Outside Huang Valley, hunting banners fluttered.
A hundred cultivators dashed over in succession. The Qilin Pavilion Eleven Officials’ “Chamberlain of Military Farms” Zhao Chongguo was stern-faced as usual sitting upon her chair. The woman’s expression was impeccable as she carefully looked at each cultivator.
The Qilin Cub selection requirements were very simple. All cultivators who obtained a Qilin Claw would enter the Huang Valley and fight over the other cultivators’ Qilin Claws, and they would only be allowed to leave early next morning. The ten cultivators with the most Qilin Claws at the designated time would become Qilin Cubs subordinate to Zhao Chongguo and participate in the Western Fields Hunt. One could leave once they collected twenty Qilin Claws, but on the other hand, they would be viewed as wash-outs.
Since this was a competition, death and injury were unavoidable. However, there was a common understanding between all of Star World’s cultivators and Star Generals – death was the wager to obtain this.
When Chen Mo reached Huang Valley, the hundred Qilin Cub candidates were already prepared for battle, exhibiting killing intent, treating each other as their greatest enemy.
“Brother Mo Chen, you actually are participating in the Qilin Cub?” Yan Yu was somewhat amazed to catch sight of Chen Mo. Given Chen Mo’s cultivation, to be able to join the Qilin Cub candidates was somewhat outside his expectations. However, he was even more astonished to discover that Chen Mo’s prior Primordial Spirit One Division cultivation had surprisingly already passed the Second Division, “Divine Wood Division.”
Among Primordial Spirit Seven Divisions, one did not need to fear the “Five Elements Metal” restriction after the first Division, Divine Arms Division; one became impervious to sword and spear. After Divine Wood Division, they did not need to fear the “Five Elements Wood” restriction. It was very simple for an Earthly Immortal to pass the Primordial Spirit Seven Divisions. They need only endlessly temper themselves in every kind of Five Elements condition to do so.
But last time, Yan Yu distinctly sensed that Chen Mo’s aura was not even close to Divine Wood Division at all.
How is this guy so fast?
Yan Yu furrowed his brow. He was well aware that the Tail Fire Star Field’s “Chamberlain Mansion Restaurant” had a Qilin Shed-skin dish that could allow a cultivator’s Primordial Spirit to quickly advance into Divine Wood Division, but it could not possibly do so overnight.
Soul Technique ability?
“Brother Yan Yu also passed, congratulation.” Chen Mo cupped his fist.
“That was nothing more than a small demonstration. The true danger is but in this valley battle.” Yan Yu shook his head, seriously saying: “Don’t blame me for not warning you, Brother. They say that this battle over Qilin Claws in the valley is a way to select the most talented Qilin Cubs. In reality, this is nothing more than a massacre where the strong prey upon the weak. There is absolutely no fluke.”
“Brother Yan, you have certainty for yourself?” Hearing him so serious, Chen Mo was actually somewhat curious about him.
Yan Yu was only a step away from Universe Origin Three Boundaries. Among everyone present, he was not the most eye-catching. To be frank, he was not necessarily in a better position.
“I am a disciple of the ‘Ten Thousand Souls Rebirth Path.’1 I have ways to save myself.” Yan Yu whispered.
The Ten Thousand Souls Rebirth Path, one of Star World’s Ten Great Sects.
Chen Mo heard the Senior Sisters mention them before. Star World’s Ten Great Sects all possessed thousands of years of development. They were enormous and deeply rooted sects, but only two of them had the shortest history. One was the “Ten Thousand Souls Rebirth Path” and the other was the “Purple Firmaments Immortal Palace.”2 These two sects were established only seven or eight hundred years ago, not yet one “era.”
In Star World, a thousand years was one “Star Era.” Sects, Star Generals or cultivators able to exist for a “Star Era” were all ranked among the top, their names renowned everywhere. There was only one reason for things like the Purple Firmaments Immortal Palace or the Ten Thousand Souls Rebirth Path to be able to rank among the Ten Great Sects before one Star Era – the sects were so powerful, all the others paled in comparison.
“This is the first time Your Servant has met a disciple of the Rebirth path.” The Ten Thousand Souls Rebirth Path’s reputation was not very good at all. They cultivated some Dark Rebirth Devil Collapsing Body Reincarnation3 ability that consumed one’s soul to boost cultivation. They were the unorthodox sect among the Ten.
“Be at ease, Brother. Our Rebirth Path does not consume Primordial Spirit or flesh, otherwise, we would have branded a ‘Devil Sect’ by the Central Star Field and exterminated long ago. Consumption of the soul is from the betrayal of a sect under us, the ‘Heavenly Devil Path.’ The people have misunderstood us.” Yan Yu said.
