#318 - Chapter 318 Random Selection of Competition Tasks

The next day, early morning.

Ye Kong and Earth Mother returned.

Both of them could feel that the spiritual power of the cultivation world had increased a lot.

“It seems that changes will happen this year.” Earth Mother murmured, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing, wondering how long the prosperous age would last before turning into a chaotic world.

In ancient times, she experienced a great prosperous age and witnessed too many powerful figures from birth to fall.

In that era, geniuses emerged in large numbers, competing fiercely.

Earth Mother lived alone for hundreds of thousands of years, until now.

“No matter how it changes, it won’t affect my Carefree Peak.” Ye Kong said indifferently.

“That’s true.” Earth Mother nodded.

“The third round of the competition is about to begin, please all those who have advanced enter the arena!” The Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent shouted in the air.

Lin Yaoyao and the others walked out of the cabin. It could be seen that they were still very sad.

“Don’t be sad, Ye Wuxin really just took a nap.” Ye Kong said to them.

“Heartless!” Lin Yaoyao said in a low voice and flew out.

Little White and the others came over and glanced at their master, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Ye Kong looked at their departing backs and couldn't help but sigh: “Why don’t they believe me?”

Earth Mother couldn't help but want to laugh again, but thinking of the lesson from last night, she held it back.

On the central arena.

The four hundred disciples who advanced stood scattered, waiting for the Star Gazing Pavilion to announce the rules of the third round of the competition.

Soon,

Seven or eight deacons and elders from the Star Gazing Pavilion each carried a box up.

“There are three levels of tasks in the box. After completing the task, you can get corresponding rewards and advance.”

“Everyone’s tasks are different, some are simple and some are difficult. What task you draw depends entirely on your luck.”

“The stipulated time is five hours. If the task is not completed within five hours, it will be judged as a failure.”

“Note that this round of competition has a great risk to life. You can choose to abstain and receive a certain reward to leave the field.”

The Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent said to everyone.

The task for the third round of the competition was jointly formulated by him and the Star Gazing Masters of the twelve continents, and the tasks were divided into three levels according to their difficulty.

Level one is the lowest and easiest, and level three is the highest and most difficult.

After he announced the rules, all the disciples randomly chose a deacon elder and drew a task from the deacon elder's box.

There is a spiritual power ball in the box, with a number written on it. After absorbing the spiritual power, you can see what your task is.

Some tasks are simple, some are average, and some are extremely difficult.

Lin Yaoyao took out a ball from the box, with the number one on it.

She saw that Ji Changsheng drew a three, and while others weren't paying attention, she exchanged the ball she got with Ji Changsheng.

The Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent noticed it and was about to speak when Earth Mother's voice rang in their ears.

“It’s just exchanging a ball, what’s the big deal, this doesn’t violate the rules.”

The Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent heard this, looked left and right, and could only nod when he saw Earth Mother squinting at him.

“Forget it, don’t do it again.” The Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent thought to himself.

Originally, whatever you drew was what you got, and it couldn't be changed.

But Earth Mother came forward, and he could only turn a blind eye.

Although the Star Gazing Pavilion is a fair scale, who can see if the scale is tilted a little?

After changing the ball, Lin Yaoyao absorbed the spiritual power and sensed the task.

【Go to the Forbidden Sea of Eastern Forbidden Continent and take a bottle of Forbidden Water.】

After seeing the task, Lin Yaoyao closed her eyes and was silent for a moment.

This task seems simple, but it is actually deadly.

Once discovered by the Forbidden Sea Monster, you will be swallowed instantly.

Nine deaths and one life.

Ji Changsheng also absorbed the spiritual power and saw his task.

【Go to Yunshan Mountain in Lianyun Continent and pick the Purple Lotus on the Clouds.】

“This task is quite simple.” Ji Changsheng was a little happy.

Although the Purple Lotus on the Clouds grows in the clouds, you can pick it as long as you find it.

Little White absorbed the spiritual power and saw his task.

【Go to the Demon Yin Sect of Demon Continent and pick up the remaining Demon Source!】

Little White frowned when he saw this. This task felt like it was tailored for him.

He knew that the Demon Yin Sect had been destroyed, after all, the news was spreading like wildfire.

He had no problem going to Demon Continent.

The tasks of other people were also to go to various continents, some were to kill people, some were to collect spiritual herbs, and some were to escort caravans.

“The passage has been opened and can lead to various continents. Those who want to participate in the competition, please enter the passage. Those who don’t participate in the competition, please stand in place and wait.” The Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent said.

This passage is based on the Star Gazing Pavilion of Holy Continent, connecting the Star Gazing Pavilions of the eleven continents, opening passages between each other, and teleporting each other.

Lin Yaoyao stepped into the passage of Eastern Forbidden Continent to do the task, and Little White and Little Green followed closely into other passages.

Many contestants entered the arena one after another, and no one would not go.

Even if there is danger, you have to try it, what if you succeed?

This task was completely formulated by the Star Gazing Pavilion, without any water, and the tasks they did were just tests.

The huge crystal in the center was divided into four hundred screens, one for each disciple.

Those with strong strength can see what they want to see at a glance, while those with weak strength have to look for it for a long time.

On the Spirit Boat.

Ye Kong glanced at his disciples going to different places.

Ye Kong didn't know what their tasks were, but Ye Kong knew that there would probably be danger.

“Earth Mother.” Ye Kong called out.

Earth Mother, who was lying on the rocking chair, instantly opened her eyes.

“No, this is the Thirteen Continents competition, I can’t help anymore. Once or twice is fine, but helping too much will seriously disrupt the balance.”

“Moreover, they are scattered in different places, who should I help? No matter how fast I am, it’s hard to run around.”

Ye Kong pretended not to hear Earth Mother's words.

“I’m not asking you to help, I just want you to secretly take care of them. In case of an accident, you can help them secretly.” Ye Kong continued.

Earth Mother glared at Ye Kong when she heard this.

“Ye Kong, they are your disciples, you can’t spoil them too much. If something happens to them… if something happens, it happens, it’s all fate.”

“You can’t interfere…”

“Are you going or not?” Ye Kong only asked one sentence.

Earth Mother: …

“I’ll go after I finish eating the Vermillion Fruit.” Earth Mother sat on the rocking chair, eating the Vermillion Fruit depressedly.

Only then did Ye Kong turn around and look at the crystal screen in the center, and murmured: “Their lives are guarded by me, Ye Kong!”

“Heaven can’t take it away either!”
