Chapter 403: Chapter 401: Don’t You Know Yourselves? (30 updates!)

Items of the Holy Spirit Level, even within a Super Sect, are extremely precious.

For Pseudo-Emperors like Jin Lan and Duanmu Lin, the items they use are merely Low-Grade Holy Spirit Level items, and only limited to that grade.

At this stage, just as a Martial Artist progresses from the Dragon God Realm to the Dragon Emperor Realm, and from the Dragon Emperor Realm to the Dragon Venerate Realm, each level poses a challenge as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Mid-Grade Holy Spirit Level items, if not stumbled upon by these Pseudo-Emperors themselves, wouldn’t even qualify to be granted by their Sect.

Only those true Prodigies of Heaven, like Dao Ye from the Jade Void Palace back then, might be assigned such items.

But even that is just an assignment.

Being assigned does not mean possession.

Assignment merely means temporarily holding this Holy Spirit Level item. If one fails to make significant contributions later, or say, fails to make better use of this Holy Spirit Level item, it will just as likely be taken back.

Of all the Prodigies of Heaven who entered the Gate of Deer Chasing, Su Han only saw Holy Spirit Level items from Dao Ye.

Neither Liushui Wuhen nor Duanmu Ci had any.

Thus, overall, even those Prodigies of Heaven, and even those at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, are extremely envious of such items, let alone ordinary disciples.

Apart from One Slash Palace, the disciples from the other nine Sects had almost all returned from the depths of Mountain of the Divine Medicine to its entrance in this nearly one-month period.

For them, although the Divine Refining Herb, or rather the first prize of this grand contest, is important, it lacks the importance of the Holy Spirit Level items.

Their appearance caused frowns to form on the foreheads of all the major Sect leaders present on the outside platform, including the Eastern Ancestor.

Through the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, one could see figures swiftly returning here.

They had spent a month traveling to the depths and now, another month returning; a total of two months had already been exhausted with just the round trip.

And the duration of the grand contest is only six months.

“What do you think?”

The Eastern Ancestor looked at the leaders of the Sects and said indifferently, “This old man can confirm that the treasure that has just emerged is definitely above the Holy Spirit Level, and might even be a Mid-Grade Holy Spirit Level item. Aside from One Slash Palace, all the disciples, totaling two hundred seventy thousand, have wasted two whole months just for this treasure.”

“If they can obtain this item, these two months would naturally not be wasted. But if not…” Duanmu Lin furrowed his brows.

Liushui Kuanghan scoffed directly, “Truly a bunch of fools. If they could win first place, they would obtain the Dao Lineage of the Eastern Ancestor. Compared to the inheritance of the Eastern Ancestor, what is a Holy Spirit Level item, really!”

“Don’t speak like that. The inheritance of this old man, although decent, cannot surpass the item, and is merely comparable to it,” the Eastern Ancestor said, shaking his head.

Everyone understood he was merely downplaying it.

The cultivation base of the Eastern Ancestor, thousands of years ago, was already capable of venturing deep into the Mountain of the Divine Medicine. His true body has even been in closed-door cultivation for ten thousand years. To this day, it’s unknown what realm he has attained.

Among all the strong practitioners on the Dragon Martial Continent, the Eastern Ancestor is a name that ranks among them. Perhaps he hasn’t reached the Dragon Venerate Realm, but at least within the Dragon Emperor Realm, he has achieved a tremendously terrifying level of skill!

Compared to the inheritance of such a super strong practitioner, what significance would a Holy Spirit Level item hold?

Moreover, for two hundred seventy thousand people to vie for such an item is truly too foolish!

Even if one were to step back, not contemplating the twenty-seven thousand individuals but rather considering the sects, it was indeed nine sects—Nine-Tenths of the sects involved in this grand competition desired to snatch the prize.

The probability of obtaining it was simply too minuscule.

Key artifacts of the Holy Spirit-Level have their own spirit. If they decide not to accept a master and instead flee afar, then it is very likely that none of the disciples will obtain anything!

Once they fail to acquire the artifact, having wasted two months, and have handed over the opportunity to acquire the Divine Refining Herb to One Slash Palace, that would truly be a case of losing a wife and an army.

“One Slash Palace, you do not care about this Holy Spirit-Level artifact?”

Eastern Ancestor looked towards the platform where One Slash Palace was seated and said with a light laugh, “Although my Divine Sense cannot penetrate, my eyes can see that not a single disciple from One Slash Palace has returned.”

“As for the artifact of Holy Spirit-Level, let alone those disciples, even I am extremely concerned about it.”

At the platform of One Slash Palace, a middle-aged man dressed in white robes, his face bearing an imposing demeanor, spoke, “But relatively speaking, perhaps what they are more concerned about is your inheritance, Eastern Ancestor.”

Eastern Ancestor did not speak again, but his opinion of One Slash Palace truly elevated somewhat.

With as many as thirty thousand disciples in One Slash Palace, none appeared to have returned amidst the temptations of the Holy Spirit-Level artifact. Their resolute mindset, decisive character, and the unified solidarity were surely traits that other sects lacked.

Perhaps it was because of these qualities that One Slash Palace, like a dazzling new star, burst through the heavens and emerged, eventually taking its place among the Super Sects.

Perhaps it was because the cultivation techniques they practiced subtly influenced their mindset.

“The people of One Slash Palace do raise my curiosity about Dongfang Mingli!” Eastern Ancestor murmured as if speaking to himself yet also seemingly addressing the people of One Slash Palace.

Upon hearing the four words ‘Dongfang Mingli,’ the middle-aged man’s expression immediately became respectful and filled with endless admiration and veneration.

He slightly bowed to Eastern Ancestor and said, “The Grand Ancestor has been in closed-door cultivation for many years. If there’s a chance, he would likely meet you.”

“There will be an opportunity.”

Eastern Ancestor sighed softly, his gaze lifting to the void where the relentless heavy snow seemed to fall endlessly.

“This heavy snow has been falling for nearly two years now… When it stops, that will be the time I meet Dongfang Mingli.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man shuddered, as did the other sect leaders, their eyes filled with disbelief.

“Eastern Ancestor, with your profound cultivation base, do you know why this heavy snow covers the entire Dragon Martial Continent, making it perpetually winter and eradicating the four seasons?” someone asked.

Eastern Ancestor looked into the void, his eyes bursting with a bright yet profound and dark color.

“Dragon Martial faced a calamity of thirty million, and there was no snowfall before you sects went to the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain. Why is it, do you not know yourselves?” he questioned.

At this moment, Eastern Ancestor’s gaze became sharp as he looked towards Sword Immortal Tomb’s Duanmu Lin, then to Giant Island’s Liushui Kuanghan, as well as Jade Void Palace and Sect of the Battle God.

These four Super Sects were the ones that went to the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain that day!

Under Eastern Ancestor’s gaze, individuals like Liushui Kuanghan felt a constriction in their bodies; despite being at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, they still felt as if they were contending against the heavens.

At the same realm, yet the strength of this avatar of Eastern Ancestor far exceeded theirs by too much.
