Chapter 795: Chapter 739: Victorious at the Outset (Bonus Chapter for 3,000 July Yue Tickets)

After asking Tang Weimian, Jiang Yuebai came to know that the Demon Detection Array was extremely complex.

It was so complex that Shi Xiaowu calculated over a hundred pages under Tang Weimian’s guidance but still couldn’t make sense of it. The deeper he calculated, the more changes appeared within the array.

Shi Xiaowu was stubborn and insisted on figuring it out. In the end, it was Tang Weimian who invited Lii Jiuchuan over, who then took care of things and sent Shi Xiaowu back to seclusion for recovery.

"Don’t worry, Senior Sister Jiang, it must have been my overthinking. That Demon Detection Array has been verified by the Nine Great Immortal Alliances and has never failed in over a hundred years. It must be flawless."

Jiang Yuebai frowned, "No, if you say there’s a problem, I’d feel more comfortable. The more you claim there’s no problem, guarantee there’s no problem, I’m just feeling eerie about it!"

Tang Weimian said, "Then what should we do now? We can’t even contact Junior Brother Xiaowu. Should I find my senior brother? He often hangs out with Junior Brother Xiaowu, maybe he can figure it out too!"

"Let me think about it first."

Jiang Yuebai searched through her mind. She had seen books about the establishment of the Qingyun Realm under Immortal Monarch Chongmin. Qingyun Realm was modeled after the legendary Four Pillars that held up the sky, supported by four Heaven Pillars, with the realm divided into three layers internally, used as trial grounds for the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation.

Like the second trial, the Transmission Array was also established at the location of the four Heaven Pillars.

Normally, these four Heaven Pillars could channel between each layer of the Qingyun Realm, but they remain closed unless necessary.

The arena battles are mostly hosted without a Great Power Cultivator, and everything is communicated directly through the Sea of Consciousness.

A Mahayana Immortal Monarch is truly domineering.

Dong——

The Ancient Bell resounded again, marking the official start of the first round of the arena battles.

Jiang Yuebai was reflecting when suddenly some rules for arena competition were transmitted to her Sea of Consciousness, feeling just like the past sensation of the Immortal Cultivation Panel.

A sudden thought struck Jiang Yuebai, making her shiver. Could it be that Lu Xingyun was behind the establishment of Qingyun Realm?

Impossible, right?

Jiang Yuebai suppressed the thought. Now she had a feeling like when her mother used to tell her ghost stories as a child, the kind where if you keep reciting a ghost’s name, the ghost can sense you, find you, and kill you!

Therefore, Jiang Yuebai dared not keep thinking, only hoping for Wuwei Mountain Man to quickly meet her and explain Lu Xingyun’s true intentions and the whole story. The unknown is the scariest thing.

The arena battle rules were mostly similar, only two were added: no use of Recovery Elixirs and no use of Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

Jiang Yuebai’s ears perked up, her peripheral vision catching Li Shenzhi not far away, angrily gritting his teeth and cursing, as if he’d lost his livelihood.

Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment and guessed that Li Shenzhi planned on continuously swallowing Elixirs on the stage to drag the fight, but now the restriction has removed a means of survival for him.

He truly was unlucky!

As for Acquired Spiritual Treasures, though they targeted those protected by a Mahayana Immortal Monarch, it was understandable.

After all, once a Domain is activated, the battle is basically over.

Spiritual Treasures, not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators, even Divinity Transformation cultivators find them hard to withstand.

As for Spiritual Artifacts, with caution, there’s still a chance to resist.

Jiang Yuebai spoke a word to Tang Weimian and continued recalling information about the Qingyun Realm while wandering around.

She was in the third batch, and it was still early.

The fierce battles on each arena already began. There was a Protection Array around each arena, and the aftermath of the Battle Method wouldn’t affect the spectators outside.

Jiang Yuebai strolled around and asked Shi Yuming and the others, surprisingly finding out that those listed as key focus candidates—those absolute elites—didn’t encounter each other.

