574: Chapter 194_1 574: Chapter 194_1 All the Immortal Sects, even those from the smaller schools, were lanting the dominance of the Hundred Peaks Sect, as a rather large number of disciples from the top ten Immortal Sects had been eliminated by them.
However, as the grand tournant of the striving immortals continued, people realized they had been too quick to lant.
Following Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and Little Beiyan, Xiang Ziyu also eliminated his opponent, a contender from Thousand Caves Door.
Moreover, Xiang Ziyu didn’t even use a Divine Weapon from start to finish.
Not only Xiang Ziyu, but following him, Cao Zhen, Li Ke, and Lie Yan from Flying Immortal Peak all defeated their opponents and entered the top sixteen.
Throughout the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, with the exception of the disciples of the Grand Preceptor, almost all the masters had participated in the grand tournant, and with so many masters participating, nearly half of the top sixteen were from the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Even on the second day, as the top sixteen matches were about to begin, everyone was still talking about the strength of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
“The top sixteen, and the Hundred Peaks Sect has taken up seven spots!”
“This ti, the Hundred Peaks Sect has truly risen to prominence.
The whole world will know of their presence.”
“Out of all the Ten Different Phenona of Golden Elixir Great Perfection experts in the Hundred Peaks Sect, only Nie Jie was eliminated.
Once the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth arrives, who would dare to provoke the Hundred Peaks Sect?”
“Actually, Nie Jie is quite strong.”
In the Hundred Peaks Sect area, a group of disciples were excited beyond asure, their faces beaming with joy and pride.
This grand tournant of the striving immortals had them destined to be the greatest victors.
Of the many Immortal Sects in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, which one could be as dominant as the Hundred Peaks Sect?
Even the universally acknowledged strongest Immortal Sect among the top ten, the Divine Dao Sect, only had three disciples make it into the top sixteen, while the Hundred Peaks Sect had seven!
Among the crowd, Nie Jie from the Hundred Peaks Sect heard the discussions buzzing around and rubbed his head, which had begun to ache.
His headache did not stem from the fact that he went from being the number one figure of the Hundred Peaks Sect to the eighth.
His headache was about his master.
The only one among the Ten Different Phenona of Golden Elixir Great Perfection experts from the Hundred Peaks Sect to be eliminated and not reach the top sixteen was him.
Once back at the Hundred Peaks Sect, he would undoubtedly receive another lecture from his master.
However, upon returning, he wondered if his master would still be in slumber.
If his master was in slumber…
The thought of his master sleeping seed even more troubling.
As the Senior Disciple of Flying Immortal Peak, he would be temporarily in charge of the peak.
Having to take responsibility for so many junior brothers and sisters was an overwhelming thought.
Really, his master knew well that Junior Brother Lie Yan was stronger than him, so why not let him temporarily take charge of Flying Immortal Peak?
In fact, not just Flying Immortal Peak—many Peak Masters among the top thirty peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect were of the Earth Immortal Realm, and they would be going into slumber.
After they slept, their peaks would be temporarily administered by their disciples, and they had already arranged for soone to take charge of the whole peak in their absence.
The majority of them had chosen the strongest disciple in their peak to temporarily assu the role of Peak Master.
There were exceptions, though.
If the Senior Disciple was also extrely strong in cultivation, they might allow the Senior Disciple to take over temporarily.
After all, having strong cultivation did not necessarily an one could manage a peak well.
Those peaks lower in ranking would not be affected by this.
As the hour of Chen arrived, the Grand Preceptor also appeared atop the mountain.
Imdiately, Gu Chengyu flew out from the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect and landed below the only arena.
Today, he was responsible for officiating the debates.
Although Gu Chengyu was an Elder of the Hundred Peaks Sect and today’s matches would involve seven bouts with Hundred Peaks Sect disciples participating, the Grand Preceptor did not change his mind.
After all, an arbiter could not influence the participating disciples atop the arena, only announcing who would take the stage and who won, as well as maintaining the Formation.
As for anything else, there was no need for the arbiter to perform rescues.
Because in the grand tournant of the striving immortals, arbiters were not allowed to step forward and rescue anyone.
If one died on the stage, it was simply misfortune.
The most an arbiter could do was inform their own sect in advance about who would be facing whom next and the upcoming match-ups.
The Grand Preceptor would inform the arbiter of the match-ups in advance.
Gu Chengyu listened to the Grand Preceptor’s voice in his mind, devoid of any intention to share the advance knowledge of match-ups with anyone from the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Although today there would be seven rounds of matches and the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect knew their opponents in advance, naturally they could prepare and even tailor their strategies accordingly.
But he still wouldn’t say a word.
Because he was from the Hundred Peaks Sect, one of the top ten Immortal Sects, and they disdained to use such petty tricks.
To win, they wanted to win fair and square!
Gu Chengyu raised his head to look at the sun in the sky, sensing the arrival of the hour of Chen, and spoke in his usual tone, “The grand tournant of the striving immortals, for the top sixteen, the first battle, Xiang Ziyu of Hundred Peaks Sect versus Four Senses Child, the disciple of the Four Senses Elder!”
His voice was not loud, but with his Earth Immortal Realm cultivation base, everyone present could clearly hear him speak.
In the Hundred Peaks Sect, the faces of the disciples lit up with smiles upon hearing Elder Gu Chengyu’s words, but their expressions quickly froze.
Xiang Ziyu was going to face a disciple of the Four Senses Elder.
“This is troubleso.”
“Four Senses Child, only those who have mastered all four of the Four Senses Elder’s techniques are permitted to leave the mountain with that na.”
