Chapter 140: The Martial Arts Election
Chapter 140 – Martial Election
After Zhou Xuan returned to the Purple Sun Holy Land, he pondered for a while but could not come up with a solution, so he could only rest first.
There was no way around it, there were too many enemies within the Great Dao Mirror.
Especially since he was still high up on the bounty list, and after the end of the Great Dao Mystic Realm, he had risen forward in rank, and now his bounty was coveted by countless people.
Of course, it would be unlikely for this bounty to be gotten, after all, he would have to be killed in the current world.
Once he died, the game directly read the file.
Suffice it to say, NPCs are never going to get it.
Zhou Xuan laughed silently, then thought about what he had just experienced and his face darkened again.
This situation was definitely an organized action by someone.
One could only wait until the Tongtian Election was over before going in to ask Divine Lord Myriad Jade if she had made any new discoveries.
If Divine Monarch Myriad Jade couldn’t find anything, there was no way around it, he could only directly contact Xue Xiuyu to ask her to help with the investigation.
In a certain situation, his second brother was more important than him speeding through The Great Realm of the Eastern Emperor.
After all, this was just a test, but after the public beta, this game was definitely in CG form to skip the Yin Yang Philosophy Campaign, so the importance of the Er Di experience in this test could almost be said to be at the top of the list.
With this in mind, Zhou Xuan began to rest and prepare for tomorrow’s Martial Election at noon.
Time passed quickly, and at the hour of the hour, Shi Jioyang approached the door, handing over a masterless storage ring with a respectful face, “Lord Saint Son, these reagent tubes have already been built as per your request.”
Receiving the storage ring, Zhou Xuan scanned it, there were several hundred reagent tubes within, and the sturdiness of these reagent tubes were basically of Spiritual Artifact standard.
“Not bad.”
Zhou Xuan complimented and sent Shi Jioyang out.
With regards to the identity shift between the two, it took Shi Jioyang some time before he could truly adjust, but to Zhou Xuan, this kind of identity transformation and attitude shift could be adjusted in a flash.
After all, he had played too many games, and he had long since gotten used to that shift from low to high.
The mindset was even more so.
Public beta to buy the game, then the NPCs in the game are not all his people? Whether they were enemies or friends, they were all just a part of PLAY.
One week’s worth of play is life and death, the second week’s worth of play is an unshared enemy, and this is all over the place. If you don’t have a good mindset, don’t play the game either.
And what he wanted the reagent pipe to do, naturally, was to draw the essence blood of those holy bodies and divine bodies.
He felt that these Holy Bodies and God Bodies, must have divine differences.
Why there was none within the Huanwu, but instead there was in the great realm under the control of Tai Hua Heaven, it must be a secret, a secret to be discovered by him.
And from talking with the Violet Sun Saint Master yesterday, he knew that these special physiques were definitely caused by Tai Hua Heaven.
As for how it was caused, he didn’t know, but perhaps it was hidden in the essence blood.
As for whether or not drawing the blood of Sacred Bodies and Divine Bodies would anger Tai Hua Heaven, according to the information jade slips given by the Violet Sun Sacred Lord, these holy places had also drawn the blood of special physiques, but they just couldn’t detect any abnormalities.
And since all the major holy lands had drawn blood, Tai Hua Heaven would definitely know about it.
However, the fact that all the holy places were safe and sound meant that Tai Hua Heaven did not care about holy places drawing blood from special physiques.
Zhou Xuan knew that the Holy Lands couldn’t even study it, and he must be pretty much the same, but don’t forget that he had the Great Dao Mirror, and there were too many geniuses within the Huan Yu, so there might be someone who was talented in researching this.
Anyway, let’s draw blood first, whether it’s useful or not is another story.
The main thing is to hit three shots with dates and no dates.
The martial arts election is approaching, and everyone is looking forward to it.
However, there is a holy place that is in sorrow, and this holy place is the Holy Land of Heavenly Fate.
As the Divine Body of the Heaven’s Destiny Holy Land, Yun Zhenfei had always been in the spotlight, but as a result, ever since the end of the civil election, the other party had said that they were going into seclusion and not to disturb her.
