The Heaven-Covering Array is Useless!

Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er headed to the selection battle site at Tianxuan Peak.

"Junior Brother Qin!"

On the way, they encountered Feng Linglong, Feng Ao, and others.

Feng Linglong, her face beaming with joy, quickly approached Qin Yi and said, "I never expected you to make it to this year's Heavenly Star Competition! Let's work together to secure a spot and represent Tianxuan Peak against the other six peaks' prodigies!"

Yun Meng'er immediately said, "Senior Sister Feng's wind spirit root has transformed into a top-grade spirit root, and Senior Sister Feng now possesses the first level of the Cave Heaven Realm cultivation. I believe securing a spot will be no problem at all."

Feng Linglong smiled and said, "Junior Sister Meng'er always has such a pleasant voice."

Yun Meng'er said, "I believe that Brother Qin will definitely be able to secure a spot as well."

Feng Linglong nodded and said, "I believe it too!"

A moment later, the group arrived at a huge martial arts arena next to Tianxuan Peak.

The surrounding area was already packed with people.

Han Wei, the grandson of the Grand Elder of Tianxuan Peak, arrived here with his men at almost the same time as Qin Yi and his group.

Han Wei stared coldly at Qin Yi and said, "Boy, you will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Qin Yi nodded and said, "You will pay the price for your ignorance!"

Han Wei snorted coldly and said, "When you fail, I really hope I can still see your arrogant and unruly side!"

At this moment, a handsome young man standing next to Han Wei looked at Feng Linglong and said, "Princess, your identity is special, and there is no possibility of easing the enmity between Qin Yi and the Qin family."

"You are well aware of the relationship between the Qin family and the Great Xia royal family. I advise you not to get too close to them anymore."

"Otherwise, if it ultimately leads to war between the Great Wind Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty, can you bear the consequences?"

"Song Gui, watch your tone! You have no right to criticize my sister's actions!" Feng Ao shouted angrily.

The young man named Song Gui smirked and said, "After years of cultivation at Tianxing Martial Academy, the Seventh Prince is still so reckless and ignorant. I imagine the Wind Emperor must be very disappointed in you."

"You..." Feng Ao's face turned ashen.

Feng Linglong raised her arm and stood in front of Feng Ao.

She looked at Song Gui.

An aura of authority emanated from her.

"Song Gui, you still won't bow before Princess Dafeng and the prince?"

"The Song family of Dingfeng Prefecture, as subjects of Dafeng, do not take the royal family of Dafeng seriously."

"Is this your personal action, or the attitude of the Song family?"

Song Gui's expression hardened, his face changing repeatedly, but in the end, reluctantly, he cupped his hands and bowed to Feng Linglong and Feng Ao.

Then, the two groups separated, passed through the crowd, and arrived at the edge of the training ground.

Qin Yi, somewhat curious, asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister Feng, Senior Brother Feng, what's the deal with that Song Gui?"

Feng Ao snorted coldly and said, "This person is a genius from the Song family of Dingfeng Prefecture in the Great Wind Dynasty."

"Dingfeng Prefecture wields immense influence in our Great Feng Dynasty. Originally, our royal family could have firmly suppressed Dingfeng Prefecture, but..."

Before Feng Ao could continue speaking...

Feng Linglong then spoke:

"This Song Gui is one of the people of our Tianxuan Peak's Grand Elder. Currently, he is the highest-level ordinary disciple among those who have joined Tianxuan Peak for no more than three years. He entered the third level of the Cave Heaven Realm seven days ago."

"But even if he participates in the Tianxing Grand Competition, regardless of his strength, he will definitely not go all out in the end."

"Because, as long as no one from Tianxuan Peak enters the top three of the competition, Palace Master Mu will have to step down. At that time, the person who will succeed Palace Master Mu as the Lord of Tianxuan will be the Grand Elder."

She interrupted Feng Ao before she could say anything.

Then he glanced at Feng Ao, who was about to speak again.

Feng Ao quickly shut his mouth.

Since Feng Linglong was unwilling to discuss the internal affairs of the Great Feng Dynasty, Qin Yi did not press the matter. He nodded and said, "Whether the Grand Elder's people will go all out in the Heavenly Star Competition is not important."

"I'll be in the top three!"

"Moreover, my goal is to win first place for Tianxuan!"

At this moment, an invisible radiance of confidence emanated from Qin Yi.

It seemed as if the first place in the Heavenly Star Competition was already his for the taking, and no one else could possibly claim it!

After a while.

Mu Wan, the master of Tianxuan Peak, along with a silver-haired old man, led a group of Tianxuan Peak experts as they flew over and landed on the high platform directly east of the martial arts arena.

