Beside Yang Fan, two elders appeared. One of them exuded a dignified aura, akin to a sharp sword that could erupt forth with terrifying might at any moment.
The other elder was dressed in a simple robe, yet it was extremely clean and tidy. His black hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyes shone with a piercing light. Upon seeing this elder, many in the crowd had expressions of shock on their faces, especially those Divine Inscriptionists. Respect could be seen in their eyes.
"Grandmaster Fenrir." Several Divine Inscriptionists bowed to the elder.
Bailu Yi's eyes flashed with a strange light as she spoke in a low voice, "Fourth-ranked Grandmaster Fenrir. The Star-Seizing Manor actually managed to invite him here. It seems like they view this exchange with great importance."
"Everyone should be here. All the Divine Inscriptionists participating in the exchange, please proceed to the Cultivation Grounds. Grandmaster Fenrir will be the judge of this exchange," the sharp-looking elder stated. His voice wasn't loud, yet it contained an intense penetrative intent.
"Grandmaster Fenrir will be the judge?" The countenances of the crowd flickered as numerous silhouettes ascended the Cultivation Grounds.
These people were all from the major powers in the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent. There were no independent Divine Inscriptionists here.
However, this was an extremely common occurrence. For powerful Divine Inscriptionists, there was no need for them to participate in the exchange. Only those major powers would pay a hefty price to invite them. When the silhouettes ascended the Cultivation Grounds, many in the crowd exclaimed in shock. Even the gazes of the spectators clashed with each other. They saw that some of the Divine Inscriptionists who rarely showed their faces were actually invited here.
"Ghaus, you actually came as well." At this moment, a voice drifted over. Ghaus's gaze shifted in the direction of the voice, only to see three old men with similar appearances. Upon seeing the three of them, Ghaus furrowed his brows. It seemed like things were going to be troublesome, these three old fellows had actually arrived.
"The three brothers of the Li Clan, they actually came." Bailu Yi furrowed her brows as she explained in a low voice, "These three are brothers. Very few people know of their real names, but they are extremely famous in the Moon Continent because all three of them are third-ranked Grandmasters. Not only that, they are able to communicate telepathically with one another. As long as one of them starts to inscribe a Divine Inscription, the other two would be able to help him complete the inscription."
The eyes of those from the various major powers all narrowed. This was bad, they had initially thought that Yan Tie would have the highest chance of obtaining first place. But now, Ghaus was representing the White Deer Institute, the three brothers of the Li Clan were representing the Watermoon Mountain Villa, and the representatives of the Demon Cult and Scarlet Thunder Sect were all extremely powerful characters.
The members of the Yan Clan and Leng Clan both frowned. If this was the case, the pressure on Yan Tie would be immense. Other than Yan Tie, the Leng Clan had also invited a Divine Inscriptionist to participate. However, it was clear that they were only here to join in the fun. It was already impossible for them to enter the top three.
"Damn it, damn it, it seems like the rumors are true. We're going to miss this opportunity." Many cursed in their hearts.
However, Yan Tie didn't care about Ghaus or the three brothers of the Li Clan. His eyes were fixed on Qin Wentian. The Heavens must be on his side, Qin Wentian actually dared to participate in the exchange. If that was the case, Yan Tie would definitely find an opportunity to kill him.
However, he didn't know what rules Fenrir would set to determine the victor of this exchange.
There were nine camps of participants, and each camp consisted of three people, for a total of twenty-seven participants. They represented the nine major powers of the Moon Continent.
Grandmaster Fenrir stood on top of the high walls, smiling as he gazed downwards. "I've once entered the Refinement Grounds of Divine Inscriptions, and have a deep impression of it. Within the Refinement Grounds, there are many traps, formations, and powerful puppets. In any case, it's impossible to guard against them. Sadly, I don't have the chance to enter now, or I would definitely want to try it again."
Grandmaster Fenrir wasn't only a fourth-ranked Grandmaster, he was also a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign. Hence, he had no way to enter the Refinement Grounds of Divine Inscriptions.
