170: The challenge is over, but it's not over yet!

"Since no one is challenging Zhang Yang, then this time..."

Before the Vice Branch Master of the Nourishing Heart Lineage could finish,

the Divine Son of the Tian Jian Faction sent a voice transmission to the branch master of the Tian Jian Faction, Cloth of Swords, who was not far away.

Cloth of Swords smiled slightly upon hearing this, then turned to look at Xin Buxiu beside him:

"I see that no one from your Nourishing Heart Lineage wants to challenge Zhang Yang anymore!"

"In my opinion, why don't we change this challenge into a session where the geniuses of the various Great Factions can spar with each other?"

Hearing this, Xin Buxiu glanced at Cloth of Swords and nodded slightly.

In an instant, he knew that the Divine Son of the Tian Jian Faction likely wanted to challenge everyone, and this was the perfect opportunity.

Xin Buxiu said, "That's not a bad idea; it's rare to see the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion so lively!"

With that, Xin Buxiu stepped out, arriving beside the Vice branch master to stop him from making the announcement.

Then, Xin Buxiu announced the changes to the challenge.

This time, the challenge was changed to a competition between the geniuses of the Great Factions, where any Divine Ruins Realm Genius from the Great Factions could initiate a challenge!

As Xin Buxiu's voice fell, changes immediately occurred within the challenge Small World.

Besides the arena beneath Zhang Yang's feet, dozens more arenas rose from within the Small World, and countless Formation light screens descended.

In an instant, not only the many Disciples of the Nourishing Heart Lineage,

but also the Disciples of other Factions watching the battle, all burst into exclamations!

Even the Genius Disciples from other Factions who were arriving one after another began to feel eager to try!

Having witnessed Zhang Yang defeat two Divine Son-level figures in a row, their hands were also itching for action.

Although they wouldn't go as far as to challenge Zhang Yang, fighting against someone of the same level would likely yield significant gains!

Zhang Yang also heard Xin Buxiu's words in the Small World and couldn't help but smile, then he withdrew from the challenge Small World.

After defeating Liu Qingyuan and Yi Chen,

Zhang Yang didn't have much desire to fight these other Divine Ruins Realm geniuses.

After all, the Saints and Saintesses in the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion didn't have a large strength gap compared to Liu Qingyuan.

Fighting them wouldn't provide much benefit.

Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go back and intensify his practice of Heaven-rank Martial Skills!

Currently, among all the Heaven-rank Martial Skills in the Nourishing Heart Lineage,

Zhang Yang had not yet fully refined them to Perfection and integrated them into his Martial Scripture!

Seeing Zhang Yang withdraw from the challenge Small World,

a look of disappointment couldn't help but appear on the face of the Divine Son of the Tian Jian Faction.

He had wanted to challenge Zhang Yang; although there was a high probability he would lose,

at least he could verify the gap between himself and Zhang Yang!

But since Zhang Yang had directly left the challenge Small World, there was nothing he could do.

"Hua Qian, why don't we have a spar?"

One of the Divine Sons of the Tian Jian Faction turned to the Divine Son of the Qiankun Faction beside him and invited him with a smile.

Hearing this, Hua Qian, the Divine Son of the Qiankun Faction, couldn't help but smile.

He then glanced at Liu Qingyuan, who was recovering nearby, and nodded slightly.

"Then let's do it! After watching several of Zhang Yang's battles, my hands are indeed itching for a fight!"

In the next instant, the two of them appeared simultaneously in the challenge Small World, landing on the same arena!

"Yi Chen, you're not badly injured, are you? Let's practice a bit."

Another Divine Son of the Tian Jian Faction looked at Yi Chen with high spirits.

In the battle between Yi Chen and Zhang Yang, he hadn't sustained too much damage,

unlike Liu Qingyuan, whose Ultimate Move was shattered, resulting in a backlash from the Move.

"Sure!"

