Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tan Fei only came to join in the fun. He had partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion to win a chance to enter the Trial of G.o.ds, but he lost.
While Duan Ling Tian was still looking at Tan Fei, Lang Chun Yuan suddenly said, “Junior brother, those two women over there are staring at you intently. One of them has particularly bright eyes when staring at you.”
Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked in the direction of Lang Chun Yuan’s gaze. He saw a group of people in the distance.
The group consisted of six women. Four of the women flew in front while another two flew at the back.
Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised when he saw the person standing on the left among the four women in front.
!!
‘Tuo Ba Xiu?’
Duan Ling Tian naturally recognized Tuo Ba Xiu, whom he had met in the Seven Mansions Feast. Not only was she the strongest female cultivator in the Seven Mansions Feast, but she was also acknowledged as the strongest female cultivator among the younger generation in the Seven Mansions.
Before coming to the Myriad Laws Academy, Duan Ling Tian heard that Tuo Ba Xiu had joined the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion, one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces like the Myriad Laws Academy.
‘The other five people with her must be from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion as well,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian, who had already arrived at the central square, overheard the conversations in his surroundings.
At this time, the crowd’s attention had s.h.i.+fted to Tuo Ba Xiu and the others from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion.
“They’re from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion! There are six people from the pavilion entering the Trial of G.o.ds this time. Two of them are intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds, two of them are rudimentary Emperors of G.o.ds, and the remaining two are advanced Lords of G.o.ds.”
“Speaking of which, one of them is an old acquaintance of Duan Ling Tian…”
“What do you mean?”
“Most of you don’t know this, but among the four Emperors of G.o.ds from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion, one of them only joined the pavilion not too long ago. Like Duan Ling Tian, she came from the Seven Mansions and partic.i.p.ated in the Seven Mansions Feast. However, unlike Duan Ling Tian, she did not rank in the top three.”
“She didn’t even rank in the top three, but she was recruited to join the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion?!”
“Don’t underestimate those from the Seven Mansions. Moreover, don’t forget what kind of resources the Seven Mansions have. After joining the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion, this female prodigy from the Seven Mansions became a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds in about 100 years! Do you think someone like that is mediocre?”
“She’s a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds? So she broke through the realm of an Emperor of G.o.ds before Duan Ling Tian…”
“That’s not surprising. When Duan Ling Tian partic.i.p.ated in the Seven Mansions Feast, he was only an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds while she was already an advanced Lord of G.o.ds.”
“Put their cultivation bases aside, do you think Duan Ling Tian’s strength is weaker than that of Tuo Ba Xiu now?”
“Hmm, that’s right…”
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised.
‘She’s become a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds so quickly? How fast!’
It seemed like Tuo Ba Xiu made the right choice to join the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion. She broke through and became a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds so quickly, and she was also now one of the most outstanding young disciples in the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion.
After a moment, the six people from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion finally arrived at the central square. Coincidentally, they landed rather close to Duan Ling Tian.
Seeing that Tuo Ba Xiu looked as though she wanted to greet him, Duan Ling Tian smiled slightly and took the initiative to say, “Miss Xiu, I didn’t expect to meet you again in the Myriad Laws Academy. It’s only been about 100 years since we last saw each other, but you’re already a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds. Congratulations.”
Tuo Ba Xiu no longer hesitated once Duan Ling Tian greeted her. She smiled faintly and said, “Thank you. After all this time, you should’ve already become an advanced Lord of G.o.ds, right?”
As soon as Tuo Ba Xiu’s voice fell, many people looked over immediately.
Indeed, about 100 years ago, Duan Ling Tian was just an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds. Now that 100 years had pa.s.sed, he should have broken through and become an advanced Lord of G.o.ds!
When Duan Ling Tian was an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds, his strength was not weaker than most rudimentary Emperors of G.o.ds. If he had broken through and become an advanced Lord of G.o.ds, it would also mean that no rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds was a match for him. Not only that, but he might also be a match for ordinary intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds!
Duan Ling Tian smiled slightly when he heard Tuo Ba Xiu’s question. He said, “I was lucky and managed to break through a while ago. However, my progress is nothing compared to yours, Miss Xiu.”
At this time, before Tuo Ba Xiu could reply, the young woman standing next to her smiled and suddenly said, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t be so modest. Now that you’ve become an advanced Lord of G.o.ds, I’m sure you’ll be able to defeat ordinary intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds, right?”
Duan Ling Tian looked at the young woman, slightly startled.
‘Do I know her? Why is being so friendly?’
Seeing the confusion on Duan Ling Tian’s face, Tuo Ba Xiu quickly said, “Duan Ling Tian, this is my senior sister, Zhang Tian Jiao.”
After Tuo Ba Xiu’s introduction, Duan Ling Tian did not have any reaction, but the people around him broke out in a small commotion.
