He sighed inwardly as he peered at the stone pillar next to Xuan Kun where a slender and beautiful figure was standing tall. Her short burgundy hair blowing in the wind gave an indescribable heroic appearance that made countless young women in the world admire and worship her.
She was naturally Chi Jing.
Two of the five grand elders had come today. There was definitely great importance attached to this event.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Chi Jing and sect master Xuan Kun nodded. Then her clear and loud voice could be heard, “No need to be so polite.”
She cast her eyes upon the Wind Pavilion’s side, pausing at Zhou Yuan for a moment before she continued, “Today the Wind Pavilion has opened up the pavilion master selection after many years. I hope you will all do your best and not let people down.”
All the disciples of the Wind Pavilion were very respectful.
Chi Jing flung her sleeve and gathered the Genesis Qi of the universe to form a throne behind her and sect master Xuan Kun. She beckoned and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t expect sect master Xuan Kun to pay attention to the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master selection and to even come in person.”
Sect master Xuan Kun sat down on the throne, saying leisurely, “I had nothing to do, so I came to see the little juniors.”
Chi Jing sneered in her heart when she heard this. This old man most likely came so that he could find an excuse to deny the results of the pavilion master selection when he loses. The Heavenly Spirit Sect had always been after the Wind Pavilion.
“When master was here, sect master Xuan Kunwasn’t as enthusiastic as now,” Chi Jing remarked.
Sect master Xuan Kun smiled. “If supreme sovereign Cang Yuan was around, he would have dominated the world, and everything would be within his control.
“Would I have needed to meddle in anything? Now that the supreme sovereign has left, in order to prevent the Tianyuan Region from becoming a mess, I have no choice but to meddle in other people’s affairs. Otherwise, when the great supreme sovereign returns, how do I explain this to him?”
He suddenly paused and said, “I don’t know if Chi Jing has received any news from the supreme sovereign recently?”
There wasn’t a ripple of emotion on Chi Jin’s face as she answered, “Master appears and disappears unpredictably. He will come back when he comes back.”
Xuan Kun smiled and didn’t say anything else. His abyss-like eyes made it difficult for people to know what he was thinking.
At this moment, following the arrival of two influential figures, Chi Jing and sect master Xuan Kun, the pavilion master selection began with much anticipation.
Countless eyes gathered on Chen Beifeng and Ye Bingling. As for Zhou Yuan, although he was a deputy pavilion master, nobody thought the pavilion master selection would have anything to do with him.
Chen Beifeng really enjoyed the attention. He turned to sneer at Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling and suddenly stomped his feet.
Boom!
The stone pillar cracked around his feet, and his figure shot out, landing heavily on the bluestone platform floating in the middle of the lake. The ferocious force caused countless ripples to spread through the lake.
“Deputy pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion, Chen Beifeng!”
Chen Beifeng’s voice was like a clap of thunder. His eyes locked on Ye Bingling like a blade as he said, “Please enlighten me!”
Ye Bingling’s pretty face was icy cold as her delicate body similarly shout out and landed on the bluestone platform. “Wind Pavilion’s deputy pavilion master, Ye Bingling!”
When these two appeared on the platform in the middle of the lake, the atmosphere suddenly became heated up. Countless eyes curiously studied the two, because in many people’s view, the two on the platform were the most important figures in the pavilion master selection.
Not far away a large number of people gathered. They all belonged to the Forest Pavilion, and in a way, the Forest Pavilion and the Wind Pavilion were close because Chi Jing and the Wood Clan were in some kind of alliance. They had allied to counter the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the Profound Crystal Clan and the White Clan together.
At this moment there were several figures on the Forest Pavilion’s side that were also staring at Chen Beifeng and Ye Bingling.
“Boss, who do you think the position of pavilion master will fall to? If it fell to Chen Beifeng, wouldn’t it be bad for Lady Chi Jing?” said a burly man with a thunderous voice. His saliva sputtered out like snowflakes dancing in the air.
In front of the burly man was a clear-faced young man. The young man stood tall and straight, his robe spotlessly clean. He gave an indescribable sense of cleanliness.
