Chapter 4226 Wanxiang Heavenly Palace

“You’re right; you are indeed teachable,” Ku Xuzi nodded.

“The Saint Spirit Convention has been held for roughly a million years, once every thousand years, and the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace naturally considered this. The rules of the tournament are that the first round, a month later, will compare Rank. From the second round onwards, there will be new changes; in addition to Cultivation, there will also be a strength test. The third round is even more so; it no longer checks how much the Cultivation Rank has increased but directly determines victory by strength. After all, in the Chaotic Saint Realm, strength has always been supreme. No matter how high your Cultivation Rank, if you have no combat power, it’s useless, and you cannot be called a Genius.”

“That makes sense,” Ye Bufan said.

“By the way, Master, since the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace holds such a high position, the prizes for this Holy Spirit Tournament must be excellent, right?”

“Hahaha, you certainly have ambition,” Ku Xuzi laughed.

“The rewards for the Holy Spirit Tournament are extremely simple: the top ten finalists will be eligible to pay respects to the Immortal Saint Ancestor statue, and there will also be some chaotic sacred crystal rewards.” chaotic sacred crystal—Ye Bufan heard this term for the first time, but he could guess that it should be the chaotic crystals he had snatched from Yan Song earlier.

However, he felt a bit strange. Logically speaking, this was a valuable Cultivation resource, and with the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace’s high status, they wouldn’t be stingy.

But from Ku Xuzi’s tone, he didn’t seem to care much about these chaotic sacred crystals, caring more about seeing that statue.

While he was wondering, Yuhua Ling directly asked, “Senior, isn’t it just a statue? Paying respects is one thing, but it can be considered a reward? If the reward is so perfunctory and unappealing, why would anyone be willing to participate?”

“Ling’er, you don’t know about this,” Yun Qianyin began.

“Being able to pay respects to the Immortal Saint Ancestor’s statue is not perfunctory at all, but an extremely precious Opportunity. Ordinary people couldn’t obtain it even if they begged their entire lives.” Yuhua Ling widened her eyes in surprise: “What do you mean? Can seeing that statue actually increase one’s strength?” Yun Qianyin said: “You’re right, it really can, and it’s the kind that makes you soar. Legend has it that the Immortal Saint Ancestor’s Legacy is sealed within the statue. Whoever gains the Saint Ancestor’s approval can inherit his lifelong Cultivation. Tell me, how great an Opportunity is this, and how great a temptation! It is precisely because of this that countless Sects have gone mad for this Opportunity over the years. Once their Disciple is chosen, it means their Sect gains the Immortal Saint Ancestor’s protection and reaches the Peak of the entire Chaotic Saint Realm.”

“There’s even such a thing!” Ye Bufan’s eyes widened in surprise. He had seen too many Legacies, including Leng Qingqiu obtaining the First Sword Immortal’s Legacy and himself obtaining the Dragon King Palace’s Legacy, but he hadn’t expected the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace to use this as a reward.

Xuan Yuan Linglong said, “This can’t be true. If the Immortal Saint Ancestor’s Legacy is really within that statue, why would the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace open this Opportunity to outsiders? Wouldn’t it be better to choose the first one to receive the Legacy themselves?” Dragon Granny said, “You are right, such a good thing would generally not be known to outsiders. It’s just a pity what kind of person the Immortal Saint Ancestor is; his requirements for choosing a Disciple to inherit are also extremely strict. The Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace tried for tens of thousands of years without any effect, and finally, out of helplessness, they organized this Holy Spirit Tournament, hoping to select a Disciple with Aptitude to gain the Saint Ancestor’s approval.” Ku Xuzi added, “It is precisely because of this that the Cultivation of participating Disciples cannot exceed the Chaos Yuan Immortal. Because whether one can obtain the Saint Ancestor’s Legacy has no relation to strength; what is valued is the Spiritual Root, it is talent.” Xuan Yuan Linglong was somewhat surprised:

“But after so many years, with so many talents in the entire Chaotic Saint Realm, has no one’s talent been recognized?”

“Not yet,” Dragon Granny said.

“The Immortal Saint Ancestor wants to find a Legacy Disciple, and their strength must eventually reach the Saint Ancestor’s Rank. Naturally, ordinary talent cannot bear this Opportunity. So it’s normal that no Disciples meeting the standard have appeared after all these years. However, I feel that this time should be the end of it. With your Spotless Spiritual Root talent, you will surely gain the Saint Ancestor’s approval.” After speaking, she looked at her Disciple, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

“Hahaha, this Old Man feels that Heaven is blessing my Yunhai Sect, allowing me to pick up such a promising Disciple at this time.” Speaking of this, Ku Xuzi looked proudly at Dragon Granny, “You two should also thank me, otherwise, if registration closed in two more days, wouldn’t you have missed this Holy Spirit Tournament?” Dragon Granny snorted coldly: “Receiving a promising Disciple is my luck, what does it have to do with you? Besides, it’s your Yunhai Sect that missed the Holy Spirit Tournament; my Purple Moon Mountain has already registered one hundred and seven participating Disciples.” Yun Qianyin said with a smile: “My Piaoxiang Valley also registered ninety-five people.”

“Uh…” Ku Xuzi’s old face immediately flushed.

“What if you have more people? Their Aptitude can’t compare to my one Disciple.” Ye Bufan somewhat understood. It turned out that Purple Moon Mountain and Piaoxiang Valley were both large Sects, selecting around a hundred Genius Disciples, while Yunhai Sect currently only had him.

Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Ku Xuzi quickly said, “Good Disciple, don’t listen to their nonsense. My Yunhai Sect has always preferred quality over quantity, only accepting Genius Disciples, which is why our numbers are a bit smaller. If I, your Master, wanted to accept Disciples, there would be countless people scrambling to join.” As soon as he finished speaking, Dragon Granny snorted coldly,

“That Old thing has no other abilities, but his bragging skills are first-rate.” As everyone chatted, Ye Bufan gathered a lot of information about the Chaotic Saint Realm.

After another two or three hours, a large mountain appeared before everyone. This mountain was towering and majestic, with an extraordinary Aura, and its Peak was extremely flat, as if someone had cut off the top.

From afar, a huge banner could be seen, with the large characters “Holy Spirit Tournament Registration Office” written on it. The banner was for the Holy Spirit Tournament registration and the first round of assessment.

There were also a dozen people around him, but registration was already nearing its end, so there weren’t many people, and it didn’t seem busy.

“Administrator, I’ve brought my Disciple to register.” Ku Xuzi greeted Qiu Ji, and soon someone came before them with a bronze mirror.

This mirror was three feet long and one foot wide, somewhat resembling a bronze dressing mirror, yet it emitted a rich Chaos Aura.

The Sky Gazing Mirror, the simple chaotic spiritual treasure mentioned earlier by everyone. Qiu Ji glanced at them: “Who goes first?”

“I’ll go first. This is my newly accepted Disciple of Yunhai Sect, Ye Bufan…” Ku Xuzi registered first, and then Ye Bufan stood before the Sky Gazing Mirror as required.

Then, a flash of light, and a dazzling white light completely exposed his body. In a short while, he heard someone say,

“Ninth-Rank Chaos Yuan Immortal Peak!”
