Chapter 292: Climbing the Tower to Gaze at the Stars
Before leaving Qingzhou, Luo Chuan had already learned the rules and procedures of the stargazing conference from Elder Taishang.
In terms of general rules, the entire stargazing conference is divided into two parts, one is for the stargazing powerhouses in each state to sit and talk about the Tao, and the other is to climb the stargazing tower to prove their way.
But in terms of importance, the latter is of course heavier.
As Luo Chuan said before, the stargazing conference is not a competition in the ring, generally speaking, in the part of the argument, it is more in the way of literary debate, and there is very little chance of a challenge by force, even if it really appears, the challenged party also has the right to refuse.
As for if someone wants to take the opportunity to start a war and settle personal grudges, then the Holy Star Division is not an ornament!
At this year's stargazing conference, to say the least, there were also two powerhouses of the Qixing Realm in person.
In addition to the Master of the Holy Star Division, the Shenwei General Xu Bei will also come to suppress the formation.
If you want to challenge the majesty of the two Qixing Realm powerhouses, let alone these Star-Gathering Realm powerhouses present, even Tianchen Academy can't do it!
Again, the stargazing conference is not for personal fighting, but for enlightenment.
Such an opportunity is not to say that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it is indeed not easy to come by, of course, in the end, what can be realized, how much can be realized, it depends on the creation of each person.
The highlight of the stargazing conference, stargazing, is fair to every practitioner who attends, but not everyone can reach the same height.
The stargazing tower has a total of ninety-nine floors, and the closer you are to the starry sky with each additional floor, the clearer the stars you see, the more abundant the star power, and the deeper the starry sky avenue that you can perceive.
Of course, this stargazing tower is not as high as you want to climb, each floor is set up with different tests, only through the test, the stargazing tower is recognized, in order to go to the next level.
Moreover, although there is no limit to the number of times a practitioner can participate in the stargazing conference, there is an unwritten rule that the age of the participants must not exceed 50 years old, and the cultivation must be above the gathering star and below the broken star.
Or in other words, those who are over fifty years old, or who have cultivated below the Gathering Star or above the Broken Star, even if they go up to the Stargazing Tower, it is difficult to make achievements.
This has already been confirmed by the experience of countless practitioners who have ascended the stairs in the past.
Generally speaking, in the entire Great Liang Empire, a thirty-year-old star gathering realm powerhouse can already be regarded as talented, amazingly talented, plus the rule that the stargazing conference is held once every nine years, so it is full of calculations, in fact, every star gathering realm powerhouse only has two chances to climb the tower at most.
Like Luo Chuan, who has the peak cultivation of the Star Washing Realm at the age of only sixteen, and is specially invited by the Star Hall to participate in the stargazing conference, even if you look at the entire history of Daliang cultivation, it is rare!
Even if Luo Chuan came to participate in the stargazing conference this time, it was mainly to broaden his horizons and accumulate experience, which is also a very remarkable thing.
At least with this experience of climbing the stairs, when he comes back next time, he will definitely achieve excellent results.
It's not impossible to even reach the top 10 of the Qingxiao list in one fell swoop!
Speaking of this Qingxiao list, it can also be regarded as one of the motivations for the stargazing powerhouses in various states to come to participate in the stargazing conference, after all, according to the convention, the day of the end of each stargazing conference is the time when the Qingxiao list is changed.
However, what is interesting is that this Qingxiao list was not promulgated by the Liang royal family, nor did it come from the hand of the Star Palace, but from a place called the Tianji Palace.
What's even more interesting is that this Heavenly Machine Hall is not affiliated with the Great Liang Empire.
Or to be more precise, in today's Starfall Continent's three-way pattern of the Great Liang, Great Tang, and Great Yan, the Heavenly Machine Hall is one of the few completely independent cultivation forces that is not restricted by any party.
There are two other places where something like this exists.
Qiuming Temple.
and Qishan.
Let's go back to this Heavenly Machine Palace, although the disciples in the hall have rarely entered the mortal world, they seem to have mastered some kind of secret method of directly communicating with the starry sky, which can deduce the fortune of the avenue of all cultivators in the world, and even know the cultivation, potential, and characteristics of each cultivator.
It is rumored that the master of the Heavenly Machine Hall is a mysterious cultivator, and it seems that he has touched the scenery behind the stars many years ago.
Therefore, there is a lot of awe in the world for the Tianji Palace, and for the three lists of Qingxiao, Jinchen, and Tianji issued by the Tianji Palace, they are even more convinced.
Among the three lists of Qingxiao, Jinchen and Tianji, there is no doubt that the Tianji list is the most mysterious and unpredictable, and there are very few people who can see it, and the ones recorded above are undoubtedly the most powerful cultivators in the entire Starfall Continent today.
For example, Yang Tianxiao, the Emperor of Danding, such as Su Youming, the master of the Star Palace, and then the current Empress of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiurong.
Or the infamous Pavilion Master of Kui Xing Pavilion, Ling Cao.
The Qingxiao List and the Jinchen List are not divided by cultivation, but they correspond to different age grades.
