Being in the competition, he was still unaware of it

The yellow sky breaks the sun, the sun goes back to its nest, the night visitor comes out of their hibernation, and at the end of the world, a new cycle has begun.

There was a trace of light of daybreak in the spring, it was radiating this faint light to the huge sparse bamboo trees in the surroundings. The bamboo trees were sparkling and translucent like morning dew, the bamboo trees were also different from ordinary bamboos, this bamboo tree was not only extremely tall, the surface was covered with a pattern of crystals, like a sleeping dragon had broken out of the ground.

A handsome man was sitting beside this small pool on a clean white rock. He was holding a book and was gazing at it with concentration, while a young lady was sleeping on his knees.

This young girl's face was like a porcelain doll, her tender white skin like porcelain and bones giving off a youthful vitality. She was using the young man's leg as a pillow for what seemed like a nice dream, and the corners of her lips were curved with a light crescent moon.

Slap.

The young man closed the book lightly, placing it at the side as he caressed the young girl's tender cheeks softly.

The young girl's eyes trembled, she suddenly grabbed the young man's hand and opened her beautiful eyes, looking at this young man.

"Master, why are you not sleeping? Are you not tired?" The young girl looked at the energetic young man as she asked in a slightly worried tone.

"Sleep is only a type of soul path pacifying soul, my soul has already broken through three thousand man soul, and it even has a soul box. This sleep should be done with more significant things." The young man softly pinched the girl's cheek, but he did not use much strength, as if he was only toying with her.

"Master, you are really annoying!" The young girl struggled lightly, but did not have any intention to break free.

"Lian Er, to continue living in this cruel world, you can only rely on strength, only great strength can allow you to make use of fate in your own hands." You Ling Kong spoke solemnly as he held Ye Qing Lian in his arms, but he sighed on the inside: 'Fate is controlled by Heavenly Court, only an otherworldly demon can break free from the restrictions of fate, I can escape, but Lian Er, I don't know if you can ascend to immortal!'

"Master, you have already said that so many times, I already engraved it in my mind." Ye Qing Lian's cheeks were puffed up in unhappiness to express her objection.

"Precisely because it is so important, you need to say it many times!" When he reached this point, he suddenly changed the topic: "Lian Er, do you know why that senior did not ascend to immortal?"

"Advancement? There is no information in the inheritances I obtained about immortal ascension, there is only that senior's question towards how to advance to rank six." Ye Qing Lian was only slightly stunned for a moment before she told the contents of the inheritance that Spectral had.

"Is that so?" Spectral replied before starting to think, what was wrong.

The soul and wisdom path were closely related, a strong soul had a huge advantage in thinking, after all, the foundation of wisdom path was the soul.

Suddenly, a small detail flashed past his mind, he finally had some understanding.

Back then, when Fang Yuan disguised himself as Chang Shanyin and participated in the Imperial Court contest, Hei Cheng and Hei Bai wanted to use the immortal ascension method to recruit 'Chang Shanyin' and sided with Hei tribe, they understood that this immortal ascension method was extremely rare among lone cultivators and large tribes, thus it had a fatal attraction to lone cultivators.

Rank five and six were only one step apart, but they were as different as immortal and mortal.

There were fewer Gu Immortals in Northern Plains, the reason was not just because of the large number of Gu Masters who had died in succession, there was also another reason: Imperial Court blessed land!

This Imperial Court blessed land was known as the symbol of the spirit of freedom in northern plains, but in truth, it was an enormous chain that hindered the hope of the lone cultivators and small tribes in advancing to an even higher level.

The struggle for Imperial Court was like a piece of slow poisonous burning meat, everyone would fight to eat it, and although burning would grant them great benefits in a short time, the poison would enter their body and they would not be able to resist it.

And the bigger problem was that there were hungry people fighting for food, if they did not fight for food to strengthen themselves, they would be food for others.

