Candidate for the Next Clan Head

Just as everyone was in shock, Xuanyuan Tian continued:

"Besides that."

"The winner will also have the opportunity to undergo a baptism in the Blood Pool of my Xuanyuan Clan's Ancestral Land!"

As soon as Xuanyuan Tian finished speaking, the entire Ancestral Sword Platform erupted in commotion.

The members of the other branches of the clan were all thrilled, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Ah?"

"There's... a reward like this?"

"To undergo a baptism in the Ancestral Land Blood Pool Baptism?"

"Oh my god!"

"What's going on? The clan leader is actually willing to open the Ancestral Land Blood Pool of my Xuanyuan Clan for this Annual Competition?"

"Is it only for the first place winner?"

"What else do you want? That's the Ancestral Land Blood Pool!"

"If I could enter the Ancestral Land Blood Pool Baptism, I would surely advance to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"

"..."

In an instant, many members of the Xuanyuan clan were filled with astonishment.

I originally thought that the person who won first place would have a chance to become a candidate for the next patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, and that the reward would be generous enough.

Little did they know, an even bigger surprise awaited: the victor would be able to enter the Ancestral Land Blood Pool Baptism.

"Oh?"

"Isn't it just entering the Ancestral Land's Blood Pool Baptism?"

Why do they all seem so excited and eager?

Chen Changqing muttered to himself, then turned his gaze to Xuanyuan Xiaoyu beside him and asked:

"Xiaoyu."

What's going on with this Ancestral Land Blood Pool?

"Is it that impressive?"

Hearing Chen Changqing's question, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu looked back at him before explaining:

"Changqing."

"The Blood Pool of our Ancestral Land is one of the most core Sacred Ground for the inheritance of our Xuanyuan Clan."

"Within the Xuanyuan Family, this can only be activated through extraordinary merit or special circumstances."

"This Blood Pool is not naturally formed, but rather a place left behind by our ancestors who, over countless years, possessed extraordinary cultivation and made immortal contributions to the Lineage, after their deaths."

"There lies the bloodline and heritage of many of our Xuanyuan Clan's ancestors."

At this point, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu paused slightly, her excited expression clearly showing her excitement about the Ancestral Land Blood Pool being opened to the winner of the competition.

After a brief pause, she let out a long sigh before continuing:

"This baptism in the Blood Pool not only cleanses the body and purifies the bloodline in the gentlest and most effective way, but also enhances Root Bone talent and makes up for congenital deficiencies."

"There is an even greater chance that it will trigger the legacy of an ancestor within the pool, allowing one to gain some insights into their Cultivation Method and Divine Abilities."

After Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's explanation, Chen Changqing nodded in understanding and muttered to himself:

"I see."

While saying this aloud, Chen Changqing was inwardly sighing:

"I never imagined that the Blood Pool in the Ancestral Land of the Xuanyuan Clan would be so extraordinary!"

"No wonder these members of the Xuanyuan Family are so excited."

Chen Changqing muttered to himself.

He knew very well that with the changes to the rewards for the Xuanyuan Clan Family Annual Competition, the competition here would inevitably become even more intense.

Leaving aside the candidates for the next patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, the opportunity to be baptized in the Ancestral Land Blood Pool alone is enough to make people from all branches of the Xuanyuan Family fight tooth and nail for it.

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Xuanyuan Tian, who was floating in the void, suddenly turned his gaze and looked directly at the Dragon Pillar where Chen Changqing and the other two were.

After a brief examination, Xuanyuan Yun frowned suddenly and asked in a deep voice:

"Xuanyuan Yun."

What's the situation with your Ninth Branch?

Why are only two people participating?

In Xuanyuan Yun's view, the Lineage's higher-ups had issued a notice earlier, stating that the Family Annual Competition this year would allow the prodigies of each branch to recruit outsiders to come and help.

However, right now, apart from Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, only Chen Changqing remains in the Ninth Branch of Xuanyuan Yun, which puzzles Xuanyuan Yun.

After all, Xuanyuan Yun's husband is the Human King of the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty.

Logically speaking, finding External Aids should be a piece of cake for Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, right?

Before Xuanyuan Yun could reply, a chorus of mocking voices erupted from the surrounding people from various factions:

"Ha ha!"

"In my opinion, they definitely can't find a suitable person to come to their aid!"

"Just the two of you, how pathetic!"

"Isn't Xiaoyu's father the Human King of the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty? Even several powerful people couldn't find him?"

"Ha! This Human King has no interest in the affairs of the Xuanyuan Clan. In his eyes, there's probably only the land of the Divine Dynasty!"

"..."

People from all the clans scoffed, knowing that Xuanyuan Xiaoyu was the daughter of the Human King, and that such words were purely meant to annoy them.

Upon hearing what everyone was saying, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu suddenly frowned, her expression turning slightly unpleasant.

Before she could even speak, the portly Xuanyuan Jin from the Fifth Branch said with a smile:

"Chieftain, you have a wise judgment!"

"The situation of Madam Yun's lineage is clear to everyone."

"Given such a severe shortage of manpower, and the inability to even find a few External Aids, it's truly... a sign of incompetence!"

"Or, we could just make them give up the positions of the Ninth Earth Branch."

"It would also give more opportunities for the outstanding members of other branches like myself to serve the Lineage."

As soon as Xuanyuan Jin uttered these words, the members of the other branches echoed his sentiments:

"That's right, that makes sense!"

"We can't just occupy a position without anyone being able to use it, can we?"

"In my opinion, it would be better to merge the Ninth Branch's participation qualification into the other branches!"

"Right!"

"This Ninth Branch lineage has so few members, it would be better to just abolish it!"

"..."

In an instant, a cacophony of mocking and sarcastic remarks filled the air.

"Snort!"

Just then, Xuanyuan Yun suddenly snorted coldly, took a step forward, and coldly scanned the people from each faction before saying in a deep voice:

"How?"

"Just because you see my daughter and I are alone and vulnerable, do you think the Ninth Branch can be bullied?"

"Although I, Xuanyuan Yun, am a woman, I still hold the authority and status of the Ninth Branch!"

"My husband is the current Human King! My daughter is the Third Princess of the Divine Dynasty!"

"This position of the Ninth Branch was passed down from our ancestors and won through countless heroic battles!"

"Anyone who wants to take advantage of my Ninth Earth Branch will have to ask me first if I'll allow it."

When he said this, Xuanyuan Yun spoke with a powerful and forceful tone, exuding an imposing aura.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Xuanyuan Yun's body.

His cultivation level was clearly that of a Tribulation Transcendence Great Power!

After Xuanyuan Yun said this, the people from the other branches were immediately speechless.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Tian frowned slightly, thinking to himself:

"If it weren't for my fear of that person, I would have stripped their lineage of its position long ago!"

Xuanyuan Tian had long harbored ambitions regarding Xuanyuan Yun's lineage.

Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Yun's husband was the Human King of the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty.

Although Xuanyuan Yun and the Human King are not together now, their status and position are still there.

"Call!"

After a brief pause, Xuanyuan Yun took a deep breath and decided not to cause any more trouble for Xuanyuan Yun and her mother.
