After leaving the dark world created by the Dark Mother Daozu, Shu Wanzhen took out the Black Lotus Xuan Bao and the two entered the magic treasure's internal space.
The Black Lotus spun and turned into a black Xuan Guang as it sped towards the Culmination God Watchtower.
On the way, Su Fang also learned about the Jiuxuan Heaven's Selection Finals from Shu Wanzhen.
At this time, the first few rounds of competition had already ended and a total of eighty-one people had been decided. In addition to the Daozu's direct disciples and the five Daoists, there were a total of nineteen top geniuses who had entered the top hundred.
The previous competition was extremely fierce, especially the competition to enter the top hundred. The intensity of the competition was no less than the competition for first place in the Divine Realms.
Not to mention the rewards, which cultivator didn't want to be famous in Jiuxuan?
Even if they couldn't enter the top hundred or top ten, as long as they performed dazzlingly in the finals, they would receive the attention of the major forces and have a limitless future.
Just for fame alone, all the cultivators who entered the finals scrambled like ducks.
Moreover, the rewards given by the Jiuxuan's higher-ups for this Heaven's Selection Finals were truly amazing.
For the sake of this year's Nine Profound Heaven Selection finals, the upper echelons of the Nine Profound Sects could be said to have put in a lot of effort. They had collected all sorts of treasures from the Nine Profound Sects and various major forces, and even cultivation techniques and mystical abilities that were not taught to outsiders as rewards.
As for those who weren't willing to take out treasures, they had no choice but to take out a large amount of resources.
How amazing were the treasures gathered from the various forces of the Nine Divine Realms?
Not only were the treasures, resources, cultivation methods and divine abilities, but also the corresponding status and identity.
The most attractive of all were the rewards for the top three.
In addition to having priority in choosing treasures and receiving the highest level of protection from Jiuxuan's heavenly laws, they would also receive the status and treatment of the Daozu's disciples.
What was the Daozu's disciples?
In other words, the top three of this Heaven's Selection Finals would be the disciples of all the Daozu powerhouses of the human race. They could choose any Daozu powerhouse to cultivate.
Hearing this reward, Su Fang was also shocked. He realized that this Jiuxuan's Heaven's Chosen was unusual.
Xi Xuan Daozu's voice sounded in Su Fang's mind. "This Jiuxuan Heaven's Selection is to select the true geniuses of the human race. The top three will be nurtured as future leaders of the human race. This is also a preparation for the invasion of the other races."
"Is the human race really so dangerous?" Xi Xuan Daozu's words caused Su Fang's heart to sink.
"It's much more serious than you think … These things are not something you can think about for now. You have to focus all of your energy and strive to get into the top three."
"Master, wasn't the goal you gave me back then to enter the top 100?"
"That's because I underestimated the speed of your growth. In Jiuxuan, when the Heaven's Selection had just begun, it was already difficult for you to enter the top 1000. Who would have thought that you could grow to such an astonishing level in such a short time?"
"But the difficulty of getting into the top three is too great …"
"If you can enter the top three, you can leave the matter of your two Dao Companions being apprenticed to Master by me. Also, I promise you that when the time comes, I will personally open up a space-time plane for you and place your Heavenly Dao body there. "
Hearing Xi Xuan Daozu's promise, Su Fang was both surprised and delighted. He immediately agreed. "Many thanks, Master. This disciple will do his best!"
In less than ten days, they arrived at the Culmination God Watchtower.
Su Fang and Shu Wanzhen flew out of the Xuan Bao space. Shu Wanzhen put away her black lotus Xuan Bao.
Looking over.
In front of the Culmination God Watchtower was a dense crowd of cultivators. Even if there were not a hundred million, there were at least eighty to ninety million.
With so many cultivators gathered together, the scene was truly spectacular. Su Fang was shocked.
The battle of the top hundred would start in about three months. These cultivators were all waiting to enter the Culmination God Watchtower to watch the battle of the top hundred.
This time, the finals of the Jiuxuan Heaven's Selection Competition would be held in the Culmination God Watchtower. If one wanted to enter and watch it live, they had to have a ticket. If there were no restrictions, the entire Culmination God Watchtower would be completely opened and it would be difficult to accommodate so many cultivators.
The price of each ticket was comparable to a top-grade Xuan Bao. Such a high price still made countless cultivators scramble like ducks. Even a ticket was hard to come by.
Every Deity Realm was given ten million tickets. The Middle Profound Realm had slightly more. It seemed like a lot, but when it was divided among the forces and Profound Worlds, there were only a few tickets left. For some of the smaller Profound Worlds, it was hard to even get a ticket. Even if you had money, you couldn't buy one.
"Let's go over from above!"
There were simply too many people. Su Fang and Shu Wanzhen had no choice but to fly over the crowd towards the entrance of the Culmination God Watchtower.
Flying over the crowd in such an unbridled manner naturally drew resentment and countless curses.
However, when they saw Su Fang and Shu Wanzhen's extraordinary auras, especially Su Fang who was wearing a mask and emanating an icy cold aura, no one dared to make a move against them.
"Halt!"
An enormous Profound Gate had been temporarily created in front of the Culmination God Watchtower for cultivators to enter and exit. Su Fang and Shu Wanzhen had just approached when they were immediately stopped by the cultivators guarding the Profound Gate.
There were over a thousand experts guarding the Profound Gate. Every single one of them possessed extraordinary strength. The weakest was at the Daolord Realm. There were even more formidable experts guarding it from the shadows.
