Chapter 185 The first round of the competition begins! (
The morning came slowly, and a hint of paleness appeared in the sky.
The Fallen Mountains, which had been silent all night, gradually returned to their noisy state.
At this moment, in the vast Fallen Mountain Range, every mountain top, mountainside, bottom and even cliff was filled with figures. At first glance, it looked like endless ants.
On the top of one of the eight main peaks, Gu Yi opened his eyes and slowly exhaled.
"It's about to start…"
Xiao Yixiang, Qinglin, Xiaowu and Liu Fei also woke up, with excitement in their eyes.
Having seen so many talented people these days, they are also filled with fighting spirit and want to fight with these geniuses to verify their own martial arts training.
Just as Gu Yi said, in martial arts practice, if you don't make progress, you will regress.
If you want to become stronger, proper martial arts sparring and fighting are inevitable.
What's more, according to what Gu Yi said to them last night, there are many good opportunities in this first round that can help them improve their strength.
Boom! !
A hurricane blew up from the sky, and suddenly a figure appeared out of nowhere above the vast plain in the center of the Fallen Mountains.
He was an old man, his body was as white as snow, his hair and beard were also as white as snow, and he was unforgettable after just one look at him.
The old man stood in the void, looking around at the crowd in the Fallen Mountain Range. Just a casual glance made everyone present feel that the old man was looking at them.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am the messenger of the Divine Palace, Xue Wuchang. I will be the supervisor of this Snow Region Competition."
Xue Wuchang's eyes were calm, and his voice resounded throughout the Fallen Heaven Mountains:
"Now, all the young talents selected by the four great empires should come before me and stand in the four directions so that I can distinguish them clearly."
The Prince Jun Moxi of the Longshan Empire took the lead. He took a step and suddenly his body flew into the air and landed in the eastern area.
"Everyone from the Longshan Empire, come to my side." Jun Moxi said calmly.
For a moment, figures flashed one after another, and the geniuses of the Longshan Empire and the two vassal states of Xueyue and Tianfeng all gathered around him.
"Let's go." Gu Yi smiled faintly and took the people from Yunhai Sect out.
Among the ten people from Xueyue Country who participated in the Snow Region Competition, seven were from his Yunhai Sect.
In addition to Gu Yi and the four girls of Xiao Yixian, there are two others, namely Lin Feng and Gu Xiao.
This scale is even larger than those major forces in the four empires.
At the same time, Di Ling, Xue Sha and others flew out and stood on the south, west and north respectively.
In a short while, thirty-six talented young men from each of the four empires, a total of one hundred and forty-four people, gathered together in the void.
Everyone looked up at these geniuses, their eyes excited and fiery.
These are the strongest talents in the Snow Region and the best of the younger generation in the Snow Region. They represent the future of the Snow Region.
Today, they will face a brutal competition. Many geniuses will die, but many people will also stand out, get opportunities in the competition, and grow into overlords in the future.
Xue Wuchang glanced at everyone and nodded slightly, "One hundred and forty-four geniuses, very good, I hope you will go all out in the Snow Region Competition, because this competition may determine your future and destiny!"
"Okay, let me tell you the rules of this first round."
"The land beneath your feet is the Fallen Devil Realm. Once you step into it, no matter how powerful your cultivation is, you will fall and be suppressed to the first level of the Xuanwu Realm. Moreover, your martial souls, the power in your body, and even the martial arts you practice will be suppressed and cannot be used."
"In the Fallen Demon Realm, only the magical powers and spells acquired through training there are recognized!"
Xue Wuchang's words were very plain, but they made everyone's pupils shrink and their hearts became extremely solemn.
Once you enter the Fallen Demon Realm, your cultivation will be restricted to the first level of Xuanwu?
In this way, the advantage of the strong in cultivation will be temporarily eliminated, and the weak will also be qualified to fight against the strong.
