A densely packed crowd filled up the underwater city.
Fang Xingjian and Luo Haonan cut across the sky above the Qiu Dao City and arrived in a large hall in the center of the city.
Over ten men and women were already waiting at the hall’s entrance. The Snake King’s disciple—Liu Ying—was one of the people standing there. Clearly, these over ten men and women were all disciples of the Divine level experts in the Qiu Dao Alliance.
Seeing Luo Haonan and Fang Xingjian land, all of them cast curious gazes toward Fang Xingjian.
They had long heard of this newly joined Divine level expert, but this was the first time they were seeing him in person.
A middle-aged man stepped forth and introduced himself,
Good afternoon, Sirs. I’m Huang Zaixing, Teacher Qiu Dao’s disciple. Teacher and the other five great masters have already arrived.


Haha, it seems that we’re late,
Luo Haonan said with a smile.
Zaixing, help me take care of the new disciple I’ve taken in.
He then looked at Ah Li and instructed,
Ah Li, have a good chat with your martial brothers and sisters.

Huang Zaixing replied,
Please rest assured. I’ll take care of Ah Li.

Ah Li nodded as well, but her expression seemed a little anxious. After all, compared to the other disciples who had been taken in for very long, it had only been a few days since Luo Haonan took her in as his disciple. Moreover, she had only just started cultivating.
After making arrangements for his disciple, Luo Haonan entered the hall together with Fang Xingjian. Concurrently, he spoke to Fang Xingjian through information currents,
Brother Fang, the few seniors might test your capabilities later on. After all, it’ll help in the fight against the Divine Emperor if they have an understanding of your capabilities.


I understand.
Fang Xingjian nodded.
This is reasonable.

After hesitating briefly, Luo Haonan explained,
Qiu Dao is easy to talk to. Most of the other five Heavenly Generals aren’t people who would create trouble. However, we have no idea what background that Snake King is from. He is obstinate and intractable, always seeing himself as the strongest expert under Qiu Dao and as the Qiu Dao Alliance’s Deputy Chief. Brother Fang, you’ll have to be careful of him.

Thinking of the Snake King, Luo Haonan’s heart twitched. Back when he first joined the Qiu Dao Alliance, the Snake King had been the one who tested him and beat him up severely, leaving him with not just serious injuries but also a trauma in his heart. This also resulted in his subordinates being unable to lift their heads before the Snake King’s subordinates.
Fang Xingjian nodded. Although he did not take Luo Haonan’s words as fact, the other party was giving him a reminder out of goodwill. So, He replied,
Thank Brother Luo for your reminder.

A few seconds later, an endless stretch of darkness appeared before the two of them. It seemed as if there was no light in the hall at all, and the space could not be seen clearly.
However, neither of them showed any hesitation. Taking a step forward, they entered into the darkness.
At the next moment, the darkness turned into light, and the two of them arrived in a space filled with radiance. Everything within sight was an endless stretch of white color, and six men and women stood before them.
Fang Xingjian’s gaze flickered slightly, and he felt that he had just passed through a series of distorted space. This should be a formation with the ability to distort space and the means to prevent most probing via electromagnetic waves and physical methods. Clearly, this was to prevent the Divine Emperor from probing when the Qiu Dao Alliance was having their meeting.
The moment Fang Xingjian stepped into the formation, the six of them seemed to be either curious or indifferent, or they were looking toward him with a judgemental gaze.
The six Divine level experts’ gazes had a compelling pressure that could send over ten elephant flyings. It was to the extent that even the air was slowly moving with their gaze.
Fang Xingjian naturally appeared very carefree, not paying much heed to this testing. This caused the many Divine level experts to each show different reactions.
Qiu Dao was a white-haired and white-bearded elderly man with an amiable appearance. He was like an old immortal in the legends.
He stroked his beard and said,
Fellow Fang, we have yet to meet despite the fact that you’ve been in this world for many days now. That was rude of me.

The seven Divine level experts in front of Fang Xingjian each came from different parallel worlds and had different cultures.
There were those who came from a modern society like Earth, those who came from a medieval society like the Miracle World, and those who, like Qiu Dao, came from an ancient China society and were like people who were cultivating to become immortals.
Another beautiful young married lady with smooth long hair, who wore clothes made from a thin translucent material and revealed endless sexiness, was the only female amongst them all. She was called Zi Xing.
Zi Xing chuckled and said,
There’s finally one who is rather handsome. I’ve been holding back so much looking at you repulsive people.

Hearing her words, even Qiu Dao smiled awkwardly. The cold-looking guy frowned and said,
Zi Xing, this is no place for you to act so presumptuously. If you want to spout rubbish, then do that after you return to the Tianhou 1
City.

Zi Xing threw a disdainful glance toward the Snake King, as if not caring to speak to him.
Seeing how she reacted, the Snake King appeared even more displeased. However, Qiu Dao laughed and said,
That’s enough, Zi Xing, Snake King. Don’t be making a joke in front of Fellow Fang.

He then looked at Fang Xingjian and said,
Fellow Fang, without the Nine-Tiered Heavens here, we have unable to attain a breakthrough all this while and have been cooped here for far too long.

He then started to introduce the other Divine level experts to Fang Xingjian. Other than Luo Haonan, Zi Xing, and the Snake King, there were three other men amongst the Six Heavenly Generals.
One of them wore a face mask and was completely encompassed in a layer of frost. He was like the legendary lich, and everyone called him the Ice Soul.
Another man was a middle-aged man with long hair who appeared ordinary, just like an old farmer who worked in the fields in the mountains. He did not seem to have anything special about him, and everyone called him Old Tian 2
 .
The last one was a kid who seemed only be over ten years old. He was blowing bubbles with chewing gum while speaking. However, there would occasionally be a stream of lightning flashing, and Qiu Dao called him Wan Tong 3
 .
In Luo Haonan’s introductions through information currents, Qiu Dao was the strongest amongst all of them, followed by the Snake King and then Zi Xing. After all, the Snake King was the second person to have come to this world while the third was Zi Xing.
The Ice Soul, Old Tian, and Wan Tong had arrived at about the same time, so their strength levels were very close.
The last ones were then himself and Fang Xingjian.
Zi Xing kept on assessing Fang Xingjian with curious glances, while Ice Soul, Old Tian, and Wan Tong nodded slightly and considered that as having greeted him. Their gazes carried more worry than curiosity. They were clearly very worried about the situation with the Divine Emperor and did not seem to have much expectation of a newcomer like Fang Xingjian either.
Throughout the entire time, the Snake King looked at Fang Xingjian with a judgemental and probing gaze, just like an interviewer meeting a graduate, wanting to assess his worth.
After Qiu Dao was done with the introductions, the Snake King looked at Fang Xingjian and said,
Newcomer, let’s have a spar.
