Chapter 135 – Shocking News
”First of all, for those who register for the competition, the Five Elements Basic Technique must pass the seventh level, which is also the minimum requirement for taking the Foundation Building Dan. Secondly, the person who enrolls must be under forty years of age, and those who are over this age should not try to muddle through, because the person in charge of enrollment at the conference will use the Bone Viewing Technique to inspect the true age of each person who enrolls.”
”As long as the above two conditions are met, then anyone can go ahead and enroll without any other restrictions! But as a result, it makes this ring match even more grueling!”
”Do you guys think it’s normal for Tai Nan Valley to have so many people right now? Most of the people here are actually rushing to the Immortal Ascension Society. You have to know that our Tai Nan Society was originally just a trade fair for local young Immortal Cultivators in Lanzhou, and in previous years when this would be held, there were only a few hundred people in total! And now look at you, there are at least a thousand people already gathered in this valley, and in the last few days, people from farther away will arrive one after another, and only then will this Tai Nan Hui trade be at its peak.”
”The reason why these people will first come to our Tai Nan Valley to participate in the Tai Nan Hui, on the one hand, is that they want to exchange for some needed items, on the other hand, why wouldn’t they want to take advantage of this opportunity to observe the opponents that they are going to encounter in the Immortal Ascension Meeting so that they can know themselves and their opponents!”
Hu Pinggu smiled bitterly as she spoke the above words.
Wu Jiuzhi’s face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he said horrifiedly, “According to what Madam Hu said, those experts I saw in the valley who had reached the tenth level of the Kung Fu are also here to participate in the Immortal Ascension Meeting? What’s the point of comparing then, aren’t other people with low levels going up there looking for death?”
”That’s not necessarily true, who says that those with high levels can definitely win against those with low levels, if those with weaker magic power use some powerful magic talismans, or carry some powerful magic weapons, they will still beat those with high levels of magic power all over the place.” Originally, Hei Jin, who hadn’t said anything since he entered the room, suddenly came out with such a sentence, causing the entire room to look sideways!
”Not bad, what brother Heijin said is very reasonable, like me and other immortal cultivators fight, magic power deeper and shallower is not the most important, the most important thing is still to see the mastered spell power size and their flexible use, as well as the power of the portable artifacts that can be used with the help of the power!” Daoist Green Stripe also said with great agreement.
”The words of Brother Heijin and Daoist Green Stripe are indeed to the point, otherwise this Immortal Ascension Conference would not have to be held at all, as long as all the participants stand there and compare who has deeper magic power.” Hu Pinggu laughed Hearing the words of Mo Jin and the others, Wu Jiuzhi did not get happy, but was sad and crying with his mouth muttering non-stop.
”Awesome magic weapon …… great power talisman ……”
Hu Pinggu did not pay attention to Wu Jiuzhi this time, but continued, “Because there are too many people participating in the ring competition, so the Immortal Ascension Society will set up seven rings at the same time, representing the seven great immortal factions of the State of Yue, and whoever wants to become a disciple of whichever faction can go up to whichever ring to have a competition. The ring selection was based on a two-by-two winning system, where two people would compete and the winner would move on to the next round, while the loser would be eliminated immediately, and then the other two would be replaced and compete again. This goes on and on until the whole court is informed that no one else will participate in this ring competition, and then the next round of competition between the winners will begin. So on and so forth, the last remaining ten winners are the new disciples of this Immortal Sect, and can obtain the qualification to take the Foundation Establishment Pill without having to see the equally fierce competition within the sect. It can be called a step to heaven! The process of the Immortal Ascension Conference ring competition is, to put it mildly, like this. But don’t look at the simplicity of what I’m saying, but that tragic scene on the actual stage is simply indescribable!”
Hu Pinggu spoke with emotion.
”I remember that in the last ring battle, there were more than a dozen tenth layer Immortal Cultivators who died alone, and there was even a pair of eleventh layer great masters who also collided together, resulting in both of them dying together! As for the ninth and eighth layer Immortal Cultivators, those who died in the ring were even more, I heard that there were no less than hundreds of them, after all, when it comes to the last few rounds, no one will easily give up the road to becoming a dragon in their hands, and the deaths and injuries are even more impressive!”
Hu Pinggu said here, a sigh of regret on her face!
”Those who have practiced their basic techniques up to the eleventh layer still have to go up to the stage to compete? I’ve heard people say that the Immortal Cultivation Sect doesn’t automatically include such over-qualified wizards? Why would those two even bother to go on stage to fight for their lives!”
A female voice suddenly rang out, it was actually the silent young girl Red Lotus Scattered, actually opened her honorable mouth.
Hu Pinggu heard this and laughed.
