After the selection battle of the Cloud Prefecture concluded, the participants on the eighty-one battle platforms gradually dispersed. For those who failed to qualify, they could only sigh in their hearts. However, there were still some outstanding geniuses who received invitations from the major powers. After all, there were simply too many geniuses who participated in the selection battle this time around. It was extremely difficult to be able to rank within the top 1,000.
In fact, other than some of the most dazzling geniuses, those who managed to rank within the top 1,000 actually didn't have much of a difference in terms of talent. Even after the top 1,000, there were still some who had outstanding talent.
Although the selection battle ended, the Cloud Prefecture was still extremely lively. The topics of discussion in the inns and streets were all related to this selection battle.
"Gu Zhantian is truly powerful, at the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon. His strength is as high as the heavens and he even obtained a 500,000 meter battle halo. This is simply unimaginable, too terrifying."
"The reason why Gu Zhantian was so crazy was because he was provoked by Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. The two of them are truly powerful. Qin Wentian was initially undefeatable and obtained a 180,000 meter battle halo. At that time, Gu Zhantian only had a 200,000 meter battle halo and didn't have an obvious advantage. However, Qin Wentian gave up his 180,000 meter battle halo to challenge Gu Zhantian, breaking through the limits of his cultivation base. Only then did Gu Zhantian widen the gap between him and the other geniuses. As for Jun Mengchen, he eventually obtained the second rank."
"The descendant of the Idlecloud Immortal King, Mu Yun, is also very powerful. He seems to be more low-profile but there has never been anyone who could truly threaten him. Gu Zhantian is at the same level as him but didn't he challenge Mu Yun as well?"
"Naturally, Gu Zhantian didn't unleash his absolute combat prowess. These dazzling geniuses would always be more outstanding compared to others. After all, this is only the selection battle of the Cloud Prefecture. Their gazes might be on the Eastern Prefecture where experts are as common as clouds and countless geniuses would appear. Sadly, I won't be able to go there, my cultivation base is too low. By the time I reach the Eastern Prefecture, the selection battle would have already ended.
Hahaha. "" I can pay some price to teleport there. "
"The price is too great, I can't afford it."
On the streets, the crowd laughed and chatted unceasingly. Many people sighed because their cultivation bases were too weak. The immortal realms were simply too vast. For the weak, they could only live in a single angle for their entire lives. In fact, they had no way to properly view the world. Even if there was a teleportation array that could allow them to instantly traverse space, ordinary weaklings wouldn't be able to afford such a price.
This was the sorrow of the weak, and also the reason why the atmosphere in the immortal realms was so strong. If one didn't pursue the martial path and become an expert, they wouldn't be able to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the immortal realms even if they wanted to.
Within an inn built on an ancient mountain peak in the Cloud Prefecture, Qin Wentian sat cross-legged. All of a sudden, he opened his eyes as sharpness gleamed within them. He inclined his head and stared ahead, only to see a tyrannical aura gushing forth from him, causing the atmosphere to be filled with a powerful aura.
Stepping out, Qin Wentian instantly appeared on a gigantic boulder at the edge of the ancient peak. He saw Jun Mengchen sitting there as his aura surged out in waves.
At this moment, Zi Qingxuan also appeared. Her beautiful eyes gleamed as she stared at Jun Mengchen, involuntarily feeling waves of pressure.
In the Heavenly Talisman Realm, senior sister Xu once said that disciples of the same sect would usually not acknowledge each other outside. It was only because the three of them accepted the trial together that they were allowed to come out with the identity of fellow disciples.
Among the three of them, her cultivation base was the highest. However, after the selection test of the Cloud Prefecture, Qin Wentian's cultivation base had already broken through to the fifth-level, the same as her. And now, Jun Mengchen was also about to break through to the fourth-level. All of them were chasing after her.
The disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Realm were simply too outstanding. The first requirement was to have a violet-gold astral soul. Being together with fellow disciples from the Heavenly Talisman Realm would indeed cause one to feel immense pressure. But it was precisely because of this that one would have such a strong motivation to advance. The more outstanding one was, the more one's potential would be ignited. If not, if you were to be together with a bunch of mediocre people, you might have already surpassed everyone else after reaching a certain level.
"There are already so many geniuses in the Cloud Prefecture. When we arrive at the Eastern Prefecture, there would be even more experts. This tempering mission won't be easy." Zi Qingxuan spoke. Qin Wentian laughed, "That's only natural. All the geniuses of the thirteen prefectures have gathered here, and only ten thousand plus of them are selected. How can it be simple?"
"Do you have confidence?" Zi Qingxuan's beautiful eyes turned over, landing onto the handsome countenance of Qin Wentian.
"No one would know the ending until the very end. Also, we don't know the rules of the battles after we arrive at the Eastern Prefecture. We can only say that we should do our best." Qin Wentian turned his gaze onto Zi Qingxuan as he smiled. Zi Qingxuan shifted her gaze away, no emotions could be seen in her eyes.
The two of them quietly stood there until a long whistling sound rang out. Jun Mengchen broke through, stepping into the fourth-level of Celestial Phenomenon.
"How refreshing." Jun Mengchen stood up, his eyes gleaming with sharpness. When he discovered Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan, he retracted his aura and turned around with a smile, "Senior brother, senior sister Qingxuan."
"Awesome." Qin Wentian praised. Jun Mengchen had a silly smile on his face, his handsome countenance was extremely handsome. For those who hadn't seen him in battle before, they wouldn't be able to imagine how crazy he was.
