Supreme Conceited Emperor

"Hmph, you still dare to be rash."

Su Jue bellowed and immediately slashed his sword.

Under the cultivation of the Earth Fiend Realm, the power of the General Slash was more than doubled, immediately slicing apart the black serpent's tail.

"Whoosh!"

Su Jue followed closely behind. This time, he would not let the black snake go.

"Buzz!"

With a tremble, the black snake stopped. Then, it let out a breath as it faced a black bead. Following that, the gas actually carried the bead into the snake's stomach.

"Black Gold Pearl!"

Su Jue's heart froze, and he immediately raised his fist.

Twelve fire dragons broke through the soil and struck the body of the black serpent.

The Black Serpent Peach was so weak that it instantly shattered into seven pieces. It was dead beyond compare.

After rummaging through the corpse of the black serpent, Su Jue found the Black Gold Pearl and the black serpent's animal core, then flew towards the river bank.

With the Black Gold Pearl, he no longer needed Black Gold Sand.

Once he landed on the shore, the air began to creak non-stop, as he pointed at the animal core in Su Jue's hands with his furry fingers.

"You want to eat this?" Su Jue was suspicious, animal core s could not be eaten carelessly, if they were not careful they would explode and die.

Empty nodded vigorously.

Su Jue frowned, thinking that his empty identity was not ordinary, maybe this was his way of growing up.

Thinking about that, Su Jue threw the animal core out.

He empty took the animal core and stuffed it into his mouth, and very quickly, he heard the sound of the animal core rupturing.

"How is it?" Su Jue looked at the empty air, and Shen Mengqi, who was at the side, also looked at this scene in shock. There were many people who possessed spirit beasts in Free City, but he had never seen a spirit beast that could directly devour animal core.

"Squeak squeak", after finishing his empty meal, he lazily exchanged a few blows, then jumped onto Su Jue's shoulder, and after a while he fell asleep.

"He really is a lazy monkey." Su Jue laughed. He could feel that there was nothing wrong with the air, it was just that he was consuming the power within the animal core in his body through his sleep.

"A spirit beast that treats animal core like food is really something I've seen before!" Shen Mengqi exclaimed as he shook his head.

"Alright, if you have no more questions, we'll hurry on our way now." Su Jue looked at Shen Mengqi and said.

Shen Mengqi nodded her head: "Of course it's not a problem, my cultivation was only sealed, my stamina is still there."

Su Jue did not speak anymore, and started walking down the river, the two of them soon boarded the boat that Yu Fei had prepared for them long ago.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should arrive at the Free City in three days. So, let's rest first." Su Jue said the moment he boarded the ship.

Shen Mengqi nodded her head, then thought of something and said: "You still haven't told me how much Black Gold Sands you refined earlier, one thousand kilograms, two thousand kilograms?"

"I advise you not to know." Su Jue laughed, he did not know if he would be scared to death by this girl who weighed twenty thousand kilograms.

"Tsk, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. But I'm sure it won't exceed 2000 jins." Shen Mengqi pouted.

"If you say 2000 jins, then 2000 jins."

"Hello, let's not talk about this. Tell me about your purpose for coming to Free City. Is it for the Artifact Forging Conference?" Shen Mengqi didn't seem to want to rest at all.

Su Jue turned to look at Shen Mengqi without hiding anything, and said: "That's right, it's the Artifact Forging Conference."

"Hee hee, I knew that you were here to participate in the Refining Conference, but it won't be easy for you to participate in the competition."

"What do you mean?" Su Jue asked doubtfully.

Shen Mengqi's interest was piqued, as she leaned towards Su Jue and said: "Think about it, how big is the entire Eastern Region, and how many refiners are there? And this time, it's said that even Ou Juezi will come, so there are too many people who want to participate."

"What are you trying to say?" Su Jue asked.

"Unless recommended by a large clan, anyone who wishes to participate must go through six examinations by the Refiners' Guild. Only after passing the three preliminaries will the top 108 competitors be considered as true refiners' competition!" Shen Mengqi explained.

Su Jue frowned, the process was too troublesome, no wonder Situ Huo said that there was only one chance.

So this quota was a recommendation quota that could save him on the cumbersome process.

"Su Jue, why don't you join our Shen family? As long as you pass our Shen family's selection, you will be exempted from the six previous tests and directly enter the preliminaries. Of course, if your performance is outstanding, I can give you a spot to directly enter the tournament!" Shen Mengqi laughed.

"He values me so much." Su Jue laughed.

"Although your refining level isn't high, you still have talent. Moreover, you even saved me, so …"

"So you're repaying me?" Su Jue said.

"Something like that." Shen Mengqi looked at Su Jue and said.

"There's no need to repay me, as long as you don't speak nonsense about what you've seen in the past few days." Su Jue laughed.

Shen Mengqi frowned: "Su Jue, why do you keep rejecting my good intentions? You have offended Murong Yingjie, he will definitely find trouble with you. If you join our Shen Family, at least we can guarantee your safety."

"Murong Yingjie huh?" Su Jue laughed, but he did not take it to heart.

"Right, Murong Yingjie is not as simple as you think she is. He is not only the disciple of the Artifact King, she is also the son of the Yellow Dragon Island's Island Lord. Shen Mengqi asked worriedly.

Su Jue was suspicious, and asked: "What is Yellow Dragon Island, and what does it have to do with the Sword Lake Palace?"

