When Lin Xuan's voice rang in his mind, the old man, who had experienced countless storms and brushes with death, trembled slightly in his eyelashes.
Then, he let out a soft breath.
"Okay, I agree, let's bet!"
He agreed almost without hesitation.
Not for any other reason than that Lin Xuan has saved the Primordial Holy Heaven so many times.
Bai Wuya believed that Lin Xuan's attitude towards the Primordial Holy Heaven was the same as his own.
He even saved my old bones.
So, I'll just listen to him and gamble. What's wrong with that?
Upon hearing this, Chang Yao's smile widened countless times.
He laughed heartily, filled with indescribable joy and delight, and declared firmly, "Alright! It's a deal then!"
" Dean Bai of the Primordial Holy Heaven is indeed a straightforward man, hahaha, I admire him! In that case, let's meet on the arena!"
Goodbye!
He casually uttered a couple of useless compliments, then turned and left.
Since the goal has already been achieved, staying here any longer would only be an eyesore.
Chang Yao turned to leave, a mocking smile graced his face.
laugh...
He chuckled inwardly.
Bai Wuya, oh Bai Wuya.
As you grow old, you become even more reckless than when you were young.
Since that's the case, then don't blame me for taking the spot in the secret realm!
After this grand competition, your Primordial Holy Heaven will undoubtedly be finished!
The Ten Institutes Grand Competition officially began on that day.
In previous years, the competition process for each of the Ten Institutes Grand Competition was not fixed and remained unchanged.
Instead, it is constantly changing and difficult to predict.
The events for the competition were all decided by the Holy Heaven Council of Elders.
No one would know this before the start of the Ten Institutes Grand Competition.
This time, naturally, was no exception.
At this moment, in the Holy Heaven Square, a huge stone monument stands tall like a giant.
The confusing fog of the array that had shrouded this place for several days finally dissipated, and in its place, the first trial of the Ten Institutes Grand Competition could finally be seen.
Everyone gathered there, staring in astonishment at the enormous stone tablet.
The names on the stone tablet were densely packed, but now, probably because the trial had not yet begun, each name remained silent, neither lit up nor moved.
However, even this has already brought an indescribable shock to everyone!
"I... I didn't see wrong, did I?"
Some people couldn't help but murmur softly, their eyes unwilling to leave the stone tablet for even a moment.
He couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Is this the Spirit Jade Bright Marrow?"
"What!?"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
That simple sentence drew everyone's attention to the stone tablet.
The longer they looked, the more astonished they became.
Some people even lost control of their steps and staggered a few steps toward that direction.
"That's right, that's right... it really is Spirit Jade Bright Marrow!"
"What a waste! What a waste! That's a priceless treasure, meant for testing one's Dao heart and expelling inner demons! And yet, it's being used here as a stone tablet to record the Ten Institutes Grand Competition?"
"Our Lineage used to have a piece of land no bigger than the palm of your hand, which was kept as a shrine in the Lineage's secret vault!"
"That's way too extravagant!"
Shocking!
An unparalleled and breathtaking experience!
Even before the Ten Institutes Grand Competition began, the Holy Heaven Association's extravagant spending gave all the students present a "surprise."
This precious Bright Marrow Stone is engraved with countless dense arrays, which radiate throughout the entire area, allowing everything on the area to be immediately displayed on the stone tablet in the form of rankings.
Nothing has started yet, so the rankings remain unchanged.
But as one can imagine...
Once the Ten Institutes Grand Competition officially begins, these rankings will change rapidly, and they will know the changes immediately to predict the outcome of the competition.
And that's all it does.
This is certainly a waste of talent.
But this did indeed make the trainees present unconsciously correct their attitudes, and they all became somewhat nervous.
Following the names on the stone tablet are the scores from this year's Ten Institutes Grand Competition.
Of course, the points after each person's name are still a glaring zero.
With everyone standing in somewhat complicated state of mind, they heard the Holy Heaven Association Society announce the events of this grand competition.
The man who stepped out was a middle-aged man. He looked unremarkable, but everyone could sense the aura of Half-Saint within him.
He remained expressionless, glancing around at the Ten Great Saint Heavens Holy Heaven, but showed no particular favor to any of them.
Instead, he spoke loudly after confirming that everyone had arrived.
"Gentlemen, the Ten Institutes Grand Competition is now officially underway!"
"This competition consists of three rounds, and this is the first round!"
As he finished speaking, a loud rumble exploded behind him, startling many people.
But their surprise didn't even have time to settle before it quickly amplified.
Many people stared wide-eyed, stunned and speechless, staring blankly at the soaring gate to the secret realm behind him, their mouths agape, looking as if they had fallen into a daze.
However, this is not uncommon.
Some people struggled to their senses, their lips still twitching, and said in disbelief, "This, this, I must have seen wrong?"
"This is the gate to a secret realm!?"
"How could there be a secret realm gate here?!"
In the crowd, Shangguan Jue raised an eyebrow slightly, suppressing the surprise flickering in his eyes.
He seemed thoughtful, and also full of admiration.
"That's a really big deal!"
"For the Ten Institutes Grand Competition, they actually moved the gate to the secret realm using an array?"
Some people, like him, figured it out.
They were both filled with horror.
The annual Ten Institutes Grand Competition has almost never disappointed.
It is not only a grand competition among the ten academies, but also a juncture for the Holy Heaven Association to demonstrate its power.
The middle-aged Half-Saint on the field was completely unaffected by those around him. After a pause, he spoke again.
"The first round of this Ten Institutes Grand Competition will take place within the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm behind me, where we will slay demons!"
"If you accumulate 10,000 points within the allotted time, you can advance to the second round."
"The points you each slay will be displayed on this stone tablet; there is absolutely no possibility of cheating."
As for the number of participants...
He glanced around again and spoke slowly.
"The first round has no restrictions on cultivation level, number of participants, or anything else!"
"Anyone who is a student of my Holy Heaven Academy is welcome to participate!"
"And any treasures you find while slaying demons in the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm will all belong to you."
"Dear students, you have begun!"