The young man peered down at the water stains forming on his clothes as the burly man spoke. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he forcibly resisted the urge to change his clothes on the spot. He showed a gentle smile and said, “Barbarian, I can hear you speak. You don’t have to be so close to me.”
The burly man, who was called a barbarian, nodded, and as he spoke, he sputtered more drops of saliva on the young man’s shoulder. “Oh, but if Chen Beifeng becomes the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master, won’t our Forest Pavilion have to deal with three pavilions? I’m worried we won’t be able to stand against them.”
The youngster trembled all over.
The burly man finally noticed his sputters and immediately smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, boss. I will help you wipe it.”
He quickly stretched out his huge dark hand to brush the young man’s shoulder.
As the handsome youngster watched the huge dark hand stretch over, veins bulged on his forehead. In the end he couldn’t stand it any longer. He lashed out with a lightning quick kick and sent the burly man flying into the lake before the dark hand could touch his shoulder.
The youngster exploded in anger. “You bastard, I’ve told you ten thousand times to not spit on me when you talk! You want me to die of anger, and then take the pavilion master position, don’t you?!”
Many members of the Forest Pavilion tried to contain themselves but couldn’t help letting out a stifled laugh, because the youngster in front of them was the present pavilion master of the Forest Pavilion, Mu Liu.
Next to Mu Liu, a young maiden in a pale green dress girl giggled undisguisedly. She had beautiful facial features, a slender willow-like waist and an elegant manner.
Her name was Mu Qingyan, the second strongest person in the Forest Pavilion, and the burly man, Jiang Man, was the third strongest.
Everyone of the Forest Pavilion knew that their pavilion master was usually calm and carefree, even in the face of Lu Xiao of the Fire Pavilion. But his only flaw was that he was super clean and couldn’t tolerate the slightest uncleanliness.
Once he was angered, his so-called excellent self-cultivation would be destroyed, and he would stomp around and yell like a shrew.
Mu Qingyan smiled at Mu Liu, whose face had darkened with anger. He was taking out a handkerchief to clean his clothes, and she said, “Then, who do you think will win?”
After cleaning up his clothes, Mu Liu finally restored his usual calmness. He glanced at Chen Beifeng and Ye Bingling on the battlefield, and half a moment later, he frowned and shifted his gaze onto Zhou Yuan, who was in front of the members of the Wind Pavilion.
He pondered for a moment before he said, “I feel that guy is somewhat dangerous.”
Mu Qingyan was taken aback for a moment before her beautiful eyes shifted onto Zhou Yuan, and asked with a ruminative smile, “The Wind Pavilion’s new deputy pavilion master? Isn’t he only at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage? Are you sure your senses aren’t wrong this time?”
She knew that Mu Liu was extremely sensitive to dangerous auras for some reason, but was he really right this time?
“Although that guy looks as gentle as a rabbit—harmless to humans and animals—he exudes a sinister aura. He is certainly the type to act like a pig to eat a tiger. This kind of
person is the most cunning and will never show his true face,” Mu Liu said solemnly.
Then he shrugged. “That’s what my feelings tell me, so I don’t know if there’s anything wrong.
“If I’m not wrong, he will definitely act today, because—”
He looked at the two figures standing face to face on the platform in the center of the lake and let out a sigh.
“Ye Bingling is no match for Chen Beifeng.”
Chapter 816 80%
On the floating square in the middle of the lake, the two figures faced each other amidst countless blazing gazes.
Chen Beifeng looked at Ye Bingling with a sneer on his face. “Ye Bingling, you have no chance of winning today.”
He slowly folded his hands together, and a gush of mighty deep-yellow Genesis Qi rose from his body. The Genesis Qi shot into the sky like a yellow storm. As it howled, an ear-piercing noise rang out, causing everybody’s spirits to quiver.
Grade-seven Genesis Qi, Spirit Confusion Wind Qi.
At the same time, the Genesis Qi formed three Divine Dwelling halos behind him, and they emitted a faint nine-colored light and swallowed up the Genesis Qi of the world.
