"It's a pity that he rejected a seventh-rank sect and chose the third-rank sect, the Zhaixing Sect … As for the other four, Tantai Lian is ranked ninth. She received the Phoenix's inheritance with Chen Hao, which is also very good … It's a pity that Tantai Lian followed Chen Hao and chose the Zhaixing Sect. Yang Fan is ranked sixty-eighth. Ni Jianping and Li Yifeng are also ranked in the top two hundred. They all chose the Zhaixing Sect … "
The old man continued to speak about everyone's situation in one breath, causing Xuan Cangfeng, Mu Qing, Zhao Xingchen, and the important people of the Dasheng Kingdom to be dumbfounded.
The Phoenix's inheritance, shocking rankings, strange choices …
Every single one of them was like a huge hammer knocking on everyone's heads.
… …
"However, you don't have to worry too much. The rank of a sect isn't very important. Since they chose the Zhaixing Sect, they naturally have their reasons. A true genius will shine in any sect … This Chen Hao is a rare genius on the Hundred Empire Ranking. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely bring great glory to the Xuanwu Kingdom … "
"Many thanks, Spiritual Master Hou," Xuan Cangfeng and the others said respectfully.
… …
Within a day, the news of Chen Hao being the runner-up of the Hundred Empire Ranking, fighting to a draw with the champion, and receiving the Phoenix's inheritance was sent back to the Zhenyuan Kingdom by Zhao Xingchen at the fastest speed.
The Dasheng Kingdom that Tantai Lian belonged to was no exception.
The Xuanwu Kingdom and the other two kingdoms were in a state of celebration and rewards. Especially the Xiao Family that Chen Hao belonged to. Not only did they receive the full support of the Zhenyuan Kingdom, they were also personally rewarded by the Emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom, Xuan Cangfeng.
… …
"The Phoenix's inheritance …"
In the Royal New Show Hall of the Zhenyuan Kingdom, a graceful figure stood in a separate courtyard and stared at the night sky as she murmured.
The cold moonlight poured down on her body, causing her beautiful face to become as cold as the moon. However … …
At this moment, the girl bit her lips and frowned. Her delicate body trembled.
Almost ten months.
Only ten months.
However, he had already become a Martial Sage and had obtained the Phoenix's inheritance together with that woman called Tantai Lian. What about himself?
Helian Wuzi, who had madly cultivated for ten months, could no longer remain calm after receiving Chen Hao's news. He didn't blame Chen Hao. He only blamed himself for being too slow …
Even though she had become the head disciple of the Royal New Show Hall, even though she was a rank nine Martial Emperor …
There was still nearly a year before the Rookie Rankings would begin. How much could she improve?
Unknowingly, a faint sense of bewilderment appeared in her heart, and it began to become chaotic. She bit her lips until they bled, but she didn't feel it at all …
After an unknown amount of time, Helian Wuzi's pair of eyes gradually became ice-cold and persistent. With a clang, she took out the Moonlight Sword and violently released one terrifying attack after another.
Rumble!
The terrifying sword light directly destroyed countless trees and pavilions in the small courtyard. After a terrifying chasm appeared on the ground, Helian Wuzi soared into the air and left the Royal New Show Hall in the blink of an eye.
So what if it was the Phoenix Inheritance? That was opportunity, that was luck, that was the choice of the heavens. As long as it wasn't his …
The world of cultivation!
In next year's New Talent Competition, the Hundred Empire Ranking, she would definitely enter the world of cultivation. Furthermore, she would enter the world of cultivation with results that were not inferior to his!
… …
"Phoenix Inheritance …"
In the world of cultivation, celestial mists curled up. In a palace that resembled a paradise, a figure stood within the clouds.
Her eyebrows were long and dark. Her gaze was clear and her figure was graceful. She was like a fairy from a painting. Especially those eyes. They were as clear as a lake. As her gaze moved, it sparkled and there were layers upon layers of ripples …
"Star-Picking Sect … he … he's not participating in the Dragon Transformation Rankings?"
The young girl muttered. Even though she had been grounded after sneaking out of the sect and had not left the mountain even now, she had been paying attention to the news regarding the Hundred Empire Ranking and had her maids inquire about it.
After receiving the news that Chen Hao had obtained second place on the Hundred Empire Ranking and had tied with the champion, she was naturally happy for Chen Hao. However, the Phoenix Inheritance made her frown. Although she was naive, she understood the Phoenix Inheritance. Although she did not know what her relationship with Chen Hao was, she still felt that Chen Hao had such an intimate relationship with another woman. Ultimately, she felt that someone had stolen something from her …
Furthermore, Chen Hao had given up on the Dragon Transformation Rankings and chosen the Star-Picking Sect, which was only a third-grade sect. This made her feel even more wronged.
… …
Star-Picking Sect.
Chen Hao and the other new disciples were divided into ten groups and brought to the ten mountain peaks where the outer sect disciples resided and cultivated.
Chen Hao, Tantai Lian, Yang Fan, Ni Jianping, and Li Yifeng were naturally in one group. Furthermore, it was the main peak where the Star-Picking Sect's outer sect disciples focused on nurturing.
"Chen Hao, you and Tantai Lian will be in the same courtyard. Is that okay?"
Elder Wu and Dongfang Ting asked after personally bringing Chen Hao and the other four to the main peak of the outer sect.
"No."
Chen Hao and Tantai Lian said in unison.
"Although we both received the inheritance of the Phoenix at the same time, this inheritance is not what you think it is. It seems to have mutated. Little Lian and I are only friends … "Chen Hao explained after frowning slightly.
