The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 363

The other six elders gazed at Theon curiously.

"The royal family did this in a high profile. They wanted all the ten princes to compete for the throne. Therefore, they set up competitions.

This session of competitions is to test the princes' ability in cultivating popularity and building up their own networks.

The princes will be asked to look for some young talents and have them compete for a place in the top 50.

When the results come out and the list is finalized, these 50 people will go into the Mysterious Nether World to look for a kind of spiritual fruit, called the soul-recovering fruit.

If the person chosen by the prince can find the soul-recovering fruit and bring it out of the Mysterious Nether World, this prince will get the throne.

"Oh? So the main purpose of holding the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games is to determine the heir to the throne.

That means all the young talents in Violet Orchid Empire will serve the royal family by taking part in the competitions and indirectly be controlled by it!"

an elder remarked angrily.

"Yes. What you said makes sense.

But it's said that in the Mysterious Nether World, there are innumerable vital energy crystals, spiritual elixirs and herbs and various kinds of secret martial arts skill formulas. I even heard that there are some Secret Weapons in there which can match the spiritual weapons or even the sacred weapons.

Theon, your Secret Weapon, the Eight Diagrams Board you refined is the one the principal disciple of our sect brought back from the Mysterious Nether World a hundred years ago. And have you heard of the Giant Magic Palm? Of course you have! It's a level six martial arts skill. But do you know that it was also brought from the Mysterious Nether World by the same principal disciple?

That's why the Mysterious Nether World enjoys the reputation of being a heaven for the cultivators.

I'm sure that these outstanding talents will go there willingly even if they know that they are serving the royal family."

"Yes.

It's true that the Mysterious Nether World has unrivaled attraction for cultivators."

Many leaders of the Sun Sect nodded in agreement.

"Alas! It's a pity that such an amazing place has been controlled by the royal family for so many years, while sects like ours can't have a share in it. All we can do is watch in envy.

If we can send some young disciples of our Sun Sect to the Mysterious Nether World to search for treasures about cultivation whenever the world opens, I'm sure that the competence of our sect will be improved several folds.

Besides, if our disciples can learn a few more grade six martial arts skills like Giant Magic Palm, then our sect is going to grow several times stronger," a female elder whose family name was Li remarked indignantly with a sigh.

"Absolutely!

But there is nothing we can do.

A hundred years ago, the five major sects in Violet Orchid Empire fought a duel with the cult which calls itself the Ghost Sect.

Although the Ghost Sect was cracked down in the end, our five sects also suffered heavy losses, and even till today, we haven't fully recovered yet. That's the primary reason why the imperial family has become the dominant power in Violet Orchid Empire.

That is a fact and it is useless to deny that."
