Chapter 424 – Phoenix City
Yun Che descended the Phoenix Jade Peak, left the Phoenix Mountain Range, pondered for a while, and returned directly to Divine Phoenix City before heading straight to Phoenix City.
Phoenix City was located in the southwest of Divine Phoenix City, belonging to Divine Phoenix City and existing alone, it was a special city within a city. Phoenix City, like Divine Phoenix Palace, was the core residence of the Phoenix Divine Sect, the difference being that one was the core of power and the other was the core of power, and both, had an unrivaled deterrent.
In Phoenix City, there was a Phoenix Realm, which was the place where the Seven Kingdoms Ranking Battle was traditionally conducted.
Approaching Phoenix City, a palpitating sense of oppression, with obviously scorching air greeted him. Above the tall city gates was a mighty, gigantic phoenix, and Yun Che stopped in his tracks and did not walk in. Although as a participant in the battle, he deserved to have arranged accommodation in it, but his special status, if he stayed here, there were bound to be many uncertainties, and he had only come this time to step on the spot. After determining where Phoenix City was, he turned around and left, then quickly changed his appearance and checked into a remote and quiet inn.
There were still the last three days before the start of the Seven Kingdoms Qualifying Battle.
Three days was enough for him to refine the Heavenly Xuan Qiankun Dan.
Entering the inn, observing his surroundings, and closing the door to his room, Yun Che took out the Phoenix Aoi, Demon Burning Blood Crystal, and other materials, and quickly quenched them with the Heavenly Poison Bead, and very quickly, a full-bodied reddish-red, as if it had just been dipped in blood, appeared in Yun Che’s palm. As the elixir took shape, a violent aura was also immediately released, roughly expelling the surrounding air.
Picking up this freshly refined Heavenly Xuan Qiankun Dan, Yun Che thought nothing of it and threw it into his mouth without hesitation.
The Heavenly Xuan Qiankun Dan instantly melted in his mouth, instantly transforming into a magma-like hot stream that surged into the Xuan Vein and the meridians around his body, and instantly, a needle-like tingling sensation came from all over his body, but Yun Che closed his eyes, his complexion was calm, as if he had no sensation at all. This kind of pill that could forcibly raise Xuan Power in a short period of time must have extremely violent medicinal properties, and the risk of swallowing such a pill was often far greater than the benefit. However, Yun Che, after all, had the blood of the phoenix and the dragon marrow, had the Great Dao Faust to protect his body, and was able to use his Spirit Xuan body to swallow the blood and flesh of the king dragon, and now, with his Earth Xuan body, swallowing the Heavenly Xuan Qiankun Pill was even more of a no-brainer.
Even so, under the violent medicinal properties of the Heavenly Xuan Qiankun Dan, Yun Che still did not feel good. As the medicinal power gradually melted away, the heat flow that surged into his meridians and Xuan veins also became more and more violent and ferocious, and although his face was calm, on his forehead, he was already quietly covered in a fine hot sweat. ……………… …………
The refining of the Heavenly Xuan Qiankun Dan took about as long as Yun Che had expected, and by the time he had completely finished refining and opened his eyes, the time, it was already early morning three days later.
Yun Che stood up and stretched out his own hands. During these three days, his clothes had been soaked with sweat over and over again, emitting a pungent odor of sweat. His palms were stretched out, and a cloud of Xuan Power Vortex appeared in the center of his palms, and then as his palms came together, the Xuan Power Vortex directly dispersed, bringing forth a loud air explosion.
“The elevation is similar to what I expected, and it’s finally just one step away from the Heavenly Xuan Realm.” Yun Che clenched his fists and muttered to himself, “Jasmine, how long have I been refining?”
“Three days.”
“Oh …… what? Three days?!”
Yun Che jumped up with a jolt, he quickly glanced outside the window, judged the time, and scurried towards the door, “Jasmine! Why didn’t you yell for me! Today is the period of the qualifying battle, and it’s quite a distance from here to Phoenix!”
“I’m not obligated to remind you.”
As he scurried to the door, Yun Che’s footsteps stopped, he sniffed the smell on his sleeves and slammed the door he had pulled open heavily again, “Forget it, I’d better take a bath first.”
Jasmine: “……”
By the time Yun Che rushed all the way to Phoenix City, it was nearing 9:00 a.m., and less than two quarters of an hour remained before the qualifying battle began.
A dense crowd surrounded in front of Phoenix City’s gates, all of these people did not have the qualifications to enter, or did not snatch the entrance ticket, and could only unwillingly wander around outside of Phoenix City, expecting to be the first to receive the battle report. Yun Che quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed to the main gate of Phoenix City before being stopped by two Phoenix disciples.
“Show your entry qualifications.” The one Phoenix disciple who stopped him lazily said. It was estimated that he had repeated the same words countless times today.
“I’m a participant of the Cangfeng Kingdom.” Yun Che simply said, while holding up his Battle Participation Badge.
As soon as the red battle badge came out, the gazes of the two Phoenix disciples immediately condensed, and when they saw the word “Cangfeng” on it, they glanced at each other, revealing the same strange look. One of the Phoenix disciples shouted inside, “Senior Brother Zhan Yun, the participants from the Cang Feng Kingdom have arrived!!!”
“What? Cang Feng!?”
Soon, a young man with a solid body walked out, he saw the participant badge in Yun Che’s hand at a glance, then stared at him again, and softly said, “We all thought that you Cang Feng Kingdom wouldn’t dare to come, it’s actually at this time that you arrived, you guys are too much not to take this qualifying battle seriously……. Never mind, I will personally bring you guys in. Where are those people outside of you?”
