Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"Chu Hao. Chu Hao." Tang Xin knocked on the door rhythmically, and Flying Fire immediately leapt out, skillfully flicking the door open with its claw—this guy really was a freak, with an absurdly high IQ.

"What." Chu Hao lay in bed; he had to forge iron every day, which left his entire body sore and all he wanted to do after returning home was sleep.

"Tomorrow, Xue Li will fight Shi Lingyue to decide the ranking of the fifth and sixth Core Disciples." Tang Xin plopped down on the chair.

"What's that to me?" Chu Hao didn't even lift his head.

"The battle for fifth and sixth place among the Core Disciples," Tang Xin glared at him fiercely, "You want to miss such an exciting duel? Don't you know, only the top ten ranked Inner Sect Disciples can be called Core Disciples, those are geniuses among geniuses. Plus, Senior Sister Xue and Senior Sister Shi are both top beauties, known as the Twin Beauties of Yunliu Sect.

Countless people in the Sect want to marry them. It's usually impossible to even get a glimpse of them, and this is a great opportunity."

"Haha, aren't you into mature women like Madam Yun? How come you've changed your taste to like queen beauties now?" Chu Hao laughed.

Tang Xin's face turned red and he said, "None of your business who I like."

Chu Hao sighed and said, "If it's not until tomorrow, why have you come running over now?"

"You go off to forge iron every morning. If I didn't come over the night before, how would I find you?" Tang Xin replied.

Indeed.

"Alright, now that I know, you can get lost." Chu Hao was so tired he could hardly keep his eyes open.

"To make sure you don't forget, I'll just reluctantly stay here tonight."

"Hey, hey, hey, you better not have fallen for me?"

"Get lost."

The night passed and first thing in the morning, Tang Xin dragged Chu Hao out of bed. After breakfast, together with Flying Fire, they left Weird Claw Peak and headed to Raising Hoof Peak. By then, a lot of people had already gathered on the plain at the foot of the peak.

There were both Outer Sect and Inner Sect Disciples. The competition between two geniuses who were also stunning beauties naturally attracted a lot of attention.

However, the Outer Sect Disciples didn't dare to vie with the Inner Sect Disciples for spots and either stood or sat in the outer areas.

Chu Hao and Tang Xin soon found Fu Xue, and the three of them stood together on a large rock to wait.

"Look, it's Chi Dao." Tang Xin suddenly pointed to a corner.

Chu Hao looked over and sure enough, it was Chi Dao, that incredibly arrogant guy. A year had passed and Chi Dao had grown a bit taller, with a faint layer of fuzz on his lips, just starting to look manly.

Chi Dao seemed to sense something and immediately looked back, his face a bit gloomy, his gaze sharp.

He naturally wasn't happy.

The noble Young Master of the Chi Family was actually unable to overtake a native of the Lower World and had been sent back home in disgrace, becoming the laughing stock among his peers. What a pity – he was ordered not to go to the Lower World again, and could only ask Chi Zhong for help to teach Chu Hao a lesson and take Flying Fire back.

But he hadn't expected Chi Zhong to fail as well.

Fortunately, Chu Hao had also come to Yunliu Sect.

Chi Dao gave a cold laugh and mouthed a few words.

Chu Hao thought for a moment and then realized what the other side was saying, "Half a year later." Half a year later would be the time for the first martial competition among the Outer Sect Disciples. Chi Dao meant to defeat him publicly, to humiliate him thoroughly.

He smiled faintly, curious to see who would be on their knees singing conquest in that time.

"Here they come. Senior Sister Shi is here." The crowd suddenly became agitated.

Chu Hao followed the crowd's gaze and saw a tall woman in a green dress coming down from the peak. The mountain wind lifted her hem, revealing snow-white martial trousers underneath.

This woman was stunningly beautiful with skin white as jade. Her black hair flowed like clouds, fluttering ceaselessly in the mountain breeze as if she would take off on the wind at any moment, pure and otherworldly.

The sixth-ranked Core Disciple, Shi Lingyue.

"Senior Sister Shi is so beautiful."

"That ethereal and out-of-this-world aura is mesmerizing."

"If I could marry a woman like Senior Sister Shi, my life would be complete."

"Hahaha, dream on. Don't you know Senior Sister Shi is the Senior Brother's woman?"

Senior Brother?

Chu Hao thought that in the entire Yunliu Sect, there was only one Senior Brother—Cao Jingwen, the top-ranked among Core Disciples. He was a true genius, not only unmistakably the number one in Yunliu Sect but also well-known throughout the entire Tianhe County. He was mentioned alongside three other exceptional talents as the Four Talented of Tianhe.

