Disaster for the Heavenly Geniuses, Speculation

Ye Qingxue did not go to heal her injuries, but stayed at the arena.

When she saw that Zheng Siqi had also defeated a Holy Son, a look of surprise finally crossed her face.

Once upon a time, these holy sons and daughters were the top talents among the younger generation of the Eastern Desolation cultivation Immortal Realm, but now they have suffered one defeat after another.

She suddenly remembered Ye Liang's reminder from the day before yesterday, and couldn't help but wonder why so many geniuses had suddenly appeared?

Turning to Ye Liang, who was watching with great interest, she asked softly, "Senior Brother Ye, is this the unexpected turn of events you mentioned?"

Ye Liang shook his head, his tone calm yet resolute. "This is just the beginning. Those people will suffer more defeats in the future, and their Dao hearts may even be shattered."

However, you don't need to worry. The strength you displayed when you fought Chen Jie is such that, looking at the current situation, there are probably very few people who can defeat you.

Ye Qingxue's heart skipped a beat, and her face showed even more surprise.

Judging from Ye Liang's words, will the prodigies of each sect continue to suffer defeats?

But where did these seemingly out-of-the-box geniuses come from? There's never been any rumors about them in the Eastern Desolation cultivation Immortal Realm. Could they have come from outside the Eastern Desolation?

But what about Zheng Siqi, Ye Liang, and Qian Duoduo?

They are clearly members of the Heavenly Revelation Sect, not from the Eastern Desolation, so what kind of connection exists between them?

Even someone as intelligent as Ye Qingxue couldn't fathom the mystery, and could only shake her head helplessly.

At the same time, he secretly resolved to cultivate more diligently and improve his cultivation level in order to cope with even greater changes:

"Senior Brother Ye, I'm going back to the sect's headquarters to heal my injuries."

Before Ye Liang could respond, she turned and left.

At this moment, everyone present looked astonished, staring at the once high and mighty holy sons and daughters who had been defeated one after another. Their faces were full of disbelief, and exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

"What exactly happened? How could so many holy sons and daughters have been defeated?"

Could their cultivation level be too weak? But judging from the skills they just displayed, they don't seem like novices.

"Where did so many Nascent Soul Realm experts come from? The cultivation Immortal Realm has never even heard of them. Did they just fall from the sky or spring up out of the ground out of nowhere?"

"Do you think they might have come from beyond the Eastern Desolation? Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense how so many powerful individuals suddenly appeared."

"But Zheng Siqi, Chen Lin, and the others are all from our Eastern Desolation cultivation Immortal Realm. They also defeated the Holy Son. How do you explain that?"

"Yes, I just saw Zheng Siqi admit defeat to Ye Liang, and I thought he was weak. I didn't expect him to be so powerful that he could actually defeat the Holy Son."

"I really don't understand this arena competition in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm."

"The once unattainable holy sons and daughters have all fallen one after another, so do we still have a chance to obtain the qualification to enter the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm?"

"Forget about the admission qualifications for now. Don't you feel a great sense of satisfaction watching those once arrogant saints fall from their pedestals?"

"That's true! Those people think they're superior just because they have Heavenly Spirit Root, but some of them have terrible comprehension and their cultivation isn't outstanding either."

Yet they firmly occupy the positions of Holy Son and Holy Daughter; it's truly unfair!

"Haha, that's right! Seeing those proud geniuses looking completely bewildered after being defeated makes me feel so relieved."

"It's because they used to be so arrogant, never taking those of us with poor cultivation aptitude seriously."

In the following days, the recovered holy sons and daughters took to the field sporadically, but without exception, they all suffered defeats.

Their wounds, which had just healed, were injured again, and they seemed to be trapped in a cycle of healing and being injured.

Many people were defeated one after another, causing their Daoist hearts to collapse, and they were completely unable to accept such a huge drop in status.

I thought it was just a formality, but I didn't expect to encounter so many experts and be defeated one after another.

For the past few days, the live stream has been filled with excitement, with the chat almost flooding the screen.

"This is hilarious! Seeing those privileged kids looking utterly hopeless, beaten to the point of collapse, is incredibly satisfying."

"The previous Immortal-Devil Secret Realm Arena Tournament was nothing more than a formality for them, but now it has become a complete disaster."

They're probably still completely baffled, having no idea where all these ruthless characters came from.

"They still have a chance to lose! One of the main reasons so many system hosts come to participate in the arena is to compete against these prodigies from cultivation sects."

"Hahaha, praise the Fairness System! With it, even us A Mortal can stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation Immortal Realm and drag those arrogant prodigies down with them."

"We used to work ourselves to the bone just to have three meals a day, but now food and clothing are no longer a problem."

"To be able to watch as former cultivators are trampled underfoot by ants they looked down upon—that's just too satisfying!"

Immortal-Devil Secret Realm, in a palace suspended in the sky, experts from various cultivation sects at the Void Return Realm sat together.

They sipped tea and discussed philosophy while watching the match and commenting on the fighting prowess of the prodigies on the field.

However, the competition over the past few days has left them all looking puzzled.

So many prodigies appeared out of nowhere, defeating the holy sons and daughters of various families one after another.

"Fellow Daoists, do you know where these young prodigies come from? Could they be from beyond the Eastern Desolation?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. In the past, there have been young prodigies from outside the Eastern Desolation who participated in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm."

Everyone knows that the Fortune Secret Realm and Immortal-Devil Secret Realm in our Eastern Desolation are extremely special; there are no other places where one can directly comprehend the Great Dao Principle at a low cultivation level.

"Indeed. The ability of our Eastern Desolation to contend with other regions is largely due to these two secret realms. People from other places have always coveted these two secret realms."

"Many people have a rather strange aura, unlike cultivators, but rather like martial artists."

Is it really possible for someone to cultivate martial arts in the mortal realm to a level comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm?

"Martial arts are nothing more than something created by mortal ants imitating immortal Cultivation Method."

It's completely different from our Immortal Cultivation System, not even worth mentioning. Fellow cultivators, there's no need to worry about it.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They have absolute faith in the Immortal Cultivation System and don't think martial arts has any future at all.

Even if one could truly cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, so what?

If one cannot create subsequent Cultivation Method, one will ultimately be trapped in a bottleneck, ending up with the exhaustion of lifespan and death.

At this moment, Elder Sun Xuan of the Pure Void Sect spoke up:

"Are we just going to stand by and watch our own holy son and daughter suffer defeat after defeat? Shouldn't we do something?"

"I think this is a good thing," Lan Sheng said slowly. "Letting them see that there are always people more capable than themselves will motivate them to cultivate more diligently."

Moreover, with so many entry slots for the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm, there's no need to worry about not getting one.

Moreover, the martial arts tournament has a history of thousands of years; it would be inappropriate for us to intervene rashly."

After a moment of contemplation, everyone nodded in agreement, deciding to wait and see.

They only hoped that their prodigy could prove himself, learn from the defeat, and dedicate himself to improving his cultivation.

On the other side, Ye Qingxue had already healed her injuries and was determined to step onto the arena today to compete for the qualification to enter the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.

She gracefully stepped onto the stage and soon defeated the defending champion.

Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in equally pristine white flew onto the arena.
