Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At that moment, a group of people stood up on a level nearby. They were the cultivators of the Heavenly Battle Palace.

The leader appeared to be in his thirties, and a formless pressure emanated from his body. His figure was proportional, and his facial features were distinct.

This person was Yang Qian, who was the eldest son of Heavenly Battle Palace Palace Lord. He was also the most talented person in Heavenly Battle Palace. He was considered by many to be the next Heavenly Battle Palace Palace Lord. He had cultivated for more than a hundred years and was now a powerful existence at the upper-level Renhuang Plane. His combat ability was extremely powerful.

Now, Heavenly Battle Palace Palace Lord had already begun paving the way for his son to inherit the title of Palace Lord. Yang Qian could already command many of the elders of Heavenly Battle Palace.

Right now, there were many cultivators beside Yang Qian. The cultivators sitting on the levels watching the Law Battle Platform were all incredible figures from Heavenly Battle Palace.

“Yang Qian from Heavenly Battle Palace welcomes all of you,” Yang Qian said as he saluted at the crowd with his fists. The members of the forces of Wangdu naturally knew who he was. However, there were some outsiders who did not recognize him. So, Yang Qian intentionally mentioned his own name.

“He is the eldest son of Heavenly Battle Palace Palace Lord and the future master of Heavenly Battle Palace,” Lin Qiu explained to Ye Futian via thought transmission. Ye Futian immediately understood. He must also be the one who invited everyone here this time. Aside from a person of such status, no one else could invite various cultivators to gather together without embarrassing themselves.

Many people returned his salute. Yang Qian glanced around at the crowd. He then looked at Ye Futian with a smile and said, “You must be Renhuang Ye. Before this, you have displayed your abilities during the Alchemy Conference. I have heard about this from other people. Hence, I specifically instructed for Renhuang Ye to be invited over.”

“You are too kind,” Ye Futian replied with a smile.

“Please be seated,” Yang Qian said as he gestured towards a seat. Ye Futian and the others sat down immediately. Yang Qian also looked towards the cultivators from Goddess Peak and said, “Goddess, we are all familiar with each other. Please, be seated.”

The cultivators from Goddess Peak had extraordinary temperament. They sat down in seats near Ye Futian’s group. Many of them looked over at Ye Futian curiously. Hearing what Yang Qian said, they naturally also knew that Ye Futian was the person who caused the disturbance during the Alchemy Conference.

The major forces of Wangdu were the first to know about this. The members of Goddess Peak naturally also heard of this.

The arrival of Ye Futian’s group drew the attention of many people. Or rather, they were interested in Ye Futian. He had already become a prominent figure.

Of course, the people who were most interested in Ye Futian were undoubtedly the cultivators of Alchemy Divine Palace. Qi Mu, Zhong Fan, Zi He, and the rest of their group were sitting to one side. They looked over when Ye Futian arrived. They only shifted their gazes when they saw Ye Futian sit down. They appeared to be talking casually to each other. However, the people here knew that the storm during yesterday’s Alchemy Conference was not settled. There was bound to be a continuation.

It was just that no one knew when the situation would erupt.

After that, cultivators from all over arrived one after another. There were cultivators from the top forces of Wangdu and cultivators from various other continents like Ye Futian’s group. Nevertheless, those invited here were the top forces of the various continents. Otherwise, they would not have caught the eye of Heavenly Battle Palace.

More and more people gathered here. It was very lively. Fortunately, this area was expansive, and there were many seats to watch the platforms from. The view was excellent. This was a place to spectate Law Battles. At a glance, all the Law Battle Platforms were in-sight.

Ye Futian turned to look at the Law Battle Platforms below. Matrices surrounded each Law Battle Platform. They were scattered across different areas, and they were well-spaced out. Even their heights were different. The layout was similar to that of the Jiutian Temple back then. The higher the Plane of a battle, the taller the Law Battle Platform it would be held on.

The lowest platforms were for Law Battles between those below the Saint Plane. They already formed their own area on the lower half of Heavenly Battle Palace. The people above were not too interested in the battles here. Many people were more interested in the Law Battle Platforms in the center region. They were the platforms for the battle between Saints.

Battles between cultivators at the Saint Plane were the most frequent battles in Heavenly Battle Palace. Among the people who came to participate in these battles, some came for fame. Others came for benefits. No matter their reason for coming, Heavenly Battle Palace was the best training ground to temper one’s combat ability.

There was a single Law Battle Platform at the region at the very top. It floated in the sky and was enveloped in the light of a matrix. It seemed ethereal, appearing transparent. If there were no battles on it, it would appear as though it did not exist, and there was no Law Battle Platform there.

This Law Battle Platform was reserved for Renhuangs.

