Chapter 158: The Beginning of the Mythical Da Luo

The second match.

The second senior sister of the Three Xiao sisters versus Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals' True Person Yuding.

The Three Xiao sisters were naturally renowned during the Investiture of the Gods Era; their most formidable battle was using the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to strip the Three Flowers atop the heads of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

But among the Twelve Golden Immortals, True Person Yuding's strength ranked at least among the top.

Setting aside everything else, just look at the disciple he took in, Yang Jian — in the future, he too became a famously great deity.

He was the War God of the Heavenly Court.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Art — it swept across the world.

From this one can tell that True Person Yuding himself likely also cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art.

"Junior sister Qiong Xiao, please…" True Person Yuding stepped forward and said with a smile to Qiong Xiao of the Jie Sect.

"Please…" Qiong Xiao drew a deep breath. Although True Person Yuding was strong and she might be defeated,

Qiong Xiao had long been mentally prepared for this.

She came to participate in this Cisan Sect display not to win a ranking, but to battle other disciples.

Having only recently broken through to Jin Xian, fighting disciples of the same realm would greatly aid Qiong Xiao's future growth.

This point.

Qiong Xiao understood it well, so even though this time she had to face Chan Sect's personally transmitted disciple True Person Yuding, she would not entertain even the slightest thought of retreat.

Afterwards, the two entered the Combat World.

Just as many had guessed.

In this match, Chan Sect's personally transmitted disciple True Person Yuding ultimately emerged victorious; Qiong Xiao, who had only recently entered Jin Xian, was still no match for this Chan Sect personally transmitted disciple.

"Qiong Xiao, it's alright." Yun Xiao watched Qiong Xiao fly over, gently patted her, and said.

"Elder sister, I'm fine." Qiong Xiao shook her head. "Not being Senior Brother Yuding's opponent — I had long thought it through. Originally, we only joined this competition to improve ourselves."

"Mm, it's good that you think this way." Yun Xiao nodded.

In this Golden Immortal Realm competition, it was obvious that she and Qiong Xiao had only come to participate, not to vie for rankings.

"Buzz, buzz…"

After the battle between Qiong Xiao and True Person Yuding ended, the Fate Light of those Jin Xian disciples flickered this time.

"This time it's actually me." Luo Fu looked at the Fate Light flickering in his hand, his gaze shifting slightly.

Luo Fu had not expected his turn to participate in the competition to come so quickly.

But then again, there weren't many Jin Xian participants this time; even if his turn hadn't come this round, it wouldn't have lasted much longer.

"Junior brother Luo Fu, do your best." Daoist Duobao said with a light laugh.

"Junior brother, even if you lose it's no big deal — after all, you've only just become a Jin Xian powerhouse. Don't put any psychological pressure on yourself." Jin Ling, Gui Ling, and other personally transmitted disciples also offered encouragement.

"Thank you, senior brothers and senior sisters. I won't feel any pressure." Luo Fu nodded.

When he was selected as a participant for this competition, his opponent had already been determined — it was another Chan Sect personally transmitted disciple, True Person Huang Long.

That's right.

It was precisely the True Person Huang Long who had mocked Luo Fu together with Chi Jingzi earlier.

True Person Huang Long's roots were of the Dragon Race; although the present world was no longer the era of the Dragon Race, and the Dragon Race's great momentum had long passed,

being accepted as a disciple by Master Yuanshi Tianzun still indicated to a certain extent that True Person Huang Long's aptitude was not bad.

After all, when Master Yuanshi Tianzun took disciples, he looked at the living being's roots — unlike Saint Tongtian Jiaozhu's Jie Sect.

As long as one had opportunity, one had a chance to become a Jie Sect disciple.

So True Person Huang Long's roots within the Dragon Race were also quite good, especially compared to the current Four Seas Dragon Race — far more outstanding.

But if his aptitude were placed back in the era when the Dragon Race was the protagonist of heaven and earth, True Person Huang Long's aptitude would count for nothing.

This point could be discerned from the performance of the Azure Dragon on Mount Yunlong.

For the Azure Dragon.

He was more inclined to find someone with backing who could inherit the Dragon Race's legacy; True Person Huang Long, being of the Dragon Race, additionally had Master Yuanshi Tianzun, a saint, as his support.

Overall, True Person Huang Long should be considered a very suitable candidate, except that in the Azure Dragon's view, True Person Huang Long's aptitude was still slightly inadequate.

His roots were good, but his aptitude could not keep up.

The ultimate achievement he could reach would be negligible — so would Master Yuanshi Tianzun, his backing, actually help True Person Huang Long?
