It was at this time that Long Eyebrows came up with an idea. He wanted Gu Zheng to represent Wangu Peak and participate in the battle royale for disciples under 30.
However, Gu Zheng was a Jin Xian after all. It would be humiliating for him to participate in such a low-level battle royale. Therefore, Long Eyebrows emphasized that it was his idea to force Gu Zheng to participate in the battle. He wanted to take all the blame.
"All disciples who want to participate in the battle, get ready to go through Xuan Jing Sect!"
The disciple in charge of hosting the battle began to shout, which meant that the battle royale had begun. Xuan Jing Sect was the gate to the illusory land. After passing through Xuan Jing Sect, one's physical body would automatically return to its original position and one's consciousness would remain in the illusory battlefield inside Xuan Jing Sect.
There weren't many disciples under the age of 30, but there weren't many either.
Most of them were in the Celestial Immortal Realm and a considerable number of them were in the Qi Transformation Realm. A few of them were in the Divine Transformation Realm. Only a few of them could reach the Void Return Realm and they were all geniuses from the top ten peaks.
In this Ranking Competition, there were only three disciples who were in the Void Return Realm under 30. They were from the first, third, and fourth peaks. There were no disciples from the second peak. Even the three of them were cultivated by the three peaks.
The three of them were not disciples who cultivated outside. They were the disciples of the peaks themselves. They were the descendants of Jin Xian. They had been cultivated from a young age and reached the Void Return Realm before the age of 30.
Basically, the peaks at the top of the rankings did this. The top thirty years of each competition were the time to focus on their descendants. Even so, only three peaks had cultivated disciples in the Void Return Realm this time.
This was tacitly approved by the main peak. From this, one could see the ability of each peak to cultivate top geniuses. Mount Shu was very big and there were enough ordinary disciples. They needed more geniuses so that there would be more Daluo Jinxian and even Sages-to-be in the future.
Perhaps Mount Shu would also have a Sage in the future.
The top ten peaks would not ally with others. They would ally with others to help others, and very few people would be able to help them. On the other hand, the top thirty peaks would ally with others. Only by doing so would they be able to better resist others.
The disciples of the various peaks began to walk out. There were 30 Xuan Jing Sects erected in the entire area. The disciples could choose to enter the Xuan Jing Sect that was closest to them. Basically, the disciples of 100 peaks would share one Xuan Jing Sect among the 3,000 peaks.
Two people stood up from Wan Gufeng's side. Originally, Wan Gufeng had eleven people who could participate in this competition. Unfortunately, the rest had been lost in this Demon Subduing Operation, leaving only two people.
The two of them stood up but didn't leave. Changmei hadn't allowed them to leave yet.
Long Eyebrows nodded at Gu Zheng when most of the other disciples had entered the Mysterious Jing Sect. Gu Zheng stood up and waved at the two disciples. Then, they walked out together.
"Senior Brother, what is Junior Brother Gu going to do?"
Wu Chengfeng was a little stunned and couldn't help but ask. Everyone else had a blank look on their faces, but Sora Aoi seemed to be deep in thought.
Chang Mei smiled and said softly, "Junior Brother Gu, your nominal age is 28 this year!"
"Twenty-eight, and this …"
Wu Chengfeng was just about to ask what 28 had to do with this when he suddenly froze. How could 28 have nothing to do with this? If Gu Zheng's nominal age was only 28, then he was under the age of 30 and could participate in the Battle Royale Competition.
"But, but, Junior Brother Gu is Jin Xian!"
Tianmingzi stuttered. Chang Mei had even concealed this from them. Other than Gu Zheng and himself, no one knew that Gu Zheng was going to participate in this Battle Royale Competition.
"What's wrong with Jin Xian? Is there a rule in the sect that states that Jin Xian can't participate?"
Chang Mei asked with a smile. Tianmingzi and the others were stunned. The sect rules only stated that those under the age of 30 couldn't participate. It seemed that there was no rule about the realm.
This competition was originally held to allow the peaks to cultivate talented disciples and attach importance to young disciples. Not to mention Jin Xian, any peak that could cultivate a Daluo Jinxian was allowed to participate. However, it was impossible for a Daluo Jinxian who was 30 years old.
"Why did he go over?"
"Perhaps he was curious and wanted to go over to have a look!"
"It's a pity for Wan Gufeng this time. We even formed an alliance with them previously. I didn't expect such a thing to happen!"
