Chapter 483 First Battle
Having the Hidden Sword Elder handle the arbitration of this sword duel is more reassuring than having the people from the Island of Saints. This is not only because the Hidden Sword Elder himself is highly skilled, but also because his character has been unanimously affirmed by everyone present, who believe that he will not resort to any underhanded tactics.
It should be noted that the Hidden Sword Elder is the number one expert in the world, invincible. If he has ambitions, he could probably unify the entire land of China, and no one could stop him.
However, the Hidden Sword Elder had no such ambitions and simply lived in seclusion in his sword hut. He also never interfered in the affairs of other sects, which made everyone feel quite at ease with him.
……
Under the guidance of Elder Hidden Sword, everyone present who participated in this sword competition sent a wisp of spiritual energy from their bodies toward Elder Hidden Sword.
With a simple gesture, the Hidden Sword Elder raised his hand, and the spiritual energy formed a massive sphere of light in his palm.
The ball of light in the Hidden Sword Elder's palm spun continuously, eventually separating, while the spiritual energy of the crowd transformed into individual characters that floated in the air.
The gleaming golden characters merged in pairs, then separated again. The two merged names were the names of the two people who would face off in the first round of this duel.
The expressions on the faces of those present varied as they looked at the match-up list. Some who had encountered weaker opponents were naturally overjoyed, while others who had encountered stronger opponents looked gloomy and dejected, as if they had already foreseen their elimination.
Lin Fei naturally found his own name among these names, as well as the name of his opponent in his first battle.
He was quite lucky this time, as he didn't encounter any of the strongest opponents in this sword competition.
"Shenjian Villa, Xie Liufeng?" Lin Fei smiled slightly as he looked at his opponent's name: "Not bad luck at all!"
Although Lin Fei was confident in his own strength, and the Hidden Sword Elder wouldn't be participating in this sword competition, he was confident he could win among the remaining opponents. Even so, encountering weaker opponents first was naturally a good thing for Lin Fei.
If he had encountered someone like Master Yongcheng from the very beginning, even if he could have defeated him, it would have exposed many of Lin Fei's hidden strengths, which might not have been a good thing for him.
Xie Liufeng was the younger brother of Xie Liuyun, the master of Divine Sword Manor, and a master of the third level of the Dharma Aspect realm for many years. When the rift between heaven and earth opened, he finally got the opportunity to break through and advanced to the Celestial Realm in one fell swoop.
Although Lin Fei was the biggest beneficiary of the opening of the Heavenly Rift and the appearance of the ruins of the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace, many others also benefited from it. For example, Xie Liufeng, who had been trapped in the Third Heaven of the Dharma Aspect for many years, took this opportunity to break through and become the second Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm in the Divine Sword Manor after the Manor Lord Xie Liuyun.
For Lin Fei, fighting such a newly promoted Celestial Master was obviously much better than fighting those veteran masters, at least he wouldn't reveal too many of his techniques. His luck was actually quite good.
Lin Fei's opponent shared the same idea.
Xie Liufeng quickly found his own name among those names. When he saw his opponent's name, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had only recently ascended to the Celestial Realm; his name hadn't even been updated on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking yet. If he were to encounter those veteran grandmasters, he would most likely be no match for them.
Fortunately, his opponent was someone who had advanced to the Grandmaster level even later than him. This allowed Xie Liufeng to breathe a sigh of relief.
Xie Liufeng found his first opponent in the crowd and walked over to Lin Fei, cupping his hands and smiling, "Your Majesty, it seems that our luck is not too bad, at least we did not encounter those veteran masters."
It seems that Xie Liufeng is treating Lin Fei as an easy target.
This is understandable. The Celestial Realm and the Dharma Aspect Realm are worlds apart. Even if Lin Fei was strong in the Dharma Aspect Realm, he was nothing compared to the Grandmasters in the Celestial Realm. Not only Xie Liuyun, but probably in the eyes of everyone participating in the sword competition, Lin Fei was an easy target compared to those veteran Grandmasters.
Lin Fei simply smiled and didn't respond to Xie Liuyun's words. In other people's eyes, Lin Fei was an easy target, which conveniently lowered their guard, and for Lin Fei, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Within a very short time, everyone present found their opponents. Then, the Hidden Sword Elder, who was acting as the arbitrator, said, "The impact of a battle between Grandmasters at the Celestial level is too great. I would like to ask everyone to come to the Lesser Thousand Worlds to have their duels."
This has become a tacit agreement among Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm, because the power of a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm is too great. If a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm were to go all out, it might even cause irreversible damage to the Great Thousand World, causing it to collapse. Therefore, Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm would always choose a Lesser Thousand World to fight.
In this sword duel, those participating in the duel would not allow anyone to enter their opponent's small world. Only a small world provided by the arbitrator would truly put everyone at ease.
Therefore, the Hidden Sword Elder waved his hand, and a dozen or so orbs of light suddenly emerged from his palm and floated in front of everyone.
The orbs of light that surged from the Hidden Sword Elder's hands were like black holes, filled with tremendous suction force—each of these orbs was actually an independent miniature world!
Even a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm could not create such a number of minor worlds with a mere flick of the wrist; perhaps only a powerful being at the Earth Immortal level could possess such a skill!
The Hidden Sword Elder smiled at the crowd and said, "These small worlds, hastily created, are not complete, but I believe they are sufficient as the arena for your duels. These small worlds were all created by my own hands, and there are absolutely no hidden mechanisms. In this sword duel, I, as the arbitrator and witness, can absolutely guarantee fairness. Please choose a small world to enter!"
Zhao Wuji, standing nearby, then spoke up: "This sword duel is only to determine victory or defeat, not life or death. If anyone injures their opponent, they will not only be disqualified from the duel, but will also face pursuit and death from the Holy Island. Please stop here!"
Their ultimate goal in gathering these celestial masters was to seal the demonic sect, so naturally they wouldn't allow these people to be in mortal danger.
After Zhao Wuji finished giving his instructions, the grandmasters participating in the sword competition paired up and entered a small world to begin the first battle of this sword competition.
