Chapter 956: 954, Preliminary Contest

Luo Shu’s face was filled with joy, and she was just about to activate the communication talisman to contact Xiao Yao when the talisman in her hand lit up.

"Brother Xiao Yao!" Luo Shu shouted as she activated the communication talisman.

"Where are you now?" Xiao Yao asked.

Luo Shu looked around, "I’m by Qingyuan Lake."

"I’m there too. In which direction approximately are you? We’ll come to find you," Xiao Yao said. He had tried contacting Luo Shu earlier but ended up getting in touch with others first. Although they were teleported to different places, they weren’t too far from each other.

"I should be upstream. I’ll come to you guys," Luo Shu said, while her Divine Sense swept out and quickly spotted Xiao Yao and his group.

"Okay, then we’ll wait for you right here," Xiao Yao said, before cutting off the connection. That’s just his style, never liking to waste words.

Luo Shu put away the communication talisman and walked towards the direction of Xiao Yao and his group.

Seeing Luo Shu approaching, Xiao Yao and the others stood up from the ground.

"Luo Shu, I heard from Xiao Yao that you are going to Green Cloud City. Sasha and I plan to go to Despair Forest for training, so we won’t accompany you," Gongsun Yi said. He waited for Luo Shu to arrive just to bid her farewell. He was incredibly grateful to her for not only saving his wife’s life but also for their gains.

"Luo Shu, thank you so much this time! I hope we have the chance to meet again," Luosha said gratefully. If it wasn’t for Luo Shu giving her the Mystic Jade Twin Branches, she would have had only a month to live.

Luo Shu smiled and shook her head, "Sister Luosha, no need to be so polite!" She gave them the Mystic Jade Twin Branches because they were decent people.

"Then we will take our leave first. See you again in the future!" Gongsun Yi bowed to Luo Shu and the others, then took Luosha’s hand and walked away.

"See you again! Take care!" Luo Shu watched as Gongsun Yi and his wife walked away.

Returning her gaze, she looked at Xiao Yao and Xu Zhe, "Brother Xiao Yao, Brother Xu, what are your plans?"

"I’ve already made arrangements with Yun Han," Xiao Yao said with a smile. Right now, his only thought was to improve his Strength; he was almost completely overwhelmed by Luo Shu.

Luo Shu took out two Storage Bags and handed them to Xiao Yao, "Brother Xiao Yao, take one of these Storage Bags, and please give the other one to Yun Han." She put Blood Essence Demon Fruits in both bags. If it hadn’t been for meeting Yun Han, she would never have had access to the True Cultivation World. If not for meeting Xiao Yao, her Cultivation would not have improved so rapidly, nor would her family have established themselves in the True Cultivation World. She had always kept their kindness in her heart and would repay them well when the opportunity arose.

"I don’t need mine," Xiao Yao handed one of the Storage Bags back to Luo Shu. He had already obtained a lot in the relic and was very satisfied.

"Brother Xiao Yao! This is a token of my gratitude; if you don’t accept it, I’ll be upset," Luo Shu said, pretending to be stern.

"Alright then, I won’t be polite," Xiao Yao said with a laugh as he put the Storage Bag into his Storage Ring.

After parting with Xiao Yao, Luo Shu drove the beast carriage towards Green Cloud City. Hanmo had already reached Crimson City and was now hurrying to the Teleportation Array; he would likely reach Green Cloud City before her.

The beast carriage sped quickly on the road, from White City to Green Cloud City, with a vast desert in between.

Upon entering the desert, the speed of the beast carriage slowed down.

As the sandstorm grew stronger, the beast carriage began to sway, forcing Luo Shu to put away the carriage and proceed on foot.

Lu Hanmo halted the carriage, and Ye Lifeng jumped down.

Looking around, "There are quite a few people who want to teleport; let’s go line up."

Lu Hanmo put away the beast carriage, and walked towards the Teleportation Array with Ye Lifeng.

"You’re all heading to Green Cloud City, aiming for a spot in the Middle Plane, aren’t you?"

"Of course. If we miss this chance, we’ll have to wait another ten years," the cultivators in front of Lu Hanmo were discussing.

"Even without hope, it’s worth a try."

"Is there a selection process to go to the Middle Plane?" Lu Hanmo asked Ye Lifeng.

Ye Lifeng nodded, "In the Lower Realm, there is a selection competition every ten years for a place in the Middle Plane, choosing only a thousand people each time. If missed, one would need to wait another ten years. The selection competition rotates through six cities, and this time it’s Green Cloud City’s turn." He felt quite content in the Lower Realm; at least with his current strength, few could overpower him here. But in the Middle Plane, his capabilities would be insignificant, open to being dominated by others.

"When does the selection competition start?" Lu Hanmo asked. Missing this opportunity would mean another ten-year wait. He and Shushu certainly couldn’t wait that long, although whether they could make it in time to participate was unknown to him. The focus for him right now wasn’t on whether they could get selected but on the hope of trying.

You’re not thinking of participating, are you?" Ye Lifeng looked at Lu Hanmo in disbelief. Although there are Extreme Immortal Cultivators in the selection competition, those who make it to the finals are very few.

"Yes!" Lu Hanmo nodded.

"I think it’s best if you don’t enter. Each selection competition is extremely intense, especially those from sects, families, and academies; their means are particularly ruthless, and the cultivators they fight against rarely survive," Ye Lifeng said. He witnessed the gruesome process of the selection competition ten years ago.

Lu Hanmo nodded, "I understand. When does the selection competition start?" Nothing is ever accomplished by mere luck; without struggle and effort, one can never understand how hard success can be. But he will also act according to his capabilities; if the difference in strength between him and his opponent is too great, knowning a win is impossible, he won’t force it.

"In three months," Ye Lifeng sighed helplessly, "Lu Hanmo, I still hope you’ll give up." Throughout their journey, although they hadn’t spoken much, he had come to regard Lu Hanmo as a friend.

"Thank you!" Lu Hanmo smiled with a slight grin.

"What are friends for? Once we reach Green Cloud City, I’ll take you to Liangyi Sect; Liangyi Sect has a Yin Yang Stone, which is said to have an excellent effect on cultivation," Ye Lifeng smiled.

"I don’t think Liangyi Sect would agree, right?" Although he had never been part of a sect, he knew that a sect’s treasures were not easily lent to outsiders.

"As long as I get my father to intervene, they will definitely agree," Ye Lifeng said confidently. Although the time allowed might not be long, some is better than none.
