After Mingshi Yin finished speaking, he turned to the side and smiled faintly. "Does he have the demeanor of a Sword Devil?"
Duanmu Sheng could not be bothered to look at him. 'Old Fourth always imitates Second Brother. If he's found out, he might get another beating.' It was best not to talk about such matters.
Behind him, King Kong asked in confusion, "Who's the Sword Devil?"
Mingshi Yin said with a smile, "A devil of the sword."
"For Mister Ri to call him the Sword Devil, I'm sure his sword skills are impressive."
"There's nothing to say about his sword skills. He's only slightly inferior to me, "Mingshi Yin said.
"…"
Duanmu Sheng cleared his throat as a reminder.
Mingshi Yin said, "It's not illegal to boast in the Great Void, is it?"
After waiting for a short while, the Daoist child from Nan Li Mountain flew over from afar. He bowed at the others and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. The Divine Lord had planned to receive you personally, but he couldn't split himself. I'll bring you to the Cloud Observation Platform to rest."
Mingshi Yin frowned and said, "Your Divine Lord list is huge."
"Forgive me."
"Forget it. I'm not a petty person. Lead the way." Mingshi Yin and the others flew out of the chariot.
As they flew in the air, they looked at the cloud platforms hovering above Nan Li Mountain from time to time.
These so-called cloud platforms were at least a thousand meters away from each other.
They were naturally formed mountains that were held up by Nan Li Mountain's invisible power and hovered in the air.
They were not inferior to the Golden Lotus Penglai Island. Penglai Island used Formations and chains to connect the five islands. Then, it used Formations to hold up the floating island in the middle. The four islands interacted with each other and connected the Formations. The cloud platforms on Nan Li Mountain were purely mountains that hovered in the air. They were huge and had a unique and quiet atmosphere. Dojo buildings and trees were shrouded in clouds and mist. They were very suitable for cultivation.
When they arrived at the southernmost cloud platform, the Daoist child said, "Everyone, you may move about freely on the southern cloud platform.
"Everyone can walk around freely on the Southern Cloud Observation Platform. The Divine Lord will arrive shortly."
When one looked at their surroundings from the cloud platform, they could mostly see the clouds.
Due to the distance, they could only vaguely see the other cloud platforms. They looked like leaves that were floating in the air.
"You're really admiring the clouds," Mingshi Yin praised.
The four Vajras stood behind him like blocks of wood.
"Mr. Ri, you should prepare for the upcoming Palace Head Battle."
"Oh, right."
Mingshi Yin looked at the Daoist boy and asked, "Is the person from the Mysterious Beauty Temple here?"
The Dao Child was not stupid. If he said that the Divine Lord had gone to receive Emperor Xuan Pin, it would be belittling the Scarlet Emperor. Hence, he smiled and said, "They should be here soon."
Mingshi Yin asked again,
"Do you know Zhang He of the Mysterious Pin Palace?"
The Daoist boy explained in detail, "Palace Head Zhang is a top-notch expert in the Black Pin Realm, and he's also a talent favored by the Imperial Emperor. It is said that Palace Head Zhang comprehended the Grand Dao by observing the clouds. "
Mingshi Yin smiled and said, "Interesting."
"Please help yourselves."
The Daoist child turned around and left.
Mingshi Yin looked at the four vajras and asked, "Is His Majesty the Crimson Emperor not here yet?"
"The Scarlet Emperor will not come to Nanli Mountain."
"He won't come?" Mingshi Yin was slightly surprised. "It seems like His Majesty, the Crimson Emperor, trusts me."
"The Scarlet Emperor said that after the two of you lose, you have to return immediately."
"…"
Meanwhile.
In the dojo in the northern skies of Mount Nanli.
Whether it was in terms of architecture, layout, or specifications, they were all much better.
The South Li Divine Lord welcomed him with a smile on his face.
"What a rare guest. It is my honor to have Imperial Lord Xuan Pin visit my humble abode," said the South Li Divine Lord.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin, Zhang He, and Lu Zhou descended from the sky. Several Dark Armored Guards and female attendants flew over and landed on the dojo.
Emperor Xuan Pin smiled.
"Nanli Divine Lord, it's been years since we last met. When did you become so good at flattering others?"
The South Li Divine Lord only smiled and said to Zhang He, "Hall Head Zhang, nice to meet you."
Zhang He returned the greeting. "Greetings, Southern Li God Sovereign."
"Who's this?" The Southern Li Divine Lord noticed Lu Zhou's extraordinary aura.
