The Sky River Baptism only happened once a year, and there were only ten spots. Those who could get a spot were all chosen by the five major sects. Their talent was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
It was almost impossible for an ordinary person to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. They might even be stuck at the bottleneck of the Immortal Ancestor Realm forever. But with the help of the Sky River Baptism, they could break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
This was the foundation of the Xuantian and the Heavenly Court.
But Ye Mo, who had defeated Yao Yuzhu and fought for the glory of the Xuantian, didn't make use of the Sky River Baptism to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. This was beyond Lu Jiaolong's expectations.
She couldn't help but suspect that Ye Mo was a member of the Demonic Clan.
When Ye Mo seemed to have exposed Dou Wuwang's identity, she had done some research. She was very suspicious that Ye Mo knew Dou Wuwang's identity in advance. Perhaps Dou Wuwang's appearance was just a cover-up, and Ye Mo was the real Hell Demon Clan member who entered the Xuantian in disguise.
"This kid is most likely a member of the Demonic Clan!"
Lu Jiaolong concluded. She said to the Undefeatable Sword Emperor, "Undefeatable Sword Emperor, among the ten, the one called Ye Mo is most likely a member of the Demonic Clan. Since he dared to sneak into the Xuantian, and even enter the Heavenly Court to enjoy the Sky River Baptism, it seems like he's very confident in his concealment skills!"
"I've heard about this," the Undefeatable Sword Emperor said. "It's said that Dou Wuwang is a Level Six Immeasurable Transformation expert. I'm afraid his true strength is even stronger than a Level Six. Once we start fighting, it'll be very troublesome. After you take them out of the Heavenly Court and confirm their identities, I'll use the Sword Killing Deity Domain to trap him.
The two of us will work together to capture him. "
"Yes!"
Lu Jiaolong nodded as she looked at the ten people coming out of the Sky River.
At that moment, the six people, including Mu Shaobai, Zhou Xuanyi, and Zhou Po, had all successfully broken through to the First Level Immortal Emperor Realm. Their bodies had undergone a qualitative transformation. Their bodies had been tempered by the Tribulation, reaching a level of indestructibility. Saint-grade deity treasures could no longer harm their bodies.
Ouyang Xue was surprised to see that Ye Mo had not broken through. She was even more convinced that there must be a reason why Gray Feather had chosen Ye Mo.
But Ye Mo wasn't too disappointed. Being able to complete the Fate Reversing Diagram this time was already a huge gain for him. Otherwise, no matter how hard he tried, it would have been impossible to complete the Fate Reversing Diagram.
Of course, among the six who had successfully broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, the one who was the most excited was Zhou Po. To him, this baptism of the Heavenly River was a moment that would change his destiny. If he failed to break through, he would be completely abandoned by the sect. If he succeeded, he would become a true disciple and be truly valued by the sect.
"Ye Mo, I can't believe you didn't make a breakthrough.
Zhou Po looked at Ye Mo mockingly and said, "Of the ten of us who joined the five big clans, I was the last one. But I was the first to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, and the first to become a true disciple. No matter how outstanding your performances were, I'll be the one laughing in the end."
"Do you think that you can laugh until the end just because you've become a true disciple?"
Faced with Zhou Po's mockery, Ye Mo couldn't help but reply coldly.
"Indeed, I won't be the one laughing in the end after becoming a true disciple," Zhou Po said. "But I will continue to grow stronger. The gap between us will only grow bigger and bigger. When that time comes, I'll take back all my losses with interest."
A cold light flickered in Zhou Po's eyes. He had already started to plan how to find an opportunity to kill Ye Mo.
The current Ye Mo was like an ant in front of him. Now that he had advanced to the Physical Body Transformation realm, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. He could kill Ye Mo with a single move.
"Is that so?"
Ye Mo sneered but didn't reply.
"Every year, the five big clans will hold a new disciple strength battle," Zhou Po said. "All disciples who have been in the sect for three years and below are allowed to participate. Don't miss it. When I defeat you, I hope you'll still be able to laugh."
Zhou Po sneered. The new disciple strength battle was generally open to all disciples who had been in the sect for three years and below. It was a competition of strength to test the strength of the new disciples.
Moreover, this strength battle was a kind of test for the new disciples. If there were no accidents, all ten of them who had advanced from the Immortal World would participate.
This strength battle was a competition where Zhou Po would completely turn the tables. He would let everyone know that his potential was the strongest.
Moreover, the new disciple strength battle wasn't just a simple arena battle. It was normal for deaths and injuries to occur during the competition.
Ye Mo had heard about this new disciple strength battle. Disciples who had been in the sect for three years could choose to participate or not. Any disciple who was confident in their strength would give it a try.
But those who were able to obtain a ranking were those who had reached the Immortal Emperor Realm within three years of entering the sect.
Even Mu Shaobai was considered a new disciple within three years. He had only entered the sect a year earlier than Ye Mo.
"Alright, since the Heavenly River Baptism is over, let's leave the Heavenly Court!"
Lu Jiaobong said as she led the ten disciples away.
Leaving the Heavenly Court this time was the Invincible Sword Emperor's chance to confirm Ye Mo's identity. Because Lu Jiaobong led the ten disciples out of the Southern Sky Gate, the Profound Sky Origin Mirror immediately confirmed that Ye Mo was indeed a member of the foreign race.
"Sect Leader Lu Jiaobong, this foreign race is indeed Ye Mo."
A thought was transmitted to Lu Jiaobong, causing her to stop immediately. She couldn't help but say to the ten disciples, "I still have some matters to attend to. You guys can leave. Ye Mo, you stay."
"I stay?"
Ye Mo was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Lu Jiaobong already knew about the matter between him and Lu Li?
"Yes!"
The other nine disciples left one after another. Ou Yangxue looked at Ye Mo with a hint of schadenfreude. She had the same thought as Ye Mo – Lu Jiaobong had asked Ye Mo to stay because of Lu Li.
"Sect Leader Lu Jiaobong, may I know why you asked me to stay?"
As soon as Ye Mo spoke, he felt all the pores on his body stand up. Waves of dense killing intent surged toward him from all directions.
"Ye Mo, not good! There's danger!"
The Nether River Patriarch cried out as he came to his senses.
Ye Mo's expression changed. Immediately, he sensed that his surroundings had started to change. Sharp swords appeared from all directions, surrounding him like a cage, wrapping him up.
Every single one of the swords was aimed at Ye Mo. So long as they moved, Ye Mo would be instantly killed.
