Crown Prince Longzun, Lan Haichao, Murong Xiao, Li Xiaoxiao, and Wang Yue.
These five were all at the Third Heavenly Layer of Creation realm. Longzun was at the early stage, while the other four were a few years older than Longzun. They were all at the peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of Creation realm.
The five of them were considered the most likely candidates to win the championship.
As for the Intermediate Sword Of Gojoseon and Advanced Sword Of Gojoseon, Chu Mu only skimmed through them. After all, he would not fight with them.
"Their information is still not comprehensive enough." Jiang Landlord smiled. "Although Young Master Chu's cultivation is only at the early stage of the Second Heavenly Layer of Creation realm, you were able to defeat a four-star Sword Of Gojoseon in ten moves. Many Samsung Sword Of Gojoseon geniuses can't do that."
"It's not unreasonable for the five of them to be considered the most likely candidates to win the championship," Chu Mu said with a smile.
Indeed, from the information, it could be seen that the five of them were not to be underestimated. They were powerful, and they must have mastered a secret technique to increase their strength. Once they used it, they would be even more powerful.
In the end, information was just information. Every peerless genius had their own trump cards. They wouldn't use them easily, and they wouldn't let others know about them.
Even so, Chu Mu was confident that he could compete with them, and even defeat them all.
Besides Chu Mu himself, no one else knew about his situation. His cultivation was at the Second Heavenly Layer of Creation realm, but the quantity and quality of his sword energy was comparable to that of a Fourth Heavenly Layer of Creation realm.
In terms of cultivation strength, Chu Mu was not inferior to Crown Prince Longzun and the others. On the contrary, he might even surpass them. Of course, Crown Prince Longzun and the others cultivated extraordinary techniques. The quantity and quality of their sword energy would definitely be higher than that of an ordinary Samsung Sword Of Gojoseon.
However, Chu Mu believed that the five champions were not complete. Perhaps some of them had hidden their strength and were waiting for the final moment to explode. They would appear as dark horses and aim for the championship.
Before leaving, Jiang Landlord also told Chu Mu not to feel too much pressure. He just had to fight with all his heart. Whether or not he could become the champion would be up to fate.
In fact, although Jiang Landlord thought highly of Chu Mu, he didn't think that Chu Mu would be able to win the championship. After all, there were many powerful low-grade Sword Of Gojoseon, and each of them could fight across star ranks. As for Chu Mu, he was only a two-star Sword Of Gojoseon, and his level was lower than theirs.
Chu Mu smiled and didn't answer. He didn't need to answer because when the time came, Pavilion Master Jiang and the others would know who the champion was.
After Lord Jiang left, Chu Mu flipped through the information once more. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile as he thought to himself, "This championship is mine for sure. Everything that stands in my way will be crushed under my sword."
Putting down the information, Chu Mu began to cultivate again.
The name of the champion gradually spread out and became the topic of discussion.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
The Rising Dragon Pageant had officially begun. All the participating Sword Of Gojoseon left their resting rooms and arrived at the venue.
This was an open-air palace. There were countless seats all around, enough to seat hundreds of thousands of spectators. In the center, there was a huge platform that could hold tens of thousands of people. All the Sword Kings participating in the Rising Dragon Grand Assembly were gathered here.
According to the three stages, they were divided into low-grade Sword Of Gojoseon, mid-grade Sword Of Gojoseon, and high-level Sword Of Gojoseon.
Chu Mu swept his gaze over the crowd. The low-grade Sword Of Gojoseon had the most people, close to two thousand. The mid-grade Sword Of Gojoseon had the second most people, close to one thousand three hundred. The high-level Sword Of Gojoseon had the least, less than six hundred.
Close to four thousand Sword Of Gojoseon had gathered here. Even if they did not do it deliberately, their bodies still emitted traces of sharpness that converged into one and filled the huge platform, shocking everyone.
"Is that Crown Prince Long Zun? He is indeed a dragon among men. "
"I see him. He has an imposing appearance and an extraordinary aura. As expected of the most talented crown prince in the history of the True Dragon Dynasty."
"I'm sure that the champion of the low-grade Sword Of Gojoseon will definitely be Crown Prince Long Zun."
"I don't think so. Crown Prince Long Zun is indeed very powerful, but his cultivation base is not as good as the other four. Moreover, his grasp of the Sword Dao is not as profound as the other four. He has not reached the stage of transforming his sword intent, so it's hard to say who will be the champion."
"In any case, I think that the champion of the low-grade Sword Of Gojoseon will definitely be one of the five."
"That's not necessarily true. What if a dark horse appears?"
"Dark horse? Are you talking about the two Sword Of Gojoseon whose cultivation base is only at the second Heavenly Layer of Creation? "
In an instant, the spearhead was pointed at Chu Mu.
However, among the nearly two thousand low-grade Sword Of Gojoseon, the most eye-catching ones were undoubtedly the five champions, as well as Chu Mu and another person.
This was because other than Chu Mu and a very young-looking Sword Of Gojoseon, the other Sword Of Gojoseon's cultivation base were all at the third Heavenly Layer of Creation. Even the weakest was at the initial third Heavenly Layer. Only Chu Mu and the young-looking Sword Of Gojoseon's cultivation base were at the second Heavenly Layer of Creation.