“I feel Brother Yan is also righteous, not like those vulgar wretches.” Chen Mo praised him.
Yan Yu laughed.
“Brother Mo Chen, you had better be careful. I notice that the Three Sons of Red Truth have been monitoring you this whole time. I fear they harbor ill intentions towards you.” Yan Yu gave a bit of advice.
Chen Mo had killed even a Lord Of Heaven. He basically did not worry about cultivators. Right now, the only things in Star World that could make him feel danger were the top one hundred True Phoenix Realm Star Generals on the Star Duels List.
“Hm?”
Chen Mo noticed that other than the Three Sons, many gazes stared at him, intentionally or otherwise. There was no shortage of Universe Origin Three Realms or even Lord Of Heaven Realm cultivators.
Accordingly, his cultivation should be unremarkable, not enough to catch the attention of a Universe Origin Three Boundaries cultivator.
Could it be that he had become prey?
Chen Mo looked around.
Huang Valley, atop a terrace.
Zhao Chongguo looked over the already gathered hundred cultivators, “Are there no other cultivators in the valley?”
“The formation has already been set, there are no others.” The deputy general answered.
“Very good. Star Generals have also come to participate in the Yuanshou this time.” Zhao Chongguo smiled as she looked at several figures that meticulously concealed themselves with cloaks. Although they were very hidden, those wonderful figures were still very obvious. In Star World, such behavior was undoubtedly a self-deception.
“Do you know who came?”
“Their Star Weapons have not been used yet. They are unknown for the time being.”
Zhao Chongguo was indifferent. The top ten Qilin would naturally enter her array eye anyways. If one could not even reach the top ten, then there was no need to waste time thinking about such Star Generals.
The mist of Huang Valley slowly grew thicker, obscuring the banners.
“Thank you, everyone, for participating in Lady Chamberlain’s Qilin Cub Selection. One hundred ‘Qilin Claws’ have already been released into the valley prior for a total of two hundred combined with everyone’s. The ten with the most have the qualifications to follow Lady Chamberlain to the Qilin Star Kingdom to meet the Martial Emperor and participate in the Yuanshou.”
The female general said with a resounding voice.
All the cultivators’ blood boiled. To be able to meet a top-notch Star General like one of the Sixteen Star Marquis was a once in a lifetime event. Of course, if they could enter a qilin’s dwelling like the “Western Fields,” that was considered even more fortuitous.
Seeing they were all ready, a hundred cannons rang.
Immediately afterwards, the hundred cultivators became multi-colored escape lights that entered the Huang Valley one after another. A formation was already laid in the Huang Valley. A hundred thousand officers stood guard outside the valley; other cultivators did not dare think of intruding.
The hundred cultivators spread out through the vast Huang Valley. Very quickly, like stones cast into a lake, they vanished without a trace.
“Another hundred Qilin Claws. Her arrangements are actually very meticulous.”
Chen Mo landed beside a lake and surveyed the environment.
If there were a hundred Qilin Claws in the Huang Valley, then that allowed some exceptionally talented cultivators to qualify without seizing another’s Qilin Claw, but was a cultivator such a cautious existence?
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes. He already could vaguely smell the scent of blood in the air.
“If only those Three Sons of Red Truth brought about their own doom.” Chen Mo recalled those triplets’ behavior and shook his head. He did not want to start a massacre, but if people attacked him, he would not show mercy.
As long as he was not faced with the teamwork of Lord Of Heaven-level cultivators, Chen Mo was confident he was still safe.
At the same time.
Qingyi seemed to step on clouds as she hovered high in the sky and overlooked the valley. Huang Valley was not large at all. Qingyi very easily locked on to everyone’s presences. Chen Mo’s Earthly Immortal aura could not escape her notice.
“Mo Chen, let Qingyi see whether or not have the qualifications to be used for hunting qilin together.”
Qingyi locked on to Chen Mo’s location. She flipped her wrist and produced a talisman. With a flourish, the Sound Transmission Talisman immediately turned into a glowing green light.
A dozen cultivators in the valley obtained the Sound Transmission Talisman’s orders. Then, under these orders, they all moved towards the indicated location.
“Sister Houxiu, the Dragon Of Pushan has made her move.”
A thousand li away, Tayan already saw Qingyi’s activities.
As she spoke, a simple and elegant woman suddenly appeared. She was one with the Heavens, wordless and uncommunicative. Around her, there were surprisingly several dozen Qilin Claws already under her gentle control.
Houxiu did not utter a word. The girl’s deep gaze was able to grasp the Huang Valley’s situation clearly.
“This is perfect to be able to see if he has the Four Symbols or not.” Tayan murmured.
Houxiu’s brow slightly wrinkled.
More beautiful than mountains and rivers.
