Everlasting Divine Emperor

The overall strength of the Golden Cauldron Garden was slightly weaker than that of Xumi Mountain, but not by much. Therefore, all the experts from the various sects wanted to see who would be stronger in the battle between the Jin Strong Golden Cauldron Courtyard and Phoenix Restaurant.

Some said that the genius disciples of the Golden Cauldron Academy were stronger than Mount Xumi, and they would definitely win this battle. Others said that the three genius disciples of the Phoenix Restaurant would be unstoppable, and the victor would be them.

However, what surprised everyone was that in the moment before the war between Phoenix Restaurant and the Golden Cauldron Garden, the upper echelons of the Golden Cauldron Academy had discussed and actually gave up on their own initiative to fight against the Phoenix Restaurant.

In this way, it would mean that the Golden Cauldron Academy had admitted that their genius disciples were inferior to Phoenix Restaurant, and it would also mean that they had given Phoenix Restaurant the third place spot in this year's Martial Competition.

This year's third place of the Martial Competition, this place that made one's heart burn with envy, was so easily taken into the hands of Phoenix Restaurant.

Even though many sects were envious, jealous and resentful towards this matter, they had no choice but to admit that the strength displayed by the Phoenix Brothel's genius disciples this time was indeed worthy of a whole new level of respect.

When Golden Cauldron Academy announced that they would give up fighting Phoenix Restaurant, the mountain top where the disciples of Phoenix Restaurant were located was boiling as the disciples embraced each other and sobbed. Even someone as calm and mature as Xuanyuan Hanxue and Shang Jingyun, who had a calm disposition, had traces of tears at the corners of their eyes.

On the other hand, Ye Daoxuan, Mu Qingyan, and Xin Wu, who had made great contributions this time, were full of excitement. However, they did not behave like the other disciples.

Wu Linglong hugged the few female disciples and cried for a while. Then, she sat next to Xin Wudi. Their hands secretly held each other's hands. Their eyes were filled with boundless joy when they looked at each other.

Ye Daoxuan, on the other hand, took advantage of the moment when Monk Jianxue was whispering to him, and grabbed onto Mu Qingyan's shoulder, allowing her to snuggle into his chest.

The fight for the spots between the ten great sects continued from dawn to dusk, and the final rankings were finally announced.

The Martial God Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect were still ranked first and second; the Xumi Sect, which had always been ranked third, was replaced by Phoenix Restaurant, revealing the biggest unforeseen event of the year; as for the Golden Cauldron Courtyard, which was originally ranked fourth, it managed to ensure that its rankings had not changed after a tough battle; as for Xumi Mountain, although the three great genius disciples had been crippled by Phoenix Restaurant, its reserve strength was not to be underestimated, and he still managed to obtain the fifth position …

In this Martial Competition, the worst sect would be the True Martial Pavilion.

Unlike Xumi Mountain, they did not have a strong reserve strength. In the end, the Iron Flag Sect, which had been defeated in the last round, was pushed out of the top ten sects and lost its share of the holy stone mine.

In fact, many sects were well aware that although True Martial Pavilion had suffered great losses, the greatest loser should have been Xumi Mountain.

Not only had Xumi Mountain lost a large amount of holy stones, but their reputation had also plummeted. For the veteran powerful sect Ximi Shan, who had always occupied the top three positions in the top ten sects, falling from third to fifth was tantamount to being slapped in the face by Phoenix Restaurant.

After the grand competition of the ten great sects ended, a few families were happy while others were worried.

Among these, the happiest ones were Phoenix Restaurant and Iron Flag Sect who had made it into the top ten for the first time. The most tragic ones were True Martial Pavilion and Xumi Mountain.

According to the rules, after the competition ends, the various sects will stay at the Tian Dao Sect for the night. The Tian Dao Sect will take over and invite the disciples of the various sects to return the next morning.

However, it was possible that True Martial Pavilion and Xumi Shan had lost too miserably, so they didn't have the face to stay. As soon as the martial arts competition ended, they left in a hurry, gloomy expressions on their faces.

The departure of the two sects didn't affect the banquet held by the other sects.

The Tian Dao Sect was indeed worthy of being the strongest sect in the world. On top of the banquet, there were saint rank strange fruits, delicious spirit beast meat, rich and fragrant wine … To a practitioner, these were all rare items that could assist in their cultivation.

The most eye-catching thing was that, at the banquet, Martial God Palace's Palace Master, Long Feng, actually took the initiative to walk over to Phoenix Hall's side and chat with Ye Daoxuan for a while, causing the young generation of disciples of the other sects to feel envy and jealousy.

However, what was it that Changfeng Wanli was talking about with Ye Daoxuan? Because at that time, Changfeng Wanli had set up a restriction around his surroundings, other than Changfeng Wanli and Ye Daoxuan, no one else knew. Even Xuanyuan Hanxue, Jing Yun, and the others didn't know.

On one hand, it was related to his martial arts, and on the other hand, it was related to the matters concerning the Wasteland race. It was said that the Wasteland race might descend into this world again after thousands of years, which would pose a serious threat to the humans living here, and he hoped that when it was time for Ye Daoxuan to stand out and fight for the sake of protecting the human race, and so on ….

In Ye Daoxuan's mind, what Ye Daoxuan said about the foreign lands was like the outer starry sky of his previous world, and the Wasteland Race was that alien. All of this was too far away, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

However, they also thought that it was only an ancient legend and could not be believed. However, it seemed that Eternal Wind Myriad Miles seemed to have a very good impression of Ye Daoxuan, which was a good thing.

Experts were as common as clouds within such a large sect like the War God's Palace. Just the power of their sect alone was enough to easily crush the other nine great sects. If Phoenix Hall could get close to them, it would be a shock to Xumi Shan, a sect that viewed Phoenix Hall with hostility.

In the middle of the night, a divine rainbow flew from the top of a mountain in the Heavenly Dao Sect and landed on the Xuan Wu Tomb.

The martial practitioner controlling the divine rainbow had actually succeeded in concealing all of his presence without alerting anyone. Even the Martial God Palace Master, who had already reached the Spirit Severing stage, had been concealed from him.

The warrior quietly stood on top of the Mausoleum of Xuanwu, seemingly deep in thought. Suddenly, he waved his left hand and cut off a thick layer of soil below his feet, revealing an extremely solid layer of black rock.

The warrior crouched down and gently caressed the black layer of rock with his palm as he mumbled, "When I fought against Mo Lingfeng in the day, a drop of blood fell on this Xuan Wu Tomb, causing me to feel a sense of familiarity … "According to the legends, the Xuanwu Tomb was transformed from an ancient god turtle tens of thousands of years ago. This solid black rocky layer really does look like a turtle shell …"

The warrior was Ye Daoxuan.

When Ye Daoxuan and Mo Lingfeng were battling in the daytime, he discovered that there was something strange in the Xuanwu mausoleum, but since it was surrounded by spectating martial artists, he was unable to examine them closely. He chose to come here again in the dead of the night to investigate.

Ye Daoxuan had only recently discovered a method to completely conceal his aura, which was to simultaneously circulate the five elemental mystical arts, such as the Sublime Sage Scripture and the Absolute Beginning Scripture. Afterwards, his own aura would completely fuse with the aura of nature, and at that time, no matter how strong a martial artist was, they would not be able to detect a trace of him.

With the help of this unrivalled magical technique, Ye Daoxuan easily left the Heavenly Dao Sect and came to the Xuanwu mausoleum.
