Based on what Chen Qingyu has observed so far:
Venerables at the True Gang Realm and Divine Ability Realm are all allowed to pass by the Eighteen-Family Alliance without any further difficulties.
Occasionally, a Supreme Being of the Heavenly Impulse Realm would arrive with dazzling light, and the leaders of the Eighteen-Family Alliance would respectfully invite them up the mountain.
Their target is the most ordinary and the most widespread Spirit Origin Realm Venerables.
Yes, they are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.
Upon hearing this, Wu Su'e shrugged and said:
But isn't that the most normal thing to do?
In any case, these Venerables from unaffiliated forces have no chance against the Eighteen-Family Alliance.
Any force that can establish itself in the chaotic and powerful Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge is no weak force.
Even the most ordinary of the Eighteen-Family Alliance has a powerful Venerable at the Divine Ability Realm in charge.
The leading families even had Supreme Venerables at the Heavenly Impulse Realm, so even outside Supreme Venerables had to give them some face and wouldn't forcibly dismantle the formation.
The world of spiritual practice is inherently unfair.
These hundreds of thousands of the Spirit Origin Realm Venerables, though seemingly powerful and numerous, could actually be easily crushed into dust by any single Heavenly Impulse Realm Supreme Venerable.
so
Despite the fervor and resentment of so many venerable ones, not one of them dared to actually attack the formation or directly provoke the Eighteen-Family Alliance.
Okay.
Wu Su'e nudged Chen Qingyu with her elbow and said with a grin:
You've been watching the show for ages, aren't you going to join the fray?
Chen Qingyu laughed heartily:
That's exactly what I meant.
In the Supreme Void Dao Realm, he was either fighting against real people, challenging the [ War God Tower ], or battling virtual opponents in the [ Martial Practice Hall ].
He'd been away from the Divine Capital two months and hadn't had a proper fight in a single day; his body was practically rusting.
Make way! Make way, everyone!
Chen Qingyu rode on auspicious clouds, his True Essence surging, and recklessly forced his way in.
The many Venerables who had been forcibly pushed aside by him were about to curse, but after feeling his vast and powerful True Essence aura, they instantly fell silent, daring not to speak their anger.
After squeezing through the crowd for ages:
The two rushed into the innermost part of the crowd, descended directly on auspicious clouds, and landed in front of the gate.
The young man guarding the gate's expression hardened, as if he had realized that these two were no ordinary people.
Do the two want to challenge the Contesting Platform?
The young man's gaze swept over Chen Qingyu and Wu Su'e, and he asked cautiously:
I wonder who's going to take the stage?
Chen Qingyu stepped forward and said casually:
I'll do it.
please.
The young man stepped back, giving way to the large white arena behind him.
Behind the arena, deeper within the array gate, one could vaguely see many people watching from this direction.
Those people were all members of the Eighteen-Family Alliance.
boom!
Chen Qingyu channeled his True Essence, and his figure soared into the air, landing on the white arena.
On the arena, a dashing young man dressed in a blue robe and wearing a hero's scarf was already waiting.
Buzz!
A layer of white light rose up, like an eggshell, enveloping the arena.
Hmm
Chen Qingyu's expression shifted, his eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at the blue-robed youth opposite him.
He had already activated the [ Seeing Through Walls ] technique:
In an instant, he saw through the young man's entire being, including his physical strength, cultivation level, and the circulation of his True Essence.
Although this person is only at the Spirit Origin Realm Third Heaven, his cultivation technique is quite good, second only to the level of profound secret manuals.
No wonder these ordinary venerable ones were all kept outside and unable to advance an inch.
Chen Qingyu understood.
This young man is quite strong. Even ordinary Spirit Origin Realm Venerables, even those at the fifth or sixth level of cultivation, might not be able to defeat him.
This is the advantage of powerful techniques and profound foundational knowledge.
The Canhe Zhang Family, Zhang Tianchu.
The young man in blue opposite him bowed and said:
Your courtesy is impeccable, sir.
Chen Qingyu smiled slightly and said:
Greetings, Chen Qingyu.
The young man below the stage shouted:
The battle begins!
The next moment:
Chen Qingyu's eyes flashed, and his vast True Essence surged within him. He gently raised his hand and pressed down.
He stood still, without moving an inch. With just this one movement, he had actually activated the wind-controlling ability of the [ Summoning Wind and Rain ] supernatural power and cast the Gang Qi Prison.
And opposite him:
The blue-robed youth, Zhang Tianchu, instinctively wanted to unleash his True Essence the moment the battle began, to protect himself immediately, and then use spiritual techniques to seize the opportunity to defeat his opponent.
However
He was horrified to find that he was completely immobilized, frozen in place.
His face flushed red, and he roared inwardly, desperately unleashing his True Essence, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree—utterly futile.
Every inch of air around him seemed to condense, turning into an impenetrable wall that suppressed him, making him feel like a mosquito trapped in amber.
What's going on?
The young man in the audience, unable to see Zhang Tianchu's expression clearly due to his angle, frowned.
Cousin Tianchu, what are you doing?!
Why not take action?
Zhang Tianchu couldn't answer him; his face turned a deep purplish-red.
alright!
A deep voice rang out, and the light screen on the arena instantly vanished.
A middle-aged man with a long beard instantly flew onto the arena, turned to look at Chen Qingyu, and said calmly:
Young Master Chen.
My nephew has already lost; please be lenient with him.
Chen Qingyu smiled slightly:
No problem, no problem.
As he spoke, he subdued the supernatural power of [ Summoning Wind and Rain ] with a thought.
Hoo hoo
Zhang Tianchu, who was opposite him, was suddenly freed from his restraints and knelt down on the ground, panting heavily, a hint of fear showing on his face.
What methods did this person use?
The young man below the arena finally realized what was happening, and his expression changed.
Not only him:
The Eighteen-Family Alliance members behind the gate, and even the many Venerables who witnessed the battle from the outer perimeter, couldn't help but gather together, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
Just who is this person?
Yes! The spiritual arts he used were quite strange; they could actually defeat someone without a fight!
Such bizarre spiritual magic is truly the most I've ever seen in my life.
His surname is Chen, could he be from the Chen Clan of Changluo?
What are you thinking? The Chen Clan of Changluo is famous for its Dao of Stars; they don't have such strange and bizarre methods.
This battle was shrouded in mystery from beginning to end.
However, it was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that the young man who called himself Chen Qingyu possessed unfathomable strength, far surpassing the champion of the first Contesting Platform by many times.
