Chapter 4331: Genuine Sky-peeking Mirror

Xuan Yuan Linglong looked at the Hu Ling Dao Fruit, “Ye Dage, is this thing very powerful?”

“It is extremely precious,” Ye Bufan said. “It can rapidly increase a Cultivator’s cultivation, but its greatest effect is on improving one’s Mental Energy.”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Ku Xuzi, “Master, if you eat this fruit, what Realm can you reach?”

“Me eat?” Ku Xuzi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, “Just three minor Realms, no more. This thing is a treasure rarely seen in a million years. I can’t eat it. It’s most suitable for you to consume.”

Ye Bufan frowned, “Master, is this Hu Ling Dao Fruit common in the Chaotic Saint Realm?”

“Common?” Ku Xuzi shook his head like a rattle-drum, “What a joke! This Old Man has lived for so many years and this is the first time I’ve seen it. I’m telling you, we’ve definitely found a treasure this time. This thing is simply priceless, something countless people dream of but can’t even see.”

“That’s strange. Since it’s such a precious item, why would Linghu Li Ge take it out as a reward? What is her purpose?”

As soon as Ye Bufan spoke, everyone snapped out of their excitement.

They all knew very well that the fall of the Immortal Saint Ancestor back then was very likely related to Linghu Li Ge, and the previous assassination attempts on Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts should also have come from Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace.

According to normal speculation, the one who could win the top position in the Saint Spirit Convention must be the Reincarnation of the Saint Ancestor.

In this situation, they would be enemies with Linghu Li Ge, so it was indeed abnormal for her to offer such a valuable treasure as a reward.

Yuhua Ling said, “Could there be something wrong with this thing? Could it be poisoned?”

Ye Bufan held the Hu Ling Dao Fruit in his palm, carefully scanned it with his Divine Sense three or four times, and then sniffed it with his nose, before shaking his head.

“No poison, no markings. I can’t see any tricks done to it at all.”

Ku Xuzi stroked his beard, his small eyes wide, his face full of confusion, “This is strange. What exactly is her purpose?”

Xuan Yuan Linglong said, “Could it be that we guessed wrong before, that the events of the past had nothing to do with Linghu Li Ge, and she is now showing goodwill to the Reincarnation of the Saint Ancestor? After all, the two were once husband and wife.”

“That’s impossible.” Ku Xuzi shook his head, “If it were truly as you say, she could have done it privately. It’s impossible for her to do such a thing in front of everyone. Moreover, the mastermind behind the scenes back then was extremely powerful, capable of harming even the Immortal Saint Ancestor. If it truly had nothing to do with her, how could this woman have remained securely in Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace for so many years?”

“Although nothing seems wrong, one thing is certain: Linghu Li Ge definitely has ill intentions. Since I haven’t found anything now, I’ll study it slowly.”

Next, Ku Xuzi guarded outside the room, while Ye Bufan took Xuan Yuan Linglong back to the Dragon King Palace.

The next morning, the three of them left their rooms and met with Ku Xuzi, then hurried together towards Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace.

Arriving at yesterday's competition venue, it was still packed with people. Although these people couldn't see the Saint Ancestor statue or witness it firsthand, they all wanted to see the results here and see if any miracles would appear.

The Immortal Saint Ancestor statue is inside the Saint Ancestor Hall, and the hall is in the center of Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace. One must know that this was once Ye Buxiu's驻地.

According to previous regulations, idlers were certainly not allowed to enter. Each Disciple who entered the top ten could bring three strong Cultivators from their Sect.

And even if these people entered Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace, they could only wait outside the hall and were not qualified to admire the Saint Ancestor statue.

This time, as usual, Duanmu Feng announced the rules, allowing the major Sects to select the strong Cultivators they intended to bring in, and then led everyone into Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace.

Ye Bufan's side was simple; apart from him, the entire Yunhai Sect only had Ku Xuzi left.

Purple Moon Mountain and Piaoxiang Valley were incredibly excited and chose their strong Cultivators.

On Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts's side, Tianwu Sect didn't get a single qualification to enter. Besides Ding Yuan and Luo Jisheng, there was another middle-aged strong Cultivator, and the three of them entered together.

Upon entering, Ye Bufan truly realized how vast Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace was, almost comparable to a small city.

He suddenly thought of a question and whispered to Ku Xuzi, “Does the Saint Ancestor statue really have a Legacy? Has no one doubted it after so many years without any results? If it truly does, when was it left?”

This was also the doubt in his heart. The former Ye Buxiu was ambushed, so normally, he shouldn't have had time to leave a Legacy.

“This cannot be false!” Ku Xuzi said, “It is recorded in the Yunhai Sect's ancient texts that Saint Ancestor was a Prodigy of his generation, incredibly knowledgeable, almost nothing he didn't know. Before he was ambushed, he already felt something was wrong and performed a divination for himself. Although divination cannot be used on oneself, Saint Ancestor's abilities reached the heavens, so he was able to discern some good or bad fortune. The result of the divination was extremely ominous, so he prepared for a rainy day, creating a statue of himself within this hall and leaving his Legacy power here.”

Ye Bufan nodded. No wonder after a million years, no one had obtained the Legacy, yet no one doubted it, and they still eagerly participated in the Saint Spirit Convention. So that was why.

As they spoke, everyone went deeper into Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace and arrived at the central location. A magnificent hall appeared before their eyes, with a huge plaque hanging above the door, bearing the five characters: Immortal Saint Ancestor Hall.

Ye Bufan raised his eyebrows. This hall was quite similar to the Immortal Saint Emperor Hall he had seen in the Immortal Realm, only more majestic and imposing. He wondered what connection there was between the two.

Arriving in front of the main hall, Duanmu Feng stopped and turned to look at everyone again.

“The top ten participants of the Saint Spirit Convention may enter the main hall to admire the Saint Ancestor statue, but both entry and exit will require a strength test with the Sky Gazing Mirror.”

“This…” After these words were spoken, everyone present was slightly stunned.

Some of the strong Cultivators from various Sects had been here before, and normally, they would just enter the main hall directly; there was no procedure for re-testing their strength.

Ku Xuzi asked, “Elder, the Saint Spirit Convention has already ended, and the rankings are even set. Why is there still a need to test strength?”

“This is the Palace Master’s order. Don’t ask why, just execute it.” Duanmu Feng’s expression was cold, clearly not wanting to explain too much. After speaking, he flipped his wrist, and a mirror appeared in his palm.

Ye Bufan’s pupils suddenly contracted. He had seen the Sky Gazing Mirror in the three rounds of tests before the Saint Spirit Convention, but compared to this one, the Chaotic True Qi was far too different.

It was clear that this was not a replica, but the true Sky Gazing Mirror.

Adding a procedure at this time, and using the true Sky Gazing Mirror, indicated that the other party wanted to see through everyone's strength.

The reason for this move was likely due to two considerations from Linghu Li Ge.

First, to prevent anyone from obtaining the Immortal Saint Ancestor's Legacy and then concealing their cultivation to secretly leave.

Second, she wanted to see if he had taken the Hu Ling Dao Fruit, or rather, she wanted to ascertain his true strength.

As he pondered, Duanmu Feng’s gaze already fell upon him, “Young Master Ye, as the top performer, you go first!”
