Chapter 538

"Oh?" He He Pingsheng immediately became interested. He looked at the Golden Core stage Ancestor Xihu and asked: "What is this seven-family competition of Mount Doumi Mountain?"

"Please enlighten me, Senior!"

"Good!" True Person Xihu said: "Then this palace will tell you the pros and cons!"

The three sat down at the stone table and stone stools in the courtyard.

True Person Xihu explained the seven-family competition.

He He Pingsheng immediately understood.

So, it was much the same as the nine-country competition in the Cultivation World.

They were all competitions organized to fight for something.

The difference was that in the nine-country competition, each country had to send ten people, while in the seven-family competition, each family only needed to send two people, and only one person actually participated in the competition.

The other one was a substitute for critical moments.

"These seven families of ours actually all belong to the 【Heavenly Human Immortal Sect】 on the Heavenly Fire Continent."

"Of course, there are countless families under the Heavenly Human Immortal Sect, and our seven families are not all of them, but these seven families have overlapping areas in resource contention, and they are all on Mount Doumi Mountain!"

"So, every hundred years, these seven families will have a competition to rank!"

"And this ranking also involves the quota for the Heavenly Fire Ruins!"

He He Pingsheng asked: "What is the Heavenly Fire Ruins?"

True Person Xihu said: "You low-tier disciples might not know, but in our Spirit Realm, there are five huge continents, which are the Heavenly Fire Continent, Profound Ice Continent, Western Extreme Continent, Thunder Wilderness Continent, and Thick Earth Continent!"

"These five huge landmasses belong to the five attributes of fire, water, metal, wood, and earth!"

"On the Heavenly Fire Continent, there are ten innate true fires!"

"On the Profound Ice Continent, there are ten innate true waters!"

"On the Thunder Wilderness Continent, there are ten innate divine thunders!"

"The remaining Western Extreme Continent and Thick Earth Continent are the same; each continent has those innate five-element things according to their attributes!"

"We are on the Heavenly Fire Continent here, so there are ten innate true fires!"

"And the ten innate true fires, if you melt one, you can advance to the Mahayana realm, thereby ruling a region!"

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Hearing this, He He Pingsheng deeply felt the difference between this Spirit Realm and the Cultivation World.

And True Person Xihu was still explaining.

She seemed to feel that He He Pingsheng's cultivation was too low and he didn't understand many things about the Spirit Realm, so she explained it very thoroughly.

The Spirit Realm is divided into five continents, and each continent is inhabited by thousands of races.

Take the Heavenly Fire Continent, for example, which includes the Human race, Ape race, Giant Python race, Peacock race, Phoenix race, etc...

Countless!

In comparison, the Human race is still a relatively weak race among all these races.

On the Heavenly Fire Continent, the Human race has a Great Emperor of the Mahayana Imperial Realm, known as the 【Undying God Emperor】.

This Undying God Emperor of the Human race has fused with the 【Undying Holy Fire】 among the ten innate true fires on the Heavenly Fire Continent.

And it is said that this Undying Holy Fire wandered on the Heavenly Fire Continent for hundreds of millions of years before being fused by the Human Great Emperor, cultivating in various places of geothermal fire, fire essence, and fire origin.

And every place the Undying Holy Fire cultivated, it left behind a ruin.

Such ruins are called 【Heavenly Fire Ruins】.

In the Heavenly Fire Ruins, sometimes the origin of the heavenly fire is left behind, as well as many Daoist methods concerning heavenly fire.

Of course, the Heavenly Fire Ruins that True Person Xihu spoke of is not the ruins of the Undying Holy Fire, but the former cultivation place of the 【Nine Heavens Profound Fire】 among the ten innate true fires.

These ruins are on Mount Doumi Mountain.

It opens once every hundred years.

After opening, the seven families can decide how many cultivators to send in according to their ranking.

There is no limit to the cultivation of the cultivators entering the Heavenly Fire Ruins; they can be Nascent Soul stage, going down to understand Daoist methods, or Golden Core stage, or even Foundation Establishment stage.

The higher the ranking in the competition, the more quotas the family gets.

"He He Pingsheng... you join our Li family and represent the Li family in this competition!" True Person Xihu looked at him and said seriously: "After the competition, if you don't like it, you can leave the Li family!"

"We will definitely not stop you!"

He He Pingsheng asked: "Then... why must Qi Condensation disciples participate in the competition?"

True Person Xihu said: "Qi Condensation disciples can better see the future of a family, and every high-level disciple is a treasure of the family, not easily damaged, so the Qi Condensation competition is also the fairest!"

Qi Condensation doesn't have so many fancy tricks.

It's all about the depth of spiritual power, the power of spells, etc.

"I can represent your Li family in the competition!" He He Pingsheng agreed directly: "But... I have two conditions!"

True Person Xihu was overjoyed and said: "You say it!"

He He Pingsheng said: "The first condition, Li Li Yunyun and her brother Xiaomo, these two, your Li family must take good care of them, and take care of them for a lifetime!"

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist He's first condition to be entrusting others!" Mu Mu Ruolin on the side was filled with awe: "Instead of considering his own interests, it's truly admirable!"

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist He, I, Mu Mu Ruolin, make a vow today that even if I die, I will protect these two siblings and let them pass their lives safely!"

"No problem!" True Person Xihu said: "Two mere mortals won't consume anything from the Li family, I agree to this!"

"Good!" He He Pingsheng said: "The second condition, if I help your Li family achieve the first place, I want one quota for the Heavenly Fire Ruins!"

According to what True Person Xihu said before, in this Heavenly Fire Ruins, there is not only origin and laws.

There is another extremely important thing: breath!

Here, there is the breath left by the 【Nine Heavens Profound Fire】, and if you condense the breath to fuse with yourself, you will have a sense whenever you appear near the Nine Heavens Profound Fire in the future.

The Nine Heavens Profound Fire is still an ownerless thing.

And after having this sense, you have the opportunity to catch the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.

So this breath is the most precious thing in the Heavenly Fire Ruins.

Since that's the case, He He Pingsheng naturally wants to go over and try his luck.

"This..."

True Person Xihu frowned and said: "He He Pingsheng, it's not that our Li family is stingy, but even if I give you the quota, you can't get in!"

He He Pingsheng asked: "Why?"

True Person Xihu said: "To enter the Heavenly Fire Ruins, the minimum cultivation requirement is the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"You are only at the tenth layer of the Qi Condensation Stage now!"

"And, this ruin will open three days after the competition, it's impossible for you to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time, right?"

He He Pingsheng smiled and said: "I can!"

"May I ask Senior, how long until the competition starts?"

True Person Xihu said: "Only a month or so left!"

"That's good!" He He Pingsheng said: "To tell you the truth, Senior, I have encountered a bottleneck at the tenth layer of the Qi Condensation Stage, and coincidentally, I happen to have heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can break through the bottleneck!"

"After I swallow the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, my cultivation will instantly reach the twelfth layer of the Qi Condensation Stage!"

"After the competition, swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill, and this junior will be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"By then, there shouldn't be any problem entering the Heavenly Fire Ruins, right?"

"This!" True Person Xihu nodded: "If that's the case, it makes sense!"

"Good... alright... I'll make the decision, I'll give you one quota for the Heavenly Fire Ruins!"

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you can win the first place in this seven-sect competition for our Li family!"

He He Pingsheng said: "No problem!"

Whether it's the depth of spiritual power, combat experience, or understanding of spells and supernatural powers, He He Pingsheng is far beyond the Qi Condensation stage.

If he still can't get first place, then he really lived in vain.
