The supreme deity muttered to himself for a moment, then said: "Tomorrow is the day the Heavenly Emperor Arts will be held. Everyone be on guard, be wary of the sixth layer of the Heavenly Devil Dao."

"Yes sir!"

The crowd of cultivators accepted the order, only the Supreme Celestial sovereign was still seated on his throne.

"The battle two months ago, did you manage to find the cultivator that survived?" In the spacious hall, the Supreme Celestial sovereign suddenly spoke.

From the shadows, a cultivator dressed in black slowly walked out.

If he hadn't moved his body and no one had noticed him, he would have been standing quietly in that corner the entire time.

It was completely silent, like a ghost.

"Reporting to my lord, I haven't found any information yet."

The black clothed man replied softly, "However, even though we didn't find that person. However, there was news from the Bai Yue market that it was a white-clothed gongzi. According to the people from the Zhuge family of the Second Sky, the man in white had a conflict with Xie Feng.

The supreme deity nodded his head, "Then what is the background of Xie Feng?"

"It's one of the demons."

"A demon?"

The Supreme Celestial Lord raised his eyebrows, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Among the demons, I have only heard of one called Xie Feng."

"It's one of the seven Demon Generals, Xie Feng."

The Supreme Celestial Lord laughed coldly, "His demon race is not staying in the Thousand Blessings Underground Palace, why is he here?"

The black clothed man remained silent. He understood that the Supreme Celestial was not asking him, but mumbling to himself.

The Supreme Celestial knocked on the armrest of the throne, and said slowly, "Rumor has it that the Thousand Illusionary Sword Immortal used seven major elements that night, and even used Heavenly Energy afterwards?"

"Yes, he used the Heavenly Energy of the Water, Fire and Wind elements. It is said that someone faintly heard him mumbling the Dazzling Hundred Flowers before he cast them. "

The Supreme Celestial Sovereign said slowly, "This person has a grudge with Xie Feng, and he controls the power of gods and devils … "No matter the cost, you must find out that person's origin for me!"

"Yes."

The man in black slowly retreated and disappeared into the shadows of the hall.

The Supreme Celestial Sovereign supported himself with his elbows on the armrest of the throne as he gently supported his chin. A faint smile appeared on his lips, "This stage of my cultivation is getting more and more lively."

The day of the Heavenly Emperor Arts had finally arrived.

Early in the morning, the entire supreme spiritual city became very lively. Cultivators carrying flying sword treasures could be seen everywhere.

As for those sects that had come from all over the world to participate in the Heavenly Emperor Arts, they were even more awe-inspiring as they lined up in formation.

As the Heavenly Emperor Arts began, the intense battles also began.

However, the cultivators watching the battle suddenly felt a bit bored.

The contest for the Heavenly Emperor Arts could be said to be marvelous. Especially the fact that there was an extra quota for the Heavenly Emperor Arts this year. This was an unprecedented event.

However, all of this seemed so pale and dull when compared to the life-and-death battle two and a half months ago.

The Heavenly Emperor Arts were mainly used in martial arts competitions. Both sides were famous sects of the First Heavenly Layer, so neither side would recklessly kill the other.

In addition, these participants were all talented youths from various sects and schools. Although their strength was impressive, it didn't mean that they were heaven defying.

After a round of sparring, the moves remained as exquisite as before, and the battle was still magnificent.

But among them, there wasn't the striking force of the battle of life and death, nor was there the imposing Ling Lie's aura of the Heavenly Dao.

The cultivators who had watched the life-and-death battle two and a half months ago immediately felt extremely bored.

This time, due to the increase in the number of participating disciples, the number of participants in the Heavenly Emperor Arts reached over three hundred. The tournament that could be completed in three days also lasted for a full ten days.

Finally, the last day of the battle began.

Both sides were from the First Heaven Immortal Mountain and the Jinyun Mountain, as well as the grudge between Situ Yun and the Heavenly Spirit Mountain.

These two were the hot topic for winning the championship this time.

This was especially true for Situ Yun. It was said that he had arrived a bit earlier and had been fortunate enough to see the battle of the Heavenly Dao two and a half months ago.

After that day, he suddenly gained enlightenment. After two months of closed door cultivation, he successfully broke through the peak of the Aurous Core stage and entered the Nascent Soul stage.

Among the juniors, the Nascent Soul stage represented absolute strength.

With this sort of cultivation, it would be well-deserved to say that he was a disciple of the younger generation that had swept through the first heaven.

However, when Situ Yun stepped onto the martial field, his expression was ugly.

This wasn't the first time Situ Yun had come to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, but this was the first time he had come as a spectator, so today he was standing on the school field.

He vaguely remembered how, when he was young, his master had brought him to this Heavenly Emperor Arts. The surroundings were filled with cheers of joy, and everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and worship.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the only winner.

That scene was deeply engraved in his young heart.

This year, he finally had the opportunity to participate in the long-awaited Heavenly Emperor Arts. Not only that, he even passed through trials and tribulations as he stepped into this final battle!

But today, the people outside the stage seemed to be preoccupied. What they were discussing was still the battle of the heavens two months ago.

Situ Yun was angry, but also a bit confused.

In the battle two months ago, he was also one of the many spectators.

Towards the white robed figure in the sky, if one were to say that he was jealous, he would say that he was respectful.

To be able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao at the final level of the Aurous Core Stage, how much wisdom would be required to achieve such a feat?

Judging from that figure, that cultivator shouldn't be too old. If he could befriend such a person, how blissful would that be?!

