Chapter 725 -139: Defeating Casually, Canglan Offering (Second Update at 8 PM)_3

For three consecutive days, tens of thousands sifting through sand, the process finally came to an end—now it was time for the battle of the top hundred.

And Li Hao had advanced smoothly to the top hundred, winning effortlessly along the way.

During the rest period, many influences sent their visiting cards to Li Hao, wishing to pay him a visit.

Among them, many were from the imperial families of dynasties, including some first-rate major powers.

Several conditions on these visiting cards tempted Li Hao; he sifted through them, compared them, and accepted the one from the Canglan Divine Dynasty.

Canglan Divine Dynasty was the largest divine dynasty in the Canglan Realm, revering ten Semi-Saints and maintaining relations with the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, the Buddhist Holy Land, and the Sage of Letters Holy Land—these interactions could be understood as paying protection fees.

...

However, the protection fee was Incense Fire. Within the divine dynasty, golden temples for the saints from the Three Saints Lands were built, where Incense Fire was offered all year round, and in return, the divine dynasty received the blessings of the Three Great Sacred Lands.

Canglan Divine Dynasty extended an olive branch to Li Hao, hoping he would become one of their worshipped, willing to offer the Incense Fire from ten cities to him.

Those ten cities were of immense size; Li Hao knew that if he could secure them, it would speed up his journey on the Incense Sainthood path, reducing the time from 300 years to 260 years—a savings equivalent to forty years of accumulation!

If in the Mortal World, that would be four hundred years!

Such was the magnitude of those ten cities.

The power of the Incense Fire depended not only on the population scale but also on the believers’ own strength.

The number of martial artists in the Canglan Divine Dynasty was enormous and the Incense Fire Power between a martial artist’s faith and that of a common person varied greatly.

Although winning first place in the Supreme Genius Battle would also grant him massive Incense Fire, instantly making him a Saint, Incense Fire remained a source of power for saints on the path of Incense Sainthood. Even after becoming a Saint, there was still an endless need, as if absorbing Heaven and Earth Energy—the more Incense Fire absorbed, the stronger one’s power.

Therefore, the saints who had been famous for many years were incredibly challenging to displace for the up-and-coming saints.

This was why, although there were dozens of dynasties in the Canglan Realm, only a few saints were worshipped—the Semi-Saints or other Saint Heirs found it extremely difficult to acquire Incense Fire, as the majority of the Incense Fire Power was controlled by the saints.

Li Hao agreed to the visiting card, and besides Incense Fire, he also requested Cultivation Techniques.

Receiving Li Hao’s response, a secret decree was delivered to the hands of Emperor Canghai in the Emperor Hall of the Canglan Divine Dynasty.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, that Qingfeng has also agreed to our invitation and is willing to become a worshipped figure of our Canglan Divine Dynasty.”

A towering General reported in a low voice.

A satisfied smile appeared on Emperor Canghai’s face, and he said, “Good, well done. This young man has immense strength. Now that he is to be worshipped by our Canglan Divine Dynasty, if he can fight on behalf of the Canglan Realm, our dynasty will receive a divine mandate of dragon energy!”

“Your Majesty, there is a discussion within the court—will ten cities’ Incense Fire be too much? These years, we have already forsaken quite a bit of Incense Fire in worshiping the Three Great Sacred Lands, and now we’re cutting another ten cities for someone who is merely in the Dao Law Realm, and not a Semi-Saint,” the towering General asked doubtfully, unsure why His Majesty was being so generous this time.

Emperor Canghai smiled faintly and said, “The prince from the Sword Ancestor Holy Land sent back word. This man is not simple; for ten cities, he’s worth it!”

The towering General was slightly stunned but, realizing his place, he didn’t ask further and said in a subdued voice:

“Besides Qingfeng, there are also three other geniuses with exceptional talent who have agreed to our invitations—one for Incense Fire of five cities, another for seven, and yet another for twelve!”

He looked towards Emperor Canghai and said, “Together, this amounts to the Incense Fire of thirty-four cities, equivalent to an entire state.”

Emperor Canghai’s eyes gleamed slightly, and he asked, “Did Chi Guang also agree?”

The towering General nodded, “They initially proposed twenty cities’ worth of Incense Fire, but after negotiations, it was compensated with other pills. Moreover, they specifically requested Princess Yun Ji to marry him.”

Emperor Canghai’s gaze flickered as he pondered before saying:

“With his strength, he’s certain to represent our Canglan Realm in battle, securing a definite share of dragon energy. It is Princess Yun Ji’s good fortune to add to the dragon energy of our Canglan Divine Dynasty by marrying such a genius.”

The towering General bowed his head, saying no more; in royal unions, sacrifice for the dragon energy was quite normal among the Emperor’s many children.
