The cultivators above the sky were roughly divided into two major factions. The western faction was led by the Southern Heaven Holy Land, and all of them wore long dresses and were extremely beautiful.
As for the east side, it was led by disciples of the Mysterious Heaven Hall dressed in white, including both old and young.
" Old Daoist Xuantian, this woman was first discovered by our Southern Heaven Holy Land. Is your Mysterious Heaven Hall planning to oppose our Southern Heaven Holy Land by doing this?" The cultivator from the Southern Heaven Holy Land in the west spoke first.
The speaker wore a light blue dress, had long hair that reached her waist, and a stunningly beautiful face. However, her expression was cold, and her gaze was icy as she looked up at the white-robed old Daoist opposite her.
The Southern Heaven Holy Maiden's robes fluttered without wind, signaling the imminent outbreak of a great battle.
The white-robed old Daoist standing opposite the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden appeared much more composed, holding a whisk and wearing a faint smile.
The Southern Heaven Holy Maiden wore a hint of resentment on her face. If it weren't for the fact that both of them were at the Late Great Emperor Realm, she would have already taken action to suppress them directly.
That mere Mysterious Heaven Hall dares to compete with their Southern Heaven Holy Land for people? They must have a death wish.
" Southern Heaven Holy Maiden, you can't say that." The white-robed old Daoist opened his mouth leisurely, his tone exuding an indescribable ease.
"In our cultivation world, when has anyone ever been chosen based solely on seniority? If it were truly a matter of seniority, I am a hundred years older than you, so I should be the one to choose first!"
"I think the little girl, Zhu Ou, is quite good-looking and suits my taste perfectly. It just so happens that I haven't had a disciple for so many years, so it's perfect for her to inherit my mantle."
"Surely the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden wouldn't refuse such a small request?"
The Old Daoist Xuantian spoke in a tone that combined reason and emotion, but his true intention was to take the young girl into the Mysterious Heaven Hall.
Upon hearing this, the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden immediately sneered. This old Daoist was only a few hundred years older than her, yet his skin was hundreds of times thicker.
The Southern Heaven Holy Maiden coldly replied, "What do you think?"
At this moment, the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden no longer stood on ceremony with the Old Daoist Xuantian, and her spiritual power burst forth.
"Do you perhaps wish to have another match with me to see who is stronger? Old Daoist Xuantian, don't forget how you were defeated in that battle a hundred years ago!"
Upon hearing this, the Old Daoist Xuantian's lips twitched slightly, and his usually calm and composed face couldn't help but blush. His image of being a dignified immortal had been so easily shattered by the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden.
Fortunately, the Old Daoist Xuantian was thick-skinned, so this level of arguing was nothing to him, and he quickly suppressed his change in Old Daoist Xuantian.
"Things are different now. In the past hundred years, my Mysterious Heaven Art has reached the Great Perfection realm. Even if I were to fight you, what would that amount to? Or have you already decided how you will lose?"
Old Daoist Xuantian spoke up, unwilling to admit defeat, but his momentum was clearly weaker than that of the Southern Heaven Holy Land.
"My chances of winning are at least 70-80%, but I advise you to be careful," the Old Daoist Xuantian added at the end.
Upon hearing this, the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden almost burst out laughing, her exquisite face displaying a half-smile as she looked at the Old Daoist Xuantian.
"Is that so? Seventy or eighty percent? In that case, let's stop wasting time and have another match. This Holy Maiden wants to see what skills you, an old Daoist priest, have to defeat me!"
"Boom!"
After she finished speaking, a powerful spiritual pressure was released from the body of the Xuan Tian Saintess, and the terrifying pressure made the entire small world tremble.
Within a short period of time, the small world trembled uncontrollably, and countless cracks appeared in the void, as if it were in danger of collapsing at any moment.
Fortunately, two forces were injected into the void in time, stabilizing the small world.
Seeing this, the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden withdrew her hand, frowning slightly. "It's not convenient here. Let's go outside and have a fight!"
"Whoever wins gets to keep the little girl!"
Seeing this, the Old Daoist Xuantian nodded. "Fight then, do you think I'm afraid of you!"
"Buzz..."
A soft sound rang out in the void. Just as the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden and the Old Daoist Xuantian were about to go out and fight three hundred rounds, the Primordial Rankings above the Nine Heavens suddenly emitted a buzzing sound. Although the sound was faint, it attracted everyone's attention.
As powerful beings at the Great Emperor Realm, both the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden and the Old Daoist Xuantian were naturally aware of the movement on the Primordial Rankings. They immediately frowned.
"What kind of trouble is this damn thing going to cause this time!" Old Daoist Xuantian thought to himself, but in reality, he did nothing.
Both the Old Daoist Xuantian and the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden attached great importance to the Primordial Rankings and the Primordial Hall behind it.
Although the Primordial Hall has not yet made its appearance, the energy it represents is extremely terrifying.
A force capable of spanning four star regions— the Mortal Star Domain, the Wind and Cloud Star Domain, the Big Dipper Star Domain, Southern Heaven Star Domain— is not to be underestimated; none of them dare to ignore it lightly.
Even when the two of them came out, their respective Holy Lord and Palace Masters had given them instructions to be extremely careful and not to provoke the Primordial Hall for no reason.
As the Old Daoist Xuantian Southern Heaven Holy Maiden were looking at the Primordial Rankings, a piece of information suddenly appeared in the mind of the little girl standing in the middle.
The little girl was slightly taken aback at first, but then a happy smile couldn't help but appear on her face.
The smile on the face of a little girl with dirty cheeks evoked pity, but most of the cultivators present were not ordinary people and naturally did not react to it.
A childish voice rang out within the city. " The Primordial Rankings... I... I need to use Starry Sky Teleportation... Anyway... I need to get out of here first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a beam of white light fell on the little girl. The Southern Heaven Holy Maiden and the Old Daoist Xuantian in mid-air naturally noticed this change in the little girl, and immediately abandoned their battle and turned back.
"How dare you snatch someone from my grasp! You're courting death!"
"Leave this place for me!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two terrifying spiritual energies were instantly unleashed. The Southern Heaven Holy Maiden and the Old Daoist Xuantian attacked almost simultaneously, grabbing at the little girl's arm.
The terrifying spiritual power almost sealed off the entire space of the small world, but unfortunately... it was completely useless.
The white light surrounding the little girl remained unchanged. In the end, nothing the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden and the Old Daoist Xuantian did could change anything. They couldn't even touch the little girl's arm; all they saw was the fear in her eyes.
Then, a flash of white light, and the little girl vanished from the spot.
This sudden turn of events clearly caught both the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden and the Old Daoist Xuantian off guard. The two, who had just threatened to fight, now looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
