Some matters regarding Saint Rulers shocked Jianchen. Huang Luan and Dugu Feng both came from large clans. Their clans all had Saint Ruler ancestors. Coupled with the fact that they possessed very high statuses in their clans, they knew a lot about Saint Rulers. Although Ming Dong was born in a small mountain village, he knew a lot of secrets from the hall master due to his relationship with the unfathomable hall master. His knowledge was no less than Huang Luan and Dugu Feng's.
The three of them talked about the secrets of Saint Rulers one after another. Not only did they tell Jianchen that Saint Rulers were divided into the Nine Heavenly Layers, but they also told him about the origins of Ruler Armaments and Saint Ruler skeletons.
The skeletons of Saint Rulers contained all the power of a Saint Ruler. It was completely hidden in the depths of the skeletons and could be absorbed by people to cultivate. However, the only flaw was that only Heaven Saint Masters could use the power in the skeletons because the power was just too pure and powerful. It was impossible for people below Heaven Saint Master to endure the cleansing of such power.
Moreover, the Ruler Armaments actually hid a shocking secret. They could actually revive Saint Rulers who had passed away. Although it sounded like a fantasy story and had never been done before, the fact that every Saint Ruler of the Ninth Heavenly Layer would choose to leave behind their Saint Armaments was enough to prove that the legend was not baseless. There were definitely some secrets unknown to ordinary people.
The two pieces of information greatly impacted Jianchen. He felt that this world was just too wondrous. It was incomparable to the world he had lived in before.
Dugu Feng took out a book made of unknown paper from his Space Ring and passed it to Jianchen. He said, "This is a Heaven Tier Battle Skill, but it's only suitable for people with water-attributed Saint Force to cultivate. It's useless to me, so you can have it."
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes when he heard that. He took the Heaven Tier Battle Skill and took a look. He discovered that it was a basic Heaven Tier Battle Skill and was indeed only suitable for people with water-attributed Saint Force to cultivate.
Jianchen passed the Heaven Tier Battle Skill to Huang Luan and said, "I remember that you just happen to have water-attributed Saint Force, so this Heaven Tier Battle Skill is perfect for you."
Huang Luan glanced at the Heaven Tier Battle Skill before tossing it to Jianchen. She said, "My Heaven Tier Battle Skill is of a higher level than this one. I don't need it."
"Can't you cultivate both of them together?" Jianchen asked.
Huang Luan looked at Jianchen strangely and said, "A Heaven Tier Battle Skill is already a peak battle skill on the Tian Yuan Continent. Every single Heaven Tier Battle Skill is extensive and profound. Regular people will struggle to completely comprehend a single Heaven Tier Battle Skill in their entire lives. It's not like cultivating more is better. Even if you cultivate several Heaven Tier Battle Skills, you won't be able to compare to someone who has completely comprehended a single Heaven Tier Battle Skill. As a result, unless you completely comprehend a single Heaven Tier Battle Skill, it's best not to waste time on other Heaven Tier Battle Skills. Not only will it be a waste of energy, but it'll also lead to nothing."
Jianchen felt that it was very reasonable with that, so he put the Heaven Tier Battle Skill away. Although he had no use for it, a Heaven Tier Battle Skill was a necessity for the Flame Mercenaries to grow stronger.
Jianchen took out Shi Xiangran and Jiede Wukang's Space Rings and pulled out a large pile of pitch-black tokens. They formed a small mountain on the table. There were no less than two thousand tokens in total.
"Ming Dong, you haven't been out for very long, so you probably haven't collected many tokens yet. You can take as many as you need," Jianchen said to Ming Dong.
Ming Dong immediately beamed with joy. He said, "That's great. I just happen to be lacking these things. It's not easy to find tokens right now. I've robbed quite a few people along the way, but all of their tokens have been taken away by others. As a result, I've only found less than a hundred tokens." With that, Ming Dong grabbed a large handful of tokens and stored them in his Space Ring without any hesitation.
"It's enough. Five hundred tokens should be enough for me to advance." Ming Dong only took around four hundred tokens.
