Upon hearing this rebuke...
Zhao Ziyi narrowed his eyes and crushed the talisman in his hand.
Now that things have already happened, I wonder what these Nascent Soul cultivators are up to now.
Zhao Ziyi looked up and saw three Nascent Soul cultivators flying through the air and stopping above the platform.
"Who was undergoing tribulation just now?"
The Nascent Soul cultivator's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in my ears like thunder.
Zhao Ziyi looked up and stared directly at the Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Zhao Ziyi, a sword cultivator from Xianhe Garden."
The Nascent Soul cultivator chuckled lightly:
"Now that you have advanced to the Golden Core stage, take advantage of the fact that the Sword Cultivation Competition has just begun and go to the Golden Core stage arena to participate."
Go to the Golden Core Stage arena?
A contest against a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage?
Zhao Ziyi frowned. With his magical flying sword and all the magical treasures he possessed, he was confident of victory in the battle.
But this kind of arena competition tests the storage of spiritual energy within the body.
He has only just advanced to the Golden Core stage, so his spiritual energy reserves are definitely not as much as other Golden Core stage sword cultivators.
Zhao Ziyi deliberately delayed and did not reply for a long time.
"Why haven't you made a decision yet?" the Nascent Soul cultivator asked, frowning.
"Hmph! Do they think no one will stand up for them after bullying the people of my Immortal River Garden?"
A loud shout came from afar, followed by a gentle breeze.
The cultivators looked up and saw a purple-robed Taoist priest appear in the air above the platform.
"Dean Pei."
Zhao Ziyi looked up, his heart filled with joy.
He just crushed the talisman to summon Dean Pei.
I didn't expect Dean Pei to arrive in such a short time.
Upon hearing Sun Meng's telepathic message, the purple-robed Taoist learned the whole story.
He was overjoyed and looked down.
"You're Song Chen's Daoist partner? Not bad! You actually have a chance to win first place."
Dean Pei looked up at the three Nascent Soul cultivators, his tone showing no fear:
"Zhao Ziyi advanced in the battle, but he still registered for the Foundation Establishment stage competition. He must not be moved to the Golden Core stage competition!"
"Pei Yuan! This Immortal Realm Grand Competition is our decision, it's none of your business to interfere!"
Pei Yuan put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly:
"This year's Immortal Realm Grand Competition is a once-in-five-hundred-years event for my Immortal River Garden! Two geniuses have emerged at once! I will not allow anyone to disrupt it!"
Pei Yuan's body surged with spiritual energy, expressing his determination never to back down.
The cultivators below felt the pressure emanating from the Nascent Soul stage, their hearts filled with fear and shock.
A Nascent Soul cultivator, so incredibly powerful!
The situation immediately became tense.
A moment later
The three Nascent Soul cultivators looked solemn, and in the end, they actually backed down.
"Alright, then let Zhao Ziyi continue competing in the Foundation Establishment stage!"
The three cultivators snorted coldly and then flew out of the venue.
Pei Yuan waved cheerfully to the crowd below, "The competition continues, everyone keep playing! Zhao Ziyi, good luck!"
"Thank you, Dean Pei."
Zhao Ziyi clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with joy.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he's set to take first place in the swordsmanship competition!
However, Zhao Ziyi was not in a hurry to step onto the ring.
Instead, she stayed by Song Chen's side, waiting for him to heal.
He looked up at the distance.
Mu Feng and Li Wantian, with the support of Langya Academy and Wanjian Manor, were also healing their injuries.
To be able to injure two people at the same time, Song Chen must have paid a heavy price.
Zhao Ziyi felt increasingly sorry for Song Chen.
Three hours later.
Song Chen opened his eyes.
At first glance, he made eye contact with Zhao Ziyi.
"Why are you looking at me like that? And you're even crying." Song Chen smiled and patted Zhao Ziyi's hair.
Zhao Ziyi lunged forward and hugged Song Chen tightly.
"Song Chen! You have no idea how badly you were injured just now!"
The sight of his body being completely charred black really terrified Zhao Ziyi.
Song Chen rubbed his head and comforted him:
"Okay, I'm fine, I've recovered pretty much."
