Chapter 173 - Reverse Opening The Five Wheels (2/2)

"Yes, we have."

The white-robed priest softly clapped his hand. A winter-like young lady walked out from the shadows, and she said smilingly, "Walking in the celestial temples of a celestial race, looking at the statues of my old enemies; my little heart can't help but pound with unease."

"Tian Myriad Mother … her existence will be regarded as the greatest secret of our celestial race against the Swords Gate, none other than us can know about it!"

The high priest glanced around, he then said placidly, "Tian Myriad Mother, have you found out about the strength of all these disciples and hall masters from Swords gate?"

'Shui Qingyan' took out a pile of scrolls and replied, "The celestial messenger of Swords Gate has found out the extents of most of their prowesses, however, this Zuo Xiangsheng has learned some other techniques external to the ones from Swords Gate. Even the messenger wasn't sure about his true prowess."

The high priest took over the scrolls and showed them to the elder priests, he said, "Find out their weaknesses as soon as possible, create techniques that can target those weaknesses and pass them down to the disciples."

The elder priests nodded and took over the scrolls to study it. The scroll recorded the daily cultivation routines and battles of the Swords Gate hall masters and disciples, detailing every minutia of their skills and arts!

Furthermore, the scrolls also stated the strongest in each of the respective levels; Qi Feng in the level of Spirit Nurture, Zhong Yue in the level of Rebirth, Lei Teng in the level of Awakening, Zuo Xiang Sheng in the level of Atman Body, and Tian Yanzhong in the level of Inner Core!

Soon, the elder priests extracted the information and arranged them accordingly, presenting the fruits of their research to the high priest.

After reading through the scrolls, the priest smiled and said, "This Zuo Xiangsheng is an uncertainty, and so is this Zhong Shan Clan member. However, there isn't a third uncertainty! We of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race will surely win three duels out of five, the Great Wilderness Swords Gate, is over! Xiaoshan, you are in the level of Spirit Nurture, I will leave Qi Feng to you. Step forward, take this scroll back and study it nicely. The elder priests have written down Qi Feng's weaknesses and the ways to tackle him."

A Xiao Mang celestial disciple stepped forward, took the scroll in his hands and returned.

"Xiao Chuwen, this scroll contains the information regarding the Zhong Shan Clan member, the information regarding his prowess is scarce and that makes it hard to deal with him. I will allow you to duel with him, but you will have to spend more time and energy to do your research and find his weakness. You are one of my disciples, I've no extravagant hopes that you can defeat him, but you mustn't be defeated either, understood?"

Xiao Chuqing stepped forward, bowed and claimed the scroll.

"Xiao Jin, you will take the scroll of Lei Teng."

A female celestial stepped forward, bowed and took the scroll while the high priest said smilingly, "Although this Lei Teng is weak, you are not strong either as you've just opened the Dao Yi Realm and acquired the Dao Yi Wheel. If it weren't for the fact that there aren't many Dao Yi Awakening Qi Practitioners in our celestial race, you wouldn't be selected either. You will need to study hard about Lei Teng's weaknesses just in case he possesses certain means that managed to escape the messenger's notice."

Xiao Jin nodded, bowed and returned.

"Xiao Chushan, come forward, take this scroll of Zuo Xiangsheng and study him. You are also one of my disciples, I don't ask for victory, but I don't want to see defeat either!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, take the scroll of Tian Yanzhong, his prowess must not be underestimated, although he has just advanced into the level of Inner Core recently, you must not let your guards down."

Abruptly, 'Shui Qingyan' stepped forward and said smilingly, "Why don't the high priest send me to battle with Zhong Shan Clan member, this way, our odds of winning are higher! With my true form, I can easily defeat the Zhong Shan Clan member and kill him dead on the spot!"

The high priest cast his gaze at her, shook and answered, "You are our secret weapon against Swords Gate, it's not the time expose you yet. Tian Myriad Mother, you may leave now."

….

In the room, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er sat down quietly, unbeknownst to them, the sky had turned bright and dark again with the Xiao Mang celestial temples lightening up the mountain.

The next day morning, the young lady took out another jade bottle and quietly chewed the Wu Qi Pellets in fear of waking up Zhong Yue. Not long later, the sounds of footsteps could be heard approaching the door. Tian Yanzhong faked a cough outside of the room and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, Junior Martial Sister Qiu, are the two of you awake yet?"

"Yes, we are."

When Qiu Jin'er was about to get down from the bed and she saw Zhong Yue opening his eyes and walking to her side. He curled his hands over the back of her body and carried her to the wheelchair. Qiu Jin'er was shocked and her face blushed red in shyness.

Zhong Yue pushed the wooden wheelchair to the door while Qiu Jin'er opened it; Tian Yanzhong was standing right at the door, and they quickly said smilingly, "Good morning, Hall Master Tian."

Tian Yanzhong nodded while measuring the duo with his eyes, the expression on his face turned eccentric as he saw Qiu Jin'er's little countenance blushing coquettishly in red. He slightly squinted his eyes as he asked probingly, "Today is the day we of the Swords Gate will duel with the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. Junior martial brother, Junior martial sister, do the two of you have enough energy for the upcoming battles?"

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were both puzzled, not knowing why he was so concern about their energy.

Tian Yanzhong faked a cough again and he said, "Let's go, we'll meet up with the others. Elder Feng hasn't appeared for two days already. It seems like he has been tangled, however, no matter what, he will have to appear today."

Zhong Yue nodded and thought to himself, Elder Feng must be feeling like a cat on a hot tin roof by now….
