"...In previous times, the Tri-Immortal Sects' Ascension Ceremony was actually conducted separately! Each sect held its own, without interference!"
"But this time, the Tri-Immortal Sects are preparing to jointly hold the Ascension Ceremony, with all competitions consolidated!"
What?
The "Holy Son of Emptiness" frowned.
"The Tri-Immortal Sects are preparing to jointly hold the Ascension Ceremony? Why create such a spectacle? Is it another one of the old man's ideas?"
"No, no!"
The "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" denied.
"This is the suggestion of the Sect Master of Yingzhou Sword Sect, who said it would enhance the exchange between Holy Sons, promoting mutual improvement!"
"That's right, this Tri-Immortal Ascension Ceremony has also added a new rule: prospective Holy Sons from different sects can challenge each other, but each person only has one challenge opportunity."
The "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" said in a deep voice.
"Holy Son, the Sect Master has instructed me to remind you that you must be careful of the threats from the prospective Holy Sons of the other two sects!"
The "Holy Son of Emptiness" was indifferent, and he asked casually.
"Why set up such a boring rule?"
Boring where?
This "rule" was clearly designed to target you!
The "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" grumbled inwardly.
The prospective Holy Sons of the other two great sword sects were all "well-deserved"; their strength matched their status, and they had no fear or worry of being challenged.
As for the "Holy Son of Emptiness," I'm sorry, if it weren't for "Immortal Swordsman Yu Hua" strongly supporting him from behind, his position as "Prospective Holy Son" would have been replaced long ago.
The "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" said.
"Reporting to the Holy Son, this rule has an additional clause: if the challenge is successful and the challenger is recognized by the Inherited Saintess, the challenger can take their place and become the new Holy Son, crossing sects!"
Wow!
This is quite novel!
"The Holy Son of Emptiness" laughed heartily and said happily.
"Isn't this tailor-made for me?"
You finally realized, it wasn't easy!
The "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" looked at the "Holy Son of Emptiness" with relief, and then he was stunned. Why was the "Holy Son of Emptiness" acting so happy? You are being targeted, shouldn't you be nervous and apprehensive?
At this moment, he heard the "Holy Son of Emptiness" speak again.
"Under such rules, if handled properly, I, the Holy Son, might very well win over all three Inherited Saintesses, becoming the unprecedented Tri-Immortal One Holy Son!"
The "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect"
o( (⊙﹏⊙) )o
Stunned speechless!
So, Holy Son, you're really thinking of wishing for the moon, ah, no... dreaming of peaches!
Winning over three Inherited Saintesses?
Becoming the unprecedented Tri-Immortal One Holy Son?
You're not serious, are you?
Are you really that confident?
The "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" wanted to persuade the "Holy Son of Emptiness" to be more rational and stop daydreaming.
But in the end, he considered it and gave up.
Good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost!
With the "Holy Son of Emptiness's" sky-high confidence, persuasion would be useless; only the harsh reality could wake him up.
The "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" chuckled inwardly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Thinking about it now, I'm actually a little excited!
Excited to see the "famous scene" of the "Holy Son of Emptiness" being utterly defeated by other "prospective Holy Sons."
At that time, let's see if he's still so confident!
With these thoughts in mind, the "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" felt very happy. A slight smile curved his lips, and he took his leave.
As soon as the "Envoy of Penglai Sword Sect" left, the "Holy Son of Emptiness's" expression immediately turned grim and unpleasant.
Seeing this, Ling Weifeng's heart stirred.
Could it be that the "Holy Son of Emptiness" was just pretending before, and he actually knew very well that he was being targeted?
Wow, I didn't expect the "Holy Son of Emptiness" to be such a scheming person...
Before this thought from Ling Weifeng could fully form, he heard the "Holy Son of Emptiness" speak.
"Brother Ling, I'll tell you a secret. I actually don't want to be a Holy Son at all, nor do I want to marry any Inherited Saintess!"
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Ling Weifeng immediately realized that the "plot direction" was very different from what he had imagined.
As expected, the "Holy Son of Emptiness" then said.
"A man like me is destined to mingle with ladies all over the world, that's true romance and enjoyment, a life well-lived! To marry one Inherited Saintess, no, to marry three Inherited Saintesses and only mingle with them for life... I'm sorry, a life of romance and freedom is not for me!"
Ling Weifeng
(￣ェ￣；)
As expected, the "Holy Son of Emptiness" wasn't worried about being targeted at all; he was already contemplating his life after marrying three "Inherited Saintesses."
Hey, hey, hey, "Holy Son of Emptiness," don't think too much, okay?
Forget about marrying three "Inherited Saintesses," under these rules specifically targeting you, it would be difficult for you to even marry your "Penglai Sword Sect's Inherited Saintess"!
Also, please don't insult the phrase "a life of romance and freedom."
Your "mingling with ladies" – is that really mingling? That's just "talking big"! It has no actual meaning!
What kind of romance is that!
You're just "talking big" anyway, what's the difference between talking to the "Inherited Saintesses" or talking to "ladies"?
There's no difference...
There were simply too many "points of contention," and Ling Weifeng could barely keep up with them!
Finally, Ling Weifeng couldn't help but remind him.
"Holy Son, the Tri-Immortal Ascension Ceremony will undoubtedly be filled with masters, a fierce dragon and tiger fight. Do you have the confidence to win?"
The "Holy Son of Emptiness" nodded without hesitation.
"Of course, I, the Holy Son of Emptiness, will surely win!"
Ling Weifeng
(￣ェ￣；)
Alright, I'm sorry, I was wrong, forget I asked!
At this moment, the "Holy Son of Emptiness" suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ling Weifeng, inviting him.
"Brother Ling, would you be willing to participate in the Tri-Immortal Ascension Ceremony with me?"
Huh?
Ling Weifeng almost thought he misheard. He was an outsider, let alone not a "prospective Holy Son," he wasn't even a cultivator of the "Tri-Immortal Sword Sect." How could he participate in the Tri-Immortal Ascension Ceremony?
The "Holy Son of Emptiness" chuckled and explained.
"Brother Ling, the Tri-Immortal Ascension Ceremony has a special rule: each prospective Holy Son can bring one guest cultivator to participate!"
Huh?
This is allowed?
Ling Weifeng was utterly speechless.
"This rule is simply too..."
Too outrageous!
I've never heard of "fair competition" allowing "external help," this is utterly ridiculous!
The "Holy Son of Emptiness" could never guess others' thoughts. Hearing Ling Weifeng's unfinished words, he laughed heartily and interjected.
"That's right, this rule is indeed too reasonable!"
Reasonable?
Ling Weifeng
(￣ェ￣；)
Holy Son, please enlighten me, what is reasonable about this "outrageous rule"?