”Red Lotus Sister’s doubt, back then I also had it, and had also pondered over it a hundred times. Later on, I met an old-timer of our loose cultivator, and it was only with a little guidance that I was able to come to a realization!”
”Brother Wu and Brother Han, I’m afraid they both had this doubt as well!”
”Not only do they not understand, even our brothers also feel puzzled, eleven layers of wizards have a good bright road not to go, why have to squeeze this small wooden bridge, a careless fall dead!” Blackwood also tightly frowned with a puzzled expression.
”I look at the green stripe Taoist master, calm and relaxed, must have already had a good idea about this, or Taoist master to give them a good explanation!” Aunt Hu Ping giggled a few times and lightly dumped the question on the Taoist priest.
Daoist Green Stripe was a bit surprised, but then he tacitly acknowledged it, and after pondering for a while, he spoke, “In fact, those two are both from Immortal Cultivation Families, and I’m afraid that their eleven levels of realm have been hard-boosted up by spending a lot of elixirs.” He shook his head as if he was unimpressed by these two.
”Isn’t it a normal thing to use pills to raise one’s realm? They can still worship in the Immortal Cultivation Sect!” Wu Jiuzhi’s eyes widened in some confusion.
”Brother Wu forgot one thing, people who can practice eleven layers of techniques before the age of forty may be wizards to us no doubt, but in the eyes of those great sects that have been passed down for countless years, these people are only reserve disciples with ordinary qualifications who have just met their requirements for entry into the sects, or else these people would have long ago been taken in by the great sects of Immortal Cultivation as formal disciples when they were young. It is their family people think, they such a person barely into the cultivation of Immortal Sect also has no future, Ken Ben has no hope in the many better than their qualifications of the disciples, to take the qualification of the Foundation Establishment Dan, which simply leave them behind, and another specialized training. Has been lurking for decades, just to in this ascension of the immortal will be a surprise, directly to take the foundation dan qualification, can also be regarded as another shortcut. It’s just that their family didn’t expect that it would happen that two people with the same intentions would run into each other and end up in the same place, or else they would have definitely gotten what they wanted!”
Daoist Green Tattoo kept sighing while speaking! As for Wu Jiujie and the others, they had long been listening with straight eyes.
”I said how the recent Immortal Ascension Conference is getting more and more intense, the ten and eleven tiers of the ten tiers of the past have all appeared one after the other without even hearing of any high profile people.” Blackwood muttered.
The young girl and Wu Jiuzhi were also silent and speechless, obviously this intelligence greatly exceeded their surprise.
”Think about it, on one side are the great masters who are carefully cultivated and fully armed by the Immortal Cultivation Family, on the other side are us, the people who are lacking in money and few things in the loose cultivation, do you think that we, the loose cultivation, can have a few of us succeed in capturing the logs?”
Hu Pinggu’s expression was cold, with a few moments of self-deprecation!
”According to this, those previous Immortal Cultivation Factions that were overjoyed to get as many disciples as they wanted through the Immortal Ascension Conference were also fakes, and were punching their faces in the face?” Han Li rubbed his nose, looking thoughtful.
”Brother Han is right, where in the world is there really a good thing about having all three, it’s good to have both!” Hu Pinggu slanted a glance at Hei Mu, causing Hei Mu to blush slightly.
”Could it be that we, the loose cultivators, are really inferior to the disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Families? Even those leftovers picked by those Immortal Factions of theirs are so much better than our ordinary loose cultivators?” The Red Lotus Scattered Cultivator asked unconvincingly.
”Although I don’t want to admit it, the chances of an expert appearing among our loose cultivators is indeed far lower than the other side, not to mention that we alone as individuals, in terms of human and material resources, even less compared to others as a clan, in terms of external conditions, it’s far worse than the other side!” The voice of the green-striped Daoist was somewhat bitter.
”I’ve also heard from my friends that even if there are casual cultivators of ours who were lucky enough to become Immortal Sect disciples, the ones who were able to successfully build their foundations after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill were few and far between, very few!” Blackwood also said dejectedly.
”Alright, everyone, don’t be downcast! We’re all still young, if we can’t this time, there’s still the next time in ten years! Maybe that Immortal Sect Entry Disciple status is waiting for everyone in the future! Now it’s better to talk about the matter of pairing up after the meeting!”
Daoist Green Stripe finished pumping up the people in the room before pulling the topic away again.
”There’s nothing to talk about, I’ll just go with everyone when the time comes, after hearing about so many powerful guys in this Immortal Cultivation World, I’m still a little afraid to go on the road alone!” Wu Jiuzhi was still a bit listless.
Daoist Green Stripe shook his head hopelessly and looked at Red Lotus Scattered Man again.
