The moment he opened his eyes, the scenery around him changed drastically.
The green hills and clear waters disappeared and were replaced by a barren valley, where not even a blade of grass grew.
After five years of seclusion, Wutian had finally comprehended the imprisonment.
The imprisonment was called Nine Grief Prison. As the name implied, it could trap all Tribulation Transformation Stage experts.
* Rumble … *
At the same time, the clouds surged and thunder rumbled in the sky.
This was the sign of the Heavenly Tribulation, but it wasn't Wutian's tribulation. It was Han Tian and Di Tian's!
After five years of cultivation, the two could have broken through long ago, but seeing that Wutian hadn't woken up yet, they were afraid of disturbing him, so they forcefully suppressed it.
Now that Wutian had come out of seclusion, they naturally had no reason to continue suppressing it.
Di Tian opened his eyes, and beams of flame-like light burst out. He looked up at Wutian and said, "Quickly send us to the Star Realm."
Wutian nodded. With a thought, the two instantly disappeared. The dark clouds in the sky also quickly dissipated, and the thunder stopped.
"Nine Grief Prison can only be broken by False Sacred Overlords. Perhaps I should thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Wutian stood up and reached out his hand, grabbing the restriction talisman. His face was cold as his voice echoed in the Star Realm, "Sixth Brother, give me the recorded image."
As his voice fell, the space in front of him distorted, and an image quickly appeared. Then, a conversation was heard.
"Lu Jiyuan, Ji Baoyun!"
Wutian muttered, and a cold light shot out from his eyes.
He naturally recognized the old man and the young man in the image. It was Lu Jiyuan.
And after reading the memories of the three leaders, he also knew that the old man was the Enforcer Commander of the Mystic Palace in West Nether City, a Ninth Rank Tribulation Transformation Stage expert, Ji Baoyun!
It was just that he didn't expect the two to be uncle and nephew.
This was also not in the memories of the three leaders.
However, from the conversation between the two, the reason why Lu Jiyuan lowered himself to come to the Zodiac Palace might be because of Leng Aoxue.
Swish!!
After a while, Han Tian and Di Tian both appeared. Their appearances were still as bright and beautiful as before, but their expressions were rather haggard. It was obvious that the two of them had suffered some injuries under the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, there was a majestic life force in their bodies. They must have consumed a sacred medicine after going through the tribulation.
As soon as the two of them appeared, they noticed the scene in the void.
"I didn't expect them to have such a relationship. How interesting. It seems that Lu Jiyuan's name is also fake." Di Tian's lips curled into a playful smile.
"Hehe, you still want to carry on the family line? Today, this handsome brother will end your family line!" Han Tian smiled evilly.
Di Tian: "It's not a problem to end the Ji Clan's bloodline, but Ji Baoyun's strength is undeniable. It'll be difficult to kill him as well."
"It's not difficult at all," Wutian said coldly.
"What do you mean?" The two of them looked at him in surprise.
Wutian smiled without saying a word. He took out the emissary token and sent the scene to the purple-robed woman.
Di Tian suddenly understood. "I understand. The purple-robed woman is a Heavenly Soldier and controls everything in the Zodiac Palace. Someone is trying to harm a disciple of the Zodiac Palace right under her nose. I'm sure she won't sit by and do nothing."
Wutian sneered. "Even if she doesn't do anything, I have a way to make Ji Baoyun unable to return!"
"Then let's not delay. Let's go. The Centennial Tournament has already begun. We can join in the fun and add some fun to the tournament." Han Tian smiled.
…
Zodiac Palace.
After the bastard battle, the ninety arenas were almost finished.
Not seeing Wutian appear all this time, the hearts of the three giants could be said to be burning with anxiety, and at the same time incomparably furious.
If Wutian appeared now, the three of them would definitely give him a beating without caring about their image.
However, the three of them did not appear until the end of the first round.
The Lord Of The Palace said angrily, "Looks like that bastard really ran away with the treasure."
"Don't let me catch him, or else … or else …"
The Vice Lord Of The Palace wanted to say something, but when he thought of Wutian's combat strength, he felt powerless.
"Sigh, we've suffered a double loss this time!" The Law Enforcement Commander sighed.
Compared to the three leaders, the grey-robed old man, Ji Baoyun, looked particularly refreshed.
With a smile on his face, he glanced at the inner disciples who had won in the ninety arenas. He looked at Lu Jiyuan and Leng Aoxue with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"You're all pretty good. Here are nine hundred Royal Healing Medicines. Take one each and rest for an hour before the finals," Ji Baoyun said.
"Yes!"
The nine hundred people who had won in the ninety arenas replied in unison.
Ji Baoyun nodded. He waved his hand, and several colorful Royal Herbs flew into the sky like a meteor shower.
Seeing this, the outer disciples, the Enforcers, and the inner disciples who had been eliminated were all envious.
To them, Royal Herbs were divine elixirs that were hard to come by.
"Tsk tsk tsk, nine hundred Royal Herbs. How generous. Wutian, why don't we rob them all? What do you think?"
In the sky, Wutian and the other two withdrew their auras and stood in the clouds, looking down. Han Tian's eyes lit up.
