The Heavenly Burial Secret Realm, this sacred place where the dragon clan once lived, not only has the oldest inheritance, but also gave the continent a new life.

According to legend, Tuoba Wuji slaughtered the nine most powerful dragons in the history of the dragon clan, causing their flesh and blood to turn into mountains and rivers, and dragon qi to condense into dragon veins, and finally stabilize the continent that was about to fall apart.

Therefore, in a certain aspect, the status of the Heavenly Burial Secret Realm in the Jiuchuan Continent is not only a blessed place for cultivators to explore and hunt for treasures, but also a holy place that has saved the continent in people's minds.

……

In the dense primeval forest, the eldest grandson and the Pingchuan shuttle among the giant trees.

Hirakawa looked at the small fortune on the eldest grandson's shoulder, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Just this little guy, can you lead us to the dragon qi?"

Xiaocai gave Pingchuan a big wink, which was in response to his uninformed questioning.

The eldest grandson didn't explain much.

Seeing is believing is more powerful than pale explanations.

Seeing that neither of them responded to him, Hirakawa had to shut his mouth and hurry.

Xiaocai did not make Pingchuan wait long, and under Xiaocai's command, the two soon found a cave on the mountainside of a mountain peak.

Compared to the towering mountains in the secret territory, this mountain peak can only be regarded as a "dwarf stone mountain", and the two of them have nothing to gain in the cave except for harvesting an arm-sized dragon qi.

The eldest grandson reached a consensus with Pingchuan before leaving, and the two of them were four or six points after capturing the dragon qi, the eldest grandson was six, and Pingchuan was four. In case of special circumstances, it is a different matter.

Because the capture of dragon qi mainly relies on small fortunes, Pingchuan readily agreed to the plan of "four or six points".

This surprised the eldest grandson.

It seems that Hirakawa is not here for the final championship......

The eldest grandson kept this thought in his heart.

On the other hand, after Pingchuan saw the magic of Xiaocai, he was full of praise for Xiaocai.

"It turns out that this is the dragon qi ......"

Hirakawa spread his hands, and a dragon-shaped phantom slightly thinner than his forearm hovered in the air, and finally burrowed into Hirakawa's palm and disappeared.

Hirakawa hurriedly closed his eyes to feel it, but after a while, he opened his eyes with a pout.

"I don't feel like anything has changed......"

Xiaocai sneered and said: "Stinky boy, this dragon qi belongs to the luck of heaven and earth, and it is not aura, you naturally can't feel it when you absorb it......"

Hirakawa was a little disappointed.

"Ah...... Then how do I know if this dragon qi has been absorbed or dissipated by me......"

Hearing this, Xiaocai quietly held his head high.

"You definitely can't, but that doesn't mean I can't."

Seeing Xiaocai's appearance of "pointing out the country", Pingchuan immediately understood.

And with Xiaocai's previous miraculous performance of accurately searching for dragon qi, Pingchuan naturally believed that Xiaocai was not bragging.

"It is worthy of being a godsend, this talent is not only a 'godsend', it has reached the point of 'people and gods are angry', it is powerful......"

The eldest grandson frowned, he didn't expect that the awe-inspiring "Walking in the World" would have such a face.

Under Xiaocai's touting, he immediately felt that this Pingchuan was a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"Let's hurry up, first take away all the dragon qi of those nameless mountain ranges, and then go to those famous mountains and rivers, and then let's give them a 'praying mantis catches cicadas, and yellow finches are behind'!"

Hirakawa is full of fighting spirit.

The two of them quickened their pace, although those nameless mountain ranges could only capture scattered small dragon qi, but fortunately, most of these mountain ranges were not high, and they did not occupy a large area, so they were much faster to find.

There is no night in the secret realm of heavenly burial, and at first the two of them can still distinguish time by memory, but soon they also lose the concept of day and night.

The two of them simply loaded their clockwork strips and were full of energy, and they quickly swept away the dragon qi in the outer area.

At that moment, a vision suddenly appeared in the sky.

Everyone in the secret realm stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

"Look, there's a situation......"

"Finally the mission? Lao Tzu is almost idle in this secret realm......"

I saw a huge list suddenly appear in the sky, on which the rankings of the players were recorded.

