I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

As the old man announced the start of the ranking challenge, everyone's expectations were raised to the maximum, and they were looking forward to Junzijian challenging Shen Xuanli.

Unexpectedly, the male cultivator who was temporarily ranked second was the first to stand up.

"Xi Ran of the Tianyu Sect challenges Jun Zijian, the chief disciple of the Wuliang Sect!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Not only were the disciples in the spectator seats stunned, but even the old man next to them was stunned.

The second-placed student challenged the tenth-placed student? What kind of serious disciple would challenge someone like that? Is this a joke?

According to the ranking challenge rules before the Spirit Division Group, disciples with lower rankings can challenge disciples with higher rankings.

Since there is no need to eliminate anyone in the Spirit Severing Stage, the rules were changed to a one-day competition with no limit on the number of challenges. There is indeed no rule that disciples ranked higher cannot challenge disciples ranked lower.

But the second place challenged the tenth place, isn't that a serious illness?

Xi Ran is the first disciple of the Grand Elder of Tianyu Sect. He is already very famous among the disciples of the Immortal Sect. Now he is even more famous and has an additional label of "not very smart".

Ye Qingning was also surprised. If Xi Ran was not stupid, he would not challenge the tenth-ranked Junzijian. Once he lost, what was the point of going from second to tenth? There must be a reason behind it.

The next second, Si Qian whispered to Si Nan, "Don't worry, sister. Xi Ran is definitely no match for Jun Zijian! These two have been enemies for a long time, and I don't know how many rounds they'll have. I'm still looking forward to seeing the showdown between Senior Brother and Jun Zijian!"

Bai Wei was curious and asked curiously, "Senior Sister said that they have been feuding for a long time. What does that mean?"

Si Qian glanced at Si Nan, thinking it was no secret, and said, "It is said that the two of them had previously discovered a sacred beast cub in the secret realm."

"Although Xi Ran discovered the sacred beast cub first, he took the initiative to form a contract with the Gentleman Sword who appeared later."

"It was because of this incident that the two became enemies. Xi Ran said that Jun Zijian stole his sacred beast cub, and Jun Jian said that the cub had no connection with Xi Ran. The two of them fought in the secret realm at that time."

"Now that we've met in the qualifying round, Xi Ran will naturally look for an opportunity to challenge Jun Zijian. This isn't a question of ranking anymore; he simply wants a fight."

Ye Qingning understood what he had just seen, but unfortunately things did not go as he wished. After a fierce fight, the winner was Jun Zijian.

For the first time in the history of ranking, the second place failed in the challenge and replaced the tenth place.

But after Xi Ran took the lead, the challenge suddenly became a mess.

The other disciples followed suit, not caring what place they were in. They would just challenge anyone they disliked and have a good fight first before doing anything else.

The third place challenges the sixth place, the sixth place challenges the eighth place, and the eighth place challenges the tenth place. The grudges and grievances are quite complicated.

This also made all the disciples exclaim, "They've gone crazy!" They were all crazy. (￣口￣)!!

Only Shen Xuanli had no one challenging him from the beginning of the ranking until dusk. He sat there with an upright posture, like a pine tree on a high mountain, or a forgotten pine tree.

Ye Qingning's evaluation was that there was no grudge or hatred.

Until the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared in the sky and the competition entered its final stage, Junzijian, who was ranked second, finally stood up under the expectant gaze of everyone.

"Wuliang Sect's Gentleman Sword challenges Penglai Sect's Shen Xuanli."

As soon as these words fell, the entire arena was in an uproar, with cheers and shouts shaking the earth.

Even the old man who announced the start of the competition could not hide his excitement.

A majestic and powerful voice echoed throughout the room: "The final challenge of the Spiritual Severing Stage, Wuliang Sect's Chief Disciple Jun Zijian versus Penglai Sect's Chief Disciple Shen Xuanli! The competition begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure swept to the center of the arena like the wind. His white clothes were whiter than snow, and his figure was elegant and upright.

He was holding an ice-blue sword in his hand, and the sword was flashing with a cold light, as if it could freeze everything. As soon as he appeared, the female disciples screamed.