In the Fallen Demon Realm, everyone will return to the same starting point. Anyone can have a chance, it all depends on personal talent and understanding.
This is also a different kind of fairness.
Some geniuses who were relatively weak, only at the fifth or sixth level of Xuanwu, showed excitement in their eyes when they thought of this.
This way, they wouldn't have to face the eight most powerful people and be wiped out in an instant.
"These are seeds of opportunity, one for each of you." Xue Wuchang said loudly, and suddenly golden balls of light appeared in his hands.
"When you step into the Fallen Demon Realm, with this seed, you can choose a martial art to practice. In addition, this seed has benefits that you can't imagine."
"I hope you can make the seeds of opportunity play their greatest effect."
Xue Wuchang waved his hand, and a ball of light flew out, flying towards the geniuses of the four empires.
The geniuses stared at the golden ball of light flying towards them and let it land between their eyebrows.
In an instant, one hundred and forty-four geniuses all had a golden light between their eyebrows, which was extremely clear and dazzling.
"Well, you guys are now entering the Fallen Demon Realm. This place was built after ten years of planning by my Divine Palace, which used a large amount of treasures and resources, and combined it with the ancient ruins of the Fallen Mountain Range itself. This opportunity is rare, even in the previous Snow Region Competitions, it has never been available. You must cherish it."
After saying that, Xue Wuchang waved his hand, and the psychedelic aura above the Fallen Demon Realm continued to float upwards.
"The Fallen Demon Realm, I'd like to see it for myself." The eyes of the Blood Emperor Ling of the Sky flashed, and he took a step forward and flew into the fog.
Gu Yi, Xue Sha, Ling Xiao, Ku Mu and others followed suit and all stepped into the Fallen Demon Realm.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Wuchang was the only one left in the void, and all 144 talented young men stepped into it.
At this moment, the fog covering the sky above the Fallen Demon Realm gradually dissipated, as if the clouds had cleared to reveal the sun, revealing its true face to the crowd watching the battle outside.
In that vast plain space, mountains, rivers, jungles and ancient temples are scattered all over the Fallen Demon Realm.
The 144 geniuses who entered also appeared in different places in the Fallen Demon Realm. Their every move was clearly seen by people outside.
Although the fog has dissipated, there is still a layer of light waves above the Fallen Demon Realm, playing a special role.
"It's started! The first round of the Snow Region Competition has begun!" The crowd was noisy, looking at the people inside with fiery eyes.
"The Tomb of the Blood Emperor of Heaven is there!"
"That's the prince!"
"Where's the Sect Master?"
Everyone in the Yunhai Sect looked around the Fallen Demon Realm, looking for traces of Gu Yi, Lin Feng and the others.
After a while, they saw Gu Yi appear on an island in a lake.
…
In the Fallen Demon Realm.
Gu Yi looked at the sparkling lake around him and fell into deep thought.
The moment he stepped in here, he felt a powerful force acting on him, which was about to suppress most of his strength, such as true essence, Buddha and devil power, blood power, star power, etc., to the level of the first level of Xuanwu.
As for the three martial souls of blood, bone and star, they all fell into a dormant state and could not be used.
Even if the true energy in the body wants to circulate regularly in the meridians along a specific trajectory, it will be interrupted by this force.
Because contestants are not allowed to use their own martial arts here, they can only use the martial arts learned here.
However, there are no restrictions on artistic conception, and Gu Yi can still use it.
Gu Yi estimated that the power of the Fallen Demon Realm that could restrict cultivation had already exceeded the scope of Tianwu and had some relationship with the Holy Mark.
Obviously, this was arranged by the venerable of the shrine.
Unless Gu Yi uses his strongest trump cards, such as the magnetic field, the five-colored sun, the space scroll, the Nine-Sky Blue Dragon Cauldron, etc.
Otherwise, there is no chance of breaking its shackles and maintaining full strength.
It would just be too conspicuous to do so.
