Chapter 153: The Cultivation World Is Also Very Competitive

~7 min read 1,270 words

Looking at Miao Wenlun's proud expression, the corner of Yu Zhangsheng's mouth twitched imperceptibly; he patted Miao Wenlun's shoulder, revealing a curious and envious look, and exclaimed, "Nine-Colored Chicken King? What new variety? And it contains Nine Heavens Phoenix Bloodline — what top-grade Spirit Beast is this? My goodness, Senior Brother Miao, you're too lucky!"

This expression made Miao Wenlun feel very pleased, his mood even more relaxed; he waved his hand: "It's nothing, just good luck. In the future, pay more attention to this auction; there will always be opportunities."

"Okay, okay, I'm getting more and more curious about this Qiyao Pavilion." Yu Zhangsheng agreed readily, hehe laughing.

"Alright, alright, the Spirit Beasts in there aren't cheap, and their effects aren't necessarily real; don't mislead Junior Martial Brother Yu."

Sun Shihan couldn't bear to watch any longer, and suddenly blurted out such a sentence.

"If you have that money, properly nurturing your own Spirit Pet would be better; these side paths, just take them as reference."

Although Sun Shihan's words were somewhat cold, their content was still full of human feeling.

Yu Zhangsheng's expression froze for a moment, somewhat surprised that Sun Shihan was so clear-headed; it seemed the other party buying the Nine-Colored Silver Fox was indeed just for its looks.

"Rational as one may be, when the atmosphere arrives, doesn't one still have to act on impulse?"

Yu Zhangsheng thought secretly in his heart, cupped his fists toward Sun Shihan respectfully and said: "Many thanks for Senior Sister Sun's reminder, but later if there's a chance, I still want to go take a look with Senior Brother Miao."

"Up to you."

Sun Shihan looked deeply at Yu Zhangsheng once; for some reason, ever since the Nine-Colored Silver Fox appeared, she felt Yu Zhangsheng was a bit strange, but this strangeness came from nowhere inexplicably.

Yu Zhangsheng, seeing the topic of the Nine-Colored Silver Fox completely covered over, quietly let out a breath of relief in his heart.

"Good thing Sun Shihan didn't Contract with the Nine-Colored Silver Fox; otherwise, that instant of heart-mind connection would likely have exposed my identity, and that would be troublesome."

At this moment, more people arrived at the Guang Chang one after another; Miao Wenlun didn't dally, and while it hadn't started yet, he introduced the specific situation of this Inner Disciple Trial to Yu Zhangsheng in a low voice: "Every year's Inner Disciple Trial has differences, but the First Gate is always the same, unchanged for so many years — that is the Heavenly Ladder."

"Wanxiang Sect Main Peak, there is a Heavenly Ladder as long as Nine Thousand Layers... this Heavenly Ladder is different from ordinary ladders; every Layer contains enormous pressure, the higher one goes, the more the pressure multiplies."

"This First Gate is a basic checkpoint that comprehensively measures a disciple's strength; although it's a very cliché routine, it is indeed very useful, and also the gate with the highest elimination rate — one must reach Half Mountain at Wu Qian Ceng to count as passing."

"Every year just this one gate eliminates at least eighty percent of opponents; among them fifty percent is because their own strength doesn't reach the height of Wu Qian Ceng, another thirty percent is because various reasons caused accidents."

"Because, in this First Layer Trial, fighting is not prohibited; as long as it's not too excessive it's fine. And in that kind of environment, once one engages in battle with others, the pressure increases even more, making every step difficult; even if one wins the battle, it's hard to sustain continuing to Wu Qian Ceng."

"And besides those who already have enmity, there are inevitably some whose strength is insufficient; they themselves can't reach Wu Qian Ceng, and can't stand seeing others reach Wu Qian Ceng, so they drag you down too."

Miao Wenlun told Yu Zhangsheng a lot in one breath; Yu Zhangsheng also gradually gained a clear understanding of this Inner Disciple Trial.

"Heavenly Ladder? Another cultivation world classic routine." Yu Zhangsheng thought secretly in his heart, also somewhat surprised, so he asked aloud: "That latter situation — those with enmity is understandable — but those without enmity who deliberately drag people down, does the Sect know and not punish?"

Miao Wenlun shook his head: "Punish what? You think why only ten people pass the Inner Disciple Trial every year? What the Sect needs is excellence." Finished speaking, Miao Wenlun exhaled a breath, looked deeply at Yu Zhangsheng, expression serious: "In short, up there, besides climbing up as fast as possible, you also need to guard against the disciples around you. In these times cultivating immortality, one inevitably encounters some people with extreme thoughts."

Yu Zhangsheng was silent for a while, nodded: "Understood."

A small sect like Wanxiang Sect doesn't have many Resources; it can only supply the most Excellent batch of people — the principle is the same everywhere.

The Cultivation World is also very competitive.

Miao Wenlun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, continued:

"So the few of us are from the same Peak; if we meet up there, don't fight internally, try to help each other."

"Good."

Just because you guys contributed so many Spirit Stones to me, not helping would feel like I can't get past it in my heart...

The thoughts in Yu Zhangsheng's heart the two couldn't know; otherwise, they'd probably be the first to drag Yu Zhangsheng down in the trial.

"Now I'll tell you, in this trial, the few people from other Peaks we need to pay special attention to — this is information I specially spent money beforehand to have someone inquire about; you must listen well. If you encounter them, pay more attention; there's no need to conflict with them in the First Round Trial."

Seeing Miao Wenlun's expression become serious, Sun Shihan also came closer to listen carefully, nodding to indicate she knew.

"Five Inheritance Peaks — actually our Beast Taming Peak's overall strength is the worst. The Beast Tamer's Characteristic determines that in the early stage we are not strong, and outstanding talents appearing in Beast Taming are far fewer in probability than talents appearing in other Daos."

"First, the person we most need to watch out for is..." Miao Wenlun took a deep breath, complexion heavy, slowly spat out a person's name, making Yu Zhangsheng's complexion a bit strange.

"Huang Suyu! Yujian Peak's absolute genius; it can already be confirmed his Cultivation Base has reached Foundation Establishment; entering the Inner Sect is basically a sure thing. And his participating in this Inner Disciple Trial can only be said to show this person is arrogant and ambitious."

"Estimating he wants to use this to win the Inner Sect Elder's favor, thereby soaring to the sky; his Sword Technique is played to perfection, hard to find a match; Sword Intent Minor Completion — if we encounter him, just go around; absolutely cannot conflict with him, otherwise it'll probably be very difficult..."

As Miao Wenlun slowly spoke Huang Suyu's information, a trace of heaviness also flashed across Sun Shihan's face; clearly she was very wary of this Huang Suyu.

Yujian Peak's Cultivators are originally attack-first; killing power is famously astonishing. And Huang Suyu, as a genius among them, whether Sword Intent or Foundation Establishment Cultivation, any single one taken out is enough to make others retreat three shelters.

No wonder Sun Shihan and the others would be so nervous.

Only Yu Zhangsheng, hearing Miao Wenlun's words, frowned slightly, thoughtful.

"This Huang Suyu participating in the Inner Sect — perhaps he also has the idea of conveniently cleaning me up?"
