"Your excellency, I have received your sword strike. Now, it is my turn." Li Xuan did not reply to Jun Mei. With a slight smile, he flicked the immortal sword in his hand, and a sword qi instantly shot towards Jun Mei.
"Stacked Sword Technique? You are underestimating me too much!" Seeing that Li Xuan had only unleashed the most basic Stacked Sword Technique, Jun Mei snorted coldly. To display his own power, Jun Mei did not even activate his defenses.
Li Xuan saw this and shook his head slightly, then directly withdrew his gaze, not even looking at Jun Mei.
Boom!
Following a rumbling sound, a scream also ensued. Jun Mei's body fell like a kite with a broken string.
"Stacked Sword Technique with one thousand two hundred sword qi stacked, even I would not dare to face it head-on. You actually dared to receive it with your bare hands. Arrogance can sometimes be fatal." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, then his gaze shifted towards the Three-Star Lord.
Jun Mei had already fainted, and the outcome was naturally clear.
"To be able to stack sword qi to one thousand two hundred, his comprehension of sword cultivation surpasses that of Jun Mei by a great deal." The Three-Star Lord thought to himself as he glanced at Li Xuan. Then, he cleared his throat and said, "Body Sect versus Spirit Refining Sect, Body Sect wins!"
At this moment, Hong Yang had already arrived before Jun Mei. After checking that Jun Mei had only fainted and was not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Three-Star Lord's announcement also caused Hong Yang's body to tremble slightly. The Spirit Refining Sect had actually lost to the Body Sect.
This time, the Body Sect had completely crushed the three top powers: Xuan Lei Sect, Liu Ming Palace, and Spirit Refining Sect!
"Little Junior Brother, you're amazing!" As the Three-Star Lord announced the result, Yu Heng and others excitedly lifted Li Xuan and shouted.
Peak Master Mo Xian also looked at Li Xuan with a smile. The Body Sect had finally gained some face.
"We won?"
"Of course, we won! Didn't you hear what the Three-Star Lord of Star Cloud Hall said? Our Body Sect won!"
"This Senior Brother Li Xuan is simply my idol!"
"I've decided, from now on, I will strive to be like Senior Brother Li Xuan. To be able to defeat three mid-level Qiankun Realm experts with only early-stage Shiyuan Realm strength, Senior Brother Li Xuan is simply a heaven-defying existence!"
"..."
On the half-mountain square of the Body Sect's main peak, everyone cheered.
"This Little Junior Brother has indeed not disappointed us." Peak Master Shen Shan also looked at Li Xuan with a smile. It had been thousands of years since the Body Sect had achieved the top spot.
Ye Zhengwei also smiled and said, "Issue an order for a grand banquet for half a month. All disciples may enter the Heavenly Abyss Pond for cultivation!"
One day later, the duel between Liu Ming Palace and Xuan Lei Sect also concluded.
In the end, the Body Sect took the lead, followed by the Spirit Refining Sect in second place, Liu Ming Palace in third, and Xuan Lei Sect in fourth.
"This competition has ended. The four of you, please wait a moment." The Three-Star Lord finished speaking and looked at Peak Master Mo Xian and the other three. Judging by his demeanor, there were clearly still matters to discuss.
Peak Master Mo Xian and the other three exchanged glances, then moved and came before the Three-Star Lord.
"Three-Star Lord, is there anything else?" Tian Ye asked curiously.
The Three-Star Lord nodded slightly and said, "A few months ago, we discovered a shattered space. According to the information from the Hall, it should be the tomb of a powerful expert."
"Three-Star Lord, why haven't we heard any rumors? And why are you telling us this? Are you planning to join forces with our three sects and one palace?" Hong Yang asked after pondering for a moment.
Although Peak Master Mo Xian and the other two did not speak, their eyes were fixed on the Three-Star Lord. Clearly, Peak Master Mo Xian and the other two had the same question. Moreover, Star Cloud Hall, being a dominant force on the Star Cloud Continent, would not have revealed this matter without a deeper reason.
The Three-Star Lord smiled bitterly and said, "I understand your doubts. To be honest, there are very strange light arcs within this space. Our Star Cloud Hall has already lost three experts at the Life and Death Realm. And what puzzles us is that it has its own rules of heaven and earth."
Three experts at the Life and Death Realm!
Upon hearing this news, Peak Master Mo Xian and the other three changed their expressions. After all, the four of them were only at the Life and Death Realm.
"Its own rules of heaven and earth?" Tian Ye asked after a moment of silence.
The Three-Star Lord nodded and said, "According to our calculations, this space can only barely accommodate spirit masters below the Qiankun Realm. If this is the case, they will not be bound by its rules of heaven and earth. However, if their strength exceeds the Qiankun Realm, it will cause this space to collapse."
"Three-Star Lord, forgive my boldness, but with the strength of Star Cloud Hall, you should not be lacking in disciples below the Qiankun Realm. What is your intention in telling us this news?" Peak Master Mo Xian asked after thinking for a moment.
The Three-Star Lord nodded frankly and said, "Although spirit masters below the Qiankun Realm can enter that space, if they are below the Shiyuan Realm, they will be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth within."
"Furthermore, there is a limit to the number of people who can enter that space. This limit was deduced by the Hall Master. The number of people needs to be one hundred and sixty-eight to fully activate it. To put it bluntly, this space is like a mechanism left behind by that powerful expert."
The Three-Star Lord paused and said in a deep voice, "The right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable."
"Three-Star Lord, do you mean you intend for our three sects and one palace to join forces with your Star Cloud Hall?" Tian Ye asked.
The Three-Star Lord nodded and said, "That's right. Our Star Cloud Hall can only provide one hundred and thirty disciples who meet the required level. The remaining number requires the cooperation of your three sects and one palace. Of course, whatever is obtained within will belong to whoever finds it."
"Three-Star Lord, have you deduced the strength of the expert buried within?" Wang Ming asked.
The Three-Star Lord was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "At the very least, it will not be below the Heavenly Mechanism Realm."
Peak Master Mo Xian and the other three exchanged glances and then fell silent. Firstly, they were shocked by the power of Star Cloud Hall. Secondly, they were processing this information. Thirdly, they were communicating with the sect masters of their respective sects. After all, such a major event naturally required the sect masters' approval.
Furthermore, whether they should participate in such an action was uncertain. After all, such a spatial ruin was clearly not a simple exploration. With the slightest carelessness, there was a possibility of death. Moreover, the disciples dispatched would be the future pillars of their respective sects.
"Ask for their opinions," Ye Zhengwei replied after a moment of thought upon hearing Peak Master Mo Xian's transmission.
After receiving the message, Peak Master Mo Xian's gaze immediately shifted to Li Xuan and the other ten people.
"Peak Master Mo Xian, you can discuss it with them," the Three-Star Lord said, seeing this. His demeanor suggested that he had already guessed who held the decision-making power in the Body Sect.
Peak Master Mo Xian walked to Li Xuan and the other ten people and, after briefly recounting the entire story, looked at them.
"Little Junior Brother, what do you think?" Yu Heng, Song Tao, and the others all looked at Li Xuan and asked after hearing the news.
Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Peak Master Mo Xian and said, "I think it's worth a try. Since Star Cloud Hall can send one hundred and thirty disciples, why should we be afraid?"
