"There are only eight swords platforms this time?" Mei Xue adjusted her aura as she walked along the cloud-shrouded corridor.
After entering the fifth region, everything changed. There were only a dozen or so corridors connecting the sea of clouds, but their size and length were more than ten times that of the original.
Turning around, he saw several gigantic immortal swords standing between the fourth and fifth regions like stone tablets, separating the entire Heavenly Sword Path into two.
Judging from the sword qi emitted by the huge swords, it was likely that even the feathered serpent wouldn't be able to easily break through this defense. This was the power of the Heavenly Sword Formation.
It seemed that the Divine Will Ranking Battle had officially begun from this region.
The holy beast Kirin, who was hidden behind the Heavenly Sword Path, finally made a move to temporarily suppress the threat posed by the feathered serpent, giving the Divine Will Immortal Warlocks in the fifth region a safe battlefield.
The Heaven and Earth Qi surrounding this corridor was the best proof. Just by walking along this corridor, Mei Xue could feel her overdrawn energy quickly recovering.
The little life trying to break out of the Dragon's Love Bracelet on his right hand seemed to be enjoying the nourishment of the Heaven and Earth Qi. Mei Xue could even hear its tiny but powerful heartbeat.
"Dong!
Dong! "Following the heartbeat of the little life, Mei Xue's own heartbeat sped up as well.
This was the resonance of life. It was an inseparable bond between the two of them, a contract made before they were born.
Even though the little guy had absorbed nearly half of Mei Xue's essence, causing him to suffer along the way, Mei Xue was still looking forward to the little guy's arrival.
The child of the Blue Dragon, the head of the four holy beasts, the source of life bestowed by the head of the immortals, was finally born in this era. What would it be like?
If its mother was the holy beast Blue Dragon, then it must be a majestic and sacred dragon.
With such a happy mood, Mei Xue finally arrived at one of the eight large sword platforms towering in the sea of clouds in the fifth region.
Compared to the Sword Discourse Arena in the previous few regions, the Sword Discourse Arena in the fifth region was much larger, and its position in the sea of clouds was also clearly higher.
The huge amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi turned into a visible mist that surrounded this incomparably huge sword platform. The density of the mist made Mei Xue recall the reward she received in the Blue Dragon College's entrance examination in the Blue Dragon Hall.
"Tai Chu."
With a thought, Mei Xue summoned [Absolute Beginning]. Since the start of the Divine Will Ranking Battle, this was the first time he had the time to fully comprehend the mysteries of the sea of clouds.
"Wow!"
Just as Mei Xue had predicted, the summoned Absolute Beginning immediately rushed into the sea of clouds around the Sword Discourse Arena with a happy voice, and then began to swallow the mist that was filled with spirit energy.
In just a short while, [Absolute Beginning]'s body grew a little bigger. This kind of environment that was filled with Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was simply too wonderful for a spiritual life form like her.
Mei Xue smiled as he looked at [Absolute Beginning], who was happily swimming in the sea of clouds. It was as if he had returned to the time when the two of them depended on each other in Blue Dragon College.
At that time, he had only barely grasped the [Absolute Beginning], a type of support immortal art. He was still filled with unease towards the entrance examination of Blue Dragon College, and was worried about whether or not he would be able to enter the famous immortal art academy.
Now that he thought about it, it was truly a simple and happy period of time. At that time, [Absolute Beginning] was still small, and could only carry a small cloud that floated in the air.
The current [Absolute Beginning] had already grown to the point where she could cover an area of several hundred meters. It was like a babbling child that had grown into a slender and elegant young lady.
The only thing that didn't change was that she still loved to cling to his side. She always loved to act like a spoiled child, and always loved to do bad things with good intentions.
"Rumble!" At the edge of the sea of clouds, there was a flash of lightning, as if it was a sign that something was coming.
Mei Xue didn't notice the strange phenomenon over there. Instead, she closed her eyes and connected to her Twin Body.
"How's the situation on your side?"
Since he needed to focus on breaking through, Mei Xue temporarily didn't control his Twin Body, Xuanyuan Xue. Instead, he let her fight on her own.
"Everything's going well."
Xuanyuan Xue's answer was simple and clear. Clearly, no one could stop her from advancing from the first to the fourth region.
"Then, let's act according to plan."
"If necessary, we can use that …"
Mei Xue ended the telepathic connection, satisfied. He didn't have to worry about Xuanyuan Xue's combat strength. Her strength had even exceeded his imagination, the one who created her.
He was determined to win this Divine Will Ranking Battle.
"Wah … It's here …" [The Beginning], who was absorbing the surrounding sea of clouds, suddenly warned Mei Xue.
From their shared vision, Mei Xue saw lightning flashing from a higher altitude. The entire sea of clouds was split apart by this lightning, leaving a clear mark.
"Rumble!"
As the bolt of lightning approached, the corridor that Mei Xue had originally observed that was closest to the Sword Discourse Arena had inconceivably moved and turned in another direction.
What was going on?
Could it be that the rules had changed again?
Or could it be that someone had used their own strength to break the rules of the Divine Will Ranking Battle and specifically chose him?
Why, who?
Through the vision of [The Beginning], Mei Xue could clearly see the bolts of lightning advancing towards the Sword Discourse Arena that he was at.
"Nine Heavens Resounding Thunder, Empyrean Empyrean, descend!"
When that beautiful figure accompanied the lightning from the Nine Heavens descended on the Sword Discourse Arena that Mei Xue was at, Mei Xue finally knew who the person who broke the rules was.
That perfect bearing that was like the rain in an empty valley, the calm expression of stepping on the clouds, the peerless face that swayed under the Yin Yang Bagua Umbrella, he was all too familiar with it.
"Teacher Qingbai …" If possible, Mei Xue didn't want to become enemies with this girl who stepped on the clouds, at least not now.
Unfortunately, he had no choice.
Because, Qingbai had chosen him. In front of Qingbai, who was so close yet worlds apart, Mei Xue didn't have the chance to choose any other opponent.
"Mei Xue, I've finally found you."
Qingbai tiptoed and put away the Yin Yang Bagua Umbrella in her hands. She smiled at the youth in front of her and extended her hand.
The broken and reassembled ancient legacy — the Rooftop Stone Slab was shining in her hand.
At this moment, Qingbai was emitting an unprecedented charm.
That was the first ray of sunlight after the rain, that was the grass that was still growing out of the darkness after being pressed down by the rocks.
The ancient Rooftop Stone Slab was releasing an alluring aura to Mei Xue, attracting Mei Xue's heart.
