Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1016 Resource Contention
Even if the surrounding forces had set up Spirit Binding Divine Arrays around the Mortal Land, the moment Mor Wuji began to cultivate, those arrays would crack. Endless divine spiritual energy surged towards the Mortal Land, once again forming a vortex of divine spiritual energy.
The reason why the surrounding forces could previously restrict the flow of divine spiritual energy into the Mortal Land was because Mor Wuji hadn't returned to cultivate. Now that Mor Wuji had returned to cultivate, all restrictions were like fleeting clouds.
As the violent divine spiritual energy poured in from all directions, Mor Wuji felt a power within him needed to explode.
The power of the Overflowing Essence Divine Pill was fully displayed at this moment. Originally, Mor Wuji had planned to take two years to reach the eleventh level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, but now, with the surging essence power of the Overflowing Essence Divine Pill, Mor Wuji broke through the tenth level and entered the eleventh level almost effortlessly.
After more than ten days of adjustment to stabilize the eleventh level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, Mor Wuji began to attack the twelfth level.
He swallowed the first Overflowing Essence Divine Pill. The essence aura that impacted the realm bottleneck and the divine spiritual energy frantically drawn in by Mor Wuji merged together, and were frantically absorbed by him.
Mor Wuji felt his cultivation level rise rapidly. After several days, when the medicinal liquid of the pill was exhausted, he didn't feel the realm bottleneck of the twelfth level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
The second Overflowing Essence Divine Pill, the third Overflowing Essence Divine Pill…
When Mor Wuji swallowed the sixth Overflowing Essence Divine Pill, and his cultivation still hovered at the peak of the eleventh level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, he knew that this kind of Overflowing Essence Divine Pill was only useful to him once.
He wasted six pills for nothing, and only advanced from the eleventh level to the peak of the eleventh level.
Pills were indeed something that could only be used for assistance, not relied upon entirely.
Mor Wuji's mindset was very peaceful. Being able to enter the eleventh level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage in less than a month meant that buying the pill formula for the Overflowing Essence Divine Pill was still worth it. Sometimes, even a small level could save his life.
After cultivating for another ten days, Mor Wuji received a message from Bai Yue: the Nirvana Academy's resource competition had begun.
Mor Wuji immediately packed up and left his cultivation place. Chi Chuan was still cultivating frantically. Shuaiguo had also made some progress, and was about to complete the fourth level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage. Da Huang's strength, on the other hand, improved quickly, reaching the eighth level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
Da Huang had gained intelligence and meridians, but the Overflowing Essence Divine Pill was useless to him.
Mor Wuji didn't wait long before Bai Yue arrived at Mor Wuji's cultivation place. Seeing Bai Yue's energetic appearance, Mor Wuji knew that Bai Yue must have obtained the divine ability he needed.
"Wuji, I owe you a lot this time. Now, even if I can't beat that Gai Ji, he won't be able to kill me so easily." Bai Yue said confidently as soon as he saw Mor Wuji.
"You need to have some ambition. Always thinking about how others can't easily kill you won't allow you to improve. You should be thinking about how you can get rid of him." Mor Wuji patted Bai Yue and said with a smile.
Although he knew Mor Wuji was joking, Bai Yue said solemnly, "Senior Brother's teachings are correct. Bai Yue will remember them."
"Don't be so serious. Wait for me to set up a Spirit Gathering Divine Array, and then we'll go to the Nirvana Learning Platform." Mor Wuji wanted to use a top-grade divine spiritual vein to set up an internal Spirit Gathering Divine Array to provide cultivation for Chi Chuan, Da Huang, and Shuaiguo. This Spirit Gathering Divine Array only absorbed the divine spiritual veins he took out and had nothing to do with the sect's divine spiritual energy.
…
Mor Wuji had long heard of the Nirvana Learning Platform. He knew that it was one of the most beautiful places in the Nirvana Academy and also the place where major events of the Nirvana Academy gathered.
He and Bai Yue arrived at the Nirvana Learning Platform and realized how beautiful this place was.
Huge rocks hundreds of miles in circumference floated in the void, and vibrant green spiritual plants also floated around the rocks. Many inverted rivers fell from the distant rocks, and fish swam up from the inverted rivers, even creating some splashing sounds.
Corresponding to the floating rocks was a red flower at least several tens of feet in circumference.
Mor Wuji recognized the flower. In Sanskrit, it was called Manjusaka. In Chinese, it was called the flower of the other shore, also known as the Nirvana flower.
At least one or two thousand people had already gathered on the giant stone platform, and more and more Heavenly God cultivators flew down onto it.
Mor Wuji and Bai Yue had just stood still when they felt a murderous intent. He turned around and saw Gai Ji staring at him. Gai Ji's gaze was filled with naked murderous intent, without any concealment.
Mor Wuji ignored Gai Ji's murderous intent. What surprised him was the two women standing beside Gai Ji. Mor Wuji didn't find it difficult to understand that Wan Xi was standing beside Gai Ji. This woman was already at the sixth level of the Heavenly God Stage and should be qualified to participate in the resource competition.
