The Cloud Prefecture would select a thousand experts from the Cloudheaven Arena and head to the Eastern Prefecture to participate in the grand banquet at the Dongshengxian Gate.
The duration of this round of selection was divided into eighty-one days and right now, more than half of the time has passed.
The demon-level geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture were almost all present. After forty days of battles, some of the most outstanding demon-level characters were gradually revealed and were known to everyone.
These people had yet to suffer a single defeat and were recognized as the seed geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture. They would be a powerful force that would head to the Dongshengxian Gate and have a chance to fight for the chance to enter the Dongshengxian Gate. As for becoming the top three rankers of the thirteen prefectures, becoming one of the most dazzling geniuses and becoming a disciple of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, nobody dared to think about this for now.
At the very least, they had to be far ahead of the others in the selection round of the Cloud Prefecture before they would have such an opportunity. After all, other than the Cloud Prefecture, there were still twelve other prefectures and it was unknown how many supreme geniuses there would be.
Also, as the geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture gathered here, the speed of the battles grew faster and faster. The eighty-one Cloudheaven Arena platforms didn't even have the time to take a breather as they welcomed the battles one after another. Some of the weaker geniuses wanted to use the Cloudheaven Arena to temper their combat prowess. They continuously fought on the platforms and were defeated again and again. At the end of the battles, the anger in the hearts of the geniuses was ignited and once they won, they would show no mercy and directly kill these people. If not, it would be meaningless to plunder the battle qi of these people.
Right now, there were many experts with 10,000 meter battle halos. Some of them would stay on the Cloudheaven Arena as though they wouldn't feel fatigue. But there were also some who loved to hunt. They would go up and plunder the battle halos of those who had the most battle halos before coming down to rest and prepare for the next hunt. This cycle repeated over and over again, and the speed of plundering battle halos was extremely fast.
Hence, there were many experts who had battle halos of 100, 1,000 or even thousands of meters. Because, they had no way to guarantee that their battle halos would be able to rank within the top 1,000. Hence, they had to plunder their battle halos through combat. However, the eyes of the hunters below gave them an immense sense of pressure. There was a possibility that powerful geniuses would appear at any moment and plunder their battle halos. In addition, such incidents had already happened many times on the Cloudheaven Arena.
However, even though there were many outstanding geniuses, Qin Wentian and the other two were still among the most dazzling Heavenly Sons.
Up until now, the three of them had yet to lose a single battle. This made it so that those peerless geniuses didn't dare to provoke the three of them. If they lost, their Battle Qi would be taken away, so the geniuses were all very cautious.
Another problem was also becoming more and more obvious. As those monstrous geniuses plundered 10,000 meter battle qi halos, it became increasingly difficult to defeat them. As a result, the more powerful they became, the more difficult it would be for those behind them to defeat them.
The Idlecloud Immortal King sat peacefully on his throne, feeling extremely satisfied with this selection battle. As for the grudges between the major powers and the other participants, he didn't really care much about it. After all, at his level, Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants couldn't be considered anything. The distance between them was too far. From ancient times until now, those who broke through to the immortal king realm within ten thousand years were already considered demon-level characters. These people still had a long way to go.
Back then, wasn't he also young and arrogant as he roamed the world, showing off his brilliance?
"Up until now, those true geniuses have already revealed their brilliance. Idlecloud Immortal King, who do you think has the qualifications to head to the Dongshengxian Gate of the Eastern Prefecture to contend against the geniuses of the thirteen prefectures?" Someone smiled as he asked the Idlecloud Immortal King. In truth, he was asking who the Idlecloud Immortal King thought most highly of.
"Haha, I also want to know what the Idlecloud Immortal King thinks. Zhouyu from my Battle Heavens Immortal Manor has a cultivation base at the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon and is born for battle. He should be able to enter the eyes of the Idlecloud Immortal King, right?" Zhou Zhan from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor laughed. Before this, although he was provoked by Qin Wentian and the others, he still had the bearing that an immortal king should have. Since he had no way to kill those three on the Cloudheaven Arena, he could only temporarily forget about it.
"Zhouyu should be a descendant of your Battle Heavens Immortal Manor right? He cultivates many immortal arts from your Battle Heavens Immortal Manor and has an extremely high level of comprehension. In addition to his battle-type astral souls, he is truly incomparably dazzling and can be considered as one of the most dazzling geniuses on the Cloudheaven Arena this time around." The Idlecloud Immortal King commented, his words causing Zhou Zhan to smile in satisfaction. For a character like the Idlecloud Immortal King, there was basically no need for him to flatter anyone. The strong is the strong, the weak is the weak. He naturally wouldn't speak nonsense.
"That fellow Mu Yun isn't bad as well. His brilliance is gradually revealed and he would definitely be one of the top ten characters this time around." The Idlecloud Immortal King laughed again. His gaze landed on one of the battle platforms, there was a junior of his, Mu Yun, a seventh-level ascendant.
"That little fellow Mu Yun is truly powerful. He would definitely have a chance to join the Dongshengxian Gate." The spectators at the side nodded.
"There are two outstanding characters from the Myriad Sage Academy. Yi Changfeng and Qi Fan. They should be disciples of the Sacred Academy right?" The Idlecloud Immortal King laughed. Yi Changfeng had a cultivation base at the sixth-level while Qi Fan had a cultivation base at the fifth-level.
"Idlecloud Immortal King has good judgement. These two are disciples of our Sacred Academy and are extremely outstanding." An expert from the Myriad Sage Academy nodded.
"Xia Hanjiang from the Cloud Tower Sacred Sect isn't bad either." The Idlecloud Immortal King continued. This Xia Hanjiang's cultivation base was at the sixth-level of Celestial Phenomenon.
