Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao - Chapter 3813:
Chapter 3813: Gathering of prodigies and beauties
No matter how pretentious Ling Han was, it was a fact that he had defeated Lu Jianyun.
Thus, when Ling Han put away the tournament stage and was about to return, a great many people immediately gathered around him, wanting to befriend him.
Ling Han didn’t deliberately offend anyone. He said some pleasantries, but didn’t say anything substantial.
Just as Ling Han was about to return, he was stopped by an elder.
“This old man is from the Nine Suns Holy Land. Does young friend have time?” the old man asked.
Hadn’t Ling Han set up this martial arts ring to attract people from the Nine Suns Holy Land? He smiled, “Yes.”
“Hehe, then let’s chat as we walk,” the old man said with a smile.
The two of them walked forwards, but though the old man said that he wanted to chat, he did not speak the whole time.
Ling Han wasn’t in a hurry either. He simply acted as if the person beside him didn’t exist.
After a long while, the old man finally spoke, and asked, “Young friend, why have you set up such a tournament stage?”
Ling Han told the truth, “I have not fulfilled the registration conditions of the Holy Land, so I can only come up with this last resort. I hope that the Holy Land can open a back door and allow me to register.”
“Yi?” This answer was something that the old man had not expected. He looked at Ling Han, his expression filled with surprise. ‘You are already capable of sending Lu Jianyun flying with a single punch, and your Galaxy Network’s ranking is at least in the top 9000, and you still have not met the conditions?’
Ling Han smiled and said, “Because of some personal reasons, I didn’t participate in the ranking battles.”
So that was how i was.
The old man believed him, because there were indeed some great clans that did not allow their descendants to participate in the ranking battles. Some did so because they wanted to keep a low profile, while some wanted to amaze the world with a single feat. Though there were not many, there were indeed such cases.
“So that’s how it is.” The old man also smiled, “All right, this old man understands. In view of your situation, the Holy Land will indeed have special circumstances to deal with you. Where do you live? In a few days, this old man will apply for a permit to enter, and I will deliver it to you.”
“Then thank you very much.”
The old man left, and Ling Han returned to the inn. He had already achieved his goal, so there was naturally no need for him to set up another tournament stage.
However, when he stopped setting up the martial arts ring, it caused a heated discussion on the Galaxy Network.
Most people thought that Ling Han had cowered. Now that Lu Jianyun had lost, there would definitely be even stronger prodigies ranked in the top 9000 and top 8000 that would appear to challenge him, and Ling Han knew that he was outmatched, so he took the initiative to close up.
“What a sore loser.”
“What Cauldron Forging Tier elite? What a joke.”
“Coward.”
The Galaxy Network was filled with curses, which made the empress, Hu Niu, and Princess Bixiao extremely furious.
Yet Ling Han was unconcerned, and waited for the day of the test to arrive.
Only by satisfying one of the three conditions of the Nine Suns Holy Land, would one be qualified to register. Whether one could become an official disciple or not would still have to go through a formal selection process.
A few days later, the old man delivered the entry plaque to Ling Han, so that Ling Han would drip blood in front of him, completing the soul bond. Otherwise, merely the entry plaque could completely be gifted to another.
When the empress, Hu Niu, and the large black dog went to register, they also received a permit to enter after their certifications were approved. Dripping blood on the plaque, the entry permit was completed.
There was only a month left, and the first opening of the Nine Suns Holy Land to recruit disciples would be held. If they missed it, they would have to wait until next year, and there would only be ten such chances. Ten years later, the Nine Suns Holy Land would close its doors again, and who knew when it would open again.
Ling Han cultivated diligently every day. After switching to cultivating the Ancient Sun Divine Scroll, his advancement speed increased slightly.
A month passed, and he had already completely cultivated the third leg of the Heaven Cauldron.
The Heaven Cauldron was the limit of the ordinary Cauldron Forging Tier. However, Ling Han naturally wouldn’t be satisfied with the Heaven Cauldron. He wanted to cultivate to the limit of Nine Cauldrons.
