Ye Chen, Outer Sect Competition

Looking back at the Saint Child Palace, Xiao Fan just let out a long breath. Alas, could these two sisters have some kind of yandere Physique?

Although yandere is good, it's also a bit scary.

Uncle Jiang didn't know Xiao Fan's troubles; he just respectfully said, "Young Lord, the Disciple you asked me to deal with a while ago, I've already taken care of him."

"Oh, is that so? That's good."

Xiao Fan didn't pay much attention; he was quite confident in Uncle Jiang's ability to handle things.

"However, there were some minor incidents, and I feel it's necessary to report them to the Young Lord."

"Incidents? Could it be that someone was backing him?" Xiao Fan asked, puzzled.

Disciples who can enter a top-tier power like the Tai Xuan Holy Land either come from wealthy families, have powerful backgrounds, or have connections with people in the Holy Land. These three types of people are the most common.

Truly talented individuals, like Su Yiyun, who Awaken Heaven-Defying Physiques, are exceedingly rare. Speaking of which, that Jade Maiden Ice Phoenix Body is truly something else; I'll Dual Cultivate with her again next time!

So, when he heard about an incident, Xiao Fan instinctively thought he had provoked some power.

"There was indeed someone, but it's not a big problem."

"Your subordinate, along with his Family, was also annihilated. Of course, your subordinate didn't forget the Young Lord's instructions: cut the earthworm vertically, scramble the egg yolk, and even his Family's dog was hanged by me. Absolutely no Karma was left behind."

Xiao Fan's expression was playful. This… why does it sound like I'm a big Devil Head?

He couldn't help but re-examine Uncle Jiang. This middle-aged man had a mysterious background. It was said that he was subdued by his father and then humbly served as Xiao Fan's Protector.

He usually seemed gentle and refined; he didn't expect him to have such a strong killing intent.

"Did that person commit anything else besides extorting protection fees in the city?" Xiao Fan asked curiously. Although Uncle Jiang eradicated the roots, he wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately.

"Oh, it's like this: I originally just wanted to cripple him, but then he said: 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man in poverty.'"

"Young Lord, you said that people who hold grudges like that shouldn't be left alive."

So that's how it was!

Xiao Fan nodded in deep agreement. It seems you've taken my words to heart.

"Young Lord, are you referring to condensing a Nascent Soul when you say Undergoing Tribulation?" Uncle Jiang asked.

"Yes."

Although he had a guess in his heart, hearing Xiao Fan say this still greatly surprised Uncle Jiang.

The Family's estimate for Xiao Fan was that he would form a Nascent Soul at thirty. He didn't expect that at only halfway through eighteen, he was already preparing to form a Nascent Soul.

Thirty years old? The Young Lord will probably be in the Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Phase by then.

The Young Lord truly lives up to his reputation as the Family's unique Cultivation Genius.

"You go about your business. I'm going to the Grand Elder's place." With that said, Xiao Fan sped away.

...

At the Tai Xuan Holy Land, the Outer Sect Grand Competition was currently being held.

This is a biennial event at the Tai Xuan Holy Land, designed to provide a path for Outer Sect Disciples to advance.

The Tai Xuan Holy Land has clear Ranks: Qi Refining for servants, Foundation Establishment for Outer Sect, Golden Core for Inner Sect, Nascent Soul for core, Soul Transformation for deacons, and Void Refining and above for Elders.

A Body Integration Cultivator is a core Elder. If one is promoted to a Great Ascension cultivator, they can hold managerial positions similar to Grand Elder or Holy Land Protector, and their treatment will also increase accordingly.

Therefore, in the Holy Land, as long as you improve your Cultivation and enhance your strength, you can obtain more Cultivation resources.

This is the general division of Ranks and functions. In addition, there are some flexible methods.

That is the Grand Competition for Inner and Outer Sects.

For example, in the Outer Sect Grand Competition, there are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Tai Xuan Holy Land. If not ten to eighty million, then at least one to eighty million.

To increase the enthusiasm of Disciples for Cultivation and to better train Disciples with the ability to kill beyond their Rank.

The Holy Land also understands flexibility and holds competitions.

As long as one can Rank among the top one hundred in the Outer Sect Grand Competition, even if they haven't formed a Golden Core, they can be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple and enjoy the treatment of an Inner Sect Disciple.

These Disciples, who can stand out among hundreds of thousands of Disciples, not only demonstrate their strength but also prove their outstanding Aptitude.

At this moment, on a certain arena in the Outer Sect Grand Competition.

A young man with resolute eyes had a calm expression, but his heart was churning with turbulent waves.

"Didn't I die under the siege of the Ten Immortal Emperors? Where is this?"

He looked around in confusion.

What met his eyes were all Foundation Establishment fellow Disciples, and on the high platform were several Soul Transformation deacons, presiding over the Outer Sect Grand Competition.

On their Daoist robes, the two large characters 'Tai Xuan' were carved on their left chest.

Memories surged like a tide, overwhelming him, and the young man recalled everything.

