Ninth In the World

“Someone is advancing to the Immortal Supremacy Realm?” Yue Wuliang looked at Yaohua Snow Mountain’s Mo Louxue as he said that. Out of the five people that had gone in, Ai Qingbing was undoubtedly the one who could break through to the Immortal Supremacy Realm within a hundred years with the help of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring.

Mo Louxue also got excited. She had taken part in the previous Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit and been the first runner-up back then, so she knew very well what it meant to take the first place. She had been handsomely rewarded even though she had only come in second. Even her master, Immortal Emperor Long Hua, had only managed to break through her bottleneck thanks to what she had obtained in the Demonic Clothing Mountain’s mystic area.

If it was really Qingbing who had managed to attain the Immortal Supremacy Realm, even the Sword Shift Immortal Sect’s disciple wouldn’t be her match no matter how powerful their Sword Dao was.

“Indeed, outside the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring, one of the five of them actually attained the Immortal Supremacy Realm.” Zhou Bujian sighed as he spoke. He knew that his Sword Shift Immortal Sect’s main focus was the Sword Dao, so the person who had broken through was definitely not his son, Zhou Hechen.

“I think it’s probably Fairy Qingbing. She was the first one to become an Immortal King. I didn’t expect her to be the first one to reach the Immortal King Realm too.” Xie Wanling also sighed while speaking.

Xie Cheng had been the last one to become an Immortal King. It was already incredibly fortunate that he had reached the late stage of the Immortal King Realm within a hundred years. It was impossible for him to attain the Immortal Supremacy Realm.

“Ha ha ha ha…” Everyone’s hearts sank when they heard mad laughter coming from afar.

They knew that voice too well. It was the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Black Fire, who had forcefully replaced the Buzhou Immortal Sect at the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit.

Black Fire was an immortal demon beast that was already at the peak of level eight and just a single step away from reaching level nine. No one dared to underestimate him even without Di Jiu backing him up. Why the hell was this bastard laughing crazily now? Could it be…

They stared at each other in disbelief.

‘Did Zhangsun Huang break through to the Immortal Supremacy Realm?’ Although Zhangsun Huang had come to the summit, no one thought highly of him.

If Zhangsun Huang was really so impressive, how could Xie Wanling have replaced him with Xie Cheng as the inheritor of Starry Demon Palace? Xie Wanling wasn’t an idiot after all.

The Thunder Tribulation ended quickly. Four figures came over after the restriction of the Demonic Clothing Mountain was opened.

“They are Fairy Qingbing, Fairy He-er, Xie Cheng, and Zhou Hechen,” said Fang Feilou, the Immortal Emperor who had been invited as a judge.

“Qingbing greets her master and fellow Seniors.” Ai Qingbing, who was the first to arrive at the top of the Demonic Clothing Mountain, immediately bowed and paid her respects to everyone.

Mo Louxue sighed inwardly when she saw Ai Qingbing. She could clearly tell that she was at the eighth stage of the Immortal King Realm, but she was still a little far from the Immortal Supremacy Realm.

Ai Qingbing, Yue He-er, Xie Cheng, and Zhou Hechen also came to pay their respects.

Without asking, everyone’s Spiritual Force scanned the last person to arrive, who was Zhangsun Huang. He was clearly at the first-stage Immortal Supremacy Realm and he hadn’t even stabilized his cultivation yet.

Everyone sighed at the thought that a scrub like him had actually entered the Immortal Supremacy Realm. They were wondering whether they really had to let Zhangsun Huang enter the mystic area first.

“Nephew Zhangsun, congratulations on attaining the Immortal Supremacy Realm.” The Insular Lord of Immortal Wing Island, Gongyang Xi, who was also a judge, laughed and initiated a conversation.

“Thank you so much, Senior.” Zhangsun Huang was also incredibly excited. He knew very well that his mission in the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit was to help Black Fire become a level-nine immortal demon. He hadn’t expected that both the meridians of his Big Brother, which had helped him and the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring expand, would be so powerful.

Yue Wuliang’s face turned a little dark. However, he suppressed his jealousy and said flatly, “The Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit has always been a showdown between disciples who are at the Immortal King Realm. It is against the rules for someone at the Immortal Supremacy Realm to take part in the event.”

“Old fellow, didn’t my Big Brother teach you a memorable lesson last time? You are spouting bullshit.” Black Fire, who became agitated when he heard Yue Wuliang, then said, “The Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit only places a restriction on the participants’ age, but there is no rule stating that only cultivators at a certain realm can enter the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring. When did anyone ever say that someone at the Immortal Supremacy Realm is forbidden to participate? Plus, Little Huang was also an Immortal King like everyone else when he first came. He only broke through after cultivating in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring. Are you suggesting that the cultivation levels of the disciples who went into the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring should deteriorate after a hundred years?”

