Everyone enjoyed the immortal banquet, chatting idly. Namhwang Yunxi introduced many immortal emperors to Qin Wentian, as well as many geniuses with extraordinary statuses. Qin Wentian silently noted them down. Immortal emperors were existences that stood at the peak of the immortal realms. It was precisely this group of people that stood at the peak of authority.
This was especially so for those immortal emperors who controlled vast territories. For example, the three ancient clans of the Southern Regions. One could say that they controlled the vast majority of the Southern Regions and had terrifying influence. Just a slight move from them would cause the entire Southern Regions to tremble.
After the banquet, the beautiful middle-aged woman stood up and invited everyone to the Southern Phoenix Arena of the Namhwang Clan. After that, all the holy maidens and geniuses respectively stood up and headed over.
In the inner regions of the Southern Phoenix Clan, there was an extremely spacious area. There were many Phoenix Pavilions here, and among them, the largest one in the center was the most dazzling. Streams of light flowed around the Phoenix Pavilion, resplendent and resplendent. There seemed to be a powerful formation inscribed on it, exuding a marvelous might.
At this moment, all the geniuses arrived here. Beside each holy maiden of the Namhwang Clan, there were experts that they invited to help them. Beside Namhwang Yunxi, Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Purgatory stood there.
In the surroundings of the Southern Phoenix Arena, many figures silently appeared. These were all old men from the various factions of the Namhwang Clan. They were all paying close attention to this battle. The Namhwang Clan was governed by the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, and although these holy maidens all had the blood of the Southern Phoenix Matriarch flowing in their veins, they were all from different factions of the Namhwang Clan. The holy maidens who could become the Holy Successor of the Southern Phoenix Matriarch might very well determine the potential of that faction.
In the future, whoever ascended to the position of the Southern Phoenix Matriarch would be the ruler of the entire Namhwang Clan. Hence, every hundred years, a Holy Successor would be born.
"Let's go to the Phoenix Arena." Namhwang Yunxi spoke to Qin Wentian and the other two. Immediately, they walked up to one of the thirty-six smaller Southern Phoenix Stages. Immediately, the Shadow of a Phoenix appeared on that Southern Phoenix Stage, surrounding the entire stage. One faction after another walked up to the Southern Phoenix Stage, and although the Shadow of the Phoenix was different in shape, its aura and size were all the same.
"Next, my Namhwang Clan will select nine Holy Maidens to enter the ancestral lands. These nine Holy Maidens will be from the nine factions with the highest battle achievements. The Holy Maidens can participate in the battles, or they can invite their friends to assist them in battle. But remember, the Holy Maidens can borrow the power of the formations of the Southern Phoenix Stage to increase their combat prowess, allowing them to have a combat strength at the peak of the third-level of immortal-foundation. When the Holy Maidens participate in the battles, they must fight against their opponents at the same cultivation level. As for those who assist the Holy Maidens, they must fight with their own strength and are unable to borrow the power of the formations of the Southern Phoenix Stage." At this moment, that beautiful middle-aged woman walked up to the Southern Phoenix Stage and announced.
Qin Wentian glanced at Namhwang Yunxi only to see her smiling back at him.
"You are truly ruthless. You can borrow the power of the formations but I can't. Even so, you still invited me. Look at them, the majority of them only invited second-level and third-level immortal-foundation experts. There's even one who invited a fourth-level immortal-foundation expert. Are you not afraid that I'll drag your battle achievements down?" Qin Wentian stared at Namhwang Yunxi as he spoke.
"Fourth-level immortal-foundation experts can enter the ancestral lands, but they won't be able to participate in this battle. As for third-level immortal-foundation experts, I can borrow the power of the formations to deal with them. As for first-level and second-level immortal-foundation experts, I believe in your combat prowess." Namhwang Yunxi smiled. Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. The Holy Maidens of the Namhwang Clan could borrow the power of the formations to unleash a combat strength at the third-level of immortal-foundation. This meant that the battle would still depend on the Holy Maidens' combat prowess.
The people invited here would be used as support in battle. Naturally, the stronger the person, the more useful they would be. As for after entering the ancestral lands, Qin Wentian temporarily didn't know what he wanted them to do. But most probably, the main task was to protect the Holy Maidens.
"How many battles are there?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Thirty-six battles. Each group has to fight thirty-six battles and they cannot repeat the same battle twice. For the nine groups with the highest battle achievements, the Holy Maidens will be able to bring people into the ancestral lands," Namhwang Yunxi replied.
"I'm sure everyone is clear about the rules. Nanfeng Aoxue, you will be the first to fight. After that, you will take turns to fight." The beautiful middle-aged woman spoke. After that, she soared up into the air, leaving the Phoenix Arena in the center to everyone.
Nanfeng Aoxue stepped out and instantly landed on the arena. Her aura surged as the might of a third-level immortal-foundation expert gushed forth, causing Qin Wentian to sigh in admiration. "Did she really break through to the third-level of immortal-foundation within a hundred years of age?"
"Nope." Namhwang Yunxi shook her head. She stared at Qin Wentian and continued, "The Namhwang Clan will choose thirty-six Holy Maidens within a hundred years. At the time of selection, some of the Holy Maidens have already reached adulthood before they were conferred the title of Holy Maiden. For the battles a hundred years later, they naturally wouldn't be over a hundred years old. There are also some who were conferred the title of Holy Maiden during this period of a hundred years. When the hundred year deadline arrives, they still haven't stepped into the immortal realm and could only push it back a hundred years to participate in the inheritance battle. Nanfeng Aoxue belongs to the former category, while I belong to the latter category. I was conferred the title of Holy Maiden during the middle period of the inheritance battle. If not, I would be the same as Nanfeng Aoxue, participating in the inheritance battle a hundred years later."
"Wouldn't that be an even greater advantage?" Qin Wentian laughed. "However, even if it's over a hundred years later, being able to step into the third-level of immortal foundation is already considered extremely outstanding, right?"
"The Namhwang Clan is an ancient clan with deep foundations. You can't use common sense to evaluate them. For those who stand at the peak, their cultivation speed would naturally be much faster compared to those in the outside world. If I manage to obtain the position of Holy Maiden, I'm afraid you'll have to work harder. If not, I'll leave you in the dust very quickly." Namhwang Yunxi joked.
"Let's wait and see." Qin Wentian didn't mind it as he laughed.
Nanfeng Aoxue chose a faction of Holy Maidens, while the other Holy Maiden stepped out. She borrowed the blood of the ancient phoenix to activate the augmentation formation of the Phoenix Arena, allowing her to possess the aura of a third-level immortal foundation cultivator. The might of their immortal foundations gushed forth as two fearsome Phoenixes manifested in the air. Their Phoenix Immortal Foundations flickered in and out of existence.
"The immortal foundation you established, is it a Phoenix Immortal Foundation as well?" Qin Wentian asked Namhwang Yunxi.
"Naturally, if one has sufficient strength, the Holy Maidens of our Namhwang Clan would all choose to establish a Phoenix Immortal Foundation. But even if the Phoenix Immortal Foundation is of the same grade, the might of the Phoenix Immortal Foundation would naturally be different." Namhwang Yunxi spoke. The Immortal Foundation established by immortal-foundation experts was formed by fusing all of their astral souls and constellations together, ultimately transforming into an Immortal Foundation.
"Relying on augmentation formations to increase one's strength is clearly a disadvantage. The Immortal Foundation of third-level immortal-foundation experts would naturally be much stronger." Qin Wentian silently mused as he watched the battle. Nanfeng Aoxue was like a true Phoenix. With a lift of her hand, the Shadow of a Phoenix could be seen, containing a heaven-shaking might. The gigantic Phoenix Arena was enveloped by a protective screen of light, preventing the shockwaves from the battle from affecting the surroundings.
"Speed, strength, flames, immortal arts and innate techniques, Nanfeng Aoxue holds the absolute advantage. There's no doubt about it." Qin Wentian knew that the victor of this battle would be decided in an instant. And as expected, not long after, Nanfeng Aoxue defeated her opponent, obtaining the first victory.
After her battle ended, she spoke, "My friend still wants to continue fighting."
"Okay." The beautiful middle-aged woman in the air nodded. After that, Zong Zhan stepped out.
Zong Zhan was a Golden Heavenly Warring Condor, possessing the purest bloodline. His combat prowess was extremely high, and it was said that the defense of this purebred demonic beast was comparable to the divine bird, golden-winged roc.
Zong Zhan walked up the Phoenix Arena. Golden battle armor instantly appeared on his body as his golden eyes stared at the surroundings. Although he wanted to fight against the most outstanding geniuses, he temporarily suppressed his urge when he thought of Nanfeng Aoxue. After entering the ancestral lands, there was no need to fear that there wouldn't be a chance for him to fight. He had to first ensure that he would win all thirty-six battles before entering the ancestral lands.
"I think it's better for you guys." Zong Zhan's gaze landed on the holy maiden who was defeated by Nanfeng Aoxue earlier. His words caused the holy maiden to frown. She had invited two helpers and both of them were experts at the same level as her, at the second-level of immortal-foundation. But even so, it would be a little difficult for them to deal with Zong Zhan.
"I'll go." A genius beside the holy maiden walked out. He was a heaven's chosen from a major power in the Southern Phoenix Immortal City. His aura surged as he exuded terrifying might. However at this moment, Zong Zhan's entire body radiated golden light as the might of his immortal foundation was unleashed to the extreme.
"BOOM!" Stepping out, he was like a bolt of golden lightning as he appeared before his opponent. Numerous terrifying Golden Heavenly Warring Condors appeared, intertwining with fearsome law energy. They were like an extremely powerful battle formation, crushing everything in its path.
The countenance of his opponent changed. The might of his immortal foundation gushed forth, akin to the milky way in the nine heavens. Silver-white light cascaded downwards, wanting to engulf his opponent's attack.
"Chi chi …" The Golden Heavenly Warring Condors transformed into a battle formation. Their sky-blotting wings directly slashed apart the silver-white light as they continued flying towards their opponent. Terrifying rumbling sounds rang out as the resplendent golden light shattered everything before slamming into his opponent, causing him to cough out blood.
"How violent." Everyone stared at Zong Zhan. Nanfeng Aoxue was originally very strong and her helpers were also powerful. She instantly obtained two victories.
"Rong Xiao, help me for the third battle." Nanfeng Aoxue spoke to Rong Xiao. Rong Xiao nodded his head. After Zong Zhan retreated from the arena, he walked up and stared at the crowd. His cultivation base was at the second-level of immortal-foundation and his combat prowess was extremely strong.
His gaze landed on Namhwang Yunxi's side as he stared at Qin Wentian. "Brother Qin from the Eastern Region, I wonder how strong you are? Are you willing to spar with me? If Brother Qin doesn't dare to, there's no harm in sending Holy Maiden Yunxi out."
When the holy maiden fought, she had to fight with the same cultivation base as her opponent. But the helpers Namhwang Yunxi invited were all at the first-level of Celestial Phenomenon. This caused many to feel bewildered. Did Namhwang Yunxi really intend to rely on her own strength to enter the ancestral lands?
Although this battle mainly depended on the holy maiden herself, the helpers were still extremely important!
