Standing in the middle of the battlefield, Qin Wentian and the others stared at their surroundings, feeling waves of coldness. This should be the true portrayal of the immortal realms. The Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures were organizing a grand event every hundred years, but for this grand event, the geniuses from all over the thirteen prefectures had to risk their lives for it.
It was cruel and realistic. These geniuses were all demon-level characters from the thirteen prefectures. If they were willing to live in a remote corner, they might be able to live a more comfortable life. But if they had ambitions and dreams, they had no choice but to accept the cruel trials, gaining a new life amidst the blazing flames of blood and tears, growing unceasingly and transforming, becoming a true expert, someone like those supreme characters of the Dongshengxian Gate.
Naturally, those geniuses also gambled like this before they obtained their current achievements. On their path of growth, how many outstanding geniuses of the same generation had they trampled over? Only they themselves knew. In fact, if they still wanted to climb higher, they would have to continue on their journey until one day, they could stand at the peak of the immortal realms.
"Using the blood of geniuses to create this grand event." Qin Wentian mumbled. Although his body was somewhat fatigued, his back was still as straight as a thousand-year-old pine tree. Despite the torrential rain, he wouldn't bend his back at all.
He had his own story, his own dreams, and also a responsibility.
He longed to stand together with that holy maiden who had once silently sacrificed herself for him. He longed to not be looked down upon by others, he longed to have the ability to look straight at the heavens. He longed to search for his origins, to search for the legendary story of his parents.
Hence, he had to straighten his back and walk forward with unwavering determination, no matter how many thorns and thorns there were on the road ahead.
"Yeah, the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures have always been contending for supremacy. From the start until now, blood has been spilled for every round of selection. When the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor finally accepts the final three disciples, how many people would have to die for the sake of those three?" The spectators at the side also sighed in admiration. Those three who were the last to succeed were destined to have no fate with them. With a supreme demon-level genius like Gusu Tianqi, as well as a radiant genius like Qin Wentian, they could truly feel the disparity between them.
The gap between geniuses could not be made up for.
"But the three who are selected in the end will soar into the sky. With their own talents and the careful training of the Dongshengxian Gate, they might even have the chance to become the personal disciples of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. They will only become more and more outstanding. Brother Qin, among us, you are probably the only one with hope. You must seize this opportunity." Someone beside him stared at Qin Wentian and gave his blessing.
"I will definitely enter the top three." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice, his words containing the conviction of an expert. However, he only said that he would enter the top three, he didn't say anything else. Even if he entered the top three, he wouldn't necessarily have to take the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as his master.
"We all believe in you." The people beside him nodded heavily. They didn't know what Qin Wentian was thinking in his heart. They were all filled with anticipation for Qin Wentian to become a Sage Child character of the Dongshengxian Gate. Only Zi Qingxuan's eyes flickered with a strange light. Only she knew the ultimate goal of Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and herself.
The top three, but not the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor!
In this battlefield, only Qin Wentian and his companions could have a moment of leisure. The battles between the various factions were still going on.
The other thirty-plus fifth-level ascendants who were in the same camp as Qin Wentian and his companions weren't as lucky as them. After being surrounded, they suffered heavy casualties. Although Su Feng and the other geniuses they had high hopes for were tyrannical, they were still 'taken care of'. At the same time, there were many experts ganging up on them.
In addition, Su Feng wasn't willing to use his full strength to fight for those he wasn't familiar with. Very quickly, he begged the other experts to leave. After all, his strength was still extremely tyrannical, it wasn't too difficult for him to leave. Those disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate didn't pursue Su Feng. Instead, they continued to surround and kill the other geniuses, causing the other experts to be in a miserable state.
They began to flee in different directions. Along the way, they were intercepted and killed. Sometimes, some of them died. If they had known this would happen, they would have listened to Qin Wentian and disbanded earlier.
At this moment, there were two experts frantically running in the same direction. These two geniuses were severely injured, and there were six to seven people chasing after them. The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer. The disciples of Dongshengxian Gate had a hideous smile on their faces as if they were toying with them. They said coldly, "You won't be able to escape."
"ARGHHHH!" The two of them howled madly in anger. They bit their lips, releasing their astral energy to the extreme as they fled madly. However, they still couldn't shake off the people behind them. They felt some despair.
At this moment, they saw a group of silhouettes standing in front of them. They seemed to be very relaxed, not fighting at all, as if they had nothing to do. When they saw the faces of these people clearly, their hearts violently twitched. How … how could this be possible? Where were the experts of the Dongshengxian Gate?
Qin Wentian and the others also saw these two. One of them was the one who mocked Qin Wentian the loudest earlier, saying that Qin Wentian and the others were just a bunch of mobs, trying to divide them.
Pairs of eyes stared at each other. Qin Wentian and the others' countenances were indifferent and calm. After experiencing this battle, many of them had a trip to the gates of hell. If it wasn't for Qin Wentian's strength and his crazy protection, all of them would have died. As for those people opposite them, since they chose to follow Su Feng, they chose their own path. In that case, they should face the consequences themselves.
