"System, what level was she at in her previous life?"
Ye Chang'an grew interested as well and immediately asked the system.
[Host, know what you have the strength to know. I suggest you gain some self-awareness.]
Seeing the system refuse, Ye Chang'an did not seem to care at all.
You won't tell me? Sorry, I can ask someone else.
"Ye Wu."
Ye Chang'an immediately summoned the fifth Elder of the Primordial Divine Hall.
In his view, Ye Wu should be able to see through Xiao Yueming's past and present lives.
The moment Ye Chang'an's thought stirred, a middle-aged man appeared before him.
This middle-aged man possessed an extraordinary bearing, and the aura around him seemed no different from that of an ordinary person.
Yet he made all living beings pale, filling everyone with pressure.
Naturally, Ye Chang'an was the exception.
"Hall Master."
Appearing before Ye Chang'an, Ye Wu respectfully bowed.
"Ye Wu, what do you think of that woman?"
Ye Chang'an gestured for him to rise, then pointed at Xiao Yueming below.
"Not bad talent. The reincarnation of an Ancient God."
Ye Wu took one look at Xiao Yueming and stated it outright.
Ye Chang'an nodded.
Yet inwardly, he still asked the system.
"System, is an Ancient God stronger than a Dao Master?"
[An Ancient God is stronger than a Dao Master by far more than a single star and a half. Please do not use the Dao Master Realm to brush against the edge of an Ancient God.]
This time, the system actually answered.
This left Ye Chang'an somewhat surprised.
"I didn't expect Xiao Yueming to have been such a figure in her previous life..."
At the same time, he was shocked by Ye Wu's strength.
To see through an Ancient God's past and present lives at a glance—wasn't that a little too powerful?
"No wonder the system said these five Elders could let me stride sideways through any world.
They really are formidable! The Primordial Divine Hall is far too powerful!"
[Of course.]
"Ye Wu, what about that guy? What do you think of him?"
Ye Chang'an then pointed at Xuanyuan Hao.
From the very beginning, Ye Chang'an had noticed the pair's behavior.
It was highly unusual. They must have known each other in their previous lives.
"His talent is not bad either. He was a little stronger than that woman in his previous life—a Half-step Ancestral God."
Ye Wu glanced at Xuanyuan Hao again and said.
"Alright, go back."
Ye Chang'an nodded. Having already received his answer, he naturally sent Ye Wu back.
He had actually wanted to ask Ye Wu about his realm, but then he remembered that the gap was too vast. Even if he learned it, he would not understand what it meant.
So he simply did not ask.
Of course, he was also too embarrassed to ask.
As the Hall Master, he had to put on an act.
On the competition stage below,
only two people remained.
They were Ye Xinran and Xiao Yueming.
The moment the two stepped onto the stage, Xiao Yueming directly conceded.
"Xinran, I probably am not your opponent, and your realm should be far above mine. There is no need for this match, is there? What do you think?"
Due to her identity, Xiao Yueming could see through everyone's physiques and talents. It could be said that this world held few secrets from her.
Yet when facing Ye Xinran, she could not see through her at all.
Especially Ye Xinran's talent—Xiao Yueming found it exceptionally unfamiliar, as if she had never seen such a talent before.
It was as though it should not exist in this world at all.
"Ah? We're not fighting?"
Ye Xinran froze.
She had wanted to spar with Xiao Yueming.
"If you want to spar, there will naturally be no shortage of opportunities in the future."
Xiao Yueming had already lost the will to fight.
Seeing this, Ye Xinran could only nod in agreement.
The other girl had already conceded. She could not exactly force her into a fight, could she?
In the end, Ye Xinran naturally took first place, while Xiao Yueming came second.
In the match between Xuanyuan Hao and Jin Xiaoya for third place, Xuanyuan Hao narrowly won by a single move and claimed third.
Since they needed to select the top five to head to the Central Domain for the Sacred Land Grand Competition,
two more people had to be chosen from Jin Xiaoya, Lin Tianci, and Dao Wuhen.
However, Dao Wuhen directly withdrew.
He would not fight. He simply could not win.
