The battles on the platform continued. In the immortal banquet, the immortal kings chatted freely, occasionally commenting on the geniuses.
The beautiful Myriad Incarnations Immortal King was extremely quiet. She spoke to Hua Taixu who was seated beside her, "In the battle back then, Qin Wentian displayed his brilliance. You should be more familiar with him. Now that so many years have passed, although your improvement is godly, his cultivation speed isn't inferior to yours. If you fought against him, how confident are you in winning?"
Hua Taixu's current cultivation base was actually the same as Qin Wentian, at the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King knew very well what kind of price he had to pay to improve so quickly. In addition, she personally guided him.
When she first met Qin Wentian and saw the ranking of the twenty-seventh rankers of the Cloud Prefecture, the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King also felt that Hua Taixu should have already left Qin Wentian in the dust. But who would have thought that the arrogant and unruly young man back then was now even more mature. No matter where he went, he would radiate an unparalleled sharpness.
"I have no idea." Hua Taixu turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian as he shook his head.
The him now, his temperament had long changed. As he matured step by step, many things in the past were indifferent to him. However, in his heart, there was still a stubbornness he couldn't let go of.
Truly fighting against Qin Wentian.
He obtained the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings. In the next selection round, Qin Wentian also obtained the same glory.
In the Immortal Martial Realm, Qin Wentian caught up from behind and obtained the top ranker.
Qin Wentian's performance was once again the most outstanding among the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect's disciples.
"You experienced nine reincarnations in the samsara world and are one of the rarest geniuses who managed to walk out alive. Although you have cultivated for over forty years, your mental age far surpasses your actual age. Other than this, you have also experienced many other tempering methods. Now, you actually don't have the confidence to defeat him?" The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King laughed as she stared at Hua Taixu.
Hua Taixu's countenance was as calm as ever. He had indeed experienced nine reincarnations and his heart was incomparably tough.
"I've experienced all sorts of tempering, but so has he. Many times, we only see our own hard work, neglecting the progress and growth of others." Hua Taixu spoke in a low voice, "In terms of innate talent, I'm inferior to him. Astral Souls, Bloodline Limit, these are all innate talents that cannot be made up for."
"That's true. However, there's no need for you to undervalue yourself. Your comprehension abilities and cultivation speed are both extraordinary. Although great geniuses were born late, it doesn't mean that you can't catch up to the older generation. There are many ordinary characters who relied on their firm conviction and determination to cultivate to the immortal king realm. Their combat prowess would naturally be even more terrifying." The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King spoke.
As the two of them chatted, they didn't seem like master and disciple, but more like brother and sister.
Finally, the smoke on the ancient battle platform dissipated. No one else continued to step onto that solemn ancient platform. Everyone had already experienced at least ten battles. For those who felt that their performance wasn't strong enough, they chose to experience even more battles, wanting to stand out from the crowd.
Dongsheng Ting sat on the highest seat. His gaze swept over the participants as he asked, "Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge me?"
All the geniuses remained silent, and no one continued to fight.
"Sure." Dongsheng Ting saw that no one dared to challenge him. After which, he smiled and stared at the immortal kings as he spoke, "This battle has concluded. Many geniuses have extraordinary performances. Dongsheng Ting would like to invite all the seniors to select twenty participants to advance to the next round. For those who lost three battles, there's no need to consider them. For the top twenty, they can at most have two defeats. What do all the seniors think?"
"Your highness is right." Seated beside Dongsheng Ting were a few supreme characters from the Dongshengxian Gate. All of them nodded their heads, there was no need to consider those who lost three battles.
"In that case, I would like to invite Princess Liuli to announce the names for us. Princess Liuli will point out one person for all the elders to decide if this person has the qualifications to enter the top twenty or not. Does Princess Liuli agree?" Dongsheng Ting smiled. Many of the people here were supreme characters, they would naturally be able to tell if the performance of these people was outstanding or not.
Out of these twenty participants, other than a few who might have some disputes, there were at least ten or so who would be able to advance to the next round.
Under such a solemn atmosphere, nobody would dare to lie.
"Okay." Princess Liuli wasn't humble at all and directly nodded her head in agreement. Momentarily, some of the geniuses below felt nervous, but there were even more who felt disappointment. They were very clear of their own performance. Most probably, they wouldn't have a chance to advance to the next round.
"I will directly point out the names and let the elders decide." Princess Liuli stared at the geniuses of the immortal banquet. Her eyes landed on Gusu Tianqi as she spoke, "Top ranker of the Eastern Prefecture, Gusu Tianqi. After he was defeated in the first round, he won all his battles after that, and didn't exchange more than three moves. He should be able to advance to the next round, right?"
"Gusu Tianqi will naturally advance."
"Gusu Tianqi, there's no suspense."
"Yes." The various immortal kings all expressed their opinions, none of them objected. Gusu Tianqi didn't have any objections and advanced to the top twenty.
Princess Liuli's gaze shifted, the hearts of the geniuses all seemed to move along with her.
"Top ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Feather King of the Winged Devil Race." Princess Liuli's eyes landed on Feather King as she spoke.
"Yes."
"Agreed."
The immortal kings all expressed their opinions. Without any suspense, Feather King passed, becoming the second person to advance to the next round.
Princess Liuli's beautiful eyes continued to shift. After that, the crowd only saw her gaze landing in the direction of the Cloud Prefecture. The Idlecloud Immortal King was actually somewhat agitated. The Cloud Prefecture's performance this time around was extremely outstanding, something rarely seen in history.
