417: BeiDou Summit

In the Tianshu Sea Area, Seven Stars Mountain.

It is both a large mountain on the sea, imbued with spiritual energy, and an independent island.

Besides the Cultivators of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Holy Lands gathering here, there are also Tianjiao from various forces in the Eastern Wilderness and the Boundless Sea.

This is because although the Beidou Summit is a Dao discussion and duel among the Disciples of the Seven Great Holy Lands, Tianjiao from other forces can also participate, and if they achieve a certain ranking, they can receive rewards.

Secondly, the Seven Great Holy Lands also have a rule that allows them to invite outside aid.

On the mountain Peak, shadows of people flickered, mostly Young Cultivators, including Young Master successors from various Holy Lands, Ancient Families, and ancient great sects in the Eastern Wilderness, as well as Tianjiao from reclusive families and powerful merchant forces within the Boundless Sea.

"Yan Linjiang of Tianshu Holy Land challenges Shake Light, Celestial Pivot, Open Yang, Celestial Balance, and Jade Balance!"

In the spacious arena, a young man in yellow robes stood tall. He was not actually a Disciple of the Tianshu Holy Land, but an outside aid for the Tianshu Holy Land.

The Tianshu Holy Land harbored the intention of humiliating the other five great Holy Lands, sending out an outside aid who was neither too strong nor too weak, but just strong enough to be superior to the Disciples of these Holy Lands. This was truly a subtle way of killing one's spirit.

This was gradually eroding the psychological defenses of the high-ranking officials of the various Holy Lands.

Of course, the Yaoguang Holy Land seemed not to care much. Although the Saint Lord came, it felt like a mere formality, as the Yaoguang Holy Son did not even show up.

Even the Yaoguang Saintess was nowhere to be found. Although there were rumors that the Yaoguang Saintess had appeared in the Boundless Sea, she was ultimately not present, indicating their lack of Pay attention to.

The Holy Daughters of Open Yang, Jade Balance, and Celestial Balance Holy Lands exchanged glances, their delicate and beautiful faces filled with bitterness.

Finally, the Kaiyang Holy Maiden stepped forward to meet the challenge.

"Hahaha! Have you Holy Lands shrunk back to this extent? The Disciple martial arts competition of the Beidou Summit has always been a tradition of our Big Dipper Seven Stars Holy Lands."

"But now, your Three Holy Lands only have Holy Daughters, and two other Holy Lands have neither Holy Sons nor Holy Daughters."

"Tsk tsk, you have already ruined the reputation of the Beidou Holy Land. If this continues, perhaps it won't be long before you face extinction!"

The Tian Shu Holy Lord and Celestial Balance Holy Master spoke with sneers. Seated with them were the Holy Lords of several other Holy Lands, as well as Holy Lords from other forces.

At this, the faces of the Holy Lords of the several Big Dipper Seven Stars Holy Lands were all very grim.

The Kaiyang Holy Lord and the other two parties were helpless and had nothing to say. Their Holy Lands originally had Holy Sons, but they died at the hands of the Netherworld First Grade Hall or the Demon Art Inheritor, and there has been no result to this day.

The Tianxuan Holy Lord remained silent, his mood consistently very poor.

This was because their Holy Son and Holy Daughter had disappeared due to that Sea Mirage incident. The only thing that could be confirmed now was that both were still safe, as Qiu Lingsu and Chu Ying had both left their Soul jade tokens.

As for the Yaoguang Holy Lord? He seemed absent-minded and didn't care.

"If we perish, how will the Beidou Holy Land reappear?" The Jade Pivot Holy Master retorted, "Even if you want to obtain our Holy Land's ancient scriptures, you don't have to go to such lengths, do you?"

"Besides, we are not the ones who are refusing to give them."

The Jade Pivot Holy Master's words held a hidden meaning, clearly referring to the Celestial Pivot and Shake Light as two tough nuts to crack.

Celestial Pivot is definitively a tough nut, the kind that's not very capable but still insists on being rigid. Shake Light, on the other hand, is very powerful and not to be easily provoked.

"Hmph! Once the results of the Beidou Summit Disciple martial arts competition are out, you'll have to hand them over!"

The Celestial Balance Holy Master sneered.

The Kaiyang Holy Maiden in the arena fought against Yan Linjiang of the Tianshu Holy Land, only to discover that her opponent was actually a top figure of the Eight Cave Heavens. His Realm was higher than hers, and his combat power far surpassed hers.

