Chapter 27 Sects

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Black mist surged, demonic energy overflowed.

The eerie laughter shook the mountains and rivers, turning countless piles of skulls into dust.

"The Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Prides has finally opened, we have waited for this day for too long."

A ferocious black banner swayed in the void, countless grotesque souls emitted silent roars, sending chills down one's spine.

A massive bone throne loomed over mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"I give you a task, kill all those righteous geniuses, make them tremble at the feet of demons!"

"Yes!"

Beams of demonic light soared into the sky.

Rushing into the enormous vortex.

Demon Realm.

A colossal figure trampled mountains and rivers, its vast wings blotted out the sky.

The giant figure, resembling both a dragon and a phoenix, with eight legs and four wings, seemed like a fusion of myriad spirits.

"Greetings, Demon Emperor!"

All spirits bowed in worship.

"The Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Prides has opened, I need the essence blood of the strongest human geniuses."

"Bring it to me, and you shall be promoted to Demon King, I will personally impart supreme demonic techniques!"

"As you command!"

Thousands of demons soared into the sky.

A small sparrow with dull feathers looked up at the sky.

"In this life, I will slay the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, and bring peace back to the Demon race!"

Buddha Realm.

An ancient Buddha manifested.

Ghost Realm.

The Ghost Emperor awakened.

The Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Prides, seemingly a contest among the young generation of geniuses, is actually a contest of the great era.

The one who stands out will receive the favor of the great era, achieving immortal greatness.

Central Continent, Nine Dragon Valley.

Surrounded by nine mountains, the scenery is majestic, the central valley resembling nine dragons vying for a pearl, extraordinarily divine.

Here lies a sect named the Dragon Raising Sect, though now it trembles in fear.

Because the strong ones have arrived.

Many, many strong ones, so many that most people would never see so many in their lifetime.

The first to arrive was naturally the Zhongzhou Imperial Dynasty.

Not only were there geniuses from major sects venturing into the Ancient Battlefield of Geniuses, but also many from smaller sects, or even rogue cultivators.

The Zhongzhou Imperial Dynasty is a top-tier force in the Great Wilderness, and the human forces of the entire Great Wilderness can be summarized in a catchy phrase.

One Sect, Three Dynasties, Five Sects, Supreme Above and Below.

In total, nine major forces, which are the most prominent nine forces of the Human Race in the First Layer of Heaven.

The One Sect, named the Ancient Sect, has a long history, not just in the First Layer of Heaven, but across all Nine Heavens, it is a behemoth.

The Three Dynasties, named the Zhongzhou Imperial Dynasty, the Jiuli Heavenly Dynasty, and the Supreme Empire.

The Five Sects, named the Great Dao Sect, the YinYang Law Sect, the Taishang Sword Sect, the Shanhe Pagoda Sect, and the Jiezong Sect.

In reality, these are not the absolute nine major forces, many people think the latter part "Supreme Above and Below" is just to match the previous sentence.

But that's not the case.

Above, named the Heavenly Pavilion.

Below, named the Netherworld.

These two forces rarely walk the outside world, and their successors are often lone seedlings, so they can be temporarily ignored.

However, once the successors of these two forces appear, they are peerless geniuses who dominate their peers, and are fierce contenders for the position of Emperor in the future.

"The YinYang Law Sect has arrived!"

A rogue cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

A black and white ship crushed the clouds as it descended from the sky, and anyone pulled out from the ship was a handsome man or a beautiful woman.

Dressed in black and white robes, they had an air of transcendence.

However, this force is often criticized, the YinYang Law Sect is considered normal, but its affiliated sects are somewhat notorious.

That is the famous Joyous Sect across the Great Wilderness.

One thousand seven hundred and twenty-three Joyous Pavilions are spread across the major cities of the Great Wilderness, always full, with exceptionally booming business.

"Damn, look at the attire of those two, has the YinYang Law Sect already confirmed their Saint Son and Saint Daughter so quickly?"

