Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 209 Yingchan
Coral trembled, not daring to meet the gaze of the white-robed youth.

She lowered her head and said softly, "I apologize for disturbing the Palace Master's cultivation."

"With your cultivation level, you can't disturb me."

Jiang Jian shook his head, stopped cultivating, and the vortex beside him dissipated. "To compete for the Spring Dawn Flower Spirit, we need to register quickly and be among the first to do so."

Coral snapped out of her daze, lightly raised her hand to reveal the treasure seal in her palm, and replied, "My lord, I've been keeping an eye on the registration time. When registration opens tonight, I'll definitely be among the first to register!"

Jiang nodded.

Coral entered the Overturned Sea Cave and stopped below the water stone, reporting: "During this time, as instructed by the master, I have been streamlining the demon generals and sailors of the Autumn Water Palace, and it has been quite effective."

As she spoke, her tone became lighter, with a hint of seeking credit.

"Originally, there were dozens of demon generals, most of whom I kicked out using the Palace-Controlling Seal!"

"Now only the Ten Spirit Generals remain!"

"Wolf Fork, Snake Spread, Me."

"The other seven spirit generals are all human races at the Spring of Life Realm!"

Coral cautiously raised her head, glanced at Jiang Jian, and continued, "The original thousand or so sailors have also been reduced to two hundred!"

"Among them are fifty sailors, all of whom are human!"

Hear this.

Jiang Jian nodded slightly, his eyes showing approval.

Coral is meticulous in her work, never compromising on any aspect.

From beginning to end, he carried out his orders to the best of his ability.

This pleased Jiang Jianxin greatly.

"well done."

Jiang Jiandao said, "Take my password and go to the Autumn Water Reservoir to retrieve a coral spirit herb and a luminous pearl."

Coral was stunned, her face showing disbelief: "Coral spirit grass, luminous pearl, these are all rare resources!"

There was one more thing she didn't say.

The coral spirit grass among them is particularly well-suited to her condition, and can greatly enhance her spiritual cultivation!

“Scarce resources can also be renewable.”

Jiang Jian said softly, "Qiushui Palace is fair and just in its rewards and punishments. This is what you deserve."

Coral gently stroked the hem of her crimson skirt, gathered her gauze sleeves, knelt down, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Jiang Jian contained not only reverence and fear, but also a hint of loyalty.

"Go down."

Jiang Jian waved his sleeve.

Coral bowed again, respectfully retreated, and left the Overturned Sea Cave.

Jiang Jian stood at the edge of the water and stone, and a swirling golden vortex appeared in his pupils.

During this period, he worked tirelessly, day and night, in rigorous self-cultivation.

The vital energy from the spring is increasing even more noticeably!
The conditions for cultivation here are truly excellent.

The supply of spiritual resources is endless, almost inexhaustible.

Even though the upper limit of the acupoints is already terrifying.

But seeing this, Jiang still managed to cultivate the essence of the Yongquan Spring to one-tenth of its full potential!
At the bottom of the acupoint, the golden spiritual liquid swayed and rippled.

There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation.

The long and painstaking process is indispensable.

just.

Of the seventy prefectures on Earth, many people cannot endure the loneliness and tedium of cultivation.

On the contrary, those who obtained the opportunity to cultivate in the Earth-Moon Academy world after a brutal selection process are extremely serious about their cultivation.

Some humans even cultivate with great dedication.

Jiang was filled with admiration upon seeing this.

After the last battle for the treasure.

Jiang Jian noticed it clearly.

The vast majority of the demon generals and sailors of the Dragon Palace in the sea are utterly useless!
Most aquatic monsters only know how to drink, play games, and gamble, living a muddled life day by day, and their combat power is very poor.

However, according to the rules of the Dragon Palace.

Every so often, I have to pay a large sum of spiritual resources for these things!

This discovery made Jiang Jian frown deeply.

These spiritual resources, though not many compared to the vast treasury of Qiushui Palace.

But seeing this place still made Jiang feel as if her heart was bleeding.

Until Jiang Jian, after successfully defending his title.

We obtained some human resources from the twenty-third pavilion.

He suddenly realized that these humans were almost identical to the humans he had seen during the entrance exam!
Each and every one of them is one in a million!

