Chapter 4,247: Gathering of Geniuses

bout how to compensate Daqiang and Auntie Zihan," said Ye Bufan. "Auntie Zihan hasn't gotten married in so many years, I assume she still hasn't forgotten you. It won't be easy to get their forgivenes...Ye Bufan smiled and nodded. "Of course."

"That's great, thank you, little junior brother."

Ning Cailing was overjoyed, and Jin Sanyuan also revealed a rare smile.

"Alright, you two practice at home. It's almost time. I'll take Xiao Fan to the assessment for the Holy Spirit Conference."

Ku Su Zi left the "Controlling Heaven and Earth Manual" for his two apprentices to cultivate. He then headed with Ye Bufan to the location where they had previously registered.

When the two of them arrived, the foot of the mountain was already packed with people. Some came with their sect disciples to participate in the assessment, while others came specifically to watch the excitement.

In contrast, Ye Bufan and the other two were a little too few. Everyone else treated them as spectators, not paying any attention to them at all.

In contrast, the large groups of hundreds of people arriving here are incredibly noticeable.

Soon, Granny Dragon arrived with the disciples of Ziyue Mountain. Yun Qianyin came with a group of disciples from Piaoxiang Valley as well.

"Young Master…"

"Brother Ye..."

Xuan Yuan Linglong and Yu Hua Ling began searching from afar, and after seeing Ye Bufan, they immediately rushed over, which attracted countless eyes.

Just a brief greeting, and then, since the two represented their respective sects, he sent them back.

Then two more major sects arrived, namely Dongyue Sect and Heishasha Island.

These two forces are definitely top-tier in the first chaotic holy realm, their status is not inferior to that of Purple Moon Mountain at all, even stronger than Fragrance Valley.

Dong Yuezong was led by the Great Elder, Gong Taikang, a powerhouse at the rank of Emperor Yuan's Eighth Level.

Pingsha Island is an old woman with white hair. Compared to the Dragon Lady, she is much more introverted and doesn't seem as domineering.

The old woman's name is Rongfu, and she is extremely powerful, having reached the ninth rank of Emperor Yuan. Previously, she had built up their family business on Pingsha Island with her husband.

Later, when the island owner died unexpectedly, she became the head of Pingsha Island.

Gong Taikang wore a wide-sleeved robe, looking extremely arrogant.

Coming here, he nodded to Dragon Grandma and Yun Qianyin. Then, at a glance, he saw Kusuzi in the corner, a sneer playing on his face.

"Aren't you the old geezer What brings you here Come to watch the spectacle, is that it At your age, what do you see in this It's been years, and none of your disciples are capable of taking the assessment."

Ye Bufan's heart moved. It was obvious that this old man had a deep connection to himself...

One's own master not only knew each other, but also had a deep hostility.

Kù Xū Zi hunched his body and gave a humble smile: "There's no way around it, the sect is too small, so we apologize for the lack of grandeur. However, this time I also brought a disciple along to join in the festivities."

Ye Bufan couldn't quite figure out the old man's thoughts. He was clearly incredibly powerful, at least a ninth-rank Yuan Emperor or above, but why did he act so meek around people

If I hadn't seen Ku Suzi kill Luo Jiuhe with two moves with my own eyes, I really would have thought this old man was just an ordinary Emperor Realm sixth rank.

He has the ability, but he never shows it in public. Is he putting on a show to deceive others, or is there another reason

He was thinking to himself, but Gong Taikang burst into a haughty laugh: "A mere disciple dares to come out and humiliate himself Look at any sect—they all have dozens. My Dongyue Sect alone brought two hundred gifted disciples."

Kusuzi chuckled and said, "There's no way around it. Who asked me to be from the Yunhai Sect, which is so small"

He has been playing weak all along, but the Dragon Grandmother couldn't stand it anymore. With a cold snort, she said: "Gong Taikang, what is there to be arrogant about Isn't it just that you brought more disciples So what"

The Holy Spirit Competition ultimately comes down to which family has the most disciples who pass, and whose disciples have the strongest talents. What use are they if they all bring nothing but trash

Yun Qianyin also had a good relationship with Kusuzi, and followed up saying: "That's right, disciples should be focused on quality over quantity. Perhaps this young brother is today's most talented disciple."

