First-Round Opponent: Five Luminaries Palace! (4K)

"Damn it, I'm actually the Imperial Son's opponent in the first round."

Zhu Tianze, the Yaochi Saint, had a face as red as Pig Liver.

His opponent was the strongest, Imperial Son Ku.

Zhu Tianze exclaimed that he was incredibly unlucky.

A Grand Supreme Elders of the Yaochi Holy Land, who was also Zhu Tianze's master, patted Zhu Tianze on the shoulder. "Little Ze, don't think about advancing anymore. Just do your best."

Liu Mufeng, Feng Qing'er, and the Yaochi Holy Mother, all experts from Yaochi, nodded in agreement.

Zhu Tianze is currently only at the Immortal Emperor Third Stage; how could he possibly rival the Heavenly Emperor's Son?

Imperial Son Ku was already Great Perfection Immortal Emperor Ten Thousand Years Ago.

Ten thousand years have passed, and the Imperial Son has most likely already reached the God King Realm.

The Yaochi Holy Land is not without its Peerless Genius. For example, the Immortal Maiden Yuehua, the most favored Personal Disciple the Yaochi Holy Mother millions of years ago, and Liu Yiyi, who possessed Immortal Spirit Sacred Body before she had fully matured.

However, in this Heavenly Court Assembly, Liu Yiyi was only at the Immortal Emperor Third Stage, and her combat strength was only slightly higher than Zhu Tianze's.

Yaochi Holy Land did not expect the two to compete for a place in the top ten.

The Eight Divine Palaces, along with forces such as the Purple Void Palace, the Taichu Sacred Land, the Primordial Beginning Sacred Land, the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, the Ancient Wind Family, and the High Antiquity Long Household, all sent out Peerless Genius born within the last million years.

The Yaochi Holy Land suffered heavy losses in the Demon Realm, its vitality greatly diminished. The Yaochi Holy Mother lost her disciple, Immortal Maiden Yuehua, and is now mainly nurturing Liu Yiyi, the daughter of Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing'er.

"I'm facing someone from the Profound Maiden Palace."

The Saint of Lianshan Holy Land drew the Profound Maiden Palace as his opponent, and everyone couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at him.

All sixteen geniuses from the Eight Divine Palaces have a chance to break into the top ten.

Whoever draws them in the first round is very likely to not even make it past the first round.

Imperial Son Ku's expression was indifferent.

None of the geniuses from the Eight Divine Palaces were his match; the only person he wanted to defeat was Lu Changsheng.

In his eyes, Zhu Tianze, the Saint of Yaochi Holy Land, was utterly vulnerable.

"Master?"

Chen Yao, representing the Profound Maiden Palace, was greatly surprised to see Lu Changsheng during the draw.

After she Tribulation Transcendence Ascension the Immortal Realm, because she was the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was a High Antiquity Great Expert who established the Profound Maiden Palace, the Profound Maiden Palace quickly found Chen Yao and brought her to the Profound Maiden Palace to cultivate.

I never expected to run into my master at the Heavenly Court Assembly, and my master even became the Taihua Saint.

Lu Changsheng nodded to Chen Yao, clearly recognizing her.

While waiting to go into battle, Chen Yao secretly transmitted her voice to Lu Changsheng: "Master, do you know where my junior brother is?"

He has returned to my tutelage to cultivate; he is still waiting for you.

"My junior brother..."

Chen Yao's delicate body trembled.

Many years later, Lin Qingzhi is still waiting for her to come back.

"However, once a disciple joins the Xuan Profound Maiden Palace, there are many strict rules and regulations, making it very difficult for them to break free."

Chen Yao's tone was tinged with helplessness.

The Profound Maiden Palace found Chen Yao from the very beginning, Chen Yao used a lot of the Profound Maiden Palace's Cultivation Resources, so it's not easy for her to leave at will.

The Profound Maiden Palace is far more powerful than the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The Profound Maiden Palace has nurtured Chen Yao; how could they easily let Chen Yao leave?

When the Taihua Goddess and the Taiyin Goddess left the Profound Maiden Palace, the Profound Maiden Palace's strength declined significantly. Now that it has finally recovered some of its power, how could the Profound Maiden Palace accept the abduction of its carefully nurtured reincarnated Xuan Nu?

