"After the test before the finals, a total of 3,174 people have obtained mountaineering tokens, which means that 3,174 people will participate in the finals of the Blood Valley."
The supreme expert presiding over the finals announced.
Only then did the contestants notice that the number of cultivators around them had decreased significantly. Out of the 10,005 contestants, only a little more than 3,000 were left. The rest were naturally eliminated.
Who would have thought …
The finals of the Blood Valley were so cruel that two-thirds of the contestants had been eliminated before the real finals had even begun. The official finals that followed would definitely be even crueler.
Then, the supreme expert spoke of what the contestants were most concerned about. "According to the contestants' previous performance, the grades of the mountaineering tokens you've obtained will be different. Now, this seat will determine the grade of your tokens based on your performance!"
Su Fang guessed that the benefit Xi Xuan Daozu was talking about should be the grade of the mountaineering tokens. He was immediately filled with anticipation.
With his previous performance, he should be able to obtain the highest grade of mountaineering token.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
As soon as the supreme expert finished speaking, the mountaineering tokens in all the contestants' bodies automatically flew out of their bodies and floated above their heads.
These mountaineering tokens looked exactly the same. They were only the size of a palm and seemed to be carved from white jade.
That supreme powerhouse waved his hand and swept out a wave of divine might that swept across the tokens in an instant.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! All the mountaineering tokens trembled and emitted buzzing sounds.
The tokens began to change one by one.
Most of the tokens first had mysterious and abstruse markings before turning bronze, as if they were made of bronze.
Some of the contestants' tokens had deeper and more abstruse markings that eventually flashed with a silver glow.
Only a very small number of mountaineering tokens had markings that intertwined into a star pattern that was even more mysterious and abstruse. Finally, it flashed with a golden light as if it were made of gold.
The lowest grade was naturally the bronze token, which belonged to the lower grade.
That kind of silver token belonged to the middle-grade token category.
The lowest number was also the highest grade, which was naturally the gold token.
Dongxuan Huihuang, Ye Feixuan, Li Sheng, the yao youth, Gu Tianchi, Dongxuan Yichen, and the others all had the highest grade gold tokens.
Although they didn't know what the mountaineering token was used for, the contestants knew that the quality of the mountaineering token would directly affect their performance in the finals.
Those competitors who obtained low-grade tokens were naturally disappointed, and they were extremely envious of those competitors who obtained gold and silver tokens.
"It looks like my previous performance has won the approval of the host of Jiuxuan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have received the highest grade of ascension medallion." Dongxuan Huihuang held the ascension medallion in his hand, pride shining in his eyes.
"Hmph, I'd like to see what grade of mountaineering token Su Fang can obtain in the end!"
Dongxuan Huihuang looked at Su Fang.
Not only was Dongxuan brilliant, almost all the cultivators wanted to know what level of token Su Fang would receive; all of them looked towards the top of Su Fang's head.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Everyone's gaze was focused on the mountaineering token above Su Fang's head, and they were all dumbfounded.
It wasn't just the other cultivators, even Su Fang himself was dumbfounded when he saw the mountaineering token.
His mountaineering token didn't seem to have changed; it was still carved from white jade.
This meant that his mountaineering token was a blank slate, not even comparable to the lowest grade bronze token.
Who would have thought?
Who would have thought?
Su Fang had performed so shockingly in the process of searching for the mountaineering token, but the result was actually like this.
Everyone was at a loss.
Ye Feixuan guffawed, breaking the silence. "Who asked you to play to the gallery? Your mountaineering token isn't even comparable to the lowest grade, you deserve it …"
The yao youth laughed maniacally. "Who asked you to be in the limelight? You deserve it, hahaha …"
Many people were gloating as well.
After Dongxuan Huihuang recovered from his shock, he smiled indifferently. His eyes were filled with unparalleled pleasure; a sense of superiority from being above Su Fang and stepping on Su Fang beneath his feet arose spontaneously.
Most of the participants felt indignant on behalf of Su Fang.
How was Su Fang's performance in the mortal world worse than Dongxuan Huihuang, Ye Feixuan and the rest?
In the end, his mountaineering token wasn't even comparable to the lowest grade. It was truly unfair.
Su Fang was infuriated, then conflicted and depressed emotions surfaced.
At this moment, Xi Xuan Daozu suddenly asked, "What was the purpose of your actions in the mortal world?"
Su Fang answered, "Other than the mountaineering token, it was also to help those mortals."
"If you knew there would be such an outcome, would you still do it?"
Su Fang answered without hesitation, "Even if I knew there would be such an outcome, I would have done it without hesitation. I wouldn't have given up on those mortals."
