Three days pa.s.sed by in just a blink of an eye.

The Mystical Sky Mansion’s Saint Martial Secret Zone would open in ten days’ time. At that time, only thirty people would be allowed to enter to train. Naturally, it was more apt to say ‘treasure seeking’ instead of ‘training.’

There were many valuable items inside the Saint Martial Secret Zone, and the thing that was the most valuable was none other than the various Divine Ability Relics hidden inside. These Divine Ability Relics were ancient relics left behind by powerhouses in the past.

Not many of these powerhouses were from the Mystical Sky Mansion since the Mystical Sky Mansion only rose to become the quasi third-rate force after that.

( Boxno vel. co m ) The reason the Mystical Sky Mansion took great pains to recruit Saint Stage geniuses below the age of forty was so they had more people.

If somebody successfully broke through to the Divine Saint Stage after coming out of the Saint Martial Secret Zone and comprehended the Divine Ability contained inside the Divine Ability Relic that they had seen in the Saint Martial Secret Zone, it would be the greatest gain ever.

In the history of the Mystical Sky Mansion, there were only a handful of people who managed to break through to the Divine Saint Stage after coming out of the Saint Martial Secret Zone and comprehended the Divine Ability contained in the Divine Ability Relic. However, the number of these Divine Abilities that were pa.s.sed down were very few.

The Saint Martial Secret Zone would open after ten days. Due to the fact that only 30 people were allowed inside, they would need to compete for a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone.

Out of the thirty spots, ten spots were given to the Heaven Palace. The remaining twenty spots were shared by the other three palaces.

Although the Heaven Palace were given ten spots, the disciples who were qualified to compete for entrance to the Saint Martial Secret Zone were not happy at all. If it was possible, they would rather go to one of the three palaces to fight for a spot.

Although the three palaces were only given an average of seven spots each, the number of outstanding young disciples in the other three palaces were less than half compared to the Heaven Palace.

The compet.i.tion was extremely fierce in the Heaven Palace even though they were given ten spots.

There was a vast and boundless platform on the summit of the steep peak where the Heaven Palace was located. The compet.i.tion to earn a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone for the Heaven Palace would be held there.

For this reason, early in the morning, many people, including those from the three palaces, made their way over to watch the show.

Although there would be compet.i.tions to earn a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone in each palace, it would not be as interesting as the compet.i.tion in the Heaven Palace. This was why many disciples from the Earth, Mystical, and Yellow Palaces who were unqualified to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion had come to the Heaven Palace early in the morning to join in the fun.

“The spots that are given to our Heaven Palace aren’t a lot.” One of the Heaven Palace’s disciples sighed emotionally.

“That’s right. Although the spots given to our Heaven Palace is more than the other three palaces, and the last Heaven Palace’s disciple who obtains the spot might be the weakest here, he’s definitely going to be stronger than the weakest disciples who obtain the spots in the other three palaces,” another Heaven Palace’s disciple chimed in.

“Isn’t that a given? Put everything else aside, in the Heaven Palace, we already have four powerhouses who’re above the Refined Saint Stage! Two months ago, when our Heaven Palace recruited new disciples, we managed to recruit Ling Tian and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan who’re both at the Refined Saint Stage as well! Currently, our Heaven Palace has 6 Refined Saint Stage powerhouses below the age of forty!”

“The six of them will definitely obtain the spots to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone today… The fight for the remaining four spots is going to be very fierce. I suspect those who don’t have a cultivation base at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage would most likely not stand a chance in securing a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone.”

“The recruitment of so many Saint Stage geniuses of our mansion has also given quite a huge pressure on those who originally fit the requirements.”

“That’s right! Initially, I was indifferent when they announced they were recruiting Saint Stage geniuses outside since I didn’t think they’ll be able to recruit anyone at the Refined Saint Stage. However, it did not cross my mind that not only were they able to recruit powerhouses at the Refined Saint Stage and above, but both of them actually chose to join our Heaven Palace!”

“We can put w.a.n.g Fei Xuan aside since she’s the biological granddaughter of the Mansion Master of Tyrannic Saber Mansion, and she’s already pretty famous in our Mystical Sky Mansion… However, Ling Tian, on the other hand, appeared out of nowhere! He’s the strongest among all Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciples below the age of forty!”

“Previously, Ling Tian was capable of coming to draw during the duel with Guo Lu. His cultivation base must be quite near the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. After that, he was granted entrance to the Spirit Pool. It only took him twenty days to finish absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy inside! Do you all think it’s possible for him to have broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage?”

“Well, isn’t it obvious? I’m sure he has!”

“I’m pretty sure he has as well!”

…

At the surrounding of the vast platform, each of the Heaven Palace’s disciples buried their heads together in discussion. Their topic had changed from the spots granted to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone to Duan Ling Tian.

Almost 80% of the Heaven Palace’s disciples felt Duan Ling Tian must have made a breakthrough to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!

At the corner of the crowd, Guo Lu stood quietly with an indifferent smile on his face.

