Chapter 2678: Chapter 2678: Do Your Best!

“That little monk actually said he wants to crush the Four Great Artifact Refining Immortal Sects, it’s utterly ridiculous!”

“Haha, people should have dreams, shouldn’t they? What if they come true?”

“But even with dreams, you shouldn’t be daydreaming!”

The people around laughed even louder, their eyes full of teasing.

“Damn…”

Bujie was about to retort.

Yang Luo quickly grabbed Bujie, saying, “No need to argue with them, let’s prove ourselves in the contest.”

Bujie glared at those people and said, “Brother Yang, you must show them what you’re made of!

Defeat those guys and take first place, give them a good slap in the face!”

Yang Luo shook his head and said, “There are so many participants, I have no idea what place I can achieve.

After all, I’m only here for the Earth Core Mysterious Stone, winning first doesn’t really matter.”

Bujie immediately protested, “Brother Yang, your artifact refining skills are so advanced, how can you not have confidence in yourself?”

“Exactly!”

Ning Jianfeng chimed in, “Even if there are tens of thousands of participants, I believe you can still come out on top!”

Mo Qingkuang and others also nodded, confident in Yang Luo’s refining abilities.

At this moment.

Wu Qiansheng frowned and said, “Brothers, this time even the Heavenly Dao Sect, Qi Ling Valley, Xuanbao Palace, and Divine Machine Sect have sent artificers to participate.

I’m afraid it’ll be quite difficult for Brother Yang to secure first place.”

“What’s the deal with Heavenly Dao Sect, Qi Ling Valley, Xuanbao Palace, and Divine Machine Sect?”

Yang Luo asked.

Ye Luange and others also looked at Wu Qiansheng.

Wu Qiansheng replied, “These sects are the strongest refining sects in Heavenly State, Earth State, Xuanzhou, and Huangzhou.

They’ve cultivated countless artificers that have made a name for themselves in the four smaller states, and even across the five continents.

Many top Immoral Sects, Immortal Clans, Immortal Countries, and Holy Lands in the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain often invite artificers from these four sects as guest elders.”

Lu Yunqi continued, “The weapons and Dharma artifacts refined by these four sects are exceptional, and they’ve opened many stores in the four smaller states.

Whenever the Immortal Sects, Immortal Clans, Immortal Countries, and Holy Lands need to purchase weapons and Dharma artifacts, these four sects are their first choice.”

“Damn!”

Bujie twitched his mouth and said, “It seems these four great refining sects are quite extraordinary!”

“It’s over, it’s over, Brother Yang’s chances of getting first are slim!”

Ning Jianfeng shook his head, feeling uncertain.

Mo Qingkuang and others also began to feel anxious.

Although they all believed in Yang Luo’s refining skills.

They hadn’t seen other artificers’ work, so they were unsure about Yang Luo’s level compared to others.

Yang Luo asked again, “Are there any artificers from the five continents participating?”

“Probably not.”

Xia Chaoyang shook his head and said, “After all, Da Yi Immortal Country invited artisans from the four small states, not the five continents this time.

Besides, those artificers from the five continents always see themselves as superior and don’t associate with the four small states.”

“I see…”

Yang Luo nodded in realization.

Wu Qiansheng sighed and said, “Brother Yang, although there are no contestants from the five continents.

Still, the artificers from the four smaller states alone are formidable.

Besides the four strongest refining sects, other powerful sects have also sent their people to compete.

Such as the Hundred Refinement Sect, Immortal Treasure Sect, Treasure Pavilion, Artifact Refining Villa, etc.

Though they aren’t as strong as the four top refining sects, they are still considered first-rate.”

Yang Luo smiled and said, “It seems the opponents this time are all formidable!”

Even though he wasn’t sure about achieving a rank, a fighting spirit rose within him.

According to Senior Xinghe, Senior Long Jiu’er is the strongest artificer in the All Heavens.

As her disciple, not getting a rank in this competition would be embarrassing for her.

Winning first might be unrealistic, but breaking into the top ten is necessary.

Lu Yunqi said, “Brother Yang, just compete and do your best.

Even if you don’t win a rank or get the Earth Core Mysterious Stone.

We can always negotiate with whoever wins the stone and buy it for a high price.”

“Anyway, do your best!”

Yang Luo replied, then said, “Wait here for a moment, I’m going to line up to register!”

Yang Luo then went to line up for registration.

However, due to the large number of people signing up.

Yang Luo ended up spending two hours just to register.

After registering, Yang Luo flew back towards Bujie and the others.

“Brother Yang, when is the artifact refining competition starting?”

“Where is the competition held?”

Bujie and the others asked eagerly.

Yang Luo replied, “The competition is in three days at the Xianxia Mountain outside Xuantian City.”

Xia Chaoyang said, “Brother Yang, with only three days to prepare, you must get ready!”

“Brother Yang, you can use our weapons and Dharma artifacts to practice over the next few days!”

“For sure, let us know if you need any help!”

Wu Qiansheng and Lu Yunqi also offered.

“You aren’t competing, why are you so nervous?”

Yang Luo chuckled and shook his head, saying, “Even I’m not nervous, so there’s no need for you to be.

Take it easy, we can spend these three days exploring Xuantian City, eating, drinking, and having fun.”

Bujie laughed heartily and said, “Brothers, since Brother Yang isn’t nervous, why should we be?

Let’s follow Brother Yang’s lead and enjoy these three days in Xuantian City!”

“All right!”

“It’s just a contest, why be nervous!”

“Hahaha…”

Wu Qiansheng, Lu Yunqi, and others laughed heartily.

…

Three days passed quickly.

During these three days, Yang Luo and his companions roamed all over Xuantian City, enjoying food and entertainment.

Of course, Yang Luo didn’t completely relax.

During the day, he joined his friends in fun, but at night he diligently studied the Ten Thousand Tribulations Refining Technique and Artifact Refining Treasure Book taught by Senior Long Jiu’er.

During this time, whenever he had the chance, he’d delve into these artifact refining texts, gaining various insights.

Besides his own study, whenever he encountered questions, he’d ask Long Jiu’er.

Long Jiu’er patiently clarified, though she’d occasionally tap Yang Luo’s head lightly with her fist to remind him.

The morning of the third day.

All of Xuantian City became lively.

Many elders were leaving the inns and taverns, either flying through the air, riding mutated beasts, or operating flying immortal treasures, heading towards Xianxia Mountain.

Yang Luo and his group also stepped out from a hostel.

Gazing at the vast crowd heading towards Xianxia Mountain.

Yang Luo took a deep breath and waved his hand, “Brothers, let’s go!”

“Let’s go!”

Everyone shouted in unison.

Then, Yang Luo and his group soared into the sky, following the crowd straight towards Xianxia Mountain…
