“Competition of the Chosen?”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

In the pursuit of cultivation and immortality, all speak of seeking eternal life and the Way, but how many can truly achieve immortality and have the Way last forever?

The Way of Immortality is nothing more than a hope to cling to. The majority of cultivators care more about the present.

For fame, for profit, for lands, for beauties, for their own desires, they fight and scramble, they compete and kill!

This is the norm in the Cultivation Realm.

Wherever there are people, there is the Martial World.

But such cannot be the case within a single power.

Thus, deadly fighting is downgraded to arena combat, which is only natural.

Family competitions, Sect competitions.

All kinds of contests are endless.

Apart from a few Loose Cultivators, which Cultivator has not participated in a competition?

These events can be interesting, but they can also be dull.

It all depends on how you handle it.

If it’s a fierce battle with real swords and spears, full of tension and excitement, then it’s certainly interesting.

But if it’s child’s play, small fights, and pretense, or even rigging the results and rankings, then there’s no point in watching.

“Is this time’s competition the Green Jade Mountain’s contest, or is it for the entire Liang Kingdom Cultivation Realm?”

“Judging by Green Jade Mountain’s attitude, it should include the whole Cultivation Realm; everyone can participate.”

“So what? The disciples of Green Jade Mountain will also take the stage, do you still have the guts to best them?”

“Indeed, it’s their first major competition. If an outsider wins, where would Green Jade Mountain put its face? And where would King Shifa put his face?”

“You talk as if you could win. The disciples trained by King Shifa are probably stronger than the true successors of the Three Sects. If you really have the ability to surpass them, so what if you offend King Shifa?”

“Exactly. Now in the Liang Kingdom Cultivation Realm, the Golden Core Cultivators are nearly wiped out, those remaining have joined King Shifa as Law Enforcement Elders, and they will certainly not take the stage. Among the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who can rival the disciples of Green Jade Mountain, especially the few true successors of King Shifa? Going on stage would only be a humiliation to themselves.”

“I wonder what the rewards are…”

The crowd buzzed with discussion, though most were not very enthusiastic.

It was an inevitability.

The Competition of the Chosen was being held for the first time.

Logically and sentimentally, Green Jade Mountain’s disciples should come out on top.

These outsiders were there to add to the excitement; how could they steal the spotlight?

Even if King Shifa didn’t care, they had to maintain their proper status.

Such were the subtleties of human relationships.

But…

“In this grand competition, all Cultivators may sign up.”

“The competition is of two main types, one is cultivating skills combat, and the other is a showcase of talents!”

“Cultivating skills combat needs no further explanation; each uses their own methods on the arena, the strong win and the weak lose!”

“As for the talent showcase, it consists of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation competitions — alchemy, talisman, artifact, array, farming, beast taming… etc., each has its own assessment and evaluation.”

“Whether it’s cultivating skills combat or a talent showcase, both use a point system. The winners of the combat will earn a large number of Azure Cloud Points, and even the defeated will receive some points based on their performance.”

“According to the Azure Cloud Points, the competition will determine the final winner through rounds of battles, with their name recorded on the Azure Cloud Rankings!”

“Azure Cloud Points can be exchanged on the Azure Cloud Rankings for Cultivation Techniques, elixirs, talismans, Magic Artifacts, and other rare and exotic treasures, as well as Spiritual Objects and resources.”

“Indeed, the Competition of the Chosen, an ascent to the Azure Clouds!”

As he spoke, Bai Yunzi flew up into the air, and the platform below disappeared with him.

In midair, without regard for the astonished gazes below, he tossed something down.

As it fell and caught the wind, it grew, and within the dazzling Spirit Light, it transformed into a giant jade stele, a hundred zhang tall.

“Boom!!!”

The stele fell to the ground with a roar, standing in the center of the venue, stirring up a cloud of dust.

“Whoosh!”

In the next instant, a gale blew through, clearing the dust and revealing the amazed faces of the crowd.

Bai Yunzi landed gracefully beside the Green Jade stele and his proclamation reached the ears of the gathered Cultivators.

“The affairs of the Competition of the Chosen are all recorded on this Azure Cloud Ranking. This Ranking is a treasure of the Spell King, profound and infinite. Fellow Cultivators, you only need to channel your divine thoughts and connect with it to understand the rules of the Competition of the Chosen and the rewards and rankings on the Azure Cloud Ranking. The method to register and enter the competition is also included, you may explore it on your own.”

Having said this, Bai Yunzi did not wait for any reaction from the crowd and flew away into the clouds.

After an unknown amount of time, the crowd came out of their stupor, looking up at the hundred-zhang-tall, emerald-green “Azure Cloud Ranking,” unsure of what to make of it.

A moment later, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator tentatively channeled his divine thought into the Azure Cloud Ranking.

Then they saw…

“Azure Cloud Qi Refining Rankings, Qi Refinement Realm, top ten, first to third place, reward includes one Supreme Grade Foundation Building Pill and one Supreme Grade Magic Artifact, fourth to sixth place, reward includes one High-Grade Foundation Building Pill and one High-Grade Magic Artifact…”

“Azure Cloud Foundation Establishment Rankings, Foundation Establishment Realm, top ten, first to third place, reward includes one Forming Core Spirit Object and one Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, fourth to sixth place, reward includes a bottle of thunderbolt creation pills and one High-Grade Spiritual Artifact…”

“Azure Cloud Spirit Plant Farmers Rankings, Spirit Plant Farmers, top ten, first to third place, reward includes a Spiritual Vein Cave Mansion on Green Jade Mountain, a bottle of thunderbolt creation pills…”

“Azure Cloud Beast Taming Rankings, Beast Tamers, top ten, first to third place, reward includes a Spiritual Vein Cave Mansion on Green Jade Mountain, a thousand catty of third tier Spirit Rice…”

“Azure Cloud Pill Master Rankings, Alchemists, top ten, first to third place, reward includes a Spiritual Vein Cave Mansion on Green Jade Mountain, a Low-Grade Magical Treasure Green Jade Pill Furnace…”

“Azure Cloud Talisman Master Rankings, Talisman Masters, top ten…”

“Azure Cloud Tiangong Rankings, Artifact Refiners, top ten…”

“Azure Cloud Array Formation Rankings, Array Masters, top ten…”
