Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1830 - 1835: The Imperial Sky Tower Competition Begins
"Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll crush the souls and toss them to the dogs."
"Elder Bai, you’re joking? Crushing your own soul?"
Xia Liu felt extremely awkward; Bai Jue’s cold joke was too chilly.
He couldn’t adapt.
"Ahem, I meant crushing the souls of all Tiande Hall cultivators."
Bai Jue continued.
"Alright! This one’s stable."
Xia Liu knew this guy wanted to reassure him.
With his support, he indeed felt more at ease.
"There’s still three days left, I won’t cultivate, going to check out various places in the Hundred Victories Hall."
"Go ahead."
After responding, Bai Jue fell silent.
He was completely reassured about Xia Liu.
If he advanced further, even Golden Core Stage experts might not be able to deal with him.
In the days leading up to the opening of the Imperial Sky Tower,
the atmosphere of the Imperial Sky Gate was extremely intense.
Every Elders Hall was bustling with activity.
Those halls with many disciples even organized battle tournaments.
Only those whose cultivation and talent were top among disciples were qualified to represent the hall in competition.
Interestingly, those halls with many disciples could secure two slots for competition.
Such as the Hundred Victories Hall, which did not.
If it weren’t for Xia Liu’s presence, Bai Xiao wouldn’t even have reported to participate.
Once it was confirmed that Xia Liu was the mysterious figure who severed Sun Kong’s arm,
Bai Xiao had his answer.
Among the three slots to enter the Imperial Sky Tower, Xia Liu was sure to have one.
Boom!
In the morning, a loud crash echoed through the entire Imperial Sky Gate.
Before the Hundred Victories Hall,
everyone had gathered early.
Led by Bai Xiao, Bai Xinzhi with four junior brothers, and Fan Xin stood waiting.
Everyone kept their eyes on a certain direction.
The end of their gaze was the highest peak within the domain of the Hundred Victories Hall.
As time ticked by second by second,
a white gleam appeared in everyone’s view.
"Xia Liu has arrived!"
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
Looking at the crowd, Xia Liu smiled wryly.
"Just in time! Let’s head to the Heaven Choosing Hall!"
Leading the charge, Bai Xiao controlled his sword and flew ahead.
"Junior Brother Xia, I’m counting on you for this Imperial Sky Tower battle!"
"Don’t worry, Senior Brother Bai, I’ll surely secure a slot."
Xia Liu brimmed with confidence.
His talent was extraordinary, and his strength surpassed all disciples.
If Bai Jue assisted him, he could even surpass many elders.
He wasn’t worried about not winning.
His concern was that his talent and cultivation might be entirely exposed.
"Hehe! Brother Xia Liu will definitely win!"
Having seen Xia Liu’s prowess, Fan Xin had long had the answer.
As long as he’s involved, no one could defeat them.
"Then let’s hurry and catch up to the Honored Master; this time, thanks to Junior Brother Xia, we’ll definitely make those who look down on the Hundred Victories Hall gape in astonishment!"
Bai Xinzhi laughed wildly and soared on his sword.
"Let’s go!"
...
The entire Imperial Sky Gate was heading to the Heaven Choosing Hall at this time.
As long as one’s cultivation reached a certain level, they could even attend and witness the genius cultivators’ competition in the Imperial Sky Tower up close.
Those with cultivation below the thirteenth level of Qi Cultivation could only remain outside.
Although they could understand the process, they couldn’t experience the thrill firsthand.
Heaven Choosing Hall, the solemn hall that entry-level disciples must pass through.
At this moment, countless talented disciples were already gathered in the great hall.
Most of the elders of Imperial Sky Gate had come to the scene.
Some solitary elders hadn’t come to participate.
That aside for another time.
The numerous young cultivators at the scene whispered fervently.
In contrast to the buzz inside the hall,
the outside spacious area stood more cultivators.
Some were outer sect disciples, registered disciples,
and inner sect disciples who hadn’t yet reached the cultivation to enter.
Today, their status didn’t matter, standing together.
The discussion was about who would secure the final victory.
"This year, I estimate Tiande Hall has the highest chance of claiming the top spot."
"Oh? Why so?"
"Tiande Hall’s Senior Brother Sun Hao reportedly broke through to Peak Foundation Establishment Early Phase, his strength even comparable to Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage!!"
"Wow! Supreme Pavilion’s Senior Brother Feichang is terrifying too, isn’t he?"
"Senior Brother Feichang? You mean Supreme Pavilion’s Wu Feichang, who killed a Foundation Establishment Early Phase bandit during the sect’s mountain bandit capture task last time?"
"Exactly! Supreme Pavilion’s Senior Brother Feichang is absolutely the prime contender in this competition!"
"Who’s the prime contender isn’t certain yet. Regardless, among the three slots, those two senior brothers will definitely claim one!"
"I agree with that."
"As for the third slot, I think it will either be Senior Brother Haoyu or Senior Brother Lei..."
"Oh! Look everyone, isn’t that Elder Bai from the Hundred Victories Hall?"
"Hundred Victories Hall?"
"No way, is the Hundred Victories Hall participating in the Imperial Sky Tower battle this year?"
"Look! Behind him, that’s Bai Xinzhi from the Hundred Victories Hall!"
...
Seeing Bai Xinzhi and others following Bai Xiao closely with their swords, the many disciples outside the Heaven Choosing Hall suddenly burst into uproar.
They came to watch the Imperial Sky Tower battle every time.
After returning, they would discuss and summarize the experience of every competition.
Regardless of age.
They had heard one thing.
That was the Hundred Victories Hall hadn’t participated in the Imperial Sky Tower battle for many years.
The reason had even become a joke among all halls and even the outer sect of the Imperial Sky Gate.
Because the Hundred Victories Hall, over the course of a millennium, never won a single time.
Never won in a thousand years!
Every single time became a subject of discussion after cultivation.
Mentioning Hundred Victories Hall, every cultivator would carry a smile.
A very common sneer.
Finally, Hundred Victories Hall simply chose not to participate.
"Wow! I never thought I’d see the Hundred Victories Hall participate in the Imperial Sky Tower battle in my lifetime!"
"Haha! Lifetime endorsement!"
"Looks like this year the Hundred Victories Hall will refresh our horizons."
"Yes, the last time Hundred Victories Hall participated was a hundred years ago."
"Haha! Refresh the joke, a bit of anticipation..."
...
In contrast to the casual comments outside the hall,
inside Heaven Choosing Hall, as Bai Xiao and the group entered,
the hall’s atmosphere turned silent.
On the red carpet, only the sound of Bai Xiao and the group’s footsteps echoed.
Clang!
Someone’s sword fell to the ground, producing a crisp sound.
Wow!
Then, the people inside the hall began to chatter.
For the Hundred Victories Hall, which hadn’t participated for over a hundred years, suddenly appearing today,
almost scared them to death.
Especially some cultivators who hadn’t been in the sect for decades.
They had only seen records of the Hundred Victories Hall participating in the Imperial Sky Tower battle.
This year suddenly witnessing the Hundred Victories Hall participate was indeed quite a shock.
"Hey! Isn’t this Elder Bai?"
"What kind of wind blew Elder Bai in this year?"
"Elder Bai bringing disciples to participate in the Imperial Sky Tower battle, aiming to change the record from a millennium of losing to two millennia?"
"Hahaha..."
With a few elders teasing, laughter echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone’s face showed ridicule.
Genuine laughter of contempt.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash!"
Bai Xiao snorted coldly.
