Chapter 1 Fifty Heavenly Prides

Fifty heavenly prides traveled north, heading straight for Immortal Sect City.

Each of them was full of ambition and had thousands of aspirations, waiting to write their own story in the Heavenly Pride Battle.

Of course, there could only be one protagonist in the story.

However, every heavenly pride was the protagonist of their own story!

The Zither Peak Master of the Earth Sect would naturally also go to Immortal Sect City, but she didn't fly with the group of heavenly prides.

That would be too demeaning.

Chen Xiao felt a little regretful. He really wanted to try that marrow-tasting feeling on this white jade tiger...

Hou Tu City was located in the central southern region, while Immortal Sect City was located in the central region of the entire Immortal Hidden World. The distance between the two was not the furthest, but it was definitely not close, a full twenty thousand kilometers.

Of course, for these heavenly prides riding flying magical treasures, twenty thousand kilometers was nothing.

However, flying magical treasures also had good and bad qualities, and the abilities of the cultivators who drove them also varied.

At first, it wasn't obvious, but as the distance increased, the gap became apparent.

The team of fifty people quickly divided into the first echelon, the second echelon, the third echelon, and even the fourth and fifth echelons...

And in the first echelon, there were only two people: the Holy Maiden of the Earth Sect, Li Miaozhen, and the Holy Son of the Earth Sect, Li Shouzhen.

Seeing that her Senior Brother Holy Son could actually keep pace with her, Li Miaozhen's eyes widened, as big as Su Meinan's.

"Senior Brother Holy Son, you can actually keep up with my speed?"

Li Miaozhen looked at Li Shouzhen, her wide eyes full of disbelief.

Although the two's flying tools were of the same level, with no difference between good and bad, the difference in their strength was a whole level.

Li Miaozhen originally thought that she could leave everyone far behind with all her strength.

Naturally, this also included her disappointing Senior Brother Holy Son.

But to her surprise, today's Senior Brother Holy Son not only seemed like a different person in terms of temperament, but even his strength seemed like it had changed.

Driving the white jade tiger, he kept pace with her, without falling behind. And the most important thing was that he actually looked nonchalant, calm and composed.

This was very strange!

"Is it difficult to keep up with you?"

Chen Xiao frowned and asked.

Not to mention keeping up with Li Miaozhen, as long as he wanted to, he could easily leave Li Miaozhen far behind with a little acceleration.

The reason he didn't do that was simply because he didn't know the way. He had to fly with Li Miaozhen, who knew the way!

"Asking the obvious!"

Li Miaozhen bit her small white teeth. "You're very strange. When did your strength catch up to mine?"

Chen Xiao wasn't worried about exposing his strength, because he had already thought of an excuse: "It's not that I've caught up with you, but that my strength has always been above yours."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Li Miaozhen was like an angry little kitten. "If your strength has always been above mine, then why do you always lose to me in every competition?"

Not only did he lose to her, but he was also so angry every time that he couldn't wait to kill her, but Senior Brother Holy Son didn't have that strength...

"Lose to you? Heh, that's just me letting you win..."

Chen Xiao chuckled and continued to act tough as Li Shouzhen. "Moreover, true strength should naturally be displayed at the most critical moment. I'm determined to win the championship in this Heavenly Pride Battle. Junior Sister Holy Maiden, you can compete with others for second place!"

"Tch... Compete for first place? You?"

Li Miaozhen rolled her eyes. "Senior Brother Holy Son, it's not that I look down on you..."

"Since it's not that you look down on me, then don't say the next words!"

Chen Xiao directly blocked Li Miaozhen's mouth.

Because according to international practice, after this sentence, people usually say something that looks down on you.

"You, what makes you think you can? I don't believe it. You must be talking nonsense!"

Li Miaozhen didn't have any hatred for Senior Brother Holy Son. She was just competitive and had always enjoyed suppressing Li Shouzhen over the years, forcing Li Shouzhen to suppress her with his status as senior brother. How could she tolerate Li Shouzhen being stronger than her?

"Don't believe it? Then let's have a competition!"

Chen Xiao thought to himself that since he was free anyway, he might as well have some fun with this stupid girl.

"Compete in what?"

Li Miaozhen asked.

"What else can we compete in the sky? Of course, it's speed, idiot!"

Chen Xiao gave her an idiot look.

"Okay, let's compete. Am I afraid of you?"

After saying that, Li Miaozhen's aura circulated, and the kite's speed increased by another level, instantly throwing Chen Xiao hundreds of meters away.

However, Li Miaozhen had to unleash all her strength to reach this speed.

Chen Xiao sighed and shook his head. "How naive!"

Then, with a casual acceleration, the white jade tiger let out bursts of tiger roars, turning into a beam of light and flying out.

Li Miaozhen only felt a gust of wind blowing past her. Before she could react to what had flown past, Chen Xiao had already left her far behind.

Li Miaozhen was dumbfounded. This speed was dozens of times faster than hers. When did Senior Brother Holy Son's strength become so strong?

