Two days later, there was a sea of people outside the group of immortal tombs.
The Grand Competition, which determined the future of Nine Regions, finally officially kicked off. The cultivators of Nine Regions gathered in Plentiful City.
The people directly related to the Grand Competition had been stationed in the City of Immortals in batches a few days ago. Now, most of the people who came were enthusiastic onlookers.
In addition to cultivators, there were more mortals in Plentiful City. After all, cultivators had high and low cultivation base. Those King Pill Yuanying Stage cultivators could eat and sleep in the open. However, cultivators with low cultivation base had to rely on mortals to solve their basic necessities.
Most of the permanent residents of Plentiful City outside the group of immortal tombs were now mortals. They came here from thousands of miles away to provide various services to cultivators and also enjoy the cultivators' feedback. As the Grand Competition approached, there were more and more floating people from all over Nine Regions. There were already millions of mortals. On the day before the Grand Competition began, the place closest to the group of immortal tombs was crowded. Cultivators and mortals were mixed together. On the ground and in the air, there were people everywhere. It didn't matter if you were a Daoist Master of Jindan Stage or a chef in the mortal world, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference in this sea of people.
Naturally, there would be cultivators who complained about the Wanxian League's policy of equal treatment.
In addition to those who were directly related and stationed in advance, the Grand Competition was open to all people in Nine Regions, whether they were cultivators or mortals, righteous path or evil path, and even visitors from outside Nine Regions were also welcome. As long as they entered the City of Immortal through the gate of the group of immortal tombs, they could freely watch all the competitions and even freely use the food and materials. Therefore, at this time, there were even many famine refugees who gathered in Plentiful City, which added a lot of chaos to Plentiful City.
A cultivator who was blocked by the crowd a few miles away from the gate could not help but complain, "Damn, what is the Organizing Committee thinking? Treating cultivators equally is one thing, but how could they even let mortals in? What does this Grand Competition have to do with them? Do they want us, the immortal cultivators, to perform for the mortals? What a scandal! "
As he said that, he resisted the thick and suffocating smell around him — the sweat and breath of mortals, and the greasy smell of some people walking on the street while eating. When mixed together, even he, a Xudan Stage cultivator, could not bear it.
Beside him, his junior brother also complained, "I really don't understand what that fellow called Wang Lu is thinking … I heard that he made everyone suffer a lot during this period of time."
Since Wang Lu became the chief planner, his endless stream of fantastic ideas really made the cultivators of Nine Regions complain incessantly, especially the elite team of two thousand people who were not included in the list of the competition. In order to gain the strength to rival Dixian in a short period of time, Wang Lu had really used all the methods he could use. The controversial cross-dressing was only one of them. Many more creative methods made countless people want to have sex with him … Apart from the remarkable results, he himself also had to bear a great deal of pressure from the public.
Even those who were not qualified to participate in the training knew that there was a Daoist Master King Pill in the Nine Regions who did things that did not follow common sense and caused the wrath of the Heaven and the resentment of the people.
"Damn it, when this Grand Competition is over, I must find him to settle accounts."
"At least waste ten years of his cultivation base!"
"Ten years is too cheap. A lawless person like him must sit quietly in the death chamber for a hundred years!"
As the two were discussing with indignation, suddenly a thick and powerful hand appeared on each of their shoulders.
In an instant, the core energy in the Jade Mansion of the two Xudan Stage cultivators condensed, and their tempered bodies trembled endlessly. The two wanted to look back, but found that their heads had long been out of control.
Then, a buzzing sound came into their ears.
"You two don't even deserve to lick Wang Lu's shoes, so don't talk nonsense here."
"Sir, who exactly are you …"
"Don't ask me who I am. You two don't deserve to know. I just want to tell you that you are lucky to meet me this time. Although Wang Lu is controversial, there are also many people who have received his kindness. If it were someone else, killing you two little Xudan Stage cultivators would be a piece of cake. The rules of Plentiful City can't save your lives. "
As soon as the voice fell, the two Xudan Stage cultivators felt that their shoulders were lightened. The sudden change made their center of gravity unstable, their legs weak, and their whole body's magical power could not be raised. Thus, they plopped down on the ground. However, when they suddenly sat down in the crowd, their fate was self-evident. Soon, a large number of footprints appeared on their bodies.
The two of them were trampled into a sorry state. Although it was not very painful, their cultivator's dignity was naturally gone. They wanted to look up to see the person's figure and face, but they could only capture a majestic and burly figure from the shadows of countless pairs of soles.
"… Why do I think that person is wearing a skirt?"
"Probably because you've been trampled by a heroine in a skirt. By the way, I'm really about to be trampled to death. Come and help me! Ah, which son of a b * tch deliberately stepped on my face? "
—
The little son of a b * tch who deliberately stepped on the two people's faces, with a smirk on his face, slid through the sea of people while holding a silk bag in his hand.
The boy's name was Shu Si, fourteen years old, and he was a refugee in Plentiful City. A few years ago, he came to Plentiful City with a group of traveling merchants. Later, the traveling merchants left, but he stayed and did some short-term work in various shops in the suburbs of the city. Although Shu Si was not tall, his limbs were slender, and his pair of clever hands were the most flexible. Some merchants took pity on him because his parents died when he was young, so they gave him some errands from time to time. But soon people found that although this boy's hands were clever, he was skillful in stealing things. The place where he worked would always inexplicably lose something. It might not be very precious, but it always made the shop unlucky.
Shu Si's hands and feet were nimble. He did not leave any evidence in Plentiful City for more than half a year, but no shop was willing to give him anything. Having lost his proper livelihood, Shu Si simply became a gangster and seriously engaged in the pickpocketing business. He became a disciple of a gangster boss in the suburbs. Relying on his cleverness, he lived a comfortable life.
He always knew who he could touch and who he could not touch. In particular, he saw several of his companions who were blind enough to provoke immortal cultivators. Their limbs were broken on the spot, and even half of their three souls and seven spirits were hooked away. He was even more cautious in doing things. He would rather have less harvest and be sprayed by the gangster boss than be refined into a demonic tool, which was worse than death.
However, in the past two days, the situation in Plentiful City changed. A large number of people came, and the orderly situation in the past was no longer there. Seeing the opportunity, Shu Si boldly made his move and gained some harvest.
Especially on this day when the entrance of the group of immortal tombs was fully opened, the city was filled with people. Many monitoring arrays were overwhelmed and failed. In order to maintain the basic order, the city launched a sealing array, restricting the cultivators from using their cultivation base at will. Thus, these gangsters were even more unrestrained and lawless in the city.
Just like the two Xudan Stage cultivators just now, when it came to strength, they could casually stretch out a finger and crush a hundred Shu Si to death. But now, they could only be stuck in the crowd, and their mustard seed bag was stolen by an ant-like little thief.
"Shu Si, how's the harvest?"
At this time, Shu Si was hiding in a corner, weighing the mustard seed bag. Suddenly, he heard the voice of his companion. He turned around and saw that it was his scoundrel friend. The youth was delighted. He lifted the corner of his gown and saw more than ten brocade pouches that were exquisitely tied inside.
His companion sucked in a mouthful of cold air. "How dare you! These are all cultivator's things, aren't you afraid that they'll track you down and hook your soul? "
Shu Si chuckled. "Who would want to find a cultivator who could hook people's soul? I'm a fool. Don't look at those cultivators who are so high and mighty, in fact, there are many idiots among them. Many of them have cultivated to the point that they became stupid, so they don't have any awareness of defense. You just hide and wait for them to make your move, you'll be fine. "
His companion was envious. "I don't have your courage … But, you can't open these cultivator's things, so what's the use of them?"
"If I can't open them, someone else can. Have you forgotten that dead face in the west of the city? He only accepts cultivator's things. Moreover, once you give them to him, it has nothing to do with you, and absolutely no one will look for you. "
"But dead face went through the door."
Shu Si was suddenly dumbfounded. "Huh? He went through that big stone door? "
The so-called big stone door naturally referred to the entrance of the group of immortal tombs. This door was usually only open to cultivators with the permission of the Excavation Management. As for the mortals of Plentiful City, although they could see the towering magnificent door every day and night, they never had the chance to go in and see its true appearance.
"In the past few days, a lot of people have gone to that big stone door. In addition to dead face, there's also that old Daoist in green and Peach Blossom Lady."
Shu Si was even more dumbfounded. "W-Why did all the people who are willing to harvest leave?" However, the youth immediately rolled his eyes and made a decision. "That's right, I'm going too!"
"You're going too?" His companion was stunned. "What are you going to do? Boss said that no one is allowed to go in. Be careful not to cause trouble and implicate everyone. "
Shu Si spat out, "That useless coward, listen to his fart! He even implicates everyone. When I found the spirit stones and exchanged them with dead face, how come he's not afraid of implicating everyone? I'm going. I heard that the big stone door is full of immortals. If there's an immortal who likes me, even if he doesn't accept me as a disciple, he can just give me two immortal elixirs, and I don't need to be a gangster anymore. "
"In your dreams!"
"Humph, didn't you hear a few days ago in the teahouse, an expert said that if people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?"
"Salted fish can be eaten, but can people eat it?"
Shu Si narrowed his eyes and didn't speak. The taste of human flesh was actually not that novel.
After a while, he said with a smile, "In any case, I'm going. If you follow me, when the time comes, we can become immortals together. But even if you don't follow me, later on, when I become an immortal, I will not forget your benefits."
His companion knew that he had made up his mind, so he no longer tried to persuade him. "Alas, I wish you good luck."
—
Relying on his flexible skill, Shu Si forced his way through the crowded crowd and finally arrived at the entrance of the group of immortal tombs in the evening.
This gate, which had been continuously expanded, was now several miles wide. Its top towered into the sky, like the mouth of a giant prehistoric beast, constantly devouring thousands of creatures.
Shu Si swallowed his saliva in front of the gate and then mixed into the crowd to enter.
Behind the gate was a brand new world.
