The sky was blue, and wisps of pure white clouds were drifting in the sky, making it seem even more boundless.
A black shadow slowly floated over from afar, blotting out the sky and emitting a wave of vast and mighty aura.
It was a round flying boat with a radius of ten thousand meters. It was completely black and emitted an ice-cold luster as if it was cast from ten thousand years old cold iron.
When that huge black flying boat flew over a city, a huge shadow shrouded it and a majestic aura filled the air. Everyone in the city was greatly shocked and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"That is …"
At the bottom of that huge black flying boat, there was a huge character.
Martial!
"It's the flying boat of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect."
"This is the Taiyuan Continent. Why would the flying boat of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect appear here with great fanfare?"
The Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect and the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect were both part of the Eight Heavenly Sects of the Blue Waves Continent. Regardless of strength or background, they were on par. Moreover, the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect governed the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect and the Taiyuan Continent bordered each other.
"I know. Tomorrow is the triennial Sect Tournament of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect. The purpose of the flying boat of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect is to watch the tournament."
"Yes, it must be so."
"The Ultimate Sect Tournament of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect. I also want to watch it."
"Me too."
Everyone revealed a yearning expression.
"Stop dreaming. The Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect is not a place you can enter."
For ordinary martial artists, the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect was a high and mighty existence. They could only watch from afar and couldn't approach it. Although it was beautiful and breathtaking, they couldn't touch it.
Only those high-grade Sects were qualified to enter the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect to watch the tournament. As for those low-grade and middle-grade Sects, it was very difficult, unless there was something special about them.
As for rogue cultivators, it was even more difficult, unless they were extremely reputable figures among rogue cultivators. However, they were very rare.
Why did so many people want to watch the tournament?
It was very simple. The disciples of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect had outstanding talent and strength. The battle between them would certainly be very exciting. This was only one aspect. Another aspect was that if they could watch the battle between experts, it would also be very beneficial.
Although they couldn't watch the tournament, they couldn't help but discuss it.
…
"I wonder if there's anyone in the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect worthy of my challenge?" A black-robed young man stood alone on the edge of the flying boat with a cold expression. He looked out through the crystal window and saw the blue sky, white clouds, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
He was talking to himself, but no one could give him an answer.
…
"No wonder it's the number one mountain in the Taiyuan Continent. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here is much richer than in our mountain."
Under the lead of a few elders, a group of young men and women dressed in uniform quickly came from afar. They arrived at Super Yuan Mountain and climbed up the stairs, chatting non-stop along the way.
Wave after wave of people arrived. They were the elders and disciples of the various upper-class sects in the Taiyuan Continent. The elders led the disciples, who were carefully selected and worthy of training, came to watch the battle. On the one hand, they wanted to see the strength of the top disciples of the Taiyuan Heavenly Sect to motivate themselves. On the other hand, they wanted to broaden their knowledge.
"When you're in the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect, behave yourselves. Remember not to clash with the disciples of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect."
The elders clearly explained, and those disciples also understood this point.
That was the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect, the number one overlord of the Taiyuan Continent. It was one of the top forces of the Blue Waves Continent. Even if their Sect joined forces, they still couldn't resist it.
If they had a conflict with the disciples of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect in the territory of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect, they would be killed without a way to redress their grievances. And if they killed the people of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect, the consequences would be even more miserable. It was more likely that the Sect would suffer a disaster.
…
"Junior Brother, tomorrow is the Sect Competition."
In the Lingya Pavilion, Yu Zhengxiao and Chen Zong were separated by a small table. They were sitting cross-legged on a praying mat made of Spirit Calming Silk. There were several exquisite dishes on the small table, as well as a pot of wine and two wine cups filled with amber colored wine.
"Senior Brother's strength has reached the second level, right?" Chen Zong said with a smile.
"Junior Brother has sharp eyes." Yu Zhengxiao didn't deny it. "Although it's a slight improvement, I don't have much certainty to enter the top ten."
There weren't many core disciples in each of the Taiyuan Seven Mountains. There were roughly thirty to forty of them. Altogether, there were less than three hundred.
There weren't many who had reached the first level, but there were still a considerable number of them. There were even fewer who had reached the second level. But in this period of time, there were more than ten.
Therefore, Yu Zhengxiao said that he didn't have much confidence to enter the top ten.
"Junior Brother, I can't see through your depth. But with your strength, you should be able to enter the top three, right?" Yu Zhengxiao said again.
"The top three is no problem." Chen Zong smiled. Of course, his true goal wasn't the top three, but the throne of first place.
After the mission of collecting Blood Spirit Essence Stones, Chen Zong didn't go out again. Instead, he wholeheartedly cultivated and improved himself as much as possible.
With more than thirty-six thousand merit points and the reward of one hundred thousand merit points from the Sect, Chen Zong suddenly had the capital to enter the Wuzhen Realm and Martial Arts Realm at will.
Chen Zong basically went back and forth between the Martial Arts Realm and Wuzhen Realm.
