How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Inside Yunmeng Pavilion... the evening breeze swept through the hall, gently stirring the wind chimes under the eaves, and the delicate, clear sounds gradually dispelled the restlessness brought on by the past few days.

Liu Yiyi looked at Ning Tian and the other four, and asked, "Disciples, have you come to Central Continent for sightseeing, or to participate in this year's Heavenly Pride Arena?"

"To be honest, Pavilion Master Liu, we have come here to participate in the Heavenly Pride Arena Battle. We wish to witness the top geniuses of Central Continent. We wonder if Pavilion Master Liu could give us a detailed introduction to the relevant matters of the Heavenly Pride Arena Battle."

"sure."

"Actually, the main purpose of holding the Prodigy Arena is for us, the Emperor-level forces, to select geniuses. Each Prodigy Arena is hosted by our nine Emperor-level forces in rotation. The host can select one genius first, and other forces cannot compete for that genius. The remaining geniuses are then selected and allocated by the respective Emperor-level forces."

If we perform well, can we ultimately choose not to join your faction?

Of course it's possible, but it rarely happens.

"The prodigies from our nine Emperor-level forces will also participate, honing their skills through arena battles. In addition to the prodigies from the Central Continent, some families from the other four regions will also bring their own prodigies to participate. If they are selected by our Emperor-level families, it will be a great leap forward, and their entire family will benefit from it."

"That's true," Kun Kun replied. "If we can establish a relationship with Emperor-level forces like yours, even some Great Saints or Quasi-Emperors will have to consider your reputation and won't dare to easily attack their families."

"Hmm...that's why the Prodigy Arena is always so lively. After all, who wouldn't want to acquire more resources and join a more powerful force!"

"Sect Master Liu," Ning Tian asked, "I'd like to know which outstanding individuals will be participating this year?"

"There are indeed a few people you need to keep an eye on. The first is Xuanyuan Qing, the imperial son of the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan. He is 25 years old this year and his cultivation has reached the peak of the Saint Realm. He possesses the Primordial Sword Emperor Body and is born with the Imperial Sword Aura. His aura is enough to suppress his peers and he has a suppressive effect when fighting enemies. Fighting against opponents of higher levels is easy for him, and he currently maintains an undefeated record."

"Although this person appears somewhat arrogant and conceited, he is ruthless and acts domineeringly. If you encounter him, please be very careful."

"The second is Shen Changqing from the Taiqing Holy Land. The Taiqing Holy Land has a rule that disciples cannot use the character 'Qing' in their names, but he is the only exception. His talent directly alarmed the previous Holy Lord, who personally bestowed upon him the name 'Changqing'. He became a disciple of the current Holy Lord, which means that he is very likely to be the future Holy Lord of Taiqing."

"He is 26 years old this year, and his cultivation level is also at the peak of the Saint Realm. He possesses the Limitless Dao Body and cultivates the Taiqing Limitless Dao, which emphasizes the return of all things to oneness, and the return of oneness to the limitless. He does not practice any weapons such as swords, but only focuses on the word 'nothingness'. He is also quite arrogant, with a cold and taciturn personality, and lacks human warmth."

"The third is Murong Shuang, the princess of the Murong imperial clan. She is the only princess among the three imperial clans. She is 25 years old this year, has reached the peak of the Saint Realm in cultivation, possesses the Xuan Yin Divine Body, and cultivates the Tai Yin Power."

"She herself didn't care about the position of the Empress, focusing solely on cultivation. Her personality was as cold as ice, making her appear lonely and ruthless."

"The fourth is Mengyao, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land. She is 28 years old, possesses the Heavenly Sound Holy Body, and has reached the peak of the Holy Realm. She cultivates the Dao of Sound. Every word she speaks contains the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao, and can be used as an attack."

"The fifth is Jian Wuchen of Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, 24 years old, possessing the Five Elements Sword Body, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the Saint Realm. It is said that among his peers, no one can withstand three of his sword strikes. This person is gentle and refined, not at all like a sword cultivator, but more like a scholar."

"There is also Chu Ci, the chief disciple of Qinglan Academy. He is 27 years old, possesses the Literary Heart and Dao Body, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the Saint Realm. He entered the Dao through literature and took words as his method."

"This person is also gentle and refined, with elegant manners, and speaks fluently and eloquently, using words as carefully crafted as poetry."

Hearing that there were so many top geniuses, Ning Tian and the others couldn't contain their excitement and wished that the genius arena battle would start tomorrow.

"Are there only these six people?" Mu Qingcheng asked. "I remember you said there were nine Emperor-level forces."

"Of course, it's not just these six people, but these six are the most outstanding. For example, Huangfu Song of the Huangfu Imperial Clan is slightly inferior to these six. There's also Ji Xingyue of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, who is most skilled at divination. As for our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, we haven't produced any top-tier geniuses in recent years, and we are still somewhat behind these six."

"Sect Master Liu, among these six people, who is the strongest?"

"I can't be sure about that either; we'll only know after they actually compete. But compared to them, I have higher hopes for you, Ning Qin Chuan. Possessing the legendary Supreme Bone and having the Great Emperor as your personal mentor, your talent is truly heaven-defying."

"Sect Master Liu, how did you know that my senior brother possesses the Supreme Bone?" Kun Kun asked curiously.

The others also looked at Liu Yiyi with curiosity.

"Cai Qin Chuan, have you forgotten what happened in Shuize City so quickly?" Liu Yiyi laughed. "The fact that Ning Qin Chuan used the Supreme Bone to unleash the Heavenly Tribulation Light to kill a Saint is now common knowledge among the major powers in the Central Continent."

Hearing Liu Yiyi's words, Kun Kun scratched his head awkwardly and laughed, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten, haha!"

"How about I take you out for a good look around Tiandu City tomorrow?"

"No need," Ning Tian replied. "We plan to stay here and adjust our condition to prepare for the Heavenly Pride Arena Battle in three days."

"Alright then. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Brother, I want to go on stage and fight too!" Little Ningyun said in a childish voice, hands on her hips.

"You're not allowed to participate. You're too young. We'll let you participate in a few years when you're older. Then you can just watch from below the ring."

"No way! I'm not a kid anymore, and I'm already this strong; none of them can beat me!"

"No, you're only 5 years old. What if you get hurt?"

"Don't be afraid of getting hurt! I have the Heaven-Mending Technique! I'll be healed in no time."

"No matter what tricks you have, it's no use. You just stay in the audience."

"Fine! I won't go then," Xiao Ningyun said, pouting.

Hearing that Ning Yun wanted to run up to the arena to "play" again, the group exchanged smiles, already used to the sect's senior sister's playful nature.

Several trusted subordinates said, "Let me have someone take you to a place to rest!"

Alright... "Then I'll have to trouble Pavilion Master Liu."

"Don't mention the trouble; the fact that you came all this way is already a huge favor to me."

"Someone come...please escort my distinguished guests to the courtyard to rest."
