Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Leaving the forbidden area of the Demon Clan, Ling Wuse looked at Jun Wuxie with grateful eyes.

He didn't expect Jun Wuxie to take the lineage of the Ling family so seriously, directly mentioning the Teng Snake lineage to the old ancestor Ling Wu.

This shows that he has always kept this matter in mind.

“Father-in-law, why are you looking at me like that? Didn't we say that we're family and shouldn't be so formal?”

Ling Wuse couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, “Father-in-law didn't say anything.”

Then, he said again: “The day of the Ranking Competition is approaching. We will go to the Martial Ancestor Hall in three days.”

“So, the venue for the Ranking Competition is at the Martial Ancestor Hall?”

“That's right.”

Ling Wuse said that the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm is relatively close to the Martial Ancestor Hall, and after the Ranking Competition ends, they can enter the Azure Dragon Gorge nearby.

“What is the relationship between the Ranking Competition and entering the Azure Dragon Gorge?”

Jun Wuxie asked, he had always known that there was a Ranking Competition before entering the Azure Dragon Gorge, but he didn't know the relationship between the Ranking Competition and the Azure Dragon Gorge.

“It determines the number of places each force has to enter the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm.”

Ling Wuse said, he said that they should first go to his daughter Qingyu's residence to talk, it was time to tell them about the Azure Dragon Gorge, and let Qingyu understand it as well.

Arriving at Ling Qingyu's residence, Ling Qingyu, Jingya, and Qing'er were all in the small courtyard. After Ling Wuse and others sat down, they directly talked about the Azure Dragon Gorge Ranking Competition.

“Father-in-law, I have already said in the talisman message that the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm has never had any Ranking Competition in the past, but this time they insist on having a Ranking Competition, someone must be promoting it.”

He said that the rules set for this Ranking Competition are a team battle mode, with each force sending a team of three people to compete with other teams through a draw.

The first round of battle adopts a three-on-three mode. The winning side gets three points for each team defeated. The losing side is not eliminated and can still participate in the second round of battle.

The second round of battle is different from the three-on-three in the first round. It adopts a one-on-one mode, with one point awarded for each person defeated.

In the second round of battle, the winner can choose to continue to defend the stage and accept challenges from others, or they can choose to temporarily withdraw, rest, and then go on stage to continue the battle.

Jun Wuxie nodded and said: “Are the participants in the Ranking Competition only the six major dominating forces in the Eastern Territory?”

“Yes, the participants in the Ranking Competition are only our six dominating forces, but on the day of the Ranking Competition, all the quasi-dominators and high-level forces below the quasi-dominators in the Eastern Territory will come, and the scene will be very lively.”

“How is the number of places to enter the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm determined by the Ranking Competition results?”

When Jun Wuxie asked this, Ling Wuse was slightly excited and said: “The force that ranks first in the Ranking Competition has one hundred places to enter the secret realm, the second place has eighty places, the third place has sixty places, and the number of places for the following places is not determined by the ranking, but is uniformly forty places! This Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm has always been the largest secret realm in the Eastern Territory since ancient times. There are many opportunities to enter it, so the number of people who can enter the secret realm is very important!”

His implication was already very obvious. Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone at the table could hear that he was telling Jun Wuxie that he must get first place.

“Father-in-law, rest assured.”

Jun Wuxie guaranteed this. He was full of confidence. Even if he put aside the Talisman Dao and only used the Martial Dao, he was still confident.

“Wuxie, although you have entered the Saint Emperor Realm, have an amazing talent growth intensity, and have the ability to defeat higher realms with lower realms, you still can't be careless in this Ranking Competition.”

Ling Wuse said, the people selected by the major dominating forces to participate in this Ranking Competition will basically not be contemporary holy sons, because the rules for entering the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm in the Ranking Competition are that any young cultivator under the age of one hundred and whose realm is below the Saint Ancestor can participate.

“It means that you will be facing people who are not new to the Saint Emperor Realm, but people who have gone far in this realm.” Ling Wuse said here, then changed the subject, “However, the major forces will definitely not expose the strongest person under the age of one hundred in their sect in the Ranking Competition. The strongest will definitely hide in a low-key manner to avoid attracting attention, lest they be targeted after entering the Azure Dragon Gorge.”