“Zhang Tian Jiao?!”
“She’s Zhang Tian Jiao?”
“She’s the strongest among the younger generation in the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion! In the past, when she was a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds, she killed an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds!”
“Some people said that once Zhang Tian Jiao becomes an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds, she might possibly be able to kill ordinary rudimentary Supreme G.o.ds!”
“Hey, some time ago, I heard that an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds from the Seven Mansions killed a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d! If someone from the Seven Mansion can do it, Zhang Tian Jiao definitely can do it!”
Duan Ling Tian was surprised when he heard the conversation in his surroundings.
‘She killed an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds when she was a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds?’
It was not easy to kill an opponent who was two realms higher when one was in the realm of an Emperor of G.o.ds. It was very difficult even for a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds to kill the weakest advanced Emperor of G.o.ds.
For Zhang Tian Jiao to do so, she must have been very confident. Her confidence likely came from the fact that she had many resources.
With this knowledge, Duan Ling Tian’s gaze changed when he looked at Zhang Tian Jiao. He said, “So you’re Senior Sister Zhang. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s unconvincing and perfunctory words, Zhang Tian Jiao burst out laughing. Then, she said, “I’m afraid you’ve never even heard of me until today, right? Isn’t it a little insincere to say you’ve heard a lot about me?”
Faced with Zhang Tian Jiao’s blunt words, Duan Ling Tian naturally felt a little embarra.s.sed. He did not expect the top young prodigy from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion to expose him so directly. After all, most people would know his words were just perfunctory, and almost no one would point it out. Her reaction was unexpected and caught him off guard.
In the end, Tuo Ba Xiu spoke up to clear the awkward air. She said, “Senior sister, how do you know he hasn’t heard of you? Many people in the Profound Energy Land have heard of you, after all.”
Tuo Ba Xiu’s words were not false.
Zhang Tian Jiao was indeed famous in the Profound Energy Land. It was only natural since she was the strongest young prodigy in the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion, a heavyweight supreme-rank force. Moreover, she killed an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds when she was just a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds. This feat caused quite a stir when it spread in the Profound Energy Land.
Naturally, those who were in the know were mostly from supreme-rank forces. Some people from emperor-rank forces had also heard about it, but they did not pay much attention to it.
It was not surprising that Duan Ling Tian, who had just joined the Myriad Laws Academy and rarely communicated with people, had never heard about Zhang Tian Jiao.
At this time, a loud voice that seemed to be getting closer and closer rang from the distance.
“Is everyone here?”
Soon enough, an old man dressed in a loose robe that was similar to a Taoist robe appeared in the sky. His face was ruddy and his eyes were bright; he looked very kind. As soon as he arrived, many of the students greeted him.
“Greetings, Academy Master Yun!”
With this, Duan Ling Tian knew that the old man must be one of the four Vice Academy Masters of the Myriad Laws Academy.
The Myriad Laws Academy had four Vice Academy Masters. Among the four, two were from the Legacy faction. As for the other two, one was Yang Yu Chen, and the other was the old man who was just arrived.
The old man was from the Student faction.
The positions of Vice Academy Master had always been divided like that. Two would be from the Legacy faction while the other two would be from the Inner Palace faction and the Student faction.
Compared to the low-key Inner Palace faction and the strict Legacy faction, the Student faction was much more casual. It was due to this reason that the Vice Academy Master from the Student faction was usually the one the students were most familiar with. He would also usually preside over major events in the academy.
Previously, when the three teachers, who were threatened by the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, died, he was the one who had dealt with the matter. Moreover, the three teachers, who died in vain, were also from the Student faction.
Duan Ling Tian heard from Yang Yu Chen that the old man had to leave the Myriad Laws Academy for quite a while to deal with this matter.
At that time, many bases of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were destroyed, and the congregation suffered heavy losses. It was said that the congregation dispatched two Supreme G.o.ds, in the end, to investigate the matter, but they were unable to track down the culprit.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the kind old man and thought to himself, ‘He’s also rather ruthless…’
It was hard to imagine the old man had such a side to him based on his appearance alone.
As the saying went, ‘Still waters run deep’.
After counting the number of people, the old man, Yun Meng Shan, said, “Since everyone’s here, I’ll send you to the Trial of G.o.ds.”
Following that, Yun Meng Shen threw a square Formation compa.s.s, which was different from normal Formation compa.s.ses, out. The compa.s.s flashed with colorful lights before a huge beam of light shot out, covering the 100 students standing in the middle of the central square.
As for the onlookers standing nearby, they were all pushed back by airwaves.
After a void appeared, everyone watched as the 100 students vanished.
From the beginning to the end, Yun Meng Shang was very efficient. He did not say any unnecessary words and sent the top prodigies into the Trial of G.o.ds immediately.
