Off in the distance, someone saw this and was confused.
Shang Qing approached Tai Yuan Lord step by step, looking down at him from above.
At that moment, Tai Yuan Lord realized that he had not touched the ground at all and was only floating about a centimeter above the ground.
"Now, can you take me to the Ten Arbiters?" Shang Qing asked indifferently, as if defeating Tai Yuan Lord was as easy as crushing an ant.
Tai Yuan Lord looked up with difficulty. "I- I don't know where they are."
"Then let's go together. If you see them, point them out."
Tai Yuan Lord nodded, panting heavily. He looked at Shang Qing with an intense fear in his eyes; this person was too terrifying.
The Mountain and Sea Realm was huge, but no matter how big it was, they would always run into people.
Two hours later, Shang Qing suddenly stopped and looked to the right where a man was passing by.
Tai Yuan Lord was puzzled.
Shang Qing looked at the man. "Stop."
The man looked back, puzzled. "What's the matter?"
Shang Qing's gaze was calm. "Try to leave." With that, he waved his hand, and a stream of air whizzed past him, instantly disappearing and crossing the void to appear in front of the man.
Tai Yuan Lord's eyes widened as he stared at this scene. He had just been crushed by this stream of air.
The stream of air descended, and the man's gaze changed. His aura exploded, transforming into a giant ruler that measured the void. The man himself disappeared along with the ruler by a thousand meters.
Shang Qing's eyes flashed, and the stream of air disappeared once more. When it reappeared, it was right in front of the man and viciously slamming into him.
The man frowned and raised his hand. His palm danced as he used several battle techniques in the shortest amount of time possible to disintegrate the stream of air. Each battle technique shocked Tai Yuan Lord, and they were no less powerful than Bie Junsong. However, the stream of air did not change at all, and it could not even slow it down. It tore through the void and slammed into the man.
The man snorted. He did not know how he did it, but his body suddenly disappeared and did not reappear. The stream of air circled in place before finally returning to Shang Qing's body.
Tai Yuan Lord was confused. What had happened?
Where did that guy go?
Shang Qing was calm. "So it's someone from the Ce Family. Ce Secret: Star Chess. The next time I see you, I won't let you run away." He then continued walking.
Tai Yuan Lord was stunned. It was a secret technique? Wasn't the Ce Family the Seven Courts?
How could a descendant of the Seven Courts who knew a secret technique be chased away?
He looked at Shang Qing's eyes.
Another two hours passed, and thunder rumbled in the sky. A figure with a cold gaze flew into the distance.
Shangqing raised his head and waved his hand. On the surface of his body, a stream of air shuttled through the void, pushing aside the lightning and sweeping towards the man.
The man was none other than Ku Lei. He had subdued several cultivators for his own use. Under the power of thunder, he had never met a worthy opponent. Even cultivators of the same level as him would not provoke him at this time. He had never expected to be attacked for no reason.
The airflow was truly miraculous. Ku Lei's lightning could not obstruct it in the slightest. He felt that something was amiss, so he raised his hand and pointed out. A giant finger descended. One Finger Zen.
One Finger Zen successfully hit the air current and pierced through it. However, the air current instantly fused together and blasted directly onto his body.
Ku Lei's chest tightened and he almost vomited blood. He looked down in disbelief. What the hell?
He saw Shang Qing and the other two streams of qi that were coiling around Shang Qing's body. His pupils shrank. What is that?
Shangqing waved his hand, and the air current attacking Ku Lei suddenly expanded, covering the entire sky and pressing down.
Ku Lei gritted his teeth, and his nine-lined battle force soared into the sky. Lightning crackled around his body, and in a flash, his speed reached its peak.
Even Shang Qing could not react to such extreme speed.
Ku Lei disappeared, and Shang Qing retracted his air current. "A descendant of the Ku family. Interesting." He then continued forward.
Tai Yuanjun was stunned. Along the way, he had already met two descendants of the Seven Courts, but they had all been easily defeated. Who was this person?
If the Seven Courts' descendants were unable to give Tai Yuanjun a direct shock, then the third powerhouse that Shang Qing was concerned about was truly shocking. This was because they had met Wen Sansi.
Shang Qing sized up Wen Sansi in surprise. "You're the Ten Arbiters Scholar?"
Wen Sansi's gaze was unprecedentedly solemn. Those three streams of qi gave him an unshakable feeling. None of his peers could give him such a feeling. This was the first time he had met someone of the same generation.
"You are?" Wen Sansi asked.
Although the Ten Arbiters had great influence in the Innerverse and Outerverse and knew many things, they knew very little about the Neoverse. Even in the Neoverse, not many people knew of Shang Qing's existence.
Those who could participate in the contest for the Star Tower and enter the Mountain and Sea Realm's mainland were the Neoverse's most elite and had the most powerful backgrounds. Not all of them recognized Shang Qing, but all of them had heard of him.
"Not only has the Ten Arbiters' name spread throughout the Innerverse and Outerverse, but it has even spread to the Glory Realm. I'd like to see for myself." Shang Qing then waved his hand, causing a stream of qi to rush out. His attack was very simple, even more so than Lan Si's. Lan Si's Overlaying Stacks also had the Empty Palm, but Shang Qing only had the attack of a stream of qi.
However, this seemingly simple attack caused Wen Sansi's hair to stand on end. He quickly retreated and condensed an ancient character in the void, forming the number 'seven' and trapping the stream of qi within. Then, he left without looking back.
The next moment, the Literary Prison cracked open and finally shattered. The stream of qi bombarded the void, causing ripples to spread outwards for five kilometers, fifty kilometers, a thousand kilometers, and even ten thousand kilometers.
