"He … Why did he go up there?!"
Upon seeing Duan Lingtian's actions, the Seventh Prince, Long Qing Yun, who was enraged by Long Fei Yun's words, was horrified. He did not expect Duan Lingtian would go up there.
Could this purple-clad young man be a disciple from a powerful sect outside the Wasteland?
Since he already belonged to a sect, it was reasonable to say that he would not be interested in the Wasteland Grand Tournament, nor would he participate in it.
After all, the purpose of the Wasteland Grand Contest was to recruit disciples from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
"Why is he here?!"
When Long Qing Yun saw Duan Ling Tian's actions, Long Xiang Yun, the Fourth Prince, was stunned as well.
On the other hand, Zhou Shu Qiu, the Third Miss of the Zhou clan, who was standing next to Long Xiang Yun, had a glint in her eyes as she muttered to herself, 'I didn't expect him to participate in the selection … It seems like he's interested in the Wasteland Grand Contest.'
Zhou Shu Qiu did not tell anyone that she had come to observe the selection held by the Imperial family of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom because she suspected Duan Lingtian would come.
After all, based on her investigation, Duan Lingtian might not have a powerful background.
If Duan Lingtian did not have a powerful background and did not belong to a sect, it was very likely that he would join one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland through the Wasteland Grand Contest. After all, the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were the most suitable path for someone without a powerful background.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian was close to Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince, so it was not impossible for him to represent Long Fei Yun in the Wasteland Grand Contest.
However, even if Zhou Shu Qiu thought so, she was not 100% certain that Duan Lingtian would be interested in the Wasteland Grand Contest.
At this moment, she was completely certain.
'It seems like he doesn't belong to a sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest.'
Zhou Shu Qiu thought to herself.
Generally speaking, it was impossible for someone who belonged to a sect to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest.
This was because the outstanding participants of the Grand Contest of the Wasteland would be accepted by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. Although they could reject the Grand Contest of the Wasteland, they would not receive the Grand Contest of the Wasteland's rewards.
Therefore, those who belonged to sects would not be so bored as to participate in the Wasteland Grand Competition.
"Of course, there's another possibility … He's only participating in today's selection to obtain a spot to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest. He doesn't intend to stand out in the Wasteland Grand Contest."
Zhou Shu Qiu's heart sank when she thought of this. "Perhaps the reason he's participating in the selection is to help the thirteenth prince, Long Fei Yun, become the number one prince."
"Perhaps, he'll admit defeat during the Wasteland Grand Contest. That way, he won't be related to the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland."
For a moment, Zhou Shuqiu felt that Duan Lingtian might have an extraordinary background.
"One day … I will find out your background!"
Zhou Shuqiu muttered to herself as she stared at Duan Lingtian's back.
"Sister … Why did he go up there?"
Zhou Shu Dong, the Fourth Miss of the Zhou Clan, who was standing next to Zhou Shu Qiu, was stunned when she saw Duan Lingtian on the stone platform in the middle of Xu Rong Palace.
In her opinion, this purple-clad young man was from a major sect outside of the Wasteland.
If that was the case, why did he participate in today's selection?
How could someone who belonged to a sect join the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland after the Wasteland Grand Contest?
Zhou Shu Qiu replied to Zhou Shu Dong's question, "Perhaps, he doesn't intend to stand out in the Wasteland Grand Contest and enter the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland … Perhaps, he's only participating in today's selection to help the thirteenth prince become the number one prince."
Realization dawned on Zhou Shu Dong when she heard Zhou Shu Qiu's words. She relayed Zhou Shu Qiu's words to Long Xiang Yun, the Fourth Prince.
"So that's how it is."
Hearing that it was Zhou Shuqiu who said that, coupled with the fact that her words could solve the doubts in his heart, Long Xiangyun also felt that this was the 'truth' of the matter. For a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
"Old Seventh … You've put in so much effort to become the number one prince in the selection. You even colluded with the Grand Prestige Mansion and asked Feng Wu Ji Guang to help you. You didn't expect the mantis to stalk the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, right? "
Long Xiang Yun smiled mockingly as he looked at Long Qing Yun, the Seventh Prince.
To be honest, if either his seventh brother or thirteenth brother had to become the number one prince in the selection, he would rather his thirteenth brother win.
This was because …
Although his thirteenth brother was outstanding in all aspects, his father did not favor him. Even if he became the number one prince in the selection, he would not be able to ascend to the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
However, his seventh brother was different.
His seventh brother was similar to him in all aspects. Both of them were doted on by their father. If his seventh brother became the number one prince in the selection, his father would definitely look at him in a different light.
Long Xiang Yun did not want that to happen.
