Chapter 9: The Prince of the Crane Tail

Entering the hall, Dugu 13 and Zhou Xian were not at all like the first time they met, the two of them "admired for a long time, and fortunately met for a long time" for a small half a moment, and then entered the theme. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's not a secret, Senior Brother Dugu, if you come early or late, it is not difficult to enter the royal worship tower, although I am not a favored prince, but as long as I don't go to the back five floors of the underground, I can do it, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do these days!"

Zhou Xian was quite embarrassed, he originally received a letter from Dongfang Ming, and a junior brother came to help him, this is something that cannot be sought, Da Zhou, as the first dynasty that has ruled the Yunzhou Continent for thousands of years, the competition for the throne is extremely fierce, and it is often not his own strength or ability to govern the country that can be elected as the prince, more often, it depends on the person standing behind him. The Loose is undoubtedly a powerful booster.

Today's Zhou Emperor is the realm of the Congenital Eightfold Heaven, with two hundred and twenty years of longevity, but he is already two hundred years old, and at this age he has not broken through to the realm of the Innate Ninefold and Human Immortals, and his life can only be like this, with twenty years of longevity left, the only thing for the Emperor of Zhou today to do is to choose a successor who can continue to lead the Zhou family to sit firmly in the dynasty, or even go further.

And Zhou Xian is obviously not on the inspection list, not because he is too bad, but because he was born too late, and his mother was also born in a small family, which together leads to his current depression.

Emperor Zhou has a total of seventeen sons, except for the last five who are too young to participate in the competition for the throne according to the ancestral law of the Zhou family, there are a total of twelve who meet the age, and with the eight princes as the dividing line, the first seven princes are now over sixty years old, and they can officially cultivate their own power by opening their own mansions.

The eighth prince Zhou Xian is now fifty-six years old, and there are still four years left to open the mansion, and the remaining four younger brothers are also over forty-five years old, and they will all have the qualifications to open the mansion within twenty years, but there is not much time left, and the chances of winning are very small.

Zhou Xian's mother, Zhang Lan, is the daughter of the Zhang family of the Sanjiang City clan of Lianghu Dao, but this so-called Sanjiang City clan is too far behind the other seven elder brothers.

The mother of the eldest prince, Zhou Hao, is Zhao Feiying, the head of the march of the Suzaku Army of Liangguang Province and the daughter of Zhao Guangzhong, a master of the congenital Nine Heavens.

The mother of the second prince Zhou Rong is the current queen Cui Zhaohuan, who was born in the Cui family of Jiangnan Province, one of the top ten families in the world, and Cui Shouye, the left minister of the dynasty, is the second uncle of the queen.

The mother of the third prince, Zhou Shi, was the head of the march of the White Tiger Army in Shannan Province, and the niece of Yan Chihu, who was also born with nine heavens.

The mother of the fourth prince, Zhou Zheng, was born in the Pure Yang Sect, one of the five sects of the Dao Sect, and was the daughter of the elders of the Pure Yang Sect.

The mother of the fifth prince Zhou Chi is one of the seven kings in the world, the daughter of Gu Tianshu, the deputy hall master of Junzi Hall.

The mother of the sixth prince, Zhou Wei, is one of the seven kings in the world, the daughter of Ximen Feixing, the deputy owner of Feixue Mountain Villa.

The mother of the seventh prince Zhou Ce is one of the top ten families in the world, the second daughter of Song Shixin, the head of the Song family in Hebei Province, and Song Shixin's third brother Song Shili is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty.

The first seven princes each came from a huge background, and they met with Dugu Thirteen earlier, and it was the eldest prince Zhou Hao who came to recruit Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian felt that he had no chance to compete for the throne, but by chance, he had an intersection with Dongfang Ming, the third disciple of the Xiaoyao faction, and this time Dongfang Ming's junior brother Dugu Thirteen asked for himself, which can be described as a godsend, but unfortunately, this time is the time when the Luoyang Ring Tournament is held every five years in the Great Zhou.

The nature of the Luoyang Ring Tournament in the Great Zhou is similar to that of the martial arts competition, no matter whether you win or lose in the ring, as long as you have potential, you will have the opportunity to be co-opted by various forces in the Great Zhou.