However, from Heaven Cauldron to Four Cauldrons, this step was difficult to take. Even Ling Han couldn’t break through just like that. Instead, he needed a certain amount of time to accumulate enough power.
After all, he had become a Heaven Cauldron the moment he broke through. This process was too fast. Even if he didn’t break through to Four Cauldrons, he still needed to stabilize his cultivation level.
At this time, the Nine Suns Holy Land officially began recruiting disciples.
It could be said that aside from places that were really too remote, the majority of the prodigies in the galaxy had all come. In fact, there was no shortage of descendants of Ancestral Kings and heirs of Great Emperors.
For celestial techniques like Saint-level and Great Emperor-level, no matter how much one learns, it would not be too much. That was unless one himself had reached Saint-level. By then, he would really begin to walk his own path, and attempt to become the Ancestral King that only one person in ten million years could reach.
Thus, exclamations of shock would occasionally erupt from the crowd. Who and who had come, a certain person had come, that person had arrived.
“Imperial Clan, Lin Qi. Though he is not the strongest successor, he is ranked 207th in the Galaxy Network. This is practically enough to scare anyone to death.”
“Look at his hair. It’s actually burning with energy flames. This is too terrifying.”
“This kind of person can insta-kill Heaven Cauldron with a single move, right?”
“That is necessary. It is said that Lin Qi has formed seven cauldrons. Who among the prodigies of this generation would be able to surpass him?”
“Seven! Cauldrons!”
“And over there, the Dao Child of the Eight Treasures Holy Land, Gan Ping, and ranked 188th
on the Galaxy Network.”
“Though he is not a descendant of a Great Emperor, and does not have the strongest bloodline, it is said that he is a Saint Physique!”
“Jie Yingqiu, the Holy Daughter of the Flower Rain Sect. Though she is only ranked in the 2000s, she is still one of the 100 great beauties of the universe. She is indeed breathtakingly
beautiful!”
“Tan Meng, the princess of the Golden Silk Moth Holy Land, and also a seductive beauty on the beauty roll.”
“Jiang Yifei, Holy Daughter of the Great Forest Sect, ranked seventy-second on the Beauty Leaderboard.”
“How beautiful. If I could marry such a beautiful wife, I would have no regrets in this life.”
“Heh, you’re overthinking things. Which of the top 100 beauties in the galaxy isn’t proud and arrogant? Even if they want to marry someone, they’ll have to marry someone who’s ranked in the top 100 in terms of abilities.”
In this place, elites with powerful abilities were certainly sought after, and exquisite beauties
were also attractive.
Hu Niu was instantly defiant, and said, “Niu is much better looking than them.”
Ling Han laughed loudly, wrapped his arms around her, and said, “Of course.” “Pfft.” The person beside him immediately laughed. He was really shameless. He actually
said that she was even more beautiful than Jie Yingqiu and Tan Meng. Where had his confidence come from?
Ling Han glared at him, and his aura spread out slightly. That person’s face immediately paled, and he could not make another sound.
This was only the first year of disciple recruitment. It was possible that some prodigies were too far away and hadn’t arrived yet. Some might be at a critical stage of their cultivation, while others might have been adventuring in an ancient site and hadn’t gotten the news. In short, among the people who had come now, there were about two thousand in the top ten thousand in the Cauldron Forging Tier of the Galaxy Network, and the majority ranged from one thousand to ten thousand. There were relatively few in the top few hundred.
The highest ranked person was Gan Ping, ranked 188th.
Meanwhile, eleven beauties from the Universal Exquisite Leaderboard had arrived. Tan Meng
was ranked fifty-third, and the most powerful beauty was Jie Yingqiu, ranked more than 2000th on the individual strength leaderboard.
In fact, there were also those who possessed both beauty and strength. For example, those in
the top ten of the Exquisite Leaderboard were all super geniuses ranked in the top 100 of
Galaxy Network.
“Cough, then the selections have officially begun.”