However, Chu Mu's cultivation base was at the initial second Heavenly Layer of Creation, while the young-looking Sword Of Gojoseon's cultivation base was at the advanced second Heavenly Layer of Creation.
Regardless of whether they were at the initial or advanced second Heavenly Layer of Creation, they could not be compared with those at the third Heavenly Layer of Creation. Therefore, Chu Mu and the Sword Of Gojoseon, who seemed to be less than twenty years old, became the focus of discussion.
The mid-grade Sword Of Gojoseon's group consisted entirely of six-star Sword Of Gojoseon. However, the high-grade Sword Of Gojoseon's group was different. Most of them were eight-star Sword Of Gojoseon, with a few nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon.
At this moment, countless rays of light shot up into the sky in the distance, emitting sharp whistling sounds. Balls of light shot up into the sky like fireworks. They soared into the sky and exploded a thousand meters in the air. They scattered and were extremely dazzling, attracting the attention of countless people.
In the sky above the True Dragon Dynasty, countless dazzling rays of light were like a gathering of stars. Vaguely, the rays of light formed a huge light dragon that soared in the sky and let out earth-shattering roars.
When that roar died down, nine more vigorous and powerful chants rang out in succession, resounding through the sky. The chants carried an astonishing might and a terrifying pressure that covered the sky and covered the earth. It swept past everyone, causing their bodies to tremble.
Then, a group of huge figures appeared in the distance. Everyone squinted their eyes and saw nine ferocious-looking flood dragons.
Each flood dragon was more than a hundred meters long. They were dark green all over, with barbs growing out of their heads. They looked extremely ferocious and tough.
The aura emitted by each flood dragon was so strong that it made the swordsmen present shudder. It was as if they could sweep away and crush everything.
Just one of the nine flood dragons was enough to sweep away nearly two thousand Sword Of Gojoseon on the platform.
"Imperial beasts … These flood dragons are imperial beasts …" The voice was trembling.
"I've heard that there are flood dragons in the True Dragon Dynasty. So it's true. And there are nine of them. Judging by their power, ordinary Nirvana Realm swordsmen are no match for them."
Primordial Ferocious Beasts were also divided into different levels. King Beasts were for Sword Of Gojoseon, Emperor Beasts were for Nirvana Realm swordsmen, and Saint Beasts were for Sword Saints.
Flood dragons were of a higher level among Primordial Ferocious Beasts. They had extraordinary bloodlines and strong combat abilities. They were like the top geniuses of the human race. Flood dragons could definitely sweep away most Primordial Ferocious Beasts of the same level.
Ordinary Nirvana Realm swordsmen were no match for the nine flood dragons at all.
The appearance of the nine flood dragons was shocking, but what was even more shocking was the chariot behind them.
It was a huge and gorgeous chariot. There were nine lifelike dragon carvings on the chariot, as if they were flying in the sky. The four wheels of the chariot were rolling in the void, burning with golden flames. It was like a chariot of the sun, streaking across the sky, leaving a golden trail.
The person sitting in the chariot immediately became the center of the world, the focus of countless people's eyes.
He wore a crown with nine dragons on his head and a robe with nine dragons on his body. His pale golden face was extremely majestic. When he opened and closed his eyes, sharp light pierced through the void. His aura was like that of a monarch.
"It's the emperor of the True Dragon Dynasty …"
Under the gaze of countless people, the nine flood dragons pulled the chariot to the edge of the platform.
"Greetings, Your Majesty …" Some swordsmen bowed ninety degrees to the emperor in the sky.
The True Dragon Dynasty didn't have a rule about kneeling. When meeting the emperor, they only needed to bow ninety degrees to show respect.
This bow was the bow of a subject to the emperor. Soon after, the other swordsmen all followed suit, including Chu Mu, because this bow was the bow of a younger generation to an elder, the bow of a weak person to a strong person.
The True Dragon Emperor wasn't just the emperor of the True Dragon Dynasty. He himself was a powerful Saint, even though he was only at the First Heavenly Layer of the Aeonic Era.
Every Sword Saint was the main force of the human race. They were the protectors of the human race, not to mention a Sword Saint like the True Dragon Emperor who had the bloodline of a true dragon. He was much stronger than ordinary Sword Saints of the same level.
"Everyone, please rise." A majestic voice resounded. "The Rising Dragon Pageant is held once every hundred years in the True Dragon Dynasty. The winners of the three groups can all enter the Dragon Yuan Pond to cultivate. Whether they're swordsmen of the True Dragon Dynasty or not, they're all part of the human race. I've always hoped that the human race would prosper and produce geniuses."
"I'm sure all the geniuses have been waiting for the pageant to begin for a long time. I won't say much." The True Dragon Emperor smiled faintly. "I declare that the Rising Dragon Pageant of the True Dragon Dynasty begins now."
As soon as the True Dragon Emperor finished speaking, the platform in the middle suddenly changed. With a rumble, the three groups of Sword Of Gojoseon soared into the sky, looking at the changes below in surprise.
The huge platform slowly sank. Lights of various colors flashed. The ground shook and rumbled. It was as if the world had changed.
The three platforms slowly floated up from below, protruding out of the ground.
The three platforms were of the same size and were arranged in a triangular formation. Each platform protruded ten meters from the ground and covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters. Colorful lights shrouded the high platforms, forming an inverted semicircle that emitted a shocking aura fluctuation like a surging tide.
