Chapter 702: 556

Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm.

“It should be now.”

All the King Levels opened their eyes one by one from meditation.

Half a month had passed since the opening of the Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm. The energy on the Heavenly Mountain was faintly unstable now; it was almost time for the outcome.

Since that day when Wang Hao and the other two from the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect came out, only two disciples from Yixian Dao and the Blood Evil Sect had exited the Secret Realm one after another.

The disciple from Yixian Dao had encountered Mei Yu, the Saintess of the Limitless Demon Sect. She was fortunate enough to escape by activating the Moon Disk after failing to contend for the Moon Milk.

The disciple from the Blood Evil Sect had been chased out by someone from the True Yang Sect.

Not only did conflicts occur between Daos and Demons, but there were also clashes among the Daoist sects. It rarely resulted in deaths, and they generally continued collecting Moon Milk inside after a high-stakes showdown.

However, whether they failed in a battle for the Moon Milk or were chased out, they were luckier than those who encountered Tong Ming and Jiang Heng.

No one targeted by those two managed to escape…

And for this reason, apart from the initial intelligence brought out by Wang Hao and the others, the outsiders had no clue about the changes occurring in the Secret Realm.

At this moment, the King Levels of the Blood Evil Sect remained impassive, though a trace of excitement and anticipation rose in their eyes.

“Tong Ming had extraordinary talent, with incredibly rare Power of Soul. By cultivating the Blood Slaughter Saint Body, he should easily collect powerful Blood Puppets. He could secure the first place in the Sword Fighting competition!”

Meanwhile, Ge Qiu from the Taishang Sect maintained a stoic expression, but his heart started racing.

“Jiang Heng cultivated the reverse method of the Heavenly Person Dao Method. With geniuses from various sects in the Secret Realm, he only needed to absorb the Star Sea Energy of less than ten people to reach Radiant Moon.

Though the reversed Heavenly Person Dao Method had flaws, it was the perfect choice to win this Sword Fighting competition…

Once Jiang Heng used this technique to break into Radiant Moon, no one in the Secret Realm could rival him!”

Thinking of this, Ge Qiu couldn’t help but nod slightly, feeling reassured.

As one of the Twelve Supreme Secret Skills of the Taishang Sect, the method of reversing the Heavenly Person Dao Method was not exclusive to Jiang Heng.

Many predecessors had taken this path and perished.

This technique was even more extreme than the Demon Sect’s cultivation techniques, with significant drawbacks.

Cultivators of this technique found their Star Sea dispersed, their minds unstable, and their sins heavy. When breaking through to the Burning Sun, they couldn’t even maintain the Early Sun or Radiant Moon states. There was a ninety-nine percent chance of their Star Sea disintegrating.

In severe cases, they died on the spot; in mild cases, they fell below Gold and had no chance of advancing to the Upper Three-levels.

Most cultivators didn’t even reach the step of breaking through to Burning Sun before going mad.

Therefore, the Heavenly Person Dao Method had long been improved, eliminating parts that could induce the reversal. No one had cultivated the reversed method for hundreds of years.

Helping Jiang Heng comprehend the reversed method before the Sword Fighting competition meant Ge Qiu had regarded him as a pawn.

This was due to the high stakes of this competition.

The six new Tiger Veins; obtaining first place meant getting three, which could cultivate a dozen Burning Sun Level experts.

The Burning Sun Level served as the mainstay of various sects and was generally the top combat power roaming the world.

As for experts above King Level, they were strategic forces, vastly different in strength from Burning Sun, and would not take action easily.

Besides, there was one more crucial point: it was not only the Dragon Vein that could produce King Levels, but Tiger Veins could too!

If an array could link Earth Qi, gathering the power of multiple veins in one place, it could achieve a King Level position.

To achieve this, the basic requirement was three Tiger Veins, which had to be close enough and be original, unmoved veins.

Among the six new Tiger Veins up for distribution, three met these conditions!

Each sect had experts stuck in the Three Suns Realm. If they could secure first place in the Sword Fighting competition to claim the three Tiger Veins, another King Level expert would likely emerge soon. This made the Sword Fighting competition crucial!

At Demon Sky Palace, Zhou Yun kept glancing back and forth between the King Levels of the Blood Evil Sect and Ge Qiu. It was certain these two had made some preparations.

“According to the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect disciple, Zhong Xiu of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect was made into a Blood Puppet by the Blood Evil Sect’s disciples. With one person missing, the Moon Milk they collected should be limited.

The Blood Puppets of the Blood Evil Sect were not as strong as their original bodies. With Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye’s skills, they shouldn’t be outmatched by those Blood Evil Sect disciples, and escaping shouldn’t be hard.

At last, there’s still the Taishang Sect…

Though Jiang Heng is not significant, Zhang Chunyi and Mu Kexian are extremely outstanding, not inferior to Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye.

Moreover, who knows what trump card Old Ge still holds…”

Zhou Yun frowned slightly, continuously weighing the strengths of each faction.

However, Zhou Yun didn’t give much thought to “Qin Lianyun.” To Zhou Yun, as long as Qin Lianyun performed adequately and didn’t drag the team down, it would suffice.

At that moment, the light at the entrance of the Secret Realm suddenly shone brightly.

“They’re coming out!”

Disciples from various factions looked over excitedly. After so many days, the results were finally here!