This luck was too bizarre, and Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but look in the direction of the Taibai Realm.

Lu Nanzhi was first on stage, and her opponent was a male Magic Cultivator from the Ziwei Star Alliance. Jiang Yuebai found him familiar, as if he were the person who tragically died in front of her when she just landed in the second trial.

Lu Nanzhi executed one sword strike, and that male cultivator was directly transported off the stage, bewildered.

Her sword was so fast that no one could see it clearly, and the killing intent in it was beyond the usual person’s ability to withstand.

"Good!"

Jiang Yuebai shouted loudly from below, shocking everyone who was still in stupor.

Pei Shengyue and Jiangg Ling’er stood beside her. Jiang Yuebai glanced at them with pride, chin up, reveling in her own delight.

Pei Shengyue was indeed surprised, quickly coming to terms and giving Lu Nanzhi a deep look, then pulling Jiangg Ling’er to leave together.

The other members of the Heavenly Interence Sect also triumphed, none of their opponents exceeding Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

Ge Yuchan, like Lu Nanzhi, ended her match with one stroke, while Yuu Qiuqi exchanged over a hundred rounds with her opponent. Fang Yuxing deliberately concealed his strength, also finishing after a hundred rounds.

Shen Huaxi filled himself with various status boosts, becoming nearly indomitable and unkillable, with his extensive use of treatment and restorative spells dazzling his opponent until they conceded in exhaustion, swearing under their breath.

On the contrary, Muh Wushuang’s fiery temper opened the stage with a powerful array, thunder and flames rampaging fiercely to secure victory.

Tang Weimian almost stumbled at the start due to indecision on which array to choose, barely avoiding defeat with a last-minute instinctual throw of an Array Plate, hitting his opponent in the face.

Once the Great Array was established, the Array Master was practically invincible, winning after nearly three hundred rounds.

Wenn Jian, with his sharp and clever words, wielded Confucian Dao methods that left his opponent defenseless, securing an easy victory.

As Jiang Yuebai prepared to enter the stage, she wondered if defeating the enemy in three moves would be disrespectful and considered whether two moves might be better.

Then a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul female cultivator came up, her eyes gleaming with excitement, saying to Jiang Yuebai, "Senior Sister Jiang... It was you who saved me in the last round. I admire you so much, can we take a picture together to remember it?"

Jiang Yuebai scratched her head, truly without memory of this female cultivator. Did she save her?

"Don’t worry, I have no ulterior motives, and I’m not your match at all. I just... just... really, really, really like you..."

Saying this, the female cultivator began to cry.

This left Jiang Yuebai at a loss. She quickly put away the Taihe Umbrella and went over to offer comfort, taking pictures with her and even giving her one of the Five Thunder Beads she made herself.

The female cultivator was flushed with excitement, conceding from the stage, practically floating as she walked away.

Zhuo Qingfeng and Xie Jingshan, who had specifically come to watch Jiang Yuebai’s match, turned their heads simultaneously, squinting at the female cultivator’s departing back with thoughtful expressions...

The nine members of the Heavenly Interence Sect finished their matches and all unconsciously gathered beneath Li Shenzhi’s stage.

Even Zhuo Qingfeng’s group from the Guiyuan Sword Sect, the Zhuge Family, and Xie Jingshan pushed through the crowd to the front.

Xie Jingshan shouted from below, "Li Shenzhi, beat Xing Tuozi!"

Li Shenzhi sighed, his heart weary. He actually wanted to admit defeat because he knew his capabilities; with so many experts ahead, he couldn’t break into the top three.

Only the top three received rewards; the rest would just gain some fame.

Fame was as fleeting as clouds to him, and continuing to fight would cost him loads of his precious belongings.

It wasn’t worth a losing trade at all!

However...

Looking at those expectant eyes below, Li Shenzhi felt his blood gradually boil, and a desire not to let everyone down emerged from his heart.

He wiped his face and turned toward Xing Tuozi, who had just stepped onto the stage.

Come on, if it’s a fight, let it be a fight. Who knows who will die!
