Chapter 45: Pre-Selection
Time was flowing slowly, perhaps because it was the first time to participate in such a grand event, Shi Yifeng felt that the three days seemed to have passed for half a month. In the past three days, no one has been allowed to leave this courtyard gate without the nod of Daoyun Zhenren, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Delaying the once-in-a-century cultivator event would make anyone feel that it was a big regret in their cultivation career.
In the past three days, those second- and third-rate sects, as well as many cultivation families, have all arrived at Heavenly Dragon City on time. All of a sudden, the entire Heavenly Dragon City became more lively than ever, and those cultivators who came and went shuttled through the streets and alleys, although they did not particularly need mortal things, but their occasional curiosity would never be interrupted.
In some shops and other places, it is not uncommon to see spirit stones, charms and charms exchanged for silver taels, as well as small items, which has promoted and increased the commercial prosperity of Tianlong City to a certain extent.
Among these people, there is a group of people who are very conspicuous, these people do not have uniform clothing, and some of them are particularly unique, because there is no annex provided by the Celestial Empire, they can only live in some inns that provide accommodation, and some even sleep on the streets.
If Shi Yifeng was here, he would see that there was one of them, who was the one he met in Zhao State, Ren Bufan, who was a martial cultivator. Unexpectedly, this person also came to Tianlong City to participate in this immortal ascension conference.
Ask the rest of the sect in the courtyard. A person in charge of delivering the news will inform the annex of the time and place of the event. For this grand event, the Eastern Dragon Celestial Dynasty spent a lot of money to build a venue, which took twelve years to build.
There are a total of 80 fighting platforms, and each fighting platform is arranged with powerful formations to ensure that the fighting platforms will not be damaged during the competition. This is the person in charge of delivering the news, telling these people in detail about the layout of the venue.
The official date of the conference has been set, that is, tomorrow. It is said that there will be a special knockout tournament this time, after all, there are too many people participating in the competition, and if it is all held one-on-one, I don't know when the competition will be completed, maybe it will be the Year of the Monkey.
Shi Yifeng followed the team of the Dao Sect and appeared at the venue early in the morning. Looking at the crowded scene, I couldn't help but feel uplifted. In the past, when I was in Zhao Kingdom, it was difficult to see a cultivator, and occasionally a low-level cultivator appeared, which could be regarded as burning high incense.
But at this moment, this venue gathered at least more than one percent of the cultivators of the entire Eastern Palace. Due to the rules, although those cultivators who have reached the merger stage cannot participate in the competition, the number of cultivators below the merger stage alone is huge. Moreover, to a certain extent, these recognition cultivations represent the highest level of cultivators below the merger stage.
The person in charge of arranging the competition divided the participants in the venue into four parts, the cultivators of the Qi Induction Realm stood in the southeast corner, the cultivators of the Jindan Realm stood in the southwest corner, the Yuanying Realm gathered in the northwest corner, and finally all those who had reached the out-of-body realm stood in the northeast corner.
When Shi Yifeng followed the procession, he glanced back, and came to an old man with unknown cultivation in the distance, accompanying Daoyun Zhenren and Wei Yizhen towards the direction of the observation platform.
Shi Yifeng silently estimated the number of people in this place in his heart, among them, there were the most disciples in the Qi Induction Realm, with more than 10,000 people. The number of people in the Jindan realm is much less, about 4,000 people. As for the Yuanying realm, there are a lot less, about more than a thousand people. Finally, there are cultivators in the out-of-body realm, and there are only four or five hundred people.
At this time, the person in charge of announcing the rules of the game appeared in the center. The person who came was very decisive, and said the rules of the preliminaries simply and clearly, that is, the cultivators who participated in the competition held on for an hour in the phantom array arranged in advance at the venue. If you don't last more than an hour, you're disqualified.
"This preliminaries are very interesting, and I don't know which Daoist brother came up with it. On the observation platform, Daoyun Zhenren, who was sitting in the front row, laughed softly.
"Brother Dao, this is all the idea of the head of Xuantianzi of Xuantianmen, and I also see that this idea is different, so we unanimously agreed. As for the final finals, it was the Ouyang Batian Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect who came up with it, and the competition finally only determined the top ten, and the top ten were in no particular order. The person who spoke had a warm smile on his face, wore a crown of flat heaven, and wore a dragon robe. In this kind of costume, except for the Holy Dragon Breaking Heaven of the Eastern Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, there is no one else.