Among them, the people on the Qingxiao list are all young people under the age of 40.
As for the Jinchen List, it is specifically ranked for cultivators between the ages of forty and one hundred.
And more importantly, these two lists are not sorted by the level of cultivation, but by a complex algorithm created by the Heavenly Machine Palace, and then considering such seemingly ethereal things as luck and prestige, and finally arrive at a comprehensive ranking.
One of the most famous examples is a certain unknown star gathering powerhouse from the Tang Kingdom.
Although this person's cultivation is not high, he has barely broken through the first realm of gathering stars, but he is a natural adventurer, keen to find all kinds of treasures, monuments, and caves.
And many of the guys ranked behind him are all ruthless characters who can slap them to death!
However, later in an accident, the loose cultivator named Tang Jiu was besieged and killed by several Star Gathering Realm powerhouses, among which there were also many masters in the top 20 of the Qingxiao List, but the final result was that Tang Jiu single-handedly defeated several enemies, and finally broke through with a broken sword and escaped.
And those Star Gathering Realm powerhouses who besieged him paid a heavy price of three deaths and seven injuries!
After this battle, the world has no doubts about the Qingxiao List, and they are even more impressed by the Tianji Palace, and they all sigh at the Tianji Incident, which is really very human can investigate.
For Ling Jianzong, it is even more thanks to the existence of the Qingxiao List that Liao Tan can become famous and deter Tang Yan.
As everyone knows, there is only one copy of the Tianji List and the Jinchen List, but the Qingxiao List is one for one country.
But even so, it is already a very remarkable thing that Liao Tan can be ranked among the flowers of the Liang Qingxiao List.
Especially considering that he was born in such a "small sect" as Ling Jian Sect.
However, after Qin Weiyang's explanation, Luo Chuan understood that after this stargazing conference, it was unlikely that Liao Tan would want to go one step further and take Zuo Lingyue's place.
"Forget it, since that's the case, then let's not worry about it here, by the way, before I came, I had already heard Elder Taishang say that the assessment content of the first sixty-nine floors of the Stargazing Tower, so what is the test of the last thirty floors?"
Hearing this, Qin Weiyang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know." ”
"Huh?" Luo Chuan was stunned: "Qin Shouzun didn't tell you about this beforehand?"
Qin Weiyang shook his head: "In fact, the content of the examination on each floor of the Stargazing Building has always been top secret, and only those who have personally participated in the stargazing conference know it, for example, the reason why our Ling Jian Sect can know the assessment content of the first sixty-nine layers is actually relying on the information obtained by Senior Brother Liao." ”
Luo Chuan's eyes widened in surprise, and then he finally figured out something.
For example, when he was in the Moon Shadow Secret Realm, Bai Yu offered to owe him a favor in order to obtain the white jade Zhengui from Yuan Xiaohua, and that favor was only four words, which was the Moon Shadow Secret Realm.
Now that I think about it, Bai Yu's real meaning is to share the information of the Bai family's ascent to the Yuan family when the stargazing conference opens!
Of course, to this day, I am afraid that this favor will not be repaid.
Because the Yuan family has been destroyed, and the Bai family has fled into the Great Yan Empire.
But Luo Chuan was still unwilling.
"But, after all, Qin Shouzun was born in the Star Palace, doesn't even he know?"
Qin Weiyang spread his hands helplessly: "The top secret I mentioned before is not only for the various sects and families, but also for the Star Palace. Although my father is now promoted to the first lord of Qingzhou, and he also belongs to the Holy Star Division, he is not the master of the division after all. ”
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment quietly crossed Luo Chuan's eyes, but at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped leisurely, and the front curtain was lifted, revealing Xie Changjing's somewhat flattering smile.
"Senior brother, there is Huacheng in front. ”
Luo Chuan nodded, then looked at Xie Changjing's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and secretly frowned: "What's wrong?"
Xie Changjing held the reins with one hand, scratched the back of his head with the other, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that someone wants to ask to see Senior Brother." ”
"Oh?" Luo Chuan asked with some surprise, "Is it from our Qingzhou or from other states?"
"It's our people from Qingzhou. ”
"Could it be that the Yang family is from the Yang family again?"
Most of the powerhouses of the Gathering Star Realm who came to participate in the stargazing conference on behalf of Qingzhou this time Luo Chuan knew him, but since he set off from Xiaoqi Mountain, he has been hiding in this carriage and has never shown up, and people from the Yang family and the Ning family also came to ask to see him halfway, but he didn't allow it.
So at this time, when he heard Xie Changjing say that he was from Qingzhou and wanted to see him, Luo Chuan's first reaction was that the Yang family was here again.
Unexpectedly, Xie Changjing quickly gave an answer that made people think about it.
"It is true that there is the Yang family, but it is not only the Yang family, the Tianyuan Gate, the Blood Hell Valley, the Xia family, the Nangong family, the Ning family, and the other two scattered cultivators of the Gathering Star Realm are here!"
Luo Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "What are they all doing here?"
Qin Weiyang on the side covered his mouth and smiled lightly: "Sure enough, they are all old foxes......
