Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, had forgotten about the protective measure that the Celestial Lord had put in place to protect the anonymity of the participants. The scores of the participants would not be updated in real-time on the scoreboard. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s points from killing Dongfan Jin Lun were not reflected in his points on the scoreboard. Otherwise, he would have taken the first place.

Some of the Emperors from grade-eight Celestial Kingdoms in the Thousand Nations knew Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun represented the Supporting Fall Nation and the East Ming Nation respectively. They looked at the Emperors of the Supporting Fall Nation and the East Ming Nation in envy.

“The Supporting Fall Nation and the East Ming Nation are truly lucky to have found such talented sectless cultivators…”

Meanwhile, the people from the Three Sects and Two Clans were also discussing among themselves.

“The two participants ranked second and third respectively, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun, seem to be younger than 100 years old,” the representative leader from the Zhangsun Clan, Zhangsun Xiong Qi, looked at the second and third name on the scoreboard and said, “I heard they’re sectless cultivators found by grade-eight Celestial Kingdoms from the Thousand Nations Territory.”

“Although Ling Jue Yun has comprehended the law of death, the fact that he made it this far proves that he has, at least, comprehended two profundities from the law of death!” Gongyang Yu, the representative leader from the Gongyang Clan, said confidently.

Heng Chan, the Hall Master from Arhat Hall in the Cloud Platform Sect, said, “Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian aren’t even 100 years old… Following your line of thought, Duan Ling Tian must have also comprehended two profundities from a law.”

“Both of them are monstrously talented… Don’t forget about Murong Xiao Xiao. She’s the most talented person to appear in the Murong Clan, a grade-seven clan, in the last 10,000 years. Moreover, she’s a female!” Zhang Guang Zheng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial, said. Then, he looked at Heng Chan and added, “Heng Chan, since Murong Xiao Xiao is a woman, it seems like the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect wouldn’t be able to recruit her.”

Heng Chan only scoffed in response. Indeed, the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect only accepted male disciples. Since Murong Xiao Xiao was a woman, she would not be able to join the sect regardless of how talented she was. For this reason, his eyes shone brightly when he looked at Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun’s name on the scoreboard. Even if they were slightly weaker than Murong Xiao Xiao, there was no doubt the duo was much more talented than her. After all, the two men were less than 100 years old while she was already almost 200 years old.

Bihai Mingfeng, the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect, was the only representative from the Three Sects and Two Clans who did not speak. However, his eyes were firmly trained on the top three names.

…

In the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Duan Ling Tian and the others had been brought into a seemingly bottom abyss by a mysterious energy that disappeared as soon as they arrived at their final destination.

“This place…” Duan Ling Tian saw blocks of stones hovering at the different heights in the abyss. The higher it was, the fewer stone blocks there were. The size of the blocks of stones was not big; they would fit one person sitting cross-legged at most.

When Duan Ling Tian looked around, he discovered he could not see an end to the place at all. There was only endless darkness surrounding them.

At this moment, a few people cried out in surprise.

“Someone’s approaching from this end!”

“Someone’s approaching from this end as well!”

Duan Ling Tian regained his senses and instinctively turned to look at the two ends of the place they were brought to. He saw a group of people on each end. It was clear these two groups of people were also brought by the mysterious energy. There was no doubt these people were also those who managed to enter the Celestial Lord Temple.

“Sister Ou Ya.” A gentle and pleasant voice rang in the air at this moment.

Following that, a green figure flew toward Ou Ya, the genius from the Frost Sect, who was standing with the people from Duan Ling Tian’s group.

“Sister Murong.” A rare smile bloomed on Ou Ya’s face when she saw the green figure.

The green figure belonged to a woman who was much more graceful and prettier than Ou Ya. She seemed like a strong and capable woman.

“Murong Xiao Xiao!” Xue Jing Yu who was standing near Duan Ling Tian widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the green figure.

‘She’s Murong Xiao Xiao?’ Duan Ling Tian looked at the green-clad lady in front of him in surprise when he heard Xue Jing Yu’s words

Murong Xiao Xiao was a prodigy from the Murong Clan, a grade-seven clan. She was almost 200 years old and had comprehended two profundities from the law of water. She was in the midst of comprehending the third profundity and had already grasped its basics. Her comprehension of the third profundity from the law of water was comparable to Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity. Due to their level of comprehension, it did not boost their strength much, but this tiny boost in strength was still important. For example, if it were not for the tiny boost, Duan Ling Tian would not be able to kill Sima Chun if he relied on his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon alone.

