Chapter 262: The Annual Contest:
With Mu Lingsha approaching, Mu Yan almost didn't conceal the hostility in her eyes as she stared straight at her.
However, what surprised Mu Yan most was that Mu Lingsha didn't bat an eye at her; she just glanced at her coldly and turned away, showing a cold and aloof demeanor.
Seeing Mu Lingsha's aloof appearance, a triumphant smile appeared on Mu Yan's lips.
At this point, she was more convinced that something wasn’t right with Mu Lingsha.
If not, Mu Lingsha would have reacted to such a provocative gaze without hesitation.
Of course, Mu Yan didn't know that the one currently controlling Mu Lingsha's body was another consciousness.
Although both Mu Lingsha were from the same source, they naturally developed significantly different personalities.
For the original Mu Lingsha, Mu Yan was indeed her biggest rival.
However, for Mu Lingsha born on the Lingxuan Continent, who was Mu Yan? At most, she was just like any other cultivator in the vicinity, a member of the Night Clan.
Seeing no conflict between Mu Lingsha and Mu Yan, many Night Clan cultivators around them displayed disappointment.
"Lingsha, are you really okay? This final stage of the annual contest requires you to compete with opponents of similar strength." Mu Tao and Mu Lingsha stood to the side, and Mu Tao immediately asked Mu Lingsha quietly.
Though Mu Yan and others deliberately organized this so-called annual contest, similar competitions weren't uncommon in other clans.
Therefore, the Night Clan adopted similar rules.
The process of this annual contest was divided into three parts.
The first part was the cultivation trial, where only Night Clan cultivators who reached a certain qualification could participate.
The second part was manifesting multiple techniques, as Night Clan cultivators needed to master various secret techniques of the Night Clan. If they couldn't master it, how could they be considered direct descendants of the Night Clan?
The third and most crucial part was the duel between Night Clan cultivators.
Cultivators' real strength could only be assessed through such duels.
Mu Lingsha's condition was unstable at the moment.
Well, it wouldn’t matter if the opponent was weaker.
However, accidents were likely to occur if she encountered opponents of similar strength. That's why Mu Tao asked Mu Lingsha at this moment.
Facing Mu Tao's concern, Mu Lingsha nodded slightly. "Big Brother, you can rest assured. Not only will I succeed in this contest, but I'll also slap Mu Yan and the others in the face hard."
Seeing Mu Lingsha's confident appearance, Mu Tao's expression became relaxed.
He nodded and replied, "Be careful then. I can't participate in this annual contest, so you must rely on yourself."
The Night Clan's annual contest assessed the cultivation progress of the Night Clan's younger generation.
For someone like Mu Tao, whose cultivation had already reached the peak of the middle-stages of the Heavenly God Realm, he didn't need to participate.
Buzz!
Just as many Night Clan cultivators participating in the annual contest appeared here, a slight rumble accompanied the appearance of countless runes above their heads.
These runes, exuding spatial laws, enveloped the Night Clan cultivators below, making their figures disappear instantly.
Seeing this, Mu Tao and others' expressions grew more solemn.
Their consciousness instantly spread to the desolate planet below to sense Mu Lingsha's situation.
…
(On an unknown desolate planet)
The figures of Mu Lingsha and the others appeared in various parts of the planet.
Although this desolate planet wasn't small, it was nothing to the immortals.
With just a thought, they could instantly appear anywhere on the planet.
However, being familiar with the rules of this annual contest, they didn’t move around but stood still, waiting for their cultivation to be evaluated.
Mu Lingsha did the same.
She stood by the river on this desolate planet, lost in thought. Just as she was absent-minded, ripples suddenly appeared in the river before her.
Before Mu Lingsha could react, she suddenly felt a strong fluctuation in her main consciousness.
"Quick, hand over control of the body to me; the test has begun."
Mu Lingsha had already become very skilled at switching between her main consciousnesses. Almost instantly, the duo completed the switch.
After gaining control of the body, Mu Lingsha's eyes shot out a clear light, staring fixedly at the ripples in the river before her.
These ripples continued to ripple outwards.
Before one circle dissipated, the second one appeared.
Such overlapping and dissipating circles made the entire water surface unstable.
What was even more astonishing was that these ripples contained strands of law power.
Each circle of ripples represented a type of law.
Mu Lingsha stared at these ripples for a while, and her tall figure stepped forward directly into the river before her.
Her fingers continuously tapped into the surrounding area.
Every time she tapped, a force of law would shoot out.
This law's power collided with the ripples beneath her feet, and the two quickly nullified each other. In this way, the circles of ripples in Mu Lingsha's hands continued to subside.
"To reach the level of a Heavenly God, one had to master law powers."
"Ordinary Immortal cultivators only need one type of law power."
"However, to become a True Supreme Heavenly God, one must master many laws and cultivate two laws in the depths of the soul."
"There are countless rules in the world, and even higher-level Heavenly God experts couldn't accurately say how many laws there were. The number of laws was infinite."
"The more laws one masters, the stronger the laws in the depths of one's soul become, and the higher one's cultivation realm is."
"Now is the time to test how many laws I have mastered."
The original Mu Lingsha, while dispelling the law ripples beneath her feet, calmly spoke.
Simultaneously, she seemed to instruct Mu Lingsha within her consciousness about her spiritual cultivation.
