Chapter 76: Your Highness, I Am Willing to Join You!
The winner is Wuling!
“Wow, he is the Holy Son of Taiwu Holy Land, the largest sect outside Tianjian City!”
“They say he’s young, yet he’s already at the peak of the Transcendent Realm and is likely close to reaching the Celestial Realm!”
“The battle techniques of Taiwu Holy Land are unmatched. Recently, this Holy Son was ambushed by three Celestial Realm experts from the Demon Sect. Can you guess what happened?”
“He actually killed one of them and escaped!”
“That’s terrifying… He’s definitely a top contender in this Great Hunt!”
The winner is Mo Shuiqiu!
“Is she the Saintess from Yunmo Dao Palace? Is she participating too?”
“Tsk tsk, who knows what kind of exquisite figure is hidden under that loose daoist robe!”
“Hush, do you want to die? I heard that a Holy Son recently tried to take liberties with this fairy, and all 100 of his entourage were slaughtered! Their bodies were laid out, and the blood splattered like an ink painting..”
“So ruthless? Her strength should not be underestimated!”
The winner is Chan Xin.
“Which sect is this monk from? Why does he look so lecherous?”
“Tsk tsk, his kasaya barely covers him, and you can see everything. How vulgar!”
“He’s a genius from the Joyful Sect, practicing only the Joyous Zen. His power is terrifying… They say he’s been with more women than you’ve seen! And several at once!”
“His cultivation is also terrifying. The women participating in the Great Hunt should be careful!”
Each region has also selected its participants. Xiao Chen and Ye Yun, two children of destiny, worked together to capture a fierce beast named Gui Che for Xiao Chen!
Their strength surged and even their luck value increased. Ye Yun’s divine skills also improved significantly, yielding great benefits. The two of them are convinced that they will stand out in the Great Hunt and wash away all previous humiliation!
On the other hand, the four from the Demon Sect, Chi, Mei, Wang, Liang, also successfully qualified for participation.

During the Great Hunt, they can openly hunt these Holy Sons and favored ones and gain many benefits, haha!
—
The final battle of the Great Hunt has officially begun!
Naturally, the host is Tianjian City.
Two thousand official contestants and countless spectators have gathered at the Great Plain of Mount Tai.
The hunt will officially start here.
On the plain, people are seated in circle after circle, creating a lively atmosphere! In the middle of the crowd, giant recording stones are set in a square shape.
At that time, there will be dedicated Sword Guards following the contestants in the air. These recording stones will project images of the contestants, like watching an outdoor movie!
A grand event should be enjoyed by all.
Looking around, the plain is packed with people. It’s estimated that millions of spectators have come!
“I’m so excited! Do you think His Highness will participate in this Great Hunt?”
“The Great Hunt happens once every four years. He didn’t participate four years ago, so he can’t miss it again, right?”
“Yes, this is Beiyang’s grand event. The prince is the host. It feels incomplete if he doesn’t participate.”
“This time, all the contestants are favored children of heaven. It’s possible he’s afraid, given the risk of not winning!”
Winning the Great Hunt requires more than just strength. Overall, the atmosphere is extremely lively. The anticipation among the audience is at its peak. If the prince participates, this event will likely be even more exciting.
In the front is the contestants’ area! The two thousand elite participants selected through rigorous selection are all here!
Naturally, Lin Qi’an and his maidservants are also present. Contestants must form teams of two, totaling one thousand teams for the competition.
“Your Highness, do you want to participate in the Great Hunt?” Su Xueni asked with a smile. “If you are interested, I would like to join you.”
If the prince wants to participate, he doesn’t need to go through the preliminary rounds. He can simply take number 1001, as the organizers are flexible.
“Your Highness, I can join you too!” Zi Lianyou quickly raised her hand.
“This plain has a complex terrain, and the competition area includes mountains, rivers, and forests. I should be able to assist you better,” Ran Yuwei analyzed seriously.
All three maidservants were competing for this spot, and Lin Hongyu was the most direct, clinging to her brother’s arm and acting spoiled.
“Brother, I want to participate! Take me!”
“No, you are too low in cultivation. If you get hurt, I would have to apologize to our parents.” Lin Qi’an rejected his fourteen-year-old sister’s request.
On the other side, the two princesses were also not far away, heavily protected by strong guards.
Ye Yun bowed to Zhao Yunji and said solemnly, “Your Highness! A few days ago, I embarrassed you. In this Great Hunt, I will participate with Brother Xiao and strive to win glory for you…”
His tone was sincere, showing that he had recognized his shortcomings and was working to correct them.
Zhao Yunji nodded slightly and as for gaining glory, she didn’t really care. These days, she had come to understand Lin Qi’an as a man.
Dominant, shameless, and roguish.
He often called the maidservants to serve him at night. Yet he was also incredibly talented, with unmatched strength among the younger generation, and exceedingly handsome, the heartthrob of countless women.
Simply put, he had the right to be arrogant! At least he was much better than those courteous hypocrites. His roguish charm made it hard for anyone to stay angry with him, sigh.
“Now, let me announce the rules!” An elder hovered in the air and announced loudly.
“First, upon entering the competition field, everyone must ride or walk, no flying, or you’ll be disqualified!”
This is because hundreds of cultivators will be following the projection. If everyone flies, it would be chaotic!
At this moment, the images were projected to the audience and the spectators eagerly watched. Some even began to take out snacks and enjoy the show.
“Second, teams of two, each with one token.”
“Third, the hunting rules. After entering the competition field, successfully hunting a low-level fierce beast earns 1 point, a high-level fierce beast earns 3 points.”
“Seizing other teams’ tokens earns 3 points. Successfully hunting the Golden-Winged Profound Sky Cicada earns 100 points!”
“Ultimately, the highest scorer wins. The winner can receive the Golden-Winged Profound Sky Cicada, a Heaven-rank technique, and a Sacred Rank weapon!”
Hearing the rewards, nearly everyone was thrilled. Not only the contestants, but the audience also exclaimed loudly, with voices forming a continuous stream.
Heaven-rank techniques and Sacred Rank weapons! As expected of Tianjian City, their generosity is astonishing! Any one of these items is at the level of a sect’s treasure!
“What a pity, I wish I could participate, but I’ve aged out.”
“Yeah, this is the stage for the young. The requirement is under forty years old. Those who are exactly forty have a huge advantage!”
“Indeed, the prince would be at a disadvantage if he participated, as he’s only twenty and others have twenty more years of cultivation.”
