Peerless God Emperor

At this moment, above a floating building, there was a wide square. Countless figures gathered on the square. The scene was extremely spectacular, as if a grand occasion was being held.    

In the center of the square, nine enormous Battle stage stood tall. Each Battle stage was enshrouded by the light curtain. An incomparably powerful Dao power was circulating on the light curtain. It isolated the Battle stage from the outside world. No matter what level of battle broke out on the Battle stage, it didn't matter. It wouldn't spread to the outside world.    

Gasps were heard from the crowd, cheering for the amazing performance of the Battle stage. Countless people's faces were filled with excitement, as if they were competing on the Battle stage themselves.    

The Cloud Sword Sect would hold a sect competition every once in a while, in order to encourage their disciples to cultivate diligently. Anyone who performed outstandingly in the competition would receive a reward from the sect. There was even a high possibility that they would be accepted as disciples by the elders, and from then on, they would have an extraordinary status within the sect.    

Most of the Cloud Sword Sect disciples did not take him as their master, and only had the status of an ordinary disciple. Any cultivation resources needed to be obtained with their own abilities, and they would be placed at the lowest level within the sect.    

At this moment, a group of people flew over from the sky and landed on the square. They were the young men, Qin Xuan, and the others.    

"This is the Cloud Sword Sect's Saint Stage Martial Field. The nine Battle stage correspond to the nine levels of the Saint Dao. This is the Cloud Sword Sect's Saint Stage Martial Field, and the nine Battle stage correspond to the nine levels of the Saint Dao. You guys go below and have a good look. You can go up and challenge later. " The young man looked at Qin Xuan and the others and spoke, his face carrying a touch of pride.    

"What's your status in Cloud Sword Sect?" Qin Xuan looked at the young man and asked.    

"I am the core disciple, Mo Yuan." The young man spoke proudly. Qin Xuan immediately understood where this person's arrogance came from. So he was a core disciple of the Cloud Sword Sect. It seemed that his talent was quite outstanding.    

Qin Xuan's eyes swept across the nine Battle stage in front of him. He looked at the battle that had erupted on it. His expression was very calm, as if he was not very interested in it.    

If his guess was correct, these people should be ordinary disciples. They were competing for cultivation resources, and the truly powerful disciples wouldn't attack easily.    

"Mo Yuan."    

At this moment, a dignified voice was heard. A group of people could be seen walking in the air, and their bodies were all surrounded by a dazzling radiance. They were the elders who had appeared that day.    

"Greetings, Master and the other senior grandmasters." Mo Yuan bowed towards them. His expression became much more respectful.    

Qin Xuan also looked at the elders. His expression was still calm, without any hint of respect. After all, he was here to challenge them, not to become their disciple.    

Those elders glanced at Mo Yuan and the others, then looked at Qin Xuan and the others. An elder spoke in a flat tone, "It's not too late to go back on your words now. As long as you apologize for what you said a few days ago, we will let bygones be bygones."    

"Since we are already here, how can we just leave like this? Moreover, we also want to experience the Sword Dao of Cloud Sword Sect and see what level our strength is at." Qin Xuan said faintly.    

"Since you insist on fighting, then I'll fulfill your wish. However, you might not be able to withstand the result." The elder said coldly. Clearly, he was very unhappy with Qin Xuan's attitude.    

The other elders looked at Qin Xuan indifferently, thinking to themselves that the ignorant were fearless. Even though this person had an extraordinary background and was accompanied by a Heavenly Monarch, what kind of place was the Cloud Sword Sect? How could a junior like him act so arrogantly?    

Now that he was unwilling to give up, losing the competition would only make him lose even more face.    

"When can we compete?" Qin Xuan asked again.    

"There's no hurry. It's a competition between ordinary disciples, followed by official disciples. Only core disciples will fight at the end. It won't be too late to fight when that happens." The elder from before said in a flat tone.    

Although he didn't know how strong Qin Xuan was, he was very clear about Li Mubai's strength. He was considered one of the best amongst his peers. Even in the Cloud Sword Sect, there wouldn't be many people who could defeat him.    

It was precisely because of this that they wanted to take Li Mubai under their tutelage. However, this kid actually didn't want to take them as his master. He was truly arrogant and conceited.    

Qin Xuan didn't say much. He really didn't have any interest in fighting with ordinary disciples. It was just a waste of time.    

As time passed, the battles came to an end one after another. After several hours, the battles between ordinary disciples finally came to an end.    

Next was the competition of official disciples.    

Compared to the ordinary disciples, the official disciples had a higher status in the Cloud Sword Sect. They were disciples of the elders, and their talent could be considered first class in the sect, but they could not reach the peak level.    

Only the group of people with the highest talent could become core disciples.    

The number of official disciples was much less than ordinary disciples, and they ended after a few dozen matches. Almost all of them were below the seventh step, and official disciples above the seventh step spent most of their time cultivating. They didn't have time to participate in the sect Competition.    

Finally, the core disciple competition began.    

The originally noisy square suddenly became quiet.    

Countless people had excited expressions on their faces. The highlight of the sect Competition was the competition between the core disciples. Every competition was a battle between the geniuses. Normally, no one would be able to see them fight. They would only shine brightly during the competition.    

At this moment, many figures rose up from the crowd and stood in the air. These figures were all core disciples with outstanding temperament and unparalleled elegance. They instantly became the focal point of the crowd.    

Qin Xuan raised his head and looked at those figures in the void. His eyes finally revealed a trace of fluctuation. As expected of core disciples. Just by looking at their temperament, one could tell that they were extraordinary. No one knew what level their strength had reached.    

A white-haired elder glanced at Qin Xuan, and a proud smile appeared on his aged face. He said, "Every core disciple has gone through many rounds of selection, and they are the geniuses of the geniuses. All of you are ready. You can participate in the Battle stage competition. "    

"Let's take a look first." Qin Xuan said.    

Upon hearing this, all the elders revealed a meaningful smile. It seemed like this kid had already been intimidated and was no longer as confident as before. When he saw the strength of the core disciples, he would probably regret saying those words.    

Qin Xuan didn't care about what those elders were thinking. He just wanted to see how strong the core disciples were. If they couldn't reach the level he had expected, he wouldn't even bother to attack.    

"I can use the Battle stage now." A loud and clear voice came from the spatial zone. It was the voice of the expert who presided over the competition.    

As soon as the voice faded, numerous figures stepped out and landed on the Battle stage that corresponded to their respective cultivation levels.    

Qin Xuan discovered that there were only five people on the five Battle stage. It was the Battle stage of the third to seventh realms. This meant that there were no core disciples in the other four realms.    

With Qin Xuan's current level of cultivation as a Sixth Grade Saint, he looked directly at the corresponding Battle stage in the sixth realm. A sense of anticipation arose in his heart, and he hoped that this competition would not disappoint him!
