2595 Taking It Out on the Prince!
An Immortal King from the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain arrived in midair. A Heavenly King from the Pure Land of Bliss appeared as well and the two of them stood side by side.
Although the two experts were only at the minor Grotto-heaven realm and were ordinary Immortal Kings, they had already hosted many Nine Firmament Meets and were experienced.
The two of them first exchanged pleasantries and introduced the rules and precautions of the Nine Firmament Meet.
Su Zimo was not interested and merely wanted the Perfected Immortal Ranking and Arhat Ranking to begin as soon as possible so that he could secretly absorb and refine the lifeforce of the Builder Tree.
After a while, Immortal King Pu Xuan coughed gently and said, “The Heaven Immortals who can take part in the Nine Firmament Meet are all paragons of the various Immortal Domains. Before the two ranking list competition begins, Heaven Immortals can also spar and interact with one another.”
This was also the custom of every Nine Firmament Meet.
The main event of the Nine Firmament Meet was the fight for the Perfected Immortal Ranking and Arhat Ranking.
Prior to this, the sparring between Heaven Immortals could only be considered as an appetizer to build excitement for the two ranking lists later on.
There were no specific rules for the spar between Heaven Immortals.
Every Heaven Immortal could stand out and challenge any opponents.
Of course, the other party could also reject the challenge.
If this was in private, it would naturally not matter if anyone rejected the challenges.
However, this was the Nine Firmament Meet where experts of both domains were gathered. If anyone rejected a challenge, it would have a huge impact on his reputation and even that of his sect!
Furthermore, those who could take part in the Nine Firmament Meet were all somebodies on the Heaven Rankings of the various Immortal Domains—none of them could afford to lose face like this.
The moment Immortal King Pu Xuan said that, more than ten cultivators from the other eight Immortal Domains stood out. Three of them were even the Rank 1s of the Heaven Ranking of the Verdant Firmament Immortal Domain, Vantage Firmament Immortal Domain and Jade Firmament Immortal Domain!
“I heard that Rank 1 of the Heaven Ranking in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, Su Zimo, is extremely powerful. Since this is a rare gathering, I’d like to spar with him.” A Grade 9 Heaven Immortal from the Green Firmament Immortal Domain said in a deep voice.
Rank 1 of the Green Firmament Immortal Domain’s Heaven Ranking was Lin Luo of the Battle Kingdom.
The combat strength of this Grade 9 Heaven Immortal was not weak either. He was Rank 3 of the Green Firmament Immortal Domain’s Heaven Ranking this time round.
“I want to challenge the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain’s Su Zimo as well!”
A Grade 9 Heaven Immortal of the Elixir Firmament Immortal Domain stood out and shouted.
Rank 1 of the Verdant Firmament Immortal Domain’s Heaven Ranking smiled. “The person I want to challenge is also the Divine Firmament’s Su Zimo.”
Zen Master Hui Wen smiled gently and teased, “Young friends, are you all going to challenge Su Zimo of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain?”
“Yes.”
“Me too.”
The few cultivators who had just stood out nodded one after another. Although the others did not say anything, they acknowledged it silently.
Initially, Zen Master Hui Wen was merely asking casually. To think that cultivators of the various Immortal Domains and even monks of the Pure Land of Bliss wanted to challenge the Rank 1 of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain’s Heaven Ranking!
Instantly, Su Zimo became the focus of the Nine Firmament Meet!
Those cultivators did not know Su Zimo at all.
However, the rumors of Su Zimo and the four great fairies at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet spread through the Heavenly World, attracting the hostility of many cultivators!
“Fufu.”
Sword Immortal Zhuo Wuchen of the White Firmament Immortal Domain smirked with a mocking expression. “The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. If a young man is too showy, he will naturally be taught a lesson by others.”
Lin Lei said in a low voice, “Sister, don’t be fooled by Su Zimo’s refined appearance. He’s a big flirt. Look, there’s even rumors of him and the four great fairies. Don’t get too close to him.”
“Brother, you believe such rumors?”
Lin Luo rolled her eyes at Lin Lei helplessly.
Fairy Jia Lan of the Verdant Firmament Immortal Domain looked at Su Zimo curiously and said softly, “So, he’s Su Zimo. He looks ordinary and there’s nothing special about him. I wonder why the four great fairies would get involved with him given their stature.”
Another Perfected Immortal said, “No matter what, there are so many Heaven Immortal experts challenging Su Zimo, the Rank 1s of the Heaven Rankings in the other Immortal Domains included. It’ll probably be difficult for that lad to tide through this.”
Unlike the excited discussions of the cultivators of the other Immortal Domains and the Pure Land of Bliss, the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain was extremely quiet.
Even Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Perfected Immortal Wu Feng, Meng Yao and the others who had grudges with Su Zimo had calm expressions and did not make any sarcastic remarks.
It was not that they did not want to, but they had witnessed Su Zimo’s methods at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet personally.
They knew very well that the so-called paragons of the various Immortal Domains who had just stood out were no match for Su Zimo!
Even if the group of them attacked together, they might not be able to threaten Su Zimo!
Sword Immortal Yue Hua and the others did not bear much hope and naturally reacted indifferently.
Right then, on the side of the Purple Firmament Immortal Domain, a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal stood up slowly and walked out of the crowd, exuding a unique might as he said slowly, “All of you, retreat. Don’t fight with me!”
It was the Rank 1 of the Purple Firmament Immortal Domain’s Heaven Ranking, Prince Ying Tian!
“This is going to be interesting!”
“I reckon that Ying Tian wants to suppress Su Zimo’s limelight as well. Given his Emperor bloodline, Su Zimo will definitely lose.”
Another commotion broke out in the crowd.
None of the cultivators knew that the reason why Ying Tian wanted to challenge Su Zimo was because he had suffered a huge loss in Su Zimo’s hands.
The two of them had a feud of a severed arm!
Furthermore, back in the secret ground of the Pure Magnificence Heaven, he did not gain any advantage against Su Zimo. Even the Jade Pure Jade Manual was taken away by Su Zimo.
That was an unacceptable humiliation for Ying Tian!
As the son of an Emperor, he had never encountered such a huge setback up till this point of his cultivation!
When Sword Immortal Yue Hua saw Prince Ying Tian appear, his expression changed and he was slightly interested.
Ying Tian was different from the Rank 1s of the Heaven Rankings in the other Immortal Domains.
If there was anyone of the same cultivation realm who could suppress Su Zimo, Ying Tian should be the one with the highest chance!
The cultivators who had just stood out to challenge Su Zimo retreated in fear when they saw Ying Tian appear.
Even the Rank 1s of the three Immortal Domains did not persist.
Ying Tian was a prince after all with a noble status. Everyone had to give him some face and there was no need to offend him just because of Su Zimo.
Against the challenge of a group of Heaven Immortal experts, Su Zimo had a calm expression and was in deep thought.
He did not take the so-called paragons before him seriously at all. He did not even care about Prince Ying Tian.
His thoughts had always been on absorbing and refining the Builder Tree.
“I have to resolve this matter as soon as possible and let the competition for the two ranking lists begin as soon as possible.”
Su Zimo lamented internally.
Only when the Perfected Immortal Ranking and Arhat Ranking began and attracted the attention of most cultivators could he seize the opportunity to secretly absorb and refine the lifeforce of the Builder Tree.
Initially, Su Zimo was pondering how troublesome it would be to deal with the challenges of so many cultivators.
Now that Prince Ying Tian came knocking, it was exactly what he wanted.
He could take it out on the prince and intimidate everyone else!
