In the All Heavens Palace on Jade Capital Mountain, Purple Cloud Dao Master Thundercloud calmly said to Lei Lie, "Fellow Lei, my previous proposal is still valid, what do you think?"
Looking at Thundercloud and Lei family head Lei Lie, the expressions of the other primordial spirits all slightly changed.
The Purple Cloud Dao Master Thundercloud controlled originated from the ancient almighty Thunder Emperor. It inherited the Nine Heaven Thunder Dao, which was known as the strongest thunder technique in the world. It had always been regarded as the strongest thunder technique sect in the human world of the Divine Land.
The Lei Clan was also a clan that cultivated the Thunder Method. The Heavenly Thunder Strategy, the clan's legacy, was also a top-notch Thunder Method in the vast land of the Divine Prefecture. However, it was undoubtedly inferior to the Purple Cloud Path.
If Lei Jie entered the Purple Cloud Dao Master's sect, he would undoubtedly obtain better development.
Lei Lie slowly said, "I appreciate Dao Master Lei Yun's good intentions. I'm very grateful." The meaning behind his words was to reject Dao Master Lei Yun's suggestion.
"Oh?" Dao Master Thundercloud's eyes slightly flashed, his gaze swept across Zhu Hongwu, "So that's how it is, so you can obtain the Grand Emperor's orthodoxy. No wonder, no wonder."
In the history of the Divine Land, the Thunder Emperor's orthodoxy could be said to be number one in thunder techniques. The founder of the Purple Cloud Dao Master Purple Cloud was the Thunder Emperor's eldest direct disciple, but he was unable to learn all of his master's abilities. The Purple Cloud Dao had been striving to recreate the complete Nine Heaven Thunder Dao.
Apart from the Thunder Emperor's orthodoxy, the most famous thunder technique in the human cultivation world was the Grand Emperor's thunder technique.
The Grand Emperor's magic power was profound and the dao he cultivated was all-encompassing, including the Great Chaotic Hole Interior True Thunder Scripture. It was not inferior to the dao techniques of the Purple Cloud Dao.
After the Lei family had pledged allegiance to the Great Zhou Empire, they had obtained this Dao technique. Not only did Lei Jie cultivate the Great Chaotic Interior Realm of the True Thunder Dao Scripture, but he had also obtained the opportunity to cultivate other Dao techniques of the imperial orthodoxy. He had become a rising star that the Great Zhou Empire had focused on cultivating.
Lei Lie gave a clear answer. Dao Master Thundercloud could take it or let it go, so he no longer mentioned this matter and focused his attention back on the exchange.
Inside the Starry Sky Pagoda, all life appeared in front of everyone. There were also people like Lei Jie who insisted on going alone, as well as people like Chen Xingyu, Xu Yunsheng, and Ying Luoza. There were also a few groups that joined together to deal with one group.
Yue Hongyan's Snow Gale Valley disciple, Ke Jing, and another mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm disciple of the Qian Tian Palace weren't so lucky. One of them got into a conflict with another group, which resulted in several groups ganging up on Ke Jing and the other.
The two of them were not judged to be eliminated, but they triggered the magic power restriction of the starlight circulating in the pagoda. They were directly transported from the fifth floor of the pagoda to the second floor. Almost all their previous efforts were in vain, and the two of them wanted to cry but had no tears.
As time passed, the distance between the different groups gradually widened. This did not mean that the lagging group was weaker. It was more due to the familiarity between the members of the group. Sometimes, luck was involved as well.
Xu Yunsheng's and Ying Roza's groups and the Taixu Temple's Chen Xingyu's group were the two leading groups. With the two groups working together, they left everyone else behind. Only when they reached the ninth floor of the Starry Sky Pagoda did they part ways and search for their own paths.
At this moment, it was time for them to compete for first place in the first stage of the spell assembly, to see who would be the first to reach the top of the tenth floor.
At this time, Chen Xingyu and the others seemed to have run out of luck. One of their team members accidentally touched the Flowing Starlight Restriction and fell from the ninth floor to the seventh floor.