"Wan Gufeng is unlucky, but we can't be unlucky with them. After this, I don't know where Wan Gufeng will fall to!"
People from the nearby peaks were discussing. Many of them already knew Gu Zheng. Now, Gu Zheng was also a famous person in Shushan. After all, he was the one who triggered the Ten Thousand Swords Choose their Master. Previously, many Jin Xian had paid a visit to Gu Zheng in order to get to know him.
Now that they saw him going out, many people smiled and shook their heads. This aroused their sympathy for Wan Gufeng.
Gu Zheng ignored these people and walked directly to the Gate of Xuan Jing with his two disciples. The Gate of Xuan Jing was like an ordinary big mirror. However, it was so big that three or four people could walk through it at the same time. The mirror was illusory. After walking through it, one's consciousness would enter the battlefield and the body would automatically return to its original position.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the two disciples looking at him doubtfully, Gu Zheng smiled and pulled them into the Gate of Xuan Jing.
As soon as the three of them walked through it, their consciousness reappeared in the battlefield. This battlefield was very big and spacious. There were about four to five thousand disciples under the age of 30 in Shushan. These disciples were now scattered in the surroundings. Their allies had begun to gather. The top ten peaks had gathered together and were setting up a formation.
"Martial Uncle, why are you here?"
The two disciples first looked around and then thought of something. They looked at Gu Zheng and asked in shock. This was a place where only those under the age of 30 could enter. Gu Zheng, a Jin Xian, had actually come to this place.
"I'm not 30 years old either. Why can't I come in?"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly. After he finished speaking, he led them to a random place to meditate. Although they had never entered this battlefield before, all the disciples had received instructions from the elders at the peak. They knew what to do after entering the battlefield.
Outside, many people stood up when they saw Gu Zheng enter the battlefield.
In the center outside, there was a mirror that reflected the scene in the Virtual Battlefield. Everything that happened in the battlefield could be seen from the outside. When Gu Zheng walked over, no one felt anything. However, when they saw Gu Zheng enter the battlefield, many people were in disbelief and stood up.
They were not the only ones. Even the elders in the center were stunned when they saw Gu Zheng enter the battlefield.
In particular, the elder who wanted to take Gu Zheng in as a disciple stood up abruptly.
"Changmei, what the hell are you doing? Why did you let Jin Xian enter the Virtual Battlefield? Don't you know that the Virtual Battlefield is restricted to those under the age of 30?"
A peak master at the side stood up and questioned Changmei. Changmei laughed and shook his head. He replied directly, "Of course I know. Not only are those under the age of 30 not allowed to enter, but those above the age of 30 are also not allowed to enter. The Gate of Xuan Jing is only open to those under the age of 30. Those above the age of 30 are not allowed to enter. Am I right?"
"You're right, but …"
The person who questioned him could not continue. Since the Gate of Xuan Jing did not allow those above the age of 30 to enter, there was only one possibility. However, Gu Zheng had entered.
He turned his head abruptly and looked at Gu Zheng in the mirror. His face was full of disbelief.
"Impossible. This is impossible. It's absolutely impossible!"
He kept shaking his head. The Gate of Xuan Jing could prevent those above the age of 30 from entering. Since Gu Zheng had entered, the only possibility was that Gu Zheng was under the age of 30. However, Gu Zheng was already Jin Xian. How could he be under the age of 30?
It was not easy to reach the Void Return Realm under the age of 30, let alone Jin Xian.
In fact, many disciples of Shu Mountain could become immortals before the age of 30. Otherwise, there would not be so many people who entered. The environment of the Untainted Land was suitable for cultivation. It was not difficult to reach the Qi Refinement Realm before the age of 30.
However, the Qi Refinement Realm was completely different from Jin Xian's realm. They were two different concepts.
For example, although there were not many divisional cadres at the age of 30 in China, there were still some. Many young cadres could become Deputy Divisional Cadres or even Divisional Cadres before the age of 30. However, it was terrifying to become a divisional cadre at the age of 30. It was simply impossible to become a divisional cadre at the age of 30.
There was only a one-level difference between a divisional cadre and a divisional cadre. However, the difference between the Qi Refinement Realm and Jin Xian's realm was more than one level.
Not only the person who questioned him, but many people had also noticed Gu Zheng and were asking about him.
