The Supreme Mystic Immortal King instantly understood the meaning of the Deepflame Immortal King's words. Qin Wentian had actually offended his Majesty before and was abandoned by him. In this case, it was truly impossible for Qin Wentian to enter the top three.
Only to see the Deepflame Immortal King turning his gaze onto Qin Wentian as he continued, "Back then, you've already missed your chance. If you want to make a comeback, it won't be so easy. If you enter the top three again, maybe his Majesty might look at you in a different light. But the top three positions are destined not to belong to you."
"The ending hasn't arrived yet, aren't you being too decisive?" Qin Wentian stared at the Deepflame Immortal King as he spoke.
The lips of the Deepflame Immortal King curled up in a cold smile. This person was truly naive. Did he really think that the reason why his Majesty didn't accept him as a disciple back then was because he had angered his Majesty? Now, he wanted to use his outstanding performance to convince his Majesty?
How laughable, Qin Wentian's hopes were destined to be dashed.
Naturally, it was impossible for the Deepflame Immortal King to tell Qin Wentian about this. He turned and spoke in a low voice, "Some things are already destined. They can't be changed with hard work."
The meaning behind his words was extremely profound.
"Some things, until the very end, you will never know the ending." Qin Wentian replied. If the Deepflame Immortal King carefully pondered over this sentence, he might discover that there was a deeper meaning behind it as well. However, the Deepflame Immortal King didn't think too deeply about it. He only felt that Qin Wentian didn't know the immensity of the Heavens and Earth. Qin Wentian still believed that he would be able to enter the top three, hence he used this sentence to reply to him.
However, did he really understand what Qin Wentian was trying to say?
Just like what he had said earlier, some things were already destined. It wasn't something that could be changed even with hard work. On the surface, this might seem to be mocking Qin Wentian's talent, but in reality, Qin Wentian understood that no matter how high his talent was, the top three rankers would still be able to block him from entering.
But what about Qin Wentian's words?
There were some things that you would never know until the very end …
The Deepflame Immortal King took his wine cup and walked away, chatting happily with the other immortal kings. It was as though the humiliation he received from Qin Wentian earlier didn't affect his mood at all. As for the Supreme Mystic Immortal King, he cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian as he sighed in his heart, feeling pity. He initially wanted to accept either Qin Wentian or Jun Mengchen as his disciples. Even if they were truly fortunate enough to become sage child characters, he would still be able to guide them.
But now … Immortal King Supreme Profundity shook his head and left without saying anything more.
"So noisy, the ghosts won't go away." Jun Mengchen stared at the back view of the Deepflame Immortal King as he clenched his fists tightly. This Deepflame Immortal King had always been their enemy, pestering them with no intention of letting them off.
"Qin Wentian, I believe you can do it." Gu Liufeng patted Qin Wentian's shoulder as he spoke.
"Mhm, although you didn't manage to enter the top twenty this time around, don't be discouraged." Qin Wentian spoke to Gu Liufeng. He still remembered back then when he first met Gu Liufeng, Gu Liufeng's demeanor was unmatched throughout the generations.
"Don't worry, I'm not that weak. Maybe, my personality has changed, I'm inferior to you and Hua Taixu. Back in our particle world, I was a peerless genius. But when I came to the immortal realms, I saw many people who could suppress me, causing my personality to change. Maybe, I should learn from Hua Taixu and roam the immortal realms." Gu Liufeng spoke in a low voice.
"Mhm, I believe in you." Qin Wentian smiled. There were simply too many geniuses in the immortal realms. If the geniuses of particle worlds didn't improve in the immortal realms, they truly couldn't be considered anything. After entering the immortal realms, you still needed to improve step by step. The people here were the most outstanding geniuses in the thirteen prefectures. Which one of them wouldn't be a peerless genius if they were placed in their particle worlds?
"Next, the cultivation bases of the top twenty are all different. I wonder what rules will be used to select the top ten. I think that they will suppress their cultivation bases to the same level or it wouldn't be fair." Gu Liufeng spoke in a low voice. Everyone's cultivation base was different, it was truly difficult to compare.
On the great platform, those immortal kings were also discussing the rules for the next round.
For the top twenty, the top ten would be selected. In truth, they only needed to make it relatively fair. There was no way to make it absolute. There were many methods they could use to choose from, but the crucial point still depended on Dongsheng Ting's will. After all, he was the host of this immortal banquet on behalf of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
The immortal banquet was extremely lively. Those eliminated geniuses also gradually accepted the atmosphere of the immortal banquet. Although they missed this opportunity, they would still be core disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate in the future. They could even become elites and have a chance to enter the tutelage of a supreme existence of the Dongshengxian Gate. As long as they were willing to work hard, they would definitely have a glorious future ahead of them.
For the outstanding disciples of the Dongshengxian Gate, many of them would become hegemons of a region after they entered the thirteen prefectures. If they could cultivate to the immortal king realm, they would even have the chance to control an entire prefecture. Such authority could be said to be towering over the heavens.
Although immortal kings weren't that dazzling here, what sort of place was this? The immortal banquet of the Dongshengxian Gate was organized for the sake of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. Immortal kings naturally wouldn't be that dazzling. Even for the Idlecloud Immortal King and the others, one couldn't ignore their authority.
How vast was a prefecture? In the Cloud Prefecture, there were a total of eighty-one counties and countless cities. The Idlecloud Immortal King was the king of the prefecture, he could call the wind and summon the rain in the Cloud Prefecture.
Although they were sitting together with the immortal kings now, this didn't mean that they truly felt that they have reached this level of status. It was only because this was an immortal banquet and they had to go through many tests to obtain this qualification. This proved that they had the potential to sit together with the immortal kings. As for their future, it would depend on how far they could reach in the future.
As they chatted, time flowed by unknowingly. Dongsheng Ting returned to his seat and the various immortal kings also gradually quietened down as they returned to their seats. The experts below all soon quietened down. That powerful aura instantly caused them to feel a sense of imposingness from Dongsheng Ting.
Dongsheng Ting swept his gaze over everyone as he spoke, "Before this, I discussed with Princess Liuli and some of the immortal king elders and have already decided on the rules for the next round. For this round, we will choose ten participants from the twenty participants. For this round, there will be no ranking system and the top ten participants will all have their own rewards. The rewards will be given out after the immortal banquet ends. Naturally, for the top three rankers, their rewards are the most valuable. If you want to enter the top three, you must first enter the top ten."
"The rules are very simple. Just follow the order of the names called out by Princess Liuli earlier. One by one, all of you will challenge those who are at the same level as you, there's no need to suppress your cultivation base. But for those who are at a different level, I will use treasures to suppress your cultivation base to the same level. The victors will temporarily be safe and for the losers, after the first round of battle ends, you will still have a chance to challenge your opponent. For those who are defeated, they will be eliminated."
Dongsheng Ting slowly continued, "And there's one more point. For those who have already been defeated, the others cannot choose to challenge them again. I will give them a chance to take the initiative to prevent a situation where two powerful characters suppress a single genius. Everyone should be clear of this, right?"
The spectators nodded their heads. Dongsheng Ting had already explained things very clearly. They naturally understood.
"For the first battle, Gusu Tianqi, get on the platform." Dongsheng Ting's gaze swept over, landing in the direction of the Eastern Prefecture.
Gusu Tianqi's silhouette flickered as he directly appeared on the platform. Momentarily, the other nineteen participants all felt extremely nervous. If Gusu Tianqi chose to fight against them, the probability of them losing was extremely high. In that case, they would only have one chance to take the initiative and challenge someone else. For those who lost both battles, they would be eliminated.
"Supreme Moon Prefecture, Mo Wen."
Gusu Tianqi emotionlessly spoke. Upon seeing him choosing Mo Wen, some people were extremely shocked.
Mo Wen was the top ranker of the Supreme Moon Prefecture. Among the top twenty, only she and Zi Qingxuan were females.
However, the spectators instantly understood the reason why Gusu Tianqi chose Mo Wen. Maybe to him, it was the same no matter who he challenged. But since Mo Wen had the same cultivation base as him, there was no need for them to suppress their cultivation bases and they could directly fight against each other.
Gusu Tianqi didn't like trouble. A simple and straightforward battle would naturally be the best.
Mo Wen's silhouette flickered as she swiftly appeared on the platform. She was clad in an icy-blue robe, exuding an extraordinary aura. Her countenance was fair and clean, akin to a snow maiden of ice, pure and untainted by dust.
"Mo Wen, can she fight against Gusu Tianqi?"
Jun Mengchen mumbled. Staring at the maiden before him, a trace of concern could be seen in his eyes.
"Somewhat difficult, but Mo Wen isn't ordinary either. Even if Gusu Tianqi wants to fight against her, he would have to bring out his true strength." Qin Wentian spoke. After the three of them saw Mo Wen ascending the platform, all of them were paying close attention to Mo Wen.
Because, Mo Wen came from the same place as them.
Mo Wen of the Supreme Moon Prefecture, a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
In the top twenty, other than the three of them, there was another disciple from the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Mo Wen.
Out of the top twenty, four of them were from the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
From the start till the end, they didn't even greet each other. In fact, they didn't even reveal any hints of their intentions, only silently observing each other's existence.
Mo Wen, who was clad in icy-blue robes, appeared extremely calm. When she saw the blazing battle light radiating from Gusu Tianqi, a crisp crackling sound rang out in her surroundings as a world of ice appeared. The temperature of the surroundings abruptly plummeted.
"How cold." Even those seated far away from Gu Zhantian could feel the coldness radiating from Mo Wen. What was even more terrifying was that right now, Mo Wen's black hair had transformed into strands of icy silver, akin to sharp swords that hung behind her back. Her entire person seemed to have undergone a transformation. That frosty beauty's body was now covered with a layer of dream-like aura, resembling a true ice queen.
Dongsheng Ting's attack bore down on Mo Wen, exuding an incomparably resplendent light that was as dazzling as the sun. But when his attack neared Mo Wen, it felt as though even the light of the sun had turned into ice. Crackling sounds rang out, the fist light Dongsheng Ting blasted out was actually frozen solid. From this, one could very well imagine how terrifying this coldness was!
An ice spear shot out, and as crisp crackling sounds rang out, the frozen fist light shattered apart. That fearsome attack of Dongsheng Ting's was instantly neutralized.
"This Mo Wen also has a unique physique, it seems to be the rarely seen Innate Frost King Physique." An immortal king mumbled. If it wasn't for the fact that Gusu Tianqi was incomparably confident, he wouldn't have chosen Mo Wen for his first battle!
