Put away his cave mansion, Zhan Chen walked out of the cave, at this time it was noon, the scorching sun shone on his head, stabbing Zhan Chen's eyes a little uncomfortable, a little moved his muscles and bones, he felt adapted, and noticed that the bubbling immortal yuan in his body was as turbulent as the Yangtze River, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, this time he retreated, so that his immortal yuan increased to four times the original amount.

Not only has Xianyuan increased, but his strength has also been greatly improved, from the original 400 million jin to 500 million jin!

Since opening the door to the cultivation of the Body Immortal, while Zhan Chen ascended to the Immortal Yuan realm, he could increase part of his strength accordingly, and the same increase in strength would also increase the Immortal Yuan, which made him much stronger than his peers.

Zhan Chen had already faintly felt that in the dark, the lofty Yuan Shen Realm seemed to be calling him, and the knowledge left by Sun Ke was enough for him to break through this realm, but after all, he had just stepped into the realm of the Great Perfection of the Immortal Yuan, not only was there still a lack of accumulation, but also needed a process of completely transforming Sun Ke's knowledge and experience into his own perception. So he still has a long way to go.

Zhan Chen looked at the time, and was in a trance, unconsciously, it has been twenty years since he retreated to the present, and twenty years in the outside world is equivalent to sixty years in the cave, which is a full year!

The great joy of the original breakthrough in his heart disappeared in a blink of an eye, and was replaced by a sense of urgency, he couldn't be complacent about this achievement, he had to work harder, and joining the Qin Xiao Sect and obtaining the news about the Hundred Flowers Holy Scripture had become his next key plan, and to join the Qin Xiao Sect, the minimum cultivation requirement was the Yuan Shen Realm.

"If I haven't reached the Yuan Shen Realm, I can't even join the Qin Xiao Sect, and if I haven't reached the Yuan Shen Realm, I'm not even Xiao Xie's opponent, even if I go back, what can I do?" Zhan Chen's fists clenched unconsciously.

Walking out of the jungle, he returned to Cangyue City again, but found that the atmosphere of this giant city was a little different today, with lights and decorations everywhere, as if some kind of celebration was going to be held.

Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel curious, so he grabbed a passerby and asked, "Friend, do you know what we're going to do in Cangyue City lately, why is it so lively?"

The man glared at Zhan Chen, revealing a ghostly look, and said, "You don't know this, in three months, the biggest celebration of the Cangyue Thirty-six Alliance, the Demon Hunting Conference, will be held in our Cangyue City, this is a once-in-a-five hundred event, and people from all over the world will come to see the excitement." ”

"What the hell is this?" Zhan Chen asked puzzled.

"That's it, let me tell you, this demon hunting conference is a hunting conference jointly organized by Ouyang Hui, the city lord of Cangyue City, and the city lord of Cangyue Thirty-six City, and the opposite direction of the hunt is the powerful demon beasts distributed in the surrounding area of our Cangyue. At that time, each giant city will send a huge team to participate, and the winner will be determined according to the number and quality of monsters hunted by each team. This is a supreme honor, because the Demon Hunting Conference has always been one of the best ways for each of the thirty-six cities to show off their strength and establish their position among the city-states. Therefore, the winner of each tournament will not only receive a rich reward from the tournament, but also have the opportunity to be received by the lord of the castle!"

"I see. Zhan Chen finally understood, and asked again: "Then what are the requirements for participating in this demon hunting competition?"

"Yes, first of all, you must have registered in the Demon Hunting League to participate, although the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Alliance is in our Cangyue City, but in other giant cities, there are also branches. The competition of the Demon Hunting Conference is divided into two stages: the preliminary round and the final, and the preliminary round is carried out within each giant city to determine the strongest ten demon hunting teams, and then these teams will participate in the final competition as representatives of the city. ”

"The entire demon hunting team in Cangyue City can participate, isn't that too much? In this way, the scale of the preliminary competition is unimaginable!" Zhan Chen was taken aback.

"That's not going to happen, because there are too many demon hunting teams in the Demon Hunting League, so the qualifications are restricted, first of all, the average strength of the whole team must be above the Xianyuan Realm, with more than ten members, and the number of demon hunting tasks completed must reach more than three hundred, so that once screened, the number of qualified demon hunting teams will be greatly reduced, and the teams that can be qualified for the competition each time will be four hundred to five hundred. ”

"Is there four hundred to five hundred in each city-state?"

"No, our Cangyue City is the largest giant city, so it will have such a scale, and the other giant cities usually only have two hundred to three hundred teams, and the least is even more than a hundred. ”

"In this way, the scale is still very large. ”

"Yes, that's why such a grand event only happens once every five hundred years, and a lot of monsters have to be hunted every time. ”

Zhan Chen pondered for a moment, immediately thought of two key questions, and asked, "In this way, isn't it true that the more members of the demon hunting team, the higher the cultivation, the more likely it is to advance." ”

The man shook his head with a smile and said, "Theoretically, this is true, but this advantage can only be reflected in the screening in the preliminary stage, and in the final stage, the rules are changed. ”

"What's changed?"

