Chapter 207: The World Situation Shrinks into One City

"First, the Wu Xiu who received the invitations and the assisting Wu Xiu must not be over thirty years old, and their cultivation must not reach the Dao Seed Realm or Spirit Intent Master."

"Second, military formations cannot be used in the city. But combined attack arrays, insect swarms, runes, magic tools, etc., are not restricted."

Military formations were trained over long periods, with essence, Qi, and spirit and fighting intent stacked, and could even condense into the army's own combat intent and will, which was fundamentally different from combined attack arrays formed by a few Wu Xiu or a dozen Wu Xiu.

If the army participated, there would be no need to hold the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival.

"Third, Qiuzhouzhou city is the arena for this Hidden Dragon struggle. Once you leave the boundary line of the outer city wall, it counts as voluntarily giving up the struggle. There is no outer city wall in the Nancheng; the boundary is the light veil of the defensive array on the Ancestor Ze."

"Fourth, there are many residents in the city who have not left; you must not kill the innocent indiscriminately, and you must not attack Wu Xiu who do not hold invitations without reason. Violating this rule will result in execution by the twelve patrolling immortal envoys."

"The twelve patrolling immortal envoys are the twelve Dueguan disciples behind me. For the next fifteen days, they will walk in the entire city, supervising whether everyone is following the rules, and have the right to drive away and kill."

A young voice sounded loudly amidst the discussion: "Your regulations are too vague! All forces will certainly invite many young Wu Xiu and great Intent Masters to assist; how to judge whether we are attacking them without reason? Before they set up their formations, can I make a move? Can I strike first against parties that are already hostile?"

It was Shi Shishi Shi's voice.

The little fatty was located on the right side of the Profound Heaven Square, near the periphery.

Li Li Youyi thought for a moment, moving through the crowd, moving toward the direction where Shi Shishi Shi's voice came from.

The Dueguan immortal master laughed: "This rule is intended to limit you from killing the innocent indiscriminately. The patrolling envoys of the Dueguan have long studied all of you; right and wrong, they have their own judgment in their hearts."

"In this Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, those with stronger cultivation seem to get more, but they are also targeted more; they can only welcome the challenge, cannot retreat, and cannot hide. Those with weaker cultivation, on the contrary, have more choices."

Continuing to announce the rules: "Participating Wu Xiu who seize all Dragon Seed tickets or all Dragon Bone tickets of any realm in the East, South, West, or North can be rewarded with an extra Longevity Pill. And they will have the opportunity to enter the Dueguan to cultivate, and the temple master will take out the most precious treasures to personally reshape their trace meridians, Wind Mansion, and Ancestral Field, creating the strongest cultivation foundation."

Once this was said, there was no lack of shock.

A mysterious expert of the First Rank from the Northern Region: "Reshaping trace meridians... can it forge golden meridians?"

The Dueguan immortal master laughed: "The most precious treasures of the Dueguan, and the temple master personally making a move. Everyone can weigh the value of these two rewards themselves; I believe you have your own judgment in your hearts."

Once breaking through to the Five Seas Realm, trace meridians were already solidified.

Perhaps there were ways to go against the trend and forge again, but just like the transformation of a Pure Immortal Body, for every small realm higher, the difficulty was multiplied.

The Dueguan immortal master's words undoubtedly gave those top geniuses with Hundred Meridians All Silver the opportunity to further their foundations.

Golden meridians, known as dragon meridians within the Wu Xiu's body, were highly praised even by Master Guan.

But as a strong Fa-Wu expert ranked in the top ten of the Lingxiao Life Realm a thousand years ago, Master Guan had only forged eighteen golden trace meridians in the Gushing Spring Realm. After that, the trace meridians were solidified and could not be used to make up for the lack of foundation.

The Hidden Monarch had also said that being able to forge nine golden meridians was considered top-tier among Inheritors of Hundred Meridians All Silver.

The role played by the Golden Spring was not critical.

How many golden meridians could be forged mainly depended on the strength of the Wu Xiu's innate constitution.

Those with less than a hundred trace meridians could not even dream of forging a single golden meridian.

Every extra one might not increase combat power much. But like a foundation, it could play a role in subsequent cultivation, and its importance was self-evident.

This was just trace meridians!

Those top Five Seas Realm Wu Xiu also had extremely high expectations for the reshaping of the Wind Mansion and Ancestral Field.

"The twenty Dragon Seed tickets of a realm are held by the twenty strongest people in the First and Second Ranks."

"The twenty Dragon Bone tickets of a realm are held by the twenty people in the First and Third Ranks."

"Whether you want to collect all Dragon Seed tickets or all Dragon Bone tickets, the ten people in the First Rank cannot be bypassed; you have to beat everyone into submission."

The First Rank experts of each realm were all discussing, crazy about the rewards mentioned by the Dueguan immortal master.

But after analysis, they all felt it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Only Snow Sword Tang Ting of the Northern Region might be able to do it.

The Northern Region was dominated by one family, and only the imperial court could stop it.

The Dueguan immortal master said: "This tests the cultivation combat power, ruling ability, and lobbying ability of top geniuses. As long as on the night of the Lantern Festival, all young Wu Xiu holding Dragon Seed tickets or all holding Dragon Bone tickets in that realm submit to you and support you, no matter what means you use, it counts."

"Of course, if your combat power is strong enough, it is naturally better to seize it by force."

The voice of Long Long Zhexian of the Dragon Palace came from a jade carriage parked on the side of the street: "Having such supreme ability to subdue all forces in a realm, is this the Hidden Dragon you are looking for to assist the world?"

"The chance is great, but not necessarily."

The Dueguan immortal master said again: "This struggle, the person with the most dazzling comprehensive ability can be called the Hidden Dragon, and their name can be listed above Green Luan Sheng Lin You and Ge Ge Xiantong."