They had gone through brutal life-and-death battles and fierce competition to emerge on the path of cultivation!
These humans were all brave and diligent, cultivating day and night.

We cherish every single spiritual resource!
Most importantly, it possesses initial talent and is very powerful in combat.

He can even take on ten ordinary monster sailors at once!

Discover this.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Jian used the Palace Seal to kick out all the lazy, good-for-nothing monster soldiers!

Even most of the demon generals at the Yongquan Realm were wiped out!
The three great demon generals of Qiushui Palace: Coral, Wolf Fork, and Snake Extension.

They were all granted imperial seals and dispatched.

Its purpose is singular.

It means using every means to win over the human race and bring them to Qiushui Palace for cultivation!

The present-day Shusui Palace.

Of the ten Spirit Generals, seven are human races at the Spring-Gathering Realm!
Two hundred sailors, with fifty of them being human!

Although the Shūsui Palace has been reduced in size.

However, its overall combat strength has increased dramatically!

The others in the pavilions were puzzled to see that Jiang Jian's Autumn Water Palace had actually dismissed its sailors.

Some people were even secretly pleased.

He cursed Jiang Jian for his short-sightedness in reducing the combat strength of Qiushui Palace in order to save resources.

but.

As more and more humans came to Lihai and joined Qiushui Palace.

The many beings bearing the palm prints gradually realized that something was wrong.

The seven palaces and nineteen halls were the first to react and also took action.

Their methods are exactly the same as those of the Shusui Palace.

While clearing out redundant sailors, they secretly recruited humans everywhere!
The 360 ​​pavilions also house many talented individuals who are intelligent and quick to react.

opposite of this.

Some of the beings who held the seals and managed the pavilions had very few resources, so they began to absorb sailors on a large scale!
They weren't stupid; they knew perfectly well that with the resources of the attic, they could barely manage their own cultivation, let alone support these sailors!

However, if you want to climb up the ranks and get a high-ranking official position, you have to rely on sheer numbers and give it your all!
Originally, subduing demon generals and sailors was a right exclusively belonging to the victors of official battles or those who successfully defended their positions.

However, if there is an attic, the sailor should be kicked out.

Then the remaining pavilions can activate the treasure seal to gather them together, and the first to arrive will get them.

This has led to extremely strange phenomena occurring at the current Lihai Zhen Palace.

The higher the ranking of the attic, the more severe the reduction of sailors.

The lower-ranked pavilions, however, were unrestrained, accepting all comers and absorbing all the sailors eliminated by other pavilions!

The battle for official positions continues day and night!

Almost every day, there are hundreds or even thousands of battles for official positions!
The weak demon generals and sailors were quickly wiped out.

The sailors who survived the continuous and fierce battles were all veterans!

Attic rankings are also changing wildly!

There are 360 ​​pavilions, and even more outstanding talents from the distant seas are taking advantage of the chaos to accumulate a large amount of resources, launching a battle for official positions in one of the nineteen palaces!

He won the battle for official position and became the new master of Qionghua Palace!

The original master of Qionghua Palace was stripped of his official position and reassigned to manage the pavilion.

This battle for official positions marks the first change of officials in the seven palaces and nineteen halls.

“A treasure imbued with spiritual essence, the spirit of spring blossoms.”

Jiang Jian turned around and walked out of the Overturned Sea Cave, thinking of Xu Chaolu.

In the last battle for the treasure, Xu Zhaolu broke the agreement and attacked Qiushui Palace alone in order to obtain the Qiushui Sword.

Her methods were excellent; she recruited a large number of demon generals to attack the enemy, and distributed divinely bestowed weapons to each of them.

If Xu Chaolu can hold him off for five seconds, those attacking demon generals will be able to dismantle his Autumn Water Formation!

But Xu Chaolu was far too arrogant.

They also underestimated their own methods.

That's why all our efforts were in vain, and we failed.

"If those dozens of demon generals who were tasked with attacking the enemy had not tried to dismantle the Autumn Water Formation, but instead had wielded their divinely bestowed weapons and faced the enemy head-on."

"Perhaps she really will succeed in challenging the champion!"

"If Xu Chaolu were replaced by Wei Yang, or Shang Tianji."

