Everlasting Divine Emperor

Seeing Mu Qingyan's deathly pale and mournful expression, Xuanyuan Hanxue could not bear it any longer. He said in a dejected tone, "Qingyan …"

"Master, am I not marrying?" Mu Qingyan said in a pleading tone, "Elder Shang and the others said that Mo Lingfeng was overbearing and arrogant, that he was unscrupulous and lustful, and had many good women destroyed in his hands. If I marry him, then my entire life will be ruined! Master, do you have the heart to do so? "

"Qingyan, listen to me …"

Xuanyuan Hanxue let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, I don't want you to marry Mo Lingfeng, but Xumi Mountain is ranked third amongst the top ten strongest sects in the entire Holy Spirit Continent and is much stronger than us. Moreover, that Mo Lingfeng is Xumi Mountain's Great Elder Mo Kuanglong's beloved son, so if I do not agree to marry Xumi Mountain, then it would be equivalent to creating a strong enemy for Phoenix Mountain, and the consequences are unimaginable …"

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Besides, even though you might suffer a bit when you marry Mo Lingfeng, in terms of the overall situation, our Phoenix Mountain and the disciples have an alliance, which is equivalent to obtaining a helping hand. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages …"

She knitted her brows and sighed deeply as she explained the importance of this matter to Mu Qingyan. Mu Qingyan did not say anything but allowed her tears to pour down like rain.

… ….

Ye Daoxuan and Shang Jingyun, Master and disciple, rode divine rainbows and arrived at the Grand Elder's Hall on Jingyun Peak.

Although the Elders' Great Hall was not as spectacular as the Main Hall, it wasn't by much. Ye Daoxuan followed Shang Jingyun and entered, looking around as he praised.

Shang Jingyun sat on the stone chair at the head of the table. She had a slight smile on her face as she said in a gentle voice, "Ye Daoxuan, from today onwards, we are master and disciple. You are my only disciple, so I will do my best to cultivate you, but I also hope that you will redouble your efforts and not disgrace me … Can you do it? "

"Yes!" He knew that it was easier to talk to Shang Jingyun. He smiled and said, "Master, I came from the Immortal Yuan Continent, and the cultivation resources there are extremely scarce. I'm very pitiful right now, and I don't have any …"

Shang Jingyun waved her hand to cut him off and smiled, "Good boy, you just entered the sect and you're already crying because you're poor … Alright, then Master will give you a little gift. Keep this storage ring, the cultivation resources inside are enough for you to cultivate for a while. "In addition, you are already a core disciple. As a rule, you can go to the Treasure Hall to collect cultivation resources every month. That amount is quite a large amount."

He continued, "Also, you are a Saint-rank alchemist. You can refine saint rank spirit pellets for our sect to earn contribution points, and then you can use contribution points to exchange for treasures that you like. The more contribution points one obtains, the more cultivation resources one would exchange for. "As for how to earn some contribution points, you can take a look at the Treasure Repository when you have nothing better to do."

"Got it, Master! Thank you, Master, for your greeting gift! "

When he saw that there were millions of Holy Stones and even some Holy Spirit Fruits and pellets, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth, thinking that Phoenix Restaurant was one of the biggest sects in the entire Holy Spirit Continent. He never thought that the grand elder would actually be so 'poor', thinking that the gift she would give him would be at least a million Holy Stones, and only knew that it would only be a million.

Ye Daoxuan was able to see that Shang Jingyun wasn't a stingy person. If she could give him these, it would only mean that Phoenix Brothel's cultivation resources weren't abundant.

"Do you think I rarely give you a greeting gift?" Shang Jingyun asked, as if he had seen through Ye Daoxuan's thoughts.

"This... Indeed, it's not much! " Ye Daoxuan laughed dryly and said, "In our Immortal Yuan Continent, the most common cultivation resource is primeval stones. The gifts that the masters of the large sects give to their disciples are at least in the tens of millions or in the hundreds of millions …"

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Shang Jingyun's face as she forced a smile and said, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I really can't afford to give it to you! Although our Phoenix Restaurant is one of the big sects in the Holy Spirit Continent, we are still ranked at the bottom of the top ten sects. Thus, even though we have the share of the holy stone mining, we have the smallest share, which is distributed to every disciple. And after a few months … "

As she spoke to here, the smile on her face disappeared and was replaced with deep regret and loss.

"What happened after a few months?" Ye Daoxuan said in a mysterious manner.

Shang Jingyun hesitated for a moment and then said, "You are now a core disciple of Phoenix Brothel. There are some things that I won't hide from you. In a few months, our Phoenix Restaurant will likely face the biggest crisis since the creation of the sect … "

Ye Daoxuan was moved. Phoenix Restaurant's weakest service disciple were all peak late Greater Celestial level experts, and the strongest few were even at the Soul Formation stage. If these tens of thousands of disciples were to gather together, how powerful would a large sect be? Yet such a great sect was facing danger?

Ye Daoxuan didn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, he quietly waited for Shang Jingyun to continue speaking.

