In the previous Wilderness Sea Dharma Gathering, each faction had sent the same number of disciples. However, the meaning of this dharma gathering was clearly different. Xuanmen Tianzong was like the champion of the arena, and it felt like he was fighting against many alone.
Be it the disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong or the disciples of the other factions, they were all mentally prepared for this.
Hence, when Shi Tianhao said that they would fight in groups, the people from the other factions did not think much of it.
This was because it was obvious that Xuanmen Tianzong had the most people participating in the dharma gathering. Once they teamed up, they would undoubtedly be the most powerful.
Even if the other factions teamed up, they were not from the same faction after all. There would definitely be loopholes in their cooperation, and they would not be as close as the cave abodes of Xuanmen Tianzong.
However, Shi Tianhao clearly meant that cultivators from different factions would form teams when they arrived.
Shi Jingyun, Shi Shaoqian, and the others looked at each other in dismay. Their faces were filled with bewilderment. However, they quickly realized that it wasn't just them. Even the Chosen Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were surprised. It was obvious that the content of the Spell Assembly had exceeded their expectations.
Shi Tianhao looked around at the crowd and said calmly, "Fellow cultivators who came to Kunlun Mountain to watch the ceremony today are all friends of Xuanmen Tianzong. We are of the same breath and branches, and we can help each other out. The dharma gathering is not only for sparring, but also for communication.
"Working together and cooperating with each other will also be beneficial for future communication."
There was nothing wrong with saying that. In the cultivation world, the more friends you have, the more paths you can take. There are all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures of every description, and you might need someone's help.
Although the people present were from major factions, some of the things they needed might not be provided by their factions, or they would need to pay a high price. Fellow cultivators they knew outside might be able to help them.
Most people fell silent, especially the cultivators from the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty. They looked at each other subconsciously.
Then, some people's gazes shifted between the disciples of Taixu Temple and Xuanmen Tianzong.
The disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong quickly settled down and stood where they were, listening to Shi Tianhao's instructions.
Chen Xingyu, who was dressed in white, cupped his hands. "Elder Shi is right. The disciples of Taixu Temple have no objections. We will follow your arrangements."
After a moment of silence, Shi Shaoqian also said, "We have no objections either." Beside him, Shi Jingyun also nodded.
The people from the Great Zhou Dynasty looked at Shi Jingyun and the others and nodded, "The guest follows the host's wishes. We will follow the rules set by your sect."
Murong Yanran looked at Shi Tianhao calmly. In the past, she had seen Shi Tianhao when he was still a teenager. In the blink of an eye, he had also changed dramatically.
She quietly said, "The Celeritas Sword Sect disciples have no objections."
The people from the other factions also nodded. Only the Reincarnation Sect's Heaven Path, Human Path and Hell Path looked at each other with cold smiles.
The leader of the Path of Hell's side was a tall and skinny young cultivator called Liu Hang. He looked coldly at the fatty Yang Likun and said slowly, "Yang Likun, you're a member of the Heaven's Path. You better behave yourself."
Within the Reincarnation Sect, the other five paths were used to calling the Reincarnation Sect's Heaven Path the Heaven Path.
Yang Likun squinted his eyes and a smile appeared on his somewhat stupid and fat face. "You guys better pray to be in the same group as me. That way I will let you guys go for now. If you are not in the same group as me, I will take good care of you trash from the Hell Path and Human Path."
In the All-Heaven Hall, Lin Feng sat on the main seat. Tian Tan Shen Qifeng turned to look at him and said apologetically, "My disciple is naughty and mischievous. I have made Sect Leader Lin and fellow daoists laugh at me."
Even though he said that, he didn't look at Hell Dao Lord Liu Zhikun at all. Liu Zhikun and Human Path's Peach Blossom Immortal Yi Long Bing also treated Shen Qifeng like air.
Qin Emperor Shi Yu also looked at Lin Feng and said Silently, "This arrangement is appropriate. However, as mentioned before, the spell assembly is divided into three stages. The first stage is like this. Will the rest be divided into groups like this as well?"
Lin Feng smiled faintly. "There will naturally be changes. Fellow Shi, you will know as you continue watching."
In the Spreading Law Hall, Shi Tianhao flicked his finger and a few light circles landed in mid-air. Then, tens of small light balls of different colors appeared.
The number of light balls of different colors was also different. The most were over ten while the least were less than five.
Everyone looked at these light balls of different colors and understood that these things represented the cultivators of different sects participating in the spell assembly. Each color represented a faction.
The purple light balls with the most number, a total of 16, represented the top 16 disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong.
Looking carefully, they found that there were runes flashing inside the light balls. Each light ball had a name written on it. Each light ball represented a cultivator participating in the spell assembly.
Chen Xingyu, Murong Yanran, Shi Jingyun, and the others also saw their names. After they entered the Spreading Law Hall, their sects also reported their information to Shi Tianhao, who was the host.
"These light circles represent the groups. I have set up a magic power restriction. Each light circle can contain at most two light balls of the same color. Each light ball has your name engraved on it. Later, you will be randomly thrown into these light circles to determine the groups."
