Two more days passed, and the Taiyi Holy Land's warship finally emerged from the void.
The violent spatial storms and ubiquitous lightning were no longer present.
Everything had returned to peace.
What greeted them was brilliant sunlight and abundant spiritual energy!
As expected of the Central Region of the Xuantian Continent.
The concentration of spiritual energy here was visibly denser than in the Eastern and Southern Regions.
Cultivating martial arts here would be much faster!
Furthermore, in such an environment, the possibility of birthing prodigies would greatly increase!
It could be said that blessed lands were everywhere!
This also resulted in powerhouses, rarely seen in the other four regions, being quite common here.
The moment Xu Chuan emerged from the void, he saw a cultivator at the first level of the Heavenly King realm, leading a group of cultivators at the Tongtian realm, flying past him.
They showed no reaction to the sudden appearance of the Taiyi warship.
It was as if they were accustomed to such scenes.
The place where Xu Chuan and his group landed was within the territory of the Xuantian Holy Land.
It was the force behind Li Qinghou, whom Xu Chuan had killed, and currently the strongest force in the entire Central Region!
Its Holy Lord had been famous for a long time, leading the entire Xuantian with an invincible demeanor. Since then, he had remained reclusive, and no one knew his true strength to this day!
The Five Regions Grand Competition was initiated by the Xuantian Holy Land!
Just then, a rainbow bridge spanned across the distance, appearing beneath the Taiyi Holy Land's warship, lifting it.
Following this, the warship accelerated at a speed far exceeding its usual pace.
Soon, they arrived outside a magnificent holy land, within a colossal human city.
This grand, glorious holy land exuding immense power before them was the Xuantian Holy Land!
And this colossal city, many times larger than Taiyi City, was the Xuantian Holy Land's first city, Xuantian City!
This giant city alone was almost equivalent to half of the Taiyi Holy Land!
Before Xu Chuan and the others arrived in Xuantian City, forces from various factions had already gathered here.
These forces were from the four regions, and due to the long journey, they had all arrived in advance.
The forces from the Central Region had not yet arrived.
Firstly, their distance was not far, and they could reach here quickly.
Secondly, these Central Region forces possessed a sense of inexplicable superiority, viewing cultivators from the other four regions as mere natives, while considering Central Region cultivators as the true inheritors of Xuantian!
Therefore, they would naturally make their grand entrance last.
If only Xu Chuan knew their thoughts, he would have surely slapped them all!
With him, Xu Chuan, present, when would he ever allow them to show off like this?
As the Taiyi Holy Land's warship landed within Xuantian City, disciples or elders from the Xuantian Holy Land came to greet them.
However, when they saw Xu Chuan as the leader, their expressions were somewhat strange.
They had never expected that Xu Chuan, after killing Li Qinghou, would dare to come to the Xuantian Holy Land. Was he truly unafraid of death?
But these matters were not their concern, and they merely grumbled internally.
Besides, Li Qinghou was not well-liked within the Xuantian Holy Land; a large portion of people were displeased with him.
Within the holy land, Li Qinghou, relying on his talent and status, always acted superior.
He would even bully other disciples with his cultivation and status, truly embodying the role of a villain.
When the news of his death at Xu Chuan's hands reached the holy land, countless disciples had applauded and cheered.
After Xu Chuan and his group were settled, numerous divine lights streaked through the air.
These individuals exuded powerful auras, indicating their extraordinary nature at first glance.
However, they were not greeted by the Xuantian Holy Land and instead found lodging for themselves.
This suggested they were not here to participate in the Five Regions Grand Competition but merely to spectate.
Such scenes were constantly unfolding,
Leaving the ordinary cultivators within Xuantian City in awe and buzzing with discussion.
"There are so many powerful individuals attending this Five Regions Grand Competition, what a grand spectacle!"
"Of course, have you seen who is hosting this competition? It's the Xuantian Holy Land, respected by everyone in Xuantian!"
"It seems like all the renowned factions from the five major regions have sent representatives, right?"
"Judging by the situation, that should be the case!"
"This is a grand event. Even if one cannot participate in the competition, it's a great pleasure to witness these prodigies!"
"However, I heard it's not just for that reason. It's said that this Five Regions Grand Competition will involve the contention for a certain fortuitous encounter, which is why so many factions and so many powerhouses have traveled from afar to be here!"
"Is your information reliable?"
"Absolutely!"
"I'm truly looking forward to it..."
As countless factions and various powerful cultivators appeared within Xuantian City, discussions filled the air.
Their words were filled with anticipation and astonishment.
...
Not long after Xu Chuan and his group arrived, the other factions from the Eastern Region also arrived in Xuantian City.
The first to arrive was the team from Yaoshan Sword Sect.
Their mode of arrival was quite unique; they were traveling on an enormous flying sword.
The flying sword directly pierced through the void and appeared within Xuantian City, exuding an extremely powerful aura.
Xu Chuan glanced up and knew it was a sword at the level of a first-tier Emperor Armament.
It was even a bit stronger than the Silver Dragon Sword he had shattered before.
The one controlling this long sword was Xue Wuqing, the current Sword Son of Yaoshan Sword Sect!
At this moment, after intensive cultivation by the Yaoshan Sword Sect, his cultivation had reached a terrifying fifth level of the Heavenly King realm!
In terms of martial cultivation, he was now on par with Xu Chuan!
This demonstrated the importance the Yaoshan Sword Sect placed on him!
Xu Chuan did not recognize the leader of the Yaoshan Sword Sect's contingent.
However, judging by the aura emanating from him, he was also a martial artist whose cultivation was no lower than the ninth level of the Heavenly King realm!
Furthermore, due to being a sword cultivator, his combat prowess was even stronger than that of ordinary martial artists!
Xue Wuqing retracted the Emperor Armament sword, and under the guidance of an elder from the Xuantian Holy Land, his group proceeded to their resting quarters.
The moment Xue Wuqing saw Xu Chuan, intense killing intent and hostility erupted in his eyes!
His previous defeat at Xu Chuan's hands was the greatest humiliation of his life!
In fact, his martial dao heart was almost shattered by Xu Chuan.
After that, it took him a considerable amount of time to recover from that defeat.
He then entered the secret realm of the Yaoshan Sword Sect for arduous cultivation, finally regaining his confidence!
And today, he had come to participate in the Five Regions Grand Competition for one purpose only: to defeat Xu Chuan and wash away that day's humiliation!
Of course, he had also heard about the remarkable feats Xu Chuan had accomplished during this period.
But now that he possessed the fifth level of the Heavenly King realm cultivation, coupled with the Emperor Armament bestowed by the Holy Lord, he was confident that he could achieve what Xu Chuan had!
He was not weaker than Xu Chuan!
In fact, he was stronger than Xu Chuan!