"Senior brother is the awesome one, you've already broken through on the Cloudheaven Arena." Jun Mengchen sincerely spoke. Speaking of which, he should be thanking his senior brother Qin. After that, he fought so crazily on the Cloudheaven Arena because he was inspired by Qin Wentian, as well as contending against Gu Zhantian. Only then did he accumulate a certain amount of experience and finally, after a few days of relaxation, he unknowingly felt the signs of breaking through.
Cultivation was just so mysterious. Sometimes, you would break through during battle, sometimes you would break through in peace. Sometimes, you would be like Jun Mengchen, suddenly calming down after a frenzied battle, and unknowingly, you would feel that you were about to break through.
But no matter what, when stellar martial cultivators broke through, they had to accumulate enough experience. When the conditions were right, success would come naturally.
"Stabilize your cultivation base, we will be heading to the Eastern Prefecture soon." Qin Wentian didn't say anything more. Jun Mengchen nodded his head as he stared at the horizons. The Eastern Prefecture, he had arrived.
This was the first tempering exercise for the Heavenly Talisman Realm. He had to obtain one of the three slots.
...
For seven consecutive days, the Cloud Prefecture was bustling with activity. When the seventh day arrived, countless silhouettes gathered at the Cloudheaven Arena. At the same time, a thousand experts arrived as well.
Today, was the day they would all gather and head to the Eastern Prefecture.
A thousand experts arrived in an imposing manner, occupying a space in the air. Gu Zhantian attracted the most gazes. His figure was tall and slender, and he naturally exuded a supreme sharpness, as though he was born a heaven chosen.
Gu Zhantian swept his gaze over everyone, pausing for a moment on Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. That thin and sharp lips of his exuded a terrifying sharpness, and a provocative battle intent could be seen flickering in his extraordinary eyes.
Qin Wentian calmly stared at him, while Jun Mengchen inclined his head as a terrifying aura gushed forth from him. He didn't fear Gu Zhantian at all.
"Although you have broken through to the fourth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, you are still insufficient in front of me. Your provocation isn't qualified." Gu Zhantian ignored Jun Mengchen, incomparably cold and arrogant.
"Hmph, the rules of the Eastern Prefecture haven't been set yet. Don't say anything too early." Jun Mengchen coldly snorted, only to hear Gu Zhantian laughing maniacally. He turned his gaze away, no longer looking at Jun Mengchen as he spoke in an arrogant tone, "If there's a chance to fight, I will make you all stay in the Eastern Prefecture forever."
As the sound of his voice faded, a killing intent permeated the air, causing the spectators to sigh in admiration. This Gu Zhantian was truly arrogant, not bothering to mask his killing intent at all, directly threatening Jun Mengchen.
At this moment, more and more immortal-foundation experts arrived. In fact, Qin Wentian and the others also saw the leaders of the major powers of the Cloud Prefecture. These immortal kings seemed to be preparing to head to the Eastern Prefecture as well.
However, this was also very normal. This was a grand event that occurred once every hundred years in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures and was initiated by the Dongshengxian Gate. The leaders of the major powers naturally had to be present and pay their respects to the Dongshengxian Gate. After all, the entire thirteen prefectures were under the control of the Dongshengxian Gate.
This trip to the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, to these geniuses, was a tempering exercise and an opportunity. But to these experts, it was a pilgrimage to pay their respects to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
In the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor was the king. He resided in the Eastern Sage Immortal Palace and sat high up on the throne.
The Idlecloud Immortal King also appeared with a group of experts. He glanced at the geniuses and upon seeing that all of them had a Cloud Prefecture Medallion, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"For this trip, we will directly use the spatial teleportation array in the Cloud Prefecture. This array is able to traverse vast distances and directly lead us to the Eastern Prefecture. Now, let's move out together." The Idlecloud Immortal King spoke as he turned and walked towards the incomparably majestic manor he resided in.
Everyone followed after the Idlecloud Immortal King. The thirteen prefectures were all under the control of the Dongshengxian Gate. Within the thirteen prefectures, there were powerful spatial teleportation arrays set up personally by the Dongshengxian Gate. However, these arrays couldn't be used casually and outsiders wouldn't have the chance to use them. This trip was an exception.
When the experts saw the twelve spatial teleportation arrays shining with golden light, all of them were stunned. These twelve teleportation arrays were connected to the other twelve prefectures. In the center of the teleportation array, there was a gigantic word 'Eastern'. This teleportation array was connected to the Eastern Prefecture.
An incomparably dazzling spatial light swept over the area. The Idlecloud Immortal King spoke, "Go up in batches according to the numbers on the Cloud Prefecture Medallion. For the first batch, 901 to 1,000, go up."
As the sound of his voice faded, a hundred people stepped onto the grand formation. When the grand formation was activated, a burst of intense spatial light that was extremely dazzling to the eyes. Terrifying spatial fluctuations filled the air, and the hundred experts disappeared before their eyes.
"For the second batch." An instant later, the Idlecloud Immortal King spoke again. Batches after batches of experts stepped onto the teleportation array before vanishing from sight. When the last batch of people left, the Idlecloud Immortal King and the others also stepped onto the teleportation array. As the light from the teleportation array shone brightly, their silhouettes vanished from sight. There were many soldiers guarding the teleportation array. Their countenances were solemn but the area before the teleportation array was completely empty.
In a short period of time, the geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture who were chosen all departed from the Cloud Prefecture. They were all on their way to the Eastern Prefecture!