Many people knew Gu Zheng. After all, Gu Zheng was now a celebrity in Shu Mountain. Some people who did not know Gu Zheng were confused. After asking around, they were in an uproar. It was simply unimaginable that Jin Xian had sneaked into the competition between disciples below the age of 30.
There were a lot of Qi Refinement Realm cultivators and a few Soul Transformation Realm cultivators. There were only three people in the Void Return Realm on the battlefield. Jin Xian's strength was absolutely overwhelming. No one could compare with Gu Zheng.
"Junior Brother Changmei, the Sect Master invites you over!"
Changmei had already asked many people. A Jin Xian came over to invite Changmei. Gu Zheng's entry into the Virtual Battlefield also alarmed the Sect Master and the others.
Changmei straightened his clothes and followed him out. Soon, he arrived in front of the Purple Cloud Sage and the other elders.
Changmei first cupped his hands and bowed. Then, he stood there with his head held high. They did not violate any rules. Gu Zheng was qualified to enter, so he was not worried at all.
"Changmei, why can Gu Zheng enter?"
The Purple Cloud Sage asked. Although they had already discussed it and guessed the possibility, he still wanted to confirm it with Changmei.
The Xuanjing Sect was refined by their Grand Supreme Elder. Even Daluo Jinxian could not enter. Gu Zheng could not think of any other reason for him to enter except that he was not 30 years old.
"Sect Master, Junior Brother Gu is 28 years old this year. He is not 30 years old, so of course he can enter!"
Changmei was neither humble nor arrogant. He cupped his hands and replied. After hearing his confirmation, the other elders were still in disbelief. 28 years old. Gu Zheng was only 28 years old this year. What kind of genius was he to reach the Jin Xian Realm at 28 years old?
"Good, good!"
The Elder who had wanted to accept Ye Xiwen as his disciple said the word 'good' and was very excited. The others looked at him with jealousy. Previously, when Gu Zheng was choosing his master, some of them were busy, some were not around, and some were far away, so they did not come. Only the four Elders followed Purple Cloud Sage.
They had already seen Gu Zheng early on and had taken advantage of the situation. Just the fact that Gu Zheng was able to trigger the ten thousand swords to choose their master was enough to arouse the thoughts of every Elder. Now that they knew Gu Zheng wasn't even 30 years old, their hearts began to itch.
Previously, there were several geniuses in Shushan who had triggered the Ten Thousand Swords Chose Their Master, but none of them had reached the Jin Xian Realm before the age of 30.
"Okay, we know. You can go back first!"
After confirming, the Purple Cloud Sage asked Changmei to go back. Changmei hesitated and stood there. He cupped his hands and asked, "Leader, Gu Zheng is not 30 years old. It's not against the rules for him to enter the battlefield, right?"
"Of course not. We'll inform everyone in a while. You can go back without worry!"
The Purple Cloud Sage smiled and shook his head. He could see that Changmei was worried. Although Changmei allowed Gu Zheng to enter the battlefield, he always felt a little uneasy. He was worried that the Leader would disqualify Gu Zheng. Now that he had the Leader's guarantee, Changmei was not worried at all.
"Thank you, Leader!"
Changmei said goodbye and left. The smile on his face did not disappear. In this ranking distribution meeting, their ranking would definitely be lowered. However, even if it was lowered, it could not be lowered too much. They let Gu Zheng go in the first game to make trouble. There were only three of them in Wangu Peak. In the end, only three of them could stay, so they could not get many points.
But if they could not get any points, they could not get any points. Apart from the first dozens of peaks, the rest would not be able to get any points in this competition.
This would offend a lot of people, but Changmei did not care so much. In order to stabilize his ranking, he would use any method he could.
The Leader quickly announced that Gu Zheng's entry into the battlefield was valid. With their announcement, the Virtual Battlefield officially began.
In the battlefield, many people had already noticed Gu Zheng. After all, Gu Zheng was not an ordinary disciple. Even if these were only Fairy Immortal disciples, there were still people who recognized him.
On that day, many of the disciples who lined up to receive the Immortal Sword were under 30 years old. When they saw Gu Zheng, they could not believe it at first. After confirming it, they all told the people around them.
The news that a Jin Xian had entered the battlefield of these Fairy Immortals spread quickly in the battlefield.
Gu Zheng did not pay attention to them. He sensed his own body and looked very curious.
He knew that it was only his consciousness that had entered, not his actual body. However, he could still use his strength here no matter how much strength he had outside. He could also use whatever weapons he had outside. It would not affect his strength at all.
