Chapter 1228

Chu Zhong was startled. He saw that the white light that enveloped Han Li's body seemed to be burning. It exuded a powerful aura that made him almost unable to resist.

In a trance, he even felt that the person in front of him was not a human cultivator, but an ancient ferocious beast with heaven-defying battle strength.

Chu Zhong took a deep breath. After calming himself down, he made a gesture with both hands. His fingers bent and pulled the void to the left and right.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound around the "ugly" stage. Black light condensed in the void on the left and right. Ripples appeared, causing the space to collapse towards the center.

Under the influence of the law of gravity, the space on the martial arts stage had been completely distorted. When Han Li's figure fell, he only felt that an incomparably powerful void barrier appeared in front of him out of nowhere. His body was also squeezed by an extremely powerful force.

He focused his eyes and secretly operated the "Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Technique" in his body. The light on the surface of his body surged again. The starlight that enveloped his body suddenly shrank and condensed into a sharp longsword. It suddenly pierced the void below.

"Ka!" A crisp sound was heard!

The void that was condensed by the black light suddenly split open. Han Li's figure disappeared into it.

"Boom!" A thunderous explosion sounded!

The world returned to silence. The light of Chu Zhong's spiritual space dissipated, and the Inky Mountain also dissipated like smoke.

Everyone looked into the distance and saw that in the ruins, Chu Zhong still maintained the posture of looking up at the sky. He stood stiffly in the same place with his hands stretched out. Han Li, on the other hand, was hovering above his head in an inverted diving posture.

Han Li's fingers were pointed at the center of Chu Zhong's eyebrows. They were frozen and motionless.

"I've lost …" Chu Zhong sighed and admitted defeat.

"Brother Chu, thank you for letting me win." As soon as his voice fell, Han Li flipped over and landed on the ground. He cupped his fists and said.

The onlookers on the square were not satisfied. After a round of cheers, their eyes fell on other martial arts stages.

"How is it?

Mountain Lord Zhao, this Junior Brother Chang of mine is really full of surprises, huh? "Zhou Xianyang glanced at the depressed Zhao Yuanlai and said with a smile.

"If you win one more round, your sect will get a Bodhi Token. This is an unprecedented honor. Let's see if Brother Chang can survive." Zhao Yuanlai said with jealousy.

As the two spoke, the hosting elder had already gone to verify the results and announced the victor as the Prominent Mountain Sect's "Chang Qi". After Han Li and Chu Zhong cupped their fists to each other, they left the arena.

This time, Han Li did not immediately return to the Obvious Mountain Sect Courtyard. Instead, he went to the ring of the stone stage and watched the other battles.

After this round, Ling Xian, Ling's Bodhi, Chu, and Chen, Bodhi, Chu, Chu, Body, and Bodhi, Chu Zhong, he had.

After this round, those who could win were all powerful people, so he had to be more careful.

After examining the area, Han Li discovered that the "Hai" platform was already empty, leaving behind only a mess. Unexpectedly, the battle had already ended before them. The person who had previously participated in the battle was the Solitary Yang Peak's Mountain Lord, Sikong Jian.

At the same time, the battles on the other martial arts stages were coming to an end. Rainbow lights flashed everywhere, and the roars were continuous. The battles were extremely intense.

Among those people, there were not many who left a deep impression on Han Li. Among them, Luo Yuanshan of the Green Regret Forest, Wen Changtian of the Towering Sky Sect, and Zi Luo Fairy of the Heavenly Remote Lake were all of the people he cared about.

Among them, Wen Changtian had the highest cultivation. He had obviously reached the bottleneck of the Middle-stage of the Great Luo Realm. As long as he killed a corpse, he could become a Middle-stage Great Luo Realm cultivator. Zi Luo Fairy's Dharma Power was the most special. It was the rarely seen Amethyst Dharma. It was born from the Earth Dharma, but it also had the effect of crystal light.

