Chapter 347: The Purple Palace
Quetai is a wonder of the Purple Palace. A small platform ten meters long and three meters wide, it is the venue of the Purple Palace.
In fact, the magpie platform was designed using space secret techniques and formations. It is a real shrinkage of the ground.
Through supernatural powers and formations, cultivators changed the molecular spacing of matter, creating platforms such as storage bracelets and magpie platforms. Understand how it works, and the mysterious aura that shrouds it is gone. Mortals can't understand this phenomenon and think it's an immortal's spell, but in fact, it's worthless.
Ding Yi and the others rushed to Dragon City early in the morning, and after identification and inspection outside the city, each team was led by a team of dragon knights and entered Dragon City.
There are many kinds of dragon knights, but all the formations belong to Dragon City, and there are many types of dragons, in addition to the common Earth Walking Dragons and Flying Dragons, Swift Dragons and Pterodactyls are the most livestock in Dragon City. This kind of dragon, which looks like a big lizard and has fleshy membrane wings, is much smaller than the cloud dragon, demon dragon, and golden dragon that are 100 meters long, and they are not much stronger than those lions, tigers and leopards.
However, Ding Yi still left the flying lynx Xiao Ash by Shi Yao's side, this flying lynx who is curious about everything, Ding Yi is a little wary that it will cause trouble in the palace.
Dragon City is composed of tens of thousands of palaces and buildings, and it is composed of thousands of various government functional departments, as well as the imperial palace, which together form a large settlement.
The Purple Hall is one of the most prominent of these palaces, and is the seat of various ministries and meetings, state affairs, and important holiday celebrations. The area of the Purple Hall is quite large, with tens of thousands of square meters, and it can accommodate thousands of people.
Being able to set foot in the Purple Hall is something that can be boasted of for a lifetime.
The one who accompanied Ding Yi and them to the Purple Hall was to the universe. Chen Shi'an and Shi Yao, the injuries on their bodies have not been neatly resolved, and they must be very disappointed in their hearts when they are absent from such a solemn absence.
Xiang Universe was a little excited. This is the first time he has come to the Purple Palace, and this is also the first time that Zhongshan Academy has ever participated in such a high-level cultivation competition, so it is no wonder that Xiang Universe is so excited.
Each team is guided by a dragon knight, and among the eight teams, Zhongshan Academy is unique, and everyone is a little excited to participate in this level of competition for the first time.
Everyone was a little scared, although everyone had done etiquette training in advance, but stepping into Dragon City still made these people who came to Dragon City for the first time inevitably a little nervous.
Ding Yi secretly looked around, and at the same time, he was also observing several other teams that had made it to the finals.
Everyone has seen Xicen College and Kunpeng Academy.
Meng Tianci and Ren Tianqing of Beiyang College, Ding Yi only knew the two of them, and he hadn't seen anyone else.
The remaining teams are the Shenglong Academy of the Tian Yuan Continent. Fengming Academy and Divine Grace Academy in the Giant Rock Continent. There is also the Aurora Academy on the Arctic Continent. This is the first time we have met.
It is recognized that the strongest strength is the Beiyang Academy, and the genius Qi Spirit Grandmaster Meng Tianci leads the group in qualifications, ranking first in qualifications.
In Shenglong Academy, there is also a Xuan-level player, Wang Yuegui of the Natural Department. This is a five-year-old, three-thick, rough-looking, sturdy girl, and she is also a body refiner. Her strength is very strong, but the attack power of the natural department is a little weaker, and she ranks second.
He Qionglan of Fengming Academy is a Xuan-level player who ranks third in personal qualifications, she just broke through the Xuan-level last month, and the Xuangong of the wood department is very good. It's a pity that this He Qionglan's magic spell is mainly based on flowers, if it is similar to a stem like Long Yan, or a fruit like Zhang Guozi, that power is powerful. It is currently in third place.
Ding Yi, who is considered the fourth Xuan-level player, a week ago, he had just advanced, and he was a genius in the puppet department. It is said that with his age, his ranking should be at the top, but he is too young and has just been promoted, and the conference ranked his qualifications in fourth place.
And the overall strength of Zhongshan College, where he is located, is relatively low, and the comprehensive strength of Zhongshan College is also ranked fourth this time.
The championship match of the Qinglian Championship is finally about to begin.
Emperor Xiao Tianhe presided over the final battle of this year's Qinglian Championship. He continued the actions of His Majesty the Emperor of the Xiao family for more than 400 years, and worked hard to do a good job of humanoid identification and rubber stamps.
The imperial power has been compressed so much that there is no real power at all, so being an emperor is not a happy thing. In fact, being the emperor of the Shenwu Empire is very boring. The vast majority of the Shaw people have no interest in sitting on this dragon chair.
