Unparalleled Divine Power

Qin Xiao smacked his lips. "Looks like we all need to work harder."    

To Qin Xiao, the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking was a once in a lifetime opportunity. If it could be absorbed by the four transcendent powers, it would undoubtedly be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.    

Therefore, he had to give it his all this time.    

He began cultivating.    

It was almost impossible to improve the Yin Yang Profound Truth and Sword Array Wind Profound Truth in a short period of time, especially the Sword Array Wind Profound Truth.    

The Profound Meaning of the sword and the Wind Profound Truth were still alright, but the Array Profound Truth was just too difficult.    

Without the guidance of cultivation techniques, it was basically impossible to take another step forward in the Array Profound Truth. Therefore, Qin Xiao didn't put his mind on the Array Profound Truth for the time being.    

The Yin Yang Profound Truth and the Profound Meaning were what Qin Xiao wanted to improve.    

However, he hadn't made any progress even after cultivating for ten days. Qin Xiao asked Qing Heefeiyun and Gu Lingyue to go to the Treasure Pavilion run by the Xu Family in the ancient domain and buy the enlightenment of a 'Spacetime Saint' who had become a Supreme Lord with the Profound Truths of Space. It was really ridiculously expensive, and he actually asked for 100 million spirit stones.    

Qin Xiao paid back the Yin Yang Flower, and only then was he able to take out 100 million spirit stones and buy a portion of it.    

With the comprehension of the 'Spacetime Sage King', Qin Xiao's cultivation of the profound meaning of space was indeed much faster.    

The Time Profound Truth that the Spacetime Saint had used, the integration of the Time Profound Truth and the Profound Truths of Space... He had a great deal of understanding towards the profound meaning of the Time Profound Truth.    

Therefore, his comprehension of the Time Profound Truth had not only allowed Qin Xiao's Profound Truths of Space to improve very quickly, but also allowed him to come into contact with the Time Profound Truth. He had only comprehended it for ten days, but he had never thought that Qin Xiao would be able to successfully grasp the Time Profound Truth.    

On the fifteenth day, Qin Xiao finally broke through his Spatial Profound Meaning.    

"Phew, looks like cultivation really can't kill one's brain. If he relied entirely on himself to comprehend the world, his cultivation speed would be too slow. Resources for cultivation were truly very important. This is also why geniuses like to join the major powers, because the major powers have sufficient cultivation resources."    

"In the path of spatial profound, I don't have any cultivation techniques or insights from my ancestors. I only rely on myself to comprehend the heavens and earth, so cultivating it is naturally incomparably difficult."    

"The Time Lord is also a peerless genius. This comprehension of his is too precious. Let alone a hundred million spirit stones, even a billion spirit stones would be worth it for me. "    

"In just half a month, he has actually made such a huge breakthrough in my Space Profound Meaning, and he has also cultivated the Time Profound Truth to the first level. However, I don't have the energy to focus on the Time Profound Truth for the time being. Otherwise, I should be able to reach the third level in a short period of time. "    

"The integration of the Time Profound Truth and the Profound Meaning of space will be very difficult. The Time Profound Truth, that was the High-grade Profound Truth. A skill that can master a High-grade Profound Truth. That means they will be able to pass the preliminaries easily."    

"With my current strength, I don't even dare to say that I can pass the preliminaries with 100% certainty. I just have a higher chance of passing the preliminaries."    

"There's also the third form of Void Burying. If I can successfully cultivate it, then there should be great hope. Of course, I can't do anything about it. After all, there are only twelve spots for the preliminaries. The competition is too intense."    

"In the entire Xuzhou, how many geniuses are there? There must be a lot of people who are more dazzling than me."    

Recovering his thoughts, Qin Xiao ended his cultivation. He had gained quite a lot from these twenty days of cultivation.    

After leaving the secret chamber, Golden Spear King, Qing Heefeiyun, and Gu Lingyue were both outside.    

"Haha! Mr. Qin Xiao, if you still don't come out, I'm going to drag you out. Today is the day of the preliminaries. Look at you, Mr. Qin Xiao. Your strength has increased once again, right?" Qing Heefeiyun said with a smile.    

Qin Xiao also smiled. "It's still alright. I have finally broken through to the fourth level of the Profound Meaning."    

"What a disaster! I have already broken through to the fourth level of the Profound Meaning! You are now at the fourth level of all three middle grade Profound Meanings, which is enough to make you a monstrous genius." Qing Heefeiyun clicked his tongue and said.    

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "What's the use of having more middle grade Profound Meanings? One High-grade Profound Truth is enough to kill me in a few seconds. There was nothing wrong with cultivating to the fifth level of middle grade Profound Meaning. Actually, my strength hasn't improved by much. Therefore, it's not easy for me to fight this battle."    

Qing Heefeiyun nodded his head. That was true.    

It was just like how it would be useless no matter how many low grade Profound Meanings you mastered. The difference in grade of Profound Meanings was incomparably huge.    

The power of low grade Profound Meanings would only be shocking if you cultivated to the Sixth Level Great Perfection.    

Unless you cultivated to the fifth level, you would only be confident of mastering a middle grade Profound Meaning.    

If it was the High-grade Profound Truth, then the fourth level would be enough.    

However, the High-grade Profound Truth was basically a legend. However, those who could master the High-grade Profound Truth would be absorbed by the four transcendent powers.    

However, there were only a handful of geniuses in the Jiuzhou World.    

The Golden Spear King said, "Let's go, no matter what. All you have to do is try your best. Many people also improved in battles. Being strong in the beginning doesn't mean that you are strong. Only by being strong in the end could he be considered truly strong. Haha! I don't have any requirements for you guys. There are only twelve spots in the preliminaries. It's too difficult to seize one. "    

"Don't set any goals for yourself, just treat it as a great training."    

