Chapter 790: Chapter 734: Advancement List

Qingyun Realm outskirts, Heavenly Interference Sect’s residence.

Lii Jiuchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Yuebai and the others appear intact in the central square of the Qingyun Realm, he lifted his robe and sat down.

From the beginning when Qingyun Realm was shrouded in dark clouds, unable to discern the situation, to later when the clouds dispersed, the Mahayana Immortal Monarch announced throughout the realm that it was a trial, Lii Jiuchuan was tense, clenching his fists, standing and watching the entire process.

Not only did Jiang Yuebai and the others at the Nascent Soul Stage perform brilliantly, but on the Golden Core Stage side, Yun Shang, Qii Yue, Shi Xiaowu, along with Kong Jingyan who just joined the Heavenly Interference Sect, all surprised people.

On the Nascent Soul Stage side, Shen Huaxi’s strategy and decisions were exceptional, while on the Golden Core Stage side, Kong Jingyan’s control over the battlefield was equally effective as Shen Huaxi’s.

Although Kong Jingyan and the others lacked a senior sister like Jiang Yuebai or Lu Nanzhi to be their pillar and leader, they had Yun Shang who controlled beasts and Qii Yue who commanded an army of armor.

Shi Xiaowu and Hee Wangchen joined forces to array, creating a flawless setup, while Song Zhi’ang, lacking physical strength, was able to repair Qii Yue’s damaged armor at critical moments, providing backup support.

Jiangg Ziying, accompanied by Danggui who had reached the Golden Core Stage, managed things on her own; she was influenced by Senior Sister Jiang Yuebai back then, playing with thorn seeds adeptly.

In summary, everyone was excellent, made people feel gratified, and were worthy of being the pride of the Heavenly Interference Sect.

A sound of sniffling came from nearby, Lii Jiuchuan turned his head and saw True Monarch Cang Huo holding Memory Jade, with the "Heavenly Inference Sect’s Secret Record" spread open on the table, wiping his nose with his sleeve.

"So touched, these little rascals are so competitive, Jiuchuan, when we go back, I definitely want to properly note them in our sect’s history, let me write it, it must be me writing it!"

Lii Jiuchuan lowered his gaze, glanced at the open "Heavenly Inference Sect’s Secret Record," and saw ’Wangshu Cave’ written on it, his lips curled.

"Let’s forget about it!"

Lii Jiuchuan slowly drank tea, eyes shadowed, thinking that when they returned, that note must be erased, not recorded.

Otherwise, if that girl finds out, who knows what annoying things she might do.

In the mountains on the outskirts of Qingyun Realm, discussions continued to boil over, fervently. An extraordinary trial let everyone see these participants’ true selves and strength.

Besides the good sides, the bad sides were also revealed.

＊

Taibai Realm.

Immortal Monarch Fatian, wearing an Eight Diagram Daoist Robe, came out from the Observatory of Taibai Realm, preparing to announce the rules for the third trial to the trialists in Qingyun Realm, suddenly saw an Azure Dragon speeding from the eastern dark galaxy.

As it approached, the Azure Dragon raised its head and drooped its eyes, dragon whiskers fluttering in the wind, awe-inspiring.

Two women descended from the dragon head, the leading woman wore a jade crown, a usual green Daoist robe, androgynous, exuding a hint of Immortal Qi, as if not from this realm.

As she stepped down from the dragon head, she brought Immortal Monarch Fatian a sense of overwhelming pressure.

Immortal Monarch Fatian chuckled and clasped hands in a Daoist salute, "Cangqingzi, I couldn’t have imagined you outstripping us old fellows and stepping into the Immortal Sect first."

The visitor was the Guardian Immortal Monarch of the Green Dragon Realm, from Biyou Palace in the Green Dragon Realm, Cangqingzi, who had successfully passed the ninth Immortal Tribulation and could ascend to the Immortal Realm anytime with the Azure Dragon beside her.

At present, there were still some affairs unfinished, so she relied on a quasi-Immortal Artifact on her to temporarily suppress it.

But a quasi-Immortal Artifact can only suppress temporarily, unable to resist the powers of the Heavenly Dao, forcibly retaining Cangqingzi in this realm.

Fatian admired Cangqingzi for her humility and integrity, although she was from Biyou Palace, she never sided with Biyou Palace in various matters, like in the last Qingyun Conference, when Biyou Palace was squeezed out of the Ten Great Powers by True Martial Immortal Sect, she even advised Biyou Palace to accept it calmly.

This time, due to the previous Winged Dragon incident, Biyou Palace was disqualified from participating in the Qingyun Conference by Cangqingzi.

This was something the other Immortal Monarchs couldn’t achieve.

Cangqingzi was humble, returned the courtesy, her hand slightly lower than Fatian’s, despite her cultivation surpassing Fatian, as in the past, Fatian was her senior, it was inappropriate for Cangqingzi to lose etiquette.

Seeing the remarkable and exceptional female cultivator behind Cangqingzi, carrying a spear, at Late-Stage Integration, Fatian was slightly moved.

"Who is this?"

Cangqingzi glanced behind her, the female cultivator stepped forward and saluted.

"Junior Wuwei, greets Immortal Monarch Fatian."

Fatian appraised the person before him, thinking Cangqingzi bringing her here at such a moment indicated that Dao Lord Nangu of the Green Dragon Realm might be encountering obstacles advancing to Mahayana.

"Fatian senior brother, have all the other Immortal Monarchs arrived?" Cangqingzi softly inquired.