The moment Chen Beifeng’s Genesis Qi surged, a tyrannical Genesis Qi pressure could be felt spreading out, making many people present stunned for a moment.
Grade-seven Genesis Qi, the advanced Divine Dwelling, and the lower nine Divine Dwellings...if ordinary people were to have any one of them, they would have an advantage over others of the same level. But now Chen Beifeng possessed all three, allowing him to reach the peak of the Divine Dwelling stage. He was able to look down on countless Divine Dwelling experts of the world.
When Chen Beifeng’s Genesis Qi surged and whizzed across the sky, it formed an oppressive pressure. Ye Bingling’s face turned solemn. Snowy-white Genesis Qi gushed from her body and formed layers of wave-like clouds above her head. The temperature between heaven and earth also plummeted.
Grade-seven Genesis Qi, Ocean Netherworld Frosty Qi!
Behind her formed three Divine Dwelling halos exuding nine-colored light.
Regardless of angle, Ye Bingling didn’t seem any weaker than Chen Beifeng.
The gazes of the two collided, and sparks seemed to sputter out.
Buzz!
With a cold sneer on his face, Chen Beifeng made the first move. His fingers flicked repeatedly, and the void rippled. In the sky, thousands of yellow wind blades formed and tore through the air in Ye Bingling’s direction.
The Genesis Qi clouds above Ye Bingling’s head pulsed, then fiercely erupted with countless snowflakes. Each snowflake, containing the coldest qi of the world, collided with one of the thousand wind blades.
Bang!
The two powerful Genesis Qi collided, causing a deep rumbling noise to erupt, and the air quaked constantly. The wind blades and snowflakes constantly destroyed one another.
Swoosh!
While the wind blades and snowflakes were colliding, Chen Beifeng’s figure turned into a blurry silhouette and shot out. He grasped at the air, and mighty Genesis Qi gathered in his palm and transformed into a tremendous dark-yellow blade of wind.
The wind blade was entwined with high-speed rotating wind that could tear apart the void wherever it passed.
Chen Beifeng’s figure appeared above Ye Bingling like a ghost, and he ruthlessly swung down the huge wind blade in his hand.
“The Great Spirit Confusion Wind Blade!”
As the wind blade slashed downward, it emitted shrill sound waves that interfered with the Spirit. Once struck by the sound waves, the Spirit would fall into a slight trance, and the blade would split its prey into two.
However, as Chen Beifeng’s old opponent, Ye Bingling was well aware of his methods. The Genesis Qi within her body surged to block the sound waves. Then, she stomped her foot on the ground, and a wall of ice formed from icy Genesis Qi suddenly rose in front of her.
Clang!
The huge wind blade slashed the ice wall, causing a loud rumble. Shock waves raged everywhere, and numerous cracks spread across the ice wall. It shattered into countless fragments.
Swoosh!
Ye Bingling’s slender figure shot out. She stepped on some ice fragments, and an ice spear emerged in her beautiful hand. Then, she transformed into a shadow wrapped in majestic Genesis Qi, and charged towards Chen Beifeng.
As the spear shadow whizzed forth, countless Genesis Qi stars glistened. They likely numbered over tens of millions. Such power was definitely frightening.
“Hmph.”
Upon seeing this, Chen Beifeng coldly snorted. He tightened his grip around the wind blade and swung out thousands of blade light. As majestic Genesis Qi whizzed forward, a similar amount of countless Genesis Qi stars lit up. The spectacle was in no way inferior to Ye Bingling’s.
Clang!
The two figures crisscrossed constantly in midair like ghosts. In just over a dozen breaths, they had already fought hundreds of rounds. The fierce battle set off waves and storms of Genesis Qi, causing countless gasps of astonishment.
Zhou Yuan watched the two figures clash constantly in midair with utmost attention. From his view, Ye Bingling’s and Chen Beifeng’s Genesis Qi foundations were both at least 13 million Genesis Qi stars, but Chen Beifeng’s seemed slightly stronger. No matter what, it was indeed more powerful than his current 11 million.
