Old friends reunited after a long time. After a short reunion, they separated. After all, they were now of different camps.
Moreover, they were two forces that were hostile to each other.
When the Extreme Yin Bout officially began and they met once more in front of everyone, it was just like when they had first met.
You look at me, I look at you. Pretending not to know each other was definitely impossible, but there also seemed to be nothing to say.
In front of so many bigwigs, any small actions would most likely be discovered. The two girls didn't even communicate with each other through their eyes.
At this moment, in the Extreme Yin Bout, the relationship between them was that of opponents.
It was night time when the Extreme Yin Bout commenced. Turbid Wave Pavilion was under gloomy and rainy weather today, dark clouds covering the sky densely, obscuring the radiance of the moon and stars as the night sky was completely dark.
Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An Qinglin personally presided over the Extreme Yin Bout. She nodded towards her Maiden of Extreme Yin, Fan Qiu.
Fan Qiu was no longer smiling at this moment. Pursing her lips, her pair of little rabbit teeth had also vanished.
She formed a fist seal with one hand, keeping it by her waist, the fingers of her other hand clasped together as she pushed out horizontally.
Accompanied by this action of Fan Qiu's, radiance instantly flickered above her head.
It was bright, cold and silent.
However, the radiance was bright, instantly causing the night sky to no longer be dark.
Moonlight that seemed able to compete with the brightness of the sun appeared above Fan Qiu's head. Amidst the moonlight, an elegant and exquisite pure white crown formed of almost transparent ice crystals appeared.
An ancient, desolate aura emanated, clear and distant, moving one's soul.
As the faint clear radiance dispersed, moonlight seemed to illuminate the entire world at this moment.
As this exquisite pure white crown appeared, its powerful presence was completely not inferior to that of the Martial Saint An Qinglin beside it.
Everyone's attention was drawn at this moment, looking at that extraordinary Sacred Artifact, the Extreme Yin Crown.
Yan Zhaoge was also looking at the Extreme Yin Crown. Other than considering the Extreme Yin Bout before him, he also thought of some other things.
Back in the Sand Region, after having obtained the pillar of the Divine Palace, he had refined it on a deeper level, having seen many traces of light engraved on it.
Amongst them, there had been a mysterious woman who had found the pillar of the Divine Palace earlier than Yan Zhaoge, yet had not taken it away.
Now that he had personally seen the Extreme Yin Crown, feeling the concept contained within from a close distance, Yan Zhaoge could be sufficiently certain that the crown on the head of the woman who had met the pillar of the Divine Palace in the Great Western Desert back then that he had found familiar was precisely this Sacred Artifact that had attracted the attention of the entire world, that everyone had fought over!
The pillar of the divine palace had been buried in the Great Western Desert for too long, and no one knew when that mysterious woman had come from.
However, the other party was likely related to the Divine Palace of the past, which made Yan Zhaoge take note of it.
Fan Qiu withdrew her left fist from her waist and slowly punched forward.
Accompanied by this action of hers, the power of the Extreme Yin Crown abruptly surged. Then, it floated away from Fan Qiu's head, flying towards mid-air.
The connection between Fan Qiu and the Sacred Weapon began to weaken, and was on the verge of being severed.
Although the moonlight still shrouded the world, the powerful feeling of power in the crown was also gradually dissipating. It wasn't that it was declining, but it was as if it had entered a deep slumber.
An Qinglin said, "The time has come. The Fifth Extreme Yin Bout is about to begin."
Hearing her words, Elder Meng, the Sunset Lord and the others all nodded towards Feng Yunsheng and Meng Wan.
All the Maidens of Extreme Yin present, Fan Qiu who had just severed her connection with the Extreme Yin Crown, all stepped forward in unison, congregating beneath the hovering Extreme Yin Crown.
They all yelled in unison, raising their heads to gaze at the Extreme Yin Crown.
Within their pupils, a lustre surged, resembling a faint metallic lustre.