Only he knew that Junior Brother Ling Tian had already long broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage.

The Spirit Pool cleansing was merely a push for Junior Brother Ling Tian on his journey to the Eminent Saint Stage.

Naturally, he thought this way because Duan Ling Tian had shown him mercy. Due to this reason, he felt that Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base at that time must already be at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. After immersing himself in the Spirit Pool, perhaps, he might not have made a breakthrough, but his cultivation base had definitely been further strengthened.

It was due to this that he did not partic.i.p.ate in the discussion around him.

“Guo Lu, do you also think Ling Tian has broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage?” Two figures suddenly appeared by Guo Lu’s side. They were two young men. Their appearance was identical, and they were both dressed in white. Not only were both of them handsome, but they appeared elegant and graceful as well.

The person who had spoken was the white-clad young man standing on the left side. It was not difficult to distinguish the two white-clad young men. One of them had a red cinnabar mole between his brows, and the other had a black mole between his brows.

The person who had spoken to Guo Lu was the one with the black mole between his brows.

“I don’t know.” Guo Lu frowned when he saw these two men.

Although these two fellows did not have much enmity with him, they liked to flaunt their strength.

After he was defeated once by both of them, they would always come to challenge him without showing any mercy. Moreover, there was once he had admitted defeat, but they still did not show any mercy, causing him to be bedridden for two weeks.

Due to this reason, Guo Lu did not have a good impression of these two young men.

The two identical white-clad young men were disciples at the Heaven Palace. They were at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage and were even stronger than Guo Lu. It was obvious they were twins.

If they joined forces, coupled with the chemistry between twins, they were even able to defeat some ordinary powerhouses at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. Due to this, they were extremely arrogant.

The white-clad young man with a black mole between his brows was Luo He. He was the younger of the twins. He looked at Guo Lu disdainfully before he burst out laughing. “Guo Lu, you’ve really been slacking. He’s only a young pup, but you actually came to draw with him! How embarra.s.sing!”

Luo Shan, the other white-clad young man with the red mole between his brows, said in a deep voice, “You can embarra.s.s yourself all you want, but please leave us out of it. It’s all because of you that people began to speculate that none of us is a match for him after he came out from the Spirit Pool!”

“You can just challenge Junior Brother Ling Tian if both of you are so eager to prove your strength. Why are you showing off in front of me?” Guo Lu asked nonchalantly.

“Guo Lu, you’re seeking death.” Luo He’s expression turned grave as True Origin rose from his body. It was apparent he was eager to attack.

“Have I said something wrong?” Guo Lu smirked, “I admit that I’m inferior to both of you. You can make yourselves look good by defeating me, but doesn’t that just show how timid both of you are? Only bullying the weak but fear the strong!” Guo Lu did not bother to lower his voice when he spoke. His words immediately attracted the attention of many of Heaven Palace’s disciples.

A group of Heaven Palace’s disciples instantly came up to them and curiously sized Guo Lu and the Luo Brothers up.

“Hurmph!” Luo He’s expression turned grave when he saw Guo Lu deliberately attracting the attention of other people. If he attacked at this moment, it would just prove that Guo Lu’s words were true.

‘Face is as important to a man as bark is to a tree.’ Luo He really did not want to embarra.s.s himself.

“Guo Lu, we’ll show you that any one of us is stronger than that fellow.” Luo Shan hissed with a grim expression.

“Anyone can boast. Why don’t you come and boast to me after you’ve defeated Junior Brother Ling Tian?” The smirk on Guo Lu’s face turned wider.

At this moment, the group of Heaven Palace’s disciples who came up to them could roughly guess what was going on. At once, they began to whisper among each other. “The Luo Brothers want to have a match with Ling Tian?”

“Any one of the Luo Brothers is more powerful than Guo Lu, but there’s a possibility Ling Tian has already broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. If they fight with him individually, they might not be a match for Ling Tian.”

“That’s right! The difference between a powerhouse at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage and the peak of the Refined Saint Stage is not a joke! If Ling Tian has already broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, they won’t be a match for him unless they join forces!”

“Your words are ridiculous… It’s your own speculation that Ling Tian has broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. Perhaps, he has not even made a breakthrough.”

“If he really has not made a breakthrough, then any one of the Luo Brothers might stand a chance to win.”

…

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware he was being targeted by someone, and that someone was two of the strongest people among the Mastery Refined Saint Stage disciples in the Heaven Palace. They were a pair of twins.

Outside the steep mountain wall, Duan Ling Tian and w.a.n.g Fei Xuan rose into the air together as they made their way to the summit.

“You’ve spoken to both Lu Jian and Ren Fei, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at w.a.n.g Fei Xuan.

“Yes.” w.a.n.g Fei Xuan nodded before she was. .h.i.t by a pang of realization. “I heard the compet.i.tion to earn a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone this time in the Heaven Palace will be extremely fierce. If both of them don’t earn a spot, how are you going to repay their seniors?”
