Chapter 3688: The Supreme Sect Master

were broken."Ah!"Feng Xiao Kuang, although he had stepped into the threshold of the Martial Saint realm, was ultimately a pampered wastrel who had never tasted hardship. Now, with his legs broken, he...Seeing the Huoshan Grand Formation being redeployed, everyone from the Lingyun Sword Sect looked on in astonishment.

Ye Bufan was incredibly talented at a young age, possessing astonishing cultivation that left them astounded. However, they were completely unaware that he was also a master array grandmaster of the highest order.

At this moment, they finally understood. The protective mountain formation wasn't malfunctioning; it had been completely broken by someone.

Whether in the Upper Heavenly Domain or Lower Heavenly Domain, Array Masters hold an extremely high status.

And the strength displayed by this Taishang Sect Master is at least above a ninth-order Immortal Array Master.

After this discovery, the humiliation they had just felt vanished, and instead, they felt a sense of glory.

Even a ninth-rank celestial array master is rare even in the Middle Heaven Domain, and they are honored guests of countless large sects. Smaller sects like theirs wouldn't even be able to invite them.

And now such an array master has become the Supreme Patriarch of their sect, it's a matter of face to speak of.

Ye Bufan ignored everyone's reactions. After doing all this, he followed Ling Jianfeng to the council hall.

All he needs to do now is prepare for the upcoming Token Battle, and he must get his ticket no matter what.

After a few people settled down, his gaze turned to Ling Jianfeng: "When will the four major sects begin vying for that token of the Hundred Sects Hegemony Tournament"

"Back to my master, in three days!"

"What are the rules Explain them to me!"

Ling Jianfeng said: "The rules were set by the three major sects and have been in effect for ten thousand years."

"As for the disciples participating, the only requirement is that they must be under a thousand years old. There are no other restrictions."

Ye Bufan nodded slightly, he understood this very well.

The ultimate goal of the Hundred Schools Competition is to select those who will enter the Ancient Secret Realm. The restriction there is under a thousand years old, and there will be no changes here.

The higher the ability, the better. As for the lower limit, there's no need to set it because if someone's ability is too low, they wouldn't even be eligible for selection in the first place.

That is why the threshold is set simply and clearly.

He asked again, "How do the Four Great Sects compete What is the method"

Ling Jianfeng said: "The way the competition is conducted is also fixed, four houses draw lots, two against each other, the winning side enters the final to compete for the last token."

Each sect can send five disciples, and each disciple can only participate in one battle.

That is to say, it's not enough for just one disciple to be outstanding. What is being assessed is the overall strength of the entire sect.

Ye Bufan asked: "Isn't the ultimate goal of the Hundred Schools Competition to enter the Ancient Secret Realm If there is one person strong enough, why set a threshold of five people"

Ling Jianfeng explained: "Master, you might not know this, the three major sects held the Hundred Sects Hegemony Competition. Although the ultimate reason was the Ancient Secret Realm."

But such a large-scale event certainly has more than one purpose. Through the competition, those major sects can also select outstanding disciples.

I guess that's the reason why each sect is required to send five disciples.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. If it were like the Three Families Alliance, where one person could challenge all the contestants, then he would be enough.

This is different from situations that require five participants. Even if you win, the other four losing will be disqualified.

It's too late to summon Xia Qing and the others back to the celestial realm now. The immediate priority is to quickly improve the strength of these people around them. Fortunately, the opponents' strength isn't very high, so the difficulty isn't great.

Once Ling Jianfeng had finished explaining everything, he asked, "What were the strengths of the five people who were originally going to compete"

“The five of us who were going to participate in the competition before, the Fifth Elder was at the middle stage of Da Luo Xian, my son was at the early stage of Da Luo Xian, and there was also one person at the early stage of Da Luo Xian and two at the peak of Da Zhi Xian.”

"Elder Five" Ye Bufan asked, "He hasn't lived over a thousand years yet"

"No." Ling Jianfeng was a bit embarrassed. "He's exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine years old this year."

Ye Bufan also saw his predicament. It's definitely not a glorious thing to send someone of this age into battle, and this shows the predicament of Lingyun Jianzong as well.

"How strong are the other four major sects"

They are much stronger than us. The most powerful among them is a late-stage Daluo Immortal, while we are only middle-stage Daluo Immortals.

The most crucial point is that their overall strength surpasses ours. They don't even have a single Great Immortal, while we possess two at the peak of the Great Immortal realm. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to assemble a team of five.

Speaking of this, Ling Jianfeng shook his head and gave a wry smile. "For so many years, although we have been making efforts, we are still at the bottom after all. We rank fourth among the four major sects."

"Not this year."

Ye Bufan said, "Arrange a quiet room for me, and tell Elder Wu and the others to wait for me at my door tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

Ling Jianfeng agreed with a sound and brought Ye Bufan into a luxurious small building within a sect.

This was a house he had built for himself before, but never got around to moving into.

"Alright, go busy yourself."

Yè Bufàn let Gōngsūn Hóng move into the room next door, then led Luò Bīngyán into the small building.

After entering, he set up several protective barriers and took out his pill furnace to start alchemy.

Previously, I obtained a Tian Luo Zhu Yu Fruit at an auction. Now it's just in time to use it to refine a furnace of Tian Luo Dan.

Half an hour later, the air was thick with the aroma of herbs. Nine pills flew out one after another and landed in his jade bottle.

The color is round and plump, with golden veins shining brightly, all of which are top-grade.

Alchemical refinement was merely the first step; after that, he pulled Luo Bingyan along, her figure flashing as they entered the Dragon King's Hall.

Ye Bufan took out all the storage rings he had robbed before, plus his own family fortune. After a simple calculation, there were more than ten million mid-grade Xianjing.

This mainly comes from Huo Fenggu and Ling Jianfei, these two representatives of the sect went to participate in the auction, each with four or five million immortal crystals.

Everything was ready, he sat cross-legged in the center of the fairy crystal, beginning to circulate the primordial immortal energy to elevate his cultivation.

As time passed, the mountain of spirit crystals began to dwindle rapidly.

About a quarter of an hour later, the last fairy crystal also vanished into thin air, but his strength was still at the mid-stage of Daluo Immortal.

"Damn it, that's over ten million! The key is just a little bit short of breaking through!"

Ye Bufan opened his eyes and couldn't help but wince. His Chaotic Immortal Technique was really too resource-intensive.

He finally grabbed the small jade bottle beside him and swallowed all six pills in one breath.

As soon as Tianluo Dan entered his mouth, it melted away instantly, quickly transforming into a surging tide of Xian Yuan that began to rampage within his body.

Moments later, his aura surged dramatically, reaching the late stage of a Da Luo Immortal.

"Finally, I made it."

Ye Bufan let out a long sigh of relief and casually put the small jade bottle away.

Luo Bingyan had been watching from the side, and seeing that a single breakthrough consumed so many Xianjing, she was astonished.

Nearly ten million fairy crystals, even the previous Luo family wouldn't dare to dream of such a wealth. Such abundant cultivation resources would be enough for countless people to ascend to the Great Luo Immortal realm.

"Stop looking around and focus on improving your strength!"

Ye Bufan swept up Luo Bingyan, who hadn't had time to react, and carried her into the nearby main hall.o you."What she said was true. If Ye Bufan hadn't subdued Zhao Fangshu and Lei Wanjun, even if she only had a few years left to live, she would have gritted her teeth and persevered.Otherwise, without...
