Immortal Venerate Yun Chen was famous throughout the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean. He had deep friendships with the masters of the various Holy Lands.
In addition to his magical treasures, his alchemy skills that had reached the pinnacle of perfection made it difficult for others to become enemies with him.
Immortal Venerate was not a cultivation rank. It was just a title, referring to those cultivators who had cultivated their Immortal Arts to the point where they could no longer cultivate them.
Such an Immortal Venerate was very powerful. If the Immortal Epoch existed, he could succeed in his tribulation at any time and ascend to Immortality.
There were only three Immortal Supremacies in the entire Penglai Sea.
Even if the Immortal Dao did not exist and there were no tribulations to read, with their Magic Skills and many Magic Treasures, Immortal Venerates could compete with Sovereign Martial Emperors.
He was the disciple of Immortal Venerable Yun Chen. This made things a bit difficult.
"What? Are you trying to scare us away by using Venerable Yun Chen's name?"
The one who spoke was Chu Yang, the Palace Master of the Zodiac Hall. As one of the three Primes of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, in terms of strength and status, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen was much inferior.
Gongshan Yu smiled and said, "Naturally, I do not dare to. I, Gongshan Yu, am not someone who does not understand the situation. The reason why I'm using my master's name is because I want to discuss something with all of you. "
"Beneath my feet is a treasured sword refined from the Source of Despair. If anyone is able to pull this sword out, they will be able to obtain it. The sword belongs to that person. If he can't pull it out, then this sword will be taken by us Junior Brothers. How about it? "
"Of course, for the sake of fairness, the seniors of the various sects cannot interfere."
Many outstanding talents whispered to each other and discussed with their seniors. It had to be said that Gongshan Yu's suggestion was perfect.
There was only one treasure sword. Even if Gongshan Yu did not fight for it, the other outstanding talents would not accept it. They would definitely bring the experts of their sects and start a chaotic battle.
Although the Source of Despair was precious, there was no need to pay such a huge price for it.
The harvest from the Heart of the Ocean was the biggest goal of this trip.
Although Gongshan Yu's suggestion clearly favored Xiao Chen, it would definitely not be easy to pull out the despair sword.
However, the Heaven's Prides were all arrogant people. They all felt that they might be able to pull out the sword.
"Senior Brother, will they agree to your suggestion?" Above the Sword Mound, Gongshan Yu's two junior brothers asked softly.
Gongshan Yu revealed a smile, feeling very confident. He said indifferently, "You don't agree? Hehe, if you don't agree, where will you put your face? Wouldn't you be afraid of me, a cultivator? "
"Our Five Poison Sect agrees with your suggestion!" The red-clothed young master from the Five Poison Sect discussed with the two old men in the sect for a moment before making the first decision.
The scholar from the Heavenly Province Academy wasn't willing to fall behind and he spoke out, "The Heavenly Province Academy has no objections either!"
Once someone agreed, the others would have to agree even if they didn't want to. Gongshan Yu's skill could be seen from the minute details.
As for the rogue cultivators who had rushed over, they could only look on with envy. They did not dare to express their dissatisfaction in such a situation.
If he really stood out, the other Holy Lands would join forces to suppress him. The gains would not make up for the losses. He could only watch the show from the sidelines.
"Who wants to go first?"
Gongshan Yu stood in the middle of the black hurricane above the Sword Mound. He smiled faintly as he spoke.
No one moved for a long time after Gongshan Yu spoke. Everyone knew that this treasure sword that contained the source of despair was definitely not simple.
No one was stupid. Gongshan Yu would not make such a suggestion and let someone else take away the despair sword for free.
They wanted to be the first to snatch the sword, but they were afraid of taking the risk and the negative consequences. The outstanding talents felt very conflicted.
"I'll go!"
After a while of silence, the red-clothed young master from the Five Poison Sect soared into the air with an untamed look in his eyes.
The black hurricane howled, and the horrifying state of despair made everyone feel unbearable pain.
The red-clothed young master narrowed his eyes and resisted the invasion of the state of despair. His figure flashed, and he moved through the hurricane, arriving before Gongshan Yu and the others.
Despite being in the center of the hurricane, this place was very calm. Not even the sound of wind could be heard.
"Please!"
Gongshan Yu and his two junior brothers retreated far away. They only stopped when they were out of the entire Sword Mound.
The red-clothed young master looked down and fixed his gaze on a black sword flickering with a faint light. He stepped on the air and slowly arrived before the sword.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Fan, looking forward to what would happen next.
They could not let this fellow take advantage of them. Otherwise, they would suffer a great loss. That was what most people thought.
Risk and opportunity coexisted. The first person to appear would definitely face the greatest risk. However, the opportunity was also the greatest.
The red-clothed young master kept his cool and descended. Then, he walked through the group of swords and arrived before the sword.
"This young master will be taking this sword!"
The red-clothed young master shouted and stretched out his hand to grasp the sword hilt. Then, he circulated all the Law Energy in his body and pulled it up.
With this movement, the tens of thousands of swords in the Sword Mound buzzed at the same time. Every sword gave off a black sword Qi.
The black sword Qi gushed out, forming thousands upon thousands of them. They gathered in the air like countless tributaries merging into a great river. In that instant, the aura surged a hundred times, a thousand times.
The sword tore through space and charged forward. It was like a meteor or lightning, unbelievably fast.
