Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bihai Ming Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian before he shifted his gaze to Ling Jue Yun.

Duan Ling Tian sent a Voice Transmission to Bihai Ming Feng again. “It’s useless. With just a word from me, he’ll refuse to tell you what the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect promised him.” Then, he sent a Voice Transmission to Ling Jue Yun. “If the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect, Bihai Ming Feng, asks you what the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect promised you, don’t tell him anything. Tell him to ask me instead.”

Ling Jue Yun was confused. Suddenly, Bihai Ming Feng’s voice rang in his mind. Then, he said to Duan Ling Tian, “He just sent me Voice Transmission asking about it…”

“Tell him to ask me instead,” Duan Ling Tian said.

In Ling Jue Yun’s opinion, this was just a trivial matter. Since Huang’er had chosen Duan Ling Tian as her master, he would definitely not go against Duan Ling Tian for such a trivial matter.

“Why don’t you ask Duan Ling Tian…” Ling Jue Yun replied to Bihai Ming Feng through Voice Transmission.

Although Bihai Ming Feng was powerful, Ling Jue Yun was not impressed. After all, he came from the Divine Offering Land where there were many powerhouses stronger than Ten Directions Celestial Emperors. How could he be intimidated by a mere Celestial King?

After receiving Ling Jue Yun’s reply, the corners of Bihai Ming Feng’s mouth twitched. He glanced at Duan Ling Tian and sent him a message through Voice Transmission, “Lad, I can’t believe he actually cooperated with you.”

“Thank you, Third Sect Leader Bihai, I’m flattered. The same rule applies. Ten Shadow Void Escaping Talismans…”

After so many years in the Profund Nether Mansion, this was the first time Bihai Ming Feng felt helpless before a junior. Alas, there was nothing he could do under such circumstances. It would tarnish his reputation if he publicly lashed out a junior! “Fine. Just tell me what you know.”

After receiving Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission, Bihai Ming Feng glanced at Heng Chan from the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect. ‘I didn’t expect Heng Chan, this old donkey, would act so swiftly and decisively…”

What Heng Chan had promised Ling Jue Yun was not inferior to what the Simplicity Celestial Sect promised Duan Ling Tian.

Bihai Ming Feng thought to himself regretfully, ‘I should’ve known better and made a bigger offer. It doesn’t matter since the resources don’t come from my own possessions anyway.’ It was his first time leading an entourage to the opening of the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, after all. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. He was inexperienced and did not expect it to be so competitive. He thought to himself determinedly, ‘I must win Murong Xiao Xiao over!’

Alas, before Bihai Ming Feng could make an offer to Murong Xiao Xiao, she declared as soon as she stepped forward, “I choose the Gongyang Clan!”

Before Bihai Ming Feng, Zhang Zheng Guang, and Zhangsun Xiong Qi could make an offer, Murong Xiao Xiao had already announced her intention to join the Gongyang Clan.

Naturally, Heng Chan did not make an offer since the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect was a religious sect, and female disciples were not accepted. Even if Murong Xiao Xiao ranked first, the sect still would not recruit her. Their limit was accepting outstanding secular disciples.

“Gongyang Yu, you’re fast!” Zhangsun Xiong Qi looked at Gongyang Yu and sighed. He was puzzled. Why did Murong Xiao Xiao join the Gongyang Clan? The Gongyang Clan’s offer could not be that good. Moreover, with the limitations of a clan, she should have chosen to join one of the sects. Apart from that, she was from a grade-seven clan that was wealthier than the Gongyang Clan.

“I didn’t offer Miss Murong anything,” Gongyang Yu said with a smile.

“You didn’t? Who’d believe you?! Why would she choose to join the Gongyang Clan if you didn’t promise her anything?” Zhangsun Xiong Qi looked at Gongyang Yu incredulously.

“Elder Zhangsun, it seems like you’re unaware that there’s an upcoming marriage alliance between the Gongyang Clan and the Murong Clan. The third young master of our clan will be marrying the fourth miss of the Murong Clan,” Gongyang Yu said with a smile.

Zhangsun Xiong Qi, Zhang Guang Zheng, and Heng Chan were taken aback when they learned about this.

Bihai Ming Feng narrowed his eyes and lightly said, “Based on what I know, the Fourth Miss of the Murong Clan and Murong Xiao Xiao are biological sisters. The Third Master of the Gongyang Clan is set to be the future Clan Leader of the Gongyang Clan as well.”

