Chapter 186: It has been nearly two hundred years; he has finally sent someone

"Has the first-round matchup table been released yet?"

Meng Cang asked.

"Yes, it is here."

The subordinate hurriedly presented it.

"It hasn't been submitted yet, has it?"

"Not yet."

"That is fine."

Meng Cang nodded.

He opened it immediately and quickly found the line for the Profound Heaven Sect.

Tianling Province Profound Heaven Sect versus Tiansheng Province Clear Radiance Sword Sect.

"How is the strength of the Clear Radiance Sword Sect?"

Meng Cang asked.

"It is a First-Rank Great Sect, promoted a hundred years ago. Its strength is quite decent."

The subordinate replied.

"Only First-Rank?"

Meng Cang frowned slightly.

Aside from that monster Meng Zhangqing, the Profound Heaven Sect had many other freaks.

Innate Sword Body, Stone Man bloodline, Overlord meridians.

Things that were incredibly rare in the past.

They were all concentrated in one place!

For any power, even a Great Teaching, possessing one would be considered lucky, let alone so many!

"Change it to a Great Teaching, or an Ancient Clan."

Meng Cang closed the document and said in a deep voice.

"Ah?"

The subordinate was stunned, then said, "Elder, this is against the rules. Although it hasn't been submitted, the Inspection Pavilion is aware of it."

"Altering the matchup table without authorization is a grave crime!"

[Omitted contact info]

"Do not be afraid. If there is trouble, have the Inspection Pavilion come to me."

Meng Cang, however, was indifferent.

Hearing this.

The subordinate pursed his lips and could only choose to withdraw.

This Elder Meng Cang, although only an Elder, held a high position in the Pavilion because he came from Central Province!

It seemed he had an extremely deep background.

He had already committed several acts that overstepped his authority before, but they all ended up being swept under the rug.

"Hmph, Profound Heaven Sect."

Meng Cang walked out of the pavilion and sneered repeatedly, "This Elder will make you fall in the very first round!"

Tampering with things in such a place.

Was simply to disgust the Profound Heaven Sect.

The real major moves would come after the Talent Battle.

――

Dong!

As the ancient bell tolled.

The Talent Battle officially began!

The first group to appear.

Were merely two First-Rank powers.

Both sides sent three disciples at the Spirit-Connecting Realm.

For First-Rank powers, Spirit-Connecting was the limit; there would be no Life-Death Realm experts.

Those were only cultivated by Great Teachings.

So many gazes watching at once.

Was enough to cause immense mental pressure on anyone.

Because of this, it was clearly visible that many of the heaven-gifted geniuses were not in their best state.

Only those who often experienced grand scenes could maintain absolute calm on such a stage.

Peng!

Half an incense stick later.

One side won, while the three disciples of the other side all collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

On the field, one could choose one-on-one, or a six-person melee.

In any case, it was to see which side was still standing at the end!

Clapping sounds rang out.

Although it was just a battle between geniuses of First-Rank powers, it was still considered exciting.

Sometimes a single-person duel.

Sometimes one against two.

Various techniques and arts truly gave people a refreshing feeling.

Soon.

The second group took the stage.

It was much the same.

A duel between First-Rank powers.

Meng Zhangqing stood at the edge of the Overhanging Ancient Mountain.

He was not distracted, watching the fighting on the field the entire time.

Those who could come here.

Were all young powerhouses of genius caliber.

Although they were not his match, their techniques and martial arts still had value.

With his current level of comprehension.

A little bit of pondering would lead to insights.

It could be considered as constantly increasing his own martial foundation.

"Third group."

"Tianheng Province, Ice and Snow Divine Palace."

"Versus!"

"Tianling Province, Profound Heaven Sect!"

After the second group ended, the voice rang out quickly.

"Ice and Snow Divine Palace!"

"A Great Teaching has finally appeared!"

"Tianheng Province is the fourth-ranked major province in our Southern Border, possessing two Great Teachings, and the Ice and Snow Divine Palace is one of them!"

"It is rumored that the core disciple of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace has already stepped into the Life-Death Realm, possessing powerful strength!"

"Before the competition format was changed, they were a strong contender for the top twenty!"

The crowd said excitedly.

Compared to First-Rank and Second-Rank powers, the number of Great Teachings was naturally scarce.

They had thought they would only encounter them much later.

Who would have thought they would meet them in only the third group!

Who would have thought that by just the third group, we would run into them!

But who was the power matched against them?

"Tianling Province, Profound Heaven Sect?"

"Have you heard of them? How unfamiliar."

"Never heard of them, but Tianling Province seems to be the tenth-ranked, near-bottom major province, right? A place so weak it doesn't even have First-Rank powers."

"It should be a First-Rank power; I heard a little about them a while ago."

"Only a First-Rank power? That's too miserable, to actually match up against a proper Great Teaching. If it were me, I would just concede."

The crowd discussed among themselves.

Their words were full of sympathy.

After all, the gap between a First-Rank power and a Great Teaching was truly obvious!

There was simply no way to fight.

However, on another level.

Many high-level figures of major powers stood up subconsciously upon hearing the name Profound Heaven Sect!

For the first time, their calm faces showed a change.

As if they had remembered something!

"Profound Heaven Sect!"

The Pavilion Master of the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them!

A terrifying aura overflowed.

Causing the surrounding disciples and Elders to retreat one after another.

"Father, what is wrong?"

Yu Hongxue was somewhat surprised.

Because she had never seen her father experience such emotional fluctuations before.

"It has been nearly two hundred years; has he finally sent someone?"

The Pavilion Master slowly stood up.

Although his voice was calm, everyone could feel the turmoil within his heart.

It was as if a storm had been stirred up!

"Father, what are you talking about?"

Yu Hongxue did not understand, "Is this Profound Heaven Sect very powerful?"

She searched her mind hard.

But there was no information about the Profound Heaven Sect.

It was not some top-tier Great Teaching either.

"Young Pavilion Master, nearly two hundred years ago, there was once a Second-Rank sect..."

An Elder nearby who knew the story began to recount it.

"Xi Yingqing!"

The Pavilion Master walked forward to the edge, his deep eyes falling directly onto the battlefield.

It was not just him.

Many high-level figures of top-tier powers were the same, leaving their seats.

Casting their gazes downward in unison.

It was as if the originally dull competition suddenly had a different meaning!

――

On the Ancient Mountain.

Hearing the name of his sect.

Meng Zhangqing was slightly stunned.

He did not expect it to be the Profound Heaven Sect's turn so soon.

It was only the third group, right?

But it did not matter; it was good to go early. He had been watching from above and his hands were itching; it was time to go down and move around.

"Senior Brother."

Meng Zhangqing turned around.

"Go ahead, but do not be careless about anything."

The Great Elder nodded, his smile gentle.

Among all the senior brothers and sisters, only the Great Elder was truly like an elder.

"Little Junior Brother, take them down; the Southern Border should remember the memories of that year!"

Ku Fengchun raised his fist.

"The Eighteen Sons of Profound Heaven have passed; now it will be your era."

Hua Ciyan walked over and helped Meng Zhangqing straighten his collar slightly.

"Mm."

Meng Zhangqing raised the corners of his mouth.
