Mo Daolin: "..."

I almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Su! Mu! Xue!"

"What are you doing? Trying to out-shout me? Do you think I'm afraid of you? What business is it of yours how I talk to Zixiao?"

Su Muxue immediately retorted.

Mo Daolin: "Me???"

"Uncle-Master..."

Qi Zixiao was both amused and exasperated. "Let's listen to Master's arrangements. Since this matter was initiated by the Three Saints City and jointly organized by the Seven Great Holy Lands, it must be full of powerful figures and great experts. It won't be so easy to succeed."

"Right!"

Mo Daolin finally found an opportunity to speak, and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Sure enough, my sweet little girl is still my sweet little girl; she even knows how to speak up for me, and she's not a heartless scoundrel.

Pooh!

I almost got corrupted by Su the Runner!

However, Qi Zixiao's next sentence left Mo Daolin speechless.

"Even if we're going to take action, we need to get there and do some on-site investigation before we can..."

Mo Daolin: "(⊙o⊙)???"

"Well said!"

Su Muxue smiled broadly, "That's how it should be. When we do things, we should think thrice before we act and plan carefully before we move. We must never be rash."

"..."

"Listen to me!"

Mo Daolin was so angry that his liver ached, and it seemed like the cooling-off period was getting longer, but if he didn't speak up, Su Muxue would definitely interrupt again...

What should we do?!

Left with no other choice, Mo Daolin was driven to desperation. With a wave of his hand, characters materialized in mid-air...

Is your speech too slow and lacking in tact?

Can I write it down then?

The words appeared one after another, and in a short time, they revealed all of Mo Daolin's thoughts and arrangements.

This Heaven's Chosen Assembly of geniuses is open to all, whether they are immortal cultivators or demon cultivators, as long as they are less than a hundred years old!

At that time, there will be countless geniuses, like carp crossing a river, and they will also have many protectors. We must not be careless.

Not only that, the Seven Great Holy Lands will send their elders to oversee the situation. You must not make a move, or the consequences will be severe!

This time, I have decided that the geniuses of our Purple Mansion Holy Land will be led by Zi Xiao to the Three Saints City to participate in this Heaven's Chosen Assembly.

The outcome is not important; the priority is self-preservation.

Only when your own safety is guaranteed should you take a gamble.

Zixiao, do you understand now?

Do you understand?

It wasn't complicated at all. Qi Zixiao understood Mo Daolin's idea at a glance, but she was also a little confused.

"Master, may I ask why the Three Saints City wish to host this Heaven's Chosen Assembly?"

"What benefit would that bring him?"

Qi Zixiao couldn't help but start thinking about these related questions.

Having experienced living on Earth, Qi Zixiao was noticeably more 'cautious' and 'sensible'.

For example, if someone wants to do something, and this thing will cost him a lot, then he must have a motive, right?

Why did he do this? Why was it worth paying such a price?

One should always be wary of others!

Especially in the Cultivation World, it is a dog-eat-dog world.

Once you leave the holy land, you'll find yourself surrounded by dangers.

Although the Three Saints City have maintained good relations with the Seven Great Holy Lands over the years, who can be sure that City Lord Huo Yuan doesn't have other ideas?

After all, in the Cultivation World, it's not uncommon for someone who has always been a kind-hearted person to suddenly "tear off their mask" and reveal their true evil and heretical nature.

And it wasn't just once or twice!

According to them, the Three Lifetimes Method must be very important, after all, it can allow a person to live a third life... That's terrifying!

It's like giving someone three chances to cultivate immortality through three lifetimes. By combining all their knowledge and theories, their chances of becoming an immortal will naturally be much higher!

Why do countless cultivators struggle so hard to cross the threshold of immortality and defy the heavens to cultivate immortality?

Isn't it all for the sake of becoming an immortal one day, seeking eternal life, and roaming freely between heaven and earth?

This further highlights the importance of the Three Lifetimes Method.

The problem is that such an important Three Lifetimes Method must be a secret of the Three Saints City, and it is possible that only successive city lords can practice it.

So here's the question.

Why would Huo Yuan want to use the Three Lifetimes Method as a reward?

That doesn't make sense!

The Heaven's Chosen Assembly...

Whether a prodigy is powerful or not is none of his business as the dignified city lord of the Three Saints City.

Does that mean that deciding the winner would benefit him, and even greatly benefit him? There's no such logic!

Whether someone is good or not, what does it have to do with Huo Yuan?

This is what puzzles Qi Zixiao the most at this moment.

"Truly worthy of being the successor I value!"

Faced with Qi Zixiao's question, Su Muxue immediately smiled, "That's how you should think carefully in order to survive to the end!"

"..."

Mo Daolin, his face dark, waved his hand again, and another long text appeared, clearly indicating that he did not want to give Su Muxue a chance to continue speaking.

Huo Yuan's purpose is currently unknown, but the Three Lifetimes Method is important. If we have the opportunity to find out, we will do our best.

Meanwhile, the friction between the Seven Great Holy Lands has a long history. Although it was brought up by the Three Saints City this time, I think the other Six Great Holy Lands probably share the same thoughts as me.

Take this opportunity... to show off your skills, or perhaps, to probe the truth!

Therefore, we must participate in this battle.

