Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1085: Chapter 1084: Begin! (3 updates!)

And after about the time it takes to burn one incense stick, many high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect finally appeared.

The Sect Master Su Han, Deputy Sect Master Su Yunming, Commander Hong Chen of the Bright Moon Divine Guard Regiment, Commander Liuyun of the Purple Night Divine Guard Regiment, Commander Xiao Yuran of the Holy Cold Divine Guard Regiment, Commander Xiao Yuhui of the Regiment of the Divine Guardians of the Dragon Suppression, Commander Shangguan Mingxin of the Starry Divine Guard Corps, Annihilation Army Leader Yuchen, Captain Bai Ling of the Blood God Army, Captain Xuanyuan Wuqing of the Shadow Army...

These people are the true high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect, or you could say, they are the top-level members at the forefront of the Phoenix Sect!

And those who are on equal footing with them are Oriental Han, the Mountain Lord of the Artifact God Mountain, Ling Qinghai, the Mountain Lord of the Artifact God Mountain, Purple Demon King Shen Li, God Slaying King Ling Xiao, First Elder Lian Yuze...

Ling Qinghai has always been in seclusion, and until now, he has not refined an Earth Nether Level pill.

He originally intended to remain in seclusion, but Su Han called him out. After all, a breakthrough isn’t urgent at the moment, and this grand event only happens once for now. Perhaps Ling Qinghai might gain enlightenment and suddenly break through at this event?

Ling Qinghai and Oriental Han, these two Alchemy and Artifact Refining Masters, are naturally very famous within the Phoenix Sect. In fact, their status, in some ways, is higher than that of the leaders of the Five Divine Guard Corps.

Because all the pills, weapons, and other supplies of the Phoenix Sect in the future will come from the hands of these two, it’s safe to say that a large part of the operation, maintenance, and enhancement of the Phoenix Sect will depend on them.

Some people are generally uninterested in the Martial Path but have a keen interest in artifact refining or alchemy. In such cases, they can try to see if they can become direct disciples of Ling Qinghai or Oriental Han.

Besides these top-level members, there are also some elders of the Phoenix Sect, as well as protectors and others.

Many people feel they cannot become direct disciples of the top-level leadership, so they lower their goals and focus on these second-echelon members.

Still, although they are second-echelon leaders, to become an elder or protector, one must at least be in the Dragon God Realm, and their strength in the Dragon God Realm is also very strong. It’s possible they’ll break through one day and reach the Dragon Emperor Realm. Becoming their direct disciple is still better than being an ordinary disciple or not being able to join the Phoenix Sect at all.

...

”Look, the high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect are coming out!”

”Is it finally starting?”

”That’s Shangguan Mingxin? My goddess, she’s truly beautiful and breathtaking!”

”What is Shangguan Mingxin compared to me? I plan to become Su Zun’s direct disciple!”

”My wish is to become the direct disciple of the Purple Demon King. It is said that the Purple Demon King reached the Peak of the Dragon God Realm long ago and is undoubtedly one of the most talented individuals in the Phoenix Sect. Though aged, he started cultivation late; otherwise, the Purple Demon King would already be at the Dragon Emperor Realm. If I can become his direct disciple, and the Purple Demon King breaks through in the future, I would have a Master at the Dragon Emperor Realm!” 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

”If we’re talking about talent, God Slaying King Ling Xiao has the strongest potential. Su Zun already stated that he possesses two special constitutions, making his cultivation remarkably terrifying. Su Zun himself is known for rapid cultivation gains, so there’s surely some truth to his statement. Who knows to what level his cultivation base has already reached.”

”The outside world claims that the Phoenix Sect still has no presence at the Dragon Emperor Realm, but I doubt that. It’s highly likely that the Phoenix Sect already has someone at the Dragon Emperor Realm, just waiting for an opportune moment to showcase their power.”

”That’s Liuyun! My male god!!!”

”Hehe, if I could become Elder Lian’s direct disciple, I could learn that necromancy magic and command corpses, turning the tide of entire battles on my own... Just the thought of it gets my blood boiling!”

”What you all mentioned is nothing. Artifact Refiners and Alchemists are the strongest professions. You all know the prestige of these two professions on the Dragon Martial Continent. With such aptitude, becoming an Artifact or Alchemy Grandmaster in the future means that spirit stones will be insignificant!”

...

After the high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect appeared, everyone preparing for the martial arts competition was excited.

Each person had a different choice. Some wanted to become direct disciples of Su Han, others wanted to become disciples of Shangguan Mingxin out of admiration, and others had a strong interest in artifact refining and alchemy, wanting to become disciples of Oriental Han and Ling Qinghai...

In the end, almost all the high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect were being discussed. Each of them had at least over 100,000 people wanting to become their direct disciple.

Listening to the discussions, even though the high-level members of the Phoenix Sect had calm expressions, the smile in their eyes was apparent. Clearly, they were very satisfied.

Thinking back to before joining the Phoenix Sect and looking at the present moment, people like Lian Yuze and Shangguan Mingxin felt wistful.

These top-level leaders, except for Ling Qinghai and Oriental Han, were almost all brought up by Su Han himself.

Their Martial Path aptitude couldn’t be considered strong at all. If not for Su Han, their current strength and status would definitely not be what they are now, even if they could cultivate.

If that were the case, perhaps they would be among the millions in front preparing to participate in the competition.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but stare at the white-robed man standing at the forefront of the crowd.

It was he who gave them everything they have now.

It was he who elevated the entire Phoenix Sect to its current status.

It was he, like a divine spirit, who made this small Phoenix Sect famous across the land in just ten short years.

No one else could possibly achieve this!

”Sect Master.”

Lian Yuze walked up to Su Han and said in a low voice, ”The time has come. We can begin.”

”Mm.”

Su Han nodded slightly, then looked into the distance, raising his hand and pressing it down gently.

Seeing this, the endless crowd immediately closed their mouths, the noise halting suddenly, leaving the entire venue in silence.

All eyes were on Su Han, waiting for him to speak.

”I am very honored that you all have come to participate in this great competition, recognizing the Phoenix Sect, recognizing our members here. We are all truly honored.”

”I’ll be brief — I believe you are all already familiar with the rules of this competition, but there is no need to be nervous. If you truly meet the conditions, even if you fail all three stages, you will still be selected.”

”I do not like to waste time. Too many words are useless. Thus, this competition... begins now!”

As the words fell, the eyes of many lit up and sparkled.

As for Su Han, he extended both hands, his figure crouching slightly, pressing his palms towards the ground with a sudden force!
