"More than a million?"
"That's too exaggerated. I heard that there were only a few hundred thousand people in the past few years."
"This is probably the Heavenly Alliance's test with the highest number of people since the previous great war between the righteous factions and demonic factions."
"Difficult, difficult, difficult. With more than one million people, it will be even harder to enter the Heavenly Alliance."
The number of one million incited a huge discussion. Even the Sovereign Emperors on their thrones in the Starry Heavens conversed with each other, appearing somewhat incredulous.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor frowned slightly. Actually, he did not care about the Heavenly Alliance's test.
Even if Xiao Chen, Yun Fei, and Lei Hao did not enter the Heavenly Alliance, Xiao Chen would only be slightly disappointed. His emotions would not change much.
In reality, the other Sovereign Emperors here were the Heavenly Alliance's outer circle Elders. As long as they could bring disciples or members into the Heavenly Alliance, they would be rewarded.
If Xiao Chen performed well, he could even continue climbing the ranks and enter the Heavenly Alliance's core Elder circle.
Unlike the other Sovereign Emperors, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor did not care about this. Back then, he had been a core Elder. Now that he had retired, he was already indifferent.
However, when Xiao Chen heard the purple-haired old man say that there would be more than one million cultivators participating in this test, his expression immediately changed.
"Such a large number means that the Martial Epoch has already recovered from the destruction of the previous war between the righteous factions and demonic factions, reaching a new peak. Since the Heavenly Alliance managed to recruit so many people, the other super factions will definitely be stronger. This is not a good thing. "
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor entered deep thought but did not say anything to the other Sovereign Emperors.
The purple-haired old man swept his gaze around, and the place fell silent once more. The old man said indifferently, "Now, let me explain. All the cultivators participating in the first stage of the Heavenly Alliance's test have to go to the Heavenly Alliance. You will be randomly teleported to a special secret realm and stay there for a month. There are a total of 100 mystic realms. You can attack without worry in these mystic realms. The secret realm's Heavenly Dao rules will push you out at the moment of everyone's death, so your life won't be in danger. "
"There are special Spirit Jades refined by my Heavenly Alliance in the secret realm. They contain the Faux God Mark, which cannot be faked. What you need to do is find the Faux God Spirit Jades in there. The more, the better. After one month, if the Faux God Spirit Jades you possess do not rank within the top one hundred of your secret realm, you will not be able to participate in the second stage. "
Xiao Chen fell into deep thought. There were a hundred special secret realms, which meant that each secret realm had about ten thousand people.
To put it simply, one had to be ranked in the top hundred among the ten thousand people in order to participate in the next test.
How ruthless!
After the first round, only 10,000 people would remain, and 990,000 candidates would be eliminated.
Lei Hao gasped when he heard this and said softly, "It's too cruel."
Yunfei said gravely, "Random teleportation. At that time, the three of us might not be in the same secret realm."
Lei Hao's eyes lit up with fighting spirit. "No matter what, the three of us must pass this first stage. We'll meet again in the second stage!"
"Alright."
Without giving the cultivators on the Dao Platform much time to think, the purple-haired old man activated the Dao Platform.
After the dazzling white light, the more than 10,000 examinees on the platform disappeared at the same time. In the next moment, runes appeared on the platform, continuously condensing.
Many light screens appeared on the Dao Platform. There were exactly one hundred light screens.
The purple-haired old man casually waved his hand, and the light screens immediately expanded a thousandfold. The light screens stood in the Starry Heavens, surrounding the many Sovereign Emperors seated on thrones.
The light screens showed the scenes of the secret realms. As the examinees entered, not a single detail escaped the eyes of these Sovereign Emperors.
--- At the same time, similar scenes played out in the other Heavenly Alliance test sites in the Great Thousand Realms.
After the purple-haired old man did all this, he turned around and said with a smile, "We can rest for a while now. I hope that the disciples that everyone brought will not embarrass my Desolate City. Same as before, I will reward anyone whose disciple passes the first stage. Little Brother Peach Blossom, if I recall correctly, this is your first time personally leading a group here, right? Are there any disciples you are proud of this time? "
Right after the purple-haired old man, Shangguan Yun, spoke, his gaze fell on the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor. Clearly, the two had a close relationship.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor replied calmly, "I'm fine. I have not moved around for a long time, so I came out to take a look."
"Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor, back then, you contributed greatly to the Heavenly Alliance. You were one of the strongest Sovereign Emperors in the Heavenly Alliance. How come after you retired for so many years, not a single disciple has entered the Heavenly Alliance? No matter what, you were once a core Elder of the Heavenly Alliance. You can't retire too thoroughly! "
The one who spoke was Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge. Back then, he had some conflict with the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor. Back then, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor always suppressed him. It was rare for the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor to come personally, so he teased Xing Ge.
Up until now, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor had brought ten disciples into the Heavenly Alliance. Among City Lord Shangguan Yun's subordinates, he was considered the most incredible.
When comparing the two, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor, who had no accomplishments, did not have any advantage.
The purple-haired old man smiled and said, "Xing Ge did not let us down. He did not embarrass my Desolate City too much in the Heavenly Alliance's test. Peach Blossom, you have to pay more attention to this matter. After all, if the Heavenly Alliance wants to continue developing, it needs fresh blood. In terms of outstanding talents, we are too far behind the other super factions. If we cannot even compare to the new disciples, the Heavenly Alliance will fall sooner or later. "
"Lord Shangguan is right."
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor felt helpless in his heart. However, this purple-haired old man was a peak Faux God expert, the one who once led the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor. The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor had no choice but to submit to this purple-haired old man.
Seeing the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor so humble made Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge very cocky.
"Peach Blossom, don't mind it too much. In recent years, Xing Ge had indeed made a lot of achievements. He had to be a role model. It is rare for you to come here. Don't mind him too much. Just give in to him. The purple-haired old man's voice projection rang out in the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's mind.
"I know. Don't worry, my lord."
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor casually replied. However, the purple-haired old man's comforting words upset the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor, causing his expression to turn slightly unsightly.
"Elder Cui, where are Yunfei and the others?"
Elder Cui pointed at the light screens and said, "Xiao Chen is in Secret Realm 97, Yun Fei is in Secret Realm 98, and Lei Hao is in Secret Realm 100. Right now, everyone is familiarizing themselves with the environment, and the rankings haven't been released yet. "
Not only could the light screen show the participants in the secret realm, but it could also show the ranking of all the participants.
Inside Secret Realm 97:
Xiao Chen found himself in an ancient, dilapidated city. When he looked around, the entire secret realm looked boundlessly vast. There was not a single person in sight. Of course, he did not know if there were people hiding.
"Participant Xiao Chen, hello. I am the manager of Secret Realm 97."
As Xiao Chen familiarized himself with the environment, a small light figure made of energy essence appeared before him. The light gave off a faint Divine Might.
"Hello," the confused Xiao Chen replied softly.
The small light figure's mechanical voice continued, "Every one of you can enjoy my service. I can provide you with your ranking in the secret realm. I can give you a map of the secret realm and tell you the ranking of the others. If you feel that your life is in danger, you can get me to send you out. However, the Faux God Spirit Jades on you will remain in this secret realm the moment you leave. "
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. It looks like this secret realm should be a world created by a Faux God.
The small light figure before Xiao Chen was like an Item Spirit. However, it was much stronger than a regular Item Spirit.
"Participant Xiao Chen, I wish you good luck."
After leaving Xiao Chen a map, the small light figure vanished.
Xiao Chen unfurled the map and discovered that it showed not only the terrain of the entire secret realm but also the hiding techniques of the Faux God Spirit Jades.
As Xiao Chen looked at the locations marked with the Faux God Spirit Jades, he could imagine what kind of intense killing would occur.
"The locations with the Faux God Spirit Jades might have other dangers."
Xiao Chen could sense the auras of terrifying ferocious beasts hidden in the secret realm, aside from the auras of human cultivators.
However, compared to ferocious beasts, human cultivators were clearly more threatening.
The rule of the entire first stage was to force the participants to kill each other and snatch the Faux God Spirit Jades from each other.
Just by searching, one would not be able to obtain the top one hundred out of ten thousand people.
"I have one month. There is no need to rush."
Xiao Chen made up his mind. He decided to bide his time and observe quietly.
