Chi Guang did not expect that he just wanted to keep a low profile, but it made someone take it seriously.

"It seems that this time, I can't keep a low profile anymore..."

A sharp cold light appeared in Chi Guang's eyes, and thinking of the demon image of the Twin Buddha Child that his master mentioned, the flames of war in his eyes were intense.

On the other side, the battle for the quota was imminent, in the Flower Tour Society.

Night Ancestor and Green Ancestor and others sent messages to Li Hao that they were about to arrive in the Canglan Realm to watch the battle and cheer for Li Hao.

Qingjiu heard the news and pretended to be pitiful, saying: "Is no one coming to see me?"

"You have your master backing you up, why would you need us? Qingfeng is a lone wolf."

Night Ancestor said unhappily.

"Exactly, to see how you show off?" Green Ancestor was more direct.

Qingjiu was helpless and said: "You guys are so biased, it makes me very sad."

"Still in the mood to nag here, I think you are already unable to hold back your itchy hands." Green Ancestor said.

Qingjiu: Li Hao learned that Night Ancestor and the others were coming and sent a message to Zhan Tan, asking her to help receive them.

Zhan Tan told Li Hao to focus on preparing for the battle and not to be distracted by these things.

Previously discussing Painting Dao with Li Hao, she already felt that she had somewhat delayed Li Hao. With this battle imminent, she also received some news that many Heaven's Prides had broken through under pressure, and their strength had reached a higher level, which might threaten Li Hao.

As the battle date approached, Great Emperor Canghai also found Li Hao, Chi Guang, Su Yun, and others, asking them if they needed any help, such as weapons or divine pills.

Su Yun said she lacked Condensing Dao Pills, while Chi Guang indicated he did not need any, and Li Hao was the same.

"If you can win the quota for the Canglan Realm, you will receive the blessing of the Canglan Realm's incense. How much you can get depends on your performance in the battle." Great Emperor Canghai said.

He had great expectations for both Li Hao and Chi Guang. Previously, he had placed his heavy bets on Chi Guang, believing that he would definitely be able to get a top ten quota, but now Li Hao's performance surprised him even more. If both could represent the Canglan Realm in the battle, the Canghai Divine Dynasty would receive two portions of Dragon Qi!

This was the Heavenly Dao gift of the Canglan Realm. These two portions of Dragon Qi could stabilize the mountains and rivers of the Canghai Divine Dynasty, and there was hope for the birth of a monster with the appearance of a Sage among the Imperial Clan. If he absorbed it himself, he could also use it to cultivate the Imperial Dao Sage.

Sages each formed their own system, such as Master Jian Sheng, Literary Sage, Buddha Dao Sage, etc., and a Divine Dynasty Emperor who wanted to become a Sage could cultivate the Imperial Dao, and the Imperial Dao required accumulating Dragon Qi.

On the eve of the great battle, the three great sacred lands and dozens of dynasties were extremely lively, and those Heaven's Prides who failed to be selected were also looking forward to this top-tier Heaven's Pride battle in the Canglan Realm.

Several days passed in a flash, and the quota battle was set to take place within the Buddhist Sacred Land.

Since the appearance of the Supreme Heaven's Pride Battle, the location chosen for the Canglan Realm quota battle was rotated among the three great sacred lands.

This could showcase the scenery of the sacred land and attract the Heaven's Prides of all the Divine Dynasties. This session happened to be the turn of the Buddhist Sacred Land.

Li Hao, Chi Guang, and other top ten contestants of the Divine Dynasty followed the Imperial Clan of the Divine Dynasty to the Buddhist Sacred Land.

From far away outside the Buddhist Sacred Land, one could see that on a towering sacred peak, auspicious signs filled the sky, and Buddha light shone everywhere, as if the sun had descended on the top of the sacred peak, turning into a precious pearl flashing with ten thousand Buddha lights.

