Everyone could also feel the intense fluctuations of aura radiating from Qin Wentian. Astral light flashed as a humming sound rang out from his body, causing the entire space to tremble.
"What a huge commotion. Qin Wentian is actually about to break through."
The crowd was shocked. In an instant, they finally understood. No wonder Qin Wentian would suddenly erupt forth after a long period of silence. First, he fought against a fifth-level ascendant, and after that, he fought against a sixth-level ascendant, Li Yu. And even after defeating Li Yu, he didn't stop and went on to challenge the seventh-level ascendant, Gu Zhantian.
He wasn't fighting for the sake of seizing battle qi or he would have better choices. For example, Zhuge Yue. If he defeated her, he would be able to seize a 50,000 meter battle halo, surpassing Gu Zhantian. But before this, he didn't challenge Zhuge Yue. Instead, he chose to break through to the next level instead.
Clearly, Qin Wentian could sense that he had already reached a critical point. He wanted to use external energy to stimulate himself and achieve a breakthrough. Evidently, he succeeded.
After that, he seized Zhuge Yue's 50,000 meter battle halo. This was merely to preserve his ranking. With this 50,000 meter battle halo, it was impossible for Qin Wentian to be ranked below the top 1,000.
If he wanted battle qi, he could seize it with a lift of his hand.
But before the pursuit of a stellar martial cultivator, even if it was a 180,000 meter battle halo, he could still give it up without any hesitation. Even if it was just an opportunity to break through, even if he might not be able to do so, he still didn't hesitate and chose to challenge it.
From the looks of it, was Qin Wentian really the loser?
Although Gu Zhantian's 380,000 meter battle halo was extremely dazzling, Qin Wentian had already broken through to the next level. Both of them could be considered winners. It's just that thinking about it, Gu Zhantian's 380,000 meter battle halo didn't seem as dazzling as before.
"What senior brother Qin has isn't merely courage. Compared to him, you are still lacking by quite a bit." Jun Mengchen stared at Gu Zhantian as he spoke, his words causing Gu Zhantian's expression to turn heavy. After that, he laughed maniacally, "I've won the battle and was just short of taking his life. But in your eyes, the difference is too great. What a joke. If there's a next time we fight, I will definitely not give him a chance to live."
After speaking, Gu Zhantian stepped out and directly moved towards another battle platform. Facing against an eighth-level ascendant, Gu Zhantian blasted out with a fist light, sweeping through everything. The Wargod Fist directly blasted his opponent off the platform, devouring the battle halo of his opponent. Such might caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble.
After the augmentation of his 380,000 meter battle halo, his pure strength was already sufficient to contend against eighth-level ascendants. On the battle platform of the Cloudheaven Arena, who could contend against him?
"As expected, at the end, there would be no more opportunities. I have to be extremely cautious even when I'm on the Cloudheaven Arena." Everyone speculated in their hearts. Those experts had already condensed terrifying Battle Qi halos. If they tried to seize Battle Qi now, they would immediately be targeted. Once they seized a certain amount of Battle Qi, they would become their prey.
"With such a powerful Battle Qi halo, what's there to be arrogant about?" Just when Gu Zhantian's aura towered up into the sky, shocking the crowd, Jun Mengchen coldly laughed. He walked towards a Heaven Chosen a level higher than him. With a howl of rage, he transformed into an ancient battle god and punched out with a single punch. His punch was like an ancient fist, capable of destroying everything, similarly blasting his opponent off the platform. This was like a provocation to Gu Zhantian. He only had a 100,000 meter battle halo, yet he could do the same easily. What right did Gu Zhantian have to be so arrogant?
After Qin Wentian was knocked off the platform, this junior apprentice brother of Jun Mengchen actually dared to oppose Gu Zhantian. This made everyone sigh in admiration. This pair of fellow apprentice brothers were truly arrogant, daring to fight against the heavens. At the very least, among the geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture, there wasn't a single one who could suppress their brilliance.
However, Qin Wentian didn't go up the Cloudheaven Arena again. All the way until the end of the selection battle, he was quietly cultivating alone. His cultivation base successfully broke through to the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon as the aura he exuded grew even more intense.
At the same time, those geniuses who were mentioned by the Idlecloud Immortal King also revealed their outstanding talent. Other than this, there were also a few others who rose up later on but none of them were able to surpass the brilliance of Gu Zhantian and Jun Mengchen.
Gu Zhantian and Jun Mengchen seemed to be fighting across space, unceasingly plundering the Battle Qi halos, defeating all the geniuses who obstructed their path.
After the eighty-one days of selection battle ended, Gu Zhantian's battle halo was already incomparably dense. It was over 500,000 meters in diameter and there was a dense violet-gold glow to it. The arena he was on seemed to be enveloped by the violet-gold battle halo, incomparably dazzling.
Jun Mengchen didn't lose out either. He frenziedly fought against Gu Zhantian, plundering his battle halo. He was invincible and became the second most dazzling character, with a battle halo of 360,000 meters. It was unknown how many geniuses had their battle halos plundered by him. These two were far ahead of the other participants, simply too dazzling.
