“Mysterious Lady Palace might have a greater chance of winning.”
Lu Changsheng knew that his disciple, Chen Yao, was a Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Physique, yet she was only ranked as the second genius in Mysterious Lady Palace. This indicated that the top-ranked genius had extraordinarily strong abilities.
Tai Shi Holy Son, Ye Sheng, disappeared from his seat and landed on the Martial Arts Platform.
His pupils looked no different from ordinary people, indiscernible to the untrained eye.
However, upon closer scrutiny, one could see a pattern of deep purple mysterious circles within his pupils.
Tai Shi Holy Land is famous for its Pupil Skill, and both Tai Shi Holy Son and Tai Shi Holy Maiden have used this unique Pupil Skill to rank among the top three in the Qilin Ranking in their respective eras.
Lin Xuantong commented, “Practitioners from Tai Shi Holy Land possess extremely powerful Divine Sense and are adept at Pupil Skills. Typically, when facing someone from Tai Shi Holy Land, you either need a stronger Divine Sense or carry a magical treasure to protect against spirit attacks. I wonder if Mysterious Lady Palace has any magical treasures or divine skills to counter the special Pupil Skills of Tai Shi Holy Land, which could decide the outcome.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, agreeing with Lin Xuantong’s insight.
Tai Shi Holy Land is a unique presence among all the holy lands, specializing in spirit attacks, which are generally challenging for ordinary cultivators to deal with.
A gentle breeze swept by, and a woman with extremely beautiful features and a transcendental aura, dressed in a water-green fairy dress with delicate eyebrows and snowy skin, appeared out of nowhere on the Martial Arts Platform.
“Sss…”
“Such a beautiful woman.”
“Is she the top genius of Mysterious Lady Palace?”
Many from various holy lands, prestigious families, and Immortal Dynasties couldn’t take their eyes off her, astonished and in awe; Mysterious Lady Palace’s Immortal Yuexi, with a demeanor that transcends the mundane, captivating and ravishing.
“The competition begins.”
The Golden Armor Heavenly General vanished after the two contestants ascended the platform.
“Let me show you the supreme Pupil Skill of our Tai Shi Holy Land.”
Ye Sheng’s eyes gleamed with a sinister purple radiance, and his invisible Divine Sense fluctuations attacked the expert from Mysterious Lady Palace, attempting to drag her Divine Sense into the illusion of endless reincarnation.
“Here it comes, this is the ‘Endless Reincarnation’ cultivation technique of Tai Shi Holy Land. Once affected by the Pupil Skill, the soul will fall into the endless reincarnative illusion. The weak will suffer a mental breakdown, and even the strong will feel as though they are in another world. At their level of expertise, a moment of distraction is enough to determine the winner.”
Some Elders familiar with Tai Shi Holy Land’s techniques couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Pupil Skill of Tai Shi Holy Land is eerily elusive, and being caught by it almost certainly leads to defeat.
However, unexpectedly, Immortal Yuexi remained unaffected, her eyes bright and unmoved.
Ye Sheng’s Pupil Skill had no effect on her.
Immortal Yuexi drew her sword; the light of her sword was like autumn water, suddenly shining and eclipsing all other lights.
Within the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the victory was determined, with Tai Shi Holy Son Ye Sheng suffering a bitter defeat.
“Too strong…”
The Elders of Tai Shi Holy Land turned pale, and even the Tai Shi Saint Lord looked displeased.

Their Holy Land’s Holy Son and Holy Maiden were completely suppressed by Mysterious Lady Palace.
The power of Mysterious Lady Palace’s top genius, Immortal Yuexi, was fearsomely great.
Tai Shi Holy Son had almost no ability to fight back and was defeated by the opponent.
“She is the Sword Dao Genius of Mysterious Lady Palace with potential to become one of the Twelve Sword Maidens. I see none from your lower realm’s holy lands can defeat her.”
“Immortal Yuexi from Mysterious Lady Palace ranks among the top three among the eight Divine Palaces’ geniuses. The top three belong to us, Heavenly Court.”
Encouraged by Immortal Yuexi’s easy victory over Tai Shi Holy Son, the geniuses of Heavenly Court were greatly heartened.
As long as Heavenly Court sweeps the top three places, it will suppress many holy lands and prestigious families.
“From thirty-two to sixteen, Han’er will face her, which means Han’er can only advance to the top thirty-two. But that is already sufficient.”
Based on the matched combats, Lin Xuantong concluded that Lin Qinghan would face Immortal Yuexi in the top thirty-two. Considering the cultivation time and mastery of techniques and divine skills between both, Lin Qinghan wasn’t yet a match for Immortal Yuexi.
“Senior Sister and Xue’er will face opponents from Mysterious Lady Palace even sooner; I wonder if Xue’er can defeat her opponent…”
Seeing that Lin Qinghan ranked in the top thirty-two and Xia Ningxue in the top eight with a potential face-off against Immortal Yuexi, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help worrying.
The unparalleled geniuses from the top few rankings of the eight Divine Palaces all possess extremely formidable cultivation levels.
Immortal Yuexi demonstrated a cultivation level close to the ninth level peak of Immortal Emperor, seemingly about to step into the Divine King Realm at any moment.
