Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 446 - 164 So, I Can’t Be With You, It’s Hurting You_3
All the major sects of the Nine Provinces had a profound understanding of Cultivation and wanted to use this opportunity to invest and form good relationships.
Thus, they would not be stingy.
In the following days, Wang Mu watched the battles. After observing for some time, he realized that these individuals indeed hadn’t brought out everything they had.
But it was right not to reveal everything.
If they had, it was still uncertain whether they could beat him, and their ranks might be challenged afterward.
That would be disastrous.
The most famous incident was the second battle where Mo Yuan challenged Yu Tianshu, forcefully taking second place.
This angered Yu Tianshu so much that he cursed loudly on the spot.
Wang Mu realized right away that these individuals must have agreed on something, but Mo Yuan changed his mind at the last minute and stole the position like a thief.
「It was not until several days later that the rankings were finalized.」
Apart from Wang Mu, the top ten were still dominated by Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators from all over the Nine Provinces.
Moreover, Dantai Shaoyu almost made it into the top ten.
If not for Wang Mu’s appearance, Dantai Shaoyu, a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator, would have been the dark horse who nearly broke into the top ten, making quite a splash in this Heavenly Pride Tournament.
「After the Heavenly Pride Tournament, the final stage was the Ancient and Modern Discourse.」
Each time during the Ancient and Modern Discourse, the top sects participating in this grand event would nominate a high-ranking member from their sect to mentor many young prodigies.
This was also one of the rare opportunities for many young talents to learn some profound Secret Techniques from other sects.
And it was direct transmission.
As Heavenly Prides, future figures to be courted by various major sects, if they could learn their own sect’s Skills and form good relationships, how could they not help if their sect faced difficulties?
Basically, those who could earn a reputable position on the Heavenly Pride Rank had already gained a certain degree of friendship from many sect powers.
Huangtian Continent’s Shangxiao Sword Sect; Qianzhou’s Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect and Fentian Temple; Ling Province’s Riding Phoenix Clan and Qingqiu Mountain; Xilu Land’s Realm King Sect; the Great Wilderness’s Ancient Desolation Sect; Sky Sea Continent’s Shenle Temple and Ancient Zen Temple; and Jia Continent’s Tianji Sect.
And the host, Dan King Sect.
There were also a few top-tier sects that couldn’t send delegates due to other commitments.
For example, Fengyue Sect reportedly closed its doors several months prior without sending senior members; only many disciples who found it interesting came to watch the battles.
Some special forces, such as Bibo Sea Sealing God Mountain, not being a traditional sect system, only sent some Spirit beasts to watch in the past for fun. But this time, Sealing God Mountain also reportedly closed, and not a single Spirit beast was sent.
As a grand event in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World, not all would attend.
After the end of the Heavenly Pride Tournament, Wang Mu looked around and decided to focus on Fentian Temple.
The reason was simple.
Given the condition inside his body, even a small droplet could condense into a Golden Core.
Thus, the True Yang Star Flame should also be able to condense a Golden Core, as his third Golden Core.
However, he lacked the corresponding Cultivation Skill for the Fire Element.
Fentian Temple, known for specializing in the Fire Element, was a Cultivation Sect he had visited previously on its Holy Mountain when buying the Flying Immortal Couple Skirt for Mu Hongyuan.
This Fentian Temple surely possessed profound Skills for Cultivating flames.
Going forward, he could gradually condense other Golden Cores.
As Wang Mu estimated, the Seven Emotions Sword Heart corresponding to the Sword Dao Golden Core would likely be the toughest to condense.
As for body refining, the Divine Demon Body requires entry into both Buddhist and demon realms... rigorously cultivate profound Buddhist techniques... um...
On the front of body refining, the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique was already complete.
Ordinary body refining methods could hardly catch his interest now.
As an advanced stage of the body refining Divine Skill created by the Sea Demon King for the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, this method was definitely formidable.
Even Miss You said that this technique was not inferior to her Heavenly Snake Nine Transformations.
It was just that the Cultivation conditions were extremely strict.
A slight carelessness, and one might suffer a disastrous outcome.
However, right now his Body Cultivation was overly powerful, so he could first condense a few more Golden Cores without haste.
To be honest, in the battle with Chen Huang, Wang Mu felt that the potential of his body hadn’t fully erupted yet.
「A few days later, the third stage of the Heavenly Pride Gathering: the Ancient and Modern Discourse.」
The Ancient and Modern Discourse, the climax of the Heavenly Pride Gathering, featured the current Heavenly Prides discussing with several-hundred-year-old, deeply cultivated cultivators. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
In fact, while officially billed as mentoring, many extraordinary phenomena would appear.
For example, during the last event, the top ranker Gu Yuqing discussed with the Demon Suppressing Buddha of the Dazang Buddha Sect. Merely with the concept of emotion, they deliberated for three days and nights. Finally, Gu Yuqing, enveloped in a halo, posed a question: "Having emotions is emptiness; lacking emotions is also emptiness. By transforming lack of emotion into emotion, why can’t one achieve Buddhahood?" This statement won Gu Yuqing a shower of divine Buddhist light, startling the entire assembly at that time.
Of course, such instances are rare; most of the time, seniors would give guidance to juniors, imparting some Secret Techniques.
Only a few Heavenly Prides would experience sudden enlightenment during the discourse, leading to heavenly phenomena. These phenomena might result in a significant increase in their Cultivation, a divine-like Taoist Heart, their Primordial Spirit manifesting forms and generating various Divine Skills, and so on.
Regardless, at its core, the Ancient and Modern Discourse is a test of the enlightenment of the Heavenly Prides’ Taoist Hearts, guided and taught by seniors in an equal dialogue.
Even many seniors, while discussing with juniors, might also have a rare chance of gaining Bright Enlightenment. This could lead to them achieving a Breakthrough in an instant.
Of course, this scenario is the most uncommon.
And in this Ancient and Modern Discourse, the most famous figure was naturally the old ancestor from Dan King Sect making his appearance.
In the history of the Heavenly Pride Gatherings, it was quite unlikely for an Ascension Realm old ancestor to appear.
If there were any, they were usually newly advanced Ascension Realm cultivators appearing to boost their fame and give some guidance to the juniors.
