A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

Su Meiniang turned around, her eyes wide with surprise as she looked at Cao Wang.

"How did you do that, kid?"

"It's divine sense! I've incorporated divine sense into my attack!"

Cao Wang said in a profound and unfathomable way.

"Could it be...?"

An incredible idea popped into Su Meiniang's mind.

"Your consciousness has reached the level of spiritual awareness?"

"Um!"

Cao Wang nodded, readily admitting it.

This is his bargaining chip for the Blissful Sect to protect him without hesitation.

Even the usually composed Su Meiniang couldn't hide the surprise on her face, as if she had seen a treasure.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about what happens next. Just leave it to the sect. You don't need to worry about the affairs of Zhao Kingdom."

Su Meiniang's deep eyes revealed a resolute look.

Hearing this, Cao Wang finally felt relieved.

Su Meiniang stood on the high platform and announced to everyone:

"Cao Wang has successfully challenged the 9th ranked Foundation Establishment cultivator and has now been included in the top 9 to participate in the upcoming competition for the top 4."

Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

Especially those of the Blissful Sect.

An outer disciple in the Qi Refining stage not only fought against a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, but was also a strong cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, capable of ranking among the top nine in the five major forces.

This will be a rising star.

The Blissful Sect will surely shine once again because of him.

At this moment, Cao Wang's status and position also rose sharply due to his performance just now.

He, who could only sit in the outer disciple area just now, was immediately invited to sit at the front of the inner disciples of the Blissful Sect, together with the Holy Maiden Chi Qinghe and the others.

Cao Wang had seen this woman before.

During the last outer sect competition, her personal Daoist partner was originally expected to win first place.

But he was pushed out by Cao Wang.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment as she looked at Cao Wang.

She hadn't recognized how such an amazing person had suddenly appeared in the outer sect. But now that he was right in front of her, she realized that the man in front of her was the young man who had competed with her partner for first place in the outer sect competition.

People naturally admire those who are strong.

Even though Chi Qinghe had harbored resentment towards Cao Wang before, it had completely vanished at this moment.

What surprised Cao Wang even more was that Zhou Chen, the Holy Maiden's personal Daoist partner, was also sitting here.

Seeing Cao Wang here at this moment completely shattered my worldview.

Cao Wang nodded slightly and looked at everyone, as if to greet them.

Then I found a seat at the very end and sat down.

"Brother Cao Wang, right?"

Si Chen, the leader of the Black Dragon Gate, immediately got up and came over to try and get closer to him.

Cao Wang, unaware of his identity, stood up and responded to him.

"Junior brother is an outer disciple?"

Si Chen sat down directly next to Cao Wang and asked him kindly.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Si Chen, the chief senior disciple of our inner sect, and also the sect leader of the Black Dragon Sect."

Upon hearing the man's identity, Cao Wang immediately raised an eyebrow.

He had already heard about the three main inner sects from Jiao San Niang.

This Si Chen is the person in charge of the Black Dragon Gate, to which Wang Long and Wang Shuai belong.

"I've heard of you."

Si Chen spoke as if they were old friends.

"You may not know, but there might be a small misunderstanding between us."

You know Wang Long and Wang Shuai, right?

Those two stole the magical artifact you obtained during the outer sect competition.

As their sect leader and senior brother, I would like to express my apologies to you.

Cao Wang was speechless.

He's a man who cares a lot about his reputation, and now that the other party is offering him a sweet treat right away, how is he supposed to proceed?

But then I thought about it again. Wang Long and Wang Shuai were already dead, and Cao Wang didn't have any direct grudges with the Black Dragon Gate.

Since the other party had said so, Cao Wang couldn't refuse to give them face.

At the same time, Tao Zhuozhuo, the leader of the Red Dragon Gate, also came over.

"You must be Cao Wang, the one my junior sister was talking about?"

"Who are you?"

Cao Wang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with some confusion, yet her face seemed somewhat familiar.

"Red Dragon Gate, peaches in full bloom."

Upon hearing the other party's background, Cao Wang immediately stood up and adopted a friendly expression:

"Cao Wang greets Senior Sister."

Si Chen's face darkened.

They are all inner disciples, and they are all sect leaders of the three major sects, so why is their treatment so different?

Tao Zhuozhuo glanced blankly at Si Chen and said, "This person has already joined our Red Dragon Sect. Senior Brother, you should save your worries."

"What?"

Si Chen's eyes widened immediately.

"He's just an outer disciple, how could he possibly join your Red Dragon Sect?"

"When he was in the outer sect, he had some grudges with Elder Hua."

He caught the eye of Elder Hua, who wanted to take him as a male concubine, but he refused, which made Elder Hua resentful.

In the end, it was my sister who led him to the Red Dragon Gate, which saved his life. Otherwise, how could we have such a talented junior brother now?

Upon hearing this, Si Chen's face darkened, and he awkwardly sat back down in his seat.

Hua Wujiu was their Black Dragon Sect's biggest supporter, and he knew the elder's character perfectly well. Now that this had happened, he had no face to try to win over Cao Wang anymore.

Cao Wang then sat down next to Tao Zhuozhuo and waited quietly.

Just then, the Holy Maiden Chi Qinghe also came over.

"Junior brother, how did you just kill that sixth prince of Zhao?"

This question immediately drew the attention of others, and everyone's eyes turned to look at it.

Cao Wang didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What are body cultivators most afraid of?"

Chi Qinghe blurted out, "Of course it's a mental attack."

Snapped!

Cao Wang snapped his fingers: "That's right, it's a mental attack."

Everyone looked at him in astonishment and asked, "But for divine sense to form an effective attack, it must at least reach the level of spiritual consciousness. How come you..."

At this point, everyone looked surprised again.

Chi Qinghe asked incredulously, "So, your divine sense has reached the realm of spiritual consciousness?"

Cao Wang nodded slightly, and everyone gasped in shock, falling silent and quietly taking their seats.

Comparisons are odious, and this blow was simply too much for them.

Soon, the nine people were called up to the stage again.

Su Meiniang announced: "Because one more person has been added to the top eight, after our discussion, one of the nine people will be drawn to receive a waiver. The person drawn will directly participate in the final battle."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately started discussing it.

"This is a huge benefit for players of average skill! They're guaranteed at least a third place."

"Yes, and it also saves a lot of physical and spiritual energy."

"However, I still think that Zhao Jingheng, the eldest prince of the Zhao royal family, who is the strongest, should directly accept the waiver of war."

"I think drawing lots is better, because there's a saying that luck is also a part of ability."

This decision was implemented regardless of how many people opposed it.

Soon, the nine people arrived at the altar. Looking at the nine bamboo sticks in the wooden tub, which were encased in an array, their contents were impenetrable even by spiritual power. Furthermore, the tub was made on the spot, eliminating any suspicion of cheating.

"Draw them out one by one from left to right," Zhao Xiaohe continued.

And standing in first place was Cao Wang, who was ranked last.
