The lengthy opening ceremony concluded.It was finally time for the main event.The first to speak was Elder Yang Zhengxin of the Qingshan Sect."I heard that Elder Ding of your Sect was punished by being sent to Siguo Valley for self-reflection, all because he disciplined a Disciple?""Elder Ding is my sworn brother, and I know his character very well. How could he possibly make things difficult for a Disciple without reason?""It must be that Disciple played some trick, leading to this misunderstanding!"Elder Yang Zhengxin's tone clearly held a hint of blame.He had a deep friendship with Ding Mingcang and had been bothered ever since he heard about the incident.Originally, another Elder was supposed to lead the Qingshan Sect Disciples for the exchange, but he insisted on the change.His purpose was to speak up for Ding ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Mingcang."With all the turmoil in the Qingshan Sect lately, Elder Yang still has the heart to care about the Lingxiao Sect's affairs. Thank you for your concern."Chao Wendao narrowed his eyes and replied with a feigned smile.His single sentence caused Elder Yang Zhengxin's Face to darken.He snorted coldly:"Hmph!""In the past, the Secret Realm for your Sect's competitions was always created by Elder Ding.""If today's Secret Realm doesn't meet Elder Ding's standard, I won't acknowledge it!"Ding Mingcang was the Lingxiao Sect's contemporary Formation Great Master.The core of the Lingxiao Sect's Sect-protecting Formation was his handiwork.According to Elder Yang Zhengxin, even if Chao Wendao personally took charge, he wouldn't meet his requirements.Chao Wendao smiled and said, "Regarding this matter, Elder Yang, you needn't worry. Our Sect has many Geniuses, and someone will naturally be responsible for the Secret Realm of the martial arts competition.""May I ask who? Is Grand Elder Chao going to take charge personally?"Elder Yang Zhengxin was determined to find fault with the Secret Realm to get Ding Mingcang out of Siguo Valley early.Even Grand Elder Chao Wendao had a noticeable gap compared to Ding Mingcang in constructing Secret Realms."Naturally not."Chao Wendao shook his head."Then who is it?""A Disciple of my Lingxiao Sect.""A Disciple!?"Elder Yang Zhengxin's eyebrows shot up sharply, and he secretly rejoiced."Which Disciple of your Sect can even create a Secret Realm?""Elder Yang, you misunderstand. It's not a Secret Realm, it's an Illusion Realm.""An Illusion Realm? That's still not easy. May I ask which True Disciple it is? Zhong Yi or Zhou Yue?""Neither." Chao Wendao smiled somewhat proudly. "It's an Inner Sect Disciple of my Sect.""An Inner Sect Disciple!?"Elder Yang Zhengxin was greatly astonished.The other Elders also exchanged glances, all thinking they had misheard."The Dao of Secret Realms is ever-changing. With the limited perspective of an Inner Sect Disciple, what virtue or ability does he possess to design an Illusion Realm trial for the Disciple representatives of our Five Great Sects?"Elder Yang Zhengxin sneered.He had been worrying about how to make trouble.This was simply a golden opportunity delivered right to his doorstep.Elder Yang Zhengxin's doubts were echoed by the other Elders.Throughout the world, many Secret Realms were hidden.They presented both opportunities and dangers.Some even contained many unknown peculiar rules.It was a tradition for the host Sect of each martial arts exchange to create a competition Secret Realm for Disciples to spar and exchange insights.This gradually evolved into a display of the Sect's strength.Whenever an excellent competition Secret Realm was created, it would be named after the Sect and circulated among future generations.Now, it was one thing for the Lingxiao Sect to replace a Secret Realm with an Illusion Realm.But the creator was merely an Inner Sect Disciple?What kind of propriety was this?Chao Wendao was not surprised by the reactions of Elder Yang Zhengxin and the other Elders.If he hadn't seen the two Illusion Realms Lu Ze had created consecutively, he wouldn't have believed it himself."Elder Yang, rest assured, our Lingxiao Sect never keeps idlers. Although this Disciple's cultivation is somewhat shallow, his attainment in Illusion Realms is probably something even you and I can't match!"Chao Wendao did not hesitate to praise Lu Ze."Oh? There's such a Genius?"Elder Yang Zhengxin was a hundred percent unconvinced."Elder Yang doesn't believe it? Hehe, Lu Ze!""Disciple is here."Amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, Lu Ze calmly stood