"What's that? It's a leaderboard......"

The players were a little disappointed.

But soon, someone found out the clue.

"No, the mission hasn't been released yet, how can the rankings on this list jump so often?"

He is still okay with the long-established players in the rankings who are far ahead of him.

But at this time, the task has not yet been released, shouldn't everyone have nothing to do like themselves?

Even if there is the support of the audience outside the stadium in this final, the ranking of the players should not change so frequently at this time.

……

The eldest grandson was also staring at the leaderboard in the sky at this time, but the difference was that his focus was not on the names that frequently jumped up and down.

"The first place is really Tang Shiping, the crown prince of the royal family."

The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the proud son of heaven who was born with the great fortune of heaven and earth, is in the first place without dispute.

The second place is the "star-level" player in the minds of the people of the imperial capital, Wu Qing.

As the host, the royal family and the Imperial Capital Mansion players unsurprisingly swept the top five, and the subsequent list was divided by the major forces, and there were almost no dark horses.

And the dark horse players outside this "almost" are Changsun and Pingchuan.

After all, Pingchuan is walking in the world, although there is no audience base in the Kyushu continent, but the strength and talent are there, and it must be the existence favored by heaven and earth, so it is ranked 10th.

The appearance of the eldest grandson in the 20th position was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Since it can still be ranked 20th......"

The eldest grandson touched the mask on his face, and there was a hint of surprise in his heart.

In his mind, if he didn't announce his identity, he couldn't borrow the momentum of Qingteng, so his audience base must be weak.

Xiaocai patted the back of the eldest grandson's head and said, "If your simple mask can cover the luck on your body, then this luck is not to mention the mystery of heaven and earth!" ”

The eldest grandson nodded suddenly, it was indeed his own ignorance.

"Do you still feel like an atmospheric carrier?" Xiaocai said mockingly.

The eldest grandson blushed a little.

Xiaocai: This is a person who feels like a person of deep luck before laughing at the eldest grandson.

On the other side, Pingchuan was so angry that he jumped to his feet after seeing the list.

"This Imperial Capital Mansion is too shameless!"

"Now that the rankings are announced, no matter how dull people are, they can see that there is a clue in this, and this opportunity for the two of us is gone!"

The fact that the rankings change so frequently only proves that those people have a way to seize their luck, and perhaps they don't know about the existence of dragon qi yet.

But as long as they take action, it won't be long before they discover the secret of the dragon qi in the secret realm.

……

The eldest grandson nodded.

As Hirakawa said, the opportunity has been lost. At this time, if you still follow the previous strategy to capture the dragon qi, you will enter the inferior position.

"Let's go directly to those famous mountains and rivers!"

The eldest grandson spoke.

Hirakawa immediately understood.

The two of them no longer hesitated, and headed towards several high mountains in the central area of the secret realm.

At this moment, the secret realm is really lively, and the dragon qi competition has officially begun.

In order to achieve the ultimate victory, dragon qi becomes the only goal.

And for this goal, the players gradually lost their minds, and the irregular battles fueled the madness in the hearts of the players.

Under such a live broadcast, the talented players who are regarded by ordinary people as immortals have gradually shown the despicable side of human nature.

"This Bian Mo sect is also too shameless, for the sake of dragon energy, he shamelessly beat that player!"

"Excuse me, you should still be in the ivory tower of the academy? What else is there to talk about? Only failure is shameful, and the winner can win cheers! ”

Due to the ingenious live broadcast form of the Imperial Capital Mansion and the rules of the competition with a great degree of freedom, this pinnacle battle between geniuses is no longer limited to the competition of the strength of the players, but has evolved into a cultural and even moral collision between forces and regions.

The strength shown by the players in the secret territory is enough to impress the audience, and the audience can only look up to it in this regard.

But during this period, the contestants also showed the hatred, stupidity, greed, and resentment of human nature, and finally had the opportunity for ordinary people to see the human entanglements in these "high" geniuses.

……

Imperial Capital Mansion, Star Tower.

The three-storey building was used throughout the building for the New Era Cup to count, aggregate, and make decisions on all matters related to the game, including not only the collection and screening of information, but also the making of real-time decisions based on real-time information.

