Chapter 329: It's My Turn to Take the Stage

Very quickly, the plan of the three True Monarchs was conveyed down by the Elder Council.

As the Great Elder presiding over the Immortal Alliance assembly, Qiyun Zhenjun, a Spirit Realm late-stage Great Cultivator from the Thunder God Hall, stood in front of the main hall and used a Spirit Qi amplification spell to announce the arrangements made by the three great immortal sects regarding the belonging of Lan You Xianzi.

The three great immortal sects would each send out three young Danyuan Realm cultivators to challenge one another, with each person fighting two matches; the one who ultimately wins the most will obtain Lan You Xianzi and join the corresponding sect.

Of course, to ensure fairness in the competition, the use of any Spirit Talisman or Magic Treasure above the fourth-rank is not permitted; the struggle will rely entirely on one's own cultivation strength.

At this moment, the scattered onlookers slowly returned to the Four Dragon Platform once again.

However, the central area had already been cordoned off by several Elders working together to set up a Spirit Qi barrier, so as to prevent accidental injury to the surrounding onlookers during the fighting.

But clearly, after a round of eye contact and exchange, everyone confirmed that this suddenly appearing, ugly-looking little cultivator was not a disciple of any of the three great immortal sects.

Therefore, while the surrounding cultivators were currently excited and agitated, the nine selected contestants were even more stirred up.

Because in these super sects and some large immortal sects, those at the Zhenyuan Realm are everywhere, and those at the Danyuan Realm are as common as dogs; the Taiqing Palace and Thunder God Hall both have Danyuan Realm cultivators on the scale of over a hundred, and even the lowest-ranked Junwang Hall has sixty or seventy Danyuan Realm cultivators.

"Supreme Elder, please rest assured, Lan You knows, it is just that my heart is in pain!" Lan You said, choking with sobs.

Although Xu Chen reckoned he could achieve this kind of recovery speed himself, he relied on the Great Void Demon-Refining Art, and the Junwang Hall and Thunder God Hall clearly would not have such a miraculous technique; thus, they must have other secret methods and Spirit Pills, which shows that the foundation of a sect is not just about having money, but also requires a sufficiently long heritage and enough accumulation.

Xu Chen, who had been watching the excitement, shook his limbs to loosen up, turned his head, and smiled at Guiling Shenjun: "Senior, please hold the line for me; it is my turn to take the stage."

Xu Chen turned his head and glanced at Ling Yuzhen, who was stroking Xiaobai.

When something becomes abundant, it is neither precious nor valuable.

"Whoosh~~"

These nine contestants are each of top-tier aptitude, and among the younger generation, they are all prominent figures; if there were a ranking list, they would certainly be top-ranked super powerhouses, and according to the foundation and strength of the three super sects, these people all have the potential for Spirit Transformation in the future.

Lan You stood among a group of fellow disciples from the Yuqing Hall, watching the three teams of contestants preparing to enter the arena with a blank expression, her heart feeling extremely bitter as her eyes turned red and she wept in secret.

The three True Monarchs also had dark faces, but they did not make any move; instead, they all frowned at the same time.

The nine people in the arena, along with Qiyunzi and a group of Immortal Alliance Elders and the three sects' Spirit Transformation cultivators and disciples, were all so angry that smoke was coming out of their seven orifices; before Qiyunzi could even speak, a dozen or so powerful cultivators with thick auras soared into the air and pounced into the barrier, among them many Spirit Transformation True Monarchs and law-enforcement Great Cultivators from the three super sects, preparing to beat this ugly-looking, ignorant, and arrogant troublemaker into a pulp.

Guiling Shenjun nodded with a solemn expression: "Daoist Friend Xu, rest assured; as long as the other side's Immortals do not make a move, this poor Daoist will take responsibility for any accidents."

Only in those immortal sects that are not very powerful do cultivators care so much about Daoist titles and forms of address.

And for even smaller immortal sects, those who reach the Golden Core stage are properly called True Person.

"Sigh, it is time, it is fate; we should not have brought her to the Thunder God Hall in the first place!" Yuyang Zhenjun sighed and shook his head from the side.

The tens of thousands of onlookers were in an uproar, and many people exclaimed.

And the two popular figures on the Prodigy Ranking from the Junwang Hall and Thunder God Hall, Jun Shaowei and Zhang Ting, were both among them, and they looked as if they had fully recovered, showing no symptoms of having been punished.

In reality, in the eyes of many, this was clearly a scene of a martial arts competition for marriage in the mortal world.

The nine people who entered the arena stood in a triangular formation, looking at each other with playfulness and killing intent.

Yufu Shenjun frowned in surprise: "Which sect does this little cultivator belong to?"

The final winner will not only take Lan You into their sect, but the one with the most wins will also most likely become a Daolu with Lan You.

These people have an age limit and must be under thirty-five years old.

However, among the three from the Taiqing Palace, Su Bai, who interested Xu Chen, was not among them; it is unknown whether it was because he was too old or because his strength was too high and he was excluded.

Xu Chen smiled and said: "With those words from Junior Sister, I can rest easy."

And the top three on the Prodigy Ranking, Su Mo, Zhang Ting, and Jun Shaowei, were baring their teeth at each other, showing their determination to win.

After speaking, Xu Chen took a step forward and flashed into the barrier.

