1173 Itinerant Cultivator Ye Qingyang Partic.i.p.ates In The Challenger League!
Sheng Xiao stopped talking.
He agreed with Yu Huang’s a.n.a.lysis.
Yu Huang pondered over it and said, “Although it’s asleep, its thoughts have always been active. It carefully chose a group of talented demon beasts and people. First, it let them obtain the power of the Divine Master, then it gave them spatial seeds so that they could work for it with grat.i.tude and reverence.”
“Beast Tamers expand their territory and cultivate ecosystems in their spatial seeds. In an independent s.p.a.ce with a complete ecosystem, countless living beings will be born. Wherever there are living beings, there will be the power of faith. Holy Spirit Goldfeather depended on the Holy Spirit Continent’s power of faith to survive. In the same way, it also needs to rely on absorbing the power of faith to obtain immortality!”
!!
After hearing Yu Huang’s words, Sheng Xiao still didn’t understand. He asked, “Then, why did it kill Senior Jing Lan and Senior Kunlun? Just because Senior Jing Lan broke free from its control and created an independent s.p.a.ce, it decided to kill all the Divine Masters because it was afraid that its conspiracy would be exposed?”
This was too far-fetched.
Therefore, Sheng Xiao didn’t completely agree with Yu Huang.
“Why?” Yu Huang sneered and said, “What it needs is the power of faith, not a group of slaves who s.n.a.t.c.h the power of faith from it! The Creator created the world, so the people living in that world are filled with faith in the Creator. The Divine Masters were created by the Creator, but when the Divine Masters also obtain the power of faith from the public, what can the Creator obtain?”
“Senior Jing Lan created her own independent s.p.a.ce, so she’s considered a rebel. The Creator was afraid that Senior Jing Lan would discover its secret, afraid that the Divine Masters would rebel, and afraid that all his previous efforts would be in vain if he lost the power of faith. If he secretly killed the Divine Masters, wouldn’t the power of faith all be his?”
Sheng Xiao widened his eyes.
“…”
He was so shocked that he was speechless.
When Yu Huang saw Sheng Xiao’s loss of composure, she marveled with admiration and fear. “To be able to set up such a shocking conspiracy, the Creator is really cunning. It’s a sly lunatic who’s good at pretending!”
Upon hearing Yu Huang’s praise of ‘it’, Xiao looked at Yu Huang with a mixed expression and lamented, “To be able to accurately guess its scheme, it can be seen that you’re also a lunatic.”
Only a lunatic could guess the intentions of a lunatic.
“Thank you for your praise.” Yu Huang wasn’t angry at all.
After a moment of silence, Yu Huang continued, “Among the 3,006 spatial seeds, there are still six that haven’t found their master. Yu Aofeng was the new target the Creator had its eyes on. However, the Creator didn’t expect that Yu Aofeng was a hopeless romantic. He actually took the initiative to give up on becoming a Divine Master and wasted its spatial seed. My guess is that Yu Aofeng is still being suppressed at the foot of the Soul Formation Mountain and tortured by the lightning, not because of the marriage compact, but because he angered the Creator!”
Sheng Xiao was enlightened by her words.
Sheng Xiao said, “In that case, the Creator might be why I can’t recover my memories after Jing Huang revived. It doesn’t want me to know its secret.”
“That’s right!” Yu Huang snapped her fingers and said, “Now, I feel that everyone who has obtained the power of the Divine Master is a qualified seed in his eyes. Be it Prime Master Fu Tian, who had comprehended the power of the Divine Master back then, or you and me.”
“But then again, aren’t you and I, who comprehended the power of the Divine Master but were bold enough to create an independent s.p.a.ce, rebels like Senior Jing Lan?” As she spoke, Yu Huang gave Sheng Xiao a strange smile that sent a chill down Sheng Xiao’s spine.
“Brother Xiao, do you believe it?” Yu Huang asked.
Sheng Xiao asked warily, “Believe what?”
Yu Huang said, “Once it finds out our secret, it will be furious. Perhaps it will appear beside us personally and wait for an opportunity to kill us.” She licked her rosy lips and blinked at Sheng Xiao as she said, “Let’s make a bet, Brother Xiao.”
Sheng Xiao asked her, “What are we betting on?”
“Let’s bet on which of the people around us it will disguise as!”
Sheng Xiao’s heart skipped a beat and his expression darkened. “Do you know what you’re saying?” Sheng Xiao leaned closer to Yu Huang. Then, he stared into her eyes and said in a low voice, “You’re suspecting the people around us.”
