Ji Xuan, who was also shocked, widened his eyes. "Damn! Is it really the Heart Ruler? He actually came all the way here to participate in the All-Ages Martial Meet? Didn't he head to the Blue Dome with Big Brother … Cang? "
Qin Nan's eyes flashed with astonishment.
Was this the Heart Ruler of his youth?
Besides Zhou Di, Cang and the other two, only the Heart Ruler had been able to cause such a huge commotion in the past few decades.
The Heart Ruler's current ranking on the Sky Pole Roll had increased by another step. He was now ranked 49th on the Sky Pole Roll!
What kind of concept was 49th on the Sky Pole Roll?
This meant that the current Heart Ruler could challenge the peak Heavenly Venerates of the Great Upper Realm as a mere peak Ruler!
It was no exaggeration to say that the current Heart Ruler could be considered a Heavenly Venerate.
After all, he was much more dazzling than most Heavenly Venerates!
Back when Old Zhou and Kasyapa had talked about the Heavenly Venerate, they had sounded extremely regretful.
Although the Heart Ruler had been slightly inferior to Zhou Di, Cang and the others, everyone in the Great Upper Realm could see that the Heart Ruler was constantly getting stronger every year. He was constantly catching up to Zhou Di, Cang and the others.
Then, Zhou Di, Cang and the others had become Heavenly Venerates and quickly tied for first place.
At the time, the Heart Ruler had also entered the top five and become one of the most elite people in the Great Upper Realm.
At that time, the Spirit of the Celestial Pole Roll also thought highly of Heavenly Sovereign Xinruo. However, something happened later and Heavenly Sovereign Xinruo was unable to recover from the setback. Her ranking fell out of the top ten and she lost the opportunity to cultivate on the Celestial Pole Roll with Zhou Di, Cang, and the others.
If the Heavenly Venerate had been able to seize that opportunity, the situation in the Great Upper Realm would have definitely changed!
Suddenly, a hearty laugh was heard from the clouds at the end of the Unhindered Path Hall. "Ha ha! You have finally come, Xinruo. If you had come any later, I would have gotten the Sky Pole List to issue an order and forced you to come. "
As soon as that voice was heard, a very benevolent-looking old man in green robes with white eyebrows and black hair stepped through the air. Beside him was a middle-aged man and a beautiful middle-aged woman.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Many Rulers of Dao on the dojo straightened their faces and brought their fists together.
When the other cultivators heard this, they also hurriedly bowed.
"This is the current Hierarch of the Holy Heavenly Martial Sect?"
As Qin Nan bowed, he cast a curious glance at the man.
When the old man had come over, he hadn't sensed any aura from the old man.
"Hehe, Little Brother Lin, judging from your expression, you probably don't know. The sect master of the Sacred Heavenly Martial Sect is called Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao. He is ranked ninth on the Celestial Pole List and is also known as one of the ten great Heavenly Venerates. "
Ji Xuan transmitted his voice.
"Ranked ninth?"
Qin Nan was shocked.
He really did not expect the current Divine Heavenly Sect's Hierarch to be so powerful.
"Little friends, there's no need to be so polite to an old man like me."
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao said with a smile, "I'm already very grateful that you've come all the way here."
Although Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao didn't emit any pressure and his words and manner of speech made people feel very friendly and easy-going, Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao's supreme reputation was there after all. In an instant, the bustling training ground became dead silent. No one replied. Only Xinruo stretched and yawned, "Senior Zi Hao, I'm not trying to criticize you, but even though the Eternal Martial Gathering is stronger than the previous one, I feel like the quality of the participants is worse than the previous one. I don't think many people here are capable of it. I'm really confused.
Why do you and Brother Tian keep asking me to come? "
Many experts and geniuses frowned upon hearing this.
Wasn't this Xinruo Ruler a little too arrogant?
There were so many cultivators here, yet he didn't care about them at all?
However, despite their displeasure, no one dared to refute his words.
After all, Xinruo Ruler's strength, talents, and everything else were obvious.