Of the eighteen training grounds in Grand Xia, there were training grounds for cultivators below Yuanfu, as well as training grounds for Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns. The training grounds for Divine Inscriptions in the Moon Continent were for Yuanfu cultivators.
"Today, I will conduct three tests on all of you." Grandmaster Fenrir stepped out, standing in the air. With a wave of his hands, a gigantic diagram descended from the skies.
"RUMBLE!" A terrifying sound reverberated through the air. The crowd only saw that the gigantic diagram had actually materialized, resembling a gigantic piece of earth descending upon the Cultivation Grounds, causing the entire area to tremble uncontrollably. The gazes of the crowd instantly landed on the diagram, only to see that there were mountains and rivers on the diagram, it was actually an all-encompassing diagram.
"In the Refinement Grounds, there are countless Divine Inscriptions and traps, it's impossible to guard against them all. I have no way to reach that level, but I will still inscribe many Divine Inscriptions here. All of you will take turns to search for the Divine Inscriptions until no one is able to find the Divine Inscription.
As for your results, I will remember them in my heart. "Fenrir continued," At this moment, all of you can stand on the platform. You can choose whichever one you want to start with. There are many Divine Inscriptions, as long as you can find one, it will automatically vanish. "
"Let me go first." Among the three brothers of the Li Clan, the third brother indifferently spoke. After which, he pointed his finger forward and instantly, astral light flashed as the image of a phoenix soared up into the air, soaring into the clouds before disappearing from sight.
Beside him was Yan Tie, there was naturally no need for Yan Tie to act personally. Someone beside him stepped out and pointed to a direction where a ferocious tiger could be seen roaring.
After which, it was the Leng Clan's turn.
After that, it was the representatives from the Scarlet Thunder Sect, and after that, to the right of Qin Wentian's group, the Demon Cult also sent out three representatives. What made everyone bewildered was that the leader of these three was actually a young man. His eyes were closed in meditation, and the middle-aged man beside him stepped out as he activated a divine imprint.
"Let me do it." After the Demon Cult, Bailu Yi stepped out. She stood at the edge of the Divine Inscription and pointed her finger forward. Over there, the Shadow of a Long Spear erupted forth.
In the blink of an eye, the Divine Inscriptions of the Nine Great Factions had already been discovered. Gradually, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, there were people who were unable to find the Divine Inscriptions. However, there were only three people in each faction. If one of them failed, the other two would be able to participate.
After nine rounds, there were already eighty-one Divine Inscriptions. And now, when it was the turn of the Han Clan from the Eastern Region, not a single one of the three Grandmasters were able to find the Divine Inscription. They couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed. Evidently, they had been thoroughly defeated in the first round.
"My Han Clan withdraws from this exchange." An elder of the Han Clan spoke, causing the three of them to feel somewhat embarrassed. They could only dejectedly walk down the stage.
The Han Clan's preparations were obviously insufficient.
The Second Elder of the Li Clan stepped forward, waving his hand as he imprinted his palm onto a certain location. Instantly, a resonance was triggered as another palm imprint flew out from that location. This was none other than a Divine Inscription.
As for the Yan Clan, Yan Tie personally acted, searching for the Divine Inscriptions.
The Leng Clan had no way of finding the Divine Inscriptions, hence they withdrew from the competition. Their hopes were all on Yan Tie.
After two rounds, even Bailu Yi had no way of finding the Divine Inscriptions. Qin Wentian glanced at Ghaus, only to see that Ghaus was extremely calm, his eyes were closed as he meditated. Seeing that Bailu Yi was in a difficult position, Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice, "Withered tree."
Bailu Yi shifted her gaze onto a withered tree. With a wave of her hand, a hidden Divine Inscription appeared. She turned her head and smiled bitterly at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian lightly nodded his head in consolation. He would act next to prevent Bailu Yi from feeling awkward.
After a few more rounds, more and more people withdrew. Although Grandmaster Fenrir didn't say who would be eliminated, they knew that they had no hope of becoming one of the top three.
