Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a cycle of sixty years had passed.
Qin Di had cultivated step by step and had already constructed more than 2,300 Great Dao skeletons. His cultivation level was close to that of a late-stage ninth-stage Heaven Immortal.
Ever since the Black Emperor Palace had announced the competition, the disciples who were interested in competing had already started registering. In the end, there were more than 53,000 Heaven Immortals participating in the competition!
When it was almost time for the competition, a hundred arenas had been set up in a 50-kilometer plaza outside the Central Prefecture Sengoku Pavilion. Each arena was enveloped by a level-six immortal formation. Two Zu Xian stood in the formation, one on the left and one on the right. These two stood in the formation as referees and also to prevent disciples from chasing after their opponents in a frenzy of killing. If the fight was too intense, it might lead to an unfortunate death.
Because the participants were all Heaven Immortals, as long as their grotto-heaven was not pierced, they would not die on the spot. As long as they did not die, even if they lost an arm, a leg, or a head, they could grow back.
In order to protect the participants' grotto-heaven worlds from being pierced by their opponents, the sect had given each of them a level-four immortal talisman and allowed them to stick it on their navels.
The defensive power of a level-four immortal talisman was not very strong. It could not guarantee that the disciples would not be injured, but it could reduce the degree of injury. Once the immortal talisman was seriously damaged, the guardian Zu Xian could order the disciple to withdraw from the competition and declare the other side the winner.
On the third day of the third month, the grand sect competition officially began.
The plaza was packed with people. More than half of the 500,000 Heaven Immortals had come. Each arena was surrounded by thousands of people.
The 53,000 participating disciples were divided into 100 groups.
Each group had more than 500 disciples, and the top ten would be decided. Altogether, they would be ranked in the top 1,000. This was considered the preliminary competition.
Qin Di looked around and found that no important figures had come to watch the competition. Not only did Great Emperor Zhenwu not appear, but even Jin Xian and Sengoku did not show up. After all, the standard of this competition was too low. To Jin Xian, watching the competition was a waste of time.
Qin Di was placed in the 35th group. According to the rules of the competition, more than 500 people would take turns to compete on the stage. Each person would first compete in 10 matches.
In the first match, Qin Di won easily in less than ten minutes with his smooth footwork, the Life-Death Note that could boil water into ice, and the camouflage of the Flower and Moon Water.
For the next few matches, he used the same method and easily defeated his opponents.
Only in the eighth match, his opponent was stronger and had a ball of Weak Water at the peak of the fifth level, forcing him to use two types of fifth level immortal water to form the Yin-Yang Sword Formation. Only then did he finally win the match.
Thousands of people were watching the match. Many of them were puzzled to see Qin Di win so easily.
"Strange, how did Qin Shui win again?"
"He doesn't even have Ruoshui, how did he win?"
"This fellow's execution of the Subtle Rippling Steps is too marvelous! Together with the 'Waning Moon Lacking Fragrance Tower', he can disrupt the vision of his opponents, making it impossible for them to find him! "
"Yeah, he fought his way into the top 3,000 on the Black Emperor Stele, which is definitely not an undeserved reputation. I have high hopes for this person, and I think he can fight his way into the finals! "
"The finals only select 100 people. Do you think he can fight his way into the top 10?"
"Not likely! Didn't you see when he first met Zhang Song? Because Zhang Song had Weak Water, he had a hard time winning! "
"Although Qin Shui is ranked 13th on the Black Emperor Stele, that is because some outstanding disciples did not enter the Black Emperor Stele. If all the disciples went in to challenge, Qin Shui's ranking would probably be pushed back by 30 places."
The audience below the stage were not the only ones who held such a view. Even the two Ancestral Immortals who were in charge of protecting Qin Di shook their heads slightly. Clearly, they did not like Qin Di's flashy and opportunistic fighting style.
His smooth movements were too beautiful, like a butterfly flying through flowers!
The Flower and Moon Water was too dazzling, and it could dazzle people's eyes.
