Nangong Hongchen was obviously worried. There was only one reason why the Heavenly Gate Sect would send such a large force, and that was the Ancient Xuanyuan Sword.
Ling Shuiqin had given the Ancient Xuanyuan Sword to Ye Qing for safekeeping in the Void Spirit Dojo.
Because of Ye Qing's heaven-defying strength, he could not find an opponent in the Void Spirit Dojo and successfully protected the Ancient Xuanyuan Sword.
The Ancient Xuanyuan Sword had fallen into the hands of the Levitation Heavenly Palace, but the Heavenly Gate Sect was unwilling to give up and wanted to take it back.
The Ancient Xuanyuan Sword was extremely important to the Heavenly Gate Sect. It was rumored that the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Gate Sect used the Ancient Xuanyuan Sword.
The Heavenly Gate Sect had been collecting the broken Ancient Xuanyuan Sword for many years. If they could collect all of them, they would be able to obtain the inheritance of the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Gate Sect.
Ye Qing understood the reason behind Nangong Hongchen's explanation. However, the Heavenly Gate Sect was not really going to start a war.
The comprehensive strength of the Heavenly Gate Sect and the Levitation Heavenly Palace were on par. If they started a war, it would not benefit the Heavenly Gate Sect and the Levitation Heavenly Palace.
Ye Qing knew that even if the Heavenly Gate Sect came with great fanfare, they would not completely fall out with the Levitation Heavenly Palace.
Sword Master Xuanyuan stood in the sky with a cold gaze. A figure flickered in the sky. It was the leader of the Levitation Heavenly Palace and the Old Taoist Hunyuan.
The leaders of the two great sects in the Heaven Realm were talking in the sky. As for the content of their conversation, it was not something that outsiders could know.
The atmosphere was a little tense. Many Celestial Cultivation elders of the Heavenly Gate Sect were present. It was impossible for them not to make a big move.
Time flew by. The negotiation in the sky lasted for about five minutes. Then, the two leaders returned to their respective camps.
"Brother Hunyuan, since you've agreed, don't go back on your words!
Now, let's start the competition between the Holy Disciples of our two sects! "
Sword Master Xuanyuan was obviously in a good mood. The result of the negotiation was beneficial to them.
The Celestial Cultivation experts of the two great sects could not fight. Otherwise, the death of any Celestial Cultivation expert would be a great loss to both sects.
........ Celestial Cultivation experts were the top of the top sects in the Heaven Realm...
Therefore, the conflict between the Levitation Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect was left to their respective disciples.
The Holy Disciples of the Levitation Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect each represented the standard of the younger generation of their respective sects.
Relatively speaking, the losses to the two sects were not that great to let the Holy Disciples fight. Even if some of the Holy Disciples died in the process of battle, it was still within the acceptable range.
Taoist Hunyuan nodded and agreed with Xuanyuan Swordmaster. As for the ownership of the Xuanyuan Ancient Sword, the two sects would each send three Saints to compete in a best-of-three competition. Whoever won in the end would own the Xuanyuan Ancient Sword.
Both Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect and Levitation Heavenly Palace had close to 100 Saints. They could only send three Saints to fight. Of course, they would choose the most powerful three.
On the Ascension Heavenly Palace's side, under the arrangement of Primordial Chaos, the first ranked Drunken Dream, the second ranked Cripple East Tomb, and the third ranked Frost Rain Lord appeared.
They were publicly recognized as the top three Saints. Their strength was heaven-defying. They had fought with many Saints before and were finally confirmed as the top three.
On the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect's side, the three Saints that appeared were Yingyue Swordmaster, Jinghong Shadow, and Sword Demon Thousand Hands.
The three Saints of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect were also the top three Saints. They were overflowing with talent.
In terms of overall strength, the three Saints of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect were stronger than the Levitation Heavenly Palace.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Swordmaster's face was full of smiles as if he had already obtained the Xuanyuan Ancient Sword.
He kept pressuring and didn't hesitate to bring a group of elders over to force Primordial Chaos to agree to his plan.
The younger generation of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect was famous for being powerful, especially the top three Saints. They were all rare geniuses.
Yingyue Swordmaster, Jinghong Shadow, and Sword Demon Thousand Hands were the top three Saints of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect. Their combined strength firmly suppressed the three Saints of the Levitation Heavenly Palace.
In the Levitation Heavenly Palace's camp, Primordial Chaos looked worried. He knew that his side was at a disadvantage in terms of combat strength and didn't have a high chance of winning.
However, Primordial Chaos had no choice. He couldn't really start a war with the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect.
They had a good reason to take back their ancestor's sword and demanded an explanation from the Levitation Heavenly Palace. Primordial Chaos didn't have a better solution, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.
Primordial Chaos Primordial Chaos's gaze swept across the group of Holy Disciples, focusing on the top three.
There was deep anticipation in his eyes. Although the three Saints of the Levitation Heavenly Palace weren't as strong as the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect in terms of overall strength, the difference wasn't obvious.
As long as the three Saints of the Levitation Heavenly Palace worked hard, they might have a chance to win.
Many of the core disciples in the Levitation Heavenly Palace began to discuss. They knew that Primordial Chaos had decided to let the top three Saints accept the challenge.
"I heard that Senior Brother Drunken Dream once challenged the Yingyue Swordsman and lost. There's still a gap between his strength and the top Saint of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect!"
"That's right. I heard that Senior Brother Dongling Cripple once fought with the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect's Jinghong Shadow. In the end, the Dongling Cripple was severely injured and wasn't a match for the top Saint!"
There were many discussions in the Levitation Heavenly Palace's camp. They had heard some rumors about the top three Saints.
Of course, those were just rumors. Many core disciples of the Levitation Heavenly Palace weren't sure if it was true or not.
Many elders of the Levitation Heavenly Palace were also worried. They didn't think that the top three Saints of the Levitation Heavenly Palace could win.
Nangong Hongchen stepped on the void and walked to the side of the Primordial Chaos Daoist.
He opened his mouth and said slowly, "Leader, how do you plan to arrange their order?"
Nangong Hongchen asked the key question. Primordial Chaos narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "The normal order is that the top Saint of the Levitation Heavenly Palace will fight the top Saint of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect!"
Primordial Chaos's idea was the normal arrangement. If they wanted to defeat the top Saint of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect, the top Saint of the Levitation Heavenly Palace, Drunken Dream, would have a chance.
If the second or third ranked Holy Disciple of the Levitation Heavenly Palace were to fight, there was no way they could defeat Drunken Dream. In a best of three competition, if the Levitation Heavenly Palace lost one round, it would be a huge blow to their morale.
In Primordial Chaos's opinion, the key of the competition was the first round. As long as Drunken Dream won, the Levitation Heavenly Palace's morale would soar and their chances of winning would be much higher.
Of course, everything depended on Drunken Dream's performance. According to Primordial Chaos's evaluation, Drunken Dream had a 40% chance of winning against the Yingyue Swordsman.
"Brother Primordial Chaos, is the Levitation Heavenly Palace ready?
The first Saint of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect to fight is the Yingyue Swordsman! "Sword Master Xuanyuan's vigorous voice sounded.
He also wanted to win the first round to raise the morale of the Heavenly Xuanyuan Sect.
Sword Master Xuanyuan was full of hope for the Yingyue Swordsman. Even if the Levitation Heavenly Palace sent the strongest Saint of the younger generation, Drunken Dream, it would be difficult for them to fight.
