Chapter 207: Famous in the Central Continent, the Imperial Road Treasury

"That woman in white is Bai Yuting of the Dan Clan!"

"Heavens, the Prodigies of the three Imperial Clans are actually greeting that person!"

"Who is he? Why are the Imperial Clan Prodigies so respectful?"

Discussion broke out everywhere, and everyone looked at Zhou Chen with shocked eyes.

Bei Nianyu also walked over and naturally took Zhou Chen's arm. "It seems you made quite a few friends in the Secret Realm."

"The Saintess of the Northern Underworld Sea Region!"

Seeing Bei Nianyu, the crowd was even more shocked.

One must know that whether it was the three Imperial Clans or the Northern Underworld Sea Region, they were all existences with transcendent status. They didn't need to participate in any evaluation because they themselves represented the highest status.

And now, these people were actually surrounding a Cultivator who looked very young!

"Silence!"

Just then, a majestic voice rang out.

City Lord Li Feiyu of the City of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations appeared on the high platform, his Quasi-Emperor aura fully revealed, only a step away from being a Great Emperor.

"The journey to the Tai Xu Secret Realm has ended. Now, we shall begin settling the results!"

With a wave of City Lord Li Feiyu's sleeve, a light screen appeared in the air.

"Depending on your performance and gains in the Secret Realm, the Starry Sky Emperor Seal will display different colors. Bronze is the lowest, followed by Silver, Gold, and Purple-Gold!"

"Now, display your Starry Sky Emperor Seals!"

Everyone showed their emperor seals one after another.

Most people's emperor seals were bronze or silver; only a few reached pale gold.

"That's Chu Cangming of the Taichu Holy Land!"

Chu Cangming stepped forward. His emperor seal was pale gold, causing a wave of exclamations.

"As expected of a Prodigy from the Taichu Holy Land!"

"Pale gold, this result is already astonishing!"

"Miao Dandan of the Black Abyss Holy Land!"

Miao Dandan's emperor seal was also pale gold.

"Lin Xueer of the Frost Moon Holy Land!"

Lin Xueer's emperor seal was also pale gold.

The representatives of the three Holy Lands were all pale gold, which was already shocking.

But next, a shocking scene occurred.

"Gu Yue of the Tianji Holy Land!"

Gu Yue stepped out proudly, his emperor seal radiating a dense golden light!

"Pure gold!"

"As expected, the Tianji Holy Land truly is the number one Holy Land!"

"Fang Yuan of the Heavenly Star Holy Land!"

Fang Yuan's emperor seal was also a dense gold!

The results of the two Saints made everyone believe that the top two spots must belong to them.

Gu Yue and Fang Yuan also showed smug smiles. In their view, the first place this time was definitely theirs.

"Han Li of the Dayan Holy Land!"

Han Li stepped out carelessly. When his emperor seal appeared— "Purple-Gold?!"

The whole place was in an uproar! A Purple-Gold emperor seal represented an extremely high evaluation!

"How is it possible? Since when did the Dayan Holy Land have such a powerful Prodigy?"

Gu Yue and Fang Yuan's faces instantly turned ugly. However, the true shock was still to come.

"Taichu Holy Land, Zhou Chen!"

When City Lord Li Feiyu called out Zhou Chen's name, everyone looked over.

Zhou Chen slowly walked out, and the Starry Sky Emperor Seal bloomed in his hand. It was pure purple!

Without any Impurities, it was a pure purple that made one's heart palpitate!

"Pur… Purple emperor seal, how is that possible?!"

"Pure purple! This is a legendary-level evaluation!"

"Taichu Holy Land is ranked tenth, yet they got a Purple emperor seal?!"

The entire City of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations was in a stir!

Even City Lord Li Feiyu's eyes widened as he looked at the emperor seal in Zhou Chen's hand in disbelief.

"This… how is this possible?"

He had stayed at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor Rank for a thousand years and had seen countless Prodigies, but he had only heard of a Purple emperor seal in legends!

It was said that the last person to obtain a Purple emperor seal was a Great Emperor from a hundred thousand years ago!

"Impossible!"

Gu Yue was the first to stand up and question, "He's just a Loose Cultivator, how could he get a Purple emperor seal?"

"Exactly! There must be some trickery involved!"

Fang Yuan also stood up. "We demand to check his records in the Secret Realm!"

Disciples from other Holy Lands also chimed in, clearly unable to accept this result.

Just then—

"Who dares to question Brother Zhou?"

Lei Ming took a step forward, and the pressure of a Half-Emperor was released without reservation.

"Questioning Brother Zhou is questioning my Ji Family!"

Ji Wuming also stood up.

"I, Bai Yuting, can testify to Young Master Zhou's strength!"

Bai Yuting also stood on Zhou Chen's side.

The three Imperial Clans spoke up at the same time; this weight was too heavy!

"You guys…"

Gu Yue was so angry he couldn't speak.

"What, do you have an issue with the three Imperial Clans?"

Lei Ming sneered. "Should I go back and tell the Elders of my clan that the Tianji Holy Land looks down on our Imperial Clans?"

This label was too big; Gu Yue immediately shut his mouth.

Although the Tianji Holy Land was strong, it didn't dare to truly make enemies with the three Imperial Clans.

"Furthermore—" Ji Wuming said coldly, "Brother Zhou killed a Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit in the Secret Realm, destroyed the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array, and saved everyone. Based on this alone, the Purple emperor seal is well-deserved!"

"What? Killed a Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit?"

"Destroyed the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array?"

"Is this true?"

The whole place was in an uproar again.

A sharp light flashed in City Lord Li Feiyu's eyes. "Is what Young Master Ji says true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Lei Ming said loudly, "If you don't believe it, you can ask others who came out of the Secret Realm!"

Soon, the news was confirmed.

Many people had felt the vibration when the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array collapsed and had seen the phenomenon when the Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit fell.

"So that's how it is."

The way City Lord Li Feiyu looked at Zhou Chen changed, becoming full of respect. "Young man, you have done something great. If not for you, I'm afraid the entire Tai Xu Secret Realm would have become a dead land."

He turned to the crowd: "The Purple emperor seal is well-deserved! Who else has an objection?"

This time, no one dared to speak.

Killing a Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit—with such a feat, let alone a Purple emperor seal, even a higher Rank wouldn't be too much.

"Zhou Chen…"

Chu Cangming murmured.

Watching Zhou Chen achieve such success, the gap between him and Zhou Chen seemed to be getting wider and wider.

Even though he had broken through to the Half-Emperor Rank at this moment, he felt extremely bitter.

He didn't understand why Zhou Chen could improve so quickly.

However, even if it killed him, he wouldn't have guessed that Zhou Chen was a cheater.

"Zhou Chen."

City Lord Li Feiyu personally walked down from the high platform and came before Zhou Chen. "Young man, you are very good. I look forward to seeing your future performance."

"Thank you, City Lord."

Zhou Chen was neither humble nor arrogant.

"By the way, as the owner of a Purple emperor seal, you can obtain an opportunity to enter the Imperial Road Treasury of the City of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations to select a treasure."

City Lord Li Feiyu said, "This is a privilege that only a Purple emperor seal can enjoy."

"The Imperial Road Treasury!"

Envy appeared in everyone's eyes.

That was the legendary Imperial Road Treasury; it contained countless treasures, and any one of them was priceless!

"Additionally—"

City Lord Li Feiyu changed his tone: "Additionally, I want to remind everyone. Zhou Chen has already proven himself with his strength. If anyone still wants to use this to trouble him, consider your own standing first."