However, dying here was not a real death. It was just the return of one's consciousness.
Shu Mountain would not let so many disciples die because of a competition. This was just a training for the disciples.
"It has begun?"
Gu Zheng heard the announcement that the battle had begun. Many people gathered together looked at him. Although the battle had already begun, not many people moved.
"In a while, you two will follow me. Don't do anything!"
Gu Zheng instructed the two disciples. The battle would last for four hours. After four hours, the number of disciples who were still on the battlefield would be used as a ranking. This ranking was not the final ranking, but it would have a certain impact on the final ranking. The result of this ranking would be 20% of the final ranking.
This was also the reason why Chang Mei placed so much importance on this battle royale. If Gu Zheng could really eliminate the disciples from the peaks below them, they would at least be able to maintain 20% of their ranking. Even if their ranking dropped in the future, it wouldn't drop too much.
The two disciples hurriedly nodded. Gu Zheng did not talk nonsense. He took them and flew forward.
According to Changmei's instructions, other than the top 80 disciples, the rest had to be cleared out.
Anyway, they could not enter the top 80. These people did not need to care about them. The top 80 disciples basically accounted for half of the people. This way, Gu Zheng would have to clear out a lot less people.
Even if half of them were gone, there were still more than 2,000 people. It would take Gu Zheng a lot of effort to clear out more than 2,000 immortals.
Without wasting any more time, Gu Zheng flew out. He could fly in the Virtual Battlefield. He flew towards the nearest disciple. A pitch-black long saber appeared in his hand.
Tang Mo. He did not know if this Tang Mo was the real body or an illusion. If all the functions of Tang Mo could be simulated here, it would be really amazing.
"He's here. What should we do?"
"Let's attack together. What can Jin Xian do? There are so many of us. We can't beat him alone."
These people already knew Gu Zheng's identity. Some of them gritted their teeth and said. This group of people was a small alliance. There were about 300 people. Only seven of them were in the Soul Formation Realm. The rest were in the Qi Transformation Realm.
They were in the early, middle, and late Qi Transformation Realm. Most of them were in the early Qi Transformation Realm. Most of them were disciples who had just entered Shushan.
After Gu Zheng flew over, he did not care about them at all. He directly released the fire dragon and water dragon. These two dragons were as strong as Jin Xian. This way, Gu Zheng was not fighting alone, but three people.
The two huge dragons, one red and one green, quickly rushed into the group of disciples. They were like tigers in a flock of sheep.
Miserable screams constantly sounded. Whether it was the fire dragon or the water dragon, the disciples died as soon as they touched them. They quickly disappeared and woke up in their seats. Then, they stared blankly at the two dragons on the central screen, which continued to slaughter their companions.
Gu Zheng held Tang Mo in his hand and rotated the Mountain-splitting Saber Technique. Almost one person was killed with each slash. In just a few breaths, the group of people collapsed and wanted to escape in all directions.
Unfortunately, their speed was not as fast as Gu Zheng and the two huge dragons. They were quickly wiped out.
"The difference in strength is too big!"
On the central stage, the Purple Cloud Sage gently shook his head. An elder next to him objected. "Even if the difference in strength is too big, there is no need for such a massacre. After all, they are all Immortals. It is not easy for Jin Xian to win against hundreds of Immortals. In my opinion, the reason why it is so easy is that Gu Zheng is extraordinary!"
He said the key point. After all, there were more than 300 Immortals. Their strength was not as good as Jin Xian's, but there were many of them. If they attacked together, even Jin Xian would have to temporarily avoid them. They did not pose any threat to Gu Zheng. On the contrary, they were all killed by Gu Zheng as if he was cutting grass. This was not only because of the difference in realm, but also because of the difference in strength.
It could only be said that Gu Zheng was not an ordinary Jin Xian. In other words, he was stronger than an ordinary Jin Xian at the initial stage.
"Let's continue to watch. I think everyone can guess Wan Gufeng's intention. It seems that Gu Zheng is going to kill a lot of people inside!"
The Purple Cloud Sage nodded silently. They were all smart people. After Gu Zheng entered, they had already guessed Chang Mei's intention. Although they had guessed it, they did not blame Chang Mei. Chang Mei's actions were understandable. He did it for Wan Gufeng, not for himself.
It was like they dared to do anything for the benefit of Shushan. The Purple Cloud Sage would never blame Chang Mei for this kind of thing.