Mu Wan and the silver-haired old man sat side by side in the front row.

The rest of the people sat behind the two of them, arranged in three rows according to their status, position, and cultivation level.

As Qin Yi looked at Mu Wan on the high platform, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the kindness Mu Wan had shown him, every little thing a selfless act of kindness.

The words Liu Yan had said to him still echoed in his ears.

Mu Wan's gaze swept across the crowd, then she looked directly at Qin Yi without any hesitation, and nodded to him from a distance.

Beside him, the silver-haired old man was Han Donglin, the Grand Elder of Tianxuan Peak.

Han Donglin smiled faintly and said, "Palace Master Mu, do you think Qin Yi, who possesses the foundation of a Golden Core cultivator, can secure one of the five spots for our Tianxuan Peak by merely barely meeting the qualification requirements for the selection battle?"

Mu Wan said, "Yes."

"Is Palace Master Mu so sure? Does he have so much confidence in him?" Han Donglin maintained his smile.

Mu Wan said, "Elder, just wait and see."

"Wait and see?" A hint of coldness appeared in Han Donglin's smile as he said, "Although this boy is talented, he is impetuous and has been reckless in his cultivation. Even with a low-grade Golden Core, his foundation is probably already quite unstable."

Mu Wan said, "I remember when Senior Brother Qin Dao participated in the Heavenly Star Competition, the Grand Elder was not optimistic about him either. But in the end, Senior Brother Qin Dao's sword suppressed the geniuses of the other six peaks so much that they couldn't even raise their heads."

"By the way, back then, the First Elder's son, Han Yue, lost to Senior Brother Qin Dao in the selection battle at Tianxuan Peak, and didn't even get the qualification to participate in the Tianxing Grand Competition."

"This matter happened quite some years ago. I wonder if I've made any mistakes in what I said?"

At this time.

Han Donglin's face was extremely ugly.

"Palace Master Mu, my loss to Qin Dao back then was just a moment of carelessness!" A middle-aged man sitting behind Mu Wan and Han Donglin said angrily.

This man is Han Yue, the son of Han Donglin and father of Han Wei. He also holds the title of elder on Tianxuan Peak.

"A moment of carelessness?" Mu Wan scoffed, showing no mercy, and said, "Some people broke the rules and took potential-enhancing pills in advance, but they still lost to Senior Brother Qin Dao in the end. Do you think I didn't know that?"

"Palace Master Mu, so much time has passed. You are saying these things now without any evidence. As the head of a palace, is it appropriate for you to make such a statement in this situation?" Elder Han Donglin's voice was icy.

Mu Wan said, "I'm saying this only to warn everyone present that it's best to abide by the rules and act according to the rules during the selection process. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Mu Wan did not muffle her voice during these conversations, so everyone present could hear them clearly.

Qin Yi's expression was somewhat complicated.

did not expect.

His own father had a grudge against the Han family of Tianxuan Peak back then.

Han Wei, on the other hand, was seething with anger.

Mu Wan was belittling his father and warning his grandfather. At this moment, he couldn't wait to take action to suppress Qin Yi and wash away the shame of his father's defeat to Qin Yi's father!

At this time.

Mu Wan looked at Han Donglin and said, "It's almost time, Elder, you can announce the start."

Although Han Donglin was very unhappy, he still had to do what he had to do.

He stood up and said, "This time, Tianxuan Peak has a total of 470 disciples who have registered to participate in the Tianxing Grand Competition!"

Ultimately, only five people will qualify to participate in the Heavenly Star Competition.

"Next, the first round of selection will begin. The Heaven-Covering Array will be activated in the training ground."

"If you can withstand the Heaven-Covering Array for one hour, you will pass the first round of selection!"

"All those who have registered, begin your martial arts performance immediately!"

As Han Donglin finished speaking.

One by one, figures leaped up and stepped onto the training ground.

"Junior Brother Qin, let's go!" Feng Linglong looked at Qin Yi.

Feng Ao: "Sister, I'm still here for you."

Feng Linglong: "You're just here to join in the fun."

Feng Ao: "..."

"Go, Brother Qin!" Yun Meng'er cheered for Qin Yi.

Qin Yi nodded to Yun Meng'er, then looked at Feng Linglong and Feng Ao, and the three of them flew up to the martial arts arena together.

After all 470 people had entered the training ground...

"boom!"

A thick array of spiritual light suddenly erupted, enveloping the training ground.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the training ground felt an incredibly powerful force pressing down on them.

Qin Yi remained calm, his gaze indifferent.

This pressure is nothing to him!
