Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
All the prodigies participating in the Regional Competition received the news and gathered outside the Heavenly Cloud City Governor's Mansion.
There was a huge open space outside the Governor's Mansion that could accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
Silhouettes came from all directions.
Heavenly Cloud Prefecture's local prodigies!
Mountain Flow Prefecture's prodigies!
Horizontal River Prefecture's prodigies!
Copper Mountain Prefecture's prodigies!
Chen Zong realized that there were as many as 90 local prodigies participating in the Regional Competition. Mountain Flow Prefecture, Horizontal River Prefecture, and Copper Mountain Prefecture each had 30 participants, so there were a total of 90 participants.
Just nice, 180 participants.
Four camps!
Each camp was filled with prodigies and extraordinary prodigies. Every one of them emitted a shocking aura that seemed to shoot up into the sky and towards the other camps.
The difference was obvious!
The Heavenly Cloud Prefecture had the most local prodigies, and their strength was terrifying. Therefore, they had the upper hand and were able to resist the aura of the three prefectures' prodigies. They even had the potential to crush them.
Terrifying!
It was terrifying.
However, the prodigies of the three prefectures were even more motivated.
The local prodigies of the Heavenly Cloud Prefecture were all extremely arrogant. They looked at the prodigies of the three prefectures as if they were rich people in the city looking at the poor people in the countryside.
Indeed, there was a huge gap between the three prefectures and the Heavenly Cloud Prefecture.
The difference in foundation!
The difference in inheritance!
The difference in environment!
The difference in strength!
The obvious difference would naturally breed a sense of superiority.
There were many onlookers outside, including the prodigies of the Mystic Underworld Territory and the eliminated prodigies.
The prodigies of the four camps fought against each other with their auras, secretly competing with each other.
"Zhao Xingkong, I heard that 11 of your spots were taken by someone from the Mystic Underworld Territory," said a prodigy of the Horizontal River Prefecture with a smile. He seemed to be chatting casually, but there was a hidden meaning behind his words.
Especially when he didn't look for Feng Yanyan, but Zhao Xingkong. His motive was even more obvious.
Sowing discord!
Zhao Xingkong's expression changed as a cold glint flashed across his eyes. It was as sharp as a sword. Soon after, he sneered and looked at the Heng Jiang Mansion's sky-pride who was trying to stir up trouble. "The sky-prides from the Mysterious Underworld Territory are capable enough to obtain eleven slots. If you're not convinced, you can come and try."
It had to be said that Zhao Xingkong wasn't a brainless person. He wouldn't lose his mind just because the other party provoked him. If he really did that, it would only make people look down on Zhao Xingkong. It would also make the people of Mountain Flow Mansion think that he didn't care about the big picture and was useless.
However, not only did Zhao Xingkong not lose his temper, but he also secretly sowed discord between the Heaven Prodigies of the Mystic Underworld Realm and the Heaven Prodigies of the Mystic Underworld Realm.
He had to admit that Zhao Xingkong was quite smart.
People with strength and brains could often live longer, better, and go further.
Of course, the eleven people from the Mystic Underworld Region were not happy about it. They had been used as pawns. Very well, let's wait and see.
An invisible confrontation gradually unfolded. A tense, murderous, and cold aura spread rapidly.
Suddenly, the world rumbled. It was as if there was a gust of wind whistling from high up in the sky. The sky was vast and mighty as it came from the horizon. It was like the mighty torrent of the sea.
An extremely shocking and vigorous aura accompanied by vast and mighty vital energy rumbled through the heavens and the earth, and the extremely profound principles of all things and the profundities of the heavens and the earth interweaved together. Faintly, divine radiance suffused the sky like clouds that covered the sky and blotted out the sun.
At this moment, everyone was shrouded by the mighty aura and the primordial divine light. They were in awe from the bottom of their hearts and souls.
There seemed to be heavenly music lingering in the sky.
"Half-step Great Saint!"
The Mastery Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses were excited and in awe.
Half-step Great Saint!
This was a super powerhouse. A super powerhouse who was above countless Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses.
There was actually a Half-step Great Saint powerhouse in the Heavenly Cloud Prefecture. It was terrifying.
However, when they thought about it, there was a real Great Saint Stage powerhouse in the Profound Yuan Dynasty. It was not unacceptable that there was a Half-step Great Saint Stage powerhouse in the Heavenly Cloud Prefecture.
Chen Zong and the others did not know what kind of powerhouse this was. They only knew that the aura was moving heaven and earth. It was as if it could change the sun and the moon. It gave people a feeling of supremacy that surpassed the Saint Rudiment Stage.
Then, a figure with a tyrannical aura flew over from the front. His aura connected the sky and the earth. It was vast and magnificent.
"The Regional Tournament will be held in the Cloud Wilderness Swamp." A vast and indistinct voice sounded. It was as vast and mighty as the heavenly music. It rolled out and spread in all directions. There was also an ancient feeling that rushed straight into everyone's heart and soul. It was released by the powerhouse at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Stage.
It seemed like he was not far from breaking through to the peak of the Saint Rudiment Stage.
"The Cloud Wilderness Swamp!" Suddenly, many people's faces changed drastically.
Obviously, the Cloud Wilderness Swamp was not a good place. On the contrary, it was quite a dangerous place.
"The Regional Tournament will be held in the periphery of the Cloud Wilderness Swamp. It's already marked. Remember, don't go past the mark. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to save you if you encounter danger," the grand voice sounded again.
"The Regional Tournament is to hunt the Monster Beasts in the periphery of the Cloud Wilderness Swamp and obtain their Beast Cores."
