Chapter 37
🕑 Added 2022-09-24 18:33:21 +0000 UTCAs Ji Xian silently observe the battle between Yue Li and Luo Guangting in a daze, countless simulations were taking place in his mind.
The quality of their True Essence, the path it takes as it course through their body, the execution of their Divine Arts, and the way their muscles contract. The more Ji Xian observes the more information he obtains.
Although his main focus was on Yue Li, he did not neglect Lou Guangting.
Inside his mind, a figure sat crossed-legged in a large grey space. This figure has the same appearance as Ji Xian and a crescent moon silently floats behind him.
Suddenly, a frown appeared on his face, and the crescent moon behind him cracked and split into two before shattering into pieces, the figure also experienced a backlash and exploded into thousands of small particles.
The particles were spread out and floated in the air. Immediately after, the particles flew and combined into one, becoming a formless glob. It quickly molded itself and before long a familiar figure can be seen once again. It process happened within milliseconds!
“That wasn’t right..”
“What if I do this...”
Shortly after, the figure exploded once more before reforming once again.
Ji Xian went through this process countless times inside his mind before finally succeeding in copying the Divine Art that doesn’t require the cultivation method, but he wasn’t satisfied. Ji Xian didn’t just want a copy.
He continued the simulations using his vast knowledge to create something that belongs to him.
Finally, as the battle between Yue Li and Luo Guangting comes to an end, a smile appeared on Ji Xian’s face as the light in his eyes fades away.
The battle between the two Chosen ended with Luo Guangting’s victory. It was a close match with Luo Guangting only winning due to his decisiveness.
The disciples of the Blue Moon Sect rushed forward and carried Yue Li away while Luo Guangting limped off the platform.
The next battle is the Grand Sword Sect versus Veil Shadow Sect.
Just like before, the two Chosen of both Sects allowed their juniors to fight first before they participated.
The Chosen of the Grand Sword Sect was domineering and sharp while the Chosen of the Veil Shadow Sect was mysterious.
Shockingly, the winner wasn’t the previous winner of the All Desolate Competition, the Grand Sword Sect, but it was the Veil Shadow Sect!
The audience in the colosseum erupted in an uproar but the Elders of the Sects were still calm.
Beast Call Sect versus Serene Yang Sect…
Dreamless Sect versus Ardent Yin Sect…
Score Note Sect versus Arcane Mountain…
Ji Xian watched all the matches while next to him, Xia Lihua was blankly looking up towards the sky, completely zoned out. These fights no longer interest her in the slightest. She didn’t find their cultivation and Divine Arts to be anything special. The Mortal Haven World has its own sects that share similarities to the top ten Sects in the Mortal Desolate World.
Ji Xian also shares the same thought but through his eyes, he can see the intricate differences. His interest in the Arcane Mountain also has increased after watching their match against Score Note Sect.
"Those twin girls... there's something weird about their physique. How envious, what a shame that's not something I can simulate."
Only one of the twins fought and she easily overwhelmed her opponent. It was obvious she was still holding back.
All the Sects have their specialty, for example, the Beast Call Sect tame beasts and use them in battles. All of their disciples cultivate the same way. The Arcane Mountain, however, each of their disciples has different things they specialized in.
And the quality of their Cultivation Method and Divine Art wasn't low either.
If he can get into their library, this entire trip would be worth it.
With this thought, Ji Xian couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Yueyin.
Xiao Yueyin sensed his gaze and returned it. She glared at him with narrowed eyes in a threatening manner before swiftly looking away, causing the confused Guo Xinyi to look at her.
"..."
As the sky brightened, the competition continued.
Ji Xian has also lost interest now that there was nothing left for him to see. He pulled out the book written by Empress Han Lan and just as he was about to read it
“Hm?”
Slowly standing up, he looked in a certain direction with an interesting expression.
“Lihua.”
Xia Lihua snapped out of her daze and looked at Ji Xian. From his reaction, she can see that something had happened.
She instinctively released her spiritual sense and spread it as far as possible. It covered the entire Solitude City and went beyond it, but she was unable to find anything.
She frowned before closing her eyes and concentrating on her spiritual sense. With another scan, she was just barely able to sense something over several hundred kilometers northwest of the island.
She stood up and nodded at Ji Xian.
Surprisingly, Xiao Yueyin was also looking in the same direction with an unsure expression.
She looked at Ji Xian and Xia Lihua who were leaving the colosseum, she hesitated but decided to follow them leaving Guo Xinyi puzzled.
As Ji Xian and Xia Lihua exited the colosseum, they vanished. Xiao Yueyin followed afterward and could only look at the sky with wide eyes.
“So fast! How did they pass through the island’s formation!?”
“Xia Lihua is one thing but that man as well... Just who is he?”
There was a golden dome that covered the entire island. It’s a formation created by a well-known Formation Master in the Mortal Desolate World, used for protection from sea monsters. It had held strong for a hundred years and even experts in the Holy realm wouldn’t be able to destroy it immediately.
Xiao Yueyin wondered how they did it.
She looked towards the Northwest and remembered that odd feeling from earlier.
Are they headed there?
Looking behind her, Xiao Yueyin sent Guo Xinyi a message before heading for the city gate. She isn’t able to fly through the formation so she has to leave the island first.
At this time, Ji Xian and Xia Lihua were flying side by side. Xia Lihua glanced back in the direction of Solitude City and said, “She was able to sense it.”
Ji Xian nodded and said, “It’s because of her bloodline.”
Xia Lihua’s eyes lit up, “Space…”
