Chapter 1083 Waiting (1/2)

The dangers in Guyuan Heaven were not to be underestimated. It was said Hunyuan Heaven once suffered devastating losses, losing almost half of their Heavenly Sun and Nascent Source participants. One of the nine regions teams was even nearly wiped out.

Hence, not a single faction dared to underestimate the battle for Guyuan Heaven.

Even so, it would be naive to believe that the agreements would allow the various factions to put aside all their differences and cooperate whole-heartedly. When faced with enough potential benefits, even factions from the same heaven would secretly scheme against each other.

This was something every faction clearly understood.

However, it did not mean that the agreements were useless. At the very least, the various factions would be able to swiftly band together in the face of danger.

...

Over the following days, the various factions remained camped under Heaven Pillar Peak. They were waiting for Guyuan Heaven to open.

Half a month passed.

Rumble!

At the Tianyuan Region camp training area, a blast of berserk energy exploded as a dragon roar faintly echoed.

Two figures were thrown backward, their feet leaving long marks across the ground.

The watching crowd of Tianyuan Region Heavenly Sun experts burst into cheers, as gaze after gaze respectfully looked towards the young figure at the center of the arena.

It was Zhou Yuan.

His two opponents were Bian Buji and Mu Youlan. These two were once two of the four Tianyuan Region Heavenly Sun pillars. Half a year ago, Zhou Yuan was still a mere newcomer in their eyes.

Who could have imagined that he would grow powerful enough to take both of them on together half a year later? In fact, he was even stably taking the upper hand in the fight.

Most of the Tianyuan Region crowd, who were still unaware, were utterly shocked by Zhou Yuan’s display of strength and could not help but burst into cheers. After all, suddenly finding out that Zhou Yuan was so strong both excited them and made them more confident in the subsequent battle for Guyuan Heaven.

Mu Youlan and Bian Buji exchanged a look, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. They had only agreed to this fight because Qin Lian had said that they might not be Zhou Yuan’s match even if they worked together.

They naturally did not believe this was true. After all, Qin Lian was not the only one who had grown much stronger over the past few months. The two of them had also made substantial progress.

The outcome, however, was a little hard to swallow for Bian Buji and Mu Youlan.

Mu Youlan could not help but mumble, “How is he so strong?”

Bian Buji let out a bitter chuckle as he sighed. “As expected of the supreme sovereign’s personal disciple.”

Zhou Yuan walked forward and patted their shoulders with a smile before waving at the crowd of onlookers. When he saw the respect in their eyes, he could not help but chuckle inwardly.

He had pulled strings to set this match up with the goal of fully winning over both the Tianyuan Region crew and the recruited unaffiliated cultivators. It was to prevent any potential internal problems after entering Guyuan Heaven.

A display of power was more effective than any status.

After consoling Bian Buji and Mu Youlan, Zhou Yuan turned and walked towards Qin Lian, who was standing at the edge of the arena. She winked at him and chuckled softly. “It seems that you’ve achieved your goal.”

“It’s all thanks to your cooperation.” Zhou Yuan chuckled.