Once stepping into the Buddhist territory, one could faintly hear the sound of pious Buddhist chanting.

Compared to contestants like Li Hao, other people who came to watch the battle had used their connections to arrive here a day in advance, wanting to watch from the front row.

At the foot of the Buddhist Sacred Land, two giant beasts like golden lions were crawling, emitting the aura of the Half-Sage Realm. Although their appearance resembled golden lions, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were ancient Demon Kings who had hidden their true forms.

Half-Sage Buddha beasts were guarding the gate at the foot of the mountain, and there were monks entertaining along the stairs, fully displaying the precious aura of Buddha light.

"Is this the Buddhist Sacred Land?"

"Solemn and dignified, it made me subconsciously afraid to speak loudly."

"So many Buddha beasts, look quickly, using Buddha beasts as mounts, those are Half-Sage Realm Buddha beasts, right?"

The crowd discussed heatedly.

The top of the sacred peak was vast and wide, with forces from all sides gathered, numbering in the millions. Princes and princesses were everywhere here, and there were also inheritors of ancient martial arts families, direct descendants, etc., all of whom had great backgrounds, otherwise they would not be able to come to the scene to watch the battle at all, and could only look up from home through the Boundary Stone.

In addition to those with background and power, there were also many Heaven's Prides from all sides, gathered together with great momentum.

However, in front of the crowd, there were Buddhist Half-Sages revealing their precious appearances, with towering and huge volumes, over a hundred feet tall, which were extremely eye-catching among the millions of people gathered on the peak.

Their mounts were also huge in size, with terrifying momentum, and were actually also existences of the Half-Sage Realm.

Some were green lions, some were golden-haired hounds, and there were white pigs, Peacock Kings, etc., all emitting auspicious signs, but before these Buddha beasts were subdued, they must have been fierce demons of one side, making people hear their names and be terrified.

Above the Buddha Venerable's precious hall, the Sage of the Buddhist Sacred Land, the Thousand-Generation Buddha Venerable, sat majestically. His precious appearance was solemn, revealing itself like a Dharma image of heaven and earth, a thousand feet tall. People standing on the periphery of the sacred peak could also clearly see the golden light of the Buddha Dao emitted from his whole body, with auspicious signs dispersing.

The Thousand-Generation Buddha Venerable was also the Lord of the Buddhist Sacred Land, having survived the three disasters and calamities, with half a foot stepped into the Supreme Sage realm.

It is rumored that his incarnation had cultivated for a thousand generations, having already seen through the origin of the world, birth, old age, sickness, and death, fame and wealth, right and wrong, honor and disgrace, etc., and had reached a state of great transcendence.

In the Canglan Realm, the status of the Buddhist Sacred Land was the highest, and this Thousand-Generation Buddha Venerable was also publicly recognized as the strongest person in the Canglan Realm.

Now, all forces and countless Heaven's Prides caught a glimpse of this strongest person in the Canglan Realm, and reverence and compliance flowed from their eyes.

When the forces from all sides gathered, Li Hao and others also arrived. He and Chi Guang walked among the top ten of the Divine Dynasty, which was extremely eye-catching, as both were popular candidates who could win a quota in this battle.

With the arrival of Li Hao and others, not long after, an uproar broke out in the arena, as many Saint Children and Saint Daughters of the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land also came over.

Li Hao and Chi Guang and others looked back and saw a group of elegant figures walking from the stairs. There were both men and women, but all had a scholarly air, as if they were literati and ink-men wandering in the world, just coming here to chat and flirt.

This flirtation refers to the flirtation of Li Sao.

Li Hao saw familiar figures among them, Zhan Tan and that Zhao Qingshu.

It's just that Zhan Tan belonged to the foil, just coming to escort, walking in the position behind on the side.

And walking in the center were the ten young men and women including Zhao Qingshu, all with the aura of the Dao Law Realm.

