Emperor's Peak.
Emperor Tian, Xiao Yun, Uncle Fu, and Lin Xiaoya were watching as an elder left.
The elder was sent by the Chaos Holy Land's Supreme Elder to summon Xiao Yun and Lin Xiaoya for an exchange and learning experience with disciples from the Tai Chu Holy Land.
As they watched the elder's departing figure, Xiao Yun couldn't help but ask, "Master, why did the Tai Chu Holy Land suddenly send someone for an exchange and learning experience with us?"
Before Emperor Tian could speak, Fu Bo snorted angrily, "Every time before the opening of the True Dragon Nest, they would send people to invite us, ostensibly for the appointment at the True Dragon Nest, but in reality, they are mocking us for not being able to send disciples to the True Dragon Nest."
Emperor Tian looked at Xiao Yun and spoke in a deep voice, "The relationship between our six major holy lands is not as amicable as it appears on the surface. There is constant competition behind the scenes. Especially with the Tai Chu Holy Land, the competition with our Chaos Holy Land is the most intense. If you encounter people from the Tai Chu Holy Land outside, you must be extra careful and cautious."
Xiao Yun nodded. It seemed that the Tai Chu Holy Land was an opposing force to their Chaos Holy Land, so they indeed needed to be cautious.
"Alright, don't keep the Supreme Elder waiting. A Fu, you will escort them there now," Emperor Tian said.
Fu Bo nodded and then led Xiao Yun and Lin Xiaoya as they flew away on a cloud.
As Emperor Tian watched them leave, a cold smile appeared on his face. "The True Dragon Nest hasn't even opened yet, and the Tai Chu Holy Land is already testing us. But this time, our Chaos Holy Land will not let you succeed. Let's see how my disciples annihilate the numerous geniuses of your Tai Chu Holy Land. Hmph!"
...
Inside the magnificent hall.
Xiao Yun, Chu Jingxiao, and Lin Xiaoya entered the hall and first paid their respects to the Chaos Holy Land's Holy Master and the various Supreme Elders.
Then, they turned their attention to the three representatives from the Tai Chu Holy Land.
The Holy Master of the Chaos Holy Land pointed at Xiao Yun and introduced, "Friend Wan, these three individuals are Xiao Yun, Chu Jingxiao, and Lin Xiaoya, outstanding talents among our Chaos Holy Land's physical cultivation realm."
Wan Yanghui had already sized up Xiao Yun and the others. He quickly glanced over Chu Jingxiao and Lin Xiaoya, as he could instantly tell that the two were merely ordinary geniuses at the peak of physical cultivation realm.
It was this young man named Xiao Yun who seemed to have ordinary aptitude but had already cultivated a strong body, stepping into the forbidden realm.
However, even so, Wan Yanghui remained confident in his two disciples behind him. He smiled and said, "Indeed, they are extraordinary talents from the Chaos Holy Land. Yu Long, Miao Tong, come and greet these three outstanding disciples of the Chaos Holy Land."
The young man and woman behind him immediately stepped forward.
The young man, dressed in a white robe, looked at Xiao Yun and the others and calmly said, "I am Jie Yu Long, ranked ninth in the physical cultivation realm of the Tai Chu Holy Land."
The young woman, wearing a red dress, had a proud look on her face. She disdainfully glanced at Xiao Yun and the others and said, "My name is Fu Miao Tong. I am only ranked tenth in the physical cultivation realm of the Tai Chu Holy Land."
The Holy Master of the Chaos Holy Land and the Supreme Elders in the hall all had their expressions darken.
It wasn't that they were angered by the attitude of these two young individuals. After all, they had lived for hundreds of years and had no need to argue with a couple of teenagers.
What made them unhappy was that these two young individuals, who seemed quite formidable, were only ranked ninth and tenth in the physical cultivation realm of the Tai Chu Holy Land.
On the other hand, Xiao Yun and the other two are already the top three geniuses in the Chaos Sacred Land in terms of their cultivation in the Chaos Body Refinement realm.
No harm without comparison!
This comparison alone is enough to show that their Chaos Holy Land is far inferior to the Tai Chu Holy Land.
As a result, their expressions weren't too pleasant.
However, since it was the younger generation conversing below, the "elders" like them couldn't interrupt.