They were indeed inferior to Xinruo Ruler!
"Uh …"
Qin Nan had a strange expression when he saw this scene.
Before he saw Xinruo Ruler, he more or less had some imagination about Xinruo Ruler.
It was just that he did not expect that the current Xinruo Ruler would be so unruly, arrogant, and despotic. It completely subverted his image in his heart.
"Xinruo, you brat, why haven't you changed this bad habit? This old man, I'm telling you, don't be too full of yourself. Otherwise, you'll be embarrassed when the time comes. "
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao shook his head with a smile.
Xinruo Ruler curled his lips.
If not for Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao's face, he would probably face the entire place and ask everyone.
Who dared to compete with him?
"Alright, I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. Then this old man, I, will announce the official start of this Eternal Martial Gathering. Elder Zuo will introduce the specific rules to everyone. "
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao said.
"Fellow Daoists, I'll make it short. This Eternal Martial Gathering is divided into five rounds!"
Elder Zuo took a step forward and spoke in a clear voice. Just his first sentence stunned many people present.
"Eh? Why are there five rounds now? Hasn't there always been four rounds? "
Ji Xuan asked curiously. "I'm sure everyone has noticed that there's an extra round compared to the past. Then, are there any differences in the rewards for this Eternal Martial Gathering? The difference is not very big. As everyone knows, the first place can enter the Duanshi Lake, read the entire Heaven and Earth Martial Palace, and borrow the help of the sect's three supreme treasures.
。 The second place … "
Elder Zuo said tirelessly. Then, he changed the topic and said, "The only difference is in the first and third rounds."
"The first round is called Shattering the Void and Entering Dao to See All Beings. After each of you participates in the assessment, the specific assessment you will face will be different, but the difficulty will be the same. "
"The first test is divided into two levels. It's called 'pass' and 'pass'. Cultivators who pass will not need to participate in the second round and will directly enter the third round. "
"In addition to that, you will also receive a fortunate encounter that the Sacred Martial Sect has specially prepared."
"As for how to know if you've passed or passed again, the mark that condenses on your chest will naturally tell you when you're done with the test."
"Besides, as for the third round, I don't mind telling everyone in advance. The third round is also divided into two levels called Rise and Fall. Those who reach the Rise level will directly enter the fifth round. As for the fortunate encounter, there's no such thing. "
As soon as the words were spoken, countless voices could be heard on the dojo.
Chapter 2398 - Rise and Fall
Eternal Martial Gathering (2)
"Mm, not bad, not bad. In this case, we don't have to go through the rounds one by one, and we can even receive a fortunate encounter."
Ji Xuan was satisfied. It seemed like it was too easy for him to pass and rise again.
"Ordinary people will always be ordinary. Isn't it just high and low? What's the difference between passing and passing? Rise and Fall, how ridiculous …"
Gu Fei criticized the Sacred Martial Sect mercilessly.
"Fellow cultivators, I'm sure you all understand? If that's the case, let's begin the first round, the Shattering the Void to enter the Dao and see all living beings! "
Daoist Zuo retreated after finishing his sentence.
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao raised his hand and flicked his finger forward.
BANG!
Suddenly, countless rays of light appeared above the enormous Crisscrossing Dojo.
A strong wind blew the corners of everyone's clothes and hair.
Not long after, it was as if the sky had cracked open. A round, faint-yellow boulder over a few thousand zhang tall and a few hundred zhang wide slowly appeared. A mystical aura surged across the cultivators.
"Open!"
Empyrean Zi Hao gave a light shout, and the yellow stone tablet suddenly erupted with thousands of rays of light, striking every cultivator with lightning speed.
"Young friends, I hope you can get a good ranking."
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao chuckled.
At that instant, Qin Nan could only feel the light that landed on him rapidly forming the mark of a dragon. It even unleashed a formidable force, causing the scenery around him to turn illusionary. All the sounds gradually became softer.
"Little Brother Lin, Senior Ming Chu, Little Brat Gu Fei, remember to hurry up. I'll be waiting for you guys over there."
