Meanwhile, inside the airship.
The spirit shuttle is divided into internal and external parts.
Duan Nianwei disliked being cooped up indoors, so she went to the deck early, leaving only Qu Youmeng and Wang Yan inside.
Yunyi did not come to this competition.
She was unable to emerge from seclusion in time and is still in seclusion.
For Lin Xuan, the cultivation of his disciples was naturally more important. With Wang Yan, Qu Youmeng, and Duan Nianwei, the outcome of the competition was not in doubt. Yunyi's ability to stabilize her realm and advance further was of course more important than anything else.
Therefore, there were only two people in the room.
Fortunately, it was just the two of them; otherwise, Duan Nianwei's smile, which she was about to make a name for herself, would have vanished from her face.
The two were discussing Sword Dao in hushed tones, drawing on a wide range of sources, their auras subtly emanating from them and undulating with their conversation.
Such an imposing aura would surely shock Duan Nianwei if she were here.
This is because Qu Youmeng's realm has reached the Heavenly Venerable Perfection in a short period of time.
Exactly the same as Duan Nianwei!
Similarly, they were all just one step away from entering the Thearch Realm.
Wang Yan had already entered the Thearch Realm during the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, and now his sword Sword Intent had been directly pushed to the ninth level of perfection!
His strength has increased to a new level!
Because he had just returned to the Primordial Holy Heaven with Lin Xuan, he was not a high-profile or flamboyant person to begin with. In addition, he had been diligently cultivating and improving since his return. Even Duan Nianwei did not know the true strength of her senior brother.
She only knew that Wang Yan had suffered a lot outside, and she was determined to protect this honest and somewhat dull senior brother in the future. She was completely unaware that Wang Yan's strength was even greater than hers.
Just as she had expected.
Whether it was Qu Youmeng or Yunyi and the others, they had all gone through many hardships before returning to Lin Xuan's side not long ago.
It's definitely not as comfortable and secure as it is here.
but...
One thing Duan Nianwei forgot was that Lin Xuan had always been a sentimental and nostalgic person.
He has always been very good to his own people.
Long before he arrived in the Eastern Continent and gradually recovered his strength, he began accumulating Cultivation Resources for himself, as well as various treasures for his disciples.
From Su Lianxin Chen Xiao, from Wu Liang to Xiaolu, not one is missing.
His disciples had their share of Cultivation Resources, and Wu Liang possessed several protective treasures Emperor Weapon left behind by him.
All of these were gained by Lin Xuan during his training.
Back when he reunited with his disciples, Lin Xuan had already given them the Storage Bag he had saved for them.
The rebates offered are naturally substantial.
There are even a considerable number of divine soul treasures.
Lin Xuan naturally kept them all, intending to use them on his ancestor Zhiruo in the future—restoring Zhiruo's injuries would not be possible with just one or two divine soul treasures.
Wang Yan and Qu Youmeng Yunyi also used these Cultivation Resources to further solidify their foundations and improve their cultivation levels.
Before heading to the Ten Institutes Grand Competition, the two of them emerged from seclusion and successfully consumed all the treasures left behind by Lin Xuan.
Only Yunyi was fortunate enough to gain new insights during her seclusion and was unable to participate in this grand competition.
But that's enough.
As for Pei Yushuang, who is also a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, she is still in the Desolate Domain and naturally cannot catch up.
Since Lin Fang was newly married and his cultivation level was insufficient, Lin Xuan did not insist on separating the young couple.
Of the Sword Pavilion disciples on this trip, only Duan Nianwei, Qu Youmeng, and Wang Yan.
As the two discussed the Dao, the crimson gate opened gently, and a white-robed sword immortal stepped in. With delicate features, a smile flashed in his eyes when he saw his two disciples' diligence.
He didn't interrupt, but waited until the two had finished talking, still wanting more, before slowly speaking.
"Good."
"You two have been accumulating strength for a long time; it shouldn't be long before you reach the Thearch Realm."
"Are you confident of winning first place in this Ten Institutes Grand Competition?"
