The Grand Competition Begins, Undercurrents Surge
Just as Chen Changqing and Luo Futian were exchanging glances, Liu Mu, standing beside them, quickly introduced:
"Holy Son."
"That person is Luo Futian, the Second Sequence Holy Son of Mount Shu!"
"He comes from the Luo Family, one of the Nine Great Families."
"In terms of strength, he is even above the First Sequence Holy Son Jian Zhenzi of Mount Shu."
"Currently, I have reached the Late Spirit Transformation."
Upon hearing Liu Mu's explanation, Chen Changqing nodded in understanding, but did not take Luo Futian seriously.
Not long ago, after extracting the results of his Idle Cultivation, his cultivation level had already reached the Late Spirit Transformation.
Of course, even if one only has the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Early Stage.
Chen Changqing was absolutely confident that he could crush Luo Futian.
After all, he cultivated an Invincible Method, and with various Immortal Artifacts by his side, he was invincible among those of the same level.
"Um?"
Seeing Chen Changqing's nonchalant attitude towards him, Luo Futian's eyes turned cold, and he muttered to himself:
"How dare he ignore me?"
"How arrogant and conceited!"
"Just because you've advanced to the Spirit Transformation Realm, you think you can look down on us Holy Sons?"
"Snort!"
"When the second phase of the Holy Sons' Battle arrives, Holy Son will make him know how powerful I am."
Luo Futian was filled with resentment and immediately turned his gaze away from Chen Changqing.
For him, among the other Holy Sons, only the First Sequence Holy Son, Jian Zhenzi, posed a real threat.
As for Chen Changqing, even though he has advanced to the Spirit Transformation stage, he is merely a supporting character.
On the other side, Ji Changkong Tenth Sequence Holy Son, frowned slightly upon seeing Chen Changqing, thinking to himself:
"This kid is growing up incredibly fast!"
"Doesn't he spend all his time walking the dog, sunbathing, and sleeping?"
How can one cultivate at such a rapid pace?
Ji Changkong muttered to himself.
Among the Mount Shu Holy Son, he harbored the greatest hostility towards Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing had only been a member of the Inner Sect for a short time when he distinguished himself in the Inner Sect's Battle of the Top Hundred.
That's why Ji Changkong noticed Chen Changqing.
He felt that Chen Changqing was a promising talent, so he thought of recruiting him into his ranks.
Unexpectedly, Chen Changqing didn't buy it at all and even challenged Bai Hao, who was ranked tenth on the Top 100 Ranking.
Ji Changkong was naturally furious about this.
In the ensuing battle, Chen Changqing easily defeated Bai Hao, causing Ji Changkong to lose face.
After Chen Changqing rose to fame in one battle, he caught the eye of the higher-ups at Mount Shu.
Ultimately, he was accepted as the Personal Disciple by the Sect Master Chen Yuan, and he also passed the Heavenly Pass set up by the Seven Main Peaks, becoming the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son of Mount Shu.
What Ji Changkong couldn't understand was...
Chen Changqing's cultivation level improved at an absurdly fast pace.
He clearly lived a leisurely life all day long without cultivating, yet his cultivation level was constantly advancing by leaps and bounds.
Now, he has even advanced to the Spirit Transformation Realm, making him even stronger than him.
This naturally made Ji Changkong feel unbalanced.
At the same time, the other Holy Sons present also looked at Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing didn't pay any attention to this and waited for the Holy Son Grand Competition to begin.
Not long after, a terrifying aura, vast and unfathomable, suddenly spread out from the void.
"Boom!"
Upon sensing it, all the Mount Shu disciples present were startled. Looking up, they saw a figure appear in mid-air.
The newcomer was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in Xuan Se robe, and with incredibly deep eyes.
The aura emanating from the old man clearly indicated that he was a Cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
"An elder at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"
"It's... it's Elder Xuanchen!"
"Will he be presiding over this Holy Son Grand Competition?"
"I've heard that Elder Xuanchen is extremely impartial and incorruptible."
"..."
Upon seeing the old man appear, the disciples began to discuss among themselves.
Chen Changqing noticed this, glanced at it slightly, and muttered to himself:
"The Tribulation Transcendence Realm?"
"I wonder if my current strength is enough to fight him?"
Earlier, after emerging from the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, Chen Changqing had killed the Old Ancestor Blood River of the Blood God Sect, a powerful cultivator who Tribulation Transcendence.
However, before that, the Old Ancestor Blood River had already been beaten to the point of near death by the White-Clad Spear King, Bai Wuya.
Chen Changqing volunteered to end the life of the Old Ancestor Blood River.
It's for obtaining AFK Points as rewards from the system for killing powerful Tribulation Transcendence.
It can't be considered a true battle against a being who has Tribulation Transcendence.
Currently, Chen Changqing's cultivation has reached the Late Spirit Transformation, and he has also conceived a second Avatar.
He also wanted to know if his main body, along with his two Avatars, all wielding Immortal Artifacts, could fight against Tribulation Transcendence expert.
Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Liu Mu whispered to him:
"Holy Son, this is Elder Xuanchen of the Mount Shu Inner Sect!"
"A powerful being at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"
"Hiring him to preside over this competition is also to uphold fairness."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing snapped out of his reverie, but instead of replying, he simply smiled faintly.
At the same time, Elder Xuanchen, who had just appeared, swept his gaze across the Holy Sons and their disciples below, and said calmly:
"All the Holy Sons have now arrived."
"Then I shall explain the rules of this Holy Son Grand Competition."
"This first stage involves the disciples under the Holy Son entering the Myriad Monster Secret Realm."
"Slay Demon Beast and Devil Creature within the Secret Realm to earn corresponding Points."
Ultimately, rankings will be based on the number of Points.
"The ranking of the Holy Sons is related to your status in Mount Shu and the resources you can mobilize in the future, and it is also related to your eligibility to be selected as the next Peak Scion."
"Of course, within the Secret Realm, you can also steal Points from others."
At this point, Elder Xuanchen paused slightly, then added:
"As for the second stage, it is the Holy Son Battle."
"It's very simple. The Holy Sons fight each other, and their ranking is based on their own strength."
"Gentlemen, are these rules clear?"
Having said that, Xuanchen swept his gaze across Chen Changqing and the other Mount Shu Holy Sons.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing and the other Holy Sons nodded in agreement.
They already knew these rules; what Xuanchen was saying was just a formality.
"Peak Scion?"
"In the subsequent Seven Peaks Grand Competition, Peak Scion will participate!"
That's my battlefield!
Chen Changqing thought to himself.
He didn't seem to care much about the upcoming Holy Son Grand Competition.
After all, among the many Holy Sons, the strongest, Luo Futian, was not taken seriously by Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing was quite looking forward to the upcoming Seven Peaks Grand Competition.
According to his master Chen Yuan, the Peak Scion from each peak will participate in the battle.
And among these Peak Scion, the weakest are all at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Chen Changqing originally thought that the Holy Son was already in a high position and held great power in Mount Shu, and could even be compared with the Peak Masters of the major Main Peaks.
However, we only found out later.
Above the Holy Son is the Peak Scion, whose status and position are even higher.
Those who can become Peak Scion of Mount Shu are all exceptionally talented individuals, qualified to aspire to become Heavenly Monarch in the future.
In Chen Changqing's view, with his current strength, he should be able to compete with these Peak Scion.