Most of the monsters in the periphery of the Cloud Wilderness Swamp were mid-rank Monster Beasts, which were equivalent to the Transcendent Stage. In addition, there were pseudo-high-rank Monster Beasts, which were equivalent to the Half-step Saint Stage.
Only by hunting the pseudo-high-rank Monster Beasts and obtaining their Beast Cores could the score be calculated.
Pseudo-High-Rank Monster Beasts could be divided into three levels, low-rank, mid-rank, and high-rank. They corresponded to low-rank, mid-rank, and high-rank Half-step Saint Stage.
A low-rank pseudo-high-rank Beast Core was counted as one point. A mid-rank pseudo-high-rank Beast Core was counted as two points. A high-rank pseudo-high-rank Beast Core was counted as five points. A top-rank pseudo-high-rank Beast Core was counted as ten points.
In the end, everyone would be ranked according to the number of points they had accumulated.
Only 30 points!
In other words, among the 180 people, 150 people would be eliminated. The remaining 30 people would be qualified to enter the Dao Competition.
30 people!
Chen Zong's face was solemn.
Just the 30 people on the Prodigy's List were all extremely powerful and terrifying. Their strength was far superior to the others.
It would be extremely difficult to compete with these 30 people for a spot.
Fortunately, they did not have to fight with them directly. Instead, they had to hunt the Monster Beasts and obtain their Beast Cores. There was still a possibility of getting a spot.
However, the rules also mentioned that they could snatch other people's Beast Cores. However, they were not allowed to kill.
This made the hearts of countless people tighten.
If they obtained a lot of Beast Cores but were snatched by stronger people, they would get nothing.
Shortly after, everyone's Storage Rings were sealed by a mysterious force, and they were unable to store or take out anything. Moreover, everyone obtained a brand new Storage Ring with nothing inside, which was used to store Beast Cores.
Then, everyone received a white token that looked like a cloud. It contained a trace of mysterious power.
If they encountered a life or death crisis or some special situation, they could activate the power of the token. At that time, the token would release a protective force to protect them. It could completely withstand the full force attack of a Third Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage cultivator and allow a powerhouse to come to their rescue.
However, this also meant that they would be automatically eliminated from the Regional Competition.
"Do you have any other questions?" After the powerhouse finished explaining the rules, his gaze swept across the crowd as if he could see through them. His voice rang out at the same time and entered everyone's ears.
"If we kill a high-rank Monster Beast, how do we calculate the points?" A local prodigy from the Heavenly Cloud Prefecture asked. His voice carried a trace of indescribable passion and dominance. It was as if he could burn everything into ashes if he released it.
As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.
High-rank Monster Beast!
That was equivalent to a Saint Rudiment Stage cultivator. There was no difference between killing a high-rank Monster Beast and killing a Saint Rudiment Stage cultivator.
It was almost impossible for a Half-Saint to kill a Saint Rudiment Stage cultivator. Of course, there had been cases. For example, the Heavenly Sun King Yang Quan, the Black Fire King Hei Yan Ze, and the Heavenly Sword King Ye Chen Dao had outstanding achievements in killing Saints.
The person who asked the question was clad in black armor. There seemed to be a faint black flame burning on his armor. He exuded an incomparably deep and ancient aura.
The Black Fire King Hei Yan Ze!
He was qualified to ask.
"High-rank Monster Beasts may appear in the periphery of the Cloud Wilderness Great Swamp. If you kill a Class 1 high-rank Monster Beast, its Beast Core will be calculated as a thousand points. For every Class 1 high-rank Monster Beast, the points will increase tenfold," the powerhouse said immediately.
Of course, that was impossible.
For example, the three King Stage prodigies could kill Class 1 high-rank Monster Beasts, but they definitely could not kill Class 2 high-rank Monster Beasts. After all, the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 was huge.
"No questions. Let's set off immediately."
Immediately, a huge white cloud drifted over. Suddenly, it produced a force that sucked the 180 prodigies onto the white cloud. They floated up and flew away quickly.
"Let's go!" The powerhouses of the Xuanming Territory immediately took the prodigies and set off on the Xuanming Ship.
The Cloud Wilderness Great Swamp was located in the northern part of the Tianyun State. It was a huge piece of land that stretched for millions of miles. The deeper one went, the more dangerous it was. There were countless high-rank Monster Beasts running amok. There were even pseudo Super Rank Monster Beasts, which were equivalent to a Half-Great Saint.
As for whether there were Super Rank Monster Beasts, it was not clear.
However, the State Competition was set at the periphery of the Cloud Wilderness Great Swamp. Many preparations had been made so that there were almost no high-rank Monster Beasts in the periphery. Even if there were, there were very few of them. Moreover, they were only Class 1 high-rank Monster Beasts.
Of course, they were left behind on purpose.
In addition, there were many powerhouses watching from the sky to protect the prodigies. If anyone was in danger of dying, they would help.
After all, every prodigy had advanced from the State Competition. They were all very strong and had a bright future ahead of them. It would be a pity if they died in the State Competition.
The huge white cloud flew quickly. In a short time, it had left the Heavenly Cloud City and was approaching the Cloud Wilderness Great Swamp.
Soon, the Cloud Wilderness Great Swamp was in front of them.
It seemed to be boundless. There were countless mountains and forests, and there was no end in sight.
At a glance, Chen Zong felt an indescribable boundless and vigorous aura rushing towards him.
"We have arrived at the Cloud Wilderness Great Swamp. Get ready to go down. Remember, the State Competition will last for five days. It will end on time after five days and the results will be calculated." The powerhouse said.
The white cloud was about a thousand meters above the ground. At this height, those who were not strong enough would be smashed into meat paste if they fell.
However, the prodigies were not weak. Although it was a thousand meters high, they all had their own means. They were safe and sound after falling down.