However, Chen Beifeng was most likely still holding back his strength.
Was this the strength of a deputy pavilion master? It definitely could not be compared to the commanders like Jin Teng.
“Zhou Yuan, can senior sister Ye win?” Yi Qiushui asked nervously.
Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment before he answered, “From the looks of it, they are similar in strength. It will depend on how well they have refined the wind spirit rune to determine who is victorious.”
Yi Qiushui flushed with excitement and exclaimed, “In the past month, senior sister Ye,, has completed 70% of the wind spirit rune with the help of your Mother Wind Rune, and she will certainly be stronger than Chen Beifeng!”
It should be said that in the past year or so, both Ye Bingling and Chen Beifeng had only managed to increase the wind spirit rune to 50% of completion, but now Ye Bingling had progressed by another 20% in one month. This speed no doubt surpassed Chen Beifeng’s.
However, Zhou Yuan wasn’t as optimistic as her and just stared at Chen Beifeng’s figure. Ye Bingling’s improvement that month was indeed great, but he knew that Chen Beifeng wouldn’t have come unprepared.
While the two were discussing, the fierce battle on the battlefield suddenly changed.
An azure light bloomed on the back of Ye Bingling’s hand, and a nearly completed wind spirit rune gradually emerged. Evidently, she also understood that without the power of the wind spirit rune, she wouldn’t be able to defeat Chen Beifeng that day.
Following the appearance of the wind spirit rune, the Genesis Qi that broke out from Ye Bingling’s body soared at an astonishing speed.
In just a few seconds, her Genesis Qi foundation climbed to more than 14 million stars!
And Ye Bingling’s changes drew astonished exclamations from the audience.
“High-grade Heaven Genesis technique, Heavenly Lotus Ice Jade Palm!”
Ye Bingling’s speed had also skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye she appeared in front of Chen Beifeng as though she had teleported. She thrust her beautiful palm forward, and majestic icy Genesis Qi rapidly gathered to form a white jade palm hundreds of feet tall.
In the palm of the hand was a lotus flower rune exuding mysterious power.
At this moment, Ye Bingling’s expression was solemn. The white jade palm aggressively slammed down toward Chen Beifeng.
Ye Bingling’s palm, which could be said to have been brewing for a long time, contained astonishing power.
A terrifying cold air shrouded the area, and Chen Beifeng, watching Ye Bingling’s full-strength attack approach, curved the corne
rs of his lips in a strange arc.
“Ye Bingling, is this all your power? A 70% completed wind spirit rune isn’t bad.
“But, do you really think I have only completed 50% of the wind spirit rune?”
At his words Ye Bingling’s expression changed uncontrollably, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in her heart, but the force of her palm strike was even fiercer.
Chen Beifeng paid no attention to the icy palm that shrouded him, and said, “I didn’t want to expose it before, because once exposed, I was worried that the pavilion master selection wouldn’t go ahead. But now, I don’t have such worries anymore.”
On the back of his hand, an azure light was emerging.
At the same time, multiple specks of azure light flashed within the flesh and blood of the arm. These light specks rapidly gathered on the back of his hand, and an incomplete light rune began to grow brighter and brighter.
The wind spirit rune was rapidly being completed.
50%, 60%,...70%!
In the blink of an eye, the wind spirit rune was 70% complete, the same as Ye Bingling’s. And what was even more shocking was that light specks were constantly gathering, all of which were Genesis marks of the wind spirit rune. They had originally been sealed within Chen Beifeng’s body.
As more and more specks of Genesis marks gathered, the wind spirit rune on the back of Chen Beifeng’s hand reached 80% completion!
Gasp!
Between heaven and the earth, there were countless gasps of astonishment. No one thought that Chen Beifeng could conceal his strength so well!
His wind spirit rune had reached 80% completion!
At the same time, his Genesis Qi foundation also began to skyrocket.
His Genesis Qi illuminated the void behind him, revealing countless Genesis Qi stars. At a glance, there was at least a terrifying number of 15 million!
It was clear that Chen Beifeng was finally revealing his strength completely and unreservedly.
