CHAPTER 255: 253. BIG TROUBLE HAPPENED! (3/4)

When the system’s words fell, a pop-up window appeared.

[Start Setting Up!]

The system’s voice came again, "The entrance to the grand competition checkpoint is set at Churao Mountain and will open in 72 hours."

Regarding this, Wen Ping was quite delighted in his heart.

Two side missions, rewards: one chance of enlightenment, a random building upgrade, and 72 hours of cultivation in the Ten Layers Tower.

If he completes all of these, his power will surely skyrocket. Additionally, he could upgrade his buildings and save a lot of money.

Wen Ping asked, "System, what is the checkpoint for the grand competition?"

The system responded, "The checkpoint is divided into three stages: the Fury Stage, the Flame Character Pass, and the Sword Character Pass. These three stages correspond to the current Immortal Sect’s Flood Dragon’s Fury, Flame Skill, and Sword Control Skill. All three stages take place simultaneously, and participants in the grand competition can freely choose one stage to enter. As long as they succeed, they can enter the final stage and compete with others. Host, that’s the process. As for the final competition, naturally, the one with the highest cultivation realm in the three skills will win."

"Can I participate?"

"No."

"Alright then."

"Host, please note that there must be more than eight participants. If there are not eight participants, half of the final reward will be forfeited."

"Is there a consolation prize for the losers?"

"Yes, the reward is three days of free cultivation in a random cultivation area."

"This consolation prize is nice and economical."

...

The next day.

When the day dawned, everyone got up to prepare for cultivation.

After all, the plan of the day lies in the morning!

Zhao Yi got up even earlier because he had to tidy up the Sect. But as he crossed the wooden bridge, just a glance, he saw the words on the bulletin board.

Zhao Yi was immediately, "Sect’s grand competition!"

Seeing this, he didn’t care about sweeping anymore and turned around, rushing back to the dormitory area, shouting loudly by the fountain to those still washing up inside: "Everyone, something big has happened!"

Bang!

Doors opened one after another.

Yun Liao, being an Elder, was the first to come over. At this time, he was only half-dressed, so he was putting on his clothes while running.

"What happened?"

Yun Liao’s first thought was, could it be that the Divine Profound has attacked the mountain gate?

If not, what else could be a big deal?

Otherwise, no one would call it a big deal, currently in the Immortal Sect, a Half-Step Divine Profound coming is like asking for death.

Zhao Yi slightly bowed to Yun Liao and then excitedly said, "There’s something new on the bulletin board!"

Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s words, Yang Lele and others came over.

"Something new?"

Yang Lele was the first to ask.

Zhao Yi quickly explained, "No, it’s the Sect’s grand competition."

"Sect’s grand competition?"

Yun Liao and Yu Mo looked at each other, unable to react.

Such a big matter as a Sect’s grand competition, they didn’t see the Sect Leader consulting them. Right now, they are the Elders of the Immortal Sect. They definitely have to be involved in such matters as a Sect’s grand competition.

Zhao Yi continued, "The day after tomorrow, the Sect’s grand competition is the day after tomorrow."

"So soon?"

This made Yu Mo and the other Elders even more surprised.

Immediately, they all went to the bulletin board outside the wooden bridge and looked at the grand competition news on the bulletin board, with inexplicable expressions on their faces.

Zhao Yi then said, "Elder Yun, look down... the Sect’s grand competition is just a pure comparison. The standard of participation is mastering the Flood Dragon’s Fury, Sword Control Skill, or Flame Skill and other techniques. Those who haven’t comprehended the three cannot participate in the Sect’s grand competition. The most special part is, that Elders are also participants."

Zhao Yi pointed to the last note on the bulletin board.

Elders can also participate!

"This competition is so strange!"

"Yes, the Elders are all in the Profound Realm, Elder Zhantian is even in the Upper Profound Realm, how do we fight?"

"Definitely going to lose."

After a round of discussion, everyone hurried to the kitchen to find Wen Ping.

Because everyone knows that at this time, Wen Ping must be in the kitchen making Spiritual Cuisine for Biyue Piaoling.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, Yu Mo was the first to ask, "Sect Leader, the Sect’s grand competition is going to be held the day after tomorrow?"

Wen Ping nodded, "You all saw it?"

He then glanced at everyone.

When Yang Lele and others also nodded, Wen Ping smiled and said, "This time, the Sect’s grand competition is unlike other Sects. The participation standard is somewhat special, Elders can also participate. At the same time, all your realm power will be restricted to the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer. If it’s lower, it will be raised, if it’s higher, it will be suppressed, and it will suppress everything about you. If you want to participate, it’s best not to do anything these days, just focus on these three techniques. Master them, and you can join the competition."

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Restrict cultivation!"

"Then Elders participating is not a big problem."

Yang Lele and others nodded.

Yu Mo asked, "Sect Leader, what are the rewards?"

"The rewards—any one Magical Artifact from the Fire Dragon Skill and the Immortal Slaying World."

"The skills of the fifth level, and a Magical Artifact, Sect Leader, this doesn’t seem like you!"

Yu Mo secretly marveled.

Not only him, but almost everyone was also surprised.

...

"Sect Leader, I want to sign up!"

"I’ll sign up too!"

After a burst of shouting, Wen Ping said, "If you want to participate in the grand competition, just come directly the day after tomorrow."

...

While everyone was enthusiastically shouting to participate, Luo Mi and Hua Xiaozhu were not that excited.

Because the rewards were things neither of them had ever heard of.

Zhao Yi stood next to Luo Mi, seemingly seeing the doubt in their hearts, and explained: "The Fire Dragon Skill is a more advanced technique than the Fire Snake Skill. You know Wei Qianjue, right? The strongest Middle Profound Realm in East Lake, he was killed instantly by the Fire Dragon Skill. At that moment, the Sect Leader released it, and he didn’t even have the ability to resist."

Luo Mi responded, secretly shocked, "So that’s how Wei Qianjue died?"

Then Zhao Yi continued, "The Magical Artifact, you’ve probably seen it, is the sword on Huan Shan’s back. Let me tell you, that thing is amazing. You might see it as just a sword, but once Junior Brother Huan Shan successfully cultivates the Sword Control Skill, it’s as easy as killing a chick at the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer."

"So powerful!" Luo Mi exclaimed, immediately picturing the scene in his mind.

This is more glorious than the Fire Snake Skill subduing the Ten Talents Trial!

Without a second thought, he immediately chose to participate.

Thus, with the emergence of the grand competition, everyone began to dive into cultivation.

Just as Wen Ping expected, everyone gave up on other cultivation areas and only hung around the dormitory area, the Fierce Beast Trial Ground, and the Ten Layers Tower.

Because the allure of the two rewards was too great.

After everyone went for cultivation, Zhao Yi did not leave because he had to clean the ground.

But Wen Ping told him to put down the broom, "Put aside the cleaning for a few days. Focus on cultivating in the dormitory area. In the grand competition, power is not the problem, the competition will raise your power to the Thirteenth Layer. The problem is whether you have learned these three skills."

With that, Wen Ping put dumplings in the pot.

Ready to go to the Fierce Beast Trial Ground again.

He casually picked up the sword by the chopping board and stepped out.

Zhao Yi nodded.

Just as he was about to say he had already achieved Minor Success in the Flood Dragon’s Fury and was eligible to participate, his gaze fell on the sword in Wen Ping’s hand!
