FVN Chapter 314 Sweep Across
Chapter 314 Sweep Across
Ling Xi must have weighed her chances and decided not to compete anymore?
This decision...
The True Disciples found themselves at a loss for words
Indeed, allowing Alkaid, an Inner Sect Disciple, to achieve the feat of "sweeping through all Eighty-Eight Peaks of the True Disciples" would leave them without any face.
However, in his clash with Zhang Qing, he had already demonstrated sufficient strength.
The True Disciples are a group of very pragmatic people.
Pride sometimes represents interests, but this kind of interest, when compared with offending a genius like Alkaid, who has boundless prospects and a special body type, naturally calls for choosing the lesser of two evils.
Ultimately, it's not unreasonable for Ling Xi to make this decision.
Weren't these True Disciples thinking the same?
For a moment, everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn to Yan Huang.
What comes next will depend on this top True Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
"It's all down to the eldest senior brother now."
"Sigh, where exactly did this Alkaid pop up from? How did he suddenly become renowned? He's not even a True Disciple, yet he has the capability to threaten the eldest senior brother?"
"According to what Jiang Heavenly Venerable said, he's a distinguished figure from beyond the Northern Sea Star... Although the Northern Sea Star teems with powerful experts, the outside world also has its fair share of geniuses. Every so often, one or two exceptionally brilliant individuals will cause a stir on the Northern Sea Star."
"Genius, truly cannot be judged by ordinary standards. In previous years, I struggled tremendously to become the number one in the Inner Sect, then I challenged the True Disciples, becoming a True Disciple myself. I have cultivated diligently over the years, not daring to relax in the slightest. But... my hope was only set on entering the top ten True Disciples. Whether it's Sister Ling Xi or Brother Yan Huang, in my eyes, they are invincible peerless geniuses. The position of the eldest senior brother and sister, I felt it was only possible to even consider it once they achieved Hollow Void and vacated their positions. But now... this Alkaid who suddenly appeared seems to be so powerful that not even the eldest senior sister dares to face him, and now... he is about to challenge my unbeatable eldest senior brother... Indeed, it's like a dream, improbable and unbelievable."
Amidst such discussions, the pressure had unmistakably fallen upon Yan Huang.
Not just the disciples, those Hollow Void Elders also focused their gaze on him.
Some were even discretely assessing Sect Master Zong Wenxian.
Yan Huang, brilliant and glorious, had once received offers from three Supreme Elders who wished to take him as their disciple, but he declined them all. Instead, he became a disciple under Sect Leader Zong Wenxian, the master of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and his personally transmitted disciple.
Another significant reason why he is recognized as the eldest senior brother by everyone.
Ling Xi, intimidated by Alkaid's strength, chose to avoid battle, but Yan Huang...
Simply does not have the privilege to dodge the fight.
Feeling everyone's gaze on him, the True Disciple took a deep breath, his Escaping Light flashed, and he directly appeared on the Heavenly Dao Sword Platform.
"Come, defeat me, and you will become a True Disciple!"
As Yan Huang spoke, his figure rapidly swelled, with a deep gold flame burning fiercely on his body, and a pair of wings made entirely of flames spread out behind him.
The Crimson Gold Phoenix Body.
At the same time, he clasped his hand in the air, summoning a huge sword wrapped in lightning and exuding an aura of destruction.
The destructive power emanating from the sword's body, along with the Dao patterns visible to the naked eye, left no doubt about the level of this war sword.
A Quasi-Dao Artifact!
And not the kind meant for comprehending the Great Dao but one inclined towards augmenting combat power!
Behind him, three Spiritual Lights spread out evenly.
This was another Supreme Divine Power, the Tri-Yuan Gathering Spirit Art.
Once the energy inside the body was excessively consumed, it could be rapidly replenished.
Moreover, within those flaming eyes flickered a profound light.
