The reason they were secretly watching rather than sitting on the stone chairs was because they were afraid to reveal themselves.

The presence of the sect elder alongside the other seniors of the Supreme Hall at such a minor event as the sect’s Big Competition was somewhat exaggerated.

Even when vying for the True Inheritance’s disciple spots, one had never been given such treatment.

That’s why they couldn’t show themselves directly, they could only observe secretly from here.

They were not interested in the battles among the newly entered disciples. What intrigued them more were the talents who stood out on the Ascending Immortal Platform.

Because among these people, those destined to face the calamities were likely to emerge.

Having observed for as long as half a year, they kept narrowing the scope, each found several candidates from each main mountain peak, and began training them separately.

‘This Han Ye has won nine rounds consecutively, it’s quite proper, slightly impressive, but he’s still far off from Hua Yuchan of the Ten Thousand Beasts Peak. After all, she has cultivated the Beast Taming Divine Technique to the fourth level, capable of simultaneously controlling four spiritual beasts, one of which has the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

One of the chief elders commented this way.

A purple-robed elder laughed and said, “There’s no need for Hua Yuchan to make a move, Liu Lingqi from Ziwei Peak, he probably couldn’t handle either, the might of the Purple Phoenix Startled Swan Sword Qi is still too strong.” An elder with white hair and an eight diagrams crown snorted, “You old fogeys every year you underestimate my Yangshen Peak, claiming that Alchemists can’t fight, when tomorrow my senior disciple goes into battle against Han Ye, you’ll know the power of the Blazing Flame!”

“Your disciple has mastered the Blazing Flame?”

“Using the Blazing Flame as the flame for alchemy can refine elixirs of higher quality, it seems you’ve accepted a good disciple this year!”

Sect head Yun Xuzi smiled lightly: “The disciples recruited this year are more numerous and more stern than in previous years. The quality of the disciples is naturally higher than in previous years. Each is showing their Divine Power. Yangshen Peak, Nine Palaces Peak, Skyswallow Peak, Ten Thousand Beasts Peak, and Ziwei Peak all have strong disciples rising from them. Compared with them, Han Ye of the Pure Yang Peak is not that impressive.”

Seeing all the elders using Han Ye as a yardstick, the elder who had been silent all along from the Heavenly Mystery Peak, Jiang Taixu, opened his mouth: “You are all underestimating Han Ye.”

“Oh? Elder Jiang, why would you think that?”

Jiang Taixu stared at Han Ye, who was conversing with Pei Liekong below and said in a serious tone, “I noticed that the thriving aura on Han Ye’s face is a point stronger than it was half a year ago, which is very strange.”

A middle-aged elder spoke up, “People each have their own destiny, it’s normal that one’s luck increases. But not matter how much Han Ye’s luck increases, could it ever reach the level of Chu Xianyu’s?”

Jiang Taixu shook his head, “That indeed hasn’t happened, Chu Xianyu has the most thriving aura I’ve ever seen.”

“Yes, Chu Xianyu was promoted to an Inner Sect disciple in just half a year, such a thing has rarely happened in the past few decades.”

Yun Xuzi, aware that Jiang Taixu was paying close attention to Han Ye, casually asked, “Elder Jiang, do you think Han Ye is the person destined for tribulation?” Jiang Taixu denied it: “Not entirely, I just think he’s a bit special. Although his talent doesn’t show, like an average disciple, he is always unexpectedly successful, from climbing Mt. Wendao, to the Big Competition in the sect, it’s always like this.”

“The person destined for tribulation does not necessarily have the highest talent, but they are certainly the most special. Otherwise, they could not endure the great calamity. Disciples like him, Chu Xianyu includes.”

The crowd pondered upon hearing these words.

Some elders noticed that Elder Yu had not spoken, and curiously asked, “Yu Linglong, don’t you usually despise the disciples of the Pure Yang Peak? Elder Gai is away from the sect this time, aren’t there some remarks you’d like to volley?”

A lady with a scepter among the crowd caught everyone’s attention, her red lips quietly parted, “I think this Han Ye is not that annoying, so I didn’t speak.” Hearing this, all the elders looked at each other.

They felt as if the sun had risen from the west.

Meanwhile, Han Ye arrived at the edge of a cliff where Pei Liekong was back facing him, looking at the distant mountains.

“Elder brother, did you want to see me?”

Han Ye respectfully greeted him.

Pei Liekong held his hands behind his back, coldly saying, “I originally thought that the Pure Yang Peak had no impressive disciples this year, but your performance is somewhat bright.”

Han Ye heard the other’s praise and just wanted to be humble for a moment, but was quickly interrupted.

“But compared to those truly top Outer Sect disciples, you’re still far off. So, there are some things that I need to inform you ahead.”

Pei Liekong immediately threw a bucket of cold water on him.

“Please tell me.”

Han Ye had heard from his junior sister that this Pei Liekong was difficult to get along with, and as it turns out, indeed he was.

From beginning to end held a superior attitude, not giving him any face at all. Pei Liekong indifferently said, “Tomorrow you will not only face disciples of a higher realm but also encounter those top Outer Sect disciples from the main mountain peaks.”

“Why?”

Han Ye was very confused. Based on his current number of victories, hadn’t he reached the final circle yet?

“It’s arranged by the elders, no need to ask more.”

Pei Liekong only gave this explanation.

Only then did Han Ye realize that the Big Competition didn’t seem quite that simple. Were the elders manipulating things behind the scenes?

“Anyway, I also came from Pure Yang Peak, and I don’t want to see our Pure

Yang Peak lose. So, remember what I am about to say.”

“The first Outer Sect disciple of the Yangshen Peak practices the Ancient Pill Scripture, has mastered the Blazing Flame. A touch of it and you’ll be out. He specializes in long-range attacks, so wait for the right opportunity to get close and snatch his Pill Furnace..”
