Chapter 864: Inauguration of the Pageant

Mu Rong Qianji said, “Being lord, regardless of reason or passion, I should be ranked as first-tier. As for Mo’er and Nannan, I plan to rank them as second and third tier. When facing the Heavenly Punishing Villa, surely Yan Beifei will be the first-tier. Yan Guinan is dead, so certainly the second and third tier are made up by the sealed beast souls.”

“Yes, Lord Mu Rong has only been in the Supreme Dao Stage for a short while. It would be rather difficult for you to deal with that Yan Beifei. If you can win the first two rounds, then you will win in the third round automatically. So, I plan to send Bao Bao and Lone to help with your second-tier battle. Regardless of Mo’Er or Nannan, it will not be a problem for them to defeat the third opponent.”

Instantly, Mu Rong Xu’s graceful eyes shone. “Brother Wushuang, it will be for the best if daddy doesn’t have to fight. Let the Heavenly Punishing Villa lose and not know why! Bao Bao and Lone, how are their strength now?”

Since Bao Bao has the immemorial monkey bloodline, he possesses extraordinary strength. He has also achieved rapid progress in these years and is already at the Second Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.

Lone and Fire Kylin were at the First Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. They were somewhat less strong.

“Wushuang, didn’t you say that the sealed beast souls have the power from the Fourth to Sixth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage? If Bao Bao and Lone fight in the second tier, can they win?” Mu Rong Qianji was extremely worried.

Before his father-in-law, Qin Wushuang did not keep the suspense as he laughed. “A sealed beast soul at the Fourth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage is at most on par with the Second or Third Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage in terms of combat power. Since Bao Bao is of the ancient monkey bloodline, his explosion and combat power is definitely much stronger than ordinary divine beasts of the same level. Plus with the weapons I gave him, if he cannot beat a sealed beast soul, that will have put my cultivation in vain.”

Mu Rong Xu was full of confidence with Bao Bao as she comforted her father, “Daddy, Bao Bao has astonishing power. With Brother Wushuang’s help, even if it’s a stronger enemy, Bao Bao can defeat him with the Heaven and Earth One Rod.”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “In the beginning, Bao Bao could only perform with twenty percent of the Heaven and Earth One Rod, yet he beat Xin Tianwu to an embarrassing state. Now, after being in a few years of solitary training, he can at least unleash fifty percent of the rod’s power. I am afraid he can easily defeat Xin Tianwu if he meets her!”

This was not an exaggeration. At that moment, Bao Bao was only at the Eighth Calamity Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage and he was capable of catching Xin Tianwu, an elite warrior at the Fifth and Sixth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage off guard.

Now as he was already at the Second Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, plus the Sixth Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao Heaven and Earth One Rod, he can unleash fifty percent of its power. It will not be difficult to defeat one at the Sixth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage!

As for Nannan and Ai Simo, of course they will be sending their older sister. Ai Simo broke into the Supreme Dao Stage years ago. Since one from the dragon clans already trains fast and with the bloodline of the immemorial phantom dragon, she possessed matchless talent as the Forefather Dragon Clan. She even had more talent than many people from the Forefather Dragon Clan. Therefore, do not underestimate these dozen years, as Ai Simo also trained close to the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage!

With Qin Wushuang’s insight and special equipment, regardless of what kind of three candidates the Heavenly Punishing Villa sent out for the three-tiers, it would not be a problem to take this round.

If Bao Bao could win in the second round, with two wins of three rounds, it was unnecessary to fight the third round. Naturally, Qin Wushuang arranged it this way to care for the pride of his father-in-law. Although Lord Mu Rong was the leader of a sect, naturally he should be placed in the first-tier yet it was too short of a period since he entered the Supreme Dao Stage. If he were to truly engage in battle with Yan Beifei, it would be difficult for him to achieve victory with one hundred percent assurance unless he gave him a Ninth Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao weapon.

However, Qin Wushuang would not be that reckless to give Lord Mu Rong a weapon at the Ninth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao level. He would not be able to unleash much power of it in a short period.

Since there was no need for Lord Mu Rong to fight, why should he waste the Ninth Calamity divine weapon here? That would be the trump card Qin Wushuang would use to deal with Xin Tianwen.

In such competition, any form of equipment, weapons, or individuals could only participate once. Of course, those needing to fight twice were exceptions.

For the same weapon or piece of equipment, if it was needed to fight a second round, the same individual could continue to use it. For example, if Qin Wushuang encountered Xin Tianwen first, then meets Head Chief Yun Qinghan of the Yun Clan second, the same weapon and equipment could be repeatedly used.

Naturally, such arrangement was appropriate. It was the same as letting the Floating Snow House sit as one of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.

Qin Wushuang’s care increased Mu Rong Xu’s status and reputation at the Floating Snow House greatly. It had even reached a form of exaggerated influence.

Initially, her disgraceful behavior of escaping from marriage was far in the past.

“Think about it, if Xu’Er married Luo Ting of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, when the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect falls, the Floating Snow House would follow to decline. Certainly we would be following the misfortune.”

“Yes, initially we did not understand her actions, we thought she was crazy. Now it seems we are the crazy ones.”

“Ha ha, we are not crazy. Indeed, the outsiders cannot imagine such a situation. Who knew that our Miss would meet an exceptional person like Head Chief Wushuang. Our Miss has good eyes.”

“Yes, I must admit it. This time, our Floating Snow House was able to have the opportunity to make a go at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, thanks to our Miss. Those first-tier powerhouses that are better than our Floating Snow House don’t even have as much cheer as us. Initially, we were just a second-rate powerhouse. We only ranked in the top twenty at the Xuan Yuan Mound. Now, we are marching towards the top eight with the highest glory!”

