Chapter 152: Meeting Ling Qingzhu Again, Choosing a Sect

"Scoundrels!"

Watching Zheng Zhong and his group leave with such arrogance, Liu Tong, a deacon of Yuan Gate, was furious.

"Deacon Liu Tong, there's no need to get angry. With the Sky Sealing Array Diagram, we couldn't stop them anyway," the Elder of Enlightenment said calmly.

A beautiful woman from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace glanced at Xiao Tian and said, "I think we should continue to host the Hundred Dynasties Battle. I believe we already have a champion this year."

"Hmph!" Liu Tong snorted coldly, his expression dark, thinking about something unknown.

Xiao Tian was unaware of their thoughts. At this moment, he was gazing at a figure standing gracefully in the distance. Her elegant and serene demeanor, as pure and beautiful as the moonlight, was unchanged from a few years ago. She was the woman Xiao Tian had longed for day and night: Ling Qingzhu.

Today, Ling Qingzhu was dressed in a light green dress, which accentuated her tall and slender figure. Even from afar, one could see her snow-white, flawless skin. A thin veil covered her face, vaguely outlining a near-perfect contour, and her clear eyes made the world lose its color. Her bare feet lightly stepped on a green lotus, resembling an immortal goddess descending from the heavens, making others feel inferior just by looking at her.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Tian walked towards Ling Qingzhu in the void. His actions immediately drew the attention of everyone present, including Ling Qingzhu. She turned her head, and upon seeing Xiao Tian, her body visibly stiffened, a complex and indescribable emotion surging within her heart. Despite the years that had passed, the events in the ancient tomb seemed like they happened yesterday, vividly etched in her memory.

"That's Ling Qingzhu of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. She's captivated countless geniuses from the super sects of the Eastern Mysterious Region!"

"What is Xiao Tian doing? Although he's excellent, it's impossible for Ling Qingzhu to fall for him!"

The geniuses from various dynasties were first stunned by Xiao Tian's actions, then felt he was overestimating himself. In their eyes, even with Xiao Tian's talent, the gap between him and Ling Qingzhu was immense. If even they thought so, the disciples from the super sects who had come to help looked down on Xiao Tian even more. After all, Xiao Tian had not yet joined a super sect, while they were already disciples of such sects. If they couldn't win her favor, how could Ling Qingzhu be interested in Xiao Tian?

However, the next moment, they were collectively stunned. Ling Qingzhu actually flew towards Xiao Tian on her green lotus. Xiao Tian approached and extended his hand, saying, "Nice to meet you, I'm Xiao Tian from the Great Yan Dynasty!"

Seeing Xiao Tian extend his hand, everyone was even more dumbfounded. Although Ling Qingzhu flew over, did he really think he could win her favor?

"Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Ling Qingzhu," she said, her serene eyes showing a slight ripple. Then, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Ling Qingzhu extended her delicate hand and shook Xiao Tian's hand.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Instantly, the sound of countless hearts breaking echoed around. Everyone present looked at Xiao Tian with hostile eyes. This guy had actually touched the hand of their goddess. If looks could kill, Xiao Tian would have been dead countless times by now.

Ignoring the crowd, Xiao Tian focused on the soft, icy hand in his. "Qingzhu, I've kept my promise," he transmitted to her. "I have reached the Life Profound Realm."

"Life Profound Realm?" Ling Qingzhu's eyes focused on Xiao Tian. After a moment, she felt a wave of emotions. "You've indeed done it. I underestimated you."

She was surprised by Xiao Tian's cultivation level. Back then, when she was at the peak of the Fortune Realm, he had only just entered the Qi Creation Realm. Now, she was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, but Xiao Tian had surpassed her, reaching the Life Profound Realm. Such a cultivation speed indeed made him worthy of being her Dao partner.

Xiao Tian smiled and transmitted, "Qingzhu, wait for me. When my strength improves a bit more, I'll come to propose marriage!"

"Propose... marriage?" Ling Qingzhu's eyes showed a trace of panic upon hearing this. She quickly said, "Don't be reckless. Don't say anything until you have the strength to protect yourself!" With that, she transformed into a rainbow light and quickly left, almost as if escaping.

After Ling Qingzhu left, everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Tian. Although they didn't know what the two had discussed, it was clear there was something between them.

Just as Xiao Tian landed, Lan Ying ran over. Her beautiful eyes studied Xiao Tian intently, full of curiosity. "Xiao Tian, I didn't expect you to know Senior Sister Ling!"

Seeing the gossip in Lan Ying's eyes, Xiao Tian couldn't help but twitch his mouth. It had to be said that no matter what kind of woman, they all liked to discuss gossip. Shaking his head, Xiao Tian explained to everyone, "Miss Qingzhu once visited the Great Yan Dynasty. That's where I met her."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised that Xiao Tian and Ling Qingzhu had such a connection. At this moment, the experts from the eight super sects landed. Due to Xiao Tian's formidable combat power earlier, they had decided that he was the champion of this competition. Then, they all turned their eyes to Xiao Tian.

The Elder of Enlightenment asked with a smile, "Xiao Tian, you are the champion of this competition. Which super sect do you plan to join?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Tong said, "Xiao Tian, our Yuan Gate is the strongest super sect!"

"Xiao Tian, Qingzhu is a disciple of our Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace," the beautiful woman from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace added with a smile.

"Hmph, using a beauty trap!" The others snorted disdainfully at her words. Xiao Tian pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I choose to join Dao Sect!"

"Wow!"

Everyone was shocked by his choice. No one had expected Xiao Tian to choose Dao Sect, the weakest of the super sects.

"Hahaha!" The Elder of Enlightenment laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy. The others were somewhat disappointed, except for Liu Tong, who had a sinister look in his eyes. Xiao Tian's choice not only embarrassed him but would also bring punishment from his sect.

With a cold glare, Liu Tong threatened, "Xiao Tian, choosing a sect affects your future. Don't make a mistake!"

"I believe Dao Sect is great!" Xiao Tian replied coldly. Are you kidding? Yuan Gate and the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace were both enemies. Besides, Yuan Gate had allied with demonic beings, making it impossible for Xiao Tian to join. Such a sect was no different from traitors in another world.
