The rules
The next day, early in the morning.
Outside the Myriad Star Building, various major forces had gathered. However, the number of people who had come was not many and appeared to be somewhat sparse.
When Chu Xingyun arrived, the atmosphere was somewhat tense. There seemed to be traces of hostility between the various forces. Chu Xingyun's eyes darkened as he cautiously scanned the surroundings.
The coldest one was the Divine Cloud Palace.
Only to see Gu Tianjiao standing in the air, his entire body radiating an icy aura. He stared coldly at Flowing Fragrance, and even without saying anything, just the hostility he exuded was enough to cause others to retreat three steps, not daring to face him head-on.
That black-clothed man was a Yin-Yang Realm expert. He had a high status in the Divine Cloud Palace. Of course, the Divine Cloud Palace would be unhappy with his inexplicable death. However, Gu Tianjiao seemed to have misunderstood and thought that Liuxiang was responsible for his death, Chu Xingyun thought to himself.
In everyone's eyes, Shui Liu Xiang was not only powerful, but also bloodthirsty. Because of this, she had become everyone's enemy. The five major forces wanted to unite to deal with her.
However, they did not know that the real instigator was Ye Qianhan. She controlled Shui Liu Xiang's actions. In terms of strength, she was also extremely powerful. She could easily kill a person in the second stage of the Yin-Yang Realm.
More importantly, this woman was cold and good at enduring. She was like a sharp knife in the dark. Chu Xingyun felt that she was extremely dangerous, so he did not dare to underestimate her.
Chu Xingyun looked around. Suddenly, he saw Su Muzhao and Su Jing 'an. The two of them also saw Chu Xingyun. They bowed slightly and smiled faintly.
Chu Xingyun also responded with a faint smile. Although the three of them would also be opponents during the Six Sects Grand Competition, there were many types of opponents. He knew Su Jing 'an and Su Muzhao's character very well, so he did not feel any coldness in his heart.
As Chu Xingyun scanned his surroundings, several gazes landed on him. These gazes were either cold or scorching. They filled the air, causing the atmosphere to become increasingly strange.
These two were Gu Tianjiao and Lin Jingxuan. They had some grudges with Chu Xingyun, but because of their special privileges, they couldn't fight each other. But within the Ancient Star mystic realm, there were no such misgivings. The strong lived and the defeated died.
As for Luo Sen and Gu Mang, both of them loved to battle. They wanted to challenge any of the monstrous geniuses participating in the Six Sects Grand Competition.
As for the others, they were standing at various places with their eyes closed in meditation. Beneath their calm faces were similarly a myriad of thoughts that were hidden, and they were secretly observing the surroundings and sizing up the situation.
These twelve people before him were the hopes of the six major powers. In the future, they would all be peerless experts who could shake the heavens and earth. Every move they made was filled with deep meaning. They wouldn't do anything that was useless.
"Is everyone here?" Just then, a voice drifted through the air. Everyone looked up and saw Gu Fanxing in the lead. Eighteen strong cultivators were strolling over. Each of them had a majestic aura and terrifying spiritual light seeped out from their bodies, shaking the air.
The higher-ups of the major powers stepped out and greeted Gu Fanxing. Gu Fanxing did not treat them as strangers and responded to them one by one. Then, he looked at the twelve monstrous geniuses. The smile on his face slowly faded and his expression became serious.
He waved his hand and said loudly, "Since everyone is here, I will explain the specific rules of the Six Sects Grand Competition."
Hearing this, the entire space became silent. Everyone looked over, including Ye Qianhan and Shui Liu Xiang. They all listened attentively, not wanting to miss a single detail.
"The Six Sects Grand Competition is divided into two stages. The first stage is the qualifiers."
Gu Fanxing's voice was loud and resonated throughout the space. "The twelve of you will enter the Ancient Star Mystery Realm. You will use your own strength to survive in the Ancient Star Mystery Realm and search for opportunities. In one month, the mystery realm will reopen. Anyone who can safely leave the mystery realm will be qualified to enter the second stage."
As he spoke, he opened his palm and twelve dim lights suddenly appeared. They were fist-sized greyish-black tokens. They were hexagonal and were made of special materials. They gave off a sparkling light. There were also many ancient inscriptions carved on them. They looked quite mysterious.
Gu Fanxing flicked his finger and the twelve tokens landed in the hands of the geniuses. As soon as they touched them, a cold feeling assaulted their hearts. No matter how much Spiritual Qi surged, it could not penetrate the tokens at all.
"The Ancient Star Mystery Realm is extremely vast. In it, there is a mysterious aura called Immortal Qi. The Ancient Star Tokens in your hands can absorb Immortal Qi and condense it in your body. The more Immortal Qi there is, the larger the phantom you can condense. Even if you are more than ten miles away, you will be able to see it clearly."
After Gu Fanxing finished speaking, many people frowned. Gu Tianjiao lowered his voice and spoke first. "The more Immortal Qi there is, the larger the phantom will be. This will completely expose your location. If I'm not wrong, the Immortal Qi should have another function, right?"
The Six Sects Grand Competition would definitely be a bloodbath. For anyone, exposing their location was an extremely dangerous thing. It was very likely that they would be besieged.
If the Immortal Qi was useless, the Ancient Star Tokens would only be a burden.
"After a month, the mystery realm will reopen. Anyone who reaches the Central Peak will be able to leave the Ancient Star Mystery Realm safely. During this period, the amount of Immortal Qi will determine the ranking."
Gu Fanxing continued to explain. "The second stage of the Six Sects Grand Competition is the ranking battle. The order of the battles in this stage will be determined by the ranking in the first stage. The person who leaves first will have priority and can choose the person who will challenge him. That person will even have a chance to skip and directly enter the next battle."
Hearing this, the crowd suddenly understood.
The amount of Immortal Qi would determine the order of the ranking battle, and the ranking battle would directly determine the champion of the Six Sects Grand Competition.
In this way, if one wanted to seize the initiative in the Ranking Tournament, then they had to obtain the most amount of Celestial Qi. However, the amount of Celestial Qi could not be hidden. Everyone could see it. In other words, everyone could act to seize it.
Moreover, there was only one place to leave the Ancient Star Mystery Realm, and that was the Central Peak. Even if one had a huge amount of Immortal Qi, if one could not reach that place, they would lose the qualification to participate in the ranking battle.
"Such a rule is interesting. Aside from snatching Immortal Qi, one also has to consider the opponent's movements. Finally, one has to reach the Central Peak safely. Once a battle breaks out, everyone will be plunged into endless chaos." Chu Xingyun's eyes lit up. The rules of the qualification battle seemed simple, but there were many hidden mysteries. If one wanted to be the champion, one had to consider deeply and not make a single mistake.
Moreover, Gu Fanxing only explained the rules. He did not say how to obtain Immortal Qi or how much danger there was in the Ancient Star Mystery Realm.
He deliberately hid all of this. Even when Fan Wujie asked him yesterday, he was unwilling to explain. Obviously, he wanted to use his identity as the host to seize the opportunity.
In an instant, the eyes of the 12 monstrous geniuses darkened. They looked at each other and vaguely revealed a deep thought.