Yu Huang smiled mysteriously and said, “Brother Xiao, the only people who can hurt us are the people around us.”
Sheng Xiao was speechless.
The only people who could hurt them were indeed the people around them.
“You’re right. We should indeed be wary of anyone around us who behaves abnormally.”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. I have to refine these skeletons quickly. I hope I can make it back to Cang Lang City before the end of this compet.i.tion.”
“You’re right.”
Yu Huang pieced the phoenix skeleton back into its original form, then summoned Xuan Yu and fused it with the phoenix skeleton. Then, Xuan Yu spread its wings and pounced at the phoenix skeleton on the ground. As soon as the two touched each other, Xuan Yu’s painful cry sounded in the dungeon.
Yu Huang was in as much pain as Xuan Yu was.
Yu Huang immediately fell to the ground in pain. Her body was tortured by the pain to the point of distortion.
The pain of fusing with the Divine Master skeleton was far more intense than when refining the heart blood.
If she wanted to be reborn from the ashes, she had to withstand the burning flames. Yu Huang could only bear the pain. As Sheng Xiao stood at the side anxiously, he could only watch…

Cang Lang City.
The intercontinental finals had been held for twenty days now.
In this intercontinental finals, a total of 3,000 partic.i.p.ants stood out from the various continents’ screening compet.i.tions. Another 1,900 partic.i.p.ants were inner sect disciples recommended by the top 10 super sects to partic.i.p.ate. Among them, the War G.o.d Clan occupied nearly a quarter of the spots, which was 500 people.
The other 100 spots were reserved for the itinerant cultivators who were going to partic.i.p.ate in the screening test.
Most of the itinerant cultivators who obtained the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate through the screening test were itinerant cultivators who had bad reputations and were despised by the various large sects and families on the various continents, as well as ascenders from small worlds.
There were a total of five thousand people partic.i.p.ating in the intercontinental finals. These five thousand people could all enter the top ten Beast Tamer Academies of Cang Lang Continent to further their studies.
The reason the intercontinental finals were held was to cla.s.sify the 5,000 partic.i.p.ants.
Those in the top 1,000 would have a high chance of being accepted into the Cang Lang Continent’s academies.
Everyone was competing for the top 1,000 spots.
Currently, the partic.i.p.ant who obtained first place in this intercontinental finals was Jing Jiaren, an ascendant from the Divination Continent. She was at the peak of the late-stage Grand Master realm. The partic.i.p.ant who obtained second place was the princess of the War G.o.d Clan, Zhan Jianxue, an early-stage Grand Master.
The personal disciple of Prime Emperor Dongshen, Dongshen Hanyu, was ranked 286th. However, with his results, he was a shoo-in for the inner sect of the Cang Lang Continent.
Among Feng Yuncheng and the others, other than Yin Rong, who was ranked 3,100th, the others were all ranked around 2,000th.
In the last few days of the compet.i.tion, there was tension in the atmosphere. This tension wasn’t only from nervousness because the compet.i.tion was about to end, but also because…
Ga—
Ga—
A terrifying crow cry suddenly sounded from the distant sky.
“He’s here!”
“He’s really here!”
After someone shouted, all the partic.i.p.ants at the compet.i.tion venue raised their heads and looked at the distant sky in fear and fear.
The sun was about to set.
The dark crow pa.s.sed through the mountains and flew over quickly.
As they quacked, their terrifying cries made one’s bones go numb and their hair stand on end. This scene made it seem as if a demon had descended to the human world. Everyone held their breaths in apprehension.
The crows instantly appeared in the arena of the intercontinental finals. Then, they gathered together and transformed into the figure of a man—
It was a young man in a long black coat. The young man had a red belt around his waist and a white sword in his belt. The hat concealed the young man’s hair, while his black hair covered half of his eyelashes.
There was no vitality in his slightly lowered eyes.
He gave off a gloomy vibe.
Seeing this young man who suddenly appeared, everyone at the compet.i.tion venue fell silent.
Jing Jiaren, who was sitting in the crowd, suddenly looked up at the sky. She saw the young man pull out the bone-white sword at his waist and his cold voice echoed throughout the entire venue—
“Itinerant cultivator Ye Qingyang is here to partic.i.p.ate in the challenge!” He pointed his sword at the delegation of the various academies and asked coldly, “Who is willing to fight me?!”
