957 Natural Leadership
Tianlan Secret Realm, a small space of the secret realm that has been born since ancient times, is usually closed.
In the long years of exploration, a large number of ruins have been found in it, and there are countless opportunities.
Some people once speculated that this small space was most likely a portable space left by a certain powerhouse.
It's like Xiao Zhan's internal space, if Xiao Zhan dies, his internal space will also turn into a secret realm and exist somewhere.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan was still very interested in this Tianlan Secret Realm.
About two days later, the flying boat heard a huge plain.
At this time, the plain was already scattered, and many giant flying boats were hanging the flags of various sects.
The disciples of each sect are also following the elders of their respective sects, and they are seizing the time to adjust their state.
At the end of the plain, you can see two huge mountain ranges running east-west, with no peaks.
The mountain range is in the middle, with a gap about 100 meters wide.
While controlling the flying boat to land steadily, Qin Yunzhong pointed to the gap and looked at Xiao Zhandao:
"That's the entrance to the Tianlan Secret Realm."
"Normally, no one can enter at all, because at the entrance, there is a very powerful formation, and once the formation powerhouses of our various sects tried to crack this formation, but in the end they returned in vain."
"If you want to enter the secret realm, you can only wait for the entrance to the secret realm to open."
Xiao Zhan nodded and didn't ask any questions.
Qin Yunzhong looked at the other disciples again and ordered:
"While the competition has not started yet, you should quickly adjust your state, and you must go all out when the time comes, this competition, but whether it is life or death!"
"If you win, you can enter the secret realm to compete for opportunities, and if you lose...... I won't say more, just know what you know."
After speaking, Qin Yunzhong's figure flashed and flew towards a black stone building thousands of meters away.
It was the only building in the area, and it was used for the heads of the various sects to discuss things together.
Of course, if the sect is too weak, it will not dare to participate in this competition, and naturally it will not be qualified to enter this stone house.
Xiao Zhan glanced at the stone house, finally withdrew his gaze, sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Qiu Ya and Qiu Ling also sat down beside Xiao Zhan.
Qiu Ya was quieter, and Qiu Ling asked with curiosity:
"Master, hasn't the Heavenly Mandate Tower already recognized you as Lord? Why don't you bring the Mandate Tower with you?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head:
"If we bring the Tower of Destiny, we'll definitely die."
That's right, the Heavenly Mandate Pagoda is the treasure of the Heavenly Mandate Sect.
Normally, the Heavenly Mandate Pagoda is placed in the hinterland of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, protected by the Great Array of Protectors, and there are still a large number of elders and disciples in the sect, and other sects dare not do anything.
But if the Mandate of Heaven Tower is brought here, the others will definitely attack it in groups, taking advantage of this great opportunity to take control of the Mandate Tower in their own hands.
Qiu Ling understood Xiao Zhan's words, and immediately stopped saying anything, and began to enter cultivation.
Little by little, time passed.
There are constantly flying boats arriving here with more people, and there are also strong people flying to the black stone house.
The elders who came with the team watched their surroundings with great vigilance from the beginning.
The purpose of their coming this time was to protect this group of disciples, after all, being able to be selected meant that these thousand people were the most potential disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect.
It is not unheard of in the past that other sects have quietly assassinated disciples of other sects.
After all, destroying these young geniuses is tantamount to killing the future of a sect.
Of course, these are things that are done behind the scenes.
In this area, some of the top forces seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they all have their own ghosts and deceive themselves.
These elders of the Heavenly Mandate Sect did not dare to relax their vigilance.
In fact, other sects
The elders who came with him were also very vigilant, and the various forces were not close to each other, and unless they had a good relationship, they would talk and socialize.
After another half a day, Xiao Zhan saw that many people, including Qin Yunzhong, had walked out of the black stone house.
He knew that the competition was about to begin.
Sure enough, I saw that after these people returned to their respective teams, those disciples who participated in the competition got up one after another and gathered towards the center.
Soon, a large circle with a diameter of more than 10,000 meters was enclosed at the scene.
All the sects, the disciples who needed to take the written test, walked towards the big circle one after another.
The disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect also walked towards the field under Qin Yunzhong's signal.
Xiao Zhan walked in the middle of the team with Qiu Ya and Qiu Ling, looking unremarkable and not attracting anyone's attention.
In fact, Xiao Zhan felt a little funny in his heart.
He, an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, actually wants to compete with these young people.
It's not that there is a big gap in strength, the main thing is that it feels weird.
He was tired of fighting.
But in this situation, he can't help it.
The first competition was a big scuffle, and the heads of each sect had already talked about the rules before, so everyone was very nervous at this time.
Like the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, as well as the disciples of other major sects, their expressions were a little more relaxed, after all, they were confident in their own strength and heritage.
As for the disciples of those small sects, their faces were solemn and inevitably nervous.
With the ringing of a bell, it represents the official beginning of this big melee.
There were almost no surprises, and all the disciples of the big sects attacked the disciples of those small sects.
The disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect were no exception.
Qiu Ya and Qiu Ling looked at Xiao Zhan, and seeing that Xiao Zhan didn't move, they also stopped and stood beside Xiao Zhan without moving.
On the sidelines, the elders of the Heavenly Mandate Sect and the sect leader Qin Yunzhong all frowned.
