Chapter 1217 Double Rewards
Looking at her eager expression, the Saint Emperor Wuxiang couldn't help but smile.
"good."
He nodded, his voice carrying a hint of seduction.
"At that time, the most outstanding geniuses in the world under the jurisdiction of my Formless Divine Kingdom will gather in the capital to compete against each other."
"That would be so much fun!"
Xie Purou blushed with excitement, turned around abruptly, grabbed Ye Chen's arm, and shook it vigorously.
"Master! Master! Let's go have some fun, please!"
Although You Ruo wasn't as excited as her senior sister, she still stepped forward, her big, watery eyes looking at Ye Chen with anticipation.
Clearly, she was also tempted.
Ye Chen frowned as he looked at his two disciples, seemingly disagreeing with their participation in the so-called Eternal Prodigy Gathering.
"Nonsense."
He uttered two words calmly.
"This is a competition from the Formless Divine Kingdom. We're not from the Formless Divine Kingdom. It's so impolite of us to participate in someone else's competition."
Ye Chen seemed genuinely unwilling for them to participate in the Eternal Pride Gathering.
This surprised both You Ruo and Xie Purou.
Master usually finds various opportunities to train them, and this Eternal Pride Tournament is obviously a good opportunity for training.
Why would Master disagree with their participation?
Could it be that there's some hidden reason behind this grand gathering of eternal geniuses, which is why Master doesn't want them to participate?
They weren't unruly people. Although they really wanted to go to the Eternal Prodigies Gathering, since their master had said so, they had no choice but to obediently listen to him.
Since their master doesn't want them to participate, then they won't go.
“Brother Ye, you are mistaken.” The Unparalleled Saint Emperor immediately smiled and smoothed things over. “Even rough jade needs to be carved, and geniuses need to be honed. Letting them see the talents of various fields will benefit their mindset and cultivation.”
As he spoke, he threw out another heavy bait.
"Moreover, the champion of this grand event will be allowed to enter my 'Ten Thousand Paths Source Pool' for three days of cultivation."
"The Pool of Myriad Paths?!"
Xie Purou and You Ruo might not know what this was, but Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.
The Myriad Paths Source Pool is a place where the fortune of a divine kingdom and the origin of the Great Dao converge. Even a Saint Emperor-level expert can benefit greatly from cultivating there.
For cultivators below the Holy Emperor level, this is an opportunity that defies the heavens.
Hearing about the reward, the two little girls' eyes shone even brighter!
Ye Chen sighed with some dissatisfaction, "Only three days of cultivation? That's too short! I don't think this Gathering of Prodigies is suitable for my two disciples!"
The King of No Form shook his head helplessly. He had long seen through the hidden meaning in Ye Chen's words; he was indeed waiting for him here.
So he made a promise: "As long as these two girls can win the championship in their respective tracks, I can extend the three-day period to thirty days, how about that?"
Ye Chen shook his head again: "No, thirty days will only delay the cultivation of my two disciples."
Upon hearing this, You Ruo and Xie Purou understood that their master was not forbidding them from participating in the Eternal Pride Gathering.
Instead, it's about helping them get more rewards!
Hehe, Master really loves them!
Even the King of No Form hadn't expected Ye Chen to be so greedy. Thirty days of cultivation time wasn't enough; he actually wanted more.
If it were anyone else, who would dare say such things in front of him? They would surely be crushed to dust by him!
But Ye Chen is different.
Ye Chen not only stood on equal footing with him, but also helped him deal with strange forces.
In addition, he also quite liked the two little girls.
Therefore, giving more rewards wouldn't be a problem!
"Alright, let them continue their cultivation for as long as they can. It all depends on their own destiny. Besides, I will give them some extra rewards later, is that alright?!"
The Saint Emperor Wuxiang said irritably.
Hearing his promise, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction and smiled, saying, "In that case, my two disciples will surely shine brightly at the Eternal Prodigies Gathering!"
"Yay! Master is the best!"
The two girls immediately cheered with joy.
A smile appeared on the face of the Formless Holy Emperor.
With a flick of his wrist, two ancient tokens shimmering with golden divine light appeared in his palm.
These two golden tokens, radiating divine light, seemed to be surrounded by chaotic immortal power, exuding an aura of supreme power!
"This is your certificate for attending the event. Please keep it safe."
Xie Purou and You Ruo quickly took one each and played with it with it, reluctant to put it down.
The moment they got their hands on it, they felt that what they held was not a token, but the power of an entire star field!
After handing out the token, the King of No Form picked up his wine cup, glanced at the excited faces of the two girls, and added in a calm tone.
"However, there is one thing you need to know."
"This grand gathering of geniuses has never been about life or death."
"You must be careful. Some prodigies are bloodthirsty. If you encounter one of them, you will be in great danger!"
"Not bound by life and death?"
As soon as the Emperor Wuxiang finished speaking, You Ruo, who was still immersed in joy, remained expressionless, as if the so-called "not being able to live or die" was not a problem for her at all!
But Xie Purou, standing to the side, showed no fear in her bright eyes; instead, her eyes shone with an even more fervent light.
"Wouldn't that be even more fun!"
Her little fists clenched excitedly, and her whole body radiated a fighting spirit that was eager to try.
In her view, what kind of training is it if there's no threat to life or death? It's just children playing house!
Ye Chen glanced at his two disciples, his expression indifferent, as if what the Formless Saint Emperor said was just a trivial matter.
The path of cultivation is inherently about contending with heaven, fighting against earth, and battling against people.
If one fears life and death, what is the point of cultivating the supreme path?
Seeing the three people's completely different reactions, the Saint Emperor Wuxiang's deep eyes flashed with a strange light, then he smiled and said nothing more.
After the banquet ended, Ye Chen left the palace with his two disciples.
At this moment, the capital of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom is a hundred times more bustling than usual.
Divine light streaked across the sky from time to time, and powerful beasts pulled magnificent chariots, rumbling past and radiating waves of oppressive power.
On the streets, young prodigies from various star systems and worlds can be seen everywhere.
They all possessed a profound aura, radiant spirits, and undisguised arrogance and confidence in their eyes.
The entire capital was filled with a tense yet exciting atmosphere.
The grand gathering of eternal geniuses is about to begin!
Xie Purou and You Ruo were also very curious about this scene, looking around with great interest.
"Master, look! That person is riding a golden-winged roc, how majestic!"
"Senior sister, that woman over there is riding an ice crystal dragon!"
