A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 74

Although Lin Tianyi felt a slight discomfort regarding Murong Huang’s demise, it lasted only a fleeting moment. After all, Murong Huang was a powerful figure from the same era as them, so his passing naturally brought some sadness, considering that the strengths of the four Holy Lords were quite similar.

“Alright, Lin Tianyi, is it? Can you now represent the entire Myriad Flower Holy Land? Or should we call upon the other Quasi-Emperor Peak experts?” Li Taibai was the first to speak up.

With an unperturbed expression, Lin Tianyi smiled and said, “I’ve said it before; as the Holy Lord of the Myriad Flower Holy Land, I can make decisions regarding all matters of the Holy Land.”

Although Lin Tianyi was merely in the Initial Stage of Quasi-Emperor, Li Taibai and the others couldn’t believe that the Myriad Flower Holy Land had fallen to the point of needing someone at the Initial Stage to take on the position of Holy Lord after Murong Huang’s demise.

Therefore, it was more likely that Murong Huang’s death had a significant connection to Lin Tianyi, or perhaps even that Lin Tianyi had orchestrated Murong Huang’s downfall. Regardless, they had to be cautious when dealing with Lin Tianyi in front of them.

“Alright, if that’s the case, let’s go inside and talk,” Lei Wanyun said slowly.

The three of them followed Lin Tianyi into the Myriad Flower Holy Land. The reason they dared to enter was that Li Taibai and the others each carried their own Holy Land’s Imperial Weapons. With three Imperial Weapons in hand, they believed that the Myriad Flower Holy Land wouldn’t dare to act against them.

After some discussion, the four Great Sacred Lands quickly decided on the rewards to be offered by their respective Holy Lands, as their main goal was to pique the interest of the talents from the entire Xuantian Realm to participate in the competition.

To enter the Four Saints Competition, there were only two requirements: either have a Quasi-Emperor level expert backing the force, or be a prodigy who has broken into the Saint Realm before turning a thousand years old. Meeting either of these conditions would suffice to qualify for the competition.

The top one hundred participants would then be allowed entry into the Chaos Secret Realm. At the mention of the Chaos Secret Realm, the expressions of the four present grew somewhat serious, as the Secret Realm had existed in the Xuantian Realm for the longest time.

It is said that this Secret Realm was created by the first Great Emperor of the Xuantian Realm, the Chaos Great Emperor, when he left the realm, with the purpose of selecting a successor. Yet, it is evident that since the opening of the Chaos Secret Realm, no one has been able to obtain the Chaos Great Emperor’s inheritance.

“I wonder if this time anyone in the Xuantian Realm will be able to obtain the Chaos Great Emperor’s inheritance,” Li Taibai sighed, his tone somewhat melancholic as he muttered to himself.

Those who could become Holy Lords are all extraordinary talents who broke into the Saint Realm before reaching a thousand years old. Therefore, Li Taibai and the others had previously entered the Chaos Secret Realm, but without exception, they all failed to acquire the Chaos Great Emperor’s legacy.

“Indeed, there have been more and more talents emerging in the Xuantian Realm over the years. I wonder if that’s a good thing or a bad thing? It feels like something unfortunate is about to happen,” Lei Wanyun also sighed, his brows furrowed.

In their era, there were very few who could break into the Saint Realm before a thousand years old, but in recent years, many individuals have managed to break through to the Great Saint or even the Saint King level before reaching that age.

So, Lei Wanyun sensed keenly that something might be about to occur.

Just then, Lin Tianyi smiled and said, “How could there be anything bad? The more talents we have, it may not necessarily be a bad thing for our Xuantian Realm. With more talents, perhaps someone could even break through to the Great Emperor level and prove to us that the path to becoming an emperor has not been severed.”

Upon hearing Lin Tianyi’s words, Li Taibai and the others were momentarily taken aback, then they smiled and bowed slightly.

“Indeed, Fellow Daoist Lin is right; it is us who haven’t seen clearly.”

“Alright, since it has been decided that the competition will proceed, our Myriad Flower Holy Land will release news starting tomorrow to inform the talents of the Xuantian Realm about the Four Saints Competition.”

Seeing Lin Tianyi speak, Li Taibai and the others also stood up, taking out their mobile phones to post the news of the Four Saints Competition on Weibo, instantly creating a tremendous uproar throughout the Xuantian Realm.

Although many had joined major powers, there were still a significant number of people who were completely unaware of the Four Saints Competition, just like a rural boy who had never heard of the youth palace (including the author).

Once the news from Li Taibai and others was sent out, the comments quickly surged to over 99, all filled with shock and excitement, as for many rogue cultivators, participating in the Four Saints Competition was obviously a great opportunity to make a name for themselves.

“What? What is the Four Saints Competition? How come I haven’t heard a thing about it?”

“Upstairs, you’re falling behind, aren’t you? The Four Saints Competition is a contest for talents in the Xuantian Realm, organized by the Four Great Sacred Lands. As long as you achieve a top hundred ranking in the competition, you can enter the legendary Chaos Secret Realm.”

“Wait, what is the Chaos Secret Realm?”

“Emm, forget it. You should head to Qiandu; you can find everything up there.”

Soon, the online cultivators gossiping about the news became excited, as this was a super event that could shake the entire Xuantian Realm.

“I’m a five-hundred-year-old Saint. Can I participate?”

“The person above you is lacking; I broke through to the Saint Realm at three hundred years. I should be able to achieve a good ranking in the Four Saints Competition.”

“You all really are far behind. I broke through to the peak of the Saint Realm at one hundred fifty years. Who else is there!”

Indeed, the announcement of the Four Saints Competition stirred many outstanding individuals in the Xuantian Realm, particularly those who had broken through to the Saint Realm before a thousand years old. This surprised Li Taibai and the others.

After all, under normal circumstances, breaking through to the Saint Realm before a thousand years made it very likely that one could reach the Supreme level, and with enough effort, even the Quasi-Emperor level could be achieved.

Based on the current situation tonight, at least tens of thousands claimed to have broken through to the Saint Realm before hitting a thousand years. While some may be exaggerations, many of them were likely telling the truth.

“I’m really looking forward to the Four Saints Competition in five years.”

A glimmer of anticipation appeared in Li Taibai’s eyes, but deep down, he felt a twinge of concern for the future.

On the other side, after discussing the relevant matters of the Four Saints Competition, Lin Shuirou returned to the Roushui Holy Land. Upon her return, she saw the Great Elder walking toward her.

The moment Lin Shuirou saw the Great Elder, an uneasy feeling arose within her. As expected, when they met, the Great Elder couldn’t help but speak up.

“Holy Lord, you’ve finally returned. You should go see the Holy Maiden; she says she wants to see you now.”

“Mm, I understand. I’ll go right away.”

Upon hearing it was about her daughter, Lin Shuirou felt a hint of helplessness, as if recollecting something troubling.

But after all, she could only sigh and head toward the forbidden area of the Roushui Holy Land.
