Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

The competition is not held in the Void God Palace, but in the Jade Pool. There is a tournament every night, and everyone can participate. The competition is divided into four sessions: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

One point is awarded for each victory in the arena battle. This arena battle is a spectator competition and is different from other competitions.

After dusk, in the middle area of ​​Yaochi Wonderland, there is an exquisite area with pavilions and towers, a very beautiful place, with a lovely round platform in the middle.

However, this circular platform seems a bit small, with a diameter of less than 100 meters, which is not suitable for cultivators of their level to perform.

But in reality, it is not like that. This circular platform is a hidden world, and only cultivators who enter the platform can know its secrets.

Chapter 625 The Battle of the Prodigies (Part 1) (5000 words)

Around seven o'clock in the evening, a melodious voice rang out in the night sky.

"The Yaochi Dao Discussion Conference and the Arena Tournament are about to begin. All participants are requested to assemble at the Yaochi Immortal Palace in the Yaochi Wonderland. All spectators are requested to follow the instructions on their spectator tokens to the designated areas to watch the Yaochi Dao Discussion Conference and the Arena Tournament."

As soon as the sound fell, the previously quiet Nine Heavens Island suddenly became restless. Streams of energy sparks, like fireworks, shot into the sky from all over the island and then exploded, creating a scene reminiscent of the Lunar New Year on Earth.

The dazzling and colorful energy sparks lasted for nearly ten minutes. After ten minutes, colorful lights lit up all over Jiutian Island.

Ye Liuyun and his family members walked out of the villa with happy expressions.

"Didn't Mother say that only the participants would be invited to the Yaochi Immortal Palace to participate in the event? Would it be inappropriate for us to just be spectators at the venue?" Ye Kai asked with some concern.

Seeing his son looking somewhat timid, Li Muyun sighed inexplicably and shook his head.

Ye Liuyun, standing to the side, rolled his eyes at his father when he heard him say such stupid things.

"Hey Dad, you were once the son of the Prime Minister of Tang, don't you understand this basic principle? Grandma is the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, she has the authority to do this. I think you've been hiding in the Beiming Family for too long, you've lost all your energy and spirit," Ye Liuyun complained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Kai's face darkened. He then reached out and grabbed Ye Liuyun's ear, glaring at him with a dangerous look.

"You brat, don't think that just because you're a woman now I won't dare to beat you up. You're even teasing me now?"

"Oh, alright, alright, you're my father, whatever you say goes. I was just trying to explain to you, why are you resorting to violence?" Ye Liuyun replied, sounding aggrieved.

"You don't know anything. Do you think I don't know your grandmother's identity? I just think that if our family goes there openly, it might cause trouble for your grandmother. After all, your grandmother is the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Her identity is not ordinary. Do you understand?" Ye Kai said.

Ye Kai's concerns were not unfounded.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not the only one bringing people to this Jade Pool Immortal Gathering. There will definitely be many spectators with special identities coming, and you won't be an exception," Li Muyun replied.

Upon hearing this, Ye Kai finally released Ye Liuyun's ear.

"Oh, is that so? Then there's no problem. By the way, I'm the father. Why haven't you said anything? No one dislikes you now that you're a woman. I'll just pretend I have two mothers." Ye Kai asked, seeing that Ye Feiwu was keeping a straight face as she came to take the money.

Ye Feiwu's face twitched, then she raised her foot and kicked Ye Kai in the butt.

"Shut up. You talk too much. You've been chattering nonstop since just now. Aren't you annoyed? If your mother says it's okay, then it's okay. Stop talking," Ye Feiwu said irritably.

It's normal for her to be irritable; she hasn't been able to transition out of her previous role, especially in front of both families.

"Hahaha, Old Ye, oh no, now I should say Ye Feiwu, Sister Feiwu, oh dear, since you became a woman, I feel your temper has become much more irritable. It's not that exaggerated, is it? It's just a change of gender. Look at your grandson, isn't it perfectly natural? Learn from your grandson." Lin Heng couldn't help but tease.

Ye Feiwu's lips twitched, and then she called out Ye Liuyun's name.

