Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

2Three days passed very quickly. As one martial artist after another was detected, the plaza became a little crowded as they waited for the final result.    3

    

When the portal was about to close, Ye Qing left for a period of time. When he came back, his expression was heavy, and after he sat down beside Chen Yu, he whispered into Chen Yu's ear, "Chen Yu, the news of you still hiding a large amount of special spiritual energy has been spread, and many inner disciples are asking for your news!"    

    

Chen Yu felt a chill in his heart when he heard that.    

    

However, Chen Yu wasn't particularly surprised. In the Cloud Ridge, after Ye Qing pointed out the effects of the special spiritual energy contained in the wooden signboard, Chen Yu had been mentally prepared for such consequences.    

    

It wasn't that Chen Yu didn't think about directly using the Star Soul to absorb all the special aura, but he was worried that the Star Soul would have some sort of change which would cause him to be unable to hide the existence of the Star Soul in his body. Therefore, when Chen Yu passed the examination, he only handed over one twenty-spirit tablet, and the rest of the twenty-four hundred spirit tablet was still in his Storage Bag.    

    

"Also, Chen Yu, why was your Spiritual Soul not detected?" Ye Qing paused for a second and asked in a low voice.    

    

Chen Yu said, "I don't know either. During my test, I just followed the instructions to export a gale. There was no response from the arch!"    

    

"Up till now, it's said that no Spiritual Soul have been detected!" Ye Qing stared at Chen Yu and said: "This kind of thing is extremely rare among all the City Battle Trial in the past, it has already attracted the attention of the Law Enforcement Hall!"    

    

Chen Yu had four out of the five Spiritual Soul, so he naturally knew the reason. However, he couldn't tell Ye Qing Ming.    

    

This matter was obviously going to be a mess, but it would be difficult to figure out how to deal with it.    

    

In fact, Chen Yu was in a dilemma. He did not want to enter the Ruling Spirit Sect Inner Sect directly, but the matter of him possessing the Ice and Fire Soul Essence was already well-known, it would not be easy for him to get away with it!    

    

Furthermore, if he really could not get away with it, then it would be fine if he was found out that he had a Ice and Fire Spiritual Soul, but the problem was that the non-attribute Star Soul could also be exposed.    

    

If he knew that the test would be so easy after the selection, and that the Star Soul could not be detected at all, Chen Yu wouldn't have spent so much effort to fight for the Spiritual Soul. Of course, this thought was in his mind. If he didn't obtain the Spiritual Soul, Chen Yu knew that he might have died in the brutal battle between him and the disciples of the branch sects!    

    

"Now, even if I find the law enforcement disciple and expose the secret that I have the Spiritual Soul, I will still be repeatedly found out by an expert like Chu Zhengyan."    

    

Chen Yu felt a headache coming on. He turned his head and looked at the disciple inspecting the ancient stone arch. He saw another weak and dispirited disciple entering the arch to be tested. His eyes flashed.    

    

"The City Battle Trial has already been held hundreds of times, so it can be said that I have a lot of experience in Ruling Spirit Sect. Since we have set up this kind of arch to test it, then we have full confidence that we can detect the Spiritual Soul!"    

    

"However, when I'm here, even though I have five Spiritual Soul, none of them were detected. The only reason why there is such an outcome is because of the Star Soul! "    

    

"In other words, my initial fear of the Star Soul being discovered was a lot of things. Because of this worry, it has now become a little self-defeating!"    

    

Chen Yu found that he couldn't think of a good way to deal with the situation.    

    

Facing a sect like the Ruling Spirit Sect, a person's strength always seemed insignificant.    

    

Chen Yu could only hope that the Star Soul was so mysterious that it wouldn't be easily discovered.    

    

Since he understood all of this, Chen Yu could only take it one step at a time.    

    

Right at this moment, white-robed Law Enforcement Disciples appeared from the teleportation gate on the stage one after the other. Many of them were holding onto warriors from the City Battle Trial.    

    

The law enforcement disciples who had entered the secret realm to search began to withdraw from the secret realm.    

    

Three days of time was actually not enough time for all the warriors who participated in the City Battle Trial s to leave the vast secret realm. However, most of the warriors would calculate the time and rush to the teleportation gate in the center of the secret realm. If they couldn't make it in time or were unable to make it in time when they encountered trouble, they would be brought out as the law enforcement disciples were being searched!    

    

If there were still people left in the secret realm who had not been brought out from the search, they would only be trapped in the secret realm and would have no fate with the City Battle Trial's results.    

    

However, it was said that within a month after the end of the City Battle Trial, Law Enforcement Hall would still send disciples to search the secret realm.    

    

The appearance of these law enforcement disciples meant that the City Battle Trial was about to end and the secret realm was about to close.    

    

At this moment, Chen Yu, who was looking at the portal, was surprised. He saw the portal flash and another disciple appeared. In the hand of the law enforcement disciple was another person. That person was dressed in shabby clothes and had a dejected expression. However, Chen Yu was extremely familiar with that face.    

    

Lau Yinian!    

    

In Chen Yu's impression, Lau Yinian was dressed in white and had an extraordinary temperament. He never thought that he would be in such a sorry state. Furthermore, he was only brought out by the law enforcement disciples when the teleportation gate was closed.    

    

Soon, the last batch of martial artists that was brought out by the law enforcement disciples began to examine themselves. Most of these martial artists didn't have any wooden plates on their hands, and there was no response from the arch.    

