On this day, the mountains were shrouded in a hazy cloud. The rolling sea of clouds came from the endless wilderness in the west, as if it was a legion of billions, passing through the jade-green mountains and heading towards the ocean in the east.

It was already noon. The golden sunlight penetrated through the clouds and descended like a pillar of light, enveloping the entire jade-green mountains in a golden glow.

In the midst of the mountains and ravines, countless cranes fluttered about, creating a grand scene of the immortal path in the air.

And today, this mountain peak of the War Immortal Stage had a single sword, Ling Tian. It was majestic and majestic!

The arena was like a giant sword slanted into the sky, the tip of the sword pointed eastward, it had a domineering, heaven-defying will! On the surface, there was no flat surface. Everything that could stand was slanted. For an ordinary disciple to be able to stand firmly on the Dou Xian Stage was already an impressive feat, much less fight.

It was precisely because of this slanted surface that most of the disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect would not be able to watch today's battle. Those who could stand here and watch would at least be at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage.

Just from this point alone, the Dou Xian Stage was several levels more solemn than the ascension platform.

This Immortal-Battling Terrace forbade the Immortal Crane from flying. Therefore, the disciples had to rush up on foot. When they arrived at the true battlefield, they were actually already slightly exhausted.

On the vast War Immortal Stage, when one looked over, they would see heads moving. The Immortal Dao disciples had eyes full of expectation as they waited for the battle between the twelve core disciples. A battle between Qi Condensation disciples was something they could only hope for.

Of course, Wu Yu was not one of the core disciples. But because he was involved in the struggle between the two supreme figures of the Sect Master and Protector, as well as the enmity between him and Situ Qing, and even the one year agreement, it was all very interesting.

"The Supreme Protector has arrived!"

The noisy and loud discussion of the disciples immediately shut their mouths. They looked in awe at a beauty in a blue dress that was floating down from the sky.

Even though she wasn't young, the passing of time didn't leave any traces on her body. Instead, it gave her a noble air, a refined temperament, and elegant makeup that added to her beauty.

As she fell, the surrounding light and shadows changed. Vaguely, there seemed to be a deep blue lake behind her. She was like a woman falling into water, finally landing above everyone's head, landing on a golden blue seat made from ten thousand swords.

This was the Myriad Sword Sovereign Seat, the exclusive seat for the Supreme Protectors. If anyone else dared to sit around, they would at least be considered a death sentence within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

One of them was someone Wu Yu recognized, and that was Elder Mu Ge. Today, the other Elders, including Lan Hua Yun, were all in charge, and Mu Ge was in charge of the selection of the supervisors of the Immortal Kingdom.

All of them stood there, surrounding the center of the Immortal Battlefield. Even people like Su Yan Li were among the crowd, but they were the closest to the battlefield. There were no other disciples within thirty feet of them.

Normally, the selection of the supervisors from the immortal countries would not be this grand. The reason why Lan Huayun had personally come today was all because of Situ Qing. Her appearance also caused the selection to become grand and solemn like it had never been before.

Surrounded by the crowd, Situ Qing, who was wearing a blue robe, was chatting and laughing with a group of disciples. The people around him were all participants, but they were on good terms with him and were trying to curry favor with him. At this time, he had absolutely attracted the attention of most of the onlookers.

"Wu Yu."

Situ Qing secretly searched for a while, but didn't find Wu Yu.

"Sure enough, it's as they said. He did not have the intention to join the battle, and only wanted to stall for time in fear that I might kill him." Thinking of this, Situ Qing sneered in his heart.

If they hadn't seen Wu Yu at this time, many of them would've thought the same.

At this moment, Elder Mu Ge stood up from his seat and asked, "The competition is about to begin. Have the twelve participants come?"

Everyone looked over. Among them, ten of the participants had already gathered around Situ Qing. In total, there were only eleven of them.

"Wu Yu, you're not here yet."

Very quickly, many people replied with disdain. Wu Yu's absence today confirmed the guess of most of the disciples these days. He had participated in the selection competition purely because he was afraid that Situ Ming would kill him.

"To think that our Heavenly Sword Sect has produced such a shameless person. "I heard that a few days ago, he even picked up the Monkey Head Fruits that Situ Qingming threw on the ground."

When these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd immediately burst into an uproar. As disciples of the righteous sects, they naturally felt no shame towards such cowardly actions.

"You guys don't know much about it. It was said that Wu Yu had crawled under Situ Qing's crotch to pick up the Monkey Head Fruit." It's just a mere Monkey Head Fruit, and yet you call him someone without a backbone, it's really us … "

He hadn't even finished speaking when Elder Mu Ge looked around before his gaze finally landed on Su Yan Li. He said in a clear voice, "Martial Nephew Yan Li, since you're on good terms with Wu Yu, go and invite him. Don't waste any time."

He naturally knew that Wu Yu definitely hadn't arrived because he was afraid of death.

"Alright." Su Yan Li was also prepared like that. Today was a special day for Wu Yu, and it was the final test of the Sect Leader. There was no way that he wouldn't come.

"No need."

At this time, a loud voice full of energy sounded out from behind the crowd. Everyone quickly turned their heads and they saw a tall and straight youth who seemed thin, but was actually very muscular.

