Invincible Over the World
Chapter 412 - 412 412 On the Martial Arts Competition

412: Chapter 412: On the Martial Arts Competition 412: Chapter 412: On the Martial Arts Competition Time passed.

Five days had elapsed since the battle at Asura Square.

During these five days, Huang Xiaolong had healed all the injuries of the Asura Sect Elders that could be healed.

Asura Main Hall.

Huang Xiaolong sat below the Shura Throne, with the Asura Gate Domain Masters and Asura Sect Elders arrayed on two sides beneath the great hall.

Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu stood on either side of the Shura Throne.

“Pay homage to the Sect Leader!” Zhao Shu commanded.

At once, the Domain Masters and Asura Sect Elders kneeling below in the great hall worshipped Huang Xiaolong, “We salute you, Sect Leader, Invincible in the world!”

Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu also paid their respects, but unlike the Domain Masters and elders, they merely bowed without kneeling.

Huang Xiaolong bade everyone rise.

After everyone had gotten to their feet, Huang Xiaolong swept his gaze over them and spoke to the Domain Masters, “Open your Soul Seas; I will plant a Spiritual Imprint within them.”

The faces of the Asura Gate Domain Masters changed drastically.

“Spiritual Imprint!”

They had certainly heard of the Spiritual Imprint, but they had not expected Huang Xiaolong to make use of such a method.

Huang Xiaolong saw the Domain Masters’ expressions and sneered inwardly.

He naturally would not trust these Domain Masters to be absolutely loyal to him, but once he planted a Spiritual Imprint in their minds, it would be different.

These Domain Masters would not dare betray him again.

Huang Xiaolong wished for Absolute Control over the Asura Sect.

Huang Xiaolong stared coldly at the Domain Masters, ready to kill without hesitation anyone who dared to resist.

The atmosphere in the Great Hall was oppressive.

Everyone could almost hear their own breathing.

“I am willing to open my Soul Sea and let the Sect Leader plant the Spiritual Imprint!” After some consideration and struggle, finally one Domain Master kneeled and spoke.

Seeing this, the other Domain Masters also kneeled one after another, willing to open their Soul Seas.

It was clear to them that if they rebelled, their fate would no doubt be the same as Gu Wen’s.

Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong planted Spiritual Imprints one by one in the Soul Seas of the Asura Gate Domain Masters.

After planting the Spiritual Imprints in their Soul Seas, Huang Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the elders of the Asura Sect, there was naturally no need for Spiritual Imprints.

Huang Xiaolong was aware of the loyalty of Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, and considering how the Asura Sect Elders had withstood torture by Chen Tianqi and the Divine Hall without betrayal, it was evident they were loyal to the Asura Sect as well.

Next, Huang Xiaolong had Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu read out the new rules he had established for the Asura Sect.

Some of the previous rules of the Asura Sect, such as the Sect Leader being Invincible in the world and other such salutations, were abolished by Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong set some new rules, such as the punishment for Deacons and above who betray the Asura Sect: they would become food for the Poison Corpse Beetles.

After Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu read out the new rules, Huang Xiaolong inquired about some situations concerning the Asura Sect and directed the Domain Masters and elders in the great hall to report the recent conditions of their respective branches and halls.

Once the Domain Masters and Great Elders reported, Huang Xiaolong gained a detailed understanding of the various branches and halls of the Asura Sect.

Currently, the Asura Sect controlled territories included Central State and in total, thirty-six states.

There were seven branches in Central State, and each of the remaining thirty-five states had one branch, with each Domain Master in control.

The Asura Main Hall was established at the Sky Phoenix Sacred Mountain, and in the mountain ranges surrounding it, there were thirty-two halls such as the Elixir Medicine Hall, Punishment Hall, Skill Transmission Hall, Martial Arts Hall, etc.

These thirty-two halls were under the control of the Asura Sect Elders.

This is a rough overview of the Asura Sect’s power distribution.