Quite a few people were touched by the ripples in the void, and they were all shocked. They felt an irresistible power, and they felt a supreme reverence. They could not help but prostrate themselves in worship.
In the distance, Wen Sansi's expression was extremely solemn. He had always been cautious, and this was the most cautious he had ever been in a fight with someone of the same generation. However, he still felt that it was not enough. "In the future, if I run into that person, I'll have to leave immediately. I'll think thrice before I act."
Shang Qing retracted his stream of qi and sighed. "He really is on the same level as the Neoverse's top descendants. He should be proud that he was able to retreat safely."
Tai Yuanjun was stunned, as he had never imagined that one of the Ten Arbiters would be so easily defeated. Although they had not been defeated, their defeat had been even worse than defeat, as they had not even dared to exchange blows.
He could clearly see that the person in front of him was perhaps — no, definitely the strongest person in this Star Tower contest.
Not long after, the Hall of Honor's top disciple, Shang Qing, had used the Three Suns Ancestral Qi to defeat the Seven Courts' descendants. News of the Ten Arbiters' Ten Arbiters quickly spread throughout the Mountain and Sea Realm, causing an uproar.
The Three Suns Ancestral Qi was the strongest technique in the Human Domain, and this had been the case since ancient times. However, no one knew exactly how powerful it was. Now that there was a comparison, everyone knew that the Three Suns Ancestral Qi was unparalleled.
Within the Sirius Sect, Lu Yin had already stayed within the Jade Disc for a month, and the number of stars around his body had reached 302. Even though he had been very confident in himself, he had not expected to be able to circulate so many stars in his first visit to Sirius' Jade Disc. He had surpassed Mu Ziying, and among the Sirius Sect's disciples, he was second only to the Four Ultimates, Qiushi.
As he watched the stars revolve in the sky, Lu Yin was afraid that the outside world would suspect him, so he left first.
At that moment, outside the canyon of Sirius' Jade Disc, Yao Ji's flames were already pointed at the sky, but they also contained an indescribable feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
He hated Lu Yin for cutting the queue and entering Sirius' Jade Disc early to cultivate, but he was also shocked by how long Lu Yin had stayed within.
In the history of the Sirius Sect, very few people had been able to stay within Sirius' Jade Disc for more than a month, but Lu Yin had already done so. If he continued to stay within, then he would be recorded in the history of the Sirius Sect. No, he could already be recorded.
Mu Ziying's eyes were filled with amazement as he looked at Lu Yin. He felt like he was looking at a peerless genius of the current generation.
During this period of time, news from the Mountain and Sea Realm had been constantly spreading, and he had heard many rumors. In particular, he had heard that the Prime Clear had continuously defeated various experts and truly established herself as unparalleled.
"The Prime Clear, Mavis, and Eldest Sister should be the top experts in this competition. I'm not sure if any of the Ten Arbiters are hiding their strength. As for this Lu Yin …" Mu Ziying could not make a judgment. This person's strength was rare among his peers, but he was still from the Innerverse and Outerverse, so his achievements were limited for now. No matter how great his talent was, it only represented the future.
For now, no matter how strong the Ten Arbiters were, they would not be able to surpass those people. They did not even know how terrifying those people were, and it would cause them to despair.
"Someone's coming out!" a disciple cried out.
Yao Ji and the rest looked over and saw that it was Lu Yin.
Lu Yin walked out of the underground cavern and smiled at Yao Ji. "Sorry for taking up so much of your time."
Yao Ji was furious, but he did not dare to show his anger. He snorted coldly and charged underground.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "How rude."
Many of the Sirius Sect disciples were speechless, and they suddenly felt some sympathy for Yao Ji. This arrogant genius had been completely silenced by Lu Yin, and he had actually been cut in line.
Mu Ziying coughed and smiled. "Congratulations on coming out of seclusion, Brother Lu. May I know how your cultivation of the second level went?"
Lu Yin smiled. "I succeeded. May I know how I can enter the Sirius Jade Disc again?
I want to cultivate the third level. "
Many disciples were in an uproar. "He managed to cultivate the second level in just a month? What a monster."
"Otherwise, how could he have used the third method to become a true disciple? Aside from Eldest Sister, no one else in our sect is a match for him."
"Monster."
…
Mu Ziying was shocked by Lu Yin's cultivation talent. "Brother Lu, you can already activate ninety-nine stars?"
Lu Yin nodded and casually replied, "It's not that difficult." He then directly activated ninety-nine stars.
Mu Ziying was instantly speechless.
At this moment, many of the older powerhouses in the Sirius Sect were staring with wide eyes.
"This kid's cultivation speed is too fast."
"He managed to cultivate the second level in just a month. If he was given another chance, he might even be able to surpass Hua Xiao and Mu Ziying. This kid's talent is top-notch."
"Perhaps this kid is very suited to cultivate the Sirius Technique. What a pity."
Within the main hall of the Sirius Sect, Sect Master Yuan Qiong sighed. "His talent is indeed extraordinary." He then thought of something and immediately contacted the core elders.
"Brother Mu, how can I enter the Sirius Jade Disc again?" Lu Yin asked expectantly.
Mu Ziying replied, "It's not easy to enter the Sirius Jade Disc, but it's also easy. All you have to do is make some contributions. The sect doesn't just nurture disciples blindly; the disciples also need to repay the sect."
Lu Yin was helpless. Mu Ziying had mentioned this before, but he didn't have the time to do it.
"Brother Lu, the sect will soon bring us to the Mountain and Sea Realm. You should conserve your energy. The Mountain and Sea Realm is very lively right now," Mu Ziying said. He then told Lu Yin about some of the rumors that had occurred in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
