But more names had not appeared, not because they had failed, but because they had already perished in this Starry Sky Beyond Heaven.
Besides the arena matches, the competition rules also included the portion involving contemplation and exploration of the starry sky and its worlds.
The latter was the somewhat hidden purpose of this Academy Grand Competition.
Thinking of the Dharma Combat between those two, Lu Qing smiled and briefly set aside his musings.
In any case, they were both backers behind the two Sons of the Human Emperor. No major conflict would arise.
By now, even Lu Qing could clearly see that the arrival of Nine Heavens cultivators had, to a certain extent, suppressed the old conflicts among these Human Path lineages.
Moreover, the arrival of Nine Heavens cultivators also meant that if the years of the Nine Heavens and the Humanity Heaven of Universe became connected, many other conflicts would likely be diverted as well.
Yet for now, Lu Qing did not particularly sense that the connection between this Heaven of Universe and the Nine Heavens was steadily drawing closer.
This closeness was gradually emerging, but to Lu Qing, it felt exceedingly slow.
Thinking of the peculiar nature of this Starry Sky Beyond Heaven,
Lu Qing was not surprised that those great figures who sought the Dao would act to temporarily delay this connection through time.
If an overly extraordinary forbidden zone were discovered in the Starry Sky Beyond Heaven, it would likely not be so easy to allow this starry sky to return to the Nine Heavens.
Remnant Immortals were ultimately uncontrollable, and likewise incomparably dangerous.
At the very least, until they found where those final several peak Divine-Power Immortals of the River of Time had vanished, this Heaven of Universe would remain stationed here.
