“Out of dozens who enter, one succeeds. A success rate of one in several dozen is actually pretty decent,” Lin Yun said.
After all, the odds of reaching Supreme were terrifyingly low to begin with.
“Young Master, on the surface the success rate looks like one in several dozen, but remember that those who win the Peak Tournament and enter are already the cream of humanity, absolute geniuses of extraordinary talent. Even among them, only one in several dozen tournaments manages to break through. The probability is not high at all, yet it is still far better than having no such opportunity,” Zou Dongsheng explained.
“By the way, when is the next Peak Tournament?” Lin Yun asked curiously.
“Let me calculate… There are still seven thousand three hundred and some years until the next one,” Zou Dongsheng replied.
“That’s not too long,” Lin Yun murmured.
Since it was held every hundred thousand years, if the last one had only just ended, he might have had to wait eighty or ninety thousand years.
“Time is short. If you wish to compete in this upcoming tournament, Young Master, it will be rather rushed. The contestants are all monstrous talents, especially those with a real shot at the championship. Defeating them would be exceedingly difficult. If you cultivated in seclusion for another hundred thousand years and waited for the following tournament, I believe you would stand a genuine chance,” Zou Dongsheng said.
Some contestants even wield Origin artefacts. The level of the Peak Tournament is truly frightening. Every faction spares no expense to help their champion win.
Under such circumstances, the difficulty of defeating everyone to take the crown is obvious.
Lin Yun smiled. “Seven thousand three hundred years is hardly short for me. It is enough time to settle and improve myself. Even if I cannot take the championship, I can simply participate in the next one. There is no rule against entering multiple times, right?”
He spoke with a certain confidence in his own strength.
“There are very few restrictions. Anyone at the Harmonisation Realm may register. There are no additional conditions,” Zou Dongsheng confirmed.
“Good. In that case, I definitely want to give this one a try. Even if I cannot win the crown, I can at least experience the intensity of the Peak Tournament firsthand,” Lin Yun said.
“That works too. However, I suspect the Young Lord of the Nether Palace will also participate. He is at the Harmonisation Realm, so there is no reason for him not to. He might target you during the matches,” Zou Dongsheng warned.
“He is at Harmonisation Realm, so yes, he will very likely take part. The Supreme of the Nether Palace will not attend in person, will he?” Lin Yun asked.
If a Supreme from the Nether Palace showed up, the Young Lord could easily seek revenge. Even if Lin Yun changed his appearance again, they had been in close contact several times. Once Lin Yun fought on stage, the Supreme might still recognise him.
“That will not happen. Long ago, the Dao Alliance and the six great powers established rules to ensure fairness and prevent conflicts at the venue. Supremes from any faction are forbidden from attending in person. Of course, they will send many representatives, and the Supremes themselves will watch remotely,” Zou Dongsheng explained.
“Then I have nothing to worry about. If that Young Lord of the Nether Palace wants to come after me, let him come,” Lin Yun said with a laugh.
“There is one more thing, Young Master. To have the best chance of stepping into the Supreme realm, it is ideal to receive personal guidance from a true Supreme. The contestants from the major powers have all received such guidance. Without ever being instructed by a Supreme, even entering the Chaos Realm to comprehend would likely yield a lower success rate than I mentioned,” Zou Dongsheng said.
“Guidance from a Supreme? That will be extremely difficult for me,” Lin Yun replied, his expression turning grave.
The Infinite Heavenly Palace currently had no Supreme. Where could he find one to guide him?
“Indeed, it is difficult. I myself never received guidance from a Supreme, which is why breaking through is far harder for me than for those Harmonisation Realm cultivators who have,” Zou Dongsheng sighed.
“There is nothing to be done about it. For now, I will focus on what is in front of me,” Lin Yun said.
In his heart, Lin Yun had already made his decision. With seven thousand three hundred years until the Peak Tournament, he would devote himself entirely to raising his combat strength!
He was well aware that taking the championship would be harder than ascending to the heavens.
Just looking at weapons alone, the ability of others to wield Origin artefacts created an enormous gap. Lin Yun would need to rely on many techniques to bridge that difference.
