The first stage ended!
Inside Secret Realm 97, Xiao Chen looked at his ranking: ninety-eighth.
Gong Liangyu, who ranked first, had four million Faux God Spirit Jades, still ranked first.
He is not dead yet?
As Xiao Chen looked at the three-kilometer-tall pile of rubble, he entered deep thought. Of the elemental Great Dao of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, the Earth Great Dao was the most resilient. The saying "as firm as a boulder" or as stable as a mountain described cultivators who cultivated the Earth Great Dao.
Earth was also the foundation of many elemental Great Dao. The many Great Dao in the world evolved from the Earth Great Dao.
The elemental Great Dao did not differ in strength. However, one had to admit that cultivators who grasped the Earth Great Dao were more difficult to deal with.
The Earth Great Dao was also one of the more difficult elemental Great Dao to cultivate.
It was extremely incredible that Gong Liangyu could break through the Earth Great Dao to the Dao Domain.
"Whoosh!"
The rubble in front flowed like water, and Gong Liangyu slowly emerged from it.
"Participant Gong Liangyu, congratulations. You rank thirteenth overall in the first stage!"
Ranking thirteenth meant that Gong Liangyu would not be a seeded participant in the second stage. This was a significant blow to Gong Liangyu, who was determined to rank within the top ten.
"You should rejoice that the test is over."
Gong Liangyu looked coldly at Xiao Chen. It was all because of this person. If not for Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen would have been able to rank within the top ten.
Indeed, when the Great Desolate Eon bloodline vanished, the test ended.
"You are overthinking. Luck is also a part of strength. No matter how lucky I am, I obtained this result through hard work and perseverance. "
It had to be said that this was Xiao Chen's luck. However, this was also the result he obtained after persevering.
Xiao Chen was very open-minded, not feeling as conflicted or dissatisfied as Gong Liangyu.
To Xiao Chen, it was already a pretty good result to be able to enter the next stage.
More than one million participants gathered in the entire Martial Epoch. This was a super test for Sovereign Personages under five hundred years old.
The first stage eliminated more than nine hundred thousand participants. Xiao Chen already felt satisfied that he did not get eliminated.
As for talking about luck, it seemed a little petty.
Without perseverance and doing everything he could, he would not be able to enjoy luck.
"Humph, I hope you won't run into me in the next round!"
Gong Liangyu snorted coldly as a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Now, he felt that Gong Liangyu wasn't that scary anymore.
If he really felt that he had only relied on luck to pass this stage.
If he were to meet the other party in the second test, he might not have to put himself in such a sorry state.
In the secret realm, the bodies of the remaining hundred people started to fade as they were teleported out by the Realm Spirit.
Xiu!
Xiao Chen's body flickered as he appeared on the Starry Sky Dao Pillar in Desolate City. As soon as he appeared, he was shocked to find that he was surrounded by nothing but empty land.
The examinees who had been eliminated had already taken the initiative to make way for Xiao Chen and the other examinees.
Apart from him, there was only one person in the entire Barren City assessment area who had passed the first test.
Everyone else would have to go through the Losers Bracket and undergo rounds of cruel battles to obtain a limited number of spots.
"Nangong Feng, Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge's disciple."
A person at the side greeted Xiao Chen and reported his name.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Chen, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's disciple."
At the mention of the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor, a strange look flashed in Nangong Feng's eyes.
When Xiao Chen discovered that only he and Nangong Feng had passed the first test, he found it somewhat strange. This Desolate City assessment area is too unlucky.
Nangong Feng glanced at Xiao Chen and said indifferently, "Desolate City is just a transit point. There are not many experts here, so it is only average in the first place. The results of this test are very polarized. The three dynasties' assessment areas occupy sixty percent of the spots. The special astral zones' assessment areas account for twenty percent. Many of the other assessment areas were even completely wiped out. "
The Heavenly Alliance was a super faction that spanned the entire Great Thousand Realms. However, the three dynasties, which occupied great Luck, had more true experts.
As for the so-called special astral zones, they were only those that were far from the Central Great Realm. However, due to many factors, the Spiritual Energy of these outer regions was no weaker than that of the Central Great Realm. They even gave birth to special secret realms that could nurture many experts. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
The thrones of the purple-haired old man and the group of Sovereign Emperors flew to the two. City Lord Shangguan revealed a smile and said, "Congratulations to the two of you for passing the first test. In the end, the Heavenly Alliance changed the rules before dying. I thought that the Desolate City assessment area would be completely wiped out."
"Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge, Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor."
"Present."
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor and Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge stood up and appeared. Then, they arrived before the purple-haired old man and bowed respectfully.
"The two of you, each lead a disciple and bring glory to my Desolate City assessment area. I will reward you well. Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge, I will give you one hundred million Primeval Heavenly Pills, one hundred Sub-Divine Crystals, and a ten-thousand-year-old Herb King. You can choose whatever you want in the Treasure Pavilion. "
Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge revealed an expression of joy. Sub-Divine Crystals were Peak Grade Spirit Jades, extremely rare. Obtaining one hundred of them would be a great fortune to a Sovereign Emperor.
As for Primeval Heavenly Pills, they were somewhat insignificant. However, one hundred million was a completely different matter.
The so-called ten-thousand-year-old Herb King referred to natural treasures that were more than one hundred thousand years old. They were treasures that could extend one's life at any time.
The other Sovereign Emperors revealed envious expressions. The rewards for this test were several times higher than before.
However, this made sense when they thought about it. There were more than one million participants, and the Heavenly Alliance changed the rules at the last minute. No amount of rewards would be too much for someone who could lead the participants through the first test under such circumstances.
Otherwise, City Lord Shangguan wouldn't be able to keep his face if everyone in the Desolate City's examination area was wiped out.
"As for the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor, haha! I really do not know how to reward you this time. To think that you managed to bring out a powerful demonic genius who grasped Martial and Soul as One at the age of forty-seven. Furthermore, you even passed the first test. You have given me a pleasant surprise. "
The purple-haired old man's gaze fell on the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor, and he naturally revealed a smile.
"Lord Shangguan, you are too serious."
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor replied politely.
The purple-haired old man laughed loudly and said, "I am not exaggerating. Earlier, several Heavenly Alliance core Doyens asked me about Xiao Chen. He expressed his willingness to accept Xiao Chen into the Heavenly Alliance. I am truly flattered. This has never happened in the ten thousand years I have been in Desolate City. Hahaha! "
The moment Xiao Chen said that, the surrounding Sovereign Emperors burst into an uproar, feeling incredibly shocked.
Within the Heaven Alliance, aside from the Alliance Master and the Deputy Alliance Master, the Law Kings held the highest position.
For example, the purple-haired elder was only a Grand Elder, not a core Grand Elder.
However, the purple-haired elder was a bit special. He had to oversee Desolate City. Although he was a Grand Elder, his status and authority were not inferior to that of a Core Grand Elder.
Most of the Doyens in the other regions were 9-Vein Sovereign Emperors. Back then, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor also had a chance to become a Doyen.
However, he didn't care much about it, so he retreated.
Now, Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge was doing his best to climb up the ranks and become one of the Heavenly Alliance's Doyens.
Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge and his disciple, Nangong Feng, showed envy and shock on their faces. To think that a core Doyen took a fancy to Xiao Chen.
This was a blessing that could not be obtained even in several lifetimes, something that Nangong Feng did not even dare to dream about.
Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge felt even more depressed. If Xiao Chen were his disciple, he might have directly become a Doyen with this contribution.
To think that such a good thing fell into the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's lap. No matter how Sovereign Emperor Xing Ge thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor felt slightly startled. He had not expected a core Doyen to notice Xiao Chen.
Previously, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor was only one step away from becoming a Doyen. He knew very well how horrifying the strength of the core Doyens, who were above Doyens, was.
The core Doyens had the authority to bring the disciple they fancied into the Heavenly Alliance.
However, the core Doyens could use such authority only once or twice at most.
The Heavenly Alliance was a super faction made up of many peak merchant associations. For the sake of the Heavenly Alliance's continuous operation, it needed strict alliance rules. The Heavenly Alliance's test was one of the most serious matters of the Heavenly Alliance. No mistakes could be tolerated.
Even the core Doyens could use such authority only once or twice for Xiao Chen. This showed how much they valued Xiao Chen.
For a core Doyen to be willing to use this privilege that could only be used once or twice for Xiao Chen showed how much they valued Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen might not understand the significance of this, but these Sovereign Emperors understood it very well.
"Xiao Chen, what's your decision? If you are willing, you can formally join the Heavenly Alliance without needing to participate in the second stage," the purple-haired old man said softly as he looked at Xiao Chen.
The purple-haired old man entered deep thought. Then, he nodded and said, "Very well. I'll tell you the information of these core Doyens in private."
The purple-haired old man entered deep thought. Then, he nodded and said, "Alright. I'll tell you the information of these core Doyens in private."
"Thank you, Lord Shangguan."
At the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's signal, Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute, thanking the purple-haired old man.
The purple-haired old man looked at the other participants and said, "The second stage will be held ten days from now. If you want to participate in the loser's arena, make your preparations and come ten days from now. If you are not willing, those who still have Faux God Spirit Jades can exchange them for some resources you need in Desolate City. "
"Thank you, Lord Shangguan."