At the very front was a young scholar, like a Licentiate in the mortal world, handsome and extraordinary, with a kind of indifference in his eyes that had seen through the secular world, as if he had read ten thousand volumes of books and would no longer feel surprised or novel about any changes.

"Is that Lin Shuhai of the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land? He looks plain and unremarkable."

"This is called restraint, what do you know? I heard from a friend in the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land that he easily defeated a group of Heaven's Prides of the Literary Ancestor with just three words. Can you imagine?"

"So exaggerated?"

Many people gathered their eyes on the young scholar, their eyes solemn.

Chi Guang's eyes narrowed. Except for the Twin Buddha Child, he also wanted to measure this Heaven's Pride of the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land.

Seeming to feel his fighting spirit gaze, Lin Shuhai looked over here and met Chi Guang's eyes, but his expression was indifferent, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded lightly.

Chi Guang grinned. These guys from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land were indeed very polite.

Zhan Tan, who was behind Lin Shuhai, also noticed Li Hao, and a sweet smile appeared on her indifferent and quiet face.

This appearance made the people around look sideways, somewhat lost. This Half-Sage's eyebrows were as beautiful as a fairy, with a kind of noble and inviolable feeling, but at this moment, a sweet smile seemed to overturn the red dust, making people's hearts chaotic.

"Night Ancestor and the others have already arrived. When you finish, I will introduce you."

Zhan Tan transmitted her voice to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded.

As the people from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land took their seats, not long after, another burst of noise rang out from outside the arena near the stairs.

I saw a group of high-spirited figures walking over, with different momentum, but all had a kind of sharp feeling. It was Saint Child Haoyue and others of the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land.

"The Sword Ancestor Sacred Land has also come, everyone is here!"

"What is that Saint Daughter's name? She looks so beautiful." "Speak carefully, that is the Elder of the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land, Yao Ancestor, but she was indeed a Saint Daughter a few hundred years ago."

Li Hao turned his head and saw Yao Ancestor and Lin Qingying and others, all familiar faces, and couldn't help but smile.

Lin Qingying and Yao Ancestor noticed Li Hao's gaze and looked at him. Yao Ancestor smiled and nodded lightly to Li Hao.

Previously, Li Hao revealed the style of Sword Dao, and in these days, he won first place in the Divine Dynasty loose cultivator battle. She knew that this battle would be the moment when Li Hao truly became famous.

Lin Qingying saw Li Hao and immediately thought of what she had realized during her seclusion this time, and there was a kind of peace in her heart.

Beside her, Bian Ruxue and Saint Child Haoyue and others also noticed Li Hao. After all, the seats where Li Hao and other Divine Dynasty loose cultivators were located were also equal to those of the sacred lands, all in the most conspicuous place.

Saint Child Haoyue thought of the news he inquired about when he came out of seclusion, and his face turned cold. Li Hao had completely not put him in his eyes, and even not put others in his eyes, thinking that by defeating him, he could win first place? Although angry, a sharper light appeared in his eyes instead. He had gained a lot from this seclusion, and he would wash away his shame for himself! Bian Ruxue and other Saint Children and Saint Daughters saw Li Hao but had no reaction. Previously, Li Hao revealed Sword Dao, and things had passed for too long. They also knew that Li Hao was a Sword Dao genius. If they met this time, they could only avoid his edge.

With the arrival of the people from the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land, the atmosphere at the scene also became hot.

"Look quickly, that is the Buddha Child of the Buddhist Sect!"

"Is that the Twin Buddha Child? I heard he has mastered the six great extreme realms, simply terrifying!"

"I heard that he has had inner demons in his body since he was a child. Cultivating until now is just to subdue the inner demons. Others are fighting with outsiders, he is fighting with himself!"

In the Buddha Hall in front, ten figures walked out. Among them, in addition to the Buddha Child, there were also female Bodhisattvas, all with clear and peaceful expressions on their faces, as if they were not affected by external clutter.