Ji Xuan transmitted his voice. His tone was pleasant and confident.
Qin Nan shook his head and allowed the formidable force to wrap around him.
A hundred breaths later, Qin Nan felt his figure shuddering as he arrived at another place.
Currently, he was in a mountain valley. There were cliffs in all directions, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants grew there. Not far away, there was a small lake with a circumference of a few hundred feet.
The sky above was a sea of blue.
"Shattering the Void to enter the Dao and see all living beings?"
"What exactly is the first round of the trial?"
Qin Nan pondered as he prepared to fly out of the valley to take a look at his surroundings.
At that instant, Qin Nan suddenly sensed something. He unleashed the power of rules to protect himself.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
A series of deafening roars exploded in the valley. Following it, several beasts dove down from the cliffs and tore at Qin Nan with their bloody mouths wide open.
These beasts were not huge in size, only around three zhang tall.
Their auras were at the Greater Success Stage of the Ruler Realm. They were fairly quick too. In less than a breath's time, they had arrived in front of Qin Nan.
"Immortal …"
Qin Nan instinctively prepared to execute the Art of the Immortal Demon to fight the beasts. However, as he was about to throw his fist forward, he suddenly sensed that the ten beasts that had arrived in front of him were executing different moves. Some were swinging their claws, some were opening their bloody mouths, and some were unleashing their eyes. However, there was a connection between them.
There was a strange, mystical intent between them.
It felt like they were somehow related to one another.
Qin Nan's eyes flickered. He decisively withdrew his fist intent.
He continued to execute the Art of the Immortal Demon. However, he only unleashed his demonic intent and summoned the Realm of the Immortal Demon to protect himself.
BANG BANG BANG!
A series of explosions took place.
Qin Nan managed to resist the attacks of the ten beasts with brute force.
Although these Demonic Beasts were very fast, the destructive power they could unleash was much weaker.
Meanwhile, more beasts had entered the valley. A total of twenty-one beasts attacked Qin Nan again.
Qin Nan completely ignored it. He continued to observe the attacks calmly with his Eye of Illusionary Insight, as if he was just an observer.
"As I thought!"
Qin Nan's heart shuddered.
The attacks of the twenty-one beasts were similar to the attacks of the ten beasts. They were all emitting a mystical intent. It felt like they were somehow related to one another.
"The third formation pattern!"
Qin Nan did not hesitate. He executed several Arts of Dao Seeking in his body. His aura skyrocketed.
With him as the center, countless runes spread out and circulated in a mystical manner.
Qin Nan closed his eyes. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed. He was not bothered by the murderous intent around him.
BANG BANG BANG!
More and more demonic beasts attacked, and the sound of explosions was like a series of thunderbolts.
However, Qin Nan remained as still as a mountain. He was not affected by the attacks at all.
Furthermore, even though the beasts seemed to be moving faster, in Qin Nan's eyes, they were gradually slowing down.
Time passed by slowly.
Qin Nan calmed his breathing. He calmed his thoughts.
The attacks turned into runes in Qin Nan's eyes. They were absorbed into his body.
Gradually, the number of runes increased. They eventually turned into a river of runes, an ocean of runes.
In the end, Qin Nan sensed something. He disrupted the ocean of runes. Under his will, the runes began to dance and merge with one another in a new way. It was like putting a broken teacup back together, restoring its original appearance.
Some time later, Qin Nan's eyes sprang open as his heart shuddered.
"This is it."
Qin Nan summoned an immortal saber with his will. He swung it around.
The saber flickered with sparks and lightning at times.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Saber intents spread in all directions with strong, icy glows.
In the final moment, a strong saber intent burst out of the immortal saber.
This move was not a Heavenly Venerate Technique, so it was not very frightening. However, when the saber aura swept out, it displayed a great divine might, causing the endless number of demonic beasts to shatter like dust.
Two breaths later, the place fell silent once again.
"Such an ingenious way to test me!"
Qin Nan was in high spirits. He was in a good mood.
"Shatter the void, enter the Dao, and see the living beings."