"But how do you feel after advancing to the Golden Core stage?"
Hearing Song Chen's words.
Zhao Ziyi recounted the events that had just occurred in detail.
After listening, Song Chen snorted coldly, "A Nascent Soul cultivator, nothing more. I thought such a powerful figure, who established and governed Zhuoyangchuan, was a highly respected person. Now it seems he's just a mortal!"
The establishment of Zhuoyangchuan is a unique and extraordinary event on the Tianyan Continent.
It is hailed as a holy land for monks.
Previously, Song Chen greatly admired the Nascent Soul cultivators of Zhuoyangchuan.
They thought that this kind of cultivator was different from the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Kunxian Tower.
But now it seems that Zhuoyangchuan's transformation into a deity was not so noble.
They both bully the weak and fear the strong, indiscriminately picking on the innocent and the guilty.
They likely had ulterior motives in establishing Zhuoyangchuan.
Song Chen thought of the previously missing geniuses from the Immortal Realm Grand Competition.
No one gets up early without a reason; perhaps the Nascent Soul cultivators of Zhuoyangchuan are targeting these talented cultivators.
Song Chen was meticulous; he connected Zhuoyangchuan with Xianheyuan.
I discovered something.
He asked telepathically:
"Ziyi, why do you think Nascent Soul cultivators are all afraid of Dean Pei?"
Zhao Ziyi recalled for a moment.
The reason the cultivators from Kunxianlou let them go at the auction house was because Dean Pei intervened.
The same goes for this time.
It seemed that the Nascent Soul cultivators were all afraid in the face of Dean Pei's threat.
Zhao Ziyi pondered for a moment and said:
"At the auction house before, I thought that Dean Pei had mastered the secret of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Kunxian Tower."
But this time, it's clearly not the case.
Song Chen analyzed:
"Judging others by our own standards, under what circumstances would we be subject to their control?"
Zhao Ziyi thought about it for a moment.
Spiritual plants and spiritual treasures are not important.
Money is not important.
The technique itself is not important.
The only thing a cultivator cares about is their own cultivation level.
Song Chen provided the answer:
"I suspect that the weapon Dean Pei used to threaten the Nascent Soul stage was the Nascent Soul stage's advancement."
Zhao Ziyi was greatly shocked.
Thinking about it that way, it really makes sense!
Seeing Zhao Ziyi's furrowed brows, Song Chen smiled slightly and used his fingers to smooth out his brow.
"Alright, I'm here for you, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Go to the competition. The Celestial Realm Grand Tournament is almost over, and we're very close to uncovering the truth."
Zhao Ziyi nodded. No matter how things develop, as long as he tries his best to keep up with Song Chen, the two will not be separated.
As long as Song Chen was around, he felt at peace.
"Watch me, watch how I win first place in the competition!"
Zhao Ziyi cheered, replaced his magical flying sword with an iron sword, and quickly flew towards the arena.
The surrounding cultivators were all very troubled when they saw Zhao Ziyi take the stage.
A Golden Core stage sword cultivator is competing with a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in terms of spiritual energy reserves.
How could someone in the Foundation Establishment stage possibly win!
Unless it's a demon like Song Chen!
Zhao Ziyi stood on the arena and saw the cultivators hesitant and unwilling to step forward.
He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The fight will stop when it's over and no one will be killed."
The cultivators chuckled awkwardly. You might not hurt anyone, but Song Chen might not.
The Nascent Soul cultivator who was struck by heavenly lightning earlier has now turned to ashes.
It became nourishment for this forest.
Moreover, although the Nascent Soul cultivator died, he did not activate the restrictions on the Turbid Yang River.
Looking at it this way, Song Chen is even more terrifying.
Song Chen felt the gazes of those around him and understood. He had essentially borrowed Mu Feng's power to intimidate others.
He instructed Zhao Ziyi:
"You focus on the competition, I'll just wander around for a bit."
After finishing speaking, Song Chen left the venue and walked to the edge of the platform.
Taking advantage of this time, he copied down the array formations on the platform that he hadn't had time to copy before, so he could secretly study them later.
Perhaps at some point in the future.
This formation also became their life-saving skill.