Could it be that what he said was true? Had he been hiding his strength all these years?

Thinking of this, Li Miaozhen felt both resentment and shame. Thinking of her arrogant and domineering appearance every time she beat Senior Brother Holy Son, she couldn't wait to find a cloud to hide in and never come out again.

After a long time, she used a jade talisman to send a message to Chen Xiao: "Senior Brother Holy Son, you really didn't lie to me. Junior Sister is sincerely convinced, but have you noticed a problem?"

"What problem?"

Chen Xiao replied.

"You're going the wrong way."

"..."

In the end, although Chen Xiao won the competition, it was Li Miaozhen who arrived at Immortal Sect City first.

There was no other way. Sprinting wildly in the wrong direction meant that the faster you ran, the more wrong you were.

Within a hundred kilometers of Immortal Sect City, there was a no-fly zone.

Due to the influence of the rules of this world, various flying magical treasures would automatically land on the ground when they reached a certain range.

After Chen Xiao landed, he found Li Miaozhen looking at him with a smirk.

"Senior Brother Holy Son, you really didn't lie to me. You've really been hiding your strength all these years!"

Li Miaozhen said with a smile.

Chen Xiao glared at her unhappily.

"I thought you had been taken over by someone else. With your flying speed just now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you're in the Dao Harmonization Realm!"

Li Miaozhen said.

Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, thinking that this stupid girl might have guessed correctly.

But then, he heard Li Miaozhen say: "But I soon realized that I was overthinking it. Even getting the way wrong, only Senior Brother Holy Son can do such a stupid thing, hahaha!"

In Li Miaozhen's carefree laughter, Chen Xiao looked into the distance.

A hundred miles away, Immortal Sect City stood between heaven and earth, reaching the sky and the earth, magnificent and awe-inspiring, with supreme majesty...

"Junior Sister Holy Maiden, let's enter the city."

Chen Xiao ignored Li Miaozhen's teasing and said indifferently.

Li Miaozhen pouted. Senior Brother Holy Son had really become different from before, as if he had matured a lot.

If this had been in the past, he would have made a scene with her long ago.

Could it be that... the reason he did that was just to hide his strength and prevent her from becoming suspicious?

Senior Brother Holy Son, you're really patient!

Li Miaozhen felt that her guess was very reliable and had even more admiration for Senior Brother Holy Son.

Chen Xiao didn't expect Li Miaozhen to think so much. He had been worried that he wouldn't be able to imitate Li Shouzhen's idiotic personality and would be suspected, but Li Miaozhen had already made up the rest in her mind.

A hundred kilometers was nothing to a Transformation Void Realm powerhouse. It didn't take long for them to enter Immortal Sect City.

Compared to Hou Tu City, Immortal Sect City was more majestic and atmospheric. The city walls were much taller than those of Hou Tu City.

And Chen Xiao couldn't help but compare it with the modern metropolis in the secular world.

The final conclusion was that there was no comparison at all...

After all, one's economic level and urban appearance were still stuck five hundred years ago, while the other was a modern metropolis. The gap between the two was difficult to explain in a few words.

But corresponding to the urban development, the residents here were all exceptionally powerful beings.

Along the way, Chen Xiao didn't see a single cultivator below the Nascent Soul Realm on the street.

This also far exceeded Hou Tu City, and as for the first town he entered in the Immortal Hidden World, Zhenwu Town, there was no way to compare it.

"Senior Brother Holy Son, let's go inside and have a seat."

While Chen Xiao was leisurely strolling and looking around, Li Miaozhen suddenly pointed to a restaurant.

The name of the restaurant was "First Building," and it was bustling with people, with guests like clouds, very lively.

"Are you hungry?"

As soon as the words came out, Chen Xiao knew that he had asked a stupid question.

How could a Transformation Void Realm cultivator be hungry?

Li Miaozhen stuck out her tongue, thinking that she had wronged Senior Brother Holy Son. He was still as stupid as before.

"Senior Brother Holy Son, this is the First Building. Every time the Heavenly Pride Battle is held, the holy sons and holy daughters from all over the world will come in for a drink to get a good omen. You told me this. You don't remember?"

Li Miaozhen looked at Senior Brother Holy Son with a look of disgust, her expression exaggerated.

"Oh, I don't remember. After waking up yesterday, my mind was muddled, and I couldn't remember many things clearly."

Chen Xiao casually explained.

"No wonder Senior Brother Holy Son doesn't even recognize the way to Immortal Sect City! Alas, how pitiful. I don't have such sequelae!"

Li Miaozhen said with a smug look, as if she had finally won once.

"Okay, let's go in and get a good omen."

Chen Xiao didn't want to discuss this matter further and walked in.

There were no empty seats in the lobby on the first floor. After Li Miaozhen arrogantly revealed her identity, the waiter in the store directly took them to the second floor.

Privileges were everywhere, even in the Immortal Hidden World, it was inevitable...
