Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 173

Xu Jian had defeated Wang Kun, and this result shocked everyone. However, compared to Yan Chutian, Xu Jian's victory was still acceptable. After all, Xu Jian was the Holy Son who had long been famous in the southern region, and he was quite famous even in the northern region.

However, even if it could accept it, the disciples of the northern region still could not remain calm. Could this heavenly opportunity really be the southern region's chance to turn things around?

"Hmph! The southern region was only struggling on the verge of death. When the top Holy Sons in our northern region showed strength, they were definitely powerless to resist!"

"The "real Holy Son had yet to enter the arena. When they appeared, this southern region Holy Son would definitely not have the chance to turn things around!"

"Just wait, the luck of the southern region will be over soon!"

The northern students compete with each other. Before they finished speaking, they cheered again when they saw the other Northern region Holy Sons entering the arena. However, when the results were revealed after a long time, these clamoring northern region disciples were ruthlessly slapped. Because the one who fought with the northern region's Holy Son was Mu Wan.

With Mu Wan's strength, after a fierce battle, he finally defeated the Northern Region's Holy Son and obtained victory in this battle.

The moment Mu Wan left the arena, Luo Xue jumped into the arena. Yan Chutian could not help but laugh when he saw this scene. It seemed that the southern region would obtain consecutive wins in these four consecutive arena battles.

The end result was indeed in line with Yan Chutian's expectations. With Luo Xue's strength, he finally suppressed his opponent and grabbed a victory.

However, after these four consecutive victories, the strength of the southern region seemed to have been exhausted altogether. Furthermore, they faced three consecutive crushing defeats. The three Holy Sons who entered the arena were almost completely destroyed by the top Holy Sons in the northern region.

This situation caused the northern region disciples to involuntarily cheer in joy. After a long period of defeat, their northern region's Holy Sons finally showed the strength they should have.

However, after three consecutive victories, when the last top Holy Son of the northern region stepped into the arena, the result was that he was defeated by the southern region's Holy Son again. Yan Chutian did not know this Southern Region Holy Son, but he had seen him before. When he entered the sect treasury, this black-robed Holy Son stood beside Luo Xue, and they looked very close.

Now it seemed that those related to Luo Xue were not ordinary people.

However, the disciples from the Northern and Southern Region did not care much. They only care about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Southern Region had completely reversed its usual situation. Even if they did not have the upper hand, they were now balanced with the Holy Son of the Northern Region.

Please be aware that in the past, when did the Northern Region not destroy the Southern Region? Otherwise, how could the Southern Region be suppressed in such a way? But this time, the situation was completely reversed?

Hence, the bad premonition in the hearts of the Northern Region disciples grew stronger. Could it be that the Southern Region has unleashed all their strength and this time, the Tianji Meeting will suppress the Northern Region no matter what?

"Haha ... this time, the Southern Region's Holy Son is not bad!"

A Northern Region elder said to the Southern Region elder with a fake smile. Hearing this, the Southern Region elder immediately replied in the same manner. "Chairman of the Northern Region, you flatter me. By the way, it should be the Holy Son of the Northern Region. Why is he so much weaker than before?"

Before the Southern Region elder could finish his words, a dangerous aura quickly filled the air from both sides, as if ready to fight. In fact, both sides are used to it. It would be strange if the Northern and Southern Regions could coexist peacefully.

The end of the first round of the Tianji Meeting also announced the end of the day's competition. The Tianji Meeting only held one round of competition each day. This was to allow the top Holy Sons participating in the Tianji Meeting to have sufficient time to adjust their conditions. Of course, if too many Holy Sons were eliminated from one side, then the remaining Holy Sons would have to face the possibility of several rounds of competition.

But a world like this. It seems fair, but how can it be completely fair?

At the end of the day's competition, the boundaries of the Northern and Southern Regions that had been reconnected were sealed. Only the huge arena that spanned the Northern and Southern regions remained. However, the middle of the arena was divided into two by a boundary.

