System's Super Sect-Chapter 657 - 654, Rookie Battle Begins!

Following that, Wen Ping focused his spiritual power on the Profound Mystery High-grade Technique within the Storage Ring.

"Guiyuan Technique," Profound Mystery High-grade Technique.

In terms of cultivation technique level and difficulty of practice, Wen Ping felt it was far inferior compared to his own Changmo Technique.

The only aspect of the Guiyuan Technique that caught Wen Ping’s interest was its special characteristics.

Practicing the Guiyuan Technique, one could increase the speed of Vein Technique condensation as levels deepen, while significantly enhancing strength and speed. Whether it’s the former or the latter, Wen Ping felt they’re decent enough, usable.

If not for the Changmo Technique being restricted to the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, Wen Ping considered giving it to his father.

"System, according to your database, where does this Guiyuan Technique rank among the Profound Level Upper Grade cultivation techniques?"

"In the Heaven and Earth Lake, it’s considered superior, a rarity. The only techniques of better quality are those secret techniques from some Four-star Giant Influences."

"Then it’s decent enough."

Wen Ping sighed.

In fact, it was just Wen Ping feeling it was okay. If those Four-star Influence leaders who desperately scrambled for it heard him say it’s ’decent enough,’ or if a Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression heard it, they would secretly curse Wen Ping for being boastful.

Many Mountain Suppression Realm cultivation techniques are inferior to the Guiyuan Technique.

How many Mountain Suppression Realms yearn for a Profound Level Upper Grade technique.

Wen Ping asked again, "By the way, system, what rank does the Guiyuan Technique hold in Heaven-Gazing Gorge?"

"Based on my data, it’s still a top technique. Because in Heaven-Gazing Gorge, there aren’t many Earth-level techniques. The existing ones are all controlled by Five-star Influences."

"Is there a possibility for the Guiyuan Technique to upgrade to Earth-level through the Nirvana House?"

"Yes. However, the host may need to upgrade the Nirvana House several times continuously."

"That’s only natural. Even if it weren’t for my father, the Nirvana House would still need its level upgraded. Currently, the highest upgrade available for the Nirvana House is to Profound Level Upper Grade. I’ve long thought that it’s best if every sect disciple could foster Earth-level cultivation techniques."

Since the Guiyuan Technique can be upgraded to Earth-level through the Nirvana House, Wen Ping’s satisfaction with it suddenly increased significantly.

Not being able to obtain an Earth-level technique for his father now isn’t critical; he’ll just have his father return to the Immortal Sect later to upgrade its level.

Wen Ping collected his thoughts and was about to bid farewell to Li Bao.

However, just as he stepped forward, he suddenly stopped.

Li Bao was sharp-eyed and quickly asked, "Master, anything else you require assistance with?"

Wen Ping replied, "Yes... Did you sell the Three-Vortex Vortex Map you were toying with a few days ago?"

"It was just sold. Regarding the Three-Vortex Vortex Map, it might only appear once a year, so if you want to purchase it, I may not be able to help." Each Three-spin Vortex Divine Artisan is supported by Four-star Giant Influences, making their works rarely available. Occasionally, when a Three-Vortex Vortex Map does appear, as soon as the news is out, it’s gone immediately.

Wen Ping said, "Then I’ll buy a few Two-Vortex Vortex Maps."

Since the last time he sold vortex maps in Cloud Sea City, Wen Ping hasn’t made significant White Crystal profits from selling vortex maps.

On reflection, even a single improved vortex map could fetch hundreds of White Crystals.

Upon returning from this expedition, upgrading the sect buildings is urgent, hence he should gather as much White Crystal as possible.

As to why Wen Ping didn’t let Zi Ran do it but considered buying them instead.

The reason is simple.

The once-in-a-century grand event requires leaving some time for Zi Ran.

Although Zi Ran is a sect elder and has the duty and responsibility to complete assigned tasks, Wen Ping still understands how to care for his subordinates.

Li Bao replied, "There are still Two-Vortex Vortex Maps available from our firm. May I ask how many you need, Master?"

"Hold on."

Responding to Li Bao’s request, Wen Ping immediately asked the system in his heart, "System, I haven’t sold any Two-Vortex Vortex Maps over the past few months. Can they be accumulated?"

