Chapter 1667: Competing Over the Young Guild Master Position

Just like that, a year passed. By this time, the dominion had truly sunk into chaos. Disasters rose one after another in various regions. The Diabolic Dragon Clan had successfully gained a foothold in the dominion. They, along with numerous devils, had erased and occupied the Dusk Dynasty.

A powerful ancestor of the Diabolic Dragon Clan had personally appeared. That ancestor was a peak Devil God and was not an opponent humanity could easily contend with. At the Western Desert, the Zombie God had appeared. It had madly taken over large swathes of land. With its army of zombies and strength comparable to the top human Gods, it seemed undefeatable.

There were also rumors that the allied alien army was on the way to the dominion and would arrive soon. The many calamities placed humanity in deep fear, and many sought asylum from the bigger organizations.

The three superpowers—Celestial Alliance, Immortal Road Chamber, and Guangling Palace—took the chance to recruit a large number of new members. The Immortal Road Chamber had recruited the unrivaled young genius, Dongfang Wudi; the Guangling Palace had recruited He Caiyi, the most talented princess of the Immortal Dynasty; while the Celestial Alliance had recruited Beiming Tianpeng.

As for the Guardians Guild, they hadn’t stayed idle either. In fact, they were doing even more than the three superpowers. A thousand guardian tokens had been spread out all over the dominion, and cultivators younger than one thousand years old could fight for them. So long as one could reach the Guardians Guild with a token in hand, one would become part of the new generation of guardians. One would even obtain the qualification to fight for the young guild master position.

The thousand tokens did not restrict the participants by their background. Even the members of the three superpowers could participate if they so wished. So long as one met the requirements and was strong enough, one would be able to join.

The entire dominion turned crazy as this news spread. One hidden genius after another appeared before the world. Some ancient monsters also reappeared after possessing some new bodies. They were all aiming for the tokens, and they would be fighting for the young guild master position.

So long as one became the young guild master, one would be able to command almost the entirety of the world. That was a true throne befitting a God. The Guardians Guild was the oldest organization in existence, the fairest organization founded by Venerable Yuan Shi. Although its nature had changed somewhat over the years, countless people still dreamed of taking over the guild and obtain Venerable Yuan Shi’s strongest inheritance.

Apart from the many Gods participating in the fight for the tokens, the two deputy guild masters of the guild itself had also cultivated their own outstanding successors. These successors were the ones with the highest chance of winning the position.

The battle for the young guild master position would be held after five years. Based on the lord guardians’ prediction, the aliens would also arrive in five years. Thus, the new young guild master would be expected to lead the strongest human experts in a battle against the aliens and protect the dominion.

Xiang Shaoyun was Ge Yi’s sole successor. Thus, he had long become one of the candidates for the position. Unfortunately, he had never been formally acknowledged by the guild itself. Furthermore, he was still comparatively young. Despite his previous feats, actually obtaining the position would be hard if he wasn’t a God.

One ought to know that there were a decent number of Gods younger than 1,000 years old in existence. They were the most talented geniuses among humanity, and none of them would see Xiang Shaoyun as an actual competitor, even though he was the number one Saintking on the Heaven Battling Ranking.

Prior to this, the Dragon Phoenix Academy had released news that they were searching for Xiang Shaoyun. They also said that Ge Yi was summoning Xiang Shaoyun back to have him join the Guardians Guild and fight for the young guild master position.

Unfortunately, Xiang Shaoyun had gone missing. The entire Dragon Phoenix Academy was panicking as they tried to locate him because the other three academies had gathered their most talented disciples to participate in the competition.

For example, the True Martial Academy had gathered the top geniuses among their previous batches of disciples. These people had long entered the God Realm. Additionally, Dugu Qiubai from their latest batch had also been recruited for the endeavor. He had the Primal Chaos Physique, the same physique Venerable Yuan Shi had, and he was also supported by the Dugu Clan, an ancient and powerful clan that would do everything they could to help him take the throne.

The Nine Palace Academy had also recruited a person called Shi Gong to fight for the position. It was rumored that he was much scarier than even Jiu Tian. He had entered the God Realm 500 years ago. After so long, he had most definitely reached an unimaginable height.

The Sacred Deer Academy was known as the weakest of the four academies, but a charming and talented alumnus of theirs had returned as well. She was Lu Xiaoniang, their principal’s daughter. She looked like a kind and beautiful young lady, yet she also had a deep and unmeasurable strength.

Apart from these academies, the many ancient organizations had also sent their strongest young Gods out. One could say that a myriad of Gods had shown themselves to participate in the competition of the age.

As for Xiang Shaoyun’s people, few had the qualification to participate in the competition. People like Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, and Tang Longfei might be decently talented, but entering the God Realm was still extremely difficult for them. Only people like Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine stood a chance to enter that realm.

As for Despair and Liu Qingchen, Xiang Shaoyun had sent both of them away. Of course, these two had a slight chance at entering the God Realm, but it did not seem likely that they would actually reach that realm in a short period of time.

The Ziling Sect was still growing healthily. They did not seem to have suffered any negative effects from the three organizations’ previous attack. The sect had displayed enough strength during the attack to force the three organizations to take them seriously. More importantly, the South Divine Devil’s Darkdevil Sect had also announced their alliance with the Ziling Sect, making it so that the three organizations did not dare to act rashly.

The three organizations were also participating for the young guild master position. They all wanted to obtain the tokens that would qualify them for the competition, and thus, they decided to temporarily forget their grievance with the Ziling Sect to focus on getting a token.

Of course, they also spent a lot of their effort searching for Xiang Shaoyun. They would not allow Xiang Shaoyun to become the young sect master. In fact, they wouldn’t even allow him to become a member of the Guardians Guild. If he became a member, it would only serve to place them in a bad position.

With Di Jun’s return and the gradual appearance of their other experts, the Di Clan took over a province to further spread their rule. The Yu Clan was also not willing to miss out. They had also been spreading their rule, not wishing to see the Di Clan grow beyond them.

The Di Clan’s new prince, Di Lin, was extremely powerful. In the ancient battlefield, he had obtained considerable gains. Not only had he entered the Heaven Battling Ranking’s top 100, but he had also started to break through into the God Realm. It was rumored that he had succeeded in his breakthrough.

As for the Yu Clan, a genius known as the Undying Phoenix had appeared. The day he made his appearance to the world, he created a phenomenon of a myriad of birds paying homage to him. The entire Yu Province was alarmed.

One genius after another appeared all around the world. Among them, Ximen Xue glowed the brightest. After leaving the ancient battlefield, he had returned to the Ximen Clan and entered seclusion. Less than half a year later, he created a phenomenon of a myriad of swords paying homage to him and entered the God Realm. Numerous major organizations tried to recruit him, but he rejected all of them. He then became known as the Emotionless Sword God.
