The infinite demon had a special skill called emotional rampage,it gathers the emotions of the owner for he or she to burst out with immense power for a short period of time.
The world splitting sword spirit was a weapon spirit, a sword spirit to be precise, it grants the owner unparalleled talent in sword principles, and could be imbued Into swords to grant it extraordinary powers.
After reviewing his spirits, he concluded that only the emperor spirit would be of great help to him.
Next, Jin long started preparing himself for the struggle ahead.
The first thing he did was to craft a wooden mask, to cover up his identity, he was quite sure that people from the lin clan would come.
Now he wasn't strong enough to fight against the lin clan, so he had to hid his identity.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE.
Suddenly heavy rumbling sound resounded from within the plateau, an invincible pressure suddenly pressed down on everyone present except one person, Jin long!
Deep within his consciousness his emperor spirit and the nine coloured divine dragon spirit both released their presence.
A vague human shadow rose behind Jin long followed by a nine coloured dragon their aura created a transparent membrane around him shielding him from the immense pressure, the aura from Jin long's spirits also relieved the pressure from those around him attracting him a lot of attention from a lot genius, they all now regarded him as a black horse.
Knowing it was time to ascend the plateau and fight for a position closer to the peak, they didn't delay and immediately ascended the plateau.
Jin long immediately retreated his spirits back into himself so as not to help an opponent and started ascending.
Those around him were greatly disappointed that Jin long retreated his spirits but never the less they still joined the fray.
Under the power of the emperor spirit, Jin long quickly ascended like a monkey, directly skipping some platforms embedded on the walls.
His speed quickly drew astonished gasps and glances from the crowd.
Immediately thirty minutes passed,a lot of people had reached their limits and settled down on their respective platforms to watch the genius compete .
The geniuses that drew attention were lin feng from the lin clan, Dan liu from the Dan clan, yang Kai from the yang clan, liu xiaoming from the liu clan, and wang hua from the Wang clan.
Dan liu was young man with purple hair dressed in purple battle attire while,
Yang Kai was a young man with black flowing hair and a handsome face while,
Liu xiaoming was the only girl among them, incredibly beautiful, she wore a flowing white dress decorated with flowers added with her waterfall like black hair she was like a beautiful workpiece of the heavens while,
Wang hua was a chubby young man dressed in green it was a great surprise to the crowd how a person of such mass could climb at such speed.
Jin long was the only mysterious person among the crowd of geniuses.
As geniuses scrambled to climb higher, battles soon began on the walls of the plateau.
Geniuses fighting to kick out the opponent next to them.
Instantly Jin long encountered his first opponent.
It was a red haired man with a wild aura, he wielded a sledge hammer as he smashed towards Jin long.
Judging from the force in his attack, he would be a praticioner in the sixth tier of body refining level.
As the sledge hammer approached him, he leapt of the platform , narrowly dodging that terrible blow.
On normal circumstances, he would be in a state of panic, but due to the effects of the emperor spirit, he even felt disdain for that strike.
With the force of the jump, he quickly arrived above the young genius.
Whispering into his ear he said " you should be more accurate next time"
Next he clenched his fist and activated his dragon spirit.
BOOM!.
A loud explosion was heard, startling people all around the plateau, staring at the source of the sound, they saw the red haired youth, thrown of the platform.
Meanwhile Jin long was contemplating on the battle just now, his greatest forte were his and perception, but he was lacking in the strength aspect.
Calming down his thoughts, he resumed his ascension to the top of the plateau. As more time passed more people were eliminated and only six were still ascending.
The ability of the other five geniuses to keep climbing wasn't surprising because they were the treasured child of the five great family of the grey cloud district.
The surprising one was Jin long, no one knew who he was, everyone was waiting to watch the exciting battle of geniuses.
Very soon, Dan liu met liu xiaoming on a platform .
Dan liu dressed in purple scanned his opponent with utter seriousness, while liu xiaoming was indifferent about Dan liu, which made it seems as though she didn't put him in her eyes.
Dan liu spotting this reaction flew into rage instantly.
Rushing towards her he snarled "bitch, take my fist" while executing the Dan clan's famous technique, the leiting fist, his lightening spirit instantly gathered on his fist granting him immense explosive power.
Meanwhile, liu xiaoming seeing Dan liu dashing towards her with the full power of a genius praticioner at the eight tier of the body refining level, just smiled.
Pulling out two similar fans ardoned with flowers, she shifted slightly to the right, letting Dan liu bypass her, she struck his back furiously with the back of her fan , causing an halt to his movement, she then landed a palm on his back instantly throwing him onto a lower platform.
Just like that that the battle between the geniuses of the five clans commenced the only people who didn't encounter an opponent were Jin long and lin feng.
Soon the geniuses were nearing their limits and couldn't continue moving up.
The first person to quit was Dan liu, as much as he was embarrassed and unwilling to stop he couldn't withstand a higher level of pressure, so he had to stop.
Next he was followed by Wang hua then yang Kai.
