Chapter 1,216  Tiandu Martial Arts Conference

September 9th, Tiandu Martial Arts Contest.

As early as the beginning of September, most of the cultivators in Tiandu City could not wait any longer - Tiandu Martial Arts Contest, the focus of everyone's attention!

Although many cultivators in Tiandu City had no chance to participate in such a grand event of the Five States, they still traveled thousands of miles to Tiandu City.

The reason was to take a look at the Tiandu Martial Arts Contest!

As time got closer, there were more and more speculations about the Tiandu Martial Arts Contest, and in the end, there were even more different opinions and no consensus.

For example, how to evaluate the eligibility of the Tiandu Martial Arts Contest, how to divide the competition process, and even the various prizes that can be obtained by the final ranking...

Tiandu City was very patient. No matter how incredible the rumors were on the market, Tiandu City did not give any official explanation.

So that on September 8th, the eligibility of the Tiandu Martial Arts Contest was still not made public - this inevitably left the public confused.

It should be noted that a competition of the level of Tiandu Martial Arts Competition can be regarded as the strongest event for Jindan cultivators in this world.

It is conservatively estimated that there are no less than tens of thousands of participants, and even up to 100,000!

With such a large number of contestants, if there is no effective elimination mechanism, the progress of the entire Tiandu Martial Arts Competition will inevitably be delayed and bloated...

Therefore, the qualification assessment of the contestants is the first thing to bear the brunt.

Otherwise, if any Jindan beginner cultivator can stand on the main field of Tiandu Martial Arts Competition and show off his power, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of all cultivators in the world?

But Tiandu City did not list a date until the eighth day of September.

Seeing this, many cultivators speculated: Could it be that the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition will be postponed again?

If so, Tiandu City will really lose face!

No matter how everyone speculated, the ninth day of September arrived as scheduled.

On this day, the entire Tiandu City was crowded, but silent.

They were all waiting for what explanation and measures Tiandu City would give...

Tiandu City did not disappoint everyone. When the first ray of sunlight shone on Tiandu City, a huge spiritual curtain quietly condensed above Tiandu City.

In just three breaths, the entire Tiandu City was wrapped in the spiritual curtain.

Some local cultivators in Tiandu saw the spiritual curtain. Although they were a little surprised, they still recognized that it was a super-large spiritual vision group composed of small spiritual visions.

Some foreign cultivators were stunned when they saw such a scene.

At this time, the light and shadow on the spiritual curtain swayed, revealing a beautiful figure.

The female cultivator was like a fairy standing in the air, slowly walking above Tiandu City, and there was a soft sound like the sound of nature, spreading.

At the beginning, it was just some polite greetings.

Then, the female cultivator changed the subject.

"Fellow Daoists! Because there are too many cultivators who signed up for the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference this time, according to incomplete statistics, the number has exceeded an astonishing 80,000. If it is a regular event, even if it is a knockout round, it will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and energy. In view of this, Tiandu City has opened up a new event process..."

At this point, everyone's eyes were focused on the female cultivator.

The female cultivator stretched out her white hand and pointed to the sky.

Everyone didn't understand why, but still followed the guidance of the female cultivator and looked up at the sky.

The sky above Tiandu City is clear all year round, without wind or rain, and the temperature is suitable all year round.

However, when everyone looked up, they were surprised to find that there was a huge dark cloud pressing over Tiandu City, and it was getting closer and closer, and getting tighter and tighter...

Then, there were bursts of roaring sounds.

Some of the timid ones were already terrified, and they just ran away.

Some of the braver ones pretended to be calm, but they were too stunned to move.

Fortunately, just when the shadow in everyone's heart was getting heavier, the dark cloud that was pressing down in the sky finally slowed down and gradually settled in the air.

It was not until this time that the female cultivator on the spiritual curtain continued to speak.

"Don't be alarmed, fellow Taoists! This is not a strong enemy invading Tiandu. Tiandu City has stood for thousands of years and is as solid as a rock. You don't have to worry about it!" After saying some kind words to comfort her, the female cultivator pointed to the dark cloud in the sky and smiled: "This is Yunzhong City!"

Yunzhong City!

As soon as these three words came out, the whole Tiandu City was drowned in whispers.

"Everyone! Silence!" After waiting for a while, the female cultivator explained: "This Yunzhong City is the first battle city built by our Tiandu City after spending ten thousand years! This time, the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition is opening, and Tiandu City intends to move the competition venue of the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition to Yunzhong City. At that time, the Jindan cultivators who sign up for the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition will be randomly teleported to Yunzhong City until only thirty-six people are left in Yunzhong City!"

After these remarks, all sides were silent.

