Thirteen experts including Lin Xun, Lu Dubu, and Wu Huang were already standing on the platform, waiting for the next round to commence.

Around the cloud platform were many influential figures from the seven major factions and other forces in Cloud State.

Today, the battle for the top ten would kick off!

Following the deep ringing of bells reverberating through the clouds, the atmosphere turned solemn and quiet.

“In the battle for the top ten, the first stage is to determine the top six candidates. We shall continue to use the method of drawing lots to select your opponents. There will be another lucky draw and one person will receive a bye again this time.”

When Guan Xu, the sect master of Great Void Sect, made the announcement, everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.

This was a fight for the top ten position, but there was still a bye!

Many people darted glances at Jintian Xuanyue, who was dressed entirely in snow-white and looked as pure and beautiful as a fairy.

This peerless genius maiden of the ancient Imperial Jintian Clan was extremely lucky to draw a bye in both draws yesterday. She became one of the thirteen participants competing for the top ten spots without having to face off against any opponent.

Everyone was envious of her.

However, if there was another bye in the competition for the top ten, it was bound to make many unhappy.

A person who got a bye would be hailed as one of the top ten in the Dao Debate of Cloud Stage. Would this be fair to the other competitors?

As though Guan Xu saw through everyone’s thoughts, he calmly explained, “Strength and luck are indispensable in the quest for the great dao. For example, almost all the old geezers here are quasi-Emperors with amazing powers, but why have they not ascended the dao and become Emperors after so many years?”

His voice resounded throughout the audience like a rumble of thunder.

Without waiting for an answer, Guan Xu said directly, “It’s very simple, they lack luck!

“Without great luck, one might stagnate at the Quasi-Emperor Stage for the rest of their life. On the contrary, if us old geezers grasped an ounce of great luck, who would not have a chance of becoming an Emperor?

“That’s the meaning of the lucky draw. This is to remind you all that, in this world, when good luck comes your way, even heaven and earth are on your side. But when you are down on your luck, nothing goes as you want it to be. Luck is far more important than you all think it is!”

Once he said that, everyone fell silent and assumed a serious expression, emotions rippling inside them.

Luck!

For cultivators, this seemingly elusive power was indeed very important and could even change one’s path and destiny!

“Next, you will draw lots to select your opponent. The lucky person will advance directly while the remaining twelve will be matched against an opponent to compete for the top six positions.

“After that, those with a loss will compete again to fight the remaining three spots in the top ten.

“Similarly, the top six will compete until the first, second, and third places are determined.”

Guan Xu announced the rules for Lin Xun and the other participants.

Next, they each came forward to draw lots.

Lin Xun was again the first to step forward, followed by Lu Dubu, Wu Huang, and others.

Lin Xun’s opponent was Su Muhan.

Lu Dubu’s opponent was You Tianxing.

Wu Huang’s opponent was Wang Tu.

Xie Yuhua’s opponent…

Everyone was in an uproar when Jintian Xuanyue once again drew a bye!

Guan Xu, Heng Xiao, Daoist Lan, and other influential figures also exchanged surprised glances with one another. The descendant of the ancient Emperor Bai had such heaven-defying good luck!

Even Jintian Xuanyue looked a little embarrassed. She had got a free pass into the next round three times in a row. It was so unbelievable that she thought she was dreaming.

When did her luck become so good?

“This is not fair. She must have used some sort of technique to see through the box of jade sticks!” You Tianxing protested.

He was dressed in a blue robe and dragon-patterned boots, and he had a slim figure and extraordinary outward appearance, but he looked very unhappy at this moment.

“Any secret technique will be noticed by me right away. Young man, are you suspecting that I helped someone cheat?” Guan Xu questioned.

You Tianxing paled a little as he explained, “I don’t dare to, but this matter is indeed strange. Even if someone has incredible luck, it’s impossible to win three times in a row.”

Clearly, he still suspected Jintian Xuanyue of cheating.

Moreover, many other people were also frowning suspiciously.

“Since you have suspicions, then bring out some evidence,” Jintian Xuanyue uttered coldly, feeling unjust. Who does that guy think I am? Someone who cheats to get into the top ten?!

“I don’t have any evidence, but if you accept my challenge and can last longer than ten minutes then I will believe in your ability and luck. And I will also acknowledge the fact that you are one of the top ten candidates.” You Tianxing drew a deep breath and said decisively, “If not, even if we can’t change the final result, I believe that many other people will still be unconvinced.”

Everyone raised their eyebrows, some agreeing with You Tianxing’s point of view.

Lin Xun sneered to himself. What do you mean unconvinced? You are just jealous of Jintian Xuanyue’s luck.

Unexpectedly, Jintian Xuanyue agreed without hesitation, “Fine, I agree to your request.”

Her expression was calm and indifferent, but there was a coldness in her dewy eyes.

She was getting worried that she would not have a chance to show her strength.

You Tianxing’s provocation had played into her hands!