"The Sword Lake Palace is made up of the four great islands. Yellow Dragon Island is one of them, and the authority of the four great island masters is second only to the Palace Masters of the Sword Lake Palace!"

"If that's the case, then what about the Holy Maiden? Is her status very high?" Su Jue thought back to when Leng Yu had talked about the Sword Lake Palace's Holy Maiden.

Shen Mengqi was startled, then said: "Sword Lake Palace has a Holy Son and a Holy Maiden, they are the most outstanding young talents, in terms of position, even the Island Master is extremely courteous to them, and the current Holy Maiden is even the last disciple of the Palace Mistress of Sword Lake Palace, what do you think of her position?"

Su Jue nodded, no wonder Leng Yu had such an arrogant look when he talked about the Holy Maiden.

"I'm going to cultivate. You can enter the warehouse to rest."

After a long while, Su Jue said while looking at Shen Mengqi.

"No manners!" Shen Mengqi glared at Su Jue, crawled up and walked towards the cabin.

Just after Shen Mengqi left, Su Jue began to cultivate.

The opponent he would face at Free City would be countless times stronger than the one at Tianwu City.

Forget about everything else, just Murong Yingjie had the strength of at least the fourth stage of Earth Fiend Realm.

Furthermore, Murong Yingjie's battle power was much stronger than the coachman of the Twelve Chain Dock, and just that Star Armor alone was enough to force Mei Chengkong, who was at the eighth level of Earth Fiend Realm, to sacrifice herself in order to subdue it.

As a result, they could not be compared to each other with the same cultivation base.

In terms of resources, they were far inferior to a place like the Sword Lake Palace's Three Ultimate Peak.

It was a very simple principle, if Mei Chengkong had a type of magical equipment, or war body, then it would be impossible for Su Jue to kill him, but he did not.

Hence, to survive in a place like Free City, he must possess even more powerful strength.

Below the boat, Su Jue trained all the way while he looked at the scenery on both sides with boredom. It was not that she didn't want to talk to Su Jue, but rather he was very curious about him.

Unfortunately, Su Jue did not pay attention to him.

Three days later, the sun had risen in the east, and Su Jue slowly opened his eyes. In the distance, he saw a gigantic city lying in the center of the sky, looking ancient and majestic.

"Free City!"

Su Jue stood up and stretched his body.

The Free City was also known as the Eastern Continent's imperial city and was where the ruler of the Eastern Region, Luo Yuntian, used to live. But now that Luo Yuntian had died three hundred years ago, the former imperial city had become the Free City!

Su Jue, are you sure you don't want to go to our Shen family? Shen Mengqi asked again.

Su Jue laughed, brought the boat to the shore and jumped off, then said: "We'll see."

Su Jue extended his hand out, causing his face to turn red, but he did not reject. Holding Su Jue's hand, he jumped off the boat.

Soon, they entered the city gate.

The inside of the city was naturally very popular, but for Su Jue, it had become very common. He had even seen a city that was a hundred times or a thousand times bigger than this one.

"Alright, then we'll part ways here." Su Jue said.

Shen Mengqi nodded, then took out a scented sachet from her waist and handed it to Su Jue: "This is for you."

Su Jue frowned, and asked: "What is this?"

Shen Mengqi blushed and said: "This is my keepsake, if you need any help, go find me at the Shen Family at any time."

Su Jue did not dawdle and directly took the scented sachet to sniff, then laughed: As elegant as a chrysanthemum, is that your body's fragrance?

"Guess!" Shen Mengqi laughed with a red face, then turned and walked far away.

After putting away the sachet, Su Jue walked towards an inn.

After taking a room, Su Jue asked the shopkeeper for the Yang family's location, and then headed towards the Yang family.

The Yang family, one of the three great refining families of the Free City. Their strength was far stronger than theirs, but it was inferior to the Shen family.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Su Jue. What he needed to do was to grab the letter and obtain the entry limit given to him by Situ Huo.

Late in the morning, Su Jue finally arrived at the Yang Mansion.

After waiting for an incense stick of time, a deacon dressed middle-aged man finally arrived at the mansion.

"Who are you?" the deacon asked.

"I am Su Jue from the Cloud Alliance, and am here to meet the head of the Yang family, Yang Hong Tai!" Su Jue said.

The deacon frowned and said: "The Yun Alliance? Which Cloud Alliance? "

"The Tianwu City's Cloud Alliance!"

The deacon shook his head: "What Tianwu City's Cloud Alliance? I've never heard of it, if you want to see the Patriarch, you must have the Patriarch's keepsake. Do you have it?"

Su Jue shook his head: "I have a letter."

Su Jue then took out Situ Huo's letter.

"Letter? Do you know how many people come here every year with letters from so-called seniors? The deacon did not even bother to look at Su Jue's letter, his face full of disdain.

"In that case, please inform the head of the Yang family that someone from the Yun Alliance has come to see you." Su Jue was still patient. Situ Huo had contacted the Yang Family before, he believed that the Yang Family should know that he was coming.

"Brat, who do you think you are? You want me to report to you?" The deacon said disdainfully.

Su Jue frowned, and said: "I'm only asking you to report to me, isn't that what your duty is."

"F * ck, does laozi need you to remind me of some duty?" The deacon said angrily.

"What happened?"

At this moment, a young man walked over with a frown on his face!
