Chapter 861: Chapter 861:- Visitors From Main Continent [III]; No

Aditya already knew about this competition. But he was more interested in another competition. It was the biggest competition of all.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I am more curious about the Prodigy Ascension Tournament." Hearing this, James and Anna's expression stiffened.

They thought Aditya did not know about this tournament.

"Or, can you tell me about the Celestial Domain Battlefield?" These two were the most important and most viewed and most grand competitions in the whole world. These two competitions are the most prestigious of all.

James and Anna looked at each other. Neither of them expected Aditya to know about these competitions. They thought he did not know the main Continent. They were sent here with this assumption.

Since Aditya was ignorant about the Main Continent, it would have been far easier to convince him to join their Sect, but now it seems like it won't be as easy as the higher-ups of the Sect had imagined.

"I....I certainly did not expect His Majesty to know about these tournaments." James asked with a nervous smile.

James was hoping to know from where Aditya had learned all of these things. Maybe knowing the answer would give them a clue as to how much he knew.

"Well, I am not totally ignorant about the Main Continent."

"I wouldn't be the Emperor of this Empire if I was ignorant about my surroundings." Aditya didn't give them the answer they were hoping to hear.

"Prodigy Ascension Tournament is just like the Regional Youth Championship. However, the difference is that the winners and the runner-ups of the Regional Youth Championship from different regions come to fight in one stage to determine the youngest genius in the whole Main Continent."

"And the Celestial Domain Battlefield also follows the same format," Aditya said in their place.

"The Winner and the Runner-up from each region earn their spot to fight in the Celestial Domain Battlefield, And the winner is the strongest cultivator in the Six Continent."

James and Anna nodded their heads.

"But not 7th-order cultivators are allowed to join. This competitions are only limited to Peak 6th-order."

"Also, these tournaments also serve another purpose."

"Instead of going to war with each other, two factions send their best cultivators to fight in this stage. Whoever has the most wins or the most points wins everything while the loser loses everything."

"Basically, this is a way of settling disputes without too much bloodshed." However, Aditya knew that factions in the Main Continent very rarely use this method. Most prefer to rely on old-fashioned, full-blown wars.

"Yes....!!!" Anna felt an invisible pressure. They felt nervous just sitting and talking in front of the Emperor.

"So, tell me about the performance of the Chimera Shadow Sect in these two major tournaments." As soon as they heard this question, both of their expressions stiffened immediately.

Drops of sweat began rolling down Anna's forehead.

Aditya could hear how fast her heart was pounding. She was super nervous.

James wasn't doing much better. He felt nervous as well.

In the Main Continent, the success of all Sects is determined by how successful the Sect was in these two competitions.

The Prodigy Ascension Tournament and the Celestial Domain Battlefield aren't held annually like the regional tournaments.

Both tournaments are held together after every 5 years. This means the winners and Runner- ups of the last five years have entered this tournament. This itself makes Prodigy Ascension Tournament and Celestial Domain Battlefield 10 times, if not 100 times, tougher compared to Regional championships.

Many Sects that are dominating in the Regional Championships might not even reach the top 5 in these two big tournaments. Even cultivators from the most powerful Empires struggled to get into the top 3 of these tournaments. This is why Aditya asked them about their Sect's performance in these tournaments.

'Dammit! This bastard asked the questions that we were hoping to ignore.' James gritted his teeth, frustrated about the whole situation.

to end this conversation. He had learned enough for now.

"We are hoping that His Majesty would join our Chimera Shadow Sect," Anna said in a sincere

tone.

"With you, Our Sect will have a better performance at the Prodigy Ascension Tournament. And in the future, we are certain that you will perform really well at the Celestial Domain

Battlefield."

"If you join our Sect, then you will immediately become one of the candidates to become the Future Leader of the Our Sect."

"In fact, you will become the Sect's personal student." James made this up. He was certain that he would be able to convince their Sect leader to take Aditya as his personal student. Right now, it was important to make sure that Aditya felt tempted and joined their Sect.

Aditya slowly stood up as if he had heard enough.

"Thank you for the kind invitations."

"But my answer is no." He said with a simple smile.

He had no interest in fighting for a Sect. The Main Continent isn't his ambition. If needed, one

day, he would rather expand his Faction in the Main Continent than join anyone else's

Faction.

Hello Everyone! I know it has been a while! It has been more than 7 days since I last updated.

This is the first time in a while that I have taken such a long break from this novel.

Please rest assured - I am not dropping this novel. I love this novel and its characters.

The reason why I took such a long break?

There are a few reasons for this.

1. After finishing the Rin Rescue Arc, which tied directly into the Dune Sovereignty Empire Arc,

I felt stuck. This is what people or other Authors call the Author Block or Writer's Block. It's not like I completely did not know what I wanted to do with this novel, but I just felt that the next big volume, which will officially push this novel towards its end Volumes, has to be as good as this volume, if not better. I did not want to give you all a cheap volume to reach the

end.

(Quick Note - Despite the slow updates over the past two months, I am really satisfied with this volume. I feel that this might be one of the best arcs I have written as an author compared to other arcs in this novel.)

So, I could not find any inspiration. And given how busy I have become with my life as of late,

I couldn't sit down to watch any anime or movies to get inspired.

2. The Second of December is the UAE national holiday. Well, my friends dragged me to watch fireworks with them.

3. I was also mentally exhausted and needed a much-needed break.

I am not the type who likes to yap about my personal life. If you have read this novel so far,

then you would know this. But this time, I felt my readers deserved an explanation.

I am really grateful to all the readers for continuing to support this novel with power stones, comments, gifts, and golden tickets, even in this period of absence.