So Gu Yi let it imprison his power.
Gu Yi looked up at the sky and found that in addition to mountains and rivers, there were also countless stars.
Gu Yi took a quick glance and immediately calculated that there were a total of 143 points of starlight, corresponding to the other contestants.
"Fei'er, Xiaowu and the others are over there..."
Gu Yi's heart moved, and he communicated with the gates of the heavens.
Relying on the soul imprint left in the consciousness of Xiao Wu and the others, Gu Yi knew their location and distance.
However, Gu Yi did not go to meet them immediately.
Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin are both very powerful and have special physiques.
Even if his strength is suppressed to the first level of Xuanwu Realm, he is not weaker than Di Ling, Xue Sha and other top geniuses.
Liu Fei and Xiao Wu, who are weaker, have several mysterious weapons on them, either for attack or defense.
Even after being suppressed by the rules of the Fallen Demon Realm, it still has the power of a low-grade Xuan weapon, no weaker than a Xuanwu first-level warrior.
I also have some elixirs on me that can quickly restore the consumed true energy.
They have enough power to protect themselves.
Moreover, before entering the Fallen Demon Realm, Gu Yi had already told them the rules here in advance, and reminded them that the first thing they should do after entering the Fallen Demon Realm is to find the temple and learn the martial arts there.
Gu Yi's top priority now is to collect opportunity seeds and enter the temple to exchange for martial arts.
Speaking of temples, Gu Yi looked around the island and the lake where he was, and immediately found an ancient temple that seemed real and unreal.
If you look closely at the temple, you can vaguely see that its gate looks like an arrow.
"The Temple of Arrows. This is suitable for Fei'er."
Gu Yi smiled and stepped in.
Now all his martial arts are forbidden to be used. If he wants to exert his strength to the maximum, he still has to learn a martial art from the temple.
As soon as he stepped into the temple, Gu Yi saw seven arrows stuck in the ground.
There were dots of starlight on these seven arrows, exactly the same as the seed between Gu Yi's eyebrows.
The silver arrow on the far left has a little starlight, and the six arrows behind it have two points of starlight, three points of starlight, and so on until seven points of starlight.
There was a slight connection between the two.
Gu Yi could clearly feel that as long as he wanted, he could release the seed between his eyebrows and then gain something from these arrows.
But it was obvious that since he only had one seed, he could only get what was in the first arrow.
If Gu Yi wants to get better things, he must have more seeds.
There is only one way to get more seeds, and that is to kill other contestants and plunder the seeds between their eyebrows!
Gu Yi, who knew the rules of the first round from the beginning, looked calm and did not hesitate too much.
The first second after entering the temple, his mind moved, and he used the starlight between his eyebrows to communicate with the first arrow, and a star bridge appeared between the two.
In an instant, Gu Yi only felt a silver arrow shooting towards him at a high speed from an extremely distant place, and a howling wind blew wherever it passed.
This is an archery martial art, and its grade is at least lower earth level.
Gu Yi sat cross-legged in the temple, quickly visualizing the arrow just now, comprehending the mystery behind it, and trying to learn this martial art as much as possible.
In a blink of an eye, several hours passed. Gu Yi opened his eyes and the true energy in his body surged out, condensing into a silver arrow, with whirling winds around it.
Its appearance and aura are exactly the same as the arrow on the far left of the temple!
In just a few hours, Gu Yi learned the charm and power of this archery technique.
And this speed is terrifying.
If other geniuses came to learn this lower-grade earth-level archery martial art, they would at most be able to get started in these few hours, understand the basics, and learn the form but not the spirit.
As for learning some of the spirit, understanding the essence of martial arts, and reaching a small level of success, it will take at least a few days.
"I have learned the Wind Arrow to a small degree. It's time to go out and get more starlight seeds." Gu Yi nodded slightly, stood up, opened the door of the temple, and walked out.