Among the three, Luo Yuanshan was a human cultivator with a green birthmark on his face. What caught Han Li's attention was not his cultivation, nor his Dharma, but his viciousness in battle.

It was said that the cultivator who fought against him had no grudges with him, but he had been beaten to the point that his path of cultivation was almost severed. If it wasn't for the presiding elder, it was very likely that he would have beaten the cultivator to death before stopping.

By the time the curtains fell on the final battle, it was already evening. Han Li then left and returned to the Manifest Mountain Residence.

The night was silent.

On the third day, Han Li followed the people of the Obvious Mountain Sect to the arena.

Today was the last day of the competition. There were many more people watching the arena than the previous two days. On the top of the circular stone platform, other than Chun Jun Zhenren and the other four people, there was one more person. It was Chi Meng.

When Han Li saw this woman, he could not help but be shocked.

He and this woman had just fought a great battle not long ago. This woman was strong, and her mind was even more meticulous. Today, he was going to fight in front of her, so that she would not notice anything wrong.

When Han Li thought of this, he closed his eyes and slowly adjusted his breathing to rest.

Not long after, the hosting Elder's voice sounded. "Cultivators of the various sects, please come forward. We will draw lots for the third round."

When Han Li heard this, he opened his eyes and stood up.

"Junior Brother Chang, I will leave this last round to you." Zhou Xianyang also stood up and said solemnly to Han Li.

As long as he won one more round, he would be able to get a Bodhi Token.

"Senior Brother, don't worry." Han Li smiled slightly, as if he had absolute confidence in himself.

When Zhou Xianyang saw Han Li's expression, he also calmed down.

Han Li stood up and discreetly glanced at his surroundings.

Two rounds had already passed, and the results would be out soon. He wondered what Wu Yang, Jiao San, and the others were doing, and what the Samsara Temple was going to do next.

Han Li sent a telepathic message to the Weeping Soul Beast and Little White to be on high alert. Then, he and the other twenty-three people stepped onto the stage again.

"Alright, please start choosing your tokens." The hosting Elder nodded slightly at Han Li and the others, then casually tossed a ball into the air.

Twenty-four dazzling balls flew into the sky and landed on the heads of Han Li and the others.

Everyone raised their hands and grabbed a bead each.

Han Li also grabbed a ball with the word "Eight" on it.

A chuckle came from the side. It was Sikong Jian. The ball in his hand had the word "Seventeen" written on it, and he looked over with a smile.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly, but they soon relaxed.

"Oh no, it's Sikong Jian!" Zhou Xianyang's heart sank.

Although he knew that Han Li's true cultivation had also reached the Grand Heavenly Realm, he would not be able to use his full strength if he wanted to imitate Chang Qi's fighting style and hide his true identity.

Sikong Jian was an extremely senior Grand Heavenly Realm Cultivator, and he had been famous for a long time. He had won the first two rounds easily, and his strength seemed to have improved.

Would Han Li be able to win when he had so many misgivings about this?

The others from the Prominence Sect did not know Han Li's true strength, and their expressions darkened when they saw this.

"Haha, looks like Fellow Chang's luck has run out. He actually ran into Sikong Jian in the last round.

But with Fellow Chang's strength, a mere Sikong Jian should be no problem, right? "Zhao Yuanlai teased from the side.

Zhou Xianyang snorted coldly and did not speak.

There were only twenty-four people left, and there were enough arenas for the twelve rounds to be carried out at the same time.

The battle between Han Li and Sikong Jian would be held on the "Wei" stage.

"Heh, Sikong Jian is the peak master of the Solitary Sun Peak, and he actually participated in the battle personally. His skin is really thick, and he is quite impressive," Venerable Heavenly Star chuckled and said on the high platform.

"There's no rule that forbids sect leaders from participating in this competition. As cultivators, we should be pragmatic in our actions. Only a few short-sighted people would give up fighting for the benefits in front of them for the sake of saving face," Huo Yuan snorted coldly.

