A few days later, at the Holy Land of Taichu in the Central Universe.
Xia Ping took the Stars and quickly returned to the Holy Land of Taichu, where he originally lived in Green Jade City.
However, as soon as he returned to Green Jade City, he sensed that the entire city seemed to be filled with a lively atmosphere. Many outer disciples seemed to be extremely excited.
"Brother Xia, you're finally back. I thought you weren't going to participate in the Grand Tournament of Sacred Lands?"
At this moment, someone saw Xia Ping and walked towards him. It was Wei Liangsheng from the Lingyun Sect.
Beside him were Yin Xiheng, Kong Cheng, and the rest who had entered the Holy Land of Taichu at the same time.
"Grand Tournament of Sacred Lands? What's that? "
Xia Ping asked curiously.
"Brother Xia, don't you know?"
Wei Liangsheng said in surprise, "Tomorrow will be the Grand Tournament of Sacred Lands jointly organized by the Holy Land of Taichu and the Palace of Darkness. It's held once every ten years, and both outer and inner disciples can choose to participate.
If anyone can get a good ranking, they will immediately receive a huge reward from the Holy Land. They might even be recognized by a powerful Saint and be accepted as a disciple. This is a grand event that happens once every ten years in the Holy Land of the human race. "
"Grand Tournament of Sacred Lands? How are they going to compete? Is it going to be a one-on-one battle? "
Xia Ping was not interested in this. If he was still in the Thunder Tribulation State, he might be interested. However, he had already become an Immortal Sage and was an extraordinary existence.
If he were to participate in such a grand tournament, he would be bullying others.
"That's not the case."
Wei Liangsheng shook his head and explained, "The Grand Tournament of Sacred Lands this time is about challenging the Demon Subduing Pagoda. There are a total of 100 levels in the Demon Subduing Pagoda, where a large number of ferocious demons, Primordial Remnants, Heavenly Demons, and Abyssal Demons are imprisoned. They are imprisoned in different spaces according to their strength.
It can be said that the higher the level of the space in the Demon Subduing Pagoda, the more powerful the demons imprisoned. It's said that the Invincible Sage is imprisoned at the highest level of the Demon Subduing Pagoda.
Our mission is to challenge the Demon Subduing Pagoda. The higher the level, the more demons and ghosts we kill, the more points we'll obtain. Then, we'll determine who will be the champion of the Grand Tournament of Sacred Lands according to our ranking.
However, in terms of strength, even a pinnacle Lightning Tribulation realm powerhouse would be quite impressive if they could make it to the ninth floor of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. To make it to the tenth floor, one would need to be at least at the Sempiternal realm. "
He indicated that the main purpose of the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands was to challenge the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.
This was actually beneficial to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda as well. The flesh, blood, essence, and souls of all the demons and ghosts that died in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda would be absorbed by the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, becoming a part of its power.
Periodically clearing out a batch of demons was also a way to free up space for the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
Moreover, these monsters were extremely ferocious and evil. They could also be regarded as well-known experts in the universe. With their strength, they could also test the strength of the disciples of the Human Race's Holy Land to the greatest extent.
There was no need to worry about the safety of these disciples. If there was any danger, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda would teleport them out in time.
Hence, the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands this time around had attracted the attention of countless disciples from the Saint Lands. There was no danger to their lives, and if they were to succeed, they could even obtain a huge reward. Which disciple from the Saint Lands would not be tempted?
"I haven't been able to contact you previously. I thought you weren't planning to participate in the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands. I didn't expect you to come back the day before the Grand Tournament. What a coincidence."
Wei Liangsheng laughed, "If we can make a name for ourselves in the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands, we will definitely be valued by the higher-ups of the Human Race. From there, we will be able to obtain endless resources and soar to the sky."
He expressed that if they were to be ranked in the top 100 in the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands, it would be a matter of time before they could advance to the Sempiternal Realm.
After all, they were already considered as geniuses who were able to enter the Holy Land of Taichu or the Palace of Darkness. If they were to be ranked in the top 100 among these geniuses, it would be incredible.
"That's right. The Grand Tournament of Saint Lands this time around is the time for us to make a name for ourselves. If we can defeat some of the inner disciples, we can even immediately get rid of our outer disciple status and become inner disciples. Our treatment will be greatly improved."
"This is a huge opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, we won't get another one."
"We must make a name for ourselves in this Grand Tournament. If we are able to gain the recognition of the Patriarchs of the Human Race, we might even be accepted as their disciples. By then, we will be rich. It will be like reaching the sky in a single bound."
Yin Xiheng, Kong Cheng and the rest clenched their fists tightly. Their eyes were filled with enthusiasm and confidence. To them, fame meant benefits. It meant that they would be valued by the higher-ups of the Human Race and would be able to obtain endless resources.
In the Sacred Lands of the Human Race, there was no such thing as hiding one's strength and biding one's time. If one had the strength and talent, one should display it. Otherwise, if one fell behind, one would always fall behind.
Moreover, there was no need to worry about others being jealous of one's talent. This was the highest palace of the Human Race, the place where countless Sages resided. They had lived for countless years and had seen all kinds of demon-like talents and geniuses.
In reality, the Patriarchs of the Human Race were some of the most demon-like talents.
Hearing this, Xia Ping was speechless. He was already an Immortal Sage and had an eternal lifespan. How could he compete with these juniors and make a name for himself? There was no need for him to do such a thing.
It was like a billionaire participating in an entrepreneur competition. Wasn't that a joke? That was the end of their dreams. Now, it was just the beginning of their dreams.
Just as he was about to say something, a group of people suddenly came from afar. They were all inner sect disciples from the Holy Land of Taichu.
Xia Ping glanced at them and had a strange look on his face. These inner sect disciples had been bullied by him before. They had even been extorted of a large number of points, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
When Yin Xiheng, Kong Cheng and the rest saw these people, they immediately became serious and greeted them respectfully.
This was because these people were all inner sect disciples of the Holy Land of Taichu. They had joined the Holy Land of Taichu much earlier than them. All of them had reached the peak of the Thunder Calamity Realm and were extremely powerful.
In the outside world, they were the mighty existences of the Human Race. They were second only to the Sages and were powerful enough to suppress an entire region.
"Hmph, Xia Ping, you've finally appeared. I've been waiting for you in Green Jade City for so long. I thought you didn't dare to participate in the Grand Tournament of Sacred Lands and wanted to run away with your tail between your legs."
These Inner Court Disciples arrived by Xia Ping's side in unison, and all of them glared fiercely at Xia Ping while gnashing their teeth. Obviously, they hated Xia Ping's actions from before to the extreme, and their resentment was extremely deep and they wished for nothing more than to immediately take revenge.
