The importance of a Holy Land cultivator to a country was self-evident.
Generally speaking, for a small country like Southern Liang, having one or two Holy Land cultivators was already amazing. Many countries might not even have a single Holy Land cultivator in millions of years. Without a Holy Land cultivator, the country was weak and would be looked down upon by others.
In the entire five million countries of the Yuan Realm, only a few thousand Holy Land cultivators appeared every ten years. One could imagine how many Holy Land cultivators there were.
More and more people began to gather in the State of Qin, waiting for the Holy Land selection to begin.
On the shore of Fallen Star Lake, an arena had already been set up for the cultivators to fight.
It was not easy to enter the Holy Land. One had to win ten consecutive elimination rounds to guarantee a spot in the Desolate Class. It could be said that it was like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of men and horses. If one's strength was even slightly weaker, it would be impossible to succeed.
As the country where Fallen Star Lake was located, the State of Qin had the most participants. Whenever the Holy Land selection was held, the State of Qin would be as lively as the New Year.
Among them, there was a group of people who belonged to a special group in the State of Qin. They were the subordinates of the State Teacher, Qian Tong.
Qian Tong's status in the State of Qin was extraordinary. As the only Saint Grade Alchemist in the Yuan Realm, Qian Tong's status even exceeded that of the Qin King. He was sought after and admired by countless people and enjoyed many privileges.
For example, in this Holy Land selection, Qian Tong alone had a hundred recommendations!
In the State Teacher's residence, all the people recommended by Qian Tong had already arrived.
Qian Tong sat on the throne in the main hall of the State Teacher's residence. The decorations here were magnificent, comparable to an imperial palace, and no one would say anything.
He wore a golden Alchemist's robe with three flowers looming above his head.
These three flowers were the Flower of Energy, the Flower of Qi, and the Flower of Divine Sense.
When the three flowers bloomed, it meant that the cultivator's Essence, Energy, and Spirit had reached their peak. Qian Tong was already at the peak of the Three Flower Realm!
Looking down, Qian Tong nodded in satisfaction when he saw the hundred cultivators standing in formation below.
These people were all his subordinates, his diehard supporters, all of whom had been carefully selected by Qian Tong.
According to his judgment, if there were no accidents, at least ten of these hundred people should be able to enter the Holy Land. This was also his goal.
He already had many Holy Land cultivators under his wing. Every ten years, he would recommend a group of people to enter.
As more and more Holy Land cultivators gathered under his command, Qian Tong's position became more and more stable, to the point that he was now the emperor behind the scenes of the Qin Empire.
Qian Tong was a true winner in life. He controlled a large number of high-end forces and controlled the entire pill market of the Great Qin Empire.
"The list for the first round is out. I only have one requirement for the first round, and that is to pass all of them!"
Qian Tong's tone was dignified and dignified, revealing the bearing of someone who had lived above others for a long time.
"Tell me about your matches in the first round. Did anyone have a stronger opponent? Is there a problem?"
These cultivators looked at each other but didn't say anything. Not saying anything meant that there was no problem.
"Oh! Were they all so confident? That's great. I hope you won't disappoint me. "
"Don't worry, Sacred Teacher! We will definitely pass! "
In the seventh row, a warrior named Jiao Xi checked his opponent for the first round.
Lin Zhen!
He knew this Lin Zhen. He was the one who eliminated Qin Jianfeng and won first place in the Star of Divine Punishment.
However, eliminating Qin Jianfeng wasn't a big deal. Qin Jianfeng was still young and had only cultivated for a few years. If Jiao Xi went, he could easily eliminate Qin Jianfeng.
After all, he was a Longevity Realm cultivator, not on the same level as a World King.
"I really got a good draw this time. This Lin Zhen is very famous in the Primordial Realm. After he entered the competition, he had countless fans supporting him. If I eliminate him in the first round, I will immediately become the focus of attention."
Knowing that Jiao Xi would face Lin Zhen in the first round, those who participated with him all looked at him enviously. It was only the first round, but he had the chance to defeat a famous person. He was really lucky.
Above, Qian Tong inquired about the situation of the key cultivators. Among the hundred people, ten of them were key cultivators that Qian Tong believed would definitely be able to enter the Holy Land. For this reason, he deliberately controlled the registration time so that these ten people wouldn't meet during the elimination rounds.
In his opinion, the key cultivators were basically guaranteed to enter the Holy Land. He now hoped that among the other cultivators, there would be a few more people who could surprise him.
His gaze swept around and fell on Jiao Xi.
"Jiao Xi, I heard that you fought against the champion of the Star of Divine Punishment in the first round?"
"Yes, Holy Master. That person is called Lin Zhen."
"Very good. This is a very good opportunity to become famous. Lin Zhen is not popular in the Qin Kingdom, but he is definitely the focus of attention. When you fight against Lin Zhen, if you have the chance, say that you are my disciple. Because in the first elimination round, there will definitely be a lot of people paying attention to your match."
Jiao Xi understood what Qian Tong meant. He wanted to take the opportunity to advertise.
"Please rest assured, Holy Master. Jiao Xi will definitely not disappoint you!"