"Liu Yun, do you still have the kind of pills I take? If so, give one to Lin Laogui, your father, and your father-in-law, so that our two families will only have women from now on," Ye Feiwu said with a fixed gaze.

Lin Heng immediately felt embarrassed as soon as he said that.

"Well, cough cough, what does this have to do with me? I don't want to be a woman, I haven't had enough of being a man yet," Lin Du complained.

The women from the Lin and Ye families sighed repeatedly as they listened to Ye Feiwu and her companions talking.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue also smiled helplessly.

About ten minutes later, the group followed Li Muyun and arrived at a palace complex made entirely of white jade.

This place is built on a body of water, shrouded in mist and radiating a precious light.

At this moment, many cultivators were entering the Immortal Palace along the white jade bridge. Upon closer inspection, there were indeed many spectators. However, apart from the extra disciples of the fourteen holy lands, these spectators were those who had connections with the powerful figures of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Not only that, the Nine Heavens Holy Land also gave some slots to those major sects to come to Yaochi Immortal Palace to watch the competition, so people thought a lot.

"The competition is being held right here? What a grand gesture!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the Jade Pool Immortal Palace before him.

After they finished speaking, they followed Li Muyun into the area. They were not stopped by anyone along the way, but the disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land were quite curious.

"Hey, what's the relationship between Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue, and these people and the Holy Maiden? Do you know? I have a feeling their relationship is unusual." A disciple from the Nine Heavens Holy Land asked.

The relationship between Li Muyun and Ye Liuyun can no longer be kept secret.

"I heard from the senior brothers and sisters who participated in the competition that Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue both call the Holy Maiden 'Grandma.' Then there are rumors that our Holy Maiden was actually a princess of the Tang Kingdom before joining the Nine Heavens Holy Land. This princess even married an official and had offspring. If all of this is true, then it certainly makes sense." The disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land whispered among themselves.

"Is it that exciting? No wonder our Holy Maiden always wears a veil. It seems there's a deeper meaning behind it. But the Holy Maiden's descendants are truly outstanding. Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue will definitely shine at this Jade Pool Immortal Gathering."

Ye Liuyun and the others followed Li Muyun and soon arrived at their destination, which was a large, open-air, octagonal white jade pavilion.

It was divided into three levels, and many cultivators were already sitting around it. The hundred-meter-long circular platform in the middle must be the competition venue, but it looked too small.

Ye Liuyun and his family went directly to the location of Lin Tianya on the third floor. Tianyi Ancestor, Lin Tianya, and the participating disciples of Taishang Ganying Sect were already there.

"Third sister, little sister, you've arrived! This area was specially prepared for us," Chen Yao said with a smile.

There are many seats here, and the venue is quite large; it could easily seat over a thousand people. Besides Lin Aoxue, Yan Yu, and Chen Yao, the Supreme Response Sect has over a hundred other members who meet the competition criteria, and they are all here. Also present are the peak masters and elders of the various peaks of the Supreme Response Sect, as well as some of their direct disciples. Then there are the four subordinate medium-sized sects and their respective forces.

There were only a few people from the Yunxia Sect, but as soon as Lin Aoxue arrived, she saw two familiar faces she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Master, Grandmaster, you've come too?" Lin Aoxue ran over happily as soon as she saw the people sitting in the back row.

Indeed, Yunyun and Yunyan were also invited to watch the Yaochi Immortal Gathering; they were simply benefiting from the influence of the Taishang Ganying Sect.

Lin Aoxue came to Yun Yun's side and immediately gave her original master a long-awaited hug.

Looking at the land before her, which was many times stronger than her own, Yun Yun was filled with admiration and pride.

"You've changed so much, my little girl! I almost didn't recognize you." Yun Yun hugged Lin Aoxue, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Aoxue immediately sat down next to Yun Yun. They hadn't seen each other for so long, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.

However, it wasn't just Lin Aoxue; Ye Liuyun also suddenly saw a group of familiar faces, who were staring intently at him.