Fatian stroked his beard, "Except for Fuzhang, that ominous fellow, they’re all here, you go ahead, I’ll catch up shortly."

Fatian departed first, Cangqingzi watched him leave, then turned to see Wuwei gazing towards the direction of Qingyun Realm.

"Why? Do you have acquaintances within Qingyun Realm?"

Wuwei nodded, "Yes, but the main business is more important, Immortal Monarch, please."

Before meeting Jiang Yuebai, Wuwei still needed to visit the Observatory to investigate some matters.

*

At the central plaza of the Qingyun Realm.

"Ahhh~~ I’m so hungry! I want to eat people!!"

Jiang Yuebai lay on the floor, so hungry her eyes were hazy, almost seeing her deceased great-grandmother. She had eaten everything edible in her storage ring, and rummaged through Lu Nanzhi’s storage bracelet.

Inhaling air won’t fill you up!

The excessive bodily depletion made her long-repressed hunger resurface. Jiang Yuebai was secretly scratching at the plaza floor, almost wishing she could dig out and eat the floor itself.

"Anan, save me, I’m really so hungry ahhh~~"

Jiang Yuebai groaned in pain, and Lu Nanzhi, holding her own bracelet, took out a worn-out sword sheath and handed it to Jiang Yuebai.

"Why don’t you gnaw on this first? I’ll go find Xie Jingshan to get you something."

Lu Nanzhi left, while Jiang Yuebai lay flat on the ground, placing the worn sword sheath in her mouth and biting it hard enough to leave teeth marks.

At this moment, a shadow descended from above, followed by a yellow robe hem swept over her head, lifted by the wind.

Jiang Yuebai raised her eyes, seeing Pei Shengyue, who had regained her splendor, with her arms crossed and head tilted, scrutinizing her.

"Jiang Yuebai of the Heavenly Inference Sect, dare to battle me?!"

Jiang Yuebai flipped over and sat up, removing the worn sword sheath from her mouth, snorted, "Pei Shengyue of the Golden Wave Sect, you’re already dead, what’s the point of fighting!"

Pei Shengyue choked, then said, "As if you aren’t dead yourself! Do you dare to accept the challenge or not!"

Jiang Yuebai remained as steady as a mountain, twirling the broken sword sheath in her hand.

"You think being called ’Shengyue’ means you can really beat me? Look at how you got beaten like a dog by the Demon Clan earlier, hmph~"

Pei Shengyue instinctively straightened her posture; it was because she had repeatedly suffered setbacks in previous trials while Jiang Yuebai stole the limelight, that she must defeat Jiang Yuebai to regain her rightful glory!

"Stop arguing! The Qingyun Conference has only three rounds, two have already passed, and the third round will be a martial arena battle where you and I will fight openly and fairly!"

As soon as she finished, Pei Shengyue saw Lu Nanzhi returning.

"And you, see you on the arena!"

After speaking, Pei Shengyue turned and left, not giving Jiang Yuebai and others a chance to refuse.

Lu Nanzhi smiled faintly and said "Alright" softly.

Jiang Yuebai jumped up to grab the storage ring from Lu Nanzhi’s hand, finding it filled with Spirit Stones, she smiled gleefully.

Indeed, at times like this, it’s still reliable to find Xie Jingshan!

She wiped a Spirit Stone clean and threw it into her mouth, grabbing a handful with each hand to frantically absorb while mumbling, "I wonder what the rules are for entering the third round; we’ve all been ’dead,’ what if it doesn’t count as passing?"

At this moment, Immortal Monarch Fatian, clad in an Eight Diagram Daoist Robe, appeared in the sky above the plaza, his voice like a great bell.

"Congratulations to everyone for passing the second round of the Qingyun Conference trials!"

Jiang Yuebai’s cheeks puffed as she looked up at Immortal Monarch Fatian, realizing he looked nothing like the shabby old fortune teller she met in Xiiyun City, Doumu Realm.

That fortune teller was shabby, while Immortal Monarch Fatian had crane-like hair and child-like complexion, truly looking like the Immortal she imagined in her childhood.

Immortal Monarch Fatian found Jiang Yuebai among the crowd, glanced at her, and nodded slightly, apparently satisfied with this little stranger’s performance in the trial.

After the crowd quieted down, Immortal Monarch Fatian waved his wide sleeves, and streaks of golden light appeared out of nowhere, outlining one name after another.

Jiang Yuebai quickly scanned through, seeing all ten of their Heavenly Inference Sect members were on the list, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking more closely, she noticed many who had escaped successfully hadn’t made the list, such as Jing Quan of the True Martial Immortal Sect, who was pacing back and forth checking the names, his face ashen.

Conversely, several cultivators who had sacrificed themselves to save others at the beginning had their names listed.

Jiang Yuebai felt assured; it seemed these Immortal Monarchs weren’t blind and had indeed been watching the trial process closely, accurately identifying the opportunistic slackers and ensuring no heroic soul sacrificed in vain.

"This is the list for advancing to the third round. Those on the list will receive compensation from the Immortal Alliance for losses incurred during the trial, after the Qingyun Conference. You all have a ten-day rest period; the martial arena battle will officially begin. The top three in this Nascent Soul Stage martial arena battle will receive additional rewards, strive hard everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, bright light blossomed beneath everyone’s feet, their vision blurred briefly, and they were all transmitted back to the periphery of the Qingyun Realm, to the outposts of each respective sect and family.