The leader was a young Buddha Child, wearing a black and white cassock, and one of his eyes was also a white pupil, looking quite strange.

As the other party walked out, the originally noisy sacred peak top suddenly became much quieter in an instant. Many people's eyes became extra solemn. This was the Twin Buddha Child of the Buddhist Sect. Among the three great sacred lands, his reputation was the loudest. In addition to the six extreme realms, there were also many magical powers, means, and legends that he was the reincarnation of a Buddhist Sage seeking further progress.

Seeing the other party, Chi Guang, who was standing beside Li Hao, had his eyes become solemn.

He could faintly see that there was a demon image behind the other party, which was extremely terrifying. Although it was extremely subtle, just standing there made him feel that his line of sight could not be locked.

Except for him, Lin Shuhai in the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land also looked at the other party indifferently, his eyes flickering slightly, but his expression did not change much.

"Is this the Twin Buddha Child? Terrifying, I heard he ate his own sibling in his mother's womb, innate Buddha-Demon dual body, very terrifying."

Li Qingyi's eyes were wary, staring at the Twin Buddha Child. Seeing that the other party's pair of white pupils reflected her, she suddenly felt a sense of shock and dared not look any more.

"I heard from my master that some strong people started laying out plans from the mother's womb, not purely innate, but Sage means!"

Zhao Qingshu said with solemn eyes.

"We are definitely not rivals, I just don't know if Senior Brother Shuhai can win."

They looked at Lin Shuhai in front of them. Although the other party was elegant and indifferent, like a Licentiate in the mortal world, they knew how terrifying this Senior Brother was when fighting.

In this clash, if he could win first place, he would definitely get rich incense. After all, dozens of dynasties in the Canglan Realm would watch this battle, which would definitely attract countless people to revere and get their incense.

"This feeling is a bit familiar..."

Li Hao looked at the Twin Buddha Child, his eyes moving slightly, thinking of the Buddha Lord he had killed before. The other party also used this Buddha-Demon dual cultivation. For Buddha cultivators, it is difficult to see through the world's karmic obstacles, but it is even more difficult to break the demons in the heart. This is a difficult hurdle for all Buddha cultivators.

Being born as a human, there will be inner demons. Buddha cultivators mainly cultivate transcendence, so they must subdue or suppress inner demons.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze and turned to look at those Buddhist Half-Sages and that Thousand-Generation Buddha Venerable.

He could faintly feel that what the other party was revealing at this moment was not his true self, but an incarnation reflection.

But even so, it was like a brilliant sun covering everything, making people feel like they wanted to worship.

Is this the strongest Three-Disaster Sage under the Supreme Sage? Li Hao had also learned about this during this period. The three realms of Sages correspond to the three disasters. Every time one survives a disaster, their strength will increase a lot, but at the same time, every disaster is a calamity! Since ancient times, more Sages have fallen under the three disasters than those who exist now.

And once one survives the three disasters, one can leave a name for eternity. As long as one does not seek death, one can live until the end of one's life, which is an extremely long time.

At this moment, as everyone arrived, not long after, two huge movements like virtual holes suddenly appeared in the sky, and two figures slowly revealed themselves from within. Their figures were towering, both as huge as the Dharma image of heaven and earth, which were Master Jian Sheng and Literary Sage respectively.

Li Hao had seen Master Jian Sheng and also saw at a glance that the other party was here as a reflected incarnation, just like the Virtual Sage incarnation that chased him back then.

And Literary Sage was the same. This was the first time he saw Literary Sage. The other party looked like a great Confucian, but his whole body was auspicious, and the virtual shadow of a green sea and bamboo forest appeared in the void where he was, as if there was a leisurely breeze blowing, looking extremely pure.

And beside Master Jian Sheng, the light was distorted into sword shadows, forming a sword domain vision.

The three great Sages gathered together to watch this Heaven's Pride battle in the Canglan Realm. Such a scene also made the eyes of many Heaven's Prides at the scene red with heat.

