592: Happy Ling Tian!

Lingxi's voice trembled slightly:

"And the one next to him, he's also Undergoing Tribulation! Oh my heavens, that young man who looks to be only in his twenties is actually at the Undergoing Tribulation Realm?!"

She was completely astonished.

In their Yaochi Holy Land, a Void Refining Realm Disciple in his twenties was already an absolute core Personal Disciple, a Genius rarely seen in a hundred years!

Those at the Undergoing Tribulation Realm were basically all over a thousand years old; how could there be someone so young?!

Just like Liu Yue, as the Personal Disciple of the Second Elder, her talent was already the number one among the current generation in Yaochi Holy Land, yet she had only reached the Mahayana Realm at the age of twenty.

But here, Undergoing Tribulation and Mahayana cultivators were like common cabbages, fighting on the arena, just to compete for a ranking in some "Prefecture Examination"?

This... what kind of immortal Sect is this?!

Compared to this place, Yaochi Holy Land was simply an unranked Sect, and what's more, this Qingxuan Sect even had the existence of a Saint like Lu Hao!

Mu Siyuan also had a solemn expression; he perceived even more.

"Revered Master, why is the Spiritual Qi concentration in this Northern Barren Province now far superior to Thousand Stars State! I remember this place was supposed to be barren!"

"Moreover... the Law of the Dao here is exceptionally clear; comprehending it yields twice the results with half the effort! If I can Cultivate here, my Cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

He said excitedly:

"Could it be... could it be that the legendary Origin Heart is hidden here? Revered Master, you have already successfully condensed the Origin Heart and placed it in the Northern Barren Province?!"

Lu Hao said with a chuckle:

"As expected of my eldest Disciple, he's just smarter. You guessed correctly, but unfortunately, there's no prize."

"The Origin Heart being in the Northern Barren Province is equivalent to using most of the resources of the entire Eastern Domain to nourish this small Northern Barren Province. It's no wonder the Dao here is exceptionally active. If this continues, the Cultivation of Qingxuan Sect's Disciples will surely experience a qualitative leap."

"I hope so. The higher their Cultivation, the better. It won't be in vain for all the effort I've put in for them."

Lu Hao said indifferently.

Those below had no inkling whatsoever and continued with their competition.

Lu Hao did not want to disturb the people below; he just let them Cultivate steadily and enjoy the joy of Cultivation. He knew that with his prestige in Qingxuan Sect, once he appeared, this Prefecture Examination would definitely not be able to proceed.

The Prefecture Examination was in full swing.

However, what was interesting was that ever since Lu Hao's generation, when Qing Xuan Prefecture emerged triumphantly and took first place with an overwhelming posture, the seat of "first place" had never fallen to anyone else.

The Disciples of Qing Xuan Prefecture received a tilt of Lu Hao's resources, so their Cultivation progress was the fastest. One step fast, every step fast!

Gradually, the Disciples of Qing Xuan Prefecture had begun to disdain participating in such "bullying the weak" competitions.

Within the current Qing Xuan Prefecture, there was even a saying circulating:

"If you don't Cultivate harder, you'll be sent by Master to participate in the Prefecture Examination!"

Participating in the Prefecture Examination had actually become a form of indirect punishment, meaning that you were among the last in Qing Xuan Prefecture!

"System, please help me organize some of my useless Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, and so on. The standard is: useless to me now, but still very useful for Qingxuan Sect."

【Received! Filtering for you... Filtering complete! Host, you have too many Magic Treasures. Taking them all out might not be ideal.】

"Then take out one-fifth of them; that should be enough for them to use."

【Okay, Host, organizing now, organization complete!】

...At this moment, on the viewing platform above the martial arts arena, eight seats were occupied by the seven Prefecture Lords and the Sect Master Bai Daoren.

In the main seat, sat a middle-aged Daoren with a clear complexion and an immortal demeanor. Those around him clearly showed him great respect. This person was Lu Hao's Master, and currently the Prefecture Lord of Qing Xuan Prefecture, Lingyun.

"Alas, this year's Prefecture Examination is again dominated by Qing Xuan Prefecture alone."

Lu Hongzhe, the Prefecture Lord of Jin Guang Prefecture, said sourly:

"Senior Brother Lingyun, I propose that for the next Prefecture Examination, your Qing Xuan Prefecture should not participate. This is impossible to play!"

"Hehehe, how can that be? This is a tradition of Qingxuan Sect. How can a tradition be discarded?"

Lingyun stroked his beard and smiled, but the smugness on his face was impossible to hide.

"Don't be sad. Perhaps someday, some Geniuses or Prodigies will emerge among your Disciples. At that time, my Qing Xuan Prefecture might not necessarily be able to defeat you."

Medicine Red Dust, the Prefecture Lord of Medicine Mansion, also said softly:

"Senior Brother Ling, your words are too modest. If I remember correctly, the strongest Disciple in your Qing Xuan Prefecture should have already broken through to the Nascent Void Cultivation, right? This has already far surpassed us! No matter how talented, it's impossible to catch up, isn't it?"

Lingyun chuckled, feeling very happy in his heart:

"I don't care about that. In any case, the Old Ancestor's rules cannot be abolished, and besides, our Qing Xuan Prefecture hasn't sent those people to fight against you."

Sect Master Bai Daoren also laughed:

"Qing Xuan Prefecture is now full of talents. After that person broke through to the Yuán Xū Realm, several Disciples' Cultivation have reached Undergoing Tribulation Perfection, just one step away from entering the Yuán Xū Realm. This is all due to your excellent guidance, Junior Brother Lingyun."

"Not at all, not at all."

Lingyun humbly waved his hand, then changed the subject, a look of immense pride appearing on his face:

"However, what I'm most proud of in my life is taking Hao'er as my Disciple."

At the mention of Lu Hao, everyone present was invigorated, their faces showing awe and longing.

Of course, everyone silently complained in their hearts: 'Alright, alright, we all know you're an angel investor... you always have to bring up your precious Disciple...'

"You're right! Senior Brother Lingyun, the most correct investment you made in your life was taking Lu Hao as a Disciple!"

"Who would have thought that our small Qingxuan Sect could produce such a powerful existence! This is all thanks to Senior Brother Lingyun!"

"Senior Brother Lingyun, how did you see that Lu Hao was a Dragon in the abyss back then? Share your experience with us, please?"

"Yes, yes, if I remember correctly, for the first five years after you took him as a Disciple, he had no Cultivation at all. How did you know he would become so powerful in the future?!"

Lingyun clicked his tongue, saying admiringly:

"To be honest, I didn't know either. Back then, I just followed my heart. When I took him as a Disciple, I really didn't think he would achieve anything. What I thought at the time was, even if he couldn't Cultivate, as long as I was there, I could protect him."

Upon hearing this, everyone spoke at once, full of flattery and praise.

Lingyun was overjoyed by what he heard. Nowadays, he no longer had strong pursuits for many things, but every time he talked about Lu Hao, he would be especially happy.
