Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

The world is a temporary journey, and all living beings struggle to cross it.

A long-planned scheme will not suddenly come to a halt, and a turbulent situation will not calm down just because of the arrival of one or two people.

Mu An's arrival caused a huge uproar among the immortals, but in the mortal world, nothing changed.

People celebrate the New Year, and those who cause trouble do so...

Demonic cults, heretical sects, the imperial palace, powerful families, various factions, and countless ordinary people...

Everyone is doing their own thing, living their own life, according to their own ideas.

Ordinary people are bustling about, preparing for the New Year with great joy.

All parties proceeded with their respective plans in an orderly manner.

None of the terrestrial deities gathered in Qi'an City were prepared to give up their struggle for the destiny of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Their lifespans are running out; all they have left is to fight...

Therefore, these terrestrial immortals whose lifespans are nearing their end are willing to pay any price.

Even if it ultimately leads to global upheaval and causes hundreds of millions of lives to perish in this catastrophe, they will not hesitate for a moment.

Human life is but a hundred years, like a mayfly's day.

In the eyes of the terrestrial deities, mortals on earth are like mayflies, endlessly cycling through life.

It is like rice in the field, crop after crop, which is a resource of nature.

Being able to make some contribution to them gives these mortals' fleeting lives, as short as mayflies, a little value.

Which of those who can become terrestrial immortals wasn't a prodigy in their youth, and only achieved their current success by stepping over countless corpses?

They had long since discarded the burden of emotions over the course of time.

All the terrestrial immortals under heaven are cold and indifferent. They are ruthless and heartless, fighting only for their own interests, and each of them has the courage to challenge the stronger.

Let alone just being an uncertain piece of news, even if the Five Elements True Lord really wanted to seize the Great Qi's fortune, they would still have to tear off a piece of flesh.

There is absolutely no reason to back down in a struggle over the path of truth.

One after another, the old monsters known to the world made their appearance, throwing their pieces into this vast game of chess.

……

Ten thousand lights illuminate the heavens, fireworks reflect smiling faces for miles.

As the largest human city in the world, Qi'an City's New Year is undoubtedly synonymous with magnificence and grandeur.

Even though the outer city has declined somewhat over the years, it has not affected the prosperity and splendor of Qi'an City in the slightest.

On the eve of the new year, candlelight illuminates the earth and fireworks light up the night sky.

The lights of thousands of homes stretch for miles, turning the night into a galaxy on earth, echoing the dazzling fireworks that continuously bloom in the night sky.

As the fireworks gradually faded, nine golden dragon phantoms streaked across the night sky, taking over from the fireworks and bringing the city's residents the grandest celebration.

In this glorious and prosperous era, humans and gods coexisted.

Under Jun Cheng'an's deliberate creation, Qi'an City can witness miracles created by immortals and gods every New Year.

Guided year after year, the people of Qi'an City remained steadfast, believing that the glory of the Great Qi Dynasty would last forever, and that they, the people living in Qi'an City, were the people favored by Heaven.

Sitting atop the highest mountain in the Fifth Ring Road, Mu Ling'er ultimately couldn't resist the allure of the spectacular New Year's Eve celebration, displaying a blatant dissatisfaction.

The righteous words spoken at the city gate made it impossible for Mu Ling'er to accept the invitation from King Xiang and Qing Xi with a clear conscience.

She couldn't bring herself to go to the Star-Picking Pavilion to enjoy the night view, but she also didn't want to miss the New Year's Eve celebration in Qi'an City.

Since we're already here, there's no reason not to take a good look around.

So they found a high peak in Qi'an City, sat on a blue stone on the edge of the cliff, and enjoyed the bustling night view.

Compared to Qing'an Prefecture, which is still developing rapidly, Qi'an City is much more magnificent, and she also wants to create more beautiful memories with Mu'an.

……

Name: Akiyama.

One hundred and eight arenas are distributed in stages, appearing and disappearing among the lush green mountains and forests.

Seventy-two black iron arenas are located at the foot of the mountain, connected by walkways, surrounding the entire Mingqiu Mountain, for ordinary martial artists to compete and discuss martial arts.

The twenty-four mysterious stone arenas are located on the mountainside, hidden in the forest, and connected by a series of suspended ladders made of tree vines, where innate grandmasters can compete against each other.

Nine stone arenas stand atop a mountain a thousand meters high. There are no paths on the rocks; one must climb them by stepping on them. They are connected by a sea of ​​clouds. The best among the innate masters can compete here.

