In the courtyard, Lu Ming realised that a portion of the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range's geniuses had already arrived.
For example, Su Yingying, Wang Kai and the others.
On top of that, Lu Ming also saw Yang Liuji, Yan Feixun, Blue Cloud and the others.
When they saw Lu Ming, their eyes flashed with killing intent.
Lu Ming smiled coldly. If he had the chance, Lu Ming wouldn't mind killing them all.
However, Jian Fengyun, Prince Tianshe, Qiu Changkong and the others were nowhere to be seen.
After taking a look around, Lu Ming returned to his room and continued to cultivate.
A few hundred thousand li away from the Myriad Star City, there was a cultivation sacred ground called the Hundred Deities Slope.
At this moment, Qiu Changkong walked out from the Hundred Deities Slope with messy hair.
His aura was several times stronger than before.
"Lu Ming, let's see how you're going to die this time."
Qiu Changkong said in a cold voice, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"Also, Jian Fengyun of the Cloud Emperor Leaderboard, it's time to give up the first place."
Qiu Changkong had been cultivating at the Hundred Deities Slope for a few months and his cultivation had improved greatly. Even his force had broken through to the Great Circle.
Whoosh!
An old man suddenly appeared beside Qiu Changkong.
"Master!"
Qiu Changkong immediately bowed respectfully.
"Changkong, although your cultivation is good, you're still not considered top-notch among the geniuses in the Tianxuan Region. There are still many uncertainties in joining the Empyrean Divine Guards!"
The old man said.
"There are so many geniuses in the Tianxuan Region?"
Qiu Changkong asked in disbelief.
With his current cultivation and battle strength, he wasn't even considered top-notch?
"The Tianxuan Region's East is vast and your generation is considered a golden age. Geniuses are popping up like bamboo shoots after a rain. It's hard to stand out."
The old man sighed and said, "However, don't be discouraged. Your talent can be considered top-notch in the entire eastern region of the Tianxuan Region. Some people are stronger than you only because they have more resources than you and their cultivation is deeper than you. You won't be weaker than them in a battle of the same level. As long as your cultivation is higher, you might be able to compete with them."
"The location of the trial is most likely the Dongming Ancient Battlefield. I know of a secret place in the Dongming Ancient Battlefield that contains great fortunate encounters. If you are able to find the fortunate encounter there, your cultivation will improve tremendously, and it's not impossible for you to become one of the top geniuses of the eastern region of the Tianxuan Region!"
After saying that, a jade talisman appeared in the elder's hand. He passed it to Qiu Changkong and said, "The information about that secret place is in this jade talisman. Take it and have a look!"
"Changkong thanks Master!"
Qiu Changkong was overjoyed. He took the jade talisman and knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowing to the elder to thank him.
"Go on. Show off your abilities in the selection of the Di Tian Divine Guards!"
The old man said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Qiu Changkong expressed his gratitude. He then moved and headed towards the Myriad Star City.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
The Cloud Emperor's courtyard was bustling with activity. Almost all the geniuses who had passed the preliminaries had arrived.
Jian Fengyun, Prince Tian She, Qiu Changkong and the others had all shown up.
However, Xie Nianqing had yet to arrive. This made Lu Ming a little worried.
Previously, Xie Nianqing had said that he would find a place to cultivate in seclusion and would rush over to the Myriad Star City. There were still two days before the start of the selection and Xie Nianqing had yet to arrive. Could he have been delayed by something?
Although Lu Ming was worried, there was nothing he could do but wait.
On this day, the leader of the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range, Old Lu Xiu, gathered everyone together and announced some matters regarding the selection.
The selection would be held in an ancient battlefield.
This ancient battlefield was called the Dongming Ancient Battlefield. It was considered a plane and was a secret place under the control of the Di Tian Divine Palace.
It was filled with dangers and opportunities.
There were three months of free time inside. In these three months, one's overall ability would be tested.
This included one's wisdom, courage, combat strength, and opportunities.
Opportunities were one's luck. Luck was also one of the most important factors for a martial artist.
Three months later, they would exit from the final exit. There were many checkpoints at the exit to filter out the reserve Di Tian Divine Guards and the official Di Tian Divine Guards.
The Di Tian Divine Guards would be selected once every five years. The location of the selection was different every time, but it was filled with opportunities and dangers.
According to Lu Xiu, the Dongming Ancient Battlefield had not been used for the selection of Di Tian Divine Guards for a hundred years. He had no idea what would happen inside.
After the announcement, Lu Xiu allowed them to move freely and gather in two days.
In the following time, they went to various bookstores in the Myriad Star City to look for books that recorded the Dongming Ancient Battlefield. They wanted to know more about the Dongming Ancient Battlefield.
The more they knew, the more confident they would be.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
However, there was still no sign of Xie Nianqing. Lu Ming felt anxious and worried.
Something must have happened to Xie Nianqing. Otherwise, she would have definitely come and missed the selection of Di Tian Divine Guards.
However, Lu Ming did not know where Xie Nianqing had gone. Otherwise, he could have gone to look for her.
"Let's not worry about that for now. Xie Nianqing is someone who will not be taken advantage of. She might not be in trouble. Let's finish the selection of Di Tian Divine Guards first!"
Lu Ming pondered.
On this day, all the geniuses in the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range gathered in a courtyard of the Cloud Emperor's residence.
Out of the ninety-seven people, only Xie Nianqing was missing. Everyone else had arrived.
Lu Xiu glanced around and did not say anything. It was normal for there to be fewer people.
"Alright, I'm sure all of you are clear about the rules of the selection. However, let me reiterate. The three months in the Dongming Ancient Battlefield are especially important. The Dongming Ancient Battlefield is an ancient land from the Primordial Era. It is vast and boundless. It is filled with danger, but it is also filled with opportunities. Some people can soar to the sky in these three months. Some people will become stepping stones for others and be killed!"
"According to my experience, it is best for all of you to work together after entering the Dongming Ancient Battlefield. This is the safest way. Take these Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmitting Talismans. Each of you will have one. You can communicate with each other in the Dongming Ancient Battlefield."
Lu Xiu took out the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmitting Talismans and distributed them to everyone.
"Thank you, Elder Lu!"
Everyone thanked Lu Xiu.
"You don't have to thank me. I only hope that more of you can join the Di Tian Divine Guards. The better your results, the more rewards I will receive."
Lu Xiu was very direct and spoke his intentions.
This made everyone have a better impression of Lu Xiu.
"Alright, let's set off now. The entrance to the Dongming Ancient Battlefield is 100,000 miles north of Myriad Star City."
After Lu Xiu finished speaking, he soared into the sky.
Everyone followed him out of the northern city gate and headed north.
At this moment, the situation was the same everywhere in Myriad Star City. Groups of geniuses soared into the sky and headed north.
The small number of people was around a hundred, and there were even dozens of people. The large number of people was in the thousands.
