“What do you mean by ‘conflicts’? My grudge with that Lang Ya beast is irreconcilable,” Master Yunyang waved his sleeve and said, “Previously, it was for Lici’s future that I reluctantly cooperated with that Lang Ya old dog. It was merely a temporary measure.”

Lang Ya Enlightened One almost toppled over.

When they had invited him to pressure the master together a while ago, they were calling each other ‘senior brother’ affectionately. Now, after the event, it went from that Lang Ya guy, to Lang Ya beast, and then to Lang Ya old dog; this change was just too drastic.

Gong Yang Ce, standing behind Lang Ya Enlightened One, was also shocked.

What exactly was the grudge between his master and Master Yunyang? Their relationship had deteriorated to such an extent!

“Enough, enough, Master Yunyang has always been like this since he was young. If you argue with him about every little thing, you might just shorten your lifespan by hundreds of years,” Lang Ya Enlightened One practiced mindfulness, as always, hypnotizing himself, ignoring and blocking out Master Yunyang’s presence.

Various groups of people were taking their seats one after another.

“Hey, isn’t this Master Shouzhe? Today your Wang family is the big winner, huh? Occupying four spots in the Saint Son Competition alone,” a robust, perfectly-built man greeted with a beaming smile.

Naturally, this man was Ming Cheng Enlightened One from the lineage of the Glass Bright King’s Hall.

Behind him followed a woman with her hands behind her back, dressed in light yellow Profound Martial attire and carrying an extraordinary aura.

This woman, exuding an imperial majesty and power uncommon among ordinary women, who else could it be but Wang Luoqiu?

“Greetings, Elder Ming Cheng,” Wang Shouzhe stood up to salute, his eyes slightly amazed as he looked at Luo Qiu, “Could it be, Luo Qiu, that you are also participating in the Saint Son Competition?”

He harbored many doubts, wondering if Luo Qiu had unknowingly become one of the Unparalleled Heavenly Children.

“My Luo Qiu is merely a Second Rate Supremacy Bloodline of the Great Heavenly Proud; participating in the Saint Son Competition is just joining in the excitement,” said Ming Cheng Enlightened One modestly, yet with an air of profound mystery.

However, Wang Luoqiu behind him, embodying the essence of an ‘Empress’, showed a trace of embarrassment between her heroic brows. She had long discussed with her master and grandmaster that even obtaining a victory with Grade A Tianjiao Rating was a slim chance.

Yet, they did not believe in bad odds and ruthlessly gathered resources from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to secure an Eighth-grade Immortal Pill—a “Reborn Immortal Pill” that improved her Bloodline Talent from Grade B to Grade A!

The Reborn Immortal Pill’s effect on enhancing bloodlines was extremely powerful; even though she had already stepped into the Purple Abode Realm and her bloodline had reached the Sacred Body Level, under the protection of her grandmaster, she still suffered a lot to rise from Second Rate Supremacy to Tianjiao Rating A.

Wang Luoqiu was not afraid of suffering; what she dreaded was her grandmaster treating her Grade A bloodline as a trump card, conjuring a mysterious unpredictable air in front of her fourth brother, which was making her face flush with heat.

Besides, how could she tell her grandmaster that her niece and grandniece had already become World’s Best?

“Luo Qiu,” Wang Shouzhe encouraged, “no matter the outcome, just show your grace. Fourth brother believes that you will eventually step onto the Emperor’s Road.”

“I understand, old fourth brother…” Wang Luoqiu’s spirits lifted.

After Ming Cheng Enlightened One and Wang Shouzhe had ‘bragged’ about their grandchild, they said their goodbyes and began mingling with other enlightened ones.

“This time it’s really lively,” Jiang Zhencang sat squarely in the middle of the chairman’s seat, his gaze surveying his surroundings, “I did not expect, this time the number of participants in the Saint Son Competition greatly exceeds my session; there’s likely to be quite a fierce competition.”

“Master Jiang,” beside him, Enlightened One Tianlang pondered and also expressed his sentiments, “This time, probably only Profound Pill Pavilion and Purple Xiao Sky Thunder Peak will not participate; after all, the main practice of the Pavilion Master of Profound Pill Pavilion is alchemy and assistance, there’s simply no chance of victory…”

Tianlang Enlightened One was a middle-aged man of gentle disposition. He was the disciple nephew of Enlightened One Tianhe, about a thousand years old, presently the chief pulse master of the Tianhe lineage.

However, just as Tianlang Enlightened One finished speaking, Yuan Dan Enlightened One from the Profound Pill Pavilion arrived gracefully with a young disciple: “Who says we’re not participating?”

As an alchemist, Yuan Dan Enlightened One, who dealt with the Pill Furnace all year round, displayed a slightly cold personality, yet still carried an ethereal, graceful air, not at all inferior to Lang Ya Enlightened One in charm.

The male disciple behind him had a rounder appearance and looked rather affluent. The white and red crisscross pattern of the standard loose robes of the Profound Pill lineage wore snugly on his body, surprisingly producing the effect of tight clothing that made one worry it might burst unexpectedly.

This male disciple, of course, was the heir of the Profound Pill Pavilion lineage, Bao Bucheng.

Bao Bucheng hailed from a Fifth Grade Prominent Family in Return to Dragon City and showed outstanding alchemy talent from a young age, thus was sent to the Sacred Land for in-depth studies upon reaching adulthood. Now, he had become one of the central pillars of the Profound Pill lineage within the Sacred Land; even some much older elders couldn’t match his prowess in alchemy.

“Bao Bucheng has met all the enlightened ones and Master Jiang,” Bao Bucheng cheerfully bowed and greeted, his chubby figure trembling with each movement, adding to his amicable appearance.

“Bao Bucheng, are you also participating?” Jiang Zhencang looked at him askance, “Although the Saint Son Competition isn’t solely about martial power, you can’t lack it either, can you?”