There was no need to mention Jin Xiaoya; the two had already fought once.
And there was no need for him to face Lin Tianci either.
Lin Tianci's earlier battle with Xuanyuan Hao had already made Dao Wuhen begin doubting himself.
Even without fighting, he knew he could not possibly win this battle.
The five had already been selected, and neither Lin Tianci nor Jin Xiaoya insisted on determining a winner between themselves.
After all, both of them had lost to Xuanyuan Hao by one move.
They both understood that if they truly fought, it would likely be difficult to determine a victor.
From their respective battles with Xuanyuan Hao, it was clear that their strengths were evenly matched.
So they did not continue to determine fourth and fifth place.
After all, the rewards for fourth and fifth were the same.
Besides, they did not care about such a small reward.
The grand competition ended, and everyone returned to seclusion to cultivate.
Meanwhile, Ye Xinran, Jin Xiaoya, Lin Tianci, Xuanyuan Hao, and Xiao Yueming were brought into a secret realm by the Holy Master, Xuanyuan Chen.
"Holy Master, we have such an excellent secret realm?"
Feeling the spiritual energy within the secret realm, Ye Xinran was rather surprised.
This spiritual energy was far too dense!
"This is the Sacred Spirit Secret Realm, which only opens before each Sacred Land Grand Competition. Its cultivation conditions can be called top-tier.
For the coming days, cultivate properly here and strive to shine brilliantly in the Sacred Land Grand Competition."
After saying that, Xuanyuan Chen left the secret realm.
Ye Xinran and the others also began their respective cultivation.
"This time, Xinran will probably make another major breakthrough. With this environment and the resources I gave her, her progress is getting a little too fast..."
In the void of the secret realm, Ye Chang'an watched Ye Xinran cultivate, utterly satisfied inwardly.
After all, if Ye Xinran improved, he could improve as well.
As for being afraid of advancing too quickly? He only needed to have a few fights with Little Dragon.
When it came to stabilizing one's realm, Little Dragon was still quite reliable.
Southern Domain, Teng Hai Secret Realm.
"Young Master Li, we have basically gathered all these materials, but we simply cannot find the Cold Source Stone."
Mo Chengfeng hurried to Li Wuxun's side and handed him a Storage Ring.
"I couldn't find it on my side either. The Cold Source Stone only exists in the Teng Hai Secret Realm. How could it be impossible to find here..."
Li Wuxun frowned.
As he spoke, he looked toward a massive Formation Array not far ahead.
"Could the Cold Source Stone be inside the place sealed by the Formation Array?"
Thinking of this possibility, Li Wuxun's face immediately darkened somewhat.
His Big Brother was trapped within this Formation Array. Now that he needed to break it, he was still missing one material.
And that material might all be inside the Formation Array. This gave him a terrible headache.
After entering the Teng Hai Secret Realm, he and the Mo father-daughter pair had searched for a long time before finding the Formation Array trapping his Big Brother.
Now that they had found the location, they could not open the Formation Array.
Hearing this, Mo Chengfeng's expression changed as well, his face filled with anxiety.
"Father, do not worry. There will definitely be a way."
Although Mo Lianbing was anxious inwardly too, she still comforted him.
"Bing'er..."
Looking at his daughter, Mo Chengfeng was momentarily at a loss for words.
Then, a gleam flashed through his eyes, and he said firmly:
"How about I leave a drop of blood essence outside and enter to search for the Cold Source Stone? After absorbing it, we can see whether the blood essence will carry the Cold Source Stone's energy as well."
Li Wuxun's expression shifted at those words.
"It might work, but I am not certain. You are gambling. If you go in and it cannot be opened from the outside, you will end up just like my Big Brother."
"Then I'll gamble on it."
Mo Chengfeng did not hesitate in the slightest, his gaze exceptionally resolute.
Mo Lianbing was too weak to maintain the connection to her blood essence, and there was still plenty of time. Mo Chengfeng would never allow his daughter to take such a risk.
As for Li Wuxun, he had to remain outside to break the Formation Array.
There was no other way now, so he had to go. It could only be him.