“No.” Yun Che shook his head, “Just me.”
“What? Just you?”
“That’s right, Cangfeng this time, I’m the only participant in the battle, there’s no one else, and there’s no one accompanying me. Please bring me in, the ranking battle will begin soon.” Yun Che calmly said.
Feng Zhan Yun looked Yun Che up and down, and incidentally probed his Xuan Power, the corner of his mouth turned away, he didn’t bother to say anything more, and said carelessly, “Forget it, since you’re here, follow me.”
“Senior Brother Zhan Yun, do we need to report to the Grand Elder?”
“No need.” Feng Zhan Yun waved his hand, “The qualifying battle will start soon, there’s no need to let them be distracted by this small matter, he’s only here to go through the motions anyway, just arrange it casually.”
Phoenix City was the core place of the Phoenix God Sect, so naturally, outsiders could not be allowed to casually set foot in it. Passing through the center Phoenix Realm was a somewhat narrow and long fixed channel, on both sides of the channel, the aura of the Flame Xuan Formation came from both sides of the channel, obviously, whoever dared to try to step foot in the area outside the channel would definitely encounter the attack of the Xuan Formation.
Entering the Phoenix Realm, before even getting close to the Qualifying Battle Arena, a lively and exciting atmosphere had already greeted him, and as he entered the arena, Yun Che’s entire body was stunned for a moment.
Cang Wanchu had once told him that the Seven Countries Qualifying Battle was a shame that he did not wish to mention to the Cang Feng Xuanists, but to the other six countries, it was the most important and grandest event in the Xuan Realm every twenty-five years. Every time the Seven Countries Ranking Battle came, from emperors to commoners, all of them paid attention to it wholeheartedly. In order to prepare for this ranking battle, preparations had even begun five years ago.
At this moment, Yun Che finally began to understand what the “Seven Countries Ranking Battle”, which was rarely mentioned in Cangfeng Country, meant.
The size of the entire arena was far beyond his expectations. What occupied the majority of the arena was naturally the audience. At a glance, the crowd was bustling, endless, boundless, the entire arena was filled with people from top to bottom, never less than millions of people. High in the sky, a large number of people flew in and out, flying in and out, just like flying locusts.
The scale and atmosphere of the Cangfeng Qualifying Battle can only be compared …… to it, and it can only be said that it simply doesn’t even have the qualifications to be compared.
The incomparably large seating area was divided into several parts, each of which was filled with people, with not a single empty seat, but it was also considered to be clearly separated. At the very front of the seats, Yun Che saw the logos of each of the five countries, and the participants and escorts of each of the five countries were sitting in these seats, and behind them were basically their own country’s supporters, and before the qualifying battle had even begun, they were already all red in the face, eyes gleaming, and full of excitement and impatience. To be able to enter the qualifying battle scene to cheer for their country and witness the race, for them, this is already enough to show off a lifetime of honor.
The chairman’s seat of the tournament field naturally belonged to the Phoenix God Sect. However, the Phoenix God Sect’s most forward seat was vacant, and the Phoenix God Sect’s giants had yet to enter.
Yun Che’s gaze quickly swept around, but he was never able to find the Cangfeng Kingdom’s seat.
“Hey, how was it? Scared, haven’t you seen such a big scene since you were born?” Feng Zhan Yun squinted at Yun Che and said.
“Why isn’t there a seat for the Cangfeng Kingdom?” Yun Che asked with a frown.
“Why should there be?” Feng Zhan Yun skewed his mouth and asked rhetorically, “Aren’t your Cangfeng Country’s Xuanists coming to this Seven Country Ranking Battle just to make up the number of ‘seven countries’ or …… hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe to add a little bit more laughs. Speaking of which, you would have had seats, after all, you’re at least an independent country, but until three days ago, we still hadn’t received any semblance of movement from the Cang Feng Country, and assumed that you weren’t even lazy about ‘making up the number’ this time around, so we didn’t prepare anything about your Cang Feng Country, including seats.”
Yun Che’s brows tightened and he did not speak.
This wasn’t a question of whether or not to prepare a seating area, even if Cang Feng Country had indicated several months in advance that it would not participate in the battle, here, there should still be a seating area for Cang Feng Country …… because this was the most basic acknowledgement of and respect for a country that actually existed.
And now the entire field, all six countries are present, but there is no Cangfeng country seat …… This has simply been nakedly not put Cangfeng country in the eyes! It might even be a deliberate slight and insult.
He believed that in the arena, there must be a lot of spectators from Cangfeng Country, and every Cangfeng Country person who saw such a scenario would probably have their lungs blown up with anger.
“It’s also good that there is no preparation, your Cang Feng came to a kid like you, tsk, if you leave a piece of Cang Feng sitting, it would really be a waste. As for you …… well, there are no other empty seats, you can only stand here. When you need to enter, you can directly fly over from here, how convenient …… Oh, right, you seem to be only in the ground Xuan realm, and you can t Xuanduo the void yet. Then you’re on your own, I Feng Zhan Yun personally bring you here, but also arranged for you to be able to stand position, but has already given you enough face, enough for you to go back to show off ten years eight years.”
Feng Zhan Yun said “here”, is the huge arena most edge of a corner, not only the location is extremely poor, eyesight is not enough to see the center of the arena, and even a seat is not counted! If you have to find an advantage for this location, it can only be that this location can overlook half of the arena.