White light flashed continuously. Rays of milky white light shot out of the entrance, turning into disciples of the Ten Sects.

Five Directions Temple, Yixian Dao, True Yang Sect…

As these disciples emerged, the Moon Disk’s light flickered. Rays of finger-thick brilliance rose from it, making it clear at a glance how many drops of Moon Milk were gathered.

“Five Directions Temple’s Cao Kong, four drops of Moon Milk.”

“Yixian Dao’s Bai Jinghua, six drops of Moon Milk.”

“True Yang Sect’s Li Bing, four drops of Moon Milk.”

…

“The Moon Milk from this Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm is indeed more abundant than in previous years.”

“Yes, in the past, most disciples collected three or four drops. Now, the minimum is four drops, and Yixian Dao’s Bai Jinghua even collected six drops. As expected of a master in deduction techniques.”

“It’s a pity about Mo Zhe Mei, otherwise, they could have collected more Moon Milk. Combined, the three disciples of Yixian Dao could have even collected twenty drops!”

“That may not be the case. I think it’s not as simple as you think.”

“…”

Everyone engaged in lively discussion. After three disciples came out in a row, things suddenly came to a halt.

Ten minutes later, a white light flashed, and a purple figure appeared.

“It’s Mei Yu from the Limitless Demon Sect!”

“She chased out the people from Five Directions Temple, so she should have collected a lot of Moon Milk inside.”

Mei Yu glanced at the Moon Disk in front of her. Then, a dense cluster of white light rose from it, visibly containing more than a dozen beams.

“Limitless Demon Sect’s Mei Yu, twelve drops of Moon Milk!”

This was the first person to have more than ten drops of Moon Milk, stunning everyone.

Twelve drops of Moon Milk were more than what an entire sect typically collected in the past!

The elderly King Level of the Limitless Demon Sect nodded slightly in approval.

However, Mei Yu’s expression was somewhat solemn as she put away the Moon Disk and quickly headed toward the Limitless Demon Sect.

“What’s wrong, Mei Yu?” the elderly woman asked.

Frowning, Mei Yu replied, “Grand Elder, I feel something is off within the Secret Realm.”

“What exactly is off?”

After a moment of reflection, Mei Yu shook her head: “I cannot say for sure, it just feels… The karma seems heavy in certain places. Moreover, despite using the Nine Spirit Secret Technique, I couldn’t find Wei Jun and the others…”

Hearing this, the elderly woman understood what Mei Yu implied. In essence, it meant that a lot of people had died inside, and Wei Jun and the others might be among them!

The elderly woman’s eyes showed contemplation. Then she waved a hand: “Alright, you may go.”

“Yes!”

…

After Mei Yu came out, another person soon followed.

A disciple from the Blood Evil Sect named Chen Jia, five drops of Moon Milk.

After that, twenty minutes passed. A flash of light revealed a graceful figure in the field.

She wore a robe adorned with golden lotuses, looking elegant and exquisite like an immortal.

“Mu Kexian is out!”

After such a long wait, at last, a disciple from one of the Three Great Sects had emerged.

Ge Qiu, Zhou Yun, and various King Levels all watched closely.

Mu Kexian possessed extraordinary talent and immense strength. She rose to prominence alongside Feng Xuanqing as a supernova.

Compared to Feng Xuanqing, who frequently traveled outside the sect, Mu Kexian, who rarely left the sect, appeared more mysterious to outsiders.

Not only male disciples but many female disciples were also fascinated by Mu Kexian’s graceful figure and cold, stunning beauty.

At that moment, beams of brilliance rose from the Moon Disk in front of Mu Kexian.

Everyone anticipated being amazed, but to their surprise, there were only three beams.

“Three drops of Moon Milk? Is something wrong with Senior Sister Mu’s Moon Disk?”

Taishang Sect’s disciples were stunned. How could Mu Kexian have collected only three drops of Moon Milk!

Paying no attention to the onlookers, Mu Kexian expressionlessly put away the Moon Disk and unconsciously glanced toward Demon Sky Palace.

Has he not come out yet…

Why do I care about him?

Subconsciously raising an eyebrow, Mu Kexian quickly composed herself. The most urgent task now was to inform Ge Qiu of what had happened in the Secret Realm.

Mu Kexian quickly returned to the Taishang Sect’s ranks.

“Senior Ge.”

Ge Qiu raised an eyebrow: “Only three drops of Moon Milk? Explain what happened.”

Ge Qiu was deeply displeased with Mu Kexian’s performance.

Though there were Chou Wuliang and the trump card Jiang Heng, the outcome of the Sword Fighting competition was still uncertain. Mu Kexian’s performance might hinder the Taishang Sect’s chances.

But Mu Kexian’s next words not only clarified that she hadn’t underperformed, but also brought Ge Qiu’s spirits crashing down.

Mu Kexian cupped her hands: “Senior Ge, Senior Brother Chou and Jiang Heng are both dead.”

Ge Qiu’s pupils contracted. Then, like an abyss, an overwhelming and terrifying pressure suddenly exploded!

“Senior Ge!”

Several Burning Sun Elders beside him exclaimed and quickly used their Star Power to shield the Taishang Sect disciples behind them.

In just an instant, Mu Kexian, who was facing Ge Qiu, turned pale and groaned. Many disciples behind her immediately fell unconscious.
