Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Hu Yizhi's idea was to form an alliance with Chen Yunhao to jointly compete for a spot.

Because they were the only two cultivators to have entered the Han Hai Prefecture in the last few hundred years, they still had some distance from other cultivators.

So when Hu Yizhi first met Chen Yunhao, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and that was his purpose.

Before arriving at the Sky Dome Sect, Hu Yizhi wanted to finalize the matter.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, I have just advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage, I'm afraid my strength is insufficient!"

Chen Yunhao wasn't refusing; in fact, he was the weakest.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, our strengths are about the same. I've already inquired about it. We're not going to fight against late-stage Tribulation Transcending experts. It's basically soldier against soldier, general against general. Don't worry."

"That's fine then. Brother Hu's cultivation is higher than mine, so he will naturally ascend to the Immortal Realm first. I can help you secure a spot first!"

Chen Yunhao smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen. May I ask if Fellow Daoist Chen has any conditions?"

Hu Yizhi understood the meaning behind Chen Yunhao's words, hence his surprised expression.

That means Chen Yunhao helped him secure a spot, rather than sharing a spot.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, having reached this level, all I seek is to ascend to the Immortal Realm. As for cultivation, it's nothing more than accumulating over time. Right now, I really don't have anything I need. Why don't you name a price, Fellow Daoist Hu?"

Chen Yunhao then passed the difficult problem on to Hu Yizhi.

What he said wasn't wrong; he really didn't lack anything, at least not right now.

It shouldn't be difficult for him to break through the Tribulation Transcending stage and enter the Earth Immortal realm in the future.

Simply develop and strengthen the immortal energy within your body, replace all your bones with immortal bones, and replace all your spiritual power with immortal power; becoming an immortal will be a natural outcome.

This is Chen Yunhao's confidence and strength. He doesn't even care about the Ascension Platform. It's hard for any treasure in this world to move his heart, unless it's something from the celestial realm.

"this……!"

Hu Yizhi pondered for a moment. This matter was indeed difficult for him. He had prepared a few spiritual items in advance, but he was too embarrassed to take them out now, fearing that they would not meet Chen Yunhao's approval.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I doubt you'd be interested in ordinary spiritual items. How about this: if you help me obtain a spot for ascension, I'll grant you one request and also give you two top-grade spiritual treasures. What do you say?"

"make a deal……!"

Chen Yunhao wasn't interested in the two top-grade spiritual treasures, even though he lacked such treasures.

Top-grade spiritual treasures are extremely rare and cannot be bought even with money. They are even more precious than ordinary spiritual objects of heaven and earth. The fact that Hu Yizhi was able to give away two of them shows that he was being very generous.

What Chen Yunhao valued more was a promise: he was certain he would ascend ahead of schedule. Perhaps he would have already flown away before that old monster Yan Qingyang even ascended.

Therefore, obtaining a promise from Hu Yizhi might be of some use to the Taiyi Sect in the future.

The matter was settled in the midst of their conversation and laughter.

After that, Hu Yizhi never contacted Chen Yunhao again.

Four months later, the group arrived at Tianqiong Sect, which was quite fast.

Chen Yunhao remembered that when he first left, it took him two years.

This gathering of cultivators from the four continents who have undergone tribulation at the Heavenly Vault Sect is a major event and a grand occasion for the sect.

However, most cultivators outside the area were completely unaware that this event had occurred.

This is the result of all the cultivators undergoing tribulation deliberately concealing it. There are some things that cannot be known to the world, otherwise, a lot of trouble will arise.

Therefore, the Tianqiong Sect has been in a closed state for the past half month, strictly prohibiting all disciples from entering or leaving and blocking all news.

The venue for this grand event was a secret realm within the Tianqiong Sect.

Chen Yunhao has seen many secret realms in his life, some belonging to sects and others from his adventures.

However, the secret realm of the Heavenly Pride Sect is indeed extraordinary. Firstly, it is vast, spanning two to three thousand miles in circumference, making it the largest of all sect secret realms.

The second is stability, just like a real world, very stable and not easily collapsed.

Even if the cultivators undergoing tribulation were to fight amongst themselves, it wouldn't cause the secret realm to collapse.

This is enough to show that this secret realm was not created by an ordinary person; it must have been created by the methods of an immortal.

As the number one sect in the world, its foundation is extremely profound. In this respect, no other sect can compare.

This was Chen Yunhao's first time participating, but fortunately Hu Yizhi had participated two or three times before and was familiar with all the procedures, so he gave Chen Yunhao a thorough explanation.

According to past practice, the Sky Dome Sect does not compete for quotas.

The Ascension Platform belongs to them; they can use it whenever they want, and it's not going to break.

Giving up the slots to others would be extremely beneficial to the Tianqiong Sect, as it would demonstrate their strength.

The process for this competition for spots was as follows: cultivators from the four continents drew lots to determine who would face off in pairs, with the winners then deciding the final outcome.

The number of Ascension Platform slots is determined by ranking, and it is said that the state ranked first can get up to six or seven slots.

Of course, there can only be one or two at the bottom, it all depends on the strength of each party.

Last time, Hanhai Prefecture was at the bottom, and judging from the current situation, it will be no exception.

After all, with more people, there are more choices, and the overall strength must be stronger.

Even if a series of attacks are used, the side with more people is guaranteed to win.

There are only twenty spots available across the entire Spirit Realm, and these spots are not fixed.

If a spot is not used within a century, it becomes invalid, and the competition for it will resume after a century to ensure fairness.

As for the draw, that's naturally the leader's job. Chen Yunhao doesn't need to worry about it much; he just needs to identify his opponent and defeat him.

It wasn't until the next day that Chen Yunhao learned they were going to fight against Yanyang Prefecture.

This is not good news, because if Tianqiong Prefecture is ranked first, then Yanyang Prefecture is ranked second.

The strength of a region depends mainly on its resource production. A region rich in resources can naturally support more cultivators.

Jingge Prefecture ranks third, and Hanhai Prefecture ranks fourth. They've been fourth for a long time and have never been able to turn things around.

Just like people, some are born with weak constitutions and will always be somewhat lacking in health later in life, and this gap is very difficult to bridge.

Unfortunately, the Han Hai Zong Zhou was unlucky, but it was still better than encountering the Tian Qiong Zhou.

"Fellow Daoists, this is going to be a fierce battle. I hope you will not hold back and do your best to secure one or two more spots for our Hanhai Prefecture, so that our long journey will not have been in vain!"

Before setting off, the female cultivator surnamed Zhao summoned everyone again, as they were about to enter the secret realm.

This competition cannot be held in the outside world; the power of a cultivator undergoing tribulation is enough to shatter the heavens.