Yi Chen nodded slightly at the Divine Son of the Tian Jian Faction beside him.

Then, the two of them landed in an arena within the challenge Small World.

Not just the four of them, but the other Saints of the Qiankun Faction,

as well as some Divine Ruins Realm geniuses from the Four Great Factions, all entered the challenge Small World,

beginning to spar and fight in pairs to verify what they had learned!

Zhang Yang returned to the Divine Temple of the Nourishing Heart Lineage.

Looking at his Revered Master, Xin Buxiu, he revealed a smile and bowed:

"Revered Master, I have fortunately fulfilled the mission!"

"Good, good, good!"

Xin Buxiu looked at Zhang Yang before him, his face beaming with smiles as he nodded repeatedly!

At the same time, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes!

Zhang Yang was indeed the top Genius he had set his sights on.

He had defeated Liu Qingyuan and Yi Chen in succession without much effort!

Although the process of the victories was somewhat beyond his expectations, winning was all that mattered.

However, the talent and strength Zhang Yang displayed during this trip still far exceeded his expectations.

It was simply terrifyingly formidable!

On the other side,

the branch masters of the other three Great Factions were also very satisfied as they looked at Zhang Yang.

Having now witnessed Zhang Yang's talent and strength with their own eyes,

they were absolutely certain that Zhang Yang truly had the potential to reach the top of the Heavenly Ladder!

This was an achievement that no one had accomplished for millions of years!

Countless geniuses from the Central Continent had followed one after another, yet not a single person had been able to reach the top.

But now, Zhang Yang had a great possibility of reaching the summit and continuing the broken path of cultivation for the Martial Artists of the Central Continent!

"I'm afraid that once the results of this battle spread, the various forces of the Central Continent will take action. They will all come to the Myriad Manifestations Faction to investigate!"

Cloth of Swords, Claiming Qiankun, Solemn Celestial Sign, and Xin Buxiu looked at each other.

They all understood that once the results of this battle were out, the major forces of the Central Continent would gather at their Myriad Manifestations Pavilion!

However, they weren't worried at all that these people would act against Zhang Yang or endanger his life.

After all, Zhang Yang was the only person in millions of years

who might obtain the subsequent cultivation methods for the Due Realm from the top of the Heavenly Ladder!

Once someone tried to harm Zhang Yang,

they would likely face the pressure of every Zhandao Realm Ninth Level expert in the entire Central Continent!

After all, for countless years, the Martial Artists of the Central Continent had all been trapped at the Zhandao Realm Ninth Level, with no hope for the path ahead!

Zhang Yang was currently their only hope!

"When the time comes, we can certainly squeeze a fortune out of them!" the four from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion thought in unison.

As long as Zhang Yang truly obtained the subsequent Due Realm cultivation methods from the top of the Heavenly Ladder,

even if it was just the method to break through the Zhandao Ninth Level, Zhang Yang would likely gain countless benefits!

The treasuries of the major forces in the Central Continent would be his for the taking!

"Revered Master, now that this challenge is over, I'll head back to Qingling Peak to Cultivate first!" Zhang Yang cupped his hands, preparing to return.

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Before Xin Buxiu could respond, the branch masters of the three other Great Factions called out to Zhang Yang.

Cloth of Swords looked at Zhang Yang with a smile and said in a very kind tone:

"Zhang Yang, is there anything you're lacking? Or anything you want?"

On the other side, seeing Cloth of Swords' kind appearance, Xin Buxiu couldn't help but be surprised.

This fellow Cloth of Swords usually wore a cold face all year round, as if everyone owed him money.

To actually show such a kind expression to Zhang Yang today really shocked Xin Buxiu!

"Yes, yes, yes! Zhang Yang, if you're lacking anything or want anything, just say it. Whatever we have in the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion can be given to you!"

On the other side,

Solemn Celestial Sign and Claiming Qiankun also nodded, looking at Zhang Yang with faces full of expectation.
