As soon as Shu Jianyue arrived at the Grand Competition Square, she was met with several scrutinizing gazes.

Looking at it, one of them belonged to the Fang family, which was undoubtedly the Fang family head, Fang Huo.

Qi Yun Sect, Zong Heng Immortal Sect, Xuan Tian Sect, and even Sheng Shi Academy are among them.

Shu Jianyue ignored him and had Fang Cheng lead the way to the location of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, where she sat down in the main seat.

She sat down half a step behind the area where the moxibustion was applied, without seeming to mind.

Because he was wearing a mask, coupled with his imposing presence, he naturally attracted even more attention.

The person sitting at the head of the table was an elder from the Shengshi Academy who came from the Eight Desolations, and the person sitting to his right was Fang Qianxun.

Fang Qianxun narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw Shu Jianyue sitting in the main seat.

Thinking of his brother's investigation, he unconsciously tightened his grip on the armrest.

The fact that they were able to capture my second uncle shows that even if Shu Jianyue's strength is not as good as my second uncle's, it also means that their strength is not bad either.

But so what? She's only at the Nascent Soul stage, why would she be afraid of them?

Yu Guang glanced at Elder Shengshi, and thinking of what he had said about wanting to take Shu Jianyue and her two children back, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

If she takes the three of them back, what will happen to her Yun'er?

So, once you get what you want from that woman, you can die.

We can't let them block Yun'er's way.

Seeing Shu Jianyue sitting in the main seat, Xin Yue, the sect leader of Xuantian Sect, asked with a smile, "Is that young lady Gu Yunxiao's newly accepted disciple?"

He also received news that a powerful figure from the Upper Realm had recently destroyed the Heavenly Saint Sect, but was eventually driven away by that old codger Gu Yunxiao.

He was shocked to hear this, after all, people from the Upper Realm were at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, he must have broken through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage.

I just don't know how he convinced people to go back.

The Grand Elder of Xuantian Sect nodded with a smile, "Yes, Sect Master, an eighteen-year-old Golden Core cultivator, apart from Xin Lai, is probably unmatched in the entire Ten Domains."

Xin Yue sneered inwardly, then said calmly, "Is that so? But one shouldn't stand out too much; too much intelligence can be harmful."

“That makes sense. Take Gu Yunxiao’s eldest disciple, Chu Lingran, for example. He was the recognized number one genius in the Ten Domains, with a rare purple spiritual vein, but he died halfway through his journey.” The elder’s tone was quite regretful.

That was a purple spiritual vein! It would have been no problem for someone to reach the pinnacle of power a hundred years later, yet it died halfway through. Doesn't that prove the saying that wisdom inevitably leads to harm?

"Do you know who that masked man is?" Xin Yue felt that the man was too dangerous, which was not a good thing.

The elder shook his head. "I only heard that he is Shu Jianyue's husband, but I haven't found out his identity."

"I heard that even the sect leader of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect doesn't know his identity."

Xin Yue looked at Chong Jiu and narrowed his eyes. "So mysterious?"

The Grand Elder nodded in agreement, "It is quite mysterious."

Shu Jianyue set up the formation and looked at Chong Jiu, asking, "How is it? Did you sense anything?"

Chong Jiu nodded. "The sect leader of Qi Yun Sect has a stronger scent of Chen Xin on him, so he must occasionally come into contact with Chen Xin."

Shu Jianyue glanced at Fan Shunlai, only to see that he was also looking at her.

Shu Jianyue immediately looked away, pretending not to have seen anything, and said, "Then it's very likely that it's in the Qiyun Sect."

He nodded repeatedly during the moxibustion treatment.

Seeing that all the sects had arrived, Xin Yue began his opening remarks.

Then each sect drew lots.

The equation represents the Hunyuan Immortal Sect drawing lots, and they drew number ten.

Shu Jianyue looked at the number in her hand, glanced at him, and said, "You're really lucky!"

Number 10 corresponds to Number 9, and Qi Yun Sect is Number 9.

Fan Yingtan smiled when he saw that Number Ten was from the Hunyuan Immortal Sect.

It's truly heaven's help for her; she must thoroughly humiliate the Hunyuan Immortal Sect so they won't think they're so great.

The competition begins.

The first one to step onto the stage was Gongchengxi. With his cultivation level, he could hold the stage for a while.

The order was determined by Shu Jianyue, with Gongchengxi leading the way and Yuchuan closing the show.

If the opponent can fight to the point where Yu Chuan needs to step in, then it means that Qi Yun Sect has some strength.

Just as she predicted, Gongchengxi won the title for five consecutive rounds.

Both sides have ten people. The sect whose members remain on the stage at the end wins.

Fan Yingtan was anxiously scolding people, while Fan Shunlai sat calmly drinking spiritual tea.

"Xiao Tan, don't worry, Qin Fan hasn't even appeared yet, so don't fret."

Fan Yingtan glanced at Qin Fan, who was sitting there with his eyes closed, and pouted, "Hmph, Father, why did you arrange for him to be last?"

She was supposed to be the final performer.

Fan Shunlai smiled and said, "His cultivation is the highest. If he's not the one to be the last, then who is?"

"Alright, sit down and have a cup of spiritual tea to calm down."

Two more people were defeated, and Fan Yingtan couldn't sit still any longer. Ignoring the arrangements, she jumped onto the stage, glared at Gong Chengxi, and said, "Hmph, you're lucky, but this girl will be the one to end it."

"Oh, then I can give it a try." Gong Chengxi knew that his cultivation was not as high as hers, but he would not give up without a fight.

With the training over the past few days, he has a feeling that he is about to break through, and he just needs a little opportunity.

Fan Yingtan attacked with a cold face.

Gong Chengxi never underestimates anyone; that's what his father told him. Who knows if the other party has any special opportunities or backing, or if they have any hidden tricks up their sleeve?

They fought with great care, and the more they fought, the more difficult it became, but they also fought with increasing ferocity, as if they were determined to win even with their last breath.

Fang Cheng looked very anxious, and it seemed like he wanted to tell him to admit defeat.

"Grandmaster Uncle, what should we do?" Gongchengxi is a promising talent; we can't let him fail here.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Shu Jianyue said, peeling and eating an orange.
