Exchange Meeting Begins, Tempting Rewards

"I can too?" "Me as well?" "I have a chance too?"

As Li Yun's words fell, Duobao, Yu Ding, and Huang Long were all greatly shocked. They never expected that in Li Yun's eyes, they too possessed the aptitude to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, and could even reach the eight-revolution Quasi-Saint level. If that were the case, should they continue cultivating their current techniques, or choose to switch to the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique? At this moment, the few of them fell silent, instinctively sinking into contemplation.

"This~"

On the other hand, Jin Ling, Wudang, Taiyi, Cihang, and the others exchanged glances, their expressions complex after looking at each other. Since Li Yun had not mentioned them, it meant that in his view, even if they cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, they could not reach the eight-revolution level. Although this result freed them from hesitation, it also made one thing clear: their talent was inferior to those who had been named. Instinctively, Cihang spoke with some displeasure: "Junior Brother Li Yun, we accept that Senior Brother Guang Chengzi and Senior Brother Yu Ding can reach the level you mentioned, but why can Junior Brother Huang Long also achieve it? When we took him as a disciple, Master said that Junior Brother Huang Long's talent was the lowest among the twelve of us!"

At these words, the other Chan Teachings disciples also looked at Li Yun. Though they said nothing, the doubt in their eyes could not be concealed. Even Huang Long himself, after opening his mouth, lowered his head and said, "What Senior Brother Cihang says is true; my talent is indeed the worst."

"No, no, no~"

Seeing this, Li Yun waved his hand, then said calmly, "What Second Martial Uncle said refers to cultivation talent, not talent for the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. Don't forget the entry conditions I mentioned earlier for cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique: a powerful physical body talent and Primordial Spirit talent. Senior Brother Huang Long is the only special existence among you all, as he is a Nine-Clawed Yellow Dragon. You should all know that within the dragon race, nine claws represent the pinnacle, so his physical body talent is absolutely formidable. His Primordial Spirit talent may be somewhat lacking, but it is not incompatible. Most importantly, Senior Brother Huang Long is pure-blooded among the dragon race. His status within the dragon race may be low now, but if he cultivates the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique to the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, invincibility at the same level is inevitable. At that time, would the dragon race still ignore him? With Senior Brother Huang Long's identity and status, combined with sufficient strength, he could fully mobilize the resources of the Four Seas Dragon Race for his own use. Then, while the difficulty of reaching nine revolutions is great, reaching the peak of eight revolutions is not impossible, given the vast wealth of the Four Seas Dragon Race and the ancient dragon race."

Upon hearing this, Cihang and the others fell silent. Although Li Yun's words were somewhat exaggerated, they were undeniably true. Once Huang Long truly mobilized the resources of the Four Seas Dragon Race for himself, he would indeed be beyond their comparison. With sufficient resources, the difficulty of cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique would also be greatly reduced. Then...

"Dang, dang, dang~"

At that moment, the sound of a bell rang out, interrupting the conversation between Li Yun and the others. Following the sound, they saw a massive Silver White Great Bell swaying in midair, its dense innate spiritual energy marking it as a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. At the same time, the doors of the Jade Void Palace opened, and Grand Pure One Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shangqing Tongtian walked out from within.

"They're here."

Seeing this, the cultivators present all perked up. They knew that the Three Teachings Exchange Conference was about to begin. For a moment, the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects were all stirred, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation. After all, the combat tournament of this Three Teachings Exchange Conference was an opportunity to stand out. As long as one performed well enough, they could gain the attention and recognition of the Saints. In particular, the registered disciples and outer disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects were well aware that if they became the victors, even if they didn't become direct disciples, entering the inner sect as inner disciples was not impossible.

Thinking this, the disciples, upon seeing the Three Pure Ones appear on the scene, bowed without hesitation and said, "Greetings to Grand Martial Uncle, Master, and Third Martial Uncle!"

"Greetings to Grand Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, and Master!"

"..."

The Three Pure Ones took in this scene and nodded in satisfaction. After exchanging glances, Laozi spoke first: "This Three Teachings Exchange Conference is divided into three parts: the Combat Tournament, the Banquet, and the Sermon. The Combat Tournament will begin first. Disciples at the Earth Immortal Realm, Celestial Immortal Realm, Mysterious Immortal Realm, True Immortal Realm, Grand Unity True Immortal Realm, and Golden Immortal Realm will each compete on arenas within their corresponding ranges, selecting three final victors from each. After the Combat Tournament, the disciples of the three sects will hold a century-long Banquet to rest and recuperate. A century later, we three Saints will each give a thousand-year Sermon, granting you all an opportunity and hope for self-improvement."

Hiss—

After hearing Laozi's explanation, the disciples of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath. Even Li Yun hadn't expected this exchange conference to be so extensive. The Banquet was nothing special, but the Sermon by the Three Pure Ones afterward was a tremendous temptation. Each Saint would preach for a thousand years. If one could seize this opportunity, improving one's realm within those three thousand years was inevitable, and even crossing one or two major realms was not impossible. For a moment, the disciples of the three sects were all extremely excited. Especially those whose strength was insufficient and were destined to be supporting roles—even if they couldn't stand out in the Combat Tournament, the gains from the three-thousand-year Sermon were still worth looking forward to.

With this in mind, the disciples of the three sects all bowed and said, "Thank you for the Saint's grace!"

"Many thanks for the Saint's gracious gift!"

"..."

Laozi paid this no mind. He turned his head to the side and said, "Second Brother, I leave the rest to you."

"Understood, Big Brother!"

With a word of acknowledgment, Yuanshi stepped forward, unwilling to be outdone, and declared, "Silence!"

In an instant, the square fell quiet.

Under the gaze of the vast crowd, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke softly: "In this Combat Tournament, three victors will emerge from each realm's Arena. These victors will each receive a single Innate Spirit Treasure as a reward. However, those below the True Immortal Realm will be awarded Low-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures; those in the True Immortal Realm and Grand Unity True Immortal Realm will receive Mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasures; and the victors of the Golden Immortal Realm will start with High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures as their reward."

"Beyond this, the top ten of each Arena will be granted a divine ability and an escape technique cultivation method passed down by their respective sect. As for who exactly obtains them, that will depend on your individual luck, strength, and means!"

What!

Innate Spirit Treasures!

Divine abilities and escape techniques!

After hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's explanation, the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects erupted into fervor.

Aside from Li Yun and Xuandu, who paid these matters no heed—even High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures stirred little excitement in them, after all, Laozi had directly bestowed a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure from the very start, something ordinary disciples could never obtain.

But beyond them, even the Direct Disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects were now stirring restlessly, brimming with exhilaration.

Innate Spirit Treasures.

Divine abilities and escape techniques.

These were all things they urgently needed, all things they yearned for, all things that had previously been beyond their reach~
