Boom!
The next moment, a surging wave of energy erupted within Su Yun as he continuously absorbed it.
As time passed, the aura emanating from Su Yun grew stronger and stronger.
Several hours later, he had completely refined all eight multicolored lotus seeds.
His cultivation had also successfully broken through to the ninth level of the Mystic Profound Realm!
After contemplating for a moment, Su Yun thought to himself:
"Only seven days remain until the Grand Ceremony begins."
"I'll have to spend these seven days killing. I'll slay a large number of demonic beasts and cultivate the Slaughter Blade Art to perfection as quickly as possible."
"Only then will I have a better chance of claiming first place in the Grand Ceremony."
As the day drew closer,
the Mystic Blade Sect grew livelier and livelier.
This Disciple Ceremony was not merely a gathering of every sect within the Great Cloud Dynasty.
It had also drawn the attention of powerful figures from all seventy-two commanderies of the Great Cloud Dynasty.
Many powerful lineages, princes, and major forces from across the dynasty had already arrived at the Mystic Blade Sect.
Their purpose was simple.
They had come to watch the Disciple Ceremony.
And, while they were at it, they hoped to see whether they could befriend any of the monstrous talents taking part.
If they could befriend the top contender in this year's ceremony, they would have hit the jackpot!
But unlike in previous years, several truly important figures had come to this Disciple Ceremony.
"Have you heard? Several members of the imperial family have come for this year's Disciple Ceremony!"
"Yeah, I heard that too."
"Not only have the Seventh Princess and Senior Sister Chen come, even the Crown Prince is here!"
"What? The Great Yun Crown Prince came too?"
