#275 - Chapter 275: Millennium Competition
On Peach Mountain.
Lin Yaoyao summoned Little White and the others, and told them about the Thirteen Continents Competition.
"The Thirteen Continents Competition is about to begin. You all prepare yourselves and participate together when the time comes."
"What is the Thirteen Continents Competition?" Ji Changsheng couldn't help but ask.
"You can think of it as a grand event where all the chosen ones will gather together. At that time, the Star Observation Pavilion will also create a list to determine the leading figures of the younger generation."
"I want to participate!"
"Everyone should participate. It's good to go out and see the world at that time," Lin Yaoyao said.
"How long until then?" Little White couldn't help but ask.
He wanted to see if there was enough time. If there was enough time, he would break through to the Nascent Soul stage before going. If there wasn't enough time, he would have to wait.
"There are still two days," Lin Yaoyao said.
"Tomorrow, we will set off to the Star Observation Pavilion in Lianyun Continent to participate in the Lianyun Continent Competition."
First, there is the competition in each continent to select the number of participants, and then they will go to the Yin-Yang intersection to participate in the Thirteen Continents Competition.
"So fast!" Little White was a little surprised. The time was too tight. He would find it difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one day.
"There's no way around it. Master just told me," Lin Yaoyao said helplessly.
"Prepare as soon as possible, we will set off tomorrow," Lin Yaoyao continued.
Only then did everyone go back to prepare and adjust their state.
Little White was no longer in a hurry to break through, but instead stabilized his realm.
By the Bitter Sea.
The Earth Mother said to Ye Kong, "The so-called Thirteen Continents Competition is actually not very meaningful."
"If I guessed correctly, this Thirteen Continents Competition is hosted by the Demon Skull Sect and the Myriad Flowers Sacred Mansion."
Hearing this, Ye Kong couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"Why?" The Earth Mother glanced at him and said unhappily:
"Have you forgotten that the Demon Skull Sect and the Myriad Flowers Sacred Mansion are fighting fiercely, and countless disciples have died? Don't they have to find fresh blood?"
"Let me put it this way, the top thirty in this competition will be drawn to various sects in the Holy Continent and the Demon Continent, and almost everyone below the top thirty will be from the Myriad Flowers Sacred Mansion and the Demon Skull Sect."
"They spend money and effort, so they can get more disciples with good qualifications."
The Earth Mother saw through it. The Thirteen Continents Competition had long changed its flavor.
"Is it okay not to join?" Ye Kong couldn't help but ask.
"Of course you can choose not to join, but you will have to withstand a lot of pressure. Moreover, after the top thirty, even if you don't join these two sects, the other sects in the Demon Continent and the Holy Continent will not accept you. This is their unspoken rule," the Earth Mother explained.
She had seen too much of these things.
She had been watching the Thirteen Continents Competition since the first one.
She had been watching it until now, watching the Thirteen Continents Competition change its flavor.
"Moreover, the top ten, or even the top twenty, in the Thirteen Continents Competition are almost all from the Holy Continent and the Demon Continent," the Earth Mother continued.
"It is too difficult for other continents to stand out."
Ye Kong thought about it carefully, and what the Earth Mother said made sense.
"My Lianyun Continent has ten places, what about the other continents?" Ye Kong asked.
"It doubles in turn," the Earth Mother said.
The bottom-ranked Joy Continent has five places, Lianyun Continent has ten, the nearby South Cloud Continent, ranked eleventh, has twenty, and so on, doubling in turn.
"No wonder you said just now that those ranked at the top are almost all from the Holy Continent and the Demon Continent. They occupy a numerical advantage," Ye Kong couldn't help but say.
"It's not just a simple numerical advantage. The timing, geographical advantages, and harmony are almost all in the Holy Continent and the Demon Continent. This is also why the Holy Continent is the center of the cultivation world, and the Demon Continent is the headquarters of the Demonic Sect."
"There is a reason why they can rule the cultivation world," the Earth Mother murmured.
"Well, I understand," Ye Kong nodded slightly.
"It seems that my Heavenly Origin Chessboard will come in handy."
Ye Kong thought of the Heavenly Origin Chessboard that the system had rewarded him with. He could start laying out a plan to prevent accidents.
If the Holy Continent and the Demon Continent did not make things difficult for his disciples, then he would remove the Heavenly Origin Chessboard. If they wanted to do something in secret, then Ye Kong would secretly control it.
Let's see who messes with whom!
"But participating is also good. Although the number of participants is unfair, the competition is fair."
"The Star Observation Pavilion monitors the competition and creates the list. It will not allow cheating to occur. This is quite good," the Earth Mother continued.
Although the Thirteen Continents Millennium Competition has changed its flavor, the process of the competition is very fair.
The people from the Star Observation Pavilion personally supervise and create the list, without any adulteration.
Otherwise, once the Star Observation Pavilion is questioned, the existence of the Star Observation Pavilion will become unnecessary.
"Well, that's okay," Ye Kong nodded.
"Do you know the founder of the Star Observation Pavilion?" Ye Kong asked.
"I know, Old Blind Man," the Earth Mother said directly.
"Old Blind Man is the military advisor beside Hong, formulating celestial phenomena, monitoring the continents, and balancing the situation of each continent," the Earth Mother explained.
In order to get Ye Kong to take her to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, she answered whatever Ye Kong asked, and explained it in great detail.
"Old Blind Man, doesn't he have a name?" Ye Kong couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, his name is 'Yan'," the Earth Mother said.
As she called out this name, a star in the sky suddenly flickered.
"Yan, as in perfunctory?"
"Yan, as in deduction," the Earth Mother said.
"Aren't they the same character?"
"The meaning is different."
The two discussed the Old Blind Man.
"Do you think the Old Blind Man you mentioned is dead?" Ye Kong asked.
"I don't know. I couldn't find them when I woke up," the Earth Mother shook her head and said, her tone a little sad.
When she woke up from her sleep, everything had changed.
The people who had protected her were gone, all the strong people were gone.
She wandered around the land for a while, but couldn't find anyone, so she entered the deepest part of the earth's core and sealed herself off.
Occasionally, when she was bored, she would walk around in the earth's core.
If Ye Kong hadn't entered the earth's core and broken the silence, the Earth Mother might not have come out in her entire life.
Ye Kong rubbed her head and said, "When we get back, I'll take you to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."
Hearing this, the Earth Mother couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Really?"
"Really, but there are three rules."
"First, you must not attack the divine beasts and ferocious beasts. If you anger them, I can't help you."
"Second, you are not allowed to go find the Divine Turtle, she is about to die."
"Third, you must not dig graves, and you must not leave my sight."
Ye Kong pondered and gave the Earth Mother three conditions.
"Okay," the Earth Mother agreed immediately.
She was not going to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to eat, but to find Hong's tomb.
She wanted to see if he could be resurrected.
She roughly calculated that the Thirteen Continents Competition would be over in at most a month.
When it was over in a month, she would be able to go to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
"Earth Mother, don't you have any other names?" Ye Kong looked at the Earth Mother and suddenly asked.
"Yes, my name is Ling," the Earth Mother said.
"Earth Mother is my title, Ling is my name," the Earth Mother said.
Ye Kong immediately understood. No wonder the Earth Mother called herself Earth Spirit, so her name was really Ling.
"Do you want to take my surname?" Ye Kong suddenly asked with a smile.
