After the top 50 were decided, Ning Cheng's qualification card lit up again. Above it was the information of Ning Cheng's next match, the 11th match, the opponent was the 29th.
Ning Cheng knew that No. 29's opponent had a slightly higher cultivation compared to the dark-spotted man, and his weapon was a Four Symbols Spirit Fire Flag.
Among all the matches, the strength of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children was significantly higher than the rest of the participants. However, Ning Cheng also saw that not all of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children participated in the matches. At least, he knew that Qu Baiyi and Huo Erqi didn't participate. Ning Cheng didn't know whether Huo Erqi was dead or alive, but Ning Cheng knew that Qu Baiyi was still alive.
Among the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children, except for Ye Luoping, who lost the match, Lu Yixian, Guo Haoge, Ji Pingzhong, Yin Ying, and Kekeluoxi all won. In other words, apart from Qu Baiyi and Huo Erqi, four of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children didn't participate in the Grand Essence Great Meet.
The matches for the top 25 had also taken a long time. From the looks of it, the strength of the participating cultivators had also increased by a level. Many cultivators on the public square watched the fights between the participants on the battle stage with fascination. Ning Cheng, on the other hand, couldn't muster up any excitement. He had always fought against half-step Dao Sculpting powerhouses. The Eternal cultivators who came here to participate were all the best. But compared to half-step Dao Sculpting powerhouses, they still fell short.
In the eleventh match, Ning Cheng took the stage again. His opponent was No. 29, a thin and short male cultivator with only late-stage Eternal cultivation.
After this male cultivator came up, he didn't waste any time and directly brought out the Four Symbols Spirit Fire Flag, which rolled up a large flame. These flames not only formed a few fire elephants but also formed a fire elephant grand array around Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng naturally didn't speak any nonsense. He brought out a long spear and started fighting against the thin male cultivator. Whether it was the array formation or the flames, they posed no threat to Ning Cheng.
On the surface, it looked like the two were fighting desperately, with spear shadows and flames flying everywhere. Only Ning Cheng knew how much effort he put in. What made him feel a little relieved was that the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators on the main stage couldn't penetrate the battle stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do this.
But even so, Ning Cheng suspected that someone had noticed that he wasn't using his full strength. However, Ning Cheng didn't feel worried. He wasn't the only cultivator who didn't use his full strength. People like Aiden and Lu Yixian hadn't used their full strength, so they didn't mind adding him to the mix.
…
Because of the Grand Essence Great Meet, the Heaven Essence Sacred City had turned quite lively. Even some experts who were in closed-door training all year round came here. Naturally, they weren't here to watch the competition, but to take advantage of this opportunity to participate in some item exchanges or auctions.
During each Grand Essence Great Meet, the most lively event wasn't necessarily the great meet itself, but the various trade fairs that accompanied the great meet.
Only Man Huishan of the Barbarian Dragon Clan remained in the Grand Essence Ruins. A month ago, when the Grand Essence Mystic Realm opened, his son, Man Jiuren, died in the Grand Essence Mystic Realm. Therefore, he went to the location of the Grand Essence Mystic Realm's teleportation array. It was just that the cultivators who came out of the mystic realm all had names and backgrounds. Moreover, he couldn't find any traces of killing Man Jiuren from these cultivators.
After a quick investigation, he couldn't find the murderer. He could only return to the Grand Essence Ruins and search for Ning Cheng, who possessed the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow. His son couldn't come back to life after death. Moreover, he didn't have only one son, Man Jiuren. For him now, the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow was more important.
Over the past year or so, he hadn't made no progress. At least he found that Lifeless Poisonhand had once appeared in the Grand Essence Ruins. At this moment, he was trying his best to search for Lifeless Poisonhand. As long as he found Lifeless Poisonhand, he would have news about Ning Cheng's life or death.
On the day of the Grand Essence Great Meet, Man Huishan was drinking tea in a rest stop in the Grand Essence Ruins when a message fell on his communication pearl.
The message said that the top 25 of the Grand Essence Great Meet had come to an end. This message also showed the names of the top 25 of the Grand Essence Great Meet.
Man Huishan glanced at it but didn't see any Barbarian Dragon Clan disciples. Despite feeling disappointed, Man Huishan knew that it wasn't unexpected. The Barbarian Dragon Clan had no successors, so it was normal for no one to rush into the top 25.
But when he was about to put down the communication pearl, he suddenly saw a familiar name, Tier 8 Pill Emperor Ji He.
He knew this Ji He. He was the puny Pill Emperor who had been trapped in the mystic realm for 60,000 years along with Profound Moon Spirit Gate's Qi Shisanxing.
Because of the opening of the mystic realm, only Ji He and Qi Shisanxing had strange identities among the cultivators who came out. He also deliberately observed Ji He and even asked others to inquire about Ji He.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that Ji He wasn't a fake. After all, there were many dangerous places in the Grand Essence Mystic Realm. Man Jiuren might not necessarily have died at the hands of other cultivators. He might have entered a dangerous place but never came out.
He had investigated Ji He and learned that Ji He was just an Alchemy Master. His real strength wasn't very high. Not to mention entering the top 25 of the Grand Essence Great Meet, even a random late-stage Eternal cultivator could defeat Ji He.