Wouldn't the Profound Maiden Palace fight Lu Changsheng to the death?

The Twelve Sword Maidens of the Profound Maiden Palace are not just for show.

The strength of the Twelve Sword Maidens is unfathomable; even the weakest among them is Great Perfection God King.

If the Twelve Sword Maidens were to pursue Lu Changsheng with their swords, even the Taihua Sacred Ground would be unable to protect him.

"You should continue your cultivation at the Profound Maiden Palace. The higher your cultivation level, the more say you will have."

Lu Changsheng did not force Chen Yao to return.

The Profound Maiden Palace is far stronger than the Taihua Sacred Ground, with a profound foundation and abundant Cultivation Resources. It also possesses various Cultivation Method created by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, making it the most suitable for Chen Yao, the reincarnation of the Mystic Maiden, to cultivate.

Staying at the Profound Maiden Palace to cultivate is undoubtedly a better choice for Chen Yao.

Lu Changsheng's Fifth Disciple Ji Xuan, also returned to the Yao Realm to cultivate, because the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan possessed cultivation Cultivation Method and Demon Race treasures more suitable for her.

"Um."

Chen Yao nodded in agreement, but there were some things she didn't tell Lu Changsheng, so as not to worry Lu Changsheng and Lin Qingzhi.

It seems that Profound Maiden Palace is planning a marriage alliance with the Mira Palace.

"Lu Lang, I am number 520."

Xia Ningxue's voice echoed in Lu Changsheng's mind.

Lu Changsheng's number is more than 300 numbers away from Xia Ningxue's, so the two don't need to worry about running into each other in the early rounds.

At this moment, their Avatar were still absorbing Heavenly Dao Will Fragment from the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Ginseng within the Cultivation Space.

"My opponent is the second genius of the Five Luminaries Palace."

Lu Changsheng glanced at the battle list displayed by the Golden-Armored Heavenly General. His opponent was number 187, Tian Hao from the Five Luminaries Palace, one of the sixteen geniuses of the Eight Divine Palaces, and ranked second among the geniuses of the Five Luminaries Palace.

"The Taihua Saint has also drawn a genius from Eight Divine Palaces."

"If anyone else had drawn Eight Divine Palaces, they probably wouldn't have a chance, but the Taihua Saint is the First on the Qilin Ranking and a representative figure of our various Holy Lands. He might be able to defeat the genius of the Eight Divine Palaces."

"Indeed, our great Holy Lands are not to be trifled with."

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you must persevere! Strive to bring honor to our Holy Lands!"

The geniuses from other Holy Lands cheered for Lu Changsheng when they saw that Lu Changsheng was facing off against a genius from the Five Luminaries Palace.

Among the geniuses born in the major Holy Lands within the past million years, Lu Changsheng is definitely a representative figure, and possibly the strongest.

Of course, the various Holy Lands may also have geniuses outside of the Qilin Ranking, or perhaps Peerless Genius from the previous generation of the Qilin Ranking.

Lu Changsheng has a chance of winning against the geniuses of the Eight Divine Palaces.

The Heavenly Court was too domineering, and all the Holy Lands wanted to prove themselves, so they all sided with Lu Changsheng.

Immortal Changliu beard and said to Lin Xuantong, "That Tian Hao is only the second genius of the Five Luminaries Palaces. Your disciple should have a chance to defeat him, right? The number one genius of the Eight Divine Palaces is the real troublemaker. According to the group draw, he will encounter Tian Chengjian, the number one genius of the Five Luminaries Palaces, in the round of sixteen to the Top Eight. I heard that Tian Chengjian has cultivated for 960,000 years, which is longer than your disciple's cultivation time. I'm afraid your disciple will be stopped at the round of sixteen."

"Yeah?"

Lin Xuantong, however, appeared relaxed.

Before arriving at the Heavenly Court, Lu Changsheng had broken through to the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage and fully comprehended the Fourth Sword Realm of "One Sword Across the Ages".

This level of combat prowess is not necessarily inferior to that of Tian Chengjian, the greatest genius born in the Five Luminaries Palace in a million years.

Seeing Lin Xuantong's calm demeanor, the Immortal Changliu asked curiously, "Lin Xuantong, every time you put on that expression, you seem so confident. Tell me quickly, what are your disciple's trump cards?"

