Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Arena Hall!

Today’s Arena Hall of the Jade Pot Sect’s Inner Sect is as bustling as ever. In addition to numerous Inner and Outer Sect disciples, it seems that the master and disciple pair from the Luoyi Sect are practically living at the Jade Pot Sect, having arrived at the Arena Hall early.

It can be said that the two matches in the Spiritual Chick Battle List taking place today are the center of everyone’s attention. There’s no need to mention the first match, a battle between the first and second rankers of the Spiritual Chick List, which could even be considered the struggle for the title of the number one among the Jade Pot Sect’s younger generation.

Would the long-time occupier of the first place on the Spiritual Chick List, Mo Qing, continue her strong run, or would Yue Qi, who has made consecutive breakthroughs after seclusion, surge against the current and to the top? Everyone was filled with anticipation.

As for the other match, it is quite unique. Bi Luo is a veteran prodigy of the Poison Vein, ranked fourth on the Spiritual Chick List, while his opponent is a newly promoted youth who has joined the Jade Pot Sect’s Inner Sect for only a year and is participating in the Spiritual Chick Battle List for the first time.

If Yun Xiao were really just a new Inner Sect Disciple, all those affiliated with the Jade Pot Sect would not be the least bit conflicted about the outcome of this battle.

However, after the first two rounds of competition in the Spiritual Chick Battle List, Yun Xiao has successively defeated Yin Huan from the Peak of Meridian Rushing Realm and Xue Gong, who is one step into the Meridian Union Realm. Now, he undoubtedly possesses the fighting strength ranked within the top three of the Spiritual Chick List, offering him a very large chance of victory even against Bi Luo.

It is these two headline battles that have ignited the enthusiasm of all Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, sending their anticipation soaring to unprecedented heights.

The crowd in Arena Hall was divided into two factions: the Poison Vein naturally supported Yue Qi and Bi Luo, while the Medical Pulse mostly supported Mo Qing. As for Yun Xiao, he was only backed by Ling Wan Tan Yun and a few others who were on good terms with him, making the support somewhat disproportionate.

”I declare the third round of the Spiritual Chick Battle List officially begins!”

Following the loud announcement from Su He, today’s Spiritual Chick Battle List match finally began. As for the participants of the first battle, Yue Qi and Mo Qing already stood face to face on the central platform, making the atmosphere in the arena instantly tense.

”Today, I, Yue Qi, will take back what is rightfully mine!”

Facing the girl in black who had once unseated him and whom he had failed to surpass for years, Yue Qi felt an unprecedented surge of fighting spirit and confidence as he spoke his determination.

”You can’t take away what belongs to me!”

Mo Qing replied with vigor, and as her words fell, an intensely fierce heat burst forth from her body, even changing the air above the central platform.

”Pure Yang Immortal Body...”

Feeling this extraordinary heat, Yun Xiao below the platform couldn’t help but get excited, for according to the Golden Snake Worm, this legendary physique only appeared in higher planes, beyond the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

Although Yun Xiao took the words of the Golden Snake Worm with a grain of salt, the robustness of Mo Qing’s body was an undeniable fact that stood before him, leaving him no choice but to believe. Now, let’s see what kind of immense power this legendary Pure Yang Immortal Body can unleash?

As the heat of the Pure Yang Immortal Body erupted, Mo Qing’s Meridian Qi Cultivation appeared to have stabilized at the Middle Stage of Meridian Union Realm, a rank that was arguably unparalleled among the younger generation of the Jade Pot Sect.

”Middle Stage of Meridian Union Realm? You’re not the only one who can reach that level!”

However, just as everyone marveled at Mo Qing’s cultivation talent, from another direction on the platform, a surge of energy burst forth that was no less powerful than Mo Qing’s, belonging to Yue Qi.

Listening to Yue Qi’s cold laughter, the crowd held a startled guess in their hearts, which the next moment, turned into reality. The Poison Vein’s big senior brother had also reached the Mid Stage of the Meridian Union Realm.

”This is going to be a good show!”

Many spectators showed a glimpse of interest on their faces. To be honest, they had previously leaned more towards Mo Qing’s victory because for the past three years, Yue Qi had been her consistent loser. To reverse defeat to victory in this fourth year would undoubtedly be quite difficult.

Who knew that after Yue Qi’s consecutive closed-door cultivation sessions, he had improved his Meridian Qi Cultivation to the same level as Mo Qing, reaching the Mid Stage of the Meridian Union Realm. Now it was anyone’s guess who the victor would be.

”Tsk tsk, Second Elder, you really kept your prized disciple’s trump card well hidden!”

Above the seats to the north, Mo Li, although sounding complimentary, anyone could detect a hint of jealous sarcasm in his tone. As the Third Elder, he had never been able to foster such a disciple himself.

In fact, due to Elder Fu Du’s dominance, many exceptionally talented prodigies were snatched away the moment they joined the Inner Sect, leaving the other Poison Vein Elders with mostly mediocre, uninspiring leftovers.