But now, he received news that Ji He had entered the top 25 of the Grand Essence Great Meet. Man Huishan's first reaction when he saw the news was that Ji He was a fake. In other words, Ji He might have been someone else in disguise.
One could obtain many opportunities in the Grand Essence Mystic Realm. But to explain such a dramatic increase in one's combat prowess purely as an opportunity, it was a bit strange.
Man Huishan no longer had the mood to drink tea. He directly sent out two messages.
The first message was sent to Silver Light Fort, and the second message asked about Ji He's battle.
Qu Baiyi, one of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children, came from Silver Light Fort. The reason why Man Huishan sent this message was that he asked Qu Baiyi about an extremely powerful unknown powerhouse in the Grand Essence Mystic Realm. This unknown powerhouse didn't seem to have reached the full-circle of the Eternal Realm, but he could easily crush Qu Baiyi and Huo Erqi, two of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children.
It's just that this powerhouse didn't come out of the mystic realm. According to Qu Baiyi, the Human-faced Poison Centipede devoured him. Man Huishan also asked some other cultivators and found that someone had indeed seen a Human-faced Poison Centipede chasing a cultivator. Now that Man Huishan thought about Ji He's disguise, he naturally guessed that the unknown powerhouse had also changed his appearance.
After a while, both messages came back. The unknown powerhouse Qu Baiyi mentioned used a long spear, and the spear patterns were especially powerful. He also received Ji He's battle scene, which also showed a long spear. Although the spear patterns looked ordinary, they both used spear patterns to fight.
Man Huishan didn't know what weapon Ji He used before, but he wasn't in the mood to investigate it. That unknown powerhouse had obtained a lot of divine grasses in the divine grass garden, and Ji He had also won a spot in the Grand Essence Great Meet by displaying his divine grasses. Putting all these together, he felt 80% sure that the unknown powerhouse who suppressed Qu Baiyi was Ji He. Or rather, the person who had changed his appearance to Ji He.
Man Huishan slapped the tea table in front of him into pieces and suddenly stood up. He handed over the task of finding Ning Cheng and Lifeless Poisonhand to his followers in the Grand Essence Ruins while he rushed towards the teleportation array. He wanted to teleport to Heaven Essence Sacred City's public square as soon as possible. He felt some regret in his heart. Why didn't he think of the possibility of a large number of divine grasses appearing in the spiritual medicine garden?
Regardless of whether this person disguised as Ji He was Man Jiuren's murderer or not, he would take this person away. If this person didn't have any ulterior motives, why would he change his appearance to Ji He?
Not to mention that the other party was a rogue cultivator, even if the other party was a true disciple of the Profound Moon Spirit Gate, he would take him down and question him.
… …
Qu Baiyi didn't go to Heaven Essence Sacred City to watch the Grand Essence Great Meet, nor did he participate in it. After escaping from the mystic realm and failing to find the cultivator who robbed him of a large number of divine grasses, he immediately went into seclusion to heal his injuries.
But now, Man Huishan sent a message to the Silver Light Fort, asking about the weapon used by the unknown powerhouse who robbed the medicinal garden in the mystic realm. Qu Baiyi might be one of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children, but he was still far from being able to talk to Man Huishan. The last time, Man Huishan sent someone to the Silver Light Fort to inquire about Man Jiuren's death.
But this time, Man Huishan personally sent a message to the Silver Light Fort, which meant that things weren't that simple.
But before he could figure it out, the people from the Silver Light Fort already understood why Man Huishan asked about it. Silver Light Fort naturally paid close attention to the top 25 cultivators in the Grand Essence Great Meet. Even if Man Huishan didn't ask about it, over time, they would associate Ji He's spear patterns with the unknown powerhouse who fought against Qu Baiyi.
When Qu Baiyi saw Ji He's spear patterns fighting on the battle stage from the crystal ball, he immediately understood why Man Huishan asked about the unknown powerhouse's weapon.
Qu Baiyi hadn't fully recovered from his injuries yet, but he still rushed to the Heaven Essence Sacred City with the elders from the Silver Light Fort.
… …
Ning Cheng didn't expect Man Huishan to have such a monstrous and meticulous mind. Even without being present, he could still see through the top 20 of the Grand Essence Great Meet. Moreover, he didn't expect that his weapon would expose his disguise. There were too many cultivators who used spears, and he wasn't the one who created the spear patterns. Moreover, he wasn't the only one who used spear patterns on the battle stage of the Grand Essence Great Meet.
At this time, Ning Cheng, after a 'hard' fight, 'luckily' defeated his opponent and advanced to the top 25.
Cen Caixuan still stared at Ning Cheng from afar. After Ning Cheng advanced to the top 25, she muttered to herself, "He's not Ji He, definitely not Ji He …."
The green-robed woman next to Cen Caixuan looked at Ning Cheng in disbelief. But when she heard Cen Caixuan's words, she immediately asked in doubt, "Caixuan, what did you just say? Did you say he's not Ji He? "
Hearing the green-robed woman's question, Cen Caixuan immediately reacted and quickly replied, "No, no, I didn't say that."
But before she could finish, she realised that someone had heard her words and quickly whispered to the green-robed woman, "Xincai, keep your voice down. Ji He should be someone else in disguise. I believe I'm not mistaken."
"Ah …." The green-robed woman called Xincai screamed. But immediately realised that something was wrong and quickly stopped speaking.
