Lan Shuang was the disciple of Dao Master Lan Ning. She possessed the bloodline of the Extreme Cold Black Phoenix and was extremely talented. Her potential was not inferior to Hong Feng's. Originally, such a person could have obtained the position of a reserve Path Disciple and participated in the battle for the position of Path Disciple.
However, it was a pity that Lan Shuang's bloodline was damaged due to an accident during her training, and her potential was greatly affected as well. She was not destined to become a Prospective Daoist. Now, she could only assist Yu Nianxin.
However, Lan Shuang was also very talented and had extraordinary potential. Her cultivation base had reached the Perfected Yuan Underworld Stage and her combat strength was tyrannical. She was one of the best in Yu Nianxin's group and ranked first.
If it hadn't been for the instructions of her master, Dao Master Lan Ning, she wouldn't have assisted Yu Nianxin. In her opinion, Yu Nianxin's competitiveness was very weak. Now, when she saw the foreign aid that Yu Nianxin had recruited and found, Lan Shuang's expression turned even colder. She didn't say a word and the aura around her was extremely cold.
She had come to assist Yu Nianxin under the orders of her master. However, she had also harbored some hope that Yu Nianxin could recruit more experts and invite more powerful foreign aid. Now, it seemed like she had been disappointed. Very disappointed.
Lan Shuang could easily sense everyone's cultivation base based on her strong perception. Yu Nianxin was a low-level Yuan Underworld Stage and so was Li Jiayin. As for Wu Qiaoyun, she wasn't bad. She had a high-level Yuan Underworld Stage cultivation base and her combat strength shouldn't be weak. She should be at least a seven-star or even an eight-star.
As for the only foreign aid, his aura was very secretive and she couldn't see through him.
"What's your cultivation base?" Lan Shuang still asked.
"High-level Yuan Underworld Stage," Chen Zong answered truthfully.
"High-level Yuan Underworld Stage." Lan Shuang's eyes flashed with indescribable disappointment. She was really disappointed. If this foreign aid had a cultivation base at the Perfected Yuan Underworld Stage and a combat strength at the 10-star level, perhaps Yu Nianxin would still have a chance.
However, he was only a high-level Yuan Underworld Stage cultivator. No matter how strong he was, how strong could he be? At most, he would be a nine-star.
A Nine-Star Martial Artist would not be of much help in the battle for the position of Path-Chosen.
Lan Shuang didn't say anything else. Since it was her teacher's order, she would follow it. She would do her best, but she had to protect herself first.
As a preparatory Dao Disciple, Yu Nianxin was also the leader of the five-man team. Naturally, he introduced himself to each other.
"Everyone, I know that our side is weak and we don't dare to ask for too much. We can only do our best." Yu Nianxin was also very clear about his own disadvantage. Therefore, he said this.
Other than doing his best, there was nothing else.
…
The Sacred Ice Palace controlled a secret realm, or rather, a ruin. They named it the Sacred Ice Ruins.
The Holy Ice Ruins had also been remodeled by the cultivators of the Holy Ice Palace to reduce the danger and increase the opportunities. It had taken a long time, many, many years. Now, the Holy Ice Ruins had become the site of the Battle of the Great Path.
A huge ice vortex was slowly condensing from an illusory image. It was about to materialize. As it spun, strands of blue and white intertwined. When the blue and white vortex completely materialized, it could enter the Holy Ice Ruins.
Figures with powerful auras appeared around the huge illusory vortex. There were both men and women. On each side, they were the Dao Sovereigns of the Ice Dragon Path and the Ice Phoenix Path.
In addition, there were many Divine Power Realm cultivators of the two paths present.
Figures quickly flew over from afar. In the east, the figures transformed into heavenly dragons. They were accompanied by resounding cries that resounded in all directions. There was an indescribable majesty to them.
In the west, numerous figures of light filled the air and transformed into phoenixes that spread their wings and soared into the sky. Their resounding cries seemed to pierce through the clouds as they shook the heavens and earth. The disciples of the Ice Phoenix Path had rushed over.
Descend!
The disciples of the Ice Dragon Path and the Ice Phoenix Path all descended outside the illusory vortex of the Holy Ice Ruins. They were thousands of meters away, but they didn't feel the suction force of the illusory vortex at all. It was as if the illusory vortex was really just an illusory image that didn't exist. They weren't affected at all.
Descend!
The disciples of the Ice Dragon Path were mainly men, but there were also a few women. The auras of these women were different from those of the Ice Dragon Path. They were the reinforcements that the five preparatory Daoists of the Ice Dragon Path had invited.
The disciples of the Ice Phoenix Path were also mainly women. There weren't many men.
The five preparatory Daoists of the Ice Dragon Path and the five preparatory Daoists of the Ice Phoenix Path spread out respectively.
At a glance, one could see that among the five preparatory Daoists of the Ice Dragon Path, Ao Shengwang's side was the strongest. The limit was ten people.
In the battle for the Daoist position, there could only be ten people at most, including the reinforcements. Therefore, they strived for perfection.
Ao Shengwang's cultivation base was at the advanced level of the Yuanming Realm. The disciples of the Ice Dragon Path assisting him were also at the advanced level of the Yuanming Realm. There were a total of four of them. The remaining three were at the perfected Yuanming Realm, while the last two were external reinforcements. Although they were external reinforcements, they were actually groomed by the Ao Family. Their auras were deep and powerful. They were also at the perfected Yuanming Realm, which was extremely shocking.