The rule for transformed Two-Vortex Vortex Maps is one can be released every seven days.

If only a single vortex map were sold this time, it would net only a few hundred White Crystals.

While not small, it’s not a lot either.

The system responded, "You can accumulate up to one month’s worth."

"Four maps, that’ll do."

A smile immediately appeared on Wen Ping’s lips, and he gestured four fingers to Li Bao, saying, "I want four maps."

"The highest quality Two-Vortex Vortex Map from our firm costs 700 White Crystals each. Four maps would be 3200 White Crystals." Li Bao replied with a smile.

It was his first time seeing someone asking for four vortex maps all at once.

This transaction is quite significant!

Wen Ping replied, "Yes, please get them for me."

...

After purchasing the four Two-Vortex Vortex Maps, Wen Ping returned to his residence.

Upon returning, it was already dawn, as Vast City embarked on a new peak of fervor.

The first event of the once-in-a-century festivity—the Newcomer Battle commenced!

All the newcomers were now heading towards the square where the opening ceremony was held last night.

In the center of the square, a massive vortex stood—that was the passage to the Secret Realm.

Due to Zi Ran needing to craft the Three-Vortex Vortex Map, and H Lan having work at the Hundred Sects Alliance, Wen Ping entered the secret realm of Newcomer Battle alone with Huai Ye and others.

This Secret Realm seemed precisely prepared for the Newcomer Battle.

In the sky, floating islands nearly 20 meters high were everywhere. Each three floating islands formed a circle. The center of the circle was naturally the battleground for this battle. In between the floating islands, there were iron chain bridges intended to facilitate spectators’ movement to desired viewing spots.

No need for further explanation.

After Wen Ping retracted his gaze, he heard the booming voice announcing the rules of the Newcomer Battle echo throughout the secret realm.

The loud sound rolled forth, covering the entire secret realm.

At this moment, Wen Ping scanned his surroundings, seeking the first opponent for the Immortal Sect.

"Sect Leader."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Wen Ping turned to look; among the crowd behind him, a little guy was waving his hand.

It was Bainian Xiang!

"Coming through... coming through." Bainian Xiang squeezed his way forward.

"Nian Xiang."

Huai Ye and the others called her name and welcomed her.

Wen Ping noticed that there were four people beside Bainian Xiang, both male and female.

Two Upper Profound Realms, two Middle Profound Realms.

Glancing around, it was evident this was a high-quality team, led by two Upper Profound Realms, effectively ensuring no defeat. It seemed Bainian Xiang’s father intended for his daughter to advance.

Bainian Xiang smiled as she ran over and asked, "Sect Leader, have you chosen the challenge team yet?"

"We’ll see. What about you, Nian Xiang?"

Wen Ping noticed that Bu Ling had personally come that day to help her select a challenge team.

Bainian Xiang replied, "Not yet. But Uncle Bu suggested finding a team entirely of Middle Profound Realm is the safest choice. Or selecting a team with only one Upper Profound Realm, as the points are evaluated based on the strongest member of the team."

"Well, that’s a decent strategy," Wen Ping replied.

After Bainian Xiang shared her preparation strategy, she quickly asked, "Sect Leader, what about the world of Huai Ye? How do you plan to arrange them?"

She was genuinely curious about what the Sect Leader intended for Senior Sister Huai Ye and the others in the Newcomer Battle.

Wen Ping glanced around, his face filled with the bewilderment of having no particular goal, then he thoughtfully said, "Let’s start by challenging a team ranked within the top 1000 newcomers and see how long it takes to finish the battle. Then gradually select higher ranks."

"Understood. Senior Sister Huai Ye... You guys do your best, I’ll return for now." Bainian Xiang gleefully couldn’t stop smiling.

She knew the Sect Leader wouldn’t take things lightly.

Starting with a team ranked within the top 1000 newcomers.

Formidable!

Sister Wen Meng and the others wouldn’t dare do that.

"Yes, Sister Nian Xiang, good luck."

"Good luck!"

They waved goodbye to Bainian Xiang.

Meanwhile, Wen Ping turned to glance at the surrounding teams, but suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at him.

Not just the surrounding people, but even Bu Ling, who was dozens of steps away, glanced over.

It seemed as if they heard something remarkable.
