第八百四十一章 仙选者救世

Human energy is finite. When one's focus is concentrated on a particular thing, it inevitably reduces attention to other matters.

Moreover, the genuine masterpiece albums imbued with Senior Sister Zhao’s power have been submerged in countless imitations produced by the Ten Thousand Immortals League. Therefore, the spread and influence of the Supreme Heaven Venerable's teachings were severely restricted.

This move is truly ingenious! I've learned from it," commented Qiusuo Li as he observed all of the Ten Thousand Immortals League’s operations with clarity.

However, such actions could only mitigate the harm; they couldn't completely eliminate the impact of Senior Sister Zhao.

The Ten Thousand Immortals League must have other plans up its sleeve.

As predicted by Qiusuo Li, even while most cultivators were engrossed in this deliberately created discussion storm, a small group remained unsatisfied with the imitations. They continued to pursue more exquisite albums with unwavering dedication.

But they did not know that all circulating albums had been secretly monitored by the Ten Thousand Immortals League. It was just that no action had been taken yet.

When these cultivators finally found sellers willing to sell, their transactions were swiftly snared in one fell swoop.

They were arrested for attempting to subvert the league and disrupting its order.

In front of the bustling discussion wave, this all seemed so quiet. If Qiusuo Li hadn't already paid attention to these cultivators before, he might not have noticed that they had vanished without a trace.

By confusing public opinion and conducting targeted arrests simultaneously, the Ten Thousand Immortals League managed to neutralize the impact of Senior Sister Zhao's initial probe after three months.

"While it may seem like the Ten Thousand Immortals League won this skirmish, in reality, they lost."

Qiusuo Li shook his head. "For the Five Elders Association, what did they lose for this chaos? Just some mass-produced albums that can be replicated. But the Ten Thousand Immortals League had to spend a lot of time and effort to quell the situation."

"This time, it was suppressed, but the Five Elders Association could easily rise again with minimal cost. The Ten Thousand Immortals League must constantly guard against this. This is the碾压 means "to crush by rolling over" or "to dominate overwhelmingly," and 性 is a noun-forming suffix meaning "nature" or "character." Therefore, 碾压性 can be translated as "dominance" or "overwhelming superiority." (overwhelming superiority) of the Supreme Heaven Venerable's power."

"The decline of the Ten Thousand Immortals League is evident..."

"But I still hope that it can bring me some surprises in the future."

...

There are no eternal hot topics in the world.

As time passed, the attention of most cultivators shifted from the released secret texts to the upcoming grand entrance examination for the league.

The high attention this exam received was due not only to its unprecedented scale but also to a recent explosive announcement by the Ten Thousand Immortals League.

To counter the Five Elders Association's looming threat, the league would select thirty-three [Selected Immortals] through this examination.

These Selected Immortals were寄托 means "entrusted" or "relying on," and 着 is a suffix indicating a state or action. So, it can be translated as "entrusted with" or "relying on." (entrusted with) the hope of resisting the Five Elders. Once selected, they would receive unlimited cultivation support from the Ten Thousand Immortals League.

Everything needed for advancement—elixirs, techniques, divine realms, and even the essence of heaven and earth—would be provided free of charge!

Regardless of their original cultivation level, all Selected Immortals were guaranteed to achieve the realm of union within ten years!

The selection criteria focused solely on individual ability. They had to demonstrate unique contributions in the upcoming conflict with the Five Elders.

Upon hearing this news, the Ten Thousand Immortals League's cultivators went into a frenzy.

Most cultivators held themselves in high regard. Even if their cultivation progress stalled temporarily, they blamed external factors like techniques and resources rather than themselves.

"If I were to achieve union, wouldn't that be better than those who rose through family connections? Wouldn't it mean I could withstand the Five Elders' attacks without retreating?"

Many cultivators had such thoughts when they heard this announcement. They rushed to sign up for the examination without hesitation.

Even Qiusuo Li was momentarily tempted by the prospect, but only in a fleeting moment.

Everything comes with a cost. The price of being artificially advanced and quickly reaching union might be too high for him to bear.

Involving his main body would be too risky.

However, even if he wanted to, it wasn't certain that he would be chosen.

With so many cultivators under the Ten Thousand Immortals League, only thirty-three were selected...

Even those who didn’t fit traditional definitions of prodigies had unique advantages. Some just needed an opportunity to rise to prominence and dominate the heavens!

Qiusuo Li was confident that some previously unknown individuals would emerge from this selection process, shocking the world.

However, he still couldn't understand why the league pinned their hopes on these Selected Immortals.

Wasn’t it a sign that the current leaders were inadequate?

Why did the Ten Thousand Immortals League make such a self-defeating move?

Without mentioning the mysterious transmitters, even the selected souls of prodigies from history remained inactive. The league couldn't be so incompetent.

"Unless these thirty-three union cultivators are merely decoys..."

"They have other purposes."

Qiusuo Li's eyes flashed with insight.

Under the watchful gaze of all, the grand entrance examination for the Ten Thousand Immortals League officially began.

The scale and specifications far exceeded previous ones. For a full month, all participating cultivators would travel to the exam venue via the various regions' Heavenly Dao mirrors.

The examination remained closed until its conclusion, isolated from the outside world.

Due to the large number of participants, the league's states became unusually quiet.

During this month, the Ten Thousand Immortals League was left empty-handed.

To prevent a Five Elders attack, the league not only deployed heavy forces at the borders but also silently launched counterattacks.

In the Realm of Spirit Trees, Li Fan, who had temporarily halted his consumption of the Five Elements Great Heavenly Realms, looked at the dazzling round ball Lin Ling handed him with a serious expression.

This item was from the Five Elders side. As partners who had successfully traded several times, the Five Elders sought help this time... This surprised Li Fan.

It was said that this shining ball caused significant trouble for the Five Elders and no one had found a way to counter it yet. So they approached the Ten Thousand Immortals League out of desperation, hoping to find relevant information here.
