Chapter 1272 - 18: Four Unparalleled Powers Assembled!

And the Lingxu Realm is also known as the "Saint Realm", ranking second among the many bigshots of the current world.

Aside from the few True Immortals and True Demons, it is the Lingxu Realm powerhouses who hold the highest status.

If they develop well and have family support, Lingxu Realm powerhouses qualify to establish a nation. Even if they don’t, a family with a Lingxu Realm cultivator is considered a First-Grade Noble Family.

Whether the Struggle of the Imperial Sons or the Struggle for the Saint Son, it all boils down to the fight for the inheritance of the Treasure Manual!

Back when Emperor Longchang secretly passed on the Treasure Manual to Emperor’s Son An, Wang Shouzhe didn’t even see it. To be honest, this was his first time seeing the Treasure Manual with his own eyes.

"How fast time flies, is it time for a new Saint Son Struggle again?"

By now, the little spirit girl condensed from the Lingyun Treasure Manual was completely awake and had moved from a reclining position to sitting cross-legged.

She glanced arrogantly around the crowd and lazily said, "I hope the candidates this time are decent, and I can pick a successor to my liking. Unlike the last time, where I had to choose the best of the mediocre, and even reaching Mid-stage Lingxu was a struggle."

"..." Jiang Zhencang looked slightly embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Miss Lingyun, there is a candidate this time who has impressive talent, guaranteed to satisfy you."

"Oh?" The Treasure Manual Spirit, Lingyun, said with an indifferent expression, "Then I’ll await eagerly to see."

"Alright, let’s skip the small talk. Youths from each lineage who want to join the Struggle for the Saint Son, step forward." Jiang Zhencang waved his hand, "Our Saint Land isn’t as ceremonial as the Imperial Family; everything depends on your own skills."

Although the opinion of the Imperial Family can partially influence the inheritance of the Lingyun Treasure Manual, even Jiang Zhencang couldn’t sway Lingyun’s decisions.

However, the Imperial Family’s opinion matters because they and the Lingyun Sacred Land need to cooperate long-term. Naturally, it’s best if the current Saint Master and the current Great Emperor are in sync. Otherwise, when they face off on the battlefield in the future, they’ll trip each other up, and wouldn’t that be entertaining?

However, this particular Saint Son Struggle is unique; Emperor’s Son An didn’t even show up, so naturally, he won’t be giving any opinions.

"This time’s Saint Son Struggle will be up to me, Zhen Shicong." Zhen Shicong from the Nanming Li Fire Lineage was the first to fly up.

In his hand appeared a [Nanming Lihuo Fan] out of nowhere; his graceful demeanor was exceptionally outstanding.

Perhaps, due to extensive study recently, his cultural insight had increased.

"How is your bloodline quality?" Lingyun was used to seeing various Great Celestial Prides and didn’t even glance up as she casually reminded, "Once inside the cocoon pod, your bloodline quality will be automatically scanned. There’s no use reporting falsely now."

"Great Celestial Pride Grade A," Zhen Shicong said proudly.

"What?" uttered Yu Nianyun from the Celestial Demon Illusion Lineage, astonished, "Senior Brother Zhen, weren’t you Grade C?"

"Junior Sister Nianyun, let me teach you a lesson." Zhen Shicong said with a smile, "In life, one must always keep a trump card. Declaring I’m Grade C is to numb the competitors, making them overlook me and underestimate me. By the time I reveal my A-grade talent, wouldn’t it shock everyone?"

With an expression of pure frustration, Yu Nianyun said, "I’m so mad, you’ve been deceiving me all along."

"Don’t be mad, Junior Sister Nianyun. The promises I made before still stand. Once I become the Master of the Saint Land, I’ll take you to enjoy the finest dining." Zhen Shicong comforted her.

From the podium, Celestial Fire Zhenren also laughed heartily, "This time, our Nanming Li Fire Lineage will give it our all. It’s about time our lineage becomes the Master of the Saint Land."

In order to improve Zhen Shicong’s bloodline quality, the Li Fire Lineage tried every possible way.

"A-grade?" Artifact Spirit Lingyun was somewhat interested, scrutinizing Zhen Shicong, "Even though just freshly entering A-grade, it’s much stronger than the last time. Once the inheritance is accepted, barely reaching Unparalleled Grade D’s mid-stage is feasible. With sufficient initial resources, there’s hope to reach Mid-stage Lingxu."

"As the Treasure Manual Spirit, I naturally prefer inheritors with good bloodline quality. Do your best; as long as other aspects aren’t lacking, you have a good chance of becoming the Saint Son this time." Lingyun’s attitude towards him became much friendlier.

"Thank you, Sister Lingyun." Zhen Shicong felt several pounds lighter and began ascending the steps.

"Little girl, what’s your bloodline level?" Lingyun turned to Yu Nianyun.

Starting with an A-grade, that’s already better than the last time, which lifted Lingyun’s spirits, making her no longer as languid.

"Sister Lingyun, I possess the White Tiger Battle Body bloodline, just entering A-grade too..." Yu Nianyun sighed.

"What? Junior Sister Nianyun, you were deceiving me too!" Zhen Shicong exclaimed, shocked.

Unexpectedly, Junior Sister Nianyun, who seemed naive, could also deceive!

"Senior Brother Zhen, same here. Even though our Celestial Demon Illusion Lineage can transform into fierce beasts, it doesn’t mean we lack brains. I wanted to lower the attention on me too." Yu Nianyun sighed, "I just didn’t expect you to be A-grade too."

Clearly, the two had thought alike.

"Heh, then let’s see what we’re made of, Junior Sister Nianyun!"