*****
Every time before the Holy Land, every participant's name list would be put under a microscope and observed.
When Lin Zhen's name appeared, it set off a frenzy in the Qin Kingdom!
It had been more than three years since the Star of Divine Punishment. There were countless major events happening in the Yuan Realm every day. There were even countless competitions every day. The Star of Divine Punishment had basically been forgotten by people.
However, while the people of other countries could forget, the people of the Qin Kingdom could not.
They deeply remembered that Qin Jianfeng had basically locked in first place in the Star of Divine Punishment. Not long after he entered, he was in first place. He was still in first place until the end of the competition.
However, in the end, Lin Zhen defeated Qin Jianfeng with a countdown, snatching away Qin Jianfeng's first place.
This incident caused the people of the Qin Kingdom to hate Lin Zhen to the bone. Although Qin Jianfeng was later confirmed to be an Emperor Clan member, the people of the Qin Kingdom did not hate the Emperor Clan members too much.
At least under the leadership of Qin Wushang, the Qin Kingdom became the strongest country in the Yuan Realm. Most of the people of the Qin Kingdom even knew that Qin Wushang was an Emperor Clan member. They still deeply missed him.
In particular, there were some Emperor Clan members who even slandered Lin Zhen on the Internet, cursing him until he was black and blue.
Unfortunately, Lin Zhen later became a wanted criminal and disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he went. Only then did the matter gradually calm down. However, the people of the Qin Kingdom's jealousy and hatred towards Lin Zhen had never decreased.
Who would have thought that Lin Zhen, who had snatched away the hope of the people of the Qin Kingdom three years ago, would actually appear in the Holy Land selection this time!
As such, many people of the Qin Kingdom found an opportunity to clamor in the dimensional universe, wanting Lin Zhen to die in the arena!
"Hahaha! Look who I found. Isn't this the champion of the Star of Divine Punishment, Lin Zhen? How did he change his identity and become a Qilin? "
"Don't you know? He's just a stray dog who was chased out of Southern Liang with his tail between his legs."
"Damned wanted criminal, do you think you'll be fine after running to the Great Qin Kingdom? How did our great country start to decline? It's because of you! I curse you to get your retribution! "
"No need to curse, this guy will get his retribution soon. The arena competition is about to begin. If you're a Qin Kingdom cultivator, you must get rid of this guy in the arena!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We can't give him the chance to crush the talisman. We must kill him! "
"I'm also a participant. My name is Cai Jie, and my number starts with 7. Logically speaking, I should have a chance to meet Lin Zhen. Unfortunately, Lin Zhen couldn't last long enough to meet me. I'm guessing that you'll be eliminated in the first round."
"Quick, let's see who Lin Zhen's opponent is. Let's all go and cheer for him!"
"I found him, I found him! It's someone recommended by Saint Master Qian! His name is Jiao Xi. "
"Great, the people recommended by the Saint Master are all experts. Lin Zhen, you're finished!"
"Sign up and form a group to watch how Lin Zhen dies in the arena. Everyone who comes will be given snacks and stools. I'll pay for it myself!"
"You don't have to pay for it! Everyone, pay for it and watch how Lin Zhen dies. Everyone is very interested. Hahaha! "
Originally, there were too many experts in the arena competition. People should also focus their attention on those experts.
However, this was the Qin Kingdom, and the Qin Kingdom was the home ground. The appearance of Lin Zhen, the public enemy of the Qin Kingdom, immediately aroused the hearts of the people all over the country. They even spontaneously organized on the Internet.
Countless people wanted to go and watch how Lin Zhen was defeated. Some went alone, and some went in groups. Many people even made banners and slogans to support Jiao Xi or to belittle Lin Zhen.
The slogans were even more varied, and they were extremely sarcastic.
There were even pieces of analysis articles in the Dimensional Universe, analyzing whether Lin Zhen or Jiao Xi's combat power was stronger or weaker.
Such people were called data emperors. They analyzed comprehensively and even took out the past records of the two people, the comparison of their Star Power, unique skills, realm, popularity, and so on.
There were also many people who supported such posts. After all, everyone was a warrior, and they still had some rational judgment.
There were also casinos that directly opened bets to bet on who would win the battle between Lin Zhen and Jiao Xi.
The limelight of all the other experts was stolen by this focal battle, which made many experts who planned to make a perfect debut in the first round a little depressed.
Jiao Xi suddenly became the most popular warrior in the Qin Kingdom. It was said that his Dimensional Universe gained tens of billions of fans in a day!
Of course, this was not because of how charismatic Jiao Xi was, and it had little to do with Lin Zhen. It was entirely because Lin Zhen's reputation in the Qin Kingdom was too bad. Everyone hoped that he could kill Lin Zhen in one fell swoop and vent the anger of the people of the Qin Kingdom.
The huge action made everyone look sideways. Jiao Xi felt that he was a little floating for a while.
It turned out that there were so many benefits to fighting with Lin Zhen. It seemed that this time, he was really famous.
Jiao Xi clenched his fists excitedly and made up his mind. In the first round, he must play his own style perfectly, completely trample Lin Zhen under his feet, and accept the cheers of thousands of people.
