I Am A Dignified Immortal Emperor, But The Sect Actually Let Me Marry

The next day.

The morning glow scattered in every corner of Extreme Emptiness, cranes hovered among the clouds, and birds chirped and flapped their wings.

The continuous mountain ranges were shrouded in clouds and mist, as if wrapped in a thin veil.

The tranquility of Extreme Emptiness was soon shattered by the loud sound of a bell!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

This was the sound of a bell announcing the arrival of a guest.

Only to hear the outer disciples shouting one after another, and soon more and more people became restless. The news quickly spread throughout Extreme Emptiness!

"Xiao Yan is here!"

"Today is the day!"

"He has already arrived at the outer gate of the sacred land!"

"We have finally been waiting for this moment!"

"The battle between dragons and tigers is about to begin!"

"I'm so excited!"

"Although the Saint Child is bound to win, today's battle will also reveal the gap between me and the young generation's top experts. I hope it won't be too despairing!"

Many people immediately set off from their residences and headed towards crowded places, making a lot of noise.

"Slap!"

A disciple was slapped awake by his senior brothers, and after being dazed for two or three seconds, he instantly became furious and was about to greet them with some friendly words.

"Let's go!"

"Xiao Yan is here!"

The words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back, and he immediately got up, found his clothes, and shouted, "Damn it, wake me up earlier!"

Just as the whole Extreme Emptiness was gradually boiling.

Outside the Extreme Emptiness Sacred Land.

Xiao Yan stood silently, his back towering like a spear piercing the sky.

Carrying a huge blunt weapon shaped like a ruler on his back added a touch of dominance. His whole body was covered in a black robe, seemingly hiding some secret colors of Spirit Partitioning.

He looked at the majestic mountain gate in front of him.

"Extreme Emptiness, here I come!"

Suddenly, an endless passion surged in his chest. This majestic Extreme Emptiness, stepping on it, what a grandeur it would be!

Inside the mountain gate.

Many outer disciples had already gathered, their gazes all focused on Xiao Yan. There was curiosity, astonishment, and even a hint of admiration in their eyes!

Xiao Yan collected his thoughts and slowly spoke:

"I am Xiao Yan, and I have come to Extreme Emptiness today to have a discussion with Extreme Emptiness Saint Child Wei Yunzheng and exchange insights on cultivation!"

His voice was still calm and composed, but the content was slightly different from before.

In the past, he would directly mention the words "pointing out the Dao," but this time he chose a more indirect expression, only saying that he came to exchange insights, without revealing any trace of arrogance.

Soon, a voice came from the clouds, like a bell ringing: "Please, Fellow Daoist, enter Extreme Emptiness!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan flicked his sleeve and walked in with his head held high.

From the moment he entered the mountain gate, he walked step by step, his gaze straight ahead, his steps firm, showing no trace of timidity.

Along the way, more and more disciples of the Extreme Emptiness Sacred Land gathered on both sides, watching Xiao Yan, making him feel an invisible pressure.

Gradually, in less than half an hour, with intentional guidance, Xiao Yan arrived directly below the Extreme Emptiness Hall. It was a spacious area, the same place where Wei Yunzheng and Xiang Wencheng had their discussion before!

In the sky, swords flew like shuttles!

More and more disciples gathered.

Countless gazes were drawn to Xiao Yan, who stood at the center.

The outstanding disciples secretly marveled at Xiao Yan, feeling a sense of awe.

"He truly deserves to be ranked second on the Heavenly Genius List. Just by standing still, he gives people an indescribable sense of oppression."

"From his gaze, resolute and unyielding, to the wildness emanating from his entire being, it is clear that he possesses a temperament that we lack. He truly belongs to the Independent Cultivators!"

"No wonder he has gained such great fame. We must not underestimate him!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussions, and the female disciples were pointing and whispering to each other about Xiao Yan.

On a normal day, if they encountered a man like Xiao Yan, who may not be particularly handsome but possessed a unique aura, they would definitely steal a few more glances at him.

Some bold ones might even go up and strike up a conversation.

But today was different.

Xiao Yan was here to challenge their beloved Saint Child, Wei Yunzheng.

Since Xiao Yan had positioned himself as their opponent, there was no need for restraint or consideration in their words.

"Hey, is this Xiao Yan? He looks average. I wonder where he got the courage to challenge our Saint Child. He really doesn't know his place!"

"That's right."

"He's even wearing a black robe, trying to appear unique. I think he's just an ordinary nobody!"

"Could it be? Jimei, do you think he's intentionally trying to attract our attention with his attire?"

"It's hard to say. Let's ignore him. He's just a clown, not worthy of challenging our Saint Child!"

"Our Saint Child is handsome and has a bright future. Xiao Yan is just an Independent Cultivator. Despite his fame, he's probably someone who can't even earn a hundred thousand taels of silver a month. No, he's probably disabled."

The harsh voices rushed into Xiao Yan's ears one after another.

Initially, he had heard the discussions among the male disciples and was feeling quite pleased with himself. But now, the comments from the female disciples broke through his defenses.

Why do these female disciples harbor such animosity towards me?

Hardly anyone is speaking fairly.

Their words are filled with attacks against me.

Xiao Yan couldn't understand. He clenched his teeth, trying his best to suppress his anger.

Anyone would find it difficult to accept being surrounded by tens of thousands of people, all mocking and belittling them.

Not to mention someone like Xiao Yan, who had a strong sense of self-esteem.

At this moment...

"Silence!"

A loud voice rang out, drowning out all the discussions in Extreme Emptiness. It was the voice of an elder maintaining order, indirectly relieving Xiao Yan.

In just a short period of time, cold sweat had already formed on Xiao Yan's forehead.

He wiped it away.

Looking up, he asked, "Where is Saint Child Wei Yunzheng?!"

"If you wish to discuss with Saint Child, you must first pass my test!"

A voice as thunderous as lightning came from afar, followed by the sound of swords clashing.

Xiang Wencheng arrived on his sword, exuding a terrifying Sword Intent. At this moment, he was radiant, as if he had been reborn.

The despondency he had shown after his previous defeat had disappeared, replaced by a vibrant spirit and a more solid Sword Intent.

The crowd was shocked.

They didn't expect Xiang Wencheng to become even more formidable after his reappearance!

Xiang Wencheng already possessed astonishing comprehension in the way of the sword. Although he had been severely injured and his Dao heart shattered by Wei Yunzheng's blow, he quickly recovered under the guidance of the Sword Hall's master. Moreover, he benefited from the misfortune, and after reshaping his Dao heart, his Sword Intent reached a higher level.

At this moment, he was even stronger than before!

Upon hearing the news of Xiao Yan's arrival, he had long been eager to test his skills and be the first to step forward before Wei Yunzheng appeared.

Xiao Yan stared at Xiang Wencheng, his heart sinking. This was a formidable opponent!

"May I ask for your name, sir?"

"Xiang Wencheng!"

After a moment of thought, Xiao Yan realized that the person before him was ranked fifth on the Heavenly Pride List. Shaking his head, he refused, "I have already defeated the fourth-ranked Heavenly Pride, Azure Cloud Saint Child. Since you are ranked below Azure Cloud Saint Child, you should challenge him first. If you win, then you will have the qualification to challenge me!"

Xiang Wencheng frowned upon hearing this, not expecting Xiao Yan to refuse him based on rankings.

At this moment, a cold voice resounded from the heavens and the earth.

"As the third-ranked Heavenly Pride, I invite Xiao Yan to enlighten me!"