"Either of them could easily hold me off for five seconds!"

"Wild geese, bright moon, and shifting flowers."

"These three palace masters are not to be underestimated either."

Think of this.

Jiang Jian's gaze darkened slightly.

His expression was unusually solemn.

The last treasure battle.

After he defeated Xu Chaolu, everyone else, without prior agreement, cancelled their registration!

Among them was the Third Palace Master!

The victory is achieved by defending the title.

The spiritual treasure, the Autumn Water Sword, also fell into his hands.

For a month.

Autumn Water Palace, though nominally the First Palace.

But Jiang saw it clearly.

The other palace masters are all secretly accumulating power.

Whether it's Xu Chaolu or the Palace Master of the Third Palace.

Even Wei Yang and Shang Tianji.

They all regard their own place as a hypothetical enemy.

after all.

One year later, the battle for core resources and the throne of the Dragon King will begin.

Only the Seven Palace Masters are qualified to participate.

There can only be one winner.

No one should be ignored!
Xu Chaolu, though defeated by her own hand.

But her idea at the time was to use ingenious techniques to break through the great formation.

All their methods are aimed at holding themselves back.

Their true strength has not been revealed.

"This time, we'll compete for the Spring Dawn Flower Spirit."

"Xu Zhaolu, as the defender of the title, will definitely fight with all her might."

"Others might sign up later to observe her abilities."

"But I must strike first and take away the Spring Dawn Flower Spirit!"

Jiang Jian lightly flicked the sleeves of his golden-white robe, and deep within his pupils, a brilliant golden vortex emerged, spinning intensely!
Spring Dawn Flower Spirit is very precious.

This is extremely important to Jiang Jian's cultivation plan!

With this item, one's cultivation speed at the Yongquan Realm can be increased by at least 30%!

Whether it's the authority over Yinshan or repairing the cracks in one's soul.

Or perhaps, it is a preparation for a possible dramatic change.

They all need to improve their spiritual energy as soon as possible!

Before admission.

The message from Nie Zheng has already mentioned this.

The lunar realm is in turmoil, which is extremely serious.

Before this, in hundreds of years, it had never reached this level!
"Palace Master!"

In the main hall of Qiushui, a human stepped forward and bowed.

"No gift."

Jiang Jian nodded gently, her tone mild, "Are you getting used to cultivating here?"

Hear this.

The human at the Spring-Flowing Realm was startled, his heart slightly excited. He respectfully replied, "Thank you for your concern, Palace Master. The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, and the cultivation speed is too fast. I'm not used to it."

As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment, then said, "The resources that the Palace Master has given me are far too many. Every time I think about it, I feel unworthy of them."

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "This is what you deserve."

The spiritual resources given to this person are only the normal amount for a person at the Yongquan Realm.

Under the rules of the Dragon Palace.

Jiang Jian has already suppressed it to the lowest level here.

Thinking back, the ten demon generals of Qiushui Palace were occupying their positions without doing any work, wasting a huge amount of resources.

Jiang Jianxin felt a chill creep into her heart without realizing it.

Qiushui Palace is my own Qiushui Palace.

No matter how much it costs to use the necessary resources, Jiang Jian won't feel bad.

But if we let the spiritual resources go to waste.

Jiang could only use the treasure seal to sweep away the useless demon generals like garbage.

These humans from Yongquan Realm are brave and fearless, with formidable combat power.

He is several times stronger than the previous demon general!
“Practice diligently. If you encounter any obstacles during your cultivation, you may come and ask me for help.”

Jiang Jian spoke softly as he walked into the main hall.

Although both are in the Yongquan realm.

But at this moment, Jiang Jian's spiritual energy was incredibly profound, far surpassing that of these humans.

Only one-tenth of the Golden Elixir is available.

It's because the upper limit of its acupoints is simply too terrifying!
If this spiritual essence were placed in an ordinary Spring Spring Realm cultivator, it would be as much as 80% or 90%!

"Thank you, Palace Master!"

The humans from Yongquan Realm responded loudly.

He looked up and exchanged a glance with the other person; both were deeply moved.

"According to Coral Demon General, the challenge battle will begin after tonight."