After all, if that happened, the balance between him and his seventh brother would be broken.
"H-how did he get up there?"
At this moment, the seventh prince, the fourth prince, and the others were not the only ones who were dumbfounded. Even Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, was dumbfounded. He did not expect the purple-clad young man who he thought had an extraordinary background would rise to the stage.
As far as he knew,
The purple-clad young man seemed to be a Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was not even 100 years old.
However, even if he was a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, he should be a disciple of a powerful sect outside the Wasteland.
How could a young powerhouse who belonged to a sect participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest?
Even if he did, would he join the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland?
'It seems like he wants to become the number one prince in the Wasteland Grand Contest … However, he might not join one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland on behalf of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.'
With this thought in mind, Long Dong Ping looked at Long Fei Yun and asked in a deep voice, "Thirteen, did you ask him to come here and cause trouble?"
Long Dong Ping's voice was filled with hostility and anger when he sent the Voice Transmission to Long Fei Yun.
Long Fei Yun's expression turned unsightly when he heard Long Dong Ping's words.
At this moment …
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
…
The sound of wind whistling could be heard coming from the center of Xu Rong Palace.
It was Duan Lingtian who had ascended to the stone platform in the center of Xu Rong Palace. He raised his hand and a vast amount of Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his hand before it transformed into a gigantic sword that shot toward Feng Wu Ji Guang.
"Humph!"
When Duan Lingtian had ascended to the stone platform, Feng Wu Ji Guang had already noticed Duan Lingtian. He had also noticed Duan Lingtian's gaze on him. For this reason, he was not surprised when he saw Duan Lingtian attacking him. Instead, he snorted coldly.
At the same time, Feng Wu Ji Guang's Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body like a torrent. Finally, it gathered in his hands and merged with the seven-foot-long spear.
Swoosh!
The seven-foot-long spear trembled as the Celestial Origin Energy in the surroundings surged. In the next moment, the Celestial Origin Energy in the surroundings seemed to have transformed into a gigantic python as it opened its mouth and bit at Duan Lingtian's gigantic sword.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Whether it was the gigantic sword or the long spear that had transformed into a snake, the void trembled and rippled.
It was as though a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the lake.
"Is that the thirteenth prince's subordinate?"
"I think so … Moreover, based on his strength, it seems like he's on par with Feng Wu Ji Guang."
"He's at least a Violet Sun Golden Celestial … I wonder if he's as strong as Feng Wu Ji Guang?"
"Who's he? I've never heard of such a person in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom … "
"I've never heard of him before. I don't know where it came from. "
…
In Xu Rong Palace, the people from the various mansions discussed among themselves. They were all curious about Duan Lingtian's identity.
After all, in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, they had only heard of Feng Wu Ji Guang, a Violet Sun Golden Celestial who was younger than 100 years old. They had never heard of a second Violet Sun Golden Celestial who was younger than 100 years old. For this reason, they were all curious about Duan Lingtian's identity.
Boom!
Rumble!!
…
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the stone platform in the middle of Xu Ronggong's palace, a series of deafening booms resounded in the void, as if a violent earthquake had occurred out of nowhere.
The gigantic sword formed from Duan Lingtian's Celestial Origin Energy suddenly grew in size. Its strength increased by a few levels in just a blink of an eye.
At this moment, everyone in Xu Rong Palace noticed the change in Duan Lingtian's attack.
"How's this possible?!"
Feng Wu Ji Guang was, naturally, Duan Lingtian's opponent. Feng Wu Ji Guang had unleashed his full strength. He thought he would be able to tie with Duan Lingtian. He did not expect Duan Lingtian's strength to increase by a few levels in just a blink of an eye.
'A Great Overarching Golden Celestial!'
This thought appeared in Feng Wu Ji Guang's mind in just a blink of an eye.
As soon as this thought appeared, it was like a dark cloud that shrouded his heart, unable to dissipate for a long time.
"A Great Overarching Golden Celestial!"
"Heavens! He's a Great Overarching Golden Celestial! "
"Based on his aura, he's not even 100 years old … He's a Great Overarching Golden Celestial who's younger than 100 years old?!"
"There's a Great Overarching Golden Celestial who's younger than 100 years old in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom? He … He's really good at hiding his strength! "
…
An uproar broke out in Xu Rong Palace.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
A series of rumbling sounds resounded, followed by an earth-shattering bang.
The gigantic sword formed from Duan Lingtian's Celestial Origin Energy easily destroyed Feng Wu Ji Guang's attack. Even the long spear in Feng Wu Ji Guang's hand was sent flying before it pierced through a pillar at the side of the hall.
Boom!