In comparison, although the other four preparatory Daoists also had a maximum of ten people, there were very few of them who were at the perfected Yuanming Realm. It was obvious that they weren't competitive at all when compared to Ao Shengwang.
"If there are no accidents, the position of the Ice Dragon Path Daoist will undoubtedly belong to Ao Shengwang." An Ice Dragon Path Dao Venerate nodded.
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Ao Guzun chuckled. He was the strongest person in the Ao Family and also one of the Dao Venerates of the Ice Dragon Path. He was also one of the top three powerful Dao Venerates in the Ice Dragon Path.
Although it sounded a little humble, Ao Guzun's expression seemed to be showing off.
There was no doubt that the position of the Ice Dragon Path Daoist belonged to Ao Shengwang.
Now, it was just a formality. They couldn't just appoint Ao Shengwang as the Ice Dragon Path Daoist, right? That would be breaking the rules of the Ice Saint Palace and would leave a reason for others to criticize.
"I think that the disciple of the Ice Phoenix Path, Hong Feng, has a great chance of becoming the Daoist." The topic shifted to the Ice Phoenix Path. Although the competition for the Ice Dragon Path Daoist had yet to begin, it was almost a foregone conclusion. There was nothing much to say.
"Hong Feng does have an advantage, but I heard that the disciple of the Ice Phoenix Path Daoist is quite good."
"I heard that the Ice Phoenix Dao Venerate has an heir who has awakened the Ice Fire Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline. I wonder who it is?"
Hong Feng's side also had a maximum of ten people, seven women and three men.
The seven women included Hong Feng herself. Five of them were secret disciples of the Ice Phoenix Path and one was external help.
As for the three men, they were external help. Two of them were external help sent by Ao Shengwang, Ao Shisan and Ao Shisi of the Ao Family.
Strong!
Such a lineup might not be as strong as Ao Shengwang's, but it was still very strong and shocking.
Hua Yourong's side also had a maximum of ten people, but she only recruited four disciples of the Ice Phoenix Path. The other five were external help and their cultivation was not low.
As for Yan Zhenchai and Su Yumeng, they also had a maximum of ten people, but in terms of cultivation, they were weaker than Hong Feng and Hua Yourong's lineup.
The weakest lineup was Yu Nianxin's lineup.
Five!
There were only five of them.
"It's not even full. This disciple called Yu Nianxin doesn't take the competition for the Daoist seriously." A Dao Master of the Ice Dragon Path seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
Dao Master Lan Ning was also a little disappointed.
Five!
Including Yu Nianxin herself, there were only five of them in total, which was half the number of the full ten. At least in terms of the number of people, they were far less than the others. So, could they really be competitive?
"Pitiful." Dao Master Red Crane laughed strangely. "They can't even gather all the people. Moreover, one of them is in the Complete Yuan Underworld Realm, two of them are in the advanced Yuan Underworld Realm, and two of them are in the lower Yuan Underworld Realm. Does he think that this is a game for children? It seems that the inheritance of the Ice Phoenix Path Master is not human."
The other Dao Masters did not respond, because Dao Master Red Crane and the Ice Phoenix Path Master had some enmity in the past. In other words, she was in the same generation as the Ice Phoenix Path Master, but she had been suppressed time and time again. She was already very dissatisfied with the Ice Phoenix Path Master.
Dao Master Lan Ning's expression was cold and her eyes were extremely sharp, like a sharp sword piercing through the air. However, she did not say anything, because at this moment, she did not know what to say.
Yu Nianxin, the successor of her Senior Sister, had indeed disappointed her.
Of course, if Dao Master Lan Ning wanted to, she could also imagine the predicament that Yu Nianxin was facing, but that was nothing. It was really nothing in the overall situation. To become a Daoist, one had to be able to do what others could not.
Now, this was just a preliminary test. If he couldn't even do this well, how could he expect to do well in the future?
It was obviously impossible.
Forget it. Since he had already asked Lan Shuang to assist her, he might as well do his best this time. It could also be considered as an explanation to his fallen Senior Sister.
If he couldn't do it, how could he be qualified to be a Daoist?
Only the result mattered. The process was not important under such circumstances.
Ao Shengwang looked at the group of only five people and sneered inwardly. He looked at Chen Zong with an obscure chill in his eyes.
As for Red Phoenix, when she stared at Yu Nianxin and Chen Zong, she did not conceal her anger and murderous intent. She would never forget that she had been defeated and almost killed by the other party's sword. That was a humiliation, a lifelong humiliation.
Now that she had become stronger, she would definitely wash away this humiliation if she had the slightest chance after entering the Sacred Ice Ground.
Chen Zong's expression did not change in the slightest in the face of everyone's mocking gazes. However, the other four could not achieve the same state of mind as Chen Zong.
Yu Nianxin pursed her red lips tightly and did not say a word. She looked very stubborn. Li Jiayin felt a little embarrassed, and Wu Qiaoyun secretly regretted her absolute decision. As for Lan Shuang, her expression had turned even colder. Deep down, she was very annoyed.
It couldn't be helped. Not only was there a disparity in numbers, but the disparity in cultivation base was also very obvious. Among the other four groups, the lowest cultivation base was at the mid-level of the Yuan Underworld Realm. On Yu Nianxin's side, Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin's cultivation bases were only at the low-level of the Yuan Underworld Realm. Furthermore, they had just broken through.
