This day was destined to be a turbulent one.
On the same day that Chen Qianhua broke through the Red Lotus Cliff, another great battle broke out on Kunlun Mountain.
Similar to the previous incident where the Red Lotus Cliff was breached, the news of this battle was also not widely spread under the control of someone with ulterior motives.
However, a small number of people in the know felt that it was absurd.
The two Exalted Martial Saints engaged in a great battle for the vacant position of the Southern Exalt.
One of them was actually the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua.
That's right, he was going to give up his original position as the Upper Exalt to contest for the position of the Southern Exalt.
This was something that made people not know whether to laugh or cry, but it really happened.
What was even more dramatic was that Chen Qianhua did not succeed.
The previously vacant position of the Southern Exalt had suddenly gained a new competitor.
As soon as he learned of Chen Qianhua's wish, the "God-petrifying Sword" Nie Jingshen stepped into the Supremacy Realm on the spot.
It was rumored that the entire process was completed in one go, and it was as natural as breathing, without the slightest obstruction.
It was as if he had been waiting for this moment.
Normally speaking, a newly advanced Supremacy would fill in any gaps.
Nie Jingshen's breakthrough would naturally fill the vacant position of the Southern Exalt.
However, Chen Qianhua's desire to descend from the top to the south was extremely strong.
In the end, the two of them had engaged in a great battle for the position of the Southern Exalt.
This might be the greatest battle between Martial Saints that the World beyond Worlds had seen in the past thousand years!
Both sides fought their way into the infinite space outside of the World beyond Worlds, the intensity of the battle even comparable to that between True Immortals and Emperors.
During the battle, the Senluo Emperor, who had previously helped the Red Lotus Cliff clean up, arrived.
Upon hearing the news, the Heaven Emperor arrived.
Because this matter involved Jade Capital Crag and Broad Creed Mountain, even the Female Emperor who usually stayed aloof from worldly affairs had arrived.
Coupled with the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng, who had arrived at the Qianhua Peak earlier, under their witness, the battle ended in a draw with both sides heavily injured.
Chen Qianhua had unexpectedly failed to take down his opponent. Regardless of the thoughts of the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng, even with the support of the Heaven Emperor, he could only maintain his silence in the face of the dissatisfaction of the Female Empress and the Encompassing Emperor.
Therefore, Chen Qianhua was unable to take control of the south, leaving the position of the Upper Exalt unchanged as his intention of demoting himself fell through.
Meanwhile, the new Southern Exalt who had been left vacant for a long time had finally been appointed.
Nie Jingshen's sword shocked the world.
Having just become a Human Immortal, he had battled to a draw with the previous strongest Martial Saint of the World beyond Worlds, Chen Qianhua.
One had to know that not long ago, Chen Qianhua had withstood the pressure of the Senluo Emperor to break through the Red Lotus Cliff, proving to the world that he could fight against an Immortal Realm cultivator with just his body alone.
At this moment, Chen Qianhua was helpless against Nie Jingshen, who had just entered the Exalt Martial Saint Realm.
In terms of age and years of cultivation, Nie Jingshen was slightly younger.
This made one's imagination run wild.
After learning about how the new Southern Exalt had ascended to the throne, Yan Zhaoge could not help but rub his palms in admiration, "Senior apprentice-brother Nie truly turned the tides."
There were actually still newly ascended ninth level Martial Saints of the World beyond Worlds who could sit stably on the position of the Southern Exalt.
But because of his position, most of the time, no one would consider him.
This person was naturally Nie Jingshen.
Still, he was different from Chen Qianhua. Him becoming the Southern Exalt did not affect Broad Creed Mountain's movements in the slightest.
He would not be like the Southwestern Exalt Bai Tao in establishing his own local power.
Nie Jingshen's ambition had always been elsewhere.
Him occupying the position of the Southern Exalt this time was, to put it bluntly, specifically to bring thunder to Broad Creed Mountain.
While others were surprised by Nie Jingshen stepping into the Human Exalt realm, Yan Zhaoge was not.
This was because he had known from the start that, unlike He Xixing and Li Junxin, Nie Jingshen could take this step at any time.
It was not that he could. It was just that he wanted to.
