Chapter 287: Hope to Have a Great Time

The Qingqiu Emperor Lord Bai Zhou expressed his stance.

He looked at Tu Shan Jiao Jiao and asked, "Could you, Daoist Friend, do me a favor?"

"Emperor Lord, please speak."

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao nodded.

The Qingqiu Emperor Lord said, "The Tushan lineage holds a deep prejudice against our Qingqiu lineage for past transgressions,

and the impact of some of our radical faction on Tushan makes it hard for Qingqiu to trust us."

"I hope the Daoist Friend can act as a mediator to resolve the conflict between Qingqiu and Tushan."

"Please give Qingqiu a chance for atonement."

At this moment, the Qingqiu Emperor Lord resembled an elderly person yearning for family reunion, lacking imperial majesty and exuding great serenity.

He was clear in his heart.

Since Tu Shan Jiao Jiao comes from the Tushan lineage and is Lin Chuan's wife, she must also know about the inheritance.

Having Tu Shan Jiao Jiao act as the mediator is most appropriate.

Perhaps the other side also intends this.

The Qingqiu Emperor Lord has lived for tens of thousands of years, how could he not understand the entanglements?

"Alright."

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao smiled, "As a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, I am happy to pull the strings and promote harmonious coexistence between Tushan and Qingqiu."

"Thank you."

The Qingqiu Emperor Lord solemnly returned the greeting.

"When the genius battle ends, I will discuss details with the Emperor Lord again."

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao smiled.

"Alright." The Qingqiu Emperor Lord rose, clasped his fists, and said, "Qingqiu awaits the Daoist Friend's arrival."

"Certainly."

Both sides said farewell.

The Qingqiu Emperor Lord ceased his disturbances and left Yun Tai.

When the spatial fluctuations subsided, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao laughed, "How is my husband? Is Jiao Jiao impressive, and did she bring you an ally?"

"Impressive."

Lin Chuan smiled, "If the existence of Black Mist is confirmed later, Bi Luo Yuan still must fiercely protect Nan Gong Ya, and indeed some hard measures are needed."

To clash with a super power?

Too difficult.

Lin Chuan had long been calculating the combat power he could use next.

Purple Star Emperor Sect is undoubtedly his strongest backing, Xia Zi Sword Immortal counts as one, and his soon-to-awaken daughter Qing Fan counts as another,

The Cloud Kingdom may help, but not wholeheartedly.

Now adding a Qingqiu Fox Clan member provides an extra safeguard.

But if he truly clashes with Bi Luo Yuan, Golden Spirit Mountain may not abandon the chance to interfere.

Who can laugh till the end?

It's hard to say.

……

Time passed day by day.

Lin Chuan did not watch the competition among the losers, choosing to cultivate in solitude.

Ultimately it is merely the same realm; confronting Nan Gong Ya could easily capsize in the gutter, so caution is required.

With his cultivation speed, he progresses a thousand miles a day.

If he truly disregards everything, he can force a breakthrough into the legendary Third Realm.

Forty‑nine days later, the forty‑nine‑day loser's contest ended.

In an instant, the news spread across Mortal Earth and the Nine Major Star Regions.

For Lin Chuan, this was a minor matter, but for the many forces between heaven and earth, it was undoubtedly a super‑major event worth noting.

The slots for the nine supreme youthful Heavenly Pride were officially decided.

Slots to enter the Ancient Ruins and behold Immortal statues were awarded.

The future strongest, perhaps even an Immortal, is highly likely to emerge among these nine geniuses.

"The result is pretty much as I expected."

Lin Chuan looked at the list,

"Purple Star Emperor Sect Bai Li Ming, Golden Spirit Mountain San Zang Fozhi, Qingqiu Fox Clan Bai Miao Miao, free cultivator Mo Sha, free cultivator Lin Chuan, Bi Luo Yuan Nan Gong Ya."

These six slots had been decided long ago.

