Late at night, my cousin and Fan Qingyan arrived at Tianzhou Imperial City together.

...

The next day, bells and drums sounded, and the sound of salutes echoed over the entire imperial city. There were luxurious chariots walking in the sky from time to time. Grand officials and nobles from all over the world gathered in the back garden of the palace. After washing and sorting out, under the leadership of my master and master, my senior sister, Su Yan, and my cousin walked towards the grand ceremony together.

There were traffic and horses, and there were endless people coming and going. The ceremony was chosen to worship the Temple of Heaven in the royal family. The circular venue was almost crowded. At first glance, there were no 100,000 or at least 50,000 viewers. The center was a square battle platform. The selection method of the upper world ceremony was rough and simple, and it was carried out by a one-on-one challenge. The final eight winners were qualified to enter the World Ceremony.

In the sky, three flying palaces stretched across, one of which belonged to the Empress Tianxin. The deep and profound aura of the holy Tao came from inside, which was surging and intimidating.

The other two flying halls stand the Linyuan Empire and the imperial flag of the Fire Feather Empire. Needless to think, the Linyuan Emperor and the Fire Feather Emperor have arrived in person. No wonder the imperial city is so vigilant. Not only are there the army of the Tianxin Empire, but also the army of the other two empires patrolling.

Sit down one by one, Shang Zhuyue arranged a very high position for us, and was extremely noble.

In the distance, with a long whisper, I saw a group of people flying into the venue at an astonishing speed. All of them were dressed in Confucian clothes, very familiar, with dozens of people in total.

"Who are these people, so arrogant?" my cousin asked with a smile.

"The people from the Linyuan Empire State Scholars' Mansion almost fought with us yesterday." I said.

"Hmph, so arrogant... I will never show mercy when I meet them on the battlefield." My cousin pursed her red lips, feeling an indescribable beauty.

Not long after, a group of strong men in crimson robes entered the venue in the distance. The leader's eyes blew sharply. His whole aura was like a sharp sword, which was fierce and fierce. The group of people around him were not weak. There were a few young saints, and the group of people were extraordinary. They jumped into the viewing table, hugging their arms in their arms, looking confident in their chests.

I frowned: "Who are these people?"

This time it was my cousin's turn to find out and whispered: "The people from Huoze Palace are said to be geniuses that Emperor Huoyu has carefully cultivated for many years. In the past few hundred years, the strength of the Tianxin Empire has generally gained an absolute advantage. Linyuan and Huoyu empires together are not opponents. Today, everyone from Huoze Palace has come. I believe that Emperor Huoyu has already felt that the time is ripe and wants to win back a city at the ceremony."

Lin Muzhao narrowed his beautiful eyes: "The person in charge should be Tan Rang, the chief master of Huoze Temple, the legendary Huoze Temple. He already has the late stage cultivation of the middle sword saint at a young age. It is said that in Huoze Temple, almost no one can catch Tan Rang's ten swords. This person's swordsmanship is very exaggerated. If we encounter it, be careful."

"Yeah, I got it." I nodded.

On the side, Master Shangguan Ziyi looked at the misty clouds in the distance with his deep eyes and smiled: "Xiaoxuan doesn't have to be careful. Among the younger generation at this grand ceremony, no one is your opponent. You have passed the stage of hiding your strength and protecting yourself. Now you just need to let go of your hands and make your academy famous."

Shangguan Nanfeng also nodded and smiled: "Yes..."

I was a little excited.

Although the master said that, I am not sure that my cousin and Su Yan can defeat them. However, even if the eight people are selected for the grand ceremony, I may not be able to meet them.

"Tianfeng Sword Saint, Bailu Sword Saint, it's been a long time since I was gone!"

In the air, a figure surrounded by mist shone brightly and bowed out of thin air. The man exuded the aura of a taboo-level powerful man, as if he was from a foreign land.

"It's not a master."

Master, Master and Master all share the gifts for you.

The figure of the man flashed away, and only then did my sword god barely capture his figure, and turned into an inconspicuous old monk. He sat in a faraway viewing table without a sage. Then, many unfathomable powerful men greeted the two sword saints. He was very kind. At this grand ceremony, he was really hidden and lying on the tiger!

At the same time, it also reflects that the master has improved his status after breaking through the titled Sword Saint. If they were still only the titled Sword Saint, I am afraid that the saint-level strong men would not be so polite to them. After all, the two taboo-level sword saints are already considered the top strong men in the upper world. Apart from the Divine Vine Tree, the strong men at the level of Ru Zun are no longer afraid of anyone.

At this time, Li Qingyin looked at me with beautiful eyes and said, "Foodies, you will start fighting beasts in a while. Are you ready?"

"Fighting beasts?" I was surprised.

"Yes..." She opened her mouth slightly, and was also very surprised: "You guy... can't you not read the roster and rules of the festival placed in the room at all, right?"

"I didn't pay attention..."

Suddenly, Li Qingyin was so beautiful that she was helpless and said, "That's right. In fact, the ceremony in the upper realm is only one day. In order to save time, the first game was a beast-hiding fight. All candidates were divided into thirty-two groups and entered the thirty-two battle stages. Only one person in each group could win, and directly determine the top thirty-two. This makes it simple. Just decide the strongest eight people from the thirty-two people."