Unfortunately, they no longer had the opportunity to take the stage, otherwise they could show themselves in front of the Sages. If they could get their favor, they would soar into the sky! With the arrival of the three Sages' reflections, the Thousand-Generation Buddha Venerable sitting above the Buddha Hall sat on a brilliant golden lotus platform. His expression was gentle, and he looked at Literary Sage and Master Jian Sheng. Master Jian Sheng and Literary Sage both nodded slightly to him.

There was no excessive small talk between them, as they were already old acquaintances. Thousand-Generation Buddha Lord slowly stated the rules of this clash.

Now there are forty people including the three great sacred lands and Divine Dynasty loose cultivators. The first round does not use head-to-head battles, but rather taking spirit pearls.

Thousand-Generation Buddha Venerable raised his hand and pointed, and a wisp of Buddha light fell like golden flames, burning a void passage in the void in the center of the square.

On the other side of the passage was a forbidden area where demons were entrenched.

"These are spirit pearls, scattered in the Floating Life Demon Domain. According to the speed of bringing back the spirit pearls, the top twenty will advance, and those who fall behind will be eliminated."

Thousand-Generation Buddha Venerable said slowly.

These rules had already been investigated by forces in advance and had long been spread to the ears of contestants like Li Hao.

Li Hao was secretly told by Zhan Tan and was not surprised. The disciples of other sacred lands also had normal expressions and had long known the rules.

Only a few Divine Dynasty loose cultivators like Su Yun were stunned when they heard this, which also showed that the forces behind them were not strong and had not investigated the news in advance.

"To prevent someone from harvesting the spirit pearls at once, only one will be released each time, witnessed by Literary Sage and Master Jian Sheng together, and will be randomly given to the demons in the Floating Life Demon Domain."

"Whoever can solve the demons at the fastest speed and take back the spirit pearls can advance."

While Thousand-Generation Buddha Venerable was speaking, the silver-white spirit pearl in his hand turned into a stream of light and flew into the void crack in the arena.

Li Hao knew that this was equivalent to a demon-slaying competition.

When the spirit pearl fell, the first to go out was the Buddhist disciple, and it was that Twin Buddha Child.

This was randomly selected by the law. Seeing that this highly anticipated Twin Buddha Child was the first to take action, everyone was surprised and unexpected, but more of it was anticipation. I don't know what kind of performance the other party will have? Twin Buddha Child's expression was calm, with no expression. Under the attention of the whole audience, he stepped directly into the void crack.

The arena was extremely quiet, and the scene inside the Floating Life Demon Domain could not be seen.

The Boundary Stone reflection only reflected the subsequent confrontation.

Now it can only be considered as a preliminary selection and elimination.

After one breath, light appeared in the void crack, and the figure of the Twin Buddha Child stepped out, holding the silver-white spirit pearl.

At this time, someone next to him was responsible for recording and checking the time, and immediately said loudly: "Twin Buddha Child, one minute and 34 seconds!"

Hearing this, everyone was surprised, not expecting the other party to come out so quickly.

But they had no concept of this kind of result, but they also realized that the other party was very fast. The demon guarding the spirit pearl was at least in the Dao Law Realm. Finding it in such a short time and killing it to take back the spirit pearl, this time was definitely fast.

Not long after, the second selected Heaven's Pride took action. The other party was actually Zhao Qingshu, whom Li Hao had seen.

Zhao Qingshu's expression was solemn. Taking action after the Twin Buddha Child would inevitably form a contrast. He felt somewhat unlucky in his heart.

However, as a Heaven's Pride, he was not too afraid and soon stepped out.

When the spirit pearl was released, Zhao Qingshu stepped into the Floating Life Demon Domain.

Time passed, a cup of tea time passed... After a long time, Li Hao estimated that it was about a quarter of an hour. Finally, a figure stumbled out from the crack, and it was Zhao Qingshu.