As Shi Tianhao said this, he waved his hand. Tens of light balls turned into a stream of light that spiraled in the air. Finally, they exploded and fell like a rain of light, falling into the light circles below.
Sure enough, when there were two light balls of the same color in a certain light circle, another light ball of the same color that fell was rejected by the light circle. It bounced up and fell into the other light circles.
For a moment, there was a riot of colors. But soon, the dust settled.
The Yuanying cultivators in the Spreading Law Hall were closely watching this process. The Primordial Divinity big shots in the All Heaven Palace were also paying attention. However, they all looked calm because they were sure that Shi Tianhao didn't cheat.
As the host and host, Xuanmen Tianzong would naturally do some petty tricks in this aspect and lose face for no reason.
After all the small light balls fell into the light circles, they each shot out a tiny light ray and guided the owner of the name in the light ball.
The results of the groups were immediately clear.
There were a total of sixteen light circles, which meant that everyone was divided into sixteen groups. Each light circle had five small light balls, and some light circles had four light balls.
Huang Zhenting looked around and asked loudly, "Master, what do you mean when you said a person's score is tied to the group they are in?"
Shi Tianhao answered, "The Dharma Assembly is divided into three stages. The first stage is to climb this starry sky pagoda. There are a total of sixteen groups. Only the first eight groups to reach the top of the pagoda can participate in the second stage. The last eight groups will be eliminated."
"The faster you climb the starry sky pagoda, the earlier you reach the top, the earlier you can start the second stage. You will have the advantage in time, but you must pay attention to one thing." Shi Tianhao smiled, "Reaching the top of the pagoda requires the entire group to reach the top to complete the first stage. In other words, the last person to reach the top of the pagoda will be the winner. The first person to reach the top of the pagoda will wait at the top."
When these words were said, some people's expressions changed slightly.
The groups were completely random, so the cultivators participating in the Dharma Assembly would naturally have strong and weak cultivators. Moreover, most people didn't know whether their companions were strong or weak. If their companions were strong, it would be fine, but if they were weak, they would undoubtedly drag them down.
Shi Tianhao glanced at them and said leisurely, "Otherwise, what do you think the groups are for? Companions in each group can help each other and climb the starry sky pagoda together. However, it is strictly forbidden to use magic power to completely envelop people. The process of climbing must be completed with one's feet on the ground. "
"You can choose not to help your companions in the same group. If you have the ability to quickly reach the top of the pagoda, that's fine too. However, you must wait patiently at the top of the pagoda for your companions to arrive. Only when everyone in your group has arrived will you be considered to have completed the first stage and begin the second stage."
After a slight pause, Shi Tianhao revealed a kind smile on his face, "That's right, let me explain that the top few in each stage will not only have priority to start the next stage, but they will also receive rewards."
He waved his hand in the air, and a light and shadow flashed in the air. When most people's eyes came into contact with this light and shadow, their breathing paused slightly.
The people present were the best of the younger generation of various forces, so naturally, they had a broad vision. Even if they hadn't seen many treasures before, they had at least heard about them. However, now that they saw the rewards prepared by Xuanmen Tianzong, they still felt a little dizzy.
Not to mention them, even the Yuanying Stage Ancestors who were watching in the VIP room of the Hongfa Hall looked carefully and felt a little envious.
"Dragon Vein Stone, Exquisite Jade Heart, Ten Thousand Ice Soul, Void Divine Stone, Violet Gold Star Iron … Xuanmen Tianzong is really generous. He actually took out so many treasures as rewards for disciples in the Golden Elixir Period and Foundation Establishment Stage?!"
Shi Tianhao smiled slightly, "These things are the rewards for the winners of the first stage of the Dharma Assembly. After that, there will be other rewards for the second and third stages."
The entire Hongfa Hall seemed to be quiet for a moment.
In the All-Heaven Hall, Dao Master Tian Tan, Shen Qifeng said with a smile, "Sect Master Lin is really generous this time." For Primordial Spirit powerhouses, those treasures naturally didn't care about them, but they also knew their value. They were very precious for cultivators in the Golden Elixir Period, Foundation Establishment Stage, and even Yuanying Stage.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, "You flatter me. It's rare for so many people to come to Kunlun Mountain with their disciples as guests. Of course, I have to do my best as a host."
He glanced at the Primordial Spirit powerhouses present, "These little things are actually incidental. The final winner of this Dharma Assembly will receive the Primordial Starlight Baptism as a reward. Take it as a small token of my gratitude to everyone who came to Kunlun Mountain to watch the Dharma Assembly."
Of course, whether it would fall into the hands of their own disciples or the descendants of other forces, it would depend on the abilities of the younger generation.
Even so, as soon as he said that, even Lin Daohan, Yan Mingyue, Shi Yu, and Zhu Hongwu slightly narrowed their eyes and nodded together Slowly, "No matter what the final result is, we must first thank the Master of Xuanmen for his generosity on behalf of the younger generation."
