"There are so many combat puppets." Qin Wentian glanced at the vast area ahead. There were several people currently accepting the challenges of the combat puppets.
"The prefecture lords of the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures are all from the Dongshengxian Gate and this time around, the event was initiated by the Dongshengxian Gate. How would the prefectures dare to not do their best? Look at the immortal-foundation experts patrolling the air, the resources of the prefecture are all being transferred to the Cloud Prefecture City. In addition to the fact that there are so many participants, how could there be a lack of combat puppets?" Mu Yan crossed his arms in front of his chest as he spoke.
"What a grand formation, just like the world I came from. With a single call, hundreds would respond. The Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures is a world that belongs to the Dongshengxian Gate." Jun Mengchen casually spoke. Mu Yan started, his world? This fellow's tone was truly arrogant. He didn't know where his master brought all three of them here from. Could it be that his master wanted to recruit all three of them into his sect?
Mu Yan didn't know that these three could be considered his martial uncles. Also, the Saberlord of Death wanted him to participate in the selection this time around because it wanted to temper him. If he could pass this test, the Saberlord of Death would consider recommending him to join the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
"Cultivation base inspection." Qin Wentian and the others walked to the front of the immortal-foundation experts. Two of them swept their gazes over the four of them and with a wave of their hands, an imprint appeared on the chest area of the four's robes. Qin Wentian had the word '4', indicating that his cultivation base was at the fourth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. Mu Yan had the word '8', Zi Qingxuan had the word '5' and Jun Mengchen had the word '3'.
"Let's go over." One of them spoke. The four of them walked through a passageway in the center and arrived at the combat puppets' area. There were already several people waiting here, all of them were participants of the selection.
"These puppets are so powerful. Regardless of attack or defense, they are all extremely balanced, and can completely be compared to the combat prowess of a Stellar Martial Cultivator. It won't be easy for them to jump levels and challenge these puppets." Someone beside Qin Wentian commented in a low voice.
However, someone at the side glanced at the person who had just spoken and said, "If you're useless, then don't come here and embarrass yourself. Coming here to make up the numbers is just a waste of time. Furthermore, you should know that the selection later on might be life-threatening."
Many people in the surroundings stared at the person who spoke. This person's tone was truly arrogant. There were many experts beside him and each of them exuded an extraordinary aura. Especially two of them, they were like the stars surrounding the moon.
"Not everyone knows their own limits. Many people think that they are very strong, but that is only because they have never seen someone more outstanding than them. By the time they see someone more outstanding, it is already too late. The fact that so many people have come to participate in this selection is to be expected. There is nothing strange about it," said the person beside him calmly.
Qin Wentian also glanced at this group of people. Although the words of this person weren't without reason, his tone was filled with arrogance and disdain. As for the two with the strongest aura, they didn't say anything. They only calmly stared at the combat puppets before them.
"You, step out." The immortal-foundation expert at the front pointed to one of the two. This person had a crown on his head and exuded a heroic aura. Standing in the crowd, he gave off a feeling of a crane among chickens. His eyes gleamed with starlight as he exuded boundless spirit.
He stepped out. With a cultivation base at the sixth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, he directly appeared in front of a seventh-level combat puppet.
"It will be easy for Eternal Wind to defeat this puppet soldier."
"That's only natural. For the selection test of the Cloud Prefecture this time around, Changfeng has already secured a slot."
Many people laughed. At this moment, the young man with the crown on his head had already started fighting against the combat puppet. His constellation flashed as a silvery-white light flashed in the air. A terrifying silvery metallic tempest manifested and in an instant, terrifying divine weapons howled in rage as they slammed into the combat puppet. The combat puppet suffered from the attacks unceasingly, causing rumbling sounds to echo out. If this continued, it would most probably explode from the impact.
"Enough." The immortal-foundation expert in charge of the battle spoke. Only then did the young man named Changfeng stop.
"Wait over there." That immortal-foundation expert pointed to a direction. After that, the young man walked over and calmly stood there. However, he could hear the sounds of discussion in the crowd.
"Changfeng, he's Yi Changfeng, a disciple of the Myriad Sage Sacred Academy. His talent is extremely high." Those with vast experience instantly recognized the young man. The Myriad Sage Academy had many faculties and the Sacred Academy was a place to nurture the most outstanding disciples. This Yi Changfeng was from the Sacred Academy of the Myriad Sage Academy.
"All of you, step out." The immortal-foundation expert who was supervising the battle pointed to a young man who was the moon surrounded by the stars, as well as a few others around him. That young man was clad in white and had black hair that fluttered in the wind. His long hair casually draped over his shoulders, exuding a carefree aura.
"Duan Hong will definitely be more outstanding." Someone spoke. The white-robed young man with black hair walked out. His cultivation base was at the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon and he was facing against an eighth-level ascendant.
Only to see Duan Hong releasing his constellation as numerous terrifying ancient mountains manifested in the air. Each of them was over a hundred meters tall. Duan Hong waved his hands as the ancient mountains slammed downwards, smashing towards the combat puppets. Terrifying rumbling sounds rang out and an instant later, the immortal-foundation expert in charge of the battle called for a halt, allowing Duan Hong to pass. As for the other participants, some were eliminated while others passed.
"Duan Hong of the Duan Clan. It's rumored that his talent is the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Duan Clan."
Regardless of Yi Changfeng or Duan Hong, both of them passed the preliminaries in a domineering manner and stood together with those who passed. There were already over eighty participants gathered there and with a single glance, only one or two of them could be compared to Yi Changfeng and Duan Hong.
After that, the preliminaries continued. The number of people eliminated far exceeded the number of people who passed. Even among the group of arrogant young men from the Myriad Sage Academy, there were still many who were eliminated.
"Those who dared to participate in the preliminaries are all those who are more confident in their combat prowess. Yet, the elimination rate is still so high. Seems like it's truly not easy to filter the participants in the Cloud Prefecture City. But the preliminaries outside the city would be able to eliminate all those who are here to make up the numbers." Qin Wentian silently mused.
At this moment, the immortal-foundation expert in charge of the battle pointed his finger at Mu Yan as he spoke, "The four of you, step out."
Qin Wentian and his companions all had different cultivation bases. They were all assigned to different combat puppets. The combat puppet in front of Qin Wentian was in human form and had sharp eyes. This type of humanoid combat puppet was extremely powerful in both offense and defense.
"BANG!" Qin Wentian rushed out. Terrifying runic light circulated in his palms, incomparably resplendent. He directly blasted out with his palm. That humanoid combat puppet lifted its palm and collided with Qin Wentian. Rumbling sounds of explosions rang out as the arm of the combat puppet directly exploded, spreading to its entire body. However, Qin Wentian instantly retracted his strength and didn't shatter the combat puppet into pieces.
"Pass." The immortal-foundation expert kept the combat puppet away as he spoke. At almost the same instant, Mu Yan, Zi Qingxuan and Jun Mengchen all defeated their combat puppets. This scene caused the gazes of many to be filled with sharpness as they stared at them. Which major power were these four geniuses from? They were actually so powerful.
"Okay, bring them into the city." When Qin Wentian and those who passed the test gathered together, there was an immortal-foundation expert leading the way, directly leading them into the city. Only then did the guards at the city gate change direction, allowing the immortal-foundation experts to enter the city.
Within the city, there were people receiving them. This was a gigantic flying beast that was controlled by an immortal-foundation expert. It was specially made to receive those who passed the initial test.
"Come on up." The immortal-foundation expert on the flying beast spoke. After which, everyone mounted the gigantic flying beast and in an instant, the flying beast let out a shrill cry as it soared into the air, directly soaring through the air space of the Cloud Prefecture.
"Senior, where are we heading to?" Jun Mengchen impatiently asked.
"The holy land of combat in the Cloud Prefecture, the Cloudheaven Arena. The next selection test will be held there." The immortal-foundation expert replied. Everyone stood on the flying beast and stared at the vast ancient city below. It was extremely prosperous, and immortal-foundation experts could be seen everywhere. There were also countless luxurious palaces and pavilions.
The Cloud Prefecture City was the main city of the Cloud Prefecture, it was extremely vast. Even for an immortal-foundation flying beast, it still took them two days to reach their destination. This made everyone understand why there were flying beasts to receive them.
When they arrived at their destination, Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with sharpness. His heart trembled as he stared ahead.
"What a magnificent battle platform." Beside him, Jun Mengchen exclaimed in admiration.
"The Cloudheaven Battle Platform is the most famous battle platform in the Cloud Prefecture. This is the first time I've seen it, it's truly shocking." Mu Yan mumbled, he was also stunned by the scene before him. He had heard of the Cloudheaven Battle Platform many times before, but when he saw it personally, he couldn't help but feel an intense impact.
Numerous battle platforms shone with immortal light, floating above the clouds. Each and every one of them shone with a resplendent light, as though they were indestructible, able to withstand the immense pressure of combat.
Above the entire sky, there were a total of eighty-one battle platforms. These eighty-one battle platforms were collectively known as the Cloudheaven Battle Platforms of the Cloud Prefecture.
In front of the Cloudheaven Battle Platforms, was none other than the Prefecture Lord Palace of the Cloud Prefecture. That vast stretch of palaces extended all the way to the skies, rising higher and higher. At the highest point of the palaces, it seemed as though they were at the same height as the Cloudheaven Battle Platforms. This was simply unbelievable.
Below, was an extremely vast public square. The spectator stands at the highest point only needed to slightly incline one's head and they would be able to see the situation on the Cloudheaven Battle Platform. At this moment, there were countless silhouettes gathered in this area. The selection battle had already begun, and there were thunderous roars echoing out from below.
In the surroundings of the public square, there were troops patrolling the area, not allowing people outside to enter. Ordinary people could only spectate from the outside but because the battle was happening on the Cloudheaven Battle Platforms, they could still see it clearly.
"Next, this place shall be the battlefield for all of you." An expert riding on a flying beast pointed to the Cloudheaven Battle Platforms as he spoke to the spectators. Beside them, there were even more flying beasts flying over. Evidently, more and more experts were being guided here. If this continued on, even after the preliminaries, the number of participants would still be astronomical. All the demon-level geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture were here!
