How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

"Please wait a moment, my esteemed talents!"

Ning Tian and his five companions paused slightly, raised their eyes in unison, and looked calmly at the referee.

Ning Tian remained calm and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The referee stepped aside, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and gazed deferentially at the high platform of the nine Emperor-level forces. He slowly spoke, "Congratulations to the five of you for topping the Central Continent's Prodigy Ranking! The reason we've asked you to stay is that several major imperial clans and top-tier holy lands have collectively extended invitations to you!"

The moment those words were spoken, countless cultivators trembled.

"Damn, all five of them have been recruited into an Emperor-level power. That's amazing."

"With your physique and combat strength, you too can join the Imperial Clan."

"These five people are about to rise to the top in one step starting today."

"How envious! To be born into the imperial family! That would bring glory to one's ancestors."

"How could we not bring glory to our ancestors? Those are the nine great emperor-level forces! Unrivaled giants that have ruled the Xuanhuang Continent for countless ages and overlooked billions of sects!"

Just as everyone was in shock, a clear and authoritative voice rang out from the high platform.

It's Xuanyuan Guyun!

He sat upright on the imperial throne, his white robes billowing in the wind, his gaze fixed on the petite and exceptionally talented Ning Yun, his tone filled with an unwavering certainty:

"Young lady Ning Yun, you possess the ancient double pupils, a talent rarely seen throughout the ages. My Xuanyuan Imperial Clan has taken a liking to you!"

"From this moment forward, you will return with me to the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan to focus on your cultivation. You don't need to worry about your sect; I will personally send someone to communicate with them, and they won't dare to raise any objections!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a powerful and domineering voice followed from the other side. It was Huangfu Yun, the patriarch of the Huangfu imperial clan, who stared intently at Ning Tian, ​​who was at the head of the group:

"Ning Tian! Your combat strength is unparalleled on the list of geniuses, invincible among those of the same realm, and unmatched in killing those of higher realms!"

"Our Huangfu Imperial Clan has made an exception and accepted you. You will return to the Huangfu Imperial Clan with us shortly to begin your cultivation!"

Immediately afterward, another voice rang out. It was Mo Wushang from the Yao Guang Holy Land, who looked at the ethereal Mu Qingcheng and said:

"My beautiful lady, you possess the supreme Reincarnation Body, unparalleled combat prowess, and a pure Dao heart. Our Yao Guang Holy Land assures you that upon returning with us, we will bestow upon you the title of Holy Maiden of Yao Guang. You will one day lead the Holy Land's lineage!"

The Heavenly Lord of the Taiqing Holy Land stroked his beard and nodded, his gaze falling on the Taoist master, whose abilities were profound, his tone full of appreciation:

"Master Hua! Your magic is exquisite and your Taoist skills are profound. You are a Taoist genius who appears only once in a thousand years. If you enter our Taiqing Holy Land, you can receive the supreme Taoist inheritance and directly reach the peak of the Great Dao. Wait a moment, come back to the Taiqing Holy Land with us."

Finally, the patriarch of the Murong family spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping over the burly and domineering Cai Kunkun: "Cai Kunkun, your physical body is unparalleled, and your Savage Battle Body has boundless potential. My Murong Imperial Clan has also taken a liking to you. Wait a moment, come with us back to the Murong Imperial Clan!"

Of the nine emperor-level forces, five acted simultaneously and each obtained the person they wanted.

On the high platform, a group of powerful figures stood proudly, brimming with confidence. In this entire Xuanhuang Continent, there was no one who didn't want to join their nine Emperor-level forces.

Seeing that the others remained silent, Huangfu Yun spoke again, his tone condescending and disdainful, saying indifferently:

"The five of you need not hesitate; feel free to leave with us. We will send someone to negotiate with your sect personally. They won't dare refuse to release you, nor do they have the right to obstruct the decisions of our major imperial-level forces!"

The millions of cultivators below the stage were shaken to their core. Everyone felt that these five people would definitely agree and ascend to the heavens in one step!

