In a pavilion five kilometers away from the Great Qian Ruins.
Naturally, the ripening of the Vermilion Fruit could not be hidden from the Genying Zhenjun here.
This meant that a test for the paragons had officially begun!
Outside the pavilion, Genying Zhenjun from various factions and sects of the North Region could still maintain their composure. However, there was a hint of nervousness in the depths of their eyes.
There was not much interaction between the Genying Zhenjun.
On the contrary, the Perfected Lords in the pavilion were much more relaxed.
These Genying Zhenjun were all from the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans and were extremely confident in the paragons of their respective sects.
Even if they could not defeat their opponents, they would be able to escape unscathed.
These Genying Zhenjun were relaxed as they sipped their tea and commented.
"Everyone, why don't you guess who will be the number one Perfected Being of the North Region for the Vermilion Fruit this time round?"
The Perfected Lord of the Murong clan waved his folding fan gently. He was extremely handsome and exuded a feminine aura as he asked slowly.
The Perfected Lord of Stellar Luna Sect said indifferently, "Actually, everyone knows who the number one Perfected Being of the North Region is. Even without the fight for the Vermilion Fruit, it would definitely be Glass Palace's Xi Wuya. "
Instantly, the Genying Zhenjun present went silent when they heard the words' Xi Wuya '.
This was indeed a peerless paragon of Glass Palace's Jin Dan realm!
He had dominated the North Region for many years and had never tasted defeat!
It was said that Xi Wuya had the chance to form a Nascent Soul but did not take that step because he wanted to enter the ancient battlefield and meet the heroes of the world.
The most frightening thing was that this person was not even a hundred years old!
He was way too young.
As long as Xi Wuya wanted to, he could even become a Genying Zhenjun who was not even a hundred years old!
Furthermore, many Genying Zhenjun present knew what was going on.
As long as Xi Wuya advanced to Nascent Soul realm, there was a high chance he could kill them even if he was only at early-stage Nascent Soul realm!
It was only normal for legacy disciples of the nine immortal sects and seven fiend sects to possess the ability to kill those above their level.
The Perfected Lord of the Taba clan was extremely calm. "There's no point in saying that. At the very least, there's no movement from Glass Palace and Xi Wuya. i's probably not interested in the Vermilion Fruit as well."
"If Xi Wuya doesn't come, it's hard to say who will emerge victorious."
Just as the Perfected Lords of the Tuoba clan were discussing, there was a commotion outside the pavilion.
Genying Zhenjun took out some talismans from his storage pouch. Some of the talismans were already shattered beyond recognition.
Genying Zhenjun's arms trembled slightly. His expression darkened as he shook his head and sighed.
When they saw that, the Perfected Lords of the Ten Upper Sects and four gentry clans smiled with mockery in their eyes.
In the Cultivation World, there was a so-called "Life Slip".
When a cultivator stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm and cultivated their Primordial Spirit, they could separate a strand of their Divine Sense and insert it into the Black Spirit Jade to form a unique jade slip. This was the Life Slip.
Life Slips were closely related to cultivators.
Even if they were billions of miles apart, when a cultivator died and their primordial spirit was destroyed, the life slip would still sense it and disperse its divine sense, causing the life slip to shatter.
Therefore, in some major sects, there were pavilions and palaces that stored Life Slips that were specially guarded by cultivators.
Once the life slip is broken, even if the cultivator connected to the life slip is not present, the sect will know that the cultivator is dead!
In one of the four unorthodox groups of Tianhuang Mainland, Chigurumon, a Mighty Figure created a Life Talisman that targeted Perfected Jin Dan based on the Life Slips and it was extremely widespread in the cultivation world.
However, the Life Talisman had an obvious range.
The closer it was to the cultivator, the faster and more accurate the information transmitted by the Life Talisman.
If the Life Talisman was a hundred miles away from the cultivator, there would not be any changes even if the cultivator died.
Right now, the Genying Zhenjun outside the pavilion were holding onto Perfected Jin Dan's Life Talisman!
Those Life Talismans were already shattered.
This also meant that their disciples or successors had all died and were buried in the ruins!
Mystic Firmament Divine Cult's Perfected Lord raised his chin slightly with a haughty expression and said coldly, "You want to get your hands on the Vermilion Fruit with that bit of capability? What a joke! "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
The Perfected Lord of Dark Ghost Sect grinned and revealed a mouthful of rotten yellow teeth, letting out a sinister laugh that resembled the cry of a crow.
"I reckon that those brats won't even be able to get past the otherworldly soldiers in the palace!"
Genying Zhenjun who was in the pavilion laughed with a relaxed expression.
Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord raised a cup of tea and downed it in a single gulp, saying indifferently, "They're just a bunch of fools who don't know what's good for them."
The moment he said that, Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord's expression changed and he swiftly swiped his storage bag, retrieving a Destiny Talisman.
The Life Talisman was already shattered!
"Wha … at!"
Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord watched everything with widened eyes in disbelief.
A moment later, a boundless killing intent burst forth from Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord as he slammed the table and stood up in rage.
The teacup on the table jumped and exploded!
The paragon of Blood Mist Sect who was fighting for the Vermilion Fruit was the legacy disciple he was most proud of.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come personally and even customized a Life Talisman for the latter.
However, he truly had not expected that his legacy disciple would die the moment the fight for the Vermilion Fruit began!
Just Now, he was still mocking Genying Zhenjun who was outside the pavilion. In the blink of an eye, his disciple was already dead – that was the greatest form of mockery.
Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord was so angry that his arms were trembling and he was burning with rage.
Right now, he wanted to charge into the Great Qian Ruins to see who killed his disciple. However, there was no way that Genying Zhenjun would let him off!
The reason why they were seated here was to prevent Genying Zhenjun from interfering.
Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord grit his teeth and surveyed the other Perfected Lords in the pavilion, trying to make out something from their expressions.
Mystic Firmament Divine Cult's Perfected Lord reached out and tapped the table gently, saying leisurely, "Fellow Daoist, don't be angry. It's inevitable for cultivators to die in a fight. Calm down and have some tea."
Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord was about to explode from anger!
How could he be in the mood to drink tea?
Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord grit his teeth in hatred and glared at Mystic Firmament Divine Cult's Perfected Lord, saying coldly, "I think it's a disciple of Mystic Firmament Divine Cult that killed my successor!"
"That might not be the case,"
Mystic Firmament Divine Cult's Perfected Lord sneered.
"Once this is over, I'll seek guidance from you on your Dao techniques!"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The two of them were at odds and neither of them was willing to back down.
Suddenly, Mystic Firmament Divine Cult's Perfected Lord's expression changed and a Destiny Talisman appeared in his palm.
The Destiny Talisman was already shattered.
"Hahahaha!"
Blood Mist Sect's Perfected Lord burst into laughter and mocked, "Your disciple isn't any better!"
Mystic Firmament Divine Cult's Perfected Lord was enraged as he glared at the shattered Destiny Talisman in his palm with a dark expression.
In the pavilion, the other Genying Zhenjun were rather calm. Although they looked calm on the surface, they were gloating internally.
Dragon Tiger Sect's Perfected Lord said in a deep voice, "Both of you, sit down. Now that things have come to this, there's no need to get angry."
"That's right,"
Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect's Perfected Lord said, "For two paragons to die one after another in such a short period of time, it's clear how cruel the fight for the Vermilion Fruit is. I …"
Before he could finish, Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect's Perfected Lord sensed something and his expression froze as he withdrew a Destiny Talisman from his storage bag hurriedly.
The Destiny Talisman was much dimmer but it was still intact.
Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect's Perfected Lord heaved a sigh of relief.
This meant that his successor was severely injured but at the very least, his life was not in danger.
