Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Upon the iron sword, a few human figures could be seen. Gradually, the iron sword descended, and everyone saw the people standing on it.

At the forefront on that iron sword stood the Sword Bone Grand Elder who led Lin Chen and the others into the sect, and those following behind him were all dressed as elders.

And on a mystical cloud beside them stood a middle-aged man in a white robe. Though described as middle-aged, his hair and beard were already completely white. Seeing the respect in the expressions of the Sword Bone elders towards him, his identity was self-evident:

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Li Changfeng!

With the arrival of Li Changfeng and the other elders, the once lively square suddenly quieted down. Even those as arrogant as Qian Jin became slightly restrained, not daring to speak. After all, standing before them, Li Changfeng was a real Divine Emperor powerhouse!

A Divine Emperor powerhouse is undoubtedly a pinnacle existence throughout the Eastern Domain. At this level, their power is unmatched; even a mere breath could cost these disciples at the Divine Scholar realm their lives.

In the eyes of everyone looking at Li Changfeng, they were filled with admiration for the strong, with not a hint of jealousy. It's human nature: if you're slightly better than someone, they might envy you, but when the gap is as vast as heaven and earth, there's only fear and awe.

Even Lin Chen, when looking at Li Changfeng, was filled with yearning and admiration. The Divine Emperor realm is synonymous with strength, and Lin Chen had the heart of a strong man.

"Divine Emperor, huh? One day, I will reach it too!"

At this moment, the Sword Bone Grand Elder glanced at the crowd before him, exchanged a look with Li Changfeng, then cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Ahem! Everyone, you don't need me to tell you what today is. The sect competition is not only to showcase your strength but also a chance to bring glory to our Heavenly Sword Pavilion! Achieving a good ranking will greatly benefit you!"

Pausing for a moment, the Sword Bone glanced at the curious crowd and continued:

"This sect competition adopts an elimination format, a one-on-one battle, and the victor can advance to the next battle. Those who make it to the top ten will receive generous rewards. Everyone in the top ten will get fifty divine crystals, a Divine Yuan Pill, and a thousand contribution values from our Heavenly Sword Pavilion. As for the top three rewards, in addition to the top ten rewards, one will receive a Scarlet Spirit Fruit! And the first place, on top of all these, will be awarded a Soul-Breaking Pill!"

"What! The rewards are so generous!? I must give it my all to climb the ranks!"

"Haha! You dare say such big words! This time, all five top-tier sects are participating; there's no room for you to shine!"

"Divine crystals, contribution values, Divine Yuan Pill, Scarlet Spirit Fruit, and they even brought out the Soul-Breaking Pill! It's too tempting!"

For a moment, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement, even imagining themselves obtaining the treasures.

It's no surprise they were so excited. Even Lin Chen felt ripples of emotion at hearing these rewards.

Divine crystals and contribution values, while precious, were still expected. However, the Divine Yuan Pill, Scarlet Spirit Fruit, and that Soul-Breaking Pill were far beyond the value of mere dozens of divine crystals!

The Divine Yuan Pill is a relatively low-grade elixir in the divine realm. Though low-grade, for everyone in the Divine Scholar realm, it is a rare treasure. If calculated, its value might be equivalent to thirty or forty divine crystals. Its effect is simple yet practical: to enhance cultivation, most suitable for martial artists in the Divine Scholar realm.

One Divine Yuan Pill can help a Divine Scholar realm martial artist enhance a certain amount of cultivation. If taken by an early Divine Scholar realm martial artist, it might enhance one level of cultivation. However, if taken by a later stage Divine Scholar martial artist, the effect is diminished, only slightly enhancing cultivation.

Nonetheless, for those in the Divine Scholar realm, the Divine Yuan Pill is absolutely a treasure. After all, taking one is equivalent to ten to fifteen days, perhaps even longer, of one's own cultivation. Of course, someone like Lin Chen, with such an abnormally fast cultivation speed, is an exception.

As for the Scarlet Spirit Fruit, it is a kind of natural treasure, somewhat similar to the Green Scale Fruit Lin Chen previously consumed, but with different effects. The Scarlet Spirit Fruit contains scorching divine yuan power, and upon consumption, one can directly enhance one level of cultivation, effective only for the Divine Scholar realm. Even for a breakthrough from the eighth to the ninth level, it can be directly used, and its fire yuan power can refine the divine yuan within, making it more pure.

The first-place reward, the Soul-Breaking Pill, is the most precious among these treasures. Although it can't increase cultivation, it has a powerful effect: helping someone at the peak of the Divine Scholar realm break through to the Divine Spirit realm in one go!

Breaking through a major realm is far more difficult than breaking a minor one. Many have been stuck at the peak of the Divine Scholar realm for decades without a breakthrough. Upon reaching the Divine Spirit realm, both combat power and lifespan significantly increase, and the strength difference between the two realms is vast.

Moreover, all major sects have an unwritten rule: only those who reach the Divine Spirit realm can become true disciples of the sect.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion adheres to this rule; otherwise, with Lin Chen's talent, he would have already entered the inner pavilion.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion is divided into the outer gate and inner pavilion. The inner pavilion is the true core of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, while the outer gate members are merely reserve disciples for the pavilion. Without reaching the Divine Spirit realm, one can never receive the true teachings of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

Other sects have similar rules. Generally, upon reaching the Divine Spirit realm, one starts to receive focused cultivation. Hence, the Soul-Breaking Pill, which can help one break through the realm and reach the Divine Spirit realm in one step, is extremely precious.

Among the outer-door disciples of all first-tier sects, including the top five of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's outer door, the elite among them have reached the late or even peak stage of the Divine Scholar realm. The Soul-Breaking Pill is the most treasured item for them — not just an elixir to enhance strength, but a chance to ascend to the next level.

Lin Chen was already aware of this information. Turning his head, indeed, everyone's eyes were blazing as they looked on eagerly, as if those generous rewards were already within their grasp.

Sword Bone smiled slightly at the sight, feeling pleased to see the disciples' enthusiasm.