Take Yue Qi and Bi Luo, for example; these renowned prodigies within the Inner Sect were all under Fu Du’s guidance, causing a long-standing frustration among the other Poison Vein Elders.

Especially this time, if Yue Qi can defeat Mo Qing, and in another match, Bi Luo also triumphs over Yun Xiao, then wouldn’t that mean among Elder Fu Du’s disciples, there would be two representing Jade Pot Sect in this edition of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference? This would be an unparalleled honor.

”Hehe, my disciple indeed has unusual resilience. Even I don’t know what has happened to him during his recent seclusion!”

Elder Fu Du wore a proud expression, but everyone automatically ignored his last words. His smug face seemed to have written across it, ”This Elder knows all too well.”

Great Elder Lu Zhan, who had been in a fairly good mood until then, also couldn’t help feeling a twinge of nervousness. As a cultivator at the Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm just like himself, a Poison Vein Master undoubtedly possesses a much wider array of combat techniques. A single misstep and perhaps Mo Qing would be defeated by Yue Qi.

However, all of this hinged on the performance of the two geniuses on the arena stage. Perhaps an inadvertent moment could decide the outcome of this crucial battle.

Mo Qing felt a chill in her heart upon witnessing the sudden eruption of Yue Qi’s true cultivation. She thought to herself that in the previous two battles, this guy hadn’t shown even half of his strength. He truly was a formidable adversary.

Even though Mo Qing had defeated Yue Qi three years in a row, at this moment, she felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. Facing Yue Qi once again seemed to be different this time; she felt the need to be doubly cautious.

The battle erupted with intensity, both contestants undeniably among the top talents of the younger generation within Jade Pot Sect, and their Meridian Qi Cultivation and combat techniques were both extremely impressive.

At least the likes of Bi Luo and Xue Gong believed that in their own prime, they probably couldn’t withstand even three moves from those two on the stage, let alone claim victory.

As time progressed, the clash on the arena became increasingly fierce. When Mo Qing’s Pure Yang Immortal Body gradually neared its pinnacle activation, she finally gained a bit of an upper hand.

Upon seeing this scene, the disciples of the Medical Pulse, as well as Lu Zhan and Li Shan, let out a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Mo Qing’s combat prowess was indeed a cut above Yue Qi’s after all.

Next, if everything went as expected, Mo Qing’s steady and firm approach should slowly turn her advantage into a winning position, thereby defeating the Poison Vein prodigy in one fell swoop.

Bang!

At a certain moment, a loud noise erupted from the arena stage, followed by the sight of a green figure staggering back several steps, their expression darkening intensely.

”You’ve made quite some progress, but to defeat me, you’ll need another two years of training!”

Mo Qing spoke expressionlessly, but her words contained a hint of sarcasm. Even if Yue Qi really trained for another two years, she had no intention of standing still; two years later, she was confident she would still have the upper hand.

”Mo Qing, I admit you’re strong, but if you think this is the extent of my strength, then you’re too naive!”

As soon as Mo Qing finished speaking, Yue Qi suddenly reigned in his angry demeanor, replaced by an odd frenzy, as if he was about to reveal his true power.

”Could this guy still have a trump card?”

Below the arena, Yun Xiao’s brow furrowed slightly. He clearly saw that those two on stage had gone all out, already invoking the power of the Ancestor Vein, which should be their ultimate trump card, right?

”Today, I’ll let you witness the power of my ’Demon Seal Poison Body’!”

Yue Qi’s face flushed with fervor as a low shout issued from his mouth, prompting many in the hall, including the Elders seated in the north, to show puzzled expressions, completely unaware of what this so-called ”Demon Seal Poison Body” was.

Apart from Second Elder Fu Du, who seemed unperturbed with a smile on his face, the Elders of the Medical Pulse felt an uneasy premonition. As the saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying, and the Demon Seal Poison Body was undoubtedly an unknown entity.

”Could it be the Demon Seal Poison Body?”

Unlike these Elders and young disciples unaware of the specifics, when Yun Xiao heard this somewhat familiar term, his face abruptly changed, memories surging from the depths like a tide.

”The Demon Seal Poison Body is rumored to be a post-natally acquired toxic body, inheriting nine Demon Poison Seals due to certain reasons. Each time a seal is broken, the power of the toxic body doubles. If all nine seals are unleashed, the toxic body reaches great success, becoming invincible!”

These pieces of information flashed through Yun Xiao’s mind. He had encountered the Demon Seal Poison Body more than once in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud because it wasn’t an innate toxic body but a special one created post-natally.

For instance, super Poison Vein Masters at the Third Realm of Holy Rank could cast this special Demon Poison Seal, planting them within the bodies of suitable young disciples. As the seals were progressively broken, their strength would soar.

Yun Xiao couldn’t believe that Yue Qi’s teacher, Elder Fu Du, a Meridian Master at the Intermediate Level of Spiritual Rank, could possess such a technique. This guy must have had some incredible encounter in recent years allowing him to inherit the Demon Seal Poison Body and greatly boost his strength.

Now, it was a matter of seeing how many layers of the Demon Seal Yue Qi could unlock.
