The Holy Lord of Jade Pool Holy Land glanced indifferently at the gloomy old man and said with a smile, "What do you think, Brother Yue?"
Yue Qian glanced at Lin Haotian, his expression calm, and said, "There are countless talented people in the world. It is quite remarkable that he was able to accidentally discover the method to find Mount Sumeru. However, this alone is not enough to prove that he can do that thing."
Upon hearing that, Lin Haotian's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously turned his gaze toward the Third Holy Maiden.
The Third Holy Maiden remained calm, as if they hadn't heard these words, and quietly looked at the Jade Pool Holy Lord.
The Jade Pool Holy Lord laughed heartily and said, "That matter concerns the lives of all people, so it's naturally not something that can be easily accomplished. However, Yang Zhen does have his own unique strengths. Since Brother Yue and Nephew Lin both feel that Yang Zhen is not up to the task, then let's continue to observe."
At this moment, Lin Haotian suddenly smiled and said, "Holy Lord, I, Lin, am unworthy, but I request to enter Eaglefall Cliff now and test the mysteries of Mount Sumeru."
"What?" Elder Jian was stunned, looking at Lin Haotian with a strange expression and asking, "You want to go in now?"
The Jade Pool Holy Lord was also taken aback, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Now is not the best time to enter Mount Sumeru. Nephew Lin, are you sure you want to go in?"
Lin Haotian smiled confidently and said, "To be honest, I'm quite interested in that Yang Zhen and would like to test his skills."
The Jade Pool Holy Lord frowned, about to speak, when the Mountain Saintess suddenly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Holy Lord, since Senior Brother Lin wishes to go in and compete with Yang Zhen, why doesn't the Holy Lord grant him this opportunity?"
Upon hearing the words of the Third Holy Maiden, Yue Qian gave them a meaningful look, Third Holy Maiden hint of doubt flashing across his face before he regained his composure.
Lin Haotian suddenly burst into laughter, looking at the Third Holy Maiden and saying, "It seems the Mountain Saintess has a lot of confidence in this Yang Zhen. What, does the Third Holy Maiden think that I, Lin, am no match for Yang Zhen?"
The Mountain Saintess calmly stated, " Mount Sumeru values fortuitous opportunity; it's not about who has the highest cultivation level that allows them to enter the core."
Lin Haotian smiled knowingly and shook his head, saying, " Third Holy Maiden, you are mistaken. Do you think someone with a very low cultivation level would have a chance to enter Mount Sumeru?"
"You..." The Third Holy Maiden's expression changed, and she stared at Lin Haotian, asking, "Do you still intend to kill someone in front of the Holy Lord and Senior Yue?"
Lin Haotian smiled nonchalantly and said, "Battles between cultivators are decided in an instant; there's no such thing as stopping halfway. Since we're going to compete, it's natural that we have to fight to the death."
Upon hearing this, Elder Jian and the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace changed their expressions and stared intently at Lin Haotian. Even the Third Holy Maiden ' expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.
Among the younger generation in the Western Region, Lin Haotian is unparalleled. If he were to encounter Yang Zhen in Mount Sumeru, it would undoubtedly be a life-or-death battle. This would determine whether Lin Haotian could enter the core depths of Mount Sumeru and comprehend the Heavenly Star Stele, so he would certainly not hold back against Yang Zhen.
The Third Holy Maiden suddenly regretted it. Although Yang Zhen had many tricks up his sleeve, he was completely powerless against Lin Haotian. Not to mention that Yang Zhen was just a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, even if they were both at the Heavenly Cycle Realm, he would not be a match for Lin Haotian. The inheritance behind Lin Haotian was simply too powerful. Even the Jade Holy Palace had to give Yue Qian some face. One can imagine how terrifying the power behind Yue Qian was.
Jade Pool Holy Land is the foremost sect in the Western Region, but the power behind Yue Qian is indeed hidden in the shadows, and is equally capable of influencing the entire Western Region.
At this moment, the Holy Lord of Jade Pool Holy Land laughed and said, "That's good. Young people should compete fiercely; only in this way can they better comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
Upon hearing this, Lin Haotian immediately revealed a confident smile, bowed to the Jade Pool Holy Lord, and said, "Then I thank the Holy Master for his kindness."
