Before coming to Ruomu Region, Jing Wuhuan had explained the process of the Dao Contest to Luo Zheng in detail.
There were many True Gods who wanted to participate in the Dao Contest.
Most True Gods didn't even have the chance to come to Ruomu Region because the journey was too far.
Some of the more resolute people had traveled thousands of miles to come here. They had even used up all of their family's wealth.
Even so, these True Gods still didn't have the right to participate in the Dao Contest …
Almost 90% of the True Gods stopped at the God City. Even the West Pole Ruomu didn't have the right to go up!
Even if they climbed up Ruomu, they still had to face the Sword race's tests.
In the end, only a few hundred True Gods were qualified to participate in the Dao Contest. Most of these True Gods came from wealthy families.
Hence, there were very few True Gods who could sit in the middle of Ruomu Region and discuss the Dao!
This Ruomu Region extended countless roots into the sea. 87 of them extended all the way to the shore.
The Sword Race built eighty-seven divine cities beside the eighty-seven roots, and Ming Sword God City was one of them.
Every time the Dao Contest started, these God Cities would act as a temporary base to select candidates and send those with the most potential to Ruomu Region.
This was also one of the missions of every City Lord.
Mo Po 'er had just been appointed as the acting City Lord of Sword God City. He desperately wanted to achieve some results to strengthen his position.
He hoped to find one or two people from Sword God City who had the right to participate in the Dao Contest …
This wasn't so easy.
There were simply too few grassroots True Gods who had a solid foundation. According to the previous years, out of the 87 True Gods who were recommended, there were only about 50 to 60 people who could truly participate in the Dao struggle. Divided among the various True Gods, there was less than one person on average!
The Sword God City was actually a relatively remote god city, so this time, he had to make a move personally.
He didn't expect that he and Mo Dian would notice Luo Zheng's monstrous actions when they were observing from the city gate.
Not to mention that Luo Zheng had the original golden Sanskrit words, just seeing that he could accurately read the meaning of the two Sanskrit words was enough to shock them.
However, Luo Zheng's actions after entering the city made him seem like a rookie. This really confused Mo Po 'er.
"I think so," Luo Zheng nodded and replied.
Mo Dian glanced at Luo Zheng and asked, "Since Brother Luo is here to fight for the Dao, you must have prepared a lot. I also admire Brother Luo's speech in front of the city gate. However, why is Brother Luo unable to read normal Sanskrit? You don't seem to understand Sanskrit? "
Not to mention the seven Sanskrit characters of Luo River, Luo Zheng did not even know the famous Sanskrit characters that could be seen everywhere. This was their greatest doubt.
Luo Zheng only smiled faintly at this. "In my opinion, Sanskrit is just a language used by those creatures who are above their level. Those who can recognize it are those who can recognize it. Those who can't recognize it are those who can't recognize it. However, these True Gods in the Domain of the Gods have forcefully added their own understanding and classified it into mysterious categories. Let me ask you, are they really able to recognize this Sanskrit?"
Luo Zheng's question stunned Mo Dian.
Mo Po 'er clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Not bad! .... You've jumped out of the fence! Thinking about it, these Sanskrit words shouldn't have made up so many strange names. It's a mistake! "
Luo Zheng's words were often said by true masters of Sanskrit.
After all, those masters had their own understanding of Sanskrit, and even had experience in deciphering Sanskrit. However, such people were few and far between. Thus, they didn't care about the sects and names of the True Gods.
Mo Po 'er and Mo Dian naturally didn't know.
Luo Zheng had already come into contact with golden Sanskrit when he was still a Xiantian lifeform.
He did not study Sanskrit in the same system as the True Gods in the Divine Realm.
Even though Gu Bei had left behind many insights on Sanskrit, Luo Zheng didn't have time to digest them. He spent most of his time cultivating.
Later on, Luo Nian, who was only in his teens, seemed to have been enlightened. He began to casually decipher these Sanskrit words, giving Luo Zheng the illusion that these Sanskrit words weren't that difficult.
Now that he'd arrived at Mingjian City, Luo Zheng realized that it wasn't that Sanskrit was easy to decipher, but that Luo Nian was too monstrous.
Thus, before Luo Zheng could figure out the situation, he'd already been treated as a "Master" ….
… …
Under Mo Po 'er's warm invitation, Luo Zheng stayed the night in the manor.
The next day, Mo Po 'er personally led Luo Zheng to the west gate.
The west gate of Mingjian City was at the edge of the sea. Once you stepped out of this gate, you'd be able to step onto one of Ruo Mu's roots.
Under normal circumstances, the west gate was closed.
Only the disciples of the sword race had the right to enter.
After the battle of Dao began, all the divine cities would undergo a first round of screening. Those who didn't meet the requirements would be barred from entering. Those who passed the first round of screening would be able to successfully climb up Ruo Mu.
When Mo Po 'er brought Luo Zheng to the west of Mingjian City, they saw a long line!
Countless True Gods were lined up, waiting for Mingjian City's screening. Among them, there were hundreds of guards who were maintaining order.
"So many people …." Looking at the long line, Luo Zheng was stunned.
The winding line from the west gate was probably tens of miles long. How long would it take to screen them one by one?
Seeing Luo Zheng's shocked expression, Mo Po 'er acted as if this was nothing out of the ordinary. "The first round of screening will last for at least half a year. There aren't many people now, but after a while, there will be more. This line will stretch all the way from inside the city to outside the city …."
Hearing Mo Po 'er's words, Luo Zheng was also in disbelief.
"Wouldn't it take a few months for these people to line up?" Luo Zheng asked.
Mo Po 'er chuckled. "More than a few months. When the battle of Dao began, the True Gods at the top all started lining up here two or three years in advance. The ones at the front started lining up after the last battle of Dao ended …. They've been lining up for about ten years."
Luo Zheng was completely speechless.
"There's no choice. Some people aren't even here to participate in the battle of Dao. They're lining up so that they can transfer their spots to the True Gods who need them. The ones at the front of the line usually get a few hundred Shenwu Coins if they transfer their spots to the disciples of the big families!" Mo Po 'er said helplessly.
Many True Gods worked hard for many years and couldn't earn much Shenwu Coins.
Time wasn't worth much to True Gods. Anyway, they could cultivate while lining up. Naturally, there would be some weirdos who would take advantage of this loophole ….
Mo Po 'er glanced at Luo Zheng and smiled. "Brother Luo, I personally recommended you. Of course, you don't have to follow behind these people."
After he finished speaking, he led Luo Zheng past the long line of people that was like a dragon …
In front of the west gate, three True Gods in white robes sat at the entrance. They carved a very strange circular array on the ground.
The array was ten feet in diameter. The array pattern was made up of long swords. They were placed together, leaving a small path in the middle.
A peculiar aura was being emitted from the formation.
One of the three white-robed True Gods waved at the True God at the front of the line, indicating that True God should enter.
That True God took a deep breath, then stepped into the array.
The moment that True God stepped in, all the long swords in the array began to hum. That True God seemed to have entered a certain state. His body began to tremble.
After that True God took the first step, he couldn't take the second step no matter what.
