Soon after the Realm Monarch arrived, the officers, generals, celestial emperors, demon emperors, Heavenly Kings, and Realm Lords all returned to their positions. The core of the Lesser Void Heavenly Saint Realm was the infamous Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden was one of Realm Monarch’s favorite paradises and was also the location that the final competition of the Wei Shen Six Paths World would take place.
Not long later, Zhong Yue, Yu Bochuan, Jun Wudao, and others were led into the Imperial Garden. Along the way, Zhong Yue also saw the Qi Practitioners from the other realms who were also brought to the Imperial Garden.
The Qi Practitioners from the other realms are indeed exceptional! 
Zhong Yue looked at the other Qi Practitioners and thought, These Qi Practitioners possessed immense arcane energy, and have the six light wheels hovering on their back — they have all cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation!

There were only a few who had cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation in the Prison Realm, the majority of the Prison Realm cultivators couldn’t even open the Bloodline Wheel, whereas some of the fortunate ones were able to open their Bloodline Wheel with the help from the treasures in the Ancient Land of God Graves.
However, the Six Paths Reincarnation cultivated as such couldn’t be considered as the authentic Six Paths Reincarnation. At most, they could only be said to be cultivators who’ve opened the six Yuan Shen secret realms.


To truly cultivate the Six Paths Reincarnation, one had to reverse open the Dao Yi Secret Realm, and allow the Pan Gu Celestial Being to unite the powers of the six secret realms.
Even among the nine Qi Practitioners from the Prison Realm, only a certain few managed to do so, Zhong Yue, Jun Wudao, Li Tianxing, Yu Bochuan, and Shu Ye. As for Bi and An, Zhong Yue couldn’t tell as he wasn’t able to see through them.
Jun Wudao came from the Heaven Realm, Shu Ye was Heavenly King Shang’s disciple, Yu Bochuan clearly had a strong background that supported him, and Zhong Yue came from a different Six Paths World where the Ancestral Star was in. Hence, only Li Tianxing was really a Prison Realm Qi Practitioner who had cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation.
Whereas the 40 Qi Practitioners from the Earth Realm, Celestial Realm, Elemental realm, and Myriad Realm all had cultivated the Pan Gu Celestial Being sitting in the center of their light wheels!
The message that was portrayed was far too terrifying!
It meant that these four realms were far stronger than the Prison Realm!
Not only that, but Zhong Yue could also tell that many of them had innate spirit bodies. Especially the Qi Practitioners from the Earth Realm and Celestial Realm, all of whom basically possessed innate spirit bodies. In contrast, the other two realms only had a few of them, with the Myriad Realm having three and the Elemental Realm having two.
As he was observing the other Qi Practitioners, they were also looking over at the same time.
Suddenly, a Qi Practitioners smirked and insulted,
A human? Even a mere human could be listed as one of the Prison Realm’s strongest? But then again, that’s not really too surprising, is it? After all, the Prison Realm never could nurture a true expert.

A lady from the side shook her head and said,
That human is a formidable opponent. He was even given the title of The Godly Saber after he killed Wu Yangsheng of the Heaven Realm with just one swing of his saber. Other than King Geng, he is definitely the strongest in the Prison Realm. Don’t let your guard down. But that being said, other than him, the others from the Prison Realm are simply livestock waiting for slaughter.




These Prison Realm Qi Practitioners look despondent, did they give up after knowing the unbridgeable gap between their strengths to ours?

Li Tianxing, Jun Wudao, and the others turned a deaf ear to the other Qi Practitioners’ provocations. As their confidence had been blown to the ground one time after another by the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud, their battle will toward the other realm’s experts grew.
All of a sudden, another officer lead ten Qi Practitioners over. Zhong Yue glanced over and was stunned, Qi Practitioners from the Heaven Realm! How is that possible? I’ve killed the strongest of the Heaven Realm and King Geng slaughtered the rest. Where did they find these ten experts from?