"Second ranker of the Cloud Prefecture, Jun Mengchen, has no defeats. After being poisoned, he still managed to kill the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King." Princess Liuli's voice was incomparably calm, her words causing the crowd to be astonished. The gazes of the crowd turned to her, before turning to the Absolute Poison Immortal King. This Princess Liuli truly didn't care about anything. The third person she pointed out was none other than Jun Mengchen, and she even claimed that Jun Mengchen killed the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King.
"Agreed." A supreme immortal king from the Dongshengxian Gate was the first to nod.
"Yes." Another person replied, not caring about the thoughts of the Absolute Poison Immortal King. After all, they had to be responsible for the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. Jun Mengchen was truly outstanding, if he could really enter the top three, he would become a Sage Child. Even if he offended an immortal king, the immortal king wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Other than a few who had a good relationship with Absolute Poison Immortal King, the others all agreed. Dongsheng Ting then announced, "No objections. Yes."
Princess Liuli's gaze didn't move. She stared at Qin Wentian who was beside Jun Mengchen as she spoke, "Qin Wentian, 27th ranker of the Cloud Prefecture, undefeated record."
The atmosphere turned silent for a moment. After that, an immortal king from the Dongshengxian Gate spoke, "Yes."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, no one objected. The Deepflame Immortal King still maintained his silence. Qin Wentian, passed.
"Zi Qingxuan, undefeated record." Princess Liuli spoke again.
Once again, no one objected. Zi Qingxuan, passed.
Staring at the three of them who seemed to be fellow apprentice brother and sister, many people couldn't help but feel bewildered. These three outstanding characters, which power nurtured them from? Why was it that no one knew about it? Even their sect wasn't present at the scene.
Other than the Dongshengxian Gate, which other power would be so powerful as to nurture three such demon-level geniuses?
Could it be that it wasn't a sect but was a supreme expert instead? This might be possible.
"Top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture, Gu Zhantian, undefeated record." Princess Liuli continued. No one objected, Gu Zhantian passed.
"Top ranker of the Qian Prefecture, Ye Qianchen."
"Top ranker of the Li Prefecture, Cang Ao."
"Top ranker of the Blazing Sun Prefecture, Dugu Xishan."
"Top ranker of the Supreme Moon Prefecture, Mo Wen."
"Top ranker of the Underworld Prefecture, Blackpeak."
Princess Liuli called out names one by one. None of these people objected and all of them passed.
In the blink of an eye, Princess Liuli had already called out eleven names. Next, there were only nine names remaining.
Naturally, these eleven names that Princess Liuli called out were all the more outstanding ones. The majority of the top ten would probably be from these eleven.
"Second ranker of the Eastern Prefecture, Xia Jiufeng." Princess Liuli called out another name. The immortal kings glanced at the participants and all expressed their approval. Given Xia Jiufeng's talent, there was no way he would pass on this position.
"Second ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Qin Ta, a heaven chosen from the Heavenly God Race." Princess Liuli spoke.
The immortal kings all expressed their approval. The second ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Qin Ta, passed.
"Third ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Sorrowless." Princess Liuli spoke again. The gazes of many turned to the monk in tattered robes. Those immortal kings all expressed their approval once again.
"The Western Desert Prefecture is so strong. The Cloud Prefecture is also extremely strong. This batch of participants is truly unexpected." Everyone saw Princess Liuli calling out names one by one. Only now did they notice that the weaker Cloud Prefecture had an outstanding performance this time around. The top three rankers of the Western Desert Prefecture all passed.
"Top ranker of the Mo Prefecture, Yan Zimo."
"Top ranker of the Rock Prefecture, Ba Shan."
"Top ranker of the Yue Prefecture, Gu Hong." Princess Liuli called out another three names. There were no objections. Although the top rankers of the three prefectures weren't as dazzling as the geniuses of the other prefectures, there was no problem for them to pass.
"There are already 17 names. Out of the thirteen prefectures, there are ten top rankers of the ten prefectures that have been chosen. There are still three other prefectures whose performances weren't outstanding enough. I'm afraid it's precisely because of this reason that Princess Liuli hasn't called out their names yet. There will definitely be disputes among them."
The hearts of everyone mused.
"Top ranker of the Thunder Prefecture, Su Feng." Princess Liuli called out Su Feng's name, causing Su Feng's expression to stiffen. How laughable, he was at the same cultivation level as Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan. He only called out his name now after suffering two defeats.
"Su Feng was defeated twice, isn't this a little inappropriate?" An immortal king spoke, causing disputes to arise.
"Su Feng was defeated twice. Both his opponents were extremely strong. As for the final decision, I will leave it to the various seniors." Princess Liuli calmly spoke. The various immortal kings discussed but when they stared at the participants, they finally decided to let Su Feng pass.
"There are still two more slots left. I'm in a difficult position." Princess Liuli smiled. For the others, there were disputes. None of them had the absolute qualifications to enter the top twenty.
"Since Princess is in a difficult position, let me make a suggestion. Before this, I've already said that the personal disciples of the various immortal kings would be included in the top twenty. Right now, the personal disciple of the Deepflame Immortal King, Blackpeak, has already entered the top twenty. I suggest that the personal disciple of the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, Hua Taixu, and the personal disciple of the Undefeatable Devil King, Ruthless, be included in the top twenty. In this way, there wouldn't be any disputes. How about it?"
Dongsheng Ting's eyes flickered with a dazzling light as he spoke. Upon hearing the two names he called out, the spectators were all taken aback. These were two extremely powerful demon-level geniuses. Given their fame, there wouldn't be any disputes if they were to enter.
