Soaring of Galaxia

The first three islands of the first level could be said as free of great momentum. Besides those candidates that had appeared to masquerade having ability, those people with slightly more expectations had all advanced to the next level. It would be the fourth to the sixth islands where the difficulty level would increased significantly.

Per the host’s estimate, at least two thirds of the people would fall back in the second level. No more than twenty-five candidates would enter the third level!

The third islands of the third level, also the seventh to the ninth islands would be the most miserable battlefields. Most likely, all the places would get determined in this level.

In the third island, Qin Wushuang had not encountered any danger, yet his learning and training had increased a lot within this month.

Sharpening your ax would quicken your job of chopping wood. Qin Wushuang felt that the one month of comprehension would work to his great advantage in his future training path.

The time limit for the three islands in the third level were twenty days. It means that it would need to take two months to complete them. Within this level, all the candidates would mind their own business as they were not allowed to attack each other. Therefore, they were rather peaceful and had not engaged in any abnormalities.

…

Another twenty days had passed.

The powerhouses not qualified for the competition all gathered next to the Illusion Heavenly Lake. Each day they had come with expectations of who was still in the competition and concern for their sects warriors.

Of course, in terms of expectations, they hoped their own people could stand until the last stop and to sweep out everything before them.

In terms of concern, naturally they were worried for their people to not get disqualified.

“Second Chief, today is the last day for the fourth island. In the previous three islands, more than twenty people were disqualified. This time, I estimate that the number of disqualified warriors will abruptly increase to about forty?” Qin Hao asked with a smile.

Qin Yunran nodded. “The level is changed from the third to the fourth island. Certainly there will be a great increase in the difficulty level. Perhaps, there will be many disqualified.”

“For now, we don’t have to worry about Senior Brother and Junior Brother Wushuang.” Qin Zhining was incredible confident. For the fourth island, he would not be worried for Qin Taichong and Qin Wushuang at all.

Just when he was speaking, the disciples that had been disqualified were already sent back to the transportation platform. Each of them walked out while hanging their heads dispiritedly. Indeed, a dozen had been disqualified from this fourth island.

In total, forty-people out of seventy-four people were disqualified. In other words, just after the fourth level, more than half of the candidates were disqualified.

“Ha ha, look, isn’t that Yan Qi of the Heavenly Punishing Villa? Ha ha, also Lei Gun of the Sound of Thunder Sect!” Qin Hongyan had a pair of sharp eyes and laughed. “This Heavenly Punishing Villa and Sound of Thunder Sect is truly inferior. They’ve been disqualified already. Hm, isn’t that Xin Wufeng? He has also been disqualified!”

“It’s true!” Qin Hao also saw it as he cried out and jeered, “Isn’t the Heavenly Emperor Gate arrogant? Tsk tsk, disqualified like this, so stupid and cowardly.”

Although Qin Zhining felt refreshed, he only gave a slight smile and did not utter a word. He wondered to himself, “If Junior Brother Wushuang had not gone for the competition, perhaps I would have been disqualified from this round. The talent and strength of that Xin Wushuang is mysterious…”

On the other side of the platform, a giant stone tablet kept refreshing the list of people that had been disqualified. The names of the disqualified were all in red.

The names of the people that were still in there were green.

All sects had looked at that stone tablet by raising their head. They wanted to see what kind of people had remained among the thirty-two.

There were a total of thirty-seven sects, and only thirty-two people were left. For one of the sects, two people from there had not been disqualified. This way, it indirectly proved that some of the sects had suffered a total annihilation as they lost their two people.

Among the thirty-two people, the ones from the same sect had appeared rather outstanding.

“Wow, there are six powerhouses, and two of them have not been disqualified! There were also twenty people that belonged to twenty other powerhouses!”

“So powerful, just which six powerhouses, surely they are from the grand powerful major sects, right?”

“Certainly there would be the Heavenly Mountain Sect of the Extreme North Snow Zone!”

“Then definitely there would be the Great Bright City of the Heavenly Fire Southern Border!”

“There should also be the Coiled Dragon Clan of the Endless Eastern Sea!”

From these voices, each of them had an abnormally firm tone.

“The Heavenly Emperor Gate of the Xuan Yuan Mound should be among this rank too?” Clearly, this voice had lacked confidence. Indeed as soon as these words were spoken, someone next to him berated him.

“Brother, it seems you don’t have good eyesight. One from the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan has already been disqualified.”

“Em, really? I didn’t pay attention. If the Heavenly Emperor Gate is not good, could it be none of the powerhouses of the Xuan Yuan Mound have got two people not disqualified?”

“How could there not be, the Xuan Yuan Mound has two!”

“What, two?”

“Isn’t that right? Among the list of disqualified warriors, did you see the disciples of the Qin Clan and the Yun Clan?”

“Eh, I really cannot see it.”

These people engaged in lively conversation and were gossiping. All had a complicated mood. They were either feeling sorry, inspired, or rejoiced in other people’s misfortune. Some just gave out a long sigh while wringing their wrist.

Qin Hongyan gave a long sigh. “It seems the Yun Clan is not bad. Two of their people are still in the competition. But I still think highly of Brother Taichong and Junior Brother Wushuang!”

“Yes, that’s a must, I guess both would surely enter the top ten in the end!” Qin Hao was also full of confidence. As soon as he spoke these words, of course he had received countless doubts from the eyes next to him.