“Understood.” Jun Wuxie nodded, then asked: “Who are we sending? Besides me and Qingcheng, who is the remaining one?”

“You, Qingyu, and Qingcheng.”

After Ling Wuse finished speaking, he explained: “With you here, we don't need to send older people to participate in the Ranking Competition. Qingyu and Qingcheng have now entered the middle Heavenly Position of the Saint Emperor Realm, and their talent growth has also reached the late stage of Mythology. These years, they have been practicing in secret realms, lacking battles with truly strong opponents. Father-in-law is thinking of taking this opportunity to let them try their skills.”

“Father-in-law's arrangement is very good.”

Jun Wuxie naturally had no objection. Cultivators cannot always cultivate behind closed doors. Although the cultivation realm improved without fighting is also real, it always needs to be verified by fighting.

“This time the Azure Dragon Gorge is opened, they arranged this Ranking Competition, limiting the number of people entering the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm. Father-in-law feels that someone among them must have mastered some secrets of the Azure Dragon Gorge that we don't know through some channels.”

Ling Wuse said that this was the only way to explain this behavior.

“That is to say, they are worried that, like in previous sessions, a large number of people entering the secret realm may get the opportunities they know in advance by luck?”

“That's roughly the case.”

Jun Wuxie was silent for a while when he heard this, then asked: “I don't know how much father-in-law knows about the Martial Ancestor Hall. What are their origins?”

“Speaking of the Martial Ancestor Hall, few people know their origins. Perhaps only the power holders of the major forces know some ancient secrets. It is said that their predecessor was related to Mount Wusheng. Mount Wusheng was an Eternal-level force several epochs ago. Later, because they fought against the darkness, all the top experts sacrificed, and eventually they disintegrated. It is said that the Martial Ancestor Hall is a force reorganized by the people who hid after the disintegration of Mount Wusheng after a long period of time.”

Hearing this answer, Jun Wuxie's hand under the jade table slowly tightened.

He was just asking casually, thinking that the Martial Ancestor Hall and Mount Wusheng had some origins in their names, and wondering if there was any connection between the two.

He didn't expect to get such a surprise!

His master's wife, Hua Yi's, sect was not cut off, but changed its name and preserved it.

Although it can't be compared with the past, at least the inheritance is still there. If Master's wife knows, she will be very happy!

“In the Ranking Competition, I have to help the Martial Ancestor Hall, at least let them get second place…”

Jun Wuxie thought to himself.

“This time the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm is opened, I don't know what kind of opportunities you can get in it. This is the most prosperous era in the ancient prophecies. I think it should be much stronger than the opportunities in the past.”

Ling Wuse said that after entering the Azure Dragon Gorge, they need to find opportunities to seize good fortune as soon as possible, because the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm is not only open to the dominating forces of the Eastern Territory.

The six major dominating forces conduct the Ranking Competition, and after awakening the places, they are just the first to enter the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm, with only half a month's advantage.

Half a month later, the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm will no longer have restrictions on the level of power, and other forces in the Eastern Territory can each choose twenty people to enter.

At that time, a large number of young talents and kings of talents will pour into the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm.

“Half a month is already very long for competing for opportunities.”

Jun Wuxie knows the advantage of gaining the upper hand. Over the years, he has competed with countless people. Opportunities often disappear in a flash. A slow step may fall into the hands of others and miss the opportunity, let alone fifteen days.

“Father-in-law.” Jun Wuxie thought for a while, and still bit the bullet and said: “When will you call Qingcheng out of the secret realm?”

Hearing this, the muscles on Ling Wuse's face twitched, and he said unhappily: “Tomorrow, father-in-law knows you are anxious, but today is your engagement day with Qingyu, don't think about other women.”

Jun Wuxie heard this and showed an awkward but polite smile.

Indeed, on a day like today, he knew it was very embarrassing to ask Qingyu's father about his other woman.

But he was about to go to the Martial Ancestor Hall to participate in the Ranking Competition, so he had to ask.