"It's not enough. If you want to advance successfully, you'll need at least one thousand two hundred tokens. The number of participants isn't as small as you imagine. I estimate that there are at least five hundred thousand people, and that's just a conservative estimate," Dugu Feng said.
Jianchen was startled when he heard that. He never thought that there would be so many participants. He originally thought that there would only be a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand people, but he never thought that the actual number would be much greater than he had imagined.
Jianchen took a few tokens again. As a precaution, he had prepared a total of fifteen hundred tokens this time to ensure that he could successfully enter the top five hundred. Jianchen, Huang Luan, and Dugu Feng had already reached that number, so they didn't touch them.
Afterwards, Jianchen called over Qin Xiao, the Zither Master, Doctor An, and Yun Zheng. He planned to give the remaining tokens to them to distribute.
"I've come to protect young master Qin Xiao and not participate in the finals," the Zither Master said. The taciturn Zither Master opened her mouth and said. She then took out the dozens of tokens she had collected and donated them to everyone.
"I've only come here because of the training mission my father gave me. I don't plan on participating in the finals at all. With my current strength, participating in the finals is no different from suicide," Qin Xiao said.
Afterward, Jianchen looked at Yun Zheng and Doctor An. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, the two of them had followed Jianchen for so long, so he couldn't mistreat them no matter what.
Yun Zheng discussed with Doctor An. In the end, Yun Zheng chose to withdraw and give the opportunity to Doctor An.
"Doctor An is stronger than me and possesses earth-attributed Saint Force. At the same time, he saved my life before, so I'll give this opportunity to him," Yun Zheng said solemnly.
After they finished distributing the tokens, Jianchen took out four Class 5 Monster Cores from his Space Ring and gave two each to Doctor An and Yun Zheng. It could be considered as repayment for their efforts in protecting the cave.
"Now that we have enough tokens, all we need to do is wait patiently. In a dozen or so days, we'll be able to leave this damned place. Everyone has worked so hard for so long before, so let's have some fun in the remaining days. I'll use the things I've collected not long ago to entertain everyone." Ming Dong laughed loudly. With a wave of his hand, a huge Magical Beast's body was taken out of his Space Ring, filling up the entire tent.
"Heavens, you actually killed the Purple Gold Thunder Lion!" The Zither Master, Doctor An, and the others all looked at the huge body covered in Zi 'er's scales with shock. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Aside from Jianchen, Dugu Feng, and Huang Luan, no one else knew about Ming Dong's strength. As for Qin Xiao and the Zither Master, they still thought that Ming Dong was only a Great Saint Master a year ago.
Ming Dong laughed complacently and said, "This Purple Gold Thunder Lion was a magical beast with great talent. It was a variant and was already at the peak of Class 5. Its battle prowess was no weaker than a Heaven Saint Master's. Fortunately, it was heavily injured, which was why I was able to kill it so easily. It's just a pity that the pangolin that likes to dig into the ground was too cunning, allowing it to escape. Otherwise, I would have been able to enjoy another delicacy. Eating the meat of these high class Magical Beasts for a long time is very beneficial to the body."
After leaving the tent, Jianchen took out the things he had found in the hidden compartments of the cave and organized them. In the final moment when the cave was about to collapse, he had collected a total of three Earth Tier Battle Skills, four Earth Tier cultivation methods, and more than a dozen white jade bottles. They were all holy healing medicines. Just a whiff of their auras was enough to make one feel relaxed and happy. Needless to say, they were extremely precious. In addition, there were a few pills completely condensed from Radiant Saint Force. They were wrapped in a layer of powder that Jianchen did not know about, preventing the Radiant Saint Force from leaking out. The Radiant Saint Force within the pills shocked even Jianchen because the purity of the Radiant Saint Force had already exceeded Jianchen's current abilities.
"These healing medicines are all extraordinary. The Saint Ruler must have prepared them for himself," Jianchen thought to himself.
In the end, Jianchen took out the violet-gold box and gently opened it. A snow-white beast hide was folded inside.
Jianchen gently picked up the beast hide and carefully kneaded it. In the end, he thought of something and immediately took out two other snow-white beast hides from his Space Ring. The three beast hides were the same color and size. They seemed to have been cut up from the same beast hide.
