Chapter 2549

Silver Fox had long realized that Zhu Yanyi’s arrangements were excellent.

First, for the individual disciple match, the Hundred Changes Hall’s techniques were famous far and wide. Gong Jue’s mystical arts were top-tier in the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect. Silver Fox knew this well, having even suffered a loss to Gong Jue recently. Thus, Gong Jue was the best choice.

Second, for the team match, the opponents were twins. Zhu Yanyi chose Yun Ling and Cui Wan. First, their cultivation was the highest among all disciples. Second, they had practiced the Taiji Two-Yi Formation. This formation required a male and female to assist each other, balancing yin and yang, with equal cultivation and combat power. In the sect, disciples formed pairs freely. Only Yun Ling could pair with Cui Wan for this formation, so Zhu Yanyi selected them.

Third, for the intermediate match, Silver Fox was a demon cultivator, while the Mo Sect was a demonic cultivator. Neither were normal human cultivators, so the battle could not be analyzed from a human perspective.

Fourth, for the advanced match, this was the hardest to predict. Although Hong Lian had reached the peak of the Immortal King realm, she still needed time to break through to the Immortal Saint realm. However, she was chosen because she was a sword cultivator.

Silver Fox looked at Hong Lian, feeling this match was uncertain. In the final sect leader match, Zhu Yanyi would compete. No one knew how she would fight the Medicine King Valley, but since it was a battle of medicine, it was not bad for Zhu Yanyi. She was a genius in medicine, pills, and cultivation, so she had no fear.

Among these five matches, only the sword palace match seemed difficult. The others should not be dangerous.

Silver Fox looked at Zhu Yanyi, who remained calm. This showed she was not afraid. Silver Fox was curious why Zhu Yanyi was so calm. Did she really not fear the five major sects?

Not only Silver Fox, but the five major sects also had this question.

“How should we determine the order of appearance?” Sword Wu Hua asked.

Zhang Yi Xing looked at Sword Wu Hua and said, “Naturally, from lowest to highest. Our Medicine King Valley ranked last among the five major sects in the past. So, we start. The first match is the sect leader battle.”

“If so, the second match is the disciple team battle,” Yao Hua Yin Guo said.

“The third is the individual disciple battle,” Bing Wu Ji spoke.

“The fourth is the intermediate battle,” Mo Tian You said.

“The final match is the advanced battle,” Sword Gong summarized after a slight pause. “Since that is settled, let it be so.”

The others had no objections. “Since the matches are set today, but this format differs from the past, we need to rearrange. Shall we compete tomorrow?” Sword Wu Hua proposed. The original format was different. Now that the five major sects broke tradition for a single-match victory, they needed internal adjustments.

Zhu Yanyi had no complaints. “Fine. We will set up tents here to rest today and fight tomorrow.” She then called to her disciples, “Children, hurry and set up tents. Everyone is tired. It is still early, so you can sleep well.”

Others rested by meditating, but the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect planned to sleep. What kind of divine operation was this?

Not only the five major sects, but other sects also did not understand the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect’s methods. However, since such operations were common for them, it was not a big deal for others.

Zhu Yanyi did not care. After days of continuous fighting, no one had had a beauty sleep. For cultivators, this was not a major issue, as their appearance remained perfect. But for Zhu Yanyi, it was important. So she needed rest, and everyone helped.

The Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect members were used to such mortal routines. They skillfully set up tents and began to rest, ignoring the curiosity of other sects.

Zhu Yanyi wanted to sleep well, but as soon as she lay down, something important happened. She realized she was going into labor.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Ao Han noticed Zhu Yanyi’s expression was wrong and asked hurriedly.

Zhu Yanyi smiled bitterly. “Husband, set up a barrier. I am going to give birth.”

Yan Ao Han was slightly stunned, then quickly set up a barrier. “Wife, do not worry. I will go outside to inform everyone, then take you to the space to give birth.”

This place was not suitable for childbirth. The space was better.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. Yan Ao Han went out and said to the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect members, “Our sect leader is giving birth. Qian Huan Sheng, go adjust the match time with the five major sects. We must wait until my wife finishes giving birth.”

“Okay.” Silver Fox’s expression turned serious. He did not expect Zhu Yanyi to give birth at this moment. Although it was not an ideal time, childbirth could not be controlled. So Silver Fox hurried to communicate.

The Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress also came upon hearing the news.

Yan Ao Han saw them and said, “Please help hold the scene. I will take my wife to my barrier to give birth. I will open the barrier only after she finishes.”

“Agreed. Go ahead,” the Immortal Emperor said quickly. “Childbirth is important. I am here.”

Knowing the Immortal Emperor had agreed, Yan Ao Han did not worry about the outside. He returned to the tent and set up a barrier, so no sound could be heard from outside.

In fact, Yan Ao Han had already taken Zhu Yanyi into the Ruyi Space.

In the space, Flame also came to help. However, since Flame was a boy, Yan Ao Han only asked her to boil water nearby. Yan Ao Han stayed with Zhu Yanyi, saying, “Wife, be patient. Our child is fine.”

Indeed, Yan Ao Han controlled the cycle of life and death, so he knew his daughter was fine and would be born smoothly.

Zhu Yanyi nodded, but the pain still attacked her.

However, this pain was nothing for Zhu Yanyi. She had endured the pain of rebirth, so this pain was bearable. But cultivators experienced a period of weakness after childbirth. Zhu Yanyi did not know if she would have a weakness period, so she needed to prepare. She asked Yan Ao Han to prepare all the spiritual medicines she had prepared earlier, so she would not need to search for them when needed.