Emperor Ku and Prince Long from Miluo Palace, Immortal Yuexi from Mysterious Lady Palace, Tian Chengjian from Wuming Palace, and Li Cangshui from Three Pure Ones Palace… the strongest batch of geniuses from the eight Divine Palaces, powerfully despairing.
Immortal Yuexi’s overwhelming victory over Tai Hua Holy Son caused many from various holy lands, prestigious families, and Immortal Dynasties to feel disheartened and dismayed.
The Eight Great Divine Palaces are truly deserving of their name, their foundation surpasses that of the Holy Lands, and the talents they cultivate are likewise formidable.
“Perhaps even the top four positions will be taken by people from the Eight Great Divine Palaces.”
“Now, we are about to be trampled underfoot by the Heavenly Court.”
“I’m not willing to accept this, only Lu has the hope to compete for the top four positions.”
“If Lu can make it to the top four, it would be considered a success.”
A pessimistic atmosphere enveloped all the major Holy Lands.
The top-tier talents of the Heavenly Court were too powerful.
Golden Armor Heavenly General announced the next group for competition: “Group two hundred fifty-five, Feng Mu of Ancient Feng Family versus Xia Ningxue from Guanghan Palace.”
“Feng Mu was once the second-ranked peerless genius on the Qilin Ranking, he should be able to defeat the Holy Maiden of Guanghan, right?”
“However, I heard the Holy Maiden of Guanghan has some extraordinary aspects, not as simple as she appears.”
“Fairy Xia’s beauty, is comparable to the Mysterious Lady Palace’s Immortal Yuexi.”
Some cultivators whispered privately, discussing the outcome of this match.
Most people still favored Feng Mu.
After Feng Mu lost to Lu Changsheng, he secluded himself for a hundred thousand years; now he is already at the eighth realm of Immortal Emperor, possessing a special physique “Thunder God Emperor Body”, and mastering Nine Heavens Thunder – all aspects pointing to Feng Mu having a slight edge.
Guanghan Palace Master, Li Heng, handed a grade eight Dao Artifact level Immortal Sword to Xia Ningxue.
Xia Ningxue’s Absolute Immortal Sword, Mo Xue Sword, both surpass the grade of eight Dao Artifacts, so Li Heng temporarily gave Xia Ningxue a slightly weaker magical treasure.
Jiang Yue Fairy of Guanghan Palace was eliminated in the first round, Xia Ningxue is the last hope of Guanghan Palace.
Ancient Feng Family’s Ancestor, Feng Yue, boasted to other prestigious family ancestors, “This descendant of mine has exactly the same physique as me, both are Thunder God Emperor Body, he is expected to continue my legacy and achieve greatness in the future.”
The other prestigious family ancestors quickly flattered him, “Congratulations.”
“Hahaha.”
Feng Yue contentedly stroked his beard, satisfied that as long as Feng Mu reaches the top eight, even if he loses to Mysterious Lady Palace’s top talent, Immortal Yuexi, Feng Family would still be very pleased with this result.
Among billions of talents in the Immortal Realm, ranking top eight is already sufficient for a cultivator clan.
Ancient Feng Family cannot be compared with a behemoth like Mysterious Lady Palace.
After a moment’s time, Xia Ningxue put away her Longsword, and Feng Mu was kneeling on the ground, face pale as paper, expression filled with disbelief.
He actually lost to Xia Ningxue, eliminated in the first round!
Losing to Lu Changsheng was one thing; now, he even lost to Lu Changsheng’s partner!
“Impossible, I, Feng Mu, am one of the top peerless geniuses in the Immortal Realm, how could I lose as soon as I enter the stage…”
Feng Mu still couldn’t recover from his defeat; this match’s failure made him question his life.
Before Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue emerged in the same era, in the Immortal Realm, he only ever lost to the son of the Heavenly Emperor.
However, when Feng Mu faced Xia Ningxue, he couldn’t even get past the first round.
Feng Yue’s smiling face froze, followed by an ashen complexion, his highly regarded descendant fell in the first round; his Dao heart was on the verge of breaking, embarrassing him in front of everyone, “Useless thing, come back here.”
Feng Yue waved his sleeve, an invisible force dragged Feng Mu back to his seat.
People from Ancient Feng Family all had a stern expression.
This was humiliating.
Ancient Feng Family’s top genius, didn’t even advance past the first round.
How would the Feng Family face others in the future?
“Changsheng, you need to be careful about your opponent in the top thirty-two, Chu Wuqing from Wushen Palace. Wushen Palace is one of the Eight Great Divine Palaces known for their Body Tempering; they start tempering their sinews and bones from a young age. I observed Chu Wuqing, his physique could be comparable to a grade eight Dao Artifact.”
Lin Xuantong finished watching the upper-half of the contest and already had an idea which individuals could advance further, and before the top thirty-two, no one could match Lu Changsheng.
But starting from thirty-two to sixteen, the opponents become increasingly powerful.
Wushen Palace specializes in Body Tempering?
What a coincidence.
Lu Changsheng also practices Body Tempering, his physique comparable to a grade seven Dao Artifact.
