Yi Tianyun didn’t need to rest, but he was waiting for Xiao Murong to rest for a while. After a while, Yi Tianyun noticed that Xiao Murong’s complexion was slowly getting better. If it weren’t for what Yi Tianyun did earlier, Xiao Murong would have already been blown off of the mountain, and she would definitely be vulnerable by then.
“Brother Tianyun! Thanks for waiting for me!” Xiao Murong slowly said as she opened her eyes after she was done meditating.
“Well, if you call me brother, then it is my duty to help you when you’re in need!” Yi Tianyun said casually. “You too should know your own limit, just slow down, nobody here would mess with us anyway.” Yi Tianyun said with a sigh. After all, they just had to reach the destination before the time limit. It didn’t matter whether they arrived early or barely in the nick of time as they would qualify as long as they weren’t late
“I know that, but …” Xiao Murong said as she was embarrassed by her recklessness. Yi Tianyun was a little bit surprised as Xiao Murong seemed rather meek. It was unusual as she has always had an explosive personality. Still, Yi Tianyun knew that Xiao Murong’s favorability towards him rose quite high after he saved her from falling. It wasn’t at maximum, but it was considered high enough.
“How’s your body? Did you still feel something off?” Yi Tianyun asked with a smile on his face.
“No, I think I’m alright right now.” Xiao Murong said as she stretched her body, ready to go. She was confident that she would be able to reach the top now, but she knew that she had to be careful as she didn’t want such an embarrassing moment to happen again.
Yi Tianyun and Xiao Murong continued climbing up the mountain, but Yuan Tianyou was still frozen in place at the foot of the mountain as his hope of saving Xiao Murong had gone through the drain.
“Damn it, that guy foiled my plan again!” Yuan Tianyou said as he was furious at Yi Tianyun. He had already prepared and wasted his time waiting for Xiao Murong to fall, but Yi Tianyun took her away from Yuan Tianyou again!
“His strength is really unbelievable!” Sikong Ma said as he shook his head. He considered Yi Tianyun as a dangerous man and would definitely avoid fighting against Yi Tianyun at all costs! Sikong Ma just shook his head and led the rest of his group to climb the mountain.
Meanwhile, Xiao Murong and Yi Tianyun finally reached the top. With her vitality back to normal, it wasn’t hard for her to climb the rest of the mountain. If she wasn’t poisoned in the first place, she definitely could climb the mountain without any rest!
For Yi Tianyun himself, this Divine Wind Valley wasn’t difficult at all. It was just like a windy walk in the park for him. This mountain only tested the participant’s lower body stability, which was also one of the strong points of a cultivation technique.
Flying was surely off the table here as there was no way anyone could stabilise themselves in the air with all the wind!
“We reach the top successfully! If my Star Power wasn’t restored back there, it might turn ugly! Again, thank you very much for saving me back then, Brother Yi!” Xiao Murong said gratefully. But Yi Tianyun could see that she felt disappointed in herself.
“Well, it doesn’t matter now. But take a look over there, it seems they would see us up close and personal next!” Yi Tianyun said as he pointed to a huge fighting arena not too far from them. It was a circular arena that circled around a large ring where the cultivator should fight.
There was a passage that led to the arena itself from their position, and there were a lot of guards standing by around the side of the arena. Then Yi Tianyun saw the name of this place. It was written “the God Fighting Field” This was also the finish line for the first part of God Domain’s War of Ascension!
“Well, it seems we reach the finish line!” Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face. “Let’s go in!” Yi Tianyun said as he walked towards the God Fighting Field!
Xiao Murong nodded and followed Yi Tianyun from behind. Her eyes were full of excitement as she was finally able to observe other geniuses from the other God Domains! After all, those cultivators should be pretty strong as they were capable of completing the first part of War of Ascension!
Yi Tianyun and Xiao Murong walked into the God Fighting Field and stepped into a magnificent long corridor before finding themselves in a vast field! Yi Tianyun looked up and saw many experts sitting in rows of seats and discussing things on their own. Yi Tianyun noticed that almost all of them were at the Heaven Monarch Stage, while some were at the Earth Monarch Stage.
Those people were the Elders of the God Domains who came to observe their respective cultivators. Yi Tianyun looked at the highest point of the observatory seat, where it would be the best observation level, but it was mostly empty! Yi Tianyun knew why these seats were empty, and it was because that was where the 2nd Grade God Domain’s representatives would sit and observe the War of Ascension.
As for who would come from the 2nd Grade God Domain, there was no information about them. They might be the Elders, or the Territory Lord themselves might come to scout talent themselves.
“It’s Yi Tianyun and Xiao Murong! They passed the first stage!” Nian Ciyu said as she finally saw Yi Tianyun and Xiao Murong from her seat. She was very excited as Yi Tianyun was at the top of the leaderboard.
“It seems so! They did really well!” Heavenly Edict Territory Lord said with a proud look on his face. He was worried that Yi Tianyun and Xiao Murong would encounter trouble on the way here, but it seems he was worried for nothing.
As the leaderboard was shown to everyone in the Arena, Yi Tianyun and Xiao Murong obviously saw it too!
“Brother Tianyun! Your name is in the 1st place! Earth Monarch Tian Qing is in the 2nd place. Clearly, he isn’t as powerful as you!” Xiao Murong said excitedly.
“I wouldn’t say that!” Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face. He wasn’t proud at all of his achievement as he didn’t care that much about it. His only goal was to prove that the Human Race wasn’t the weakest race out there. He wanted to prove that the Human Race was a race that was full of untapped potential.
“Rong’er passed magnificently.” A middle-aged man said as he was delighted when he saw Xiao Murong pass the first stage. He was the father of Xiao Murong, Hua Murong!
“Little missy sure would get a good grade, and she never failed to live up to expectations.” The Elder that sat beside Hua Murong said while nodding his head.
“But still, I am very surprised that our little Rong would get very close to a Human boy!” Hua Murong said as he felt surprised that Xiao Murong looked very intimate with Yi Tianyun. He never expected Xiao Murong to get close to a Human Race cultivator at all.
