After refining Dugu Weiwei's blood essence and the Demonic Seed of Creation, even Chu Xiu himself didn't know what level his strength had risen to. Perhaps he could already stand shoulder to shoulder with a First Heaven Martial Immortal?
However, if Chu Xiu really wanted to find a First Heaven Martial Immortal to train, he really didn't have the chance.
The first level of Martial Immortal was the first level of familiarizing themselves with their power. Thus, after making a breakthrough to the first level of Martial Immortal, all Martial Immortals would continue to train in their sects or in a safe place. After familiarizing themselves with their power, they would naturally step into the second level of Martial Immortal.
So, the weakest Martial Immortals that appeared in the pugilistic world were at least at the Second Heaven.
Actually, with Chu Xiu's current strength, he could totally try to break through to the Martial Immortal realm.
However, cultivating in seclusion would take too long. One year, two years, or ten years? He was confident he could reach the Martial Immortal realm, but he wasn't confident he could reach this realm in a short period of time.
So, Chu Xiu was still prepared to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that would bring him closer to the 'heavens'. Then, he would break through in one go, tread on the heavens, and become a Martial Immortal.
After making up his mind, Chu Xiu didn't continue cultivating in seclusion. Instead, he prepared to go out and see if there were any recent news from the eastern and southern regions.
However, just as he came out of seclusion, Mei Qinglian came over and said, "The Imperial Sky Pavilion's headquarters sent a letter. Zhong Qiushui wants you to quickly make a trip after you come out. They seem to have urgent matters for you."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the southern region had begun to attack the eastern region? However, if they were to attack, they would start from the Southern Barbaric Land. Why didn't I receive any news?
Chu Xiu didn't think too much and headed straight for the Imperial Sky Pavilion's headquarters.
In the Imperial Sky Pavilion's headquarters, Zhong Qiushui called Lu Sanjin over, and the three of them sat opposite each other.
Zhong Qiushui went straight to the point, "The reason I called you here is very simple. The Three Pristine Temple's Daoist, the Heavenly Luo Temple's Lord Buddha, the World's Sword Sect's Sword Venerable Luo Shan, and other top Daluotian experts sent a message. The Daluotian Divine Palace is preparing to open."
Hearing this, Lu Sanjin's face immediately turned solemn.
Chu Xiu was also solemn. "What does the opening of the Exalted Divine Palace mean?"
Lu Sanjin looked at Chu Xiu helplessly. You don't know? Why do you look so serious?
"I almost forgot, you're Primeval's successor. Primeval's successors have always been reluctant to participate in the struggle for the Exalted Divine Palace, so it's normal that your master didn't tell you about this. It's a long story. You should know what kind of place the Exalted Divine Palace is, right? "
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Of course I do. The Exalted Divine Palace is a palace that was left behind after we came to Exalted Heaven from the ancestral grounds. It's a palace that's used to suppress the passageway. It doesn't belong to any sect, and it's guarded by all the sects in Exalted Heaven."
Zhong Qiushui nodded. "That's right. Because the Exalted Divine Palace is used to guard the passage between the two worlds, it's very powerful. When the Exalted Divine Palace was built in the past, almost all the major sects took out their trump cards. In addition, the power of rules between the two worlds is distorted and stagnant, so as long as one can enter the Exalted Divine Palace to cultivate, the benefits are simply unimaginable."
Zhong Qiushui said solemnly, "For the past ten thousand years, as long as one is at the peak of the Heaven and Earth Elucidation realm, one will definitely become a Martial Immortal if they enter the Exalted Divine Palace to cultivate!"
Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Zhong Qiushui continued, "However, the Exalted Divine Palace's main purpose is to guard the passage between the two worlds, not for Daluotian cultivators to cultivate. It'll only open once it's filled with power, so the time isn't fixed. It might open every seventy or eighty years, or it might drag on for a hundred years.
For some reason, it's opened again less than fifty years after the last time it opened.
As long as you pass the test, you and Lu Sanjin will be able to enter the Imperial Sky Pavilion and compete for it. You and Lu Sanjin will definitely have to go to the Imperial Sky Pavilion, so I want to tell you about the rules and … the dangers! "
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. "Is the competition for the Exalted Divine Palace very dangerous?"
"Quite so!"
Zhong Qiushui exhaled deeply. "The number of people who can enter the Exalted Divine Palace to cultivate is different each time. This time, there are six slots, which is quite a lot.
But do you know how many people will need to enter and compete? Large and small sects, wandering cultivators, and a few Primeval heirs add up to a thousand people.
Even the weakest among them is at least at the Truefire Spirit-Refinement realm. After each competition, it's already good enough if half of them survive. For the chance to become a martial immortal, this is no longer a competition. Strictly speaking, it's a slaughter! "
Zhong Qiushui seemed to recall some unpleasant memories and shook his head. "Now, I'll tell you the rules.
The area around the Exalted Divine Palace is very large and is located in the center of the Daluotian world. That place is called the Central Province, and your competition will take place in the Central Province.
