Countless blazing eyes focused on "Investiture of the Gods".
In the eyes of the vast majority of monks, names that reach the top of the lists of various realms will inevitably be monopolized by the core royal families of the nine overlord forces.
This group of people has the best resources, the strongest instructors, and the most top-notch techniques. They have great innate advantages.
However, there are still countless middle-level forces and sects Lineage who are unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They devoted all their efforts to the family and devoted resources to their most talented children to fight for the slim hope.
Once a disciple can reach the top ten of Investiture of the Gods and obtain the qualification to enter Fifth God Kingdom Legacy Ground, what it will bring is likely to be the rise and fall of a sect and a Lineage Future for thousands of years.
This opportunity is too great!
Lan Shi'er came to Cultivation Chamber of Jiang Ping An and told the other party the big news.
Jiang Ping An felt his heart move slightly after hearing this news.
Fifth God Kingdom is a complete Legacy Ground specially designed to cultivate gods. It contains exercises, secret techniques, insights and even various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Its value is simply immeasurable.
Even if some things are of no use to you, if you sell them casually, you can definitely exchange them for a large amount of cultivation resources in the outside world.
Chaos Sea Many of the clans Divine Art of the nine major forces are originated from the incomplete inheritance left by the Fifth God Kingdom.
Some even just changed their names.
It's hard to imagine how many good things are hidden in this complete Legacy Ground.
To be valued so highly by the nine Supreme Expert, its value is absolutely beyond imagination.
No wonder Azure King specifically reminded him to attend Investiture of the Gods.
For Blue Sea Country, one more spot means one more chance to achieve amazing success.
Jiang Ping An suppressed his emotions and asked calmly, "Investiture of the Gods, when will the competition for the quota begin? And when will it finally end?"
If he starts immediately, it will be quite disadvantageous for someone like him who has just made a breakthrough and still needs time to settle.
Lan Shi'er explained, "Investiture of the Gods's competition for rankings has always been going on and has never stopped."
"In the Investiture of the Gods World corresponding to each major realm, there are one hundred 'Investiture Mountain' standing there. On every mountain top, there are projections left by the predecessors."
"The challenger needs to defeat the projection on the top of the mountain, replace it with his own projection, and occupy the top of the mountain to win the spot."
"Because this opportunity is of great importance, the nine major forces all want their people to achieve the best ranking. They are currently actively preparing for war and adjusting their status, so the time has been extended."
"The official 'Final Ranking Battle' is set to end in ten years."
"Ten years from now, all the geniuses occupying one hundred Investiture Mountain in each realm will have a real peak showdown to compete for the top ten in each realm and gain the qualification to enter Legacy Ground."
Jiang Ping An nodded slightly, "Ten years... is still enough time to prepare."
If you open Time Array ten times, it is equivalent to still having a hundred years.
Lan Shi'er suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Jiang Ping An's arm, his tone full of reluctance.
"My father Azure King personally ordered that I must participate and get a ranking. He also said that he would personally train me for ten years. In these ten years, I may not be able to see you, uncle."
"That's a good thing."
Jiang Ping An said, "Having personal guidance from Supreme Expert can avoid countless detours and save far more practice time than ten years of hard work."
Along the way, he is well aware of the hardships of having no one to guide him, and having someone to guide him can save a lot of trouble.
Lan Shi'er curled his lips and said with a little resentment, "But, I don't like him. In the eyes of the old man, there is no father-daughter relationship at all. He is willing to train me now just because I have the opportunity to compete for inheritance and gain benefits for the royal family."
Jiang Ping An was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer the question.
Perhaps for beings like Azure King, who have lived for countless thousands of years, they have long been numb to family affection. They have already had their identity, status, women, and children, and they have enjoyed everything they can. The only thing they can pursue is to further their cultivation.
I don't know if Azure King knows that the road leading to Lord God has actually been blocked for a long time.
The two chatted for a long time, mostly Lan Shi'er talking, and Jiang Ping An occasionally responding.
