Chapter 838: Psychic Jade Pendant (First update, requesting everything)

Even if it came to next year, Xiang Yutian might not necessarily be able to achieve his goal; if his luck were too poor, he might have to drag it out for a few more years.

However, time was extremely important to Xiang Yutian; the faster he became an Emperor Rank, the greater his momentum would be, the gap between him and his elder brother would significantly shrink, and his success rate in competing for the throne would be higher.

Under these circumstances, Xiang Yutian could not help but glance at Li Zhangsheng; he had no intention of robbing Li Zhangsheng, at least not in the short term.

Any contestant who obtains a Gold Treasure Chest or a Purple Gold Treasure Chest will, to a greater or lesser extent, receive the attention of the Heavenly Dao.

Although they would not become a Child of Luck, and might not even reach the level of a reserve for a Child of Luck, it is absolutely considered precious.

Before the Heavenly Dao withdraws its attention, once someone targets these contestants, their luck often becomes very poor; if they kill the other party, it is even more serious, as a Thunder Tribulation will descend directly.

If one survives the Thunder Tribulation, then everything is fine; if one cannot survive it, then naturally, they are reduced to ashes.

As the Second Prince of the Kailing Empire, Xiang Yutian truly knew quite a few secrets, among which were records of this aspect.

Over a hundred years ago, when the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm had only been open for a few years, a Double-Character King once coveted the gains of a certain contestant and began to target them.

During this process, this Double-Character King experienced a series of unlucky events; although most were resolved by his powerful strength, he would occasionally fall victim to them, as if bad luck were hanging over his head.

At that time, this Double-Character King was filled with resentment, so after catching up to this contestant, he killed them to vent his anger, and incidentally seized the treasures the other party had obtained in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

As a result, what awaited this Double-Character King was the thunderous wrath of the Heavenly Dao; at that moment, a Wild Thunder Descent occurred, as if it were the end of the world.

Even though the Double-Character King and his Demon Pet resisted with all their might, they did not last for even a minute before they were all reduced to dust.

At that time, the Spirit Emperor Xiang Donglai heard the commotion and rushed over; he could be considered a witness to this scene.

According to the speculation of his ancestor, the Spirit Emperor Xiang Donglai, even an Emperor might not be able to escape unscathed, so naturally, Xiang Yutian dared not target Li Zhangsheng even more, at least he would not have such thoughts in the short term.

However, the Spirit Emperor Xiang Donglai had carefully observed many contestants, many of whom were descendants of the Kailing Empire, and eventually determined the approximate duration of the Heavenly Dao's attention.

The records are as follows: contestants who obtain a Gold Treasure Chest can maintain it for one month, while those who obtain a Purple Gold Treasure Chest have it increased to three months.

In other words, during these three months, anyone who targets Li Zhangsheng is destined to have terrible luck.

This does not mean Li Zhangsheng can sit back and relax; after all, not everyone knows these secrets like Xiang Yutian, and at the same time, Li Zhangsheng does not have an immortality or resurrection buff—the Heavenly Dao would at most avenge him by reducing the enemy to dust.

Xiang Yutian decided to spend the short term fully collecting a batch of treasures that Li Zhangsheng needed, and then exchange them with Li Zhangsheng, each taking what they need.

As for whether he would target Li Zhangsheng after three months, that is hard to say.

Without waiting long, a feeling like the world spinning around struck, and the contestants turned into streaks of white light and disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the previously lively Ends of the Earth fell silent once again.

Once the scene before their eyes stabilized, Li Zhangsheng and the others reappeared within the Bernama Fortress.

Not far away stood Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun, Flower King Han Huiying, and Diao King Wang Xuan.

The three chief examiners had originally been resting with their eyes closed, but the moment Li Zhangsheng and the other ten appeared, they immediately opened their eyes and focused their gazes on them.

Before the three chief examiners could speak, they sensed something and all looked up at the sky.

The sky suddenly underwent a strange change; a mass of Merit Profound Yellow Qi descended, splitting into one large and two small parts during its descent, landing on the three chief examiners with lightning speed.

This time, the Merit Profound Yellow Qi did not include a share for Li Zhangsheng, but it was closely related to him.

As regional chief examiners of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, there are naturally some benefits; otherwise, why would they take the risk of containing the Demon Lord?

It is just that this is closely related to the final results of the contestants under their banner; the better the comprehensive results of the contestants, the more benefits the chief examiners receive, and vice versa.

After absorbing it, the three chief examiners all revealed expressions of great joy.

This time, the Merit Profound Yellow Qi they obtained could be said to be ten times more than the last time; how could they not be ecstatic?

Only, in Li Zhangsheng's view, the total amount of this Merit Profound Yellow Qi was barely twenty percent of what he had obtained.

After restraining the joy in their hearts, the three chief examiners looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

However, there was one thing they were very clear about: someone among the ten contestants in the Southern Region must have achieved extraordinary results; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to have obtained so much Merit Profound Yellow Qi.

Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun's mind worked the fastest, and he immediately asked: "Let's register your results below; it can also spread your influence."

Li Zhangsheng and the others had no doubts, as it was like this every year.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng and the others finished registering.

Upon seeing the final results of the contestants, the three chief examiners looked at each other again, subconsciously focusing their gazes on Li Zhangsheng.

Being watched by the three chief examiners with gazes that felt almost tangible, Li Zhangsheng felt as if needles were pricking his back, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief only after they withdrew their gazes.

"I didn't expect you to have achieved such good results!"

Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun sighed, unable to help but let his gaze fall on Li Zhangsheng again; he felt he had discovered a treasure boy and decided that he must strive to be the chief examiner for the Southern Region for the next ten years.

There was no help for it; Li Zhangsheng was simply too young and could continue to participate for eleven more sessions. Not only Li Zhangsheng, but Ning Bizhen could also participate for a few more sessions. With the dominance they displayed, the results of the Southern Region in the coming years would be guaranteed.

Such a Southern Region was simply a hot commodity for the three chief examiners; if they could obtain so much Merit Profound Yellow Qi every year, it would naturally be a huge gain for them.

"You performed very well this time, especially Li Zhangsheng. This is my contact information; if you encounter any difficulties, you can find me at any time."

Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun praised Li Zhangsheng emphatically and handed a pendant made entirely of Psychic Jade to Li Zhangsheng.

This is a Spirit Jade Pendant; even if separated by a million miles, information can be transmitted through it, though it is a one-time treasure.

Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun did not have any crooked ideas, because he also knew that secret from over a hundred years ago, so naturally, he would not risk his life; besides, he preferred long-term benefits.

With Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun's background, he had great confidence that he could continue to preside over the Southern Region. As long as he had Li Zhangsheng, the benefits could be said to be continuous; furthermore, befriending Li Zhangsheng, who had not yet fully grown, might perhaps be beneficial to him in the future.
