“Azure Cloud Points can be exchanged for various rewards on the Azure Cloud List.”
“Supreme Grade Foundation Building Pill, five thousand Azure Cloud Points!”
“Tier three Mysterious Snake Inner Pill, fifty thousand Azure Cloud Points!”
“Forming Core Spirit Object, Mysterious Yin Spiritual Liquid, one hundred thousand Azure Cloud Points!”
“Magical Treasures, Spiritual Artifacts…”
“Talismans, Elixir Pills…”
“Spirit Land ore veins, Spiritual Land Cave Mansions…”
“Azure Cloud Points can only be obtained through the ‘Competition of the Chosen’.”
“The Competition of the Chosen is held once a year, with three days of continuous battles determining the ranking on the Azure Cloud List.”
“All Cultivators may participate by registering here.”
“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!”
Within the sea of consciousness, Elder Zhen, who was browsing the Azure Cloud List with Xiao Miao, lost his composure again.
“This old ghost is really freaking rich!”
“But even if he’s rich, he shouldn’t be spending like this, right?”
“Fine Foundation Building Pills again, Forming Core Spirit Objects, Spirit Vein Cave Mansions, Magical Treasures, Spiritual Artifacts… are you trying to play the God of Wealth here?”
“And it’s held every year, good lord, what sins did you commit to squander your wealth like this?”
“Even if it doesn’t hurt when the wealth was plundered, gold and silver mountains can’t withstand such squandering, can they?”
“What the hell are you trying to do?”
“Ah, I can’t take it anymore, Miao kid, let’s get out of here quick; I’m afraid I’ll go crazy if we stay any longer with this old ghost!”
Facing Elder Zhen’s nonsensical rant, Xiao Miao was helpless and could only remind him, “Maybe he’s making sure the wealth doesn’t flow into the hands of others?”
“What wealth not flowing into the hands of others…”
Elder Zhen stopped talking and fell silent.
A long silence.
After the silence, there was a bitter smile.
“You’re right, not letting the wealth flow into the hands of others!”
“This Competition of the Chosen, outsiders, I’m afraid, will have a hard time winning any place.”
“Even if they win a place and take the rewards, as long as they remain in Liang Country, within the Void Spirit Realm, they will have to work for him, contribute value.”
“He’s not nourishing outsiders, he’s treating this Void Spirit Cave Heaven, the Liang Kingdom Cultivation Realm, the million cultivators, the tens of millions of mortals, as his own possessions.”
“Those who steal hooks are executed, those who steal a state become princes, and those who steal from all under heaven…”
Elder Zhen’s voice paused, not continuing, but solemnly said to Xiao Miao, “Kid, let’s go, this person is too dangerous. One misstep and catastrophe could be upon us. He can withstand it, but we can’t take it.”
“Catastrophe?”
Xiao Miao was taken aback and tentatively asked, “Are you saying…”
“Anything’s possible. This person didn’t come to the Void Spirit Realm with simple intentions. I’m afraid in the end, not only will the Big Dipper Immortal Sect be involved, but other Immortal Sects and Sacred Places from the Northern Domain might also intervene, not to mention the messy affairs of the Void Spirit Monarch… no one knows what it’ll turn into.”
Elder Zhen’s voice was serious: “If a great war breaks out in the end, this Cave Heaven world might be shattered by them!”
“That exaggerated?”
“Why else would it be called an Immortal Sect?”
After a pause of silence, Xiao Miao shook his head.
“Where can we go?”
“Liang Kingdom Cultivation Realm, it’s under his control. Without Green Jade Mountain, we won’t even have the most basic cultivation resources.”
“We can’t sneak out of the Void Spirit Cave Heaven and flee elsewhere either. It’s just burying our heads in the sand and doesn’t solve the problem.”
“The only course of action now is to follow the momentum.”
Xiao Miao’s tone grew heavy: “Elder Zhen, can your technique of concealing one’s power deceive that person?”
After a pause of silence, Elder Zhen said, “As long as you’re not in front of him, not noticed by him, you should not be exposed.”
“That’s good.”
Xiao Miao nodded: “Tomorrow, I’ll first participate in the Qi Refinement Realm competition. If discovered, I’ll reveal my Foundation Establishment Cultivation. Considering Green Jade Mountain’s way of doing things, since it’s just cheating without causing loss of life, at most they will send me to mine.”
Hearing this, Elder Zhen also sounded resigned: “Have you decided?”
“Decided!”
Xiao Miao clenched his fists and said firmly, “With such good resources, how can I not make good use of them and do justice to myself?”
“You kid… alright then!”
Elder Zhen shook his head and then said, “I’ll join you in this madness. At worst, we get caught by the old ghost and have our souls searched. If we die, we die; if we live, we live forever. What’s there to fear? Let’s do it!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Miao showed a smile: “Then I thank you, Master!”
“You cunning kid,” Elder Zhen scolded with a laugh, “But it’s also good. That old ghost is using the world as a chessboard, aiming to swallow the Void Spirit Realm. We’ll move on his chessboard, taking his things, grabbing his rewards, and then subvert him in the end, driving him to ruin. Let’s see if he dares to be so bold in the future.”
Xiao Miao’s eyes condensed: “Are you saying…”
“Yes!”
Elder Zhen let out a cunning laugh: “We’ll start with this Competition of the Chosen, first get to the top of the Qi Refinement List, take the top award, and then break through to Foundation Establishment.”
“This way, next year, you can take the reward from the Foundation Establishment List, participate in the Formation Master List, and besides, Elixir Skills, Talismans, Artifact Refining, I’m skilled in all these areas. I can’t guarantee first place, but being among the top few shouldn’t be a problem.”
“You won’t even have to work for him. With the rewards from the Competition of the Chosen, you can meet all the needs for Golden Core.”
“That old fellow calculates everything, but does he reckon with us two as a variable right under his feet?”
On a beautiful day, early in the morning.
Throughout the marketplace, after one night, it had not calmed down at all but instead grew more intense. “Competition of the Chosen” and “Earning a place on the Azure Cloud List” had become the focus of everyone’s discussion.
All Cultivators who heard about it were shaken and boiling with excitement.
Most cultivators live in the present, and compared to the elusive pursuit of Longevity Dao Fruit, more choose to seek fame and fortune, lands and beauties, and the pleasures of desire.”