"Haha, that's hilarious."

Gong Taikang burst into laughter. This time, he no longer targeted Yunhai Sect, but instead became even more arrogant.

"Today, the most talented disciple will undoubtedly come from my Dongyue Sect. If anyone dares to claim first place, my disciples would rank second!"

His words were not arrogant, there were indeed several talented disciples within this sect, and his direct disciple Che Shengchong had even broken through to the second rank of Yuan Zun in one fell swoop.

Based on past experience, it is estimated that very few disciples would be able to successfully pass the first round of assessment and reach the level of a Yuan Zun. The probability is definitely not higher than ten percent.

and reaching the second rank of Yuanzun in one fell swoop would surely secure the top spot. Even if other sects had talented disciples, they could at most tie for first place.

That's why he is so confident.

"Palace Elder, I think you've forgotten about my Ping Sha Island. This time, your only choice is to come in second."

Speaking was the mistress of Pingsha Island, Rong Fu. Behind her walked a pretty female cultivator, looking calm and composed.

He was quiet, but there was a sense of spirituality about him, clearly a gifted and talented disciple.

"Just relying on you This time, all of you go to the back. You'll all be trampled under my Ziyue Mountain."

The Dragon Granny let out a cold snort. Originally, the three families were evenly matched in strength, but after several consecutive Holy Spirit Conventions, Purple Moon Mountain had been surpassed by the other two families. A knot of anger had been festering in her heart ever since.

With Xuanyuan Linglong possessing the Pristine Root, she swiftly ascended to the fourth rank of the Yuanzun realm. This newfound power provided her with a chance to rise and shine, so naturally, she wouldn't back down.

Several people argued heatedly, each speaking over the other. Kusuz stood by the side, a humble smile on his face, saying nothing.

And at that moment, a deep voice boomed through the air: "Silence! The Holy Spirit Conference assessment now begins."

Looking up together, they saw a red-robed Grand Deacon standing in mid-air.

The assessment and registration processes are completely different, and the Wanxiang Heavenly Palace also attaches great importance to them. This time, a new grand steward has been appointed, who has reached the ninth rank of Yuanzun.

This person's name is Cang Ji. He has also presided over the assessment of the Holy Spirit Conference before. He is a just and upright person, who is deeply recognized by everyone.

The moment he spoke, a hush fell over the foot of the mountain. Even the heads of the major sects ceased their arguing.

After all, the results will be out soon. There's no point in talking too much. We all want to wait until the results are out and give them a good slap in the face.

Cang Ji, as usual, read out the rules of the assessment and then said, "All major sects, please organize your registered disciples to line up for the assessment test in order. Everyone knows the rules, so please don't cheat. Otherwise, you will be severely punished!"

Although there were a few strong cultivators at the level of Nine Grades of Yuan Zun present, they represented the Myriad Forms Heavenly Palace, their presence imposing.

Under his direction, the test proceeded in an orderly manner.

Dongyuezong's last test results were the best, and this time they ranked first. Two hundred disciples under its sect went forward one by one to accept the test of the Sky-Peering Mirror.

Actually, the 200 people here know their own situation best. The reason they came here is to take a gamble and see if they can break through at the last minute.

As it turned out, strength truly prevailed. There was little room for luck. After the tests, only twenty-one disciples remained out of two hundred.

By comparison, this pass rate is already very high, only large sects can achieve it.

The most dazzling thing was not the number, but the appearance of a Yuan Zun second-rank among these people. It was precisely Che Shengchong, the disciple of Gong Taikang.here.Dennis smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, I'd like to have dinner with you alone. Would that be alright""It's my honor to have dinner with such a beautiful woman as Miss Dennis."Ye Bufan naturally knew th...
