Chapter 1908: Impressive

Qi Hao had already been trained by the Four Great Fierce Beasts at Broken Soul Mountain, so someone like Mao Yin wasn’t threatening at all.

In half an hour, he pointed his sword at Mao Yin’s Dantian.

Mao Yin’s face turned bright red. How embarrassing, how did he lose?

Qi Hao laughed heartily and turned to leave the stage, but didn’t give Mao Yin any face.

He sat beside Tan Shaoting, "Dad, I can still continue."

Tan Shaoting also laughed, "My son is amazing." He was truly proud.

Qi Hong stood up. "Northern Immortal Emperor, please."

Mao Yin had already stepped down from the stage. Just in time for both of them to go up.

Seeing Qi Hong’s playful expression, Mao Yin almost lost his temper. Really too embarrassing.

Despite not wanting to return to his position, he couldn’t afford to lose face in front of everyone, so he returned stony-faced.

The other Immortal Emperors avoided speaking to him for fear of him getting even angrier; such matters are troublesome.

Qi Hao didn’t care, chatting amiably with his father.

The crowd watched Qi Hong stand on stage, even more excited as the master also stepped onto the platform.

In the eyes of the world, the master was someone with a natural gift for Alchemy. But seeing his green glowing Lifebound Sword showed he was definitely formidable.

Qiu Yinong smiled. "Really quite surprising."

Qi Hong also smiled, "Our family are all Sword Cultivators; my swordsmanship ranks last at home."

"Then if I lose, wouldn’t it be too humiliating?"

Qi Hong shook his head with a smile, "No, the outcome is still undetermined."

When the two began their duel, it was even more engrossing than before. The disciples below couldn’t clearly see the movements above, only the alternating yellow and green lights.

The Immortal Emperors above could see clearly, though.

"Dad, my Second Brother’s swordsmanship hasn’t improved much."

"No one to accompany him. You and Qi Xuan should return to practice with him."

"I will accompany Second Brother later."

Mao Yin was fuming, the Tan Family truly irritable.

Qiu Yinong and his opponent engaged back and forth energetically. Ultimately, it ended in a draw. They both politely said, "Thank you, Northern Immortal Emperor, for yielding."

"I should be thanking Master for sparing me."

The two exchanged pleasantries with smiles, showing far more grace than earlier between Qi Hao and Mao Yin.

After their return, the Five Elements Immortal Emperor smiled, "Didn’t expect Master to also be so skilled in swordsmanship."

"Thank you, Five Elements Immortal Emperor, but I fall quite short compared to Northern Immortal Emperor."

Qiu Yinong laughed heartily, "Master, saying that makes me lose face."

He tried to close the stage but was stopped by Ji Wei. "Immortal Emperor Huai Sheng, how about a try? I am also a Sword Cultivator."

"Alright."

Tan Shaoting went onto the stage, causing the Xuantian Sect disciples to shout excitedly; he was their Sect Master.

Actually, Tan Shaoting seldom met the disciples below, leaving it to Yu Huping to manage.

"Immortal Emperor Huai Sheng, let’s have a proper contest."

"Okay."

Ji Wei’s cultivation was higher than Tan Shaoting’s, being an experienced Immortal Emperor.

Their match was evenly matched, truly captivating.

"Second Brother, Dad’s swordsmanship has significantly improved."

"Indeed, Yongkang and Yongfu have inherited Dad’s skills."

"Yes, those two’s sword skills are impressive." The nephews became more powerful after obtaining Lifebound Swords.

Both of them developed mutual respect, using eighty percent of their skills, showing respect.

"Master, what is Immortal Emperor Huai Sheng’s sword?"

"Divine Punishment Sword."

"Divine Punishment?"

"Yes."

"I remember a legend, mentioning the Divine Punishment Sword. If it’s truly that one, even Great Emperors would have to yield."

Qi Hong shook his head, "That’s just legend, my father’s Lifebound Sword merely shares the name."

"But Immortal Emperor Huai Sheng’s Lifebound Sword is indeed formidable."

The duel lasted a full two hours before stopping, ending in a draw.

East Immortal Emperor Ji Wei was considered the most powerful among the Four Directions Immortal Emperors, yet Xuantian Sect’s Sect Master was unexpectedly formidable.

Returning to their seats, they both acknowledged each other.

The Family Heads beneath had grim expressions, seeing the Xuantian Sect’s prowess — now the dominant force.

Next came the division of interests. Tan Shaoting acquired what he warranted, gaining thirty percent of the North Immortal Emperor Realm’s benefits, five Immortal Crystal Mines, all near Xuantian Sect.

Of course, Ningyuan City and Jingzhou City also fell under Xuantian Sect’s domain.

Xuantian Sect was unquestionably the biggest winner this time.

Some families extended goodwill; Tan Shaoting neither declined nor agreed, leaving room for hope.

Returning took a year.

Chen Rushi led the children and disciples to accept new territories.

Everything went smoothly, no one resisted.

The City Lords of Ningyuan City and Jingzhou City remained in position, merely required to submit Immortal Crystals to Xuantian Sect.

Chen Rushi took the children on a long outing before returning.

While away, they learned three families had already aligned with Xuantian Sect.

Now in the North Immortal Emperor Realm, Xuantian Sect was standing strong.

When Jing Yu and the others returned, they didn’t rush into the Trial Tower, but stayed with family.

They had spent too much time away, besides waiting for the aunt’s childbirth, known to be a little sister, so anticipation was high.

Meng Ya’s three children emerged from secluded cultivation, showing kindness to the newly added little brothers and sisters. Jing Yu offered great goodwill.

The two little girls were incredibly beautiful, bearing some resemblance to Meng Ya. Their personalities also mirrored their mother’s, cheerful and optimistic.

Such traits are endearing. Their cultivation progressed rapidly, already reaching Profound Immortal level.

Meng Ya felt happy seeing the children together joyfully.

"Now, just waiting for the two in your womb."

Qi Wen nodded with a smile, "Yes, just those two left."

Two years until the daughters’ birth, anticipated by the entire Tan Family.

Gu Ersheng emerged from secluded cultivation, facing Heavenly Tribulation.

He gave it his all, feeling great pressure. With daughters to protect later, it was imperative to grow stronger fast.

One day, East Immortal Emperor Ji Wei visited Xuantian Sect.

Tan Shaoting noticed two female cultivators by his side, both with Immortal Monarch level cultivation, surrounded by immortal power, likely to ascend to Immortal Emperor sooner or later.

"Immortal Emperor Huai Sheng, shall we speak privately?"

Tan Shaoting stood up with a smile, a female disciple came forward to entertain the two female immortals.

The two went to the rear mountain. "What does East Immortal Emperor want to discuss?" Why not speaking?

Ji Wei sighed, "Those two are my cousins. They wish to join Xuantian Sect, especially interested in your son."

Tan Shaoting laughed, "I don’t get involved in such matters; only my third son remains without a partner."
