Chapter 858: Selecting the Saints

Everyone was talking about the Dragon Emperor, and they were all extremely worried, but they didn't expect to be afraid of something.

In the early morning of the next day, the golden light above the high sky, the fairy music sounded, the cranes flew, and many fairies who captivated the country and the city held various musical instruments to open the way, and drove to Qingluo City in a mighty way.

This group of immortals was enveloped in golden light, sacred and extraordinary, and the pomp was also earth-shattering, with a total of nine hundred and ninety fairies standing in two rows, and a nine-headed divine dragon pulling a carriage in the middle.

"Heavenly Holy Lord, traveling the world, coming to Qingluo Lake today, the person in charge has not come out quickly to greet you. ”

In front of the carriage, a burly and tall middle-aged man stood respectfully, and when this group of immortals stopped in the sky above Qingluo City, his majestic voice also sounded in due time, spreading to every corner of Qingluo City.

When this mighty voice was still echoing in the sky, Emperor Taishi had already noticed it, and he had already taken his eight disciples to soar to the sky and come to the Nine Dragons Divine Rim to greet him.

"Emperor Taishi, the city lord of Qingluo Lake, welcome the arrival of the Heavenly Holy Lord!"

Emperor Taishi took eight disciples and stood respectfully in the air, bending down to worship the Nine Dragons Divine Rim, with an attitude that could not be described as disrespectful. Even if they knew that it was the Dragon Emperor who was sitting in the Nine Dragons Divine Circle, and he was the enemy of the Xuanhuang World Realm, but in this situation, they had to treat him respectfully, and the complexity of everyone's mood could be imagined.

Then, the golden light in the Nine Dragons Divine Circle bloomed, and a burly and heroic figure walked out. This is a great man who reigns over the world and looks at the world, eight feet tall, heroic and extraordinary, with a hazy golden light behind him, this is the former Dragon Emperor, and now the sky.

"Taishi, this seat adheres to the will of the Great Dao, and orders you to recuperate in Qingluo City, and from now on, select the best ten immortals every year and send them to the Heavenly Saint Palace to participate in the ceremony of selecting saints. ”

"There must be no mistake in this matter, otherwise you and the entire Qingluo City. will be erased. ”

The Dragon Emperor looked at the respectful Emperor Taishi condescendingly, and said these cold words in his mouth, and there was no emotion in his eyes as vast as the stars, but he was ordered to act, and after explaining this matter, he returned to the Nine Dragons Divine Rim and left Qingluo City.

Finally, the huge guard of honor playing fairy music and dancing with thousands of fairies left Qingluo City and rushed to the next city, and Emperor Taishi and others straightened their waists. Looking at the sky where the guard of honor disappeared.

Emperor Taishi's face was full of gloom, and his eyebrows were very worried, and in a moment, his demeanor was no longer the appearance of the ancient well, as if he had gone through hundreds of millions of years in an instant, and the whole person had gone through vicissitudes.

"Although I know that this is still the case, but what, this is fate, how to fight?"

Looking out at the dim sky. Facing the cold wind, Emperor Taishi's white hair flew in the wind, and the corners of his mouth whispered these words, and his eyes became more and more heavy.

Then. The voice of the Red Lotus Fairy came: "Master, we were worried that the Dragon Emperor would have a killing heart when he saw Lu Ren and Du Rufeng and other descendants of the Xuanhuang Shi Lu Realm. Now it seems that we are overthinking. ”

"Hmm. Emperor Taishi didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

"Master. I always felt that the Dragon Emperor seemed to have changed. I still remember that in the Jiuxiao Jade Palace, when the Chaos Martial Arts Conference was held, the Dragon Emperor was a person who looked down on the world, arrogant and domineering, like the most domineering emperor in the world, with a dazzling light, which made people unable to force their eyes. ”

"But now, why does the Dragon Emperor look so ruthless, even the seven emotions and six desires seem to have disappeared, although he still has the courage to look at the world, he always feels like a walking corpse?"

The Red Lotus Fairy naturally hated the Dragon Emperor to the core, so even if he had just arrived, he was quite resentful in his heart, and he was disrespectful, and secretly observed the Dragon Emperor for a long time. She was already a thoughtful person, and she had been observing the Dragon Emperor for so long, so she found the clue.

