Chapter 263: Saint-Level Material

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the past, everyone believed the Great Mystery Sacred Sect would need to wait until the Supreme Elder deduced his own cultivation methods before they could obtain their own saint-level cultivation methods or divine powers.

Yet no one expected this. With just a single trip out, Su Chen had brought back so many cultivation methods and divine powers. With Su Chen’s current wealth, he could readily establish his own holy land.

Presently, what Su Chen had gifted the two disciples were only black-level martial arts. To Su Chen, this was a mere drop in the bucket.

“Thank you very much, Holy Son!” Holding the martial arts, the two disciples bowed excitedly. For two Qi Gathering Realm cultivators like them, black-level martial arts were far too precious.

“No need to stand on courtesy.” Su Chen smiled and waved his hand.

His gaze then fell upon Elder Fan as he curiously asked, “Elder Fan, you didn’t come today just to tell me you’ve accepted two disciples, did you?”

“Hahaha…” Elder Fan laughed awkwardly. “Nothing can be hidden from the Holy Son! That’s right. I’ve come today for two matters. First, I want to ask the Holy Son for two spots to enter the Great Mystery Secret Land!”

The Great Mystery Secret Land was none other than the former ruins of the G.o.d Demon Sect. Now that the ruins were in the hands of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect, its name had naturally changed to the Great Mystery Secret Land.

Although most of the opportunities within had already been plundered, the extremely rich spiritual energy still remained. The Great Mystery Sacred Sect had set up several ma.s.sive Spirit Gathering Formations inside, directly elevating the density several levels higher.

It was said the spiritual energy in the Great Mystery Secret Land had completely liquefied. One day of cultivation there was equal to a hundred days outside.

Every year, the Great Mystery Sacred Sect would select prodigies to enter through a compet.i.tion. However, this year’s ten spots were already taken. To get in now, one could only find another way, pulling strings.

In the entire Great Mystery Sacred Sect, the ones with the greatest authority apart from the Supreme Elder and Holy Lord were undoubtedly Su Chen! After all, he was the one who had s.n.a.t.c.hed back the Great Mystery Secret Land.

Without Su Chen, there would be no such place today. With him speaking up, obtaining two spots would be no issue at all.

“Holy Son, don’t worry. I understand the rules of the Great Mystery Secret Land. My two disciples will only remain around the edges and won’t enter the Spirit Gathering Formations,” Elder Fan quickly added upon seeing Su Chen’s lack of response.

“It’s a small matter,” Su Chen said indifferently, removing a token from his waist and handing it to Elder Fan. “Take this token of mine and you may enter the Great Mystery Secret Land.”

“Thank you, Holy Son!” Elder Fan hurriedly cupped his fists gratefully.

After pondering for a time, he continued, “The second matter I’ve come about today regards the Prodigy Gathering.”

“Prodigy Gathering?” Su Chen’s brows lifted in surprise at the mention.

“I won’t hide it from the Holy Son…” Elder Fan immediately explained, “The Prodigy Gathering is a compet.i.tion against the dark creatures. Holy Son should still remember the descent of the dark creatures, right?”

“Naturally!” Su Chen nodded slightly. Were it not for the dark creatures, he never would have obtained the Black Blood Stone, which had directly boosted his physique’s strength by several levels. Later, with the Black Blood Stones from Marquis Champion, even Su Chen himself was unsure just how fearsome his current physique had become.

By Su Chen’s own estimates, he should now be capable of the fabled Blood Revival. However, he had never actually fallen to such dire straits and so had no way to verify this.

“The world today is inconceivably vast. Our Great Mystery Sacred Sect is only a speck in the ocean. In the past, dark creatures even appeared within our territory,” Elder Fan solemnly recounted.

“I can imagine numerous dark creatures must have simultaneously emerged in other places as well. As far as I know, Saint Realm dark creatures had even appeared within the Ancient Royal Mountain of the Demon Race, only to be jointly slain by several of the Demon Race’s Saint Realm experts.”

Dark creatures were difficult to kill. The stronger they were, the harder it became. Reaching the Saint Realm in particular often required dozens of same-level experts attacking together.

It was said those saints of the Demon Race had paid steep prices to slay that dark creature.

“It seems the powerful have caught wind of something amiss,” Su Chen softly remarked.

“Precisely!” Elder Fan nodded grimly. “Ten thousand years ago, the invasion of dark creatures nearly brought about the world’s end. Even in our current era, which is a long time after the threat of dark creatures, their terror can still be seen in ancient texts. If preventative measures aren’t taken, there’s a possibility that the entire world will be in danger! After all…”

At this point, Elder Fan paused before continuing, “Although the coming of the Golden Era draws near, the current era still can’t compare to ancient times.”

Su Chen fell silent upon hearing this. Elder Fan’s words rang true. During the ancient times, saints had been worthless in this world. Back then, quasi-emperors were everywhere, and great emperors a common sight. Even true immortals would descend from the immortal realms.

Yet in the current age, any power that had a single saint overseeing it was considered a top force. Having a great saint, saint king, or quasi-emperor in one’s faction would truly make it a top-tier power. And for a sect backed by a great emperor, it would be capable of dominating an era!

“Elder Fan has told me all this today, so you must be here to request my presence, right?” Su Chen finally asked after a lengthy silence.

“Mm.” Elder Fan nodded. “The Holy Lord’s intention is that if you have no other matters, you may go and observe. If you are occupied with other affairs, it’s also fine not to attend.”

In the end, the Prodigy Gathering was just a convention headed by a few quasi-emperors. Even if they went, they would only be able to watch on without a say. Long ago, those quasi-emperors had already discussed all the particulars amongst themselves. The holy lands attending had only acted according to their orders.

“May 1 ask where this Prodigy Gathering will be held?” Su Chen inquired curiously.

“The Purple Clouds Holy Land!” Elder Fan uttered four words.

“The Purple Clouds Holy Land?” Su Chen repeated the name softly, looking somewhat hesitant. He had some connection with Elder w.a.n.g of the Purple Clouds Holy Land. If he went, he would undoubtedly be an esteemed guest.

However, Su Chen had already resolved to search for saint-level materials long ago. Attending now would inevitably cost him precious time. After all, the distance between the Purple Clouds Holy Land and the Great Mystery Sacred Sect was too far. Unless great teleportation formations were utilized, just the flight alone would require a minimum of a year to arrive..