Just like the Taiyuan Sect; when Xuanchenzi reached Spirit Transformation, he couldn't wait to hold a grand Spirit Transformation Ceremony, inviting immortal sects large and small within the Song Kingdom to celebrate, and began to call himself Xuanchen Zhenjun.

If one could win Lan You and become a Daolu, the immortal sect would surely exhaust all its resources to assist their cultivation, and becoming a True Monarch or Shenjun in a few hundred years would be a matter of course.

Amidst the chaos at the scene, Lan You looked at the ugly-looking young cultivator standing in the barrier who appeared calm and composed, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, leaving her stunned.

"You'er, do not be willful anymore; we cannot make the decision in this matter either. No matter which immortal sect you go to, you will grow faster than you would at the Yuqing Hall. This is also your good fortune; many young people cannot even beg for such a thing. Furthermore, you have experienced this Nether Beast Catastrophe yourself; it is truly too dangerous. Just the disciples of our Yuqing Hall who have died or been injured already number in the hundreds, and even several fellow disciples you are close with have suffered casualties. I hope you will prioritize the big picture!" Baiyunzi stood to the side and whispered via voice transmission.

Leiyun Shenjun and Daokong Shenjun were also somewhat bewildered, turning their heads to look at the Zhenyuan Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm Elders of their own sects.

"Look quickly, who is that? How could he be so bold as to rush into the competition barrier?"

As expected of super sects, they have all recovered so quickly.

As the venue was set up, the Taiqing Palace, Thunder God Hall, and Junwang Hall each selected three young-generation Danyuan Realm cultivators to prepare to enter the arena.

As for disciples in the Refining Essence into Qi stage, many do not even want to take a Daoist title, mostly calling each other by their own mortal names.

In small and medium-sized immortal sects, the Danyuan Realm is a powerhouse that suppresses a region, but in these super sects, they are merely ordinary lower-middle-level disciples, because above them are three generations of Spirit Realm Great Cultivators: Spirit Transformation, True Spirit, and Spirit God; they only have the role of running errands and listening to orders.

In their eyes, a Spirit Transformation Great Cultivator is still only worthy of being called a True Person.

"Whoosh~~"

Ling Yuzhen rolled her eyes and said: "Why are you looking at me? Although the other party's intentions are unknown, I imagine they won't lose face as Immortals to make a move over such a small matter. Do whatever you want to do; the sky won't fall!"

Therefore, whether it is a Daoist title or a form of address, the more powerful the immortal sect, the more low-key they are.

In the five super sects, Danyuan Realm cultivators never call themselves True Person; they address each other directly by their mortal names or Daoist titles, and the younger generation is even more arrogant, setting their lowest goal at Spirit Transformation, so they are too lazy to even take a Daoist title.

Xu Chen's move not only left Su Mo and the others, who were preparing to fight in the arena, feeling baffled, but even the three Shenjuns and the group of True Spirit Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm Great Cultivators standing in front of the Xianyun Palace were all full of astonishment.

The surrounding onlookers were in an even greater uproar, the noise of the commotion soaring into the sky; there were even many who laughed out loud, some mocking, some cheering, and there was no lack of bold troublemakers who shouted: "Little Daoist Friend, we support you!"

This struggle in front of tens of thousands of cultivators in the Divine Continent is the time for them to truly make a name for themselves.

Just like the Prodigy Ranking at this Immortal Alliance Assembly, all are listed directly by name, and they all address each other by their names as well.

The tens of thousands of onlookers erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and many female cultivators even looked at Lan You, who was standing among the group from the Yuqing Hall, with immense envy, jealousy, and hatred.

A young female cultivator at the Zhenyuan Realm, apart from being a bit good-looking, what virtue or ability does she have to simultaneously gain the favor of the three super immortal sects, and even organize such a large-scale competition to fight for her belonging?

At this time, the three groups of cultivators from the Taiqing Palace, Thunder God Hall, and Junwang Hall had all entered the arena.

Although in the Immortal World, one can be called a True Monarch upon reaching Spirit Transformation and forming an Infant, in the eyes of these super sect cultivators, Spirit Transformation is only the starting point of their cultivation pursuit; only by advancing to the True Spirit Realm where the primordial spirit emerges can one be worthy of the title True Monarch.

"It's him!"

Xu Chen, however, stood in the middle, and without haste, turned around and bowed to all sides: "This little one comes from Nanhuang. I pride myself on having learned some magic spells, and seeing this battle today, I am delighted and also wish to win the heart of Daoist Friend Lan You, so I would also like to participate in this competition."

Not only will he win a great reputation that will resound throughout the Divine Continent, but he will also win the beauty and be envied and jealous of by the masses.

Qiyunzi then soared into the air, stood above the barrier, and roared angrily at Xu Chen: "Who are you? Do you not know the rules of the Immortal Alliance? Withdraw immediately, or else you will be taken for punishment."

Some even take a resounding Daoist name for themselves as early as the Zhenyuan Realm.

What is more, many rogue cultivators among the common folk, even those in the Kaiyuan Realm, will start calling themselves 'this True Person' and so on, provided they are a bit older.

The group of great cultivators were naturally equally confused, looking at one another, all assuming it was the people from the other two families.

Just when everyone thought Xu Chen would be instantly dragged out of the barrier by the group of cultivators pouncing on him and beaten to death, a terrifying aura that blotted out the sky suddenly descended, shrouding the barrier within it.

Over a dozen cultivators of the Danyuan Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm were all blocked outside the barrier by this aura.