The man said in a deep voice, "This is our first time taking action in this challenge, and we absolutely cannot let the Palace Master down!"

The human from Yongquan Realm nodded vigorously, clenched his fists, and licked his lips: "I am a subject of the ruler, and I must serve the ruler faithfully!"

"We cultivate day and night, conserving our energy and strength."

"It's time to make a name for ourselves, rout them all, and spread the glorious name of Autumn Water Palace!"

While talking.

The two men had fierce expressions, their eyes filled with fighting spirit!
As humans who have passed the Holy Selection Ceremony, they cherish every opportunity to cultivate and know in their hearts that encountering the birth of the Dragon Palace is their greatest fortune!

Cultivating here not only provides abundant spiritual energy and extremely fast cultivation speed, but also allows you to obtain scarce resources!
If we seize the opportunity, we might even have the chance to reach the Divine Palace Realm one day!

at the same time.

Luoyan Palace.

The sounds of silk and bamboo instruments fill the air, while graceful dances unfold.

The jade banquet was filled with delicacies, including spirit soup, vegetables, fruits, and fine wine.

"Jiang Jian from Qiushui Palace is very likely to sign up alone to compete for the Spring Dawn Flower Spirit!"

The Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace put down her cup and spoke first, "If we were to form another team, we would be at a disadvantage."

The Palace Master of Luoyan Palace shook her head, her face showing disdain: "Only the benefits that are in hand are real."

What's the use of caring about empty fame?

"During this period, Jiang Jian successfully defended his title and temporarily took the title of the number one prodigy. Is he really worthy of the title?"

He sneered, "Don't even mention the few of us, there are quite a few people in the nineteenth palace below who are resentful about this."

"Even Xu Zhaolu, who was defeated by him, only had the initial goal of stalling him and did not show her full strength at all."

"Spring Dawn Palace has quite a few hidden trump cards!"

"My suggestion is that to secure the Spring Dawn Flower Spirit, the three of us should continue as a team to ensure everything goes smoothly!"

Hear this.

The Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace nodded and said nothing more.

Instead, the Palace Master of Mingyue said softly, "The reason why we canceled our registration last time was because Jiang Jian successfully defended the arena and swallowed dozens of Yuquan Demon Generals and a large number of divine weapons from Xu Chaolu."

"But now, all seven palaces and nineteen halls are streamlining their strength."

"Xu Chaolu also only has a dozen or so Spirit Generals at the Yongquan Realm left."

"In my opinion, there's no need for the three of us to team up again."

The Palace Mistress of Mingyue Palace looked proud, and her words were filled with confidence: "I can break through Chunxiao Palace on my own."

The other two exchanged a glance and fell silent.

As level 5 talents in Chang'an Prefecture, each of these prodigies has their own ideas.

The three had differing opinions, and in the end, the meeting inevitably ended on bad terms.

The brief alliance of the three palaces collapsed completely.

Time passed quickly.

The order of registration has been determined.

Qiu Shui Palace.

"Coral has failed in her duties; please punish her, Your Highness!"

Coral, dressed in a crimson gauze dress, knelt outside the Overturned Sea Cave, her face full of disappointment and self-blame.

The skirts were spread out, piled on the ground, scattered like flowers.

The other spirits who passed by all had complicated expressions and sighed as they walked away.

Coral was in charge of registering for the Spring Dawn Flower Spirit competition, but contrary to her expectations, she didn't win first place.

Qiushui Palace's challenge order has fallen to fourth place.

The first place was snatched up by Mingyue Palace.

The second is Shang Tianji's Mingchan Palace.

The third is Qionghua Palace.

"Prepare the imperial carriage and proceed to the Cicada Palace."

Upon learning the result, Jiang Jian stopped cultivating and walked out of the Overturning Sea Cave.

Coral remained kneeling on the ground, not getting up.

Jiang Jian's gaze turned slightly cold as she said, "I won't repeat myself. Don't waste my time."

Coral trembled, and after weighing her options, she immediately stood up and turned to prepare the imperial carriage.

According to the rules of the Dragon Palace.

The order of attack for the treasure hunt will be determined by the order of registration.

If multiple people register at the same time, they will be selected randomly.

Coral, who was constantly monitoring the Palace Seal, clearly registered immediately.

