Chapter 5140: Less than one in ten thousand?

"Senior! What do you mean by this?!" Xiao Fan looked at Holy Ancestor Kongchen.

"Hehehe… kid, if you don't want it, you can return it to me!" Holy Ancestor Kongchen sneered.

"A gift from a Senior! This Junior cannot refuse!" Xiao Fan shook his head repeatedly, grinning: "This Junior is grateful for your kindness, Senior!"

"You! Sigh… prepare well recently; don't let my efforts go to waste." Holy Ancestor Kongchen shook his head helplessly.

The group chatted for a while longer, and Xiao Fan learned many insights on how to Cultivate from Holy Ancestor Kongchen.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan also learned about the Realm that Holy Ancestor Kongchen was pursuing.

The Realm of Transcendence.

Holy Ancestor Kongchen was currently in the Ancient Emperor Realm, and he had spent his entire life pursuing the Realm of Transcendence.

It was just a pity that it remained out of reach, and he simply could not touch the threshold of transcendence.

The three Old Ancestors who had previously reached the Realm of Transcendence had gone missing, and no one knew where they had gone.

It was precisely because the three Old Ancestors were not present that the Ancient Burial Holy Land had declined.

Of course.

Even though the three Old Ancestors were not there, the Barrier Seal of the Three Realms before the Ancient Burial had still not been broken by anyone.

This showed just how powerful and terrifying the three Old Ancestors were.

According to Holy Ancestor Kongchen, many Holy Lands remained well-behaved because they feared that the three Old Ancestors would return and settle scores.

Only Shengtian Mansion was different; when the Ancient Burial Holy Land declined, they began to expand their territory and wage war wantonly.

It was also for this reason that Holy Ancestor Kongchen even suspected that Shengtian Mansion might have colluded with foreign enemies.

However, Holy Ancestor Kongchen did not have any evidence.

Holy Ancestor Kongchen told Xiao Fan all these speculations without holding anything back.

"What happens next depends on you." Holy Ancestor Kongchen smiled.

"I… you're putting a lot of pressure on me." Xiao Fan sighed and gave Holy Ancestor Kongchen an annoyed look.

"Hehehe… I've already given you the immortal core, so it's normal to feel some pressure." Holy Ancestor Kongchen smiled and slowly stood up: "Alright, I'm leaving. You must win the competition in a few days, otherwise… I will take the immortal core back."

With that, Holy Ancestor Kongchen turned into a white light and disappeared.

"This… why does this immortal core sound even rarer than the divine tribulation immortal fruit?!" Xiao Fan became interested and looked at the King of Ten Thousand Weapons.

"Hehehe… what did you think? The immortal core is the tree, the thing that can nurture more divine tribulation immortal fruit. As for the divine tribulation immortal fruit, the success rate after consuming it is minuscule. Without the protection of the immortal core, I'm afraid… the chance of success is less than one in ten thousand." The King of Ten Thousand Weapons smiled bitterly.

"Less than one in ten thousand? Really?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Of course it's true!"

"I am a Prodigy!"

"Hehe… then the nine Heavenly Tribulations you face will definitely be even stronger." The King of Ten Thousand Weapons laughed: "Kid, prepare well. Remember one thing! Spare no cost or means! You must succeed in Undergoing Tribulation!"

Hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded heavily, and then the King of Ten Thousand Weapons returned to the ancient painting.

Xiao Fan let out a breath and carefully put away the immortal core.

At a critical moment, the immortal core could withstand three Heavenly Tribulations, turning nine tribulations into six… significantly reducing the difficulty.

If he did not use the immortal core, he might trigger the tenth Heavenly Tribulation, causing a heaven-shaking transformation within himself.

In short, the immortal core was extremely important, whether it was for triggering the tenth Heavenly Tribulation or for withstanding three Heavenly Tribulations.

Xiao Fan glanced at the Token from Holy Ancestor Kongchen in his hand and grinned: "I am the Successor of the Ancient Burial, so after this… it shouldn't be too much."

Soon, the seven-day deadline arrived.

The day of the Grand Competition, where one had to persist for ten years in the Divine Gate Secret Realm.

Xiao Fan, Ye Miaoyin, Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Qing were all present, with Old Ancestor Qingyun and the Elders of Qingyun Academy standing to the side.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Qing, Xiao Xuan, Miaoyin… you must work hard later! Even if you can't take first place! You must still work hard!" Old Ancestor Qingyun said earnestly.

For Qingyun Academy, this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.