Why should I tell you?

"Hateful."

The Immortal Changliu was indignant.

He and Lin Xuantong have always been at odds. Back then, Liu Yue'er, the disciple of the Yaochi Holy Mother, was married by Lin Xuantong, which is why the Immortal Changliu still single. Lin Xuantong is truly his lifelong rival.

Lin Qinghan's opponent is the genius of the Miaoyan Palace.

Miaoyan Palace is not one of the Eight Divine Palaces, but it ranks twenty-third among the One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces, making it a relatively powerful divine Divine Palace.

Lin Qinghan was facing off against the number one genius of the Miaoyan Palace.

Lin Qinghan closed her eyes to rest and adjust herself to her best condition.

Lin Qinghan also wanted to bring glory to Taihua Sacred Ground and Lin Xuantong.

After returning from the Divine Maiden Dao Ruins, Lin Qinghan's aptitude and Dao cultivation improved significantly.

Lin Qinghan is currently at the Immortal Emperor Sixth Stage.

Her cultivation improved so rapidly that even Lin Xuantong was deeply surprised.

Lin Qinghan's cultivation speed is even faster than Lin Xuantong's when he was young.

Xia Ningxue was facing off against Feng Mu from the Ancient Wind Family.

Most people don't have a high opinion of Xia Ningxue.

Feng Mu is the second-ranked genius on the Qilin Ranking. Even if we include other geniuses who are not on the ranking, as well as the geniuses from the previous generation of the Qilin Ranking, Feng Mu can still be ranked among the top few.

However, a few people know that Xia Ningxue and Lu Changsheng joined forces to kill the Devil Lord Wuchang, and that Xia Ningxue's strength is not as simple as her ranking on the Qilin Ranking.

Because the Daoist Chongxu, who is in charge of the Qilin Ranking, is in seclusion, the Qilin Ranking has not been updated for some time.

" In the Group One, Yan Zhiqiu from Kunlun Holy Land will face Li Wendao from the Cloud Tower Palace."

Soon, the Group One began their sparring match.

Two sword cultivators stepped onto the stage.

"Lu Changsheng, now I'll show you the results of my absorption of the dragon vein's energy."

Yan Zhiqiu's aura intensified, and he became like a Divine Sword standing between heaven and earth, its sharpness fully revealed, suppressing the geniuses of the Heavenly Court.

Yan Zhiqiu glanced smugly in Lu Changsheng's direction, as if showing off her strength.

"Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage?"

Lu Changsheng realized that Yan Zhiqiu had already entered the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage.

The Purple Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain really has a knack for training disciples.

Last time, Yan Zhiqiu's cultivation level was far inferior to what it is now.

After ten thousand years, Yan Zhiqiu had actually become a master of the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage.

With his strength greatly increased, Yan Zhiqiu defeated the Cloud Tower Palace opponent with just three sword strikes.

"The Purple Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost Holy Land; it defeated the Heavenly Court's genius with such ease."

"Within a million years, the Kunlun Saint's cultivation has reached the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage. Even I am ashamed of my own cultivation speed."

"Who knows, our Holy Lands might occupy half of the top ten!"

The Holy Land erupted in cheers.

The genius from the Lower Realm achieved a resounding victory, decisively sweeping away the previous gloom.

"A bunch of idiots. Cloud Tower Palace ranks outside the top fifty among all the Divine Palaces. What's so strange about it losing to the Purple Void Palace?"

Tian Chengjian of the Five Luminaries Palace snorted coldly.

The Eight Divine Palaces have not yet made a move.

"The second group, Cloud Mountain Holy Land versus Thunderclap Palace."

Group One of opponents went up on stage to compete, with both sides winning and losing.

The geniuses of the Eight Divine Palaces defeated the geniuses of the Holy Land with fluid and effortless movements.

A shadow has fallen over the geniuses of all the Holy Lands.

The geniuses of the Eight Divine Palaces rarely Lower Realm. Apart from the Imperial Son, who was ranked on the Qilin Ranking by Daoist Chongxu, none of the other geniuses made the list.

Now they are demonstrating their strength; each of them possesses unique skills, and their power is terrifying.

