The Intense Heat of the Wang Family’s Internal Competition (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_3 He had been preparing for many years for this, and the odds of winning were certainly not small.

With a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, he immediately said, “Congratulations, mentor, on accepting a beloved disciple.”

Jiang Zhencang also encouraged him with a few words, but as for the rewards, he simply ignored them. To cultivate the future big shots of the Sacred Land, one had to save wherever possible.

Afterward, Enlightened One Tianhe and a group of young people all went up to pay their respects to Jiang Zhencang.

However, Jiang Zhencang’s main attention was on Wang Liyao, as he sized her up and said, “Liyao, have you had any serendipitous encounters recently? Your cultivation base seems to have increased quite rapidly.”

In his mind, Liyao was Yuxuan’s main rival. She was steady and measured, with formidable abilities, and it was very likely that Wang Shouzhe was behind her, offering strategic advice. Naturally, she posed a considerable threat compared to the other contenders.

If Wang Liyao were his disciple, naturally, there would be nothing to say; he would support her becoming the Saintess no matter what. Unfortunately, Tianhe had beaten him to the punch.

Without waiting for Liyao’s answer, Enlightened One Tianhe stepped in front of her and said with clasped hands, “Master Jiang, our Tianyi True Water Vein is rather poor, and Yao’er relies entirely on the Wang family’s resources for support, which is why her cultivation progresses so quickly.”

“It’s getting late, I need to take Yao’er back to our ‘Tianyi True Water Abode.’ My nephew, Enlightened One Tian Lang, is still waiting there. We take our leave.” With that, Enlightened One Tianhe swiftly flew off with Wang Liyao to the Tianyi True Water Vein’s Tianyi True Water Abode.

Seeing Tianhe’s guilty appearance, Jiang Zhencang frowned in contemplation. Liyao’s bloodline was probably not just Second Rate Supremacy; it was very likely that it had reached Grade A talent.

As for reaching the World’s Best level, the chances were slim.

Even if the Wang family was wealthy now, and Tianhe, the fanatic disciple protector, was desperately making money to support his disciple, it was improbable they could accrue the resources needed to elevate to the Unparalleled level in a short time. Most importantly, even with enough money, there wasn’t a way to purchase a real Eighth-grade Immortal Pill.

But even if she hadn’t reached the Unparalleled Heavenly Child status, Liyao was not easy to deal with. Her overall qualities were highly advantageous in the rivalry for the position of Saintess.

Well, never mind.

He should go back and train Yuxuan properly, to increase her chances.

This welcoming was naturally a small probe by each side.

In the meantime, little ripples of unrest began to emerge within the Lingyun Holy Ground.

Unwilling to return to Jinyang Peak and opting to reside at the Glass Bright King’s Hall instead, Enlightened One Yunyang, seeing Jiang Zhencang’s strong “preference,” and after hearing the gossip about Enlightened One Tianhe, finally couldn’t help but start forming alliances.

To ensure that his many years of effort were not in vain, and for the big girl Licui, Enlightened One Yunyang visited every peak, hall, and vein, and finally, he made up his mind to go to Jinyang Peak to see Enlightened One Lang Ya.

No one knew what exactly was discussed between him and Lang Ya, but the masters of the various veins within Lingyun Holy Ground began to jointly “petition,” requesting that Master Jiang start the competition for Sacred Master earlier.

The timing for the competition wasn’t too strict; it could start anytime as long as everyone gathered within a certain period.

This infuriated Jiang Zhencang. Among all the candidates for the competition, his disciple Wang Yingxuan was the youngest. If he could delay it for a few more decades, allowing Yuxuan to go study at the Immortal Palace for a while, her odds would be even greater.

However, Jiang Zhencang thought again and realized that starting earlier might not necessarily be a bad thing.

The competition for Sacred Master had its special rules and was not a simple matter of one-on-one fights.

After all, every competition had candidates of varying ages, with varying levels of cultivation realms. Winning a duel simply based on fighting strength did not meet the need to select the best Sacred Master or Saintess.

Jiang Zhencang already saw that Wang Shouzhe was supporting his daughter more than his granddaughter. If he delayed for a few more decades, given Shouzhe’s elusive ways, it was quite possible that he could elevate Liyao to the Unparalleled level.

And if Liyao was excellent, wasn’t she not his disciple?

Taking advantage of the fact that Yuxuan had an edge in bloodline talent, starting the competition for Sacred Master early also offered a sizable advantage. The rank of bloodline talent played a significant role in the final evaluation criteria.

While the internal affairs of the Sacred Land were in disarray, pushing for the commencement of the competition for Sacred Master, In Green Emperor Valley, within Evergreen Garden.

Within that colorful and cool pavilion, Wang Shouzhe and Yao Chengchao were drinking tea and chatting. Also in attendance were Wang Ningxi and Wang Licui.

“Master Shouzhe,” Yao Chengchao seemed to be holding back a fire, “The whole chain of events is just as I described. Though indeed, there are mistakes on the part of our internal personnel, your niece Licui, she, she… it’s too much, she’s bullying people too badly. This time, you have to stand up for me.”

As soon as the matter came up, Yao Chengchao’s nose soured, as he felt a rush of tears he couldn’t stop. Compared to the last time he was bullied by Emperor Longchang, he felt even more aggrieved.

Wang Licui, on the other hand, sat prettily next to Wang Shouzhe, her eyes wide with an innocent look, while the Little Green Snake peeked its head out of her sleeve, eyeing Wang Shouzhe with a discerning gaze.

Was this the Great Demon King Fourth Uncle that Licui the witch always feared?

Heh, this Ancestor Dragon didn’t believe it. This human, with his utterly “ordinary” appearance, what made him fiercer than Licui the witch?

The Ancestor Dragon would like to see, “Ningxi, what do you say?” Wang Shouzhe didn’t directly answer Yao Chengchao, instead, he calmly sipped his tea.