If he did not explain now, it seemed that the two of them would have to live together. How could Chen Hao accept this?
Of course, Tantai Lian could not accept it either …
"Oh? There's such a thing? That means … the two of you … haven't … Very well, if that's the case, once the two of you start dual cultivation, your improvement will be even more shocking. No wonder you could execute the Phoenix's Nirvana on your own … "Elder Wu said with a hint of excitement.
It was not uncommon for divine beasts to mutate after receiving inheritances. Furthermore, once a divine beast mutated, it meant that its abilities would become even more terrifying.
Seeing the awkward expressions on Chen Hao and Tantai Lian's faces, Elder Wu did not continue speaking. He directly arranged individual courtyards for the five of them.
"The five of you can rest first. The five of you, especially Chen Hao and Tantai Lian, will definitely receive special rewards from the sect. Now, you will be treated as the focus of the outer sect disciples' training. Everything, including the sect's introduction and regulations, has been placed in your rooms. Familiarize yourselves with the Zhaixing Sect … "
"If you need anything, you can find me at my mountain peak!" Dongfang Ting said to Chen Hao and the rest as she bid them farewell.
…
The so-called courtyards were actually huge palaces. Each of them occupied one.
After Chen Hao stepped into the palace, he saw his sect's items in the hall.
There were two sets of white Daoist robes and a treasured sword that exuded an ancient aura. The Daoist robes were inlaid with thin golden threads. There was a seal on the chest that represented the Zhaixing Sect's disciple insignia. Just by feeling, Chen Hao knew that the Daoist robes were not ordinary clothes. They were Daoist robes that contained countless runes and magical uses. The treasured sword was ordinary, but it was still an inferior-grade spirit weapon. It should be something that every disciple in the sect had.
Apart from the Daoist robes and the treasured sword, there were also a few books made of unknown materials. There were detailed introductions to the sect, basic techniques for the Zhaixing Sect below the Connate stage, and sect regulations.
"The Zhaixing Daoist Robe is made of hundreds of types of spirit silk. It contains thirty-six types of runes. It dispels all poisons, dispels miasma, is impervious to fire and water, and is invulnerable to ordinary weapons." Chen Hao picked up the manual beside the Daoist robes and read softly, "The world of cultivation is indeed extraordinary … Just this Daoist robe alone is a priceless treasure in the secular world …"
Chen Hao took out the treasured sword and examined it. It was indeed an inferior-grade spirit weapon that was of no use to him. However, it was a must-have weapon for Zhaixing Sect disciples. He casually put it away in the Xuanhuang Bracelet.
Chen Hao quickly looked through all the items and picked up a thick book.
This was the first book that all disciples who had entered the world of cultivation had to read: The Essentials of the Eastern Continent.
Flipping through the catalog, there were hundreds of pages and thousands of catalogs. This caused Chen Hao's mind to be greatly moved, and his eyes shone with an excited light.
"The Boundless Continent is vast and boundless. It was impossible for this book to cover all the details. It's a must-read for disciples who have just entered the world of cultivation. It's a compilation of generations of experts from the Zhaixing Sect. It's a must-have in the world of cultivation. "
When Chen Hao read the opening paragraph, he knew that this was a basic lesson that disciples of the Zhaixing Sect had to familiarize themselves with after entering the world of cultivation. It was also a guidebook for the world of cultivation.
Among the tens of thousands of sects, there were righteous and evil. The righteous path was called the Immortal Path, while the evil path was called the Demon Path. Apart from the Immortal Path and the Demon Path, there were also the Demon Path. The introductions to these sects and factions were extremely detailed, including their ultimate techniques, powerful treasures, top experts, genius disciples, branch locations, and so on. There were also introductions to many powerful itinerant cultivators and demons. Apart from that, there was also information on the super dynasties of the entire Eastern Continent's cultivation world, merchant guilds, perilous lands, legendary paradises, mysterious realms, precious mines, spirit herbs, and so on. There was nothing that was lacking.
It took an entire day for Chen Hao to completely imprint the thick book of information into his mind.
"Whew … What an exciting world. Strange and variegated … So this is it?" Chen Hao muttered to himself. As he spoke, he picked up the other secret manuals and walked to the cultivation room.
In the cultivation room, there was a huge round mattress formed by a Frost Jade Ice Bed. It was surrounded by formations and runes, causing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to be extremely dense.
"As a disciple of the Star-Picking Sect, I naturally have to cultivate the Star-Picking Sect's martial arts …" Chen Hao's figure flashed and he sat cross-legged on the cold jade ice bed. Wisps of cool air immediately entered his body from the ice bed and cleared his mind.
There were a total of four secret manuals. The ultimate technique "Condensing Essence Technique", the ultimate technique "Star Shaking Fist", the "Soaring Cloud Steps", and the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique".
"Star Shaking Fist … This should be the complete Star Shaking Fist, right?" Chen Hao said with a smile as he picked up the Star Shaking Fist manual written in immortal characters. Obviously, the incomplete version of the Star Shaking Fist in the Royal New Show Hall of the Zhenyuan Kingdom must have come from Dongfang Ting and been sent back to the Zhenyuan Kingdom.
These were all Xiantian martial arts techniques that surpassed the level of the Zhaixing Sect. Although they were only the basic martial arts of the Zhaixing Sect, Chen Hao was still looking forward to learning them. After all, although his ultimate martial arts techniques were powerful, they still required the support of this world's energy techniques in order to unleash their full power. Before he entered the Golden Elixir stage, he needed these martial arts techniques very much …
Soon, Chen Hao had grasped the Star Shaking Fist and began to study and cultivate it.