One of the three beast hides was given to him by Jianchen's mother, Bi Yuntian. It had always been kept in the Bi family as a legacy treasure. It was extremely precious.
"Just what kind of secrets are hidden in these strange beast hides?" Jianchen stared at the three beast hides in his hand in a daze. He was filled with doubt. Jianchen had studied these beast hides for quite some time in private, but he had come up empty-handed.
Jianchen knew that it was impossible for him to find the secrets of these beast hides, so he didn't waste any time. He put the three beast hides together and stored them in his Space Ring.
In the next few days, Jianchen and the others had a relatively easy time. Because the strength of the team had reached the point where they didn't need to fear anyone, they stayed on the plains and ate roasted Purple Gold Thunder Lion meat three times a day. They had a relatively leisurely time, quietly waiting for the end of the elimination round.
However, Jian Chen was not idle. Apart from eating, he spent the rest of his time in his tent, painstakingly studying the Heaven Tier Battle Skill he had obtained in the cave, the Heaven Tier Battle Skill, the Art of Stealing Heaven's Fortune. This Battle Skill directly increased his strength by several times, which was extremely helpful to Jian Chen.
During this time, quite a few people discovered Jianchen's team, but they all watched from afar. No one came to disturb them, afraid that they would accidentally offend someone with a bad temper and lose their lives.
Three days before the end of the elimination round, bad news arrived. In the north, three powerful people had appeared, and every single one of them possessed Saint Force of the Light Attribute. This kind of Saint Force was extremely rare on the Tian Yuan Continent, and the people who possessed this kind of Saint Force were all called Radiant Warriors. At the same time, they were also known as the Undying.
This was because once they were injured in battle, they would quickly recover through their healing abilities. In a battle of the same level, it would be very difficult to kill them unless they were killed in a single strike.
The Radiant Warriors all possessed the same abilities as Radiant Saint Masters. They could control Radiant Saint Force to heal themselves, but unlike Radiant Saint Masters, their Radiant Saint Force could only be used by themselves. They couldn't heal others like Radiant Saint Masters.
The appearance of the three people who could control Radiant Saint Force immediately led to many discussions. This was because Saint Force of the Light Attribute was just too rare on the Tian Yuan Continent. Almost at the same time, everyone began to compare the three of them to the five great experts. For a moment, all sorts of rumors began to spread.
Some people said that they had personally seen a Radiant Warrior behead a Class 5 Magical Beast with a single strike.
Others said that they had personally seen a Radiant Warrior kill over a dozen Earth Saint Masters at the same time.
No matter what the rumors were, they all demonstrated the strength of the three Radiant Warriors.
Jianchen felt some pressure when he heard the legends about the three of them. He had visited many places on the Tian Yuan Continent and met many people, but this was the first time he had heard of people who possessed Saint Force of the Light Attribute. This was because Saint Force of the Light Attribute was just too rare on the Tian Yuan Continent.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Today was the day of the elimination round.
Jianchen and the others had already put away their tents. They sat on the ground and waited quietly. More than half a day later, the originally bright sky suddenly darkened. The entire horizon instantly turned gray. Then, a powerful energy fluctuation that could shake one's heart swept through the sky, wreaking havoc in the air.
The sky grew darker and darker. The entire world seemed eerie and sinister. The violent energy constantly wreaked havoc in the sky. In the end, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky. It seemed like the sky had been forcefully cleaved apart by someone.
The crack rapidly expanded in all directions. Very soon, it filled the entire sky. Looking at it now, the entire sky had become pitch-black. There was no light at all, nor was there a single star. It was extremely oppressive.
Suddenly, a great suction force appeared from above. It was so great that Jianchen and the others felt like they were unable to resist it.
The world seemed to have completely collapsed. The entire world was enveloped in a layer of darkness. Jianchen was unable to see anything at all. He could only feel his body being enveloped by an irresistible force as it constantly rose into the sky.
… …
The darkness did not last for long. After about twenty breaths of time, the darkness that shrouded the sky finally shattered, and the world returned to its original state. However, compared to before, there was no one in this world. Everyone who stayed in this world had been teleported out.