But the other woman, Wan Ru, was this unbelievably beautiful woman also planning to participate in the resource competition? This woman was clearly only at the sixth level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage. Participating in the resource competition with this cultivation was simply courting death.
Bai Yue was standing beside Mor Wuji. He saw Mor Wuji's gaze fall on Wan Ru and said in a low voice, "Wuji, don't look at this woman. Although she has a very good and gentle personality, too many people are staring at her. As for her participating in the resource competition, I believe no one will attack her. Everyone knows that she is only participating in the resource competition to find an opportunity to advance."
Mor Wuji nodded and didn't say anything.
After another half a day, a figure suddenly appeared from the void and stood at the forefront of the giant stone.
This was a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe, with slightly dark skin and a God King bun. The powerful aura that permeated out told Mor Wuji that this was definitely a top-level God King powerhouse.
The yellow-robed man's gaze swept over the crowd, and Mor Wuji felt as if he had been doused with cold water, his whole body shivering. He guessed that the yellow-robed man must have killed countless people, otherwise, he wouldn't have this kind of sharp and terrifying aura.
"The Nirvana Academy's resource competition, which happens once every hundred years, has arrived again. Although everyone knows the rules, I will repeat them again…"
Mor Wuji thought, I don't know the rules.
The yellow-robed man said in a slow tone, "This resource competition is open to Heavenly Gods and Spirit Nurturing cultivators, and the top one thousand are eligible for rewards. The first place is eligible to set up a level six Spirit Gathering Divine Array, receive ten thousand Nirvana points, one hundred places to cultivate in the Divine Spirit Land for one year, and one hundred opportunities to enter the Academy's Divine Spirit Grass Secret Realm for one month…
The second to tenth place are eligible to set up a level five Spirit Gathering Divine Array, each receiving three thousand Nirvana points, ten places to cultivate in the Divine Spirit Land for one year, and ten opportunities to enter the Academy's Divine Spirit Grass Secret Realm for one month…
The eleventh to one hundredth place are eligible to set up a level four Spirit Gathering Divine Array, each receiving three thousand Nirvana points…"
The more Mor Wuji heard, the more shocked he became. The Nirvana Academy's resources were simply piled up like mountains. He realized that most of these resources were concentrated on the first place.
It was evident that the Nirvana Academy simply wanted to focus on highlighting one force and making it stronger.
The yellow-robed God King spoke for a full half an hour before finishing the reward rules.
After finishing the reward rules, the yellow-robed God King paused slightly before continuing, "This resource competition is divided into two stages. The first stage is to enter the Academy's Resource Secret Realm to find resource tokens."
After speaking, the yellow-robed God King took out a black token the size of a palm and said, "This is the resource token. The number of resource tokens is determined by the number of cultivators participating in the resource competition. However many people participate, there will be that many resource tokens. One token is one point. How many tokens you obtain is how many points you obtain.
Here, I want to remind the disciples participating in the resource competition that the Nirvana Academy's Resource Secret Realm is newly opened each time, and no one has ever explored it before. So, when entering the Resource Secret Realm, the competition for resources will begin. Because there are a large number of natural treasures in these Resource Secret Realms, whoever obtains them owns them, and there is no need to hand them over to the Academy. After entering the resource competition, you are responsible for your own life and death. If you are worried about danger, you can withdraw from the competition now."
No one withdrew. Having cultivated to the Heavenly God level, how many people were worried about their little lives? Those who were really worried about their lives generally wouldn't appear here. Those who could be recommended by the major forces to participate in this resource competition basically had some skills.
The yellow-robed God King obviously knew that no one would withdraw. He just pointed it out slightly and continued, "The second stage of assessment will only begin after the first stage is over. Before entering the Resource Secret Realm to compete for resource tokens, I need to tell you all that regardless of which place you represent to participate in the resource competition, the rewards you obtain belong to you personally, but the reward for setting up a Spirit Gathering Divine Array can be stacked. One hundred placements to set up a level three Spirit Gathering Divine Array together can be used to set up a level four Spirit Gathering Divine Array. Ten placements to set up a level four Spirit Gathering Divine Array together can be used to set up a level five Spirit Gathering Divine Array."
After the yellow-robed God King finished speaking, he waited for a long time. Seeing that no one still stood up to object, he waved his hand and sacrificed more than ten array flags.
A void gate suddenly appeared in the sky above the Nirvana Academy stone.
The void gate was dozens of feet in circumference, and the middle was rippling, obviously a void teleportation array.
"Alright, now all disciples participating in the resource competition enter this void teleportation gate to reach the Resource Competition Secret Realm to compete for resource tokens. The time is one year. After one year, everyone will be teleported back to this Nirvana Learning Platform." The yellow-robed God King pointed to the teleportation gate and said.
Mor Wuji didn't expect the first stage of the competition to take a year. He should have brought Shuaiguo and Da Huang with him.
"Wuji, after being teleported through this void gate, we definitely won't be together. Due to the rules of the secret realm, we can't contact each other either, so you need to be careful." Bai Yue said with some concern.
No matter how powerful Mor Wuji was, he was only at the Spirit Nurturing Stage after all.
