Chapter 1215: Exchange 1

A month quickly passed.

Between Hidden Spirit Island and the black palace, a temporary large world was created by Grape for the contest arena between the two sects.

In that large world, there was a hidden secret realm where Xu Fan, Senior Huangshan, Heaven’s Destruction, and two Great Saints from the Heavenly Dao Gate gathered.

At this time, the large world below had been divided into 1,000 spaces for one-on-one duels between the sect’s disciples.

"Senior Huangshan, did you really say that the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Gate are not as good as those of my sect?" Xu Fan asked somewhat exasperatedly.

"I just spoke the truth; compared to the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Gate, your Hidden Spirit Sect’s disciples are indeed stronger," Huangshan replied lightly.

Xu Fan showed a helpless expression; the scope of the Demon Domain only covered less than one-third of the territory controlled by the entire human race.

Although its strength wasn’t as great as the Yuanshi Sect, the selection standards for disciples were based on the strength of the Yuanshi Sect.

Since Xu Fan agreed to exchange with the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Gate, he had gathered information on them from Grape’s database.

"Senior Huangshan, could you please refrain from mentioning my sect in this regard? We can’t handle the turmoil," Xu Fan sincerely asked Huangshan.

"Xu Divine Master, you must trust my judgment," Huangshan said with a smile.

"Huangshan’s intuition has always been quite accurate; you can rest assured," Heaven’s Destruction added from the side.

At that moment, the disciples from both sides began to enter the arena. Each sect sent out five hundred Great Luo and five hundred Golden Immortal disciples.

There were no excessive rules; they could use any means necessary to achieve victory.

As the bell signaling the start of the battle rang, the entire large world trembled slightly.

Soon, each world erupted with various beams of wide road light.

Xu Fan casually glanced around and noticed that most of the disciples he randomly sent out were at a disadvantage as soon as the fight began.

Within less than a breath, 60 battle worlds turned black and 37 turned blue.

Black represented the victory of the Heavenly Dao Gate, while blue represented Hidden Spirit Sect.

"Huangshan, it’s best to consider your words carefully in the future."

"While Hidden Spirit Sect’s disciples are strong, they can’t possibly surpass those of my Heavenly Dao Gate," one of the Great Saints of the Heavenly Dao Gate said nonchalantly.

"Are the disciples you brought this time the most exceptional among your Heavenly Dao Gate at the same realm?"

"And the Hidden Spirit Sect, they were randomly selected," Huangshan replied with a slight smile.

"Xu Grand Elder, do you look down on my Heavenly Dao Gate?" the other Great Saint from the Heavenly Dao Gate furrowed his brow, showing some dissatisfaction.

At that moment, the number of black battle worlds illuminating in the large world continued to increase.

This represented that more and more disciples from the Heavenly Dao Gate achieved victory in battles.

"Of course not. It’s rare to meet your sect, and I want every disciple to witness the strength of your sect and understand that there are always stronger individuals out there."

"Besides, randomly selected disciples may not necessarily be weak," Xu Fan quickly added.

"After this competition, could you send out the most exceptional group of disciples from each realm in your sect?" the Great Saint from the Heavenly Dao Gate inquired.

"Xu Divine Master, just send them out so they can broaden their horizons," Heaven’s Destruction said with a smile beside him.

"Yes, otherwise they might think my standards are lacking," Huangshan chimed in.

"Only send the most outstanding disciples? What about the ordinary ones? It’s a rare chance to interact with a top-tier sect of the human race," Xu Fan said hesitantly.

"That’s easy to handle. This time, we’ve brought a million disciples from our sect, enough for all your sect’s disciples to take part," another Great Saint-level elder replied.

"Grand Elder Xu, first send out your best disciples for the exchange, and the rest can mingle freely," he added.

Meanwhile, outside the large world, Yuan Lord and Lord of the Demon Domain were observing the battles within.

"I told you before that your method of selecting disciples, which completely mirrors the Yuanshi Sect, isn’t effective," Yuan Lord remarked.

"Such talented kids, yet you’ve messed them up at the Heavenly Dao Gate," Yuan Lord shook his head.

"You’ve got good masters, good Master Ancestors, good great Master Ancestors, and good…"

"And I’ve got nothing. What else could I do but learn from others first?" Lord of the Demon Domain replied lightly.

"If you don’t know how to teach disciples, just stand there like a mascot, pointing fingers and making a mess of things."

"If all your disciples had been taught by the Grand Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect, they might’ve replaced the Yuanshi Sect by now," Yuan Lord said.

Lord of the Demon Domain ignored Yuan Lord, focusing intently on the battles below.

"This time, during the Myriad Tribes Conference, if we team up, we can claim half of the shattered worlds. By then, our human race will be the strongest in the Three Thousand Realms," Yuan Lord declared.

Hearing this, Lord of the Demon Domain was momentarily stunned, then looked at Yuan Lord in surprise. "I feel like you’re stealing my lines."

"How come Yuan Lord, who usually doesn’t care about the human race, suddenly has ambitions to dominate?"

"In the past, it didn’t matter to me. The human race was just as it was; whether I intervened or not, it wouldn’t make much difference to their overall strength."

"But this time is different. With two shattered worlds, if I can claim half of them, I’ll have fulfilled the promise I made to my master," Yuan Lord said.

"Time has slipped away. If your master had taken me as a disciple back then, I dare say the entire Three Thousand Realms would now be ruled by just a few tribes," Lord of the Demon Domain said, looking at Yuan Lord with a mix of frustration and disappointment.

"Stop looking at me like that. If you were in my position, you wouldn’t say such things."

"Do you think it’s so easy for the human race to unify the Three Thousand Realms?"

Yuan Lord had seen that look on many faces, but none of them understood the burdens and pressures he carried.

"Then share what you know with me from the Demon Domain. I’ll bear what you’re unwilling to carry."

Lord of the Demon Domain fixed his gaze on one of the battle worlds within the large world.

In that world, Xiong Li was locked in a life-and-death struggle with a body refinement disciple from the Heavenly Dao Gate.

There were no flashy displays of wide road laws; just the raw, primal force of combat.

The two Great Luo golden forms clashed repeatedly, unleashing battle fluctuations that rivaled the quasi-saint level.

The space in that battle world collapsed over and over.

It shattered into nothingness, only to begin repairing itself under some mysterious force.

But before it could fully mend, the space shattered again.

In this battlefield reduced to nothingness, the two exchanged blows relentlessly.

"What a shame. If I’d fully committed to the path of body refinement back then, I might’ve reached the chaotic saint realm by now," Lord of the Demon Domain lamented.

"The path of body refinement, while the simplest way to advance to a chaotic saint in the Three Thousand Realms, requires you to first become a Great Saint in that path."

"If you sneak into the God Demon Empire zone, can you guarantee you won’t be caught?" Yuan Lord looked at Lord of the Demon Domain with a skeptical gaze.