"The new captain of the Mysterious Armor Guards, Old Mister Lu," Zhang He introduced. There was no way he could introduce White Emperor's background in such an occasion, and he did not want to either. It was a good opportunity to see how the South Li Immortal Lord would react.
The Southern Li Divine Lord studied Lu Zhou, puzzled. A newbie Dark Armored Guard must be extraordinary for an Imperial Lord to bring him along.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign said with a smile, "I heard that the Xuan Pin Hall recruited a new expert. I believe it must be Captain Lu?"
Although this was a practical way of addressing him, Emperor Xuan Pin felt that it was beneath him.
Emperor Xuan Pin replied, "Yes, Pavilion Master Lu."
"Pavilion Master?"
"Before Pavilion Master Lu reached the Great Void, he was already a pavilion master." Intentionally or unintentionally, Empress Xuan Pin expressed her stance. Not only could she preserve her identity as a "master", but she wouldn't embarrass herself too much.
Southern Li Divine Sovereign cupped his fists and said, "Pavilion Lord Lu, nice to meet you."
Lu Zhou nodded calmly and praised, "Nan Li Mountain is indeed a blessed land of feng shui. It's the best place to cultivate. I didn't expect that after 100,000 years, spring would still be the same. "
"???" Zhang He was puzzled. This was too much of a pretentious act. It was as though he had been here before.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign asked, "Has Pavilion Master Lu been here before?"
Emperor Xuan Pin came to the rescue at the right time. "I've already told Pavilion Master Lu about this."
Zhang He:?
'Really? I've been here as well, and I've never heard you mention Nan Li Mountain. 'Did I get sleepy during the journey?'
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign smiled and said, "I see. Everyone, please."
The others entered the dojo.
A banquet, fine wine, and beautiful women were all present.
Everyone took their seats.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign said, "Nan Li Mountain is honored to host you, Divine Sovereign. Please forgive us if there's anything lacking."
Emperor Xuan Pin did not beat around the bush and said, "I've come to Nan Li Mountain today to visit an old friend and to prepare for the selection of the Hall Master. I had no choice but to choose Nan Li Mountain. "
"That's not a big deal."
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign looked at Zhang He and asked, "Are you confident, Palace Master Zhang?"
Zhang He smiled and said, "You'll have to be capable to take the position of Hall Master from me."
"He's someone close to the Crimson Emperor," the Southern Li Divine Sovereign said.
"Although the Crimson Emperor is powerful, he's someone I respect. However, we have to follow the rules of the Great Void, right? "
"You have a point," the Southern Li Divine Sovereign said with a smile, "Looks like victory is already in your grasp, Palace Master Zhang."
Lu Zhou asked.
"The Crimson Emperor is here?"
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign did not answer his question immediately. Instead, he looked at the Daoist child at the side.
The Daoist child walked up to him, bowed, and said, "The Crimson Emperor isn't here. Only the four vajras and two challengers are here."
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign nodded and said, "As expected, the Crimson Emperor is a busy man."
He emphasized the words' busy man '. It was only natural for him to complain when he was stood up.
Emperor Xuan Pin smiled and said, "I was invited by the Crimson Emperor, but I didn't expect him to not come."
At the end of the day, they were not on the same level. It was as though he was trying to raise his own status.
Zhang He said loudly, "What a shame. My Emperor Lord has become a Grand Emperor."
Upon hearing this, the Southern Li Divine Sovereign appeared shocked. He said, "A Grand Emperor? Congratulations! "
"I was just lucky." The Imperial Lord was in a good mood today. The Crimson Emperor's absence did not affect his mood.
"It's a shame that the Crimson Emperor isn't here." The Southern Li Divine Sovereign raised his wine cup. "Here's to you, Grand Emperor."
How could he not mention the credit of his "teacher" at this time?
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin glanced at the calm Lu Zhou and said in a neutral tone, "It's all thanks to you discussing the Dao with me, Pavilion Master Lu. You've enlightened me. Otherwise, it would've been as difficult as ascending to the heavens to become a Grand Emperor."
Zhang He was increasingly unable to understand the Monarch. Even if they were Emperor Bai's men, there was no need to flatter them like this, right?
The South Li Divine Lord said, "It's no wonder the Great Empyrean Lord would bring Pavilion Master Lu with him. So he really is an enlightened expert!"
Lu Zhou shook his head.
"Him being able to ascend has little to do with this old man. It's just that he's well-prepared."
