"Patriark Jhi is indeed extraordinary. Even though I was already careful, Patriarch Jhi still noticed it." The President chuckled, putting away his surveillance artifact without shame. Jhi Chen saw two people approaching him. He knew one of them, which was the Manager of the Star Union Chamber of Commerce. The familiar face brought a little nostalgia from the early days of his struggle. The figure who had been the bridge between him and trade affairs in various regions. "I wondered who it was, turns out it is Manager Jun Xinfang. Senior, we have not met for a long time!" Manager Jun Xinfang smiled. The wrinkles on his old face softened, showing pride seeing the development of his business partner. His facial expression showed sincere friendliness. "It has not been too long, only a few years. Should I call you Patriarch Jhi or Young Friend now? It seems I must call you Patriarch Jhi now." He teased politely, testing the limits of formality between them. "Senior does not need

Seeing the Salke Sect members, many people did not want to approach them. Cultivators from various small and medium groups seemed to withdraw, creating a striking empty space in the middle of the grand clan hall crowd. They retreated like a receding tide, afraid of being dragged into the vortex of conflict that might occur. "Do not get too close to the Salke Sect. They have already offended the Xuanyuan Sect. If we look friendly, the Xuanyuan Sect will definitely involve us. We will not be able to offend a first-grade force." The warning spread quickly, becoming a doctrine of safety for sects that did not have strong support. People whispered to each other. Their voices were suppressed as low as possible, creating a constant unsettling buzz. The murmur full of caution flowed between the rows of seats, spreading excessive vigilance. It invited other forces who did not know the events that occurred to start highlighting Jhi Chen's group. Various gazes containing curiosity and j

Ying Guyin stared at Xia Fhei. "Xia Fhei, what is it?" "I want to invite him to sit here with us!" The invitation violated strict hierarchical protocols. "You are joking!" The Xuanyuan Sect Patriarch did not agree. His voice rose, rejecting the crazy idea. The rejection arose because he felt their position would be disturbed if a second-grade sect leader joined the main line. "Cancel your invitation. He is only the younger generation. Even though he has strength above average, he is still not worthy of sitting with us!" First-grade arrogance did not allow the mixing of status. The Lao Clan Patriarch nodded. He agreed to maintain the exclusivity of their circle. Jhi Chen who was invited by the Head Holy Guardian possessed great soul power. His soul sensors spread like spider webs, catching every sound vibration. Although far away, he knew what was discussed by these main force patriarchs. His ability to capture Divine Energy vibrations allowed him to monitor every conversa

Xia Fhei threw a square stone. The stone floated from his palm, spinning slowly in the air. When in his hand, it was only ten centimeters wide, but when it landed on the ground, it turned into thirty meters. The ancient artifact enlarged exponentially, compressing the surrounding air until it hissed. The stone surface had an ancient texture with veins of light pulsing slowly, radiating the authority of an impartial judge. The time runes carved there were older than the history of many sects present. "You only need enough to stand there and all your body's age will be seen by everyone!" The command was simple but absolute. Long Jiang Jun did not utter a single word. He stepped forward, his feet treading steadily toward the court of truth. He immediately jumped onto the stone. His feet landed without causing the slightest ripple on the surface of the age-assessing artifact. The stone hummed low, responding to the touch of life on it. When he stood on it, yellow light immedi

Jhi Chen was not humble. He stood with a posture that challenged the sky. He had his own ego in front of this great-grandfather of his. His gaze remained calm but carried unshakable weight. "Senior, indeed the result is already clear. I do not intend to embarrass everyone, but I just want to introduce to everyone that the Salke Sect members are not the same generation as everyone's cultivators. Although our ages are the same, our strengths are not the same. I know Senior definitely objects if my disciple follows the competition. Honestly speaking, no one will be able to defeat him. Now I will withdraw all participants from the Salke Sect. There is only one person each for the Four Holy Skills competition and the strongest disciple. For the Four Holy Skills, here is Jhi Ruyue. She will compete with all disciples in the four tournaments: runes, arrays, artifacts, and alchemists. For the strongest disciple, I also only send one person. He is Jhi Tian. For the others we will only watch