"This is the Cultivation Holy Land I joined a hundred thousand years ago, the Tai Xuan Holy Land."

It turned out that the young man was actually someone who had been Reborn from a hundred thousand years in the future into the present.

His name was Ye Chen.

He was originally a good-for-nothing from the Ye Family. Relying on a Tai Xuan Token passed down from his ancestors, he entered the Tai Xuan Holy Land and became a Holy Land Disciple.

However, his Aptitude was mediocre. He entered the Tai Xuan Holy Land at seven years old, and eight years later, at fifteen, he was only in the Foundation Establishment - Early Stage.

He considered himself extraordinary and felt it necessary to display his talent in the Outer Sect Grand Competition, entering the Inner Sect with his Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

However, things did not go as planned. In his previous life, he was defeated by a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Outer Sect Disciple in one move, and from then on, he was disheartened.

Fortunately, he obtained the Heaven-Defying Legacy of the Primordial Dragon Soul, which allowed him to rise against the odds, advance rapidly, and after a hundred thousand years, he dominated the Immortal Realm, eventually becoming the Primordial Dragon King.

Unexpectedly, in a Secret Realm, he was besieged by ten Immortal Emperors and died with regret.

"Ten Immortal Emperors, just you wait. I, Ye Chen, am back!"

"All the harm you inflicted on me will be returned twofold!"

"In this life, I will personally avenge my enemies."

"In this life, I will ascend to an unparalleled realm and reign supreme for all eternity!"

"In this life, anyone who obstructs or bullies me will be killed without mercy."

He shouted loudly, his hatred soaring to the heavens.

However, the next moment, his face was filled with tenderness.

"Qingxue, in this life, I will definitely rescue you from the clutches of that Taixuan Holy Son."

"You will no longer suffer any harm. I, Ye Chen, swear to the heavens!"

The thought of Qingxue serving the Taixuan Holy Son in his previous life made his heart ache as if torn by knives.

In his previous life, he was powerless, able only to hide under the bed and listen silently, tears streaming down his face, his nails digging fiercely into his palms, his very essence feeling as if it would shatter.

Although Qingxue endlessly moaned, seemingly filled with boundless joy, he knew this was just Qingxue's act, to prevent him from worrying.

He never expected that in such a desperate moment, Qingxue would still think of him in this way. She truly made him want to cry to death; even if she was no longer a virgin, he wouldn't despise her.

Qingxue, wait for me!

The scene shifts.

The Disciple facing Ye Chen in the arena looked bewildered.

This person started babbling as soon as he got on stage. Is something wrong with his head?

"Senior Brother, I suspect his mental state is problematic." The Disciple on the stage said to the Golden Core Disciple acting as referee beside him.

That Golden Core Disciple was responsible for this arena, judging the outcome.

The Golden Core referee said to Ye Chen in an exasperated tone:

"Are you going to fight or not? If not, get down. You've been rambling on for no reason, wasting everyone's time. There are still hundreds of Disciples who need to compete after this!"

"Don't waste everyone's time."

Why the hell did he get stuck with an idiot?

Ye Chen's face had just been full of tenderness, but upon hearing this cold shout, it immediately changed to a cold gaze.

He, the majestic Dragon King Immortal Emperor, who had ascended to the eternal realm and shaken the Immortal Realm, dominating the four seas, before whom even immortal powers and ancient imperial clans had to speak respectfully.

He couldn't remember how many tens of thousands of years it had been since he had been reprimanded like this.

Suddenly being reprimanded like this, a surge of viciousness actually rose in his heart.

"A mere Golden Core, how dare you speak disrespectfully to this Venerable One? Do you wish to die?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was astonished.

The Foundation Establishment Disciple fighting him was completely dumbfounded. What kind of opponent did I get? Is he mentally retarded?

That Golden Core Disciple was an Inner Sect Disciple assigned to preside over the Grand Competition. This person was acting crazy on stage and even dared to speak disrespectfully to the presiding referee.

The Golden Core Disciple's temper immediately flared up.

"Disrespecting the referee, disrupting the order of the Grand Competition, you are disqualified!" The Golden Core Disciple didn't indulge him and directly disqualified him, ruling the opponent as the winner.

Ye Chen sneered, "Good, very good. Is this what a Holy Land Disciple is like? How awe-inspiring!"

"You are overbearing and unreasonable, opening your mouth to disqualify me. The Holy Land will fall sooner or later with people like you. Fine, today I will clean out the Holy Land's parasites and knock every single one of you down."

The Golden Core Disciple's scalp tingled with embarrassment. He had wanted to get angry just now, but now he felt he had been a bit impulsive.

This person is mentally retarded; there's no need to get angry at such people. He probably hasn't even fully developed his cerebellum.

But before he could speak, Ye Chen raised his hand.

A profound palm wind, mixed with spiritual Qi, transformed into a powerful fist. A white fist shadow flew out, a fist three zhang in size, heading directly for his face.

This was a fist technique he learned from the Heavenly Primordial Immortal Maiden Sect: 'Setting aside the facts!'