"Pang Shanyue from the Suppression Immortal Sect, his combat prowess is extremely strong."
"The two geniuses nurtured by the Immorseize Residence, Zhuge Yi and Zhuge Yue are both extremely powerful. The Immorseize Residence is the wealthiest power in the Cloud Prefecture. You guys should have spent a lot of effort on them right?" As the Idlecloud Immortal King spoke, he turned his gaze onto a major power at the side. This was none other than the Immorseize Residence whose name shook the entire Cloud Prefecture.
"Haha, it's because these two brothers are so powerful." An expert from the Immorseize Residence laughed.
"What about Gu Chen? Isn't he very strong as well?" Someone asked.
"Although Gu Chen isn't bad, I'm afraid he's still inferior in front of these people. In addition, there are three other fellows over there. Any one of them is more outstanding compared to Gu Chen. His talent should only be on the same level as the Saberlord of Death's disciple Mu Yan." The Idlecloud Immortal King pointed to Qin Wentian and the other two as he laughed.
"Naturally, other than these people, that Gu Zhantian, although I have no idea who nurtured him, he's also extremely powerful. His name is Tyrannical and I'm guessing that he might be the descendant of Madman Gu from many years ago."
The eyes of everyone flickered as they stared at a young man below the battle platform. This young man exuded a terrifying battle qi and even though he was standing below, he was still extremely dazzling. There was no one else in the surroundings, all of them would retreat when they saw him.
"Hearing the Idlecloud Immortal King's words, it does seem like it." An immortal-foundation expert from the older generations replied. Madman Gu was a legendary character back then, causing great waves of commotion in the Cloud Prefecture. He once fought against many major powers alone, forcefully uprooting many of them, and after that, even he himself died in the process.
If this Gu Zhantian was his descendant, he would definitely be an extremely dangerous character.
"Also that Xiao Hong and Su Yeqing. Although I have no idea where they came from, their combat prowess is extremely high and their talent is at the peak." The Idlecloud Immortal King commented one by one.
"Are there no first-level and ninth-level ascendants?" Someone curiously asked.
"For now, we haven't discovered any outstanding characters at these two levels yet. As for those at the ninth-level, because of the selection outside the city, we have to send some of them to the immortal-foundation realm. Hence, there are many participants at the first-level of Celestial Phenomenon as well. Although there are quite a few with 10,000 meters of battle qi, it's a pity that there's no one that could shock me yet. Let's hope that there will be some in the later stages." The Idlecloud Immortal King slowly spoke.
"I basically agree with the Idlecloud Immortal King's judgement. As expected, the people he pointed out are all outstanding characters with outstanding talent. I wonder what their rankings are in the Idlecloud Immortal King's heart?" An expert curiously asked.
"This is truly difficult. The three I'm most interested in are Gu Zhantian, Jun Mengchen and Mu Yun. The feeling Gu Zhantian gives me is extremely strong, Jun Mengchen is young and has terrifying potential. He's different from everyone else, it's like he was born to be a king. As for Mu Yun, he is my descendant, I naturally have high hopes for him."
The Idlecloud Immortal King laughed as he spoke. "Secondly, I'm more optimistic about Zhouyu, the Zhuge siblings, Qi Fan, Zi Qingxuan and Xiao Hong. These people are all extraordinary as well."
"Lastly, Yi Changfeng, Xia Hanjiang, Pang Shanyue, Su Yeqing and Qin Wentian." The Idlecloud Immortal King slowly spoke as he smiled. "Naturally, these people are all extraordinary and they have yet to unleash their full strength. What I can see is merely the surface of their strength as well as some of my own conjectures. It's highly possible that my judgement might not be accurate. For example, Qin Wentian sometimes gives me a feeling of ordinariness but this ordinariness contains a shocking amount of energy. At the very least, up until now, no one has been able to defeat him. However, he didn't give me the same feeling as his junior apprentice brother Jun Mengchen. The rumors about him in the Driftsnow City shook the entire Cloud Prefecture. I'm actually hoping that he would be able to display the same level of arrogance here and let me know that I've misjudged him."
"Maybe, he can only do this much." An expert from the Nine-Peak Immortal Court at the side spoke. In their sect, there wasn't a single person who was valued by the Idlecloud Immortal King. However, they had nothing to say. The Idlecloud Immortal King's judgement was extremely accurate and it was truly difficult for their disciples to stand shoulder to shoulder with these people.
The battles continued unceasingly. Unknowingly, more than half of the eighty-one days had already passed. There were already sixty-three days and there were only eighteen people left.
During these days, everyone could clearly see how accurate the judgement of the Idlecloud Immortal King was. Other than a few supreme geniuses who stood out at the back, those whom he valued earlier were all undefeatable and triumphant. Even the weakest among them had a battle halo of 50,000 meters. It was extremely terrifying.
The stronger the expert, the stronger they were. Given their own strength as well as the augmentation from their battle halos, it was basically impossible for anyone to defeat them unless they fought against them themselves.
"Senior brother, you have to work harder. Me and Senior Qingxuan both have a battle halo of 100,000 meters." At this moment, Jun Mengchen smiled as he spoke to Qin Wentian. He naturally wouldn't doubt Qin Wentian's strength, he only felt that Qin Wentian was too low-profile. Right now, he only had a battle halo of 60,000 meters and there were quite a few people who were catching up to him.
"Right." Qin Wentian nodded his head. His gaze roamed around the Cloudheaven Arena and an instant later, his gaze locked onto a supreme genius who also had a battle halo of 60,000 meters. This person was none other than Xiao Hong, who was at the same cultivation level as him!