In more than two months, Chen Zong entered the Wuzhen Realm ten times and the Martial Arts Realm ten times.
Entering the Martial Arts Realm more times didn't mean better. After each time, Chen Zong would spend a few days to consolidate his foundation.
A total of twenty times added up to sixty thousand merit points. Chen Zong still had more than seventy-six thousand merit points left in his identity token.
Ten times in the Wuzhen Realm and ten times in the Martial Arts Realm allowed Chen Zong to continuously improve. Coupled with the fact that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Nine-Star level and couldn't go any further, Chen Zong didn't know what level his strength had reached.
The only thing he was certain of was the third level.
But the third level was also divided into strong and weak.
The Sect Tournament might be an excellent opportunity to test his strength.
Thinking about it, Chen Zong was a little excited.
When one's strength reached his level, it was a little awkward. Above him was the Transcendent Realm, which he couldn't resist. Below him, it would be difficult to find an opponent.
This time, Yu Zhengxiao didn't look for Chen Zong to spar. The two drank a little wine and chatted for a while before Yu Zhengxiao took his leave.
Tomorrow was the Sect Tournament, so he needed to be in good condition to greet it.
When the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect's airship arrived, a group of people from the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect walked down from the airship and were received by the people of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect.
The Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect was about as strong as the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect, so the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect didn't neglect them.
As for the people from the High-Rank Sect forces in the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect, of course, there were people in charge of receiving them, but it wasn't as grand.
All of this had nothing to do with Chen Zong.
At night, the Super Yuan Mountain was even more lively than usual, but Chen Zong stayed in the Towering Cliff Pavilion to cultivate. This was also the choice of many disciples of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect, in order to be in a better state to welcome the battle that was about to begin tomorrow.
Sect Tournament!
Once every three years!
The night passed quickly. At dawn, the sun rose slowly into the sky, sprinkling light and warmth across the land.
The Ultimate Seven Mountains suddenly came to life.
All of the official disciples of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect gathered in their respective mountains.
The preparatory disciples didn't have this qualification. They weren't even official disciples, so they could only feel envy.
All of the official disciples gathered at the top of Dark Feather Mountain. Normally, this place was under the jurisdiction of the Elders and Mountain Lords, but it was different today.
As far as the eye could see, there was a black mass of human heads.
The mountain breeze blew past, still carrying the chill from last night, but it couldn't blow away the fire in everyone's hearts.
"Disciples, when the Minor Origin Realm opens, you will enter in order. Remember not to fight for it," an Earth Grade Elder said loudly, his vigorous voice reaching everyone's ears.
"The Minor Origin Realm!" Chen Zong muttered.
The triennial tournament of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect wasn't held in the Ultimate Mountain, but in a small independent space called the Minor Origin Realm. It was said that the Minor Origin Realm was created by the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect's founder and had been passed down since then.
The Minor Origin Realm had extraordinary significance. Each time, it required the strength of seven Profound Sky Realm experts to open. These seven Profound Sky Realm experts were chosen from the Ultimate Seven Mountains.
Profound Sky Realm experts could fly in the air. It seemed to be a kind of instinct.
Seven figures hovered in the air above the Ultimate Mountain, emitting astonishing auras that seemed to compete with the radiant sun in the sky.
Countless gazes stared at them from below.
A group of people stood in a corner of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect. There weren't many of them, only ten in total. The robes they wore clearly didn't belong to the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect.
Their leader was a middle-aged man with a tall body and broad shoulders. He stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a long, form-fitting green robe that made his body seem even more imposing.
His eyes were incomparably deep, like two whirlpools. His entire body emitted an indistinct aura.
The nine young men and women standing behind him also had powerful auras. They had all reached the peak of the ninth star, but their specific strength was unclear.
"The Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect's Minor Origin Realm should be about the same as our Ultimate Martial Heavenly Sect's Combat Martial Realm," one of the young men said.
"It should be," the other young men replied. Only a black-robed young man didn't speak.
At this moment, the bodies of the seven Sky Profound Realm experts that were floating in the air shook. Their incomparably tyrannical auras were like the overflowing waters of the sea, traversing the heavens. Amidst the vast and mighty auras, it was as if a myriad of lightning bolts had descended to the world, striking the air and causing violent winds to howl, blowing in all directions.
The strength of the fierce winds seemed to cause every mountain to sway. The white clouds in the sky fluctuated, like the rolling waves of a long river.
The seven Profound Sky Realm experts waved their arms one after another. Their extremely powerful Profound Sky Realm spirit energy drew in the power of heaven and earth. It gradually turned from formless to tangible, as if it was about to condense into a substance, emitting an extremely frightening pressure.
Soon after, the seven Profound Sky Realm experts stretched their arms forward, as if they were deep in the void. Their five fingers clenched tightly, as if they were holding onto something. Their arms swelled up, and then they pulled back fiercely.
Rumble!
It was as if an invisible mountain was traversing through the void. Their excessively large bodies collided with the air, causing an astonishing sound to burst forth from the friction, causing heaven and earth to tremble.