At the same time, another figure rushed out and landed steadily in the center of the arena.

The same white robe, worn by Jun Zijian, made him look less cold and more fierce. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he attracted cheers from many female disciples.

The two men held long swords in their hands and looked at each other. There was a murderous atmosphere in the air.

There were no extra words, the war was about to break out.

Junzijian's eyes focused and he took the lead in attacking. With the blessing of the golden spiritual root, golden light lingered on the sword body, and the sword energy was as sharp as a dragon emerging from the sea, heading straight for Shen Xuanli.

Shen Xuanli swung the sword in his hand, and the ice spiritual power surged out, and the cold air filled the air. As the sword was slashed out, countless ice spikes condensed in an instant and flew towards the Gentleman Sword, flashing with cold light, as if the Milky Way was upside down.

"boom!"

The two forces collided in the air, making a deafening noise, and a powerful air wave spread out in all directions.

In the spectator seats, disciples from various sects held their breath and stared at the stage.

Ye Qingning was sitting in the first row, and even though there was a barrier blocking him, he could still feel a chill at this moment.

A disciple exclaimed, "Shen Xuanli is indeed worthy of being the chief disciple of the first major sect! The power of his swordsmanship and ice spirit root is truly astonishing!"

"I love watching sword cultivators with ice spiritual roots fight the most! Their moves are gorgeous and powerful, and most importantly, they're cool! Unlike sword cultivators with wind spiritual roots, the wind whips around them, not only hurting your face, but you can't even open your eyes!"

"Right, right, right! I hate sword cultivators with wind spiritual roots too! They're not graceful at all when fighting, and it's a terrible sight!"

"But the Gentleman Sword is not bad either! The attack, destructive power, and penetrating power of the Gold Spiritual Root are extremely strong, so it won't necessarily lose!"

……

The disciples were discussing the matter, but the fight on the stage continued without a break.

Ye Qingning stared at the arena intently, as if he was watching a magical blockbuster, and he was completely immersed in it.

The most shocking thing is the special effects brought by the ice spirit root.

The vast spiritual power turned into flying snow all over the sky. The sword energy blended with the wind and snow. The ice-blue sword energy flew in the air and froze the entire arena into ice.

The spiritual power around Gentleman Sword surged like a golden torrent, instantly transforming into a sharp sword energy that swept towards Shen Xuanli.

"boom!"

The two forces collided, causing a deafening roar that shook the entire arena.

With loud bangs, the two forces finally collided, and the ice-blue sword energy completely swallowed up the golden sword energy.

The sword energy dissipated, and Junzijian was seen kneeling on one knee, with the long sword in his hand inserted into the ground, supporting his body.

On the other hand, Shen Xuanli stood with a sword in his hand, his clothes fluttering, like a banished immortal.

Jun Zijian lost, but the sword cultivator's battle-damaged makeup was really beautiful. It was pleasing to the eye even after losing. No wonder a group of female cultivators screamed even after he lost.

But more screams were heard, all calling Shen Xuanli's name.

"Shen Xuanli of Penglai Sect wins! He ranks first! The Spirit Division rankings are over, and all ten disciples have won!"

"The rules for the finals will be announced tonight, and the ultimate showdown will take place at noon the day after tomorrow. Disciples, please be prepared!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the entire arena was instantly boiling with excitement, and many disciples had not yet recovered from the exciting fight.

Si Qian was the most excited of the four. She pulled Ye Qingning and said excitedly, "Junior Sister! Let's go get the spirit stones! I've staked all my spirit stones on Senior Brother to win! We'll all win!"

Although Si Nan thought that the Gentleman Sword was very good, as a disciple of Penglai, it was related to the glory of the sect, so he still hoped that Shen Xuanli could win and bet on Shen Xuanli.

Almost all the Penglai disciples won their bets and earned spirit stones. It felt like the entire sect was collecting benefits.

It was not until the evening that the rules of the final competition were announced in the jade slip and on the bulletin board on the island.

The finals will no longer be divided into groups based on cultivation level.

Except for the Qi Refining Group, the disciples who win the qualifying round must go to the Shenwu Hall and put their spiritual consciousness into the "realm" for the final ultimate showdown.
