At the foot of Tian Shou Mountain, the Hot Spring Residence
Chief Sky-listener of the Competition Soul Alliance was standing by the spring pool, his eyes gazing at the constantly rising white steam.
He had been standing there alone for a long time, and some of the strongest Level 10 title-holders from the major powers didn’t dare to disturb them without permission.
At this time, there were about fifty Level 10 title-holders from the major powers. These people were in the courtyard as if waiting for something.
“Brother Yu Shang, another ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you’re already getting old!” A man with white hair and beard who looked about fifty years old said with a chuckle.
Lord Yu glanced at the smiling man and also showed a rare smile on his face. He teased: “Lord Lin, can’t you make it in the eastern world, so you came back to World City to retire?”
“Nonsense, I haven’t reached the age of retirement yet. My soul pets are as vigorous as I am. This time, I’ve come to aim for the World Throne nomination!” The man called Lord Lin said solemnly.
“So it was for this matter; then you’re early. The World’s Chosen Competition among the younger generation hasn’t even ended yet. Speaking of which, Lord Lin, didn’t you say you were going to compete for one of the four seats?” Lord Yu laughed.
Lord Lin immediately showed a somewhat embarrassed look and laughed: “There’s no hope for me this decade. Not long ago, I fought against the fourth-ranked Sky-listener, and he defeated me with only his main pet…”
Lord Yu was startled, and then his eyes showed a few hints of surprise.
There are three levels to the position of Soul Hall palace master, which are the first, second, and third palace masters.
Lord Yu was previously called ‘Great Lord Yu,’ which was just an honorific for his position as the main palace master of Soul Hall – he was merely a third palace master.
There is a certain hierarchy to the strength of the three levels of palace master. Generally speaking, the strength of a third palace master is equivalent to that of a World Lord.
The elder-looking man in front of Yu Shang was none other than the great palace master of Soul Hall. His position was second only to the Soul Hall elder, and his strength was much greater than that of World Lord. Such a powerful person is indeed fully qualified to compete for the nomination to the World Throne.
However, what Yu Shang didn’t expect was that Lord Lin would lose so miserably in his battle against the Sky-listener!
There are four seats below the throne, held by the four most powerful people just below the king. These four seats are occupied by the strongest from Soul Covenant, Nightmare Demon Palace, Soul Hall, and Soul Pet Palace. These four are also the so-called highest chiefs of the entire World Decree Competition, hosting the overall situation.
Soul Alliance’s Tian Ting has a high status in World City and is just below the king. His strength is even several levels higher than these Level 10 title-holders.
Facing such a powerhouse, no one dares to show disrespect!
“Lord Sky Listener!”
“Chief Sky Listener!”
During the conversation, the first of the four seats, the Sky Listener, slowly turned around, his eyes sweeping across the representatives of the Level 10 title-holders from the various major powers.
The Sky Listener has an extremely high position in World City, and is indeed deemed to be above everyone else. Moreover, his actual strength is far superior to those Level 10 title-holders.
No one dared to show any disrespect in front of such a powerhouse!
“In recent years, there have been many blood scarcities. As you all probably already know, scholars predict that in the coming years, there will be another outbreak of Zhehuang, more severe than the one two years ago. It will affect four realms: West Region, Zhanli Realm, Luo Realm, and North Ice Realm. The West Region is governed by the Nightmare Demon Palace, where is Master He?” said Tian Ting.
“Nightmare Demon Palace Master Bai Shuo, I have seen Chief of Sky Listening.” A man who looked to be in his thirties stood up.
This man seemed not much older than the first-tier young generation and appeared somewhat unique among the middle-aged generation of palace masters.
“Bai Shuo, this kid has come to World City to take up the post.” Lord Lin whispered to Lord Yu.
Bai Shuo was an outstanding talent of the Nightmare Demon Palace, second only to the Soul Hall’s Crown Prince in fame. He had become the main palace master of the Nightmare Demon Palace at a young age and was on equal footing with Lord Yu!
Bai Shuo was the youngest among the Level 10 title-holders, and many people even predicted that Bai Shuo would definitely be on the list for either the nomination or the four seats in the next decade.
“Order the regional lords of West Region and North Ice Realm, which are under the jurisdiction of your Nightmare Demon Palace, to distribute the news to the city lords of each city in the region. Make advance preparations for defense, troop summoning, and refuge to sufficiently resist the coming Zhehuang.” Sky Listener said.
After saying that, Sky Listener told the same words to the Soul Hall, which governs Zhanli Realm, and the Soul Pet Palace-related staff who govern the Luo Realm.
The responsibility of defending Zhanli Realm against Zhehuang fell on Palace Master Yu, who would likely have to go to Zhanli Realm once more when Zhehuang arrived.