However, it was not over yet. The ten-odd black tornadoes in the sky above the Sword Mound seemed to be sentient as they attacked at the same time.
Even if the red-clothed young master could block the ferocious sword Qi, the ten-odd tornadoes of despair, which were nearly solid, would catch him in a pincer attack. Even if he did not die, he would be half-dead.
The red-clothed young master revealed a complicated expression. He had not expected to meet with such a choice the moment he touched the sword hilt and before he had even used any strength.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, the red-clothed young master made his decision. He let go and dodged the sword Qi. His figure flashed, and he found an opening to escape from the surrounding tornadoes.
"Bang!"
Who could have expected the eighteen tornadoes to merge into one and produce a horrifying black shock wave? The red-clothed young master could not dodge in time and was struck by the shock wave.
The red-clothed young master vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying back. He fell into an illusion of despair, his face filled with horror.
The experts of the Five Poison Sect quickly stood up and woke the red-clothed young master from the illusion.
Challenge failed!
Gongshan Yu revealed an expression of having expected this. His lips curled up in a faint smile.
Even with his Soul Transformation Realm cultivation, he could not draw the sword by himself. He did not believe that any of these outstanding talents could do it.
Even a Small Perfection existence like the Blue Robed Emperor would have to think twice before forcefully drawing the sword when facing this chain of attacks.
The difficulty of drawing the sword was very high. The outstanding talents remained silent as they considered this.
Even if they had to pay the price of being severely injured to draw the sword, was it worth it for the source of despair?
If they were injured, it would be troublesome in the heart of the ocean later.
"Let me try!"
The elegant scholar from the Heavenly Province Academy stepped forward and said.
The Five Poison Sect was famous for their poison attacks. Their combat prowess might be very high, and it would not be difficult for them to challenge those of a higher cultivation.
However, in the current situation, they still had to rely on their fundamentals. Unorthodox methods would not be of much use.
The elegant scholar felt that his fundamentals were much stronger than the red-clothed young master's, so he should have a chance.
By paying an extremely small price, he could successfully snatch the sword.
As long as he could scatter the sword of despair, he would still have some energy left. With his movement technique, he would be able to draw the sword and escape.
His movement technique was graceful, and he easily avoided the hurricane that was coming from all directions, landing beside the Sword of Despair.
When the elegant scholar grasped the sword of despair, a similar scene occurred once more.
The scholarly man folded his folding fan. The Righteous Qi in his body was like a vast river, boundless and boundless. The Righteous Qi flowed along the folding fan and turned into a beam of light that clashed with the despairing sword Qi.
Boom!
The two clashed, resulting in a loud explosion that exceeded the elegant scholar's expectations. With fifty percent of his strength, he only managed to scatter most of the sword of despair. The remaining sword of despair continued to fly in his direction.
The elegant scholar frowned and decisively let go of the sword of despair.
He soared into the sky like an eagle, circling three times before soaring a few thousand meters into the sky. Then, he dove down and landed outside the Sword Tomb.
He dodged the shockwave created by the hurricane. Although he failed the challenge, he was not injured at all.
When the hurricane of despair scattered, a few more people came over to try and snatch the sword of despair.
However, when the sword of despair and the hurricane attacked at the same time, they found it hard to block. If they clashed head-on, they would only suffer significant injuries. It was not worth it.
"Big Brother, go and give it a try. With your strength, you can definitely obtain it easily," the Myriad Fiend Island's Mu Qingyun encouraged.
Di Xinhan shook his head and said, "I cannot expose my trump card here. It is not worth it."
The Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter stood on the golden war chariot and looked around, looking like she was searching for someone.
However, after looking around a few times, she did not see the person she was looking for. She could not help revealing a doubtful expression.
The Young Treasure Master, Yi Ling, knew that the Holy Daughter was looking for someone. When he looked around, he also had a strange expression.
How come I do not see that person at such an important occasion? Does he not care about this sword?
Yi Ling did not care about this for now. He collected his thoughts and shook his head. Most importantly, he chose to give up.
The remaining strong people who had not made a move yet — Chu Yang, Leng Shaofan, and Tong Susu — all considered for a while and chose to give up.
Their reason was the same as Di Xinhan's; they did not want to expose their trump cards here.
Gongshan Yu smiled faintly and said in a clear voice, "Everyone here comes from extraordinary backgrounds. I believe you are all people who keep your word. If no one is willing to try, then I can only accept this sword with my two junior brothers. "
Seeing Gongshan Yu's cocky expression, the outstanding talents present all felt upset, feeling extremely depressed.
After being made a fool of in front of everyone, no one would feel good in their heart.
No one said anything; no one came to try.
Gongshan Yu smiled and said, "Since there is no one else, then I will thank the Holy Scions for helping me achieve my goals. I will reluctantly accept this sword."
Just as Gongshan Yu and the other two were about to make a move, a discordant voice rang out.
"Since you are reluctant, then I think it is best if you do not accept it!"
The sudden voice surprised everyone. Who was so bold as to not give face to Immortal Venerate Yun Chen?
Most of the people in the Heavenly Starry Ocean who had the confidence to say such words were already here. Who was this person?
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a person in white robes. The blood on his robes had not dried yet. It seemed like he had just experienced a battle and rushed over before he could rest.
This person had a delicate face and a blue headscarf on his forehead. As he walked over, he had a cold and emotionless expression. Aside from deep and cold eyes, there was no other emotion.
