Chapter 8: Shatter Void Elder, Martial Stage Battle

"Junior brother, you keep looking left and right—are you looking for someone?"

Soon after, in the pavilion, Lin Bai glanced left and right, alternating between joy and disappointment.

Lin Bai heard his senior brother's inquiry and gave a hehe smile: "Senior brother, I'm looking for my fiancée!"

"My fiancée passed the first round of testing and is now undergoing the second round."

Shi Hao patted his junior brother's shoulder and laughed: "Oh, I didn't expect junior brother to be unsuccessful in cultivation but successful in love! Haha, senior brother is jealous."

Feng Qingyang beside them did not chat idly; he was resting with eyes closed.

【 "System, let me use the silver summon card." 】

Just in case, it's still good to have a trump card.

Although he doesn't need a trump card either, with a Great Emperor Realm ancestor present, a thought can summon him—what need is there for a measly trump card?

But this thing will eventually be used; nobody dislikes having more strong people.

There's still the Azure Lotus Sword Art; maybe we should wait until we return to the sect to pass it on to Lin Bai.

【 "Ding, silver summon card used successfully, summoning...... beep, summon successful...... congratulations host summoned a Shatter Void Peak Realm expert...... now inscribing." 】

"Just a Shatter Void Peak? It'll barely do."

Feng Qingyang silently thought, quite disappointed.

You know the silver summon card can at most summon a Manifest Saint Realm expert.

But he was also content; he couldn't expect the goddess of fortune to always be on his side.

The previous two golden and copper summon cards both summoned the highest realm possible within their limits.

"Sect Master."

A middle-aged man appeared silently beside Feng Qingyang.

With no cultivation aura, he was like an ordinary person.

If he didn't actively reveal his cultivation aura, who would think that an existence second only to the Holy Land, a Shatter Void Realm powerhouse comparable to the Eastern Region's hegemon, would appear here, respectfully greeting people?

Just this one person is enough to match a hegemon-level force.

Shi Hao and the other two also noticed Feng Qingyang's side.

"Has the sect gotten more people again? I don't know which senior it is."

Lin Bai still didn't know about the Qingyun Sect's affairs; Feng Qingyang had told Shi Hao that the sect's experts were either asleep or wandering the world.

"Junior brother, this is a senior of our Qingyun Sect—go over and take a look."

Feng Qingyang saw Shi Hao and the other two coming over just then, so he said: "You just happened to come over; let me introduce you—this is our Qingyun Sect's Outer Sect Elder, Ye Bai."

"It's actually an Outer Sect Elder!"

Shi Hao and Lin Bai's hearts jolted simultaneously; as the guard Senior Wang Jian was already that strong, an elder's strength could be imagined—must be an even more profound expert.

"Shi Hao, Lin Bai, greetings Elder," they then said in unison.

"Hmm, no need for excessive courtesy."

Ye Bai nodded his head to indicate.

Feng Qingyang seemed lost in thought at this moment.

The sect's people are growing more numerous, yet the Qingyun Sect still has no uniform of its own.

Don't underestimate sect uniforms; they're not just a simple piece of clothing—uniforms strengthen disciples' sense of belonging and honor, and also play a big role in raising the sect's fame.

【 "Ding, as the future First Divine Sect of the Heavens, not having a sect uniform—how can that be? If it gets out, wouldn't people laugh!" 】

【 "Issue mission: shine brightly at this exchange conference; mission reward: sect-exclusive uniform." 】

Well, just as someone was dozing off, someone brought a pillow.

Feng Qingyang's eyes lit up—the system always shows up at just the right moment.

"Cough cough! Alright, no more nonsense—it's our turn to perform."

At the same time.

The recruitment conference below had already entered its final stage.

The disciples of the various sects had mostly finished their selections.

Taken into the Holy Land's bag was an eighteen‑year‑old Nascent Soul Early Stage youth.

An eighteen‑year‑old Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was truly eye‑catching.

The rest were divided up by hegemon‑level forces and the remaining powers.

Those who were selected were full of high spirits.