"A top competition like the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking can still temper a martial artist."    

Qin Xiao and the other two nodded their heads. The logic was indeed so.    

Zhoucheng, Jiuzhou Martial Arts School.    

On the huge square, heads were piled up. Powerful aura filled the sky, causing the atmosphere to become extremely oppressive.    

With a single glance, he could see more than a dozen Sealing King.    

On the square, the geniuses who had come to participate in the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking were also emitting dazzling light.    

There were quite a number of people who had come to participate. It was similar to what Qing Heefeiyun had estimated, there were over a thousand of them. Among them, there were some who were really old. Of course, most of them were still martial artists around the age of thirty.    

For Good Magic Stage Peak Level, thirty years old was considered very young. If they were twenty years old, they would be considered very young. That's monstrous.    

After all, a Good Magic Stage warrior could live for three to four hundred years. Thirty years old was only a tenth of his life. Naturally, he would be very young.    

"Look over there. Xu Jingtian from the Xu Family of the ancient domain is here as well. I thought that he had already broken through to Sealing King's level. I didn't expect him to be only at the peak of the Good Magic Stage. " Qing Heefeiyun suddenly cried out in shock.    

"Xu Jingtian..." Qin Xiao was surprised. He looked over and saw a group of ten people. The leader of the group was White-robed Man. He had a graceful bearing and an imposing manner. He looked really handsome. However, the Qi that was emitted from his body made him look like a king that had descended to the world.    

Even though he had withdrawn the aura, he still stood out like a crane amongst chickens. One glance was enough to tell that he was different from the others.    

At this moment, there were many people who were sizing up Xu Jingtian.    

Qin Xiao had heard from his master that Xu Jingtian from the Xu Family in the ancient domain could kill a half-step Sealing King with a single sword strike even though he was at the peak of the Good Magic Stage.    

He had awakened the Ancient Thaumaturgy, which was also a special physique, and his strength was incomparably strong.    

The Golden Spear King said, "Xu Jingtian is an absolutely peerless genius, he is the most popular candidate for the preliminaries this time. His popularity is also the highest. Xu Jingtian of the Xu Family of the ancient domain, qi Yinzi of Myriad Formation Palace, Saintess of the Divine Radiant Cult, bloody Blade of the Great Earth Tavern, and Wanhe Feiyang of the Wanhe Family. These five people... They were also the five popular candidates for the championship. These five people will definitely win five spots. "    

" Therefore, in this preliminaries, only seven spots will be snatched away. Furthermore, there are some people with great reputations. Even if they aren't as famous as Xu Jingtian and the others, they shouldn't be underestimated."    

"According to what I heard in the city these days, the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking this year will be exceptionally intense, and it will surpass all previous years. Therefore, the difficulty this time around will probably rise. "    

The Ancient Realm's Xu Family, Myriad Formation Palace, divine Radiant Cult, great Earth Tavern, and Myriad River Clan were publicly acknowledged as the five major powers of the Xuzhou.    

However, in terms of resources, the Xu Family was the strongest in the Ancient Realm. In history, the Xu Family of the Ancient Realm had given birth to a peerless existence like the Holy Lord.    

The ancient domain's Xu Family had a history of over a million years, a long and terrifying existence.    

Qing Heefeiyun curled his lips. "In other words, I don't have the chance to pass the preliminaries. I don't care. Just don't lose too badly. The requirements can't be any higher."    

"Silence!"    

Suddenly, a solemn voice rang out. The plaza instantly fell silent. Three figures descended from the sky and landed on the high platform.    

The leader was an old man with a sage-like demeanor. As he stood there, the sun and moon immediately dimmed. The heavens and earth wanted to submit, and everyone could not help but feel a sense of respect in their hearts.    

Wherever his gaze went, people could not help but lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.    

Although his gaze was not fierce, there was a supreme majesty. The pressure from his aura made people unable to resist at all.    

"So strong! The aura seems to be even stronger than my master!" Qin Xiao was also secretly shocked in his heart.    

This strength was definitely above his master's.    

Apart from this sage-like old man, the two old men behind him also released the aura of a Great Sovereign.    

It was indeed surprising that there were three Great Sovereigns that were rarely seen.    

An existence like a Martial Monarch... Qin Xiao felt that the opponent could easily kill him with just a glance. It was too powerful.    

Even the Divine Sense of Strength God was not something a Good Magic Stage could withstand.    

A Emperor Level wanted to kill someone. A single thought was enough. Even if they were separated by a thousand miles, they would still be able to kill someone invisible. This was the scariness of a Great Sovereign.    

The appearance of the three Martial Monarchs caused the atmosphere in the square to become extremely tense and silent.    

"This is the pavilion master of Jiuzhou Martial Arts School's Xuzhou, Emperor Ouyang, the existence of the Third Step Great Sovereign." Qing Heefeiyun whispered into the ears of Qin Xiao and the Third Step Great Sovereign. Only now did Qin Xiao know who the person in front of him was. It was actually the Third Step Great Sovereign.    

No wonder the aura was so powerful.    

In front of such an existence, Qin Xiao felt like he was as weak as an ant.    

Emperor Ouyang said, "You should know the rules of the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking. I won't tell you anymore. The test this time is divided into two rounds. The first round will now begin. "    

After saying that, Emperor Ouyang waved his hand. Ten figures landed at the center of the square, forming ten Martial Dais.    

These ten figures looked exactly the same. One look and one could tell that they were Lisha's puppets. From the aura emitted from these puppets, one could tell that they were Sealing King's puppets.
