Chapter 826: The Flaw

"If he’s not dead, let’s kill him again," the Chief Senior Brother of the Elder Council said, his face showing a hint of menace.

That blast still hurt him a bit.

"Senior Brother, there’s something I need to tell you," said the Disciple from the art of divination.

"What is it? Did any of the disciples disobey your orders?" the Chief Senior Brother asked, frowning.

"I just observed this Mystical World and found that it has perfectly replicated the wide road laws," the disciple explained.

"It’s practically a complete world, hundreds of times stronger than the world crafted by our Elder Council," the Disciple from the art of divination marveled.

"And then?"

"In this Mystical World, anything you do can be restored afterwards."

"So, I can take advantage of this flaw and directly draw from my own lifespan to foresee the movements of the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple."

"Doing this seems a bit unfair, so I need your approval, Senior Brother," the Disciple from the art of divination explained.

"Our battle with the Hidden Spirit Sect is supposed to be fair; you using your lifespan to divine their actions does indeed seem a bit underhanded," the Chief Senior Brother pondered.

"If I don’t use it, it feels like a waste."

"Then, keep a close watch on the one who attacked me with that cannon."

"Having this advantage, eliminating one of their disciples isn’t unreasonable," a gleam flashed in the Chief Senior Brother’s eyes.

"Understood, Senior Brother," the Disciple from the art of divination replied, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

This disciple, who had been blasting away during the first battle, felt quite annoyed as well.

At this moment, Qian Bing was hiding outside the range of the second crystal tower.

"The Elder Council members must be lurking around this second crystal tower; we need to be fully prepared and fire a shot to change locations," Qian Bing said, looking as if he had foresight.

Just then, Qian Bing furrowed his brow slightly.

For a brief moment, he felt as if someone was watching him.

"Let’s go; this place feels ominous and it’s best not to linger here!" Qian Bing urged quickly.

That feeling reminded him of being spotted by Xiong Li during the Battle Royale.

As the feeling struck him, he realized he should change his hiding spot immediately.

While everyone quickly packed up, a Giant Sword, a thousand feet long, appeared in the sky above them.

It rushed down toward their location.

"Boom!"

The Giant Sword swung down at the five people below.

"It’s over, it’s over!" Qian Bing exclaimed, feeling his mysterious energy had already been locked on; endless sword intent surrounded him, and he knew he couldn’t escape.

A sword mark a hundred miles long appeared at the spot where the four had originally stood.

Qian Bing’s five-member team was completely annihilated.

Back at the Hidden Spirit Sect’s base, Situ Nan received the news that Qian Bing’s team had been wiped out.

“Qian Bing’s hidden abilities are among the best in the sect; such precise strikes must come from a disciple who specializes in the art of divination,” Situ Nan analyzed.

“I never detected Qian Bing even once during the battle royale game,” Xiong Li added from the side.

“Then we need to change our battle strategy,” Situ Nan said with a spark in her eye.

The onlookers outside, watching from a god’s perspective, became even more interested.

“This is getting exciting; let’s see how our little war god handles this,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

“When I was reincarnated, I was a general in several lifetimes. In situations like this, I must exert pressure and use straightforward tactics,” Li Xingci stated.

“Theoretically, that’s how it should be. Let’s see how they operate down there,” Xu Fan nodded in agreement.

As everyone watched the Mystical World, enormous crabs as big as millstones were pushed forward.

Disciples from the gourmet division, along with the cafeteria chef, prepared a seafood feast for everyone.

“Don’t just worry about them; we should enjoy our food and drink. Having fun is the most important thing,” Xu Fan said with a grin.

According to his calculations, it would likely end in a tie, but if the disciple from the art of divination disregarded their lifespan, the outcome was uncertain.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, after three days and nights, it was the familiar final battle.

Xiong Li faced the Chief Senior Brother of the Elder Council.

The clash between body refinement and swordsmanship showcased the terrifying results of refining body refinement to its limits.

“If this were in the past, there’s no way I could break Xiong Li’s defense,” Spirit Cut exclaimed as he watched the battle on the light curtain in awe.

“Can you break Xiong Li’s defense now?” Xu Gang asked from the side.

After advancing to a greater respected elder, he often sparred with Spirit Cut and was fully aware of Spirit Cut’s fighting strength.

At his current stage, he absolutely could not break Xiong Li’s defense.

“I didn’t say I could break it right now; I still need a little more power!”

“If I really did risk my life to use a secret technique, it would at most result in a situation where we both perish,” Spirit Cut calculated.

Just then, the Chief Senior Brother of the Elder Council activated a secret technique and cleaved Xiong Li’s true spirit with a sword.

However, he himself died from overexertion.

Interestingly, even in the end, the number of crystal towers remained at five.

The Hidden Spirit Sect and the Elder Council each occupied five towers.

Both sides were satisfied with this result, as it further motivated the fighting spirit of their sect’s disciples.

At the Elder Council headquarters, Ming Kong looked at the extinguished light curtain and couldn’t help but smile.

“Next time, tell Feilong to use all his tactics.”

He wasn’t angry to see his disciples struggle; instead, he found it amusing.

Having a worthy adversary fosters improvement.

“With those celestial tools, dao tools, Spiritual Treasures, and spirit pills we jointly produced with the Hidden Spirit Sect, it seems we won’t be needing them,” Ming Kong said with a smile to the higher-ranked elders around him.

“That feels a bit unfair,” a higher-ranked elder commented.

You must know that a cultivator specializing in the art of divination, using secret techniques without regard for their lifespan, is like facing an opponent without armor.

“It doesn’t matter; the more it feels this way, the more excited they are over there,” Ming Kong chuckled.

The competition between the disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect and the Elder Council was unknowingly leaked, capturing the attention of all the top sects in the cultivation world.

They all clamored to join in.

The day after the news broke, Master Qianling came knocking.

“Grand Elder, you must include us from Qianling Sect in this wonderful event!”

“It’s just 100,000 inner sect core disciples!”

“We from Qianling Sect can manage that, and we’ll contribute a share of the rewards as well,” Master Qianling said, looking at Xu Fan with hopeful eyes.

“This invitation is from the Elder Council, but since Qianling Sect wants to join, let’s welcome more people for the excitement," Xu Fan replied with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll organize 100,000 core disciples to come after I get back,” Master Qianling said cheerfully. He came here with an important mission and would face consequences if he failed.

“No need to make it so complicated; I can have the formations discipline disciples set up an entrance to the Mystical World at your location,” Xu Fan suggested.

“That would be a great help, Grand Elder.”