Then, the female cultivator introduced the rules of the preliminary round of the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition in detail.

It's also very simple to say, the only rule is - there are no rules!

After the cultivator enters Yunzhong City, no matter what means, magic weapons, traps, or strategies you use, as long as you can persist until you become one of the last thirty-six people, you can win smoothly and win the qualification to participate in the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition semi-finals.

Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the contestants, Tiandu City is also prepared.

Every participating cultivator who enters Yunzhong City can get a jade token.

This jade token not only records every detail of the cultivator's experience after entering Yunzhong City, but also serves as a life-saving talisman.

Once a cultivator encounters a powerful and fatal attack in an instant, the Jade Order will automatically activate and turn into a beam of light to protect the participating cultivators from escaping from Yunzhong City.

Of course, cultivators can also take the initiative to activate the Jade Order and escape from Yunzhong City before falling into a desperate situation. In this way, the cultivators will naturally lose the possibility of further progress.

But compared with life, the rematch of Tiandu Martial Arts Competition is nothing...

After listening to the explanation of the female cultivator, the Jindan cultivators in Tiandu City who are interested in the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition can be said to be happy and worried.

However, no matter what, with the order of the female cultivator, the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition officially began - although it was only the preliminary round!

Next, the cultivators of the Arbitration Institute came forward to distribute the Jade Orders to the participating cultivators.

Although the number of participating cultivators was astonishing, the ones in charge of distributing the Jade Orders in the Arbitration Institute were all Yuanying ancestors, and even the three vice presidents personally went into battle.

With the help of spiritual consciousness, the jade orders were soon delivered to their respective owners - some disdained them, while others regarded them as treasures.

In front of Xiao Mian, there was also a jade order floating.

There were two big characters and three small characters written on the jade order - Xiao Mian! Nanyuezhou!

Looking at the jade order quietly, Xiao Mian did not reach out to take it at the first time.

Seeing Mo Lichou staring at him in the air, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly.

This jade order was given to Xiao Mian by the old ghost Mo Lichou himself. After the jade order flew out, Mo Lichou stared at Xiao Mian without blinking.

After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiao Mian finally reached out to take the jade order.

Seeing this, Mo Lichou disappeared...

Humph!

This old ghost!

Still not giving up!

Just as Xiao Mian was thinking this, some cultivators who had obtained the jade order had activated the jade order, and they saw them turn into streams of light, flying into the sky, and rushing towards the city in the clouds.

To be fair, if you have to enter Yunzhong City sooner or later, it is better to enter early than later.

This is just like the Zulong Residence in Qin County that day. The cultivators who enter early can get familiar with the surrounding terrain and environment as soon as possible, so as to give the latecomers a head start.

The cultivators who enter later have to beware of the enemy's ambush and conspiracy. Even if everything is safe in the end, they will suffer a lot of psychological pressure.

Watching the streams of light rising into the sky and disappearing in Yunzhong City, Xiao Mian just held the jade order tightly and did not move.

"Brother Xiao! Aren't you going in yet?"

"Huahua! Why are you so anxious? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" Without turning around, Xiao Mian knew that it was Hua Mancheng who was greeting him. Hua Mancheng shook his head, walked up, and asked in a low voice: "What? Is there still no news about Gui Hai and the others? Didn't they say that the Supreme Elder of the Zhenkong Dao, Senior Kong Kong'er, had already taken action and successfully penetrated the imperial mausoleum barrier and led out the Jindan cultivators trapped in the imperial mausoleum?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Mian remained silent.

What Hua Mancheng said was true. Under Xiao Mian's instigation, Kong Kong'er did return to the Huaxia realm, and against all odds, he personally took action and penetrated the imperial mausoleum seal.

Gui Hai and others did escape from the imperial mausoleum.

But after escaping the imperial mausoleum, Gui Hai, Jing Chu, and Yin Jiansheng were hunted down by the Demon Seal...

The cause was that Heavenly Killing Demon Sword!

According to the news Xiao Mian got, the Heavenly Killing Demon Sword was divided into three!

Although Xiao Mian didn't know why the legendary Heavenly Killing Demon Sword, which was said to be one of the three great demon swords, was broken into three pieces, but according to the information sent back by Gui Hai, the Heavenly Killing Demon Sword was indeed divided into three pieces, and Mo Yin, Gui Hai and Yin Jiansheng each got one piece.

Mo Yin went deep into the imperial mausoleum and was trapped in danger just for the Heavenly Killing Demon Sword.

Now that he had escaped death, he only got one-third of the Heavenly Killing Demon Sword. How could he give up?