When the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen had perished, Nie Jingshen had been able to fill in. It was just that he had not been interested in it. Secondly, he had come to Broad Creed Mountain's opening ceremony to boost its reputation, not because the Northern High Peak's Jade Capital Crag lineage wanted the position of an Exalt. Therefore, Nie Jingshen had chosen not to take that step.
He had not advanced then, and he had not advanced in the following days as well. Nie Jingshen had essentially been suppressing himself at the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm.
If nothing unexpected happened, he had been preparing to wait a few more days, when the aftershocks of Broad Creed Mountain's opening ceremony had died down. Still, he would not reveal this news to too many people as he did not intend to succeed the position of the Southern Exalt.
Nie Jingshen had the same thoughts as some others. That position was left for the nameless Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, waiting for the day when they truly became the Southern Exalt.
It was only this time that he had acutely sensed that Chen Qianhua intended to harm Broad Creed Mountain's lineage in his ascension to the position of the Southern Exalt. Therefore, he had released his restrictions and ascended, blocking Chen Qianhua's footsteps outside the south!
"I also knew that the Shocking God Sword was peerless in the past. Never would I have thought that it would actually be sharp to such an extent," The Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu sighed emotionally as well, feeling like the waves behind were always ahead of the old.
Yan Zhaoge had brought Meng Wan back to the World beyond Worlds this time, landing in the northeastern Sky Heaven Territory.
While those who knew about the battle between Red Lotus Cliff and Qianhua Peak were limited, Liu Zhenggu who was an Exalt of Ten Territories had naturally received news of it.
Yan Zhaoge had learnt many details from him. For example, while Chen Qianhua possessed the Immortal Artifact, the Heavenly Heart Ruler, he had never intended to use it.
Also, Jade Capital Crag's side was not completely unprepared. After learning that Nie Jingshen and Chen Qianhua had begun fighting, Wang Pu had immediately dispatched the Leakless Immortal Artifact that the Sword Sovereign had left behind to guard Jade Capital Crag.
It was just that in the end, both sides had only clashed with their own strength as neither had used their Immortal Artifacts.
Yan Zhaoge said emotionally as he listened to Liu Zhenggu, "I had never thought that senior apprentice-brother Nie actually possessed the legendary Earlier Heaven Nascent Form …"
Earlier heaven was eternal, never falling to later heaven.
It was one of the most peak physiques in history.
Under certain circumstances, the word 'one of' could even be omitted.
It was no wonder that he had been able to cause the Sword Sovereign's sword to tremble when he had still been a young child.
Also, he had possessed the opportunity at the beginning of Primordial. Therefore, he had been immune to the Origin Heavenly Scripture's deductions and probing to a certain extent.
The former Heavenly Young Master, the current Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua, had always been the number one expert of whichever cultivation level he had ascended to ever since he had started cultivating. There had never been an exception.
A large part of this was due to the infinite profundities of the Origin Heavenly Scripture which virtually possessed foresight when clashing with others.
If martial practitioners of the same cultivation level wanted to challenge Chen Qianhua, they would first have to consider the existence of the Origin Heavenly Scripture.
Yan Zhaoge himself possessed the Peerless Heavenly Scripture as he did not have to consider this problem at all.
Still, for those who intended to contend with Chen Qianhua, this was a major issue that they had no choice but to consider.
Fortunately, Nie Jingshen did not have to consider this problem.
Due to this coincidence, peak comprehension ability, peak foundation and outstanding will, he had been able to create a martial practitioner who was already able to contend with Chen Qianhua despite having only just entered the Human Exalt stage.
"Regardless of how Upper Chen does things, his talent cannot be belittled," Liu Zhenggu shook his head and sighed in admiration, "Kunlun's God Shocking Dragon and Youth's Eight Clans are truly worthy of their reputations."
"Now, with the appearance of you and your esteemed father and son, our World beyond Worlds has truly seen an endless number of geniuses over the past hundred years."
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "Elder Liu is polite. The battle for the position of the Southern Exalt ended with senior apprentice-brother Nie ascending to the position. I wonder what the outcome of that matter at Red Lotus Cliff was?"
Chen Qianhua had trampled on Red Lotus Cliff. The matter would not be let off so easily.
"This outcome …" Liu Zhenggu's expression turned strange, "Upper Chen's actions are truly unexpected!"
