Chapter 269 Bribery
Chen Feng cast a few glances around and pondered for a moment, then his eyes brimmed with confidence once more. If someone named Ye Fan could pass the selection, why couldn't he? It seemed his opportunity lay here...
Despite the incongruity with the envoy from the Demon Realm, there was no need to force it; he would let things unfold naturally.
Before long, Chen Feng entered the column of light once again. This time, he deliberately removed the mysterious ring left by his parents and hid it, to avoid any issues during the ritual's detection.
Chen Feng believed in his own abilities. Whether in innate talent, bloodline, or the enlightenment of his soul and character...
He had come this far through hardships; there was no way he could be lacking! Within the column of light, Chen Feng felt waves of pressure, and beads of sweat forming on his forehead. But he didn't give up.
The opportunity was right before his eyes, and he was determined to seize it through his own efforts! As the pressure mounted, Chen Feng gritted his teeth and persisted. Let the pressure come fiercer!
"What's going on?"
Before the array, Niu Laosan watched Chen Feng's performance, a hint of puzzlement flashing in his eyes. The difficulty of the test he set shouldn't be high; why did this guy show such an expression?
The next moment, everything became clear to him. This guy's talent was simply too poor! Not just slightly poor, but lacking in every aspect.
No wonder he performed like this. Finally, Chen Feng emerged from the column of light. He was drenched in sweat, panting heavily, but he lifted his head firmly, looking confidently at the envoy from the Demon Realm.
"Great Envoy of the Boundary, have I... passed the selection?"
Niu Laosan sighed, shaking his head slowly. He knew the truth was harsh, but he had to tell this guy. With such poor talent, reaching the King Stage was truly not easy.
But ultimately, he wouldn't go far! Effort could only determine a person's lower limit; talent determined their upper limit.
"You've worked hard, but unfortunately, you haven't passed the selection. Your every talent... is not quite high. The survival competition in the Demon Realm is too brutal, and it's not suitable for you."
"Staying in the Earthly Realm and being an ordinary cultivator is also good."
Niu Laosan comforted him, patting Chen Feng's shoulder like he felt quite satisfied with his high emotional intelligence assessment. This guy must feel much better now, right?
On the other side, "Every talent is inadequate? Being an ordinary cultivator is also good?"
...
These two sentences kept echoing in Chen Feng's mind, leaving him stupefied in place, beginning to doubt life itself.
Watching the smiling faces of those who passed the selection, Chen Feng's heart ached faintly. He felt that the gazes around him were filled with mocking implications!
Dammit...
Chen Feng was rejected once again, yet nobody paid attention to him. With so many people being selected for Tianqiong Mountain, he wasn't the only one rejected; only those who passed would garner attention.
Many forces almost immediately approached to flatter those who passed the selection, even leaving a good impression could be beneficial.
In case they flourished in the Upper Realm in the future and became envoys, they could also lend a hand when they descended to the Lower Realm.
Of course, this was wishful thinking. But the grand Dao itself was wishful; nobody wanted to give up just like that. Time hurried on.
The selection of this day was about to end. The envoys of the three realms were preparing to leave. They were quite satisfied with today's election results!
Even though the number was not large, the harvest of this day surpassed their selections in other dynasties by several times!
Most of the people who passed the selection were from the Jing Nation dynasty. Their number was several times more than the total number of ascending individuals from other human dynasties combined!
Although it was expected, they couldn't help but sigh; the prosperity of the Jing Nation was truly remarkable.
Perhaps... only such a dynasty could retain that senior figure. Or perhaps. It was because of the existence of that senior figure that this dynasty prospered so greatly.
As the envoys of the three realms were about to depart, an extraordinary old man flew in once again, accompanied by a girl holding a red umbrella. They presented a treasure to the Underworld envoy.
"Underworld Lord, please stay!"
"This item... is the treasure of our Thousand Souls Town, the Underworld Soul Pearl!"
"Please, Underworld Lord, grant my disciple a chance to ascend to the Underworld!"
The voice was thunderous and unapologetic.
The shocked gazes of the crowd immediately turned towards them!
Underworld Soul Pearl!
The Elder of Thousand Souls Town was willing to offer this item to Luan Xiaoyao!
It was a treasure comparable to the Northern Ming's Profound Heaven Treasure, representing the heritage of Thousand Souls Town!
The Holy Son of the Underworld saw this scene and instantly felt envious.
Even though he was the Holy Son of the Underworld, the sect couldn't possibly give away its treasured items for him.
Or rather, no matter which sect, it wouldn't sacrifice its treasured items for a disciple.

A sect's treasured item suppressed the destiny of a sect.
Without the sect's treasured item, no matter how powerful the sect was, it would eventually decline.
For the Elder of Thousand Souls Town to go this far, he valued Luan Xiaoyao more than the sect itself.
But if successful, the benefits of Luan Xiaoyao's ascension to the Upper Realm for the sect were self-evident.
At this moment, not just the Holy Son of the Underworld, but all those who failed the selection in the field looked at Luan Xiaoyao with envy and jealousy.
"Oh?!"
"I didn't expect the Underworld Soul Pearl of this realm to be in your hands!"
The Underworld envoy saw the Underworld Soul Pearl, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
However, he concealed this surprise very well.
The Underworld Soul Pearl was extremely pure and yin, and only one would be born in a Earthly Realm. The quality of the Underworld Soul Pearl born in different Earthly Realms also varied.
The one before him clearly belonged to a higher quality.
As long as he returned to the Underworld and refined it a bit, it was not impossible to refine it into a Profound Heaven Treasure.
"With this item, the issue of her contaminated soul can be resolved."
"In that case, I'll reluctantly consider her to have passed the selection."@@novelbin@@
The Underworld envoy reached out, and the Underworld Soul Pearl fell into his hands.
Feeling the extremely pure and yin aura within, he was even more pleasantly surprised. The quality of this Underworld Soul Pearl was better than he had expected.
The Underworld envoy was overjoyed, but there was no change on his face. He reached out and placed a mark on Luan Xiaoyao's body.
"Alright."
"On the day of ascension, come here and wait."
On the side, the envoy from the Demon Realm saw the Underworld Soul Pearl being obtained stealthily and couldn't help but feel envious.
If he didn't have any use for the Underworld Soul Pearl, he also wanted to take Luan Xiaoyao.
After all, Luan Xiaoyao's aptitude did qualify her for the ascension selection.
In a corner.
To think such a move existed... Chen Feng widened his eyes, looking at this scene, and suddenly had a bold idea!
He lowered his head and took out the mysterious ring.
This was the most precious item his parents left him.
Thanks to this mysterious ring, he was able to overcome many dangers.
So, this ring held great significance to him.
"Mom, Dad, it turns out that my great opportunity was left by you!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely seize this great opportunity..."
Chen Feng rubbed the ancient ring vigorously, made up his mind, and walked towards the envoys of the three realms.
Some people saw him and were puzzled.
Could this guy also want to present a treasure? Did he think the envoys of the three realms accept everything and would make an exception for him to pass the ascension selection?
He was too unaware of his own limitations!
Many people shook their heads secretly.
It was normal not to pass the ascension selection.
To offend the envoys of the three realms because of this would be truly seeking death.
"Please stay, three esteemed envoys. I also have a treasure to offer. I hope the esteemed envoys can grant me the qualification to ascend!"
Chen Feng tightly held the mysterious ring in his hand.
The steps of the three envoys stopped, and they looked at him with indifferent eyes.
What do you think?