With this, it made sense why Murong Xiao Xiao chose to join the Gongyang Clan. She would be doing a favor for the Gongyang Clan and paving the way for her younger sister at the same time.

‘This girl is not a simple person,’ Bihai Ming Feng thought to himself as he studied Murong Xiao Xiao.

After Murong Xiao Xiao had made her choice, the other participants made their choices one after another.

After learning from his past mistake, Bihai Ming Feng put in great effort and recruited almost half of the remaining participants to join the Coupling Celestial Sect. Perhaps, he was trying to make up his loss for failing to recruit the top three participants, he put greater effort and managed to recruit the remaining top ten participants.

“Sect Leader Bihai, the Coupling Celestial Sect has recruited a large number of talents this time,” Zhang Guang Zheng said with a smile.

“Old Zhang, a straightforward person doesn’t resort to insinuations. Why don’t you trade Duan Ling Tian for the top fifteen participants I’ve recruited?” Bihai Ming Feng replied via Voice Transmission to avoid offending the fifteen participants who were standing around him. In any case, he was only speaking casually. He knew Zhang Guang Zheng would not agree to it.

As expected, Zhang Guang Zheng only responded with a smile.

As time passed by, all the participants had chosen a force to join. The majority had chosen to join the three sects. In fact, the number of participants who had chosen to join the two clans was less than half the number of participants who joined the Coupling Celestial Sect.

At this moment, Zhangsun Xiong Qi announced to the participants who had just joined the Three Sects and Two Clans, “After an hour, we will leave the Scaling Cloud Lake!”

The peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials took this time to bid farewell to the forces they represented.

“Brother Duan, why didn’t you join the Coupling Celestial Sect? They have beautiful scenery and beautiful women in the sect. In fact, the female disciples make up half of the disciples. They even have many cauldrons…” Huang Jia Long said with a sigh through Voice Transmission. He was reluctant to part with Duan Ling Tian.

“Work hard, and we’ll meet in the Profund Nether Mansion,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

The outstanding talents in the Three Sects and Two Clans would be given an opportunity to join the Profound Nether Mansion. The Profound Nether Mansion would serve as a greater platform for them to compete against other mansions in the Southern Heaven Territory. From there, they could even advance to the top ten clans and top sects in the Southern Heaven Territory!

Although Huang Jia Long felt depressed having to part ways with Duan Ling Tian, he had no choice but to accept it. He was determined to enter the Profound Nether Mansion! It would be fairly easy for Duan Ling Tian to join the Profound Nether Mansion with his innate talent and high level of comprehension, but it would be challenging for him. After all, the Three Sects and Two Clans had many highly talented individuals, and yet, only a handful could join the Profound Nether Mansion!

Ling Jue Yun said threateningly, “You better take good care of Sister Huang’er. I won’t let you go if you mistreat her!”

“It’ll depend on how obedient she is,” Duan Ling Tian replied teasingly.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply, Ling Jue Yun’s eyes blazed with fury. He really wanted to fight Duan Ling Tian now.

Duan Ling Tian said, “It’s impossible for us to fight now. Why don’t we have a round of battle after we join the Profound Nether Mansion?”

The Chaos Divine Earth had informed Duan Ling Tian that Ling Jue Yun did not compete with him for the highest place to comprehend the law of time in Time Valley even though Ling Jue Yun was capable of holding his own against him because Ling Jue Yun was worried he would mistreat Huang’er. After learning about Ling Jue Yun’s strength, he was quite keen to fight with Ling Jue Yun. He really wanted to see which was stronger: Ling Jue Yun’s two profundities from the law of death or his one profundity from the law of earth that was boosted by the Chaos Divine Earth?

“I’d be more than glad to do so!” Ling Jue Yun replied valiantly.

…

One hour passed in just a blink of an eye.

The representative leaders of the Three Sects and Two Clans, Bihai Ming Feng, Zhang Guang Zheng, Heng Chan, Zhangsun Xiong Qi, and Gongyang Yu, left the center of the Scaling Cloud Lake with their people. Before they parted, they bade each other farewell.

The Simplicity Celestial Sect was located in a different direction from the rest of the sects and clans. Therefore, under Zhang Guang Zheng’s lead, Duan Ling Tian and the others flew in a different direction.

From the beginning until the end, Duan Ling Tian traveled closely to Zhang Guang Zheng, inciting the others’ jealousy and envy.
