First Place in the Grand Examination

The All-Peak Tournament resumed in full swing.

Encouraged by Lin Heming, the disciples on the field were all fired up, eager to temper themselves in this tournament.

The dueling arenas were exceptionally lively, with spells and divine arts flying everywhere.

Except for........................ a certain someone.

That was Ye Shu.

His matches were arguably the most boring of all. Anyone who drew him as an opponent undoubtedly surrendered on the spot.

After all, why would they fight a monster possessed by a snake?

Seriously?

There was simply no reason to try and defeat an opponent you couldn't possibly win against.

"Umm, Senior Brother Ye..."

The disciple in the finals gave a sheepish smile and cupped his fists. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going down now. Take your time eating."

With that, he leaped off the stage, actually forfeiting the match.

Leaving behind a speechless Ye Shu to stare awkwardly at the referee elder, whose face was brimming with gratification.

"Young man, I have high hopes for you."

The referee elder patted Ye Shu's shoulder with a benevolent expression.

"Your path is still long. Walk it well."

Ye Shu's mouth twitched.

"Thank you, Elder."

The elder nodded, turned to face the entire audience, and announced loudly.

"I declare the winner of this tournament to be—"

"Ye Shu!"

Thunderous applause erupted.

As the referee elder's voice faded, this unique All-Peak Tournament finally came to a close.

The disciples of the Azure Profound Sect would probably never forget this day.

What happened in a single day was far more spectacular than what some people experienced in an entire lifetime.

The reward for the victor was actually quite simple.

They could spend three months in close contact with the Azure Profound Sword in the back mountain.

Do not be fooled by this seemingly ordinary reward; it actually held profound mysteries.

Aside from its spirit-gathering effects, the Azure Profound Sword had a far more miraculous function.

Its most extraordinary effect was its ability to help one comprehend the Dao. It wasn't some vague, esoteric enlightenment, but a tangible, real sensation of the Dao right beside you.

The laws of heaven and earth would spontaneously revolve around the Azure Profound Sword.

One must know that the first time ordinary cultivators could closely comprehend the laws of heaven and earth was usually when breaking through to the Void Return realm.

When a cultivator broke through to the Void Return realm, there would be a window of opportunity.

That period was a blessing from heaven and earth, allowing the cultivator to closely comprehend its laws and touch its core. All previous confusions in cultivation would be easily resolved. It could be said that a Void Return cultivator who had not comprehended the power of laws was, at best, just a larger-scale Soul Formation cultivator with more abundant spiritual energy and a stronger physical body.

Only by touching the Dao could one truly be considered a Void Return cultivator.

Only then would there be a true qualitative difference.

Reaching this step, the gap between Soul Formation and Void Return was like an insurmountable chasm. Fighting across realms became almost impossible.

A saying had always circulated in the Profound Heaven Continent—

"Those who do not see the Dao are ultimately but ants."

But the Azure Profound Sect had the Azure Profound Sword. Therefore, even without entering the Void Return realm, one could use the sword to closely contact the laws of heaven and earth. After consuming this opportunity, it would take about thirty years to re-condense the laws of heaven and earth.

That was why the All-Peak Tournament was held once every thirty years.

And why the Azure Profound Sect recruited disciples once every thirty years.

It was all for this.

It was also to find the true master of the Azure Profound Sword. Unfortunately, despite the Azure Profound Sect's legacy of tens of thousands of years, the right person had yet to appear.

As for why no one came to snatch such a powerful artifact.

Just look at the Demonic Path in the distance, children.

After a few simple days of preparation and post-tournament settlements, the day to head to the back mountain finally arrived.