When the time comes, someone will give you a medallion, one for each person. There are no restrictions, and anyone can snatch another's medallion. A month later, you'll gather in front of the Exalted Divine Palace, and the six who obtain the most medallions will be able to enter the palace to cultivate. "
Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow. This was a method of breeding poisonous insects. The Daluotian people were truly ruthless.
Zhong Qiushui continued, "Of course, apart from fighting each other for the medallions, there's another way for you to stand out. That is to kill monsters and obtain soul crystals. Half a kilogram of soul crystals is equivalent to one medallion."
At this point, Zhong Qiushui's expression turned solemn. "You must remember what I'm telling you now. When fighting in the Central Province, the most dangerous aren't just humans, but also monsters and ghosts.
Perhaps none of you have heard of monsters and ghosts. These so-called monsters and ghosts are actually something that shouldn't exist in this world and only exist in the Central Province.
When we came to the Daluotian from our ancestral lands, we crossed two worlds.
Those of us from the major sects naturally had the means to resist the spatial storms while crossing the two worlds.
However, there were also some people who came from subsidiary sects or were servants of subordinate sects. They also crossed space with them.
Their defenses weren't as tight, so many people died along the way.
Normally speaking, when a person died, their soul would disperse unless they had some special secret method to preserve their true spirit and nascent spirit. Only then would they be able to survive.
But monsters and ghosts were different. They were like humans but not humans, like monsters but not monsters, like ghosts but not ghosts.
When they died in the passage between the two worlds, the time, space, and even the laws of that place were distorted, causing these people who should have been dead to become monsters and ghosts instead.
In the beginning, the major sects hadn't paid much attention, but when ninety percent of the people died in the Exalted Divine Palace competition, they realized just how terrifying monsters and ghosts were.
Moreover, the laws of the Central Province were distorted, so there were bound to be casualties when participating in the competition for the Exalted Divine Palace. Those who died would turn into monsters after a period of time, causing the number of monsters and ghosts to increase. Moreover, as time passed, the monsters would grow stronger and stronger. They had now become a great scourge in the Central Province, but because of the formation's obstruction, no monsters and ghosts could escape.
Every time the Exalted Divine Palace competition takes place, it's actually to reduce the number of monsters and take their soul crystals as one's own achievement.
Throughout history, there were some people who were unwilling to kill their companions, so they killed monsters and qualified to enter the Exalted Divine Palace with soul crystals alone. "
"What kind of existence are those monsters? Are they very difficult to deal with? "Chu Xiu asked.
Zhong Qiushui scratched his head and thought for a moment. "It's a little hard to say. They're between nascent spirit and physical body, and they can switch back and forth between the two. Most importantly, they rely on the distorted laws of the Central Province to live and can construct all kinds of illusions at any time. To be more precise, they aren't illusions, but existences that are both real and fake. You must find their true bodies in order to kill them.
Moreover, the methods of monsters and ghosts can be said to be strange. They can even silently seep into the depths of your heart and kill without a sound.
Don't think that those things are easy to deal with. The effort needed to kill a monster ghost is no less difficult than stealing a token from a cultivator of the same level.
Therefore, you must remember one thing. Once you enter the territory of the Central Province, don't believe your eyes or your spiritual perception. "
Lu Sanjin couldn't help but ask, "What else can you believe? Wouldn't that make you blind? "
Zhong Qiushui pointed at her chest and said, "Believe in your own heart. What you see in your eyes could be fake. What your spiritual sense sensed could also be an illusion. Only your own heart can determine what is real and what is fake."
Lu Sanjin nodded, but he still didn't understand.
Of course, it didn't matter whether he understood or not. Lu Sanjin's main purpose in entering was to gain experience, and he was very clear about his own strength.
There were only six spots in total, and no matter how they rotated, it wouldn't be his turn.
Chu Xiu suddenly asked, "Pavilion Master, did you also enter in the past? What was your ranking? "
Zhong Qiushui's expression suddenly turned very ugly. He snorted coldly. "The last time I went in, the Exalted Divine Palace opened early. At the time, I had only just entered the Ethereal Opening realm, so how could I have any ranking?"
Although Zhong Qiushui didn't say it in detail, Chu Xiu could sense that he must have been beaten up by someone in the Daluo Divine Palace. Otherwise, his expression wouldn't be like that.
Zhong Qiushui waved his hand. "That's enough, that's not important. Oh, that's right, after entering, aside from the monster ghosts, you can also face Martial Immortal experts."
Lu Sanjin was shocked. "They're already Martial Immortals, and they can still enter? That's not fair. "
Zhong Qiushui said, "In theory, it's naturally impossible.
However, there are some people who forcibly suppress their cultivation before they have the ability to become Martial Immortals, not allowing themselves to make a breakthrough. They wait until they enter the territory of the Central Province before making a breakthrough, all so that they can occupy an advantage in terms of cultivation.
There are such people every time. If they enter the Daluo Divine Palace as Martial Immortals to cultivate, their strength will directly cross the first and second layers to the third layer, which can save a lot of time. "
