Spring left and autumn came. Time flew by, and a year later, summer arrived.

Ye Zhifa recalled that the last time he left Mount Li, it was already an entire year ago, when he went down the mountain to patrol.

The reason why they called it a patrol was to let the inexperienced Successor Disciples experience the world's hundred forms.

However, compared to their boring journey, the downhill trip of those disciples who had profound cultivations was much more interesting.

Just like Ye Zhifa, who knew that the strongest disciple of their generation in the Sword Palace, the Sect Leader who was rumored to have already reached the level of Divine Abilities Realm, Mu Guiren, had discovered that there were villagers setting up a altar to pay their respects to evil spirits the moment they descended the mountain. He thought that Yama Minamiya was preaching here, so he slowly followed the clues. In the end, when he couldn't find the disciples of the Yama Palace, he discovered a hundred year old evil ghost.

At that time, Mu Guiren had waged a huge battle with the evil ghost, and after completely destroying the entire mountain, he had finally managed to destroy the evil ghost.

It was only after Ye Zhifa returned to the mountain that he heard of this soul-stirring battle. Otherwise, he would have definitely looked for an opportunity to take a look at the battlefield and experience the aftermath of a battle between true experts.

However, after Ye Zhifa returned to the mountain, he changed from his lazy look from before and started to seriously supervise his cultivation.

Towards such a change, Ye Zhifa naturally did not understand. After asking, he found out that the next year was the date of the competition between Bend Flower Sword Palace s.

As I said before, the Bend Flower Sword Palace and the Sun Moon and Star Sect are from the same branch, but because of a struggle for ideas and benefits, they ultimately became fire and water. The two sects naturally wouldn't consider each other's disciples' friendship towards each other and compared to the disciples of the other sects, the reason for this competition was just to compete for one of the Mirage of the Darkya region s in the center.

In the Frozen Bone Forest in the middle of Cold Forest Country, there was an existence that was countless times more dangerous and productive than the Snow Ridge Illusion Realm. This illusion contained a lot of heavenly resources and had always been one of the main battlefields between Bend Flower Sword Palace and them.

Later on, the two sects' upper echelons both felt that the death toll would be too high, which would be detrimental to the sect's development. Thus, they came to an agreement that the two sides would have a contest five years before the Illusory Realm opened, and the winner would have the right to enter the illusion next time.

However, the Frost Bone Forest's illusion world was different from the Snow Ridge illusion world, which opened every five years. The time needed to open this illusion world was uncertain, and it was possible for it to open from twenty to thirty years.

At this time, it had only been fourteen years since the last opening of the Icy Bone Illusion. The disciples stationed outside of the illusion were already aware that the illusion was about to move. It seemed like the interval between opening it this time was the shortest twenty years.

And the reason why Du Lin urged Ye Zhifa to cultivate was because both Sun Moon and Star Sect and the Bend Flower Sword Palace had the same sect structure. Besides the main peak, there were six other secondary summits, and the people who could participate in the competition were the top disciples of the seven peaks.

On other mountain peaks, maybe the disciples would fight over the position of the main disciple, but there were only one master and one disciple on the Falling Goose Peak, if Ye Zhifa did not go, no one would be able to go.

Du Lin had originally thought that it would still take a few more years before the Frozen Bone Illusory Realm would open, and so he hadn't put too much pressure on Ye Zhifa. But now that the battle between the two sects was imminent, and wanted to force Ye Zhifa to retreat safely from this battle, Du Lin had no choice but to put in some more effort.

Thus, in this year, besides cultivating his thick Fa Li, Ye Zhifa had also used the rest of his time to train his sword skills and battle skills.

The sword technique Du Lin taught him was much better than the other sword techniques in the Sword Palace, so Ye Zhifa decided to bite off more than he could chew and focused on his sword technique. Under the guidance and personally fed by Du Lin, who had been working tirelessly day and night, Ye Zhifa's sword arts had improved greatly. Only then, could he be considered to have truly attained the battle strength of a Realm of Spiritual Energy.

However, even though Du Lin was anxious, time continued to pass by mercilessly. He felt that Ye Zhifa still had many ways to go, so the day of the competition had already quietly arrived.

Although Du Lin would also go with him, but before leaving, he couldn't help but exhort him a little more.

Du Lin said: "Knowledge, although the Sun Moon and Star Sect and the Sword Palace share the same bloodline, they are different from us, they have inherited many of the Three Flowers Dao Palace's techniques. Compared to our sword techniques, our magic techniques might be slightly more effective, but they have a myriad of variations that are impossible to guard against. Furthermore, there are also illusions and other changes.

"Disciple will remember, but Master, if you did not take me in as your disciple, then wouldn't there be no one left in Falling Goose Peak during the competition between the two sects?"

"If one is missing, they need to find a disciple from the main peak to replace them. In the end, it is seven against seven, and no matter which side they are on, there is no lack of people. If I knew that the Icefrost Illusory Realm opened so early, I might as well have let you stay in the outer court for two more years. It won't be too late for me to take you in after this martial arts competition. "

Ye Zhifa recalled Du Lin's lustful feelings, but he also had his own pride, so he raised his head and said: "The Falling Goose Peak's reputation naturally needs the people from the Falling Goose Peak to protect it. Master, don't worry, disciple will definitely not disappoint you!"

Hearing this, Du Lin felt gratified but also worried, he extended his hand out wanting to pat Ye Zhifa's head, but realized that after entering the sect for more than two years, Ye Zhifa had actually almost grown to the position of his own shoulder, he could not help but laugh and say: "What reputation does not matter, it's more important for him to return safely."

"Master, will this Martial Competition kill anyone?"

Even though Ye Zhifa's determination was strong and he wanted to fight to the death with the other faction's Successor Disciple, he could not help but ask this question.

"The two sects set up a competition to reduce casualties, so there are two sides' Elders watching from the arena, hesitating on whether they should live or die." At this point, Du Lin suddenly laughed sarcastically, as if he remembered something, and said: "Except for life and death, I don't care about other matters, so you should still be more careful."

He didn't know if he could live or die, but what else could he do?

If the fighting arena was so dangerous, then Ye Zhifa could only use all of his methods to win.

While the master and disciple were still talking, a huge flying shuttle suddenly landed outside the entrance of the Cloud Immortal Palace. Following the opening of the small door on the flying shuttle, Huangfu Xuan's annoying old face appeared from inside.

"Junior Du, it's time to go."

Hearing Huangfu Xuan call for them to gather, Ye Zhifa took a last deep breath.

In the distant martial arena, what kind of enemies were waiting for him?
