Chapter 368 - First windfall in the Dao Realm

"Entrance test?"

Remaining in his Dragon form because he was afraid to turn back into human form and reveal the World Crest on his wrist, Jian Shen didn't understand what Lan Yue meant by not needing to attend the entrance test.

"The Hall of Heroes is so popular that as many as 30% of the residents inside the Dao Realm try to join it. That's why everyone who wants to join must pass the entrance test which eliminates close to 90% of those who want to join the Hall."

"Those who pass in the entrance exam are allowed to take part in the assessment which decided whether or not you are qualified to join the Hall of Heroes."

"And that token I gave you is something which is given out by the Hall Lords and other upper echelons of the Hall of Heroes to those who we think deserve the privilege to skip the entrance exam."

Rubbing the simple-looking golden token in his hand, Jian Shen could heal the arrogance and dignity being excluded by the words written on it.

"The Hall of Heroes. What kind of a place is it?"

"The Hall of Heroes is more or less the same as a sect. The only difference is that even though all the Halls under it are part of the Hall of Heroes, they share a rivalry among each other which is the same as the ones various sects have among each other."

Nodding its head, the white dragon curiously asked, "As the Lord of the Sword Hall, why are you giving this to me?"

Blinking her eyes in confusion for a second, the woman began laughing loudly without caring for her dignity.

With the melodious laughter lasting for quite some time, Lan Yue finally said, "Your dragon form can hide quite a lot of your secrets, but your Sword Qi and Sword Soul cannot be hidden from me."

"One last question."

"Ask away."

"If you wanted to recruit me, then why didn't you help me take care of them?"

Chuckling a little, Lan Yue shook her head and showed disdain in her eyes as she said, "If you couldn't even deal with those pests by yourself, then it would have only meant that you aren't Hall of Heroes material."

"Anyway, I've told you all the I need to and gave you the token as well, as for whether you will choose to take the assessment or not, that's up to you."

Saying so, Lan Yue patted the dragon she was sitting on top of and made it turn its huge body around and started to fly away.

Before leaving though she left behind a few words for Jian Shen.

"Though they tried to kill you, be a little merciful if you can. You know what I mean, right?"

Not waiting for an answer, Lan Yue and the Celestial Flood Dragon under her kept on flying away towards where they came here from.

Seeing this Jian Shen sighed in relief because the invisible pressure which was leaking from both of them left along with them and allowed Jian Shen to finally breathe properly.

"So terrifying."

"As expected of the woman who became a Hall Master at such a young age."

"Are you going to join the Hall of Heroes, husband?"

Not replying since he hadn't made any decision regarding it for the time being, Jian Shen said, "I'll think about it later, right now is the time for me to reap the rewards."

Grinning greedily, Jian Shen showed an expression which perfectly suited the dragon shaped him.

...

Not turning into his human form, Jian Shen chose to instead reduce the size of his dragon form due to which he could fly around the entire Domain as needed without much trouble.

This was because even though Jian Shen could use the Intent of Space to travel, the effect and efficiency of the various Intents of Heaven and Earth were suppressed by a lot in comparison to when he was in the Mortal Realm and the Divine Realm.

Due to this, Jian Shen chose to fly in his Dragon form instead since this was much easier and allowed him to travel to all the locations he needed at a fast speed.

Having won the battle and killed everyone who tried to use him as an ingredient for their own selfish desires, the victor Jian Shen was on his way to suck every single force that attacked him dry.

And given all of them who tried to kill him, this included almost every single force that existed on the Ancient Rock Domain.

Even though Jian Shen had long back sensed that everyone had run off while he was focused on dealing with his enemies, he didn't think that they could've taken all of the precious items with them.

Due to this, Jian Shen began visiting every single place he felt that the powerful sects, clans, kingdoms, and so on were located at and sucked them dry of anything which was even remotely valuable.

As for Lan Yue's advice to him, Jian Shen was indeed planning to follow it.

And this was going to be done by not destroying the buildings to vent his anger. As for leaving anything precious behind, hahahahahahahaha, such a thing should not be expected by those cowards who ran away after offending him.

With such thoughts, Jian Shen reached his first destination on the Ancient Rock Domain to enjoy his first windfall in the Dao Realm.
