The top three in the Five Prefectures Tournament would become the top scholar, the second scholar, and the third scholar.
It should be known that these three scholarly titles were not just titles. They came with a lot of power and glory, and they could obtain a lot of resources for cultivation.
Therefore, the Five Prefectures Tournament was the most important and supreme competition among the younger generation in the True Spirit World!
The main purpose of Chu Wuyi's trip this time was to attend the Five Prefectures Tournament that was held once a year!
Different from the Great Chu royalty in the Qiankun world, the Great Chu royalty in the True Spirit World had reached an inhuman level of respect for Chu Xingyun.
Simply put, after hundreds of years of praise, Chu Xingyun had become a half-human, half-god existence.
Although most of these stories were true, and they were indeed done by Chu Xingyun, Chu Xingyun could be sure that he was definitely not that powerful back then. His actions were also not that exaggerated!
However, thinking about it carefully, if Chu Xingyun did not have the thousand years of memories from his previous life, he would not have been able to do many things.
Saving the dynasty, stepping on thousands of swords, destroying stars, wiping out the six sects, destroying the Jiuhan Temple, and sweeping across the True Spirit World with his weak strength.
Under normal circumstances, such things were absolutely impossible, but … Chu Xingyun back then had done it.
Therefore, in general, these things were true, but the process of the matter had become a myth.
Take the battle in the Jiuhan Temple as an example. Chu Xingyun did not have the ability to trample over the Jiuhan Temple and kill Ye Xueshang, who had the strength of a half-step Emperor under the enhancement of the great formation.
Another example was the battle between the Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect. Chu Xingyun was actually a secret plotter, who plotted to instigate the battle between the two sects. At the last moment, he stood out at the most appropriate time to clean up the mess.
However, according to the legends, Chu Xingyun had faced the joint attack of two sects by himself, and he had swept through everything with only his sword … He had killed the 10,000 Swords Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect, causing them to throw away their helmets and armor and flee at the mere sight of him. This was too exaggerated and illogical.
However, although it sounded illogical, Chu Xingyun did kill Ye Xueshang, who had the strength of a half-step Emperor under the enhancement of the great formation.
Everything else could be faked, but the Nine Glacial Palace was still standing there, and the formation was still there. In fact, the remnants of the battle back then were still there, and the pressure of the half-step Zhizun Realm had not dissipated yet.
In other words, Chu Xingyun did indeed defeat Ye Xueshang, who had the strength of a half-step Emperor.
According to this ratio, Chu Xingyun could naturally fight against the Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect alone a year or two ago.
Especially during the period when the Great Chu royalty was established, in order to strengthen the rule and establish enough prestige among the human race, Chu Xingyun's deeds were artistically edited into stories and promoted to the entire human race.
Most importantly, although the entire story had undergone artistic embellishment and exaggeration, there was still evidence to back it up.
Wu Jing Xue and his Jingtian Army, Lin Tianchong and his Thunder Tiger War Body, and Mowang Gong and his Spirit Puppet Army. If anyone didn't believe it, they could go and challenge them.
Today, Wu Jing Xue, Lin Tianchong, and Mowang Gong were all half-step Emperor level experts. This was enough to prove how strong they were in the past.
Moreover, the most terrifying thing was that decades ago, when the Great Chu royalty of the Qiankun world tried to invade the True Spirit World, it was these three giants who led their armies and blocked the powerful Qiankun army on the Ancient Star Road.
Chu Xingyun was already an immortal-like existence in the True Spirit World, and no longer belonged to the category of mortals.
The sect where Chu Xingyun used to be, the battlefield where he used to fight, had now become a sacred place. It was a must-visit place for people who liked to travel.
On the third day of Chu Wuyi's arrival in the Flowing Cloud Imperial City, the new Five Capitals Tournament finally entered the finals.
As the empress of the Great Chu royalty, she wouldn't attend ordinary competitions. She would only personally attend the finals.
On the day of the finals, the Flowing Cloud Imperial City was filled with a sea of people. All the elites of the younger generation had gathered together to compete for the top three spots in the Five Capitals Tournament, making their names known throughout the world and bringing honor to their ancestors!
As the empress of the Great Chu royalty, she would attend the finals of the Five Capitals Tournament every year for the past hundred years. This year was no exception.
However, although the competition was very grand, in reality … there was really nothing to say about how exciting the competition was.
Although the strength of the practitioners of the True Spirit World had greatly increased after a hundred years, and the overall level had greatly increased.
However, only those under twenty years of age could participate in the Five Capitals Tournament.
Add to that the fact that the True Spirit World was lacking in spirit qi, and cultivation was difficult, therefore … the young practitioners participating in the Five Capitals Tournament were all below the sky spirit realm.
The battles below the sky spirit realm were mainly a contest of technique. Therefore … although the battles were incomparably lively, there wasn't much excitement in the end.
Especially from Chu Xingyun's perspective, these so-called young geniuses weren't much different from three year old children.
It wasn't that Chu Xingyun was too full of himself. At this point, apart from the Emperor, even the Martial Emperor was nothing more than flowery but impractical moves in Chu Xingyun's eyes. It wasn't even worth looking at.
The curtains finally came to an end after the entire competition lacked excitement, but it was still intense enough.
The first, second, and third place winners would be personally awarded prizes by the empress of the Great Chu royalty, Chu Wuyi.
One had to know that the top three of the Five Capitals Tournament would not only receive glory, but would also be directly conferred titles by the royal family and become nobles. They would also be given a military position and become a general in the army.
From this, it could be seen that the Great Chu royalty of the True Spirit World was founded on martial might.
With a smile on his face, Chu Wuyi gracefully handed out the rewards to the second and third rankers respectively. As for the conferment of military positions, it would not be held today, but at a later date during the ceremony of the military headquarters.
Finally … it was time for the martial champion of the Five Capitals Tournament of this world.
Chu Wuyi stood proudly in front of the throne in splendid attire. He received a golden sword from an attendant and waited for the martial champion of this world to come forward and receive his reward.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands, the martial champion of this world wore a long moon white robe with a sword hanging from his waist. He walked up the steps with large strides towards Chu Wuyi.
Upon closer inspection, this martial champion had a handsome figure. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face full of heroic spirit.
However, from Chu Xingyun's perspective, this young man's gaze was too bright, and the ambition hidden within was so strong that it couldn't be contained.
Chu Xingyun couldn't help but frown as he watched the young man walk up the steps. For some reason … he felt that this young man seemed a bit familiar, as if he'd seen him somewhere before.