"In the human world, those who are heroes don't receive the fair treatment they deserve. This is also the tragedy of the human race. However, a true hero only seeks a smooth Dao heart in everything he does. He doesn't care about how much he receives. Su Fang, you must remember, to remain indifferent to honor or disgrace is the heart of a cultivator! "
"Thank you for your teachings, master. This disciple understands."
Su Fang calmed his breathing. His newly transformed Seven Colors Vajra's Dao heart exuded waves of coolness, calming his state of mind quickly.
Su Fang looked at the Jiuxuan expert who was hosting the finals of Blood Valley and bowed with cupped fists. "Sir!"
"Su Fang, calm down. Don't offend that peerless expert!" Gu Tianchi, Dongxuan Yichen and the rest quickly transmitted their thoughts to Su Fang.
"You're courting death!"
"You're asking for death!"
Dongxuan Huihuang, Ye Feixuan, and the rest looked at Su Fang coldly, eager for Su Fang to anger the expert and kill him.
The peerless expert said indifferently, "What is it?"
Su Fang said, "This one has a request. Please grant it, sir."
"Hmm?"
The Jiuxuan expert's voice was obviously displeased.
An invisible pressure enveloped Su Fang, causing him to tremble and almost suffocate.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The Seven Colors Vajra's Dao heart flashed brilliantly, causing Su Fang's Dao heart and will to become incomparably sturdy, dissolving the expert's pressure.
"Eh …" That expert was surprised. Then, he said, "What is it? Tell me!"
Su Fang gritted his teeth and said, "I beg you, sir, to properly deal with the mortals in the inner space of Blood Valley after the finals of Blood Valley are over."
Su Fang's words surprised everyone.
"The matter you're talking about is not for your ascension token but for those mortals?"
"Yes."
The expert was silent for a moment before he finally nodded and said, "As you wish. When the finals of Blood Valley are over, this one will earnestly request Dongxuan Daozu to move those mortals to a low-level universe and let them live."
Su Fangda was overjoyed. "Thank you, sir!"
Just like that, the hundreds of millions of mortals in Blood Valley's inner space had their destinies completely changed because of Su Fang.
Then, the expert asked curiously, "Why don't you ask why you've received a ascension token of such a level despite your stunning performance?"
Su Fang answered respectfully, "Sir, you naturally have your reasons for making such an arrangement. Perhaps I didn't do well enough to satisfy you. Besides … the results of the finals will depend on one's own ability. The ascension token is an external object after all. It can't decide anything. "
"Indifferent to honor and disgrace … very good!"
The expert's silhouette chuckled, obviously very satisfied with Su Fang's performance.
Suddenly …
The expert's voice rang in Su Fang's mind, "Young man, take a closer look at your ascension token. It's not an ungraded token, it's a supreme one! This one isn't blind. Even this one is impressed by your performance. Why would I give you an ungraded token? As for its use, you'll naturally understand in the finals. It'll be of great use to you. "
Then, he chuckled again. "Besides, so many experts and all of Dongxuan's cultivators are watching. If this one really did that, wouldn't I be scolded to death? Su Fang, you're very good. I hope you can surprise this one again in the finals! "
A supreme token?
Su Fang was shocked and stunned. He grabbed the token above his head and took a look.
Under the gaze of his Perfect Perfection vision, Su Fang discovered the extraordinariness of the token as expected.
Although the token looked ordinary on the surface, upon closer inspection, one could see that the token was densely packed with markings that interweaved into a vast formation that contained endless mysteries.
There were also nine star patterns on the token, very similar to the Killing Star pattern on the blood armor.
In addition, Su Fang could sense that this ordinary-looking token exuded an aura that was comparable to the King's Xuan Bao.
"My ascension token is indeed extraordinary. I just don't know what it's used for …" Su Fang was very unhappy, but he did not show it on his face.
Seeing this, the surrounding contestants felt sorry for Su Fang, some felt it was unfair for him, and some were gloating.
"Contestants, the finals of the Blood Valley have officially begun. You may enter Slaughter Mountain now!"
With the supreme expert's command, more than three thousand contestants immediately tensed up. They pulled themselves together and flew towards Slaughter Mountain.
Buzz!
At the periphery of Slaughter Mountain, they encountered a powerful barrier.
The ascension tokens in the contestants' bodies automatically released a protective divine aura, allowing the contestants to pass through the barrier with ease. They were swept into Slaughter Mountain by a divine aura that distorted space.
Everyone was at the foot of Slaughter Mountain. The true face of Slaughter Mountain was displayed in front of the contestants.
The enormous mountain that was 30km tall caused all the participants to feel tiny. Its imposing aura was majestic and lofty, and it emitted a fierce aura of slaughter that pressured everyone to the point they trembled.
Winding paths led to the top of the mountain. Further up, it was shrouded in blood-colored clouds, obscuring the view above.
Many contestants guessed that the competition of the finals of the Blood Valley was to climb the mountain.