The Third Holy Maiden ' expressions turned completely ugly. To comprehend the Heavenly Star Stele, it had to be activated by her bloodline. In that case, her life and even her body would be completely exposed to Lin Haotian.
Given Lin Haotian's personality, he would never give up such an opportunity; in fact, he had been coveting it for a long time and had been waiting for this chance for a long time.
Unfortunately, this was a matter the Third Holy Maiden had to do. The Jade Pool Holy Land Jade Pool Holy Land had its own difficulties, and the Third Holy Maiden Third Holy Maiden maidens had their own hardships. This matter had reached the point where it was like an arrow on a bowstring, and they had no choice but to act. If they could not obtain the power from Mount Sumeru, the Jade Pool Holy Land would fall back into its seal, and the Cultivation Method that the Third Holy Maiden practiced would be erased because it was Heaven and Earth Rejection and earth, resulting in their annihilation.
Only Yue Qian and Lin Haotian knew about this matter; even many disciples and successors of the Jade Pool Holy Land were not fully aware of it.
If the Third Holy Maiden were to study the Heavenly Star Stele with Yang Zhen, she would be absolutely confident that she could control Yang Zhen. This would be a win-win situation for everyone. Yang Zhen would be able to obtain extremely rare fortuitous opportunity and fortune from the Heavenly Star Stele, while the Third Holy Maiden would be able to completely transform the Cultivation Method within her body, forming a Heavenly Star Cycle, and would no longer be suppressed by heaven and earth.
Once the Heavenly Star Stele is activated, the entire Jade Pool Holy Land will solidify its position as the number one sect in the Western Region, surpassing even the power behind Yue Qian.
Lin Haotian is certainly not the only suitable candidate, but neither the Third Holy Maiden nor the Jade Pool Holy Land have much time to find another suitable candidate. They can only try to select someone who can replace Lin Haotian through this method of choosing a Heaven-Favored Person.
The Third Holy Maiden took a deep breath, stared at Lin Haotian, and revealed a determined look in their eyes.
The Third Holy Maiden were well aware of Lin Haotian's wolfish ambitions. If Yang Zhen died at Lin Haotian's hands, the Third Holy Maiden would rather risk their lives than let that bastard Lin Haotian succeed.
Seeing the confident look in Lin Haotian's eyes, the Third Holy Maiden took a deep breath, turned her head slightly away, and stopped paying attention to the matter.
At this moment, the Jade Pool Holy Lord suddenly spoke up, "Someone, bring the Sumeru Seal here."
Upon hearing this, the Third Holy Maiden trembled.
Clearly, Lin Haotian, who possesses the Sumeru Seal, will almost certainly encounter Yang Zhen near Mount Sumeru. In this way, the selection of the Heaven-Favored Person will be almost completely ruined.
Unless Yang Zhen can defeat Lin Haotian, but how is that possible?
Given Lin Haotian's Cultivation Method arts skills and multiple cultivation methods, Yang Zhen has almost no chance of winning.
Before long, a disciple of the Jade Pool Holy Land presented Lin Haotian with a serene and beautiful talisman. A playful smile appeared on Lin Haotian's lips. After putting away the Sumeru Seal, he laughed heartily and said loudly, "Without further ado, I, Lin, shall depart now."
At this point, Lin Haotian glanced at the Third Holy Maiden with interest and said, " Third Holy Maiden, I will be waiting for you in Mount Sumeru!"
The Third Holy Maiden glanced at Lin Haotian, nodded, and said, "You go inside the core first, then we'll talk!"
Lin Haotian laughed heartily. After leaving the Holy Temple under the guidance of the successor of Jade Pool Holy Land, the Third Holy Maiden and the others did not leave, but instead focused their attention on the Heaven-Observing Mirror.
At this moment, Yang Zhen and Wan Jian were still working together to condense the geographical features while searching for the location of Mount Sumeru, and they did not encounter anyone else for the time being.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Jade Pool Holy Lord caused a ripple, like water, to spread across the Heaven-Observing Mirror, landing on Lin Haotian at the entrance of Eaglefall Cliff.
