Chapter 857: Chapter 758: Preparing for Battle!

By evening, the afterglow of the sunset had dyed Mount Tian red, and Yan ended his long conversation with Chu Xuanji. However, he did not leave immediately; instead, he unexpectedly called Ye Fan, Chu Ji, and Su Liuli together.

"The Hidden God List Tournament is the most important event in the modern cultivation world, held once every ten years. In terms of scale and value, it far surpasses the Qing bang Tournament."

Facing the sunset, Yan looked at the three of them and said word by word: "Whether in the era of nations or in the era of alliances, various forces place great importance on the Hidden God List Tournament. They all send their strongest geniuses to participate, to showcase their strength and compete for rankings!

However, this time, the Hidden God List Tournament is very different from before, specifically in the following aspects.

First, the previous theme of the Hidden God List Tournament was ’Reviving Martial Arts, Recreating the Prosperity of the Cultivation World’. This time, the theme is ’Defend Earth, Resist Mutant Beasts’!"

In other words, the purpose of this Hidden God List Tournament is to prepare for future resistance against mutant beasts!

Second, due to the significant meaning of this Hidden God List Tournament, which almost pertains to the survival of humanity, the rewards are very generous!

According to the proposal of the tournament committee, the Six Major Alliances each contributed one million Essence Stones, totaling six million Essence Stones as rewards, distributed to the top ten contestants!"

Six million Essence Stones?!

Hearing the rewards stated by Yan, Chu Ji and Su Liuli were directly stunned!

Even Ye Fan, who had received a cauldron of Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid, was shocked!

Back then, in the Qing bang Tournament, Lv Zhan relied on Ye Fan to defeat Emperor Bai and won fifty thousand Essence Stones from the Du Sect, causing a great deal of pain to the elders of Du Sect, who even considered installment payments. Ultimately, Lv Zhan had to resort to mentioning Ye Fan and Chu Xuanji behind him to reluctantly bring out fifty thousand Essence Stones.

Besides that, Ye Fan looted the entire Japan Cultivation World to obtain only a few hundred thousand Essence Stones!

Yet this time, the rewards for the top ten in the Hidden God List Tournament amount to six million Essence Stones...

More than ten times the total amount of Essence Stones in the entire Japan Cultivation World!!

"Master Yan, six million Essence Stones, it’s hard for even a single alliance to come up with, isn’t it?" After the shock, Chu Ji asked.

"Hmm, no single alliance can come up with six million Essence Stones alone."

Yan nodded and said, "This indirectly shows how much the major alliances value this Hidden God List Tournament!

The emphasis is because, according to predictions, the time when the mutant beasts will launch a full-scale attack on humans is approaching. The major alliances fear that the younger generation might not mature in time, hence they offer huge rewards to support their cultivation, significantly shortening the growth period so they can fully mature before the war arrives!

And the reason for targeting the top ten is simple—the race war between humans and mutant beasts, though involving all cultivators, is ultimately decided by the number of top-tier strong people, their power!

The value of this Hidden God List Tournament is unimaginable! Including Andre and other six supreme geniuses considered as ’Future Saviors’, all have emerged to participate.

This means those who make it into the top ten are true geniuses, comparable to geniuses of the Ancient Cultivation World. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they will surely grow into Supreme Strongmen, becoming the main force of the war between humans and mutant beasts!

Moreover, among the top ten geniuses, someone might break the laws of the modern cultivation world in the future, surpass that legendary realm, and become the protagonist who rules this war!"

Upon hearing Yan’s words, Ye Fan was not surprised.

Before he went to the Australia Continent, Yan had told him similar words—the hope of the existing Supreme Strongmen to eliminate mutant beasts lies with the younger generation!

"This time, the Hidden God List Tournament has only one real restriction—Gang Qi Introduction Realm! Any cultivator at the Gang Qi Introduction Realm can participate! This means, including the older generation of cultivators!"

"Master Yan, since the Hidden God List Tournament is a competition among young geniuses, why let the older generation of cultivators join?"

Su Liuli was a bit puzzled.

"To increase the intensity of the competition. The older generation of cultivators, most of them have been at the Gang Qi Introduction Realm for a long time. In terms of talent, they may not match some young geniuses, but their combat power is definitely not weak. In this way, only the true Heavenly Prides can defeat them in the competition, achieving the purpose of survival of the fittest!"

Yan explained, "High value, intense competition, this is the third difference of this Hidden God List Tournament from before!"

"How many Essence Stones can the first place get?"

As Yan’s words just fell, Ye Fan immediately asked.

Facing Ye Fan’s question, Yan was first taken aback, then understood his intention and replied with a bitter smile: "First place, three million. Second place, one million. Third place, five hundred thousand. The rest are divided between fourth to tenth place."

"Three million..."

Ye Fan silently chanted the number, his heart throbbing.

Three hundred thousand Essence Stones.

Whether for his own cultivation or helping Chu Xuanji recover his strength, they are crucial!

"Xiao Fan’s goal is to be first, which is understandable, but you two shouldn’t aim too high; setting your goals at the top ten, or even the top twenty, would be sufficient."

Understanding Ye Fan’s thoughts, Yan then said to Chu Ji and Su Liuli: "Besides, on the Huaxia side, there are Lv Zhan from the Lv Family, and my disciple Leng Feng, who are hopeful for reaching the top twenty."

Ye Fan was slightly taken aback.

Back in the Qing bang Tournament, because Leng Feng was too domineering and repeatedly offended him, he was beaten and never appeared again.