However, the next second, on the arena, Ning Tian stood tall and straight, his eyes cold as frost, and his words were resounding and shook the heavens and earth, directly shattering everyone's understanding!

"sorry."

"We will not join any of your imperial clans or holy lands."

"In this lifetime, I will never leave our sect!"

"Brother is right, I will not leave my master," Xiao Ningyun echoed.

"Me too, I won't join any of your imperial clans or holy lands," Mu Qingcheng replied.

"What kind of bullshit imperial clans and holy lands do they even deserve to let us join?" Kun Kun said with a look of disdain.

"Brother Kun is right. What kind of trash is this? They don't even deserve to let us join them."

—BOOM—!!!

Upon hearing their words, the entire room erupted in chaos!

Everyone stared in disbelief at Ning Tian and his group on the stage, their minds completely blank!

"What exactly happened?"

"Giving up a once-in-a-millennium Emperor-level opportunity? Giving up a chance to rise to the top in one step? Are they crazy?"

"Don't they know what the nine Emperor-level forces represent? They actually gave up?"

"Impossible! Did we hear that right?"

"It's possible for one person to misunderstand, but do you think it's possible for hundreds of thousands of people to misunderstand?"

"Then why did they refuse?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

On the high platform, Huangfu Yun, who had been calm, suddenly turned grim, and his fierce aura burst forth!

He suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with anger, and roared:

"What are you talking about?!"

"Ning Tian! How dare you refuse my Huangfu Imperial Clan?!"

"In the previous battle of prodigies, you crippled my Imperial Prince Huangfu and disgraced my imperial clan! Now, my imperial clan is setting aside past grievances and making an exception to accept a lowly person like you, and you dare to refuse?!"

"Do you want to die?!"

The people from the major imperial clans and holy lands also locked their eyes on the five people in the arena, their killing intent chilling!

The entire place was deathly silent; no one dared to breathe.

Faced with overwhelming rage, Ning Tian and his four companions stood shoulder to shoulder, their figures as upright as mountains, none of them retreating even a step.

Before Ning Tian could speak, Kun Kun threw his head back and burst into laughter, his voice rough and domineering, filled with extreme arrogance and disdain:

"What kind of bullshit imperial-level power is this? They dare ask us to join them!"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourselves in the mirror? Do you even deserve to be called experts?!"

"Hahaha... I, Brother Kunkun, tell you all to take a piss and look at yourselves. You all look like shifty-eyed rats. Do you even deserve to be our members? Bah!" the mage chimed in.

Kun Kun and the mage have single-handedly defeated several major imperial clans and holy lands! Arrogant! Overbearing!

At this moment, the hundreds of millions of cultivators in the audience were completely stunned, and the faces of all the powerful figures from the nine Emperor-level forces turned ashen!

The ancestor of the Huangfu imperial clan roared furiously, his voice like a thunderclap from the heavens!

In an instant, the terrifying pressure of a quasi-emperor crashed down from the high platform!

In an instant, the entire arena trembled violently, and the black jade surface of the arena cracked and spread out in dense cracks!

A fierce wind raged, and the hundreds of thousands of cultivators below the stage were instantly forced to stoop and their knees ached by the terrifying pressure. Countless people involuntarily knelt on the ground, their faces pale, their hearts trembling, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

The entire arena was completely silent, save for the terrifying roar of the Emperor's overwhelming power crushing the heavens and earth.

As the most powerful force in the Central Plains, they have dominated the ages and ruled over all living beings. Ordinary sects' geniuses would fight tooth and nail to become their disciples. Today, they have condescended to recruit five people as a group, which is already an immense favor!

But what I got in return was an unwavering rejection and even more unrestrained public insults!

Xuanyuan Guyun, Yaoguang Saint Lord, Taiqing Holy Land, and Murong Imperial Clan all wore solemn expressions, filled with anger.

The combined might of the five emperors was overwhelming and vast, completely locking down Ning Tian, ​​Ning Yun, Mu Qingcheng, the mage, and Kun Kun!