Seeing Lin Xuan come to their side and hearing his concern, Wang Yan and Qu Youmeng were both delighted.
"Master!"
Lin Xuan's question caused Wang Yan and Qu Youmeng to exchange a glance, both seeing deep thought in each other's eyes.
They have been in the Eastern Continent for some time now.
This also gave me an understanding of the so-called geniuses of this world.
Furthermore, it gave me a clearer understanding of my own abilities.
Ordinary Saints like the Ten Saints of the Holy Heaven probably couldn't withstand One Sword from me now.
Not to mention, the competition is still some days away...
The journey is long, and the time spent on it can be fully utilized. If only I could break through a few more realms!
Among these ten academies, how many could withstand One Sword from the two of them?
They've got this championship in the Ten Institutes Grand Competition covered!
With this thought in mind, both of them felt reassured and smiled at the same time.
"Please rest assured, Master, we two will certainly not disgrace our sect!"
The speeding ship did not slow down because of anyone's will or thoughts.
Soon, the flying boat arrived at the center of the Saint Heaven Realm.
The Saint Heaven Realm Domain multiple cities.
Among them, Holy Heaven City is located in the center, surrounded and encircled by the Ten Great Saint Heavens.
Its status is comparable to that of the imperial city of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
The Ten Institutes Grand Competition was held in this very place.
One after another, the group disembarked from the flying boat and surged into Holy Heaven City.
The people coming and going in Holy Heaven City are not only Holy Heaven students, but also other cultivators who are training in the Holy Heaven Domain.
But only the students of the Holy Heaven Academy wore the conspicuous academy uniform.
As the group walked, countless people cast envious glances, their eyes fixed on the Holy Heaven uniforms they wore, their eyes filled with mixed emotions.
Holy Heaven students...
These are all exceptional talents.
That's something most of them can't compare to.
The students of Primordial Holy Heaven stood tall and proud, basking in the gaze of the crowd, their mood extremely pleasant.
Although the Primordial Holy Heaven is indeed at the bottom... no matter what, they are still Holy Heaven students.
Students of the Holy Heaven Academy are highly respected and admired by others wherever they are in the Holy Heaven Domain.
Although Holy Heaven City is located in the center of the Ten Great Saint Heavens, the Ten Great Saint Heavens only recruit geniuses, and geniuses are always rare, so naturally, the number of students is not very large.
Therefore, most of the cultivators here are outsiders.
Even the lowest-ranking Holy Heaven is still a supreme existence in the eyes of outsiders.
Enviable.
Especially Shentu Feng.
As the leader of the Ten Saints, with a cultivation Thearch Realm Second Layer, he was the leader of the team for this Ten Institutes Grand Competition. He walked with a certain arrogance, no longer the dejected and dispirited man he once was.
This was the first time he had escaped the shadow of the Wan Renshan.
For the first time, he was at the head of a group with Wan Renshan, enjoying the envious and admiring gazes from all angles, which made him feel very pleased and boosted his confidence.
Duan Nianwei in the crowd, couldn't help but frown slightly as she looked at Shentu Feng, who was at the head of the group.
this...
That's a bit too much.
Confidence is not a bad thing.
However, the line between confidence and arrogance is very thin...
Wan Renshan, who was lagging behind at the back of the group and walking slowly, naturally did not miss Shentu Feng's appearance. He did not make any judgment, but simply lowered his head slightly and sneered.
Back then, he and Shentu Feng were roughly equal, both being prominent figures and top leaders in the Primordial Holy Heaven.
He was the first person to do so.
He is also the head of the Ten Saints.
However, even then, he was not as arrogant and complacent as he was then.
It's just an empty reputation.
A false reputation cannot be equated with actual strength.
He had come to deeply realize this, and had learned a tremendous lesson from it...
Shentu Feng, however, clearly did not.
But it's okay.
Wan Renshan thought to himself indifferently.
Primordial Holy Heaven failed to teach Shentu Feng a lesson, it's likely that someone else will.
