Chapter 276: Chapter 276 Soaring Dragon Invitation

Hong Yanbing’s expression was extremely ugly. He intended to speak up in defense of himself, but suddenly he noticed that Yang Yuemin’s aura had also grown stronger by several measures.

"Junior Sister, have you had some insights too?"

Xu Ma’an and the others had also noticed the change in Yang Yuemin’s aura and asked with immense joy.

If Yang Yuemin’s cultivation were to breakthrough, it would be a tremendous boost to the strength of Jade Cauldron Sect.

Seeing this, Hong Yanbing held his tongue. Their visit was originally to congratulate Jade Bird Peak, and if the matter of the ancient inheritance worsened relations too much, it wouldn’t be good; they would have to find another way.

"Alright, Junior Sister, Old Hong has always been like this; don’t take it to heart. Come and see the congratulatory gifts we have brought for our nephews."

Because Hong Yanbing had been overly anxious just now, nearly angering Yang Yuemin, everyone hurriedly took out the treasures they had brought, smiling and chatting with Yang Yuemin.

"Disciples, since your uncles have brought such good intentions, you must not refuse. Take a look at the gifts they have brought."

Upon hearing that people had brought gifts, Yang Yuemin’s mood improved considerably, quenching her anger.

Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu, upon hearing Yang Yuemin’s words, approached Xu Ma’an and the other Peak Masters, first paying their respects and then began inspecting the gifts that had been brought.

Seeing the much-improved aura of Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing, envy and admiration filled Hong Yanbing’s heart.

The auras of Lin Chen and the others were much stronger than when he had seen them not too long ago, clearly the result of practicing other powerful cultivation techniques, definitely surpassing those of Jade Cauldron Sect’s.

Without much thought, Hong Yanbing and others knew it was because of the inheritance technique Lin Chen had brought out from the ancient ruins.

This made them even more determined to do whatever it takes to get Lin Chen to hand over that ancient inheritance technique.

At this moment, Lin Chen and the others each received the gifts brought by Xu Ma’an and others to offer their congratulations.

However, just then, a streak of light suddenly flew in, landing in Xu Ma’an’s hand. Xu Ma’an looked at the message, and his expression immediately changed.

"Elder Brother, what has happened?"

Zhao Rushi and the others noticed the change in Xu Ma’an’s expression and immediately inquired.

"The Soaring Dragon Conference has been moved up!"

Upon the inquiries from the crowd, Xu Ma’an slightly frowned and then slowly revealed.

Everyone’s expression changed upon hearing this.

The annual Soaring Dragon Conference was still three or four months away, and the Great Flame Dynasty had never changed the date before. The sudden change this year, everyone was aware of the reason.

It must be because the Black Cloud Sect had obtained the Heavenly Level Superior Cultivation Technique, and the Great Flame Dynasty must be in urgent need, thus having to call the Soaring Dragon Conference earlier to unite all Sects of the Great Flame Dynasty to find a way to deal with Black Cloud Sect.

This Soaring Dragon Conference was a means specifically created by the Great Flame Dynasty to select talents.

Whether from the Major Sects or all Loose Cultivators, anyone could sign up for the Soaring Dragon Conference, and as long as one emerged victorious, they would receive many rewards.

The Soaring Dragon Conference also has a ranking, and this ranking carries considerable prestige; those martial artists who occupy the top places are undoubtedly powerful individuals.

Beyond the major sects, when some loose cultivators make it onto the list, they immediately catch the attention of the major sects, which then seek to recruit them into their respective factions, offering many conditions to attract these exceptionally talented disciples.

Apart from that, it is also a form of competition and measure between the different sects of the Great Flame Dynasty.

Over the years, the Jade Cauldron Sect had indeed suffered many losses at the hands of other sects.

Although currently, because of the Black Cloud Sect obtaining a Heavenly Top Grade Cultivation Technique, time was pressed, it was expected that the Soaring Dragon Conference would still be held as usual.

Therefore, the Peak Masters of the Jade Cauldron Sect were all looking forward to making a statement at this Soaring Dragon Conference and regaining the glory of past years.

"Master, are we going to the Soaring Dragon Conference too?"

Lin Chen had a basic understanding of the Soaring Dragon Conference from what Xu Lianyu had told him.

Typically, the young Heavenly Prides of each sect participate in the Soaring Dragon Conference since having too weak cultivation would only bring shame to the sect. Usually, before attending the Soaring Dragon Conference, each sect will hold a competition to select the strongest disciples.

The Great Flame Dynasty has certain requirements for the participants of the Soaring Dragon Conference: they must be under one hundred years of age.

For cultivators, possessing Melding Earth Realm Cultivation can allow for a lifespan of five hundred years, and Warriors of the Heaven-reaching Realm even have a thousand-year lifespan, so being one hundred years old is not considered very old. However, apart from loose cultivators and some smaller sects, the warriors sent by the Seven Great Sects of the Great Flame Dynasty are generally under the age of fifty.

"Of course, now that your cultivations are ranked among the best within the sect, it is only natural that you should seek to win back some honor for the sect."

Yang Yuemin spoke indifferently.

The rewards for participating in the Soaring Dragon Conference were extraordinary, and the Great Flame Dynasty allotted fifty spots for each of the Seven Great Sects. Naturally, Yang Yuemin hoped that her disciples from Jade Bird Peak would receive these rewards.

"Junior Sister is right. When you few participate in the Soaring Dragon Conference this time, you must win prestige for our Jade Cauldron Sect.

We must let those people know that although our Jade Cauldron Sect has been acting with restraint over these years, it does not mean we have fallen beyond hope."

When Xu Ma’an thought of the humiliation the sect had suffered at previous Soaring Dragon Conferences at the hands of other sects, anger rose in his heart as he addressed Lin Chen and Zhao Yijing, among the other disciples.

"That all being said, are you not worried, Elder Brother? They might be wary of the Black Cloud Sect getting a Heavenly Level Superior Cultivation Technique, but haven’t our Jade Cauldron Sect also obtained the supreme inheritance from the ancient ruins?"

Yang Yuemin furrowed her brows and with that one sentence, awakened Xu Ma’an to a certain realization.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ma’an narrowed his eyes slightly, and it seemed as if he had made some decision.

"Those old schemers; this time, it might really be a set-up like a banquet trap. With that in mind, Lin Chen should not participate."

Xu Ma’an made his decision after some thought.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly; he naturally understood that Xu Ma’an and Yang Yuemin were acting in his best interest.

"Sect Leader, Master, I know you are doing this for my own good."

"But my junior sisters have also cultivated that technique, and once they engage in combat, it will inevitably be recognized by others."
