Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

Clearly, even with Shen Lin's impressive performance, Yan Zeyu didn't believe he could become a Stellar Realm martial artist within a year.

As a Chiliarch of the You Province Demon Suppression Division, he had received countless resources for cultivation, yet he had been stuck at the peak of the Aperture Realm for decades.

A Stellar Realm cultivator could establish a third-rank noble family even in the Great Wei Dynasty.

In the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, they would be worthy of being enfeoffed as a king.

"Compared to this..."

Yan Zeyu retracted his smile, his expression turning serious, and said:

"The selection for the Demon Quelling Marquis is starting in a week. How are your preparations going?"

Shen Lin glanced at the astonishing demon lifespan on his panel and nodded, saying, "I have a little bit of confidence."

"That's good!"

In fact, just from Shen Lin's perfect Treasure Nectar Realm cultivation, it was evident that he had a high chance of passing the selection.

However, this time, there were simply too many participants in the selection, including the favored direct descendants of various major families.

Although Shen Lin could already kill Aperture Realm demons despite being at a lower level, those direct descendants of the imperial capital's major families could do the same.

They lacked no cultivation resources, and the cultivation methods and martial arts they practiced were all top-notch.

Competing with them would still be somewhat difficult for Shen Lin.

At this moment, Liu Jing, who was beside them, asked with some confusion: "Since there's only a week left, shouldn't we set off for the imperial capital immediately?"

You Province was quite far from the imperial capital.

If Shen Lin wanted to participate in the Demon Quelling Marquis selection on time, he would have to leave at least five days in advance.

But Yan Zeyu had just said that Shen Lin shouldn't go out during this time?

"This year's Demon Quelling Marquis selection will be held in You Province."

Looking at the confusion on Liu Jing's face, Yan Zeyu said with a wry smile:

"I only received the notice yesterday. It seems that this year's selection is somewhat different, so the selection method has been changed."

"So, I'll have to trouble you these next few days."

"The geniuses from all over who are participating in the selection will be arriving in You Province soon, and we must prepare suitable accommodations for them."

Liu Jing pointed at herself blankly.

"You mean you want me to arrange all this?"

Yan Zeyu nodded and said, "There's no other way. I have to receive the Demon Quelling Marquis who is coming to preside over the selection, and I can't spare any time."

"Well, I suddenly remembered something..."

Liu Jing's eyes darted around, and she slowly retreated.

Arranging the food, drink, and lodging for those people was a big hassle.

Several hundred or even a thousand people wouldn't cause much of a stir for You Province City; they could be easily accommodated.

However, those were all geniuses and young masters from various places.

If they were randomly thrown into some restaurant or inn, they would probably tear the place down that very day.

Only a fool would take on such a task...

Liu Jing wanted to withdraw, but after hearing Yan Zeyu's casual remark, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

"100,000 contribution points!"

"100,000?"

Liu Jing turned around, her expression somewhat conflicted.

Seeing this, Yan Zeyu raised the stakes again.

"If you do a good job and don't cause any major incidents, then after this matter is over, I can give you 200,000!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jing didn't hesitate at all and said directly: "Deal!"

After speaking, she rushed out in a hurry, without even saying goodbye to Yan Zeyu.

"Chiliarch Liu seems... to be very short on contribution points."

Shen Lin was somewhat puzzled.

With her status as a Chiliarch, even the annual salary issued by the imperial court would be a large amount of contribution points.

But whether it was when she killed the Crane Brothers before, or her current performance, Shen Lin found it very perplexing.

"She previously... because of some matters, asked a Primordial Realm senior in the Demon Suppression Division to take action, and she incurred a lot of debt."

Shen Lin nodded in understanding, cupped his fist, and said, "Chiliarch Yan, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

"Go, go back and prepare well!"

......

In the Great Wei imperial capital, Dao Xuan Sect.

Daoist Yun Qing knelt before an old man, remorsefully saying:

"Disciple is incompetent and failed to bring back the Tai Xuan Token."

The old man sat upright on a prayer mat and slowly opened his eyes.

"Can you confirm that the Tai Xuan Token is on that young man from the Demon Suppression Division?"

Daoist Yun Qing's forehead was touching the ground, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, tremblingly replying:

"Disciple searched the remains of those two evil beasts, but found nothing. The Tai Xuan Token was most likely taken away by that junior."

"Alas ~"

The old man sighed and slowly stood up.

Daoist Yun Qing hurriedly got up to support him, respectfully accompanying him to the door.

"Yun Qing, do you know why our Dao Xuan Sect can stand among the first-rank sects in the Great Wei Dynasty?"

Without thinking, Yun Qing immediately said: "Because the cultivation methods and martial arts passed down by our founding ancestor are incomparably profound, and all the past Sect Leaders have been in the Primordial Realm."

He was somewhat puzzled, secretly raising his head to look at the old man, not understanding why his master would ask about this matter.

But who knew, the old man sighed and shook his head, saying:

"Everyone says that my Dao Xuan Sect's founding ancestor was exceptionally talented, comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and created the Dao Xuan True Scripture, a high-grade earth-level cultivation method."

When Yun Qing heard him mention the Dao Xuan Sect's founding ancestor, a hint of fanaticism immediately appeared in his eyes, saying: "The ancestral master is a true immortal reincarnated, naturally not someone that those ordinary mortals can compare with."

However, the old man shook his head and said: "These words are all fabricated to deceive outsiders."

"Ah?"

Yun Qing was directly stunned in place.

The old man ignored him, looking at the misty clouds in front of him, and said to himself: "The so-called Dao Xuan True Scripture is actually a cultivation method from the previous dynasty's Tai Xuan Sect. Although it is an earth-level cultivation method, its limitations are too great."

"The sect has always claimed that the Dharma should not be lightly transmitted, and only the Dao Xuan Sect's Sect Leader can learn the Dao Xuan Sect."

"In fact, it's only because the Dao Xuan True Scripture needs the Dao Xuan Purple Qi as a guide to cultivate."

"And this Dao Xuan Purple Qi can only be found in the Tai Xuan Secret Realm."

"The Tai Xuan Purple Qi left behind by the ancestral master back then has almost been exhausted. Over the years, every time the Tai Xuan Secret Realm is opened, we will send people in to search for it."

"From the initial three Tai Xuan Tokens to the present, the last Tai Xuan Token has been lost."

After saying these words, the old man turned his head, looked at Yun Qing, and said: "So, do you now know how big of a mistake your junior brother and you have made?"

With a thud, Yun Qing fell to his knees, his face pale, his lips trembling, unable to say a word, and could only keep kowtowing.

After a long time, the old man sighed.

"According to what you said, that young man killed the Leisure Cloud Twin Cranes with the cultivation of the Treasure Nectar Realm, so he should choose to participate in this Demon Quelling Marquis selection."

"Go to the back mountain, bring a few spirit beasts, and wait in the mountains west of You Province."

"I will arrange for someone to lure that guy to your place."

"If you can't bring back the Tai Xuan Token, then you don't need to come back."

Yun Qing suddenly raised his head, looked at the old man with determination, and said: "Please rest assured, Master! This time, I will definitely complete your instructions."
