The crowd erupted into chaos.

Casting immortal platform! Si Kong is actually casting his immortal platform!

Si Kong had abruptly dropped out of the fight and begun casting his immortal platform, preparing to break through to the Immortal Platform realm. The development was far too abrupt, leaving the spectators stunned.

Although the half-immortal realm was only a transitional realm that one could technically skip, most ambitious geniuses would never dare do so. Instead, after reaching the peak Void Immortal level, they would deliberately pause at the half-immortal realm to refine their comprehension of the laws, deepen their accumulation, and build greater confidence for the eventual breakthrough.

This approach not only allowed them to cast a higher-grade Immortal Platform but also saved them the time required to convert true primeval into law power after advancing.

The crowd had expected Si Kong to follow the norm, given his talent. Consequently, his decision seemed too sudden, reckless, and shocking. They were utterly caught off guard.

This guy… Wont he go to the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm to search for the divine object to refine his immortal platform? Could it be that he plans to break through here, defeat Chen Fan, and seize first place? But even if he does, isnt it meaningless?

Who knows? From his words just now, it sounded like he had already surrendered and handed first place to Chen Fan!

Si Kong has been talking about shackles this whole time. Are those shackles tied to him casting the platform now?

Countless people murmured in confusion.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan looked at Si Kong, who sat cross-legged in the void and was casting his immortal platform, with a dumbfounded expression.

This…

He was at a loss for what to do, then, almost at once, he stopped caring.

After all, Si Kong had already surrendered, so first place was his. Perfect. Now Chen Fan could sit back, observe how Si Kong cast his Immortal Platform, and gain valuable experience.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Si Kong sat cross-legged in the void, emitting bursts of immortal light. Above his head, threads of laws wove together to form his immortal platform, gradually giving it a solid form.

At the same time, winds roared and clouds churned in the heavens.

Tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, sensing that Si Kong was about to break through and brewing his immortal ascension tribulation.

As Si Kong began to push toward the Immortal Platform realm, the martial meet was instantly thrown into utter chaos. Even the behemoth who was presiding over the event had yet to recover his composure, he didnt even appear to speak.

Then, realization struck the Heavenly Punishment Elder and the Heritage Elder.

Shackles, shackles, it turns out he was using Chen Fans strength to break free from those shackles!

Pieces of Si Kongs origins clicked into place, lining up with their earlier guesses, still, their hearts trembled.

Swish!

A majestic figure appeared before them, his gaze piercing the void as it locked on Si Kong. The Heavenly Punishment Elder and Heritage Elder immediately greeted him respectfully.

Sect Master!

Sect Master.

This person was none other than the Featherlight Sects master.

Hes a reincarnator!

In that instant, the sect masters eyes flashed with the phenomena of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, seasons shifting in rapid succession. He calculated Si Kongs origins effortlessly, his power so terrifying it defied comprehension.

The Heavenly Punishment Elder and the Heritage Elder also nodded and said, Thats right. Thats what weve deduced, too, though we have no idea what realm he had reached in his past life. Has Sect Master calculated it?

A Sage!

The Featherlight Sects sect master uttered two words, causing the Heavenly Punishment Elder and Heritage Elders gazes to narrow.

Its no wonder he can cast a sage-grade immortal platform. He was born to be a Sage.

Only then did the two elders fully grasp the truth. Perhaps it was precisely because Si Kong had reached the Sage realm in his past life that, after reincarnation, he could now cast a sage-grade Immortal Platform.

A reincarnated Sage. This news must not be leaked under any circumstances. Heritage, you and I will work together to send him to the tiny immortal realm and seal the news. Heavenly Punishment, Ill leave wrapping up the martial meet to you.

Yes, Senior Brother Sect Master. Heavenly Punishment Elder and Heritage Elder nodded, well aware of the importance of this matter.

If word spread, every immortal holy land would fix its gaze on Si Kong and likely plot to murder him before he could grow to maturity.

After all, a reincarnated Sage faced little difficulty retracing the cultivation path they had once mastered. As long as they survived, reaching their former peak was all but assured.

After deciding their course of action, the Featherlight Sect Master and Heritage Elder immediately used their great powers and sent Si Kong to the tiny immortal realm.

Eh? Si Kong disappeared! He disappeared!

The crowd gasped when Si Kong suddenly vanished. Witnessing him cast his Immortal Platform was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, made even more precious because he was a reincarnated Sage.

Chen Fan was also stunned.

He had activated the Eye of Breaking Deception, studying every step in meticulous detail. It was an opportunity to deepen his understanding, just as he was immersed, Si Kong vanished, leaving him with nothing but a hollow sense of loss.

However, Chen Fan knew that the higher-ups of the sect must have sent Si Kong away.

From the very start, Si Kong had seemed unusual, clearly, something major lay hidden behind the matter. That was the only explanation for why the sect had intervened.

Otherwise, this should have been left alone. After all, it was a priceless chance for everyone present to observe and learn. And besides, this was the Featherlight Sect. No one would dare to come cause trouble here and interrupt a soon-to-be Immortal Platform expert.

Just as the crowd buzzed with whispers, the Heavenly Punishment Elder appeared.

Silence!

The entire area fell silent instantly as soon as the Heavenly Punishment Elder spoke, as if his words were a royal decree that could determine their life or death, carrying the weight of law with them.

Swish, swish, swish.

Countless gazes fell on the Heavenly Punishment Elder in an instant.

Some people recognized him and sucked in a breath of cold air. After all, the Heavenly Punishment Elder was renowned for his ferocity.

Alright, this martial meet has come to an end. With no patience for pleasantries, he directly declared the competition over.

Since Si Kong has broken through on the spot, he wont have any use for the spot for the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. So, according to the rules, this spot will be filled by the fourth placer, Ye Kuang. Any questions? .

Of course, none dared raise a word.

Si Kong broke through to the Immortal Platform realm, and only martial artists below the Immortal Platform realm could enter the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. Since he couldnt go, someone had to fill the spot. As the person who placed fourth in the competition, Ye Kuang was the justified choice.

Ye Kuang was overjoyed.

He only took fourth place after losing to Mo Xue. It meant that he could not go to the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm, but it just so happened that Si Kong broke through.

It was as though a pie had fallen straight from the heavens. In his giddy excitement, Ye Kuang even felt like rushing over to hug Si Kong, plant a kiss on him, and proclaim him a noble man who delighted in helping others.
