As soon as Lin Ming stepped into the Tian Xuan Mountain's mountain gate, he felt that the surrounding heaven and earth aura had thickened by six or seven times. If one were to cultivate here for a long time, their efforts would be doubled.

  Turning back to glance at the mountain gate, he saw that there were faintly flashing symbols on the mountain gate, obviously this mountain gate also had an array carved on it.

  "It turns out that the Tianxuan Mountain was originally built on the core of the Earth's Dragon Vein, and with the formation locking it in place, the Heaven and Earth's original energy is gathered here. Not to mention the main peak of Tianxuan Mountain, even the Heaven and Earth's original energy of Tianxuan City is stronger than that of Tianyun Country by a notch. Let alone the other resources of Qixuan Valley, just this one spiritual site is enough to make many warriors jealous. No wonder some Bone Forging Peak warriors would rather guard the gate of Tianxuan City than become an officer in a small country."

  It's not just Lin Ming who discovered the dense heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi of Tian Xuan Mountain. Many young and handsome geniuses who came to Tian Xuan Mountain for the first time were also amazed by this, and while they sighed and discussed it, they also began to envy the resources possessed by the sect disciples.

  On a large stone not far from the main road, several Qi Xuan Valley disciples stood here watching the crowded flow of people not far away, and they were already used to the countryman's expression on the faces of these small national warriors.

  "Is that him?" A white-clothed man standing at the front pointed lightly into the crowd and said to a disciple beside him through true yuan transmission.

  "That's right, it was him, Lin Ming, he was the one who injured Ouyang Ziyun."

  "What ranking is Shanmen Guan?" Although the ranking of Shanmen Guan cannot fully reflect one's strength, it still has great reference value.

  "About ten, I didn't count carefully."

  "Not a bad ranking. With such a ranking, I don't have to worry about him not making it out of the line anymore, this is for the best, I'll make him regret it." The young man in white said with a few hints of a smile on his face.

  At this moment, Lin Ming suddenly turned his head and looked at him in the crowd.

  Four eyes met, Lin Ming smiled slightly and turned his head away.

  "In his heart, the man in white was startled. 'No wonder he's a genius of soul power, his perception is so sharp that it surprises me. Even when others observe him, they can notice it too. Good, I'm getting more and more interested.'"

  One year ago, Lin Ming had never thought that he would spend his sixteenth birthday in the Seven Abyss Valley. At that time, the Seven Abyss Valley was a heavenly existence for him, and it was too far away to reach. Not to mention the Seven Abyss Valley, even the Heaven's Operation Pavilion of the Seven Abyss Sect was difficult for him to aspire to.

  On Lin Ming's sixteenth birthday, the Total Sect Martial Arts Meet officially began.

  The arena was set up at the main peak of Tianxuan Mountain, which is also the location of the Seven Mysteries Valley's headquarters.

  The main peak of Tianxuanshan is six thousand zhang high, with a majestic body that has no equal. The rocks on the mountain are steep and rugged, emitting an intangible aura of pressure. Even weak warriors can feel the heavy pressure when climbing the mountain, unable to exert more than half of their strength.

  As the sun rises, more than a thousand people have gathered in the square in front of the main hall of Tianxuan Mountain. Among them are disciples of Qixuan Valley, as well as high-ranking figures from large families and affiliated sects of Qixuan Valley. They were invited by Qixuan Valley to watch the martial arts competition on the square, also to show off their strength.

  The Grand Plaza, ten miles in circumference, was as flat as a whetstone, carved out by the high-ranking martial artists on the mountain body. At this time, the plaza had been divided into ten regions, each region separated by an array, these arrays covering the entire region could isolate the true yuan and avoid danger.

  209 young and handsome men who passed through the Shanmen Pass will be divided into ten groups, with 20-21 people in each group. The top ten from each group will advance, making a total of 100 people advancing from the ten groups.

  This is the top 100 of the General Assembly Wu, being able to achieve a top 100 result is something to be proud of.

  Young and promising players who were eliminated still have a chance to compete for subsequent rankings through the "Killing Array" method. In short, as long as they pass the Mountain Gate, they will get a definite ranking.

  Lin Ming had already learned of his group assignment - the sixth group. This grouping was not randomly drawn, but rather arranged by the Seven Profound Valleys.

  Tianyun Nation and Huoluo Nation belong to the same arena, every time the Grand Clan Assembly is held, they will be divided together, plus three neighboring countries and the Xi Wu family, a total of five forces.

  This time, Wu will be fierce. The five forces passed through the Shanmen Pass with a total of nine people. Three from Tianyun Country, three from Huoluo Country, and three from the two major second-class martial arts families. The last country had no one left.

  Six groups with a total of twenty-one people, excluding these nine people, the remaining twelve people will be supplemented by the Seven Mysteries Valley Sect.

  The General Assembly will arrange the grouping according to the ranking of the Mountain Gate, striving to make the difference in strength between each group of martial artists not too great.

  Lin Ming surveyed the arena, just then he heard a clear and sharp eagle's cry coming from above his head. He looked up to see a gigantic Wind Eagle spreading its wings and circling in the sky above Tianyun Mountain. The majestic Wind Eagle, with an air of superiority, gazed down at the world below.

  This divine wind eagle is four or five times larger than the average divine wind eagle, and its wings are golden. The golden wings easily bring to mind the Golden Winged Peng, so it's likely that this large bird also has some sacred beast bloodline.

  "He is a man from Peacock Mountain, so arrogant, he even didn't land when he arrived at our mountain gate, still hovering in the sky."

  "No way, Kōngquèshān has become more and more formidable over the past hundred years, steadily suppressing us, being arrogant is normal..."