Of the nine transcendent powers, only five remained. They were: Qin Wentian from the White Deer Institute, the Li Clan from the Watermoon Mountain Villa, Yan Tie from the Yan Clan, the young man from the Demon Cult, and the white-bearded old man from the Scarlet Thunder Sect. This white-bearded old man was also a famous third-ranked Grandmaster, and his name was Zuo Yu. He knew that he wouldn't be able to break through to the Heavenly Dipper Realm, hence he focused all his efforts on researching Divine Inscriptions.
"The remaining participants are so powerful, to think that they could still find the Divine Inscriptions." The spectators mused, only to see the Third Elder of the Li Clan waving his hand as he found another Divine Inscription.
Yan Tie wasn't willing to be outdone, and so did Zuo Yu and the young man from the Demon Cult. Qin Wentian waved his hand as a swordfish appeared in the water.
"How powerful, it seems like even Little Yi is inferior to him in the field of Divine Inscriptions." In the direction of the White Deer Institute, Bailu Shan commented in a low voice. Bailu Yi had already withdrawn, it was evident that she had no way of finding the Divine Inscriptions. Even Ghaus's eyes flickered, he was somewhat taken aback by Qin Wentian's ability.
Finally, when it was Zuo Yu's turn again, he could no longer find the Divine Inscriptions. After which, he calmly stated, "There are no more Divine Inscriptions."
"Are you sure?" Fenrir asked with a smile on his face.
Zuo Yu furrowed his brows before nodding his head, "I'm sure."
"What about you?" Fenrir glanced at the young man below Zuo Yu, only to see the young man abruptly pointing his finger forward. With a deafening boom, an ancient tree shattered into pieces, and a flash of saber light shot out. This scene caused Zuo Yu's countenance to stiffen as he sighed in his heart. However, he didn't take the initiative to withdraw. At this level, the only thing he lacked was his perception.
"What about you guys?" Fenrir glanced at Qin Wentian, only to see Ghaus opening his eyes as he replied, "There are more."
Qin Wentian, who was about to make a move, gave up on the idea when he saw Ghaus walking towards him. Ghaus waved his hands as he found another Divine Inscription, causing Zuo Yu's countenance to turn increasingly unsightly.
After which, the three Li Clan Elders also found another Divine Inscription. When it was Yan Tie's turn, he frowned as he stated, "There shouldn't be any more."
Zuo Yu skipped the Divine Inscription. The young man furrowed his brows as he shook his head, but he didn't say anything.
Ghaus narrowed his eyes as he stared ahead. Seeing that Ghaus wasn't replying, Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice, "Old Gu, below the slope!"
"Do I need you to remind me?" Ghaus frowned as he stared at Qin Wentian. After which, he abruptly waved his palms as the Shadow of a Flood Dragon broke through the surface of the water, causing the spectators to sigh in admiration.
"Old Gu, Qin Wentian is doing this out of goodwill." Bailu Yi spoke up for Qin Wentian. Although Old Gu was a senior, Qin Wentian couldn't help but feel that he had lost face by reminding Qin Wentian.
"Haha, the last Divine Inscription." The Li Clan Elders laughed as they blasted out another Divine Inscription. Ghaus stared at them as he nodded his head, "Seems like the skills of the three of you aren't bad."
"Is there no more?" Fenrir asked in the air.
"No more," the three Li Clan Elders replied in unison.
"No more," Ghaus replied with certainty.
Fenrir casually laughed. However, just when the spectators thought that the Divine Inscription had ended, Qin Wentian waved his hands as a beam of sword light slashed onto the Divine Inscription. After which, he slashed out horizontally, causing two beams of sword light to converge as they intertwined with each other. In an instant, a sharp sword pierced through the air, emitting a terrifying sword keening.
In that instant, the eyes of the spectators gleamed with sharpness as they stared at the young man waving his hands. Ghaus's countenance sank.
Qin Wentian's countenance was calm. If Ghaus hadn't spoken earlier, he would still have reminded him. But since there was no need for him to do so, he would personally act!
