"That's right, it is the Soul Battle. Everyone can prepare to your heart's content." After the announcement, the Right Prime Minister actually responded to the doubts of the various Astral Realms with interest.
"Clang … Clang …" After throwing down these words, the Four-eyed Bird under the Right Minister let out two clear cries. Raging flames rose from the Four-eyed Bird's body. In an instant, it carried the Right Minister and transformed into a stream of light that disappeared between heaven and earth, leaving behind the heads of the various Star Realms with extremely strange expressions.
Even Inspector Di Nankun of the Wood Puppet Realm had an extremely cautious and strange expression as he stared in the direction the Right Minister disappeared. He muttered to himself, "Why is the Soul Battle arranged for the first battle? Also, why didn't the Right Minister say what kind of Soul Battle it is? "
Listening to Di Nankun's muttering, Ling Dong immediately obtained two important pieces of information. First, this Soul Battle was not simple and could even be considered very difficult. Second, there were many types of Soul Battles set by the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch.
After pondering for a moment, Di Nankun sighed when the figure of the Right Prime Minister had completely disappeared from this world. "This is really going to be difficult."
After he finished speaking, Di Nankun suddenly rose into the air and his majestic voice instantly entered the ears of every cultivator from the Wood Puppet Realm. "Cultivators who have been eliminated, immediately return to the Wood Puppet Realm. If your sect doesn't have a qualified cultivator, immediately return to the Wood Puppet Realm. Thirty-six cultivators who have obtained the qualifications to participate in the Soul Battle, come below me. "
After Di Nankun finished speaking, the cultivators from the other Star Realms also received the same order. As a result, the remaining cultivators in the square before the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's mansion began to move like ants. Not long after, the huge square before the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's mansion became empty again.
However, before the square before the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's mansion became empty again, it was filled with the envious and reluctant gazes of the cultivators who had left …
This would be their lifelong regret!
"Brother Ling, thank you for your help. Qianbi is very grateful." When the cultivators from the Wood Puppet Realm gathered, Shi Qianbi ran over to Ling Dong and cupped his hands in thanks.
Hearing this, Ling Dong frowned and said, "Brother Shi, it's just a small matter. If you want to say that you've protected Ling, what about it? Moreover, if it wasn't for something unexpected happening to Ling along the way, the Wooden Spider World wouldn't have won so narrowly. "
Ling Dong explained. Di Nankun had mentioned this before. He must have told Di Nankun about how Ling Dong had helped them. Ling Dong had gathered about 11 people, and the remaining 20 or so were probably Shi Qianbi's handiwork. Of course, there were also some lucky ones among them.
"We thank Senior Brother Ling for saving our lives!"
"Thank you, Brother Shi, for saving our lives!" Just as Ling Dong and Shi Qianbi were expressing their gratitude, the cultivators who had qualified to participate in the battle also gathered. Although the situation at the time might have been unpleasant, and they might have even fought with Ling Dong and Shi Qianbi, now that they had been successfully rewarded, none of them didn't thank Ling Dong and Shi Qianbi.
Not to mention the subsequent qualifications and sect rewards, just a Clear Void Soaring Dragon Pill would definitely benefit them for the rest of their lives, because it could save them at least two or three years of hard work. If used well, it could even save them more than ten years of hard work.
"Haha, no need for thanks. Everyone, no need for thanks!" Seeing these cultivators gather to express their gratitude, Ling Dong and Shi Qianbi couldn't say anything, and could only chat with the crowd while laughing.
Shi Qianbi didn't feel much because of his fame and status, but after this incident, Ling Dong's fame and status skyrocketed. Once these people returned to the Wood Puppet Realm, Ling Dong's fame would spread through all the major sects, and his fame would surpass Shi Qianbi's.
While Ling Dong and Shi Qianbi were having a hard time dealing with the situation, Bai Yuhan, who was waiting by the side, did not avoid looking at Ling Dong's body. The gentle light in her eyes and her tensed pretty face gave off an otherworldly feeling at this moment.
"Everyone!" After dealing with those who didn't qualify to participate, Inspector Di Nankun, who had returned to the Wood Puppet Realm, said two words. Everyone's attention was focused on him, and the noise stopped.
"Everyone, you've helped the Wood Puppet Realm obtain seventh place. Although it's miserable, it's still an honor compared to the past. This lord has already said that all the cultivators that qualify to participate in the Millennium Elite Battle will not only receive the rewards from the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's mansion, but all of you will also receive an additional reward from this lord. An additional reward from the Wood Spider Realm's Celestial Lord's mansion! "
Di Nankun's words were powerful, and it caused the breathing of many of the Wood Puppet Realm cultivators to quicken. With the help of Ling Dong and Shi Qianbi, they had obtained the right to stay and receive the reward from the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's mansion. Now that there was an additional reward from the Wood Spider Realm's Constellation Heavenly Monarch, how could they not be overjoyed?
Aside from being happy, they were also very grateful to Ling Dong and Shi Qianbi. Perhaps subconsciously, Ling Dong and Shi Qianbi were slowly sent to the center of the thirty-six people from the Wood Puppet Realm as the others stepped back. Even Bai Yuhan was moved to Ling Dong's side.