up.Zhang Shifei, who was leading the group, looked at Lu Ze with immense shame and indignation.Just moments before, he had confidently told those around him that the Disciple Elder Chao spoke of must be himself.When Chao Wendao mentioned the Illusion Realm, he subtly felt something was off.Now, being slapped in the Face like this made him feel utterly disgraced, and he hated Lu Ze to death in his heart."Elder Chao... Is this the Inner Sect Disciple you mentioned who created the Illusion Realm?"Elder Yang Zhengxin looked at Lu Ze with immense derision, not bothering to hide his mockery.The other Elders also whispered amongst themselves, their eyes full of disapproval."Haha, hahahaha!"Elder Yang Zhengxin couldn't help but burst into laughter."Elder Chao, are you saying... a Disciple who just reached Foundation Establishment is going to create a competition Illusion Realm for the outstanding Disciples of our Five Great Sects?"At these words.Not only the Elders of various Sects, but even the Disciples who came for the exchange, their expressions turned incredibly ugly.Those who could participate in this event were all top talents.Even among Inner Sect Disciples, there were very few below the Golden Core Stage.Now,To have a Junior with the lowest cultivation create an Illusion Realm to "test" them?It was simply too preposterous!With a 'clang'.From the Qingshan Sect Disciple team behind Elder Yang Zhengxin, a red-haired True Disciple stood up."Forgive this Junior for speaking frankly! I cannot accept being tested by a Foundation Establishment Junior!"As soon as these words were spoken, a hundred responded.Many Disciples nodded in agreement."I think so too!""Although cultivation doesn't mean everything, in terms of perspective, a Foundation Establishment Disciple definitely isn't as broad as mine.""I've also studied Illusion Realm construction. Why don't I give it a try?""Your Lingxiao Sect is really looking down on people by doing this!"...The other Elders exchanged glances.The role of the 'black-faced' character was taken by Elder Yang Zhengxin; as fellow Sect Elders, the others found it awkward to continue pressuring.Finally, an Elder from the Tianxuan Sect stood up and tactfully said, "Elder Chao, I certainly believe the Lingxiao Sect produces Geniuses... but the Juniors' opinions cannot be ignored. How about your Sect nominates another candidate to complete this task?"Elder Yang Zhengxin quickly interjected, "Elder Chao, if you ask me, you should just invite Elder Ding back... otherwise, if this gets out, it's your Lingxiao Sect's Face that will be lost."After speaking, he curled his lips and pointed at Lu Ze with his finger:"Him? He can create an Illusion Realm?? And for True Disciples to be tested? Hahaha..."Lu Ze looked at Elder Yang Zhengxin with cold eyes.From another's perspective, Lu Ze naturally understood why these people didn't trust him.But this person named Yang Zhengxin was a bit too disrespectful.His style of speaking and acting was exactly like Ding Mingcang's!No wonder they became sworn brothers.Birds of a feather flock together!"Elder Ding, when he learned of this news, had the same attitude as Your Excellency."Lu Ze sneered, suddenly remarking.Upon hearing this, Elder Yang Zhengxin's expression instantly froze."What does that mean?"Elder Yang Zhengxin suddenly couldn't laugh anymore, his expression somewhat displeased."Literal meaning. Elder Ding didn't believe I was the designer of the Illusion Realm I created, so he made a bet with me... He lost, so he went to Siguo Valley."Seeing Elder Yang Zhengxin stop laughing, Lu Ze's lips immediately curled into a faint smile."So, Elder Yang, do you also want to make a bet with me?""You...!"Elder Yang Zhengxin was furious.He had volunteered to lead the team precisely to seek justice for his brother.Now that the main culprit was before him, how could he not be angry?What angered him even more was that Lu Ze's last sentence all but explicitly said he would send him to Siguo Valley for self-reflection too!Chao Wendao's Qi was constantly locked onto him, giving him "kind" reminders.Elder Yang Zhengxin couldn't erupt.Even if he did, Chao Wendao would surely protect his own Disciple.He could only endure.Looking at the composed young man, Elder Yang Zhengxin felt an inexplicable surge of irritation."Good!""Since you say you have the ability to create an Illusion Realm for Nascent Soul Stage True Disciples to be tested, then I shall see your ability!""But if you don't have the ability...""Don't blame this old man for being impolite!"