Qiushui Palace did not win first place.

All I can say is that the other three attics were luckier.

The Palace of Cicadas.

main hall.

Shang Tianji prepared a banquet, and he and Jiang Jian took their seats in turn.

He waved away the rest of the people.

The hall was extremely quiet, with only the two of them remaining.

“Spring Dawn Flower Spirit, I can give up.”

Shang Tianji was not surprised by Jiang Jian's arrival, "but you and Qiushui Palace owe me a favor."

Jiang Jian picked up his cup, took a small sip, and said nothing.

"Don't worry."

Shang Tianji said, "I will only use this favor in appropriate places and will never put you in a difficult position."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Jian nodded and said, "Okay."

The two reached an agreement.

Without hesitation, Shang Tianji lightly flipped his palm and took out the Palm Palace Treasure Seal.

In front of Jiang Jian, he cancelled his registration.

Qiushui Palace's challenge order immediately rose to third place!
The atmosphere eased.

Shang Tianji smiled and said, "The Qionghua Palace Master who is second in the challenge is not a student of our academy, but a native being who rose up from the pavilion."

"With his strength, he absolutely cannot conquer Chunxiao Palace. He's so eager to sign up; I wonder what he's up to."

Jiang Jian said softly, "In my opinion, this person is a shrewd strategist. He has too many sailors in Qionghua Palace, and he probably wants to send them all away at once."

Shang Tianji clicked his tongue repeatedly and said, "He's even reluctant to expend the tiny bit of his own essence needed to activate the Palace Seal. Just how stingy is this guy?"

The deeds of the newly appointed Lord of Qionghua Palace are so bizarre that they have already spread throughout the Dragon Palace of the Sea.

Previously, in other pavilions, when the demon generals and sailors were being eliminated.

He did the opposite, wielding the Palace Seal and frantically absorbing these soldiers and generals.

At its peak, the pavilion where it was located housed nearly ten thousand demon generals and water soldiers!
It was at this moment that this person launched a battle for official position against the Lord of Qionghua Palace!

They relied on a densely packed human wave tactic.

They disregarded the losses and utterly flattened the Qionghua Palace, breaking through the palace's grand formation!
Nearly ten thousand demon generals and sailors were also consumed in a frenzy, leaving only two thousand.

"I think there's more to this story than meets the eye."

Jiang Jian said softly, "His two thousand demon generals and sailors have been tempered by life and death, and are all capable warriors."

"Perhaps, Xu Chaolu made some deal with him to take away his troops."

"Thus."

"The Palace Master of Qionghua deliberately conceded defeat during the challenge match."

"To temporarily increase the strength of the defenders of Chunxiao Palace, catching the other challengers off guard."

Hear this.

Shang Tianji was taken aback.

After a while.

He then realized what was happening, looked at the white-robed youth, and said, "Your thoughts and feelings are far more terrifying than Xu Chaolu's."

"I am now absolutely certain."

Shang Tianji composed himself and continued, "If Mingyue Palace had not conquered Chunxiao Palace..."

"Then this spiritual treasure, Spring Dawn Flower Spirit."

"It will definitely fall into your hands!"

He looked at Jiang Jian with a complicated expression.

"If possible."

"I hope I will never become your opponent."

Hear this.

Jiang Jian remained calm and said, "Don't forget, we come from the surface world; we're not from here at all."

"We have come to the Earth-Moon Academy for only one purpose."

"It's cultivation."

"Attacks and schemes are merely minor tactics."

"Spiritual cultivation is the only real thing."

"We have never been opponents."

"They're just classmates."

The words fell.

Jiang Jian stood up and walked towards the outside of Mingchan Palace.

Its goal, from beginning to end, has been extremely clear.

The first priority is to cultivate one's spiritual essence through rigorous practice.

Secondly, in addition to cultivation, one should try to acquire as many treasures as possible.

Autumn Water Sword.

Spring Dawn Flower Spirit.

The Dragon Palace's most precious treasure: the willow branch.

Jiang Jian's leisure time was solely dedicated to this purpose.

"Jiang Jian, from Linjiang Prefecture."

Shang Tianji stared at his retreating figure, his expression complex, and murmured softly.