Seeing Ou Ya and Murong Xiao Xiao’s interaction, it was not difficult to see they had a good relationship.

Women were inherently at a disadvantage in regard to cultivating. There were only a handful of talented female cultivators like Murong Xiao Xiao and Ou Ya in the regions under the Profound Nether Mansion’s control. For this reason, the two women had a close relationship.

“Sister Ou Ya, your trip must have been fruitful, right?” Murong Xiao Xiao asked with a smile.

Ou Ya could not help but smile bitterly upon hearing Murong Xiao Xiao’s words. She instinctively looked at Duan Ling Tian. Without Duan Ling Tian, there was no doubt her trip would have been fruitful. After witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength and his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon during the second trial in the Celestial Lord Temple, she did not dare to act recklessly and compete with him for the boxes and chests in the Soul Extinguishing Water.

“What happened?” Upon seeing the bitter smile on Ou Ya’s face and the wariness in Ou Ya’s eyes when she looked at a purple-clad young man, Murong Xiao Xiao could tell that something was amiss.

“It’s nothing.” Ou Ya shook her head and shifted her eyes back to Murong Xiao Xiao before she asked, “Sister Murong, did you obtain many things?”

“It’s not too bad.” Murong Xiao Xiao nodded. It was clear she was being modest based on the smile on her face. She knew Ou Ya quite well so she knew something was bothering Ou Ya despite Ou Ya’s words. She asked, “Sister Ou Ya, what’s wrong? I can tell something’s bothering you… Does it have something to do with that purple-clad young man?”

Ou Ya sighed before she recounted what had happened through Voice Transmission.

Murong Xiao Xiao was stunned speechless after hearing about what happened. She did not doubt Ou Ya’s words. A peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended two profundities from the law of earth? His talent really put her to shame! Moreover, this person also owned an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon! With the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, he killed Dongfang Jin Lun with just a strike!

Naturally, Murong Xiao Xiao knew Dongfang Jin Lun. After all, there was a time when he had tried to court her. Although she was confident she could best Dongfang Jin Lun in a fight, it would probably take her hundreds of moves before she could do so. It was impossible for her to kill him with just one move.

When Murong Xiao Xiao regained her senses, she looked at Duan Ling Tian as she said to Ou Ya, “Sister Ou Ya, can you introduce us?”

Ou Ya smiled helplessly and said, “Sister Murong, I’m not familiar with him. We haven’t even spoken to each other.”

“You’re really too shy… You could have greeted him politely after he killed Dongfang Jin Lun. After that, he probably wouldn’t mind if you took one or two boxes for yourself,” Murong Xiao Xiao said as she shook her head.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the distance surveyed his surroundings, trying to guess what the final trial was. When he regained his senses, he felt two pairs of eyes gazing at him. Soon after, he saw Murong Xiao Xiao and Ou Ya walking toward him.

Murong Xiao Xiao was the first to speak. She said, somewhat presumptuously, “Hello, I’m Murong Xiao Xiao from the grade-seven Murong Clan.”

“Hello.” As the saying went, ‘It was difficult to slap a smiling face’. Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained unchanged as he responded to Murong Xiao Xiao curtly. Although it was their first meeting, he could tell she was very independent and assertive.

Murong Xiao Xiao ignored Duan Ling Tian’s cold response and smiled even more brilliantly as she said, “Since I’ve already introduced myself, aren’t you going to do the same?”

“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian curtly replied.

Murong Xiao Xiao tried to converse with Duan Ling Tian by broaching various topics. Alas, it only served to annoy him.

Meanwhile, a black-clad young man from the new group of people who had just arrived looked at Duan Ling Tian with a dark expression on his face. “Who’s that brat?” He had been pursuing Murong Xiao Xiao for years now but had made no progress. She would usually ignore him so how could he not feel upset when he saw her taking the initiative to converse with another man? Moreover, she was being persistently friendly despite the cold reception. How could he tolerate this?

A green-clad young man standing next to the black-clad young man said, “It seems like he came with Ou Ya. Perhaps, he’s a friend of Ou Ya… That’s why Murong Xiao Xiao is so friendly.”
