Lu Rang and Long Zixuan both immediately agreed!
The two exchanged glances, their eyes flickering with excitement and anticipation.
Seeing this, Li Fan nodded and said, "Good, in that case, you two go with Qian Ning and the others."
The two immediately responded.
"Hmm... since we're going to have a group fight, it's absolutely not suitable to go without weapons. You also need to find weapons that suit you..."
Li Fan pondered and said, "I do have several sharp weapons, but I'm afraid giving them to you might lead to unnecessary killing... So, why don't you two look around the courtyard and see if there is any weapon you can use?"
The system had previously rewarded him with several knives, swords, and spears, but those items were all very sharp.
When it came to group fights, Li Fan had some experience — carrying sharp weapons could easily lead to casualties, and the price for that was too high.
However, upon hearing Li Fan's words, everyone seemed to understand instantly.
"The several sharp weapons that Senior Li is talking about... must be world-ending armaments. This realm simply can't withstand them, so they cannot be used lightly!"
Fire Spirit had an expression of understanding on her face.
Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, on the other hand, got up and said, "As you command, we will go find some."
They immediately swept their gazes over the courtyard.
After these few days, they understood that there were terrifying devices everywhere in this small courtyard, and any of them could cause a sensation in the world.
For example, the hoe Lu Rang used for farming — he knew it was definitely beyond an Immortal Artifact and its grade unimaginable. He was already in the Mahayana Realm, but could only barely lift it, without causing any fluctuation in the hoe's Dao rhythm.
For example, the bowl Long Zixuan used for baiting — Long Zixuan deeply understood how terrifying it was. He suspected that the bowl could suppress a True Dragon!
"There are so many unparalleled treasures in this small courtyard, but our current cultivation level allows us to use very few of them... Therefore, Master let us gauge our strength and choose something we can control," Long Zixuan communicated to Lu Rang.
Lu Rang nodded and said with a headache, "Everything here of Master is too extraordinary, and we can't use anything casually..."
Long Zixuan surveyed the small courtyard and suddenly remembered something. He said, "I've got it!"
He quickly walked into the kitchen.
Afterward, he returned with a grey, unassuming stick in hand.
"Right, how did I not think of that?"
Lu Rang smacked his forehead!
This Blazing Staff was also beyond an Immortal Artifact, but perhaps because they occasionally needed to stoke the fire, they could barely use it.
"I've also picked something for you!"
Long Zixuan smiled slightly and actually took out a pair of chopsticks!
A set of wooden chopsticks!
Lu Rang praised repeatedly, took the chopsticks with delight, and was overjoyed.
He had the lowest cultivation level, and normally using two chopsticks to eat was already very difficult, for the chopsticks were rare treasures as well.
One chopstick was just right; he could barely use it.
"Master, the two of us have already chosen our weapons!"
Long Zixuan reported to Li Fan.
Looking at the weapons the two disciples had chosen, Li Fan suddenly began to doubt himself...
Could these two be fools?
The reason he was not giving them sharp weapons was to avoid harming people — they might end up in prison, but these two fellows, one chose a Blazing Staff, the other chose chopsticks?
Do they look like they're going to fight a group battle...
They're delivering themselves to the slaughter.
Well, it seems these two really had no experience in fighting; they could only join in for the head count.
"Forget it, I have nothing to say. Just stay back during the fight, and don't get hurt," Li Fan could only admonish them, hoping the two disciples wouldn't foolishly rush to the front.
The two nodded like pecking hens; the master was truly considerate, knowing they were not yet capable of using such terrifying weapons, so he especially cautioned them...
"Thank you, Senior. With that said, we will go back and notify Senior Yuanyang and the others. They will surely be overjoyed to learn that Senior has dispatched disciples."
Mu Qianning spoke happily.
Instantly, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, along with Fire Spirit and the others, left together.
"Master... if the two juniors cannot win the fight... next time, let us go instead," Nan Feng spoke up after they left.
She had been reluctant to volunteer herself because, as an Almost Immortal and a Supreme, she and Zi Ling going against the younger generation would be too dishonorable in the martial world.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was stunned — a girl who plays the zither suddenly saying she wants to go out and fight with her sister who paints, was far too discordant...
"Haha, I have already broken through to the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven!"
A young man in a golden robe, laughing heartily, stood before a waterfall, radiating a palpable sense of power!
In just two short days, he had advanced from Hollow Void Realm to the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven!
What kind of concept is that?
It's nothing short of a leap!
"Hehe, Senior Wu Ming, I'm slightly behind you, but I have also reached the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven!"
Beside him, a rather gaunt young man with an exceptionally sinister gaze in his eyes also spoke with a smile.
"You two have received the Master's grace, this time, you must win the entire Southern Territory for our Luofu Holy Land!"
The Luofu Holy Master looked at the two of them, his eyes also brimming with excitement, filled with confidence!
In the younger generation of the whole Xuantian Realm, spanning across all the Holy Lands, those who could reach the Hollow Void Realm were considered top-level geniuses.
Take Wu Ming, for example, who reached the first level of the Hollow Void Realm before coming to the Southern Territory, had already made a name for himself in the Central Province as an unparalleled talent.