A word to awaken the dreamer.

In a daze, he suddenly realized.

For a brief moment, I did forget my true identity.

The Second Realm is, after all, a closed world.

Many university students get too caught up in the drama.

The most obvious change is in the way he speaks.

But Shang Tianji knew even more clearly in his heart.

To remain clear-headed at all times in this world requires an extremely strong mind.

Although the freshmen of this year's Earth-Moon Academy are exceptionally talented, most of them are arrogant and proud.

Maintaining one's moral character is extremely difficult.

"Speaking of cultivation."

"I haven't been practicing seriously for several days."

Shang Tianji became alert and returned to the quiet room alone.

I forced myself to abandon distracting thoughts and focus my mind, and began my cultivation practice.

Qiu Shui Palace.

Covering the sea cave.

Jiang saw the stone by the water and sat down on the ground.

Countless chaotic thoughts swept through my mind.

Many past memories flashed before my eyes, one after another.

Linjiang Academy, Star Ring Realm, Shang Emperor's Tomb, Realm of the Dead, Yin Mountain, Chang'an Prefecture.

Countless images flashed by wildly.

Whispers mingled, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Jiang Jian lowered his eyelids, guiding the circulation of spiritual energy, his mind unwavering!

boom!
All chaotic thoughts vanished into thin air, turning into dust!
His mind was completely focused on one thing!
Practice!

Its vital energy, flowing rapidly, roars wildly!
A dragon-shaped jade is placed beside him, and he is holding a water spirit stone in his hand.

This is the dual realm formed from the initial star ring of Earth.

Jiang Jian focused solely on cultivation, and his cultivation speed was almost at its limit!
The spiritual energy within the spring is growing at an unimaginable speed!

Outside the Fuhai Cave.

The ten spirit generals of Qiushui Palace gathered together to discuss the attack on Chunxiao Palace.

Coral looked around and spoke first: "The Palace Master instructed us to observe the Bright Moon Palace's challenge."

"If Mingyue Palace wins, we should continue with our usual activities and not disturb the Palace Master's cultivation."

"Only if Mingyue Palace loses will it be our turn to take the stage."

Wolf Fork and Snake's Edge exchanged a glance and nodded repeatedly.

The two demons were originally demon generals of the Dragon Palace, with ordinary cultivation levels.

It was only because of his past achievements that he wasn't purged.

At this time, the two demons' status in the Autumn Water Palace had declined significantly.

On the contrary, Coral is efficient and good at overall planning.

He later surpassed others and became the leader of the Ten Great Spirit Generals.

The two demons, Wolf Fork and Snake Prowling, are at odds with the human spirit general.

Left with no other choice, they could only rely on Coral and obey her commands.

Hearing what Coral said.

The other human spirit generals did not say much, but simply waited quietly.

The two hundred sailors of Qiushui Palace were all skilled and elite soldiers.

Apart from the fifty Divine Realm humans.

The remaining monsters and sailors were all carefully selected and possessed profound spiritual power.

soon.

The Spring Dawn Palace Challenge has officially begun.

Coral held the Palace Seal, which condensed into a huge light screen that floated in the air.

The images on it are clear and detailed.

This allows all beings in the Autumn Water Palace, regardless of their cultivation level, to observe carefully.

The Palace Mistress of Mingyue Palace is a beautiful young woman.

The preparations they made were very thorough.

This made the first battle to defend the title extremely fierce.

The ten spirit generals and two hundred sailors of Qiushui Palace held their breath and watched the battle intently, not daring to make a sound.

Shortly after.

Coral got up and walked towards the Oversea Cave.

We stopped outside the stone gate.

"Lord Palace Master."

she said respectfully.

Jiang stopped cultivating and looked over.

Coral reported: "The Palace Mistress of Bright Moon Palace won a narrow victory, but Spring Dawn Palace held on."

She paused, a hint of lingering fear on her face. "The two sides were evenly matched, and it was a very close contest at the beginning."

"But the Palace Master of Mingyue Palace suddenly erupted, using her trump card to defeat the Palace Master of Chunxiao Palace, and slaughtered almost all of the people of Chunxiao Palace."

"But she failed to break the palace formation within the allotted time."

"Just a little bit."