"RUMBLE!" Numerous attacks rained down. Evidently, the experts of the Dongshengxian Gate had noticed the group of people ahead. They quickened their pace and directly launched their attacks over, landing on the bodies of those two experts. The two of them trembled violently as they coughed out blood. They got closer and closer to Qin Wentian and the others. One of them asked, "How did you guys do it?"
His eyes were bloodshot and his aura was extremely weak. But even so, he still wanted to understand why these people were unharmed.
"Qin Wentian used his strength to kill the disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate and protected us. This is all because we chose to follow him." One of them spoke. When the two of them heard this, they first started. After that, expressions of madness appeared on their faces as they laughed maniacally. That's right, these people chose to follow Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian actually protected them.
But the Su Feng they chose to follow actually abandoned everyone and left. Even Lu Longcloud chose to leave alone.
This was truly cruel. They were filled with hatred.
"BOOM!" Destructive energy gushed forth. The two of them let out roars of despair before they were engulfed by the destructive energy and were directly annihilated.
The disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate who killed them all frowned when they saw Qin Wentian and the others. Where were the other experts of the Dongshengxian Gate who surrounded them? Was it really like what that person said earlier? All of them were killed by Qin Wentian?
All of them stared at Qin Wentian, their eyes filled with trepidation. This was a Heaven's Chosen that they had always wanted to kill but were unable to do so. Qin Wentian had an unparalleled combat prowess, and regardless of core or elite disciples, many of them had died in his hands. At this level of cultivation, it was as though there was no one who could kill him.
"Scram." Qin Wentian spat out a single word. Those disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate all had unsightly expressions on their faces, yet they didn't dare to retaliate. They could only turn and leave with their tails between their legs. The expressions on their faces were as unsightly as one could imagine.
They were disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate, yet they were being slaughtered by a genius who didn't even mask his humiliation. Yet, they didn't even have the courage to reply. How laughable was this? They were actually afraid that if they replied, Qin Wentian would kill them all in a fit of rage.
Maybe Qin Wentian was already sick of killing. At this moment, he didn't continue killing and chose to let those people leave.
This cruel battle had already caused the deaths of many geniuses. It should be ending soon, right?
"All of you, stop fighting."
At this moment, a thunderous voice thundered through the air, causing everyone to instantly stop fighting. In fact, there were even some who retracted their attacks. To people at their level, they could already retract their attacks as they wished. Now that an immortal king of the Dongshengxian Gate had issued an order, who would dare to disobey?
"160 participants have already appeared. All of you can exit through a small-scale spatial formation." That imposing voice rang out once more, containing a hint of unhappiness within.
Xia Hou also stopped fighting. He had actually participated in this battle earlier. Upon hearing that imposing voice, his heart crumbled. He stood on the mountain peak and swept his gaze over the surroundings, as though he was searching for something.
In this battle, Qin Wentian should have already died, right?
But at this moment, when his gaze landed in a certain direction, his countenance alternated between shades of green and white. How could this be possible? That person actually didn't die?
In addition, that person seemed to have sensed something. His gaze actually penetrated through space and stared in Xia Hou's direction. That cold gaze was like a silent provocation.
It was as though he was telling Xia Hou that he, Qin Wentian, was still standing there and was destined to become the center of attention of everyone.
After this battle, Qin Wentian would be promoted and would definitely become a core disciple or even an elite disciple. If he wanted to kill Qin Wentian again, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. He had already missed the best opportunity.
After that, Qin Wentian turned and left the battlefield with the others, searching for a spatial formation as they left the Sage Devil Gorge.
This trial has finally ended.
Outside the Sage Devil Gorge, numerous figures appeared. Regardless of those who had already exited, or the remaining 160 participants, as well as the disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate, all of them appeared here and were clearly divided into three camps. Those who were eliminated and could only become outer disciples, those who succeeded in becoming core disciples, and those who succeeded in becoming Dongshengxian Gate disciples.
"Those who will become outer disciples, leave with him. If you are unwilling, you can choose to leave as well." The immortal king at the front pointed to a black-robed figure beside him. That black-robed figure nodded to the outer disciples before leading them away.
"This time, the disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate will be hunted down. Leave by yourselves. The elite disciples will be sent to the Immortal Punishment Palace to await further orders." That immortal king continued, his words causing the hearts of the elite disciples to tremble. Xia Hou was so frightened that his countenance turned pale as he left with trepidation in his heart.
"Congratulations to everyone, you have already obtained the qualifications to become a core disciple of the Dongshengxian Gate. Next, you will be participating in the Immortal Banquet of the Dongshengxian Gate. Many famous supreme characters will be present." That immortal king smiled as he stared at everyone, no longer as solemn as before. Although these people were only core disciples, many of them had the potential to become elite disciples since they were able to persist until now after numerous rounds of selection. Core disciple status was merely a treatment they received the moment they joined the sect!