However, the man in white was like a roaming crane; his whereabouts seemed to be a dragon that could not be seen.

In these two months, who knew how many people in the Spirit Treasure City were looking for the legendary Thousand Illusionary Sword Immortal.

Situ Yun sighed and his gaze fell onto Chou Wan who was not far away.

He and Qiu Wan were old rivals. Both sides had fought at least a hundred times, but both sides were equally strong.

This time, their relationship was like that of an enemy and a friend. Both of them treasured this rare opponent.

But today, it was different from before.

His vengeance came a day later than his, and coincidentally missed the Heavenly Dao battle that night.

And it was this missed opportunity that brought about the difference between heaven and earth.

Situ Yun had used his night watching the battle on the Heavenly Dao to break through from the peak of the Aurous Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

As for Qiu Wan, he had missed the opportunity to remain at the peak of the Aurous Core stage.

Although the difference was only one step, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth.

The two of them drew their swords, bowed, and then looked at each other from afar.

After a long while, Chou Wan sighed and held the tip of the sword in his hand.

Situ Yun was startled, but deep down he felt a deep hatred in his heart.

"Brother Chou, don't!"

Situ Yun's shout was a step too slow. With the force of ten thousand fingers, the top quality flying sword let out a cry and was broken.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Folding swords, this didn't mean breaking your own flying sword.

In such an occasion, this kind of action had a very clear meaning.

Recover...

"Brother Chou, why do you have to go through all this trouble?" Situ Yun felt a bitter taste in his mouth. This easy victory didn't make him happy at all.

Chou Wan revealed a faint smile: "Brother Situ, you and I have been fighting for so many years, and we appreciate each other. Today, it can be said that I've given you a grudge. From today onwards, I will never pursue the Heavenly Dao again … "

With that, he sighed. "The Heavenly Dao is vast and boundless. It is not something a mortal like me can find …"

As the sound of his voice faded, Chou Wan faced the Supreme Celestial Sovereign as he bowed deeply, then floated away.

As the Supreme Celestial sovereign witnessed this scene, he couldn't help but to sigh.

After being utterly defeated, it wasn't because he had lost to Situ Yun, but because he had been defeated by an endless sense of frustration.

To break through from the peak of the Aurous Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage would be extremely difficult.

But the representative of Chou Wan was the second strongest in the new generation.

Normally, it would only be a matter of time before he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, after this blow, his mind had already been soothed. In this life, there would be no possibility for him to break through.

Chou Wan had also clearly seen this, which was why he decided to turn his sword and hide.

The supreme immortal sovereign slowly stood up as his deep voice sounded out, "This year's Celestial Emperor Art's victor …"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped.

Everyone looked at the Supreme Celestial Sovereign in bewilderment, not knowing why he stopped at this moment.

However, at this moment, many of the powerful cultivators felt something and raised their heads, looking in the direction of the Supreme Celestial's gaze.

A silver light flashed in the sky. The light was bright and clear, and its speed was extremely fast.

And the target was precisely this Heavenly Emperor Arts' gathering area.

Just a moment later, a deafening whistling sound could be heard. This was clearly the sound of a high-level cultivator flying on the flying sword.

That white light finally revealed itself, revealing a woman clad in white, flying over with a sword in her hand.

The woman's white clothes fluttered in the wind, and her long skirt fluttered in the wind. Her appearance was handsome, and her face was like ice.

The most eye-catching thing was that the pair of eyes were like bright pearls that emitted radiance in all directions. However, they did not put people in their hearts and instead carried a bit of gentleness and charm.

Although there were many beautiful women in the Celestial Realm, none of them had such an aura.

The arrival of the Imperial Sword was like the descent of a sword fairy.

This kind of charm really made people cheer.

However, this action also caused people to feel worried.

This place wasn't just some desolate countryside, but it was the home of the supreme deity of the Unparalleled Spiritual Treasure City, Sky Heaven Lord.

And on the drill grounds, the Supreme Celestial Lord was also seated.

Inside the Unparalleled Spirit Treasure City, one couldn't fly on a sword.

Even though this wasn't an explicit rule, cultivators of the first heaven knew this.

There was no need to say anything else. Just think about it, if there was someone riding a flying sword flying above the Supreme Celestial's head every day, would he, the number one expert in the entire sky, feel comfortable?

The woman in white floated down and landed directly in the middle of the drill grounds.

She looked at her surroundings and bowed to the Supreme Celestial sovereign Ying Ying.

"Greetings, God."

A wave of exclamations sounded from the audience.

"Jade?"

"Is that the Bi Xia whose sect was exterminated?"

"Nonsense!" How many emeralds are there in our First Sky?! "

The supreme deity stared coldly at Ruo Lan for a long while, before slowly replying, "Why have you come here today?"

Ruo Lan said gently, "Lord, Ruo Lan is here to participate in the Heavenly Emperor's battle."

The supreme immortal elder lightly said, "The Heavenly Emperor Arts are already finished. If you want to participate, you should wait for five years."

As he spoke, he took a light breath and was about to speak.

But right at that moment, Ruo Lan raised her head, looking at the Supreme Celestial Sovereign with a pair of bright eyes, "Heavenly Lord, if Lan Yue is a disciple of the Jade Dawn Sect, and she receives the blessing of her teacher to participate in the Heavenly Emperor Arts, but she hasn't even made a move, how can the Heavenly Emperor's calculations be completed?"

The supreme deity's eyes gently opened as he stared at Ruo Lan for a long time.

Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on his face as he slowly returned to his seat.

"Since you say so, what do you think?"
