Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

“Since things have come to this, regretting is useless. We can only learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating them in the future.”

The elders of the major lineages didn't want to continue this topic, feeling more and more self-reproach and guilt as they spoke.

After all, so many disciples had lost their lives due to their carelessness.

“That's right, there's no point in saying all this now; the situation is what it is.

What we should be focusing on now is who will emerge victorious in this trial.

Judging from the current scores, your Jinyun Immortal Sect is likely to end up at the bottom again.”

Upon hearing this topic, the elders of the other lineages showed strange expressions, turning their gazes towards the elders of the Jinyun Immortal Sect.

“Over the years, apart from Hua Feiyu's surprising performance that one time, you haven't produced any decent disciples.

It might not sound very nice to say it this way.

Actually, it's not that you don't have decent disciples, but compared to our lineages, the quality of your disciples is indeed lacking.

This time, we initially thought that your two prodigies would perform amazingly and soar all the way.

But unexpectedly, they only accumulated a wave of points when they first entered, and then they've been silent ever since.

Even today, their scores still hover around two hundred, which is a huge difference compared to the tens of thousands of points earned by our most outstanding disciples… I don't even know how to describe it.

On the other hand, some of your other inner disciples are barely passable, with the highest scorer having accumulated over three thousand points.

However, three thousand points is not even a third of what our most outstanding disciples have.

I'm not deliberately mocking your Jinyun Immortal Sect, but to be honest, with such a gap, there's simply no chance of catching up.

The subsequent progress is basically predictable.

If your Jinyun Immortal Sect is lucky enough to reach second to last, it would probably be a miracle.”

The elders of the Jinyun Immortal Sect were furious upon hearing these words.

There are four major lineages competing in total, and they had to refer to third place as second to last, deliberately saying it in the most unpleasant way to humiliate them!

“Alas, what does the old saying go? Extreme joy breeds sorrow.

When things are going well, one must always be low-key and not become complacent, otherwise it's easy to get slapped in the face.

I remember when your two prodigies suddenly had a surge in points at the beginning, you looked so excited, as if you had already secured first place.

Who knew that the outstanding performance of your prodigies was just a flash in the pan.

Now it seems that Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian didn't earn those points through their own strength at all.

They probably just had a stroke of good luck and encountered severely injured, dying creatures from the underground alien space, and happened to pick up a bargain.”

“Hmm, that's a well-reasoned analysis. I agree with that statement.

Otherwise, with Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian's cultivation, how could they possibly deal with opponents in the Immortal Realm?

I was still wondering at the time, thinking they really had such abilities, and I was almost fooled.

Facts prove that if it's not real gold, it's still afraid of fire.”

“Stop being so sarcastic!

When our sect's prodigies were in the lead, weren't we allowed to be happy?

Did we say anything back then?

It's become complacency in your mouths.

And look at your faces now, who is the one who is complacent? Don't you know in your hearts? How can you be so shameless?”

The Jinyun elder was furious, unable to bear listening to these people's sarcastic remarks.

They were mocking the sect and belittling Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian.

“Fellow Daoist, why are you getting so agitated? We're just stating the facts.

In this day and age, is it wrong to tell the truth?

There's no need for you to be so angry, is there?

Your behavior seems to be that of someone raging in incompetence, which can easily lead to misunderstandings.”

“Fellow Daoists, why argue? Calm down, everyone, calm down.

What's the use of arguing back and forth?

In the end, it still depends on the performance of each of your disciples in the Land of Forgotten.”

“Well said, I completely agree. In the end, strength speaks for itself, hahaha!”

The elder of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

The other elders smiled without saying a word.

They all enjoyed seeing the people of the Jinyun Immortal Sect suffer setbacks and feel helpless.

The higher-ups of Jinyun are strong, especially the sect's foundation, which is incomparable to them.

The Immortal Slaughtering Formation is extremely powerful, which has always made them envious, jealous, and resentful, making them feel very uncomfortable.

Only during the disciples' competitions do they have the opportunity to suppress Jinyun and regain some psychological balance.

The elders of Jinyun were so angry that their chests heaved violently. They wanted to retort, but they didn't know how.

After all, the scores were right there.

Indeed, they were far ahead, while the highest score on their side was only over three thousand, a huge gap!

Forcing a rebuttal would only make them a laughingstock and give others ammunition.

They could only remain silent with sullen faces, suppressing their anger in their hearts and enduring it.

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian haven't had any change in their scores for so long, so they must have had some kind of encounter, such as entering a special place to obtain opportunities and not encountering creatures from the underground alien space.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense; it's impossible for their scores not to increase at all for a long time.

Of course, it's also possible that they encountered opponents too strong to handle and were being chased and hiding.

That's the worst-case scenario.