However, after all, this could not change the fact that after the first round of the Tianji Meeting, the Southern Region could unexpectedly be in balance with the Northern Region. This is a situation that only happened years ago. But now, the Southern Region actually created such an outcome again?!

As the news spread back to the Northern Region, the disciples who could not watch the competition for various reasons were shocked and humiliated. They could not accept that the Northern Region was not suppressing the Southern Region. Could it be that the Tianji Meeting this time allowed them to turn things around?

As the news also spread to the Southern Region, the other disciples were greatly shocked. During this time, the Southern Region had been pushed aside and suppressed by the Northern Region. They can barely lift their heads. However, in the Tianji Meeting, at least after the first round, the Southern Region was now able to openly raise its head and look directly at the Northern Region!

"Hahaha ... this time, let's see what the Northern Region disciples said. Didn't they always look down on the Southern Region and even in vain try to destroy us?"

"Xu Jian, Luo Xue, Shen Kong, and the other Holy Sons did not disappoint. They defeated the Northern Region's Holy Son and displayed the strength of the Southern Region!"

"By the way, the most shocking ones were Yan Chu and Holy Princess Qiu Yu. At first, I thought they had just made it into the top ten Holy Sons. But now, it seems this is an obvious case. ."

"Who said otherwise?! Elder Han Chen had actually brought back two outstanding disciples. Both of them can fight above their cultivation level. Even the Elixir Realm Stage was unable to erase this kind of shocking ability. "

"If both of their cultivation levels reach the fourth level, I'm afraid even the top Holy Son of the Northern Region can only obediently give up, right?"

"Huh .. This is also impossible. So maybe this time, we should still rely on Luo Xue and the other Holy Sons. After all, their foundation was much deeper."

"That's true …"

While the disciples of the Northern and Southern Region were discussing excitedly, Yan Chutian and Mu Wan had already returned to the cave. The two did not have unnecessary conversations. The two entered the depths of the cave and quickly adjusted the body. Then, recalling the understanding of the battle today.

Every battle is a battle that cannot be underestimated. It was also a tense battle. And this kind of battle was the best way to hone a cultivator. For Yan Chutian and Mu Wan, it was the same.

Carefully recalling that battle, the day turned into night. Yan Chutian slowly opened his eyes in the middle of the night and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that had long been brewed.

The cultivation of the Mysterious Flame Qi Condensation Stage was not something that could be done overnight. The same was true for Mysterious Fire Body, Mystic Fire Qi, Spirit Rune and so on. Perhaps the only thing that could be improved in such a short period of time was his cultivation level.

Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he broke through to the first level of the Elixir Realm. Now, his cultivation level was not at the initial level of the Elixir Realm, but at the upper intermediate level. If he studied it carefully, he might be able to break through.

With this thought, Yan Chutian took action. He used the remaining half of the night to try to break through his cultivation level. However, whether he could break through was also unknown.

Midnight passed quietly and dawn the next day slowly arrived. As the sun rose, the atmosphere of the Tianji Sect, which had never been quiet, suddenly became extremely noisy.

Today is the second round of the Tianji battle. The disciples from the Northern Region all hoped that they could erase the humiliation they suffered yesterday. As long as they could eliminate the Holy Son of the Southern Region, the Northern Region would remain an overbearing Northern Region. The South will not be able to return.

As for the Southern Region disciples, they naturally hoped yesterday's surprise would continue. Perhaps this Heavenly Secret Battle would truly be an opportunity for the Southern Region to return!

The sun is rising. As the light became brighter and even hotter, a large number of Northern and Southern Region disciples were already waiting excitedly on both sides of the large arena separated by the border.

They don't have to wait long. Immediately, the elders from the Northern and Southern Regions appeared. Just like yesterday, they opened the boundary and connected the Northern and Southern Regions together again!
