Ling Xiao's use of an avatar to join the Divine Hall was not arbitrary, but purposeful.
As long as he can gain a pivotal position in the Divine Hall, even if his identity is exposed one day, he might still be able to put up a fight and contend with the True Demon Palace.
It's like being an undercover agent; once you become the boss, you're in complete control.
"We congratulate the Immortal God General!"
"Congratulations, Immortal God General!"
Immediately, all the gods present offered their blessings, and even Houtu and Shen Wuxu bowed their heads to congratulate Ling Xiao on becoming the first divine general.
The Avici Divine Hall Return resounded with cheers and shouts, as if celebrating the birth of the King of Gods.
"Ye Chen, congratulations! You have truly broadened my horizons. Since the founding of the Divine Hall, no one has ever become the First Divine General in such a short time."
The old temple master put aside his prejudices, his seemingly aged face filled with smiles, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death.
In fact, at his level, he is not bound by the passage of time at all; his appearance is entirely due to his own preferences.
He may appear old, but he is full of vitality and possesses peak strength.
"You flatter me, I was just lucky."
Ling Xiao replied casually, indicating that he didn't really care about it.
The gods' lips twitched. This was something that could be achieved simply through luck?
So they're all just unlucky guys?
"By the way, the competition for the King of Gods will be coming up soon, and you will be representing the Avici Divine Hall in that competition."
The old temple master suddenly seemed to remember something and said something that caused all the divine generals to show strange expressions.
"King of Gods?" Ling Xiao was stunned, somewhat puzzled. Since arriving at the Divine Hall, he had been mostly cultivating and had no idea what this was.
"You've only been here a short time, so it's normal that you don't know. The so-called King of Gods is a competition between the twelve divine Divine Hall of the Mysterious Heaven Realm. Each Divine Hall sends its first divine general to participate, and the final winner is the King of Gods."
This move will not only greatly stimulate the cultivation of the Divine Hall disciples, but also promote exchanges between the Divine Hall...
The old temple master couldn't help but speak of things like humanistic care.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao roughly understood; he was all too familiar with this.
What are the benefits of winning?
He couldn't help but ask, "This is the key thing. Otherwise, it's just fighting and killing, you punch me and I kick you. Only someone who's got nothing better to do would get involved like that. He really doesn't care about honor or anything like that."
"The benefits will be enormous." The old temple master laughed heartily, seeing through Ling Xiao's thoughts. He also knew that a gimmick couldn't compare to a real reward.
Big?
This undoubtedly stirred up Ling Xiao's memories.
"While getting first place is unlikely, it's your right to know that first place comes with a reward."
"Whoever gets first place can enter the Mysterious Yellow Hall's Cultivation Hall to freely comprehend Daoist techniques. In addition, they can also enter the Magic Treasure Hall and freely choose three divine objects."
The old temple master explained, and upon hearing this, all the gods showed expressions of longing and anticipation.
Ling Xiao looked puzzled, sensing that the reward wasn't as good as he had imagined.
He had already visited the cultivation halls of all three Divine Hall. Although the Mysterious Yellow Hall was ranked first, it was still just Divine Hall in the end.
"Ye Chen, don't underestimate the Mysterious Yellow Hall. It's not just the number one ranked Divine Hall."
The old temple master, noticing Ling Xiao's disdain, felt it necessary to offer a reminder.
This young man has sufficient cultivation, but he still lacks experience in interpersonal relationships.
"What other secrets do I not know?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"When talking about the Mysterious Yellow Hall, one must mention its founder, the Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Maiden."
Do you know the origin of this Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Maiden?
The old temple master wore a mysterious smile, as if a fire of gossip was burning within him.
"I don't know." Ling Xiao shook his head. He had never even heard the name before, so how would he know who the other person was?
He's not conducting a census.
"Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Maiden, or Xuan Nü for short, savor this name."
The old temple master continued, making increasingly suggestive remarks.
"Xuan Nü... Xuan Nü... Mysterious... Could she be..."
Ling Xiao muttered to himself carefully, then suddenly his expression turned strange. He could only think of one person in the Mysterious Heaven Realm with the surname "Xuan".
From this, it can be inferred that he probably knew the identity of the Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Maiden.
"You guessed right, the Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Maiden is our Realm Lord's daughter, and his only child," the old Palace Master exclaimed.
Why are you shouting so loudly?
Did I say anything?
Ling Xiao was speechless, his eyes showing surprise.
The only daughter of the Master of the Mystic Heaven Realm, which shows the terrifying status of this Xuan Nü.
This is different from the Prison Beast King. Both are offspring of Realm Lords, but one is an only child, while the other was sown everywhere.
In comparison, their status was worlds apart.
"Now you know the importance of the Mysterious Yellow Hall, right? This isn't just a simple Divine Hall; it's the World Lord's precious daughter's secret stash of wealth."
The old temple master winked and smiled, his words quite audacious.
Ling Xiao nodded in agreement. He understood after that explanation. In short, the Mysterious Yellow Hall had many treasures that other Divine Hall could not compare to.
"Alright! For the honor of our Divine Hall, I must participate in this competition."
Ling Xiao spoke loudly and righteously, completely different from his initial nonchalant demeanor.
"Very good!" the old hall master shouted with a strong voice, then added, "However, don't be too happy yet. Since the beginning of this competition, the first place has always been the number one general of the Mysterious Yellow Hall, without exception."
"And what about us?" Ling Xiao paused for a moment before asking.
"Us? We've always been at the bottom." A burly general interjected; he was none other than the first general, the Greedy Wolf, who had been defeated by Ling Xiao.
"Under Shen Wuxu's leadership, our ranking has remained very stable."
"Um?"
At this point, Shen Wuxu and glared at him hatefully.
"Well... but you can't blame Shen Wuxu for this. It's all because the opponent is too strong. The disciples of each Divine Hall are not to be trifled with."
Feeling the murderous gaze directed at him from the side, the Greedy Wolf God General quickly changed the subject and added.
It would have been better if they hadn't replenished their strength; once they did, Shen Wuxu hold on any longer. What do you mean by blaming the opponent for being too strong?
Why don't you just call me useless?
"With Ye Chen here this time, perhaps our ranking can be improved even further."
"Last time we ranked eighth, fourth from the bottom. This time we must surpass seventh, after all, we are the Seventh Divine Palace."
"Very promising!"
"Let the immortal generals give them a little shock!"
The gods began to discuss among themselves, and inadvertently, they brought up past humiliations.
Hearing what they said, Ling Xiao's expression changed.
Even Shen Wuxu only ranked eighth.
This achievement was attained by someone who has mastered eight transcendent powers.
It seems the competition for the title of King of Gods is fierce!
