Chapter 656: Competition for the Corpses of Mahayana Realm Green Demon Clan Members

Hearing Lingxiao Guanzhu's arrangement.

After a moment of contemplation, the assembled Mahayana realm experts all nodded in agreement without raising any objections.

Seeing everyone's tacit approval, Cen Zhe, standing among the crowd, nodded slightly and said:

"Very well. Since no one has any objections, let us proceed according to Lingxiao Guanzhu's arrangement!"

Then, Cen Zhe turned to Lingxiao Guanzhu and continued:

"Daoist Lingxiao, we leave this matter in your hands. Myself and our sect's Ancestor Xuanmu will return to Xuantian Sect first."

Having spoken, Cen Zhe offered a slight bow and then vanished into the void.

Nearby, Ancestor Xuanmu, who had been meditating with closed eyes and speaking no words, moved his form and instantly followed Cen Zhe, leaving the place.

Only the Xuanmu tree, condensed by Ancestor Xuanmu using the power of the rules, remained temporarily suspended in the high sky, not taken away by him.

After Cen Zhe and Ancestor Xuanmu departed, the other Mahayana realm experts, who disliked trouble, also took their leave one by one.

Not long after, only Lingxiao Guanzhu remained on the spot, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Fortunately, before leaving, the few Mahayana realm experts who departed last used their immortal artifacts to assist Lingxiao Guanzhu in completely extinguishing the life forces of the eleven sealed Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan.

This spared Lingxiao Guanzhu the need to employ his own methods.

Now that the immortal artifacts were no longer needed to restrain the Green Demon Clan's artifacts, it was still a trivial matter for the Mahayana realm experts controlling the immortal artifacts in the Di Xuan Realm to extinguish the life forces of ordinary Mahayana realm experts.

Just as Cen Zhe had once wielded the Xuantian Sword and slain a Mahayana realm cultivator who refused to obey the Di Xuan Realm Alliance's orders with three sword strikes.

At this moment, after several Mahayana realm experts jointly activated their immortal artifacts, the eleven sealed Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan had become eleven corpses.

After everyone had left, Lingxiao Guanzhu surveyed the eleven corpses of the Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan, pondered for a moment, and then sent a transmission message to each of the recently departed.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he stored the eleven corpses of the Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan and vanished into the void, flying towards the headquarters of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.

On the other side.

Back at Xuantian Sect, Cen Zhe, who had just parted with Ancestor Xuanmu, arrived alone at the peak of Xuantian Sect. With his hands clasped behind his back, he gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

The next round of arrangements by the Di Xuan Realm Alliance for comprehending the rule crystals is for cultivators who primarily cultivate the Water Rule.

However, among the several sealed Mahayana realm ancestors of Xuantian Sect, there are no predecessors who primarily cultivate the Water Rule.

Therefore, this time Cen Zhe does not need to go to the spiritual realm space at the core of the ten-tier spiritual vein to awaken the sect's ancestors who have been sealed for a long time.

"Voom!" "Voom!" "Voom!"

While casually gazing at the distant horizon, the transmission jade tablet carried by Cen Zhe suddenly trembled slightly.

The reason for the tremor in his transmission jade tablet was the recent message from Lingxiao Guanzhu.

Sending a wisp of spiritual sense into the transmission jade tablet, after receiving Lingxiao Guanzhu's message, Cen Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Is the victory determined by hunting the Green Demon Clan members lurking in various places of the Di Xuan Realm?"

The main content of the message sent by Lingxiao Guanzhu was the competition rules for the eleven corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan.

The rules were as follows:

Within a period of thirty years, the top five cultivators who accumulate the most points by killing Green Demon Clan members lurking in various places of the Di Xuan Realm will each receive the corresponding corpse of a Mahayana realm expert of the Green Demon Clan.

The cultivator ranked first in points will receive five corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan.

The cultivator ranked second in points will receive three corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan.

The cultivators ranked third to fifth in points will each receive one corpse of a Mahayana realm expert of the Green Demon Clan.

As for the calculation of points, the Di Xuan Realm Alliance has already marked the corresponding points for killing Green Demon Clan experts of different realms.

The final ranking will be based on the total points obtained by hunting the Green Demon Clan within these thirty years.

However, since these eleven corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan are intended by the Di Xuan Realm Alliance to cultivate more Mahayana realm experts in the shortest possible time,

only experts at the Tribulation Crossing realm are eligible to participate in this competition for the corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan.

Any Tribulation Crossing realm expert wishing to participate in this competition can go to the headquarters of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance during this period to collect a mission token, in order to record the corresponding points when killing members of the Green Demon Clan.

After understanding the detailed arrangements made by Lingxiao Guanzhu for the eleven corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan,

Cen Zhe's heart stirred, and he instantly transmitted this message to the Tribulation Crossing realm experts within Xuantian Sect.

After receiving Cen Zhe's transmission message,

the hall masters and deputy hall masters of the Pill Hall, Artifact Hall, Talisman Hall, Array Hall, Mission Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall of Xuantian Sect, along with the Law Enforcement Elders whose cultivation bases had reached the Tribulation Crossing realm,

immediately arranged their current affairs and then eagerly left Xuantian Sect.

