Qi Yu Chen looked furious and released Qi, but then he heard Qi Yun Sheng say, "That's enough! Yu Chen, do what you have to do."
Qi Yu Chen looked upset, but he nodded and recalled his Qi. He was still looking at Lin Feng in a cold way as he said, "Lin Feng, I will show you just who I am!"
Lin Feng ignored him. Then Qi Yun Xiao said, "That girl is Lin Feng's so give her to him. Then make the others go. Yu Chen, get ready to enter the battle stage."
"Roger!"
"Thank you, Master!" said Qi Yu Chen and Lin Feng at the same time. Mu Yun smiled indifferently. Lin Feng had saved her.
Mu Yun and the other Priestesses moved away. Qi Yu Chen was furious though, and he didn't plan on to let them off that easily.
"Next time, you better not cause trouble." said the emperor in purple clothes. That was the competition for the small worlds, there were millions of people watching them. Some extraordinary cultivators were there and Lin Feng surprisingly dared cause trouble. Luckily, Lin Feng was strong, for if he had been weak, he would have died on spot.
Qi Yun Xiao only gave Mu Yun to Lin Feng to give Master Mi face. He had had no choice but give her to Lin Feng because she wasn't a virgin, otherwise Qi Yun Sheng could have her if he wanted.
That confrontation had drawn many people's attention, but it didn't last not for long..
At that moment, a strong cultivator from the Celestial Wen Castle, who oversaw the event, stood up and waved at the crowd. Everybody remained silent and waited for him to talk.
Many people were upset with him. The Celestial Wen Castle had asked Emperor Ni Chen to sit with them. How arrogant was that?!
"Everybody, I don't need to say much because you already know the rules, they're always the same each time around." The strong cultivator from the Celestial Wen Castle turned to Emperor Ni Chen and smiled, "Emperor Ni Chen, shall we start?"
"Don't worry about me. Just do as you wish." said Emperor Ni Chen smiling indifferently. The strong cultivator from the Celestial Wen Castle nodded and said, "The nine great celestial castles will each choose nine people, then a total of eighty-one people will get on the stage."
Instantly, some young people walked towards the battling stages. On the side of the Celestial Qi Castle, Qi Yu Chen and the others ran towards the battle stage. For them, that day was extremely important, it would determine who'd control the small worlds and they might attract Qing Di Mountain's attention, possibly recruiting them.
"Emperor Ni Chen, would you like to preside over the event?" asked the cultivator from Celestial Wen Castle to Emperor Ni Chen. The competition was fair, each person had to fight against every fighter from the eight other celestial castles. From there, the first eighteen cultivators would be selected and the ranking would be made: the first cultivator had eighteen points, the second one seventeen, …, the eighteenth would have one point. In the end, the three groups which had the most points gained control over the small worlds for the next ten thousand years.
They only took eighteen people because they wanted to consider the strongest cultivators only.
At that moment, everybody was thinking that Emperor Ni Chen's disciple, Wen Ao Feng, would get the eighteen points and finish first. But the others could also get ranked.
"You go." said Emperor Ni Chen to someone next to him. He didn't want to preside over the event. That person nodded and flew to the center.
It didn't matter who did it, those battles were going to be very fair and the ranking would be straightforward.
"Many of those strong young people had been practicing cultivation a little bit everywhere. Some of them even went to the small worlds. I wonder how strong they've become." thought the crowd.
Lin Feng looked at them. Back then, in the small world, he had participated in a few competitions. This time Lin Feng could only watch.
It was a good opportunity for him to see how strong the cultivators were. Most of them were cultivators of the eighth or ninth Zun Qi layer. Cultivators of the seventh Zun Qi layer were common.
After a short time, the battle started. The first battle was between the Celestial Wen Castle and the Celestial Qi Castle. Even though they could surrender as they wished, none of them were willing to.
Finally, the one from the Celestial Wen Castle won the battle, but he was injured.
"They're both cultivators of the eighth Zun Qi layer, but they can easily defeat cultivators of the ninth Zun Qi layer." thought Lin Feng. The nine young people who had been chosen by their respective celestial castles were amazingly strong.
Of course, if those two cultivators wanted to finish in the top eighteen, it'd be difficult. Those Lin Feng had seen in the small world, such as Zhou Tian Ruo, Gu Li, and Qiao Chi Feng were much stronger than those two.
The second battle was Zhou Tian Ruo against a cultivator of the ninth Zun Qi layer. Zhou Tian Ruo released golden holy Qi which lacerated the sky. As expected, Zhou Tian Ruo had become stronger since the last time Lin Feng had seen him.
As the battles went on, the crowd grew more and more surprised.
Each one had to fight against all the cultivators from all the other groups, which meant that if they didn't die, each person had to fight seventy-three times. Therefore, the battles were going to last a while.
Lin Feng observed the battles very seriously. Many of the people who were fighting weren't as strong as the geniuses from Ba Huang. After all, the strongest geniuses of Ba Huang Province were rare birds. If the strong geniuses from the Ba Huang Province fought on the battle stage, they would have probably amazed a lot of people.
Of course, amongst those fighters, there were also people who were talented, such as Wen Ao Feng. He had fought against a cultivator of the ninth Zun Qi layer, and when their fists collided, his enemy had been crushed to death. That cultivator was from the Celestial Si Kong Castle. Although it upset them to lose their fighter, they couldn't do much about it.
More than a hundred battles took place and it then grew dark outside. The strong cultivator from the Celestial Wen Castle looked at Emperor Ni Chen and said, "Master, should we have a rest? The battles can continue tomorrow."
"Alright." said Emperor Ni Chen nodding. Even though darkness didn't affect cultivators, having a rest was a good opportunity for the young cultivators from Qing Di Mountain and the nine great celestial castles to make friends.
Then the strong cultivator from the Celestial Wen Castle nodded and interrupted the battles.
