Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 251, Red Lotus Armor

The structure of the Celestial Travel Sect is quite large, so merely going to the Treasure Pavilion took Chu Ming the time of one incense stick burning.

Along the way, although the gazes of other disciples still contained hostility, no one directly made a move!

The Treasure Pavilion is located in the southeast corner of the Celestial Travel Sect, occupying several thousand meters, with light and shadow flitting around and multiple arrays completely surrounding it, leaving no openings.

The Treasure Pavilion is of utmost importance to the Celestial Travel Sect, with an ancestral guardian of the Realm of Transcendence stationed there.

"King Level disciple?"

A low voice came from beside Chu Ming, as a disciple and his companion simultaneously looked at Chu Ming.

"I heard a few days ago that among this year’s new disciples, there’s one with Full Comprehension. It must be him!"

"Full Comprehension?!"

The person exclaimed immediately, a trace of envy flashing across his face.

"He won’t have a peaceful few months!"

Until the two walked far away, Chu Ming gently exhaled. King Level disciples in the Celestial Travel Sect were as eye-catching as fireflies in the night.

"Elder, I wish to enter the Treasure Pavilion!"

Chu Ming walked to the elder in charge of the pavilion, respectfully saying, with his hands holding his nameplate out, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

In front of him sat an old man in his seventies, his hair gray, lying leisurely in a rocking chair like an elder.

"You may enter!"

The old man glanced at Chu Ming’s nameplate, his eyes briefly pausing before he said indifferently.

"Yes!"

Chu Ming responded respectfully, lifting his foot towards the Treasure Pavilion. The pavilion is divided into six layers, with the first layer only housing some top-tier Profound Level weapons and defense armor, which are of little value to Chu Ming.

Starting from the second layer, low-tier Earth Level weapons and defense armor appear, densely packed and countless. After all, the Celestial Travel Sect is the first sect in the Celestial Realm, its accumulated wealth over years reaching a terrifying level.

Chu Ming’s purpose this time was to choose a piece of mid-tier Earth Level defense armor, thus he needed to at least reach the third layer.

"Hmm?"

At the staircase leading to the third floor, Chu Ming’s peripheral vision caught a silhouette nearby, his eyes flashing with slight surprise.

That person, dressed in blue, seemed to respond to Chu Ming’s gaze, slowly turning his head to reveal a handsome yet cold face.

Qingyan!

This young man was the same Qingyan who had chased Chu Ming in the Celestial River Kingdom. At that time, Chu Ming had stolen a low-tier Earth Level magical treasure from Qinghao,

"Chu Ming, I didn’t expect to meet you here!"

Qingyan placed a piece of armor back onto the shelf, his gaze like sharp swords mixed with countless blades targeting Chu Ming, then paused at Chu Ming’s chest, eyes slightly narrowing.

"Meeting you here is unexpected for me as well!"

Chu Ming said calmly, his gaze indifferent. If Qingyan had previously posed any pressure on him, now Qingyan was entirely insignificant in front of him, even though Qingyan had broken through to the Fourth Layer of True Dao.

"I didn’t expect the much-discussed King Level disciple to be you!"

Qingyan’s expression grew darker. Since Chu Ming escaped, he realized Chu Ming’s talent was extraordinary, but he never imagined Chu Ming would become a King Level disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect.

This increased the difficulty of reclaiming the Earth Level magical treasure several times over.

"If you return the Golden Folding Fan to me now, I can still forgive you. Otherwise, there will be no place for you in the Celestial Travel Sect!"

Qingyan threatened.

Despite the strong talent of a King Level disciple, Qingyan had been in the Celestial Travel Sect for two years, deeply rooted with complex intertwined relationships. However, he was reluctant to utilize these connections unless absolutely necessary, given the high cost involved.

"Why should I return what I obtained by my own strength?"

Chu Ming retorted, ignoring Qingyan’s murderous glare, heading towards the third layer of the Treasure Pavilion. Qingyan’s gaze followed him until he disappeared at the edge of the second-floor staircase.

"Humph!"

Qingyan snorted coldly, losing interest in selecting treasures, leaving the Treasure Pavilion and heading towards the east with several courtyards standing among them. Though the Spiritual Power there couldn’t match Chu Ming’s courtyard, it was still several times more abundant than elsewhere in the Celestial Travel Sect.

Reaching the third layer of the Treasure Pavilion, Chu Ming’s gaze swept over the weapon and armor racks. Qingyan’s matter was just a minor episode to him.

Walking to the mid-tier Earth Level defense armor racks, Chu Ming’s Soul Power unfolded, and in an instant, all details of these defense armors appeared in his mind.

Though mid-tier Earth Level defense armors had similar defense, there were variations in strength; the weaker ones barely reached the mid-tier, while the stronger ones could rival high-tier Earth Level defense armor.

Walking slowly on the ground, Chu Ming’s gaze passed over various armors, vibrant with dazzling colors.

"Cold Ice Armor!"

"Cyan Rattan Armor!"

"Divine Light Armor!"

"..."

In a blink, half of the third layer of the Treasure Pavilion had been browsed by him, yet none of those armors met Chu Ming’s requirements.

"Hmm?"

Chu Ming’s steps halted, his gaze landing on a fiery red defense armor. The armor radiated red light, like countless fire streams bursting out, with intricate patterns engraved, appearing complex.

"Red Lotus Armor!"

Chu Ming’s hand lightly touched the surface of the Red Lotus Armor, a warm sensation instantly flowing into his body, slightly hot.

"This will do!"

Chu Ming took down the Red Lotus Armor. In his estimation, the defense of the Red Lotus Armor was considered top-tier among mid-tier Earth Level defense armor.

Leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Chu Ming slowly walked to the elder guardian of the pavilion, respectfully saying, "Elder, this is the armor I chose!"

Every disciple must register with the elder guardian after selecting armor and weapons.

"Alright!"

The elder guardian nodded slightly, his finger lightly sliding on Chu Ming’s nameplate before returning it to him.

Chu Ming left the Treasure Pavilion, heading towards his courtyard.

But after walking for a while, his brows furrowed, sensing a group of people slowly trailing him, forming a surrounding formation.

"Chu Ming, return the Golden Folding Fan to me now, and I can spare you!"

A sinister voice rang out, the disciples behind him dispersed, revealing two people among them, one of whom was Qingyan whom Chu Ming had met in the Treasure Pavilion. However, Chu Ming’s gaze directly swept past him, landing on the other person.

This person had dark skin and a rigid face, his eyes vacant without any signs of movement. The most striking was the muscle bulge on his robust arm, oozing power.

This person is not weak!
