The Ten Saints Grand Competition Arrives
"That's right, that person is called Wuming, a disciple of the Divine Sword Holy Land. It's said that he came from the Heaven Continent and defeated a group of experts from the Divine Sword Holy Land. Moreover, his target is Prodigy Xiao from the Dao-Seeking Academy."
The witch did not hide anything and told her everything she knew.
Selling information is one of their main sources of income, so it doesn't matter who they sell to.
"That's interesting."
Cao Youqian casually took out two spirit stones and tossed them to the witch.
Upon seeing this, the witch beside her quickly spoke up, "Young master, I also know Moke's identity."
"What, he's from the Heaven Continent too?"
Cao Youqian smiled and asked in return.
"Not only that, that Moke also comprehended the True Essence of the Buddhist Dao. It is said that even the Bodhisattva of the Great Thunderclap Temple lost to him in a debate on Buddhism."
The other witch said.
"This Ten Saints Grand Competition is getting more and more interesting."
Cao Youqian toyed with a spirit stone and tossed it to the other witch.
"Young master, are you also going to participate in the Ten Saints Grand Competition?"
After taking the spirit stone from Cao Youqian, the witch asked a question out of curiosity.
"Guess?"
Cao Youqian asked in return with a smile.
The two witches were both clever and did not press the matter further. The two continued drinking and making merry until the next day, when Cao Youqian finally left Fragrance-Seeking Pavilion with Shi Xuan.
"Brilliant! Second Senior Brother is truly brilliant."
After leaving the Fragrance-Seeking Pavilion, Shi Xuan gave his second senior brother a thumbs up, as if he had finally broadened his horizons today.
"Just some life hacks."
Cao Youqian said nonchalantly, "We cultivators rely on strength to speak for ourselves."
"Senior brother, according to what those two witches said, Great Sage seem to have requested reinforcements from the Heaven Continent this time. It seems they don't want you and senior brother to monopolize the top two spots."
Shi Xuan wasn't worried that his two senior brothers would lose. Ever since he comprehended the True Essence of the Great Dao, he felt the terror of his two senior brothers more and more. Even ordinary Great Sage from the Northern Wasteland like him were no match for these two.
Cao Youqian showed no fear upon hearing this, but instead said with a hint of excitement, "It's only interesting if there are strong individuals participating in the Ten Saints Grand Competition. If all that comes are some insignificant nobodys, I won't even bother to make a move."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Junior brother, why don't you go and find out what that news is about?"
Shi Xuan shook his head. "There's no need for that. If I can't beat Shi Hao even with my master's guidance, then it just means I'm too weak."
hiss...
Cao Youqian gasped, thought for a moment, and then said, "I didn't expect that you, who usually seem so honest, are even better at flattery than me."
"Hey-hey."
Shi Xuan chuckled, and the two brothers, arm in arm, returned to the inn, where they told Chu Feng the information they had gathered.
"It seems none of the Great Sage want to give up."
Chu Feng waved the feather fan in his hand and said, "But this is good too. Daqian and you, Little Chen, can now become famous Profound Heaven Continent."
Cao Youqian, "Master, before the competition begins, would you like to give us fellow disciples some pointers so that we can make further progress?"
"I didn't expect you to learn how to cram at the last minute."
Chu Feng paused for a moment and then said, "Alright, from today onwards, I will guide you and let you experience the oppressive aura of Saint."
Upon hearing this, the two said in unison, "We thank you, Master."
In the days that followed, everyone from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute stayed at the inn, receiving guidance from Chu Feng.
In the blink of an eye, only three days remain until the start of the Ten Saints Grand Competition.
Early that morning, the Great Sage Mountain-Mover arrived at Chu Feng's residence and respectfully said, "Chief Chu, it's time for us to depart for the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm."
"Um."
Chu Feng responded indifferently, then changed his clothes and came to the square of the post station.
At this moment, the geniuses of the Dao-Seeking Academy were already waiting here.
Upon seeing Chu Feng appear, they all exclaimed in unison, "We pay our respects to Chief Chu!"
No need for formalities.
Chu Feng paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and slowly began, "Gentlemen, the Ten Saints Grand Competition, which will determine the status of my Dao-Seeking Academy..."
Half an hour later, Chu Feng finally finished his long speech. Looking at his disciples, each one full of fighting spirit, he said, "Let's go!"
"Promise!"
With a loud shout, the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy set off in a grand procession.
The Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm is located on Nine Cauldrons Mountain Nine Cauldrons City.
When Chu Feng led the students of the Dao-Seeking Academy to Nine Cauldrons Mountain, the place was already packed with people, and cultivators from several holy lands were already there quietly waiting.
The appearance of the group from the Dao-Seeking Academy immediately drew gasps of surprise.
"Look! That's the Great Sage Qiankun, the invincible Great Sage of yesteryear!"
"The Great Sage Qiankun and Earth's magnificence is beyond our reach!"
"..."
After Chu Feng and his disciples landed at the location belonging to the Dao-Seeking Academy, he glanced at the several holy lands present. When he saw the Saint of each holy land, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Unfortunately, none of those Saint responded to him, pretending not to see him.
Chu Feng was never the type to fawn over someone who wouldn't listen. He firmly believed that as long as his fists were strong enough, he could earn respect. At worst, he could just exchange a few blows with these old guys after entering the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm.
As time passed, cultivators from the other holy sites arrived one after another.
Soon, cultivators from the Great Sage gathered at the summit of Nine Cauldrons Mountain. The sight of ten Saint appearing together moved countless cultivators present.
Just then, an old man stepped out from the crowd. Chu Feng recognized the old man; he was the Nine Cauldrons City Nine Cauldrons City cultivators to greet them.
"The Nine Cauldrons pay homage to all the Saint."
The Nine Cauldrons City bowed respectfully.
Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities.
The Saint responded politely.
After exchanging pleasantries, the Nine Cauldrons City took out a key and an altar from his storage ring.
After a series of elaborate sacrificial rites, the Nine Cauldrons City finally used the secret key to open the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm.
Dao Light appeared above Nine Cauldrons Mountain, and the Nine Cauldrons City addressed the crowd. "The secret realm of all Saint is now open. According to the rules, this grand competition will last for forty-nine days."
"Um."
The Saint of the Divine Sword Holy Land responded and then addressed the crowd, "Gentlemen, let's enter the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm one by one according to the usual rules. Last time, our Divine Sword Holy Land won the Ten Saints Grand Competition, so our Divine Sword Holy Land will enter first. Does anyone have any objections?"
"Elder Sword, stop showing off your superiority. Hurry up, we're in a hurry."
The Saint of the Blood God Sect said with dissatisfaction.
The Saint of the Divine Sword Holy Land smiled but said nothing more, leading his disciples inside.
Seeing that all the disciples of the Divine Sword Holy Land had entered the light, Chu Feng turned to them and said, "Let's go!"