"In a few months, the ten great sects of the Holy Spirit Continent, as well as a few sects with the hope of entering the top ten sects, will all gather at the Mystical Mausoleum near the Heavenly Dao Sect. There, the Martial Competition will be held to decide the top ten places. During the thousand years that we discovered the Saint Stone lode, our Phoenix Restaurant has been relying on our immense reserves to occupy a spot within the top ten. From then on, we have continuously obtained Saint Stones for our disciples to cultivate … "

Shang Jingyun saw that Ye Daoxuan was listening attentively, and continued, "However, in the past hundred years, we phoenixes have been drunk like mud among the younger generation of disciples, with the number of outstanding talent becoming fewer and fewer. On the other hand, the younger generation disciples of the other nine sects have also become more and more talented. During the last Martial Competition Competition, if it weren't for a few disciples fighting to the death, our Phoenix Restaurant would have already been squeezed out of the top ten. This time, the situation is even more dire. The Tower Lord and the others have already speculated that the possibility of being squeezed out of the top ten by the other sects who are eyeing us covetously is extremely high … "

"If we are pushed out of the top ten, we will not be able to obtain the share of the Sacred Stone Mining Veins. After losing the share, our cultivation resources will be even more scarce and the disciples' cultivation would be greatly affected. Is that right? " Ye Daoxuan said.

Shang Jingyun nodded, "That's right." Ye Daoxuan, I have already discussed with the Tower Master and the others that with your age and cultivation, you can absolutely represent our Phoenix Pavilion in the Martial Competition … "

Ye Daoxuan was shocked and quickly waved his hand, saying, "I can't …. I'll be a burden to everybody if I go. Compared to Senior Sister Sun Ru and Senior Sister Mu Qingyan, my strength is far too weak. "

Shang Jingyun replied: "But the Martial Competition requires five people to participate, and although there are a lot of experts in Phoenix Brothel, among those under 100 years of age, and above, only Mu Qingyan, Sun Ru, Zhou Lingxiu, Wu Linglong and you are participating. Before you joined Phoenix Restaurant, we originally wanted to let a disciple who had just entered Dan Yuan Stage join us, but now we have you. Ye Daoxuan, we don't require you to definitely defeat your opponent.

Seeing Shang Jingyun say this, Ye Daoxuan did not have the heart to refuse. He smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, I'll go. At that time, I will give it my all for Phoenix Restaurant's glory! It's just that I wonder what realm of experts our opponents are at? "

Shang Jingyun said, "The disciples sent by the various sects are all of the younger generation under one hundred years old. They are all of the Danyuan stage, but among them, most are of the little Danyuan stage. However, there are also early stage, middle stage and peak stage cultivation realms. What is missing from our Phoenix Restaurant are the middle stage and peak stage cultivators. Every single time, we would lose to them. Now that you have joined us, the situation is slightly better. "

Ye Daoxuan thought to himself, "With my current combat power, if I can kill a cultivator at the peak of the little Dan Yuan Stage, as Elder Shang had said, the majority of the participants in the competition will be little Dan Yuan Stage. Then, I have a high chance of defeating the opponent. Regardless of whether Phoenix Restaurant can win five battles and three victories, or protect the top ten places, as long as I win against them, I will not lose any face. "

"With senior apprentice sister Mu's cultivation, defeating her should be a given." Ye Daoxuan casually said.

It was likely that this would be the first time she would participate in the Martial Competition a few months later. However, she was a Great Dan Yuan Stage expert and was several times stronger than a small Dan Yuan Stage expert. It should not be a problem to win one match in five rounds.

Mentioning Mu Qingyan, a look of regret appeared on Shang Jingyun's face as she said, "Qingyan … I think that she might not have any thoughts of competing in martial arts. If she were to meet an opponent with the same cultivation level, it is very likely that she would lose … "

"Why?" Ye Daoxuan was puzzled.

The corner of Shang Jingyun's mouth curled into a bitter and helpless smile, and he sighed: "Because Qing Yan has been chosen by Xumi Mountain's chief core disciple Mo Lingfeng, after the competition ends, Mo Lingfeng will come to marry her, and Qing Yan knows that Mo Lingfeng's reputation is extremely bad, but she is extremely unwilling, but for the Phoenix Restaurant, I think that she will hide this grievance in her heart, and obey Mo Lingfeng …"

"Mount Xumi? Mo Lingfeng? " Ye Daoxuan's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Are they all very strong?"

"Mm, very strong!" Shang Jingyun said: "Mount Xumi is ranked third amongst the top ten great sects with hundreds of thousands of disciples. In terms of overall strength, it is several times stronger than our Phoenix Restaurant. That Mo Lingfeng, who was in his early thirties, was already half a step into the middle stage of the Danyuan Stage, much stronger than Qingyan. He was one of the best disciples of the younger generation in the Saint Origin universe. If she were to meet him during the martial arts competition, she would have to bow her head and admit defeat. If Xumi Mountain wasn't that powerful, how could they have forcefully allied themselves with our Phoenix Restaurant and forced them to marry Mo Lingfeng? "

Ye Daoxuan saw Mu Qingyan's beautiful appearance and her beautiful figure in front of him. Thinking about how she was feeling wronged and had teary eyes as she married to someone she didn't like, he felt indignant and said, "Senior Sister Mu is the Holy Maiden of our Phoenix Restaurant. How can Xumi Shan be so strong, and yet our Phoenix Restaurant is willing to give in?"

Shang Jingyun shook his head and said, "Xumi Mountain is too strong, so strong that even though we are unwilling and unwilling to do anything, we have no choice but to sacrifice our beautiful bodies and compromise ourselves. Because of Xumi's retaliation, our Phoenix Restaurant cannot afford it! "

Ye Daoxuan was speechless.

This world was like this. No matter where one went, the strong were revered, and the weak were slaves that struggled to survive.
