Chapter 525 Thousand Sect Competition

"Sigh, it seems there is no way to continue my Breakthrough in the short term."

Inside the Myriad Radiance Sect, Wu Yifan concluded his closed-door cultivation, let out a sigh, and wore a rather helpless expression on his face.

But there was nothing to be done. In truth, he had already prepared himself mentally. To break through from a Mortal to the Early Stage of the Heavenly God Realm in less than a thousand years was already a very impressive feat.

As for everything else that follows, let fate take its course.

Just then, a voice appeared in Wu Yifan's mind.

"Holy Son Yifan, come to the Sect main hall."

"That is Elder Qian's voice. Is the Thousand Sect Competition about to begin?"

Wu Yifan thought to himself. He was quite concerned about the Thousand Sect Competition; after all, it contained the Profound Origin Fruit that could allow his Ancient Desolate Dao Body to advance from the Peak to perfection. He could not give up on the Profound Origin Fruit.

Soon, Wu Yifan left his cultivation area and arrived at the Sect main hall. Upon his arrival, he saw that the elders of the Sect had gathered inside.

Wu Yifan merely glanced at them before withdrawing his gaze. He quickly located Elder Qian and walked over to him.

"Elder Qian."

"You've arrived. Take a seat. Next, we will be announcing matters regarding the Thousand Sect Competition."

Elder Qian looked at Wu Yifan and said with a smile.

Wu Yifan nodded, then took his seat and closed his eyes.

Not long after, as the last figure entered, God Lord Wan Guang, who was sitting on the Sect Master's throne, opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, you must surely know why I have summoned you here. In one month, the Thousand Sect Competition hosted by the Eight Desolations Sect will commence.

The Disciples present here are the ones whom the Myriad Radiance Sect will send to participate in the Thousand Sect Competition. If you wish to withdraw, you may do so now. However, once you arrive at the Eight Desolations Sect, you will no longer be able to withdraw."

Upon hearing the Sect Master's words, the expressions of the Disciples present turned solemn. It was clear that they all understood what the Thousand Sect Competition was.

Soon, a Disciple spoke up.

"Sect Master, I wonder what benefits there are for us to participate in the Thousand Sect Competition?"

"There are naturally benefits. Every Disciple who goes to participate in the Thousand Sect Competition will receive one thousand points. Furthermore, if you achieve a good ranking in the Thousand Sect Competition, I will have additional rewards."

The Disciples participating in the Thousand Sect Competition were not guaranteed to survive, so the risk was extremely high. God Lord Wan Guang knew that if he could not give them some motivation, they probably would not have the confidence to participate.

However, God Lord Wan Guang knew that the Myriad Radiance Sect's confidence this time did not come from these Disciples, but from Wu Yifan.

Thinking of this, God Lord Wan Guang looked in Wu Yifan's direction, only to see Wu Yifan resting with his eyes closed, his attitude extremely perfunctory. This caused a surge of dissatisfaction to arise within God Lord Wan Guang, but he could not say anything, as Wu Yifan was indeed the Disciple with the most powerful talent in the Myriad Radiance Sect currently.

Upon hearing that they could receive one thousand points just by participating in the Thousand Sect Competition, the Disciples present became excited, as points could be used to exchange for many things in the Sect's Myriad Things Pavilion that were usually hard to obtain, including divine weapons, Divine Pills, and so on.

One thousand points were enough to exchange for many good things.

"Sect Master, I wonder what the rules of the Thousand Sect Competition are?"

Another Disciple asked curiously.

God Lord Wan Guang nodded in satisfaction, then spoke with a solemn expression.

"The Thousand Sect Competition was set up by the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor to test the strength of the thousand Sects. He created a God Realm. Immortals and deities who enter the God Realm will have their strength fully preserved. You only need to keep fighting; the later you are eliminated, the higher your ranking will be. The one who persists until the end is the champion."

"Additionally, there are many Heaven And Earth Treasures within the God Realm that even God Emperors would be extremely tempted by. Once you obtain them, they are yours."

"Furthermore, according to your ranking, as long as you can enter the top one hundred, you will receive a reward from the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor."

"Someone once received a reward from the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor and broke through from a True God to the Heavenly God Realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone became excited. If they could receive a reward from the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor, they could soar into the sky.

But within the crowd, Wu Yifan remained with his eyes closed, his heart completely unmoved. He had no interest in the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor's reward; the only thing that could interest him was that Profound Origin Fruit.

"Alright, if any of you still wish to withdraw, you may leave now. If you do not leave, then under my leadership, we shall head to the Eight Desolations Sect now."

At this moment, God Lord Wan Guang stood up and spoke to the Disciples present with an extremely serious look in his eyes.

These Disciples had all been recommended by the elders, so their talent was naturally quite good—of course, provided they were not compared to Wu Yifan.

As God Lord Wan Guang's words fell, not a single Disciple present left. After all, everyone had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood; now that there was an opportunity to become stronger, how could they possibly shrink back?

Watching this scene, God Lord Wan Guang nodded in satisfaction, then said.

"Since that is the case, let us go!"

After saying this, God Lord Wan Guang waved his large hand, directly taking all the Disciples present into his Internal World, and then rushed toward the direction of the Eight Desolations Sect.

Meanwhile, inside the Eight Desolations Sect, within a Great World, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor looked at the group of Eight Desolations Sect elders before him and said in a calm tone, though his expression was extremely serious.

"Everyone, the Thousand Sect Competition is about to begin. Are the necessary things prepared?"

As the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor's words fell, the elders present exchanged glances, then spoke respectfully.

"Sect Master, the Eight Desolations Divine Realm is already prepared. Furthermore, the number of Immortal Beasts and Divine Beasts inside is sufficient for the Thousand Sect Competition."

"Sect Master, the Sects under the Eight Desolations Sect have all been contacted, and they are already on their way with their Disciples."

Hearing the elders' report, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, you have done well. The Thousand Sect Competition is the means by which our Eight Desolations Sect establishes its status in the surrounding area; there must absolutely be no mistakes."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The elders replied one after another.

The Eight Desolations Divine Emperor gave further instructions before allowing the elders to leave.

After the elders had all left, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor's expression appeared extremely grave, his brows furrowed tightly, and from time to time, an irrepressible sound escaped his mouth, making him look as if he were enduring immense pain.

After a long while, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor finally suppressed the power within his body that was causing him pain. His eyes were extremely complex, and he sighed, muttering to himself.

"Time is running out. I hope to find a solution as soon as possible."

After saying this, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor went down to resume his closed-door cultivation, but a faint, ominous aura constantly lingered about his body.
