Chapter 364: The Truth About the Temple of Cultivation

The fourth-place finisher in the telepathic group is surprisingly human!Liu Yongye!His abnormal abilities left the judges at a loss for how to grade him.Ren, with his sheer strength, took first place.Death Thought, with the most powerful destructive power, came in second.Li Shaoshu and Liu Yongye's scores were almost identical.One scored 97.8, the other 97.5.One possessed a strategic-level weapon, the other a nearly unstoppable soul attack.This generation of human telepaths possessed unique skills.The Sword Showdown a few months ago allowed all realms to witness the prowess of Li An, a human.This time, the three realms witnessed the current level of the human realm—it was truly extraordinary.The ancient Shura realm wasn't bad either, but it was still one point weaker than the human race.The demon realm was dead last. Neither the martial artist group nor the mind power group had a spot in the first division, nor did they have a spot in the team leader. There was only one, Lin, who no longer wanted to call himself a demon.One could even say that the demon world was completely annihilated.By the bedside.Li An wondered, "Why is the demon world so different?"Shuangxue said, "Because the demon world doesn't realize the importance of this era.""My father said that the ancient Shura world sacrificed the entire power of the ancient Shura ancestor, transforming it into good fortune, which feeds back to the people born in this era.""But he also said that the demon world is not simple either."Shuangxue suddenly became nervous and whispered, "Yesterday, my father told me something very important."Li An, sensing the gravity of the situation, looked serious."What's wrong?""The ancient Shura world and the demon world will be our enemies in the future!""Hmm?" Li An raised an eyebrow. Frost Snow said seriously, "The God Realm, which once suppressed the heavens and myriad realms, has now begun to wither.""Openly, the human realm is the source of unrest and the God Realm's greatest enemy.""But my father said...""None of the Eight King Realms wants to occupy the God Realm's place.""The Ancient Shura Realm sacrificed their ancestors' power just to give it a try.""The Demon Realm is deliberately appearing weak to the enemy. They aren't pinning their hopes on the next generation. They'll probably use special means to directly enhance the strength of the Demon Realm's current powerhouses, making the top demons even more powerful."Frost Snow paused, then said, "In the future, there will be a chaotic war among the heavens.""If the old king cannot maintain his throne, it will be time for the new king to ascend.""That's all my father told me.""He reminded me that after entering the Cultivation Temple, I should avoid getting too close to the other two clans, lest they take action."Li An's face was thoughtful. "What I mean is that the three realms are actually in a competitive relationship, a life-or-death struggle.""Right now, everyone is simply competing for each other's resources through reasonable means.""Right?""Yes!" Shuangxue nodded."The stage competition is over now.""In three days, we will officially report to the Cultivation Temple.""I'll be separated from you for a while then.""My father told me that in the first year, the three groups won't be practicing in the same place.""Each group will compete internally to earn Cultivation Points, which can be exchanged for resources from the other race.""I'll be separated from you then, and you'll have to work hard on your own."Shuangxue squeezed Li An's hand and said seriously, "One more thing.""You must reach the Seventh Realm in the first year.""Because the gameplay in the second year may change based on realm.""We're currently seeing the mid-realm ascension... Pills are all appetizers, and what you really want to grab is the Flying Pill in the Upper Realm. ”"But only players in the seventh level are eligible to join that level of competition."Ang Lee frowned and said, "I understand.""After entering, the most important thing is to compete to seize resources from other clans, and then break through the territory, reaching the seventh realm before the end of the first year, right?""Yes!" Shuangxue said seriously: "By the way, after you go in.""A contestant who has a one-stage game will receive an additional 500 points of saint cultivation every month.""A year later, re-segment and you must get another section!""Okay!" Ang Lee pointed."Yes." Shuangxue pursed her lips and said, "Then we will practice each of us in the next two days and meet each other on the last day. Is it okay?""Of course." Ang Lee chuckled."Then I'll leave first." Shuangxue patted Ang Lee's hand, kissed him on the forehead, and said affectionately: "I also need to improve my cultivation and strive to gain more resources for the human race.""Come on."After saying that, she smiled and raised her small fist.Li An also raised his calloused right fist, bumped fists, and said with a smile, "Keep fighting!"The next day.Li An had fully recovered.Zhao Shaolong sent a message to all the human warriors in the martial arts group.Everyone met in a restaurant in the Spark Region.Zhao Shaolong sat