Chapter 838: Chapter 55: This Time, I Must Profit

Now, it is understood that the State Lord governs the Divine Land through the Four Great City Lords and the Golden Scale Guard, and indirectly manages the various sects through the identity of the Celestial Destiny Sect.

"Whose status is higher, the City Lord or the Sect Master?"

"The City Lord and Sect Masters are not subordinate to each other. The Sect Master of a major sect actually has considerable influence. In case of major issues, they are resolved through consultation, and if unresolved, they are judged by the State Lord. Generally, disputes do not reach the State Lord. The laws of the Divine Land have fixed rules for important resources, and usually, the Sect Masters do not appear, as the Steward Elder manages mundane affairs."

"Are there any Fallen in the Divine Land?" Li Xin asked.

Que Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, "Yes, this area is handled by the Golden Scale Guard. Of course, everyone despises the Fallen, and disciples of the various sects take action when encountered. However, strangely, the Fallen always exist and are quite formidable."

Li Xin pondered, the Divine Land is definitely not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. Strange laws, powerful constraints, and mist. If it weren’t one of the Holy Lands, he would suspect it being a part of the Holy Land. Immortals can enter and exit the Divine Land, implying that the laws here are not absolute, at least not applicable to Immortals. They can weaken the strength of Immortals but cannot break the Undying Power of Immortals.

The rules here need to be constantly explored. What exactly is Old Fang up to, or does he just want Li Xin to help the Martial Heart Sect to make amends for the damage he caused back then?

"Commandant, according to my information, the Vajra Institute will seek revenge on you. The Vajra Institute is a very powerful sect in Cyan Dragon City, known for vengeance and employing unscrupulous means." Que Mingyuan couldn’t help but remind.

Li Xin nodded, "What is their strongest level?"

"Golden Core Peak, cough cough, their Sect Master won’t show up."

"So, they are at the Peak of Five Lives? Do they have a Sixth Grade?" Li Xin asked, knowing that having a Great Angel could be troublesome.

"Their Sect Master is at Golden Core Peak, and several Elders are in the Early or Mid Golden Core Stage." Que Mingyuan said worriedly, as it is dangerous for the Commandant to provoke such a sect.

"Oh, then it doesn’t matter." Li Xin waved his hand, feeling relieved, "By the way, is there a Magic Artifact here that would allow one to break the laws and unleash power above the Fifth Grade within the Divine Land?"

Li Xin thought he should be more cautious.

Que Mingyuan shook his head, "Haven’t heard of such a thing. At least until now, it hasn’t appeared. Magic Artifacts or Secret Treasures are also constrained by the laws."

Then it’s fine, as long as they are all suppressed by the laws of the Divine Land, it’s stable.

"Additionally, you didn’t drink last time and gave it away, but the person didn’t drink either, which made Elders Yun Yu and Yun Le very upset, and it’s likely the Young Sect Master isn’t too pleased either." Que Mingyuan reminded.

"What are the ways to obtain the identity of a Celestial Destiny Sect disciple?" Li Xin asked.

"Commandant, there are generally two ways. Each sect has internal quotas based on their level, and outstanding disciples enter the list as candidates. Another way is the martial fight of Jiuxiao Building, where the top ten on the Red List enter the list as candidates. After becoming candidates, they are chosen by the State Lord to become Celestial Destiny Sect disciples. There’s also a case of exceptionally talented ones who are selected by the State Lord at a young age, known as Heaven’s Chosen. Examples include Celestial Sword Sheng Yuan of Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Dragon Fist Ku Zhi of Celestial Dragon Temple, Wisdom Sword Qin Miaoyin of Miaoyin Pavilion, Tyrant Xiang Long of Fire Mist Sect, and Spirit Sword Yi Shen of Infinite Sword Sect." Que Mingyuan said.

"Arrange for tonight’s competition. I want to participate, and opponents can be stronger. If there are people from Vajra Institute, don’t let them idle. I’ll initiate a triple streak." Li Xin said, "By the way, find me a nearby house, doesn’t have to be too good, quiet, convenient for me to settle down under this identity."

"Yes, Commandant, I happen to have a house at the end of an alley, not large, but clean and secluded." Que Mingyuan was a bit worried, but looking at the Commandant’s demeanor, it might be part of a plan, so he had to execute it.

"What kind of person is Bao Yu’Er?"

Que Mingyuan looked solemn, "Captain, at my level, I can’t quite reach that, but Jiuxiao Sect as an Earth-level Sect, the Young Sect Master must be very formidable."

***

The announcement of Jiuxiao Building was posted, and the onlookers immediately became lively. The reckless loose cultivator came again, stepping on Vajra Institute and punching Three Pristine Sect, making Ren Yanli a standout figure.

In the generally stable pattern of the Divine Land, the disciples of the various sects are of comparable strength, without any outrageous differences. Suddenly emerging as an anomaly, Li Xin directly stirred waves in the calm Martial Arts Arena, causing everyone to want to see how far he could go.

And he initiated a triple streak again.

The triple streak directly served as the finale and accepted challenges. Previously, only the top-notch experts of Divine Land dared to initiate triple streaks, like Xiang Long, Qin Miaoyin, etc. Triple streaks are the standard of elite experts, and they do not adapt, starting the challenge right away, continuously battling until all are convinced. However, since these five are already Celestial Destiny Sect disciples, they don’t need to prove themselves in Jiuxiao Building.

Li Xin entered the venue early, mainly for the free food and drinks. As soon as he sat down, he saw a familiar face.

Xiao Yan sat down at Li Xin’s table nonchalantly, "Brother Ren, you finally came. It’s been boring without you these past two days."

"Brother Xiao, still considering investing in me?" Li Xin laughed.

Upon this mention, Xiao Yan’s face turned red. Losing a bit last time, money wasn’t the issue, just a bit embarrassing, not expecting Ren Yanli to be so capable in combat. But it’s okay, this time, he’s betting.

"This time it’s a bit difficult, you have been targeted. Mixed Vajra Huyan Zhuolei of Vajra Institute and Chu Zhan of Three Pristine Sect will surely accept the challenge, be careful, especially Chu Zhan, who was in last year’s Red List top ten and already a candidate for the Celestial Destiny Sect. Although without a rank now, he is much stronger than Duan Zhengyang, more capable of challenging the first tier." Xiao Yan said.

Li Xin looked at Xiao Yan with a smile, "Thanks for the reminder, Brother Xiao, but it’s okay. You can bet more. If you win, treat me to a meal."

"Brother Ren is so confident, it seems he is determined to win over Bao Yu’Er." Xiao Yan said thoughtfully.

"Ah, what’s it got to do with Bao Yu’Er?"

"I thought about it yesterday. Your move to feign indifference is quite effective. Think about it, Bao Yu’Er, having been favored from a young age, is used to praise and affection from those around her. Suddenly encountering someone like you, an outlier, might pique her interest."

"Then wouldn’t you have caught her attention as well yesterday?" Li Xin replied indifferently.

"Hmph, I don’t like that kind of pretentious vixen. We are not the same." Xiao Yan replied proudly.

"We are the same. Look, you came to profit, and I’m here to profit too. If they let me, I’d bet my fortune on myself."

"Small enjoyment is fine, mess it up, and you offend the Jiuxiao Building. Since Brother Ren is so confident, I’ll bet two hundred gold as a gesture." Xiao Yan smiled.
