I heard you are very talented, I want to compete with you!

For Zhong Qing, whenever he arrived at a new place, he always wanted to try the local fine wine!

On the streets, people came and went, and traffic flowed endlessly.

Walking through the crowd, he could feel the surging dust of the mundane world washing over him.

Drinking a pot of turbid wine and witnessing the bustling human world was, in a way, an alternative baptism for the soul.

For the next few days, Zhong Qing wandered through this city.

He sampled local delicacies and experienced the local culture and customs.

The path of cultivation isn't about blindly pursuing courageous advancement.

Occasionally stopping to admire the scenery along the way—that's what life is about!

The two arrived at the central area of Bahuang City.

From a distance, a hundred-zhang-tall statue stood in the very center.

The statue was clad in golden-yellow armor, holding a Seven-Star Sword.

His hands rested on the sword, planted on the ground, his gaze level and forward, with even the fine hairs on his face visible, truly lifelike.

His profound eyes looked forward, as if he were looking down upon all living beings under heaven.

Many people in the city were kneeling and offering sacrifices to the statue.

"Who is this?"

Zhong Qing pointed at the statue and asked Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire.

"Replying to Master, this is the Seven-Star Sword Immortal—Ye Wushang!"

"He is a true Immortal who achieved enlightenment."

"In the ancient era, heaven's chosen arose in great numbers, and myriad races contended for supremacy!"

"At that time, the Human Race in Central Continent Second Heaven was relatively weak!"

"They could only survive in the cracks."

"This Sword Immortal rose like a comet."

"He led the Human Race to rise between heaven and earth."

"The reason the Human Race can now be half the master of the Second Heaven is largely due to the Seven-Star Sword Immortal's indelible contributions!"

As Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire spoke, a deep reverence appeared in his words.

That was not respect for the opponent's powerful cultivation in the True Immortal Realm, but rather respect for his accomplishments.

At the same time, outside Bahuang City!

A streak of flowing light streaked across the sky.

After entering Bahuang City, the flowing light transformed into a beautiful, peerless woman.

She was tall and her features were like a painting!

She wore a long, azure glass dress.

Her dark hair hung down to her waist like a waterfall of stars.

Her body was like ice and jade, emanating an inexplicable halo.

She was like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Especially her ice-cold demeanor, which kept people at a thousand-mile distance, added a touch of divine radiance to her.

It made people feel that she could only be admired from afar and not be profaned.

This person was precisely the Liuguang Sect's chief disciple—Ye Qingcheng!

Some people are naturally like the bright moon; as soon as they appear, they become the center of attention, surrounded by stars.

Ye Qingcheng was undoubtedly one such existence.

"It... it's actually Ye Immortal!"

Someone in Bahuang City exclaimed.

"Ye Immortal would actually come so close to this place, I... am I not dreaming?"

"Graceful like a startled swan, delicate like a soaring dragon!"

"To see Ye Immortal once in this life, other ordinary women will probably be hard to look at from now on."

Ye Qingcheng directly ignored the commotion her appearance caused in the city.

She immediately avoided many watchful eyes and found the Liuguang Sect's Grand Elder and Third Elder Mu Changchun.

Inside a certain space!

Ye Qingcheng cupped her hands and bowed to the two.

"Qingcheng greets Grand Elder and Third Elder!"

"Qingcheng has arrived, there's no need for such formality."

Grand Elder Great Elder Chen Qing said with a smile, "Qingcheng, since you can appear here, you must already know the sect's intention."

"Zhong Qing must join our Liuguang Sect!"

"How about it, do you have the confidence to invite him to our sect?"

Ye Qingcheng smiled lightly.

"I will not fail in my mission!"

These words surprised the two Elders.

They knew that with Ye Qingcheng's proud personality, she was not one to easily bow her head.

According to the Sect Master's previous message, as long as Zhong Qing could be brought into the Liuguang Sect, he could even be allowed to enjoy the Nine Yin Profound Maiden Physique first.

The implicit meaning, those who understood, understood.

Now, Ye Qingcheng showed no signs of aversion or resistance, which was clearly abnormal.

Grand Elder Great Elder Chen Qing was a little uneasy.

"Qingcheng, are you truly prepared to sacrifice yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng paused slightly.

Then she shook her head: "Elder Chen, to make him join the sect, why would I need to sacrifice myself?"

"Qingcheng has her own methods."

Third Elder Mu Changchun was suspicious: "Really?!"

"Naturally!"

Seeing her full of confidence.

The two found it difficult to inquire further.

Grand Elder: "If that's the case, Qingcheng, how long do you think it will take to make him willingly join our Liuguang Sect?"

"It should yield results in as short as three to five days, or as long as half a month."

In the eyes of Great Elder Chen Qing and Mu Changchun, Ye Qingcheng at this moment exuded a confident radiance from head to toe.

Just as she had absolute confidence in her own talent.

"Alright, two Elders, where is that person?"

"Please show me the way!"

"I want to see, what is so extraordinary about a person with orange talent?"

A glint flashed in Ye Qingcheng's eyes.

As the most astonishing and brilliant disciple of the Liuguang Sect for tens of thousands of years, Ye Qingcheng was undoubtedly proud.

She believed that in her life, she was not inferior to anyone.

Now, both she and Zhong Qing were at the Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation.

She really wanted to see where she differed from Zhong Qing, who possessed a crimson talent.

No!

Deep down, she felt that she was not inferior to Zhong Qing.

And she was going to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove to the world that while talent is important, it is not absolute.

There is no invincible talent, only invincible people!

This was Ye Qingcheng's confidence!

As Mu Changchun pointed into the distance.

Ye Qingcheng's gaze followed the direction he indicated, landing on Zhong Qing.

"What a handsome young master!"

Ye Qingcheng's eyes flickered.

She had seen countless heaven's chosen from the Upper Realm.

But none of them could compare to Zhong Qing in terms of temperament.

"But it is precisely such an opponent that makes it more interesting."

"Grand Elder, Third Elder, please wait for my good news!"

Ye Qingcheng moved, disappearing instantly from her spot.

On the other side!

Zhong Qing was listening to Netherworld Monarch of Hellfire explain the ancient history of the Human Race in Central Continent Second Heaven.

The Seven-Star Sword Immortal undoubtedly left a profound mark in the entire ancient history of the Human Race.

In the entire ancient history of the Human Race in Second Heaven, there were many such existences.

Many of them were beings who had made immense contributions to the Human Race in Second Heaven.

From the scattered words recording their life deeds, it seemed as if a magnificent era was unveiled.

Just then.

A clear voice interrupted their conversation.

"Are you Zhong Qing?"

Ye Qingcheng walked gracefully from the crowd, her graceful figure like a blooming divine lotus.

Her beautiful eyes scrutinized Zhong Qing, as if trying to see through him.

Zhong Qing turned his head.

"And you are?"

"Ye Qingcheng!"

"I heard you have great talent, and I want to compete with you!"

A powerful aura was subtly contained within her.

Inside her, a surging fighting intent was brewing.

This posture stunned Grand Elder Great Elder Chen Qing and Third Elder Mu Changchun, who had been watching Ye Qingcheng's actions.

The Sect Master clearly said it was a honey trap!

Is this how a honey trap is used?
