Chapter 207: This is the Grand Competition of the Era

Xiao Yang finally entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

In his previous life, the moment he stepped into this place left him absolutely stunned.

They appeared on a huge celestial platform floating in the sky.

The moment they entered the Immortal Domain, the scenery before their eyes changed drastically, as if they had stepped from the mundane world into an entirely different realm.

All around, clouds and mists swirled, devoid of earthly smoke. The spiritual energy was pure to the utmost, permeating the air.

The mountains below were endless, and each peak radiated a soft spiritual glow.

Here, every spot was a paradise for training, a sacred place to cultivate.

And in the sky, seven celestial mountains floated above.

These seven mountains hung in the sky like the Big Dipper constellation.

Each mountain was surrounded by celestial light, dotted with fairy palaces.

On the northern celestial mountain, secrets of heaven-shaking martial cultivation lay hidden.

Whoever claimed victory in the Grand Competition would ascend this mountain and have a chance to inherit the supreme martial legacy.

At this moment, everyone except Xiao Yang was completely dumbfounded by the breathtaking scene.

They had never dreamed of witnessing such a sight.

Occasionally, spirit beasts soared through the air, their plumage brilliant, their forms unusual. Each call they made resonated with the rhythms of heaven and earth, refreshing all who heard it.

Indeed, this celestial atmosphere was extraordinary.

At this time, people were continuously emerging from the orb of celestial light at the center of the platform.

“Senior Brother…”

At this moment, Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan approached.

Xiao Yang looked over and saw the disciples of Qingyang Sword Sect sitting cross-legged in a corner of the celestial platform under Jiang Qitian’s lead.

The Heavenly Medical Sect, Divine Sword Manor, Refining Sect, Guiyuan Martial Sect, and other top ten sects also occupied spots on the platform, sitting on the ground.

They were all waiting.

Qin Fei and Jiang Ting sat behind Jiang Qitian.

Qin Fei shot a cold glance at Xiao Yang.

Jiang Ting’s expression toward Xiao Yang was somewhat complicated.

Xiao Yang didn’t approach.

He turned to look towards the front of the platform, and a few hundred miles away stood a snow-white tower reaching towards the sky, its peak reflecting dazzling light, making it hard to look at directly.

That was the Yuanwu Tower.

At the top of the Yuanwu Tower, there was a celestial ascension order.

The spot reflecting the blinding light was where the ascension order was placed.

Pass through the Nine Heavy Barriers and reach the Yuanwu Tower to obtain the ascension order, and one could ascend to immortality.

Of course, whoever possessed the ascension order would be the winner of the Grand Competition.

This was the Grand Competition of the Era.

But at this moment, there was no ascension order on the Yuanwu Tower.

The ascension order was still in the hands of Fuyiao Sword Sect.

Only when Fuyiao Sword Sect returned the ascension order would the true Grand Competition begin.

No one from Fuyiao Sword Sect had arrived yet, so everyone could only sit tight on the celestial platform and wait.

“Senior Brother, this place is simply a fairyland!”

Lin Wangchuan looked at the wondrous scene with immense curiosity.

“Yeah, you could say it’s a paradise on earth.”

Xiao Yang nodded.

This was the number one sacred cultivation site in the northern borders.

Fuyiao Sword Sect had trained countless talented disciples here, utilizing its rich resources.

The outstanding disciples of the other nine sects combined probably wouldn’t even match the talents of Fuyiao Sword Sect.

This is why for a thousand years, Fuyiao Sword Sect has remained the premier sect in the northern borders.

In a place like this, even if you threw a pig in, it would surely gain enlightenment in a few decades.

Li Xingyao was a perfect example.

In this second life, not only would I obtain the ascension order but I would also plunder this place clean.

A smile crept onto Xiao Yang’s lips as he envisioned countless resources beckoning to him.

After this battle, he could finally sever ties with Qingyang Sword Sect.

At this moment, he was not excited or elated; his heart was, in fact, unexpectedly calm.

Having lived again, he had long since viewed life and death with indifference.

Now, he had only one objective: to win the championship in the Grand Competition and then leave Qingyang Sword Sect, severing all relations with Xiao Yang.

From then on, he would be free.

From then on, he would be unbound.

Younger sister?

Qin Fei?

And my parents and siblings?

You guys can have fun on your own!

“Senior Brother is indeed unshakeable!”

Song Qiang admired.

He had been amazed by the sight when he first entered.

This truly was like a place where legends say immortals reside.

Just then, more people emerged from the celestial light in the center of the platform.

The disciples of Dan Ding Sect had arrived.

The leader, Daoist Tai Xuan, brought his disciples out into the celestial light.

Xiao Yang’s gaze landed on the young man behind Daoist Tai Xuan.

This person was tall and graceful, exuding an extraordinary aura; he was Lu Lingxiao, the Holy Son of Dan Ding Sect.

Lu Lingxiao was the strongest descendant Dan Ding Sect had cultivated in nearly sixty years.

Xiao Yang couldn’t see through him at all.

This kid was wrapped in spiritual treasures hiding his aura.

However, Xiao Yang had battled Lu Lingxiao in his previous life.

He knew the cultivation battle power of everyone present like the back of his hand.

Of course, events from his past life had changed.

Li Xingyao from Fuyiao Sword Sect was already much stronger than in the previous life.

This was a variable.

But Xiao Yang didn’t care.