Hearing this, Emperor Taishi was not surprised, it seemed that he had expected this scene. Even, Fang Cai's scene made him so familiar, just like the scene of the year. On the day a century ago, the previous Cangtian also had such a look and tone of expression.

"Although the Dragon Emperor has obtained a great opportunity, comprehended the Gate of Creation, and obtained the power of immortality, is that really a great opportunity?"

"You are the Holy Lord of the Heavens, and your status is unparalleled in the world, but after all, you are just a servant of the Great Dao, is the power of immortality more important, or is the self more important?"

Emperor Taishi sighed lightly, and the vicissitudes of life swirled in the wind. He didn't say anything more, turned around, and walked forward with a lonely back, and walked back to Qingluo City step by step. This situation made the eight disciples such as the Red Lotus Fairy stand alone in the wind, their faces full of contemplation, and their moods became more and more heavy.

"From now on, Qingluo City will hold a Fighting Immortal Conference on the third day of March every year, and the top ten winners will be sent to the Heavenly Saint Palace, where they will have the opportunity to compete for the number of saints and receive the mercy of the heavens!"

This news was quickly conveyed from the City Lord's Mansion, and in less than three days, it spread throughout the entire Qingluo City, and tens of millions of monks and immortals were all encouraged and excited, and enthusiastically participated.

After all, the rewards are just too tempting and too generous. Think about it, the top ten winners can actually enter the Heavenly Saint Palace, have a chance to become a saint, and can also get the guidance of the heavens!

The words Heavenly Saint Palace, saints, and these words are undoubtedly the strongest stimulants and boosts for ordinary monks and immortals. Obviously, every monk came to the Sacred Realm through hardships and dangers because of the power of immortality and immortality.

Although, they didn't know where the Dao Heavenly Saint Palace was, what it looked like, and they didn't know what the Dao Saints were. But they know a little bit, perhaps, if they can enter the Heavenly Saint Palace and become a saint, they will be able to obtain the power of immortality!

Because of this, on the third day, on the central square of Qingluo City, the ring jointly built by the Red Lotus Fairy and other eight immortal kings was already full of immortals who had come to participate in the Dou Immortal Conference.

Of course, ordinary monks are not allowed to participate in the Dou Immortal Conference, and the minimum requirement is to have the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. However, the person who wins at the end of the game is definitely not a celestial immortal.

Emperor Taishi seemed to have little interest in this matter, so he only instructed his disciples to do it, and he stayed in the city lord's mansion for retreat. Moreover, about the Heavenly Saint Palace and the saints and other things, the Taishi Emperor also kept silent, and did not tell the immortal monks in the city what those things were.

Although, everyone knows the Dao, the Emperor Taishi must know what these things represent.

As a result, the millions of immortals who later participated in the Dou Xian Conference. They are all fresh faces, there are no disciples under the throne of Emperor Taishi, and there are no masters of the Xuanhuang Shilu realm.

The Dou Immortal Conference was very exciting, and once it was held, it immediately became the focus of the entire Qingluo City, and almost all the immortals gathered here. In a month's time, hundreds of thousands of heavenly immortals and a small number of immortal king powerhouses participated in the Fighting Immortal Conference.

In the end, the ten winners were decided, and the Douxian Conference was declared over, and it will be held again on the third day of March next year.

No doubt. These ten winners are all immortal kings. Although they were all just immortals with the strength of some immortal kings in the early stage, they were also outstanding existences in the entire Qingluo City. Of course, in the final analysis, the main reason is that the eight hundred immortal kings under the throne of Emperor Taishi did not participate in the Fighting Immortal Conference, and the masters of the Xuanhuang Shilu realm did not participate.

After the end of the Douxian Conference, the ten winners were summoned by the Emperor Taishi, and the disciples such as the Emperor Taishi and the Red Lotus Fairy were finally summoned. Escort these ten people to the Heavenly Saint Palace.

