In the Black Emperor Palace, there were a total of 18 arenas, one of which was open to Zu Xian. This arena attracted the attention of almost half the audience.
The remaining seventeen arenas were further divided into three levels. Among them, the number of arenas for early-stage Heaven Immortals was the least, with only two arenas; for mid-stage Heaven Immortals, there were five arenas; and for late-stage Heaven Immortals, there were twelve arenas.
The 12 arenas for late-stage Heaven Immortals were further divided into four levels. The three arenas on the left were open to cultivators ranked within 10,000. The three arenas on the right were open to cultivators ranked between 10,000 and 20,000. The three arenas in the front were open to cultivators ranked between 20,000 and 40,000. The three arenas at the back were open to cultivators ranked after 40,000.
The Black Emperor Palace had 500,000 Heaven Immortals. Among them, there were 70,000 late-stage Heaven Immortals. This kind of arrangement could be considered to have taken care of all aspects.
As it was Qin Di's first time entering the Black Emperor Stele, he was ranked at the bottom and had no arena points. He had to start from the beginning and choose a lower level arena.
He chose a ring and slowly squeezed his way forward. With great difficulty, he reached the entrance. There was a Zu Xian there. He was in charge of deducting points and explaining.
There were many people who wanted to enter the arena. Beside each arena, there were dozens of people waiting.
Qin Di came to Zu Xian and called out, "Martial Uncle, I want to challenge!"
This Ancestral Immortal had a tall and sturdy body, and his muscles were powerful. In front of his chest hung a golden nameplate, which had the words "He Jin" written on it. According to the rules of the Black Thearch Palace, this should be his name.
He turned to look at Qin Di and asked, "How many matches do you want to challenge?"
Qin Di answered, "Thirty!"
He Jin frowned and snorted. "Ten matches at most! There are many people waiting behind! "
Qin Di grinned and said, "Ten matches it is then."
"Give me your identity token!"
Qin Di handed it over.
He Jin deducted a thousand points and returned the identity token to Qin Di. "Just wait, I'll call you when the time comes."
"Martial Uncle, how long do we have to wait?"
"It might take a day before it's your turn."
Therefore, Qin Di could only be a spectator and quietly enjoy the sparring in the ring.
The so-called spar was a harmonious way of saying it. Actually, if they really fought, it would not be harmonious at all! Both sides used all sorts of methods and resorted to every conceivable means. Some challenges had a great disparity in strength and only lasted for a dozen or so breaths before the outcome was decided! Some battles would last for an hour before the victor was finally decided. Regardless of whether it was a quick or slow victory, there would always be one side who died in battle, and the other side might be covered in wounds and have no choice but to leave the arena to rest.
Fortunately, they were inside the Black Emperor Stele. Even if they died in battle, they would not really die. At most, they would lose one-thousandth of their primordial spirits.
The next afternoon, it was finally Qin Di's turn.
Hearing Zu Xian and He Jin's call, he jumped into the arena with a whoosh.
After pausing for a moment, a tall man walked up. This was a seventh-stage Heaven Immortal called 'Who Is Qi', ranked 53,000.
Seeing that Qin Di was a ninth-stage Heaven Immortal, he was a little nervous.
"Senior Brother, please take care of me."
"Sure, Junior Brother, please make your move. I'll let you have ten moves first."
Hearing this, Who Is Qi was a little annoyed and thought to himself, "Aren't you looking down on me too much? Who goes up to the arena and lets someone have ten moves? "
At this moment, his nervousness was gone. Holding in his anger, he said, "Senior Brother, you don't have to be so polite. This is an arena spar, there's no need to give way."
"Sure, sure. Junior Brother, please! "
Who Is Qi took a deep breath and suddenly released the immortal water that he had cultivated for many years. It turned into an immortal sword and stabbed at Qin Di.
Qin Di executed his moves as smoothly as flowing water while observing his opponent's moves.
At this moment, he heard Zu Xian's voice, "Who Is Qi is a seventh-stage Heaven Immortal. His cultivation is slightly weaker, so he will make the first move! His immortal water was born from weak water, and he cultivates the Three Thousand Weak Water Great Dao. He turned a peak fourth-stage immortal water into an immortal sword and executed the Black Emperor Palace's traditional technique, the Eighteen Styles of Peach Blossom Flowing Water Sword. This sword technique is continuous and dense. It looks weak, but it's actually very powerful. When practiced to the extreme, it will have extraordinary power … "
"Qin Water is a ninth-stage Heaven Immortal. I don't know why, but this is his first time on the stage.
Maybe it's because he joined the sect late … "Who Is Qi continued to attack, and the sword rain kept falling, covering the space around Qin Di.
He thought, Why don't you make your move! How dare you let me have ten moves first! Hmph, no matter what, I'm a seventh-stage Heaven Immortal. How can I be humiliated like this?
Qin Di didn't want to humiliate his opponent. He just wanted to use his opponent's attacks to test his long-cultivated and smooth footwork.
After three moves, Who Is Qi's water sword didn't even touch a hair on Qin Di's body. Seeing that his opponent still didn't make a move, he became a little anxious.
Soon, the ten moves were over. Qin Di's smooth footwork was still not perfect, so he was careless during this period, and his opponent cut off a piece of his sleeve.
Ancestral Immortal He Jin explained loudly, "Qin Shui is using the Subtle Steps of Rippling Waves. He has actually mastered the Subtle Steps of Rippling Waves. Compared to the usual Subtle Steps of Rippling Waves, it seems to have many variations. It's unconstrained and ingenious … No matter how many people attack together, they can't hurt him at all …"
"The sword technique that Who Is Qi used seems to have some flaws. It's not fast enough, and the intent realm is not deep enough. When the Peach Blossom Flowing Water Sword is cultivated to the end, it can evolve into the Heartless Water Grass Spring. Amidst the sadness, there's freedom, and the power can be increased by ten times. In that case, Qin Water won't be easy to deal with …"
At this moment, the ten moves were over, and Qin Di began to attack. He used the Boiling Water to Ice, which was to continuously release Life-Death Notes.
Although it was easy to practice it, it was a little different when it came to the real fight. Qin Di clearly felt that the circulation of Qi wasn't smooth, and the Life-Death Notes he made weren't perfect, and the speed at which he released them wasn't fast. If he didn't have the smooth footwork, he wouldn't be a match for his opponent with this move.
At this moment, He Jin, who was in charge of the commentary, looked surprised, and he paused for a while.
In his impression, many people knew how to use the Life and Death Talismans, but they were usually used to restrain demon beasts. Qin Di used it in actual combat, continuously releasing the Life and Death Talismans to subdue the enemy. This kind of combat technique was rare. Only some Golden Immortals or high-level Ancestral Immortals could use this technique.
The technique of releasing Life-Death Notes continuously was a restricted technique of the Black Emperor Palace. Even low-level Zu Xian masters couldn't inherit it, let alone ordinary Heaven Immortals. Unless the person had made a great contribution to the sect, they could make an exception and learn it.
He Jin, who was a mid-level Zu Xian master, had been looking forward to learning this technique for a long time, but he didn't expect that Qin Di would use it on his first fight. He was so surprised that he paused for the commentary and just stared at Qin Di with wide eyes, afraid that he would miss something.
He didn't know where Qin Shui got this technique, and he wouldn't ask in front of so many people. Since there were so many people in the sect, any special situation could happen. Maybe Qin Shui was the last disciple of a certain Jin Xian master, or he was the descendant of a certain Sengoku master, or he had made a contribution to the Black Emperor Palace and accidentally found a blessed cave abode left by a predecessor …
Qin Di released the Life-Death Notes continuously, faster and faster, and his technique became more and more proficient.
No matter who released the Water Escape Technique, they couldn't stop the penetrating effect of the Life-Death Notes. They could only dodge quickly and swim around. However, in less than 15 minutes, he failed to dodge the Life-Death Notes. His left and right legs were nailed by the Life-Death Notes, and his shoulders were also bound. His body was sore and numb, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
He lay on the ground and shouted, "Senior Brother, I surrender! I surrender!"
With a smile, Qin Di took back the Life-Death Notes. "Thank you for practicing with me, Junior Brother."