Although the Prominence Sect, the Solitary Sun Peak, and the other sects maintained their independence on the surface, they were more or less involved with the Life Alliance, Mount Baizao, and other major sects.

The Major Gold Origin Celestial Realm was in chaos now, and it was extremely difficult to survive without a backer.

The Prominence Sect and the Life Alliance had a good relationship, and the Life Alliance was plotting to subdue the Prominence Sect, while the Solitary Sun Peak was very close to the Mount Baizao. Naturally, Venerable Heavenly Star and Huo Yuan did not see eye to eye.

"Both of you, please calm down. According to the rules, there is indeed no rule that forbids sect leaders from participating in the battle. But I see that Chang Qi of the Prominence Sect is quite strong, and he may not lose to Sikong Jian," Taoist Chun Jun tried to smooth things over.

"Oh, in your opinion, Temple Master Chun Jun, who will win this battle between Chang Qi and Sikong Jian?" The Palace Master of the Gold Origin Celestial Palace, Lu Chuanfeng, also looked over and asked with a smile.

Taoist Chun Jun glanced at Lu Chuanfeng and secretly cursed him for hiding a knife in his smile. This battle seemed to be a battle between Chang Qi and Sikong Jian, but it actually involved the battle between the Life Alliance and the Mount Baizao. If he did not handle it well, he would offend one of them, or even both of them.

"Both of them are very strong, and it is hard to tell who is stronger. Furthermore, Temple Master Lu, your 'Jade Virtual Eyes' is a great divine power that can see through tiny details. In terms of eyesight, only Immortal Messenger Feng Tian and Daoist Crimson Dream can compare with you. I, I, should be the one asking you this question," Taoist Chun Jun laughed.

When Immortal Messenger Feng Tian heard this compliment, a hint of pride appeared on her face.

"A mere 'Illusory Jade Eyes' is not worth mentioning. Temple Master Chunjun's' Three Talents Gazing Qi Technique 'is incomparably exquisite, not inferior to my' Illusory Jade Eyes' in the slightest. All of us wish to listen to your wise words, so why must Temple Master Chunjun decline?" Lu Chuanfeng chuckled.

"It's not that I refuse, but I really don't dare to show off in front of Palace Master Lu and Immortal Messenger Feng Tian. Immortal Messenger Feng Tian and Daoist Crimson Dream, what do you two think?" Taoist Chun Jun shook his head with a smile and asked Immortal Messenger Feng Tian.

"Those two are quite powerful, and the others are quite powerful as well. They are not inferior to some of the cultivators that the Heavenly Court has nurtured," Feng Tian Immortal Envoy glanced at the 24 people on the stage and said.

"Immortal Emissary Feng Tian is overpraising us. The Heavenly Court is the ruler of the myriad regions. How can the people of our Golden Origin Immortal Domain be compared to the elite soldiers and valiant generals of the Heavenly Court?" Daoist Chun Jun laughed.

"It's only natural that the cultivators under the Heavenly Court are extraordinary. However, the Golden Origin Immortal Region is rich in resources, in no way inferior to the Heavenly Court. It's only natural for it to be able to nurture the elites on the stage.

However, it's best if these cultivators truly serve the Heavenly Court, "Chi Meng said casually.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, and the stage instantly fell silent.

Immortal Messenger Feng Tian also furrowed her brows and looked at Daoist Chun Jun and the others with a peculiar look.

"What are you talking about, Daoist Crimson Dream? Although we are not directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, we have always followed the Heavenly Court and Immortal Messenger Feng Tian's lead. If you have any orders, we will be willing to risk our lives to carry them out," Daoist Chun Jun hurriedly said with a stern expression.

The others also expressed that they would obey the Heavenly Court's orders.

"Hehe, I was just joking, don't take it so seriously." Chi Meng covered her mouth and giggled.

The others also laughed upon seeing this, and the atmosphere on the stage returned to normal.