Now, he had even broken through to the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven. Such a realm was enough for him to look down upon the older generation!
How could other forces compete with his Luofu Holy Land?
This time, dominating the entire Southern Territory was within easy reach!
And above the waterfall, the middle-aged man dressed in linen stood with his hands behind his back, looking icily at the people below.
"...Burning all potential and life in exchange for three days at the apex, yet still unable to enter the Immortal Path... what utter waste."
He shook his head, "I only hope that you two wastes can allow me to discern some clues about the person behind all this through this competition…"
The long sword sliced through the air, its unmatched Sword Qi, like a mighty dragon, was extremely powerful!
"Has Senior Brother Cao Shuang broken into the Venerable Realm?!"
Xia Tong and Zhang Dujian both looked at Cao Shuang with shock and admiration!
Cao Shuang burst into hearty laughter, retracting his long sword. He was filled with a sense of invincibility as he said, "Just right, I've taken one step further ahead of you, crossing the line between the Mahayana Realm and the Integration Realm!"
Pride filled his eyes.
Xia Tong and Zhang Dujian were only in the Mahayana Realm, but he had gone far beyond, stepping into the Venerable Realm.
"Senior brother is not even thirty years old, right? A Venerable under thirty... unprecedented and remarkable!"
Xia Tong looked at Cao Shuang, her eyes brimming with adoration!
"With senior brother's sword unleashed, the Divine Sword Sect will leap to become the greatest Sect Gate in the Southern Territory!"
Zhang Dujian praised him as well.
In the nearby pavilion, Cao Yijian knelt excitedly towards Luo Ming, saying, "Thank you, Master, thank you. Our Divine Sword Sect is willing to go through fire and water for the Master without any hesitation!"
Cao Shuang was his grandson, who had now become a Venerable!
This was going to be a major event recorded in the cultivation history of the entire Xuantian Realm!
The Divine Sword Sect becoming a Holy Land... and even surpassing Holy Lands, was now possible.
As for this competition? He believed that there was no need to fight. If the outside world knew that his grandson had become a Venerable... all sides would surrender directly!
However, Luo Ming just smiled and said, "If your performance satisfies this seat, you will receive even more."
Cao Yijian immediately knocked his head on the ground.
But in his heart, Luo Ming coldly thought, "If you can satisfy this seat, perhaps after the competition, this seat might bestow one or two Immortal Elixirs, allowing these three waste grandsons of yours to extend their lives. Otherwise, after their life essences have burned out, let their souls and spirits be extinguished—"
When the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao heard of the return of Fire Spirit and the others, they came out to greet them from afar, with utmost respect.
"Ling'er, the Divine Maiden, Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, what did Senior Li say? And who are these two?"
Saint Lord Lingchao asked.
Fire Spirit immediately spoke, "Senior Li, after learning of this matter, sent his two newly accepted disciples to assist us!"
She introduced, "This is Lu Rang, and this is Long Zixuan!"
Lu Rang and Long Zixuan also bowed slightly, saying, "We are here to help fight on the orders of our master!"
Immediately, both the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao were overjoyed!
If Senior Li's disciples were personally taking action, what was there to worry about?
"By the way, Young Master Long, your presence seems to bear a semblance to the Saint Dragon Imperial Dynasty, doesn't it?"
At this time, the Yuanyang Holy Lord suddenly inquired.
Long Zixuan did not deny it, saying, "Not to hide from you two, before becoming a disciple, I was the deposed prince of the Saint Dragon Imperial Dynasty!"
Lu Rang also said with a carefree attitude, "Before becoming a disciple, I was an outer disciple of the Divine Sword Sect!"
Hearing this, both the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao were even more shocked.
"I've vaguely heard that the deposed prince of the Saint Dragon Imperial Dynasty, whose Dragon Soul was defective and unable to cultivate, but Young Master Long, your aura..."
Saint Lord Lingchao began with some surprise.
Even though he was already at the Almost Immortal level, he could now feel the surging, incredibly strong Dragon Soul energy in Long Zixuan's body, and moreover, his cultivation level had reached the Venerable Realm!
At the same time, he also glanced at Lu Rang.
An outer disciple from the Divine Sword Sect should be at the lowest level, yet Lu Rang had also achieved the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven!
A deposed prince and a lowly outer disciple, possessing such cultivation levels? How is anyone else supposed to live!
But Long Zixuan just laughed and said, "Indeed, our progress is all thanks to our master's grace!"
Hearing this, both Saint Lord Lingchao and the Yuanyang Holy Lord showed complicated expressions, but their doubts were instantly dispelled.
"Right, how could Senior Li's disciples be judged by common standards!"
Yuanyang spoke out, but there was a faint hint of envy in his old eyes.
Even the useless can radiate extraordinary brilliance in Senior Li's hands... It's a pity that I am really too old.
His heart was filled with regret.
Soon, the third day arrived!
Today was the day when the Southern Territory and the four major territories had set for the decisive battle among the younger generation!
This battle would determine the ownership of the Southern Territory!
