Two beams of light collided, and the resulting waves nearly engulfed the entire battlefield.

Then, the two retreated backward.

Han Wusheng summoned a magic treasure, a banner emanating an ancient aura.

Wuji Sanren said, "So quickly using the Azure Firmament Banner? Is this Yang Fan so troublesome?"

Han Wusheng's expression was solemn. The previous strike made him realize the terror of Yang Fan's strength. If he didn't use a magic treasure, he probably wouldn't last three rounds.

Seeing Han Wusheng use a magic treasure, Yang Fan also unleashed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

Without another word, the two clashed again, their battle shaking the heavens and earth.

It wasn't that he looked down on Han Wusheng, but Han Wusheng was truly too weak.

Or rather, Yang Fan was too strong. Recently, through the enhancement of the Heavenly Mandate Plunder System, Yang Fan's strength had reached a terrifying level.

Yang Fan was confident that if he returned to the day of the grand ceremony, he wouldn't need the Heavenly Mandate Plunder System's help to eliminate the four.

Helpless, Han Wusheng struggled to create distance again, looking at Yang Fan with a solemn expression.

Yang Fan didn't pursue, simply watching him quietly.

Han Wusheng formed a strange hand seal, and instantly, the Azure Firmament Banner fluttered without wind.

A terrifying aura swept over.

"Azure Netherworld!"

Streams of Yellow River water descended from the sky, gathering around Han Wusheng.

Yang Fan sensed a dangerous aura within this water flow.

Han Wusheng explained, "This is the Yellow Spring water of the Yin Underworld, each drop weighing a thousand catties."

Yang Fan understood, his gaze hardening.

Seeing this, Han Wusheng drove the Yellow Spring water towards Yang Fan.

Yang Fan raised his sword to the sky, then ran his hand along the blade, causing it to light up with a dazzling light.

Yang Fan whispered, "Annihilation Slash!"

This Annihilation Slash was also obtained by Yang Fan from his inheritance. Legend says it was created by a great power of heaven and earth, inspired by observing the void and chaos.

It contained the intent of chaos and could sever all things.

At this moment, the crowd outside saw a chaotic blade light collide with the Yellow Spring water.

The chaotic blade light directly split the Yellow Spring water in two as easily as cutting tofu.

Then, it slashed towards Han Wusheng, whose expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

He was about to shout for help, but before he could make a sound, Yang Fan appeared beside him, asking, "Sect Leader Han is alright, right? I was careless just now. I should have reduced the spiritual power transmission, but this is my first time using this move, so I'm not very skilled. Please don't be angry, Sect Leader Han."

Han Wusheng, having just recovered from the previous attack, heard Yang Fan's words.

He could only force a smile and say, "My skills are inferior. Sect Leader Yang need not be so polite."

Then, looking at Yang Fan, he said, "Sect Leader Yang probably hasn't used his full strength, has he?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan initially wanted to answer that he had used his full strength to comfort the man.

However, seeing his serious gaze, he decided against it.

The other party already knew the truth, so he shouldn't lie.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be thinking of others, but looking down on them.

Seeing Yang Fan nod, Han Wusheng revealed a bitter expression and said, "Although I had already guessed this, seeing it with my own eyes still makes me feel uncomfortable."

Then, he said to Yang Fan, "Brother Yang's strength is astonishing. I have no objections to the Profound Azure Sect leading this alliance!"

Afterward, the two returned to their respective sects.

The people of the Profound Azure Sect already knew that their sect leader had won and cheered happily.

Then, Yang Fan and Han Wusheng returned to the inner hall to discuss the matter of cooperation.

Inside the inner hall of the Profound Azure Sect, several people were seated.

Yang Fan sat in the main seat, with the Void Refinement Elder and the three hall masters on his left, and Han Wusheng and his two companions on his right.

At this time, Yang Fan asked Han Wusheng, "I wonder if you all know what the rules of this selection competition are?"

Wuji Sanren said, "Sect Leader Yang may not know, but this selection competition is divided into three rounds. The first round is a contest of sect fortune."

"Sect fortune? What is that?" Yang Fan asked.

Xi Qing said, "Sect fortune is the rise and fall of a sect, as well as its strength and the talent of its disciples."

Wuji Sanren added, "When the time comes, the participating sects will place their respective Promotion Crystals on a specific platform, and this platform will display the sect's fortune."

"I see," Yang Fan said. He had never heard of sect fortune before.

Han Wusheng then said, "This first stage alone will eliminate half of the participants, but Sect Leader Yang can rest assured that with the power your sect displayed during its promotion, this stage will definitely not be a problem."

Yang Fan nodded and then asked, "What about the second round?"

Wuji Sanren said again, "The second round is a secret realm trial."

Secret realm trial? Yang Fan was no stranger to this, having just participated in the Blood Ancient Secret Realm.

Wuji Sanren said, "When the time comes, each sect must send three people to a place called the Heaven's Chosen Secret Realm to kill each other. Not only are there ferocious demon beasts inside, but you must also be careful of people's hearts!"

Han Wusheng said, "This is where we want to cooperate with the Profound Azure Sect. This secret realm will ultimately select the top twenty sects to participate in the final third round."

Wuji Sanren added, "This secret realm allows alliances, so our four factions should be fine working together."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "No problem. When the time comes, if our four sects form an alliance, we will definitely be able to pass this secret realm."

Then, he asked, "What about the third round?"

Xi Qing coughed at this time. "The third round is a free-for-all between the sects. When the time comes, according to the order of the draw, the top ten, top five, top three, and finally the first place will be determined."

Yang Fan said, "-Then this is an individual battle. I hope everyone will not hold back when the time comes."

The three also clasped their fists and said, "Individual battles depend entirely on strength."

Afterward, the group discussed the details further.

Finally, Yang Fan asked, "I wonder if there are any particularly strong opponents in this selection competition?"

The three looked at each other, and finally, they all looked at Xi Qing.

Wuji Sanren said, "Sect Leader Yang, you should ask Sect Leader Xi. He knows much more than the two of us."

"Oh? How so?" Yang Fan asked.

Wuji Sanren was about to speak when Xi Qing interrupted him.

He said, "Sect Leader Yang, don't ask. Let me answer Sect Leader Yang's question."

After speaking, he coughed and said, "If we were to say which sect is receiving the most attention in this selection competition, it would definitely be Sect Leader Yang's Profound Azure Sect. After all, the Profound Azure Sect is now the most famous sect in the Profound Heaven Domain." After speaking, he even raised his eyebrows at Yang Fan.

Seeing this, Yang Fan was helpless. He had indeed been too high-profile recently. This would definitely attract the attention and targeting of countless sects.

However, Yang Fan did not regret it. If he couldn't even protect his own sect, what was the point of talking about the selection competition or the Six Domains War?

Moreover, it wasn't certain who would be targeting whom. He would meet soldiers with generals and water with earth.

Then, he looked at Xi Qing again and said, "Sect Leader Xi, please continue."

Seeing that Yang Fan was not intimidated, Xi Qing was also surprised, but then he became serious and said