Chen Yao is only the second genius of the Profound Maiden Palace.

Tian Chengjian, the number one genius of the Five Luminaries Palace, defeated Jiang Yue, the number two genius of the Moon Palace, with a single sword strike.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yan Zhiqiu from the Kunlun Holy Land will face Tian Chengjian one round earlier than Lu Changsheng Sheng.

One of these two people could become Lu Changsheng's opponent in the round of 16.

"Group 94, Tian Hao from the Five Luminaries Palace, versus Lu Changsheng from Taihua Mountain."

As the Golden-Armored Heavenly General announced the opponent for this round, the eyes of the Heavenly Court's Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces, Holy Lands, and aristocratic Aristocratic Clan all fell on the two who were about to clash.

"Your opponent is the Taihua Saint, ranked first on the Lower Realm First on the Qilin Ranking. Help me find out his trump cards, and you'll get a share of the credit when I defeat him."

Tian Chengjian looked down on the geniuses of the Lower Realms, but was wary of Lu Changsheng ranked First on the Qilin Ranking.

Although the Qilin Ranking is missing a lot of geniuses from the Heavenly Court, there is still a reason for the First on the Qilin Ranking.

The First on the Qilin Ranking throughout history, as long as he doesn't perish prematurely, can at least become God King, with a high probability of Changsheng Never Dies.

Tian Hao retorted, "I can defeat him without you even lifting a finger."

Tian Hao arrived at the Martial Platform, carrying two Long Swords on his back.

In this sparring match, a maximum of two Law Treasure can be used.

Tian Hao chose two Immortal Swords, seemingly intending to only attack and not defend, aiming to defeat Lu Changsheng with absolute strength.

Lu Changsheng vanished from his seat and appeared on the Martial Platform almost simultaneously, confronting the genius of the Five Luminaries Palace.

"I've heard you're the Peerless Genius ranked first on the Lower Realm's First on the Qilin Ranking, and all the Holy Lands seem to be pinning their hopes on you. But our Heavenly Court is far more powerful than you imagine. You can only stop here; you cannot take another step forward."

Tian Hao crossed his arms in front of his chest, his expression arrogant, giving Lu Changsheng a hard time right from the start.

"..."

Lu Changsheng hadn't even looked down on the other party yet, and the other party was already looking down on him?

"That guy is far too arrogant. Young Friend Lu is the hope of our Holy Lands."

"Young Friend Lu, don't be so polite. Let's teach them a lesson."

The Holy Land were filled with righteous indignation and their emotions were running high.

Tian Hao may look down on other geniuses, but Lu Changsheng is the number one person among Holy Lands, and he absolutely cannot lose to the number two genius of the Eight Divine Palaces.

"Drink!"

With a loud shout, Tian Hao unleashed his full power, spreading out the aura of a peak Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage, sweeping away all obstacles!

Tian Hao activated the Five Luminaries Palace's Cultivation Method, and a holy radiance shone forth, causing the Martial Platform to tremble violently.

"Peak of the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage! Only half a step away from the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage!"

"No wonder the Five Luminaries Palace is so arrogant. Their second genius is already at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage. Then their first genius must be at the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage!"

"This is a bit complicated."

Holy Land and Aristocratic Clan were astonished.

The two geniuses from the Five Luminaries Palace are surprisingly strong.

The True Lords of the Five Luminaries Palace stroked their beards and smiled, quite satisfied with the geniuses born from their Divine Palace.

It's highly likely that Tian Hao will become God King, and it wouldn't be surprising if he becomes Great Expert in the future.

For a normal genius, becoming Immortal Emperor within a million years is already quite good. But for geniuses like Tian Hao from the Eight Divine Palaces, becoming God King within a million years is the only way to possibly join the ranks of the Immortals of Changsheng.

"How about it?"

Tian Hao looked at Lu Changsheng smugly.

Who would have thought that the second genius of the Five Luminaries Palace would actually have the cultivation of the peak of the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage?

Lu Changsheng didn't say much, but simply released his aura.

An aura even larger and purer than Tian Hao's swept across all directions, accompanied by a raging wind, overwhelming Tian Hao.

Tian Hao and the people from the Eight Divine Palaces were all deeply moved.

"Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage!"
