Chapter 293: Ancient Battlefield
"A bunch of rats who can only walk in the shadows, this is not their stage. Dusty said disdainfully.
"That cold young man from the Four Elephant Sect, can you see the doorway?" Dusty Feiyang asked suspiciously, staring at the handsome young man holding a folding fan.
"I don't know, there is no news about him, as if it suddenly appeared, and the registered name seems to be Liu Sexin. Zhang Banxian shook his head and replied.
"There are really a lot of people who have suddenly appeared this year, and the leaf fall of the Forging Heaven Sect is not bad! If I am not mistaken, it seems that he is the only one among all the disciples who has not experienced the three calamities and seven tribulations. When Dust Feiyang mentioned Ye Luo, his face finally looked a little better.
"Hahaha•••" Zhang Banxian could only make a haha perfunctory.
Ye Luo can be regarded as growing up by himself, how can he suddenly come out, but when he thought that he could scold the dead man on the street, Zhang Banxian immediately shrank his head, and the little leaf was not like his mother, but it didn't seem to be like the calm and wooden Ye Yuanmen.
"In just ten years, to be able to stand here, Xiao Yezi's talent is really amazing~" Zhang Banxian immediately couldn't help but sigh.
But this is understandable, after all, even the red leaves who can only scold the street are all realm cultivation, Ye Luo's qualifications are naturally not much worse, but now Zhang Banxian can't understand why Ye Luo's parents are so opposed to his cultivation, if Ye Luo has been cultivating since he was a child, then he will definitely become one of the best people in the square now.
"Well, do you know Ye Luo?" Dust Feiyang naturally heard Zhang Banxian's words.
"I've seen some of Ye Luo's profiles in the Master's Pavilion. Zhang Banxian didn't want to say too much, so he dealt with the past casually.
"Everyone is together!" Zhang Banxian looked at the sixteen teams in the audience, and immediately changed his expression, his expression was majestic, and there was no longer half a shadow of the mountain village god stick back then.
"Calm down!" Zhang Banxian shouted, shocking his soul.
The crowd in the square who was competing for momentum also immediately closed and looked at the stands.
"There are both old and new faces among you, and I believe you also know what these ten great comparisons mean••••••"
After all, to take care of the newcomers, Zhang Banxian told everyone in detail about the details and rewards of the ten major competitions from beginning to end, which is also the main purpose of holding an opening ceremony in advance.
Most of the details of this year's Ten Sects Competition are the same as the previous ones, but this year there are some changes.
This year, it seems that more emphasis is placed on the group and the overall strength of the sect, so this year's final ranking match directly canceled the individual battle, but changed it to a team battle.
This may also be a means for the Ten Sects to further strengthen the sense of belonging of the disciples of the Ten Sects.
However, not all teams will be able to participate in the final qualifying round, and before the final qualifying round, sixteen teams will need to compete for the final qualifying round.
This is almost the same as in previous years.
Sixteen teams must first enter the Ancient Battlefield for a month-long qualifying tournament.
The qualification competition no longer cares whether you are a sect or an individual, as long as everyone collects eighty soul beads together after entering the ancient battlefield, then even if the time is less than a month, the competition will end immediately.
At this moment, only those holding the Orb are eligible to participate in the final qualifying round.
So there will be such a problem in this qualifying match, which is also different from the previous ones.
Some sects are stronger, and the number of soul beads collected may be more than five, and if the number of soul beads in the hands of the sect is less than five, then such a problem will immediately arise.
That is, when the second round of team battles occurs, there may be five against four, five against three, or even five against one, and it is more likely that some sects are not even qualified to participate in the second round of competition.
The reason why the system of this competition has changed like this is to prevent some sects from doing everything they can to cultivate only one person, and then obtain a loophole in the ranking of higher sects.
For example, if there is a sect ranked last in the overall strength of the sixteen teams, but one of its disciples is particularly strong, so strong that he ranks first in the individual competition, then according to the rules of the previous years, the weakest sect among the sixteen sects will immediately become the first-ranked sect, and then share the most resources.
It is precisely because of this kind of loophole that in previous years, there were some sects that only cultivated one person, resulting in an uneven distribution of resources, which was not conducive to the long-term development of the entire Ten Sects Alliance.
Therefore, after many consultations, almost half of the ten sects agreed to change the rules, and therefore the current new rules were created.
After changing the rules, if the sect wants to obtain the top noun, it can only think of improving its overall strength, and try to avoid a five-on-four, or even five-to-three situation.
This kind of rule is beneficial to the entire Ten Sects Alliance.
In fact, this qualifier is not so much a competition for places, but rather a disguised benefit for these disciples who participate in the Ten Great Sects.
The Ancient Battlefield, as the name suggests, is the war that followed the war of the ancient period.
And this ancient can be directly traced back to 10,000 years ago, when human beings were not the absolute protagonists of this continent, and the absolute overlord of this continent at that time was still demons!
This demon is not a person from the Demon Sect who now lives in the Northern Plains, but a real demon man, which is another species.
Ten thousand years ago, or even longer, when the Five Ancestors had not yet come to save the world, the entire continent was in dire straits, and the humans and demon clans at that time were raised as domestic animals.
Demons are cruel by nature, they like to eat flesh and blood, and demons are even more ugly.
The demon man is tall, but his face is extremely ugly, his skin is pitch black and covered with fine scales, a large mouth opens directly to the root of his ears, and his claws are as sharp as steel, but it is extremely similar to the image of venom that Ye Luo knows.
When the demons were born, most of the human attacks were ineffective, and some swords and sharp weapons could not hurt the demons' scale armor, and what was even more terrifying was that the demons were not only physically strong, but also mentally no less than humans.
Their magical means are even more diverse, and the place where the demons pass must be black and flamey, but they are extremely cold.
And now the reason why the people of the Northern Plains Demon Sect are called demons is because after the five ancestors came and eliminated almost ninety percent of the true demons, some human beings who were eager for quick success and quick profit took the demons' exercises for their own use and embarked on a cold and bloodthirsty path.
Back then, even if the Five Ancestors were in the lower realm, they were fighting to the death with the demons, and the entire Yuanqing Continent was also shattered and almost collapsed.
Ten thousand years ago, the Yuanqing Continent was much larger than the area of the current Five Continents, and the four secret realms of the Five Continents that were preserved now were only relatively intact parts.
And this ancient battlefield is the fragments of some of the Yuanqing Continent that were crippled after the battle between humans and demons, and finally the five ancestors and their descendants rerefined these continent fragments, so that there is the current ancient battlefield, which is also known as the ancient secret realm.
In fact, most of the secret realm blessed lands that remain now are made by great cultivators in ancient times with great mana.
But after all, these secret realms are artificially refined, so the spiritual power they can withstand is also limited, and the higher the level of the secret realm, the stronger the cultivation of the monks that can be carried.
Let's just say that the ancient battlefield of the Ten Great Sects can only be entered by cultivators under the fate realm.
If the monks above the Seven Realms break through, they may immediately cause the space to shatter, and the monks who break into the battlefield may immediately be sucked into the void space, where there is no spirit and no qi, and once they enter, it will be difficult to survive.
It is said that the entry of these ten sect disciples into the ancient battlefield is considered a benefit, and it is precisely determined by the nature of the ancient battlefield.
After all, many people died in the battle of salvation back then, not only demons, but also great monks of human beings.
And 10,000 years ago, the Yuanqing Continent had not been disabled, and the limit of spiritual power that the Yuanqing Realm could withstand was not only the cultivation of the Heavenly Realm, so there were many magic weapons and exercises left in this ancient battlefield that even the Heavenly Realm monks were blushing at.
Take the more powerful immortal weapons among the ten sects now, almost eighty percent of them come from this ancient battlefield.
It was the disciples of previous generations who entered the ancient battlefield and got it by luck.
Among them, the most famous is naturally the Sword Sect's Zhenzong magic weapon, the Zhuxian Immortal Sword, and the Lei Sect's unpassed law, the Thunder Emperor, all of which are from this ancient secret realm.
Therefore, the main purpose of entering the ancient battlefield is not to compete, but more to find opportunities.
This is also why the time of the qualifiers is set for a month, as for whether you can find the immortal weapon exercise, this is also rich and noble, and it all depends on personal luck.
However, once the immortal weapon is found, whether it can last until the one-month period and bring it out of the ancient battlefield depends on one's personal strength.
The Sword Sect's Zhuxian Sword was not found by the people of the Sword Sect back then, but was snatched from the hands of people from other sects.
Anyway, as long as the immortal weapon is not taken out of this ancient battlefield, it will be an ownerless thing by default, and the disciples of each sect can snatch and kill it at will.
This is also why it is said that the rules of the Ten Sects are more cruel, regardless of life and death, on the contrary, the Ten Sects Rivals also encourage fighting in disguise, which may also be regarded as a spur to the Ten Sects Alliance that has been comfortable for too long.
The ancient battlefield not only had to guard against the disciples of other sects, but also against the original inhabitants of the ancient battlefield.
The reason why the demon is terrible is also related to this.
Even if the body of the demon is destroyed, the soul is still difficult to destroy, even if the soul is destroyed, there are still some powerful demon souls that retain part of their sanity, immortal and immortal.
Therefore, in the war that year, most of the demons' souls were destroyed, but a small number of them were still sealed in their magic weapons.
But after 10,000 years, many magic weapons were damaged because they could not withstand the tempering of the years, and the remnants of the souls in them were naturally released and re-incarnated.
But fortunately, the years have not only refined the magic weapon, but also refined the demon soul together, and these demon soul has become less powerful, which can just be used to hone the cultivation of the disciples of the ten sects.
This is also the original intention of the Ten Great Competitions.
Demon remnant souls also have levels, roughly divided into three categories, low-level remnant souls, intermediate-level whole souls, and the most powerful is the true demon.
Because of this, there are naturally many remnants on the battlefield, and the soul beads mentioned in the rules of the game are condensed from these remnants.
The whole soul is the demon god soul that escaped from the magic weapon, although these god souls have been consumed for about the years, they still retain some of the magic powers of the demons, and they can even take away the human monks, or attach them to the corpses of the monks, so that these corpses can be brought back to life.
And these monks who came back to life have become demon corpses dominated by demon spirits, and every time the ten great clans enter the ancient battlefield, the monks will be repeatedly warned that once they find the demon corpse, they will directly crush and teleport the jade slips, and they must not stay in love.
Although the demon corpses on the ancient battlefield were almost invisible, once they appeared, the disciples of the Ten Sects would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
