The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1069 - 1067: Martial God Platform!

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1067: Martial God Platform!

Lin Bai returned to his residence, freshened up, changed into a clean and neat White Robe, and made his way to the Second Peak.

Martial God Platform!

Today in front of the Martial God Platform, quite nearly a few hundred thousand Warriors had gathered, all converging here, waiting for the Spiritual Child Battle to commence.

The Spiritual Child Battle was the grand annual event atop the Five Peaks.

Every year during the Spiritual Child Battle, all the strong ones from the Earth Elixir Realm would return to vie for the position of the Spiritual Child and also for the Cultivation Resources of the Holy Heart Spirit Pool!

The Holy Heart Spirit Pool possessed spiritual energy more than ten times that of the outside world, making it an excellent place for breakthrough into the Heavenly Elixir Realm.

Thus, the warriors of the Five Peaks, especially those who had achieved Great Perfection of Earth Elixir Realm, all aspired to go to the Holy Heart Spirit Pool to utilize its spiritual energy to break through to the cultivation of the Heavenly Elixir Realm.

There was an insurmountable gulf between the Earth Elixir Realm and the Heavenly Elixir Realm.

One being of the Earth, and the other of the Heaven, as their names imply, were extraordinary!

In the outside world, without an extraordinary twist of fate, a warrior wishing to break through from the Earth Elixir Realm to the Heavenly Elixir Realm would need at least five to six years of accumulation, and for those less talented, it might even take more than a decade.

Take Wei Tianyi and Liu Baoshen for instance, who had become Spiritual Children and visited the Holy Heart Spirit Pool five or six years ago, but due to their insufficient talent, they failed to break through to the Heavenly Elixir Realm in the pool and even five or six years later, they still had not made the breakthrough!

It shows just how difficult breaking through to the Heavenly Elixir Realm was.

Therefore, the Holy Heart Spirit Pool is a crucial cultivation site that all warriors of the Earth Elixir Realm yearn to visit!

Thus, each year’s Spiritual Child Battle was always bustling with excitement.

...

"So many people? Are they all here to participate in the Spiritual Child Battle?"

Lin Bai arrived in front of the Martial God Platform and saw it packed entirely with Warriors, most of whom were from the Earth Elixir Realm, with hardly any from the Human Elixir Realm.

He estimated that the number of Warriors from the Earth Elixir Realm here probably exceeded three hundred thousand!

Lin Bai had never dreamt that there could be so many Earth Elixir Realm warriors in the Five Peaks.

But upon further reflection, Lin Bai realized it made sense: these warriors usually either sought fortunes on the Chi Xian Sect Battlefield or hunted Spirit Puppets in the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm, seldom appearing atop the Five Peaks.

Only the annual Spiritual Child Battle would bring them all back.

Lin Bai found a secluded spot in front of the Martial God Platform and began to wait.

While waiting, Lin Bai’s gaze swiftly scanned the crowd, looking both for strong individuals and for acquaintances.

"Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu!"

Lin Bai looked in one direction.

At that moment, Lin Bai saw Jian Ruohan, Yejian Qiu, and Dou Ning all had arrived in front of the Martial God Platform.

"Jian Ruohan has actually reached the eighth level of Earth Elixir Realm cultivation, while Yejian Qiu is already at the ninth level, and so is Dou Ning," Lin Bai chuckled lightly.

"It seems they truly found considerable fortunes in the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm," he noted.

"In just a short span of ten plus days, they managed to break through several levels!"

Lin Bai pursed his lips in a smile: "If I can obtain a Spiritual Child seat and qualify for a visit to the Holy Heart Spirit Pool, I can opt not to go to the Holy Heart Spirit Pool first but head to the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm to break through to Great Perfection of Earth Elixir Realm first!"

"Then move on to break through to the Heavenly Elixir Realm in the Holy Heart Spirit Pool!"

"That would be the fastest pace for my cultivation!"

Lin Bai smiled faintly.

"Kang Yiyang and Kang Shiyun..." Lin Bai looked in another direction and saw the siblings, Kang Yiyang and Kang Shiyun: "Kang Yiyang can already move around; it seems his recovery is going well."

