Chapter 1383: Three Sacred's Grand Selection! Sunset Ancient City

"

Hehe,

very well! Once we earn enough contribution points, we can come back to the Earth Emperor Pool again!"

A faint smile appeared on Li Fei's face. Although Ling Feng was only an outer sect disciple, his strength was already close to that of an inner sect elite ranked around fiftieth on the Creation Star Ranking. With him on the team, both their efficiency and the level of missions they could take would improve significantly.

According to the sect's rules, every disciple could enter the Earth Emperor Pool twice a year. As long as one earned enough contribution points, the chance to cultivate there was not something to waste.

Ling Feng smiled faintly and did not comment. The Earth Emperor Pool was indeed good, but it no longer held much appeal for him.

Still, earning more contribution points was always worthwhile.

After all, as an outer sect disciple, even the First Tianjian did not have the right to freely choose missions. Li Fei's willingness to form a long term team with him gave him a steady path to earn contribution points.

"By the way, Xiao Ling, what about you? Are you joining our team as well?" Li Fei turned to look at Feng Ling.

"

Ah? Um...

"

Feng Ling hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook her head. "Sister Fei, did you forget that we inner sect disciples should already be preparing for the selection for Sunset Ancient City?"

Li Fei suddenly realized and looked deeply at Feng Ling. "Xiao Ling, are you planning to compete for a spot in Sunset Ancient City this year as well?"

Feng Ling nodded. "Yes. Even if I fail, I still want to give it a try."

"That makes sense." Li Fei nodded. "Your strength has improved rapidly over the past few years. You really do have a chance to compete for a place in Sunset Ancient City."

"Sunset Ancient City? What is that supposed to be?"

Ling Feng was completely lost and had no idea what the two of them were talking about.

"Sunset Ancient City is the shared inheritance ground of the three great sacred lands of the Dongling Region. What the two senior sisters are referring to is the Three Sacred's Grand Selection that will take place in half a year. The elites of all three sacred lands will compete outside the ruins of Sunset Ancient City for entry quotas. Only the top one hundred will earn the right to enter the city."

Yan Guying's eyes were filled with envy as he spoke in a deep voice. "I heard that even the outermost area of Sunset Ancient City has spiritual energy far denser than the sky-tier cultivation grounds of the Earth Emperor Pool. It is also said that Sunset Ancient City is part of a fallen immortal continent that originated from a supreme immortal realm. If someone gains a great opportunity there, advancing to the Great Emperor realm would not be difficult."

Li Fei nodded with a grave expression. "The Three Sacred's Grand Selection is held once every ten years, and the next one is only half a year away. However, the competition is extremely fierce. Strictly speaking, only those ranked within the top fifty of the Creation Star Ranking have a real chance of making it through."

"So what if that is the case." Feng Ling wrapped her arm around Li Fei's and said with a playful grin, "Sister Fei, how will you know if you do not try? Who knows, maybe within these six months, your strength will suddenly reach the second stage of the Extreme Human Emperor realm."

"At present, that does not seem very likely."

Li Fei shook her head slightly. She knew her own limits well. Although she was on the Creation Star Ranking, she was only near the very bottom and had little real competitiveness.

"The Three Sacred's Grand Selection and the Grand Selection competition..."

Ling Feng raised his brows slightly. It seemed this was an opportunity for the geniuses of the three sacred lands to compete on the same stage!

"I want to ask. What are the requirements to take part in this Grand Selection competition?"

A sharp fighting intent surfaced in Ling Feng's eyes.

Li Fei and Feng Ling both looked at him. With his strength, he did have some of the required qualifications to contend.

"The requirements are that you must be an inner sect disciple under the age of fifty, and your cultivation must be below the Great Emperor realm. Anyone who meets these conditions may participate," Li Fei replied slowly.

"

Hehe,

you arrogant jerk. You already failed the first requirement, so stop dreaming." Feng Ling made a face at Ling Feng, clearly pleased with herself.

"There are still six months. It is not impossible for me to advance to the inner sect within that time."

Ling Feng lifted his brows. No one was standing in his way anymore. With his current strength, once he earned enough contribution points to apply for the promotion assessment, entering the inner sect would not be difficult.

"Then it is settled. We will split up. Xiao Ling, you focus on preparing for the Three Sacred's Grand Selection. I will team up with Junior Brother Ling to earn more contribution points so that he can advance to the inner sect as soon as possible," Li Fei said calmly.

Yan Guying looked on with envy. As an outer sect disciple, he did not even have the qualifications to participate. At most, he could only watch from the sidelines.

"Senior Brother Yan, why not join us on missions as well? With your current strength, you are already qualified to advance to the inner sect."

Without hesitation, Ling Feng extended an invitation to Yan Guying.

Li Fei also nodded. Yan Guying wasn't weak, so having him along would certainly be of some help.

Yan Guying was tempted. Following Ling Feng, the speed at which he could earn contribution points would undoubtedly be many times faster than going alone.

However, after a moment, Yan Guying still shook his head and gave Ling Feng a fist-and-palm salute. "I will never forget Junior Brother Ling's kindness, but I still want to go out and temper myself on my own."

He clenched his fist lightly and spoke in a low voice. "I know very well that with my current strength, if I stay by your side, I will only be a burden. With your protection, I will hardly have any chances to fight, and that will not temper me at all. Junior Brother Ling, I appreciate your goodwill, but I want to carve out my own path with my own strength!"

"Good!"

Ling Feng laughed out loud. Yan Guying possessed the heart of someone who aspired to reach the peak. Although his talent lagged behind others, if fortune ever favored him, he would surely soar to the heavens and leave those so called geniuses far behind.

"Since Senior Brother has such resolve, I will not force the matter. I hope you achieve your wish soon!"

Ling Feng patted Yan Guying on the shoulder. After joining the Dongling Immortal Pool, Yan Guying was the first person he truly acknowledged from the bottom of his heart. He believed that Yan Guying would never remain ordinary. One day, he might even become a towering figure who could influence the fate of the Dongling Immortal Pool itself.

Li Fei and Feng Ling also looked at Yan Guying with renewed respect. Clearly, they now regarded this outer sect disciple in a different light.

"In that case, Junior Brother Yan, if you ever need help in the future, you can come to me at any time." Li Fei smiled calmly, her bearing both heroic and composed.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Yan Guying nodded heavily. He understood clearly that in the world of martial cultivation, respect was earned through strength. These two Pride of the Heavens were willing to treat him as a teammate today entirely because of Ling Feng.

One day, he hoped to stand on equal footing with the geniuses of his generation through his own abilities!

The group then parted ways. Li Fei and Feng Ling headed straight for the Heavenly Realm. Before leaving, Li Fei told Ling Feng that she would take on several missions over the next few days and would inform him once everything was arranged so that he could prepare himself.

At present, Ling Feng urgently needed a large number of contribution points. He was eager to set out on missions immediately, so he naturally had no objections.

If he missed the Three Sacred's Grand Selection that would take place in half a year, he would have to wait another ten years. He had no intention of staying in the Dongling Immortal Pool for that long!
