Through the thick smoke of the explosion, one could vaguely see a figure. It must have been Qin Tian who was at the center of the explosion.

It looked like Qin Tian was still standing there with his left arm raised high, as if he was holding onto a sword-shaped artifact. The disciples, hunters heads, deacons and elders numbered more than just a few hundred thousand, and all of them had their pupils constrict.

Sure enough, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the one standing proudly on stage was Qin Tian himself, and the thing in his hand was not a side object, but the destroyed Flowing Cloud Sword!

"Monster!" "I am afraid that this kind of body is no longer within the category of a human being!"

Everyone was astonished, but they also realized that it was an unbelievable fact, that there was a layer of protective qi around Qin Tian!

In other words, Qin Tian's protective aura was instantly ignited, but it did not harm his Dantian, and in that instant, he condensed a new layer of protective aura.

Not only that, the explosion caused by the will power of the White Cloud Sword Saint still could not break Qin Tian's protective qi barrier!

If not for the fact that everyone in Celestial Sect of Clouds knew of Qin Tian's past identity, there would have been people who would suspect that the Protector Elder had sent a direct disciple to be a gunner and wanted to take the reward for being promoted to the top ranker.

"Freshman, are you alright?"

Qin Tian called out the Core of Mind within his sea of consciousness.

The reality was not as heaven defying as the surrounding disciples imagined. The first half of Qin Tian's body was not far from the truth. Qin Tian's Dantian and meridians were much more tyrannical than the ordinary cultivators.

However, the will power left behind by the, the damage from the explosion was mostly blocked by the Heart of Extreme Trigram, so the light that enveloped the stage lasted even longer.

Legend has it that he was only a step away from entering the True Immortals at the peak of White Cloud Sword Saint. Although he had already fallen and her Flowing Cloud Sword s had been mostly drained of time, the willpower left in the sword had long since left his body and it was unique. The self-destruct force was not inferior to a full powered strike from an expert of Earthly Paradise, even with's Demonic Secret Art, he might not be able to block it.

His Extreme Heart was extremely weak to begin with, although he had used the Seven-coloured Violet Flower to recover some of his Essence, he was still unable to take the huge injury. After being beaten up, the speed at which he moved in the depths of his sea of consciousness was not as fast as usual, and he did not even have the strength to split his attention to answer Qin Tian's question.

"This will probably take a very long time to recover."

Qin Tian still had a lingering fear.

After pausing for a moment, Qin Tian scanned his surroundings, and quickly realised that Ye Jianfei was hidden in the crowd, laughing out loud, and said: "Rumor has it that the White Cloud Sword Saint is the number one swordsman of the world, and has long reached the realm of the One with the Sword, allowing your lowly generation to obtain his inheritance, making such an action of abandoning your sword to flee for their lives, is truly lamentable!"

With that, Qin Tian threw the broken Flowing Cloud Sword on the ground and left with his hands behind his back.

It was not that Qin Tian was generous, it was just that this Flowing Cloud Sword had long been refined by Ye Jianfei and was so damaged, so it was simply worthless. The amount of money needed to repair it was enough to make a suitable spirit blade, and only the Earthly Immortal ability could easily erase the spirit within it.

It would be better to be generous and take it for granted that he would be able to intimidate the remaining two formidable opponents at the same time.

Qin Tian sat back on his seat and rested for a long time before the deacon in charge of adjudication finally regained his senses and announced that Qin Tian had won.

Not to mention the outer sect disciples of the Celestial Sect of Clouds, even a few inner sect disciples would not be able to do such a thing. Just the aftermath of the battle alone was enough to injure hundreds and thousands of the spectating disciples, not to mention the strength and control the two had displayed during the fierce battle, it could be said to be a prelude to the finals.

I am afraid that in every season after today, during the advancement assessment, I will have to take out the scriptures from the battle to celebrate. The only flaw is that at the last moment, Ye Jianfei abandoned the sword and escaped, and compared to Qin Tian, he was like the clouds in the sky.

The ranking competition was still in progress, and it was quickly Qin Tian's turn again. This time, he was fighting a hallucination outer disciple.

Although the disciple was afraid of Qin Tian's tyranny, he was also hoping for a fluke. He guessed that Qin Tian was heavily injured by the explosion and went up on stage to meet him.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished, and in an instant, Qin Tian displayed an even sharper aura than before. Even though he did not borrow the power of the spirit blade, he still scared the disciple to death, afraid that he would end up like Ye Jianfei.

"Qin Tian, your spirit blade was damaged in the battle with Ye Jianfei just now, this magic tool will be returned to you."

Guo Bao reluctantly handed over the magical equipment.

It could be seen that Guo Bao was extremely fond of this magical equipment, but he could still bear to be loved by Qin Tian. He was truly a good friend that was worth making.

Qin Tian slightly waved his hand, and said: "This magic tool is compatible with the cultivation method you cultivate. It can help you to pass through the most difficult meat holy stage, I have other preparations."

Originally, Qin Tian did not want to divulge the treasures he had obtained from watching the glacier. After all, he did not have the right origins, and if he wanted to investigate, it would implicate some more obscure matters. Hence, he only took a high-grade Profound Rank spirit blade in the beginning.

But unexpectedly on their journey, many of the disciples who had won the stage had spirit blade s in their hands, and among them there was no lack of Profound Ranked quality goods, while Ye Jianfei had even taken out a set of seven flying swords with Flowing Cloud Sword as the leader, what reason did Qin Tian have to keep all those treasures in his storage ring?