Therefore, it is tentatively called the "Coordination Department".

Although vacating a building for the Coordination Department has been regarded by the school as giving the greatest attention, only the busy teachers and students in the building know about the congestion in the building.

It's not uncommon for toes to be touched and scrolls accidentally knocked over.

Even the most official information agency for the tournament, which is regarded as the most official information agency of the tournament by the whole continent, is only a small department in this building, occupying only a small office.

On the roof of this small third floor, a temporary office with a large area was set up.

Although the office is improvised, it is clear that the furnishings and displays in the room have been put into it.

However, the rooftop office that can enjoy a distinguished position in this top-ching building with every inch of land is expensive, but it belongs to only one person.

He is Liu Jun, who is known as the "Minister Liu" of the Coordination Department.

"Bell...... Bell ......"

Li Rong stood in front of the door of the office on the top of the building to tidy up her clothes for a while, and then knocked on the door.

After a slightly lighter "bell", Li Rong deliberately paused for a moment, and then sounded the second "bell" with a little more force.

Although the people in the whole building were in a state of madness and busyness, everyone knew that when they went to the roof to report to work, they should first tidy up their manners, and knock on the door gently and in a proper manner.

At the same time, there is an unwritten rule that you only knock twice on the door of Minister Liu's office, and three knocks indicate an emergency.

The complexity of the rules even made Li Rong, who had just arrived at the Star Picking Tower, think that the Coordination Department was just a temporary institution of pedantic bureaucrats.

After all, Li Rong was considered by the Imperial Capital Mansion to be the most promising young elder to become a deacon of the top cabinet.

What is the Pavilion?

There are only twelve seats in the top pavilion, and these twelve people may not be the strongest existence in the palace, but they are definitely the most powerful in the imperial capital.

To be precise, it holds the highest decision-making power on major matters in the imperial capital.

Therefore, if you have strength in the Imperial Capital Mansion, you may not be the one with real power, but if you enter the top cabinet, you are definitely the one who holds the power.

The deacons are the closest to the circle of power, and are also considered candidates for the 12 seats in the Cabinet.

Li Rong has such an identity and strength, and naturally has the qualifications to be proud of the Coordination Department, after all, this is only a temporary organization, and most of its members are disciples in the house, and even this Minister Liu is just a disciple who has not yet been released.

At first, Li Rong was sent to the coordination department, and she had ideas in her heart.

Anyone who is considered to be a star of the future, but in the end, he will have a lot of resentment in his heart when he ends up laying a hand on a "child".

But with the unfolding of the New Era Cup, going through the preliminary stage, and now the beginning of the finals, the trace of resentment in Li Rong's heart has long disappeared.

And then dissipated the arrogance in my heart.

Li Rong raised her hand to pull the scattered hair past her ears, put away the many distracting thoughts in her heart, and waited for Minister Liu in the room to summon her.

Not long after, a warm voice sounded.

"Please come in."

Li Rong held the scroll and walked into Minister Liu's office.

"Minister Liu, this is the feedback information of the event compiled by the special line of the Cup."

Compared with the cumbersome rules for entering the door, the people who pick up the star building often report to Minister Liu in a concise and straightforward manner.

Behind the table was Liu Jun.

This young man, who is respected from the bottom of the heart by the whole building, is not as arrogant and complacent as expected, nor is he impersonal and cold-blooded who is limited to the efficient operation of the system, but is as elegant as a scholar.

Liu Jun got up and returned the salute to Li Rong simply, and the sense of proportion that conformed to the etiquette made Li Rong feel comfortable and not stiff.

Liu Jun took the scroll handed over by Li Rong and glanced at ten lines.

"In general, the novel live broadcast method of this year's finals is still the biggest highlight at present, and through the feedback of our information personnel from outside the state, this competition will be the one that has attracted the most attention since the establishment of the New Era Cup, that is, the first one!"

Even Li Rong inevitably had emotional ups and downs when she said this.

However, Liu Jun didn't feel anything about this, looking at the scroll in his hand with a calm face, there was neither unconcealed excitement nor pretended calmness, as if this matter was not from him.

But Li Rong, as the second-in-command of the coordination department, knows very well that the grand occasion of this year's New Era Cup is from the young scholar in front of him.