"So that's it, no problem, I'm just a little bit..."

Lin Muzhao chuckled: "Junior brother, don't underestimate the enemy too much. Even if it's a trapped beast fight, you can separate you and a strong person in the same group."

"knew."

...

At this moment, a holy light of swordsmanship bloomed in the air. Shang Zhuyue's figure stood in the holy light. He held the imperial edict and began to read the will of the Empress Tianxin. He only welcomed guests from all sides to create immortal and glorious things in the upper world. After Shang Zhuyue finished reading it, a powerful general came to the air. It was Gu Peng, the leader of the ten generals. He held a military seal in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Now, start grouping!"

As he said that, Gu Peng suddenly broke the military seal in his hand. The military seal turned into countless pieces and flew to all parts of the venue as if he had spirituality. Several of them also flew towards my cousin, Li Qingyin, and Lin Muzhao, and fell in front of us one by one, resonating with the mark of life. The fragments of military seal in front of me burst into the words "Eleventh".

Group 11, that's right.

He caught Bing Zhang and looked up but touched Gu Peng's gaze. He knew me. We were born and died in the exile place and formed a certain amount of cause and effect. His eyes were also relatively friendly. He seemed to have regarded me as a member of his sect in the Ministry of War. In fact, this is the case. My cousin is also a member of the Ministry of War and is not a conservative person.

"Please ask all candidates to enter the corresponding battle platform of their respective groups and prepare to fight the beasts! Remember to click on it and stop, but if someone deliberately kills someone, he will be executed by lingchi!"

Gu Peng's voice contained holy power, echoing above the venue, constantly stimulating.

"Go."

Master, Master said calmly.

We nodded one after another, and the four of us turned into four rays of light and flew out. I went straight to the venue No. 11, and my cousin rushed to the battle platform No. 4, Li Qingyin was No. 13, and Lin Muzhao was No. 31. According to this grouping, we were destined not to meet in the duel.

"Swish--"

The moment my body fell into the battle platform, I suddenly felt that my whole body had become smaller rapidly. The battle platform, which originally seemed to be only ten feet in square meters, became extremely large. It turned out to be a refined magic weapon. When I really fell into the battle platform, the battle platform was as big as a valley, and there were even ancient trees and rocks everywhere.

There were still figures falling around me, falling into the battle platform, including saints and semi-saints.

This time, the Upper Realm Ceremony was different from the last time. It was because I chose a monk within a hundred years, and the last time I was a monk within a fifty years. So much so that Li Qingyin could become the number one person in the semi-saint realm. This time, there were many saints over the age of fifty, and it was extremely difficult to stand out.

In a flash, hundreds of people entered the battle stage, and there were quite a few candidates. According to such a grouping, the total number should be more than 3,000, including many outstanding people from all clans.

...

Most of the people didn't know each other, but three people from the Linyuan Empire's Sage Mansion gathered together and looked at me fiercely. The strongest one was the lower sword saint, who was about fifty years old, looked like a middle-aged man. He glanced at me with a gloomy look, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, even if you enter the thirty-two, it's enough to shine the lintel, but this group has a real strong man, Bu Yixuan, the master of the holy list... Why not, let's join forces and force Bu Yixuan out first?"

The other two members of the National People's Palace said together: "Agree!"

Most of the others chose to remain silent, but only a few showed a look of eagerness to try. Seeing this, the lower sword saint of the National Military Mansion continued: "This is a strategy, not for personal anger. We all want to contribute to the upper realm. We have great justice in the front. When everyone is brave and opportunity is the best, how can we give up the wise?"

This speech moved many people again, and finally dozens of strong men responded, saying, "Yes, although Bu Yixuan is strong, he may not be the most suitable person to go to the world ceremony. We are in front of us, why don't we fight? Force Bu Yixuan first, and then decide the outcome!"

Everyone is going to join in.

I couldn't help but smile, and suddenly my sword intent burst out all over my body, and I took action directly. The fire of the world swept around my body. With a finger, I burst out a wisp of the White Deer Sword Technique and headed straight to the lower sword saint of the National Si Mansion, saying: "If you can catch my three swords, I guarantee you to enter the thirty-two strengths, how about it?"

"So brave!"

The lower sword saint shouted loudly, pulled up, and the long sword swept into the air, colliding with my sword technique.

"Peng~~~"

He did have some skills. He was not completely at a disadvantage when the first sword was shaken together. He suddenly became jealous and raised his aura a lot, shouting loudly: "You, that's it!"

I smiled secretly, and the first sword only exerted 10% of its strength, just a test, but he actually took it seriously.

The second sword, forget the dust with one sword!

This time I used 50% of my strength.

"Peng!"

With a loud bang, the lower sword saint flew backwards and vomited blood. If I hadn't taken back most of the sword intent, this sword would have been enough to shatter it.

A dignified lower-ranking swordsman was defeated in just two moves, which immediately shocked the remaining two people in the National Si Mansion.

I stepped onto the battlefield in the chaotic world. With the wave of the Immortal Bone Sword, the shadow of the Four-Stack Sword Soul exploded, the world's fire swayed, and the pressure of the domain was surging, and he said in a deep voice: "You are all my opponents, retreat! Whoever dares to act rashly again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"boom--"
Chapter completed!