"I come from the reclusive Yan Family. It's not surprising that you lost to me."

Yan Linjiang's expression was calm and composed. His Realm had already reached the Divine Power Realm, comparable to an old generation Great Saint expert, while the Kaiyang Holy Maiden was only in the Nether Void Realm. Naturally, she was no match for him.

The Kaiyang Holy Maiden gave a bitter smile, thanked him with "Thank you for showing mercy," and then left the arena.

"Eastern Wilderness, Taichu Holy Son wishes to challenge."

Cultivator martial arts competitions allow for free challenges, so when Yan Linjiang displayed his formidable strength, naturally, some people were eager to test their skills.

"Please."

...

"These people are too weak; they're not even worth our effort."

In the eastern direction of the mountain Peak, two outstanding and profoundly cultivated young men were observing. They were the Celestial Pivot Holy Son and the Celestial Balance Holy Son.

They had originally thought their biggest opponent would be the Yaoguang Holy Son, but who knew he wouldn't even show up? This left them feeling disappointed and bored.

"I heard that the Tianxuan Holy Son of the Tianshu Holy Land is also an Eight Cave Heavens figure who has a connection with a Restricted Area in the Eastern Wilderness and has defeated many Tianjiao there. It's a pity he didn't come either."

"What a pity, what a pity. The Fusion of the seven ancient scriptures is inevitable. If we Cultivate the complete Beidou Reincarnation Scripture, our combat power will surely undergo earth-shattering changes, and the time it takes to enter the Saint Lord Realm will be greatly shortened!"

"Perhaps, we might even contend for the title of the first Young King to enter the Saint Realm!"

Both of them were full of anticipation and longing.

The Beidou Summit lasted for seven days, and after seven days, the final ranking of the Disciples' strengths would be determined.

Those ranked at the top would naturally be the victors of the Beidou Summit. If the winning party was the Celestial Pivot or Celestial Dipper Holy Land, then according to the traditions and rules among the seven Holy Lands, the other several Holy Lands would have to agree to one condition of the winning party.

The first few days were relatively uneventful. For the Disciple martial arts competition among the Seven Great Holy Lands, it was simply that these Holy Lands could not find Disciples capable enough to take on such a significant responsibility.

Instead, the Young Master successors from various forces in the Eastern Wilderness and the Boundless Sea displayed impressive strength, making a name for themselves at the Beidou Summit.

For example, Fang Buhui of the reclusive Fang Family in the Boundless Sea, with his resolute will and intense Killing Intent, though only a rarity among the Seven Cave Heavens, had surprisingly reached the Divine Power Realm. With a single saber strike, even old generation Great Saints had to avoid his Edge.

Another example is Liu Feihong, the Young Master of the Feihong Chamber of Commerce in the Boundless Sea, who was actually a rare Indestructible Vajra Divine Body, possessing terrifying physical strength and unparalleled defense.

He managed to defeat a Divine Power Realm Tianjiao purely with his Peak Nether Void Realm cultivation.

There were also many Tianjiao from the Eastern Wilderness. The Holy Sons who arrived included the Thunder Punishment Holy Son, Taichu Holy Son, Five Elements Holy Son, and even the Zixia Holy Maiden from the Central Region, along with successors from various Ancient Sects.

Their cultivation Realms were rather average, mostly around the Peak of the Nether Void Realm, and in comparison, they weren't as striking.

However, that's also because, although people from the Ancient Families arrived, those two Divine Bodies had not appeared: one was the Luo Family's Divine King Body, and the other was the Jiang Family's Great Sun Divine Body.

...

On the Boundless Sea, a chaotic and crime-ridden sea area filled with evil, slaughter, and fugitives: the Demon Cloud Islands.

Jiaolong Crown Prince Crown Prince Zhu Tiange awaited the results of the Beidou Summit, and he was also curious whether the ancient scriptures of the Seven Great Holy Lands would merge, bringing back the glory of the Big Dipper.

But suddenly, he abruptly stood up, having received news.

A mysterious woman was rampaging through the Ancient Battlefield at the bottom of the sea, having already cut off important resources for the major forces of the Demon Cloud Islands.

"Hmph, daring to touch even my Flood Dragon Clan's possessions? You're practically seeking death."