This was a universally acknowledged genius, far surpassing Luo Ping who ranked second; it was a pity, though, since the Cao family was already a Sixth Rank Noble Family, Cao Jingwen was destined not to inherit the position of Sect Master of Yunliu Sect.

In everyone's opinion, perhaps only Mo Guxin might barely pose a threat to Cao Jingwen in the future.

I won't lose either.

Chu Hao clenched his fists, his comprehension was sky-high, and he was even capable of absorbing the power of Star Stones in the Martial Disciple Realm, there was no reason he would lose to Cao Jingwen.

Shi Lingyue stepped onto the clearing with graceful steps, this was the battlefield, standing there so exquisite, like a valley orchid emanating elegance and full of spirituality.

It took at least a dozen minutes before the crowd became noisy again.

Xue Li had arrived.

Chu Hao looked over and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

The pomp and pageantry of this Senior Sister Xue was just too grand and exaggerated.

She was seated on a huge purple sandalwood chair, adorned with luxurious beast skins, and this chair was actually being carried by four sturdy men.

Flaming red lips, eyes seductive as silk.

She was a natural beauty, charming and enchanting.

Chu Hao gritted his teeth and said, "She's so high-profile, doesn't the sect manage her?"

Tang Xin shrugged his shoulders and said, "She hasn't beaten or killed anyone, the sect has no rule against disciples serving their senior brothers and sisters, and moreover, with her talent so high, the sect is too busy doting on her; naturally, they turn a blind eye."

Chu Hao shook his head and said, "You like this kind too?"

Tang Xin hesitated and said, "I do like her, but I fear I can't control her."

"Then you better cultivate quickly, and when your strength surpasses hers, you can go chase the fairy." Chu Hao laughed.

Tang Xin rolled his eyes. He had taken the Searing Heart Pill and for a whole half a year, it was impossible for him to make the slightest progress. Talking to him about cultivation now was simply slapping him in the face. Damn it, what a misjudgment in friendship.

"Xue Li, I have been waiting for you for a long time," Shi Lingyue said.

"Hahahaha, isn't it only right to wait for me?" Xue Li laughed coquettishly, and then said very narcissistically, "The entire world should stop and admire my beauty. Don't you think I'm beautiful?"

She stood up from the chair, looking around with allure and charm.

"Senior Sister Xue, I love you."

"You are the most beautiful."

"Absolutely gorgeous."

She clearly had no lack of admirers, as immediately numerous young men yelled out, and even some females screamed crazily.

"Hmph, battle me then," Shi Lingyue said as she slapped her sword sheath at her waist, and a three-foot-long sword unsheathed instantly, its cold light shimmering like water, obviously a divine weapon.

"You really are impatient. But, your impatient look is really cute. Why don't I properly teach you a lesson?" Xue Li said.

"Humph, take my sword," Shi Lingyue cried out tenderly, thrusting her sword to meet her opponent.

Ding ding ding.

Immediately, a series of dense sounds rang out, both women were fighting fast, so fast that even Chu Hao's eyesight could not catch their movements until the women suddenly separated, and only then did he see that at some point Xue Li had appeared with two curved swords in her hands.

By this time, both of them had eight glowing lines on their bodies, some extending from the head to the hands, others from the abdomen to the feet. But one was red as fire, while the other was azure blue.

These glowing lines were the proof of their Martial Master status, with each line representing a minor realm they had surpassed. Once they made a full effort, it was impossible to hide.

Eight glowing lines, Eight Meridians Martial Master.

After confronting each other for a while, the two women suddenly lunged at each other again, and again there was a clash of weapons.

This was the Martial Master.

So powerful.

Chu Hao remarked, feeling as if it was the time he was a First Tier Lesser Mahayana realm, witnessing the fight between Fu Xue and Luo Zixian, that level of power far exceeded his imagination.

If it were him on stage, he would be defeated in one move.

This made Chu Hao's fighting spirit surge even higher, looking forward even more to reaching the peak of the Martial Disciple Realm, breaking through a meridian, and stepping into the Martial Master Realm.

"Such a sore loser," Xue Li muttered, her hands twirling, and the two curved swords instantly vanished out of sight, nowhere to be seen.

"Senior Sister Xue."

"Senior Sister Xue is the strongest."

"Senior Sister Xue is the most beautiful."

Suddenly, the crowd cheered, and Xue Li gladly accepted their adoration, fully embracing her queenly demeanor.