Just relying on the Feng Jue Arrow which has a bit of spiritual charm, he, who is now suppressed at the first level of Xuanwu, can greatly increase his strength and it will be easy for him to kill geniuses at the same level.
Moreover, Feng Jue Arrow is only a one-star martial arts inheritance and is not worth Gu Yi's investment of too much energy.
With this time, he might as well seize other people's star seeds in exchange for a better temple inheritance.
Gu Yi did not forget that this Fallen Demon Realm could only support the appearance of three Seven-Star Heritages at most.
Afterwards, this Fallen Demon Realm, which has consumed a huge amount of resources and integrated many ancient relics, will collapse, and the first round of the Snow Realm Competition will end.
So before that, Gu Yi must obtain enough starlight seeds.
He must get at least two of the three seven-star inheritances.
Moreover, he also tried his best to help Xiao Yixiang, Qinglin and others get six-star and five-star opportunities in the temple.
You have to know that the Seven Star inheritance is no worse than some heavenly-level magical powers and martial arts. It can also create some special environments for enlightenment, allowing Gu Yi to enhance his artistic conception.
The other geniuses had the same thought after understanding the relationship between the temple, inheritance, and star seeds.
Most of them exchanged one-star martial arts in the temple, practiced for a while, and then walked out of the temple to start hunting other people and accumulate more starlight seeds.
So when Gu Yi walked out of the temple, the starlight in the sky above the Fallen Demon Realm had decreased a lot, which meant that many people had died.
And in some places, there are not just one starlight, but two or even three.
This means they kill other people and take their starlight.
Gu Yi felt the situation of Xiao Wu and the others and found that Liu Fei and Xiao Wu had not moved.
Apparently they were staying in a temple, comprehending the martial arts they had just acquired.
As long as they don't want to leave, they can stay in the temple for up to one day.
At the end of each day, the temple gate will automatically open and expel the people inside.
After all, the original intention of the Shrine to set up the Fallen Demon Realm was for the Snow Realm Competition, in order to let the geniuses fight for life and death.
This will help to select the geniuses with the strongest strength, talent and understanding.
Naturally, they would not be allowed to stay in the temple forever.
As for Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin, they were out on the move.
Gu Yi followed the soul's perception and looked into the distance, and found that there were two and three points of starlight in their directions respectively.
"Not bad." Gu Yi nodded.
For other geniuses, the poison of the Evil Poison Body and the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils that can control multiple snake-like monsters are still too strong.
In addition, Gu Yi also communicated with the Blood God Gu Xiao through telepathy and found that he was still in the temple.
It was a gun temple, and he acquired a gun martial art.
A hint of joy appeared in Gu Yi's eyes, "It seems that the clone is lucky to have encountered a gun temple."
"For the first Seven Star Inheritance, choose the one from the Temple of the Spear."
There are many temples in the Fallen Demon Realm, each with different opportunities and inheritances, and each has a different degree of preciousness.
Because some temples are built by the shrine itself, with smaller investment; others are expanded on the basis of ancient ruins, and the heritage inside is left by ancient powerful people, some are strong and some are weak.
For example, the inheritance in the Buddha and Demon Temple.
If Gu Yi guessed correctly, there was a high probability that the items inside were left by the Three Lives Emperor! !
Just like the statue of Buddha and Demon left by Emperor Sansheng in the cave under the Tianqian Cliff of Yunhai Sect, it is the continuation of the Nine-Turn Buddha and Demon Art.
The purpose is to lead Lin Feng onto a similar path as his, so that he can learn the Three Lives Sutra one day.
The Temple of Gun that Gu Xiao found was equally extraordinary.
Gu Yi could feel that once he obtained the Seven-Star Martial Arts inheritance, his gun state of mind would be greatly improved.
"Then, let the killing begin." Gu Yi's eyes flashed coldly, and he asked Gu Xiao to come out of the temple and start hunting with him.
