His single eye shone brightly in the void.
"There was a mountain in ancient times, and its aura was unparalleled! The mountain suppressed the river, and their veins were connected!
In ancient times, when the Blight realm began to flourish, the ancient method refused to lower its head. At that time, there was no Inner and Outer Scenic Heavens. Both sides agreed to compete by the Milky Way, and it was a wonder … "
This True Immortal was talking about an ancient legend. It was the exact opposite of the present. After the Primordial Era only had the Upper Realm Ancient Technique, a brand new Immortal Ascension Technique finally appeared in the Ancient Era — the Upper Realm Technique of Blight!
It was more precise, more controllable, and more systematic! It was able to spread the path to becoming an Immortal to any qualified orthodoxy. It clearly told you how to walk, step by step, what each step emphasized, and what to do. From then on, becoming an Immortal was no longer a matter of luck. Diligent people had a way to progress, and it was no longer controlled by those who tried to reach the heavens!
This was undoubtedly great news for humans who advocated hard work and believed that sweat was more important than talent. But to the Ancient Method Cultivators, it was a heavy blow. After all, there was a limit to the number of people who could become an Immortal. The cake was only so big. The more you ate, the less I ate. Although the Blight Realm Cultivators were not as strong as the Ancient Method Cultivators, they were superior in that they could be trained systematically!
Filth arose naturally and could not be reconciled! Thus, one day, on the two sides of the Milky Way, a unique tug-of-war competition began!
The Ancient Method Cultivators and the Blight Realm Cultivators each occupied one side of the river. They were connected by a hook, and each used all their strength to pull back!
With the hook in hand, it was not something you could let go of just because you wanted to. It was a fight to the death! There was also no such thing as a long flag in the middle. After a certain distance, the winner and loser would be determined. Instead, it would be pulled back until someone from the weaker side fell into the Milky Way!
This Milky Way was a river of death! Even half immortals would not be able to survive if they entered. Under this tug, more and more people from the losing side would fall into the Milky Way and die!
In the end, there were fewer and fewer people on one side, and they had no choice but to admit defeat!
This was the first tug of war in the history of the universe. It was extremely cruel, and the rules were not perfect. In the end, all the Ancient Method Cultivators fell into the Milky Way! No one admitted defeat, and no one begged for mercy! From this, one could see just how deep the conflict between the two sides had been. The ancient cultivators would rather die than submit!
After that, the game of tug-of-war began to spread throughout the universe, from the cultivation world to the mortal world. With the perfection of the cultivation system and the development of the cultivation civilization, the ancient duel of tug-of-war finally withdrew from the stage of history. No one was willing to use this method to resolve disputes, because it made the cultivation of cultivators useless. Those who lost unjustly and those who won by luck relied only on brute force!
As the Cultivation civilization evolved, strength was only a small part of it. How could it measure the comprehensive ability of a Cultivator?
After it spread to the mortal world, it slowly became a way of training. Later on, there were various rules. For example, there was a long flag in the middle. If one managed to pull it to a certain position, they would win. The number of people on both sides had to be equal. If one's strength was insufficient, they could give up. The punishment was also very limited. It became a kind of game.
However, this True Immortal Sky Eye's so-called tug-of-war was definitely not that simple. Everyone pricked up their ears.
"In the mortal world, tug-of-war requires the number of participants to be equal, but in the world of cultivation, this rule doesn't apply! If you have fewer people, it means that you haven't spread enough. That's your own problem, and you only have yourself to blame. There's no reason for the more popular side to be limited by the number of people on stage.
Survival of the fittest, and the common people reap what they sow! If you don't get the recognition of most people in the world of cultivation, that's your fault. Therefore, in this regard, I will follow the example of the ancient times. There's no limit to the number of participants! "
The True Immortal's butt was very crooked! However, at this moment, under such circumstances, it also indirectly showed that the recognition of the individual strength of those with Interior Heaven was above that of those with Exterior Heaven! It was an open flattery, but you couldn't jump out and shout that it was unfair!
If you jumped out, you would be guilty! You would be not confident! You would be afraid of difficulties and avoid the strong! Considering that the difference in the number of people on both sides was just a little more than a few times, the Heaven of Interior monsters all chose to keep their mouths shut without exception! Even Lou Xiaoyi and Qing Xuan, who were always unwilling to suffer in silence and only knew how to take advantage of others, did not move. This was because they knew that if they stood out to refute now, it would be equivalent to trampling on the faces of all the Heaven of Interior monsters. They had worked so hard for so long to gather everyone together to work together. How could they be willing to destroy all their efforts because of a dispute?
The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly!
"But we can't go to the Milky Way now, and there's no need for us to go! Because the rule of the ancient tug-of-war where those who enter the river die is too unfair! It doesn't help the cultivators to exert their strength! It also seems too stupid. I think if I were to suggest this, no one would agree to the tug-of-war. Am I right? "
No one said anything, but their attitude was very obvious! It was indeed so. If they only relied on the tug-of-war to determine life and death, they would not be able to exert their skills at all. Who could accept such a result?
"The long flag is the center, the rope is ten thousand feet long, and the tower is a hundred feet long! One tower is one person, one tower is fixed. The loser retreats one tower. If you are not satisfied, you can challenge the other tower to a battle! The winner stays, and the loser goes, regardless of life or death! "
This sentence meant that he had a rope that was ten thousand feet long, and the scale was a unit of measurement of one hundred feet. It was called a tower.
The two sides stood in place. On the Heaven of Interior side, there was one person every thousand feet, which was the so-called one tower. Thus, the Heaven of Interior side had to stand on the long rope about 4,300 feet long.
Because there were many people on the Heaven of Exterior side, there was definitely not one person per thousand feet. Instead, there were two or three people per thousand feet, which was also 4,300 feet long.
When the two sides competed, no matter which side won, as long as the long flag in the middle moved to one side by a thousand feet, the loser would have to take down one tower person! For the Heaven of Interior, it was one person. For the Heaven of Exterior, it was two or three people. This was the so-called one tower was fixed.
The competition continued! Until more and more people from the losing side left, and in the end, they were defeated like a landslide!
However, those who left still had one last chance, which was to challenge the other tower person!
In other words, if the Interior Master of Heaven's side lost a Tower, then the Interior Master of Heaven at the front would have to challenge two or three cultivators from each Tower if he wanted to make a comeback!
If an Exterior-level expert lost, the two or three people at the front could choose any of the Exterior-level experts as their opponent!
No matter what, it was two Heaven of Exterior side, three against one Heaven of Interior side! No matter how one looked at it, they were at a disadvantage!
The butt of a Genuine Immortal was very crooked! However, it also showed the general judgment of the Heaven of Exterior and Heaven of Exterior side in the cultivation world of the universe! Thousands of Heaven of Interior side cultivators dared to challenge Heaven of Exterior side cultivators in the Ten-thousand Decline Realm on equal footing. What were they relying on?
Weren't they relying on the superior strength of the Heaven of Interior side? In that case, what right did the Heaven of Interior side have to ask for a fair one-on-one duel?
The real fairness was when thousands of Heaven of Interior side cultivators fought against tens of thousands of Heaven of Exterior side cultivators! If that day really came, it wouldn't be one against two or three! It would be one against nearly a hundred!
So it seemed that the Heaven of Interior side actually had an advantage in this tug-of-war?
