The Young Hero Assembly was about to begin!
In the last few days, Ye Xing tried to break through to the Astral Realm. To his surprise, the barrier to the Astral Realm seemed to have loosened!
This meant that as long as Ye Xing persisted in breaking through to the Astral Realm, he would definitely be able to break through. It was just a matter of time.
Unfortunately for Ye Xing, he was still unable to break through the barrier to the Astral Realm until the day of the Young Hero Assembly.
If he was given three more days, Ye Xing was confident that he would be able to break through the barrier to the Astral Realm and become an Enlightened Being.
However, time waits for no man. The Young Hero Assembly would not be delayed for three days because of Ye Xing.
On this day last year, Ye Xing broke through to the Star Vortex Realm and became a Martial Saint. He had just turned seventeen years old!
Due to the awakening of the Black Hole Astrology, the entire Star Continent was shrouded in darkness. The Grand Tutor of the Dayuan Dynasty, Si Kongyan, deduced that this was an extremely bad omen. He proposed to the Supreme King, Meng Tie, to find the Demon Star during the Genius Selection!
The Genius Selection would be held three times.
The first one would be held a year later by the various regions.
The second one would be held two years later by the various continents.
The third one would be held three years later by the Dayuan Dynasty.
Today was exactly one year later. He would be eighteen years old!
On this day, not only the True Xuan Region, but all the regions of the Dayuan Dynasty were holding the Genius Selection.
Ye Xing had gone to bed early last night. He woke up early in the morning and headed to the inner city in high spirits.
The Young Hero Assembly was held by the Nine Sect Alliances at the Nine Heaven Fighting Arena in the inner city of the Nine Heaven City.
The Nine Heaven Fighting Arena occupied an area of ten miles. The fighting arena was two thousand meters in the middle. The arena was surrounded by ring-shaped viewing platforms that could accommodate millions of spectators.
People could freely enter and exit the outer city of the Nine Heaven City by flying. However, except for the martial artists of the Nine Sect Alliances, flying was prohibited in the inner city. Furthermore, one had to pay an entrance fee to enter the city.
The entrance fee was not high. It was only ten low-grade star crystals per person.
There were countless warriors who had entered the inner city to watch the Young Hero Assembly. There were ten city gates in each of the four directions of the inner city, but there was still a long queue of people entering the city.
Today was a special day. Every city gate was guarded by a middle-ranked True Sage. Naturally, there were many people. Naturally, no one went up to collect Inferior Grade Astral Crystals from the crowd. Instead, a large box was placed at the city gate and the cultivators entering the city had to take the initiative to throw in ten Inferior Grade Astral Crystals.
The martialists who entered the city ran all the way to the city gates and threw out ten low-grade Star Crystals. Their speed was very fast. Although there were tens of thousands of people lining up at each city gate, using this method, it didn't take long for everyone to enter the inner city.
There was a mid-level True Master standing guard at the side. It was obvious whether the people who entered the city had thrown in ten low-grade astral crystals or not. If anyone threw in less, they would be caught by the mid-level True Master. The consequences would be dire.
Naturally, no one would take this risk for a mere 10 Low Grade Star Crystals.
Although the entrance fee was not high, there were at least a few million people entering the inner city today. The Nine Sect Alliances had to collect tens of millions of Inferior Grade Astral Crystals just to collect the entrance fee. It was simply an astronomical figure.
Even though the Nine Sect Alliances had taken out many precious treasures to reward the top ten juniors in the Young Hero Assembly, the Young Hero Assembly this time was likely to be a profitable one.
Ye Xing was a junior genius participating in the Young Hero Assembly. There were special passageways in the four directions of the inner city for the junior geniuses participating in the Young Hero Assembly to enter for free.
When they arrived at the Nine Heaven Fighting Arena, the junior geniuses participating in the Young Hero Assembly directly entered the arena. As for the other warriors, they entered the spectator stands and looked for their own seats.
When Ye Xing arrived, there were already hundreds of junior geniuses in the arena. Their cultivation was at least at the Seven Star Martial Saint Realm.
More than 50% of the seats in the surrounding fighting arenas were already occupied by cultivators.
Moreover, the number of junior geniuses and spectators was still increasing. Especially the spectators, there were at least 10 people entering the arena from the four directions at all times.
Soon, the spectator stands in the arena were filled with warriors. Many warriors did not manage to get a seat and could only sit on the steps or stand at the side to watch.