Going into seclusion?
No, it was only a day or two away from the martial arts election, to go into seclusion at this time?
Just when the martial arts election was about to begin, Yun Zhenfei appeared.
The Heaven’s Destiny Holy Lord sized up Consort Yun Zhen and realized that other than her face being more delicate, there was no difference from usual.
Only after not finding anything strange did she say, “True Concubine, there are always some demons in this world that are unusual, but you should know that your divine body is the most divine in this world in our opinion.”
Yun Zhenfei nodded her head.
Yes, tending to good fortune and avoiding evil.
With this divine body, there were dangers to be avoided in advance, and benefits could be easily seized according to the divine body’s foreshadowing, this divine body could be said to be very heaven-defying.
Not to mention, paired with her divine ability, it was basically impossible for her to die as long as she wanted to.
It was just that ever since seeing Zhou Xuan’s name on the Enlightenment List, Concubine Yun Zhen felt as if this Physique of hers, was broken.
Seeing that Consort Yun Zhen had her head lowered at this moment, not knowing what she was thinking, the Heavenly Fate Holy Lord could not help but sigh:
“A person like Zhou Xuan has such a heaven-defying enlightenment, but it’s not really surprising that only one has come out in so many years.”
“Your divine body that tends to good fortune and avoids bad luck will definitely be able to obtain a good ranking as long as you want to, and it’s even possible to pair it with a divine ability and take first place.”
“But if you keep thinking about the question regarding Zhou Xuan’s talent, causing distraction during the Martial Selection, this would be putting the cart before the horse.”
“Yes, True Concubine knows.”
“It’s good that you can think about it.” The Heavenly Fate Holy Lord wanted to say something else, but seeing the current state of True Concubine Yun, some words would be out of place to say now.
This person, Zhou Xuan, had clearly caused Concubine Yun Zhen to become competitive.
Previously, when Zhou Xuan had comprehended the Water Dao, Yun Zhenfei had clearly avoided Zhou Xuan on purpose, only glancing at the other party from afar, and did not approach.
Now, for True Concubine to get close to Zhou Xuan, it was clearly impossible, and would even cause Yun True Concubine to become alienated from the Holy Land.
Let’s talk about it later.
The Heaven’s Mandate Holy Lord was not obsessed with this session of the Great Election of Tong Tian.
Because Yun Zhenfei’s divine body was an auxiliary type divine body, wanting to take the first place amongst the Martial Election was basically a pie in the sky, but being able to take the top few was possible in her opinion.
After the Divine Fate Holy Lord left, Yun Zhenfei could no longer hold on, sitting on the ground with her butt, trembling and gasping for breath, covering her face, even the tone of her voice changed, vaguely with a crying tone, “What the hell is going on here!”
At this moment, not only the Heavenly Fate Holy Land.
The Holy Lands that possessed Holy Bodies and Divine Bodies were all pacifying the young hearts of these disciples at this moment.
It couldn’t be helped that during the Cultural Election, Zhou Xuan’s appearance had really dealt everyone a huge blow.
Now with the Martial Election, many people felt that there was still a need to participate in this Martial Election?
Especially when they were told that, upon entering the Dao Fruit stage, they would be completely immune to arts and crafts, some of them were even more gloomy when they thought about the Dao Fruit attributes that Zhou Xuan had comprehended at that time.
What was the use of a Saint Body or God Body? The spells were all immunized.
Of course, there were some physical cultivation class Saint Bodies and Divine Bodies who were all excited, they did not cultivate Jutsu, they only cultivated their physical bodies, and physical bodies, a fist-to-flesh battle, did not belong to the category of Jutsu.
Zhou Xuan’s weakness was above the physical body.
This was something that even Zhou Xuan himself admitted.
Although he had utilized the Heavenly Thunder to quench his body, and could crush Heaven’s Path Foundation Establishment cultivators in terms of his physical body, these Foundation Establishment Perfections that possessed a special physique, the odds were that they could not be spelled out.
But he was just a mage, having enough to eat to play against these physical cultivators?
