Free Web NovelChapter 1265: Chapter 1167: Here for the Genius
"Why is Chiyou here?"
Yang Tian frowned.
Doesn’t Chiyou have a plot?
His appearance here isn’t to execute the plan to destroy the entire Seven Realms?
Why has he become the chairman of the martial arts tournament?
The surrounding people were abuzz, each speculating which Celestial God might descend upon such a martial arts tournament. It should be known that in the entire Divine Realm, Gemelo Continent is merely a desolate space on the fringes.
Moreover, the South Sea is just a peripheral city in the Tang Song Country of Gemelo.
This kind of martial arts tournament is held once every four years but has never been given much attention, even Tang Song Country is too lazy to send an official representative.
Tang Song Country has dozens of provinces, each holding a martial arts tournament every four years. If every province sends representatives, Tang Song Country would be overwhelmed.
But a Celestial God like Chiyou came?
"Chiyou Celestial God is a significant Celestial God within the Divine Luo Sect!"
"Does his attention to the South Sea’s martial arts tournament mean a genius might emerge this year?"
"In tens of thousands of years, no Celestial God has visited here, but today we’ve encountered one?"
Everyone excitedly discussed.
In the sky, the sun radiated a brilliant blue light, gradually revealing a man floating down from above. It was none other than Chiyou Celestial God.
He slowly landed in the center of the battlefield, emitting sacred light like a divine statue.
Seeing Chiyou Celestial God, everyone instinctively knelt down, filled with reverence and said, "Chiyou Celestial God descends, we feel as if bathed in the spring breeze!"
Even Hua Tiandu, Lin Zhenbang, and Li Yu stood respectfully on either side. When Chiyou Celestial God descended to the center, they respectfully said, "We await the arrival of Chiyou Celestial God!"
Chiyou stood over two meters tall, towering above the crowd like a crane among chickens.
He glanced around and spoke, "Your martial arts tournament has drawn the attention of the Divine Luo Sect. I personally come to supervise because a genius has attracted me. This martial arts tournament’s champion will be a once-in-a-century genius for the Divine Luo Sect!"
"Indeed, he came for a genius!"
Everyone was filled with excitement.
It’s unbelievable that a genius exists in such a far-flung city.
And it’s Chiyou himself who’s come.
Whoever becomes the champion will soar high, and in a day’s leap, transform into an Imperial Dragon!
"We wholeheartedly serve Chiyou, identifying this genius!"
Hua Tiandu, Lin Zhenbang, and others respectfully said.
"Let the martial arts tournament begin."
Chiyou said indifferently.
With the order given, everyone headed to the surrounding rings. The next event was a ten-day preliminary competition, with close to twenty thousand participants from all cities in the Southern Province competing, ultimately selecting two thousand martial artists for the final round.
Except, this preliminary competition seemed redundant for the organizers, Yihua Palace and the Celestial Dragon Association.
Yihua Palace and the Celestial Dragon Association each fielded over three hundred martial artists, who would directly enter the finals.
Yang Tian walked out from the crowd, intending to rest thoroughly for the finals. However, he didn’t notice that Chiyou was coldly staring at his departing figure from the host platform, only retracting his gaze when Yang Tian disappeared from the battlefield, then looked at Li Min behind Lin Zhenbang: "Li Min, follow me."
"Ah!"
Everyone’s face changed dramatically.
"What’s happening? Chiyou Celestial God actually identifies Li Min by name?"
The martial artists on the host platform represented their regions, some were sect leaders of various cities, and some were clan leaders of various families. Essentially, those able to stand on the host platform and become the supervisory group for this martial arts tournament were major figures from the Southern Province.
Seeing Chiyou engaging directly with Li Min, everyone speculated about Li Min’s identity.
Lin Zhenbang was greatly shaken. He’d heard rumors that Li Min had already cultivated the Chiyou Divine Technique. He excitedly approached: "Master, may I ask what orders do you have for Min? Min is my most promising daughter, as long as you speak, I will see to it that she fulfills any request!"
Chiyou nodded, saying, "Lin Zhenbang, I’ve heard about your matters, here is a Command Jade, bestowed upon you!"
With a wave of Chiyou’s hand, a Command Jade flew towards Lin Zhenbang.
Lin Zhenbang reached out to catch the Command Jade, using his Divine Sense to probe, discovering it contained Cultivation Techniques and Divine Martial Arts.
He knelt on the ground with a resounding thump: "Thank you, Master, for the reward!"
Chiyou no longer paid attention to Lin Zhenbang, instead taking Li Min and flying off the battlefield.
As the pair left, Lin Zhenbang stood up, head held high, casting a sidelong glance at Hua Tiandu not far off, his eyes filled with pride.
"Lin, who would have thought your youngest daughter was chosen by Chiyou Celestial God!"
"So, your youngest daughter is the genius Chiyou Celestial God seeks?"
"Then your Celestial Dragon Association will have command of the wind and rain at the martial arts tournament. Lin, congratulations!"
Everyone around came forward to congratulate Lin Zhenbang.
Lin Zhenbang inflated with pride, only Hua Tiandu coldly snorted, flicking his sleeve and leaving. However, he’s aware that Chiyou’s arrival might determine the tournament’s direction, initially planning to use Yang Tian against Li Min, but now it seems Yang Tian can’t create much of a stir.
At this moment, far off on the mountain peak.
Chiyou gazed down at the entire South Sea, asking coldly, "I want you to kill Yang Tian, have you not succeeded?"
"Reporting to Master, Yang Tian is very cunning, and the Divine Technique he cultivates is extremely mysterious. I couldn’t succeed in a short time."
Li Min quickly replied.
She cautiously observed Chiyou’s expression, fearing he’d become angry, but instead, Chiyou seemed unexpectedly calm: "You are correct, this Yang Tian is indeed mysterious. A few days ago, I sensed Nuwa’s presence! Nuwa must have come here; if I’m not mistaken, this Yang Tian is likely aligned with Nuwa!"
"Nuwa?"
Li Min was startled.
She remembered Yang Tian had cultivated the Nuwa Divine Technique. Could it be that Yang Tian has become Nuwa’s disciple?
"This Yang Tian knows too much. If I’m correct, Nuwa must have noticed, Li Min, I need you to kill Yang Tian during the martial arts tournament. The Divine Luo Sect will soon pay attention to me, forcing a delay in my plans. During this period, do everything openly."
Chiyou commanded.
Li Min wasn’t foolish and understood Chiyou’s intention. The Divine Luo Sect must have noticed, meaning to kill Yang Tian, it could only happen during the tournament.
"Please rest assured, Master, I will kill Yang Tian during the martial arts tournament!"
Li Min replied respectfully.
