Chapter 336: The Grand Competition Begins

The moment this spiritual energy appeared, it immediately flowed into the paths created by the spiritual treasures.

Following those paths as if they were channels, the spiritual energy continuously circulated.

After the spiritual energy completed one full cycle through every route formed by the spiritual treasure pathways, something extraordinary happened.

Eternal Spirit Stone Peak, the Inner Six Peaks, and the Outer Six Peaks simultaneously erupted with brilliant light.

As the light spread, a strange fluctuation connected with the entire mountain protection formation.

Six layers of colored barrier light, each a different color, briefly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Then, they vanished without a trace.

It was as if they had never existed.

Aside from the newly changed positions of the mountains and the altered course of the Heavenly River, everything else appeared completely normal.

What was this?

Before everyone could recover from the shocking transformation, Fu Young flicked his finger.

The exquisite golden bell beside the Eternal Prosperity Palace gently rang.

Everyone only felt a deep and powerful bell sound echo directly inside their minds.

When the sound faded away, Fu Young’s voice resounded in the minds of every person present.n"The Eternal Prosperity Sect Grand Competition will officially begin in half an hour. All participating disciples, please make your preparations as soon as possible."

"There’s really going to be a grand competition!"

"Was that just now... moving mountains and overturning seas?"

"So Martial Uncle Fu are actually this powerful..."

While thinking this, the many disciples walked toward the teleportation formations.

Sure enough, when they arrived, they discovered that there was now an option to teleport directly to the Eternal Prosperity Palace.

The Water Qilin in the sky stared at Fu Young with his watery sparkling eyes.

Fu Young had casually stored away the enormous umbrella and descended onto the largest jade chair at the center of the Spirit Transformation competition area.

The Water Qilin spoke with admiration and respect. "As expected of Supreme Lord. He is truly amazing."

He did not realize that his tone was exactly the same as the transformed demon beasts he had gathered, who constantly praised him.

Beside him, Gou Guangming swallowed his saliva with a dry throat.

He had already imagined the protagonist’s strength as being extremely powerful.

However, the reality was far beyond anything he had expected.

This was still only a small cultivation world, yet with a simple gesture, Fu Young could move mountains and reshape the land.

If he became even stronger in the future, would he be able to change the entire world itself?

Gou Guangming looked uneasily toward Gou Guangyan beside him.

His elder brother was the strongest cultivator he had encountered since transmigrating.

Although Gou Guangyan had only recently reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, he was still far beyond anyone else Gou Guangming knew.

"Brother, when you were in the Nascent Soul Realm, could you accomplish something like this?"

"Not even now, let alone during the Nascent Soul Realm."

Gou Guangyan shook his head.

His gaze turned toward Fu Young, who was sitting on the jade chair with his eyes closed, quietly waiting for the competition to begin.

"Let’s go over there. We shouldn’t keep Senior Brother waiting."

Gou Guangming looked toward the strongest cultivator currently among the Gou Family.

Gou Tian, Gou Di, and Gou Xuan had all been personally selected and trained by the Gou Family’s First Elder to become Gou Guangyan’s personal shadow guards.

Each of them possessed extensive knowledge and experience.

"Gou Tian, what about you?"

"I cannot do it either. Even the First Elder cannot."

Gou Tian shook his head.

Nearby, several Gou Family elders had recently noticed that the Eternal Prosperity Sect had very few people.

The Sect Master and the Sect Master’s disciple rarely handled matters personally.

Because of this, Gou Guangming had almost become the acting Sect Master.

Some of the Gou Family elders had begun developing their own little schemes because of this.

However, after witnessing the overwhelming power Fu Young displayed with a simple gesture, and after hearing the words of Gou Guangyan and Gou Tian, all of them felt a chill run through their bodies.

They silently lowered their heads.

Any thoughts of acting recklessly disappeared completely.

They no longer dared to think of anything improper.

"Let’s go."

Gou Guangyan’s gaze casually swept over the few elders nearby.

A trace of relief flashed in his eyes as he spoke softly.

After saying that, he took the lead and flew toward the Spirit Transformation competition stage.

Gou Guangming and the others quickly followed.

Meanwhile, Nangong Si stroked his beard as he looked at his six disciples.

"Have you figured out the mysteries behind this formation?"

"Master, this disciple is incompetent. I can only vaguely sense that this formation is above Tier 6."

Among the master and six disciples, Cao Xue had the highest achievement in formations after Nangong Si.

He shook his head while staring at the six pointed star formation below with an eager expression.

Nangong Si looked at his other five disciples.

Seeing that all of them looked confused, he could not help shaking his head.

Among his six disciples, only Cao Xue possessed exceptional talent in formations.

The others were more skilled in the Dao of talismans.

After thinking for a moment, Nangong Si said: "Our mountain protection formation was originally a Tier 5 formation. More than twenty days ago, after the Sect Master returned, he upgraded the formation to Tier 6."

"The formation Senior Brother arranged is connected to the mountain protection formation created by the Sect Master."

Hearing this, Cao Xue’s heart moved.

He silently began deducing the possibilities.

The other five disciples also revealed thoughtful expressions.

Nangong Si patted Cao Xue’s head. "The grand competition is about to begin, so don’t rush your deductions now. Also, I’ll give you another hint."

"The current grade of the mountain protection formation has already been upgraded to the early Tier 7."

"Think carefully about it. After some time, I want to hear your conclusions."

After saying that, Nangong Si descended toward the competition stage.