Even if San Zang Fozhi, Bai Miao Miao, and Mo Sha were eliminated in the fifth round, they would not lose the slots already obtained.

The other three slots went to Yin Zhai Kun Seventeen, Cloud Kingdom Yun Lian, and Haoran Wuji Sect Meng Ziyin.

Yun Lian's ability to cut back through the losers and secure a slot surprised Lin Chuan slightly.

It seems the breakthrough between life and death gave Yun Lian many insights, and another reason is that the Wu Clan's great blessing and Mo Mo's soul were severely damaged, preventing further participation.

Fang Ling of the Wind Frost Pavilion was also dismissed.

Otherwise, even with a breakthrough, Yun Lian's chance of obtaining a slot would remain low.

The most surprising to Lin Chuan was that among the many losers, the sole slot to enter the sixth round of the Celestial Realm power struggle was taken by Bai Miao Miao.

"Improving this much in such a short time?"

Lin Chuan was quite surprised.

Bai Miao Miao was eliminated by his own hand; he knew exactly how strong she was, and there was no doubt she was the weakest among the top six.

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao laughed, "It must have been the Qingqiu Emperor Lord who personally taught Bai Miao Miao; her innate talent also fits the inheritance, allowing her to transform in a single day."

"It's a good thing for us."

Lin Chuan wondered, "The third burial Fozhi is very powerful; can Bai Miao Miao really beat him?"

"During your cultivation retreat, I heard that the third burial Fozhi withdrew from the competition; he said that since he already secured a slot and couldn't claim the top, entering another round would just get him beaten."

"He simply chose to give up."

"I have to say, that Fozhi knows how to advance and retreat well."

"……"

Lin Chuan was at a loss, both laughing and crying; this really seemed like something the third burial Fozhi could have done.

At this point, the slots for entering the sixth round were officially decided.

The drawing ended.

The lone cultivator Lin Chuan will face Bai Li Ming.

Qingqiu Fox Clan's Bai Miao Miao will face Nan Gong Ya of Biluoyuan.

The victor will advance to the seventh round, determining the champion of the Genius Battle, and will not only gain the right to be the first to enter the Ancient Ruins,

but also receive numerous rewards from the eleven major super powers.

"This draw isn't looking good!"

Lin Chuan pressed his hand to his forehead; he would rather face Nan Gong Ya directly than clash with Bai Li Ming first, after all, the supreme Daoist Divine Power that merges the Three Pure Ones in a single breath is no joke.

Defeating Bai Li Ming would be difficult, and more importantly, it would reveal some of his flaws and hidden cards to Nan Gong Ya.

As for Bai Miao Miao, even after her transformation, hoping to surpass the current Nan Gong Ya is a pipe dream.

……

While Lin Chuan was reflecting, the outside world had already boiled over because of this draw.

The universally acknowledged strongest super genius before the tournament and the strongest lone cultivator who rose powerfully after the tournament's start were finally set to determine the outcome in the Genius Battle,

how could anyone not be excited?

In many people's minds, this was undoubtedly a rehearsal for the finals.

Even though Nan Gong Ya repeatedly displayed astonishing combat talent, the vast majority of cultivators still believed Lin Chuan and Bai Li Ming were stronger.

Whichever of the two won, it would essentially lock in the final champion's position.

……

On Yun Tai belonging to the Purple Star Emperor Sect.

Hao Xuan Jiao Zu smiled gently, "Senior sister, Ming'er and Lin Chuan are finally going to face each other; our speculation between us will finally have a conclusion."

Is Bai Li Ming stronger, or is Lin Chuan a step ahead?

Because of this, An Ci and Hao Xuan Jiao Zu have been arguing for many days.

An Ci said calmly, "Then let's wait and see."

At the front, Bai Li Ming sat dumbfounded in place, his eyes blazing, "Finally we're face to face! Lin Chuan, your strength is certainly not below mine."

"Hope we can both enjoy it to the fullest!"
