Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 236 - Gracious Sword Rankings Tournament Commenced!



[Host, please confirm the new suppressed cultivation - Fourth Level of Qi Condensation Realm]

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, 'Yes, that will be my new cultivation realm.'

[Suppressed cultivation successfully changed.]

[New cultivation: Fourth Level of Qi Condensation Realm.]

[Kill Points consumed: 150 Kill Points.]

Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but be surprised at this prompt, 'System, I thought you would be telling me how many kill points it will take and then I will be confirming; also there's the Aura Suppression Pill… all those steps were skipped?'

[Host, those things would only waste your time, and repeating the same questions would be of no use.]

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, 'I understood that part, just wanted to see if there was any other reason.'

'Never mind that now, tell me, how much time do we have before Elder Lai Chang opens the gate?'

[Elder Lai Chang will be here in a few minutes.]

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and inspected the room once again. He didn't wish to leave any clues regarding his practice session or his knowledge of the spirit vein in the adjacent room.

'Let's first understand the situation outside and make plans accordingly.'

Just as he finished his thoughts, the gate of the hall began to creak.

It slowly opened, and Ye Tian Yun saw the first human after a month of cultivation in seclusion.

It was Elder Lai Chang.

He was standing in front of the gate, with his hands behind his back.

Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but frown as he saw the unnatural expression over his face.

It was because Ye Tian Yun was standing straight in front of the gate, opposite Elder Lai Chang.

However, Elder Lai Chang wasn't even looking at him; he was staring at random places.

After a few moments, Elder Lai Chang opened his mouth, still staring at a random spot, rather than Ye Tian Yun, who was standing just in front of him in the hall.

"Disciple Fang Chen, your one month has come to an end; come with me and head back to your cultivation abode."

Ye Tian Yun nodded and moved towards him, still confused about the prior situation.

But just as Ye Tian Yun came close to the door, something dawned upon him - he finally remembered the reason behind this.

It was the array on the door - it prevented anyone from seeing the inside of the hall.

The array had prevented Ye Tian Yun too when he was standing outside the hall a month ago.

As he crossed, Ye Tian Yun felt like he had passed through the wall.

He had 'felt' the array on his face while passing through the door.

Ye Tian Yun turned around to look at the door, and as expected, it had turned into a white screen.

Letting out a sigh, he turned around and cupped his fists at Elder Lai Chang.

In response, Elder Lai Chang nodded his head and said, "Disciple Fang Chen, good to see you in great condition; looks like you have reaped a lot of benefits from this chance."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head. "Yes, Elder Lai Chang, this month was a great boost to my cultivation."

Elder Lai Chang nodded with a smile, "That's good to hear. I was afraid that you might waste your time and end up losing a golden opportunity. It's good that you understood the importance of this chance."

Seeing Ye Tian Yun nod his head, Elder Lai Chang continued and asked, "What's your current cultivation now? Is it enough for you to enter the Gracious Sword Rankings?"

Ye Tian Yun was confused, "Gracious Sword Rankings? Aren't they supposed to be two months later from now?"

Elder Lai Chang shook his head, "That was the old plan, now a lot of things changed after the Sleeper Cell attack last month."

"Oh? I only know about the lockdown imposed in the sect." Ye Tian Yun pressed on the topic. He wanted to know if there was going to be anything interesting which he could make use of.

Elder Lai Chang nodded his head and gestured to him, "Let's head to the Grand Meeting Hall. I will tell you on the way."

As they walked, Elder Lai Chang started, "Alongside the lockdown, there's also a thorough background check of the Sect Disciples going on, but that's not being done openly."

"However, one interesting thing that happened was the sudden change in the schedule of Gracious Sword Rankings."

"Sect Leader Su announced the change to the higher-up on the next day after the assassination, and a week later, it was announced to the disciples once all arrangements were made."

"Even the stages of this time's tournament were changed, and from the looks of it, this time it's based more on Sword Cultivation. The tournament was moved two months earlier than its scheduled time, and all disciples are eligible to participate in the tournament - be it core, inner, or outer court disciples."

Ye Tian Yun was surprised by this change, but he was unfazed because he didn't need to worry about this tournament.

Seeing Ye Tian Yun's calm reaction, Elder Lai Chang asked, "So, what are your plans regarding this tournament? I don't suppose you would like to miss such a good chance."

Ye Tian Yun instead asked, "Why is this tournament so important, Elder?"

Elder Lai Chang gave him a weird look, "Of course it's important, don't you wish to take part in the Grand Spirit Hunt?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head and made up something, "Elder, I feel like I am not yet ready for this. I don't have much actual combat experience. High cultivation won't be enough to get good results in such a big event. I will need to have experience of real-life and death battles."

Elder Lai Chang frowned and then nodded his head after a few moments, "Well, you do have a good point. However, did you assume that we would send you straight to the Grand Spirit Hunt as soon as you're selected?"
