Chapter 428: The Change of Schedule

The time for the qualifying battle to begin had arrived, but the seat of the Imperial Extreme Sacred Region was still vacant. Feng Hengkong didn’t announce that the qualifying battle would begin there, but instead eyed the sky …… If the other three holy lands were late, he could choose not to wait, but the Imperial Extreme Holy Domain, he had to wait.

Without letting Feng Hengkong wait for too long, an old and calm voice came distantly from the sky at this time.

“Alas …… Mister Gu came late due to something, letting you all wait for a long time, very ashamed, very ashamed.”

The voice was ethereal and long, as if it came from the heavens. At the same time, a calm and pale aura descended from the air, enveloping the entire arena. This aura that was thick to the extreme instantly made people think of the ocean, the starry sky, and the abyss …… vast and majestic.

“Emperor!” In Yun Che’s mind, Jasmine’s voice that was slightly tinged with surprise was transmitted.

Yun Che’s spirit was immediately shaken.

Emperor! The person who came was an emperor!

It was already extremely unusual for the Holy Land to allow a Young Palace Master to come……. Why, would it even send an Emperor!

In the Tianxuan Continent, the Divine Xuan Realm was a mythical existence, rumored to be a dream realm that humans could not even reach. Jun Xuan realm, is this world’s pinnacle of the pinnacle, an emperor, is the entire Tian Xuan continent deservedly the highest monarch! And Empyrean Monarchs, too, only existed in the Holy Lands and Phoenix Divine Sect, and even in the Holy Lands and Phoenix Divine Sect, they were incredibly rare.

At this Seven Countries Ranking Battle, Yun Che was considered to have completely opened his eyes. Although they belonged to the same continent, this Divine Phoenix Empire and Cang Feng Country were like two completely different worlds. In the Cang Feng Kingdom, the throne was already an unsurpassable limit, whereas here, it was thrones everywhere, Hegemonic Emperors were rampant, and now an Emperor had actually appeared!

A figure, too, slowly floated down from the air at this time. This was an old man in a pale yellow robe, holding a duster, white hair and white beard, immortal style, gentle face, just like an enlightened immortal who was about to ascend.

When people from the other three holy lands arrived, Feng Hengkong just got up to welcome them, but this time, Feng Hengkong directly left his seat and quickly stepped up to welcome them, behind him, Feng Feiyan and the other elders also left their seats one after another.

Feng Hengkong quickly stepped to the old man’s body, respectfully saluted and said, “Late generation Phoenix Divine Sect Feng Hengkong, pay my respects to Ancient Cang Real Person.”

In the four holy lands, the Emperor was extremely honored. And the old man in front of him, in the Imperial Extremity Sacred Region, was a figure at the level of Supreme Elder, even if it was a Saint Emperor, they all had to be courteous to him. Moreover, all along, the Phoenix God Sect had the closest exchange dealings with the Imperial Extreme Holy Domain. Although it was not obvious, the Phoenix Divine Sect did always have the intention of leaning towards the Imperial Extremity Sacred Domain.

Gucang Zhenran was devoid of the might and stance of a Holy Land’s Great Elder, he flicked his dust, returned a salute, and said smilingly, “Mister Gu is late for some reason, it is really a sin, I hope that the Phoenix Sect Leader will bear with me.”

Phoenix Hengkong said, “What are your words, Real Person Gu Cang. Your old man personally came, is already my Phoenix God Sect great . Honor …… Oh? Late generation remembers that Real Person Gu Cang should have come with a disciple, why ……”

“Hehe.” Ancient Cang real person faintly smiled: “Ancient so-and-so is indeed brought a disciple to come, only to let him in witnessing the qualifying battle and explore the Taikoo Xuanzhou to be able to practice, do not want to think that, he in this divine Phoenix City encountered the old man, on the rush me this bad old man himself to come, heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.”