Under the night sky, Green Luan Sheng Lin You's voice came majestically: "What if I want a definite answer?"

The Dueguan immortal master looked at one of the courtyard-style buildings in the city: "The Dragon Bone tickets and Dragon Seed tickets issued by the Dueguan are both eighty; if you get more than forty of either kind of ticket, then you are no longer a Hidden Dragon, but a True Dragon."

"The reward for a True Dragon will exceed everyone's imagination."

"The Dueguan will fully support them and help them become the future master of the Lingxiao Life Realm. Including you, Green Luan Sheng Lin You, you also have this opportunity."

"Boom!"

Once this was said, it shocked everyone in Qiuzhouzhou city, including the giants and transcendents of the older generation of major forces.

This was the first time the Dueguan had made its attitude clear!

Fortunately, this was the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, not the True Dragon Lantern Festival.

The "True Dragon" condition mentioned by the Dueguan immortal master was almost impossible to achieve. Being able to make half of the experts submit almost meant having the strength to sweep through all forces and unify Qiuzhouzhou city.

Subduing a realm was very difficult.

Unifying the world was even more difficult.

Lei Xiao Sect Inheritor Lu Lu Cangsheng said to himself: "This city is just like a microcosm of the world situation. The residents in the city are the people of the twenty-eight states. There are even foreign strong enemies represented by Green Luan Sheng Lin You, and Yu Yu Yaozi represented by Ge Ge Xiantong. The next fifteen days will undoubtedly be a rehearsal of the struggle for the world. Dragons and snakes compete, and the winner takes all."

"Will the Brother Zuoqiu sect's advantage be too great? In Qiuzhouzhou city, they will have a steady stream of troops." Qin Qian said.

Lu Lu Cangsheng said: "What is the use of low-realm troops? If top figures like Brother Zuoqiu Ting and Cang Li cannot hold on, they will collapse directly! There is still a quarter of an hour, and the New Year's bell will ring; we must return to Leize Studio before that."

Qin Qian already admired Lu Lu Cangsheng to the extreme; before the rules were announced, he seemed to be able to calculate the rules and mobilize all great Intent Masters to build a solid Leize Studio.

How many leaders of other forces had such foresight?

Those forces that invited Spirit Intent Masters to set up arrays were simply stupid.

In her view, Lu Lu Cangsheng was the only candidate for the Hidden Dragon.

On the Profound Heaven Square, the young Wu Xiu of major forces dispersed quickly.

They knew very well that once the Dueguan's struggle rules were announced, once the bell rang, snatching and slaughter would immediately erupt.

Even though all Wu Xiu who received invitations were retreating quickly, many were still targeted and followed. When they released Fa Qi light pillars earlier, they were locked onto by hostile forces.

"Shi Shishi Shi!"

A group of experts from the Earth Wolf King Army were retreating quickly.

Shi Shishi Shi, who was walking in the front, heard Li Li Youyi's Fa Qi sound transmission, and his eyes lit up.

Li Li Youyi, dressed in night-traveling clothes, with his hood on, stood in the shadows of the street: "Take your people and come with me to do a job tonight?"

Since the bloody battle between the imperial court and the Brother Zuoqiu sect and the Nine Li Clan was unavoidable tonight, Li Li Youyi planned to take this opportunity to move against the Sui Sect and settle old and new grudges together.

Shi Shishi Shi responded through transmission: "No way! That Ninth Master of your Nine Li Clan assigned a task, saying that the imperial court and the Nine Li Clan are going to war tonight, and the Earth Wolf King Army is under huge pressure; we have to help contain the Sui Sect and watch the Night City."

"Oh!" Li Li Youyi said.

That was a coincidence!

Li Li Youyi and the six young Wu Xiu of the Earth Wolf King Army gathered together, took a battle carriage pulled by four snow wolves, and rushed toward the Nancheng at extreme speed.

On the battle carriage.

Shi Shishi Shi pointed to a tall, fierce woman with bronze skin and a pure immortal body: "The strongest person under thirty in the Earth Wolf King Army, Five Seas Realm, ranked sixth in the Southern Region's top rank, Tao Tao Yanyan. She is the adopted daughter of the Great Master!"

Being able to enter the top rank, combat power was naturally not simple.

Li Li Youyi looked at Tao Tao Yanyan, who was sitting opposite like a magnificent mountain, her arms as thick as his thighs, seeing such a pure immortal body for the first time, his heart was very shocked, and he bowed: "Long admired, long admired."

Tao Tao Yanyan's voice was heavy, giving people a sense of stability: "Dharma King Shi often says that Young Master Li is righteous and is his good brother. So everyone is our own people; no need to be polite."

"Even Dao lotuses can be gifted; more than just a good brother, he is simply my second foster father, Shi Shishi Shi."

After Shi Shishi Shi laughed, he pointed to another pure immortal body woman sitting to the right of Tao Tao Yanyan: "Her name is Bai Shu, a disciple of the Sixth Brother, a great Intent Master of the Disaster Fire Realm, specializing in rune techniques. She is the third strongest expert after Tao Tao Yanyan and me!"

"Love Flower Painting Boat, Bai Shu?" Li Li Youyi was surprised.

Bai Shu had a graceful and charming figure, dressed boldly, her chest snow-white and round, and sitting with Tao Tao Yanyan, it could better set off her beauty.

She took off the veil on her face, revealing an exquisite face that looked like eighteen or nineteen years old, her cinnabar eyes rippling, and she laughed coquettishly: "Oh my, you actually know my origin; it seems Young Master Li is a regular customer of my Love Flower Painting Boat. Why have you never let me accompany you? Is it because you can't bear to spend money?"