"Pavilion Master Lu is being humble." The Southern Li Divine Sovereign raised his cup. "Come, let me toast Pavilion Master Lu."
Zhang He immediately raised his cup. "Let me first toast the Divine Lord."
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign said with a smile, "Since Palace Head Zhang has such an expert by his side, why not take this opportunity to learn from him? Come … let us toast Pavilion Master Lu together."
“？？？”
Zhang He was speechless.
I don't want to deal with this anymore. I want to go home!
However, he was the Temple Master. He could not just leave like that. 'Forget it. I'll just pretend that he's the White Emperor …' When he thought about this, he felt more at ease. Everything about the atmosphere and treating Lu Zhou as the White Emperor was right.
After finishing his wine …
Lu Zhou said, "Since the Red Emperor isn't here, where are the other two?"
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign pointed at the cloud platform in the south and said, "They're guests on the cloud observation platform in the south. Are you interested in the Great Void Seeds as well, Pavilion Master Lu? "
Lu Zhou knew that the two Great Void Seeds that the Red Emperor brought away were Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng.
He said, "Since they're guests as well, why don't we invite them over for a chat?"
First, he had to make sure it was the two rascals. Then, he had to act according to the circumstances.
This was the Great Void, not Ninelotus's territory.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Pavilion Master Lu. It's best if we don't meet before the competition for the Temple Master ends."
"The competition for the Temple Master?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
The Imperial Lord explained, "After the earth split 100,000 years ago, the Ten Heavenly Openings propped up the Great Void. To maintain the peace of the Great Void, the Ten Temples recruited the cultivators under the heavens. The Temple Master is the leader of a temple's core force. The Great Void established the competition for the Temple Master once every 1,000 years. Those who are capable will be the Temple Master. This is to provide fresh blood to the Ten Temples. "
Temple Master Zhang said, "We're here today to warm up … Since everyone's so excited, let's not wait any longer."
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign said, "Do you want to try now, Temple Master Zhang?"
"My fists are thirsty." With a flash, Temple Master Zhang left his seat and flew toward the vast plaza between the two cloud platforms.
The plaza was in the form of the Taiji Yinyang Eight Trigrams.
It occupied a vast area.
The surroundings were clearly maintained by Formations.
Clouds swirled in the air, one on the left and the other on the right.
Zhang He appeared in the center of the plaza.
He projected his voice toward the cloud observation platform in the south and said, "I'm Zhang He of the Black Pin Temple.
Lu Zhou interjected.
"What's their cultivation bases like?"
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign said, "They're both Great Void Seeds. They were Sages 100 years ago. I'm afraid they've comprehended the Great Dao and become Dao Saints. "
The Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said, "The Great Void doesn't lack high-grade Birth Charts and resources. It's only natural that they've become Dao Saints."
"That's more like it," Lu Zhou commented casually.
"What?"
"It's nothing. They're just Dao Saints. I'll have to work harder," Lu Zhou said.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign was even more shocked. He had initially thought that Lu Zhou was a Dao Saint. However, based on Lu Zhou's tone, Dao Saints were just 'just'. It was clear that Lu Zhou's cultivation base was not low. He was at least a Great Dao Saint.
The view from the northern dojo was not bad.
It was no wonder they chose Nan Li Mountain. The observation platform and the northern dojo could see down below.
It was also protected by a natural Formation. Indeed, it was the best place to determine who was stronger.
Zhang He stood with his hands on his back. His feet did not touch the ground as he hovered three inches above the ground.
When he saw that there was no movement from the cloud observation platform, he said loudly, "Friends from the Flaming Water Region, please come out for a moment."
"Southern Li Divine Sovereign, Great Imperial Lord, the heavens, earth, sun, and moon shall bear witness."
On the cloud observation platform, amid the swirling clouds.
Suddenly, a spear surrounded by golden radiance shot out. It tore through the clouds and transformed into a meteor as it shot toward Zhang He.
Zhang He's expression did not change as he dealt with the spear calmly. His two fingers moved as he struck the golden spear.
The golden spear stirred up a strong wind as it was split into two by Zhang He's fingers. The tidal wave of energy collided with the two fingers.
"Open!"
He used his fingers to parry a thousand blades.
Zhang He was a powerful cultivator who was famous for fighting bare-handed in the Black Pin Temple.
The golden spear trembled as it was sent flying by the two fingers. It spun in the air and made loud whistling sounds.
A strong wind blew past the mountain, sweeping away thousands of leaves.
