Time flowed like water, and did not stop as per one's will. Very quickly, the night had passed, and there was only a day left before the first battle of the Cyan Cloud Ranking.
Within a vast palace on the 999th floor of the Azure Cloud Mountain!
, who was dressed in purple and had a calm aura, seemed more like a nobleman of a noble family who did not know anything about the martial way, sitting on the seat of honor. Seated on both sides of him were three great elders of the Martial Marquis with an imposing manner that was as deep as the ocean.
Below that were Yang Fan and the other core disciples who wanted to participate in the Cyan Cloud Ranking battle. Other than low level Martial Masters like Luo Jiahui, Chun Lan, and Xia He, the majority of the core disciples who had nearly a thousand of Peak-pulse and fourth level Martial Masters, had chosen to participate. Although they knew very well that with their own strengths, they wouldn't do much, and it would be difficult to stand out even among the top one hundred and twenty Cyan Cloud Ranking s, let alone their own nation's Heaven's Pride Battle, but competing with other heaven's Sect and talents would still be considered a huge blessing.
Among them, there were also a few familiar people to Yang Fan, such as Hundred Blossom Queen Situ Jing, Wyvern, and the Tang Shuwen who had been forced by Yang Fan to castrate his brother. Amongst the top thirty of the Earth Proclamation, all of them had successfully condensed their spirit bones before entering the Demon Spirit Secret Realm, the most important of them were the first stage of martial arts cultivation, and after consuming their Demon Spirit Secret Realm, all of their cultivation had surged up by leaps and bounds, almost all of them stepping into the middle stage of the Martial Master Stage. For example, the Hundred Blossom Queen Situ Jing, she had stepped into the seventh stage of the martial arts.
Amongst the thirty-six Heavenly Ranking monsters, the ones who truly possessed Seventh-rank Bloodline were only the top ten of them, while the rest of the heaven's pride level experts were all quasi-Seventh-rank Bloodline. There were even a few who only possessed superior eighth-grade bloodlines.
The Seven Stars Sect would last for five years, then for ten years, the outer sect disciples would be released and become a steward before they reach the Martial Master Stage at the age of thirty, or else they would be sent to a branch of the Miscellaneous Peak and become a steward. As for the core disciples, if they managed to break through to the seventh level of the Martial Master realm after the age of sixty, they would be promoted to become an elder and head of a branch, otherwise, they would only be deacons of a mountain peak!
"Tomorrow is the day of the first battle of the Cyan Cloud Ranking, I hope you all can display the might of my Seven Stars Sect, and spread the name of our sect …" After cheering for a bit, Han Qianye suddenly changed the topic, and said, "Of course, if you meet an opponent that you cannot defeat, you all must first protect yourselves, and then you all will be able to submit and live as long as you do not be worried. Do not act rashly, and lose your lives for no reason …"
Every single core disciple was a cornerstone of the Sect, and if they lost too much, it would be enough to shake the very foundation of their Sect. Furthermore, to be honest, the other core disciples were only there to accompany the crown prince in his studies, and the only ones that were deemed as hope were Yang Fan himself.
Jun Haoran was not bad, within the Great Tang Dynasty, he was worthy of being called a top level demon. There were very few people that could compare to him, but in the Thirteenth Nation of the South Mountain Domain, he was just an ordinary demon.
"Last night, our sect and the various elders investigated and found out that there are 12 people who are in greatest danger to you. Adding you and the others senior brother Jun, people have praised you as the Thirteen Seeded Evildoer …"
Hearing that, Jun Haoran who was standing in front of the disciples subconsciously puffed out his chest, and then, inadvertently glanced at Yang Fan, who was not far away, as though saying, Yang Fan, compared to me, you are still 10 years younger!
Unfortunately, Yang Fan seemed to not have noticed his gaze at all, his expression did not change in the slightest, and still remained indifferent, as if nothing could cause him to take it to heart.
"Among the nine great Sect, Heavenly Thunder Sect's young generation's number one person, Thunder Demon — Chen Lei, is rumored to be born with a heavenly lightning body, possessing the ability to absorb thunder and lightning from the Ninth Heaven.

As early as three years ago, he had already successfully opened his true acupoint and entered the realm of Martial Marquis. After three years of arduous cultivation, it is already unknown what realm his cultivation has reached, but the one thing that is certain is that an ordinary Intermediate Martial Marquis is definitely not his match … "