Yue Wuliang’s face darkened. As one of the top five experts of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent and the Sect Master of one of the Five Major Immortal Sects, he would have torn this beast into shreds for scolding him so disrespectfully under normal circumstances.

However, he actually couldn’t offend Black Fire now. Not only was it a level-eight demon beast, but it also had an extremely heaven-defying Big Brother behind his back.

A man with a tanned face chimed in and said, “Since you’ve entered the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring, you are definitely qualified to participate in the summit. Although it is a little unfair for the other participants that Daoist Zhangsun Huang has entered the Immortal Supremacy Realm, there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone simply benefitted from the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring to a different extent. This in itself is a part of the summit, so it isn’t against the rules.”

Everyone knew the person who was speaking. He was the Guild Master of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s Weapon Association, Ping Ji. Although he was only at the fourth-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, he was the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s only Weapon Emperor. His opinion was always worth its weight in gold. Even the Sect Masters of the five major sects couldn’t object.

Yaohua Snow Mountain’s Sect Master also added, “The Weapon Emperor’s words make sense. In that case, let’s take a break before we carry on with the second round.”

A petite pretty girl walked towards Zhangsun Huang, paid her respects, and said softly, “Congratulations on using this opportunity to attain the Immortal Supremacy Realm, Elder Brother Huang.”

Nothing about this girl could be criticized, be it her movements or her behavior. She also exuded an aura that was as calm as water as she moved around.

Zhangsun Huang chuckled and replied, “I don’t dare accept your congratulations. My Big Brother went through a lot to save my life. I have to keep my lower body under control so that I won’t get poisoned so carelessly once again.”

Yue Wuliang’s pretty face turned pale and she seemed to be tearing up. Even her hands were trembling. Nonetheless, she managed to keep her emotions in check and retreated back to her father Yue Wuliang’s side with her head down.

Everyone had heard Zhangsun Huang, and Yue Wuliang was extremely pissed off. He swore that once he was stronger than Di Jiu, he would kill Di Jiu and everyone related to him first.

He also regretted deep down not sending his most senior disciple, Qing Baishan, to the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit. Who would have thought that this little bastard, Zhangsun Huang, would be alive and even dare to come to the summit?

“Big Brother, congratulations on breaking through to the Immortal Supremacy Realm. As your younger brother, I am truly happy for you.” Xie Cheng actually tried to warm up to him with a big smile on his face.

Zhangsun Huang looked at Xie Cheng coldly and replied, “Xie Cheng, you are happy for me? That’s bullsh*t! If it wasn’t for Uncle An, I would have been killed countless times by your hands. My mother is also being imprisoned by the Xie Family. I’ll kill you with my own hands one day. Screw off.”

Xie Wanling was happy that Xie Cheng had taken the initiative to speak to Zhangsun Huang. No matter what happened, Zhangsun Huang was still his son. As long as he was the first to enter the mystic area of the Demonic Clothing Mountain, he might very well get a chance to break through his bottleneck.

In fact, it was impossible for him to feel no remorse after knowing that Zhangsun Huang had progressed to the Immortal Supremacy Realm. However, no matter how remorseful he was, he couldn’t turn back time. Xie Cheng initiating a peaceful resolution with Zhangsun Huang was exactly what he wanted.

However, he was shocked and angered by Zhangsun Huang’s reply, especially the way he’d addressed them as the ‘Xie Family’ and said that he was going to kill Xie Cheng himself. This little bastard was going overboard.

On the other hand, Mo Louxue was feeling calm. She knew all about Zhangsun Huang’s past. Zhangsun Huang hadn’t managed to break through in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring after merely a hundred years of cultivation because of his own potential. If he was really so talented, why would Xie Wanling overlook that and replace him with Xie Cheng as his inheritor?

The main reason that Zhangsun Huang had changed so drastically was that he was Di Jiu’s follower. Di Jiu was heaven-defying, and so were the people around him. This was a sign of how powerful the secrets he was keeping were.

She looked at her disciple, Ai Qingbing. In terms of potential and appearance, there was hardly anyone in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent that could surpass her.

She had heard that Di Jiu was single. What if she asked Di Jiu to take in Qingbing as his cultivation partner?

Mo Louxue felt a little remorse for not doing that back in the Brilliant Lake Palace. She had even reprimanded her disciple and asked her to stay away from Di Jiu. It now seemed like she had made the wrong move.