When he arrived behind the crowd, under the pressure of a pair of cold, piercing, golden eyes, the crowd subconsciously opened up a path for him, allowing Wu Yu to quickly arrive in front of Su Yan Li without a hitch.

"In just a few days, how did you grow so much taller?" Su Yan Li's beautiful eyes were filled with shock, while her cherry lips were slightly parted. Wu Yu had never seen her so astonished.

Su Yan Li was tall and slender, but Wu Yu was already taller than her by half a head. Situ Qing was also only half a head taller than Wu Yu.

"The reason why I've been cultivating these past few days." Wu Yu slightly smiled. His confident smile was like the sunlight shining through the clouds, showing off a manly charm. He who acted like that caused the people who were hiddenly discussing to shut their mouths. As they looked at each other, they could see that everyone was embarrassed.

"Wu Yu!" Situ Qing's burning gaze landed on Wu Yu. This was not a good omen. He was the core of everyone's attention, so how could Wu Yu steal his attention when he came?

For a moment, lightning flashed in his eyes. There were still five battles ahead of him, but he couldn't wait any longer. The fire in his heart, despite his restraint, continued to soar upwards.

"Brilliant. You're just a lowly ant, yet you're so angry. You're not worthy to be my, Lan Huayun's, disciple." It was only until Lan Huayun's words that Situ Qing's heart turned cold. He forcefully suppressed the thick killing intent in his heart and continued his banter.

Seeing this, Mu Ge announced directly, "Since we are all here, we won't waste any time. For the two of you, there's no need for me to call you out. Come out and fight."

The moment of excitement had finally arrived. Everyone was no longer paying attention to Wu Yu, but was now filled with anticipation as they watched the battle between the core disciples! At this moment, the fire began!

The two young Heaven's Pride at the Qi Condensation stage arrived at the center of the battlefield in a few steps. Under the stares of the crowd, they greeted each other first and then started to fight.

"Dao Techniques, Magic Treasures!"

This was the first time that Wu Yu had seen a Qi Condensation cultivator's specialty so clearly. Both held a sword. That long sword was different from the Demon Suppressing Sword. Perhaps the Demon Suppressing Sword was more sharp, but that long sword already had celestial dao power, so it would greatly increase the user's power!

Moreover, different magical equipment had many different uses. From what was recorded in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent's Book, magical equipment could even stabilize the body and release poisonous fog as well as many other unimaginable effects.

As for Dao arts, when used with magic, it was even more unimaginable. The simplest ones, such as drawing the wind, controlling lightning, controlling fire, were innumerable and extremely powerful. When using Dao arts, one could be considered a deity in the eyes of mortals.

"Youngest junior brother!" Just as Wu Yu was lost in thought, he was suddenly struck on the shoulder. This frightened Wu Yu. With his current level, for him to be able to sneak up behind her and pat her shoulder without her even knowing about it, it showed that Wu Yu was very strong.

If he had stabbed the sword into the back of his heart, then he would have lost his life.

He suddenly turned his head and saw a man dressed like a scholar standing beside Su Yan Li. He was dressed entirely in black, had a tall hat on his head, and was waving a fan in his hand. Upon a closer look, this man was quite handsome. He had a small mustache and seemed to be very serious. However, his eyes would occasionally flicker with a light of intelligence. He was as shrewd as a fox.

At this time, this man was sizing him up with great interest, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Su Yan Li rolled her eyes at the man and rebuked him, "Third senior brother, don't tease him. He's going to fight soon. "

That person gave him a glare and said, "How could I? Today, this young master is standing up for my junior." Looking at his comical appearance, he actually made people feel a sense of intimacy with him.

Wu Yu finally understood his identity. He was actually the third disciple of the Sect Leader, Su Yan Li's Senior Brother. It seemed like he definitely had the ability to surpass Su Yan Li. What was fortunate was that he also seemed to admire himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called himself Junior Brother in such a situation.

"Youngest junior brother, let's get to know each other. I am the third disciple of Old Man Feng. My name is Mo Shishi, you can just call me Third Senior." He was clearly dressed as a scholar, but his tone of voice sounded like a hooligan.

"Martial Uncle Mo?" Third senior brother? " Wu Yu, on the other hand, fainted. Was it her Martial Uncle or Senior Brother?

"He is a poet from a book. He always takes advantage of others by using his name. Later on, I can get Master to give you a name called Mo Shizhi." The usually indifferent Su Yan Li relaxed her speech a lot when she saw Mo Shishi. It seemed that the two of them had a good relationship.

"Hey hey, little junior sister, don't do anything rash. I submit, I will bow down to you, okay?" "Oh right, you're so concerned about this junior. To be honest, you can't be thinking of eating this old cow, right?"

Mo Shishu waved the fan in his hand and said shamelessly.

"You're asking for a beating!" Su Yan Li really couldn't do anything to him, she didn't act like he was a senior at all.

At this time, listening to them fooling around, they didn't expect that the victor had already been decided on the battlefield. The first Immortal State overseer had been born. It was getting closer and closer to the battle between Wu Yu and Situ Qing.