Suddenly, several people besieged a disciple of the Heavenly Mandate Sect.
Xiao Zhan gave a look, and Qiu Ya and Qiu Ling immediately rushed forward.
Then Xiao Zhan's figure flashed and rushed in another direction.
Whenever the lives of the disciples of the Heavenly Destiny Sect were in danger, Xiao Zhan would arrive in time to resolve the crisis.
Seeing this scene, the elders of the Heavenly Mandate Sect all laughed with relief.
Not only that, Xiao Zhan glanced at the situation on the field and began to gather the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect.
To be honest, in this situation, it is not advantageous to strike first.
Let the disciples of other sects fight first, and the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect preserve their strength first, this is the wisest choice.
The disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect were gathered around Xiao Zhan and began to adjust their state to prepare for the more intense battle that followed.
When people from other sects saw this scene, they also followed suit.
But the Heavenly Mandate Sect has already taken the lead, and not a single disciple has died at present.
And the other sects are more or less damaged.
Soon, the disciples of those small sects, except for the disciples with excellent strength, the others were either killed on the spot, or they were seriously injured and exited.
Of the more than 100,000 people, there are now less than 50,000 left.
These 50,000 people are competing for 10,000 places, which shows how fierce the battle will be.
There was a brief calm on the field, but the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Especially those disciples of the sect who were at the top of the strength, their faces became extremely solemn.
If the battle just now was relatively easy, then the next battle is likely to cause them heavy casualties.
Seeing that many people rushed over, the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect also raised their weapons and rushed forward.
Qiu Ya and Qiu Ling looked at Xiao Zhan, and when they saw Xiao Zhan nodding, the two exhaled a breath of turbid air and began to take the initiative to attack.
Xiao Zhan still didn't rush to make a move, but stood in the crowd,
Observe the situation on the field.
Whenever someone rushed to Xiao Zhan's side and wanted to attack Xiao Zhan, Qiu Ya and Qiu Ling would stop him as soon as possible.
There were really times when the two of them couldn't take care of it, and Xiao Zhan could also knock the enemy back with a wave of his hand.
In this way, Xiao Zhan naturally attracted the attention of more people.
On the sidelines, the elders and sect masters of other sects also discovered this situation, and their eyes flashed with strange emotions.
After all, Xiao Zhan's performance was too amazing, and on the field, there were almost no disciples who could match Xiao Zhan.
Although there are many disciples on the field, they are also at the peak of the Heaven Realm, and they are in the same realm as Xiao Zhan.
But when they faced Xiao Zhan, they were powerless to parry.
This is still the situation where Xiao Zhan deliberately kept his hand.
If Xiao Zhan made a move with all his might, these disciples of the same realm were afraid that they would die if they only looked at each other.
The fighting on the field became more and more intense, and the casualties became more and more heavy.
Suddenly, more than a dozen powerful auras quickly approached Xiao Zhan.
These dozen people, like Xiao Zhan, are all at the peak of the Heaven Asking Realm, and they are also the highest realm that this secret realm is allowed to enter.
Obviously, they have reached a tacit agreement to exclude Xiao Zhan.
Seeing this scene, the elders of the Heavenly Mandate Sect all frowned, and there was some worry in their eyes.
But in the next moment, they saw that the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect quickly retreated, forming a protective circle around Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan nodded, so that he didn't have to continue to do it.
Seeing that there was no way to get close to Xiao Zhan, these people glanced at each other, quickly retreated, and attacked the others.
As time passed, more and more people died and were injured.
By the end, there were only 10,000 people left on the field.
As for the Heavenly Mandate Sect, there were more than 500 people who stayed to the end.
However, unlike previous years' competitions, this year, not a single disciple of the Heavenly Mandate Sect was sacrificed.
Because Xiao Zhan told them that they came here to compete for chance, and there was no need to send them to death.
Therefore, if anyone can't hold on, they will withdraw as soon as possible, which can be regarded as giving up this opportunity, but at least saving their lives.
In fact, no one wants to die.
Those who died wanted to retreat, but the people on the field would not give them a chance, they just came to kill them.
After all, being able to kill some geniuses of other sects under this opportunity can reduce the strength of other sects in disguise.
Moreover, there will be no accountability for such behavior.
Originally, the competition was going to be conducted in three rounds.
I don't know what those sect masters discussed, so they directly canceled the last two rounds, and directly used the big melee to decide the 10,000 people who entered the secret realm.
Although the Heavenly Mandate Sect only had more than 500 people left to the end, it was already the sect with the largest number of people on the scene.
The elders of the Heavenly Mandate Sect all laughed.
Even if the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect can't get enough opportunities in the secret realm, they are already the biggest winners.
An elder looked at Xiao Zhan's back and said with emotion:
"Xiao Zhan, he has a natural leadership temperament."
The other elders nodded.
As for the other disciples, they also roughly understood why the sect master always felt like he was talking to someone of the same generation when he was talking to Xiao Zhan.
In fact, Qin Yunzhong had already guessed that Xiao Zhan was from other third-level worlds.
And if a person from a third-level world wants to come here, his strength must have stood at the pinnacle of that world.
Strength aside, Qin Yunzhong knew very well that if he put himself in Xiao Zhan's living environment, he would definitely not be able to reach the level of child praise.
So he admired Xiao Zhan in his heart.
