"Not bad, there's no problem with the merit points, and they meet the requirements. Next, let's check the merit points one by one," Mo Tianxuan said.
More than fifty people presented their identity badges one after another to verify their merit points.
Finally, the results were out.
Fifty-three people had more than four million merit points.
Five people had exactly four million merit points, including Su Yu, Bing Wuxin, and Gongsun Wuxie.
Tianyu and the others couldn't help but sneer at the subtle results.
There were only fifty places, and the extra people were obviously disqualified.
Senior Brother Tang's expression softened slightly, and he cast a cold smile at Su Yu. In the end, as he had said, Su Yu would have to wait for another hundred years.
Senior Brother Liu chuckled. "Junior brother, it seems like your merit points aren't enough, and you'll have to borrow from a woman."
Su Yu furrowed his brows. Accumulating four million merit points in half a year was already very difficult.
He didn't expect that it would still be insufficient.
Bing Wuxin and Gongsun Wuxie also didn't expect such a result, and they said in surprise, "In the past, there were less than forty people who managed to accumulate four million merit points. Only this time, how could there be so many?"
The number of merit points distributed by the sanctum every year was fixed. Usually, no more than forty disciples who entered the sanctum within ten years could get four million merit points.
The only explanation was that some people had bought a large number of merit points in a short time.
There were at least ten people who had managed to squeeze into the top fifty through purchasing. This was the reason why Su Yu and the others had been pushed out of the top fifty.
It must be because of the chaotic thoughts of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands recently, which made many people feel uneasy, and they were trying their best to obtain merit points in order to fight for the Glittering Jewel Wonderland before the crisis arrived.
Su Yu, who had been fully confident of entering the Glittering Jewel Wonderland, was now excluded.
Mo Tianxuan glanced at Su Yu, satisfaction flickering in her eyes.
Instead of letting Su Yu enter the Glittering Jewel Wonderland, it would be better for him to stay in the Red Blood Palace, where she could keep an eye on him.
Since Bing Wuqing wasn't here, she could search his soul again, and she believed that she would surely discover many secrets.
"Okay, since the results are out, the top fifty should prepare themselves and follow me to the Purple Cloud Palace," Mo Tianxuan said. This year's Fengyun Great Meet would be held by the Purple Cloud Palace.
Tianyu grinned, which meant that he didn't have a chance.
"Wait!" Su Yu said.
Mo Tianxuan stopped in her tracks and looked at Su Yu calmly, like a cat staring at a mouse in her palm. "What's the matter?"
"Dare I ask Palace Mistress Mo, how many rounds of selection are there in the Glittering Jewel Wonderland?" Su Yu asked.
Palace Mistress Mo replied calmly, "It's obviously two selections. Our faction's 4,000,000 merit points are just the first selection, while the Wind and Cloud Meet is the second selection. It's only by passing both selections that one can be recommended into the Red Blood Palace."
Su Yu asked, "Palace Master Mo, why are you so confident that all of the fifty people you brought with you can pass the second selection?"
The Wind and Cloud Meeting of Geniuses was undoubtedly a gathering of experts. Even Mo Tianxuan could not guarantee that the 50 people she brought would be able to make it to the top 100.
However, Mo Tianxuan seemed to have expected that Su Yu would say such a thing, and with a teasing look in her eyes, she said, "I don't need you to remind me about this. Among the fifty people, there will surely be a few who won't make it to the top hundred. This is my intention, and my aim is to leave some empty spots for the few great factions under my jurisdiction."
Otherwise, if the Red Blood Palace monopolized all the quotas and didn't leave a single one for the eight great factions, they would surely complain about it.
It had been like this in the past, and it had become a common practice.
Bing Wuxin and the others furrowed their brows. Would all of their efforts go to waste?
"If you don't have anything else to say, you can withdraw and cultivate peacefully. If you are still disciples in the next 100 years, you might still have a chance," Mo Tianxuan said. She was quite pleased that she had made things difficult for Su Yu.
However, Su Yu replied calmly, "Palace Mistress Mo, do you really think that only a few people will fail to make it to the top 50?"
When he said this, the top 50 people who had been chosen didn't hesitate at all.
Did he mean that their power was too weak?
Mo Tianxuan's eyes flickered. "Oh? Do you have any opinion? "
"I don't have any opinion, but I have a prediction," Su Yu said. Su Yu said, "Recently, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands are in a state of chaos. Even the disciples of my sanctum are trying their best to gather enough merit points to go to the Glittering Jewel Wonderland. May I ask if the Purple Cloud Palace has thought of that? May I ask whether the many hidden geniuses in Tianya City have thought of this? May I ask whether the great factions under your jurisdiction have thought of this? "
"If Palace Mistress Mo holds the same opinion as the previous ones, I'm sure that there will be more than a few disciples who will fail to make it to the top 100!"
Mo Tianxuan and the other geniuses had been waiting to watch a good show, but after hearing this, their expressions became more or less solemn.
Indeed, this year's Glittering Jewel Wonderland was in a very sensitive period.
Firstly, the human race had just experienced the great war between humans and ghosts a hundred years ago, and they were still fearful of it.
Secondly, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands had been in chaos recently. Everyone had a premonition that a crisis was imminent, and they were all making ample preparations.
The competition in the Glittering Jewel Wonderland this time was much more intense than before.
In the past, there were less than 40 people who had fulfilled the requirement of four million merit points, but today, there were 60.
If they didn't take precautions, they would surely make a mistake.
Mo Tianxuan squinted her eyes and stared at Su Yu. "What's your opinion?"
They could only bring 50 people each time. If they brought too many people, they would be suspected of monopolizing all the quotas, which would easily arouse criticism and dissatisfaction from the factions under their jurisdiction.
"It's not really an opinion, but I think it's never wrong for the factions to hold back." Su Yu wore a stern look. "Although we, who have fulfilled the requirement of four million merit points, can't join the 50 people, we can still be substitutes. If any senior brother has a headache or fever, we can replace him at the last minute."
Substitutes? Mo Tianxuan's eyes flickered. This method was somewhat shameless, but it was very effective.
What Su Yu meant was that when the current 50 disciples were about to be defeated in the Wind and Cloud Great Meet, they could pretend to be unwell and leave on their own accord, replacing them as substitutes.
The rules of the Wind and Cloud Great Meet had never allowed substitutes at the last minute.
But, it wasn't prohibited either.
Hearing this, the rest of the disciples didn't look too pleased.
The Wind and Cloud Great Meet was a top-notch competition at the level of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands, and the competition was fair and aboveboard. Victory was victory, and defeat was defeat. If such a substitute system were to spread, it would damage their reputation.
"Palace Master, I object. Our Red Blood Palace relies on our prestige to intimidate the factions under our jurisdiction. If we do such a shameless thing, how can we maintain our foothold in the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands?" Senior Brother Liu was the first to object.
Su Yu didn't even look at him, and calmly said, "Prestige? What intimidates the factions is one's power. If the outstanding disciples in the faction miss out on opportunities, it will cause the overall power to decline, and the factions under our jurisdiction won't obey us. Senior Brother, you're putting the cart before the horse. "
Prestige wasn't something that could be determined by one's moral character. What was most important was one's power.
If one didn't have the power to crush them, who among the 16 great factions would be willing to submit to the Red Blood Palace and the Purple Cloud Palace?
Senior Brother Liu cast a disdainful glance at him, as if to say, "What do you know?"
Senior Brother Liu cupped his hands at Mo Tianxuan and said, "Palace Master, please don't believe Su Yuxian's slanderous words and tarnish the Red Blood Palace's reputation."
However, Mo Tianxuan's beautiful eyes were fixed on Su Yu. She wore a faint smile as she said, "I think what he said makes a lot of sense."
Mo Tianxuan had always done things her own way, and her actions were unexpected and beyond the rules.
Su Yu's suggestion was actually very much to her liking.
What was a mere reputation worth in the face of fighting for power for the sect?
"That's a good idea. I like it very much." Mo Tianxuan smiled and revealed a charming expression. She stared at Su Yu and said, "Congratulations, you've convinced me. However, I'll have to change the suggestion a little. It's too deliberate to be a substitute on the surface. Before anything happens officially, all of you will follow me as my personal servants, including you."
Meeting Mo Tianxuan's gaze, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling about this.
Personal servant? What is this woman up to this time?
"Hehe, it's decided then. Fifty official contestants, and the remaining ten will follow me as substitutes." Mo Tianxuan announced on the spot. "Now, let's go."
Mo Tianxuan raised her hand and grabbed, tearing a dark space crack in the Void of the main hall.
"Enter quickly, it can transport you ten million miles away." Mo Tianxuan's palm was in a grabbing position, as if she was supporting the five cracks.
Su Yu glanced into the cracks and was secretly surprised.
"Space tunnel!" He wasn't the only one who was surprised.
The so-called space tunnel was a tunnel that connected two spatial points.
Normally, there would be formation masters who connected two spatial points through special means to form a space transportation portal.
However, Mo Tianxuan could casually create a temporary space tunnel with just one hand.
This was a technique that only Mortal Fairies were proficient in!
Although Mo Tianxuan's cultivation wasn't at the Mortal Fairy Realm, some of her techniques were comparable to a Mortal Fairy's!
She was indeed the strongest All Creation expert below the Mortal Fairies.
Su Yu had a new understanding of this woman's strength.
The group of people didn't dare hesitate and stepped into the crack nervously.
Su Yu was about to step forward when he heard Mo Tianxuan say, "Su Yuxian, stay behind!"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. When he looked back, he caught a glimpse of Mo Tianxuan's playful gaze.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Yu decided to stay behind.
Bing Wuxin looked at Mo Tianxuan in surprise. Her intuition told her that Mo Tianxuan seemed to be targeting Su Yu.
"You can leave first. I'll be there shortly," Su Yu said.
Bing Wuxin thought for a moment. With Mo Tianxuan's character, she wouldn't do anything sneaky to harm Su Yu.
"Alright." Bing Wuxin nodded and stepped into the crack with Gongsun Wuxie.
Soon, only Mo Tianxuan and Su Yu were left in the main hall.
Mo Tianxuan waved her hand, and the crack in the space closed slowly. She waved her sleeves lightly and sealed the whole hall's door.
In this way, no matter what happened in the hall, the outside world wouldn't know.
"Haha, only the two of us are left, Su Yuxian." Mo Tianxuan stood up slowly from the main seat.
Su Yu didn't see any movement, but he felt his vision go black. Mo Tianxuan had teleported in front of him. Their eyes met, and they were only a few inches apart.
Su Yu looked at the cold and elegant face that was almost touching. Her delicate skin was clear, and he could even smell the faint fragrance from her.
Su Yu didn't look happy at all at such an intimate scene.
Mo Tianxuan extended her little finger and lifted Su Yu's chin. Her eyes shone with a faint smile. "Why do you think I asked you to stay behind?"
Su Yu's face was calm. Since there was no one around, there was no need for him to pretend. He said calmly, "In any case, it's not to flirt with a disciple like me."