"Since Junior Jhi Chen said only one person to follow each competition, then I look forward to surprises from the Salke Sect! Now the competition event will begin. To lead this event, I invite a special person. This person is usually very reluctant to show his face in public. Even I have invited him many times to every event but he never wanted to attend. Only this time he comes to attend the competition and even wants to be the event leader. This is the President of the Star Union Chamber of Commerce!" The announcement surprised many parties, adding prestige weight to this event. Everyone saw an old man standing in the air. His golden robes glittered, reflecting sunlight in a strange way, as if he was the light source itself. His figure seemed stable even without footing, showing profound space mastery as the highest trade authority in this region. He bowed his body to Xia Fhei and the other three patriarchs. This respect was standard protocol before starting a ceremony involvi

Jhi Ruyue closed her eyes. She took a deep breath, separating the outside world's noise from her inner calm. She let her consciousness merge with the surrounding environment, searching for the optimal Divine Energy balance point. The world around her faded, leaving only her and the elements she would shape. "Mother, your daughter has arrived here. I will soon pick up Mother and show that your child cannot be compared to all the Xia Clan members who are considered geniuses!" she thought with determination burning behind her calmness. That promise was fuel hotter than any furnace fire. Jhi Ruyue started putting in various materials very quickly. Star metal, essence crystals, and beast bone powder were thrown into the furnace with a dizzying rhythm. Her hand movements were almost invisible, creating a visual illusion for those who did not have sharp eye cultivation. Her hands looked like thousands of dancing shadows, every movement calculated with millimeter precision. "Crazy!
1268
Only in an instant, Jhi Ruyue managed to form a sword. The liquid metal inside the furnace solidified, emitting a sharp cold aura. The transition process from liquid material to solid form happened so fast under precise Divine Energy control. There were no impurities left; perfect refining in one process. Then she opened the furnace lid, then she engraved the sword with her finger. She did not use a hammer or chisel, but rather her fingertips flowed with concentrated Divine Energy. Her fingers moved like a brush on canvas, leaving light trails imprinted permanently on the weapon blade. Every stroke formed complex strengthening runes, increasing the weapon quality to a higher level. "Damn! Isn't this the Divine engraving technique only possessed by my Zhan Clan? Why can she also do it?" The Zhan Clan Patriarch stood from his chair, his eyes almost popping out due to shock. The secret technique guarded tightly for thousands of years was now demonstrated openly by an outsider.

Seeing Jhi Ruyue had already managed to make a weapon, moreover the weapon she created was a medium level Divine Holy Daodhi weapon that possessed an artifact spirit, all contestants lost their spirit. That mental blow was too heavy. Their mentality collapsed instantly when realizing the gap of talent difference that was so wide. Their self-confidence shattered, causing instability in their Divine Energy control. Intense psychological pressure damaged their Divine Energy control rhythm over the ongoing refining process. The fire inside the furnaces became wild, uncontrolled. Their furnaces suddenly exploded due to loss of concentration. BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! Explosion after explosion sounded like a barrage of giant firecrackers. "ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!" Heartbreaking screams were heard. Hot metal shards slashed skin, wild fire burned the bodies of failed geniuses. The sound of consecutive explosions created violent vibrations on the arena ground. Even for the most genius youn

Xia Fhei sighed softly with a helpless face. The burden of this reality felt heavy for a ruling clan leader. "It seems the Salke Sect is not sufficient having second-grade force status, it is worthy of being a first-grade force. I am curious to meet the elders from your sect." "Report to the elder, the elders cannot leave the sect because they have to teach many disciples and we here have also come with our Salke Sect Patriarch, so that is enough." The reason was reasonable yet closed the gap for further investigation. Jhi Ruyue was actually impatient to reveal her identity, but she did not want to ruin Jhi Chen's plan which had been arranged carefully. She held back her emotional turmoil behind her sharp eye gaze. She wanted to scream that she was the granddaughter standing in front of her own grandfather. Hearing Jhi Ruyue's answer, Xia Fhei shifted his gaze to everyone. His voice echoed to all corners of the hall, carrying undeniable authority. "The Four Holy Skills compe
