"Listen carefully. What I'm about to say will affect your results in the Vermilion Bird Star Palace's Millennium Elite Battle. It will even affect the future achievements of most of you on the path of martial arts!"
When all the cultivators from the Wood Puppet Realm who came from all over to participate in the Vermillion Bird Starry Palace's Millennium Elite Battle walked into the palace that protected the ancient teleportation array, Young Master Di, who was Shi Qianbi's master, suddenly appeared and said these words in an extremely calm voice!
"I'm in charge of the Star Peace Palace in the Constellation Lord's Mansion. I handle the trivial matters of the Vermilion Bird Star Palace on behalf of the Heavenly Lord. I'm the head of the three Inspectors. You can call me Inspector Di Kun. At the same time, I'm also the Venerable who will lead all of you in the Vermilion Bird Star Palace's Millennium Elite Battle!"
Although Inspector Di Nankun's voice was extremely indifferent, everyone, including Ling Dong, felt as if his voice was right next to their ears. His voice carried an indescribable sense of majesty. Although he didn't have a stern expression, every cultivator present held their breaths and listened attentively.
Ling Dong was most apprehensive about the huge gap in strength that he could feel from Ling Dong's intuition.
Just by standing there, Inspector Di Nankun was like a crane standing among a flock of chickens. He gave Ling Dong a feeling of looking up at a lofty mountain. A feeling of invincibility arose from the bottom of his heart.
This feeling of invincibility wasn't just in terms of strength, but also in his heart. Just by standing there casually, Di Nankun seemed to have merged with the entire world. It was as if every movement he made was accompanied by the might of the world.
At this moment, a heartfelt sense of helplessness rose up in Ling Dong's heart. Ling Dong felt that even if he condensed a wood-type Astral Soul, used the top-notch Five Stars Engendering Technique, and raised his strength to the Constellation Realm or even higher, he still wouldn't be a match for Di Nankun.
Di Nankun's body seemed to have condensed a kind of energy that surpassed the Earth Energy cultivated by cultivators.
"Greetings, Lord Inspector!" No one knew who started it, or if they all spoke at the same time, but the moment Di Nankun finished speaking, the thousands of cultivators present loudly greeted him in unison.
At this moment, Ling Dong's eyes lit up. However, more than that, his eyes were filled with a desire for strength.
"The Vermilion Bird Star Domain Elite Battle that occurs once in a thousand years is about to begin. A few days after you all arrived, the Vermilion Bird Star Battle, the first round of the Vermilion Bird Star Elite Battle will begin! The Vermilion Bird Star Palace's seven Constellations, 123 Auxiliary Star Star Star to enter the first round!
Only the martial artists who won the first round of elimination could participate in the real Elite Battle.
However, when the number of martialists was announced, it caused some commotion. Some of them even revealed relaxed smiles on their faces.
Even Ling Dong had a relaxed smile on his face. There was no other reason. Even though only one out of ten of the five thousand people would be chosen, it was still a considerable number!
"What's wrong? Do you think 5,000 people is a lot? "But in truth, I have experienced a total of three Millennium Elite Battles in the Suzaku Star System. After the first round of eliminations, the number of people who qualified for the Millennium Elite Battle was only 1,836, and the number of people who qualified for the Millennium Elite Battle was 870!
The best result of our Wood Puppet Realm's participants was six people. The other time, three people were selected, and the other time, zero! "
"Hiss …"
The crowd gasped when they heard Di Nankun say that the best result of the Wood Puppet Realm was only six people and the worst result was zero.
According to this probability, most of the people present had already passed the first elimination round. The probability of being selected was almost one in a thousand. That was simply too terrifying.
In other words, most of the people present could only serve as a foil. If there was only one person who could qualify for the Millennium Elite Battle, then that person would be Shi Qianbi. Even Ling Dong thought the same.
"Do you all understand what I mean after hearing all this?" Di Nankun's expression suddenly turned serious. His body expanded and suddenly covered this part of the world. He looked down at the crowd and questioned them.
After being frightened like this, all the martialists were at a loss. They had no idea what this Inspector was talking about. However, Ling Dong vaguely guessed what Di Nankun meant.
The normal chance of qualifying for the Millennium Elite Battle was between one out of thirty and one out of sixty. However, the Wood Puppet Realm's chance of qualifying for the Millennium Elite Battle was ten times or even twenty to thirty times higher than the other star realms. It was one out of one to two hundred people and zero out of one thousand people.
From this, it could be seen that the Wood Puppet Realm's strength was ranked near the bottom among the star realms in the Suzaku Star System. In this case, the meaning of Di Nankun's words was clear.
"Battle record! I want you all to obtain a battle record that surpasses your previous battle record! A battle record that can earn me some face! "Di Nankun instantly clenched his fist and roared.
"As long as you can obtain a decent battle record, I can give you an extra reward!" Di Nankun suddenly raised a finger. "A position equivalent to the position of a deputy commander of one of the Four Great Martial Cities or any other equivalent position. I'll let you all choose!
However, the prerequisite is that you must pass the Millennium Elite Battle's elimination round and qualify for the Millennium Elite Battle! Do you all understand? "
Silence, a deathly silence!