at the head table.Li An and Liu Jun sat to his left and right, followed by Lin He, Guan Ditian, and the others.Everyone took their seats.The lower-ranked fifth- and fourth-dan players were a little reserved.Zhao Shaolong was the first to toast them. At this level, the alcohol was effortless."What martial artist doesn't drink? Come on."Zhao Shaolong raised his glass high, looking everyone in the eye, without a trace of condescension.After everyone finished their drinks, Zhao Shaolong's cheeks flushed instantly, making it seem as if he had a ridiculously low alcohol tolerance. "Ahem!" Zhao Shaolong cleared his throat and quickly told the ten martial artists present about the Cultivation Temple.Li An listened, hearing exactly what Shuangxue had said yesterday.The others, however, were completely unaware of this news.When they heard that the demon race and the ancient Shura Realm were also enemies, they all looked shocked.But Zhao Shaolong seemed oblivious and continued on.After he finished, his expression straightened and he said solemnly, "So, do you all understand why I invited you here?""I want everyone to understand one thing.""The competition between the geniuses of other races in the Cultivation Temple will not be friendly; it will be a life-and-death struggle!""The competition begins the moment you enter the Cultivation Temple.""The first round is a test of physical fitness.""Speed, strength, martial intent, and physical strength—four aspects.""Those ranked higher will earn sufficient Cultivation Points, while those ranked lower will earn fewer.""This has nothing to do with rank.""The stage competition is just... An opening prize represents only some illusory status and a small allocation of resources."The subsequent competition will be among the 44 martial artists.""And I want everyone to understand one thing.""A significant portion of the resources redeemable for Cultivation Saint Points come from the human race.""And all resources are limited!""The more resources the demon race exchanges with the ancient Shura Realm, the fewer we can exchange!""The more we exchange, the greater the losses for both realms.""The Cultivation Saint Temple is not a place for learning, but a massive, barely maintained facade of respectability." Grand Arena.""Except for the lack of a life-and-death struggle.""Swearing, fighting, and even resorting to underhanded tactics to prevent the opposing race from obtaining resources are inevitable.""Today, all eleven of our compatriots have gathered here.""I hope we will all unite.""We are not eleven individuals here, but one whole.""No matter what strange rules we encounter in the Sanctuary, we must help each other. Don't worry about how many resources I personally gain, but how much we can collectively gain.""I, Zhao Shaolong, can ignore most of the "Whoever performs well and can displace the enemy will receive my Cultivation Sainthood.""Li An!"Zhao Shaolong looked at Li An and said, "You are the only one of the human race who has reached the first stage. Please state your opinion."Li An stood up, raised his glass, and said with a smile, "I have only one thing to say.""If there must be a life-or-death struggle in the Three Realms, the one who survives must be the human race!""I can give up all the resources I've earned in the Cultivation Sainthood Temple to help everyone cultivate.""I only have one request: everyone prioritizes the collective good!"This statement raised a few eyebrows and sparked suspicion.Giving up all resources for our cultivation?Doesn't this sound a bit boastful? Li An suddenly smiled broadly and said, "You may not know this.""My wife, Shuangxue, has a special medical condition, allowing her to progress automatically without any cultivation resources.""So, most of her Sainthood points will fall into my hands, and I can share my own share with everyone."Finally, Li An took a deep breath, drained the wine in his glass, and said, "I don't want to disappoint her, and I hope you won't disappoint me either!"Li An then looked at Lin He and said, "What you care about is what I care about.""I can also contribute my resources."Li An then looked at Guan Ditian.Guan Ditian said seriously, "My father is the First General. Protecting the interests of the human race is my innate responsibility."Liu Jun suddenly looked up and said something different.He said calmly, "I really don't like what you just said about sacrifice and dedication."He even looked directly at Zhao Shaolong.Zhao Shaolong frowned.Everyone fell silent.Everyone looked at Liu Jun with strange eyes. But Liu Jun's expression was magnanimous and calm."Only the weak need to sacrifice others to achieve victory.""We are not weak.""Our primary pursuit is not sacrifice, but victory.""Winning directly, winning every medal in every competition!""No one needs to sacrifice, and everyone can have a good life!""That's the mindset I think we should have!"Liu Jun paused, then glared at everyone with a stern gaze. "Being afraid before the battle is a grave offense!""I don't want sacrifice! Because sacrifice challenges the most vulnerable part of human nature!""I want victory! Only victory can truly ensure everyone's well-being!""What do you think?"
