Generally speaking, if a person wanted to rise from a small place to make a name for himself in a big place, he would have to rely on his own efforts to stand out.
And if a young expert with exceptional talent really appeared in a small place, some of the major powers, including the royal family, would also extend an olive branch to him, but this kind of situation rarely happened.
Because it was rare for such people to appear.
The Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, as a high-rank Celestial Kingdom, actually ordered the King Mansions under its rule to recruit the most outstanding young powerhouses under the age of 100.
On the surface, it seemed as though the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was only looking for talents.
However, Duan Ling Tian could vaguely sense something was amiss.
Things shouldn't be that simple.
If the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was truly thirsty for talent, they would not have limited the age of the young powerhouses. After all, there were some young powerhouses who were slightly over a hundred years old who were much more talented than the young powerhouses under a hundred years old.
Most importantly, the King Qin's Mansion in the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom is also looking for young powerhouses below the age of 100. "
"Is King Qin's Mansion going to bring the top ten contestants of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties to the capital of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom to compete with the young experts under the age of 100 from the other King Mansions of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom?"
As Duan Ling Tian continued to listen, he learned more.
A month later, the ten most outstanding young powerhouses under the age of 100 would gather in the Imperial Palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Moreover, there would be a martial competition to determine the strongest fifty people.
It was precisely because of this that he felt:
In the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties organized by the King Qin's Mansion under the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, the young experts who made it to the top 10 would be brought to the Imperial Palace in the capital of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom to compete with the young experts under the age of 100 from the other King Mansions under the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian's ears perked up.
At the same time, a voice rang from outside. "This time, the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom isn't the only one who's chosen. Even the intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdoms and low-rank Celestial Kingdoms will select some young powerhouses who are younger than 100 years old."
"Intermediate Celestial Kingdoms will select the 30 strongest young experts under the age of 100. Low Celestial Kingdoms will select the 20 strongest young experts under the age of 100."
As soon as this voice was heard, it immediately caused the entire restaurant to fall into a deathly silence.
After a while, someone asked, "How do you know?"
"Mid-rank and low-rank Immortal Kingdoms will also select young experts who are less than a hundred years old? I thought the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was the only one doing it. "
"Why are there so few spots for intermediate and inferior Immortal Kingdoms?"
…
More and more people voiced their doubts.
The owner of the voice from before continued, "Judging from your expressions, I don't think you have heard that there will be a Wasteland Grand Competition in a year's time, right?"
The Grand Contest of the Wasteland is jointly organized by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. The participants are the most outstanding young experts under the age of 100 from the Celestial Kingdoms around the Wasteland. There are 50 spots for high-rank Celestial Kingdoms, 30 spots for intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdoms, and 20 spots for low-rank Celestial Kingdoms.
It's said that the best participants in the Grand Contest of the Wasteland will be given a chance to join the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. "
…
As soon as that person's voice fell, the restaurant fell into a dead silence once again. No one made a sound for a long time.
"The Wasteland?
The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland? "
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes slightly. At the same time, a map slowly unfolded in his mind.
He had obtained this map from the Lyu Clan in Qi Lyu City in the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. He had obtained the map through a Memory Celestial Talisman. Therefore, after he studied the map, it became part of his memory.
"This map covers a vast area. The south of the map is a barren mountain, and the north of the barren mountain is the Wasteland.
There are 373 Celestial Kingdoms around the Wasteland. 39 of them are high-rank Celestial Kingdoms, 125 intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdoms, and the rest are low-rank Celestial Kingdoms.
The Wasteland is vast, but it doesn't belong to any Celestial Kingdom. In fact, the Wasteland is surrounded by high-rank Celestial Kingdoms!
The Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect … The three Celestial Sects marked on the map must be the Three Major Celestial Sects. "
…
Subsequently, the voices that resonated in the restaurant's lobby confirmed Duan Ling Tian's speculation.
The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were indeed the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
A year later, the Wasteland Grand Contest would be held in the Wasteland.
At that time, the royal families of the various Celestial Kingdoms around the Desolate Region would bring their most outstanding young experts under the age of a hundred to participate in the competition. None of the Celestial Kingdoms would be absent.
This was because the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland had sent invitations to the 373 Celestial Kingdoms around the Wasteland.
At that time, if any Celestial Kingdom was absent, they would definitely be hated by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
In the history of the Wasteland, similar incidents had happened before.
The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were much more powerful than Celestial Kingdoms. Even high-rank Celestial Kingdoms could not compare to them.
In the Devata Realms, Celestial Sects were much more powerful than high-rank Celestial Kingdoms.
For example, the sects in the various Celestial Kingdoms that were weaker than the Imperial family would not be called Celestial Sects since they were not qualified to be called Celestial Sects.
'The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland are much more powerful than high-rank Celestial Kingdoms … I wonder if they're stronger than the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect …'
After learning about the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as a beautiful figure appeared in his mind. Apart from that, he remembered the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect as well.
Previously, he had left King Qin's Mansion because the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had sent someone to kill him.
'Since the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom is a high-rank Celestial Kingdom, I should be able to find information about the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect in the capital of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom … I should also look for information about the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.'
With this thought in mind, Duan Lingtian made up his mind.
Subsequently, the group of people in the restaurant's lobby basically revolved around the Wasteland Grand Tournament. Moreover, most of them were talking about the young experts under the age of 100 that they knew were recruited by a certain King's Mansion.
However, Duan Lingtian was not interested in what they were talking about at all.
"Huan 'er, don't be in such a hurry. Eat slowly … If these dishes aren't enough, I'll ask them to serve more."
Duan Ling Tian's attention returned to Huan 'er. Huan' er was still devouring the delicacies on the table like a whirlwind. One could see the number of dishes on the table dwindling at an alarming rate.
The empty plates on the table were stacked up to the height of a seven-year-old child.
"Mmm …"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Huan 'er continued wolfing down the dishes. She only responded to Duan Lingtian briefly before she ignored Duan Lingtian.
"What a little glutton."
Duan Lingtian shook his head with a smile on his face.
After Huan 'er finished the dishes on the table, Duan Lingtian asked the waiter to serve another two tables of dishes.
After Huan 'er finished the last two tables of dishes, she wiped her greasy mouth and rubbed her stomach. "Not bad. I'm 60% full. Let's call it a day. We'll continue tonight. "
"60% full?"
Upon hearing Huan 'er's words, Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched.
If he did not know Huan 'er had the bloodline of a Celestial Beast, he would have thought Huan' er was a monster.
After Huan 'er put on her veil and hat again, Duan Lingtian paid the bill and left the restaurant, he could sense the waiter looking at him and Huan' er as though they were monsters.
Duan Lingtian really wanted to turn around and explain that he did not eat anything and that Huan 'er was the only one who ate.
Boom!
Rumble!!
…
Just as Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er were about to look for an inn to stay in, an earth-shaking rumble rang from the end of the road.
In the next moment, Duan Lingtian saw another group of Celestial Beasts.
Nine mighty and strange looking Immortal Beasts were pulling a roofless carriage as they whistled through the air. They were so fast that they were not inferior to King Qin's carriage that he had seen in King Qin's Mansion.
'These Celestial Beasts are as strong as Violet Sun Golden Celestials as well.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
With this thought in mind, Duan Lingtian shifted his gaze to the roofless carriage.
A woman dressed in an orange-red dress could be seen sitting on the carriage. Although she was beautiful, she was far from being as beautiful as Huan 'er. Based on the arrogance and haughtiness in her eyes, it was not difficult to tell that she was a spoiled young lady from a wealthy family.
When Duan Lingtian looked at the woman on the roofless carriage, the woman noticed his gaze as well. Her eyes lit up as soon as she met his gaze.
She looked like a hungry wolf that had just seen its prey.
However, since the nine Celestial Beasts were moving at a fast speed, the roofless carriage passed by Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er in just a blink of an eye. Duan Lingtian did not look at the woman as he continued to walk forward with Kerr.
"Hm?"
Duan Lingtian frowned slightly.
This was because he had heard the rumbling of the nine immortal beasts as they turned their heads and charged towards him. At the same time, he had also sensed something.