However, after only half a breath of silence, the entire hall erupted into thunderous cheers and cries. Sounds of "yes" and "yes" filled the hall.
One couldn't blame these martialists for being so excited. It was mainly because the price Inspector Di Nankun had offered was too tempting.
Have you all seen the power of the Bloody Slaughter Demonic Flower? It was so powerful that the hot-tempered Grand Elder Huo Lin didn't even dare to breathe loudly. And this Bloody Slaughter Demonic Flower was the deputy commander of one of the Four Great Martial Cities, Clear Ancient City.
It could be said that this was a chance to reach the heavens in a single bound. The position of a deputy commander of one of the Four Great Martial Cities was something that ninety-nine percent of the sect masters in the Wooden Sprite Realm would be envious of. It wasn't because of the position's power, but because of the benefits given by the Constellation Celestial Lord's residence every year!
"Very good, I'm looking forward to your results in the elimination round! In addition, I'll also place the flower here today. Not only will you pass the elimination round, but as long as you are a martialist from the Wooden Sprite Realm, I'll give you an extra reward every time you win the Millennium Elite Battle!
Don't doubt the richness of my rewards. They will definitely be two, three, or even ten times better than what you can imagine. The only thing I want is your battle record. Your battle record in this Elite Battle! If you have battle record, you will have everything! "
Di Nankun's words made all the martialists present extremely excited. Many of them suddenly realized that this was a chance to change their fate and set foot on a new starting point. Every martialist's face was brimming with excitement. Even Ling Dong's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Especially when Di Nankun promised that as long as they qualified for the competition, they would be able to obtain the position of a deputy commander of one of the Four Great Martial Cities. This made Ling Dong suddenly think of a way to solve the problem of impersonating a Celestial Official.
Of course, solving this problem wasn't as simple as getting a Celestial Official position. If he really wanted to solve this problem, Ling Dong would need to plan carefully.
Seeing the thousands of martialists' expectant expressions, Di Nankun's face suddenly revealed a cruel expression. "I'll warn you all. Don't be happy too early. Before the big battle, it's best to practice a few life-saving skills! Although all the martialists will use Substitute Talismans in the first elimination round, more than one-fifth of the martialists die in the first elimination round every year! "
"Alright, that's all I have to say. The rest of the opportunities will depend on your own abilities! Enter the ancient teleportation array in batches. A hundred people at a time! "Di Nankun said without any hesitation.
What happened next was simple. Shi Qianbi stepped forward and commanded a few Heavenly Monarch guards from the Constellation Heaven Monarch's Abode to activate the ancient teleportation array in batches. Every teleportation took up to an hour. No one knew how far the Vermillion Bird Starry Mansion was from here!
Inspector Di Nankun took advantage of the first batch of martialists to teleport over. By the time it was Ling Dong's turn, several hours had already passed!
Silver light flashed in front of everyone's eyes. A majestic silver brilliance enveloped everyone in the teleportation array. The silver brilliance on the outside was like a meteor that constantly flashed.
This situation lasted for more than an hour before it stopped.
An indescribable heat swept through everyone's body. At the same time, the silver light in front of them suddenly disappeared. Ling Dong and the others' vision blurred. A scarlet brilliance instantly filled everyone's eyes.
"Scarlet Flame Mountain, a mountain that emits scarlet flames?" The scene that entered Ling Dong's eyes surprised him. There was a large mountain in the south that was completely covered in scarlet flames. The shocking temperature made even Ling Dong's group, who were hundreds of kilometers away, feel the heat.
Rong Zhongxiu, who was beside Ling Dong, had a slightly weaker cultivation. The moment she appeared, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"There's no need to be surprised. This Scarlet Flame Mountain is the famous Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Mountain in the Vermillion Bird Starry Domain. It is said that this Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Mountain is the avatar of the first Vermillion Bird Starry Lord. Look, doesn't the scarlet flame at the top of the Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Mountain look like a Vermillion Bird spreading its wings?" Grand Elder Huo Lin explained.
"Vermillion Bird Starry Lord's avatar?" Hearing these words, Ling Dong suddenly remembered the Fire Soul Bead he obtained in the Wood Puppet Realm and the promise he made to the Fire Sparrow's mother, the Vermillion Bird, about handing over its soul fragment.
"Could the Fire Sparrow's mother, the Vermillion Bird Starry Lord, be on this Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Mountain?" While he was puzzled, Ling Dong's gaze shot toward the scarlet flame at the top of the Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Mountain that Huo Lin had mentioned.
"Heavens, the Vermillion Bird formed by the flame looks exactly the same as the Vermillion Bird on the Star Official Token!" The moment Ling Dong focused his gaze, he immediately discovered that there was indeed a Vermillion Bird spreading its wings at the top of the Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Mountain!
However, Ling Dong immediately realized that something was wrong. In an instant, the image of the Vermillion Bird spreading its wings at the top of the Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Mountain filled Ling Dong's eyes. It filled Ling Dong's entire world!
Almost at the same time, the scarlet Innate Spirit Fire in Ling Dong's five Astral Souls also began to boil!