This was the grand situation created by the revered Giant Sun Immortal Supremacy, it was for his homeland of Northern Plains, to be controlled by his bloodline descendants.

In fact, Giant Sun Immortal Supremacy managed to do so in the last few hundred thousand years, all the way until Imperial Court blessed land was destroyed by the ten great ancient sects, and the rule of the Huang Jin tribes in Northern Plains was slowly declining.

After clarifying all of these, spectral spirit could only rejoice that he had seen through a corner of this world, otherwise, he would only receive some secret information regarding immortal ascension from Southern Border's wisdom path inheritances.

Imperial Court blessed land, sacred palace.

"Wan Xiu, how much did our tribe gather?" A graceful and extraordinary middle-aged man spoke to a young man with his hands behind his back. This person was Dongfang tribe's leader, the current owner of Imperial Court, Dongfang Changfan.

"Reporting to tribe leader, there are around nine layers, the remaining tribesmen are either far away or…" Dongfang Wanxiu did not continue speaking, this was not something that tribe leader would easily guess with his intelligence.

"Is that so? Then how many people has Ye Qing Lian, Chu Du, and Hong Yangfeng arrived?" Dongfang Changfan only replied coldly, turning around to ask about the whereabouts of the people with high end battle strength from Dongfang tribe.

"Lord Spectral has not sent any message to his disciples yet; Lord Hei Cheng has only used flying letter Gu to transmit information: He came back when True Yang Building condensed into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, and Lord Yang Jiang once came to the sacred palace, but he later released the sheep." Dongfang Wanxiu did not dare to directly call out these rank five experts, after all, he was only a mere rank four Gu Master.

"Wan Xiu has been keeping a close watch on Hei tribe, Liu tribe, and Yelü tribe's every move, as long as there are any minute changes, report everything in full detail. You may take your leave now." Dongfang Changfan did not have any opinion on this information, he ordered Dongfang Wanxiu to keep an eye on the three tribes' movements, and left.

After Dongfang Wanxiu left, Dongfang Changfan was still standing by the sacred palace's window looking at the bustling crowd of people. Dongfang Changfan's thoughts were unknown, but starlight was flickering in his eyes, his fists that were hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched, one could see how unstable his mind was.

"Bam!"

With a loud bang, an elephant sized fierce tiger flew out of the cave. This fierce tiger was colourful, and it had a pair of yellow black wings on its back.

Fierce tigers with wings, truly a Biao.

This Biao was a mutated beast among tigers, if a mature Biao had any good Gu worms, it could compete with a beast emperor.

But the Biao before him was in a pitiful state, its teeth were pulled out forcefully, causing the blood and flesh on its mouth to become blurred. Its four limbs were all injured to some degree, and especially the front limbs of the Biao were twisted and deformed, the bones in its body were clearly already severe.

This Biao's entire body was intact with its huge pair of wings, evidently the attacker had intentionally kept them intact.

Whoosh!

Just as the Biao was struggling to get up, a strong figure flew out from within, landing right on the head of the Biao.

Boom.

Crackle…

The moment the figure landed, he immediately swung his fist at the Biao's head, hitting heavily with each punch. The sound of his fist hitting meat was accompanied by the sound of his bones breaking, and this unrivalled fierce tiger ended its life.

As the Biao fell powerlessly to the ground, the majestic figure also stopped to attack and muttered to himself: "Not bad, not bad, my skin is still intact, it has just suffered some fractures and bones, but the most important Biao wings have been preserved."

Next, he skillfully used Gu worms to peel skin and cut the skin and flesh, in a short while, he cut this Biao limb into a pile of materials, he kept all of the ingredients that he could find inside his storage Gu, only leaving behind a pile of mushy intestines and useless lungs, the rest were all taken by this person.

"Sigh! If only Brother You was here, with his soul path attainment, as long as he shatters the soul of Biao, he would obtain the complete skeleton of Biao, he would earn a lot of primeval stones!" This person easily killed the Biao expert, it was Chu Du who worked together with him.