"This Alkaid was sent directly into our Heavenly Dao Sect by a Dao Lord from the Penglai Immortal Sect, clearly indicating a dubious relationship with that person. Regardless of the ultimate intention of that Dao Lord and whether there are plans against our Heavenly Dao Sect, in any case, preventing Alkaid from becoming a True Disciple and denying him the opportunity to enter our sect's core circle means her intentions and plans will naturally not be realized!"
Following this line of thought, the Divine Sense of this Immortal Vein Master rapidly relayed the information to nearly all True Disciples.
However, some True Disciples who received the information frowned slightly, but Liang Lin, the third True Disciple, was the first to speak out loudly, "Over the years, only the number one disciple of the Inner Sect has been qualified to challenge the True Disciples. If all Inner Sect Disciples do not follow the rules and apply directly to the Great Dao Golden Book to challenge us, we might as well give up cultivating altogether from now on and get sick of being challenged every day. We must put a stop to this improper practice to uphold the Sect rules!"
His figure rose to the air, also performing a supreme divine power, "Fellow disciples, let us join forces to support our big brother. He wants to sweep through the eighty-eight True Transmission Peaks, so let's see if he truly has the ability!"
"Hahaha, I've never seen anyone so arrogant in my life. I don't deny that this Alkaid is strong, but to challenge all of us on the eighty-eight peaks, he's still not qualified!"
"Daring to challenge us all and rise to fame by stepping on the name of the True Disciples of the eighty-eight peaks, be ready for a collective attack! Kill!"
His words were quickly met with responses from the majority of True Disciples below the stage.
Even though some were indeed reluctant, not everyone had the confidence or the standing to refuse the request of the Immortal Vein Master.
For a moment, more than half of the True Disciples rushed onto the Heavenly Dao Sword Platform.
This scene...
Complied with the challenge rules.
The Golden Book Venerable did not stop it.
Nor did anyone else.
Some Elders indeed felt a silent regret.
There was no doubt about Alkaid's talent; otherwise, if he could be accepted into the sect and nurtured properly, his future prospects wouldn't be limited to Hollow Void—entering the Refining Void was not a vain hope.
Unfortunately, he was connected to that Dao Lord from the Penglai Immortal Sect.
That Dao Lord was a dreadful existence who, single-handedly, made the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion shut its doors, and he didn't hesitate to send Alkaid to the Heavenly Dao Sect with unknown intentions.
If he harbored ill intentions towards the Heavenly Dao Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When it came to that Dao Lord, being overly cautious was never an excess.
The higher echelons of the Sect clearly adopted the principle of preferring to err on the side of caution, planning to reject Alkaid outright.
Conveniently, Alkaid chose to sweep through the eighty-eight peaks to become a True Disciple, and they naturally took advantage of the current.
Thus, they could expel him without offending the Dao Lord's dignity, avoiding giving her a reason to stir up trouble.
"Heh."
Alkaid glanced at the Immortal Vein Master.
Soon, the Supreme Detachment, a supreme divine power of the mind, was deployed.
"Fireflies daring to compete with the heavens."
His Deep Blue Golden Core revolved at full speed, causing spatial ripples to spread outwards in waves.
In the state of Supreme Detachment, his perception of battles sharpened to the extreme, and he immediately discerned the lack of unity among the True Disciples.
Though they all officially acknowledged Yanhuang as the big brother, was each True Disciple—who was essentially a ruler of a small force—really able to act in complete unison under Yanhuang's orders to attack him?
With the help of the Two Realms Ruler and the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement, he maximized his "maneuverability" advantage.
Instead of confronting Yanhuang head-on when faced with numerous True Disciples, he targeted the ordinary True Disciples one by one, defeating them and having them removed from the Heavenly Dao Sword Platform by the Golden Light Scroll of the Golden Book Venerable.

This scene suddenly made Yuan Miaoyi, the Immortal Vein Master, extremely uncomfortable.
In a matter of dozens of breaths, the half of the True Disciples who had just entered the fray had all been blasted off by Alkaid.
For a time, the scene truly glittered with golden light like a meteor shower.