As for the Three Saints City and Huo Yuan... we will keep a close eye on them. Under the watchful eyes of the Seven Great Holy Lands, numerous large sects, and countless powerful figures, even Huo Yuan cannot cause any trouble!

Clearly, Mo Daolin had also considered this question.

After all, this is indeed somewhat suspicious.

A powerful figure in a high position suddenly offers his most important secret technique as a reward, all for the purpose of hosting a Heaven's Chosen Assembly.

If he had explained that the ultimate winner must become his disciple, then it would have been understandable that Huo Yuan wanted to find the most outstanding successor.

But there's no such saying. It's as if Huo Yuan was just doing it out of love, wanting to bring out the Three Lifetimes Method and watch a group of young prodigies fight to the death...

But that doesn't make any sense!

Who was Huo Yuan?

Although Qi Zixiao was unsure of his strength, he was at least one of the later stages of the Sendai realm, right?

Would someone like that want to watch a group of young prodigies fight to the death?

Once upon a time, he was a prodigy himself, and who knows how many other prodigies he had crushed!

So... something must have happened!

However, Mo Daolin stated that he and the other six Holy Master of the Six Great Holy Lands were not to be trifled with.

I knew Huo Yuan must have had an ulterior motive.

What is the purpose of this?

It doesn't matter! We don't need to know, because we have absolute confidence in our own strength and are not afraid at all. If you're so capable, then make your move!

Upon hearing these words, Su Muxue immediately shook her head.

"Stupid, utterly stupid!"

"To remain unchanged in the face of all changes? It sounds impressive, but in reality, it is a manifestation of incompetence and passivity."

"If you ask me, we should do the opposite and strike first..."

"Shut up!"

Mo Daolin rubbed his temples, annoyed, and scolded him.

Then, he waved again.

Zixiao, you will lead the team on this trip to the Three Saints City.

Later, I will announce this matter within the sect, and anyone who wishes to participate may go.

As for the selection of elders to accompany and protect them...

As soon as the text appeared, Su Muxue stepped forward, her face beaming, as if to say, "That's right, it's me!"

However, the text continues...

Jiu Wu and Xiao Zhan will go together to ensure everything goes smoothly!

Su Muxue was stunned for a moment, then immediately bared her teeth and brandished her claws. "You old bastard, what do you mean?!"

"Why won't you let me go?"

"Those two? They can't possibly be as powerful as me!?"

"What if something happens while I'm not around? Can they handle it?!"

Su Muxue was furious.

Why not myself?

Isn't this something I excel at?

Shouldn't I have been sent? Who can handle things as well as I can? Jiu Wu? Xiao Zhan? Although the two of them combined are not bad, can they compare to me?

Su the Runner expressed his dissatisfaction.

However...

Mo Daolin simply gave her a cold glare, not even bothering to explain.

You're reliable in your work? Who can compare to you?

Don't you have any self-awareness at all?!

Yes, your strength is indeed impressive. Unless the Holy Master of the major holy lands and those old monsters who have been hiding for countless years come out, basically no one can defeat you.

But the problem is...

Is this a competition to see who's the best?!

Are you to protect them?

Hehehe!

I'm afraid that once they arrive in the Three Saints City, chaos will ensue, and within a few days, the entire team will be hated by everyone!

after all...

Compared to your ability to cause trouble and create problems, your strength is simply... negligible!

Ignoring Su Muxue's frustration, Mo Daolin looked at Qi Zixiao and asked softly, "Do you have any... questions?"

"Master, where is the Holy Son?"

Qi Zixiao spoke.

She did have some questions.

In terms of sect status, he was on par with the Holy Son.

However, in such a battle of prodigies, in theory, the ' Holy Son ' would often be more proactive...

Not only was the Holy Son a pretentious show-off to begin with.

Also because one tree cannot support a forest...

Seven Great Holy Lands, except for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, have Holy Son Saintess.

Those major sects also have their own ' First Sequence '.

Qi Zixiao was confident in her abilities, but confidence and arrogance are two different things.

And there's another problem.

In principle, this matter should have been discussed and agreed upon by Mo Daolin and Jiu Wu before being announced.

But now that they have summoned him, the Holy Son is nowhere to be seen.

Is that show-off not going to attend this grand event?

That's quite rare!

Such a great event for showing off, why wouldn't you go?

"I'm home now... and I'm training hard in the secret realm."

Mo Daolin responded.

"Going home?"

"The Qian Yuan Secret Realm?"

Qi Zixiao understood.

The Holy Son is actually a prince of the Qian Yuan Dynasty, holding a high position and possessing extraordinary talent!

The Qian Yuan Dynasty was not an ordinary mortal dynasty, but a 'celestial dynasty' that cultivated immortality and ruled over tens of thousands of miles of territory in the Eastern Wasteland.

The Qian Yuan Secret Realm is the foundation upon which the Qian Yuan Dynasty stands. It is said to contain countless opportunities, and any member of the Qian Yuan Dynasty bloodline can enter when the time is right to seek their own destiny.

Secret realms are quite common in the Cultivation World.

For example, the Purple Mansion Holy Land has multiple secret realms, each with its own unique opportunities.

However, it now seems that the Holy Son is clearly running out of time.