This was respect for the strong, respect that came from the bottom of their hearts.
However, Ling Dong didn't have time to think about this. His mind was focused on Di Nankun's words. What was this extra reward?
"However, before I talk about the reward, I have to mention the Soul Battle after the first battle. To be honest, even I don't know much about the soul battles. Although the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's mansion has the ability to arrange a soul battle every 1,000 years, the method of arranging the soul battle is different every time. "
At this point, Di Nankun revealed a reminiscing expression. "Two thousand years ago, during the Vermillion Bird Elite Battle, there was also a Soul Battle. It was during the third battle. That Soul Battle was a battle of Divine Souls between two cultivators. The battle was extremely tragic. According to records, there were Soul Battles before that, but they were different every time.
Therefore, that's why the Right Minister said to 'prepare in advance'. This is also why the Celestial Lord's mansion can't let you prepare anything in advance. This is because the Vermillion Bird Elite Battle that occurs every thousand years is different except for the final battle.
"Therefore, I don't have much to tell you about the upcoming Soul Battle. I can only tell you to focus on guarding your Souls during this period of time. Try your best to think ahead, get rid of some of your obsessions, let go of some of your hatred, and let your Souls get as close to the Great Perfection Stage as possible. "
Di Nankun suddenly smiled bitterly. "Of course, I'm not completely right. Sometimes, obsessions can play a key role. Alright, you are free to cultivate during this month. Let nature take its course. When the time comes for the battle, it will depend on your own luck. "
After giving a few instructions, Di Nankun suddenly felt that it was inappropriate. He immediately changed his words and told the cultivators to let nature take its course. In the end, Di Nankun said solemnly, "I just want to say that every battle that follows will have a huge impact on the future of each and every one of you. I hope that all of you will do your best in every battle that follows. Even if it's for your own sake, it's for the increasingly tempting rewards that even I would be tempted by!"
"Patrol Envoy (Master), please be careful. We will do our best …"
"Alright. Now, let's talk about the additional rewards for the thirty-six of you. You have three options to choose from. The first option is that I will reward each of you with a Supreme Grade Cosmic Artifact on the spot. Or, you can choose an elixir or Reiki that is equivalent to the value of the Supreme Grade Cosmic Artifact. You can redeem it on the spot."
When Di Nankun mentioned the first option, most of the cultivators held their breaths. Ling Dong was no exception. Although Ling Dong had seen Supreme Grade Cosmic Artifacts before, Di Nankun had taken out thirty-six of them at once. This showed how powerful the Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode was.
Supreme Grade Cosmic Artifacts! Even most of the ordinary Elders of the True Gang Sect would be proud to own a Supreme Grade Cosmic Artifact. In the entire True Gang Sect, not even one Supreme Grade Cosmic Artifact had appeared in the past few years.
"The second option is to go to the Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode in the Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode to meditate for three months. I can make it clear to you. The Celestial Officers of the various auxiliary Celestial Realms in the Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode can only enter the Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode to meditate for one to three months every ten years. If you have a choice, you can enter the Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode any time within ten years of returning to the Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode. "
Others might not know this, but Ling Dong was the most familiar with the second option. He had worked hard for ten years to obtain a Celestial Officer of Heaven's Abode examination, and only received a month's time to meditate. But now, he could easily obtain three months of time. This showed how precious and tempting this reward was.
"As for the third option, I have already said it before I came. If you are qualified to participate in the battle, you can choose from the position of Deputy Mayor of the Four Great Martial Cities. You can only choose one out of the three options. Make your decision now, "Di Nankun said decisively.
To be honest, among the three options, Ling Dong was most tempted by the Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode of Heaven's Abode for three months. That was the most cost-effective reward. After all, Ling Dong had once meditated for a month.
However, from Ling Dong's point of view, the most effective and cost-effective method wasn't necessarily the most suitable method. Ling Dong's current goal was to go as far as possible in the Thousand Year Battle of the Suzaku Star System.
After a few breaths, Ling Dong, like most of the thirty-six ancient martial art practitioners present, chose the first reward, a top grade Universal Treasure.
However, Ling Dong chose the defensive Supreme Grade Cosmic Artifact Armor. Ling Dong's Upper Grade Cosmic Artifact Armor had been shattered in the battle with Mo Wudi. Now that he had this one, not only would it make up for his shortcomings, but it would also increase his strength.
After all, only the first option was available. Perhaps as long as he went further in the battle, the reward he received would be thousands of times better than the second option.
However, among the 36 cultivators, there were a few that chose the second and third option. They were also a few that didn't have much confidence in the upcoming battle.
After a brief moment of chaos, Di Nankun cashed out the rewards that the cultivators had chosen. Then he looked at Ling Dong and Bai Yuhan with a smile.
"The two of you turned the situation around at the crucial moment. Our Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode won't be at the bottom again. Ling Dong also made an important contribution to our Celestial Lord of Heaven's Abode.
I have always been fair in my rewards and punishments. Ling Dong, tell me, what kind of reward do you want? As long as I can take it out, I won't hold back! "
