Chapter 197: Chapter 171: Profound Yellow Leader, Supreme Realm

“Arrogant!!”

Below the arena, many couldn’t help but shout these two words.

But they weren’t scolding Chu Huaixu; rather, it was the unconscious Heir of Prince Rui.

People from the East Continent were sure they hadn’t heard wrong; the Heir of Prince Rui had earlier said—how dare you!

“Damn it, what do you think, you’re in your Moon Country?”

“What’s the matter, are you untouchable as part of the imperial family?”

“What’s so daring about it, our Daoist disciples will fight against your Moon Country Royal Family!”

Everyone found Chu Huaixu’s response satisfying to hear.

—The battle for the leader was meant to be like this!

The two were representing their respective continents; do you expect them to go easy on you?

Why should they?

This Heir of Prince Rui who always trained diligently, was suddenly seen by these Easterners as a spoilt prince.

Accustomed to luxury, no doubt!

But this is the East Continent, this is Mirror Country, not a place for you to throw your weight around!

On the high platform, Eunuch Li, already well accustomed to his regime, instantly moved to the arena and began checking Qin Xuexiao’s injuries.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, although the injuries are severe, they haven’t reached the core.”

He sighed in relief and quickly fed him an elixir.

After completing this, Eunuch Li then looked with malicious eyes at the young man in the black robe opposite him.

However, at this moment, cheers resounded from all around!

“Profound Yellow Leader!”

“Profound Yellow Leader!!”

This was the home ground of the Daoist Sect, and the disciples had already started to shout loudly.

The Four Great Sects always supported each other when facing the West Continent.

So, even Kuimu Quan, who had been fiercely humiliated by this pair of Daoist lovers, was cheering for Chu Huaixu!

Everyone had seen the strength of this Heir of Prince Rui.

But precisely because he was so strong, the title of Profound Yellow Leader was well justified.

Chu Huaixu stood in the arena, enjoying the crowd’s cheers.

Xiang Yan and others sat on the high platform, looking at the spirited young man.

There was still a month until the opening of the [Origin Spirit Realm].

They only hoped he could return safely.

Such a talent, coupled with being the heir to the Dao Ancestor, he was truly the future of our Daoist Sect!

Only Old Niu, utterly loyal to the [organization], looked at Chu Huaixu with eyes full of disbelief.

He couldn’t believe that Huo Dingyi would overpower the Crown Prince and claim the title of Profound Yellow Leader.

Moreover, even so, to show no mercy at all, directly injuring the Crown Prince severely.

Standing in the center of the arena, Chu Huaixu began to survey all around.

When he met eyes with Han Shuangjiang, the two exchanged a smile.

Then, his gaze quickly found Old Niu in the crowd, and they locked eyes across space.

Niu Yuanshan looked at this young man’s eyes, which were so calm, frighteningly calm!

But it was this utter calmness that made Old Niu’s heart suddenly a bit panicked.

…

…

The critically injured and unconscious Heir of Prince Rui was taken away for healing by Eunuch Li.

It was only then that Xiang Yan stood up, channeling spiritual power, and announced with his grating voice:

“I hereby declare, the winner of this East and West Continent Tournament is the Daoist Sect disciple Chu Huaixu!”

The crowd below began to cheer once more.

Next, Chu Huaixu stepped onto the stage to receive a token engraved with the words “Profound Yellow Leader.”

This token, which appeared to be for show, to display one’s status, was actually a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Its primary effect was to calm the mind, prevent entering into a demonic state, and stabilize the Sea of Consciousness.

Its defense attributes inclined towards divine sense attacks.

Of course, at this moment, it was not a reward but more like a medal.

On the surface, the Profound Yellow Leader’s prize would be bestowed by the Four Great Sects jointly.

After all, this was equivalent to bringing glory to the East Continent, not just the matter of one sect.

But in reality, it granted the qualification to enter the Origin Spirit Realm to obtain Profound Yellow Origin Fragments, thereby opening the Nine Realms Dao.

Its preciousness far surpassed the likes of Super Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Sect Leader Xiang Yan bent down, personally placing the Profound Yellow Leader’s identity token around Chu Huaixu’s waist.

After completing this, another tidal wave of cheers erupted from the crowd below!

The Daoist Sect would hold a grand feast today in both the Outer and Inner Sects, allowing all disciples to revel for a night.

Lin Zixuan, with her veiled face, couldn’t help but be captivated by Chu Huaixu not far away.

“I didn’t expect, even with the Crown Prince aided by me, he’d still lose to him.”

“So next, is it his turn to enter the first layer of the Origin Spirit Realm?” the young girl thought.

“Should I help him?” she was somewhat torn in her heart.

This Divine Level Assistance, due to a special Spiritual Embryo, could temporarily lend her Power of Divine Sense and Spiritual Power to others.

This power might also be brought into the [Origin Spirit Realm].

It was equivalent to giving someone a buff.

Lin Zixuan grew up in Prince Rui’s Mansion, somewhat like a foster daughter, or perhaps akin to a child bride?

“I’ll ask Brother Prince then.” thought the petite young girl.

After all, regarding the great calamity of heaven and earth, it transcended distinctions of East or West Continent.

…

…

The tournament officially ended, and the Martial Arts Arena began to disperse.