On one side of the Profound Gate, there was a monster that looked like a meatball. It was around 300 meters in size and was round. Its entire body was covered in eyes, making it seem extremely strange.
This monster was called the Thousand Eyed Devil. It actually had far more than a thousand eyes, and every single one of them possessed a different ability. It could see through any disguise or aura.
Arranging such a monster before entering the Profound Gate of the Culmination God Watchtower was obviously a lesson learned from Nan Xuan and Dong Xuan. It was to prevent other races from sneaking into the Culmination God Watchtower and destroying the Jiuxuan's Heaven's Chosen.
The Thousand Eyed Devil glanced at Shu Wanzhen with one eye before ignoring her and moving its gaze towards Su Fang.
That eye of the monster clearly revealed a puzzled expression. Then, a dozen of its eyes opened at the same time and swept their gazes up and down Su Fang's body.
"Hmm? There's something wrong with this person! "
One of the experts guarding the Profound Gate shouted in a low voice.
In an instant, numerous powerful wills descended and enveloped Su Fang. They would suppress him if he resisted in the slightest.
Bang!
The Thousand Eyed Devil opened all its eyes at the same time and focused its gaze on Su Fang.
Suddenly …
The Thousand Eyed Devil trembled violently and curled into a ball. All its eyes were tightly shut, looking terrified.
Su Fang raised his brows, realizing where the problem lay.
To prevent his identity from being exposed, he had sealed the Heaven Piercing Blood King Vine and the Spider King deep within his body and used the Tianji Life Contraction Art to mask his aura. Unless it was a peerless expert from the Destiny Platform who sensed it personally, it would be very difficult to discover him.
Su Fang had forgotten about his Blood Fury avatar.
It was mainly because the Blood Fury avatar contained the heart of the other race's expert, Slayer. In a moment of carelessness, he had failed to mask its aura. He did not expect the Thousand Eyed Devil to discover it.
The other race's expert, Slayer, was a pinnacle expert of the other race who could go head to head with Daozu's experts. Although it had died long ago, there was still some aura left in its heart, scaring the Thousand Eyed Devil.
Shu Wanzhen rolled out her identity token and activated it, releasing rays of Xuan Guang to condense the shadow of the Jiuxuan Divine Realm.
"So it's the Daozu's direct disciple who made an exception to enter the top 100 …" The cultivators guarding the Xuan Gate breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Fang also took out his token, and the will that enveloped him dissipated.
After carefully inspecting the token and confirming that there was no mistake, Shu Wanzhen and Su Fang were allowed to pass through the Xuan Gate together.
"Who are those two geniuses from the Daozu? Why are their auras so cold?"
"Who else could have such an aura other than that person from the Youxuan Divine Realm?"
"Strange, what is hidden in that young man's body that even the Thousand Eyed Devil is so afraid of?"
"Which of those Daozu's direct disciples doesn't have powerful methods? It's not impossible for them to subdue other race experts as slaves. "
"These Daozu's direct disciples all have good lives. They have endless resources and powerful treasures. Even the Jiuxuan's Heaven's Chosen directly entered the top 100."
The cultivators guarding the Xuan Ming Realm and the cultivators watching from afar discussed animatedly. They were very envious of Su Fang and Shu Wanzhen.
Su Fang and Shu Wanzhen were enveloped by the array's power and directly transported to the depths of the Culmination God Watchtower, appearing in an independent space.
The space was extremely vast, enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of people.
In the center of the space floated a huge bubble-like thing. This was the space where the geniuses competed.
Each bubble seemed to be only a hundred feet in size, but the space inside was millions of miles, enough for cultivators to use their divine arts and movement techniques.
On the ground around the bubbles, there were rows of thrones that extended for thousands of miles.
On the east and west sides of the ten bubbles, there were two floating altars. The eastern altar was for the Jiuxuan's higher-ups, and the western altar was for the top 100 geniuses. At this time, more than thirty geniuses were already seated.
Su Fang's divine light swept across these geniuses and saw some familiar figures.
Feng Daocheng of the Sky Beacon Divine Dao, Long Tianci of the Hongtian Divine Realm, Ye Feiku, and the other geniuses of the five divine tribes.
He also saw Sima Xiaoxiao and Dongxuan Huihuang.
However, their auras were a little sluggish, especially Dongxuan Huihuang. His face was pale, and it was obvious that he had yet to recover from his injuries in the previous battle.
Dongxuan Qianyang and Dongxuan Qingyue were also present, but Dongxuan Lie was nowhere to be seen. This surprised Su Fang. Dongxuan Lie was probably unlucky to have encountered an extremely powerful opponent in the battle for the top 100 and been eliminated.
Gu Tianchi, Dongxuan Yichen, and the other Dongxuan geniuses were nowhere to be seen.
As for the geniuses who had broken the rules and entered the top 100, only three of them were present. They sat on the first level of the altars, looking very proud and aloof. The other geniuses were obviously very repulsed by them.
Su Fang and Shu Wanzhen flew to the altars and sat down beside the three geniuses. They immediately attracted many scrutinizing gazes.
Some were curious, some looked at them with disdain or dissatisfaction, and some were filled with hostility.
It was no wonder that those geniuses who had entered the top 100 after several rounds of competition were qualified to sit on the altars.
Su Fang and Shu Wanzhen had entered the top 100 directly because of their status. Naturally, the other geniuses felt that it was unfair and were filled with jealousy and resentment.
