In the General's Residence of Dawei City.
"General, the latest news is that such a phenomenon has been discovered in the City Governor's Residence."
A powerhouse entered the main hall and bowed. He then took out a jade slip from his sleeve.
He crushed the jade slip, and a strange light appeared.
Meanwhile, it was the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon that Ye Chen had triggered earlier in the light.
"What's going on? The City Governor's Residence managed to invite such a powerhouse?"
A tall man in armor stood in front of him. He was the General of Dawei City's Imperial City, He Ding.
"General, the Demon Slayer Contest is being supervised by the Imperial City's envoy. There can't be any mistakes. I wonder if these foreign guests will cause any problems?"
"Hmph, have you found out about these people?"
"There are three people in the City Governor's Residence. Our informants have reported that they ascended from the Soul Stage. Their cultivation bases aren't high, but one of them is called Ye Chen. His strength is shocking."
"Shocking strength? Hahaha, I'd like to see how powerful he is. Soul Stage cultivators who want to ascend have to pass the Ascension Tribulation. Even so, I don't care. "
"But these three people aren't at the Ascension Tribulation."
"Not at the Ascension Tribulation?"
He Ding squinted his eyes and continued.
"Then they must have come from a special passage. There's no need to worry."
He smirked. As long as they were not Ascension Tribulation Almighties, what did He Ding have to fear?
"Go and supervise the training of the powerhouses in the General's Residence. Tell them to work harder, and they'll be rewarded handsomely. However, if anyone slacks and doesn't meet the standards, kick them out immediately."
"Yes, General!"
The man nodded and left.
He Ding felt uneasy when he recalled the phenomenon he had seen.
"Who is this person? Such a phenomenon would only happen when a Body Integration powerhouse breaks through, but this person is only at the Void Refinement Stage. This is too strange."
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared in front of him. He Ding's heart skipped a beat.
"Welcome, Sir Envoy!"
He hurried forward and bowed.
"He Ding, how are the preparations for the Devil-Slayer Competition in Great Might City? You should know very well that the Devil World is getting restless. They've already broken through the limits of time and space, and are having a huge impact on the Spirit World. The Spirit Emperor is very concerned about the Devil-Slayer Competition."
"Lord Emissary, the arrangements for the Devil-Slaying Competition in Great Might City are going smoothly. I will do my best to complete the task assigned to me by Emperor Ling."
"It's good that you know your responsibility. Spirit Emperor can't wait any longer. He needs the strongest cultivators to have a real battle with the people of the Demon World."
"People from the Devil World really came to the Spiritual World?"
"You don't need to know so much. You're only responsible for selecting talents. Remember, don't be too concerned about a cultivator's background. What we need is strength!"
"Understood!"
He Ding bowed again and watched the envoy leave.
"Hmm …"
After the emissary left, He Ding furrowed his brows. It seemed like the emissary was still worried about him. In the end, the emissary warned him not to place too much importance on one's background. He was hinting that the people of the General's Mansion might not be able to meet the requirements of the Spirit Emperor.
"Since that's the case, I'd like to see who in Great Might City can organize a team that's stronger than my General's Mansion."
With that, He Ding sat down cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
He was already a Full Fusion cultivator and was waiting to ascend. Once he did so, he would have the right to enter the Imperial City and become an imperial guard. This was the dream of countless cultivators.
In the City Governor's Mansion, Ye Chen and the other two continued to cultivate. One by one, they broke through their limits and reached higher attainment levels.
Among them, Ye Chen was the one who improved the fastest. Although he had only advanced a minor level, the growth of his foundation was stronger than the average person who had advanced a major level.
One day, the City Governor personally came to visit.
"Fellow Ye!"
Bu Zhangqing walked forward and bowed to Ye Chen.
"Mmm!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly. This person had come to see their cultivation progress.
"Fellow Ye, has your cultivation been smooth recently?"
"Please provide us with sufficient cultivation resources, City Governor."
"Don't worry about that, Fellow Ye. Our City Governor's Mansion has never lacked cultivation resources."
As he spoke, Bu Zhangqing sized Ye Chen up and noticed that there was an invisible aura on Ye Chen's body that gave people great pressure.
Even as an early-Body Integration Stage cultivator, he was astonished by this burst of pressure.
"Fellow Ye, there's a requirement for the Devil-Slaying Tournament this time."
"Requirement?"
Ye Chen looked at Bu Zhangqing. He had not made this clear before.
Seeing that Ye Chen seemed displeased, Bu Zhangqing hurriedly said, "This requirement is for you, Fellow Ye."
"Oh?"
"In order to select the most talented people, there's an age requirement for the Devil-Slaying Tournament this time."
"What requirement?"
"Under fifty years old!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen smirked and did not respond.
"Fellow Ye, of the two people you've brought to the Devil-Slaying Tournament this time, the young man can participate, but let's forget about the old man."
"The three of us have come together. How can we let it go just because you say so?"
Ye Chen replied coldly, causing Bu Zhangqing's heart to tremble. That invisible pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Fellow Ye, I'm telling you this not because I want to stop that old man from participating in the battle, but because there's a formation in this competition that greatly restricts those who are over 50 years old. You should understand what I mean, right?"
"If he agrees, then there's no problem. Otherwise, forgive me for not being able to comply!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Ye."
With that, Bu Zhangqing took out many supreme-grade spirit stones and a brocade box.
"In this brocade box is a golden pill refined by a high-level alchemist in the City Governor's Mansion. One golden pill is equivalent to a hundred supreme-grade spirit stones. Therefore, Fellow Ye and your friend must slowly refine it. Don't swallow it directly."
"Alright!"
Ye Chen agreed coldly and took the brocade box.
"Then, I'll take my leave."
With that, Bu Zhangqing left.
Ye Chen reached out and touched the brocade box. Instantly, waves of powerful spiritual energy surged wildly as if it was going to break through the pill's limit and soar to the heavens.
"It's powerful indeed!"
A pill of such strength must require a high-level alchemist. It seemed like the City Governor's Mansion also had an expert.
"It's just that the technique is a little crude."
Following that, Ye Chen smirked and took out the golden pill.
"Immortal Drift Bottle!"
With the full moon in the sky, it was the best time to use the Immortal Drift Bottle.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The Immortal Drift Bottle flew into the air. Instantly, under the light of the full moon, the Immortal Drift Bottle emitted a rainbow light.
"Go!"
Ye Chen tossed the golden pill into the Immortal Drift Bottle.
With a flash of light, the golden pill appeared again in an instant.
"A golden pill without any impurities is a hundred times easier to absorb."
