n

n

nThe moon had set, and the sun was rising.

n

nA new day had dawned.

n

nThe day of the sect tournament finally arrived.

n

nThis tournament was a big event for the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nMany inner sect disciples, elders, and Peak Masters personally rushed over to watch.

n

nEven the elusive current Empyrean Sect Master, Ouyang Tianming, appeared in front of the disciples.

n

nIn the arena square of the Eighth and Seventh Summits.

n

nAt this moment, they were filled with tens of thousands of disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nAmong these people, only a few could enter the top 10 and become core disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nThe disciples in the top 100 could only obtain medicinal pills as rewards.

n

nFor this tournament, everyone was working hard.

n

nThey were trying very hard to enter the top 10.

n

nShen Ran brought his maidservant, Shen Yueshuang, and the two of them stood in the domain of the Eighth Summit.

n

nHe watched the crowd in silence.

n

nThere were very few disciples who could reach the Illumination Realm.

n

nHe could not rule out the possibility that someone was deliberately hiding their cultivation.

n

nShen Ran did not underestimate anyone.

n

nAs he scanned the area, system narratives appeared in his vision.

n

nThis is a disciple with ordinary talent…

n

nThis is a disciple with good talent…

n

n…

n

nAmong the tens of thousands of disciples, Shen Ran did not see many who had opportunities.

n

nHe saw a few old acquaintances.

n

nWan Qingqing from the Ninth Summit greeted him with a smile.

n

n“Brother Shen Ran, you can do it!”

n

nHearing the other party’s divine sense transmission, Shen Ran nodded at her.

n

n“Qingqing, you can do it too!”

n

nBesides Wan Qingqing, this old acquaintance, Shen Ran also saw Lin Mei.

n

nAt this moment, she was standing in the domain of the Third Summit.

n

nSeeing Shen Ran’s gaze, Lin Mei smiled.

n

nAfter looking away from this woman, Shen Ran’s gaze landed on the Second Summit.

n

nThere were three people here who were surrounded by the disciples.

n

nOne of them was Wang Qingxuan!

n

nWhen he saw Shen Ran’s gaze, he sneered in disdain, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

n

nShen Ran smiled coldly and looked to the side of Wang Qingxuan.

n

nThere were two Illumination Realm cultivators!

n

nOne of them was a Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect!

n

nHe was the young man in black robes, about 20 years old.

n

nThe other person was even younger, only in his teens!

n

nHe was handsome and had delicate features. He was holding a novel in his hand and reading it with relish.

n

nHe looked like a harmless scholar.

n

nAre these the other two Dao Seeds, Ji Qinglin, who is rumored to be the reincarnation of an ancient mighty figure? Is the other one Meng Ling, the other descendant of the Emperor bloodline?

n

nThe cultivation fluctuations emitted by these two people were much stronger than Wang Qingxuan’s.

n

nShen Ran looked away and turned his eyes to the elders’ platform.

n

nThere were also many people he was familiar with on the elder platform.

n

nLuo Qifeng was sitting meditatively in a chair with his eyes closed.

n

nThe Ninth Summit’s Peak Leader, Wan Ziling, was talking to a female cultivator.

n

nWang Li, the Peak Master who had earlier intended to recruit Shen Ran into the Fifth Summit, smiled and nodded at Shen Ran when he sensed his gaze.

n

nJust as Shen Ran was looking around, Chen Beixuan, who was dressed in green, looked over from the Sixth Summit.

n

nHe used a secret technique to check Shen Ran’s cultivation.

n

nHowever, no matter how he investigated, there was no response as Shen Ran gave him an unfathomable feeling!

n

nSo strong!

n

nI’m afraid this kid has already broken through to the Illumination Realm…

n

nThinking that his opportunity had been intercepted by Shen Ran, Chen Beixuan felt a killing intent in his heart.

n

nThis killing intent disappeared as quickly as it had come.

n

nI’m only at the sixth level of the Divine Sea Realm now. I can’t do anything to this person.

n

nChen Beixuan had also heard that Shen Ran had killed Shangguan You, Wang Qingxuan’s trusted aide.

n

nEven Shangguan You, whose strength was comparable to the Illumination Realm, was not his match.

n

nIt would probably be difficult for him as he was only at the sixth level of the Divine Sea Realm now.

n

nTherefore, he could only hide his killing intent.

n

n“Let’s see how long you can keep jumping around after offending Wang Qingxuan!”

n

nAs a reborn person, Chen Beixuan also knew that Wang Qingxuan was a spy from the Demon Sect!

n

nNot only was he powerful, but he also had the help of the other Demon Cult members in the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nThese included even Marquis Realm and Emperor Realm elders!

n

nIt could be seen how powerful his influence was!

n

nIt was also because of this that Chen Beixuan did not tell the sect this news immediately after his rebirth.

n

nHe did not believe that Shen Ran had the ability to survive Wang Qingxuan.

n

nAfter all, the other party was a ruthless person who would definitely take revenge!

n

nIn his previous life, the Empyrean Sword Sect had been destroyed by the Demon Cult, and Chen Beixuan had called Wang Qingxuan out for being a traitor of the Demon Cult. Since then, Chen Beixuan was hunted down by his subordinates for several years.

n

nEven when he subsequently broke through to the True Emperor Realm, Wang Qingxuan had harassed him!

n

nChen Beixuan looked away coldly and muttered, “It’s a pity about those opportunities…”

n

n…

n

nA while later, after an elder finished reading the rules, the sect tournament officially began.

n

n“Thud!”

n

nA huge bell chimed and resonated throughout the Empyrean Sword Sect!

n

nAs the bell rang, a huge ring descended from the sky.

n

nThis was a ring created by the Emperor Realm elder of the Empyrean Sword Sect with a great divine power.

n

nWhen the competing disciples entered the ring, they would not interfere with the outside at all even if there were strong cultivation fluctuations!

n

nThis allowed all the disciples to unleash their talents without being restrained.

n

nSoon the disciples were called and they entered the ring to compete.

n

nIn the crowd, Shen Ran was silently watching.

n

nThe two people in the ring were both at the fourth level of the Divine Sea Realm. They fought evenly.

n

nIt was very lively.