He looked closely at the ten Qi Practitioners and was shocked again when he found them not much weaker than Wu Yangsheng. These ten Qi Practitioners had also cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation and had the Pan Gu Celestial Being in the center of their light wheels. Furthermore, they were all innate spirit bodies!
What was even more terrifying was that they were all from higher races that possessed incredible bloodline powers. Some of them even hailed from the royal races!
It was no wonder why the Heaven Realm was the strongest realm of the Six Paths World. They had actually screened through another ten formidable experts in just days! 
Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and calmed his mind.
When they reached the Imperial Garden, the officer led them to a plaza and left them there. Zhong Yue looked around and found the plaza to be incredibly big. Even the 60 Qi Practitioners only took up a small corner of it.
However, outside of the plaza in the sky, the plaza appeared to be incredibly small. The officers, generals, emperors, Heavenly Kings, and Realm Lords all surrounded the plaza. They were extremely huge, sized like a planet and was surrounded by godly rays that made them appear be grand and solemn!
The gods were different in size, some were smaller and some were bigger. The stronger ones were able to enlarge their bodies and among them, the largest in size was the Realm Monarch!
Realm Monarch of the Wei Shen Six Paths World, Helian Yunshan!


Zhong Yue looked up and saw the gods looking much smaller than the Realm Monarch. The goddesses around were holding on many auspicious treasures while a marvelous tree towered behind him.
Countless divine weapons of various forms hung on the tree branches, glimmering in godly rays while further boosting the tree’s immense aura. Moreover, the tree acted like a core that united the divine weapons, directing their overwhelming powers and guarded the Realm Monarch in the center.
How magnificent! Zhong Yue couldn’t help but praise, But no matter how grand Realm Monarch Yunshan appears to be, King Geng is far more approachable than him. In contrast, the Realm Monarch Yunshan is more like a perfected god devoid of the emotions.

A protocol officer then shouted,
All hail His Majesty!

All of the experts from all the realms immediately knelt and kowtowed to the Realm Monarch with the exception of Zhong Yue. When the others lowered their heads and bent their bodies, Zhong Yue stood unwavering with his heads high up in the air.
Li Tianxing, Yu Bochuan, and the others who had bent their knees suddenly stopped as well when they saw him standing still, and only Shu Ye, Yu Zhenming, and Shen Qi continued to kowtow.

How dare you not kneel before His Majesty!?
The protocol officer questioned.

The sinners of Prison Realm are doomed eternally, imprisoned for life not only themselves but also their descendants.
Zhong Yue casually bowed and answered,
But I have committed no crime that I should be adjudged to be one of the Prison Realm sinners. The world has denied my call for justice and the heavens have wronged me. And so, I will never kneel.

The protocol officer was infuriated but abruptly, Realm Monarch Yunshan’s voice came from the firmament,
The Qi Practitioners respect only the nature, our heart venerates the heaven and earth and not even the title of Realm Monarch can bend our will. It is fine, a bow is as good as kneeling. Be at ease, for I am also one who walked out from the Prison Realm.

The protocol officer then continued,
All greets the Heavenly Kings and Realm Lords!



At this point in time, the Qi Practitioners have stood up from giving their veneration to the Realm Monarch. They heard the protocol officer as well as Realm Monarch’s conversation with Zhong Yue. Thus, they didn’t know if they should kneel as told, or just bow like Zhong Yue.
But before they could make up their mind, Shu Ye has already knelt down and kowtowed to the gods. Rendered no choice, the experts could only helplessly kneel down and kowtow again.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue, Jun Wudao, and the few only bowed.

The competition invovled 59 candidates. Among the 59 of you lots, only 10 will be able to represent the Wei Shen Six Paths World. Now all of you, split into 10 groups with one of the groups having only five candidates. The six Realm Lords and four Heavenly Kings will be in charge of the following competitions. Only the victor of every group will be chosen. Death, surrender, forfeiture, or falling out of the arena will result in elimination. Hence, I advise you to carefully assess your own strengths and act accordingly. Good luck.
The officer then completed his briefing of the Qi Practitioners.
Then, he raised his voice and said aloud,
May the four Heavenly Kings and six Realm Lords spare us your palms as the battle arena.


The first group, Lang Feiyun of the Heaven Realm, Hong Gu of the Earth Realm, Shu Jin of the Celestial Realm, Qin Yang of the Myriad Realm, Gang Tianzheng of the Elemental Realm, and Shu Ye of the Prison Realm.


The second group, Jiu Yin of the Heaven Realm, Hua Zhenchuan of the Earth Realm, Gu Yunyang of the Celestial Realm, Dong Ku of the Myriad Realm, Ban Lu of the Elemental Realm, and Bi of the Prison Realm.