As she spoke, Coral's face lit up with joy, "During the challenge, Chunxiao Palace has very little time to rest, which is perfect for us to take advantage of any openings!"

Hear this.

Jiang Jian shook his head slightly and said, "At this point, the second round of the title defense should be over."

Coral exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible!"

"Could it be that Palace Mistress Chunxiao ended her recuperation ahead of schedule?"

She hurriedly took out the Palace Seal to observe the battle situation.

next second.

Coral's expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"The moment the Palace Master of Qionghua stepped onto the stage, she actually conceded defeat!"

"Two thousand demon generals and sailors were all given to Chunxiao Palace!"

She held the seal, her expression somewhat panicked.

Those two thousand soldiers looked imposing and were definitely not ordinary people.

Jiang frowned slightly and said, "Noisy."

Coral immediately shut her mouth and quieted down.

Jiang Jian stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the cave: "Get ready, it's our turn."

In his heart, he never truly regarded Xu Chaolu as an opponent.

This year's freshmen at the Earth-Moon Academy.

In Jiang Jian's view, the only one who posed a threat to him was Wei Yang.

Shang Tianji is considered a partial threat.

Jiang Jian's thoughts were very clear.

After obtaining the Spring Dawn Flower Spirit.

I will no longer participate in the competition for other treasures.

Firstly, the other spiritual treasures have single attributes and are not very useful to me.

Secondly, such battles for treasures waste energy and delay cultivation.

If we win this challenge...

Holding the Autumn Water Sword and the Spring Dawn Flower Spirit.

Jiang Jian planned to stay in the Fuhai Cave, use the resources of Qiushui Palace, and continue cultivating, no longer paying attention to other trivial matters.

They will only emerge from seclusion after a full year, when they are vying for the throne of the Dragon King.

My experiences during this period.

Seeing this, Jiang clearly realized...

Such places can easily corrupt the mind and cause people to lose their way.

Once you have obtained the treasure you need, you must leave as soon as possible.

The Earth-Moon Academy world is similar in size to Earth's landmass, vast and boundless.

Among them, there are countless spiritual resources.

The Earth-Moon Academy also has clear regulations.

Freshmen are required to stay at a designated location for a full year.

Only then can I leave this place and cultivate freely.

"If it's in the future, I will leave this place."

"The vast resources of Qiushui Palace cannot be easily given up."

Jiang Jian walked outside, but was deep in thought.

A year later, he left the Dragon Palace.

He needed to find a living being to replace him and take the position of the Autumn Water Palace Master.

Thus.

Only then can one return to Lihai when needed and freely take the resources of Qiushui Palace.

“Apart from the Chosen Ones”.

“Native creatures can also become creatures that bear the palm seal.”

Thinking about it.

Jiang Jian recalled the more than one hundred creatures that the young man in the Divine Palace Realm robe brought when the Dragon Palace opened.

These beings are the same as himself, holding the seal.

However, since he was in charge of the attic, his status was relatively low.

The highest-ranking official among them was the Master of Qionghua Palace.

Of the seven palaces and nineteen halls, only one, the Lord of Qionghua Hall, is a native being.

The rest of the handprints were all chosen by the Holy One.

"Choosing the Palace Master of Qiushui Palace is very important and cannot be rushed."

"It needs to be considered slowly and planned in the long term."

"But this is the candidate."

"It must be a native creature."

Jiang made up her mind and stopped thinking about it.

Jiang Jian came out.

Outside the Overturning Sea Cave, the ten spirit generals greeted in unison, "Greetings, Palace Master!"

The two hundred sailors below also showed reverence and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"No gift."

Jiang Jian lightly flicked his sleeves, his expression calm, and swept his gaze over the creatures of Qiushui Palace.

suddenly.

His gaze paused for a moment, then fell on a sailor.

She was a human girl.

She wore a deep blue robe from the Autumn Water Palace, her long black hair was tied up, she held a level 1 longsword, and her face was covered with a thin black veil, making her look quite ordinary.

Although she concealed her face.

But Jiang recognized him at a glance.

This person is none other than girl number 7, who performed exceptionally well during the entrance examination!
What shocked Jiang Jianxin even more was...

I actually sensed an aura emanating from Number 7!
This aura is extremely strange.

