Chapter 1216: Exchange 2

"Let’s not dwell on those troublesome matters anymore; let’s talk about our alliance."

"If we join forces, the Demon Domain must take 50%," declared the Lord of the Demon Domain.

"Do me a favor; let your Demon Domain take 45%. Otherwise, I won’t be able to justify it when I return," replied the Yuan Lord.

"Alright, but you’ll make up the remaining 5% to me privately," the Lord of the Demon Domain said with a confident smirk.

"Fine, but the Spiritual Treasures above the innate supreme treasure in that world must be chosen by my Yuanshi Sect first."

"Deal!" the Lord of the Demon Domain laughed.

Meanwhile, the battle in the large world below had concluded.

In the battle worlds that glowed black, 70% were victories for them, while the rest were won by the Hidden Spirit Sect.

"If the Hidden Spirit Sect sends out their top disciples, they should be evenly matched with the Heavenly Dao Gate," remarked the Yuan Lord.

"No, no, no, I thought it would be split just like it appears on the surface."

"Hidden Spirit Sect 45%, Heavenly Dao Gate 55%," stated the Lord of the Demon Domain.

"How about we make a bet: three Primal Spiritual Treasures?" the Yuan Lord said confidently.

"Let’s bet; who’s afraid?"

As the disciples recovered from their battles, another round began.

This time, Grape selected the strongest group within the same realm to compete.

As soon as the fight started, more than 100 battle worlds lit up in less than a minute.

The colors black and blue were evenly split, with victories at 50-50.

At that moment, the two Great Saints from the Heavenly Dao Gate in the small world where Xu Fan was located grew increasingly solemn.

They sensed the battles below, lost in thought.

Xu Fan glanced at the victorious disciples below and nodded to himself; they performed slightly better than he had expected.

Suddenly, Grape’s voice echoed in Xu Fan’s mind.

"Master, the battling disciples are asking if they should use Kailing celestial techniques."

"Prohibit it; they should fight with all their strength. Anyone who dares to use them will be confined to the Little Black Room for 1,000 years," Xu Fan quickly responded.

They weren’t enemies in life and death; there was no need for such measures.

"Understood!"

The disciples who had planned to use that as a trump card sighed upon hearing Grape’s reply, then unleashed their full strength in a life-and-death struggle.

"Grand Elder Xu, why don’t we have the disciples from those camps compete a few more times and select the top one hundred for rewards?" suggested a Great Saint elder from the Heavenly Dao Gate.

"Sounds good; I was thinking the same thing!" Xu Fan smiled.

Whether it was a small loss or a small gain, Xu Fan didn’t mind much.

Before long, the battles below concluded.

The victories were evenly split at 50-50.

Outside the large world, Yuan Lord’s lips curled up slightly.

"Three Primal Spiritual Treasures, don’t forget," Yuan Lord said before disappearing from sight.

At this moment, the large world began to change, transforming from 1,000 battle worlds to 500.

The disciples who had rested with time acceleration dove back into battle once more.

The two Great Saints from the Heavenly Dao Gate suddenly looked serious.

They all felt a chill creeping up their spines.

There was no need to think about the reason; it was clear that the Lord of the Demon Domain outside the large world was angry.

At that moment, the space in the small world where Xu Fan was located became blurry.

The Lord of the Demon Domain appeared behind the two Great Saints.

"Welcome, Lord of the Demon Domain," Xu Fan greeted.

"Grand Elder Xu, could you share some insights on how you teach your disciples?" the Lord of the Demon Domain asked politely.

"What insights could I possibly have? It all relies on the diligent efforts of the disciples," Xu Fan humbly replied.

"The way disciples are selected in the Heavenly Dao is the same as in the Yuanshi Sect, but with the vast resources of my Heavenly Dao Gate contributing to their growth."

"Now, in competitions among disciples of equal realms, the victories are surprisingly even at 50-50; it is truly incredible," Lord of the Demon Domain commented.

Hearing the words of the Lord of the Demon Domain, Xu Fan began to grumble inwardly.

Did you select your disciples like precious gems while mine were just picked up off the street?

The battles continued in the large world below, with an increasing number of glowing worlds, and both sects maintained an even split of colors.

A few top-tier disciples from the Hidden Spirit Sect had already been defeated, leaving the rest of the entire sect watching the live broadcast of the battles in silence.

"Grape, I want to know about the Heavenly Dao Gate," Xiong Li said.

Earlier, in the second match, he had been eliminated by the top disciple of the Heavenly Dao.

"Yes, I want to know the origins of the Heavenly Dao Gate!" Zhang Xueling added, having just been eliminated himself.

A light curtain appeared in front of everyone, displaying all the information about the Heavenly Dao Gate from Grape’s database.

Xiong Li clenched his fists, his eyes igniting with determination as he absorbed the information on the light curtain.

After the second match ended, the third match began.

The second match had been won by the Heavenly Dao’s top disciple, and in the third match, he faced Wang Xuanxin.

The two exchanged blows back and forth, thanks to Grape reinforcing the battle world’s space; the fight could only be viewed as a clash of their wide roads.

In the end, the Heavenly Dao’s top disciple narrowly lost to Wang Xuanxin.

"This kid is somewhat beyond my expectations," Xu Fan remarked while watching Wang Xuanxin.

"Actually, this disciple is destined to be with the Yuanshi Sect, but I don’t know what happened that led her to become your disciple."

"Fate is unpredictable; that’s probably what it’s about," Huang Shan said.

Curious, Xu Fan turned to Huang Shan and asked, "Didn’t you investigate the cause of the chaotic fate back then?"

"Fate and destiny are like that; if it’s yours, it’s yours; if not, then no amount of force will yield good results." Huang Shan replied.

At that moment, the fourth match began below, and the format of the battles began to shift.

The number of wins for the Hidden Spirit Sect started to increase, and the remaining Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples were undoubtedly the top fighters in the sect.

Watching the live broadcast, Xiong Li sighed once more.

He not only lamented his bad luck but also regretted not performing better in his earlier battle.

The final match was Wang Xuanxin against a demonic cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Gate.

This demonic cultivator had just defeated his opponents in every match.

It created the illusion that if his opponents had been even slightly stronger, he would not have won.

At that moment, Wang Xuanxin looked seriously at her final opponent.

Though he was a demonic cultivator, he gave off a very bright and positive vibe.

“Hidden Spirit Sect, Wang Xuanxin,” Wang Xuanxin declared earnestly.

“Heavenly Dao Gate, Xuan Zuo,” the youthful-looking opponent responded with a sunny smile.

"This disciple from your sect should be the direct disciple of Lord of the Demon Domain," Xu Fan said with satisfaction.

"He’s just my useless second brother," Lord of the Demon Domain replied.

"He has only recently joined my ranks."

“From the Three Thousand Realms, a talent of the demonic path! The Heavenly Dao’s clever heart; this disciple of Lord of the Demon Domain is truly remarkable.”

From the very beginning, Xu Fan had noticed Xuan Zuo.

As soon as he laid eyes on him, Xu Fan knew who would be the winner of this match.

"My sect can’t produce capable disciples; I should at least take in a decent apprentice."

"You don’t need to say that; your disciple is quite good, able to barely match Xuan Er."