In the midst of the countless cultivators’ worries, excitement, confidence, candor, and other emotions, as soon as the noon hour arrived, Zhou Xuan’s Identity Jade Plaque suddenly vibrated.
A message came from the identity jade.
“The Tongtian Grand Election Martial Selection is about to begin, do you wish to participate? You have ten breaths of time to consider it, and if you do not respond after ten breaths, it will be considered an abstention.” “Participate.”
This TongTian Grand Election was the biggest event in the early stages, as a player, there was no reason not to participate.
Even if he was a Humanity Foundation Builder right now, he would participate and die within this Tong Tian Grand Election.
Ten breaths later, Zhou Xuan looked up as the familiar white pillar of light once again blossomed from above the sky and then enveloped him.
This time, he looked around and realized that it was different from the Literary Election.
During the Cultural Election, this light had almost wrapped the entire Holy Land, and countless Foundation Establishment cultivators had been summoned into the Realm of Enlightenment.
However, at this time, there were significantly fewer.
Obviously, many people were not participating in the Martial Election.
This was normal, after all, in the middle of the martial arts election was a life and death struggle, one bad move would lead to a tragic death.
If everyone was of equal strength, many people were not afraid, if you’re good, I’m not?
However, with the participation of Saint Body and God Body, rational people basically would not choose to participate in the martial election.
Of course, many Heaven’s Path Foundation builders, even if they are not Sacred Body or Divine Body, they have their own self-confidence and will enter the Martial Election to have a go.
So there were still very many participants.
After all, the Martial Election of the Great Heavenly Choice was not like the Great Dao Mysteries that Zhou Xuan had previously participated in, where the number of Constructed Foundations was like the sands of the Ganges River, and in the end, only one of them had survived, which was not even enough to describe the situation at that time.
The Tong Tian Grand Election was naturally more humane, and the survival rate wasn’t high, but it wasn’t low either.
After ten breaths, when Zhou Xuan opened his eyes again, he looked around and seemed to be in the middle of nothingness.
Just then, that familiar voice rang out.
“We cultivators, we plunder the heavens and take over the earth, we go against the heavens. With every step of refinement, we are one step closer to the Heavenly Dao.”
“The Literature Election demonstrates enlightenment, and the Martial Election is the time to test the results.”
“Whether you’re strong or weak, you’ll know after the fight.”
“This martial arts competition, like the literature competition, lasts for one year.”
“Contestants will all have a base of one thousand martial points before the start. As long as you eliminate the others, you will be able to obtain all the martial points on the other person.”
“This Martial Election, is divided into four stages, and each stage lasts for three months. Each stage has its tasks, just go in and find out.”
“After one year, the one who holds the most martial points will be the first in the Martial Election, and Tai Hua Heaven will grant a reward at that time. At the same time, martial points can also be used to exchange resources and treasures.”
“In addition to this, Tai Hua Heaven has prepared a Mountain and River Manifestation for every cultivator who participates in the Martial Election, holding the Mountain and River Manifestation, and the places that have been explored are able to be displayed within the Mountain and River Manifestation.”
“After entering the small world opened up by Tai Hua Heaven, there are all kinds of labeled objects within the small world, and with the Mountain and River Manifestation, one can know how many Martial Points can be exchanged for each kind of labeled object.”
“In addition to that, those who hold the Mountain River Manifestation can decide whether or not they want to display their position throughout the entire secret realm.”
“Once this effect is turned on, it cannot be turned off.”
Just when Zhou Xuan thought that the other party was about to finish, he heard this voice that sounded like a bell turn in tone, “This Martial Election is slightly different from the previous one, the previous Tong Tian Grand Election was not one in ten thousand, the Emperor has mercy on all of you for not being able to cultivate easily, so all of you, if you find it difficult to live, you can silently recite renunciation in your hearts, and you will be teleported out.”
These words caused most of the people who participated in the Martial Election to stare blankly, and then rejoice.
This greatly increased the survival rate.
As for the various Holy Lands, many of the higher-ups couldn’t help but smile when they heard this.
The participants, although all of them had Heavenly Rank qualifications, not all of them were Heavenly Dao Foundation Builders.