Everyone was caught off guard. In the All-heavens Great Hall, Lin Daohan and Yan Mingyue looked at each other and shook their heads.
Someone in Chen Xingyu's group cursed, "What the hell is that guy doing? The Flowing Starlight Restriction is so obvious, and no one attacked him. How did he step on it? "
"What should we do? Go to the top of the pagoda and wait for him?" Another person frowned slightly. He was a cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect called Kang Hai. He looked at Chen Xingyu and said, "It would be fine if he was eliminated by the restrictions in the pagoda or someone from another group. But if he is still alive, it will take too much time for us to wait for him to come up."
Chen Xingyu's eyes were like bright stars and his expression was calm. "Let's go back and look for him. We are a group after all."
The person who had started first growled, "Why do we care about that guy?"
Chen Xingyu said, "Helping others is helping ourselves. Although we are from different sects, we are still companions. There is no danger in today's spell assembly, but if we travel together in the future, we will definitely encounter all kinds of difficulties and obstacles."
Kang Hai and the others thought for a while and nodded. They followed Chen Xingyu and stepped on the Flowing Starlight Restriction. The four of them were sent back to the seventh level of the Starry Sky Pagoda.
On the other side, Xu Yunsheng and Ying Roza's group successfully reached the top of the pagoda as the first place.
Shi Tianhao was waiting for them at the top with a smile. "Not bad, not bad. You are faster than I expected."
He clapped his hands and five white jade stones floated in front of Xu Yunsheng and the others. "This is the Exquisite Jade Heart. It is the reward for the first place in the first stage of this spell assembly. Everyone will get one. Keep it well."
Xu Yunsheng and the others received the Exquisite Jade Heart and were overjoyed. The Exquisite Jade Heart was a rare treasure. It could strengthen the connection between a cultivator and the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was very beneficial for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
More importantly, when an early stage Gold Core cultivator was accumulating magic power and preparing to face the Yin Fire Tribulation, the Exquisite Jade Heart could help to nourish the magic power and increase the odds of success. It was even more beneficial for a cultivator to reach the intermediate stage of Gold Core and the realm of Heavenly Connection, where they could extract the spiritual energy they needed from the world.
Ying Roza put away the Exquisite Jade Heart and asked, "Martial Uncle, you said before that the faster we finish the first stage, the faster we can start the second stage. What is the content of the second stage? Do we still have to complete the second stage in groups? "
Shi Tianhao smiled and shook his head. "The second stage is for you to participate as individuals and complete it independently."
He waved his hand and a door of light appeared in the space beside him. Through the door of light, Xu Yunsheng, Ying Roza, and the others could see the scene on the other side. It was a completely independent world.
There were many landscapes in this world. There were jungles, snowy plains, deserts, plains, and even oceans.
Shi Tianhao made a grabbing motion and a beam of light suddenly flew out from the small world. It was a huge strange beast. It had a pair of wings on its back and was covered in the fur of a hedgehog. It looked like a cow and a tiger at the same time. It let out a cry that sounded like a dog's bark and kept struggling.
Xu Yunsheng and Ying Roza had been in Xuanmen Tianzong for many years and could be considered knowledgeable. When they saw this strange beast, they were stunned. "Qiongqi?"
It was the Qiongqi Demon Race, one of the four ancient beasts along with Tao Wu. Different from the Dark Yang Beast, which was born from Tao Wu's evil aura, the one in Shi Tianhao's hand was a pure-blooded Qiongqi. Its demonic power was suppressed by the small world it was in and it was only at the Demon General level, which was equivalent to a human's Foundation Establishment level.
But even so, this Qiongqi's strength was extraordinary. Ordinary cultivators in the Golden Elixir Period might not be able to do anything to it.
The four ancient beasts each had extremely powerful innate magical abilities. The Taotie could swallow the heavens and the earth, the Primal Chaos could shatter the void, and the Tao Wu was stubborn and immortal, which was difficult to be injured by external forces.
The Qiongqi Demon Race's innate magical ability was similar to the Blood River True Water. It was used to pollute people's Dharmic powers and plunder Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
The flow of Spirit Qi in the small world opposite the light door was rather turbid and chaotic, which made people unhappy.
The Qiongqi cub roared ferociously at Shi Tianhao, "Back then, my race's leader did not kill you in the Ancient Desolate Sea World. But one day, you will die under my race's Nine Glory Sky Shattering Array. You will die under the claws of my Qiongqi race and become our food!"
Shi Tianhao said nonchalantly, "Forget it. If it wasn't for the fact that the taste is too bad, you would have already entered my stomach."
The moment he said that, Xu Yunsheng and Ying Roza were a little speechless. Their Little Martial Uncle was even more ferocious than the four ancient beasts.
Shi Tianhao knocked the Qiongqi's head in his hand and smiled at Xu Yunsheng and Ying Roza. "This is the Qiongqi that I, your master, and your third martial uncle captured after sneaking into Infinite Wilderness Continent and raiding a gathering place of the Qiongqi demon race. It's a pity that there are no demon kings, only demon generals."
He pointed at the world opposite the light door. "Now, there are hundreds of Qiongqi in this world. There are Core Formation demon generals among them, but their strength has been suppressed to the demon general level. The second stage of the assembly is to hunt Qiongqi.
"There is a golden ring buried in each Qiongqi's body. Obtaining the golden rings is the final goal.
"Those who obtain ten golden rings will automatically leave this world after 15 minutes, and the second stage will be considered completed.
"One thing to note is that Qiongqi is also protected by the Great Law Hall's magic power restriction. Once it is killed, it will disappear from this small world, and the golden rings will also disappear."
Xu Yunsheng and the others looked at each other. This was equivalent to asking them to capture Qiongqi alive. This way, the difficulty would increase by a lot.
Shi Tianhao looked at the junior disciples in front of him and said unhurriedly, "In the second stage, you can fight for each other's golden rings.
"This stage mainly tests your ability to deal with complex environments alone. Of course, you can also work together in private, but this is completely voluntary. However, in this small world, you can't use sound transmission crystals, nor can you use magic power to transmit sound over long distances.
"Furthermore, after entering the world through the light door, your location will be random. No one can be sure who is around you."
Ying Roza's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Xu Yunsheng. Xu Yunsheng also turned to look at him. Their eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
Shi Tianhao said, "One last point. Only the first eight people who pass the second stage can participate in the third stage."
Xu Yunsheng and the others were stunned. Compared to the first stage, which only eliminated half of the participants, the second stage's elimination rate had greatly increased.
There were eight groups of people, and each group had at least four people. However, among the close to forty people, only eight people could participate in the third stage.
"The winners of the second stage will also be rewarded. The first place will be rewarded with a Yuanying Magic Tool," Shi Tianhao continued, "At the same time, the ranking in the second stage will also affect the third stage.
"Although the five of you have the advantage and entered the small world first, you might not be the last to laugh. You still have to work hard."
Hearing about the Yuanying Magic Tool, Xu Yunsheng and the others held their breaths. Most of the participants were only in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Ying Roza did not say anything. He took the lead and rushed into the light door. Xu Yunsheng and the others also did not want to be left behind and entered the light door together.
In the All-Heaven Great Hall, Lin Feng watched this scene with a smile. He shook his head and turned to look at the other group in the Starry Sky Pagoda. He stared at a black-clothed young man and thought with interest, "What kind of performance will you have?"
The young man had a valiant figure, and he stood upright like a sword. He seemed inconspicuous and ordinary, but he faintly possessed a unique imposing aura that was extremely profound. It was like a peerless divine blade that was hidden deep within a scabbard.
It was Chu Yang, a disciple of the Beyond Sky Mountain.
He was also participating in the Dharma Exchange. However, he seemed very ordinary. He did not make any decisions in the group and only ascended the pagoda with the others. His speed was average. He did not fall behind, nor did he take the lead.