Affected by this radiance, the Extreme Yin Crown shook slightly, as if having just fallen into a deep slumber, it had awoken very quickly. Then, the majestic feeling of power appeared once more.
It was just that the power fluctuations emanating now originated from the Extreme Yin Crown itself, not having a clear direction as they were released in response.
With the Extreme Yin Crown as their centre, seven pillars of light similarly flickering with a faint golden radiance descended from the sky amidst the clear, cold moonlight, enveloping Feng Yunsheng and the others.
Feng Yunsheng sensed her thoughts and feelings, seemingly establishing a connection with the Sacred Artifact in mid-air.
While it was being shared with others, while the connection was still very shallow and limited, Feng Yunsheng's heart still inevitably shook.
That place seemed like her homeland, like an incomparably familiar friend, like the place she belonged to.
Feng Yunsheng's expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful as she looked quietly at the Extreme Yin Crown in mid-air.
Once, for many years, that white crown in mid-air had been her unceasing goal and motivation.
It was not just the hopes and aspirations of the Sacred Sun Clan, but also the life goal that Feng Yunsheng herself had been happy to strive for.
Sadly, afterwards, it had been shattered like a mirage.
Luckily, Feng Yunsheng's will was strong as she very quickly found a new life goal, firmly believing that even without the Extreme Yin Physique, she would still be able to live a splendid life.
After that, there was hope once again.
Gaining and then losing, losing and then regaining.
Going round and round, those who had not had similar experiences would be hard pressed to understand how it felt.
For herself, for Broad Creed Mountain, Feng Yunsheng had to go all out.
While this was her first time officially participating, Feng Yunsheng had long since memorised the process of the Extreme Yin Bout.
Within the faint golden pillar of light, Feng Yunsheng roared, her black sabre leaving its sheath and chopping towards the air.
Within the other six pillars of light, Meng Wan and the others also did the same, each displaying their specialties.
The moves that they were currently executing were not purely the supreme martial arts of their respective clans, but the supreme Extreme Yin Arts of their own martial arts combined with the power of Extreme Yin!
Through the supreme Extreme Yin Arts, they had established a deeper connection with the Extreme Yin Crown, resonating with it.
After someone had obtained the Extreme Yin Crown, with the Extreme Yin Crown as their Dao and the supreme Extreme Yin Arts as their artifact, they would be able to wield this powerful Sacred Artifact with their Martial Scholar cultivation base.
The Heavenly Thunder Hall's Maiden of Extreme Yin, Nian Lei, struck out consecutively with her palms, resembling rushing thunder. Within the pillar of light that enveloped her, a silhouette appeared, condensing into a great drum, 'dong dong dong dong' sounds unceasingly, resembling the sound of thunder exploding one after another.
Infinite Boundless Mountain's Maiden of Extreme Yin, Ling Hui, resonated with the Sacred Artifact with her supreme Extreme Yin Arts, manifesting a seemingly unremarkable chisel that seemed able to pierce through a mountain.
Jade Sea City's Chen Suting manifested a massive vessel, riding the winds and breaking the waves.
Turbid Wave Pavilion's Fan Qiu, however, manifested a paper umbrella, drifting amidst the rain.
This was the first round of the Bout to be judged by the Sacred Artifact, the Extreme Yin Crown. No one would be able to falsify it.
Who was stronger and who was weaker was clear at a glance.
Infinite Boundless Mountain's Ling Hui was the weakest, the Heavenly Thunder Hall's Nian Lei was the stronger, and Jade Sea City's Chen Suting was a level above Nian Lei.
The youngest of the four, Turbid Wave Pavilion's Fan Qiu, was the strongest.
Now, however, the clear cry of a young phoenix emitted from Meng Wan's mouth. Then, within the faint golden pillar of light that enveloped her, the silhouette of a fiery phoenix took form, spreading its wings and soaring.
As the fiery phoenix spread its wings, it instantly suppressed the momentum of the others, dominating them all! (To be continued.)