Lan Shi'er is reluctant to leave. This time we say goodbye and see you again ten years later.
For practitioners, ten years is sometimes just a short retreat, but sometimes it is a long period of time that can change a lot.
Finally, a maid sent by the Lan Clan Royal Family respectfully came to urge her, and Lan Shi'er left with one step and three turns.
Send Lan Shi'er away, Jiang Ping An close the quiet room Stone Gate, and turn around slowly.
In the room, at some point, there was a shadow of Dao Body.
A man without any energy fluctuations around his body, who seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment, sat quietly at the table, sipping the tea in the cup with an elegant posture.
His long azure hair was like a flowing river of stars, and his eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to swallow up all light.
This person is Azure King.
"My daughter seems to like you very much."
Azure King put down the teacup, his voice was flat and no emotion could be heard.
Jiang Ping An relied on World Eye's perception to have noticed the other party's appearance long ago.
At this moment, his face remained calm, and he cupped his fists and saluted. "Senior, I have misunderstood. His Highness Shi'er and I have only known each other for a long time, and our relationship is relatively close. It is not a relationship between a man and a woman."
There was no expression on Azure King's face, "I don't care who she likes. I only care whether that person can bring enough benefits to the Lan Clan Royal Family. People who can't bring benefits..."
His voice paused slightly, and the delicate teacup in his hand turned into powder silently and disappeared into the air without a trace.
Jiang Ping An's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
Facing a strong man of this level, he instinctively did not want to offend, but perhaps because of his experience as a father, he couldn't help but say a few more words:
Shi'er is your daughter. You don't care whether she is happy or not, you only care about whether she can get benefits. Is this what a father should do?
"Bang!"
An indescribable terrifying pressure suddenly came down. Jiang Ping An felt as if the entire sky was pressing down on him, and his legs could not bear it at all.
With a "click", one knee hit the ground hard, and the hard divine floor exploded instantly.
There was no emotion in Azure King's cold eyes, looking down at Jiang Ping An who was pressed hard and unable to move:
"Are you worthy of preaching to me?"
Jiang Ping An raised his head with difficulty. Due to the huge pressure, the veins on his forehead popped out, but he still looked directly into those deep and cold eyes:
"Junior... I don't dare to preach, but I think that since as a father... I have the ability to make my children happy, maybe I should let them take the path they prefer..."
"Stupid!"
Azure King's voice was filled with undisguised mockery, "Do you think that to maintain a huge royal family, just one person's contribution is enough? Everyone in the family must be able to obtain corresponding benefits, so that the entire group can continue to grow. If you want to obtain more resources and make the group pay for you, you must prove that you are worthy of exchange for benefits!"
In his mind, family affection has long been quantified into a cold exchange of interests, and offspring are just one of the tools to maintain his dominance and obtain more resources.
Jiang Ping An fell silent and stopped arguing.
The other party's thinking has long been solidified, or in other words, from the height and position of the other party, this set of logic is correct for their world.
Azure King stood up slowly and looked at him condescendingly. "I am willing to talk to you so much today because you Talent are acceptable."
He already knew that Jiang Ping An owned Yin Yang Dao Body.
"I can provide you with resources and even ask high-level God King to personally guide you in your practice for ten years, but the condition is..."
He raised his hand and threw out a golden scroll exuding strong fluctuations of Shinto law, floating in front of Jiang Ping An.
"After you enter Legacy Ground of the Fifth God Kingdom, you must do your best to fight for the core inheritance, and hand over everything you get inside to the Lan Clan Royal Family."
"If you agree, sign your real name on this Divine Dao Contract."
The scroll slowly unfolded, and the densely packed ancient divine texts on it flowed with the power of binding laws.
This is the highest level Divine Dao Contract. Once signed, you must abide by it, otherwise it will trigger the terrifying backlash of Shinto laws.
At worst, your cultivation will never improve; at worst, your body will die and your soul will disappear!
Azure King's eyes were cold and oppressive, waiting for Jiang Ping An's choice.