If Li Xingyao’s power had significantly increased, then so had Xiao Yang’s cultivation and power compared to his previous life!

“Where are the people from Fuyiao Sword Sect?”

Chuqing North, the sect leader of Guiyuan Martial Sect, said impatiently.

However, just as he finished speaking, a group of people emerged from the celestial light at the center of the platform.

The leader, dressed in white with long flowing hair, a veil covering her face, stood tall like a celestial, exuding an otherworldly grace.

She was the mysterious sword mistress of Fuyiao Sword Sect, Li Fuyiao.

Following Li Fuyiao were Li Xingyao and ten veiled female disciples from Fuyiao Sword Sect.

“Fuyiao’s sword rises to the heavens!”

Xiao Yang said calmly as he watched Li Fuyiao.

Li Fuyiao cast a glance at Xiao Yang and then stepped forward.

“Li Sword Mistress, can we start now?”

Chuqing North rose from the ground, addressing her.

All nine seated figures stood up.

Jiang Qitian of Qingyang Sword Sect, Chuqing North of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Daoist Tai Xuan of Dan Ding Sect, Ye Longsheng of Beast Control Manor, Wang Ao of Refining Sect, Luo Feixian of Heavenly Medical Sect, Qingfeng Daoist of Supreme Dao Sect, Yundingtian of Shifang Qimen, and Lü Daocheng of Divine Sword Manor.

All nine looked towards Li Fuyiao.

Disciples of the nine great powers stood behind the nine bigwigs of the northern borders.

Li Fuyiao glanced at the nine of them and then flipped her right hand, revealing a bronze token.

Everyone was surprised; the legendary ascension order was merely a bronze token?

At this moment, the ascension order in Li Fuyiao’s hand began to tremble.

In the next instant, the token flew from her hand, transforming into a beam of celestial light and shot out from the platform.

Everyone was taken aback.

Nie Ruhua from Heguan Sect came to Xiao Yang’s side.

Hua Mengli from Carefree Palace also brought a group of disciples to Xiao Yang’s side.

Seeing this, Jiang Ting couldn’t help but look displeased.

Qin Fei, on the other hand, watched coldly, a smirk creeping onto his face.

He aimed to sow discord between Xiao Yang and Jiang Ting.

Now, he didn’t even need to stir the pot anymore.

He never expected Xiao Yang could charm those beauties from Carefree Palace and Heguan Sect.

Clearly, Jiang Ting was showing signs of jealousy.

But so what?

Xiao Yang would not concern himself with Jiang Ting’s feelings.

After all, she had never cared about his feelings.

He no longer liked Jiang Ting; whether she was jealous or not was none of his business.

From the moment he was reborn, he was no longer Jiang Ting’s devoted fan.

Li Fan Yin, Li Xingyao, Ning Shu, and the others also turned to look at Xiao Yang.

This infuriated Qin Fei.

All of them were goddesses!

Why was Xiao Yang able to attract the attention of these girls? What gave him the right?

Qin Fei was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

But when he thought of how Xiao Yang had turned him into a eunuch, he wished he could rip Xiao Yang apart.

Xiao Yang robbed him of his pleasure as a man.

Xiao Yang, Senior Brother, I, Qin Fei, won’t rest until I dispose of you.

Qin Fei glared at Xiao Yang with a cold, vengeful gaze.

Xiao Yang merely chuckled dismissively.

Qin Fei would surely pull something during the Grand Competition.

But so what?

This time around, he wouldn’t be fooled by Qin Fei again.

At this moment, a brilliant beam of celestial light erupted from the peak of Yuanwu Tower in the distance.

People seemed to hear faint sounds of heavenly music in their ears.

“Boom!”

With Yuanwu Tower at its center, the surrounding area reverberated.

The clouds shrouding the area dissipated immediately.

The Nine Heavy Barriers appeared before everyone’s eyes.

At this point, the celestial platform began to descend.

Soon, it landed gracefully on a mountain ridge before the Nine Heavy Barriers.

The Grand Competition had finally begun in earnest.

“Go forth! Whoever can pass through the Nine Heavy Barriers and seize the ascension order will become the master here and rule the Yuanwu Immortal Domain for sixty years.”

Li Fuyiao’s celestial voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

“Let’s go!”

Xiao Yang said, stepping off the platform and striding toward the first barrier.

“Senior Brother, wait for me…”

Lin Wangchuan chased after him.

Song Qiang followed suit.

Jiang Ting, Lei Renjie, and Li Yunhu exchanged glances.

“Aren’t you going to follow your Senior Brother?”

Jiang Qitian said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Lei Renjie and the others quickly took off after them.

A cold smile spread across Qin Fei’s face.

Xiao Yang walked step by step toward the first barrier.

The ground beneath him was covered with unknown exotic flowers and herbs; everything in sight was a spiritual item.

Xiao Yang took a deep breath of the air in this Immortal Domain, feeling his vitality surge as if resonating with the land.

In this moment, his mind was incredibly calm; all worries and distractions faded away.

At this time, the other sect members also dashed out from the celestial platform, rushing eagerly toward the first barrier.

Xiao Yang quickly arrived at the entrance.

He didn’t hesitate; he walked straight in.

No one hesitated either, following closely behind him.

“What is this…”

As everyone stepped inside, they were utterly astonished by the sight before them.

Xiao Yang finally entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.