In addition, there were many Tribulation Crossing realm experts within Xuantian Sect who were currently in seclusion for bitter cultivation, of terrifying seniority, and had long ignored worldly matters; they also broke through their seclusion one after another.

Then they flew towards the direction of the headquarters of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.

In just half a cup of tea time, the number of Tribulation Crossing realm experts leaving Xuantian Sect had already exceeded one hundred, and the number continued to increase.

The fluctuating auras caused by their excitement were enough to show the attraction that the corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan held for them.

The world essence obtained after sacrificing a single corpse of a Mahayana realm expert of the Green Demon Clan would probably be enough to make up for the bitter cultivation of thousands, or even tens of thousands of years for these Tribulation Crossing realm experts.

At the same time, outside Xuantian Sect,

Tribulation Crossing realm experts from various regions and sects of the Di Xuan Realm also moved upon hearing the news.

Even some independent Tribulation Crossing realm cultivators and Tribulation Crossing realm experts in the endless seas of the Di Xuan Realm were no exception.

Although the killing of these eleven Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan was the joint achievement of the human race's Mahayana realm experts,

logically, only the factions from which these Mahayana realm experts originated should have the qualification to divide these eleven corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan.

But Lingxiao Guanzhu had the idea of taking this opportunity to conduct a large-scale purge of the hidden Green Demon Clan cultivators within the Di Xuan Realm.

Therefore, for this grand competition for the eleven corpses of Mahayana realm experts of the Green Demon Clan, apart from the restriction on cultivation base, Lingxiao Guanzhu did not impose any restrictions on the origin of the cultivators.

After sending the message to the Mahayana realm experts, Lingxiao Guanzhu also simultaneously contacted the various branches of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance to transmit the message to all Tribulation Crossing realm experts within the Di Xuan Realm.

Since the headquarters and branches of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance were successively established,

apart from the high-level cultivators within the major hegemonic powers, the Di Xuan Realm Alliance has registered all other high-level cultivators within the Di Xuan Realm and kept their transmission imprints.

This was done so that in the future, when dealing with sudden situations caused by the Green Demon Clan, all high-level cultivators within the Di Xuan Realm could be mobilized in time to fight the enemy.

It was precisely for this reason that Lingxiao Guanzhu could, through the Di Xuan Realm Alliance, transmit this information to all Tribulation Crossing realm experts within the Di Xuan Realm in an extremely short time. Immediately, after receiving the transmission message, Tribulation Crossing realm experts from all parts of the Di Xuan Realm instantly vanished into the void and rushed towards the location of the headquarters of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.

Above Xuantian Peak, Cen Zhe stood with hands clasped behind his back, gazing down at the Xuantian Mountain Range that stretched endlessly and covered an entire prefecture.

Sensing the Tribulation Crossing realm experts breaking through their seclusion one by one across the Xuantian Mountain Range, eager to leave the Xuantian Sect, he smiled slightly but said nothing.

Moments later, Cen Zhe looked up again, glancing at two different directions, and said with some regret:

"It is a pity that Qingxuan is still far from the Tribulation Crossing realm, and Tai An has shown no signs of breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing realm since he began his seclusion."

"Otherwise, my two disciples might have had a chance to obtain the corpse of the Mahayana realm Green Demon Clan."

In the vast Di Xuan Realm, tracking and hunting the Green Demon Clan lurking within would be twice the effort for half the result if one relied solely on aimless searching.

No one could be fully confident of ranking high during the hunt for the Green Demon Clan.

To stand alone at the top, besides having advantages in cultivation base and tracking methods, luck was sometimes an element that could not be ignored.

Therefore, in this competition for the corpse of the Mahayana realm Green Demon Clan, even cultivators at the early stage of the Tribulation Crossing realm might not be unable to break into the top five.

Just then, the look of regret on Cen Zhe's face froze; he suddenly turned toward a certain direction and said with great surprise: "Is this an extraordinary phenomenon generated when the Five Elements Rules broke through and entered the Great Perfection level?"

Far in the direction Cen Zhe was looking, faint five-colored rays of light rose into the sky, evolving into various extraordinary phenomena at the distant horizon.

However, the source of these phenomena did not seem to be in this space.

Thus, the five-colored rays of light rising into the sky were not numerous; the various phenomena they evolved were not only small but also extremely vague.

Concealed by the Sect Protection Array, only Cen Zhe could see this phenomenon.

Had Cen Zhe not been out of seclusion at this moment, even Cen Zhe, whose spiritual sense was usually restrained during seclusion, would not have sensed this fluctuation of the phenomenon.

After pondering for a moment, Cen Zhe seemed to realize something; his eyes brightened slightly, and he said with some excitement:

"The source of the phenomenon is not in this space. This direction seems to be the location of the Sect's Rules Secret Realm. The one breaking through is primarily cultivating the rare Five Elements Rules. Could it be that Tai An's Rules realm has broken through?"

