Inquisitive Sky Hall Master was not willing to inform the other four teachers of the convention, and Dongbo Xue Ying naturally did not object.
Even though there would be some rumors, firstly, it was a short period of time, and secondly, there were few who felt that it was unfair for Dongbo Xue Ying to choose Xing Huo Xun Yi!
The genius cultivators participating in the convention were very concerned. They would gather information, and they would understand that Xing Huo Xun Yi was the son of 'Xing Huo Emperor'. He had cultivated for 500 billion years, yet his Star Pagoda ranking was merely in the 3600s. They would feel that it was unfair … and some of the higher-ups of the six great holy grounds would also know about it.
As for the ordinary cultivators, they did not have detailed information on Xing Huo Xun Yi. They might even think that 'Xing Huo Xun Yi' was a loose cultivator!
Hence, they felt that Dongbo Xue Ying's actions were unsightly.
It was mainly a portion of the 16,000 genius cultivators participating in the convention, and a portion of the members of the six great holy grounds.
…
The Star Pagoda preliminaries would select a hundred, and the teachers of the convention would select a hundred. After these 200 were selected, they would be qualified to enter the 'Pagoda of Time' in Blade Emperor City and undergo a hundred-time acceleration cultivation. In reality, it was a million years of cultivation. Furthermore, they could casually read through a large number of scriptures, and these were the more fundamental scriptures provided by the six great holy grounds.
Because these 200 would eventually enter the six great holy grounds, and the six great holy grounds would be able to exchange their fundamental scriptures.
Other than that, they would also provide some precious treasures.
A million years, countless scriptures, and being able to seek guidance from the teachers of the convention … this million years was simply a dream for many loose cultivators. If loose cultivators wanted to obtain a formidable absolute art, they would have to stake their lives and even rely on luck before they could obtain it! But now, a large number of absolute arts were placed in front of them.
Xing Huo Xun Yi had to obediently follow the rules. Under the arrangements of the convention, he would undergo a hundred-time acceleration cultivation like the other chosen cultivators.
*****
On this day.
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the rising sun: 'It has been ten thousand years. Today is the day that this group of young fellows will battle.' To him, ten thousand years was truly a short period of time. If it weren't for the occasional genius cultivators who came to ask for guidance, if he really calmed his heart and cultivated, ten thousand years would feel like a mere moment after some deduction and comprehension.
"Sou."
After leaving the cave, Dongbo Xue Ying streaked across the sky. Inquisitive Sky Palace Master also flew over from afar.
"Dongbo." Inquisitive Sky Hall Master and Dongbo Xue Ying were flying side by side, "Even though this 10,000 years is short, there are still some fellows discussing in the dark, especially that one called Ba Yun Palace Master. I've heard that he has been talking about this matter with quite a few Primal Chaos giants. He even said that he wants to see you become a joke during the ranking battle."
"Ba Yun?" Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head.
This person was indeed narrow-minded and selfish.
However, there were all sorts of cultivators, and extremely selfish ones were also very common. Those who submitted to me would prosper, and those who opposed me would perish. It was very normal for Ba Yun Palace Master to bear a grudge against him because of this matter.
"Laughing at me?" Dongbo Xue Ying laughed. "I'm afraid he won't have the chance."
"That's right," the Inquisitive Heavens Palace Master revealed a smile.
Sou sou.
The two of them flew to the venue of the Star Convention. The seating arrangement was the same as when the Star Convention was held. Dongbo Xue Ying was seated at the furthest of the five seats to the left of Heart Imitation Religious Master.
Primal Chaos giants came one after another. As for the genius cultivators who came to participate in the convention, they had all arrived long ago. Even though many of them were not chosen, they wanted to watch this public battle and see the gap in strength between them! There were also many cultivators in Blade Emperor City. Some were even children. They were looking forward to watching the battle.
"The five teachers of the convention have chosen a hundred cultivators. The other 99 are fine, but that Xing Huo Xun Yi is unquestionably someone who relied on his background. He is the least qualified one." The many genius cultivators who were watching the battle felt indignant after knowing that they were not chosen.
"I've said before that he should not be a teacher of the convention. His foresight is clearly not as good as the other four teachers of the convention."
"It's not that his foresight is lacking. Instead, he is more easily bribed."
Many genius cultivators were discussing through voice transmissions. Many of them were filled with resentment.
If Xing Huo Xun Yi was not chosen, this slot might be given to one of them.
"Let's see."
"That Xing Huo Xun Yi is merely ranked 3,600th in the Star Pagoda preliminaries. In a while, he will be exposed during the battle."
…
Heart Imitation Religious Master's voice was grand and mighty. It reverberated in the ears of every cultivator in the Star Convention, and even in their hearts: "This time, the 200 cultivators who passed through the preliminaries will be split into five groups. Two victors will be decided from each group. Ultimately, the ten victors will fight against each other … and the top five will be decided based on their battle achievements. These top five can choose any of the six great holy grounds to join. Naturally, they will become core members of the holy ground and receive nurturing. Now, the first group will begin. "
Heart Imitation Religious Master's voice was gentle, yet it caused all the spectators to turn silent.
Their gazes landed on a battle platform that was 50,000 kilometers long. At this moment, "sou sou sou", many figures flew onto the battle platform. There were a total of 40 of them. This was the first group.
During the arrangement of the battles …
Heart Imitation Religious Master was in charge of arranging it. He would split some of the more powerful genius cultivators into five groups. Even so, there would still be two victors in each group.
Furthermore, even if there were some extremely talented cultivators in a group, the other 200 would have to challenge the Star Pagoda. The teachers of the convention would then select another five!