After all, the number of Heavenly Rank qualifications would skyrocket every time the Great Election of Heaven approached, and they couldn’t afford to withstand such a large number of Heavenly Rank attrition even if they had tons of resources.
Therefore, only those who were of the upper Heavenly Rank and had outstanding talent would be Heavenly Dao Foundation Builders.
However, even if they were Heaven’s Path Foundation Builders, as long as they were unlucky enough to encounter those battle-improving Saint Bodies and Divine Bodies within the Martial Selection, it would be hard for them to escape perishing.
However, there were some smart people who couldn’t help but frown.
Why did the emperor suddenly change the rules? This was a bit out of character.
Could it really be compassion in his heart?
With the emperor’s unfathomable realm, the number of deaths in the Foundation Establishment realm wouldn’t even matter, right? Even if it was a special Saint Body and God Body, the other party probably wouldn’t put it in their eyes, right?
How is it that this term, it suddenly changed?
In an instant, a name appeared amongst many people’s hearts.
“Could it be because of Zhou Xuan?”
Zhou Xuan’s enlightenment in the Dao Enlightenment Realm was truly heaven-defying, and there were people who couldn’t calm their hearts whenever they thought about it in the past two days.
“If it’s because of Zhou Xuan, this makes sense.”
Because Zhou Xuan’s demonic enlightenment had caused the Emperor to look sideways and not wish for this little fellow to die, there was no harm in changing the rules slightly, as the general rules were unchanged.
Thinking about this, the more everyone thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
And the fact that Zhou Xuan was able to gain the Emperor’s favor was truly enviable. As long as Zhou Xuan did not die, after steadily reaching the Harmonization Realm, it was estimated that he would be able to be received by the Tai Hua Heaven and ascend.
However, there were also many who thought on second thought that whether the Emperor had made such a change was because amongst the special physiques of the Eastern Emperor Great Realm, there was a God Body that was too heaven-defying for the Emperor to feel that even if Zhou Xuan entered the Dao Fruit Stage with so many Dao Intentions, he would still not be able to fight against this God Body?
After all, if Zhou Xuan’s battle prowess was too strong, there was no need for this at all.
The Holy Lord of the Violet Sun Holy Land had thought of this as well, his brows furrowed, although when he had spoken with Zhou Xuan, he had hoped that the other party would not participate in the Martial Election.
However, he actually had confidence in Zhou Xuan.
The reason why he had summoned Zhou Xuan with a calm face was naturally because he was the Holy Lord, and even if he was ecstatic, it would be impossible for him to show it in such a revealing manner unless it was in front of his inner circle.
“Could it be that amongst the Divine Bodies of this term, there really is a Heaven-defying Divine Body?”
The Violet Sun Sacred Lord muttered.
After all, when Saint Bodies and God Bodies appeared in holy lands, the information had to be collected and reported to Tai Hua Heaven.
Therefore, Tai Hua Heaven was aware of the abilities and battle power of all Saint Bodies and God Bodies.
However, once he thought that the rules of this session of the Martial Election had changed, even if he couldn’t beat them, Zhou Xuan could still give up and come out alive.
Thinking about this, a stone fell from the heart of the Violet Sun Sacred Lord.
As long as one was smart enough to basically think of this, Zhou Xuan was naturally no exception, “No way, is there really one stronger than Laozi?”
Otherwise, why would the Emperor suddenly change the rules in this term.
He knew that there were only two sessions of the Great Election of the Tong Tian that Saint Bodies and Divine Bodies participated in, one for the previous session and one for this session.
There had been previous Great Elections of Tong Tian, but they were all attended by cultivators with some heavenly rank qualifications.
But the rules were all the same, and this session was suddenly changed, why?
One could only think to oneself.
After all, he was too anticlimactic during the civil election.
The emperor wouldn’t really be looking at him, would he?
But he didn’t need to ah.
Being able to read the file, even if this term’s divine body was heaven-defying, as long as there was a solution, a hint of a shortcoming, he would magnify the loophole and fuck the other party to death.
Do I need you, old Biden, to give me a break?
You’re not watering me down, you’re watering down everyone else!