After the ten Immortal Kings arrived at the Heavenly Saint Palace, they waited for three days and saw two hundred and ten winners sent from various cities in the Holy Domain. From now on, there will be a total of 220 winners. Gather in the Heavenly Saint Palace, they will ascend to the Heavenly Saint Palace, go to the ninefold clouds, and only the most powerful will reach the top. Only those who reach beyond the Nine Heavens will be able to obtain the power of immortality, and even have the Great Dao to teach and teach.

Two hundred and twenty winners. Half of them were immortal kings from the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens Jade Kingdom, and the other half were Immortal Kings from the Divine Realm and the Nine Netherworlds. Today, the fairy realm and the god realm are no longer blocked by the heavenly river, and they are finally able to meet together and compete.

After sending the ten immortal kings to the Heavenly Saint Palace, Emperor Taishi returned to Qingluo City with the Red Lotus Fairy, and since then he has been in retreat, and has not appeared for thousands of years.

Next, on the third day of the third month of March every year, Qingluo City will hold a Dou Immortal Conference on time, and then ten winners will be decided, escorted by the Red Lotus Fairy, to the Heavenly Saint Palace. And so on and so forth, year after year, and before you know it, a thousand years have passed.

In the past thousand years, many monks and immortals in Qingluo City have been inspired to fight endlessly, and everyone is desperately cultivating hard, just to be able to win the top ten of the Dou Immortal Conference one day and be sent to the Heavenly Saint Palace. Unconsciously, capturing the top ten of the Dou Immortal Conference and being sent to the Heavenly Saint Palace has become the goal of every monk and immortal.

At the same time, Qingluo City also adhered to the will of the Heavenly Holy Lord, ordering all male and female monks and immortals in the city to marry or give birth, regardless of whether they were married or not, they could have children. At the same time, Qingluo City also gave heavy rewards to the monks and immortals who gave birth to children, which greatly stimulated the speed of the monks and immortals to reproduce.

In just a thousand years, the population of Ching Luo City has reached 35 million from the initial 18 million. In addition, the population is growing faster and faster, and it is expected that in another thousand years, the population of Cheongnakju will reach hundreds of millions.

However, what is worrying and somewhat disappointing is that with the annual Douxian Tournament being held, the strength of the winners of each session is gradually getting weaker and weaker. In the first few hundred years, the top ten winners were almost all strong in the strength of the Immortal King, but today, thousands of years later, the strong Immortal King is rare, and most of the top ten winners are the strength of the late Heavenly Immortal.

Moreover, at first, the eight hundred immortal kings under the throne of the Taishi Emperor, because they couldn't see the reaction of the Taishi Emperor, no one went to participate in the Fighting Immortals Conference. But later, the Emperor Taishi retreated and didn't ask about the world, and some immortal kings finally couldn't bear the temptation of going to the Heavenly Saint Palace and becoming saints, and finally couldn't help but participate in the Fighting Immortal Conference, and were sent to the Heavenly Saint Palace as they wished.

Although the aura in the holy area is thin, there is Qingluo Lake next to Qingluo City, and there is a spring of life, so the cultivation speed of monks and immortals is extremely fast, and almost every year, countless monks have become immortals, and even the tribulation is saved.

The monks no longer have the threat of catastrophe, their strength has grown extremely rapidly, and there are many immortals who have cultivated in a thousand years, and the pedestrians on the streets of Qingluo City can find countless true immortals and heavenly immortals with a single pick.

However, although the cultivation speed of the immortals and monks was extremely fast, and the speed of their strength improvement could be described as a thousand miles a day, they still could not meet the needs of the Dou Immortal Conference. Every year, ten of the strongest people are sent away, and even if there are more strong immortal kings, there will still be a day when they will be exhausted, so it has become the current situation, and the winners of the Dou Immortal Conference have become immortals in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortals.

In the past thousand years, the Red Lotus Fairy has been repeating the same thing every year, and the anticipation and excitement of the Douxian Conference at the beginning have gradually become numb and indifferent after the beginning. Moreover, she gradually felt that the Douxian Conference seemed to have lost the meaning of selecting talents. More often than not, as the leader of escorting the ten winners to the Heavenly Saint Palace, she didn't feel that she was transporting talents at all, but was more like Xiao Er in a mortal restaurant, delivering dishes one after another to the guests' tables.