They hoped it was the former and not the latter.

The elders of Jinyun couldn't be sure what the situation was, and they felt uneasy.

Unlike their apprehension, Deacon Li was very confident.

He knew very well the abilities of Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian.

When they took on the sect mission, Yuan Chu had killed an evil spirit in the Immortal Realm.

That evil spirit was not only in the Immortal Realm but also one of the stronger ones within it.

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian solved it in a very short time.

This shows that it was not difficult for them to solve.

Although Yuan Chu said that he used the assistance of the Dao of Talismans.

But in this Land of Forgotten, they can also rely on the Dao of Talismans.

The Land of Forgotten is not an ordinary place. There are various fields within it that are conducive to the performance of the art of talismans.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian's scores not increasing, and that is that they were delayed by other things.

For them, that was more important than killing creatures from the underground alien space to get points.

Once they finish that more important thing, their scores will inevitably increase rapidly.

There are still more than half a year left before the end of the Land of Forgotten trial, so there is still plenty of time.

In the end, it is not impossible for Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian to catch up with the top scorers, not at all!

In short, even though they were delayed, Deacon Li believes that in the end, there is hope for them to come from behind, not without any possibility!

“Alas, my sect's inner disciples are truly outstanding, and their scores are increasing rapidly again!”

The elder of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect stroked his beard and laughed loudly, his expression and words full of pride.

At this time, on the light curtain of the formation, the score of an inner disciple named Xuan Bi was continuously rolling, increasing by more than three hundred in a short period!

Obviously, this was another wave of creatures from the underground alien space that had been killed.

Among the inner disciples of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, there were dozens of others whose scores increased at the same time as Xuan Bi's.

The difference was that the scores of those dozens of people increased very little, only one or two points each.

Teamwork, fulfilling one person, only to win, to win glory for the sect.

Many disciples from the four major lineages are doing this.

It's just that the inner disciples of the Jinyun Immortal Sect do have a significant gap.

Not to mention anything else, at least they are completely defeated in terms of obtaining points.

Seeing the proud appearance of the elder of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect and watching the scores of their disciples soar, the elders of the Jinyun Immortal Sect felt very uncomfortable.

The scores of their disciples remained motionless.

At the same time.

Land of Forgotten, near a lake in a certain mountain range.

Jun Wuxie and others, who had been resting and relaxing here for several days, were preparing to set off again.

Before they had time to leave, they felt many powerful auras approaching rapidly.

These auras were not coming from one direction but from all directions.

Obviously, their whereabouts had been exposed, and someone had locked onto their position, dispersing and approaching from all sides.

“It's the creatures of the Ghost Witch Clan. How could they know we're here?”

Mo Qingli was a little surprised. Even if the Yi family colluded with the Ghost Witch creatures, it wouldn't be possible to find this place so quickly.

Besides, the approaching Ghost Witch creatures were forming an encirclement, clearly having determined their position in advance.

If they had sensed it while passing by nearby, that would be impossible.

In terms of perception, these Ghost Witch creatures are far inferior to her and Jun Shen.

“The Ghost Witch creatures have finally come to our door?”

Xuanming Flood Dragon rubbed his hands excitedly, “Is this what you humans call waiting for the rabbit to appear?

They severely injured me back then, almost killing me. Today, I'm going to kill them all and vent my hatred!”

The pupils of Xuanming Flood Dragon, in his human form, turned into rhombuses, flashing with a cold light, and the killing intent in his body had already begun to boil.

“Qingli, you only need to deal with the Ghost Witch creatures in the Eternal Realm later.

There are ten Immortals and dozens of Eternal Peak coming this time.”

Jun Wuxie secretly instructed.

The Ghost Witch creatures in the Immortal Realm are naturally not to be feared. These Ghost Witch creatures are just small shrimp in front of him.

But if Mo Qingli is targeted again, although it won't cause her serious harm, it will definitely put her at a disadvantage, which is unnecessary.

“Jun Shen, are you treating me like a vase?”

Mo Qingli felt a little lost. In Jun Shen's eyes, is she so useless?

Only Ghost Witch creatures in the Immortal Realm are coming.

With Lord Divine Majesty here, there's no need for such caution.

Besides, with her strength, she can completely fight against several Immortal Realm ghost witch beings simultaneously, and won't be at a disadvantage in a short time.

"Yuanchu, let's split up.

I'll deal with the three Immortal Realm beings coming from the south, you guys deal with the rest."

Xuanming Flood Dragon began to divide the labor.

"You deal with the Eternal Life Realm, leave the Immortal Realm ones to me."

"Why should I?"

Xuanming Flood Dragon was very dissatisfied, what's so good about killing Eternal Life Realm beings.

He is an Immortal Realm being, with powerful bloodline, of course he wants to fight those of the same level.