The third group, Ju Ying of the Heaven Realm, Zhan Nan of the Earth Realm, Yuan Yu of the Celestial Realm, Yi Qianhu of the Myriad Realm, Chang Shaofu of the Elemental Realm, and Li Tianxing of the Prison Realm.


The fourth group, Qing Hong of the Heaven Realm, King Xin Ling of the Earth Realm, Bai Tao of the Celestial Realm, Fu Shaojun of the Myriad Realm, Cultivator Pan of the Elemental Realm, and An of the Prison Realm.


The fifth group, Zhu Yu of the Heaven Realm, Si Mochou of the Earth Realm, Dao Guang of the Celestial Realm, Qian Zheng of the Myriad Realm, Jiao Ruyue of the Elemental Realm, and Jun Wudao of the Prison Realm.




The sixth group, Xuan Bin of the Heaven Realm, Dai Yuanji of the Earth Realm, Xuan Xue of the Celestial Realm, Zheng Yan of the Myriad Realm, Teng Kun of the Elemental Realm, and Zhong Yue of the Prison Realm.

…
Enormously huge palms were lowered from the lofty sky and stopped right beside the plaza. A grand voice laughed and said,
I am Heavenly King Fa, tasked with the first group. First group, come onto my palm.

Another peal of laughter followed right after,
I am Heavenly King Yu, the one in charge of the second group.


I am Heavenly King Bo, those of you from the third group are to come onto my palm.


I am Heavenly King Shang, those of you from the fourth group are to come onto my palm.


I am Realm Lord Hua, those of you from the fifth group are to come onto my palm.


I am Realm Lord Si, those of you from the sixth group are to come onto my palm.

The Qi Practitioners flew up and landed on the palms of the gods. Zhong Yue then abruptly flickered and his figure soon reappered at the tip of Realm Lord Si’s index finger. At almost the same time, the other five Qi Practitioners also landed on Realm Lord Si’s palm.
However, Realm Lord Si only had five fingers and there were six of them. Kun Teng from the Elemental Realm was a line slower than the others and he ended up in the center of the palm while the others were stationed high above him on the tip of the fingers.
Before the battle even started, Kun Teng was already at a disadvantage. His other five competitors were situated high above him and if they all attacked him, he would be exterminated in just seconds!
Thus, he would be the first to be eliminated when the battle started.
Kun Teng’s face changed slightly, he glanced around and finally fixated his eyes on Zhong Yue. Kun Teng laughed loudly and asked,
Senior Martial Brother Zhong, do you mind if I take your spot?

He stepped forward with the light wheels brimming in lights behind his head. Countless thick vines whirled out of the light wheels like dragons. Within the vines, there were also the insect race’s skills lurking in it!
Is he from the insect race? No, there is still the monster’s, celestial’s, and demon’s blood in him!

Zhong Yue was surprised, he thought, This Teng Kun is the mixed-blood of four races! He has cultivated the insect’s, monster’s, celestial’s, and demon’s cultivation techniques! I’ve only able to cultivate two types of cultivation at the same time, the celestial’s and demon’s. But this guy, he actually did it with four types of cultivation techniques! No wonder he is chosen as one to represent the Elemental Realm!

Zhong Yue closed his eyes, he gently placed one hand on the saber hilt and the totem patterns billowed out of his body, surrounding him in the center.
A clear din resonated the air as the divine saber was pulled an inch out of its sheath. Teng Kun’s pupils shrunk and the vines behind him abruptly launched to the front. The brandishing vines formed a barrier that stopped Zhong Yue’s saber will from hurting him while he retreated.

The Divine Saber, Evil God Zhong, Zhong Yue from the Prison Realm. You are indeed exceptional.
Teng Kun laughed loudly, he said,
It seems like Senior Martial Brother Zhong isn’t going to give up your slot. By the way, your saber is really a nefarious weapon, it’s brimming with killing intent. Then in that case, will Senior Martial Sister Zheng Yan give me your spot?

Zhong Yue opened his eyes and looked at Teng Kun, he was actually surprised that Teng Kun was able to remain unharmed from his saber will. It seemed like Teng Kun was indeed stronger than expected, at the least, he was stronger than Wu Yangsheng.
I wonder how strong the others may be?
