Chapter 598: Chapter 406: Thousand Laws Body

Fang Yun began a new round of analysis on the information.

The final conclusion was that there was at least a seventy percent chance his theory was correct.

That was a very high probability.

’A Nascent Soul Stage Ghost Cultivator...’

Fang Yun was already wondering, how many Talent Points could he get for killing an Early-stage Nascent Soul Ghost Cultivator?

So far, the highest Realm he had ever killed was a Late-stage Core Formation Demon, which had provided tens of millions of base Talent Points. An Early-stage Nascent Soul Ghost Cultivator should provide at least five hundred million base Talent Points, right?

Before the Sacrificial Refinement and upgrade of his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Profound Jade Sword, Fang Yun hadn’t entertained any thoughts of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator. After the upgrade, however, the idea had begun to cross his mind.

With his current strength, trying to kill an Early-stage Nascent Soul Ghost Cultivator would certainly be extremely difficult. But even if that Duan Shiling broke through to the Peak of Core Formation, he would have only just entered that realm. It would still take him a long time to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

By that time, Fang Yun would have long since broken through to the Late-stage Core Formation, and his strength would have increased even further.

Once he broke through to the Late-stage Core Formation, he should be capable of killing an Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

’Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage is not that easy. Even if Duan Shiling of Ghost Head Castle’s plan is what I think it is, his chances of successfully reaching the Nascent Soul Stage are not high. So even if I want those Talent Points, it’ll be difficult to get them.’

With enough strength to back him up, Fang Yun wasn’t worried even if Ghost Head Castle became a new Nascent Soul Influence.

The current threats to the Celestial Cloud Sect were still those established Evil Dao Nascent Soul Influences.

Just as Fang Yun was finishing up with matters, Miao Qinghong entered from outside.

"Sect Leader."

"Elder Miao, what can I do for you?"

"It’s about the Four-Sect Trial." Miao Qinghong stated her purpose directly. "Is the Four-Sect Trial still going to be held?"

"What are your thoughts?" Instead of answering Miao Qinghong’s question, Fang Yun asked for her opinion.

"Of course, it must be held!"

"Then we’ll hold it."

Fang Yun went along with Miao Qinghong’s wishes. Given the current situation, holding the Four-Sect Trial would have almost no impact on them.

It was better to just go with Miao Qinghong’s opinion on matters like this to avoid disagreements and another argument.

Among the sect’s Supreme Elders, Miao Qinghong was the one he argued with the most.

"Good."

"By the way, Elder Miao, isn’t the Wind Ling Sect more affected by the decision to hold the Four-Sect Trial?"

In their clash with the Dragon Demon Palace, the Wind Ling Sect, whose overall strength was far inferior, was still under considerable pressure.

"The Wind Ling Sect’s position is that if we participate in the Four-Sect Trial, they will too."

"I see."

Fang Yun nodded, having no further questions.

...

The Four-Sect Trial began on schedule.

The Elders and disciples of the four sects had already arrived at the border between Star Moon Valley and the Vast Sea Sect’s territory.

The Four-Sect Trial was held once every ten years, and for the last few events, disciples of the Celestial Cloud Sect had taken the top spots.

The Celestial Cloud Sect had a large number of disciples, which meant more high-quality ones. For the other Three Sects facing the Celestial Cloud Sect, the competitive pressure was growing, while their final rewards were dwindling.

"In the last Four-Sect Trial, we swept the top four spots on the individual leaderboard. This time, we have to take the top five."

"Not only that, but our lowest-ranked person on the individual leaderboard can’t be below fiftieth place!"

The twenty-five disciples from the Celestial Cloud Sect were chatting amongst themselves.

Their conversation was all about the individual leaderboard; team points were no longer a topic of discussion for them.

"Senior Brother Ling, are you confident you can break the all-time record for the Four-Sect Trial’s individual leaderboard?"

"Junior Sister Fang, don’t joke with Senior Brother Ling. The record for the individual leaderboard was set by our Sect Leader—a full one hundred and seventy-five points! That’s way higher than the second-highest score in history."

"I’m still confident I can challenge the second-highest score in history," said Ling Feibai, the strongest among them.

Among the disciples participating in this year’s Four-Sect Trial, Ling Feibai’s strength was undisputed. He possessed Dual Element Spirit Roots and the special Thousand Laws Body constitution.

The Thousand Laws Body allowed one to learn techniques extremely quickly, and the power of their techniques was different from that of a normal Cultivator.

In the rankings of special constitutions, the Thousand Laws Body was considered mid-tier, slightly higher than the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Body, which was also mid-tier. Its advanced version, the Ten Thousand Laws Body, was something else entirely.

A special constitution ranked at the bottom of the list, combined with Dual Spirit Roots talent, was enough to become one of the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Core Formation Seeds. As someone with the Thousand Laws Body, Ling Feibai had been a Core Formation Seed for the sect from the moment his special constitution was discovered.

「On the other side.」

The twelve Elders from the four major sects were also chatting at this moment, waiting for the Secret Realm to open.

The topics of conversation among the Elders were mostly related to the current situation.

At the same time, the Elders of the other Three Sects gradually began to defer to the Elder from the Celestial Cloud Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, has your Wind Ling Sect been able to cope recently?"

"Of course, we’re coping. If we really couldn’t, we wouldn’t have agreed to start the Four-Sect Trial."

The Wind Ling Sect shared a number of territories that border Ghost Head Castle.

In total, the border territory they shared was even greater than the territory the Dragon Demon Palace shared with Ghost Head Castle.

"Fortunately, the Ghost Cultivators from Ghost Head Castle supporting the Dragon Demon Palace are all operating within Dragon Demon Palace’s territory. If a large number of Ghost Head Castle’s Ghost Cultivators were to run over to our Wind Ling Sect’s territory, the Four-Sect Trial would have to be postponed."

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Lei, I heard that both the Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect have been making moves lately."

"They have, but it’s all just been minor-scale activity. The sect hasn’t assigned many tasks to us Elders, but there have been quite a few for the disciples. If it weren’t for the Four-Sect Trial, at least half of them would have gone to accept missions."