    

Coincidentally, Lau Yinian also walked unsteadily towards the passage on Chen Yu's side. The last stone arch that passed the inspection was filled with a stream of Astral Energy.    

    

In a split-second, a wisp of white spirit light suddenly appeared and soared on the stone pillar of the arched door, extending all the way to the very top of the arched door. At the very top, the spirit light converged into the image of an ancient looking long sword.    

    

"Wah!"    

    

"Ah, Spiritual Soul!"    

    

"Someone has finally found the Spiritual Soul, and it's the last one to come out!"    

    

"Who is this guy?"    

    

"…"    

    

The square was instantly filled with exclamations of shock as countless people cast envious gazes.    

    

Every time the Ruling Spirit Sect was placed in a secret realm, the Spiritual Soul would always be above the standard. Although they might not be able to reach the Earth Stage, they would definitely not be worse than most of the Spiritual Soul in the Ruling Spirit Sect. Furthermore, a Spiritual Soul represented an inner disciple spot!    

    

Ye Qing and Gongsun Hao, who were beside Chen Yu, were also surprised. However, they did not show much envy on their faces.    

    

When Outer Sect disciples entered the inner sect, they had a chance to obtain Spiritual Soul s. Therefore, although entering the inner sect early was not bad, it was not very valuable for a person with a low status like Ye Qing, Gongsun Hao.    

    

Chen Yu stood up and split the crowd to greet Lau Yinian.    

    

After reaching Lau Yinian, Chen Yu brought Lau Yinian to where he was and the two couldn't help but have a long chat.    

    

After talking for a long time, Chen Yu finally found out what happened to Lau Yinian when he obtained the Spiritual Soul.    

    

After separating with Chen Yu, Chen Yu directly went to the Ancient Desert Palace, where he had a conflict with a lot of warriors who went to search for Spiritual Soul. After dozens of battles, due to his lost location and the constant sandstorms that could easily bury Heavenly Astral Stage practitioners, he was unable to find the location of the Ancient Desert Palace for a long time.    

    

After many other martial artists gave up, Lau Yinian finally clenched his teeth and persevered. He found the desert that was buried by the sandstorm in the vast desert by himself. In the labyrinth like underground ancient palace, not only did Lau Yinian have to threaten to kill the seventh stage desert scorpion, he also had to fight with other groups of warriors who had good luck and entered the ancient palace together. Lau Yinian narrowly escaped death several times and ultimately paid an extremely heavy price to obtain the metal attribute Spiritual Soul.    

    

However, because it took too long and he lost his way, Lau Yinian was unable to reach the portal in time. Fortunately, his luck was good and he was discovered and brought out by the law enforcement disciples a day ago.    

    

Seeing an old friend like this made him sigh emotionally.    

    

After Lau Yinian was introduced to Ye Qing and Gongsun Hao, the crowd chatted for a good two hours.    

    

Dang, dang, dang, dang    

    

Suddenly, a bell rang out. Raising his head, he saw two disciples carrying the bell on their fingertips, passing through the portal and appearing on the stone platform. They had rung the bell.    

    

The ancient bell had a deep and vigorous aura, and its surface was brimming with a brilliant light.    

    

"It's over. It's time for the results!" Ye Qing said.    

    

"Three days have already passed. I finally don't have to bitterly wait here anymore!"    

    

The thousands of martial artists that had gathered on the square and were participating in the selection all turned to look at the high platform.    

    

After the bell rang for twelve chimes, it stopped. The rune on the stone platform began to dim down, and the spatial fluctuations of the portal began to become unstable. The light also began to dim down.    

    

Whoosh whoosh!    

    

At this time, the cries of Spiritual Crane s could be heard coming from the horizon.    

    

Three flying Spiritual Crane rushed over. On the back of the flying crane, a few figures were standing. Their clothes were fluttering in the wind, and their imposing manner was soaring high in the sky.    

    

The thousands of warriors gathered on the plaza were in an uproar, many of them cried out in horror, shocked by the powerful aura of the warriors on the Spiritual Crane.    

    

"It's the Outer Sect Elder!" Ye Qing explained in a low voice to Chen Yu and the surrounding warriors.    

    

"They are here to receive the martial artists that have passed the selection?" Chen Yu asked.    

    

"Yes!" Ye Qing nodded.    

    

After flying past the plaza and arriving above the high platform, the eight warriors from the three flying Spiritual Crane floated down and stood on the high platform.    

    

The leader was over sixty years old, his hair was white, and his aura was imposing and powerful. He looked around the whole square, and wherever he looked, all the warriors could not help but keep quiet.    

    

This person was not inferior to Chu Zhengyan, he was clearly an expert in Profound Dark Stage. As for the seven people behind him, their auras were also deep and profound. Although their strength was obviously not as good as the old man's, they were still better than ordinary law enforcement disciples.    

    

The light from the stone platform had been completely extinguished, and the teleportation gate no longer existed.    

    

At this time, Chu Zhengyan led the three middle-aged warriors onto the high platform.    

    

After stepping onto the stage, a powerful aura surged out at the same time. It spread outwards, and was comparable to the sixty year old man.    

    

Walking up to the old man, Chu Zhengyan and the old man greeted him with their hands clasped in front of their chest without saying anything.    

    

"The City Battle Trial ends here, and the names of the top six hundred disciples will now be announced. Once the names of the practitioners have been announced, go onstage immediately, and do not delay any further!" Then, Chu Zhengyan looked around the entire square and spoke with a deep voice like a loud bell.