Immediately, Qin Tian thought about it, and found another top grade Profound Rank long blade from the center, it was not that Qin Tian liked this path, but rather that a large majority of the treasures were devil grade equipment, the remaining spirit blade protector s were many different types, eighteen types of weapons, and Qin Tian could only choose this blade that was still considered good.

In addition, Qin Tian had also selected a protective equipment for the body, it was called the Purple Flame Profound Ice Armor, and it was made from profound ice. Using exquisite techniques and a purple flame formation, it could have the effect of protecting the body with two levels of ice and fire, and was only three levels away from the Five Elements force that could only be displayed with the Earthly Immortal ability.

With the spirit blade protector in his hand, Qin Tian became even more confident. Even though the Heart of Extreme Heart was newly born and entered a hibernating state, he still had the confidence to defeat the next two strong enemies.

In his spare time, Qin Tian observed Chu Zhongtian and Xue Liang's battlefield and discovered that these two people were indeed the peak existences among the outer sect disciples, and each of them had profound divine abilities.

Needless to say, his father, Xue Chen, was an expert in the cultivation of thunder-attribute skills. Even the three great inner sect disciples of Extreme Yin Gate were extremely fearful of the power of , and even though Xue Liang was only a cultivator from the seven great hallucination of flesh sage, he was still able to comprehend the profoundness of Phantom has a spirit, but he still managed to display an exquisite lightning attribute skill.

Not only that, Xue Chen's broken purple lightning Talisman was also in Xue Liang's hands. This Talisman was the key to triggering the World Extinguishing Thunder, and had transformed into the "Five Thunder Roars on top" ultimate Mystery Thunder Armor during the battle at the Watchkeeping Glacier.

He thought that Xue Chen would think of a way to fix it once he returned to his sect, and would directly pass it into the hands of his son Xue Liang. Presumably, the sect had bestowed upon him another magical artifact, and that Xue Chen could be considered to have benefited from misfortune, better than dying in the hands of Elder Lin Feng, who was watching over the glacier.

On the other side, Chu Zhongtian also had a strong battle power that could not be ignored, and Guo Bao was even more direct: "This Senior Chu is a disciple of our Celestial Sect of Clouds from the Absolute Sun Sect, and practices the clan's most valuable treasure, the « Nine Heavens Scripture », which is even more profound and mysterious than some of the higher level techniques of our Celestial Sect of Clouds, if you go up against him, you must be careful of those mystical Scarlet Flames Mantra."

Thinking about how Qin Tian had heard of the Absolute Sun Sect when he first entered the Immortal Martial Realm, who was said to be on the same level as some middle-sized sects, he did not pay much attention to the matter. Instead, he was watching the glacier and was ambushed by the Extreme Yin Gate.

When he heard the name "Absolute Yang" this time, he could not help but be extra careful, thinking that the "Absolute Yang" sect and the "Extreme Yin Gate" were formed from the first sect of the Primordial Dao, so the techniques they trained in must be extremely mysterious.

Not long after, the victories on the stage were decided, and it was truly Xue Liang, Chu Zhongtian and a female disciple obtaining victory, the number of outer sect disciples in the Celestial Sect of Clouds was one hundred thousand, and there were many female disciples with profound cultivations, but only one of them had reached the end.

Qin Tian saw that the young girl was dressed in a magic robe, it was exquisite and charming, her face was delicate and pretty, as though she was from a pavilion. He could not help but ask: "What is the background of this young lady?"

"Oh?"

"This is a princess of the Duke's Mansion within the borders of the China. Her name is Lu Qingfeng, and because she did not want to join any of the ten sects that use martial arts to enter the Dao, she came all the way to the Chu Country under the jurisdiction of our Celestial Sect of Clouds s that is a million miles away, and entered the outer sect by step. She is also an expert who is proficient in talisman arts!"

Hearing that, Qin Tian could not help but take a few more glances. Although Lu Qingfeng had already stepped into the Celestial Sect, his movements still retained the customs left behind in the mortal world, which made him seem like a lady from a noble family.

One was unruly and proud, while the other was elegant and graceful.

As their gazes intersected, Lu Qingfeng gave Qin Tian a light smile, as if he was intentionally trying to befriend him.

This round, the finalists were going to decide the selection, so it wasn't for the deacons to split up into groups. Rather, they were called to a table where four talismans were arranged neatly.

"The four of you, choose a spirit rune and infuse it with spiritual energy. Red will form a group and blue will form a pair. Each of you will choose your opponent for the competition."

The deacon explained the rules and made a gesture.

The four of them extended their hands one by one to retrieve a spirit rune. Qin Tian had yet to infuse spirit energy when Xue Liang spoke out: "You had better pray that we are not split into one group. Then Senior Chu and Senior Lu might spare your life."

"Is that so?"

Qin Tian chuckled, and imbued some Spirit Qi into the talisman.

Immediately, the spirit talisman released a cold blue light, which was the same as Xue Liang.

Xue Liang was startled, but he still laughed lightly: "You can be at ease, Clan Elder Xue Chen is completely devoted to my Celestial Sect of Clouds, only you, my only son, I will stop at that point, and definitely not kill you."

His words were full of mockery and contempt, his plan of attack was even more profound than Xue Liang's.

After Xue Liang heard this, he was so angry that he immediately started shouting, and everything was in chaos.