"Haha, I've entered the top‑tier force I've dreamed of, the Sunny Sect!"

"Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Bai also got his wish fulfilled."

Under the arena.

"Senior sister, the recruitment conference is over—let's go."

Hearing the junior sister's words, Leng Bingning said casually from the side: "Wait a moment; I've received word that there will still be an inter‑sect exchange conference later—let's take a look then."

"Ah, among the senior sister's group, the strongest talent is just that eighteen‑year‑old Nascent Soul Early Stage; I estimate I couldn't even beat him, though I'm already at Nascent Soul Mid Stage."

"Just looking is fine—are you not listening to the senior sister's words?"

On the Grand Competition Martial Stage.

"Everyone, this recruitment conference has ended successfully."

"Next up is the time for the sect exchange conference."

All the sects were invited to the center of the conference—of course, only those above first‑tier forces receive this treatment.

As for the small sects, let them do whatever they like.

Feng Qingyang and his five companions were also invited up; this was a special instruction from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Elder.

Why am I still unable to see Qing'er's figure?

Shi Hao guessed what he was thinking and comforted him.

Junior brother, junior sister must have been selected by a major power and left without saying goodbye.

Mm, I know, senior brother.

……

Everyone, now everyone has gathered, the exchange conference officially begins.

Everyone can send out their outstanding disciples to compete; of course the ages should be comparable, no bullying the younger.

The various sects' eyes lit up; this is indeed a good place to show off.

Such a grand disciple-recruiting conference has indeed drawn the attention of the entire Eastern Region.

Even though it's already over, the lingering warmth remains; casually showing off could be bragged about for a lifetime.

Obviously, the disciples of the various sects also understand this principle.

Haha, since that's the case, I won't be polite, everyone. Xiao Huo of the Flaming Sun Sect comes for instruction; who dares to fight?

I, Jiang Kui of the Black Mountain Sect, have come to seek instruction.

After saying that, the two began fighting, exchanging punches and kicks, inseparable.

On the martial arts stage, spiritual energy crisscrossed.

After a moment.

Jiang Kui was knocked off the stage with a palm; after a fierce battle lasting a moment, Xiao Huo of the Flaming Sun Sect ultimately won.

The Holy Land, not having participated in recruiting disciples, left early; after all, winning wouldn't be glorious, and losing would be a huge embarrassment.

Some hegemon-level and top-tier powers successively sent their disciples onto the stage.

The battle proceeded in full swing.

Master, I'll go stretch my limbs.

Shi Hao, seeing this scene, couldn't hold back; since his injuries healed, he hasn't had a proper big fight yet.

Hmm, have you reached the Nascent Soul realm?

Feng Qingyang looked at Shi Hao, who was gathering his strength; this kid was still at the peak of Golden Core when he came to Mysterious Moon City, but he broke through silently.

Yes, Master, I broke through just after walking a couple steps.

Holy crap, the senior brother is Nascent Soul?

Lin Bai stared in shock at his senior brother, who is about the same age; truly, comparing people makes one angry to death!

After a moment, below.

Shi Hao leapt onto the martial arts stage and loudly said: 'Outer disciple Shi Hao of the Azure Cloud Sect has come for instruction.'

He wore a black robe, his eight-foot height exuding aura, his chiseled face filled with strong fighting spirit.

Azure Cloud Sect? I've never heard of this sect.

No, those who can participate in the exchange conference shouldn't be nameless small sects!

I recall, it seems to be the sect that fell from the Imperial Sect to become an insignificant power.

The sects below whispered to each other.

Everyone here is a prominent figure of the Eastern Region; not just any nobody can challenge.

Elder, the Azure Cloud Sect is merely an insignificant small power; why can it also sit here and exchange martial arts with us?

The elder of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, seeing the scene somewhat noisy, came out to explain.

What's the problem? The Azure Cloud Sect was specially invited by me; whoever disagrees can come find me for instruction.

He wanted to test the Azure Cloud Sect at the sect conference, to see if they had obtained the inheritance of the Great Emperor realm, so he could also get a share.