Two white jade arenas stand at the foot of the mountain, and only celestial martial saints are qualified to enter.

Sword Saint's disciple, Dugu Wuji, challenged the talented individuals of the world to a duel on one of the white jade arenas.

As for the last arena, it was entirely made of Purple Spirit Crystal mined from the Yuan Magnetic Mine.

The Purple Spirit Crystal is made from the essence of heaven and earth, making it incredibly hard. The armor made from it is so tough that even ordinary martial saints cannot destroy it.

This mineral originates from a place rich in primordial energy, churning with earth fire, and with a turbulent magnetic field; it requires millions of years of karst transformation to be formed.

In the entire Great Qi, only the Yuanci Mountain Range has two Purple Spirit Crystal mines, with an annual output of no more than 10,000 catties.

This time, in order to provide a platform for the Sword Saint to challenge, a large amount of inventory was used to create such an arena.

Although the battlefield for terrestrial immortals cannot be on the arena, making this arena a stage for the ultimate showdown between martial arts masters and turning it into a calling card is also a good choice.

According to the wishes of the current emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, Jun Ningxia, after the conclusion of this martial arts tournament, Mingqiu Mountain will become the official venue for martial arts competitions in Qi'an City, and will be managed by the newly established Martial Arts Patrol Division.

All heroes of the world are welcome to come here to compete in martial arts and seek enlightenment in the famous Autumn Mountain.

……

At an altitude of 1,200 meters on Mingqiu Mountain, a mountain peak was completely leveled, and a stone arena rose abruptly from the ground using the entire mountain rock as its surface.

The audience held their breath, their eyes never leaving the two people on stage for a moment.

The woman on the left, dressed in a long blue dress, with a precious sword made of star iron called "Starfall" hanging at her waist, is none other than Qingxi, the current Princess Consort of Xiang.

At this moment, Qingxi simply tied her hair together with a jade hairpin, and casually applied some face powder to conceal her appearance.

She stood ramrod straight on the left side of the arena, with wisps of sword energy swirling around her, making her seem like a sharp sword that could pierce the sky at any moment.

On the right side of the arena stood an old man in a blue robe, with a sword hilt that looked like an ornament hanging from his waist. The old man stood loosely and casually, seemingly without much fighting spirit.

But this seemingly ordinary old man made Qingxi feel as if she were facing a formidable enemy, and she stared intently at the hilt of the old man's sword.

For no other reason than that Qingxi knew the old man in front of her and had even been instructed in swordsmanship by him before.

The leader of Qingyun Sect, Xiao Lingyun, the Shadowless Swordsman.

As its name suggests, Xiao Lingyun's sword is named Wuying (Shadowless). The Wuying sword is made of a special material, which is invisible and intangible, and cannot be observed with the naked eye.

It is a sword that kills without shedding blood and is ranked sixteenth on the list of divine swords in the world.

Both belonging to the major sects in the south, Qingxi, as the senior sister of the previous generation of Qiyun Sect, had visited Qingyun Sect to pay her respects several times.

When Qingxi was younger, Xiao Lingyun, the head of the Qingyun Sect, gave her guidance on several occasions.

The young Qingxi was even more competitive than she is now. With her innate cultivation at the time, the outcome against Xiao Lingyun was self-evident.

At this moment, seeing the old man who had once cast a shadow over her, Qingxi felt her hands trembling uncontrollably.

A trembling excitement!

It's so exciting to encounter such a powerful opponent!

She had long wanted to challenge such a master!

Before the referee could announce the start of the duel, Qingxi's Starfall sword was suddenly drawn from its sheath at her waist. With a flash of cold light, hundreds of sword energies transformed into waves, layer upon layer, slashing towards Xiao Lingyun opposite her.

The sword energy surged into three waves, each stronger than the last, clearly Qingxi's signature move, the "Overturning Sea Sword Technique".

"What a brilliant move! The mysterious martial arts figure Qing Xianzi, who has recently gained considerable fame, has launched the first attack, intending to overwhelm others with her power and defeat the Xiao Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect in one fell swoop..."

The referee's commentary rang out from outside the ring, drawing cheers from the spectators on the rocks.

On the arena, facing Qingxi's relentless attacks, Xiao Lingyun, the leader of Qingyun Sect, remained calm.

He gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand, and a hazy sword shadow appeared behind him. Hundreds of sword energies shot out in the next instant, colliding with Qingxi's sword moves and producing a metallic clang.
