Shuihan Yan left with endless reverie.

Ye Zichen took a cold shower to extinguish the flames in his heart.

However, Ye Zichen's words to Shui Hanyan untied the knot in Ye Chenfeng's heart, causing him to no longer have any concerns and to accept his relationship with Shui Hanyan.

Ye Chenfeng noticed the flash of astonishment in Qi Dongyi's eyes, smiled, and asked softly.

"Father has decided on the first round of the competition at the dao comprehension stage, Feng Saint Master, please follow me!"

As he said that, Qi Dongyi personally brought Ye Zichen to one of the forbidden areas in the Eight Qi Palace. It was located in a place with layers of restrictions, in the cultivation platform located in the Demon Mountain at the east of the palace.

While Qi Dong was holding the jade token and breaking through the layers of restrictions, moving through the hidden secrets of the Demon Mountain, the speedy deductions of the God Devouring Brain detected the abnormality through the layers of restrictions.

Deep within the Demon Mountain, the Godeater's Brain felt a vague bloodline aura. This bloodline aura was exactly the same as the one refined by Ye Zichen, and similar to that of the Nirvana Realm Supreme Elder who had tried to assassinate him that night.

"Could the real culprit behind this assassination be in this demon mountain?"

When the mind devouring noticed the Demon Lord's bloodline, it caused Ye Zichen to think about it elegantly, causing him to be even more vigilant.

"The Dao comprehension stage is right in front!" Qi Dong pointed to a huge light wall shrouded in restrictions and said, "This dao comprehension platform has existed for countless years, and is the inheritance of our Eight Qi Kingdom. The first match between you and Li Tianyi, is about this dao comprehension platform."

In order to get a good impression of Ye Chenfeng, Qi Dongyi introduced him to Ye Chenfeng in detail.

"Dao comprehension stage …."

Ye Chenfeng did not expect that the first round of the competition between him and Li Tianyi would involve the inheritance Superclass of the Eight Qi Kingdom, and he was even a bit interested in this place.

If he wanted to destroy the Eight Qiuji Divine Kingdom in the future, this dao comprehension platform would have to be destroyed.

Ye Zichen followed Qi Dongyi through a sky-like restriction and arrived underneath the dao comprehension platform that was as smooth as jade and had tens of thousands of dao runes on its surface.

At this time, Qi Chengtian, the Demon King, and the other higher ups of the Eight Qi Kingdom had already arrived. They sat on soft thrones and watched the match with the Myriad Tribulations Sect's Sect Leader, Li Fengxing.

Meanwhile, his opponent, Li Tianyi, was clearing away all distracting thoughts as he sat cross-legged below the Dao Understanding Arena, meditating and waiting.

Li Tianyi opened his tightly shut eyes when he felt Ye Zichen's aura appear. His obsidian eyes were filled with a strong desire for battle.

"Alright, with the Wind Saint Master here, let the competition begin." An old man with snow-white hair and wearing a dark kirin robe stood up from his throne and said, "This old man is Sakya. He's the Imperial Advisor of the Eight Qi Kingdom. This old man will be the judge for the battle between the two of you."

"After this old man and His Majesty had a discussion, the three matches between the Wind Saint Master and Young Master Li had determined one's perception, willpower, and martial prowess. Regardless of who won two matches, the final victor would be the one to marry my Eight Qi Kingdom's princess, Shui Hanyan.

"This first round of comprehension will be decided on this dao comprehension platform!"

"The Dao comprehension stage is the foundation and source of heritage for our country. It contains the most fundamental heritage of our country, and today's competition is to understand one of the Dao comprehension stage's sacred arts within a day – the Dragon Suppressing Stance."

"The Dragon Suppression Stance is a saint level ability. If I can see through it, I can condense the Dragon Suppression Stance out of thin air to suppress the world."

"There are a total of nine levels to the Dragon Suppressing Pile. Each level can condense a Dragon Suppressing Pile. Whoever gathers the most Dragon Suppressing Pile on this day will be the victor."

After introducing himself in detail, Royal Elder Shakya announced: "You all prepare to begin the Comprehension Competition!"

Ye Chenfeng took a look at the dao comprehension platform that was covered by the restrictions, then sat down on the west side of the platform, pulling a long distance away from Li Tianyi.

"Alright, the battle of perception shall begin!"

Imperial Advisor Shakya dispelled the restrictions on the Dao Seeking Stage and unleashed several complex hand seals. Mysterious Dao patterns emerged, and these were the chants of the Dragon Subduing Stance.

At this moment, a huge funnel appeared in the sky. A large amount of quicksand started to flow, and the battle between Ye Chenfeng and Li Tianyi also officially began.

"Hu!"

Ye Zichen took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He controlled the mind devouring as he quickly deduced, then released his powerful soul force, which penetrated through the layer of stone on the surface of the arena and began to see through the Dao patterns.

"As expected of the top-notch inheritance left behind by the demon race. It is indeed mysterious!"

After comprehending the Dragon Suppression Stance, Ye Chen discovered that cultivating the Dragon Suppression Stance was extremely difficult. A normal genius would not even be able to comprehend a single hair in a day, let alone condense the Dragon Suppression Stance.

However, Ye Chenfeng possessed a god-devouring brain that defied the will of the heavens, causing his comprehension ability to change infinitely.

As the mind devouring brain quickly deduced, the unfathomable Dragon Suppression Stance's cultivation formula was continuously being comprehended, while Ye Chenfeng's understanding towards the Dragon Suppression Stance was also getting deeper and deeper.

On the other hand, Li Tianyi had met with quite a challenge. His brows were tightly knitted together and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

The sand within the funnel continued to swirl around in the air. Soon, half a day had passed.

Suddenly, Ye Zichen quickly twisted his hands, causing a strong intent to leak out from his body and link with the heaven and earth.

The next moment, a stone pillar coiled around the coiling dragon appeared in the air. It was floating in the air, carrying with it the power to suppress the heaven and earth.

"To be able to reach the first level of the Dragon Suppression Stance in less than half a day, this Feng Chen is truly not simple!"

As he looked at the Dragon Suppressing Pile above Ye Zichen's head, the Demon King revealed a smile. However, the Myriad Tribulations Sect's leader, Li Fengxing's, expression turned dark.

Although Qi Chengtian's expression was calm, his eyes were focused on Ye Chenfeng. It was clear that he was more optimistic about Ye Chenfeng.

Not long after Ye Zichen had cultivated the Dragon Suppression Stance to the first level, Li Tianyi had also successfully condensed a Dragon Suppression Stance to suppress space.

"Feng Chen, I have already found the key to cultivating the Dragon Suppressing Pile. You will lose for sure!"

Li Tianyi glanced at Ye Chenfeng, whose eyes were tightly shut. He removed all the distracting thoughts from his mind and continued to read them thoroughly, hoping to defeat him in the strongest possible way.
