Chapter 493: Chapter 492: Appearance of Heaven’s Court_1

As a sword spirit that attained sentience, Mingtai’s swordsmanship talent is enough to rival Lu Yang. In the initial stage golden core group competition, he was invincible. Only the genius cultivators from the Immortal Sect who were suspected of starting over after disbanding their cultivation put him in hard fights.

However, even these geniuses were defeated by his exquisite swordsmanship. Despite his relatively low cultivation level, he gradually developed the ability to overcome all kinds of techniques with a single sword strike!

Mingtai was the winner in the initial stage golden core group.

Mingtai stood on the battle stage, his hands were level with his chest, shyly waving his little hands at Elder Sikong.

In the sunlight, Mingtai’s figure sparkled brilliantly, like it was made of gold.

“Seeing Mingtai is like seeing a shadow of Lu Yang.” Meng Jingzhou sighed, his eyes glistening with unshed tears, reliving the past times, feeling deeply sentimental. It’s evident that he had a profound friendship with Lu Yang.

“It’s such a shame, Lu Yang was such a good man, why did he have to…”

The words stuck in Meng Jingzhou’s throat, and he wept.

Bai Ming: “…”

He kindly asked, “Shall I go on stage for you while you cry?”

The mid-stage golden core competition had already begun, and Meng Jingzhou was the first to compete.

Meng Jingzhou wiped his tears, his expression firm, “No need, Lu Yang can’t compete, I have to inherit Lu Yang’s will and move forward bravely. I believe that’s what he would want too if he were here.”

With those words, Meng Jingzhou stepped onto the stage, each step heavy, as if he was carrying a great mission.

From the spectators’ stand, Lu Yang contemplated if he could abuse his power to rule that this grandson Meng lost the match.

“Seek Dao Sect, Meng Jingzhou.”

“Seduction Sect, Ye Mengyin.”

Meng Jingzhou’s opponent was a true disciple of the Seduction Sect, one of the superior sects, Ye Mengyin.

Ye Mengyin was in a clean, elegant long dress, her skin crystal clear as snow, her demeanour celestial. In the outside world, she was a fairy pursued by countless people.

Her charm ability was outstanding among her peers, a single frown or smile could elicit the deepest desire in any man. Even a woman, if not firmly grounded, could be charmed by her.

Ye Mengyin’s voice was enchanting, her self-introduction seemed capable of melting hearts.

“Kind senior brother, please be gentle. Your servant girl can’t withstand such power.”

Ye Mengyin looked pitifully at Meng Jingzhou, subtly working her charm. In past city and state level competitions, just uttering these words would throw her opponents into confusion, causing them to surrender voluntarily.

“Why don’t you forfeit? I don’t discriminate between men and women when I fight.” Meng Jingzhou looked at Ye Mengyin with a big smile, implying that he wouldn’t show mercy whether it’s men, women, or Lu Yang.

Meng Jingzhou’s eyes were clear, showing no sign of fascination.

Ye Mengyin was taken aback; she had never met a cultivator of the same realm who was completely unaffected by her charm ability.

Even the geniuses had to devote some energy to resist her charm, unlike Meng Jingzhou who was completely unaffected.

As expected of someone from the Seek Dao Sect, he did have some ability.

Before the final match officially started, she had also wandered around the shopping street, partaking in leisure activities. She had heard Meng Jingzhou’s self-promotion claiming “cultivators should remain single; women are all beautifuly disguised skeletons”.

She didn’t care about this, confident that Meng Jingzhou had yet to meet her.

Cultivators from the Seduction Sect had experiences of bewitching monks to renounce asceticism.

Ye Mengyin took an old zither from her storage ring and gently stroked the strings. The zither music flowed smoothly, like a gentle breeze, making the cultivators below the stage feel intoxicated.

She was a rare sound cultivator.

The harmonious combination of zither music and charm ability, along with the first-grade Desire Burning Golden Pill she condensed, made her invincible among cultivators of the same realm!

Except for Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, Man Gu, Lan Ting, Bai Ming, Yan Tianzhi…

“Shocking Heaven Six Forms!” Meng Jingzhou roared, his voice drowning out the zither music. He took big steps forward, his fist glowing golden, rubbing against the air and sparking flames.

Two single golden elixirs were spinning, causing her charm ability to stop working.

The only threat to him was the zither music, which slowed his steps and hampered his movement. As a body cultivator, he was physically strong. Even Lu Yang wouldn’t dare mess with him head-on.

This level of control was like a drizzle to him and had a negligible effect.

Ye Mengyin never thought that her proud technique would fail on Meng Jingzhou. Before she could react, she saw a fist as large as a sandbag smashing into her face. She fell to the ground with a thud, and even hearing the sound of the impact was painful.

Meng Jingzhou won.

“Little sister, are you okay?” In kindness, Meng Jingzhou pulled up Ye Mengyin. They were opponents during the match and had to hit hard, but after the match, they were cultivators helping each other.

Ye Mengyin looked at Meng Jingzhou with affection. This was the first time she had met such a powerful male cultivator. The male cultivators she had met in the past all bowed down to her, afraid to let her see something else.

Only Meng Jingzhou had no reaction to her.

“When I embarked on my path, I swore by the name of my sect that I would marry the person who defeated me.”

This is terrible…” Meng Jingzhou laughed awkwardly. The luck in love affairs came so suddenly.

Ye Mengyin gently shook her head: “There’s nothing terrible about it. There are rules in our sect that the disciples do not marry disciples from the Seek Dao Sect or members of the Meng family.”

“Master said that marrying these two families could easily cause trouble for the sect.”

Meng Jingzhou: “…”

What does my Meng family have to do with you? Don’t go to the Imperial City to find out. My Meng family has a universally acclaimed reputation. Although it’s not very good, it’s not as bad as the Seek Dao Sect to be lined up with us!

Forget it, don’t think too much, as long as you can win.

With his lucky start, he cheerfully stepped off the battle stage and boasted to Bai Ming and the others.

“Did you see my fight just now? One punch and she was down.”

“Impressive, impressive. I always tread lightly when fighting female cultivators, afraid that if I hit the wrong spot, I’d be mistaken for a scoundrel. It seems I need to learn from Senior Brother Meng.” Bai Ming applauded. He learned a lot from Meng Jingzhou.

In the past, he cared too much about face, which was really unnecessary.

“Well done.” Yan Tianzhi was concise and to the point.

Competitions were held one after another, both Bai Ming and Lan Ting successfully advanced. Their strength was clearly a cut above cultivators of the same level.

“It seems that the final winner of this group will be among the four of us.” Meng Jingzhou said.

“We can’t jump to conclusions so easily.” Bai Ming shook his head, pointing to the cultivator standing on the stage at this moment.

“You saw the competitions in the previous realms as well, there are cultivators who can rival us from the Immortal Sect. The mid-stage golden core group is no different.”

“See the cultivator on the stage? He’s from our Yunzhou. He was very prominent in the Yunzhou competition, showing extraordinary combat talent. He’s quick to adapt, has a solid foundation with no weak points. Even the hardest to cultivate, the spiritual power, isn’t falling behind. His golden core should be a devouring golden core among the first-grade golden cores, able to devour the opponent’s spiritual essence during the fight.”

As the few of them were whispering, a bright laughter rang out from above.

Under countless gazes, a young man dropped from the sky and landed on the battle stage, interrupting the match.

“How can this bustling scene be without our Heaven’s Court?”

A few figures were still standing on the clouds, emitting intimidating auras.
