The dazzling sword energy erupted continuously within the three areas of the Celestial Martial Arena.
In Sword Cloud Star, the swordsmanship was prevalent, with most practitioners being sword cultivators.
Even some cultivators from other celestial realms who had come here were also Swordsmanship Prodigies.
The battle in the Celestial Martial Arena was intense.
Surrounding the Celestial Martial Arena, various clans and powerful families from Famous Sword City were divided into multiple factions, all seated around, their gazes fixed on the arena, engaged in lively discussions, creating a bustling atmosphere.
"Good, my son Tang Chuan truly lives up to his name, sweeping through thousands of troops alone."
In one corner, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire sat confidently. Behind him stood several powerful cultivators, their eyes focused on the battlefield where the Mystic Immortal Realm experts were located. He nodded in praise, clearly satisfied.
This man was the head of the Tang family from Famous Sword City and was also a peak expert in the Celestial Mansion Realm.
Although his strength was slightly inferior to Wenshan Family's Wenshan Chuyan, he was still considered one of the top experts in Famous Sword City.
At this moment, on the Celestial Martial Platform, a handsome young man stood with his sword held high. Countless Mystic Immortal Realm experts found it difficult to approach him.
Anyone who dared to come close was swiftly repelled, and dozens of Mystic Immortal Realm experts had already been swept out by him.
His dominance was overwhelming.
This person was none other than Tang Chuan, the son of the Tang Family Head.
Ximen Piaopiao, Wu Qiuyang, and Heng Yuzhu formed a small group, standing together in a triangular formation, protecting each other's backs. They were equally fierce, forcing back the powerful cultivators from the Mystic Immortal Realm who sought to eliminate them.
"Early stage, mid stage, late stage, peak—it's a chaotic melee, like a mixed stew. Ximen Piaopiao and her companions are bound to suffer quite a bit."
It was clear that there was no fairness for those with weaker cultivation levels.
However, Ye Fan understood that there was little fairness to be found in this world.
Of course, even if one's cultivation was low, if they could unleash powerful strength and potential, the higher-ups of the Famous Sword Sect would not overlook such a Heavenly Prodigy.
Thus, Ye Fan had no worries about whether Ximen Piaopiao, Wu Qiuyang, and Heng Yuzhu would be able to enter the Famous Sword Sect.
Yet on the battlefield of the Mystic Immortal Realm, Ye Fan noticed a peculiar phenomenon.
Amidst the chaos of battle all around, there stood a young man who appeared to be just over twenty years old. He seemed like an observer, standing in a corner.
With a smile on his face and an elegant demeanor, he watched as nearly a thousand people engaged in combat around him, seemingly unaffected by it all.
He did not intervene, yet no one dared to approach him either.
This was indeed quite strange!
Ye Fan smiled lightly, sensing that this young man's strength or background must be considerable.
"Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!"
Above the Celestial Martial Arena, terrifying rumbling sounds erupted continuously, with sword energy crisscrossing in the air.
However, at the onset of the battle, an invisible layer of energy had already enveloped the Celestial Martial Arena.
No matter how intense the fighting became above the Celestial Martial Arena, this energy would not dissipate.
As time passed, the battle gradually subsided.
Soon, whether in the Ascension Realm area, the Celestial Realm area, or the Mystic Immortal Realm area, all fighting came to a halt.
Survival of the fittest had determined the outcome; each realm was left with only a hundred participants.
Wu Mo stepped forward once more, his gaze fixed on the Celestial Martial Arena. A faint smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "The Famous Sword Festival has produced the top hundred in each realm. Congratulations to all!"
"Next comes the top hundred competition. Each realm will be divided into ten groups, with ten participants in each group competing. The winner from each group will become one of the top ten in that realm. Those who make it into the top ten will have the opportunity to join one of my Famous Sword Sect's Three Great Sword Halls and be personally guided in swordsmanship by the Celestial King."
"As for who will compete in each group, while everyone rests, I will arrange for someone to write numbers 1 through 10 on bamboo slips. You will draw a slip to determine your group until each group has ten participants."
"Does everyone understand?" After explaining the rules, Wu Mo looked at the crowd in the Celestial Martial Arena and asked with a smile.
"Understood!"
A loud response echoed instantly from the Celestial Martial Platform.
Wu Mo nodded in satisfaction and then stepped back.
Soon, everyone on the Celestial Martial Arena began to descend.
Ximen Piaopiao, Wu Qiuyang, and Heng Yuzhu approached Ye Fan with cheerful expressions.
"Congratulations on making it into the top hundred," Ye Fan said with a smile as he looked at the three of them.
Heng Yuzhu and Wu Qiuyang also smiled and nodded at Ye Fan. Being able to enter the top hundred meant they qualified to enter the Famous Sword Sect, which made them quite pleased.
As for the top ten...
They were merely Mid-Level Celestial Immortals in their cultivation and had never even considered that.
Ximen Piaopiao understood this as well, so she casually remarked, "What does the top hundred matter? My goal is the top ten. Only by making it into the top ten can I have a chance to join one of the Three Great Sword Halls of the Famous Sword Sect, specifically the Sword King's Palace."
"Difficult!" Wu Qiuyang said bluntly, "Among these top hundred, there are many with Profound Immortal Late Stage cultivation, and even a few at Transcendent Peak. If you want to break into the top ten, I think it will be as hard as climbing to the sky."
"Exactly." Heng Yuzhu glanced at the two individuals descending from the Celestial Martial Arena and said, "Did you see that person? I heard he seems to be Tang Chuan, the young master of the Tang family from Famous Sword City. His strength is at the late stage of Mystic Immortal Realm, incredibly powerful. Even when facing strong opponents at Transcendent Peak, he can still hold his own."
"By the way, especially that one, did you see him?" Heng Yuzhu pointed to another person.
Ximen Piaopiao looked over and couldn't help but show a hint of seriousness.
Ye Fan realized that this person was the young man who had not made a move throughout the entire event at the Celestial Martial Arena.
"Who is this young man?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
Heng Yuzhu replied, "Just now at the Celestial Martial Arena, a strong individual at Transcendent Peak wanted to attack him, but he was dissuaded by the person next to him. I overheard their conversation. This person is Wenshan Zhensong, the Young Master of Wenshan Family from Famous Sword City, and he is at Transcendent Peak in cultivation."
"And..."
"At Transcendent Peak, he is considered unbeatable; so far, he has only been defeated by one person!" Ximen Piaopiao added, completing what Heng Yuzhu was saying.
It was clear that he had also heard their discussions above the Celestial Martial Arena.
"So it's him!" Ye Fan glanced at the young man who had already returned to the Wenshan camp.
Curiously, he said, "With such exceptional talent, I wonder who could possibly defeat him."
"Xiao Xian," Ximen Piaopiao and Heng Yuzhu spoke simultaneously. "The current senior brother of Famous Sword Sect, Xiao Xian."
