Chapter 93 Battle against the Prodigies of the Immortal Abode!

Ouyang Xin stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below, and said, "Disciples, it has been nine years since we parted. I wonder if your cultivation over the past ten years has met your expectations."

Upon hearing this, many disciples of the Immortal Abode lowered their heads somewhat guiltily. When they first entered the academy, they were ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and unaware of the hardships of the path of cultivation.

Only after truly embarking on the path of spiritual practice do you realize how difficult it is.

"Alright, enough with the small talk. We'll see how skilled you are once we test you!"

"This ten-year grand competition, like the annual martial arts tournament of the past, will involve drawing lots to randomly select opponents for ten matches!"

"Those who win eight matches will participate in the final arena battle to determine the top twenty who will then go to headquarters for the grand competition!"

"Without further ado, let the duel begin!"

After speaking, Ouyang Xin turned to the two teachers beside him and said, "Elder Gao Ming will serve as the referee for this competition in the morning, and Elder Liu Bao will serve as the referee in the afternoon."

After speaking, Ouyang Xin waved his hand, and white clouds gathered in the void, forming a cloud platform in the sky. Ouyang Xin and Elder Liu Bao landed on the cloud platform, leaving only Elder Gao Ming in the void.

Gao Ming's beautiful eyes swept over the crowd below. With a wave of her hand, mysterious light flowed in the void, and golden light gathered together. Then, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, it fell precisely into the hands of the 204 disciples of the 2026 Immortal Mansion below.

Chu Xuan also received a golden light, which landed in his hand and turned into a long golden strip with ten numbers written on it.

Each number corresponds to a match.

Chu Xuan touched the long metal bar; it was exactly the same as real metal, with no difference whatsoever.

But Chu Xuan had just seen it very clearly. This long metal strip should have been formed from golden light on the spot. What is this? Does it directly gather the metal elemental spiritual energy and turn it into a physical object?

The strength of these federal elders is truly formidable, and their methods are increasingly mysterious.

However, this also made Chu Xuan's heart burn with excitement. After all, if others could do it, so could he. This also meant that as long as he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he could also achieve this.

Just as Chu Xuan was pondering, Elder Gao Ming's voice rang out again, "Contestants who drew numbers one through ten, come up on stage to compete!"

Just as Gao Ming spoke, a mysterious light appeared above the cloud platform. The light split into ten, transforming into a ten-directional array that separated ten arenas.

However, these formations are not like traditional formations, such as an overturned bowl, which completely seal off the area.

It only isolates the surrounding space; there's still an opening at the top. But that's fine, as it allows Nascent Soul Realm elders to intervene at any time, stop the fight, and prevent accidents.

Chu Xuan glanced down at the long strip in his hand. The first number was thirteen, so he didn't need to go on stage for the first time.

Let's observe the situation.

As Elder Gao Ming finished speaking, twenty figures soared through the air and headed straight for the arena, including Jiang Ye, who was standing next to Chu Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I'll go first."

"Keep it up, Fellow Daoist Jiang!"

Once the twenty people were ready, Gao Ming gave the order, and the Immortal Mansion Ten-Year Grand Competition officially began!

In an instant, twenty powerful auras rose up, and the group rushed forward almost simultaneously, each with various colors of mysterious light flowing across their skin.

There was a cold light unique to metal, as if the flesh had been forged into a weapon. Some people had flames flowing on their skin, some people had a vast pressure emanating from them, like a vast ocean, some people had a blue light flowing on them, and many others, like Chu Xuan, exuded the heavy aura unique to the ten attributes!

Besides the common Five Elements method, some people even had lightning flashing on their bodies and their bodies radiating a silvery glow.

Without exception, every one of the twenty people on the field was at the second stage of Body Refinement, and every one of them was a master who had completed the Foundation Establishment of the Physical Body!

Although Chu Xuan already knew about the situation, he was still deeply shocked after witnessing it firsthand.

The quality of the disciples of the Immortal Abode is simply too high!

However, the current situation confirmed Chu Xuan's guess. Sure enough, it wasn't just the Xuanhuang Immortal Scripture he cultivated; almost all immortal scriptures were like this.

Body refinement is the simplest, while Qi refinement and spirit refinement are more complicated.

One person acting this way might not mean much, but if all twenty disciples of the Immortal Abode are acting this way, then the situation is quite clear.

Just as Chu Xuan was pondering, everyone had already stood together, and the moment the two made contact, all sorts of exquisite martial arts techniques were unleashed.

The exquisite martial arts techniques brought out the full potential of everyone's physical strength. The twenty people on the field fought as a blur, moving at an extreme speed that even Chu Xuan's eyesight could barely keep up with.

It's still a federation.

Even if I encountered a Dao Platform cultivator in the Xuanming Realm, I wouldn't need to unleash my martial arts to this extent.

Chu Xuan's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on the arena where Jiang Ye was.

Jiang Ye's body-refining method should be a fire-attribute method. His body was surrounded by flames, and his physical body was refined to the extreme as if it had been tempered a thousand times!

Every move he made was incredibly powerful, and flames swirled around Jiang Ye's skin, with each strike accompanied by an invisible burning flame.

Chu Xuan could even sense a scorching aura within Jiang Ye's descending palace. This should be the foundation Jiang Ye had forged, but he wondered what mysteries it held!

Jiang Ye's opponent's body-refining technique should be water-attribute. When he attacks, water ripples flow around his body, and each attack can dissipate the fire element power on Jiang Ye's body.

Within its palace, Chu Xuan could also sense a vast aura, as boundless as the ocean.

They're disciples of a celestial abode practicing immortal scriptures; there's no point in them going to the Xuanming Realm to bully Daotai Realm cultivators in some remote corner.

Competing on the same stage as the disciples of the Immortal Abode is what makes it challenging.

He thought his Zhenyuan Cauldron was already incredibly profound, capable of suppressing enemies and aiding his cultivation.

At this moment, the Dao foundation of any disciple of the Immortal Abode is very profound, no less than that of his own Zhenyuan Cauldron.

Take Jiang Ye as an example. The flame in his palace can definitely help him temper his physical body and refine his magic power. He can also use it to fight when he encounters an opponent!

Chu Xuan also felt considerable pressure. The first twenty disciples to appear were basically at this level, and his opponents were not much worse.

However, while feeling the pressure, Chu Xuan also felt a long-lost fighting spirit. With the elders of the Immortal Mansion looking after him and his absolute safety guaranteed, it was also something Chu Xuan wanted to have a good fight with disciples of the same level.

In life-or-death battles, stability is paramount, and it's best to get along well with those below you. However, in daily sparring and duels, it's advisable to keep the intensity as high as possible.

In the Federation, there's nothing to hide. To put it bluntly, there's nothing to hide. If you lay everything out, you'll barely pass muster, that's all!
