Chapter 922 - Deciding Battle (1/2)

“I am very curious.” General Hatchet Palace Master turned over and chuckled, “That Xing Huo Xun Yi has only that sort of strength after cultivating for 500 billion years. But now, how long has it been yet his illusory realm became so formidable. Is it because Xing Huo did not find a good teacher for his son in the past? For him to improve so much in such a short period, his comprehension ability must be high. But even if he did not have a good teacher, with sufficient comprehension ability, he should not be so weak even if he cultivated by himself… Elder Dong Bo, can you enlighten me?”

“Haha.”

Monarch Xing Huo was just laughing by the side, “General Hatchet, you can only say that Elder Dong Bo is indeed the cultivator who has the highest attainment in the laws and profound mysteries Dao of Mirage in history! His understanding of the illusory realm is extremely amazing. Under his guidance, my son’s understanding of the illusory realm has soared! I am really grateful to Elder Dong Bo for him to dig out the potential of my son in this field. Haha, it is the right decision for me to come to this Star Convention!”

General Hatchet Palace Master was clearly asking Xue Ying, yet Monarch Xing Huo took the initiative to intervene.

But the other Primal Chaos giants were going along with it.

What a joke.

Heart Imitation Religious Master, General Hatchet Palace Master, Monarch Xing Huo… they were the strongest three present at the scene and stood at the limit of Primal Chaos realm. They could easily slaughter those at the seventh level Star Pagoda strength! And even when fighting against those at the eighth level Star Pagoda strength, they could utterly suppress them. Most would die after a few moves. Their statuses were comparable to a seventh level Star Pagoda Unity expert.

As a result, even the highly arrogant General Heaven Light and others did not cut in. They just smiled.

‘This Unity brat has actually gotten the favor of Monarch Xing Huo for him to protect this brat so much.’ Different conjectures were forming in General Heaven Light’s heart. He could feel that Monarch Xing Huo was genuinely grateful to Xue Ying, and how Monarch Xing Huo was filled with endless delight!

‘Is it really the case that the potential of Xing Huo Xun Yi is dug out by Dong Bo Xue Ying?’ General Heaven Light was filled with some disbelief.

Since Monarch Xing Huo had stated it, what could General Heaven Light do even if he did not believe in it?

…

Within the world of cultivators, it was ingrained in everyone’s bone that the strong was respected.

Other than Xue Ying who was at the Unity realm, the rest who were seated at the high platform watching the battle were Primal Chaos experts! But it was normal since Primal Chaos giants could easily reach the seventh level Star Pagoda strength after accumulating enough experiences. And in the five great sacred worlds and primal chaos void, there was not a single seventh level Star Pagoda Unity expert in this era!

Primal Chaos giants naturally looked down from a high position when facing a Unity expert. They could casually dispatch an incarnation that would be at the fifth or sixth level Star Pagoda strength. They could easily slaughter a large group of Unity experts.

They who were initially disdainful of Xue Ying due to his weak strength became disgusted with Xue Ying after his disgraceful action of selecting ‘Xing Huo Xun Yi’! Nevertheless, everything is different now!

Firstly, Xing Huo Xun Yi’s strength was terrifying. More importantly, he was very weak during the preliminary selections, and clearly, he had improved dramatically during this short period. The other four teachers of the convention did not select him because they did not know Xing Huo Xun Yi’s improvement would be so frightening. If they knew, General Hatchet Palace Master and the others would definitely select him.

Only Xue Ying knew about him, and chose him! Furthermore, he specialized in the illusory realm as well. They might not know how Xue Ying did it–how he made Xing Huo Xun Yi so formidable–but it sufficed to make them admire this Unity teacher of the convention.

Secondly and more importantly, they could feel that Monarch Xing Huo was really grateful and protective of Xue Ying. Just this point alone made deterred them from having contempt for Xue Ying.

******

The battle of the five groups ended really quickly. Two cultivators would move on from each group, adding up to a total of ten!

These 10 talented cultivators began their duels. Each of them would have to fight nine battles, and the top five cultivators would thus be determined!

At this moment…

Each battle was significant!

The 200 chosen from the Star Convention preliminary selections would not be considered as core members despite joining the six great holy grounds. They would at most be treated as ordinary disciples. Only the final ten would become the core and be nurtured with full efforts by the holy grounds.

“Hong~”

The ripples from the battles fluctuated within the 50,000 kilometers long battle platform.

“Victory to Cang Qiong Tian Yun!”
