Not long after, Black Emperor Palace sent out an official notice that they would hold a sect competition after sixty years. All Zu Xian and Celestial Immortals were welcome to participate. The disciples with the best results in the end would receive all kinds of rewards. For Celestial Immortals, as long as they could enter the top 3,000, they would receive 2,000 sect points; top 1,000 would receive immortal elixirs and talismans; top 100 would receive a fifth-grade immortal weapon! Those who entered the top ten would be rewarded with a restricted cultivation technique of the sect.
At that time, Emperor Zhenwu would appear and choose one of the top four, Zu Xian, as a disciple, and another Celestial Immortal as an in-name disciple.
Once the news spread, Black Emperor Palace was in an uproar!
Five hundred thousand Celestial Immortals and three thousand Zu Xian, many people were talking about it!
"Those rewards are fine. The most important thing is that Emperor Zhenwu is recruiting a disciple!"
"Yeah, I remember the last time the Emperor recruited a disciple was three million years ago. I didn't expect that after so many years, he still wants to recruit a disciple. What a model of youth!"
"What a rare opportunity this is! I wonder who will be lucky enough to become the Emperor's disciple. "
"I wonder what kind of person the Emperor likes? What other requirements does he have other than to enter the top four? "
"That goes without saying. The Emperor will definitely consider everything. Young age, good potential, good character, excellent results in the competition, beautiful performance in the arena, strong combat ability … etc … "
"I think the most important thing is to be in the Emperor's good books! You have to be pleasing to his eyes! Other than that, everything else is secondary! Even if you win first place in the competition, you might not be accepted by him. In the end, this is fate! "
"Hehe, fate doesn't appear out of thin air. How can there be such a thing as a pie falling from the sky? If you don't perform well in the arena, you won't have a chance. "
"Hmm, that makes sense. No matter what, you have to enter the top four first! "
"Alas, I don't have any hope! I'm only an early-stage Ninth Stage Celestial Immortal. Compared to a peak Ninth Stage disciple, there's a big gap in strength. Among the five hundred thousand Celestial Immortals in our sect, there are thousands of peak Ninth Stage disciples. Unless there are special circumstances, these people will be at the top. So, this competition is not fair! "
"Hmph, how can there be so much fairness? You can only blame your bad luck! If the Great Emperor had taken in a disciple 10,000 years later, wouldn't your luck have come? "
At this time, in the southeast corner of Dui Province, at the end of the long street of the Ruins of Immortality, Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling were sitting across from each other in a small tavern.
Kuo Zhong drank a bowl of immortal wine and said with a smile, "Young Master Ling, you have the biggest chance this time. You are ranked 1,800 on the Black Thearch Stele, 300 places ahead of me. Your strength is far above mine. With the Enlightened Sword Heart, the Nine Secret Words, and the Immortal Seal, he would definitely get the first place. It would be strange if the Great Emperor didn't choose you! "
Xu Zhiling appeared rather delicate, his face was as white as jade. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhong also has a great chance. Your Moon in the Well and Piercing Sun Bow are both Tier 6 Immortal Artifacts. If it wasn't for the fact that you couldn't get them into the Black Emperor Stele, your ranking would not be lower than mine! "
Kuo Zhong shook his head vigorously. "No way! This competition also forbids the use of Immortal Artifacts. I can only use Weak Water to transform into Immortal Artifacts. I think it's not as good as an Immortal Artifact that I'm comfortable with. "
Xu Zhiling picked up his bowl and drank a mouthful of wine. His eyes flashed with determination. "Brother Zhong, we were born in the streets. By chance, we stole Mother's Longevity Art. After many years of hard work, we shattered the void and came to the Immortal World. Every step was not easy. It could be said that every step was filled with danger. Since we have such a rare opportunity, we must fight for it! "
The two of them chatted as they drank. After a while, Kuo Zhong put down his bowl and asked, "Young Master Ling, who do you think will be our opponents this time?"
Xu Zhiling thought about it and said, "As Heavenly Senshu warriors, there are seven to eight experts who made it into the top 3,000 on the Black Thearch Stele. According to what I know, there are a few Jin Xian descendants among them. If we fight openly, I'm not afraid. I'm just afraid that those people will backstab me in the back. "
Kuo Zhong pondered for a while and said, "I heard that the Great Emperor Zhenwu will be there personally during the competition. Who would dare to use underhanded tricks in front of him?"
"I'm afraid that in the next sixty years, there will be people who will cause trouble for us!"
"Mm, you're right. From tomorrow onwards, I plan to stay in the Immortal Palace and not go out. I'll spend the next sixty years quietly. "
"After I advance to Zu Xian, I want to go to Nhat Hanh in the west. I heard that the Merciful Boathouse was founded by the White Emperor Palace and the Buddhist Sect. Its headquarters is in the Kui Wood Wolf Galaxy. I plan to go and take a look … "
At that moment, in the northwest corner of the Central Plains, in the majestic Immortal Palace, a black-robed Jin Xian sat on a wide chair. A young man knelt in front of him.
"Zhu Cheng, you are my eighth-generation great-great-grandson. You have great potential. I have high hopes for you and have nurtured you carefully since you were young. You have lived up to expectations. After cultivating for 280,000 years, you are already a peak rank nine Heaven Immortal. You have mastered rank six weak water and are ranked 2,400 on the Black Thearch Stele. It is very rare. "
After the young man kowtowed, he stood up and said, "Thank you, Patriarch, for your nurturing."
The black-robed Jin Xian said, "I've thought about it carefully. This time, you have a great chance of being chosen by the Great Emperor. In comparison, the two people ranked ahead of you, Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling, are only strong in close combat, but do not have a stable immortal foundation. They are of humble origins and relied on half of the Longevity Art to walk the path of immortality. They have encountered many obstacles along the way. Although they have the spirit to move forward bravely, immortal cultivation does not rely on killing! More importantly, they have an understanding of the Heavenly Dao laws. They have not met a master, so their understanding of the Heavenly Dao is different. "
"I have taught you immortal texts since you were young and taught you how to refine immortal talismans. You are a rank four immortal talisman master, which will give you a lot of points. More importantly, your grotto-heaven world has evolved very well. Not only is it two to three times larger than an ordinary Heaven Immortal, but the laws are perfect and your immortal foundation is stable! Just this point alone will make the Great Emperor like you. "
At this point, the black-robed Jin Xian stopped and stroked his grey beard. He pondered for a moment and said, "There is still sixty years before the grand competition. I will teach you the Taiyi Water Separation Art. If you can master a part of it, you will have a chance to defeat those two."
The young man suddenly said, "Ancestor, from the name of this cultivation method, it doesn't seem to be a cultivation method of the Black Emperor Palace?"
The black-robed Jin Xian nodded, "This is a powerful cultivation method I exchanged from Immortal Taiyi. It can turn a ball of weak water into ten thousand stars, similar to ten thousand swords attacking at the same time. It is very powerful … "
"Ancestor, since this is not a cultivation method of the Black Emperor Palace, can I use it in the grand competition?"
"Don't worry. After I obtained this cultivation method, I have already recorded it in the Black Emperor Palace. Immortal Taiyi was one of the twelve Jin Xian of the Chan Sect during the primordial era. Tens of millions of years have passed since the primordial era. Immortal Taiyi is already at the peak of Sengoku. Some say he may be an immortal emperor. "
"By chance, I met him at the Taiwei Enclosure five million years ago. At that time, the Black Emperor did not leave. I was ordered by the Black Emperor to go to the Taiwei Immortal Ruins to sell the specialties of the Black Emperor Palace and help the sect exchange cultivation resources. "
"At that time, I had a rank seven 'Weak Water Immortal Lotus' that Immortal Taiyi had taken a fancy to. He came and left in a hurry and did not have any treasures, so he used the 'Taiyi Water Separation Technique' to exchange for a lotus root and brought it back to help his disciple Nezha. At that time, Nezha was young and impetuous. He would rather cut off his bones and flesh to cut off his relationship with his parents. The Weak Water Immortal Lotus is an excellent immortal material for refining the body … "
"After I returned, I reported this to the Black Emperor. The Black Emperor said I did well. Immortal Taiyi is a senior of the Immortal Dao, and he is respected by people. Even if I gave the lotus root to him for free, it is also right. "
At this point, the black-robed Jin Xian stretched out a finger and pointed it at the young man's head.
The young man knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Ancestor, for imparting the cultivation method! I will definitely cultivate hard and win first place in the grand competition … "
