Soon, Qin Feng figured out the reason.
Even though there were many cultivators on the plaza, how many of them were at the True Spirit Realm? Sects were only allowed to send three disciples to participate, so most of the cultivators gathered outside were here to watch the show.
However, after the registration ended, the number of participants surprised Qin Feng. There were actually more than ten thousand participants. Moreover, the South Flat State's selection system was similar to the North Sand State's. Only the top 100 would be counted, and only the top 10 would be considered famous in the South Flat State.
Ten geniuses out of ten thousand people, this was one in a thousand!
Qin Fen began to consider another matter. With over ten thousand cultivators participating in the competition, how long would it take for them to determine the top ten? Ever since the system's warning appeared, he didn't want to stay in Tian Tong City for a moment longer. If it wasn't for taking his sister away, he would have left long ago.
At this moment, the figure in the air appeared again: "The registration has ended, we will now proceed to the first segment of the genius competition, maze valley survival."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elder in the sky waved his sleeve. Instantly, a giant array door appeared in the empty square. When the array door appeared, everyone began to discuss it. Some cultivators looked excited, as if they knew what this array door meant.
"Everyone quiet down, I will first introduce the rules of the maze valley survival. Because there are too many cultivators participating in the genius competition, it takes a lot of time and effort to compete. Therefore, before the actual competition, there will be a maze valley survival test …"
"The maze valley survival is a secret space. There is no danger inside, and those who enter can come out on their own. Every time the secret space opens, it can last for an hour. Those who can last until the secret space closes will advance to the next round, and the rest will be eliminated."
This was Qin Feng's first time participating in the South Flat State's genius competition, so he didn't know these rules. He was just worrying about how long the competition would last, and didn't expect a maze valley survival test to appear.
"Senior Zhao, is the elimination rate of the maze valley survival test high?" Qin Feng immediately asked Zhao Ziyu.
Zhao Ziyu frowned and said: "Very high! Based on past genius meetings, the survival rate of the maze valley is only one in three hundred. "
1 out of 300?
Qin Feng quickly calculated. This way, after the first round of the maze valley survival test, there would only be 300 cultivators left to compete. He was pleasantly surprised. This kind of competition speed was exactly what he wanted.
Zhao Ziyu didn't know what Qin Feng was thinking. She said worriedly, "Young Hero Qiao, the survival of the maze valley is actually very disadvantageous to independent cultivators. After you go in, go with Zhao Hongxia's three disciples. You can take care of each other."
Confused, Qin Feng asked, "Why is it disadvantageous to independent cultivators?"
This time, Zhao Changqing explained, "Young Hero Qiao, this is your first time participating in the genius competition, so you might not know this. The secret territory of the maze valley is an empty battlefield. There is no danger in the maze valley itself, but the cultivators who enter will kill each other. Sects can only send three disciples to participate in the competition, and rogue cultivators can enter alone …"
Qin Fen immediately understood that this was a three against one situation. It seemed that if a rogue cultivator wanted to achieve good results in the South Flat Continent's Genius Conference, he would need to be more talented and powerful than a sect's cultivator.
Just as Zhao Changqing was warning Qin Fen about the things to pay attention to in the maze, a divine sense swept over him from the side of the square.
"Sect master, that brat really came to participate in the genius competition." Hong Fei revealed an excited expression.
The two people standing beside him immediately used their divine senses to scan Qin Fen. When they saw that Qin Fen was only at the True Spirit Realm, contempt flashed through their eyes.
"Hong Fei, this is your chance to make up for your mistakes. Go find that brat in the maze valley and take all his treasures," the sect master of the Ancient Cauldron sect, Hong Pingyan, said indifferently.
Hong Fei felt helpless. Originally, only he knew about the secret of the Spirit Turtle Shell. Now that the sect master knew about it too, he even treated him as a sinner.
"Don't worry, sect master. I was tricked by that brat on Coiled Dragon mountain last time. Otherwise, how would he be my opponent with his cultivation?"
The Ancient Cauldron sect was not the only sect master who had their eyes on Qin Fen. There were many divine senses in the crowd that swept over Qin Fen as well.
When the Tianhu sect's Yu Nian discovered Qin Fen, he sneered. Three days ago, he failed to snatch Qin Fen's room. Today, he was determined to teach this ant a lesson.
Yi Bing of the Qilin mountain was also laughing. He was 49 years old this year, just enough to qualify for the genius competition. Originally, he wanted to place in the top 100 and then try to enter the top 10. Now, it seemed like he had another mission to kill.
When these people's divine senses swept over, Qin Fen sensed it long ago. However, he did not care about it at all. He did not even bother to trace the origin of the divine senses. This was because these people's cultivation was too low, and Qin Fen only cared about the divine senses of those at the peak of the Void God Realm and above.
Many cultivators had already leapt into the formation gate leading to the maze valley. Under Zhao Ziyu and Zhao Changqing's strong suggestion, Qin Fen followed the three participating disciples of the Hundred Thoughts Sect.
Actually, he planned to enter alone because he knew that many hidden enemies would come looking for him. If he really met them, he would implicate Zhao Hongxia and the other two.
When his body touched the array door, Qin Fen felt a sharp pain in his mind. This reaction surprised him. After absorbing more than 2000 soul crystals, his sea of consciousness had improved twice. Now, the strength of his soul was comparable to the late stage or even the peak of the Empty God Realm.
In the past, unless the distance was very far, Qin Fen's sea of consciousness would feel a sharp pain. It could be seen that the maze valley secret realm was very far from Tian Tong City.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Fen felt his feet touch the ground. Just as he landed, he heard fighting and cursing. Qin Fen did not care about those people and immediately left on his flying sword. He planned to get rid of Zhao Hongxia and the other two.
Before entering, Qin Fen had already checked the cultivation of Zhao Hongxia and the other two. Zhao Hongxia was only 45 years old but had already stepped into the Void God Realm level 2. The other two disciples were also at the peak of the True Spirit Realm. Although this wasn't much in the South Pingzhou State, it was already very impressive for cultivators below 50 years old.
Qin Fen was not worried that Zhao Hongxia and the other two would encounter any trouble. Ordinary cultivators would avoid them if they saw them wearing the uniform of the six-star sect, Hundred Intentions Sect. After traveling on the flying sword for an unknown period of time, three black shadows landed on a mountain peak in front of Qin Fen.
"Haha! Grandson surnamed Qiao, how dare you steal this old man's treasure! Hand it over! "
The voice was very familiar. Qin Fen scanned the mountain peak with his divine sense and confirmed that it was Hong Fei.
There were two people standing beside Hong Fei. One was a True Spirit Realm 8 and the other was a True Spirit Realm 9. From the looks of it, these two and Hong Fei were the three cultivators representing the Ancient Cauldron Sect in the genius competition.
