The debate conference officially concluded with Xu Chuan claiming the top spot.
Following this, Xu Chuan would lead the other four to participate in the Grand Competition of the Five Regions.
After this battle, Xu Chuan's strength was thoroughly disseminated throughout the entire Eastern Region, impressing everyone!
No one in the Eastern Region still doubted whether Xu Chuan's cultivation at the second level of Nirvana Realm was worthy of being the Ninth Quasi-Saint Son of Taiyi Sacred Land.
Because.
During this debate conference.
Xu Chuan, with his own power.
Killed Wang Lin, the Heavenly Prodigy of the Ancient Clan, and Xiao Chen, the First Holy Son of Tianyan Sect, both of whom were top-tier prodigies at the third level of Reincarnation Realm or above.
Later, in the battle for first place, he single-handedly fought four Heavenly Prodigies and, with a heaven-shattering sword, suppressed them.
This damaged the Martial Heart of the Heavenly Prodigies present, casting a shadow over their martial path.
Finally, he made a bold declaration that awed all the cultivators present.
That declaration was filled with overwhelming dominance.
Xu Chuan had truly achieved the feat of suppressing an entire generation!
"Peerless grace, supreme heavenly prodigy!"
"Is a supreme emperor destined to rise from our Eastern Region?"
"At first, I didn't understand the meaning of Xu Chuan's name; now, hearing it fills me with awe!"
"In this era of great contention, he has forged ahead!"
"To witness such a figure, this life is not in vain!"
Across the Eastern Region, countless people were discussing the name Xu Chuan.
This name was no longer spread through the immense influence of Taiyi Sacred Land, but by Xu Chuan's own strength, it was sung by countless individuals!
While the entire Eastern Region was abuzz with Xu Chuan's achievements.
Xu Chuan was already aboard the Myriad Manifestation Palace, on his way back to the Sacred Land.
As soon as the conference ended, they departed from the Yellow Sand Sacred Land.
This trip, while it completely boosted Xu Chuan's fame.
It also offended many people and many forces.
One or two, Xu Chuan and his entourage could handle, but if all hostile forces united to try and extinguish such a peerless prodigy as Xu Chuan, it would likely lead to trouble.
Therefore, as soon as it concluded, under Situ Lin's leadership, they left.
Inside the Myriad Manifestation Palace.
Xu Chuan sat cross-legged in the cultivation chamber.
Although this battle was a complete victory, it had also consumed considerable energy.
He had only just recovered to his peak condition.
However, at this moment.
A line of system prompts appeared before his eyes.
[You have successfully obtained first place in the debate conference, gaining fame throughout the Eastern Region with your own strength, and have earned one Intermediate Fate Draw eligibility. Do you wish to draw immediately?]
Xu Chuan was stunned.
He had absolutely not expected.
That obtaining first place in the debate conference would yield such a reward.
He then rejoiced.
Fate Draw eligibility!
Even if it was just intermediate, it was an extraordinary reward!
"This is quite an unexpected pleasant surprise."
"Then, let's draw!"
Xu Chuan chuckled and immediately spun the lottery wheel.
[Fate is being drawn, please wait!]
The prompt message appeared.
[Draw complete!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the red fate, 'Rule Affinity'!]
[Rule Affinity: Increases affinity with rules, making enlightenment easier, allowing for earlier perception of rules, and breaking through to the Heavenly King Realm becomes easier!]
A red fate.
Not the best, but not the worst!
Xu Chuan did not disdain it. Compared to having nothing before, his fate had already increased significantly.
Moreover, Rule Affinity and earlier perception of rules, while seemingly insignificant, were very important.
It was like his master, Situ Lin, had been at the peak of the Tongtian Realm for many years but had been unable to break through to the Heavenly King Realm.
This was precisely because his comprehension of rules was not deep enough.
Only when his comprehension of the Dao of the Sword rules deepened enough would he have the chance to become a Heavenly King Realm expert in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately.
The successive Peak Lords of True Yang Peak had all stopped at this realm.
Unable to advance further in their lifetime, this also meant that Situ Lin had no prior experience to draw upon.
[New fate has been equipped, please check!]
The new prompt message appeared.
The fate had completely merged with Xu Chuan.
An indescribable feeling surfaced in Xu Chuan's heart.
For a moment, Xu Chuan felt as if he could vaguely sense some rules related to the Dao of the Sword.
As if they were right before his eyes.
Unlike before, where they were unseen and untouchable.
"Quite good!"
Xu Chuan nodded with satisfaction.
Every bit counts, no matter how small.
He then checked his own information.
[Name: Xu Chuan]
[Realm: Nirvana Realm Second Level]
[Talent: Unrivaled Under Heaven]
[Fate: Defy Fate to Change Destiny (Gold), Martial Dao Reaches Divinity (Gold), One-Punch Man (Purple), Man and Sword as One (Purple), Sword Soul Seed (Red), Peerless and Unworldly (Red), Rule Affinity (Red)]
[Divine Abilities: Golden Crow Transfiguration Technique, Solar True Fire, Hundredfold Amplification, Insight into All Things]
[Life Script: You have defied fate to change your destiny, and your future is hard to discern.]
[Life Trajectory: You have defied fate to change your destiny, your past and future cannot be investigated!]
[Destiny: You have defied fate to change your destiny, your past and future cannot be investigated!]
...
"Having won first place in the debate conference this time, there is nothing pressing for a while."
"I coincidentally obtained an opportunity from Xiao Chen earlier, and this time, I can head to the Heavenly Abyss to take a look."
"The Heavenly Abyss is not too far from the Imperial Capital of Great Wei. After obtaining the opportunity, I can then head to the Imperial Capital of Great Wei to see Ning Youci!"
Xu Chuan pondered in his mind.
It would take about half a month to travel from here to the Heavenly Abyss.
This would be just in time for the appearance of the Emperor Lord's origin.
"Thus, it is decided!"
Having made up his mind, Xu Chuan went to Situ Lin's room.
"Master, your disciple seeks an audience!"
After entering Situ Lin's room, Xu Chuan first bowed respectfully and then spoke frankly.
This, however, surprised Situ Lin.
"What is it, speak freely!"
Situ Lin said with a smile.
This trip had given Xu Chuan a great surprise.
He felt even more proud of his decision to take Xu Chuan as his disciple.
"Your disciple wishes to venture out alone for some experience, and hopes Master will consent!"
Xu Chuan did not mention his plan to go to the Heavenly Abyss to seek the Emperor Lord's origin.
No one would believe it.
And it might even expose his system.
Therefore, such a thing absolutely could not be done.
Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Situ Lin showed a thoughtful expression.
They were already a million miles away from the desolate lands, and even if someone wanted to deal with them, they couldn't catch up.
Furthermore, with Xu Chuan's current strength, simple seclusion would not improve him much.
Moreover, his strength in the Eastern Region meant he would rarely encounter danger.
And Xu Chuan also possessed life-saving means given by him.
After some thought.
Situ Lin agreed to Xu Chuan's request.
"Since you have your own plans, I will not stop you."
"However, safety is paramount when venturing out alone!"
"Go!"
"Remember to return on time for the Grand Competition of the Five Regions a year from now!"
Situ Lin instructed.
"Thank you, Master. Your teachings, this disciple will remember them well!"
Xu Chuan said respectfully.
He then bowed and exited the room.
Finding an opportunity, Xu Chuan flew off the warship.
Watching the warship slowly depart, Xu Chuan no longer hesitated and turned towards the direction of the Heavenly Abyss.