  Several fellow disciples of Qiuxuan Valley from Group Six were whispering among themselves beside Lin Ming.

  "Peacock Mountain? What place is that?" Lin Ming was unfamiliar with this name.

  Qinzi said, "Kongque Mountain is 800,000 miles away from Qixuan Valley and is also a third-rate sect. Its strength is slightly stronger than that of Qixuan Valley, especially in the past few hundred years, Kongque Mountain has produced several extraordinary geniuses, making it one of the top first-class sects among the third-rate sects. Every time our sect holds a martial assembly, someone from Kongque Mountain will come to observe and understand the strength of the younger generation of Qixuan Valley. Of course, when their sect holds a martial assembly, we will also send people there."

  "So that's how it is...... How many three-product sects are there in the Tianyuan Continent? What is the highest grade of the sect?" Lin Ming couldn't help but wonder, as he increasingly came into contact with the outside world, more and more superpowers shocked him.

  Qinzi smiled wryly and said: "I'm not clear about this either, most of the sects that have dealings with Qixuan Valley are third-rate, and those higher-level sects, we can't even get in touch with..."

  As soon as Qinzhi's words fell, another clear and loud cry echoed in the sky, even more shrill than before, almost stunning.

  Due to this clear cry, the Golden Winged Wind Eagle that was originally proudly circling in the air seemed to be frightened, its original proud and overbearing demeanor vanished instantly, and the Golden Winged Wind Eagle hastily fell down.

  Nearly a thousand pairs of eyes under the mountain looked up at the sky together, and for a moment, everyone was stunned.

  "Vermilion Bird!!"

  "Heavens! A Vermilion Bird! Am I seeing things?!"

  Just now, the Golden Winged Wind Eagle only had the sacred beast bloodline, but the Vermilion Bird was a true and proper sacred beast. In the Tianyuan Continent without the True Phoenix, the Vermilion Bird was the king of all birds. The Golden Winged Wind Eagle would inevitably feel fear from the depths of its bloodline when it encountered the Vermilion Bird, and could only hastily retreat, so how dare it circle in the same sky as the Vermilion Bird?

  "I've never seen a sacred beast in my life! This thing, even the elder inside the sect wouldn't dare say they've all seen it!"

  "It's no wonder it's the Seven Mysteries Valley's main sect... If I were in a small place like mine, I wouldn't be able to see such a sacred beast even if I lived a whole lifetime..." A member of the Sixteen Martial Families clenched his fists, his face filled with excitement, feeling that he had no regrets in this life after seeing the legendary sacred beast.

  He didn't notice that several disciples of the Qiuxuan Valley sect next to him looked at each other in confusion after hearing his words, one of the Qiuxuan Valley disciples muttered to himself: "Is there a Zhuque in our sect? I've been in Qiuxuan Valley for 20 years and haven't heard of it..."

  The Vermilion Bird flew to the very top of the Tianxuan Mountain, and even the normally calm Qinzijia lost his composure. "They... seem to be from Shenfeng Island, this is... a fourth-grade sect."

  Each level of the sect has its own circle, and a fourth-level sect generally won't associate with a third-level sect. Just as Qinzijia said that the seventh Xuan Valley of the fourth-level sect was out of reach, suddenly, a fourth-level sect really came.

  Lin Ming unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and his face revealed a strange expression after hearing Qinzhiya's words.

  "Divine Phoenix Island?" The question was asked by Qin Xuan, who saw the Vermilion Bird hovering in the air. Qin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of longing, thinking that it would be great if he had such a Vermilion Bird too.

  Qinzi said, "The Shen Huang Island is also one of the top powers among the four major sects, I didn't expect them to come and watch the Seven Mysteries Valley's General Assembly of Martial Arts, this is probably the first time in several hundred years..."

  Qinzi's words were not yet finished when the Spirit Boat of Qixuan Valley flew up and went to welcome them.

  Lin Ming took one glance and saw that the person standing in front of the Spirit Boat was none other than the three great Valley Masters of the Seven Abyss Valleys. This kind of reception, was absolutely top-notch.

  "The guest is strong and the host is weak, and they differ by more than one level... it's hopeless," Qinzijia shook his head and said. The gap between each level of power is extremely large, for example, Tianyun Country is a second-level power, while Qiuxiang Valley is a third-level power. Even if Qiuxiang Valley sends someone who is not even a senior elder like Ouyang Dianhua, the emperor and ministers of Tianyun Country still have to show respect and be cautious not to offend them, which shows just how big the gap between the two powers is.

  Qi Xuan Valley Master Shi Zongtian also received the news a few days ago, and learned that Shen Huang Island would send someone to observe their General Assembly of Martial Arts today. Shi Zongtian was inexplicably puzzled, not knowing why a fourth-rate sect like theirs suddenly came to join in on the excitement.

  "In the lower seven Xuan Valley, Master Shi Zongtian, respectfully welcomes the Shen Huang Island Wudang fellow practitioners." Master Shi Zongtian stood at the bow of the spirit boat, and from a distance, he cupped his hands in greeting, showing respect without being overly humble.

  "Lord Shigoku, I've long admired you." The speaker was a woman in a green robe with her face hidden behind a veil. Her cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Pre-Heavenly realm. Beside her stood two purple-robed maidens who seemed to be at the peak of the Post-Heavenly realm.

  The Shen Huang Island takes the phoenix as its sacred beast, and the transmission of its skills also comes from the phoenix's enlightenment. The overall style is biased towards yin and yang, making it more suitable for female practitioners, so nine out of ten disciples in the sect are women.

  Lin Ming caught sight of the masked woman at a glance. Although her face was covered, Lin Ming could still recognize that she wasn't Mu Qianyu.
