The Heavenly Court Sect Makes Its Entrance

As a sword spirit that has become sentient, Mingtai's swordsmanship talent is comparable to Lu Yang's. He was invincible in the early Golden Core stage competition, except for the disciples of the immortal sect and the genius who was suspected of having scattered his cultivation and had to start over, which put him in a tough battle.

Even these prodigies were all defeated by his superb swordsmanship. Although their cultivation was still low, they already possessed the power to break through all laws with a single sword!

Mingtai was the winner of the early Golden Core stage group.

Mingtai stood on the arena, his palms level with his chest, and shyly waved his little hand to Elder Sikong.

In the sunlight, Mingtai's figure shone brightly, as if cast in gold.

"Seeing Mingtai is like seeing Lu Yang's shadow." Meng Jingzhou sighed, his eyes reddening as he recalled the glorious past, feeling very sad. It was clear that he and Lu Yang had a deep bond.

"What a pity. Lu Yang was such a good person, how could he..."

Meng Jingzhou was speechless, and then burst into tears.

Bai Ming: "..."

He kindly asked, "Why don't you cry first, and I'll go on stage for you?"

The mid-stage Golden Core competition has begun, Meng Jingzhou is the first to participate.

Meng Jingzhou wiped away his tears, his expression resolute. "No need. Lu Yang can't participate in the competition, but I will carry on Lu Yang's will and forge ahead. I'm sure he thinks the same way if he's watching from heaven."

After saying that, Meng Jingzhou stepped onto the arena, each step extremely heavy, as if he were carrying some kind of mission.

In the stands, Lu Yang considered whether he could abuse his power for personal gain and rule that bastard Meng Jingzhou would lose outright.

"Meng Jingzhou of the Ask Dao Sect."

"Meizong, Ye Mengyin."

Meng Jingzhou's opponent is Ye Mengyin, True Disciple of the Mei Sect, one of the top-tier sects.

Ye Mengyin wore a clean, flowing long dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her temperament was ethereal. She was a fairy admired by countless people.

Her seductive skills were outstanding among her peers; every frown and gesture could arouse the deepest desires in a man's heart. Even women with weak willpower could be bewitched.

Ye Mengyin's voice was charming and sweet; her self-introduction was so captivating it could melt anyone's bones.

"Senior brother, please go easy on me, I can't take much force."

Ye Mengyin looked at Meng Jingzhou with a pitiful expression, secretly using her charm. In the city-level and state-level competitions, she only said a few words, but she bewitched her opponent and made him admit defeat.

"Why don't you just admit defeat? I don't discriminate between men and women when I fight." Meng Jingzhou looked at Ye Mengyin with a smile. Whether it was a man, a woman, or Lu Yang, he wouldn't hold back.

Meng Jingzhou's eyes were clear, showing no sign of being bewitched.

Ye Mengyin was surprised. Since her debut, she had never seen a cultivator of the same realm who was completely unaffected by seductive arts.

Even the most outstanding talents would have to be distracted to resist seductive arts, unlike Meng Jingzhou who was completely unaffected.

As expected of someone from the Ask Dao Sect, they truly possess some skill.

Before the finals officially began, she strolled around the shopping street, participated in the activities, and heard Meng Jingzhou's so-called "cultivating immortality requires being single, and women are all just pretty skeletons" remarks.

She dismissed this with disdain, assuming that Meng Jingzhou simply hadn't met her yet.

The seductive sect monks had a history of seducing temple monks and causing them to leave the monastery.

Ye Mengyin took out the guqin from her storage ring and gently plucked the strings. The music was soothing and smooth, like a gentle breeze, so tender that even the cultivators below the stage were captivated.

She is a rare audio engineer.

With the music of the zither combined with her seductive arts, and the First-Grade Golden Core she had condensed—the Desire-Burning Pill—no one in the same realm could rival her!

Besides Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, Man Gu Ting, Bai Ming, and Yan Tianzhi...

"Six Heaven-Shaking Techniques!" Meng Jingzhou shouted, his voice drowning out the sound of the zither. He strode forward, his golden fists slicing through the air and sparking.

With both single Golden Core circulating, no seductive arts had any effect.

The only threat to him was the sound of the zither, which slowed his steps and made him move more slowly. As a body cultivator, he was strong, and even Lu Yang did not dare to confront him head-on.

This level of control was negligible for him, having little effect.

Ye Mengyin didn't expect that her proud moves would have no effect on Meng Jingzhou. Before she could react, she saw a fist the size of a sandbag slam into her face, and she fell to the ground with a thud. Just hearing the sound made her wince in pain.

Meng Jingzhou won.

"Little sister, are you alright?" Meng Jingzhou kindly helped Ye Mengyin up. During the competition, they were opponents, so they had to be ruthless. After the competition, they were fellow cultivators helping each other.

Ye Mengyin gazed at Meng Jingzhou with deep affection. This was the first time she had encountered such a powerful male cultivator. In the past, all the male cultivators she had met had been obsequious to her, afraid that she would discover something about them.

Meng Jingzhou, however, showed no reaction to her whatsoever.

"When I entered the Dao, I swore an oath in the name of my sect that I would marry whoever defeated me."

"This is so inconvenient..." Meng Jingzhou smiled sheepishly, his luck with women had come so suddenly.

Ye Mengyin gently shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with it. Our sect also has rules: sect disciples cannot marry disciples of the Ask Dao Sect, nor can they marry members of the Meng family."

"Master said that marrying into either of these families would easily cause trouble for the sect."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

What did my Meng family ever do to offend you? You didn't even bother to inquire in the Imperial City. Our Meng family has a good reputation, though it's not the best, but we're certainly not as bad as the Ask Dao Sect!

Forget it, I won't think about it too much. As long as we can win, that's all that matters.

He got off to a great start, and walked off the stage beaming with pride, showing off to Bai Ming and the others.

"You saw what I did just now, right? I took him down with one punch."

"Impressive! I'm always hesitant and timid when fighting female cultivators, afraid of hitting the wrong spot and being mistaken for a hooligan. It seems I need to learn from Senior Brother Meng." Bai Ming clapped his hands, having learned a lot from Meng Jingzhou.

He used to be too concerned about saving face, which was really wrong of him.

"Amazing." Yan Tianzhi said succinctly.

The competition went on round after round, and Bai Ming and Lan Ting passed smoothly. Their strength was clearly much higher than that of other cultivators at the same level.

"It seems the ultimate winner of this group will be one of the four of us," Meng Jingzhou said.

"We can't jump to conclusions so easily." Bai Ming shook his head and pointed to the cultivators standing on the platform.

"As you've seen in the previous competitions, there are cultivators who can rival our immortal sect, including those in the mid- Golden Core stage."

"See this cultivator on the arena? He's from Yunzhou. He stood out in the Yunzhou competition, displaying exceptional combat talent, strong adaptability, and a solid foundation with no weaknesses. He hasn't fallen behind in cultivating his spiritual power, which is the most difficult to master. His Golden Core should be the Devouring Golden Core, a first-grade Golden Core, capable of devouring the opponent's spiritual power during battle."

Just as the group was whispering among themselves, Lang Lang's loud laughter came from above.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a boy leaped from the air and landed on the ring, interrupting the match.

"How could the Heavenly Court Sect be absent from such a lively scene?"

Several figures still stood in the clouds, all exuding a terrifying aura.

The second update will be at 11 PM.