Just as Dean Qinglan was about to get up to stop him, she was stopped by a look from the Sword Master of Guiyuan.

Dean Qinglan glanced at the Sword Master of Guiyuan and Liu Bai, and seeing that the two of them shook their heads at her, she did not get up.

This scene was also witnessed by Ji Changkong from the Tianji Tower nearby. Ji Changkong had long seen that the five people had extraordinary luck and were shrouded in a layer of heavenly secrets, so he knew that they were not simple people. Therefore, he remained silent from beginning to end and just watched.

On the high platform, Ancestor Huangfu, his hair standing on end in fury, exuded an aura of imperial rage that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth. He stared intently at Ning Tian, ​​his voice like thunder in a prison, shaking the very heavens and earth.

"presumptuous!!!"

"Our imperial clan will forgive your past transgressions and pardon you. Allowing you to join our clan is already an immense opportunity for you. You mere ants, how dare you speak so arrogantly?!"

"Do you really think that just because you've topped the Central Plains Prodigy Ranking, you have the right to be arrogant in front of our major imperial-level forces?"

"That old bastard from the Huangfu family! He bullies the younger generation and bullies the weak because of his cultivation level! I'll remember you today! You just wait!" Kun Kun cursed angrily.

This angry outburst was undisguised, directly accusing Huangfu Laozu of bullying the weak and being arrogant and fierce.

The already ashen face of the Huangfu imperial clan's ancestor instantly contorted into a ferocious expression, his aged eyes flashing with chilling killing intent.

"presumptuous!!"

The Huangfu Ancestor has lived for ten thousand years, sitting atop the Central Plains and holding the power of the Huangfu Imperial Clan for eternity. When has he ever been so publicly insulted and provoked by a mere junior ant?

He didn't waste any more words. He covered his five fingers together, and a terrifying palm force wrapped with endless imperial runes suddenly took shape!

It crashed down towards Kun Kun on the stage! This palm strike was enough to cripple Kun Kun.

Ning Tian's pupils shrank drastically, and he instantly tried to step forward to block in front of him. Mu Qingcheng and the mage also changed their expressions drastically, and tried to join forces to form an array to resist!

But just as this fatal blow was about to land...

A dazzling phoenix cry, tearing through eternity and resounding throughout the heavens and earth, suddenly exploded!

Om-! !

The clear, sacred, domineering, and majestic phoenix cry pierced through layers of quasi-emperor power, shaking the vast sky!

Endless, blazing crimson divine fire suddenly poured down from the void, and a phoenix figure suddenly appeared above the Heavenly Capital Square. Its feathers were gilded, and its body was surrounded by the overwhelming pressure of a quasi-emperor, both sacred and majestic!

It is Phoenix Ashes!

A magnificent phoenix body spanned the sky above Kunkun, its wings suddenly spreading out, and endless divine fire condensed into an extremely hard phoenix barrier!

boom!!!

Ancestor Huangfu's palm strike slammed hard against the Phoenix Fire Barrier!

A deafening roar shattered the heavens and earth, and a terrifying energy shockwave swept across the arena's array, shattering it the instant it made contact!

As the intense light slowly dissipated and the violent aftershocks subsided, the deadly palm strike was blocked by Jin Xiao!

Kun Kun was safe and sound, standing steadily in place.

"Well done, Jinxiao!" Little Ningyun said in her childish voice.

On the high platform, Ancestor Huangfu's pupils shrank sharply, followed by an extremely cold sneer. His killing intent intensified as he stared intently at the five people on the arena and the suddenly appearing phoenix. His voice, as cold as ice, echoed throughout the entire arena:

"snort!"

"A mere phoenix at the second level of the Quasi-Emperor realm thinks it can protect them? That's incredibly naive!"

"Even if you add that demonic beast on the jade table, it wouldn't dare to act arrogantly in front of me?"

His quasi-emperor aura surged once more, a powerful force sealing off the entire arena of geniuses, cutting off all escape routes. His tone was ruthless and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

"today!"

"The five of you, plus a phoenix and a beast!"

"No one can live without this capital city!"