Among the many black and white robes, there was a man in pure white, handsome and radiant, with eyes like stars.

This is the Saint Son of the YinYang Law Sect, Yang Wufa.

There was also a woman, breathtakingly beautiful, with a face like perfect glass, pure and flawless, making anyone who saw her feel ashamed.

This is the Saint Daughter of the YinYang Law Sect, Luo Yuan.

"Every time, the YinYang Law Sect confirms their Saint Son and Saint Daughter the earliest, and every time they are exceptionally strong, I think the YinYang Law Sect really has a knack for selecting them."

"Will this pair also become Dao companions?"

"It's possible. Every time, the Saint Son and Saint Daughter of the YinYang Law Sect end up becoming Dao companions. After all, one embodies Yin, and the other Yang. Who can resist the temptation of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang?"

A faint sword hum echoed through the heavens and earth.

Swords!

In an instant, all the swords of the cultivators seemed to go mad, trembling uncontrollably.

Dozens of sword lights streaked across the sky as cultivators in uniform robes stepped onto their long swords, riding them as they approached.

"The Taishang Sword Sect has arrived!"

"Wow, such intense sword intent! I feel like my magic sword is lucky it's not a person. If it were, it would probably jump out of its scabbard and kowtow twice to the Taishang Sword Sect."

"My sword is almost shattering out of shame..."

"Among all sword cultivators in the world, none can surpass the Taishang Sword Sect. They are too strong."

By the time Lu Ye and the others arrived, the Nine Dragon Valley was already packed.

Almost all the sects had arrived.

Only the two farthest empires were yet to come.

The arrival of the Great Dao Sect caused another wave of exclamations.

Although the Great Dao Sect didn't seem to specialize in any one thing, they were truly powerful, excelling in all aspects.

As a result, among the five sects, the Great Dao Sect was often ranked first.

With the arrival of the Great Dao Sect, numerous powerful figures came over to exchange greetings. Many sharp eyes also scrutinized Lu Ye and the others, their gazes gleaming with battle intent.

It wasn't just the Great Dao Sect that elicited this battle intent; it was present when they looked at each other as well.

This was the first meeting of the new generation of disciples from the major sects.

Which prodigy didn't dream of suppressing their peers and rising with an invincible demeanor?

Lu Ye's gaze also swept over the young people present, his eyes carrying a faint trace of reminiscence. Some of these people had been killed by his own hands, while others would die in future battles.

The path to greatness is indeed paved with bones, as expected.

Linghu Wushuang and a few others approached, quite proactively starting to explain to Lu Ye who among them was particularly formidable and who were the strong enemies.

Little did he know, Lu Ye was far more aware of these things than he was.

For example, the Yang Wufa that Linghu Wushuang had just mentioned—Lu Ye knew exactly how tough his bones were. When he had smashed his skull back then, his own fist had been left aching from the impact.

As time passed.

Yang Wufa, with a smile on his face, walked towards the Great Dao Sect.

His target was clear: the three girls, Chu Ling, Yue Hongling, and Xiao Huarong.

The Great Dao Sect wasn't the first he had approached.

"Greetings, fairies. I am Yang Wufa, the Saint Son of the YinYang Law Sect. May I know your names?"

"Greetings, fellow cultivator. My name is Xiao Huarong."

Xiao Huarong responded with a cold demeanor, yet still politely.

Yang Wufa smiled and nodded, not pressing further, as if he only wanted to ask for a name.

"Greetings, fairy..."

"Get lost!"

The word "get lost" from Yue Hongling came straight at him.

Yang Wufa's smile froze on his face.

"This humble Daoist is from Yin-Yang..."

"Didn’t you hear? I said get lost!" Yue Hongling's eyes widened fiercely.

Yang Wufa...

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. If you get sick from anger, no one will take care of you.

After his smile disappeared, it reappeared when he looked at Chu Ling.

Chu Ling didn’t waste words either; the Demon Sword was already drawn.

Come on, come and I’ll cut you down!

Yang Wufa...

Good, really good!