Not many Renhuangs participated in Law Battles. Hence, there was only one Law Battle Platform reserved for them. This platform was sufficient to support the Renhuangs who wanted to participate in Law Battles.

Ye Futian casually glanced at the various battlefields below. Battles between Saints and between Sages no longer caught his attention. He merely looked around. After all, his cultivation and the cultivation of those around him were already beyond the Saint Plane.

“Yang Qian, when you invited us over, didn’t you mention that there would be exciting Law Battles? Why haven’t you arranged for one yet?” a crisp voice sounded at that moment. The person who had spoken was a female cultivator from Goddess Peak. Although her voice was authoritative, her appearance was stunning. She made people feel that her beauty could only be admired; no one dared to approach and sully her image.

“Goddess, you are still so impatient,” Yang Qian stated with a smile. He gave some instructions to the people beside him and immediately, someone left.

Not long after, a light of the Great Path shone. The Law Battle Platform seemed to be changing. It became real and floated in mid-air. It was like a gigantic battle platform. Light of the Great Path circled the platform. The matrix around it contained the aura of the Great Path of Space.

At that moment, a silhouette appeared in mid-air. It descended from the sky, and his silhouette landed on the Law Battle Platform.

This person had a powerful aura. An overbearing air emanated from his eyes. He glanced around at the surrounding cultivators. Many people sensed his aura. He was actually at the middle-level Renhuang Plane. At that moment, many people below felt somewhat excited. Were they about to witness a Renhuang Law Battle up close, that of the middle-level Renhuang Plane?

Heavenly Battle Palace seemed to have invited many people over today. The upcoming battles would not be simple.

Was only one person going up?

Many people revealed bizarre expressions. If it were a Law Battle, he would naturally have an opponent. Why was he standing there alone?

What was Yang Qian planning to do?

“I am Wang Ye from Qin He Palace. I have heard that cultivators from many continents have arrived, preparing to train in Wangshen Watchtower. I am somewhat curious as to what level of ability the cultivators from the various continents sent here to Wangdu are at. Hence, I wish to use this opportunity to experience it for myself,” the cultivator on the Law Battle Platform proclaimed in a loud voice. He swept a glance over the crowd of cultivators and asked, “Cultivators of Taiyuan Continent, would anyone be interested in a spar to test our abilities against each other?”

Ye Futian frowned when he heard the words of the other party. Was Wang Ye targeting them?

Had Heavenly Battle Palace invited them over a false pretense?

Lin Qiu and the others also clearly realized this. They glanced over at Yang Qian. Yang Qian’s expression was normal, as though all this had nothing to do with him.

Lin Qiu also noticed the cultivators of Alchemy Divine Palace. Zhong Fan from Alchemy Divine Palace glanced over in their direction. His expression was indifferent and calm. It was as though this was within his expectations and was no surprise.

Alchemy Divine Palace and Qin He Palace had always been close. Hence, for Alchemy Divine Palace to know something about this was no surprise. They might even be the masterminds behind this. From the Alchemy Conference, they had brought their conflict with Ye Futian onto the Law Battle Platform.

Were they planning to restore their image here?

Currently, Lin Qiu did not know what role Heavenly Battle Palace was playing in this incident. However, Heavenly Battle Palace and Alchemy Divine Palace were not so close. Heavenly Battle Palace loved battles and was a Law Battle force. They respected the cultivators of Alchemy Divine Palace, but it was just respect. They would not be ordered around by Alchemy Divine Palace unless it was something they themselves wanted to do.

Heavenly Battle Palace wanted to witness an exciting battle. Now that the cultivators from various continents had arrived, in addition to the friction caused during the Alchemy Conference, they had the opportunity they wanted to organize a Law Battle between powerful Renhuangs.

Loud, intense roars came from below. The crowd seemed to be waiting in anticipation for this battle. Law Battles between powerful Renhuangs were rare, unlike the battles between Sages and Saints.

It was because even if they were merely sparring, Renhuangs hated being spectated by others.

Now, there was such an opportunity. The person who had come out to battle was a cultivator from the Qin He Palace, a top force. The person who the cultivator had incited to battle was the Taiyuan Continent cultivator who had caused a disturbance during the Alchemy Conference. His spears were aimed at the powerful alchemy grandmaster Ye Liunian.

“If you wish to ignore this challenge, leave immediately. Heavenly Battle Palace will not dare to do anything. They are not qualified to directly interfere in whether or not you accept the Law Battle,” Lin Qiu explained to Ye Futian over transmitted thoughts. No matter what Heavenly Battle Palace’s motive was, if Heavenly Battle Palace had invited them all here to see their Law Battles, Heavenly Battle Palace had plotted against them. Ye Futian and Lin Qiu would naturally feel dissatisfied!
