“Oh?”

Ling Xian was intrigued, “How is it different?”

“Like I said, the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites look to find Heaven’s Favorites every few centuries. Because in the Taoism community, every century is a new generation.”

Dao Wu Zi spoke softly, “You can interpret it as a competition between Heaven’s Favorites. Those who are in the competition are limited to those from Tianzhou. This was why I said it’s an exaggeration to say they pick the strongest Heaven’s Favorite in the world.”

“But this time, things are different.”

Pausing, Wu Dao Zi continued, “This competition is open to the entire Taoism community. Or in other words, all continents are invited, including Heaven’s Favorites from the 36 islands.”

“The entire Taoism community?”

Ling Xian frowned, his eyes flickered with surprise.

Everything in this community is astonishing if the entire community is involved. The competition organized by the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites is open to nine continents, which means it is a huge deal.

“That’s right. Ten days ago, the Palace had sent the message and requested all forces to disable the array set to protect Tianzhou.”

Dao Wu Zi nodded and continued, “At the same time, the fact that this competition is starting has been circulated around. Before long, many top talents will meet in Tianzhou.”

“Interesting. So this is a true competition between Heaven’s Favorites.” The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. His eyes flickered with a desire to fight.

It was obvious that he was considering.

He wanted to walk the path of being undefeatable. This undefeatable wasn’t just him being at the highest level of cultivation, but to be truly undefeatable in this world.

He wanted to be undefeatable even when fighting against powerhouses of the same level!

Therefore, Ling Xian had to repress Heaven’s Favorites from everywhere and defeat all heroes in the world. Only so can he become truly undefeatable.

A stage that was never available to him has appeared.

It was easy to see that when this news circulates around the nine continents, all top talents will come here. Then, a real battle between dragons and tigers will begin!

To be able to excel on such a stage meant that person would be the strongest powerhouse for the young generation in the Taoism community!

Without a doubt, that was a huge temptation. A temptation that anyone who wants to dominate cannot decline!

Ling Xian was no exception.

He wanted to be the number one hero in the world and arrive at the peak of the world.

“It looks like you are considering.”

Seeing the heat in Ling Xian’s eyes, Wu Dao Zi stroke his beard and exclaimed, “It’s no surprise. Back then, I participated in such a competition as well. That time, the competition was limited to Tianzhou. But now that the competition has opened up to everyone, how can I decline?”

“That’s true.”

Ling Xian nodded, “To have the competition be all the Heaven’s Favorites in the world makes it a true world stage. It is a temptation that no powerhouse can resist.”

“To be a hero in the world and defeat all powerhouses is something all cultivators want.”

Dao Wu Zi exclaimed, “Other than the great battle, there is also a holy place, the Palace of the Heaven’s Favorites, that will be open to the public when the time comes.”

“Oh?”

Ling Xian became even more interested and asked, “Please explain Vice Dean.”

“When the competition for the Heaven’s Favorites begins, the holy ground from the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites will be open to the competitors and allow everyone to cultivate there for a year. Only after that, will the battle begin.”

Dao Wu Zi appeared reminiscent, “That truly is a holy place for cultivator. It is a place with the densest amount of spiritual energy in Tianzhou. It is full of hidden heavenly medicine and spiritual fruits. They also have enlightenments left by the omnipotent that help cultivators increase capabilities. It truly is a great place for cultivation.”

“When you put it that way, I am now even more tempted.” Ling Xian softly smiled and his eyes shone with much heat.

Ignoring the question of whether or not that place can enhance his capability, this stage composed of all the Heaven’s Favorites in the world and was worthwhile enough for him.

To put it bluntly, this is the largest stage in the Taoism community. A gathering of all Heaven’s Favorites in the cultivation community!

On this stage, he will encounter many capable opponents and begin a fight like never before!

Therefore, why wouldn’t he be tempted?

“I am glad. If you miss such an opportunity, you will have much regrets.”

Dao Wu Zi stroke his beard and exclaimed, “This kind of gathering happens once maybe every 10,000 years. Even if you cannot acquire the number one title, it will be a great memory for when you are old.”

“That’s right.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up, “But, since I have decided to participate, then I have to focus on getting number one.”

“I know you are very powerful and even the Goddess of Battles lost to you in the battle of physiques. But do not be reckless.”

Dao Wu Zi’s expression was serious, “No genius in Tianzhou is simple. Plus, this competition is open to the entire Taoism community. There will for sure be monsters of insane realms.”

“I understand. That is why I want to participate.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. Other than anticipation in his eyes, there was only heat.

He wasn’t afraid of how powerful his opponent is, at the very most, he fails. He merely desired to fight against the truly powerful. Only then can he improve himself and become more capable!

“It’s great to be confident.”

Dao Wu Zi grinned. “After half a year, the Palace of Heaven’s Favorite will activate. Then, a true war between dragon and tiger will begin.”

“Half a year…”

Ling Xian repeated. Suddenly, he remembered how Dao Wu Zi told him Heaven’s Favorites are “handpicked”. “Wait a second, what happens to the candidates the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites handpick?”

“They disappear.” Dao Wu Zi mysteriously smiled.

“Disappear?”

Ling Xian frowned, not sure what Dao Wu Zi means by this.

“I cannot fully explain what I mean because I do not know exactly. I can only tell you that it is a great thing, a wonderful thing.”

Dao Wu Zi smiled, “I heard that all those who were handpicked disappeared off this world. However, the light never diminished but only grew brighter. This means, those who were chosen only improved and strengthened.”

“Interesting.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He didn’t pursue further with questions, he merely grew more intrigued by all this.

Since this was a competition, then someone will win. But everyone who’s chosen disappears, this interested him greatly.

“This competition is a rare opportunity. Especially to those who end up in the top 10 rank, they will acquire some unimaginable fortune.”

Dao Wu Zi was emotional. “Your generation is lucky to encounter this. Look at me? I can only spend the rest of my life guarding this Taoism community.”

He then looked outside the door. There was helplessness and unwillingness in his eyes.

“Aye, to be trapped in this world.”

Ling Xian frowned at this. He didn’t understand what Dao Wu Zi meant. However, he didn’t ask him to specify. As things unravel, he will learn.

“Vice Dean Wu, I am handing Stone to you and I will leave now.”

Ling Xian grinned and rubbed Stone’s head. Then, before Stone’s sad gaze, Ling Xian stood up slowly and walked out the door.

Everything has been dealt with. It was time for him to find the Valley of the Fallen Phoenix.