Such public opinion kept flourishing to spread among the disciples of the Floating Snow House. Even those deputy chiefs of the Mu Rong Clan, those cousins of Mu Rong Qianji were deadly loyal and unswerving, despite how much they were against it in the beginning.

As he walked with Mu Rong Xu at the rear mountain of the Floating Snow House unhurriedly, his mood was completely different than the last time. Previously, when Qin Wushuang was with Mu Rong Xu at the rear of the mountain, it was the period when the clan was strongly against them for being together and when the Heavenly Punishing Villa’s Yan Zhuiyang and others tangled the situation. They were in a very dark and gloomy mood.

Now, under the same sky at the same mountain and the same flowing snow scene, it made them feel as if the entire world was opened up for them. They were incredibly happy.

“Brother Wushuang, when do you think we can live peacefully and quietly like now? I look forward to it.” Mu Rong Xu’s voice was somewhat dazed and tenderness flowed out of her eyes like limpid water.

Qin Wushuang felt his heart throb. From the moment he met Mu Rong Xu until falling in love, a dozen years had passed. The two of them still floated like duckweed and were unable to settle down.

Regardless of the cause, it was too unfair to this girl.

Upon seeing Qin Wushuang at a loss for words, Mu Rong Xu immediately said, “Brother Wushuang, I am not giving you pressure for speaking. You are a true man, you have your aspirations and the duty that belongs to your destiny. I will wait for you, all the way.”

“Xu’Er, regardless, when the Heavenly Emperor competition ends, I will come and marry you at the Floating Snow House. By that time, the entire Xuan Yuan Mound will celebrate together. Do you still remember Xu’Er, I once promised you that I will marry you with all glory and honor and make your people have you marry me with great happiness?”

“I do!” Mu Rong Xu’s entire heart was about to melt as she sighed with fascination. “I remember each of your words. In these past years, when you are not next to me, I always thought back on each scene when we met and fell in love. I thought back on every word you said.”

For this girl that was strong on the outside, only when her loved one was next to her, would she open up everything in her mind as she nestled against him. She declared her love as if she was obsessed. She did not keep the slightest feeling hidden.

With the whispering from his loved one, even a heroic figure could not help but to transform into the most gentleman. As Qin Wushuang felt deeply touched, he hugged Mu Rong Xu gently.

“Xu’Er, for these years, you had it tough.”

“Brother Wushuang, I am not. With someone to worry about, with a person worthy of love and worthy to think about, how could it be tough? The days when I truly had it tough was before I met you. The entire world seemed to be going against me. Everyone was forcing me to marry Luo Ting. Fortunately, Daddy understood me.”

When she talked about that past, Mu Rong Xu was full of emotion.

“Brother Wushuang, when you and I are married, we must invite your father, big sister Xiu’Er, and all of your disciples to come watch. I heard that the more blessings a newlywed couple gets, the more happiness they will have.”

“Ha ha, of course. They are all my close kin, how can they not come?”

As the snowflakes drifted down, the two figures walked up the mountain. Their happiness lay ahead of them.

...

After five hundred years of suppression and suspense, the long awaited Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant had finally arrived leisurely. The pageant was still upheld at the Xuan Yuan Mound holy place.

Due to the hosting of the pageant, this port of the holy place was open to the public completely. As long as you were part of a second-tier powerhouse, you would be qualified to watch.

This way, the attraction of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant was greatly increased. Across the entire Xuan Yuan Mound, there were certainly as many as hundreds of second-tier powerhouses.

Naturally, with the opportunity to see it with one’s own eyes, they would not come in groups of one or two. Everyone was flocking in the hundreds and thousands. For freelance martial artists, as long as you reached the Perfect Void Martial Stage, you would be qualified to observe.

In this case, on the opening day of the pageant, one hundred thousand people had arrived at the legendary Xuan Yuan holy place majestically. The core area of the martial arts competition was located at the Xuan Yuan stage!

That lofty Xuan Yuan stage symbolized the authority and status of the Xuan Yuan Clan. It intimidated all sects. For tens and thousands of years, the spots of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates had emerged from that stage. For tens and thousands of years, the seat of the Heavenly Emperor was also determined on that stage!

Per the rules, of course the Xuan Yuan Clan would give a speech. Being the totem elite warrior in charge of hosting secular matters, it was not the first time for Xuan Yuan Ba to meet everyone under such circumstances.

He had already hosted the event four times. As this was his fifth time hosting the Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant, the situation of not being able to suppress the scene would never occur.

In between movements, his overbearing manner occurred naturally. Perhaps he was not much stronger than a person at the level of Xin Tianwen, yet the identity of being a totem elite warrior caused him to be destined to create intimidation.

“Everyone, after five hundred years have passed, I am sure you cannot wait. At this moment, the more I speak, the more I will be losing your interest. Historically, those heroic and impassioned speeches have been said too much. This time, I do not wish to repeat them. Still the old words, the Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant will be fair, justified, and open! Within the rules, any methods are allowed. Outside the rules, disobeying the rules will result in disqualification!”

When he said this, Xuan Yuan Ba swept his austere gaze in all directions and across the faces of each person.

When he look passed Qin Wushuang’s face, he revealed a slight smile and appeared calm. In fact, he had the skill to be qualified. Regardless of the rules or opponents, he already did a thorough investigation.

Now, they just waited for Xuan Yuan Ba’s order to begin the pageant!