Yet it carried an inexplicable sense of familiarity!

Jiang Jian can confirm this.

During the entrance exam, Number 7 definitely didn't have that kind of aura!

"Is this aura activated only after the divinely bestowed ritual?"

In a short time, Jiang Jian's thoughts surged, and he came up with many guesses in a very short period of time!
He was absolutely certain of it.

With his own cultivation level and sensory abilities.

This feeling of familiarity is definitely not unfounded, nor is it a mere coincidence; it must have its source!
My thoughts and emotions began to race.

After ruling out many guesses.

Jiang Jian's gaze grew increasingly solemn.

After eliminating all the impossibilities.

So the remaining answer, however unbelievable, is the only truth!
Jiang saw this and compared it several times.

It has finally been confirmed that this inexplicable sense of familiarity actually comes from the Han Guang Divine Sword!

But at the same time.

Jiang Jian also learned that the Han Guang Divine Sword was a gift from heaven.

There is no connection whatsoever with this girl number 7.

"Then, only one possibility remains."

Jiang Jian calmed himself down, walked up to the girl number 7, and looked into her clear eyes.

My thoughts surged like a tidal wave.

"In this dual realm, there is a completely closed academy world."

"Incredibly, someone has appeared who was born with divine gifts."

"This divine gift is right before my eyes."

A gift from the gods, so rare as to be unimaginable.

The four realms of Earth, Moon, and Heaven are home to hundreds of billions of living beings.

However, for hundreds of years...

Throughout the four realms of Earth and Moon, from birth to death, countless beings have existed!
In Earth's history.

There are no more than thirty recorded cases of people being born with divine gifts.

They are born with divine gifts, without any hierarchy.

Or.

They were born with divine gifts, and their level of attainment was unimaginably high!

Seeing this, based on his Han Guang Divine Sword, the only thing Jiang could be certain of was...

Born with divine gifts, possessing the qualities for growth!
Everyone is born with divine gifts and can continue to grow!
This terrifying talent is so incredible that it can leave one speechless.

It felt like a long time had passed.

It felt like an instant had passed.

Jiang Jian smiled and asked gently, "What's your name?"

There are no objections to the appointment of the next Palace Master of Qiushui.

After leaving this place, if he lacks resources, he will have to obtain things from the Autumn Water Palace through the girl in front of him.

Looking at Jiang Jian.

The girl number 7 also stood there, stunned.

She never imagined that her former "chosen one" would actually be in the Dragon Palace of the Sea!

Moreover, she is the renowned and number one ranked Autumn Water Palace Master among the seven palaces and nineteen halls!
After a while.

Under the watchful eyes of the ten spirit generals and two hundred sailors.

She finally came to her senses, raised her head, and looked at the handsome young man in front of her.

She spoke softly through the veil.

"My name is Shen Qingchan."

By some strange twist of fate.

Shen Qingchan's lips moved, and she blurted out, "Your Majesty the Chosen One."

Upon hearing this title...

Jiang was taken aback.

The ten spirit generals beside him changed their expressions drastically!
Two hundred sailors fell silent!
Coral's face turned deathly pale, and she murmured, "How could this woman be so rude!"

Snake and Wolf were trembling with fear, terrified that Jiang Jianyi would casually deal with them with a flick of his sleeve.

For a while.

Outside the Overturned Sea Cave, you could hear a pin drop!
After a moment.

Under the gaze of countless eyes.

Amidst the shock and disbelief of the ten spirit generals.

The young man in the white robe smiled lightly, without reacting at all, and instead answered seriously.

"The so-called Holy Chosen is only a temporary designation."

"my name."

"His name is Jiang Jian."

Hear this.

Almost all the spirit generals and sailors of Qiushui Palace were stunned on the spot, extremely shocked!

The high and mighty Palace Master is actually speaking gently to a mortal girl!

For the Ten Spirit Generals who had spent every day with Jiang Jian and knew his personality well, this was completely contrary to common sense!

Many spirit generals rubbed their eyes vigorously, afraid that they were seeing things.

Jiang Jian turned her head and said softly, "Coral."

Coral trembled, but forced herself to steady herself and stepped forward, saying, "Palace Master."