Qin Hao chuckled and did not feel to have a guilty conscience. He raised the corner of his lips proudly and shot a glance at the Xin party as if to demonstrate a military show of force.

…

The ordeal of the fifth island had unfolded like wildfire. All candidates that did not get disqualified were already preparing for the top ten spots at the fifth island!

For the Qin party, although Qin Taichong was powerful, he also suffered some losses at this fifth island. However, it did not put him in any grave danger.

Perhaps, Qin Wushuang was one of the few to not sense the pressure. It was because he had already summoned the spiritual beast at the Perfect Void Martial Stage to defend him at an appropriate time.

With three spiritual beasts at the Perfect Void Martial Stage, of course Qin Wushuang would not need to worry about too much. In these twenty days, he still poured himself into training.

“Shatter the void, somatic and spiritual harmony, merge with the Genuine Dao. These words were truly vivid. Somatic and spiritual harmony, merge with the Genuine Dao. Ha ha…” When Qin Wushuang remembered the first time he witnessed the strength of the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary, he was at the Crest Mountain and was meeting with Mu Rong Qianji, also his future father-in-law. He had completely ignored the rules of space as he shattered the void and arrived before him instantly.

Of course, it was not completely ignoring the rules of space. One had only used their powerful stage efficiently and evaded the space rules ingeniously. Or to the extent to ride above the rules of space.

Exactly as Mu Rong Qianji had said, when a Supreme Dao warrior has reached a certain degree, one could ride above the rules. However, they could not create new rules!

For an elite warrior at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage such as Mu Rong Qianji, at most he was evading space on the brink of the rules. To ride above the rules, Mu Rong Qianji would not be enough with his strength.

At least, it would be possible to ride above the rules when one was at the Supreme Dao Stage. It was as if when the divine soul does not die, it can ride above the rules of life and death.

Qin Wushuang pondered over this for the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage and the Supreme Divine Dao were linked in countless ways. Yet in terms of essence, they were fatally different.

The Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage could only be said as on the way to the Supreme Dao levels. These supreme divine skills and abilities possessed by the Supreme Dao warriors were absent in those at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage.

“I am now at the Perfect Void Martial Stage, I must comprehend the rules and open a path among the heavens and earth. I need to shatter the void, comprehend the rules of space, merge with the Genuine Dao. Yes, like this…” Qin Wushuang thought greatly and seemed to have grasped a trace of divine light.

“Open the path, shatter the sky…” Qin Wushuang raised his arm lightly and gave a split from the palm! Whoosh, a hand blade had slashed a miserable ripple in the sky, like a cutting machine.

“No, this is not enough!” Qin Wushuang shook his head. He gave another hand blade attack and still, it was not enough!

Qin Wushuang rocked his head and opened his eyes widely. He seemed to have grasped a trace of divine light, yet it did not seem to be accurate. He used his palm as a knife and continued to gesture.

After he had slashed for a few thousand times in the sky, Qin Wushuang still felt there was a layer of barrier that he had not yet comprehended.

“What is it?” There was a trace of doubt inside Qin Wushuang’s head. He had a premonition that if he could break this barrier, he would have the hope to achieve instant breakthrough and shatter the sky to truly enter that Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage!

The Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage was a bridge, the path to the door of the Supreme Dao!

…

Clearly, the difficulty level of the fifth island was already evident, yet compared to the large number of disqualified warriors from the fourth level, less people were eliminated from this fifth island!

When twenty days had passed, only seven people were disqualified due to a variety of reasons!

Up to this point, the use of luck was already incredibly low. One’s strength started to occupy the main position. For those powerful ones, regardless of the dangers they met, they could deal with it casually. For those lesser ones, under a sudden situation, they had appeared rather less capable than desirable. They could only initiate the transportation jade plate and step out of the competition.

For the fifth island, only twenty-five people had remained from the thirty-two.

Only twenty-five people entered the sixth island!

For this time, two of those powerhouses of the six that had two people remaining had an opening. One of their people was disqualified.

This way, among the twenty-five people, only four powerhouses still had retained two people! They were the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan of the Xuan Yuan Mound, the Heavenly Mountain sect of the Extreme North Snow Zone, the Great Bright City of the Heavenly Fire Southern Border, and the Horned Dragon Clan of the Endless Eastern Sea.

None of the Six major Daoist Sects of the Illusion Heavenly Lake had remained to be whole.

Yun Zhonghe of the Yun Clan had been regretfully disqualified at this island. It caused the Yun Clan to no longer be in whole skin.

Shang Ye of the Coiled Dragon Clan was also disqualified with disappointment. However, Su Mi was rather determined and kept moving forward. Shang Ye had not felt inferior. With his strength and his foundation from the human countries, he was already incredibly satisfied since he was able to participate in such a grand pageant. This disqualification would further stimulate him to work harder towards a powerful warrior.

When Shang Ye learned that Qin Wushuang was still among the competitors, he also felt happy for him. Besides Su Mi, he had another person to support.

Now, Qin Wushuang was already at the sixth island and started to look for his training ground.

He knew that perhaps, this would be the last batch of peaceful days in the ordeal. After the sixth island, it would be the third level ordeal. When entering the seventh island, participants could attack each other. In that case, most likely it would not be possible to train peacefully!