"Let’s go over and say hello."

Lin Bai walked over.

"Senior Brother Kang, Senior Sister Kang," Lin Bai approached them smiling and called out.

Kang Yiyang and Kang Shiyun both greeted Lin Bai with a slight smile.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Senior Brother Kang, you can actually walk around now, it seems your recovery is going well."

Kang Yiyang gratefully responded, "Thanks to Junior Brother Lin Bai’s Heaven Repairing Pill, otherwise, I, Kang Yiyang, would probably have to spend the rest of my life in bed."

"There’s no need for such formality, Senior Brother Kang. It was for my sake that you were crippled by Su Cang, but don’t worry, I will kill Su Cang," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

"Then, Junior Brother Lin Bai, you’d better hurry up, otherwise by the time I grow stronger, you might not be able to take Su Cang’s life," Kang Yiyang said with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Bai gave a helpless smile, "Senior Brother Kang, are you also participating in this year’s Spiritual Child Battle?"

Kang Yiyang gave a bitter smile, "I’ve just repaired my Dantian, and my cultivation is still recovering. I’m not qualified to participate in the Spiritual Child Battle. I’m just here to watch the excitement."

"I heard from Shiyun that you’re participating in the Spiritual Child Battle this year?"

Lin Bai nodded and replied with a smile, "I want to give it a try and see if I can become a Spiritual Child!"

Kang Yiyang cautioned, "Then you need to be careful. Every year, the Spiritual Child Battle is a fierce life-and-death struggle. Although killing is prohibited, many participants still end up lying in bed for months."

Lin Bai nodded and replied.

"It’s a pity there’s no leaderboard on the Five Peaks. Who knows how many strong ones are in the Earth Elixir Realm now?" Lin Bai said with a laugh.

"Don’t know," Kang Yiyang laughed. "The Five Peaks are full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. How could a simple list encompass all the warriors who are ready to burst forth!"

"Every year’s Spiritual Child Battle sees a myriad of dark horses emerge."

"And a few times, dark horses have become Spiritual Children!"

Kang Yiyang stated.

"Although there’s no list, I do know a few with incredibly strong abilities who are the most hopeful to vie for this year’s Spiritual Child title," Kang Yiyang added.

"Tell me more, Senior Brother Kang," Lin Bai inquired curiously.

Kang Yiyang listed, "One is Di Xia, one is Shiyezhou, one is Xu Jiangsheng, and one is Tong Ji!"

"Among this year’s candidates for Spiritual Child, these four have the highest reputation!"

Kang Yiyang explained indifferently.

"Di Xia, Shiyezhou, Tong Ji!" Lin Bai quietly recited these names, then added, "Xu Jiangsheng!"

Lin Bai had never imagined that Xu Jiangsheng would also be on the Five Peaks!

Xu Jiangsheng, the son of the Prime Minister of Shenwu Kingdom, possessed the Demonic Martial Soul Essence of Fire, and was the former Crown Prince of Lihuo Kingdom.

This person had been killed by Lin Bai twice.

Once was during the struggle for the Great Five Elements Skill, where Lin Bai had slain him!

Once was at Shenwu Kingdom’s Year-end Tail Sacrifice, where Lin Bai had slain him!

Unfortunately, Xu Jiangsheng, endowed with the Demonic Martial Soul, had the power of rebirth from fire. Even though Lin Bai had killed him twice, he was still alive.

"Essence of Fire!"

"I really like this Martial Soul!"

Lin Bai licked his lips, his face showing a trace of a bloodthirsty smile.

At that moment,

Suddenly, above Cloud Sky, there was a surge, and a shadow from the Nine Heavens stepped down, gradually landing on the Martial God Platform!

"Treading the air! A Flying Sky Realm Strong One!"

"It seems this is one of the three Supremes from the Miracle Ridge, a super-strong one from the Flying Sky Realm, Ye Wuhuan!" Lin Bai observed the man clad in a golden robe adorned with python dragons on the Martial God Platform and said indifferently.