After escaping from the imperial mausoleum, Mo Yin started to hunt down Gui Hai and the other two.

Speaking of it, it was just a change that happened a few days ago...

Xiao Mian wanted to rush to help Gui Hai and the other two, but was sternly rejected by the three.

Logically speaking, even if Gui Hai, Yin Jiansheng and Jing Chu joined forces, they could protect themselves even if they were no match for Mo Yin, so Xiao Mian didn't do anything unnecessary.

Those who didn't want to hunt down the three people were not only Mo Yin, but also Mo Tong and Mo Yue.

In this way, the situation of Gui Hai and the other two was full of dangers.

Thanks to the unity of the three people, they were able to fight and flee all the way from Huaxia to Tiandu City.

Calculating the time, if everything goes well, the three people should enter Tiandu City today!

As for Hua Mancheng, seeing Xiao Mian remain silent, he touched his nose awkwardly, but deep in his heart, he was also quite angry.

Thinking of him, Hua Mancheng, he is one of the best figures of the younger generation in Qin County.

He tried to talk to Xiao Mian of Nanyue with kind words, but he ignored him.

I wanted to find a reliable ally in Yunzhong City, but now it seems that I have put my face on the cold butt of others...

Hua Mancheng was just thinking about this, but Xiao Mian suddenly spoke.

"Huahua! I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, as long as you don't regret the agreement made by Zulongzhong that day, Xiao will never regret it!" After giving Hua Mancheng a big reassurance, Xiao Mian turned and asked, "Where is the Qin County cultivator?"

Xiao Mian's question was naturally not a casual question.

Hua Mancheng frowned slightly, but still told the truth.

According to what Hua Mancheng knew, there were no less than thousands of Qinjun monks who signed up for the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference, but there were only a few who were famous.

The first one was the first disciple of Zhishan Sect - Yu Wushuang!

The second is the Seven Emotions Demon Palace's twin heroes Hua Mancheng and Jiang Ruowang!

The third is the core disciples of the four great families of King Qin and Lv Ji!

Apart from that, the rest are mediocre.

"I haven't seen Yu Wushuang yet, but from what Master said, Yu Wushuang seems to have cultivated the "Supreme Heart Sutra" of the Supreme Goodness Sect to the Mahayana realm. If she hadn't suppressed her cultivation in order to participate in the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference, she would have successfully condensed her infant like Qin Bogong!"

"What!? Qin Bogong? He actually condensed his infant in advance?"

"Yes! So Brother Xiao had better be more careful in the future..."

"Heh! I killed a sixth-level peak spirit beast when I was in the foundation-building period!"

The sixth-level peak spirit beast that Xiao Mian was talking about was the natal spirit beast of Qi Zhizhai, the master of the beast-serving school in Wanzong City, Nanyue Province that day - the mountain-piercing dragon carp beast!

Although there were many coincidences on that day, Xiao Mian's words were not false.

The mountain-piercing dragon carp beast did die at the hands of Xiao Mian...

The implication is that although Xiao Mian is only a Jindan cultivator now, and Qin Bogong has successfully condensed his infant, Xiao Mian is not afraid of him at all.

Hua Mancheng was speechless when he heard this.

Just at this moment, Xiao Mian's expression changed and he turned around suddenly.

With eyes like lightning, Xiao Mian looked directly at the west gate of Tiandu City.

Hua Mancheng didn't understand why at first, but soon, Hua Mancheng's face changed slightly.

I saw three escape lights flying side by side from the west gate.

One of them was blood-colored and sword-shaped, with murderous aura;

Another one was ink-colored and knife-shaped, with murderous intent soaring to the sky;

Another one was tangible and intangible, changing unpredictably.

Behind the three escape lights, there was another demonic aura rushing to the sky, rushing towards him...

Although Hua Mancheng was secretly shocked, he had other thoughts in his mind.

This Nanyue Xiao Mian, in terms of realm, is a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator like himself. Everyone has spiritual consciousness, so why is he more foresighted than himself?

Could it be that his spiritual consciousness is stronger than his?

Or does he have some ghostly treasure?

While Hua Mancheng was thinking about this, Xiao Mian beside him had slowly risen into the sky.

The starlight fell, Xiao Mian put his fingers together to form a sword, and shook his finger towards the western sky.

The sword moved with his finger, and the Star Magnetic Sword turned into a sword light, rushing straight towards the three oncoming escape lights - or more accurately: the soaring demonic energy behind the three escape lights!

Those three escape lights, without asking, are the three people of Jingchu.

The one who is chasing the three people, and even dares to be so rampant in Tiandu City, is the direct disciple of the Demon Emperor Wei Changtian - Mo Yin!
