Chapter 806: The Hunt Began!
Ye Chen settled down in Spirit Moon City.
In the past two days, Ye Chen and the others had basically figured out that there were more than a thousand people in this city. All of them were here for the last one hundred spots for advancement.
The Upper Realm had three thousand continents, and each continent had more than ten million people.
In other words, there were more than ten billion people in the entire Upper Realm.
Therefore, there were naturally a lot of heaven’s favored saints in the Upper Realm.
And this Spirit Moon City had over 1,000 people fighting for this seat, so it was naturally not considered a lot of people.
On the third day.
The selection competition began!
Because there were too many people, there was no challenge competition held. Instead, they entered a mystic realm to screen the qualifications.
The competition was hosted by the Spirit Clan. Although the Spirit Clan’s Grandmaster was injured, it still would not affect the holding of the Immortal Spirit Gathering.
A large array was glowing and emitting green symbols. It was a hazy scene. This was the first stage, and only those who managed to pass it were qualified to take the next test.
Nearly a thousand people moved at the same time and charged into the vast array.
As soon as these people entered, the fog immediately surged into the sky. Everyone dispersed, and the array was boundless and endless. Many people lost their way on the spot.
In the end, only one hundred people managed to break out. Many people were panting and exhausted. This formation was very complicated, and everyone felt exhausted.
The remaining eight to nine hundred people were all trapped in the formation. Many people were exhausted and had already fainted. This was a shocking heaven-shrouding formation.
“It’s so difficult!” Everyone sighed. However, they also knew that this was how it should be. It meant that most people would be eliminated.
After Ye Chen stepped into the formation, a thick fog covered the sky, accompanied by ghostly chirping sounds. It attacked people’s spiritual senses, causing illusions to appear.
Ye Chen did not walk quickly. He did it intentionally, but he passed the test smoothly.
What was frightening was that everyone saw a Tao Tie calmly standing there, causing the nearby creatures’ hair to stand on end. This was an invisible pressure.
“A member of the Tao Tie Clan, he…no matter what, he still wants to pass the test. There’s no justice!”
There were not many spots to begin with, and if a genius from such a large clan came to fight for it, it was very likely that he would accidentally injure or sweep across a large group of cultivators, making people feel powerless.
On the other side, someone cried out in surprise. A white-clothed girl appeared, her entire body emitting a gentle glow. Her bright eyes and white teeth were as white as jade, causing a sensation.
“This is a member of the Grand Moon Jade Rabbit Clan!”
Do not look at the name as not powerful enough, but this was definitely a super clan. After the supreme expert of the Grand Moon Jade Rabbit Clan died, he would transform into a silver moon and hang in the sky.
Ye Chen came to the secret realm.
In the secret realm, he saw many experts, but there was no strongest expert among the various races.
After all, those people were the heaven’s favored Saint Sons of the various races. The quotas were usually decided internally, so they naturally would not participate in such an assessment.
Ye Chen easily passed the first test.
The second test began to test one’s combat strength. There were a few stone steles in front of them. They needed everyone to attack them with all their strength to test how strong their combat strength was.
One by one, they arrived in front of the stone steles and began to test.
One by one, they began to test.
The young lord ranked second in the Spirit Clan directly became first place.
Fairy Luoxia and the others also successfully entered the top ten.
One by one, the cultivators continuously tested.
It was Ye Chen’s turn, but his results were not particularly good.
In the end, he was ranked in the dozens. He only calmly floated past the courtship because he had suppressed himself too much!
“So close!” This made Ye Chen dumbstruck. He almost could not enter the mystic realm, and he really did not know what to say.
Then, they arrived at the third stage.
They arrived at the third stage.
At this moment, 108 large stars appeared in the sky one after another. Accompanied by Primal Chaos Qi, they spun in the sky. Finally, they connected into two lines, forming a large cross.
The void was split by the cross, and Primal Chaos Qi suffused the air. Then, brilliant immortal light gushed out, and the depths of the fog was resplendent!
That was a door that had already opened and appeared in the vast sky. Everyone was deeply shocked. They actually needed to open the mystic realm like this. The 108 large stars connected into a cross and opened a passage.
It was as if they were about to enter the other shore of the starry sky!
A group of young elites from various races appeared. All of them had extraordinary phenomena. They stood on their own sides and were wrapped in runes. It was as if a group of godly kings had descended.
After the mystic realm was opened, they were first invited to enter. This meant that they were one step closer to great fortune.
The 108 great stars formed a cross and slashed open the void. The door was very large and the interior was resplendent.
There was an altar within the door. Upon stepping on it, one could enter different realms of the secret realm.
Right in front of the door, some of the major characters from the various sects were personally guarding it. They guided these geniuses and geniuses to ascend the altar, wanting to send them to different realms.
The third test contained ten pieces of enigmatic bones. As long as one could find these ten pieces, one would be able to advance to the next level.
Although it was said that they had found them, in reality, it was a form of snatching.
However, they could not kill anyone in this mystic realm.
Because this was a selection competition, if someone died, the Spirit Clan would not be able to answer to the other clans.
Every cultivator who ascended the altar would receive a pure white beast tooth. The heroes outside the door were baffled and a little confused.
“This is a holy object that was brought out of the arcane realm in the past. It was refined by the celestial immortal with his blood and sweat. It has a magical effect that can save lives.”
Someone whispered, causing many people’s hearts to tremble. They asked in detail what exactly was going on.
This pure white beast tooth was a rare ‘life talisman’. If one was killed in the arcane realm with it, it could be used as a scapegoat and teleport people back to the altar.
Hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The value of this life talisman was too high. At the same time, they felt indignant. This was too unfair.
“Without this kind of life talisman, do you think that those immortal orthodoxies would let their Saint Sons, Heaven’s favorites, and goddesses take risks?” Someone sighed. This was the truth.
The beast tooth life talisman could only be used once. The wielder was wrapped in runes and sent back to the altar. If the wielder insisted on entering the secret realm and was killed again, they would only die.
“After being beheaded once, would anyone still take the risk and go deep in?”
“That might not be the case. Some Heaven’s favorites are conceited and have no opponents. They look down on the entire province. If they accidentally die or are ambushed, they might even kill their way back.”
Countless people looked up at the sky. They had such protection for these young Heaven’s favorites. They could only be envious because these people had already proven that their lives were precious enough to be worth it.
The Fairy Luoxia did not walk together with the descendants of the Spirit Clan because all the young geniuses had been separated. Each of them was in a realm and needed a certain amount of time to meet and have a big collision.
Ye Chen also stepped into the secret realm.
He looked at those geniuses and revealed a trace of a smile.
Finally, Ye Chen landed on a mountain peak.
He looked at the secret realm calmly and said, “Then, let the hunt begin!”