It's naturally those people from the Yun Sect. She's already revealed her identity, so everyone in the Yun Sect must understand that Ye Liuyun was just fooling them back then.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen Senior Sister Ji and everyone else." Ye Liuyun laughed as he approached Ji Tianjiao and the others.

Ji Tianjiao and the others looked at Ye Liuyun, each unsure of what to say.

"Hey! Junior Sister Ye, you really fooled us!" Ji Tianjiao pouted and complained.

Ye Liuyun gave an awkward smile.

"Oh well, there was no other way back then. We were forced to do it because of the circumstances. I never expected that we would meet here." Ye Liuyun sighed.

“Yes, things are different now. You now have the combat power of the Nascent Soul level, while we are still in the Divine Body Realm and Divine Soul Realm. In just two hundred years, you have left us all far behind, Junior Sister. And Junior Sister Lin too, sigh!” Ji Tianjiao sighed.

Ji Tianjiao is currently only at the mid-stage of the Divine Soul Realm. Among the disciples of their generation, no one has yet reached the Mystic Transformation Realm. The strongest, Murong Huan, is only at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm.

"No wonder Senior Brother Murong seemed so calm when Junior Sister Ye left Yun Sect back then, as if he knew something. It seems that you, Senior Brother Murong, saw through Junior Sister Ye's deception long ago, right?" Jiang Yan said to Murong Huan, who looked like a meditating old monk.

Murong Huan did not deny it.

"I was just following Junior Sister Ye's wishes. She definitely can't stay in the Cloud Sect for long, you should all know that," Murong Huan replied with a smile.

Jiang Yan sighed heavily again.

"All of that is fine. What surprised me the most was that Junior Sister Ye was one of the victims of the Black Wind Mountain Range incident back then, just like Junior Sister Tantai. No wonder she and Junior Sister Lin had such a special relationship. I didn't expect they were husband and wife. So, I was in love with a man back then?" Jiang Yan complained with a long face.

Ye Liuyun was displeased with these words.

"That's why I rejected you back then. But Senior Brother Jiang, there's something you said that I don't like. What do you mean by 'admiring a man'? I ask you, do you still consider me and Senior Sister Tantai as men?" Ye Liuyun then looked at Tantai Mingyue, who was dressed in a purple palace gown.

Tantai Mingyue is becoming more and more beautiful; even among all the female cultivators in the Yaochi Immortal Palace, she is among the best.

"Eh? That's true. To be honest, if I didn't know that Junior Sister Tantai was a man before, I would have wanted to pursue Junior Sister Tantai and become her Daoist partner." Jiang Yan rolled his eyes and said.

Tantai Mingyue kept her eyes closed in deep thought, too lazy to pay any attention to Jiang Yan.

"What a pity, what a real pity. We're all past the legal age. I wish I were a few years younger," Murong Huan sighed.

Murong Huan and the others are on average about two hundred years older than Ye Liuyun, and are currently over five hundred years old, so they naturally do not meet the requirements.

“Yes, the scenes of the grand gathering in Nanling back then are still vivid in my mind. I never imagined that we would all be senior cultivators now,” Meng Chuan said.

They have all changed a lot. For example, Ji Chunling used to wear simple and combat-appropriate clothing, which made her look like a female boxer, but she didn't have much of a feminine charm.

But now, dressed in mature women's clothing, she looks like a completely different person.

This is all due to the change in her status, which has led to changes in some of her habits. She is now the master of a peak, no longer a disciple, so naturally she can no longer be the same as before.

There are no older generation cultivators here; their elders are all focused on breaking through to the Transformation Realm and have no other thoughts on it.

"Mom, are all these uncles and aunts your friends?" Just as Ye Liuyun was having a good chat, Ye Qingxue came to Ye Liuyun's side.

The main reason was that her mother was chatting with her master, and her mom was chatting with these people she had never met before. She suddenly felt isolated, so she couldn't help but run to her mom's side to make herself feel more present.

The people of Yunzong saw a cute little girl come to Ye Liuyun's side and call Ye Liuyun "Mom".

There is a term for mother in this world, but it is not used very often. The terms "niang" and "mother" are used more frequently.