“I see. To be able to get Gu Cang Zhen Zhen to accept as a closed disciple, your disciple must have superhuman talent. Please, Real Person Gu Cang.” Feng Hengkong reached out his hand, signaling the seat of the Imperial Extreme Sanctuary.

As Gu Cang took his seat, Ling Kun, Night Singing Cold, and even Ji Qianru all stood up, and in a serious and respectful manner, performed a junior salute. This action caused Yun Che’s heart to stir. The status of the Ancient Cang Realist in the Imperial Extreme Sacred Region was evident.

All of the people from the Four Great Sacred Lands had also arrived, and the scene was quiet as this Seven Kingdom Ranking Battle had finally arrived at the time of the start of the battle.

With a glance from Feng Hengkong, Phoenix Grand Elder Feng Fei Yan flew up and flew all the way to the center of the arena, a majestic and loud phoenix chirping sound came out from him, and then, the heavenly flames exploded and flamed up, and it kept rising dozens of zhang in his body, so that all the gazes were firmly focused on his body.

Feng Fei Yan eyed the four directions and said aloud, “I, Phoenix Divine Sect Chief Elder Feng Fei Yan, am honored to meet the world’s heroes and young talents. On behalf of the Phoenix Divine Sect, I would like to thank all of you who have traveled from afar to visit Phoenix City. This is the thirty-ninth qualifying battle of the seven Tianxuan countries, which will be hosted by me, Feng Fei Yan, and witnessed by the honored guests of the four holy lands! Seven countries qualifying battle, every twenty-five years a session, for my Tian Xuan seven countries of the young jungles Xuan strength competition, the fame of Tian Xuan, promote the national prestige of the war ……”

“Wow! It’s actually the Grand Elder himself presiding over it. Hmm? That’s not right! Why is it the Grand Elder presiding over it?” Feng Zhan Yun said with a surprised expression. Obviously, he didn’t know beforehand that the Grand Elder would personally preside over this qualifying battle, and even if someone had told him in advance, he probably wouldn’t have believed it because in the past, the Seven Kingdoms qualifying battles were at most presided over by a lowly Elder.

“Could it be that there is some special factor in this ranking battle?” Feng Zhan Yun whispered.

Other than the Taishang seniority and Princess Snow, Feng Feiye’s position in the Phoenix God Sect was almost second only to Feng Hengkong, even the crown prince, Feng Ximing, had to be respectful in front of him. By him personally presiding over this session of the Seven Kingdoms Ranking Battle, even the few people from the Holy Land were slightly surprised. The audience in the seating area even closed their breaths and looked at Feng Fei Yan with a posture of admiration and respect, and the voices in their ears, the words were like thunder.

To be presided over by the Grand Elder himself, and to be presided over by an ordinary Elder or Hall Master, that was a completely different concept. People all vaguely smelled something strange from it. Sure enough, after Feng Fei Yan finished reading out his speech, he suddenly raised his gaze and pointed at the sky, “Everyone look up and see, yes, this giant shadow in the sky above, is the Taikoo Xuan Boat that appears once every three hundred years and hides an unknown mystery!”

“The Swire Ark has always been present in the dome of my Divine Phoenix City, and historically only my Divine Phoenix Empire has had the qualifications to explore it. But this time, the Sovereign is broad-minded and is willing to board the Swift Xuan Ark with his friends from the six countries to share the secrets of the Swift Xuan Ark. In this qualifying battle, those who rank in the top three will be able to pick three people to explore the Taikoo Xuan Boat with.”

Although it was the top three rankers, anyone would know that the first place would inevitably be the Phoenix Divine Sect without a doubt. Therefore, the people from the six countries who would have the honor of boarding the Swift Ancient Xuan Boat would only have a maximum of six people from the two countries.

“However,” Feng Fei Yan suddenly turned his tone and said, “Just a few days ago, my clan suddenly realized that the Xuan Seal at the main door of the Swire Xuan Boat was actually loosened ahead of schedule, which also means that the main door of the Xuan Boat will be opened four days earlier than budgeted!”