There was still some time until the evening banquet.

Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang walked side by side toward the bamboo cabin, and everyone they met along the way would congratulate them.

After returning home, he said to Big Ice Cube, “I need to meditate in the house for a while.”

“Alright,” she replied.

After Chu Huaixu sat down on the meditation cushion, he began to receive the task rewards for the [East and West Continent Competition].

In an instant, he unlocked the next stage’s [Origin Spirit Realm] task.

The first thing he claimed was 100,000 Experience Points.

After defeating Qin Xuexiao, Chu Huaixu gained 40,000 Experience Points.

This brought his total Experience Points close to 550,000!

“That’s a huge fortune,” he thought to himself.

This gave him another layer of confidence in entering the Origin Spirit Realm.

“I’ve never fought such prosperous battles at the low tier!” Chu Huaixu felt completely unafraid.

Next, he began to claim the random Special Attribute Points.

Regarding this, he had a vague idea of the result in his mind.

Sure enough, the pointer stopped on [Gathering Spirit].

He closed his eyes and began to feel the frantic increase in his body’s Spiritual Power.

After a while, he let out a long breath.

“Before, with only [Gathering Spirit 1], I already felt that the “Dao Scripture” was extraordinary in terms of Spiritual Power.”

“Now I can’t even imagine, if it were Gathering Spirit 10, what kind of scene would that be!”

“If the Dao Ancestor is also naturally gifted in this aspect, then the Spiritual Power within him must be frighteningly vast, probably never exhausted,” he began to analyze the Dao Ancestor.

As for the 1 point of designated Special Attribute Point yet to be claimed, it still couldn’t be added to [Spiritual Embryo Attribute].

Chu Huaixu looked at [Physique] and [Comprehension], feeling conflicted.

Finally, he glanced at the nearly 550,000 Experience Points on his Character Panel, gritted his teeth, and decided to “grow brains” again.

Thus, Comprehension was now equal to Physique, both at 6 points.

A refreshing sensation arose, and he felt mentally refreshed and incredibly clear-headed.

Now, there was only 1 point of [Spiritual Embryo Attribute] left unclaimed.

Chu Huaixu sat firmly on the meditation cushion and slowly closed his eyes.

He was in sync with the [Heart Sword], able to detect all its conditions.

He vaguely felt that there might be something different when the Spiritual Embryo reached the Sixth Level.

“Previously, in the Secret Realm, after obtaining the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill, the Spiritual Embryo jumped to the Third Level in one go.”

“Then it awakened the Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques, achieving Sword Heart Clarity.”

“Now, in the blink of an eye, it’s about to reach the Sixth Level.”

“The sixth level is the limit of a Middle Grade Spiritual Embryo.”

Chu Huaixu calmed his mind and silently recited in his heart, “System, claim the reward.”

Instantly, a warm current emerged within him, flowing throughout his body.

Gradually, it began to converge toward Chu Huaixu’s Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection.

“Hot, so hot!”

He only felt his body beginning to inexplicably heat up.

This sensation was like being thrown into boiling water.

If it were an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand such an ordeal.

But Chu Huaixu felt it was manageable.

Once he endured this scorching heat flow, his body began to experience a new anomaly.

To be precise, it was another kind of heat.

——Stifling heat!

Chu Huaixu: “…”

This had nothing much to do with the pain threshold.

What’s going on, this time the Spiritual Embryo upgrade felt like taking tonics!

Not only were his cheeks red, but his whole body was also somewhat flushed.

Chu Huaixu forcibly calmed down to avoid letting his mind wander to inappropriate thoughts.

The Profound Yellow Leader Order hanging at his waist began to play its role at that moment.

Its calming effect activated spontaneously, bringing him a wave of coolness.

As time ticked away, the sun outside was almost setting.

Chu Huaixu felt his Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection seemed to be expanding?

Soon, the last surge of energy headed toward the [Heart Sword] within his Sea of Consciousness.

The sickly Heart Sword began to frantically absorb this energy at an almost greedy speed.

As if it were the lifesaving medicine for this “dying” sword.

Its condition started to gradually improve.

The sense of sickness was gradually dissipating.

Until this energy was fully absorbed, a translucent ripple spread out from Chu Huaixu as the center.

It was now close to the time for the night banquet.

Both in the Outer Sect and Inner Sect, many disciples had already set off.

Along the way, people gathered in groups of three or five, many discussing today’s battle for the Leader.

“This Crown Prince of Prince Rui, I don’t think he has much style.”

“It’s really interesting, he even looks similar to Junior Brother Chu in clothing!”

“For three consecutive editions of the First Realm’s grand competition, East Continent has won; West Continent must be ashamed.”

“Isn’t it obvious, the fortune of heaven and earth is with our East Continent!”

While everyone chatted, a visible translucent ripple spread out like ripples in water.

Wherever it reached, if one held a sword, the Sword Spirit would suddenly become excited.

Soon after, the Spirit Sword would emit a series of sword cries!

Not long after, this ripple spread throughout the entire Beyond the Mountain area.

Before the banquet for celebrating the Profound Yellow Leader, a myriad of swords resonated in unison!

Even the slender Daoist Nun sitting in the Purple Bamboo Forest had her wooden hairpin in her hair start to tremble slightly.