Xiao Tianhe was originally not interested in the players from the various teams who came to participate in the competition. It wasn't until the Minister of Rites read out Ding Yi's name that Xiao Tianhe paid special attention to it.
The quadrennial Qinglian Championship has lasted for more than 120 sessions. In order to show the importance that the empire attaches to education and culture.
The finals are all arranged in the Purple Palace. Leaders of various ministries and organs will attend this grand meeting. It was also here that Ding Yi finally met His Majesty the Emperor of the Shenwu Empire, the High Priest, the Speaker, and the important ministers of the Empire.
According to various etiquette norms, Ding Yi also followed the crowd to salute. His main focus was on the high priest.
Beyond Ding Yi's imagination, the high priest was not very old, he should only be in his twenties and thirties. Stomping, bald head, and a snow-white white robe. He is not very old, his eyes are unusually bright, his appearance is delicate, and he naturally has a kind of compassion for the world...... In short, the image of this high priest's god stick is still quite good.
The high priest has been secretly observing Ding Yi since they came to the Purple Temple. Most people in this team will regard Yuan Zhen as Ding Yi. Because whether it is the external talent or external image, Yuan Zhen is better than Ding Yi.
But the high priest can't be mistaken, he is in the eight teams, or all at once, he found the target.
Ding Yi was also observing the high priest when he was also the first to discover the high priest. No one told him that this bald young man in white robes was the high priest. But it was at this casual glance that Ding Yi immediately knew the identity of the other party.
At the same time, there were several ministers who paid attention to this young man. Several ministers related to the Ministry of Commerce, they knew that this little guy was a rich man, and his net worth was even able to squeeze into the top 1,000 of the empire.
Several ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Science and Technology knew that this was the winner of last year's Qilin Award, and he was also the youngest Xuan-level cultivator in the empire.
In this, Xiao Tianhe's eyes when he looked at Ding Yi were the most complicated.
It is impossible for Xiao Rui not to investigate Ding Yi, and it is impossible for him not to discuss this matter with his Lao Tzu.
I learned that this commoner was born, and his net worth was already 10 billion, and in the Liuhua Continent, he also had a broad mass base, and there were countless Xiuzhen families who were willing to believe in him and make money with him.
To be honest, no one would have believed that this ordinary teenager in front of him would have such a net worth at the first time. But after learning about the deeds of this wicked young man. Everyone in the Xiao family has a little complicated thoughts.
The emperor and crown prince of the dignified Shenwu Empire would be jealous of the son of a commoner like Ding Yi, which can be regarded as a miracle under this system. However, considering that there are still heavy debts of more than two billion gold dollars outside the royal family, and the so-called right of the royal family is only to preside over a competition like the Qinglian Championship. It is no wonder that even Xiao Tianhe, who is the emperor, would have such a thought.
Minister of Rites, Balabala talked about the history of the Qinglian Championship, and talked about the rules and requirements of the Qinglian Competition. Finally, it was announced that the Purple Palace Contest and the Qinglian Championship had officially begun.
Each college first conducts a lottery and pairs. Based on the rules of the competition, the champion of each continent, the opponent of the first round, is the runner-up of the other continent. The opponent of Zhongshan Academy in the first game was the Divine Grace Academy of the Giant Rock Continent.
The first match was between Peiyang University and Kunpeng College. Ding Yi is very interested in that magpie platform, and he can change the space and really shrink the ground into inches, Ding Yi is still a little curious.
Watching Meng Tianci of Beiyang College walk up to the magpie platform, the height of more than two meters as he climbed the steps step by step, his figure became shorter and shorter, and when Meng Tianci completely climbed the magpie platform, his whole person only became a small black dot on the magpie platform.
You must know that the little giant is a godsend, but he is an out-and-out giant, he is like this, and others can be imagined. However, on the walls of the Purple Palace, after the players were in place, the traditional palace murals were transformed into a live game picture after a flash of inspiration.
Beiyang College was extremely strong, and Kunpeng College did not even win a single game. The entire magpie platform has become a stage for the little giant's personal performance. He cleared the customs cleanly and neatly. Solved the five people of Kunpeng Academy. In the team competition, Beiyang Academy also cut through the mess quickly, simple and rude, with Meng Tianci as the blade, and several other players as the strategy, like a giant hammer directly smashed towards Kunpeng Academy, and solved the battle in three strokes and two clicks.
It was an efficient game, and the whole process took less than half an hour.
In the second game, it was the Shenglong Academy of the Tian Yuan Continent against the Aurora Academy of the Arctic Continent.