Regardless, the purpose of the Star Convention was to select the ten best genius cultivators.
"Hong."
"Hua."
The 40 genius cultivators engaged in a chaotic battle on the battle platform. Some were blasted out of the platform, while others activated their survival treasures.
Every one of them temporarily obtained a survival treasure that could be activated instantly. But the moment they activated their survival treasure, it would signify their defeat! They would have to obediently leave the battle platform. Being blasted out of the platform would signify their defeat, and the final two remaining on the platform would be the victors.
Almost a breath of time later, there were only eight genius cultivators left. The rest had been eliminated.
Another two breaths of time later, there were only three genius cultivators left.
"Hong."
The black cloud rumbled on the body of a genius cultivator, causing him to spurt out blood and fly out of the platform. After he flew out, he stared at the tall and big young man on the platform, thinking: 'Cang Qiong Tian Yun, you are ruthless.'
The first group included Cang Qiong Tian Yun. He was the only fourth level Star Pagoda expert in the Star Pagoda selections, and he had a clear advantage over the others.
Previously, Cang Qiong Tian Yun was the strongest of the three remaining cultivators, and the other two were comparable in strength. This cultivator who was blasted out of the platform even transmitted a message to Cang Qiong Tian Yun, asking for his help, and he would definitely reward him with 10 Origin World Rocks.
Who would have thought …
Cang Qiong Tian Yun directly blasted him down.
"Cang Qiong Tian Yun is really formidable."
"He has a huge advantage."
"He is unquestionably the strongest cultivator in the first group." Even though the battle was fast, the spectators could see Cang Qiong Tian Yun's strength.
…
"Second group."
…
"Third group."
The selection of the groups was quick. Soon, it was time for the third group. The 40 cultivators of the third group flew up the battle platform. Amongst them was the golden-robed young man 'Xing Huo Xun Yi'. Just based on his appearance and temperament, Xing Huo Xun Yi was relatively eye-catching.
"Xing Huo Xun Yi is up."
"Look, in a while, he is going to be exposed." The genius cultivators who were not selected felt that it was unfair. They wanted to embarrass that unfair teacher of the convention, 'Dongbo Xue Ying'. If the person he selected, Xing Huo Xun Yi, were to lose miserably, it would naturally prove that he had no foresight and was unfair.
It was not just the spectators below.
Even the Primal Chaos giants on the high platform were paying close attention. They came to watch the convention, and had naturally heard of some rumors. Some of them could not help but glance at 'Dongbo Xue Ying' who was seated at the furthest corner of the five teachers of the convention.
Dongbo Xue Ying sat there calmly, watching the battle that was about to begin on the enormous battle platform.
General Heaven Light glanced at Dongbo Xue Ying with the corner of his eyes before continuing to watch the battle that was about to begin.
"Hong ~"
The battle immediately erupted.
The golden-robed young man Xing Huo Xun Yi suddenly erupted with a layer of white light. This white illusory light enveloped the other 39 genius cultivators on the battle platform. This was none other than Xing Huo Xun Yi's ancient cultivation illusory realm! Having reached such a realm in the Dao of Mirage, and having grasped the 'Illusory Mirage Annihilation' created by Dongbo Xue Ying, his original ancient cultivation illusory realm had naturally reached a brand new level. The terrifying illusory realm power caused close to half a day of cultivators present to fall into it. There were a few who struggled to stay awake, and only a few who remained completely awake.
At the same time when he unleashed his illusory realm, Xing Huo Xun Yi waved his hand.
"Hong ~"
The fiery light abruptly charged against the bodies of the surrounding genius cultivators. His Dao of Mirage was at the fourth level Star Pagoda strength, and his bloodline cultivation did not improve by much, though it was still at the third level strength. Currently, under the group attack, those who had fallen into the illusory realm or were struggling to stay awake could hardly resist.
The fiery impact swept out, blasting many genius cultivators out of the battle platform. Only eight of them were still able to resist. They were relatively strong, and their cultivation hearts were formidable too. But the eight of them were looking at Xing Huo Xun Yi with slight shock and disbelief.
Not just them.
Those genius cultivators below the platform who wanted to see Xing Huo Xun Yi expose himself and wanted to prove that the teacher of the convention, 'Dongbo Xue Ying', was unfair, had their mouths wide open.
This, this, this?
This was the strength of someone ranked 3,600th in the Star Pagoda preliminary selection? Why did it feel that he was even more tyrannical than the first-ranked Cang Qiong Tian Yun?
…
And on the high platform, many Primal Chaos giants were shocked. Some could not help but look at that white-robed young man.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Xing Huo Emperor. Congratulations." Some Primal Chaos giants began conversing with Xing Huo Emperor. They had good foresight. Controlling the illusory realm was definitely his own strength. It was impossible for it to be an external force.
And over at the side of the five teachers of the convention.
General Hatchet Palace Master glanced at the leftmost Dongbo Xue Ying with interest. He revealed a grin and thought: 'Interesting. In just 10,000 years, Xing Huo Xun Yi has actually improved so much, and it is an illusory realm too? Dongbo Xue Ying is also famous for his illusory realm. '
"Elder Dongbo."
Violet Slaughter Island Master's smile was absolutely beautiful. It was filled with a shocking allure, "Truly formidable, truly formidable. No wonder you chose this Xing Huo Xun Yi. In my opinion, he might be stronger than Cang Qiong Tian Yun."
Dongbo Xue Ying said instead: "The illusory realm specializes in group attacks. As for who is stronger between this brat Xun Yi and Cang Qiong Tian Yun, we can only know during the final battle."