His figure flew into the air, heading towards a direction with two points of starlight.
Qinglin just happened to be in that direction, so he could meet her along the way.
Swish!
The wind energy around Gu Yi surged, making his figure as fast as an arrow. In a blink of an eye, he crossed a mountain. His speed was so fast that it was not at all what a Xuanwu level 1 person could do.
The man with two points of starlight was also coming towards Gu Yi, and seemed to want to plunder the starlight seeds on Gu Yi's body.
In just a few breaths, the two met.
The young man's pupils shrank, and he looked horrified: "Snow Moon King Gu Yi!"
After one night, the identity of Gu Yi, who destroyed Taishu's family, had already spread throughout the Fallen Mountains and even the entire Lost City.
The geniuses of the four empires paid special attention to Gu Yi.
This is one of the eight most powerful geniuses who can compete with Cang Tian Xue Di Ling and has the greatest hope of winning the first place in the Snow Region Competition.
The consensus of everyone is that they must not attack the eight most powerful geniuses. Even in the Fallen Demon Realm, everyone's cultivation has been suppressed to the first level of the Xuanwu Realm.
You have to know how many powerful people of the same level Gu Yi killed in the maze city.
When the young man saw that the person he wanted to hunt was Gu Yi, he regretted it so much.
He quickly stopped and ran backwards with all his might.
"Stay." Gu Yi's eyes were cold. He waved his hand and an arrow of true energy condensed out. Then he used his body as a bow and shot it out fiercely.
Swoosh!
The Wind Arrow whipped up a gust of wind, like a roaring dragon, and in an instant it came behind the young man and swallowed him up.
The young man roared, formed a seal with his hands, and collided fiercely with the Feng Jue Arrow.
Boom!
The powerful force knocked the young man away. He felt pain all over his body and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The young man exchanged a set of powerful seals in the temple, but unfortunately his understanding of the seals was not deep, and the power was not as strong as Gu Yi's Fengjue Arrow.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Gu Yi once again condensed a few true energy arrows and fired them continuously, one after another, at the young man.
The young man roared, but unfortunately this time, he was unable to block Gu Yi's attack.
His true energy was constantly being consumed, and when his strength dropped to a certain level, he was pierced through the heart by an arrow, and died beyond all possibility of death.
Two points of starlight flew out from the smoke and appeared between Gu Yi's eyebrows.
He now has three stars.
However, one point has been used. If he wants to obtain the most powerful inheritance of the temple, he still needs five points of starlight.
"Continue." Gu Yi looked around and found three people gathered not far away, seemingly fighting each other.
They have two points of starlight, two points of starlight, and three points of starlight respectively.
According to Gu Yi's perception, one of them was Qing Lin.
Gu Yi moved very quickly and arrived at a valley, where he saw Qing Lin fighting with two people.
However, the other two were surrounded by Qinglin and were suppressed the whole time.
Beside Qinglin, there were several first-level Black Tortoise dragons and snake monsters, cooperating with Qinglin to deal with the two men.
These dragon monsters were the ones that pulled the sedan chair and were snatched from Duan Wudao by Gu Yi when he set up the Nine Palaces Dragon Trapping Formation in Xiangjiang River that day.
There are mottled blood in their bodies, so they cannot be considered true dragons, but they have a lot of blood from snake-like monsters.
So Qinglin can use the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils to subdue them.
"It seems that Qinglin can deal with them alone without my help." Gu Yi smiled.
With these dragon monsters around, Qinglin can easily set up the Nine Palaces Dragon Trapping Formation and kill the two one by one.
Having said that, Gu Yi still shot a few arrows to help Qing Lin capture the two men.
Time waits for no one, and he and Qinglin need to collect enough starlight seeds as soon as possible.
"Young Master Yi!" Qinglin's eyes curved like crescent moons, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Gu Yi rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Okay, you kill these two people."