“Next is the matter of the nomination in ten years. Prince Li Hong is currently dealing with a difficult issue, and I will pass it on his behalf.” Sky Listener said.
As he spoke, the other three Chief Sky Listeners also came and stood beside him.
“The hidden danger of Zhehuang has been around for a long time and must be contained. For this ten-year nomination, Zhehuang will be the main theme. We will give everyone two years. During these two years, you can enter the Ten Thousand Broken Sting Valley at any time. Retrieving the skull of a Ten-winged Sky Demon Insect will grant you the initial qualification for nomination.” Sky Listener said.
As soon as these words came out, the fifty Level 10 Title-holders present were all in an uproar!
A Ten-winged Sky Demon Insect is a low-grade Emperor Level!!
Killing a low-grade Emperor-level soul pet is already very difficult for them, not to mention that an Emperor-level soul pet often leads tens of thousands of Sky Demon Insects!
In other words, to kill a Ten-winged Sky Demon Insect, one not only needs to possess a low-grade Emperor-level soul pet, but also needs the ability to withstand the Sky Demon Insect army below the Emperor level. Moreover, the combat power of these Sky Demon Insect armies is no less inferior to that of an Emperor’s power!!
“Aren’t you trying to take my old life!” Palace Master Lin exclaimed.
Emperor-level Sky Demon Insects only appear during the Zhehuang period. Ten Thousand Broken Sting Valley is already a graveyard for strong ones. Forcing them to enter and kill an Emperor-level Sky Demon Insect is simply a death sentence for their soul pets!
The other Level 10 Title-holders were also shocked, as they obviously didn’t expect the initial qualifications for nomination to be so difficult!!
“This is the intention of Prince Li Hong. Although the difficulty is a bit higher, it is not impossible to complete. Of course, there are other ways to obtain the initial qualifications, and this is just one of them. Ten Thousand Broken Sting Valley is a major hidden danger in our world. I personally still hope that those with strength will take the Emperor-level Sky Demon Insect as their target. On the one hand, it will save the people of the four major Earth Realms, and on the other hand, it will be a test for you.” The Soul Hall Elder Ting spoke in a calm tone.
Compared to Sky Listener’s serious tone, the words of Elder Ting of the Soul Hall were much gentler, as this seat holder was obviously an old man with a good temper.
“After the end of the World’s Chosen Competition, the strong ones selected in the first and second tiers will also be assigned to the major cities in the four major Earth Realms, which may be severely affected before Zhehuang’s arrival. They will be responsible for destroying the Eight-winged Sky Demon Worms and Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs. This will be announced after the end of the World’s Chosen Competition.” Elder Hai Qiu of the Soul Pet Palace spoke.
At this point, everyone had no choice but to accept, although there were still many sighs.
After explaining these two matters, Sky Listener let everyone disperse.
As the Level 10 Title-holders of various factions left, they all discussed the matter. They had already heard about Zhehuang, but they didn’t expect that even the struggle for the Throne of the World would also be related to it.
…
After everyone left, an old man with white hair but who looked no different from a middle-aged person walked out.
This man had deep wrinkles on his temples and had apparently lived for many years. However, he didn’t give off any feeling of frailty or weakness; instead, he was solemn and deep.
Seeing this old man come out, Elder Ting of the Soul Hall was taken aback and hurriedly saluted: “Elder!”
The supreme authority of the Soul Hall, the Elder!
The Elders in the Soul Hall hardly ever get involved in any matters. They would only make key decisions for the Soul Hall after major events occurred!
Seeing Elder Ting salute, the old man with white hair nodded, then waved his hand, signaling Elder Ting, Ye Tao, and Hai Qiu to retreat.
Elder Ting, Ye Tao, and Hai Qiu, being the three seats under the king, even Ye Tao, the Nightmare Demon Palace Elder who was hostile to the Soul Hall, did not dare to show any arrogance when he saw this Elder of the Soul Hall. Silently, he withdrew to the outside of the courtyard.
“Elder, have you been in the World City all this time?” Sky Listener asked the Soul Hall Elder with a curious look.
“For some time now.” said the Elder.
“Then why didn’t you tell Li Hong and me to come directly, instead of appearing personally? Besides, don’t you fear that the young generation of Sky Listeners like me are too proud and arrogant to take action before the World’s Chosen Competition?” Sky Listener asked in a strange tone.
“If you want to take action, I can’t stop you. But not everyone will be as considerate as I am, an old man. I just don’t want to intensify the conflict.” The Elder said.
“We’ve been waiting for years and it won’t hurt to wait for another month. I hope the Elder will give me an explanation when the time comes.” Sky Listener’s tone became much lighter.