The third person was none other than the descendant of the Idlecloud Immortal King, Mu Yun. His cultivation base was at the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon, the same level as Gu Zhantian. However, it was unknown if Gu Zhantian was intentionally giving face to the Idlecloud Immortal King and avoided clashing with Mu Yun. Mu Yun eventually also obtained a battle halo of 200,000 meters and was extremely powerful. There were some who felt that if Gu Zhantian fought against Mu Yun, he might not be able to win for sure. Even if Gu Zhantian won, it wouldn't be an easy victory.
After that, there were geniuses with battle halos ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 meters. There weren't many of these geniuses, only over ten of them.
There were many who possessed battle halos ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 meters. After all, there were a total of 81 battle platforms here. Many experts were silently fighting and plundering battle halos. In addition, there were even some experts who didn't continue to battle after obtaining a 10,000 meter battle halo.
At this moment, Qin Wentian also stopped his cultivation. Below him, countless figures stood up and stared at the battle halo.
The Idlecloud Immortal King also stood up from his throne and laughed, "For those who feel that they have the qualifications to enter the top 1,000, come up on the Cloudheaven Arena and let everyone see your battle halos."
As the sound of his voice faded, the silhouettes of many experts flickered as they stepped onto the eighty-one battle platforms. In an instant, terrifying battle halos revolved around the area, incomparably resplendent.
Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered as he similarly stepped onto a Cloudheaven Arena. Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan were both beside him.
In just a short period of time, there were already over 3,000 participants who stepped onto the Cloudheaven Arena. However, there were many who glanced at the others and discovered that their own battle qi halos would be ranked at the bottom. Hence, they naturally chose to step down as well.
After a period of adjustment, very swiftly, only over a thousand participants remained on the eighty-one battle platforms. Among them, Gu Zhantian who had a 500,000-meter battle halo was naturally the most dazzling. His battle halo towered up into the clouds, terrifying to the extreme.
"Everyone, take a closer look at your own battle halos. Even if it's one meter less, it's still considered a little less. Right now, there are 1,070 participants. The remaining 70 participants, please step down." An expert beside the Idlecloud Immortal King spoke. After he glanced at the people around him, he saw that those who were ranked at the very bottom of the rankings, all of them started to descend as well. After which, a total of 1,000 participants remained on the Cloudheaven Arena.
"Congratulations to all of you." The Idlecloud Immortal King smiled. "The Dongshengxian Gate is hosting a grand event for the thirteen prefectures. My Cloud Prefecture is one of the thirteen prefectures and the selection round will be held this time around. Everyone, please rest for seven days and gather here again seven days later. I will personally bring all of you to the Eastern Prefecture. When we arrive at the Eastern Prefecture, the demon-level geniuses of the thirteen prefectures will gather there and the competition will be even more intense. Experts are as common as the clouds and I hope that all of you will be able to have an outstanding performance, allowing my Cloud Prefecture to bask in some of its glory."
"The Idlecloud Immortal King is truly too polite." The people below silently mused.
"There's one more thing I have to make clear. Maybe during these 81 days of selection, there might have been some conflicts between all of you. In fact, there might even be some of you who defeated or killed members of some major powers. But this is a battle, life and death are unavoidable. No one, no power is allowed to take revenge against them. If not, that would mean becoming an enemy of my Idlecloud Immortal King, as well as becoming an enemy of the Dongshengxian Gate. You should know the consequences yourself."
The Idlecloud Immortal King's voice turned solemn, causing the countenances of the experts from the major powers to turn heavy. These words of his were clearly a warning to them.
Although they were sitting together with the Idlecloud Immortal King and had extraordinary statuses, belonging to a power at the peak of the Cloud Prefecture, the Idlecloud Immortal King wouldn't be polite with them.
The selection test of the Dongshengxian Gate was held once every hundred years and was a major event of the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures. The Dongshengxian Gate placed great importance on it. These people were all chosen from the Cloud Prefecture and were personally selected by him, the Idlecloud Immortal King. If they were assassinated, it would be akin to smacking his face.
All grudges and grudges have to be placed in the future. If you guys want to settle it, you can wait. Wait till the end of the selection test. But now, you can't do it. Even if you have a huge grudge, you have to put it aside first.
If not, where would the prestige of the Dongshengxian Gate be?
"Next, let's distribute the ranking medallions." The Idlecloud Immortal King spoke. A moment later, many immortal-foundation experts rushed to the battle platform and took out their medallions, inscribing words on them before handing them over to the participants.
Not long after, Qin Wentian obtained an ancient medallion. On the medallion, the word 'Cloud' was engraved, representing the Cloud Prefecture. On this medallion, Qin Wentian's name was inscribed, as well as a number, 27.
Beside Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen's medallion was also inscribed with Jun Mengchen's name as well as a number, 2.
Zi Qingxuan's medallion was inscribed with her name as well as a number, 5.
This number represented their ranking in the selection test of the Cloud Prefecture.
"Seven days later, gather here at this time. Wear this medallion and we will set off together." The Idlecloud Immortal King spoke, his voice echoing through a radius of a few thousand miles. As the sound of his voice faded, this indicated that the selection test of the Cloud Prefecture has officially ended!
"It has ended." Everyone stared at the figures in the air. Among them, there were many unforgettable characters who exuded magnificence through the generations!
