News of An Ge obtaining a divine artifact from the Sword Tomb quickly spread throughout the entire Tianxuan Continent, and people once again focused their attention on this genius who had once caused a sensation by becoming an apprentice.
Especially the sword cultivators, upon hearing about the divine sword, were so envious that tears almost streamed down their faces.
At the same time, as news of her obtaining the divine artifact spread, so too did the news of her rapid advancement. In an instant, An Ge became a top genius on the Tianxuan Continent, overshadowing even the former genius Yu Xinghe.
Upon learning that An Ge had obtained the divine artifact and hearing these words, Yu Xinghe coughed up blood while cultivating, nearly suffering a qi deviation.
"Give me more pills! Quickly!" Yu Xinghe's eyes were gloomy and full of resentment.
The mechanical voice of the cultivation system announced, "Host does not have enough points to make the purchase."
"Didn't I just advance? How come I don't have enough points?"
"Host, this system has already told you that the points gained from advancing through pills are vastly different from those gained through normal cultivation."
"Useless trash, what use are you? You even call yourself a god, how can a god be suppressed by ordinary people?" Yu Xinghe roared angrily, his handsome face turning into an extremely ferocious expression.
No matter how angry Yu Xinghe was, the cultivation system remained silent, as if it were dead.
Because of its strained relationship with Yu Xinghe, the cultivation system didn't tell him many things about the Chosen Ones. In the system's view, its master was useless and leaving him was only a matter of time.
The process of choosing a god and his chosen ones is a two-way selection!
"Why not find that genius named An Ge?" The god, who already had ulterior motives, silently considered his compatibility with An Ge.
Unbeknownst to An Ge, she was being targeted by another deity. At this moment, she sat atop Tianwu Peak, surrounded by the perennial snow, exuding a quiet and aloof aura.
But only An Ge knew that her mind was about to explode.
For some reason, Qingyan and Xiaoqi were particularly at odds. One accused her of having another dog outside, while the other said that it should be first in line and that it should be first.
An Ge truly didn't understand how a weapon and a deity couldn't coexist peacefully. When their own backyard caught fire, she was the one who suffered. After all, even though they argued, they still knew their limits.
After blocking out the noise, An Ge instantly felt the whole world become quiet.
"Phew! This should have happened sooner." An Ge sighed, feeling a bit like a scumbag.
"Sigh, this is the trouble of being too popular," she sighed, borrowing a phrase that Ginsengwa often used.
When Xun Kuang arrived at Tianwu Peak, he saw his talented junior disciple quietly drinking tea, seemingly oblivious to the commotion outside.
"Nephew, you're in high spirits. Do you know how much chaos has erupted outside because of you?"
She didn't know if things were in chaos outside, but things were already turned upside down inside her place!
"My master is teasing me again. I don't often live in this world, so what does it matter if I have these empty titles or not?" An Ge genuinely didn't care about empty titles. She was willing to show her strength appropriately, firstly so as not to embarrass her master, and secondly because having strength would reduce a lot of trouble.
Xun Kuang smiled. "People as magnanimous as you are rare; many are burdened by empty fame. I came to see you today to talk about the sect competition. The secret realm is about to open, and the allocation of spots is usually determined through a competition. Would you like to participate?"
"Does my senior uncle mean we don't have to participate?"
"Unless it's a sect-wide competition, qualified direct disciples usually don't participate in these competitions for spots."
An Ge understood. Although the sect tried to be fair, it was only relative. The direct disciples were all exceptionally talented, and their strength and treasures were different from those of ordinary disciples. For them to participate was simply bullying.
Moreover, many of the direct disciples have already formed their cores, so there is no need for them to compete for the position. There are not many foundation-building disciples left to begin with, so having a few more will not have a significant impact on the overall situation.
"I won't participate." Since we have special privileges, might as well use them. With her current strength, it wouldn't be fair to them if she and Qingyan participated in the Foundation Establishment stage competition.
Xun Kuang nodded, seemingly unsurprised.
"If you have nothing to do, you can go and watch the competition. There are a total of five direct disciples going this time, and one of them wants to participate in the grand competition."
"Yu Xinghe?"
“That’s right, know yourself and know your enemy. Since we’re already on guard against him, it wouldn’t hurt to observe his tactics more.” Xun Kuang made no attempt to hide his bias.
After Xun Kuang left, An Ge immediately rummaged through her treasures. Seeing the mountain of various treasures piled up in her space, she breathed a sigh of relief. "This is my empire. With these, this secret realm will surely be safe."
An Ge had learned a lot about the secret realms from her senior uncle, the sect leader, but each secret realm was different. In particular, this secret realm seemed to involve the issue of ascension, making it exceptionally dangerous.
An Ge knew that accidents often happened in the secret realm, and even though her actual strength was now at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, she dared not let her guard down. Moreover, there was also Yu Xinghe, whose methods were unknown.
"I wonder if I can summon divine servants in the secret realm," An Ge muttered to himself. If he encountered danger, it would be great to just summon Hu Jiu, this ultimate weapon.
However, she only thought about it and did not intend to rely on Hu Jiu. After all, the secret realm had a strength limit, and with Hu Jiu's strength, he would definitely be rejected by the secret realm.
An Ge had a premonition that this secret realm might be related to the Chosen Ones. Everything was unknown in this regard, and An Ge dared not risk Hu Jiu's life.
Thinking of the promise An Ge had made to Hu Jiu before coming here, that he would summon him if there was any danger, An Ge felt a little guilty.
"If I really encounter danger, I can teleport back to the inn!" An Ge felt comforted thinking about the teleportation array that had never been activated.
As An Ge prepared to enter the secret realm, Elder Qi Feng confirmed with Yu Xinghe again, "Xinghe, this competition is just a small matter. Why don't you focus your energy on other things? Why get involved?"
Yu Xinghe cupped his hands and said, "Actual combat is also a way to improve one's strength, and this disciple does not think there is anything wrong with it."
Elder Qifeng choked upon hearing Yu Xinghe's somewhat sarcastic tone. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh, "Since you've already made up your mind, I won't say anything more. Just go through the motions in the competition. With your strength, if you don't get first place, people will only think that you didn't give it your all, and they won't say anything more."
Yu Xinghe nodded, listened to Elder Qifeng's instructions for a few more minutes, and then left.
Ha, not aiming for first place? How could that be?
He originally thought that his master was just as unwilling to be inferior to others as he was. However, since An Ge obtained the divine artifact, he seemed to have lost that competitive spirit, which made Yu Xinghe look down on him.
In Yu Xinghe's view, his master's decision to give up the competition meant that he acknowledged that he was inferior to An Ge! Thinking of the powerful Lingxiao Zhenjun, he looked down on his master even more and felt even more hatred for An Ge.
