Chapter 434 (2/2)

Another day passed.

Most had stayed within their caverns, at most walking around the Bloodshed region. Very soon, Jing Qiu and the other Deities of the Xia Clan discovered that Xue Ying had returned.

With the ranking battle having ended, the participants were all returning to their caverns.

“Brother Dong Bo’s combat power is truly high. There should be no issue in getting through the ranking battle, and I trust you will make it all the way to the Bloodshed God Palace.”

“Haha, you overpraise me. Even if you two fellow brothers were to fail, it should still be pretty easy to join the Bloodshed God Palace and gain an entry rank … In any case, the ranking results have yet to come out, so it’s too early to tell anything.”

Xue Ying was walking alongside two other Deities, chatting on their way back. Soon, they separated and each flew toward their respective cavern, Xue Ying himself included.

“Xue Ying.”

“Dong Bo.”

Jing Qiu and the others all welcomed him by the entrance.

“How was it?” Jing Qiu asked. “How did the ranking battle of the Myriad Flower Feast go?”

“It was quite alright.” Xue Ying nodded. “I’m quite certain I am in the top thousand for this battle.”

Xue Ying would be humble in front of any random passersby, but he did not really care about putting any appearances in front of his loved ones and friends.

“Details regarding the rankings come out in three days.” Yun Hai nodded from the side. “Ai, the battle is already over, and the results should logically have come out. They could easily announce the ranking results right now, yet they’re stubborn enough to wait for three more days.”

Xue Ying laughed. “For the most part, it’s so they can turn time back to be sure that nobody went against the rules. Other than that, they want to investigate those who have potential… so as to make arrangements for the upcoming arena battle. From what I’ve heard, information about those with great potential is being sent back to the Bloodshed God Palace as we speak, and their background is also going to be checked in detail!”

“They’re sending back reports on the participants with high potential to the Bloodshed God Palace? And they will even be investigating their past experiences?” Everyone was shocked at this new information.

Xue Ying laughed. He found about about this matter from the treasure spirit, Crimson Rock.

“Indeed.” Xue Ying nodded. “For instance, there are a few who have yet to cultivate any World Deity ranked secret techniques but have a truly high comprehension ability, so they will suffer more. The arrangements for the arena battle must be done properly, so it’s only natural that they would want to know more about the background of the participants. The Bloodshed God Palace will collect all of that intelligence before the next battle starts.”

It was very likely that information on himself would also be reported.

That included his time in the Xia Clan…from his birth, to his entry into Crimson Rock Mountain, killing the Sorcerer God and Great Demonic God’s avatars, dealing with the avatar of the Wo Hai World Deity, and any event from after he entered the Deity world. Everything would be investigated.

Naturally, the matter of his grade one True Meaning had never been revealed to the public! The Temporal Temple could use all its strength to investigate, and they might be able to arrive at that conclusion, but even if that were to be done, it could not leak out the news! As a treasure spirit, it was bound to follow the rules absolutely.

“People with ultra-high comprehension abilities, who have yet have to cultivate any World Deity ranked secret techniques?” The Purple Thunder Emperor shook his head. “Such cases should be few and far between. After all, Transcendents with great innate talent would normally see a lot of focus placed on them! That is even more true once they become Deities and their comprehension abilities increased. As soon as they’re discovered, they would be invited over by the powerful organizations, becoming disciples under stage four World Deities or even powerful existences!”

“Mn. A large amount of participants for the Myriad Flower Feast are already disciples of powerful existences,” Xue Ying said.

Before they became World Deities, even if they were disciples of powerful existences, they would, for the most part, only reach the level of honorary disciples and at most become inner disciples. As such, their status was naturally not that high. Of course, that statement did not include grade one True Meaning Transcendents! Powerful existences would naturally treat grade one True Meaning Transcendents like precious children, grooming them to the best of their abilities.

Xue Ying occasionally accompanied Jing Qiu and the other Deities from the Xia Clan, but the majority of his time was spent cultivating. The ranking battle had provided him with a lot of inspiration, especially when it came to the Chaotic Suppression—which he had already started pondering with the purpose of perfecting it.

Three days were truly too short an amount of time for any cultivator.

Lacking any sense of the flow of time, Xue Ying soon heard his wife’s voice calling out to him. “Xue Ying, Xue Ying, come out, quickly! The ranking results are going to be announced soon!” she shouted out.