It had been more than ten years since they last met, and he naturally missed Yan Qingcheng, but he didn't want her to see his engagement with Ling Qingyu as soon as she came out, fearing that she would feel resentment before her thoughts were comforted, so he had been holding back from mentioning it all these years.

Now, his engagement ceremony with Qingyu is over, so he naturally wants to ask about Yan Qingcheng.

“We're leaving, we won't disturb you.”

Ling Wuse and Nanli Jingwei got up and left, Jun Wuxie and Ling Qingyu sent them out of the small courtyard.

After walking a few steps, Ling Wuse suddenly stopped, turned around and said: “On the day of great joy, the wedding night is essential. Your mother-in-law and I want to hold our grandson sooner.”

“Dad! What are you talking about!”

Ling Qingyu's face was flushed, and she glared at her father Ling Wuse fiercely.

“What's there to be shy about? Between husband and wife, having children is a matter of course. You can't let the Ling family be extinct.”

Ling Wuse said righteously and solemnly, making Jun Wuxie very embarrassed, and said speechlessly: “Father-in-law, you should leave quickly.”

“Hahaha!”

Ling Wuse laughed and left.

Seeing their backs disappear, Jun Wuxie shook his head with a smile, but he just met his master Mu Ciyin's eyes.

She seemed to be staring at him, but you couldn't see any emotion in her snow-like eyes, but Jun Wuxie felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had done something wrong.

“Husband, don't listen to my father, I won't sleep with you tonight~”

Ling Qingyu said with a blushing face.

Jun Wuxie smiled immediately when he heard this, “If you don't sleep with your husband, who will you sleep with?”

Ling Qingyu pursed her lips and chuckled, looking at him provocatively, “I'll sleep with my aunt!”

As she spoke, she hugged Jingya's arm.

"Is there a difference?"

Jun Wuxie looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Why would there be no difference?"

"Ask your aunt and you'll know."

Jun Wuxie's smile deepened, and Ling Qingyu couldn't help but look at Jingya, who blushed slightly and said, "Qingyu, you sleep with your aunt, and your aunt sleeps with her husband. It seems there really isn't a difference..."

"Ah! Aunt, how could you say that～"

Ling Qingyu's face was full of resentment, and her delicate earlobes and snow-white neck turned red.

Qing'er watched this scene calmly from the side. She had seen similar scenes far too many times in these long years.

On the contrary, Mu Ciyin, who should have had a calm mind, had waves stirred up in her heart because of this.

As for her mood at this moment, perhaps only Qing'er knew besides herself.

......

At the same time, in a hidden area of the Eastern Territory, inside a black ancient hall with roads paved with white bones and a large number of heads inlaid at the entrance, the branch hall master of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall had an extremely gloomy expression.

He had already learned the detailed process of how the six envoys he sent were all killed.

The soul tablets of the six envoys had long been shattered, which he already knew. At that time, he sent people to the Holy City of the Demon Race to inquire.

Now the person who went to inquire about the news has returned and reported the situation he learned.

He didn't expect that silver-haired talisman master would directly attack.

A Mixed Origin Saint Realm level talisman master would actually attack a Saint Ancestor!

"Extremely outrageous! That silver-haired talisman master completely disregarded his status and attacked, and didn't even put my Soul Hunting Sacred Hall in his eyes. He is blatantly provoking us in front of the world. Is he tired of living!"

The branch hall master's anger was raging. Originally, if he could bring back Jun Wuxie's body this time, he might have made a great contribution and his future would be limitless, but it was ruined by the silver-haired talisman master!

"Hall Master, calm your anger. That silver-haired talisman master won't be arrogant for too long. Once the era evolves to that node, our Eternal Saint Realm existence will be born, and killing the silver-haired talisman master will be as easy as flipping a hand!"

"Quickly select some young Soul Hunting Envoys, find those few forces, and use the identities of their disciples to enter Azure Dragon Gorge! The Azure Dragon Gorge secret realm has a formation to detect, and when entering, the methods that silver-haired talisman master planted on Jun Wuxie will be erased. Once inside, he can only rely on himself, and that will be his death date!"

The branch hall master's cold voice caused the temperature inside the entire hall to drop sharply, chilling to the bone.