Wutian shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly. We don't know where You Hanyun is hidden. If we act now, Ji Baoyun might hurt her."
"That's right. We can only wait for You Hanyun to appear before we attack like lightning." Di Tian agreed.
"I don't think You Hanyun will appear later," the Gold-Biter Rat said.
After five years of cultivation, its cultivation had reached the Great Circle of the Heavenly Being Realm. It could be considered as one of the top experts in the entire Fengmen City.
Di Tian said indifferently, "Don't worry, Lu Jiyuan is a person who cares about his reputation. After he gets first place, he will definitely announce the wedding. As the bride-to-be, You Hanyun will naturally appear."
"Damn, you even thought of this. Di Tian, I really admire your intelligence." The Gold-Biter Rat's eyes were full of admiration.
"Actually, it's easy to tell. You just need to observe carefully. Unfortunately, you're a little rat who doesn't like to be serious." Di Tian smiled.
The Gold-Biter Rat laughed foolishly, looking quite cute.
During the conversation, the nine hundred inner disciples had all received an imperial herb. Under the envious gazes of the crowd, they stuffed it into their mouths and sat cross-legged on the ground to heal their injuries.
Only Leng Aoxue and Lu Jiyuan didn't take it. They chose to put it into their spatial bracelets.
Because they didn't use their full strength before, they didn't suffer any injuries.
A Enforcer squeezed out of the crowd and walked to the Lord Of The Palace's side. He whispered a few words in his ear. The Lord Of The Palace's eyes lit up.
"You can leave first."
The Lord Of The Palace waved his hand, and the Enforcer retreated.
Then, the Lord Of The Palace looked around and searched the crowd.
"Lord Of The Palace, what are you doing?" The Vice Lord Of The Palace asked in confusion.
The Lord Of The Palace explained, "You still don't know, but a few days ago, I secretly told the Enforcers guarding the Zodiac Palace's portal to inform me as soon as Gu Yi appears …"
The Enforcer Commander said hurriedly, "How is it? Any news? "
"Can you wait for me to finish?"
The Lord Of The Palace rolled his eyes at him. The Enforcer Commander smiled awkwardly.
The Lord Of The Palace continued, "Just now, the Enforcer came to tell me that Gu Yi, Han Tian, and Di Tian had entered the Zodiac Palace not long ago. But what puzzles me is, why didn't they show themselves? And I also searched the crowd, but I didn't find their auras at all. "
"What the hell are those three bastards doing?" The Vice Lord Of The Palace said angrily, and almost went berserk.
"No, you guys stay here and watch. I'll go look for them. As long as they've entered the Zodiac Palace, I'm confident that I can find them." The Enforcer Commander said.
"Okay."
The Lord Of The Palace and the Enforcer Commander nodded subtly.
"Lord Ji, I have something to take care of. I'll take my leave for now."
The Enforcer Commander found an excuse, bowed to Ji Baoyun, and turned to leave.
Ji Baoyun didn't suspect anything.
An hour passed quickly.
The injuries of the nine hundred inner palace disciples were basically healed.
Ji Baoyun took a few steps forward, like a king, and looked down at the nine hundred people condescendingly. He said, "It's the same as before. Ten people in a group, and the last person standing wins. Begin!"
As soon as the order was given, the finals began immediately!
Han Tian frowned and said, "This is the centennial competition of the Zodiac Palace? Isn't this too much of a joke? "
Generally speaking, the finals were in a one-on-one format. This way, the potential and strength of the disciples could be more clearly measured.
In other words, the free-for-all format was only suitable for the first round of elimination.
However, the Zodiac Palace still used the same free-for-all format as the first round. In this case, the people who were assigned to the same ring as Leng Aoxue and Lu Jiyuan had no hope at all.
Even if nine people joined forces, they couldn't possibly be a match for the two of them. They would only suffer a crushing defeat.
The key was that among these people who suffered a crushing defeat, they might not be inferior to the winners of the other rings.
There was no fairness at all in this kind of competition.
"Nothing in this world is fair." Wutian shook his head and said, "The distribution of the people in each major ring was discussed in advance by the three leaders. That is to say, the final winner is the one they all agree on."
"Then how are the rankings determined?" Di Tian was puzzled.
Wutian explained, "Whoever finishes their battle first will be ranked higher. For example, if Leng Aoxue finishes her battle before the other 89 rings, she will be ranked first. On the other hand, if she finishes her battle last, she will be ranked last."
"That's not right. According to the current situation, only 90 people will win in the end. Don't 100 people enter the Dark Palace every time? What about the remaining 10 people? "Han Tian was puzzled.
Wutian said faintly, "This is Ji Baoyun's function. During the battle, he will pay attention to the condition of each disciple. In the end, he will choose the 10 most talented inner palace disciples from the defeated ones."
Han Tian and Di Tian lowered their heads to look. Indeed, it was as Wutian had said. Ji Baoyun's gaze had been sweeping across the ninety-nine stages.
"So you are here!"
Suddenly, an angry shout was heard.
The three of them looked towards the direction of the voice and saw the Law Enforcement Commander flying through the air. His eyes were burning with rage.