"We came here this time, the four great Dao lineages are competing for points ranking.

Killing an Eternal Life Realm being is ten points, killing an Immortal Realm ghost witch being starts at one hundred points.

The trip to the Immortal Palace has already delayed a lot of time, we should already be far behind in points."

Mo Qingli said coldly.

"So that's how it is, okay, we'll listen to your arrangement."

Xuanming Flood Dragon didn't dwell on it.

At this time, the ghost witch beings were already very close, and the sound of air being torn could already be heard.

Immediately, figures appeared in the sky from all directions, like black meteors cutting through the sky, rising and falling for hundreds of meters, either landing on the lake surface and leaping again, or landing on the treetops and bouncing up again.

After a few rises and falls, the beings of the ghost witch race landed around Jun Wuxie, Mo Qingli, and Xuanming Flood Dragon.

An Immortal Realm being of the ghost witch race looked at them, took out a bone plate and looked at it, the Dao pattern pointer on it pointed straight at the young man in front.

The corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile, and he put away the bone plate magic weapon, "You two are the rising stars of the Jinyun Immortal Sect called Yuanchu and Su Qingqian, the personal disciples of the Supreme Elder?"

Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli didn't speak, Xuanming Flood Dragon couldn't help but speak first, he squinted at the talking ghost witch being with his rhomboid pupils, "Hey, you, whoever you are, are you blind, I'm such a big person, can't you see me?"

"Ignorant thing!"

The ghost witch being didn't expect that this young-looking child would dare to talk to him like this.

He directly attacked, the sharp-nailed palm fingers protruded, and a black energy handprint instantly covered the sky above Xuanming Flood Dragon, grabbing down.

Just as Xuanming Flood Dragon was about to counterattack, Jun Wuxie took a step forward.

With a bang, immortal power surged, impacting forward, like a roaring river, startling the ghost witch being to defend back, no longer caring about attacking Xuanming Flood Dragon.

Although he used defensive techniques in time, he was still impacted and slid backward, his feet rubbing on the ground, leaving two deep ravines, after stabilizing his figure, the Qi and blood in his body churned.

"You are in the Eternal Life Realm?"

The ghost witch being who was repelled had extremely gloomy eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Damn it, as expected, they didn't tell us the real information!

Fortunately, our Protector had already expected it, otherwise we would have capsized today!"

The ghost witch being flicked his sleeves, the black light on his body flourished, and the evil and eerie aura quickly spread.

"According to the Protector's instructions, leave them a breath, capture them alive!"

They didn't say anything more and directly attacked.

Suddenly, ten Immortal Realm ghost witch beings attacked Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli one after another.

They ignored Xuanming Flood Dragon and left it to the Eternal Life Realm beings.

Xuanming Flood Dragon was extremely angry in his heart, feeling that he was being underestimated, seeing the Eternal Life Realm ghost witch beings rushing towards him, he roared, a flood dragon-like sound, shaking the space and mountains, causing the lake to explode.

He took the initiative to meet them, his fists unfolded, and his fist power was overbearing.

All the ghost witch techniques used by the Eternal Life Realm ghost witch beings were shattered by his protective immortal astral energy.

His fist prints, every time they struck, could forcefully penetrate the ghost witch being's defense, directly piercing through it, blood splattering, and screams resounding to the sky.

The Immortal Realm ghost witch beings were shocked, not expecting that the young boy they underestimated would be so fierce.

They were preparing to separate an Immortal Realm being to deal with Xuanming Flood Dragon, but they felt a sharp and unmatched sword intent approaching.

They saw a wave of swords sweeping out from the fingertips of that Yuanchu.

The sword Qi that made up the sword wave, each one made people's minds and souls crack, the blazing sword Dao killing, as if to cut the soul of a person.

The Immortal Realm ghost witch beings were terrified!

How could a person in the Eternal Life Realm be so powerful, casually flicking his fingers, the power is so terrifying!

"Form a defensive formation!"

A ghost witch being shouted, completely disrupting the rhythm, and even the ghost witch curse could not be cast in time.

Several people moved instantly, trying to form a formation.

However, how could they be faster than Jun Wuxie's sword wave.

Boom!

The sword wave impacted, bursting out a muffled roar.

The secret technique barrier displayed by each ghost witch being collapsed at a touch, unable to block it at all.

They all screamed miserably, their bodies were cut in half by the sword wave, and blood spurted like a spring.

The broken bodies quickly merged and instantly returned to their original state.

The Immortal Realm ghost witch beings reacted quickly, after recovering their bodies, most of them locked onto Mo Qingli.

Only two people sacrificed ghost witch magic weapons and launched a fierce attack on Jun Wuxie, trying to restrain him and create an opportunity for their companions to take down Mo Qingli.
