When Su Nian returned to the banquet, Ye Hua greeted her with a smile.
"Oh dear, Senior Brother Su, how come your health has deteriorated so much since your Nascent Soul was destroyed? I know an excellent doctor in Rivet City. Would you like me to recommend him to you?"
Su Nian sat down smoothly and smiled slightly, saying, "No need for you to worry, Junior Brother. I probably caught a cold last night and had diarrhea, but I'm fine now."
He pointed to the long, thin ginseng that Ye Hua was eating and said, "Yes, yes, yes! That's what my senior brother's poop looked like!"
Ye Hua's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, his smile becoming forced and insincere.
Su Nian smiled sheepishly and scratched his head. "Ah, I'm sorry, Junior Brother Ye. I spoke too quickly and my words were a bit crude. Please don't take it to heart."
"It's alright, senior brother, it's alright..." Ye Hua said, turning around, lowering his head, and resting his chin on his hands.
He said in a voice only he could hear, "Anyway, it won't be long before you can't speak anymore."
Xu Xinrou suddenly patted Su Nian's thigh, and the latter turned her head to ask her, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xinrou whispered in his ear, "The banquet is almost over, and the martial arts competition is about to begin. The arena will be divided into three groups. I will be heading to the Nascent Soul group's arena in the back mountain later. Will you come with me?"
Su Nian glanced at Ye Hua and whispered in Xu Xinrou's ear, "Senior Sister Xu, I have something to do here. You go first, I'll be there soon. Oh, and this is for you."
Su Nian took out a jade slip from her bosom and put it into Xu Xinrou's hand.
As Xu Xinrou stroked the jade slip, it suddenly glowed. She sensed the immense power contained within the jade slip and was startled.
"This contains such profound 'Tao'! Junior brother, where did you obtain this from?"
Su Nian smiled mysteriously, "I obtained this by chance in a mountain cave. It is said that the holder of this jade slip was a powerful figure who became an emperor and was given the title of Reincarnation."
Xu Xinrou smiled gently, "There are only a handful of powerful individuals in this world who can be called Great Emperors. How come I've never heard of any powerful individuals who have been granted the title of Emperor through the cycle of reincarnation?"
"Perhaps it's a reclusive master? Masters always like to live in seclusion in the mountains, don't they?" Su Nian blinked, trying to brush it off. "Alright, alright, Senior Sister, don't bother investigating the origin of this jade slip. Just keep it safe and don't lose it."
"Alright then." Xu Xinrou nodded.
Just then, Ruan Tao walked towards the crowd and once again attracted everyone's attention on the highest stage.
"Everyone! My master just said that it is a rare occasion for heroes from all over the world to gather at our Holy Glory Sect today. If we were to simply drink, wouldn't that lack a bit of fun? I'm sure all of you heroes here have heard that my master greatly admires young talents and hopes to take this opportunity to see the flourishing of the younger generation of the Nine Provinces. Therefore, our Holy Glory Sect has specially prepared three venues today, providing a stage for the young geniuses of the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul groups to compete with each other. Of course, in order to arouse everyone's competitive spirit, we have also prepared a generous gift for the top player in each group!"
Ruan Tao's voice was met with overwhelming response. Many cultivators from small sects and countless rogue cultivators came here to compete for the gifts prepared by the Grand Elder of the Holy Radiance Sect.
The voices of numerous cultivators echoed throughout the mountains of the Holy Glory Sect.
Seeing that the time was right, many disciples of the Holy Radiance Sect came out and guided cultivators of different realms to designated areas to draw lots for group assignments.
The battle between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul groups was grand in scale, and they headed to two other peaks of the Holy Radiance Sect, some distance from the main peak.
Hong Jiuquan is in charge of the Nascent Soul group. Although it is called the Nascent Soul group, it actually only consists of Xu Xinrou. At present, Xu Xinrou has the highest cultivation level among the younger generation in the entire show, so she is naturally worthy of attention.
Li Baiyu is in charge of looking after the Golden Core Group. Since there are many people in the Golden Core Group, she may stay on the Golden Core Group's mountain for a long time.
Before leaving, Li Baiyu said to Ye Hua and Su Nian, "You two wait here. Xin Rou is the only one in the Nascent Soul group. After she finishes her competition, Senior Sister Hong will bring her back."
Su Nian and Ye Hua nodded at the same time.
Li Baiyu then said to Ye Hua, "You are still a novice and your experience is not as rich as your senior brother's. Since we are not here, you should listen to your senior brother Su more."
Ye Hua was unwilling, but she still responded.
Before leaving, Xu Xinrou whispered in Su Nian's ear, "Wait for me, junior brother, I'll be right back."
Su Nian smiled and nodded.
After all the female cultivators had left, only Su Nian and Ye Hua remained on the main peak.
Ye Hua glanced at Su Nian and sneered, "Senior Brother Su, now that Senior Sister and the others have all left, it's just the two of us left."
"With the elder absent, I, your senior brother, will be the leader. Junior brother, you don't need to be afraid. I'm here," Su Nian said calmly.
Ye Hua dismissed it with disdain.
Would a chosen one like him be afraid?
After finishing his drink, Su Nian tapped the table with his empty glass. "Junior brother, didn't you see my glass is empty? Why aren't you filling it up?"
Ye Hua did not move.
Su Nian suddenly shouted, "Ye Hua! Don't you even respect me as your senior brother?! Did you just ignore what Elder Li said?!"
Ye Hua stared at him coldly, as if he were looking at a corpse.
A moment later, he let out a cold laugh.
So be it.
I'll grant your request this time, since you're nearing the end of your life.
He filled Su Nian's glass with wine and then left.
Next, the martial arts competition for the Foundation Establishment group officially began.
Due to the large number of participants, the first round of the competition adopted a free-for-all mode, with three hundred Foundation Establishment stage cultivators entering the arena to fight each other, and the thirty-two who remained in the arena advancing to the next round.
