Soaring Immortal Mountain’s outstanding Chen Changan will hold a disciple contest a month from now.

 

Anyone who became Chen Changan’s disciple also wielded the Nine Province Cauldron, becoming the Nine Province Continent’s Heavenly Dao Protector as a result.

 

The news came from the Continent Assembly, which took the continent by storm in just a couple of days. Each genius in every province knew of this event and was beyond excited to give their best. They each held supreme self-confidence and a firm belief that they were the ones to become Chen Changan’s disciple.

 

For the disciple contest, geniuses of all shapes and sizes trained hard, to temper their cultivation, their spirits, and their arrogance.

 

Immortal Lord Shen Wu was going for the Myriad Mountains, words about Absolute Dominator Chen Changan reaching his ear on his way.

 

A supreme existence, the peak of this world, took residence on Soaring Immortal Mountain. He killed twelve Immortal Generals and slapped one Ghost Immortal dead. Adding to that the death of Asura Immortal Domain’s genius and scaring his Dao Protector, everyone found his every action to be beyond shocking.

 

In more recent news, Chen Changan was holding the Nine Province Cauldron and organizing the disciple contest.

 

“It’s that punk that stole my Sacred Immortal Sword! How is he so strong?” Shen Wu muttered.

 

His eyes flickered, taken by surprise to find Chen Changan was so tough.

 

His original purpose for coming to Ghost Province was to find Chen Changan and settle accounts by taking back his vital Immortal Treasure.

 

By the looks of things, it would not happen anytime soon. Even another Immortal Domain’s Immortal Lord Dao Protector got scared off. He lacked the confidence that he would fare much better.

 

“He holds the Nine Province Cauldron the Ninth Prince desires. It would seem getting it won’t be easy. I better find out more before deciding.” Immortal Lord Shen Wu sensed a familiar aura and squinted. “Immortal Lord Thousand Beauty, to think she’s here as well. That means the one she is protecting, Seventh Princess, is also here.”

 

Shen Wu’s eyes shone with savagery.

 

Since they were all here, a fight to the death awaited. Only one Upper Realm genius could wield the Nine Province Cauldron and become the Nine Province Continent’s Heavenly Dao Protector.  Moreover, he was in the 7th Layer of Immortal Lord while Immortal Lord Thousand Beauty was only in the 6th the last time he saw her a couple of centuries ago.

 

A mere Layer apart, yet more than enough to establish dominance. This was fate, karma, and providence that urged him to remove her.

 

“First, I deal with her, then the Seventh Princess.” Shen Wu’s mind was made up.

 

He flashed in an Immortal Light and shot for Mei Niang.

 

Mei Niang sensed Shen Wu the same time he did. She widened her eyes and halted her trip to Soaring Immortal Mountain, changing her direction towards Shen Wu.

 

“It’s him. So, he’s here too, but who is he protecting?” Mei Niang sensed Shen Wu rushing towards her.

 

“You think you can kill me, that I’m still the old me?” Mei Niang smiled and withdrew her aura to make it the 6th Layer.

 

Shen Wu arrived in no time at all with a sneer.

 

“Immortal Lord Thousand Beauty, it’s been ages. How have you been?”

 

“Can’t complain. I’m surprised to find Immortal Lord Shen Wu is here on the Nine Province Continent.”

 

“The Ninth Prince is recultivating. I’m amazed Seventh Princes recultivate in the same Lower Realm. Does Immortal Lord Thousand Beauty know of her location?”

 

Mei Niang smiled, ignoring the blatant bloodlust coming off Shen Wu. “She’s on Soaring Immortal Mountain. With that Senior around, you have no chance of killing her.”

 

“Senior? You mean that Chen Changan punk?” Shen Wu’s eyes were frosty.

 

Mei Niang recalled the sword in Ling Bao’er at the Continent Assembly and beamed.

 

“Immortal Lord Shen Wu, I seem to recall your precious sword being with Senior. You and Senior must have disagreements, yes?”

 

“Humph! just a Lower Realm lowlife that I’ll be killing soon and recovering my sword.”

 

Mei Niang cracked up. “Immortal Lord Shen Wu, you must be blind not to see just how mighty Senior is by comparison.”

 

Shen Wu huffed, his bloodlust spiking as he went for the kill.

 

Mei Niang’s face fell. “Immortal Lord Shen Wu, what do you think you’re doing?”

 

“Now you’re blind as well? I’m going to kill you, then the one you’re supposed to be protecting. As for that lowlife, I’ll take care of him after!”

 

Mei Niang smiled, her composure returning. “Immortal Lord Shen Wu, you can’t even kill me, let alone Senior. Since I’m on my way to Soaring Immortal Mountain and you’re at odds with Senior, I reckon you’d make the perfect housewarming gift.”

 

Shen Wu sneered, “Humph, you dare spout such things as a 6th Layer Immortal Lord? The arrogance!”

 

“6th, you say?” Mei Niang smirked, and her cultivation exploded.

 

*Boom!* The terrible power of a 7th Layer Immortal Lord shook Shen Wu.

 

“Wha~”

 

His face froze, unable to accept reality. Mei Niang went up a Layer after just a couple of centuries.