The five players of the Aurora Academy are all Fire Spirit Monks, which is really interesting, located in the northernmost part of the empire, the coldest Aurora Academy, but the people on the field are all Fire Spirit Monks. It may be that the colder the place, the easier it is for the Fire Spirit Cultivator to succeed if he cultivates in reverse......
The level of these fire spirit cultivators is all high-level spirit, and their strength should not be underestimated.
As the Thang Long Academy that has won the most championship trophies in history, although the soul core of the team this time is a girl, their overall level has not declined.
Especially their top player, Wang Yuegui. She is simply a humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex, in the face of several fire spirit monks, she is not affected at all, one moment into a flame giant, another moment into a giant stone warrior, she is also like a godsend, clear the level, one to five, and successfully complete the clearance task. In team battles, they encountered extremely stubborn resistance, but in the face of their great strength. Aurora Academy only lasted a little longer than Kunpeng Academy, and the scene was not as ugly as Kunpeng Academy.
The third game was the match between Fengming Academy of the Giant Rock Continent and Xicen Academy of the Tianyuan Continent. The genius girl of the wood department, He Qionglan's magic flower, let the players of Xicen Academy know what is called ever-changing and what is called violent aesthetics. These brightly colored magic flowers are mysterious, yet extremely powerful. Xicen Academy, don't look at dealing with Xie Fei and them, it doesn't seem to be bad, but when they meet He Qionglan, they can only be described as vulnerable. It was only about half an hour before the Xicen Academy was disarmed and surrendered.
In the first game, several continental champion teams sent out the strongest players, and here at Zhongshan College, Ding Yi was not far behind, he was the first to go to the magpie platform.
The strength of the Divine Grace Academy is not weak, and all the high-level players at the spirit level should be stronger than Xicen Academy, Aurora Academy, and Kunpeng Academy.
Especially their core team members, this guy is actually an insect cultivator. can mobilize tens of thousands of insect armies to fight, mutated locusts, wasps, and vampire moths, and can be driven by him into a terrifying military formation, which is very powerful.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful he is, he is only a high-level player at the spirit level, no matter how pervasive the locusts and wasps are, they can't fly into the car puppet, and the hallucinogenic scale powder of the vampire moth is useless to Ding Yi.
As soon as the confrontation began, Yan Biguo was blown out of the magpie platform by Ding Yi's air explosion bomb. Another wind spirit monk who went up and had an absolute advantage in speed was also sent off the ring by Ding Yi in less than three seconds.
The five people of the Divine Grace Academy were all messed up by Ding Yi in less than a stick of incense, and the time spent clearing this round was only a quarter of that of the strongest Meng Tianci before.
The Xuan-level puppet is as powerful as this. In the team battle, Ding Yi directly used the car puppet as a platform to carry Yuan Zhen and Xie Fei into the air, and the powerful artillery fire was fully opened, and a round of air burst bombs accurately fired all the Divine Grace Academy.
With an efficient operation, the little puppeteer confirmed the first victory of Zhongshan Academy in a matter of minutes.
All four continental champions won their first round of matches.
This is the debut of the Xuan-level puppet, and the ministers who were not optimistic about Ding Yi had to make corrections after this round.
Zhongshan Academy's overall deficiencies have been forcibly lifted to a new height by this powerful and sharp cultivation weapon. And Ding Yi's powerful, mysterious Xuan-level puppet in the individual competition can be used as a mobile combat platform...... This has made Zhongshan College's ranking rise a lot.
The other three continental champion teams, in the face of Ding Yi's outstanding performance, each team leader also frowned, and they were trying to figure out how to crack it.
At noon, eight teams were left behind to attend the state banquet, and Ding Yi was still a little looking forward to it. However, after looking at the dishes and portions of the entire state banquet, Ding Yi was disappointed.
The dishes at the state banquet are all ordinary chicken, duck and fish, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and there are no amazing delicious delicacies. I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor did it on purpose, or if that's the case. This state banquet is really ordinary.
This group of players from Zhongshan Academy has been delicacies every day for a period of time, and they billionaires are really not used to suddenly changing their living standards. But after all, this is a state banquet, and basic social etiquette and fashion are still required. The crowd frowned, forcing themselves to eat a little more.
Xiao Tianhe instructed the guards of Dragon City to call Ding Yi in front of him.
It should have been a great honor and pride to be summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, but Ding Yi didn't think so. He had already seen the greedy look of His Majesty the Emperor from Xiao Tianhe's eyes.
This kind of look, he saw it in Minghui's eyes, and this time he saw it in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, he didn't think that this emperor was sacred, on the contrary, he looked down on the royal family in his heart.