"First of all, the ten teams participating in the final competition, the Yuan Shen Realm and the Xianyuan Realm are three or seven open, that is to say, there can only be three demon hunting teams composed of all the strong people in the Yuan Shen Realm, and there are seven teams composed of all the strong people in the Immortal Yuan Realm, just to take care of the large number of demon hunting teams in the Xianyuan Realm, so that more people can be qualified to participate in the competition; ”

"So what are the requirements to qualify for the finals?"

"At the beginning of the Demon Hunting Competition, all participating teams will be provided with a list of demon beasts, only by hunting the demon beasts on the list, and obtaining their demon pills can get points, the final result will be arranged according to the total number of points obtained by each team, the Yuan Shen Realm Demon Hunting Team, take the top three, the Xianyuan Realm Demon Hunting Team, take the top seven, these ten teams can represent the city-state, participate in the final competition. By the way, the final final was scored in the same way. ”

"That's true, but I don't understand, does it make sense to hold such a contest?"

"How not, at least two. ”

"Which two?"

"One is that through such a competition, the force of our human race is promoted, and the demon race is deterred, and after each conference, the demon beasts in various places will stop for a period of time; Do you know? In the Cangyue Thirty-six Alliance, our powerful giant cities such as Cangyue City, Snow Moon City, and Vast City have long occupied the first echelon, and the other giant cities have to take out 10 to 30 percent of their total annual income every year as a tax to pay to us, and the basis is based on the ranking results of this demon hunting competition, in other words, if we Cangyue City are at the bottom of the competition, we may have to pay 30 percent of the taxes to the other giant cities. ”

"So domineering!" Hearing the man's words, Zhan Chen couldn't help but be surprised.

"Well, this is the rule that our Cangyue Thirty-six Alliance has set since ancient times. ”

"I don't understand, isn't the ranking of the strength of the giant city determined by the cultivation of the city lord and the scale of the giant city?"

"I heard that in ancient times, it was indeed like what you said, but this was unfair, causing fierce resistance from other city-states, making the Cangyue region in the midst of war all year round. So later, the major giant cities sat down to negotiate and decided not to use the size of a giant city and the strength of the city's main cultivation to determine the ranking between the city-states, but instead to use a peaceful game method, so that the weak city-states could also win the game. ”

"I see. Zhan Chen finally understood the origin and significance of the competition, and he asked again: "So, isn't the Demon Hunting Competition of great significance to every city-state?"

"Yes, especially for the weak city-states, this is a rare opportunity to change their disadvantage. ”

At this point, Zhan Chen finally had a general understanding of this demon hunting conference, and said goodbye to that person.

Walking on the street, he unconsciously thought of Hua Wutie, and guessed that Hua Wutie and his Huayue Demon Hunting Team were also likely to participate in this Demon Hunting Competition. When he came back to his senses and found that he had unconsciously walked to the door of Hua Yuantie's house again, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he still knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it happened to be Hua Wutie himself who came out to greet the guests, and when he saw Zhan Chen, his face showed a look of disbelief, and he pointed at him and asked, "You, are you Brother Zhan?"

Zhan Chen nodded with a smile and said, "What's the matter, brother, don't you know me?"

"Your cultivation has only been twenty years!"

Zhan Chen suddenly realized, indeed, it only took twenty years to leap from an immortal yuan middle-level powerhouse to an immortal yuan great perfection powerhouse, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, he subconsciously touched his nose and covered up: "I got a little adventure in the Void Secret Realm, so-"

As soon as he said this, Hua Wutie put his arm on his shoulder enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Hahaha, brother, don't say it, Brother Zhan, you are a genius, my brother can't compare with you, you are stronger, brother, I am sincerely happy, let's go! Let's drink and celebrate your breakthrough in cultivation!"

So Zhan Chen was dragged by Hua Wutie to the restaurant to drink, the two of them were in high spirits, Zhan Chen asked, "Brother Hua, are you participating in this demon hunting conference?"

"Hehe, don't ask, I'm sure I'll participate, I'll tell you, I've participated in the Demon Hunting Conference three times, and I remember that I made it to the top ten, but at that time, the Flower Moon Team hadn't been born yet, and I was still a member of the Tiger Team, and it was because I got the reward of the competition that I broke through the Immortal Yuan Great Perfection Realm in one fell swoop, and set up my own door and established the Flower Moon Team. Speaking of this, Hua Wutie's eyes showed a look of remembrance.

"Oh, it looks like it's quite profitable to make it to the finals. ”

"Yes, just the high-grade immortal stones, everyone can get at least hundreds of thousands, the most important thing is not the immortal stones, but the glory, everyone will treat you as a hero, that pride - don't mention it. ”

"Be a hero?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that this matter had become troublesome, with his character, he didn't like to be famous, but preferred to stay alone in the corner and secretly become strong.

At this moment, Hua Wutie suddenly grabbed Zhan Chen's hand and said to him sincerely: "Brother Zhan, come with us, the Flower Moon Team needs you very much!"