Ye Xing sized up the junior geniuses in the arena. There were already more than a thousand people.
The Qingyun Region was only a remote region in the True Xuan Domain. There were dozens of Seven Star Martial Saints below the age of 25.
There were 27 regions in the True Xuan Domain. Some of the regions ranked at the top had more Seven Star Martial Saints below the age of 25 than the Qingyun Region. Especially the regions where the Nine High Sects were located, the number of Seven Star Martial Saints below the age of 25 would definitely be more than a hundred.
Therefore, the total number of Seven Star Martial Saints was not only more than a thousand people, but also more than a thousand people. It should be around 1,450 people.
When Ye Xing was sizing up the others, he sensed that many warriors were sizing him up as well. Many of them were Astral Realm Perfected Persons.
In the past few days, Ye Xing's name had spread throughout the Nine Heavens City. The Astral Realm Perfected Persons all saw him as a strong opponent.
Ye Xing could also feel that Ye Wenxie and Xue Yan were looking at him with fierce gazes. If he met them in the competition, they would definitely be ruthless.
Ye Xing did not place Xue Yan in his eyes. However, Shi Wenxie gave him a lot of pressure. He was a very strong opponent. Furthermore, in Ye Xing's opinion, there was a high possibility that he would meet Ye Wenxie in the competition. There would definitely be a battle between the two of them.
Other than Shi Wenxie and Xue Yan, there were a few other junior geniuses that also attracted Ye Xing's attention.
One of them was a youth in white with a sword on his back. He was about 20 years old. He did not reveal a strong aura, nor did he reveal his cultivation. Outsiders could not see through him. However, there was an aura around him. It seemed like there was an extremely sharp Qi blade that constantly sliced the air around him.
His white clothes did not have any patterns other than pure white. It could be seen that he was a very pure person. Once this kind of person entered a business, he would definitely achieve amazing results.
Although the youth in white did not reveal his cultivation, Ye Xing could guess that he was the Golden Sword Sect's monstrous sword genius, Mu Shaoyue!
Not far from Mu Shaoyue, there was a youth in black. He looked much older than Mu Shaoyue, about 25 or 26 years old. However, since he was able to participate in the Young Hero Assembly, it meant that he was not yet 25 years old. It was just that he looked a little older!
His face was resolute, as if it was carved by a knife. His clothes were fluttering without any wind. It seemed like his body was constantly emitting a shocking power. Ye Xing guessed that this person should be the Heavenly Dipper Sect's Yang Gang, ranked first on the Earth Profound Ranking.
On Yang Gang's left was a youth in green. He was not as domineering as Yang Gang, but he also had a shocking aura. Looking at him was like looking at an endless sea, or looking at the endless sky.
On Yang Gang's right was a youth in white. This person's white clothes were different from Mu Shaoyue's. There were a few pale skulls embroidered on it, and his skin was also strangely pale.
It could be seen that the one wearing the white skulls was the White Bone Sect's Bai Cang. The youth in green was naturally the Boundless Sect's Meng Zhi.
The only ones who could stand together with Yang Gang were the two powerhouses of the Earth Profound Ranking, Three Star Spiritual Masters!
In addition, there were many other powerful junior geniuses. However, Ye Xing did not pay much attention to them. The only ones that he cared about were Yang Gang, Meng Zhi, Bai Cang, Mu Shaoyue, and Ye Wenxie.
No matter how strong the others were, they could not be stronger than Xue Yan. And Xue Yan was not one of Ye Xing's strong opponents.
In the northern part of the Nine Heavens Fighting Arena, there was a pavilion built in the spectator stands.
When all the junior geniuses in the fighting arena had arrived, an old man in his sixties walked out of the pavilion.
This person walked in the air with a pair of green wings on his back. It was a high-grade flying spiritual weapon.
"Greetings, Master Wu Yu!"
When this person appeared, many people below immediately greeted him respectfully.
Ye Xing was surprised. He looked up and saw that the old man in his sixties was actually a Venerable Master.
Master Wu Yu nodded at the martial artists below. He stood in the air and said, "Let's go.
"Juniors, in this Young Hero Assembly, the Nine Sect Alliances have prepared generous rewards for the top ten junior geniuses. Furthermore, the top ten junior geniuses can represent the True Xuan Region and participate in the Great Competition of the East Divine Continent next year. They can compete with all the junior geniuses of the East Divine Continent …!"