Ji Tianjiao and the others couldn't help but turn their gazes to Ye Qingxue.

Although Ye Qingxue is very young, it's obvious at a glance that she is Ye Liuyun's offspring; her blue hair is exactly the same as Ye Liuyun's.

"Little girl, you've come at the right time. Senior sisters and brothers, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Ye Qingxue, my biological daughter." Ye Liuyun picked up Ye Qingxue and said proudly.

They must also know that Ye Liuyun has a daughter, and that she was born to Lin Aoxue.

"So this is your and Junior Sister Lin's daughter? She's so cute!" Ji Tianjiao immediately moved closer to Ye Qingxue, staring at her with wide eyes.

Ye Liuyun presented the gifts to Ye Qingxue one by one, reducing the number of people including Ji Tianjiao.

They talked for a long time until Lin Aoxue called out to Ye Liuyun.

"Liu Yun, bring Qing Xue over here for a moment, my master wants to see her," Lin Aoxue called out.

She had little connection or contact with the people in the Yun Sect, since she only went there to learn some powerful techniques to participate in the Nanling Provincial Capital.

Upon hearing the shouts, Ye Liuyun immediately greeted Ji Tianjiao and the others, then carried Ye Qingxue to Yun Yun and Yun Yan's side.

"Haha, Sect Master, Old Sect Master, it's been a long time." Ye Liuyun gave a perfunctory greeting.

Yun Yun smiled slightly and nodded.

"Is this your daughter? What an adorable little one. Come here to your grandmaster." Yun Yun waved to Ye Qingxue.

When Ye Qingxue learned that the beautiful woman in front of her was also her grandmaster, she was taken aback and then looked at her mother.

“Qingxue, she is my first master, your mother,” Lin Aoxue introduced.

After receiving confirmation from her mother, Ye Qingxue smiled and went into Yun Yun's arms.

"Grandmaster, you're so beautiful, much better than my drunken self," Ye Qingxue complained to Li Bai. Upon hearing this, Li Bai, who was sitting in front of her drinking, immediately spat out his drink.

Then he glanced behind him and thought to himself, "You little ingrate, you saw the beautiful grandmaster and started scolding him."

"Huh?" Yun Yun was taken aback by Ye Qingxue's words.

"Haha, I say, you little girl, aren't you afraid that when you go back, your Grandmaster Taibai will cause you trouble? I bet he's really annoyed right now." Ye Liuyun laughed.

Meanwhile, the Lin and Ye families were secretly observing Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.

"Are these people Ao Xue and Liu Yun's elders after they became cultivators? They seem to have a good relationship. Should we go and say hello?" Ye Kai asked.

But Lin Heng shook his head.

"There's no need. Let's not interfere with the two of them."

Ye Feiwu nodded in agreement.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, everyone who was supposed to arrive had arrived at the venue. There were people everywhere, including more than 30,000 participants and at least 100,000 spectators.

The Nine Heavens Holy Lord and the holy lords of more than a dozen other families were the last to arrive. Dozens of streaks of light landed on the viewing area of ​​the main stage. As soon as they arrived, all the cultivators present stood up.

"Welcome, Holy Lord and seniors from the outer realms."

The voice was clearly led by cultivators from the Nine Heavens Holy Land. These outer realm holy lords were merely powerful seniors in the Nine Heavens Domain, not their holy lords, so addressing them as seniors was correct.

After they fell, they sat down directly.

"It's almost time, we can start now. Elder Li, you should preside over this." The Nine Heavens Holy Lord glanced at Li Mingjiao.

Li Mingjiao nodded, then flew to the top of the circular platform.

"Welcome all participants and spectators to Yaochi Immortal Palace to watch the daily Dao Discussion Conference and Arena Tournament. These conferences and tournaments will be held here and at this time every evening until the end of the Yaochi Immortal Conference. On the last day, the rankings will be determined based on the participants' record of defending their positions. The top one hundred will receive a reward jointly given by our fifteen holy lands," Li Mingjiao said.

To put it bluntly, this arena competition is one of the most exciting matches. These visiting holy lands each contributed money as a reward to make the competition more exciting.