Everyone handed the stage over to the five juniors below.
Xiao Yun glanced at the two geniuses from the Tai Chu Sacred Land across from him but didn't say anything.
Beside him, Lin Xiaoya felt annoyed by Fu Miaotong's attitude and couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Just ranked tenth and yet so arrogant. If someone didn't know, they would think you were ranked first!"
Fu Miaotong looked at Lin Xiaoya with pride and said, "Although I'm ranked tenth in the Tai Chu Sacred Land's cultivation in the Body Refinement realm, if placed in your Chaos Sacred Land, I would easily rank first."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoya couldn't tolerate it and immediately shouted, "How shameless! Let me test your skills and see if your actions match the strength of your words."
"If you seek humiliation, I'll oblige," Fu Miaotong said arrogantly, tilting her head and beckoning Lin Xiaoya with her finger.
"Ah!" Lin Xiaoya instantly became furious and swung a fiery red whip towards Fu Miaotong.
Xiao Yun shook his head inwardly, "Junior Sister is still too inexperienced. She easily gets provoked by just a few words."
Although that was the case, Xiao Yun didn't stop it. After all, sometimes suffering a loss is a blessing. Letting Lin Xiaoya experience a setback would help her grow in the future.
Moreover, this was their Chaos Sacred Land, and Lin Xiaoya's safety was guaranteed. At most, she would face some hardships.
At that moment, Xiao Yun attentively watched the battle before him. He also wanted to see how the geniuses from the Tai Chu Sacred Land performed.
Chu Jingxiao beside him was also focused because he knew he would be up next, and he didn't want to lose.
"Thousandfold Shadows!"
In front, Lin Xiaoya shouted loudly as the whip in her hand transformed into a dense net, enveloping Fu Miaotong entirely.
This was a top-notch combat technique that Lin Xiaoya had practiced, and she had already mastered it to perfection. Its power was extraordinary.
Everyone in the hall nodded in admiration. Compared to Lin Xiaoya's talent, she had only been cultivating for two or three months, yet she had achieved such a level of accomplishment, which was already quite remarkable.
However, the disciple from the Tai Chu Sacred Land named Fu Miaotong was clearly stronger.
She wielded a sword, freely maneuvering within Lin Xiaoya's "net" as if she were an unbounded fish.
At the same time, her sword aura was dazzling, causing Lin Xiaoya's net to start faltering.
"One Sword Across the Ages!"
Suddenly, Fu Miaotong shouted, and her sword shot forward like lightning, instantly aiming at Lin Xiaoya's throat.
The hand holding the whip in Lin Xiaoya's hand froze in mid-air as she looked at the sword that was pressed against her throat. Her face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down.
If that sword had moved half an inch further, she would have died a miserable death.
Clearly, she had lost.
However, Lin Xiaoya was not someone who couldn't accept defeat. She gritted her teeth and looked at Fu Miaotong with unwillingness, "I've lost, but you're definitely not a match for my senior brother!"
Fu Miaotong sheathed her sword and stood tall, looking at Xiao Yun and Chu Jingxiao behind Lin Xiaoya with disdain. "Which one of them is your senior brother? Let him come, and I'll defeat him just the same!"
Lin Xiaoya became furious and quickly said to Xiao Yun, "Senior Brother, teach her a lesson!"
"You were too impatient earlier; otherwise, you wouldn't have lost so quickly," Xiao Yun pointed out to Lin Xiaoya before walking forward.
As an older brother, he naturally had to stand up for his younger sister.
Xiao Yun looked at Fu Miaotong across from him and calmly said, "I won't bully you. If you can make me take a step back, then I'll consider it your win."
"What arrogance!" Fu Miaotong, just like Lin Xiaoya earlier, was instantly provoked.
Without hesitation, she wielded a sharp sword and thrust it towards Xiao Yun.
As the sword radiance gleamed and the blade was icy cold, a chill ran through everyone.
However, faced with this incredibly sharp sword, Xiao Yun merely slapped his palm forward. A gigantic Tai Chi diagram appeared, following the trajectory of Xiao Yun's palm, and pushed Fu Miaotong back repeatedly.
"Tai Chi Divine Palm!"
Not far away, the Tai Chu Sacred Land's Supreme Elder, Wan Yanghui, narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yun more seriously.