Thinking this, Cen Zhe moved slightly and vanished from the spot instantly.

When he reappeared, Cen Zhe had arrived at a very special space.

This space was vast, covering half the area of the Xuantian Mountain Range.

Moreover, everywhere in this space were various manifested or semi-manifested Rules.

These chaotic types of Rules either intertwined to evolve into various extraordinary phenomena and auroras, or transformed into various materials, living beings, and special domain barriers.

After maintaining for a certain period, the various extraordinary phenomena, auroras, materials, living beings, and special domain barriers would revert back into their corresponding Rules.

During this process, the freely evolving Rules would condense and emit various Rule Dao Rhymes, spreading throughout this space.

The entire space was filled with these Rule Dao Rhymes, which were sufficient to easily cause cultivators to enter a state of Dao comprehension.

This massive space was precisely one of the more important inheritance secret realms of the Xuantian Sect: the Rules Secret Realm.

In the Di Xuan Realm, before their lifespans ended and they dissolved into the Dao, high-level cultivators of past generations would strip out their own Source of Rules and embed them into the Rules Secret Realm.

Leveraging the special nature of the Rules Secret Realm, their Source of Rules could remain in this space for a long time, gradually growing and manifesting as corresponding Rules.

Through the accumulation of generations, this treasure land of the Xuantian Sect's Rules Secret Realm was created.

Inside the Rules Secret Realm, not far in front of Cen Zhe.

At this moment, someone was sitting cross-legged in mid-air with eyes slightly closed, surrounded by Five Elements Rules.

The Five Elements Rules spread lightly in all directions, emitting dazzling five-colored rays of light that constantly flowed and merged, evolving into various mysterious extraordinary phenomena and small worlds.

This person was none other than Liu Tai An, who had entered the Rules Secret Realm for seclusion to seek a breakthrough after bidding farewell to Ye Qingxuan last time.

Witnessing this scene, Cen Zhe smiled and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

After a long time, the Five Elements Rules surrounding Liu Tai An slowly receded into his body, and the various extraordinary phenomena they had evolved gradually dissipated.

Once everything returned to calm, Liu Tai An slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Cen Zhe not far in front of him, Liu Tai An asked with some surprise:

"Master, why have you come?"

Hearing Liu Tai An's question, Cen Zhe chuckled and said:

"At this critical moment of your breakthrough, I, your Master, naturally must personally guard you."

Before Liu Tai An could speak, Cen Zhe continued to ask: "After breaking through the Rules, do you now have the confidence to break through to the Tribulation Crossing realm in one go?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tai An pondered for a moment, calculated in his mind, and then slowly shook his head, saying: "The Heavenly and Earthly Thunder Tribulation during the breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing realm is no ordinary matter. Disciple does not currently have full confidence to survive it."

"However, after Disciple uses the power of the Five Elements Rules just broken through to carefully temper and refine the body, Primordial Spirit, and Spiritual Power Void Realm over a period of less than a hundred years."

"Disciple will then certainly have full confidence to successfully survive the tribulation and break through to the Tribulation Crossing realm in one go."

When breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing realm, cultivators no longer need to break and reshape their Spiritual Power Void Realm, so even if their control over the power of Rules is slightly weaker, it does not matter.

As long as the strength and stability of the cultivator's body, Primordial Spirit, and Spiritual Power Void Realm are sufficient to withstand the continuous baptism of the Heavenly and Earthly Thunder Tribulation, the cultivator can succeed in the breakthrough.

"A hundred years?"

Hearing his disciple's answer, Cen Zhe fell into deep thought on the spot.

Just as Liu Tai An, somewhat puzzled, was about to speak and ask.

Cen Zhe suddenly waved his sleeve, producing two Divine Stones emitting dazzling light, and a massive stone that looked ordinary but appeared extremely heavy.

"This is a Taixu Divine Stone, a Taixu Refined Stone, and a Ninth-Order World-Subduing Stone Core."

"Both the Taixu Divine Stone and the Taixu Refined Stone are extremely rare Ninth-Order natural treasures that can only be born in the Void or the Heavenly Abyss."

"Among them, the Taixu Divine Stone can accelerate the speed at which your Rules refine your Primordial Spirit and directly enhance the foundation of your Primordial Spirit; the Taixu Refined Stone can accelerate the speed at which your Rules refine your physical body and strengthen your flesh."

"As for that Ninth-Order World-Subduing Stone Core, only one can be condensed from every Ninth-Order World-Subduing Stone vein over tens of thousands of years."

"After extracting the essence within the World-Subduing Stone Core and integrating it into your Spiritual Power Void Realm, it can raise the stability of your Spiritual Power Void Realm by one level within a short time."

"With the Taixu Divine Stone, the Taixu Refined Stone, and this Ninth-Order World-Subduing Stone Core, you will have enough to complete all accumulations within five years and successfully survive the Heavenly and Earthly Thunder Tribulation to break through to the Tribulation Crossing realm."