And the top 20 powerhouses will be rewarded by Emperor Zhou to varying degrees, and one of the rewards is that the top 20 have it, that is, to enter the royal worship tower to practice for a whole month.

The royal worship tower is not only the easiest place in the world to feel the earth spirit in addition to the Dharma Cave, but also in the tower according to the number of layers, there will be different strong people in the Great Zhou Dynasty left in the tower of the martial arts will stone tablet, as long as there is a fate, on these stone tablets, you will also get part or all of these strong inheritance.

On weekdays, this enshrinement tower can only be entered and exited at any time by members of the royal family and the special status of the Great Zhou Worship Hall, and the rest of the people, no matter what their status, need to have a member of the royal family or the worship hall to enshrine as a guarantee, and each member of the royal family and the worship hall can only enter the cultivation for a month, and each member of the royal family and the worship only have three guarantees per year.

There are a total of fourteen floors above and below the ground of the Royal Offering Tower, the lowest floor can only accommodate one person, the penultimate layer can accommodate two people, and so on, the entire Royal Offering Tower can only accommodate fifty-six people at the same time, and cultivation resources are very scarce.

Zhou Xian gave Dugu 13 a general description of the situation in the Luoyang Ring Competition, and Dugu 13 was puzzled: "Fifty-six positions, only the top 20 get places, isn't there still thirty-six? I don't want more places at the lower level, as long as there are places!"

Zhou Xian smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Dugu doesn't know, after the Luoyang Ring Tournament is over, these twenty people will enter the tower at the same time according to their ranking, but the bottom three floors of the tower are never open to the public, and we princes are not qualified. ”

"As for the remaining thirty places, most of my seven good brothers and the forces behind them will give their own recommended places to the masters they recruited in this ring competition, so as to win people's hearts, I am alone and can't compete with them. ”

Dugu Thirteen nodded after listening, and finally understood, this eighth prince Zhou Xian is a crane tail, his father is not in pain, his mother's family is unreliable, and the seven brothers in front of him can each hang his existence.

Dugu Thirteen thought for a while, if he went to the Hanshan faction first now, and then turned back at the end, it seemed too much time, at least two or three months, his time was relatively tight, and he didn't know what would happen next time, so he asked: "What level is this Luoyang Ring Competition? If it's not high, I'll go up and try to compete for the top twenty!"

Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, he could still see the realm of Dugu Thirteen, it was a little lower than himself, it was the peak of the acquired martial arts, which was not strong in any force, the people in the Luoyang Ring Tournament were all loose cultivators, or small sects, and wanted to find the big tree of Da Zhou to enjoy the shade, but this does not mean that the strength of these people is weak, there is now a congenital nine heavens in the Great Zhou Royal Worship Hall, and the two congenital seven heavens were selected by the Luoyang Ring Tournament that year.

Although there are many big families in the world, it is impossible to recruit all the talents in the world, there are always those who slip through the net, and the purpose of the Luoyang Ring Competition itself is to recruit these fish who have slipped through the net.

"Senior Brother Dugu, most of the people who participate should be the peak of the acquired martial arts, but the innate realm will definitely not be less, but generally speaking, they will be below the congenital quadruple heaven, and the strength will reach the master of the congenital quadruple heaven, it is still very easy to go to the world's seven Qing, the demon nine realms, and the ten major families, and they will not come to participate in the Luoyang Ring Competition. But despite this, I'm still not optimistic that Senior Brother Dugu can enter the top 20!"

Dugu Thirteen was stunned, although it was said that the imperial court recruited people, but in the final analysis, Da Zhou was still based on the Zhou family, in other words, this Luoyang Ring Competition was actually the Zhou family, one of his top ten families, to recruit talents, I didn't expect that there would be a master of the congenital triple heaven to participate in the self-surrender identity, this is not easy to do!

Dugu Thirteen stubbornly asked, "How many days does this ring match start?"

"Five days!"

"Five days! Help me sign up, and then help me find a place to retreat, I'm in a hurry, I can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor!" Dugu Thirteen gritted his teeth, no matter how much time, it is impossible for him to break through in the realm, because he has no comprehension spirit, and he can't break through the innate nature, but with Jiuyang Divine Skill, he may be able to integrate the non-mental part of Dugu Nine Swords, and in this way, he may be able to break through the power with wonder and skill! Isn't Dugu Nine Swords itself known as cracking all the moves in the world?