“Hm?” All of the several people from the Holy Land’s eyebrows twitched.

“Four days ahead of schedule? So, the Swift Xuan Ark will open tomorrow?” Night Singing Cold said in a low voice.

“It should be so …… No wonder it’s this Feng Fei Yan who is personally presiding over this session of the ranking battle, there really has been a change.” Ling Kun also whispered, “If I’m not wrong, this ranking battle, is going to end early.”

Feng Fei Yan continued, “My sect originally decided to start exploring the Taikoo Xuan Ark the following day after the qualifying battle ended, but this time, the Taikoo Xuan Ark will be opened earlier until tomorrow! The Swire Arcane Boat will only open for twelve hours at a time. It takes three hundred years to get these twelve hours, so naturally, not a single bit should be wasted! But I, Phoenix Divine Sect, will never go back on my words. Therefore, in order to jointly explore the Taikoo Xuan Boat tomorrow, the schedule of this qualifying battle will inevitably be drastically compressed …… need to decide the top three within today!”

Wow ~~~~

The moment Feng Fei Yan’s words came out, the entire arena was in an uproar. All of them listen to understand, the ancient Xuanzhou will be opened in advance …… and at the same time, this session of the qualifying battle, will be compressed in one day …… that is, within today to complete!

All previous qualifying battles, the schedule has always lasted for at least five days, never an exception. From the seven countries seventy top young strong competitors, each round has to circulate the battle, in the past, even if it is five days of the field, it is also full, but also often appear in the situation of the race period extension, just one day, it is simply impossible to complete.

Those who participate in the battle, as well as the emperors and overlords of various countries are all blistering in their faces …… The seven country ranking battle is a major event for the nation, and the result of its ranking relates to a country’s status and glory in the next twenty five years. In order to this ranking war, each country is a few years in advance to go all out to prepare, accumulated more than twenty years of exotic treasures are also in these years without stinting all the use of …… For those young participants, this ranking war, but also their performance of the highest stage, is the best opportunity for them to make a name for themselves! The original five day schedule if it is really compressed into one day …… the time for them to perform, will also undoubtedly be compressed by a whole eighty percent!

Such a contrast, they will not be willing.

As for the more than three million spectators in the entire arena who had gone to great lengths to get admission qualifications, they could have appreciated the peak battle for five whole days, but all of a sudden they were left with only one day, and they were naturally also extremely unhappy.

“No wonder the Grand Elder has to personally preside over it.” Yun Che muttered to himself in a low voice, “It turns out that the might of the Grand Elder is being used to suppress any possible chaos. If the race is shortened to one day ……” As he muttered to himself, his brows slightly twitched as an unpleasant feeling arose in his heart.

The hustle and bustle that erupted in the arena all of a sudden was expected by the Phoenix Divine Sect. Feng Fei Yan’s expression remained unchanged, and his voice steepened a few points higher, “Although the schedule has been forced to be shortened, please rest assured that this Battle of the Seven Kingdoms will still be absolutely just and fair! Even …… more just and fair than the previous dozens of sessions! It will be able to determine the strength ranking of the seven Tianxuan countries without any deviation!”

Feng Fei Yan’s words, let everyone a face of consternation …… race from five days compressed into one day, but will be more fair?

Feng Fei Yan continued, “In the past seven countries ranking battle, seventy young jungles fought in turn, competing round by round, and the final ranking, with the highest ranking rankings achieved by their own country’s participants. However, this ranking method, favoring the strength of a country’s top XuanShi, but in fact, the most can show the strength of a country, it is the comprehensive strength of a country’s participants. Therefore, this qualifying battle, will cancel the individual battle, changed to the group for the battle! For each qualifying match, all the Xuanzhengs from both sides of the battle must appear in full!

The arena was immediately filled with chatter and clamor. Yun Che’s eyes widened as he stared at Feng Fei Yan, whose face was cold and hard, and cursed fiercely:

Crap!