However, Huang Xiaolong learned from these Domain Masters that among the thirty-six states controlled by the Asura Sect, there were tens of thousands of families large and small, and not all of them were submissive to the Asura Sect.

Some of the larger families had complex affiliations and relationships, to some extent, with super forces like the Qiankun Divine Sect, Pure Void Sect, and White Phoenix Tower of the Star Cloud Continent.

Therefore, they have always looked down upon the Asura Sect.

Sometimes these major families even collaborated with the forces of the Qiankun Divine Sect, Pure Void Sect, and White Phoenix Tower to suppress the various branches of the Asura Sect.

Especially since Huang Xiaolong’s master, Ren Wokuang, had disappeared for several decades, these families had become increasingly rampant.

In recent years, they harbored the momentum to seize control of the Asura Sect’s branches.

There were a total of fifteen of these major families.

Hearing what the Domain Masters had to say, Huang Xiaolong’s expression grew colder.

At this moment, Zhao Shu said, “Sect Leader, ever since the Qiankun Divine Sect Master and Master Ren had enmity, the relationship between the Qiankun Divine Sect and our Asura Sect has been very bad.

In the decades since Master Ren disappeared, the Qiankun Divine Sect has been continuously suppressing our Asura Sect, which is also why these major families have been so rampant.

Originally, our Asura Sect controlled fifty-two states, but after Master Ren disappeared…” Zhao Shu paused there.

The implication was clear.

The Asura Sect originally controlled fifty-two states, but now only thirty-six remained!

The missing sixteen states had evidently fallen to the Qiankun Divine Sect.

A cold light flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

Zhang Fu then said, “Sect Leader, there is another matter I wish to report to you.”

“Speak,” Huang Xiaolong said.

Zhang Fu respectfully said, “Every hundred years in our Star Cloud Continent, there is a Martial Arts Competition, which has been held for thirteen times now, organized jointly by the twelve super forces of the Star Cloud Continent.”

“Oh, Martial Arts Competition?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Zhang Fu.

“Yes, Sect Leader.

During every competition, the Sect Leaders, Masters, and Sect Masters of the super forces compete for rankings based on strength.

I’m worried that in the next competition, the Qiankun Divine Sect Master might seize the opportunity to move against you, Sect Leader!” Zhang Fu said, full of concern.

Zhao Shu then added, equally worried, “The twelve super forces must participate, and it is stipulated in the Martial Arts Competition that no external aids can be used.” This was what Zhao Shu was really worried about.

Without the use of external aid, it meant that Huang Xiaolong couldn’t use the Poison Corpse Beetles, and relying solely on his own strength, it was impossible for him to be an opponent for the Qiankun Divine Sect Master.

Not to mention the Qiankun Divine Sect Master, even the Sect Leaders of the Pure Void Sect, the Tower Master of White Phoenix Tower, and others could easily kill Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong frowned, “How much longer until the next Martial Arts Competition?”

“Eighty-seven years have passed since the last competition,” Zhao Shu replied.

That meant there were only thirteen years left until the next Martial Arts Competition!

Thirteen years!

Huang Xiaolong’s brows locked tightly.

He had not expected such an event as a Martial Arts Competition.

Thirteen years was too pressing a time!

For a Holy Domain Expert, thirteen years could pass in the blink of an eye.

Huang Xiaolong was currently only at the Holy Domain Fourth Stage.

To reach above the Tenth Stage of the Holy Domain in thirteen years was nothing short of a fool’s dream.

Huang Xiaolong dismissed everyone.

The night was deep and quiet.

Standing under the moonlight, Huang Xiaolong pondered the various ways to break through to above the Tenth Stage of the Holy Domain within thirteen years, ultimately pinning his hopes on the Twelve Ancient Dragon Gods.

If he could refine these twelve Ancient Dragon Gods, perhaps, Huang Xiaolong could break through to above the Tenth Stage of the Holy Domain.