Seeing this, Guan Xu turned to say to You Tianxing, “In that case, I will permit the two of you to have a duel first. But young man, I would like to remind you that this Little Miss is a descendant of Emperor Bai from ancient times. As early as a few years ago, she was ranked 49th on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings. If you lose, even if you are still unconvinced, no more complaints or excuses.”

His voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction. Clearly, he was unhappy about You Tianxing deliberately creating an issue.

Meanwhile, the audience was filled with amazement.

She was ranked 49th on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings!

This was news to some people. This ranking was so amazing that it would be enough to make someone the center of attention in the entire Great Primordial Chaos World.

“Elder, rest assured. I just want to learn from Miss Xuanyue and see the power of the 49th of theAll Heavens Saint-King Rankings. If I lose, I won’t have any complaints,” You Tianxing said indifferently.

Guan Xu said nothing else and just flicked his sleeve.

Boom!

The ancient battlefield was once again suspended in midair.

Dressed in plain white clothes and with an ancient sword slung across her back, Jintian Xuanyue drifted over onto the battlefield, her silky black hair swaying like a waterfall. She was as graceful and charming as a fairy in a painting.

Since the second round of selections, this was the first time that everyone was able to witness her strength again. She instantly became the center of attention.

You Tianxing landed on the battlefield with a flash and spoke in a deep voice, “Miss Xuanyue, I have no prejudice against you. This duel is just to confirm your ability and see whether you are qualified to be in the top ten. I hope you won’t blame me.”

“Enough nonsense, let’s start.”

Jintian Xuanyue’s voice was ice-cold. In front of Lin Xun, she was gentle and submissive like the daughter of a humble family.

However, at this moment, she was like a female sword immortal with a graceful bearing!

“Then I won’t be polite.” You Tianxing snorted as he launched the first strike.

Shua!

His body transformed. Wisps of hazy starry light emerged around him, shining brightly, and in his hand, a long and narrow blade appeared, shooting beams of light into the sky.

“Cry of Stars!”

As his blade slashed forth, it was as if the sky was falling from above. Thousands of stars flickered and circled around, producing bursts of impassioned cries.

The endless starlight turned into unparalleled sharpness, gathered into the blade and spread outwards!

Many influential figures nodded to themselves. You Tianxing seemed to provoke Jintian Xuanyue out of discontent, but in fact he was not the slightest bit careless during the battle.

For example, he activated his Great Dao Field, Realm of Stars,[1] as soon as the battle started and he showed astonishing power and imposing bearing.

Clang!

At the same time, Jintian Xuanyue also took action. The roar of a sword resounded across the nine heavens as waves of sword light swept the world and turned into White Emperor City!

Suspended between heaven and earth, it was like a majestic divine city that had been standing for eternity!

All of a sudden, the battlefield was flooded with shadows of swords and blades. They repeatedly clashed against each other and set off volcano-like eruptions of blazing light as well as numerous other terrifying scenes.

Everyone’s minds were immediately drawn over to it.

Despite this incredible sight, Lin Xun withdrew his gaze after watching for a moment. He had concluded in his heart that although You Tianxing was outstanding, he definitely was no match for Jintian Xuanyue!

As someone who had seen the White Emperor City Sword Field, he knew better than others how strong Jintian Xuanyue was.

Moreover, compared to when she was on Whirlwind Ship, her cultivation had improved tremendously and had reached the perfect Supreme Saint-King Stage.

Sure enough, the next moment, You Tianxing was overpowered on the battlefield!

Not long after that, he was no longer able to strike back and could only passively defend himself, looking more and more troubled.

These changes drew countless surprised gasps from the audience.

Only then did they realize that Jintian Xuanyue, who got a bye three times in a row, not only had heaven-defying luck, but also incredible strength and combat ability!

If nothing unexpected happened, then You Tianxing was believed to make it into the top ten.

Unfortunately, at this moment, in the duel against Jintian Xuanyue, he was completely overpowered. How would the audience not be surprised?

Some bigwigs sighed to themselves. Jintian Xuanyue is indeed worthy of being a descendant of Emperor Bai. One day, she...very likely will become a dazzling female Sword Emperor of the starry sky!

Clang!

Before long, a deafening clang stung everyone’s ears.

You Tianxing’s sharp sword flew out of his grip, buzzing and wailing, while he propelled across the air like a broken kite.

Bang!

When he smashed to the ground, he couldn’t help but cough up blood. His handsome face was ashen and contorted with shock and horror.

Was…

Was that the power of the 49th on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings?

The audience fell utterly silent.

Everyone present, including the influential figures, Lu Dubu and Xie Yuhua, were all amazed by Jintian Xuanyue’s strength.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that a breathtakingly beautiful woman could possess such terrifying powers!

Only Lin Xun remained very calm, smiling to himself. This is expected. This is the charm of Jintian Xuanyue!

1. So I’m not sure why the author changed You Tianxing, back in 1890 he was introduced as a spirit cultivator with the Great Dao Field Nine-Colored Jade Hall, but now he uses a blade with this new Great Dao Field. I assume the author just had a brain fart and forgot ☜
