There was a sharp light in the Heavenly Moon Emperor's eyes as he swept his gaze across his surroundings. Once the garden had quietened down, he continued to speak, "The first round is the elimination round! Those who have drawn the same number will form a group. All members of the group will head to Evil Spirit Mountain and return after seven days. Those who return successfully will pass the elimination round. Of course, not a single member of the group can be missing. If anyone is missing, it will be considered as a failure. "
As soon as the Heavenly Moon Emperor's grim voice fell, the crowd burst into an uproar of discussion.
One had to know that the elimination round this time not only depended on the individual's ability, but also the team's cooperation! If they were unlucky enough to be placed in the same group as the weaklings, they would not be able to pass the elimination round no matter how powerful they were!
Hence, this was what the crowd was most worried about!
The Heavenly Moon Emperor's face remained expressionless as he listened to the crowd's discussion. His voice was cold as he spoke, "Due to the dangers of this round's competition, if you run into a powerful and ferocious spiritual beast, you can shout for help! The cultivators of the Heavenly Moon Empire will naturally come to your rescue. However, if you do that, you will be considered as forfeiting the competition and your entire group will be eliminated. Hence, you must think carefully before you call for help. Furthermore, I will give you an hour to prepare. Once you're ready, follow Us to Evil Spirit Mountain! "
Evil Spirit Mountain was one of the Heavenly Moon Empire's Four Great Fearsome Lands. It was extremely dangerous and if they were to run into a ferocious spiritual beast, even a cultivator who had broken through to the refined state would not be able to escape successfully. Hence, the Heavenly Moon Emperor had sent cultivators to keep an eye on them in secret.
"If there are no objections, we'll start drawing lots now." The Heavenly Moon Emperor calmly curled the corners of his lips. "All of you are the pride of the Heavenly Moon Empire so if you're heading to Evil Spirit Mountain, you must not go too deep into it. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it will be. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Imperial Majesty!"
The crowd's hearts trembled as they replied respectfully.
The Heavenly Moon Emperor did not say anything else. He waved his hand and asked Eunuch Li to bring the lottery box over. The young geniuses who had successfully passed the registration then stepped forward to draw their lots. Hence, excited voices could be heard from time to time in the back garden. Of course, there were those who were pleasantly surprised and those who were in despair.
"Heavens, I've actually been assigned to the same group as Leng Shang. I've heard that Leng Shang has already reached the late-stage of the exceptional state and is only one step away from the refined state. If we can be in the same group, at least our safety will be guaranteed."
"F * ck, you're actually so lucky to be in the same group as a dark horse like Leng Shang. Unlike me, I'm actually in the same group as that idiot Li Qing. That idiot is basically a drag on the team! “
Compared to the man with a face full of happiness, the man with a face full of despair.
In the Heavenly Moon Empire's Competition this time, even though one's power had to be assessed in order to register, this only applied to other people. For example, people like Gu Ruoyun, whose identity was unknown and who did not have any powerful organizations backing them, would need to pass the assessment before they could register.
However, some of the young nobles in the Heavenly Moon Empire could register directly through the backstage, just like this young man named Li Qing.
It was precisely because of this that Su Lin had used the backdoor registration incident to frame Gu Ruoyun!
"Li Qing's father is a general so his family has great power. However, Li Qing is far too useless. He's simply a hopeless fool! He's still wandering around at the late-stage Martial Saint rank. If someone like him had not gone through the backdoor, he would not have been able to register at all! "