Qing Lin shook his head: "Master, just kill them. With these five starlight seeds, you can exchange them for a set of seven-star martial arts in the temple."
"No hurry, the first round is still early." Gu Yi said in a voice transmission: "If I exchange for the first seven-star inheritance, then the rules of the Fallen Demon Realm will change, and everyone's cultivation will be restored."
"It will be difficult to gather all the starlight seeds you need."
Once everyone's strength is restored, if they see Gu Yi's side, so many people have four or five points of starlight, adding up to more than twenty points.
Except for Jun Moxi, the six most powerful geniuses in the Imperial Mausoleum will definitely join forces to deal with Gu Yi and the others.
At that time, it will be more difficult for Gu Yi to hide his strength.
It would be better for them to take advantage of the limitation of their cultivation level, give full play to their advantages and concentrate the starlight first.
After hearing what Gu Yi said, Qing Lin no longer refused and immediately shot out an energy beam, collecting the five points of starlight.
Qinglin only used a little starlight to exchange for a martial arts skill, and now she has six points of starlight available.
"Let's go and meet up with Xian'er, Xiaowu and the others."
The Little Medical Fairy was not far away from the two of them and they would soon be together.
Xiao Wu and Liu Fei, after receiving Gu Yi's soul transmission, came out of the temple one after another.
On the way, Gu Yi killed a genius with three starlight points, and had six starlight points between his eyebrows.
And so many stars naturally attracted other geniuses to gather together.
Some people saw Gu Yi from afar and fled quickly.
However, there were a few unlucky people who were entangled by Gu Yi's arrows before they could escape.
Then Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin on the side surrounded them and took their starlight into their pockets.
During this period, Gu Yi and his companions also encountered Xue Sha and Ku Mu, but were all defeated.
Qinglin controls quite a few monsters.
Even though they are all quite powerful, they are all at the first level of Xuanwu, so it is impossible for them to break through the monster beast.
Time passed little by little, and one day had passed since everyone stepped into the Fallen Demon Realm.
The starlight between Gu Yi's eyebrows finally gathered to eight points, while Qing Lin still had seven points.
The starlight of Xiao Yixiang, Xiao Wu and Liu Fei are five o'clock, four o'clock and four o'clock respectively.
After all, the surviving geniuses become stronger as time goes by, and they have all achieved some success in the martial arts they exchanged from the temple.
Some even possess two martial arts skills, one for body movement and one for attack.
Therefore it is extremely difficult to kill or capture.
What's more, when five people gathered together, there were more than twenty points of starlight in the sky, and ordinary geniuses didn't dare to get close.
"Well, let's just leave it at that." Gu Yi shook his head.
Just now, he could see in the distance that someone's star had reached eight points.
That was Lin Feng. It seemed that he was about to enter the Buddha and Demon Temple to exchange for a seven-star inheritance.
The rules of the Fallen Demon Realm are about to be broken.
Gu Yi sent Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin and the other three girls to temples suitable for them, allowing them to exchange and practice martial arts.
And Gu Yi came to a star temple.
This was the second temple chosen by Gu Yi and suitable for him.
As for the Temple of the Gun, it was handed over to Gu Xiao who had exchanged it there before.
The starlight seeds in his body also reached eight points!
In front of the two temples in the Fallen Demon Realm, Gu Yi and the Blood God pushed open the temple doors together and walked in.
Just at this moment, the Fallen Demon Realm suddenly trembled, and a rumbling buzzing sound rang in everyone's ears.
The invisible light waves covering the Fallen Demon Realm began to show cracks!
Outside the Fallen Demon Realm, Xue Wuchang looked as usual, not at all surprised by this scene.
Are the rules finally going to be broken? Someone has forcibly broken through the constraints of the first level of Xuanwu cultivation, but I don't know who it is...
Next, the cultivation of everyone in the Fallen Demon Realm will be restored!
This first round of bloody battle will also enter its climax.
(End of this chapter)
