Dongsheng Ting stared at everyone as a smile appeared on his face. The rewards for the top three rankers, given the generosity of the Dongshengxian Gate, would surely be at the immortal-king grade.
A treasure of this level was something even immortal-foundation experts had no way to touch. Yet, the top three rankers of this immortal banquet actually had a chance to obtain it. How valuable was this?
"For this immortal banquet, the reward for the first ranker is a Sky Roc Rune Bone. This sky roc is the mount of one of the four paragons of our Dongshengxian Gate. Ordinary immortal kings all refer to him as Paragon Sky Roc, an immortal-foundation greater demon with supreme strength. This rune bone contains the essence energy of Paragon Sky Roc within it."
Dongsheng Ting spoke, causing the hearts of many immortal kings of the Dongshengxian Gate to tremble.
Paragon Sky Roc, that incomparably lofty and lofty sky roc. If one could obtain the rune bone, it would definitely be extremely beneficial to one's comprehension. One could even sense the might of Paragon Sky Roc.
Below, countless immortal-foundation experts felt their hearts pounding. If they could obtain the rune bone, how good would that be?
Sadly, only the top three rankers would be able to obtain it.
"The reward for the second ranker is also a treasure left behind by a paragon of our Dongshengxian Gate. This paragon once cultivated in a mountain rampart for thousands of years and after that, the rampart transformed into an immortal rampart, containing the insights and insights of that paragon. In fact, one could even see the essence energy of that paragon. It's extremely valuable."
Dongsheng Ting continued, causing another round of exclamations of shock. Even immortal kings would want to obtain it.
The four paragons of the Dongshengxian Gate were characters that followed the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor in his expeditions. They were supreme existences of the Dongshengxian Gate, the four strongest subordinates of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
"The reward for the third ranker is an immortal-king ranked divine weapon. Because your strength is insufficient to unleash the power of a divine weapon of this level, this is a flying-type divine weapon." Dongsheng Ting slowly spoke. An immortal-king ranked divine weapon was ranked third. What concept was this?
The three rewards were all immortal-king ranked treasures.
"Are you satisfied now?" Dongsheng Ting smiled at Jun Mengchen.
"Haha, in that case, I will get one of them." Jun Mengchen laughed heartily. His tone was still casual, but it also gave off an extremely arrogant feeling.
It was as if he had already locked onto the top three spots. This was no ordinary level of arrogance.
The remaining top ten were all Transcendents. Which one of them wasn't a peerless character? Top three was easier said than done.
Other than Qin Wentian and the other two demon-level geniuses, the others — Gusu Tianqi, Feather King, Hua Taixu, Ruthless, Ye Qianchen, Qin Ta, and Mo Wen. Every time the spectators saw these ten people, they would feel a headache. They had a feeling that eliminating any one of them was an extremely cruel thing.
"I have a question I wish to consult your highness." At this moment, Princess Liuli spoke. Dongsheng Ting smiled, "Princess, please speak."
"Hua Taixu and Ruthless are part of the top ten. In that case, will they be included in the final rankings?" Princess Liuli asked. Hua Taixu and Ruthless were the disciples of the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King and the Undefeatable Devil King respectively. Not only that, the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King wasn't someone from the Dongshengxian Gate. What would happen if they were to be part of the top three? Would the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor also accept them as his personal disciples?
"Naturally, they will be included. Since they are part of the top three, the rewards will still belong to them. My royal father won't force them to do things against their will, they can freely choose if they want to take my royal father as their master or not. Everyone will be treated equally." Dongsheng Ting laughed heartily, exuding an aura of elegance.
"Mhm, I understand." Princess Liuli's countenance didn't change, but her heart was as clear as a mirror. Hua Taixu and Ruthless participating in the selection test was also a ploy by Dongsheng Ting. If the two of them were to become part of the top three, the other participants would naturally have no qualifications to take the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor as their master. If not, if others were to say that the talents of the immortal emperor's disciples were inferior to the disciples of the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King and the Undefeatable Devil King, wouldn't that be too good to hear?
What sort of character was the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor? Even if he didn't accept many disciples, he wouldn't allow such words to appear. Although in truth, it was impossible for all the disciples of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor to be more talented compared to the disciples of the other immortal kings, at the very least, such words must not appear in this once-a-hundred-year immortal banquet. Everything that happened here would surely be circulated around the immortal realms.
"Your highness, the ranking test of the top ten has to be carried out with extreme caution. We can't use a single battle to determine the rankings. I suggest we use three rounds of battles, just like how the top ten participants suppressed their cultivation bases to compete against each other. This is the most direct test of combat prowess, there has to be such a battle. As for the first two rounds, we can invite the immortal kings here to act, testing their will and temperament."
At this moment, a supreme immortal king from the Dongshengxian Gate spoke in a low voice. "Naturally, as for the specifics, your highness has to make the final decision. I'm merely giving you a suggestion."
"What you said is logical. Combat prowess is the most important test. Since their cultivation bases are different, it's best to suppress one's cultivation base and fight against each other. However, we can't use a single battle to determine everything." Dongsheng Ting smiled and nodded. "Let's do as you say. There will be three rounds and the rankings will be determined after each round. It's best if we use the results of the three rounds to determine the final ranking."
"Your highness will make the decision." The immortal kings at the side nodded in agreement.
"For the first round, we shall hand it over to the Dream Demon King. It's most suitable for the Dream Demon King to be the one testing the top ten." Dongsheng Ting glanced at an immortal king not far away from him. This immortal king was clad in black robes but he was currently leaning against a chair, sleeping leisurely as though he was in a deep sleep.
Dongsheng Ting didn't mind, he knew that the Dream Demon King had heard his words. This Dream Demon King was definitely the nightmare of many experts. He could kill in his dreams and was one of the most terrifying existences in the Dongshengxian Gate.
"Indeed, it's very suitable for the Dream Demon King to be the one testing the top ten." The immortal kings laughed.
"However, it's still early now. Let's let them rest for a while more before we continue drinking." Dongsheng Ting raised his wine cup and toasted the immortal kings. The group of them chatted, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"Senior brother." At this moment, Jun Mengchen stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. Qin Wentian turned to Jun Mengchen only to hear Jun Mengchen transmitting his voice to him, "Senior brother, you have a grudge with Dongsheng Ting and Deepflame. Before this, the Deepflame Immortal King hinted that you are destined to not be able to enter the top three. In addition, this Dongsheng Ting has always been very polite, like a smiling tiger. Would he intentionally target you in the final round?"
Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed, he didn't expect Jun Mengchen to have thought of this point. Before this, he heard Dongsheng Ting saying that there would be three rounds and the final round would be a head-on battle. The rules were all set by Dongsheng Ting and it wasn't impossible for Dongsheng Ting to target him.
"Mengchen, if they really want to target us, all three of us might be targeted. Let's counter soldiers with generals and do our best. During the most important round, they wouldn't be able to target us even if they wanted to." Qin Wentian replied. Jun Mengchen nodded his head, "If they really want to target us, let's turn the heavens and earth upside down."
The three of them chatted but Dongsheng Ting's carefree voice drifted over, "Everyone, the rules for the top ten have already been set. For the first round, the Dream Demon King shall act. Now, the top ten geniuses, please step onto the battle platform."
When the ten geniuses heard this, they respectively stepped onto the platform and stood in different locations.
The Dream Demon King was still sleeping, it was like he had never woken up before.
"For this round, the Dream Demon King will act. Whoever can no longer persist will be ranked last, and the one who can persist till the end will be ranked first. Naturally, this is merely the ranking for the first round. For the next three rounds, there will be rankings for all participants. At the very end, the overall ranking will be determined." Dongsheng Ting slowly spoke. He then stared at the Dream Demon King and continued, "Now, senior can act."
There were no signs or auras. The Dream Demon King didn't even move but at this instant, the ten geniuses on the platform suddenly felt the scene before their eyes changing. They were no longer on the battle platform.
"Dreamscape." Qin Wentian's countenance flickered. Right now, around him was a vast land. He was brought into the dreamscape of the Dream Demon King.
Soundless and formless. Too powerful, he instantly entered the dreamscape.
Qin Wentian stared at his surroundings, there was nothing here. He found a stone platform and sat cross-legged as he closed his eyes to meditate.
The silence in this space was so terrifying that it was terrifying. In fact, there were no signs of life at all. It was as though he was exiled into this dreamscape.
Time seemed to pass by a very long time. Qin Wentian calmed his heart and focused, not caring about external matters.
But at this moment, his eyes opened. In front of him, a silhouette appeared. This silhouette was pure and flawless, akin to a snow lotus on an ice mountain. That perfect body was flawless, and her beautiful eyes were so clear and penetrating.
"Qing'er." Qin Wentian mumbled. He stared at the silhouette that appeared, "Are you okay?"
Qing'er's countenance changed as a soul-stirring smile appeared on her face.
"This is just a dream, how can you appear here?" Qin Wentian laughed in self-mockery. But he truly missed Qing'er. As he thought of this, his lips curled up in a smile as many scenes flashed before his eyes. The time he spent with Qing'er all flashed before his eyes. From the first time they met in the Celestial Lake Palace, Qing'er was instructed by Fairy Qingmei to follow him.
Bit by bit, these scenes appeared in his vision. Qin Wentian was immersed in his memories. Traces of longing could be seen in his eyes.
"This is the dreamscape of the Dream Demon King. Am I unable to stabilize my state of mind? I'm actually missing Qing'er." Qin Wentian silently mused. He discovered that at this moment, he was no longer in the wilderness. Instead, he was truly immersed in his memories. These memories were like a dream that was happening right now.
Abruptly, Qin Wentian felt his entire body turning cold as cold sweat appeared on his back. He also cultivated the Mandate of Dreams. This wasn't the dream of the Dream Demon King, it was his dream.
The Dream Demon King was spying on his dreams, spying on his memories.
"No …" Qin Wentian guarded his mind, wanting to block out all distracting thoughts. However, he discovered that the scenes of the past flashed before his eyes one after another. At this moment, it wasn't only about Qing'er, it was also about himself.
The spectators naturally didn't know what was happening to them. The top ten geniuses all stood on the platform unmoving. The Dream Demon King didn't move at all from the start to the end. Only Dongsheng Ting's eyes gleamed brightly as he stared at the participants. When his gaze landed on Qin Wentian, it would flicker with sharpness!
