Boom!
Above Qingdi City, a powerful figure made a move, re-enacting three spacious Sword Fighting Platform.
Beside him, Jiang Ping, pale-faced, was still using Samsara to Rebirth his injuries.
The side effects of using the Years Sword are too great.
He seemed capable of killing Pei Kong just now, but in reality, he had also reached his limit. As soon as Pei Kong was rescued by the True Saint, he could no longer hold on, and the cracks all over his body reappeared. Although he repaired them with the power of Rebirth, it would be difficult for him to fully recover in a short time.
He was panting heavily, sweat beading on his forehead, and nearly exhausted. It took him a while to recover.
"Jiang Pingping wins..."
At this moment, the millions of spectators were ready again, Martial Artist in Chief Clerk was about to declare Jiang Ping the victor in the first battle when suddenly, a slightly plump old man in a Daoist robe appeared in mid-air.
"Elder Lu!"
Many members of the Qingling Sect were quite surprised to see the Daoist elder suddenly appear.
Even the True Saint personally participated in this battle.
The old man in the Daoist robe looked at Jiang Ping and spoke expressionlessly:
"Would you be willing to join my Qingling Palace and become Guest Elder?"
Jiang Ping's heart skipped a beat. He had just finished his first battle, and he was already going to join the Qingling Palace?
In fact, not only was he surprised, but all the other Dao Seed found it unbelievable. This was absolutely unprecedented; no one had ever joined the sect directly after their first battle.
However, considering that this person's record set a precedent for elder selection, and that he was able to beat up a True Disciple of Qingling, it is reasonable for him to be directly selected as an elder.
All I can say is that there's no one who can fight them.
"This junior is willing!"
Jiang Ping immediately and respectfully clasped his hands in response.
His purpose in coming here was to Dao system and obtain resources. He would be able to join after the first battle, so he wouldn't hesitate or be coy.
Call out!
Afterwards, the old man led Jiang Ping away from the place, while the battle of the Dao Seed on the Sword Fighting Platform continued.
"Brother Ye!"
"Brother Ji, you are so beautiful."
"Hello, both of you."
With Jiang Ping gone, his friends Ye Qingyun and Ji Wushuang suddenly became highly sought after, and many people came to befriend them.
Of course, these people came because of Jiang Pingping's strength, either wanting to follow her or trying to win her over.
For example, a man in black, looking superior, coldly spoke:
"Have Jiang Pingping come to Evergreen Restaurant tonight."
Ye Qingyun was annoyed and wanted to slap him. He had just witnessed his brother's strength, yet he still dared to act so arrogantly.
However, upon learning that the True Disciple the other party followed ranked third among the twelve, he could only politely decline.
There's no way around it; even though Old Jiang is strong, he probably can't beat the third-ranked player.
Next, Ye Qingyun and Ji Wushuang once again experienced the long-lost feeling of being surrounded by admirers, still being revolved around by Dao Seed, all for Jiang Pingping.
Ji Wushuang remained indifferent, having heard mostly praise for his appearance. He grew impatient, wondering why the first battle was still delayed.
Although Ye Qingyun was in a bind, he still politely declined all offers from Old Jiang, especially those who wanted to follow him; he didn't give them a friendly look.
The excitement didn't end until the two players took to the stage one after the other.
On the other side, Jiang Ping, in his capacity as Elder Qingling, ascended the giant mountain in the center of Qingdi City.
On the way, the old man in the Daoist robe who was leading him up the mountain spoke up:
"Boy, how many years have you been practicing the Sword of Ten Thousand Laws?"
Jiang Ping knew the old man was asking about the Years Sword, so he obediently replied:
"Reporting to you, senior, it has been several decades."
The old man in the Daoist robe nodded and said, "To be able to comprehend Divine Intent in just a few decades, his talent is indeed remarkable."
He paused, then said:
Have you considered abandoning this method?
Jiang Ping was stunned. Give up?
He asked in confusion, "Why give up?"
Lu Cun replied seriously, "This technique is very difficult to practice. If you continue practicing it, it will easily affect your own Dao Path."
Then, he gave Jiang Ping many examples of people who had failed in their pursuit of Ten Thousand Laws, saying:
"Your foundation is in Samsara, making your future already difficult. To cultivate Ten Thousand Laws would only make things more difficult, purely wasting your own future."
Jiang Ping thought for a moment, then said seriously, "But it's really strong."
Lu Cun: "..."
He glared and said, "It's a bit strong, but no one who practices this thing ever ends up well."
Then, the True Saint Lu Cun earnestly asked Jiang Ping:
"Are you really going to keep practicing and not want to give up?"
Although Jiang Ping had a vague idea of what Lu Cun meant, he didn't want to go against his conscience.
This technique is his current trump card, the source of his confidence to launch a counterattack, and he certainly cannot give it up.
Seeing Jiang Ping's firm attitude, Lu Cun stopped mentioning the matter, shook his head, and sighed:
"You young people of your generation are all too arrogant!"
Having said that, without giving Jiang Ping time to react, the man disappeared and left, and a female disciple replaced him.
Before long, with the help of the female disciple, Jiang Ping completed the Entry Level procedures, received his Identity Token, and was assigned a Jade Palace, also in Nine Clouds City.
After officially becoming an elder, Jiang Ping couldn't wait to ask, "Is it said that you can exchange resources upon Entry Level?"
He had previously learned that once selected as an elder, one could not only cultivate the Body Scripture, but also obtain other valuable resources.
The female disciple nodded and said, "Elder, please refine your Identity Token first."
Jiang Ping immediately did as instructed, and in a short while, he gained another layer of connection with the Identity Token, and the jade token also gained some more information:
[Name: Jiang Pingping
Identity: Guest Elder of the Qingling Palace
Contribution Points: 1,000
At this moment, the female disciple respectfully spoke:
"These 1,000 contribution points are the preferential treatment for newly Entry Level elders. Starting from the day Entry Level, they will receive 100 contribution points every year thereafter. These contribution points can be exchanged for various resources in the Spirit Treasure Hall of our mountain, or at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion in Nine Clouds City."
Jiang Ping nodded, then asked the female disciple for more information before heading straight to the Spirit Treasure Hall.
"Roar!"
Just as they arrived at the Spirit Treasure Hall, a thunderous roar shattered the tranquility of the place, and the Celestial Phenomenon underwent dramatic changes.
Jiang Ping was so frightened he almost collapsed to the ground.
Before him stood a colossal dragon covered in blue scales, its massive size and powerful aura emanating from it, its breath like thunder.
Jiang Ping felt a heavy weight in his heart, and his whole body involuntarily tensed up.
The giant dragon was perched atop the palace in front of him. At first glance, Jiang Ping thought it was a dragon sculpture, until he took a closer look and was startled awake.
Now he realized that this was a living, True Saint-level Azure Dragon!!
"As expected of Supreme Dao System, even the resource treasury is guarded by True Saint-level beings."
Jiang Ping was secretly alarmed. At the same time, he felt that this dragon looked quite familiar, somewhat like the one he had glimpsed when he was refining Dragon Blood.
Of course, that's not what he cares about. Anyone who dares to scare him will have to taste the saltiness of dragon meat in the future.
The Azure Dragon returned to silence, coiled atop the palace, its brilliance fading.
Jiang Ping walked straight into the Spirit Treasure Hall.
