King of Nine Heavens

0The main entrance to Xiaoxiang Palace was a plaza that could not be seen in the horizon. Reportedly, it was the plaza with the largest Xuanwu Continent, which was hundreds of thousands of square meters.    0

    

At this moment, the plaza was filled with heads. There were men and women, and the majority of them were dressed extravagantly. It could be seen that these people were all descendants of large clans. Only a very small number of people wore sackcloth, indicating that their families were not well off. This kind of person's cultivation base was slightly lower, but the aura emitted from their body was even stronger than that of the well-dressed disciples.    

    

Not long after Gao Feng came to the square, Shangguan Yujie and her best friends all came.    

    

They were all the precious treasures of the big families. Their goal in cultivating martial arts was to strengthen their bodies, and they also did not want to suffer hardships. As a result, their cultivation was not very high, and they were all below the warrior realm.    

    

They were here to watch the show, but under Shangguan Yujie's encouragement, they decided to participate in the preliminaries. As for what the result would be, they didn't care. They were clearly having fun competing.    

    

The atmosphere in the square was a bit tense. The well-dressed juniors seemed to be high and mighty, completely looking down on the coarse linen clothes of the juniors. The coarse linen clothes of the juniors also showed their disdain towards the richly dressed juniors, their eyes full of contempt.    

    

"What's so special about that? Isn't it just reincarnation?"    

    

"Rebirth is also a skill. If you have the ability, then you should be reborn."    

    

Naturally, the well-dressed disciples were not to be outdone. Immediately, someone mocked and retorted.    

    

The moment the two sides disagreed, they both began to rub their hands together. The Xiaoxiang Palace disciples who were maintaining order at the scene saw that the situation was not good and quickly separated them.    

    

"Everyone, quiet down and listen to what this old man has to say."    

    

Suddenly, a voice that was loud as a bell echoed throughout the entire plaza. When the people in the plaza heard this voice, they immediately quietened down and looked towards the Chair Platform.    

    

In the blink of an eye, the entire plaza became deathly silent, so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.    

    

On the Chair Platform, Shangguan Tianming looked at the tens of thousands of disciples below with a smile and nodded in satisfaction. This year's event was grand and not only were the participants the best in the history of Grand Xia, their cultivation base was also the best in the history of Grand Xia.    

    

The last time was the worst, when Shangguan Bingqing was thirteen years old and had just stepped into the warrior realm. Even Shangguan Tianming did not have any hopes for her, but Shangguan Bingqing had survived by relying on her own cultivation and the number of Devil Pill she had obtained was tenth. Adding to her fact that she was a Divine Body, she had become one of the twenty core disciples.    

    

With Shangguan Bingqing's cultivation at that time, let alone core disciples, even becoming an inner disciple would be a problem.    

    

Shangguan Tianming had long since heard from his disciple that those who wanted to join Xiaoxiang Palace, had a decent level of cultivation. Thus, when he heard from Shangguan Bingqing at the Main Hall that Shangguan Yujie was also going to participate in the selection competition, he was angered to the point that his face turned ashen.    

    

Although Shangguan Yujie had already broken through to the Warrior Realm, her overall combat power was not even comparable to the peak of Martial Cultivator. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been easily subdued by Ji Yiqun on the stage that day.    

    

In Shangguan Tianming's opinion, what Shangguan Yujie did was not to embarrass him, but to humiliate the entire Shangguan family.    

    

Shangguan Bingqing understood Shangguan Yujie's temper. If she insisted on stopping Shangguan Yujie from participating, Shangguan Yujie would hate her for the rest of her life.    

    

Shangguan Bingqing weighed the pros and cons and said to Shangguan Tianming, "Uncle, this is what my nephew thinks. In the beginning, little nephew did not approve of her participating in the selection as well. After all, she is still young, and if she did not participate this time, she could still participate in the next time, or even the next time. But after thinking about how there is no danger to her life during the selection, little nephew did not advise her to give up.    

    

Shangguan Bingqing didn't say that Shangguan Yujie had changed her original intentions for a man. Otherwise, even if she said those words in such extravagant fashion, Shangguan Tianming would definitely not allow Shangguan Yujie to participate in the preliminaries.    

    

Shangguan Tianming felt that Shangguan Bingqing's words made sense. In addition, someone also came to remind him to host the meeting, so he reluctantly agreed to Shangguan Yujie's participation. He also said some encouraging words for Shangguan Bingqing to pass on.    

    

On the way to the plaza, Shangguan Tianming still held a glimmer of hope for Shangguan Yujie. However, when he saw that most of the youths in the plaza were all warriors, and many of them were even infinitely close to the Martial Master Stage, the faint hope in his heart instantly vanished.    

    

Having money was definitely something. Seeing so many geniuses wanting to join Xiaoxiang Palace, Shangguan Tianming was extremely excited, and there was an unconcealable excitement on his face. After all, this world belonged to the young, and the rise of Xiaoxiang Palace depended on them.    

    

Shangguan Tianming walked in front of the Chair Platform and said with a face full of smiles: "Everyone, let me introduce myself. This old man is the Vice Palace Master of the Xiaoxiang Palace. As for the rules of the preliminaries, I'm sure everyone knows about them.    

    

"However, in view of the fact that the cultivation of the disciples who have come to participate in the Conference has generally increased, and the rules have been slightly adjusted, the Devil Beast in the Experiential Training Field have changed from a first stage Devil Beast to a Second Rank Devil Beast."    

    

The moment Shangguan Tianming finished his words, the audience suddenly burst into an uproar.    

    

Someone asked worriedly, "Are there any life worries?"    

    

Shangguan Tianming explained: "There is no life threatening, and it's even the same as before. Once the human body cannot take the Devil Beast's attack, it will be automatically teleported out of the Experiential Training Field."    

    

Everyone below the stage let out a sigh of relief when they heard Shangguan Tianming.    

    

Shangguan Tianming continued: "Since the level of the Experiential Training Field increased this time, the rewards also increased accordingly. The participant who obtains the most Devil Pill will receive a seventh stage Devil Pill, the second will receive a Sixth Rank Devil Pill, the third will receive a fifth stage Devil Pill, the fourth to tenth place will receive a fourth stage Devil Pill, the eleventh to twentieth place will receive a third stage Devil Pill, and any participant who has not been teleported out after training can receive one of the Second Rank Devil Pill s rewards, and they will also have the chance to become an inner disciple of Xiaoxiang Palace. "    

    

When they heard the final reward, all the competitors in the square immediately cheered. Many people came for the inner court disciples. If he couldn't even be an inner disciple, he might as well not join Xiaoxiang Palace.    

    

Shangguan Tianming said: "In the end, I still have to remind everyone that the Experiential Training Field's protection measures are only for humans, and not for the Devil Beast the participants are carrying. In order to prevent cheating, not only did the competitors' own Devil Beast not have any attack power, they were also very likely to be killed by the Experiential Training Field's Devil Beast. When your Devil Beast dies, don't blame me for not reminding you. "