However, in the eyes of the two Zu Xian's, these small spiritual techniques were not practical!
Qin Di did not care about other people's opinions. No matter what, he had obtained 10 consecutive victories, and he was ranked at the top of this group.
A month later, the 35th group's first round of competition ended. The results of the competition were tallied, and a total of five people obtained 10 consecutive victories. These people included Qin Di, and they naturally entered the semi-finals.
There were still five people left to be selected from the disciples with nine consecutive victories. There were a total of 19 people with nine consecutive victories.
The two Zu Xian's discussed and decided to give these 19 people the second round of competition.
Three days later, after many rounds of competition, the remaining five people were also selected. The top 10 people of the group entered the semi-finals.
Soon, the entire Black Emperor Palace's list of 1,000 people for the semi-finals was out! The disciples who had a higher chance of winning were basically all in the list, and there were very few experts who were eliminated due to accidents.
After resting for three days, the semi-finals would continue.
During the semi-finals, Jin Xian, who wore a tall crown on his head, quietly appeared in the pavilion in front of the Sengoku Pavilion. He sat on a golden chair without saying a word, quietly watching the competition below.
There were a total of 1,000 Heaven Immortals participating in the semi-finals, and they were evenly divided into 100 arenas. There were only 10 people in each arena.
These 10 people would fight with each other from start to finish, and the person with the most victories would qualify to enter the finals. There would only be one winner in each arena.
This time, Qin Di still did not reveal himself. He relied on his smooth identity and the Life-Death Talisman, and at most released two kinds of fifth-stage immortal water. He barely managed to win eight consecutive battles!
The last opponent was called 'Guo Dong'. This was an expert, and he was ranked 3100th on the Black Emperor Stele. He was just a little lower than Qin Di!
Qin Di had never seen this person before. Ever since he entered the Black Emperor Stele to challenge, Guo Dong had never appeared.
Guo Dong had a ball of sixth-stage immortal water in his hand, which turned into a huge black scissors. It was three feet long and glowed with a dark light. It spun in the air, cutting from top to bottom, and it was very sharp!
Qin Di's Yin and Yang Sword Array was also sharp, and his sword skills were not inferior to his opponent's. However, the two kinds of fifth-stage immortal water that he released were clearly no match for the sixth-stage immortal water. The immortal sword formed by the immortal water was smashed into pieces the moment it touched the scissors!
Qin Di kept retreating, and he used Mirrored Flowers, Water Moon several times, but it was useless. At the critical moment, he secretly used a bit of 'Years Flow Like Water', and with a slight divine sense attack, his opponent's scissors paused for a moment. At that moment, he released the Life-Death Talisman, and finally defeated his opponent!
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded!
"F * ck, he can win like that?"
"How did Qin Shui win? Why don't I understand? "
"This guy is getting more and more strange! His luck is getting better and better! I don't know why Guo Dong was so slow at the critical moment! "
"I heard that Guo Dong is the sixth grandson of Jin Xian Guo Guang, and the one sitting in the pavilion over there must be Jin Xian Guo Guang! He must be very angry when he saw his descendant lose the competition! "
Hearing that, Qin Di was shocked. When he turned his head, he saw that Jin Xian, who was wearing a tall crown, had stood up. From ten miles away, he snorted at Qin Di, turned around, and left!
That snort was like a heavy hammer that hit Qin Di's heart, making him feel very uncomfortable!
Fortunately, Qin Di's divine sense had been tempered thousands of times, and it was equivalent to the peak level of Zu Xian, so he was not hurt!
Staring at his opponent's back and watching him disappear behind the pillar of the Sengoku Pavilion, he thought to himself, How could there be such a person in the Black Emperor Palace? As an elder, how dare he do this to me! Humph, humph, I'll remember you!
The two Guardians, Zu Xian, were also shocked, and their expressions became very ugly. However, they didn't dare to say a word.
Guo Dong got up from the ground and glared at Qin Di, saying, "How dare you block my way! Humph! This is not over yet! "
