While Ling Xiao was wholeheartedly cultivating and many people were rushing to the Divine Phoenix Imperial Capital in excited moods, a piece of news spread rapidly.
"The rules of the Dragon Phoenix Selection have changed."
"Changed? What's going on? "
"Actually, it's not a big change either. The main thing is that the martial artists participating in the Dragon Phoenix Selection are restricted in strength. Originally, as long as one's cultivation is above Deva Realm and below thirty years old, it's fine. But now, the lowest cultivation must be Third Grotto-Heaven Realm!"
"What?! Isn't this too sudden? How can there be so many Grotto-Heaven Realm experts? Even below thirty years old? Might as well not hold it. "
"You don't understand this, right? Ever since the Mountain River Martial Soul appeared, the cultivation of the younger generation has improved very quickly, far surpassing the expectations of the Dragon Phoenix Selection's organizers. The last-minute change in the rules this time is also because there are too many people. There's no need to let everyone participate."
"That seems to make some sense too. But we're depressed. We just broke through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm with great difficulty and thought that we could show off our grand plans in this selection. Who could have expected that it would actually be such a result?"
"Actually, not being selected might not be a bad thing. One has to know, this Dragon Phoenix Selection in the first place is to prepare for participating in the White Tiger Continent's White Tiger Tempest Meet. I heard that the White Tiger Continent's Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artists are about the same as our Divine Phoenix Continent's Deva Realm martial artists. With our cultivation, I'm afraid that we'll also lose face if we go."
"Although I'm not reconciled, it seems to make sense."
…
Similar conversations like this sounded out from all over the Divine Phoenix Continent from time to time. Although it made many martial artists feel disappointed, everyone could actually guess it.
Fortunately, the Dragon Phoenix Selection allowed spectators. Therefore, those martial artists who rushed over from afar also did not have to worry about making a trip in vain.
Witnessing this era's most outstanding geniuses was similarly satisfying too.
This news naturally spread to Fallen Phoenix City as well.
Ling Xiao was currently discussing with Feng Qingyan who to bring to participate in the Dragon Phoenix Selection. Originally, they were vexed because there were too many people. Once this rule came down, the two people became relaxed instead.
Although the Heavenly Dynasty Empire was filled with talents, those whose true cultivation had reached the third Grotto-Heaven Realm and above were still not many.
Ling Xiao made a list and found that those who met the requirements were him, Long Chen, Shang Guan Hong, Cold Plum, Hime Myung-kō, the peerless genius Ling Luo sent by the Heavenly Dragon Academy, and the military representatives Hua Fuguang and Hua Liuying. There were eight people in total.
Lan Yu 'er's cultivation had just broken through to the second Grotto-Heaven Realm, so she definitely couldn't do it.
Ying Wuya, Dai Yaoling, and Dai Yuling were only at the First Grotto-Heaven Realm, so they were not qualified.
Therefore, these eight people were the final name list.
After all, the Heavenly Dynasty Empire was just a new empire. Although there were many Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artists, most of them were over 30 years old.
Only these eight people truly met the requirements.
What was worth mentioning was Ling Luo!
This was Ling Xiao's younger brother.
Although he wasn't her biological brother, she recognized him as her godbrother when they were beggars.
After those family members died tragically, only Ling Luo was left.
For such a long time, Ling Xiao had been busy with all kinds of things and did not have time to care about Ling Luo. But he never forgot about all kinds of medicinal pills, cultivation methods, and secret manuals.
It was precisely because of this that Ling Luo's talent, which was originally not considered outstanding, was forcefully raised by Ling Xiao with all kinds of spirit pills and miraculous medicines.
Now, his cultivation already broke through to the Fourth Grotto-Heaven Realm, even more powerful than Lan Yu 'er.
Right now, many people were envious that Ling Luo had such a good older brother. Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for him to grow to this extent today.
"Set off tomorrow, head for the Divine Phoenix Imperial Capital!"
Choosing the people to participate in the Dragon Phoenix Selection, Ling Xiao started cultivating again.
And Lan Yu 'er and the rest who missed the opportunity this time would also follow to the Divine Phoenix Imperial Capital to witness this grand event.
After all, such a selection was likely very hard to see again.
This was a very special occasion.
Actually, there were many people who thought the same as them.
Since a few days ago, a large number of martial artists rushed to the Divine Phoenix Imperial Capital in advance.
Although the imperial capital was very large, the accommodation was still limited.
Therefore, the imperial family issued an order that martial artists entering the imperial capital, the lowest cultivation had to be Ninth Firmament Deva Realm.
This way, a large number of martial artists were blocked outside the door.
Fortunately, the mystic world had its own special technology.
Making use of the power of laws, it could transmit the projection of the selection venue throughout the entire Divine Phoenix Continent, all places that could receive the power of laws.
This way, although they could not watch the battle live, they would also not miss this grand event.
The place where the Dragon Phoenix Selection was held was precisely the Killing Dragon Forest that Ling Xiao went to in the past.
Because there was an array barrier here, even if the battle was more intense, it would also not affect the lives of the imperial capital's commoners.
Furthermore, the area that this place occupied was very large and could accommodate even more spectators to watch the battle.
On the day that the Dragon Phoenix Selection started, the radius of several dozen miles around Killing Dragon Forest was filled with a dense mass of people.
Fortunately, these were all martial artists and possessed vision that surpassed mortals. Otherwise, standing several dozen miles away, what could they still see?
Of course, there were also martial artists who were smarter. When they really could not squeeze in, they simply took out a magic treasure that could receive the projection of the power of laws and hid in the inn, eating and watching the show. It was also a kind of enjoyment.
At this time, the noisy crowd emitted a sound that resembled the buzzing of flies.
They were all discussing and debating.
After all, to these people who did not have the qualifications to participate, arguing about which geniuses could stand out in this Dragon Phoenix Selection was also a way to participate.
Of course, they could only debate and not fight.
In the sky, the righteous divine guards were in charge of guarding. If anyone dared to cause trouble below, they would immediately be expelled from the city.
At this time, the power of the righteous divine guards could be seen.
Originally, they should be doing this and not helping a certain Monarch to kill other martial artists.
Time slowly passed. Everyone was anticipating, anticipating the arrival of night.
Waiting was always very unbearable. The Dragon Phoenix Selection officially started at seven o 'clock in the mystic world.
This kind of time was a method that had recently become popular and came from the distant Divine Secrets Continent.
Because it was convenient, it quickly replaced the Divine Phoenix Empire's original method of time.
At this time, it was only three o 'clock, and it was still early in the morning. But in order to occupy a better position, these people had been waiting here long ago.
Anyway, martial artists' energy was generally very good and did not care too much about this. At most, they would just sit there cross-legged and meditate for a while to recover.
However, a few hours of waiting was still very long.
When the sun rose from the east and it was close to seven o 'clock, even the discussion suddenly became much softer. Everyone's eyes were all cast in the same direction —
Kill the Dragon Forest!
Soon, the Dragon Phoenix Selection that they had been anticipating for a long time would be held in this vast forest.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, someone shouted. From the Void in the sky, several figures flew over together.
Some were flying in the air.
Some were riding on flying beasts.
The person in the lead was riding on a jet-black phoenix. His gaze was cold and his aura was powerful. Anyone who approached him could feel the terrifying aura that overflowed from his body.
After this group of people arrived, they directly sat down.
There was a flag that fluttered in the wind, and the words "Phoenix Academy" were written on it.
