The Taihao Sacred Ground covered a vast area.
There was a front hall at the border between the inner and outer sanctums of the Sacred Ground. It was used to receive guests from the various factions.
Normally speaking, the disciples of the Taihao Holy Land rarely came to this place. However, today, it was not just the front hall. Countless figures were standing on the ten thousand feet wide platform and the numerous nearby and distant mountain peaks.
At a rough glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them. Furthermore, every single one of them had powerful auras rippling from their bodies.
They were all disciples of the Taihao Sacred Ground!
Thousands of disciples of the Taihao Sacred Ground stood in the square in front of the front hall. They were silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
In the middle of them, there was a huge stone platform. At this moment, on the side of the stone platform, the upper echelons of the World Edge Pavilion were sitting on the high platform.
Their gazes carried a peculiar smile as they looked at the figure on the centermost stone platform.
The man was tall, and his aura was strong. He gave off an intimidating aura.
There was another person standing beside the tall and big figure.
It was a Hall Master of the Radiance Sacred Ground.
He was smiling in front of the tall figure, and he would occasionally point at various places in the Taihao Sacred Ground.
Since the Hall Master of the Radiance Sacred Ground was fawning over him, it was obvious that the man was the messenger from the Martial Saint City!
Although the Emissary from the Saint Martial City was weaker than the Pavilion Master of the World Edge Pavilion, the Taihao Sacred Master, he was not someone the Palace Master of the Radiance Sacred Land could compare to.
A powerhouse who was between the peak of the Honorable State and the Martial Saint level was known as a Sage-to-be!
The tall figure sat there quietly, and there was no change in his expression.
It was obvious that this was not the first time he had seen such a scene.
Although it was not common for someone to replace a Sacred Ground, it was still common for someone to challenge a Sacred Ground.
The Martial Saint City allowed such challenges.
This was the rule set by the Martial Saint City, and it was also the rule of the world.
Survival of the fittest!
Survival of the fittest!
If the competition was not fierce and cruel, and everyone did not want to improve themselves, the human race would not be far from extinction.
The Taihao Sacred Master appeared in the front hall. When he saw the messenger, he walked up to him, regardless of whether he was willing or not.
"Envoy!"
Yu Qian Qiu cupped his hands towards the tall figure.
Although the Martial Saint City's envoy's cultivation wasn't as high as his, his status wasn't inferior to his.
However, when he saw the Hall Master of the Radiance Holy Land standing beside the emissary, he frowned slightly but did not say anything.
"Envoy!"
The Pavilion Master of the World Edge Pavilion, Ling Fei, moved and arrived on the high platform.
At this moment, the high platform immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.
Just by standing there, Yu Qian Qiu and Ling Fei already stood out from the crowd.
Their bodies rippled with layers of light visible to the naked eye like lake water. It was as if two gods were standing there.
This was the difference between a Saint and a mortal!
Moreover, in terms of lifespan, there was a huge difference between Saints and mortals.
It was worth noting that even a top-grade Venerable One could only live for 800 years at most. Even if one had the help of many life-prolonging spiritual medicines, one could not live for more than 1,000 years.
A thousand years was an insurmountable abyss between saints and mortals!
Once one stepped into the Saint realm, their lifespan would be extended to three thousand years!
This was also the reason why everyone yearned to become a Saint.
If one could live, who would want to die?!
No matter how glorious one was when they were alive, they would only be a cup of yellow soil after they died. Only living was eternal.
However, was there really such a thing as eternity in this world?
No one knew. It seemed that the only things that could be eternal in this world were the 'sky' above and the 'earth' below.
Therefore, everyone was pursuing the laws of heaven and earth.
There were tens of thousands of laws of heaven and earth. As long as one could comprehend one, one could become a Saint!
This was also why one could become a Saint by refining the Saint's Heart.
The energy in the Saint's Heart was actually the power of the laws. As long as one could obtain the power of the laws, one could become a Saint.
The danger was that if one could not withstand the power of the laws, only death would await them!
The deeper one's understanding of the laws, the longer one could live. It was said that at the end of the spectrum, one could live as long as heaven and earth and achieve true eternity.
At this moment, the light rippling from Yu Qian Qiu, the Taihao Saint Lord, and Ling Fei, the Pavilion Master of the World Edge Pavilion, were actually the ripples of the laws that belonged to them.
"The twelve sacred lands belong to those who are capable. Now, the World Edge Pavilion challenges the Taihao Saint Lord. Please bear witness!"
Ling Fei said respectfully to the Saint Martial City's envoy. His voice was so loud that it spread out. Even people within a few dozen miles of the Taihao Saint Lord could hear it.
"Agreed!"
The Saint Martial City's envoy finally spoke. He only spat out a single word, declaring that the Taihao Saint Lord could not refuse the World Edge Pavilion's challenge.
The rules were simple. There were three battles.
First, the battle between Saint Realm experts.
This seemed simple, but it actually prevented most forces from challenging the sacred lands.
For example, the Formless School had always been on par with the World Edge Pavilion, but it did not have the right to challenge the sacred lands. The reason was that the Formless School had no Saints!
Second, a battle between Venerables.
This was, of course, a battle between the two forces' strongest cultivators below the Saint Realm.
Third, an Emperor Realm cultivator against an Emperor Realm cultivator.
This was a battle between the younger generation of the two forces. It was also a battle between the two forces' futures.
"Brother Yu reached the Saint Realm before me. I admit defeat. Taihao Saint Lord wins this round!"
Just as the Taihao Saint Lord, Yu Qianqiu, was about to show his power and fight with Ling Fei, Ling Fei spoke with a smile.
He admitted defeat!
Immediately, there was an uproar in the surrounding area.
The disciples of the Taihao Saint Lord cheered.
However, the group of people from the World Edge Pavilion was very calm. It was as if they already knew.
Ling Fei's admission of defeat was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
Yu Qianqiu had reached the Saint Realm for hundreds of years, and he had only been there for a few years. Naturally, he was no match for Yu Qianqiu.
He admitted defeat. Although he had lost, he had lost in the most dignified way.
"For the second battle, our opponent is … Pu Gao!"
Ling Fei was not discouraged by the loss at all. Instead, he smiled widely as he spoke to Yu Qianqiu.
"Pu Gao?!"
Yu Qianqiu, who had been expressionless, finally had a slight change in his expression.
This was because Pu Gao was none other than the Sect Leader of the Formless School!
The Formless School was the number one force below the sacred lands in this area. It was all thanks to Pu Gao that they were able to maintain their status. This also reflected Pu Gao's strength.
