On the flying beast, the geniuses stared at the Cloudheaven Arena only to hear Duan Hong asking, "What do we have to do to pass the selection test? What are the rules?"
"The rules are very simple. Do you see the battle halos of those experts on the Cloudheaven Arena?" The immortal-foundation expert pointed to the Cloudheaven Arena as everyone nodded their heads. Almost everyone had a resplendent battle halo around them. Some were strong, some were weak. The stronger the battle halo, the more resplendent it would be.
"The strength of the battle halos varies. On the Cloudheaven Arena, the battle halos would be born naturally. For those who won, they would be able to devour the battle halos of their opponents, stacking them on themselves. The weakest would be a 10 meter battle halo, a 100 meter battle halo, a thousand meter battle halo, and even stronger ones." That immortal-foundation expert continued, "This selection test will last for eighty-one days. After eighty-one days, we will choose those with the strongest battle halos."
"Is it a chaotic battle of cultivation levels?" Someone asked. If this was the case, those with lower cultivation bases would be at a great disadvantage.
"No, those with a lower cultivation base can challenge those with a higher cultivation base. If they win, not only would they be able to devour the battle halos of their opponents, the Cloudheaven Arena would also bestow additional colors to their battle halos. For those with a higher cultivation base, they cannot take the initiative to challenge those with a lower cultivation base." The immortal-foundation expert continued, "Look at the vast public square below, there are countless silhouettes. Other than those spectating immortal-foundation experts, the others might all be your opponents. Also, there will be more and more people coming. If you want to win, it won't be easy. Go on."
"Mhm." Everyone nodded their heads as they flew towards the vast public square. Below, the battle qi on the Cloudheaven Arena seethed.
Qin Wentian and the three of them walked side by side, only to hear Mu Yan laughing, "The rules of this battle are truly direct. The strong plunder the weak, and they have to continuously defeat their opponents before they can plunder enough battle qi to become the final victor. But once they are defeated, their battle qi would be devoured, and they would have to start all over again. This is a battle that can only be won, not lost."
"Mhm, once we are defeated, the pressure would be immense." Qin Wentian nodded. After being defeated, there was still the simplest method, and that was to directly challenge those with resplendent battle halos and plunder their battle halos. However, for those with strong battle halos, it was already a representation of their strength. How could it be so easy to plunder their battle halos?
"Fortunately, the probability of us being defeated in the same realm is very small." A wild smile flickered in Jun Mengchen's eyes. His words contained a strong sense of self-confidence. Indeed, to the three of them who came from the Heavenly Talisman Realm, it was extremely difficult to find someone who could defeat them at the same level unless that person was a demon-level genius like them.
"This fellow is even more arrogant than Changfeng." Someone at the side glanced at Jun Mengchen. There were so many geniuses in the Cloud Prefecture. Yi Changfeng and the others believed that he would be able to secure a spot in the top one thousand, but they didn't dare to say that no one in the same cultivation level could defeat him. After all, this selection was held in the entire Cloud Prefecture. There were countless geniuses. You might be strong, but there were others who were even more monstrous.
The Yunzhou is far too big. Not to mention the most dazzling Heaven's Prides, there are countless hidden geniuses.
"By the way, Mu Yan, which day of the selection battle is today?" Qin Wentian suddenly asked. The selection battle was held for 81 days.
"It's already the eighth day. We can be considered to be early." Mu Yan replied. "For those who came late, they would have to directly challenge those who have already obtained powerful battle qi. That way, it would be faster, but the difficulty would be higher as well."
As they spoke, their silhouettes had already landed on the public square. The experts around them were as common as the clouds. They were either immortal-foundation experts or geniuses who wanted to participate in the selection battle.
"If we are late by too much, I'm afraid we wouldn't have any chance at all." An immortal-foundation old man laughed. Qin Wentian and the others turned their gazes to him as they asked, "Senior, why do you say so?"
"Don't you guys know that the battle qi in the Cloudheaven Arena has the ability to amplify one's combat prowess? The stronger the battle qi, the more terrifying your combat prowess would be. If you can condense a 10,000 meter battle qi, your combat prowess would increase by ten times. At the end, for those with less battle qi, your accumulations wouldn't be able to surpass those before you. For those with exuberant battle qi, it would be extremely difficult for you to defeat them." That immortal-foundation old man smiled as he reminded, his words causing Qin Wentian and the others to start. After which, they replied, "Many thanks for senior's reminder."
"No worries. I can see that the few of you have extraordinary auras and should be the juniors of the major sects. Why didn't you guys come with your elders? Look at those geniuses from the major sects, they are all surrounded by experts. Their sects are all hoping that they can obtain victory and head to the Dongshengxian Gate of the Eastern Prefecture to pay their respects to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor." That immortal-foundation old man laughed. Qin Wentian swept his gaze over this vast area. There were indeed many battle platforms here with experts as common as the clouds. For some of the major powers of the Cloud Prefecture, there were many experts from their sects accompanying them.
After Yi Changfeng and Duan Hong arrived here, they directly flew in a certain direction. Naturally, they were heading towards the location where the experts from their sects and clans were gathered.
"Young people have lofty aspirations. However, the road ahead is filled with obstacles. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor sits high up on the throne, how can ordinary people have the chance to meet him? As for wanting to enter his tutelage, it's too difficult, too difficult." That immortal-foundation old man sighed, yet he didn't notice the wild smile in Jun Mengchen's eyes. He came here to participate in this battle because of the mission given by the Heavenly Talisman Realm. His purpose wasn't to pay his respects to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor but rather, to reject him.
To him, this was merely a test, a chance to temper himself in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, fighting against the experts of the thirteen prefectures.
Naturally, to Qin Wentian, there was another layer of meaning to this test. He was very much looking forward to being able to stand before the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor and reject him.
"Senior, it's precisely because the road ahead is filled with obstacles that life is even more fascinating." Jun Mengchen's smile was as bright as the sun as he spoke.
"Mhm, that's right. Young people with such a temperament, how marvelous." The old man laughed. "I'm filled with anticipation for your performance."
"Old senior will definitely not be disappointed." Jun Mengchen replied. After which, the four of them inclined their heads and stared at the battle platform in the air.
"Haha, I'm filled with anticipation." The immortal-foundation expert laughed heartily. His gaze roamed the surroundings and he could see the various major powers of the Cloud Prefecture occupying their own territories, exuding a majestic aura. Their disciples were all at different cultivation levels. How would it be so easy for these four little fellows to ascend the Cloudheaven Battle Platform?
In the airspace above the Prefecture King's Palace in the Cloud Prefecture, many experts were gathered. There were actually many powerful experts gathered in the airspace above the palace.
In the center, was none other than the Idlecloud Immortal King.
The Idlecloud Immortal King governed the Cloud Prefecture and was extremely powerful. He set up a throne in the air and sat on it. The people beside him were all experts from the Prefecture King Palace.
In the seats below him, there were many experts from the major powers. These people were all people with extremely high statuses in the Cloud Prefecture. The experts sitting in the air were all immortal kings, the lords of their respective major powers. Not only that, they were the lords of the strongest major powers in the Cloud Prefecture.
"Big brother Mu Yun is so powerful. He's at the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon and there's no one who could defeat him on the battle platform. Right now, he has already condensed a battle halo of a few hundred meters." Beside the Idlecloud Immortal King, a young lady around twenty years of age stared at a young man on the battle platform as a look of worship flashed in her eyes.
"Haha, Mu Yun naturally isn't bad. He would definitely be able to obtain a 10,000 meter battle halo. I actually hope that not only would he have a 10,000 meter battle halo, he would also be able to change the color of his battle halo." The Idlecloud Immortal King laughed. Evidently, he held Mu Yun in high regard.
"Young Master Mu Yun is truly powerful. It wouldn't be a problem for him to jump levels to fight. He would definitely be able to obtain a violet-gold battle halo." Beside him, an immortal king from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor laughed.
"Zhou Zhan, don't be so humble. The Battle Heavens Immortal Manor has always been proficient in combat. This time around, there are many geniuses from your Battle Heavens Immortal Manor competing for the battle halo." The Idlecloud Immortal King laughed.
Zhou Zhan was an immortal king from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor. His combat prowess was extremely high and he had an extraordinary status in the Cloud Prefecture.
"Immortal King, on that battle platform, Zhou Teng with a cultivation base at the third level of Celestial Phenomenon is the youngest son of the Battle Immortal King. His combat prowess is extremely high and right now, he already has a battle halo of a few hundred meters." Someone at the side reminded, his words causing the Idlecloud Immortal King to laugh. "I've long heard that you, Zhou Zhan, wanted another son. To think that you would bring him here. Not bad, there are also many third-level ascendants on the other battle platforms but they are all intentionally avoiding your youngest son, Zhou Teng."
"The various major powers all have a tacit understanding." Someone at the side laughed. Every time a supreme genius from the various major powers appeared on a battle platform, the others would naturally give way, not wanting to compete against them. At the very least, they wouldn't do so during the early stages. Maybe at the later stages, the competition would reach a climax and the participants would all clash violently.
"Someone took the initiative to leave the Cloudheaven Arena. Are there any geniuses who would like to fill up the vacancy?" At this moment, the Idlecloud Immortal King stared at an empty battle platform as he laughed.
"Wu Yang, you go ahead." Not far away, a figure seated on a throne spoke. This person was none other than a peak power of the Cloud Prefecture, the Suppression Immortal Sect. Wu Yang was over ten meters tall, much taller than ordinary people. His entire body exuded a sense of might and his cultivation base was at the fourth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. He soared up into the air and directly stood on the battle platform.
"Suppression Immortal Sect, Wu Yang!" He roared, his voice shaking the heavens.
"The Suppression Immortal Sect, this man must be extremely powerful." Many of those who were preparing to challenge him silently mused as they shifted their gazes away.
"Haha, with someone from the Suppression Immortal Sect acting, there's no one else who dares to accept the challenge." Those major characters on the thrones chatted and laughed. But at this moment, they saw a young man in white with flowing black hair slowly walking up the Cloudheaven Arena.
"Interesting, someone actually accepted the challenge." The eyes of the crowd flickered as they stared at that young man.
"Merely courting death." The immortal king of the Suppression Immortal Sect spoke arrogantly. However, several people here let out exclamations of shock. The Idlecloud Immortal King's senses were extremely sharp, he could sense something strange. Many experts from the major powers stared at the young man who just appeared as their eyes gleamed with sharpness.
"The successor of the Driftsnow Master, Qin Wentian." A voice rang out. Although it wasn't loud, it was extremely clear. In just an instant, in this vast space, the voices gradually faded away, growing softer and softer!
