The mightiest stand at the highest peak of all between Heaven and Earth, looking up to which is only a dream for countless cultivators.

To many cultivators, if they were lucky enough to win the favor of the mightiest, then their cultivation journeys would sail smoothly and rapidly.

However, in thousands of years, most of the strongest devote themselves to cultivation and seeking the Immortal Path, not paying much attention to taking disciples. Even many brilliant descendants fail to capture their favor.

It was enviable for many that someone as ordinary as Pang Hong managed to become a disciple of such a powerful master, even more so as the only legitimate disciple.

Now, to have the chance to challenge this disciple of the mightiest, if one can defeat him, the victory would prove to be an incredible opportunity and honor, ultimately becoming famous across Heaven and Earth.

When Pang Hong stepped forward to say they could challenge him, quite a number of cultivators at the Spirit Realm Third Level took a step forward to challenge Pang Hong.

Those who could stand here, whether qualified or simply aspiring, were all exceptional and were the cream of the crop amongst their peers, otherwise, they wouldn’t have reached this level of strength.

“I’ll go!” One cultivator at the Spirit Realm Third Level immediately leaped forward and landed in front of Pang Hong.

This was a prodigy from the Xuantian Sect, though not as brilliant as the true disciples of the Xuantian Sect, he held substantial power amongst his peers.

Unfortunately, this prodigy from Xuantian Sect couldn’t bear a single stroke from Pang Hong.

Clang!

The Shenxiao Sword was unsheathed

Holding the sword, unsheathing it, cutting with smooth and uninterrupted movements!

A dazzling sword light flashed. Almost instantly, an intense sword will seeped through when the sword was drawn out.

Once Pang Hong sheathed his sword, that prodigy from Xuantian Sect had already been eliminated.

“Who is next!” Pang Hong’s face was calm as his gaze swept over the others.

From a distance, people like Zhao Baiyang looked at Pang Hong and thought to themselves, “This child indeed has bits of Pei Xuanjing’s demeanor.”

“I’ll go!”

“…”

Despite Pang Hong’s easy victory over his previous opponents, the truly strong would not shrink back, but would only fight bravely.

However, the outcome remained the same.

These people kept entering the ring, the ultimate conclusion had been determined, almost no one could handle Pang Hong’s strike.

Not until a young prodigy from a sword sect appeared. This prodigy who wielded a divine sword from the sword sect, and Pang Hong were both at the Spirit Realm Fifth Level. Their confrontation set off fearsome combat power, causing many cultivators around them to be filled with awe.

Many cultivators at the Spirit Realm Fifth Level were extremely shocked by the spectacle because by looking at the strength these two were displaying, they realized that if they were in their position, even though their realms were higher, many of them couldn’t be sure of their victory.

In the end, Pang Hong and the sword sect’s prodigy ended in a draw. They unleashed their killer moves and eliminated each other from the tournament in the Forbidden Place.

“Master, I lost.” Pang Hong spoke to Pei Xuanjing with a bit of shame.

He felt that he had been too conceited. Originally, he thought that by conserving his strength, he could challenge cultivators at the Spirit Realm Fifth Level. So, when he initially faced the prodigy of his own realm from the sword sect, he didn’t really put his all into it, otherwise the outcome should not have been like this.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t take it to heart. Pang Hong’s performance today had already made him very satisfied. He flicked his sleeves lightly, Life Essence descended onto Pang Hong, helping him to recover from his injuries.

“You performed very well today, and I’m very satisfied with you.” He said to Pang Hong to put him at ease.

He then told Pang Hong to recover from his injuries and not to think too much. There was no harm in losing this time; he could try harder next time and win back.

After comforting Pang Hong, Pei Xuanjing once again focused his attention on the ongoing contest on the battlefield. The contest didn’t stop even during the time they were speaking, and although the cultivators there might not be as strong as him, Pei Xuanjing was watching it with great interest, observing the skills and divine powers each used.

After all, even after advancing to Pei Xuanjing’s realm, the chances of him having a proper bout with the cultivators of the Sky Wasteland were less frequent. So, even though the cultivators here had lower strength levels, their skills and divine abilities were still novel for Pei Xuanjing. Watching them fighting could inspire him. Even if the chances are one in ten thousand, as long as he gains something, it is a win for Pei Xuanjing.

The lower-tier cultivators aside, confrontation with cultivators like Zhao Baiyang at the Spirit Realm Sixth Level was indeed beneficial to Pei Xuanjing.

Once basics are solidified and they have reached this state, whether individuals were independent practitioners or cultivators from big forces, none of them was weak. The divine abilities they wielded were all quite profound.

After all, cultivators who made it this far, and managed to remain victorious among so many cultivators, are the elite amongst their peers. Most of the cultivators of the Spirit Realm Sixth Level standing in the fighting area now had an eighty percent chance to, despite not guaranteeing a hundred percent chance that they could form their Taoist Foundation on their own and enter into the Spirit Realm Seventh Level.

Simply put, of these people, nearly half could even go toe to toe with some cultivators at the Spirit Realm Seventh Level, and possibly overpower them if a real life and death battle were to ensue.

The subsequent battles were absolutely exhilarating. Even a mighty person like Pei Xuanjing saw these remaining cultivators displaying their learning, each showing off their varied divine abilities, only in the name of competing for the final reward.

A cultivator of the Spirit Realm Third Level challenged a cultivator of the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm and won, a Spirit Realm Third Level one challenged the Spirit Realm Fifth Level, and even a Spirit Realm Fourth Level one challenged the Spirit Realm Sixth Level, barely losing in the last challenge. There were countless instances like these.

“Indeed, there are quite a few hidden gems among these independent practitioners. Although some real monster-like disciples from large forces have not yet appeared, the strength these independent practitioners are displaying now is indeed quite remarkable.” Pei Xuanjing marveled in his heart.

Among the cultivators of this world, independent practitioners were the majority. These major forces seemed to have nearly eighty percent of the resources and recruited countless genius disciples. In this huge number of cultivators, there will always be some extraordinary ones.

After all, cultivation hinges significantly on oneself. There will always be people, or strong ones, who can do what others can’t. They rise step by step, breaking the monopoly of power and making a future for themselves.

This was one of the things about this world that Pei Xuanjing appreciated. Even if powerful forces controlled everything, the world would still retain a ray of life. Because when it came to the talent for cultivation, it was unpredictable. There would always be strong practitioners who would emerge, rise, and break everything.
