The authenticity of the so-called insider information could not be confirmed for the time being.
Ji Tianxing's guesses and suspicions also needed further confirmation.
This also made him even more determined to participate in the competition.
Only by standing out from the four hundred Godkings of the Three Mountain Hall and heading to the headquarters of the Shang Qing Temple could he find out the truth.
Early in the morning, just as the sun rose from the east.
The deadline set by the Three Mountain Hall had arrived. The four hundred participating Godking experts were about to begin their duels and competitions.
Early in the morning, five hundred elite guards arrived at the scene and surrounded the square in front of the palace.
They wore armor and wielded swords. Their expressions were solemn as they maintained order in the plaza.
There was another group of elite guards escorting a white-haired Peak Divine King and four Upper Divine King elders to the square in front of the palace.
Through the discussions of the others, Ji Tianxing learned the identity of the white-haired elder. He was the vice hall master of the Three Mountain Hall.
The vice hall master oversaw the selection competition this time, and the four elders personally hosted and supervised it.
The Three Mountain Hall had not held such an event for close to ten thousand years, so they lacked experience.
However, the most basic fairness and impartiality still needed to be guaranteed.
Before the competition began, as usual, the vice hall master spoke a bunch of high-sounding words to encourage the four hundred participating Godkings to do their best and perform well.
After that, the two elders announced the rules and methods of the competition.
After the rules were explained, the competition began quickly.
For the sake of fairness, the four hundred participating Godking experts were divided into two hundred groups by drawing lots. They would compete in pairs.
The drawing of lots was supervised by the vice hall master and carried out by the four elders.
Not only were the several hundred participating Godkings unable to find fault with it, but Ji Tianxing did not see any problems either.
Of course, he did not care too much about whether the competition was fair or not.
In any case, defeating all his opponents and becoming one of the top hundred elites was as easy as flipping his hand to him.
…
After the complicated and tedious drawing of lots ended, the competition began quickly.
The elite Godkings whose names were called flew up to the high platform and dueled in front of everyone.
That high platform with a circumference of 100 thousand feet had long been set up with a powerful array formation to ensure that when Divine King powerhouses fought inside, it would not affect the people in the plaza.
As rumbling sounds rang out, the two Godkings began to fight on the high platform.
They each displayed what they were good at and used all types of divine abilities and consummate skills with all of their strength. They fought until divine light flickered, heavenly flowers rained down, and loud noises shook the heavens.
The nearly four hundred Godkings participating in the competition, as well as the vice hall master and the four elders, were all seriously watching the battle on the stage.
In particular, the Godkings watched with rapt attention. From time to time, they would even discuss and cheer.
Ji Tianxing, on the other hand, was not interested at all. He stood in the crowd with an indifferent expression, completely inconspicuous.
Before long, a victor was decided between the two Divine Kings on the stage.
One of them was knocked back and suffered some light injuries. He crashed into the great formation at the edge of the arena and was considered to have lost.
The loser's face was filled with dejection as he left the high platform with an embarrassed expression.
The winner was grinning from ear to ear, enjoying the envious and admiring gazes of many Divine Kings.
Soon after, the second pair of Godkings ascended the high platform and also began to compete.
The situation was about the same as the first pair of Godkings. These were also two sixth stage realm middle-level Godkings. Even though the battle was extremely intense, their performance was average and not too dazzling.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the victor was decided between the two Godkings.
The two of them looked to be evenly matched and neither of them were injured. But one of them was knocked back and bumped into the defensive array at the edge of the arena and was considered to have lost.
The Godking who was judged to have lost by the elders left the high platform very unwillingly. The winner was secretly feeling lucky.
Just like this, as time flowed by, pair after pair of Godking experts successively ascended the high platform to battle.
Because of the restrictions of the rules, the duration of each battle was not long. The shortest was slightly over ten breaths of time and the longest was around half a quarter of an hour. The victor was decided.
Even though most of the battles appeared dull and uninteresting, but there were also many brilliant battles which won the cheers of the several hundred Godkings.
The vice hall master and the four elders watched the entire process seriously. They seemed to be rather satisfied with the abilities and performance of their subjects.
Finally, a day passed.
When the 160th pair of Godkings ascended the stage, it was Ji Tianxing's turn to ascend the stage.
His opponent was also a young Godking with outstanding talent who possessed sixth stage realm abilities.
When the two of them landed on the high platform and stood still, the entire audience's eyes gathered on them. Immediately, there were people whispering to each other.
The vice hall master and the four elders also exchanged glances. Evidently, they already had a card up their sleeves and already had an answer.
From the looks of the two people's abilities, Ji Tianxing already had victory in his grasp.
His opponent, that young Godking, realized this point and his expression turned ugly as he spat out a bitter taste.
He was clear that he was bound to lose but he could not not surrender without a fight.
No matter what, he had to fight and exchange a few moves before he was defeated by his opponent. Only then would he not lose face.
"Watch out!"
In order to seize the initiative, the young Godking gave a cold cry and took the initiative to attack Ji Tianxing.
But Ji Tianxing stood on the spot without any intention of dodging.
It was until the young Godking released a sky full of divine technique light shadows, bringing along torrential divine flames and lightning to kill in front of him that he raised his fists and punched out fiercely.
"Kaboom!"
In the next moment, a huge golden fist radiance shattered the sky full of divine light and lightning and sent the young Godking flying backwards. He crashed heavily onto the defensive array at the edge of the stage.
A deafening loud sound reverberated in the air above the stage and did not dissipate for a long time.
After a while, the sky full of divine light dissipated.
Ji Tianxing stood still on the spot with an indifferent expression.
As for that young Godking, his face was already ghastly pale. He leaned on the defensive array and tried his best to suppress the chaotic divine power.
The vice-hall master, the four elders, and all the Godkings were stunned by this sight.
Many people had guessed that he would win but no one had expected him to win so easily!
After a while, an elder regained his senses and hurriedly announced loudly, "This battle, Su Juechen wins!"
This elder's voice reverberated throughout the entire arena and instantly, many people's spirits were lifted.
Especially those who had gathered their gazes on Ji Tianxing and were filled with shock, doubt and guesses. They immediately got the answer and their eyes lit up.
"Su Juechen? It's really him? "
"Just now I felt that he was very similar to that Su Juechen. I didn't expect it to really be him!"
"Didn't that fellow leave the Three Mountain City and disappear for almost ten thousand years? Why is he back? "
"I haven't seen him for ten thousand years and his strength has actually grown to such a stage?"
"His opponent is at least a Sixth Heaven Realm Godking but he was injured by him in one move. This is too terrifying."
"Su Juechen had a grudge with a few aristocratic families in the city back then. After being ostracized, he was forced to leave the Three Mountain City.
Now that he dares to come back, could it be that he wants to avenge himself? "
"Based on his current performance, it should be so!"
