Chapter 236 Quota for the Tower of the Abyss
"High-grade materials, rare and precious items, and even Heaven-level cultivation techniques..."
Lan Yue had just finished eating the melon when the prizes started being distributed.
The timing was so perfect that Lan Yue found it a bit strange, as if these people were deliberately waiting for something.
It's not like so many people can just gather together and do nothing, waiting for her to finish eating the gossip, right? Lan Yue was amused by her own fleeting thought, and she quickly shook her head, looking ahead.
The Northern Ridge Holy Land is very wealthy and generous, providing everyone with a spatial ring.
Lan Yue couldn't stop smiling when she saw the mountain of spirit stones and box after box of high-grade spiritual materials inside the ring.
She gained so many points from eating melons, which she could use to increase her cultivation level. However, if she wanted to break through to a higher realm, she still had to rely on herself, and these spiritual treasures were the best choice.
Lan Yue had initially thought that the spiritual treasures she had obtained from the ruins of Jueling Island might not be enough to support her breakthrough, but now it seemed there might still be some left over.
Lan Yue smiled and collected all the rare treasures into her system space, preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage when the time came.
"This Heaven-level cultivation technique was originally reserved for the first place winner, but since you two are tied for first place, you can watch it together. Remember, you must not divulge it to anyone else."
The leader, the Holy Lord of Beiling, held an ancient white jade box in his hand and explained to the two little ones with a smile.
Looking at the two little ones, he liked them more and more and wanted to kidnap them both.
Needless to say, Xiao Lanyue is a little bit of a character. This little guy has a celestial artifact in his hand, and he can easily reveal a lot of information to the people around him, especially information about the Demon Realm, which can also help them learn more about the Demon Clan.
If this ability were applied to the battlefield between the two realms, it would be even more invincible, because the little guy could find the weaknesses of the enemy's demon king and demon generals with just a glance. What's the difference between that and cheating?
Moreover, Yunxi next to Lanyue made him even more anxious. According to the gossip he had just heard, little Yunxi was the daughter of the Southern Spirit Sect Master. Did that mean that this little girl was also the daughter of the Holy Son?
Previously, the people of the Northern Ridge Holy Land had not thought of this. Baili Xingzhou had investigated for so long, but had only roughly identified about ten people. They even suspected Lan Yue, but had not focused their attention on Yun Xi.
After all, the fact that the daughter of the Southern Spirit Sect Master was the daughter of the Holy Son was such a shocking conjecture that they couldn't even imagine it.
"Thank you, Holy Lord." Lan Yue smiled and accepted the box, but instead of keeping it, she placed the white jade box directly into Yun Xi's hands.
"This is your cultivation method; you already have a cultivation technique!"
Lan Yue looked at her companions with a smile. She, who always thought only of being a lazy bum, had worked so hard for so long, all for this cultivation technique, all to prevent the main characters from going astray.
On the surface, the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Technique may seem like just an ordinary Heaven-level cultivation technique, but the fact that it was awarded as the first prize by the Northern Ridge Holy Land speaks volumes about its merit. It's just that very few people are able to cultivate this technique.
The cultivation technique prepared by the old Holy Master and Holy Son of the Northern Ridge Holy Land was actually this Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Technique.
However, even the Holy Son of Beiling failed to cultivate it successfully, which shows that this technique is extremely difficult to cultivate and the conditions are very demanding.
Tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away – that's the attitude of the Northern Ridge Holy Land, which is why they gave this cultivation technique as the reward for first place.
However, only Lan Yue knew the origin of this technique. Of course, she saw it in the original work. This technique was left behind by the ancient Heavenly Witch Clan, the race that founded the Central Holy Land.
This cultivation technique can only be practiced by those with the bloodline of the Heavenly Witch Clan. Of course, it's not something that can be mastered by just anyone with a trace of bloodline. The bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Witch Clan has become extremely diluted over time, and the Holy Son of the Northern Ridge is the inheritor of this bloodline.
However, the Holy Son of Beiling did not possess many bloodlines. Only the female protagonist awakened her ancestral bloodline. At first, she could hear the sounds of flowers and plants, and eventually she could even hear the sounds of heaven and earth. With the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Technique, the female protagonist was even able to influence the power of heaven and earth in the later stages.
This is the female lead's cheat code, and also the reason why she was able to break down the barriers between the cultivation world and the immortal world and rebuild the Immortal Platform later on.
Therefore, Lan Yue set a goal from the very beginning: to help Yun Xi win first place. Even if she couldn't this time, there would be next time, and the time after that! She absolutely had to get the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Technique!
The Holy Lord of Beiling on the other side was still preoccupied with the two little ones, showing them concern and care, completely unaware that the little ones on the other side had once again set their sights on the Holy Land of Beiling.
Lan Yue pondered for a moment, then looked up again: "Holy Lord, you have promised that the first place winner can make a request, and as long as it is within a reasonable range, it can be fulfilled."
"I remember the Tower of the Abyss will be open again in a few days. Could we ask for a few spots?"
Lan Yue said shamelessly.
According to the original story, the main characters entered the Tower of the Abyss a few years later due to an unexpected opportunity. At that time, Yunxi had already obtained the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Technique, but it was very difficult to cultivate. She even wanted to give up at one point, feeling that this technique was not suitable for her.
He later awakened his bloodline again at the Tower of the Abyss, and only then did he truly understand, after which his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
If they don't enter the Tower of the Abyss, given the current pace Yunxi and the others are taking, they'll probably just be there to make up the numbers in the Four Regions Grand Competition six months from now.
The recent competitions at Beiling Holy Land have looked extremely dangerous, but there are actually loopholes to exploit. For example, within the Xuanwu Formation, they can disguise themselves as Xuanwu stakes.
For example, at the Bridge of Inquiry, they had the Enlightenment Tea to cheat. And later, in the Demon Realm Battlefield, Lan Yue could vaguely sense that the female protagonist was using her bloodline talent.
However, in a real one-on-one fight, their current strength might not be enough to defeat the prodigies from other sects.
"None of you have reached the Golden Core stage yet. Entering like this might be a bit dangerous," the Northern Ridge Holy Lord said hesitantly.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give these kids a spot, but the Tower of the Abyss was extremely dangerous. Even some of the Golden Core disciples from the Northern Ridge Holy Land hadn't made it out after entering.
Not to mention that these little ones are all still in the Foundation Establishment stage, especially Yunxi, who is only in the early Foundation Establishment stage...
Just as the Holy Lord of Beiling was about to say something, he suddenly sensed that Yunxi's aura had changed, becoming that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Northern Ridge Holy Lord: "???"
When did this little girl improve her cultivation level? Is her cultivation speed really that fast?
He frowned. He had initially thought that the little guy in front of him was forcibly increasing his cultivation for the competition, but upon closer inspection, he found that Yunxi's aura was thick and he could not detect any weakness in it.
He paused, somewhat amused and exasperated.
It can only be said that she is indeed the daughter of the Southern Spirit Sect Master and Baili Tusu; her cultivation talent is even more impressive than that of the Holy Son back then.
"It's normal to be in danger, isn't it? Danger exists everywhere. At least the Tower of the Abyss has seniors from the Northern Ridge Holy Land patrolling it."
Lan Yue did not give up.
This was a decision she made after careful consideration, since the reality had changed from the original story, and the plot had obviously sped up.
If the original plot were followed, and the main characters only entered the Tower of the Abyss several years later for training, it might cause many problems to be delayed.
After all, under normal circumstances, the demon race wouldn't be this reckless. If we don't join now, we'll fall behind step by step.
From now on, Lan Yue's wish to just sit back and watch the drama unfold will remain just a wish!
No way, the bystanders will never admit defeat!
Since the plot has gone haywire and the demon faction is in chaos as well, let's just let her handle it herself from now on!
"I'll discuss it with the Holy Son again and ask for his opinion." The Holy Lord of Beiling couldn't refuse directly, so he could only leave the matter to the Holy Son.
The two little ones in the background, one possesses a magical artifact, and the other is his biological daughter.
Leave everything to the Holy Son to handle!
However, upon further investigation, the Holy Lord of Beiling found no trace of the Holy Son outside the Beiling Holy Land; it seemed as if the person had vanished into thin air once again.
The Holy Lord of Beiling was somewhat confused, so he simply took out a sound transmission stone and sent a message to the other party, asking him to come over as soon as possible.
To his dismay, the communication stones failed to transmit the message; the other party had already deactivated their communication stones.
Northern Ridge Holy Lord: "???"
Something's not right. Why doesn't Baili Tusu take the Holy Land seriously at all? Hasn't he been searching for his daughter for so many years? Now his daughter has delivered herself to his doorstep. As long as he comes over, he can see his obedient and sweet daughter and fulfill his long-cherished wish of a hundred years.
Where did this guy go? Did he abandon his daughter?
The Holy Lord of Beiling looked at the two little girls in front of him, and then glanced at the silent communication stone, and was furious.
He messed things up at the crucial moment! And all that effort he put into gathering information for this guy!
