Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 591: Chapter 591: A Saint Realm Cannot Possibly Pass the First Round

“`

“Alright,” Yang Xiaotian didn’t hesitate, and immediately flew at extreme speed towards the Peng Family with Peng Long.

Zhongtian Continent is immensely vast, fortunately, the Peng Family’s main residence is not far from here, with their speed, they should be able to get there in two days.

Just as Yang Xiaotian and Peng Long were flying to the Peng Family’s main residence, in the grand hall of the residence, all the Divine Spirit Realm ancestors had gathered together.

Patriarch Peng Hui scanned the crowd and said, “I suppose everyone understands the importance of the upcoming Battle for Godhood. Tomorrow, I will open the Divine Land’s restrictions and let Peng Lin, Peng Fei, and the other ten people enter for cultivation.”

Peng Lin and Peng Fei are indeed the most talented and powerful younger generation disciples of the Peng Family under a thousand years old.

Especially Peng Lin, whose talent has surpassed all previous Divine Sons of the Peng Family.

Hearing that the family leader wants to open the Divine Land for Peng Lin and ten others to cultivate, the ancestors naturally had no objections.

“Peng Lin will be the hope of our Peng Family, this Battle for Godhood will be the chance for our Peng Family to rise!” Patriarch Peng Hui’s face was solemn. “I hope everyone can bring out all the resources they have, to fully enhance the strength of Peng Lin and the others before the Battle for Godhood.”

Just as Peng Hui was speaking, a Supreme Elder rushed in excitedly and with exhilaration, “Patriarch, Ancestor Peng Long has returned!”

“What?” Peng Hui was momentarily unable to react.

After all, Peng Long had been away for a million years.

“It’s Ancestor Peng Long, he has returned!” the Supreme Elder repeated excitedly and with excitement.

This time, Peng Hui and the other elders of the Peng family finally heard clearly.

Peng Hui shot to his feet, his voice trembling, disbelieving, “You’re saying, my big brother has come back?!”

After a million years, Big Brother had finally returned.

“Yes, Ancestor Peng Long has returned, he’s right outside!” the Supreme Elder said, wiping tears away in his excitement.

Upon hearing this, Peng Hui didn’t hesitate any longer, and with the Peng Family’s elders and ancient ancestors, he rushed out in a swarm.

Reaching the main gate of the Peng Family’s residence, Peng Hui saw a tall figure, and looking at this familiar form, his eyes reddened, he dashed forward in a few quick strides.

“Big brother! It’s really you, you’ve come back!” Peng Hui approached Peng Long, trembling with excitement as he grasped Peng Long’s arms.

After a million years, Peng Long looked at Peng Hui in front of him, also overcome with emotion, “I’ve returned! How is father faring?”

“Father and the ancient ancestors are all well!” Peng Hui said excitedly, “Father and the ancient ancestors have always been thinking of you, they would be overjoyed to know you’ve come back.”

“And who is this?” Peng Hui turned his gaze towards Yang Xiaotian.

Peng Long hurriedly said, “Second brother, this is my friend, Young Master Yang!” Since they had arrived in the Zhongtian Continent, the title of His Majesty was no longer suitable, so Yang Xiaotian had Peng Long address him as Young Master Yang.

Friend?

Peng Hui was astonished; he had assumed the young man was his big brother’s disciple.

What status did his big brother have to recognize a young man as a friend?

“I have seen Patriarch Peng.” Yang Xiaotian greeted with a fist and palm salute.

Peng Hui nodded with a smile, and although he was curious about Yang Xiaotian’s identity, he didn’t ask further. He smiled at Peng Long, “Big brother, your return is timely. The Heavenly Court is going to hold the Battle for Godhood, and His Majesty Heavenly Emperor wants to select Direct Disciples and heirs through the Battle for Godhood!”

“This is a great opportunity for our Peng Family to rise!”

“You don’t know, the Divine Son of our Peng Family’s current generation, Peng Lin, has talent even better than yours back in the day!”

“He has a chance to be chosen by His Majesty Heavenly Emperor!”

“`

Then he took Peng Long towards the great hall.

Upon hearing this, Peng Long couldn’t help but give a wry smile, because he knew that as long as Yang Xiaotian was present, even the most powerful and terrifying Divine Sons would be useless.

Peng Hui saw the look on Peng Long’s face and, thinking that Peng Long didn’t believe him, laughed and said, “Big brother doesn’t believe it? In a moment, I’ll have Peng Lin come over, and then you’ll know how astonishing Peng Lin’s talent really is.”

Suddenly, Peng Long spoke up, “Second brother, where are father and the Ancient Ancestor now? I would like to meet with father and the Ancient Ancestor.”

Peng Hui was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, “Good! I’ll take you to see father and the Ancient Ancestor right now.”

Afterward, Peng Long arranged for Yang Xiaotian to stay in the best palace of the Peng Family.

“The best palace?” The Supreme Elder was astonished.

Generally speaking, the best palaces of the Peng Family were reserved only for Sect Masters and family heads of the major superpowers of the Zhongtian Continent.

Peng Hui was also surprised, but then said to the Supreme Elder, “Follow my big brother’s instructions and arrange the best palace for this Young Master Yang.”

Only then did the Supreme Elder take his leave to carry out the task.

Afterward, Peng Hui took Peng Long to meet the Peng Family’s Ancient Ancestor and their father.

On the way, Peng Hui couldn’t help but ask, “Big brother, is this young man of great importance?”

Peng Long nodded and said, “I came to see father and the Ancient Ancestor precisely to ask them to allocate all resources of our Peng Family to fully support Young Master Yang.”

“What!” Upon hearing this, Peng Hui was shocked and surprised; he had not expected his big brother to return and immediately seek to have the Ancient Ancestor and their father allocate all resources of the Peng Family to support that Yang-surnamed youth.

“Big brother, that’s impossible!” Peng Hui shook his head and said, “The Ancient Ancestor and father will never agree.”

Let alone the Ancient Ancestor and father, none of the members of the Peng Family would agree to allocate all resources to support someone from outside the family.

Evening time.

Yang Xiaotian was in the palace arranged by the Peng Family, comprehending the Black Dragon God Sword, when he overheard Peng Family disciples passing by outside discussing.

“I really don’t know what the Ancestor was thinking, actually asking the Ancient Ancestor to use all of the Peng Family’s resources to cultivate that Yang-surnamed youth!”

“Moreover, this Yang-surnamed youth is only at the Saint Realm!”

“In this Godly War of Ascension that our Peng Family disciples are taking part in, which one of them isn’t at the Divine Spirit Realm? A Saint Realm contestant in the Godly War of Ascension won’t possibly make it through the first round!”

Because the rules of this Godly War of Ascension allowed anyone under a thousand years to participate, nearly thirty percent of the genius disciples taking part were above the Divine Spirit Realm.

Thus, it was almost impossible for someone at the Saint Realm to pass the first round of assessment.

Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained unchanged.

A while later, Peng Long came to see Yang Xiaotian with a somewhat dejected expression. He was about to speak when Yang Xiaotian shook his hand and smiled, “Elder, I already know about the matter. There’s no need for you to feel guilty.”

In fact, when he came to the Peng Family, he had never thought of relying on the Peng Family’s resources for his cultivation.

Peng Long nodded and said, “Just now, the Heavenly Court announced that there will be preliminary selections based on each Empire; only the top ten of each Empire can go to the Heavenly Court to participate in the Godly War of Ascension!”

That is to say, if one does not obtain the top ten ranking within their Empire, they won’t even have the qualification to go to the Heavenly Court to participate in the Godly War of Ascension.

In each Empire, with countless Sects and families, the number of disciples who sign up is more than tens of millions; the competition to secure one of the top ten spots will be extremely fierce!

Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained calm as he asked, “When will the preliminary selections take place?”

“Next month,” Peng Long said. “However, our Peng Family will set off for the Imperial Capital tomorrow. Would you like to go with us?” He finished, looking at Yang Xiaotian with a hopeful face.
