Chapter 228: Battle of Zhongzhou
Qingyue's situation is a knot in Su Yao's heart now, he hopes to find her quickly, but in the face of the Ice Plains Snow Girl, with Su Yao's current strength, it is impossible to bring Qingyue back, so he still has to improve his strength as soon as possible.
In the Nine Palaces Sword Sect, it is the best opportunity to improve its strength, and there are the most superior resources in the world.
"I came to you today because I had something serious to tell you. The sect master changed his words and no longer cared about the matter of the Ice Plain Snow Maiden.
"Is that the reason for me to challenge the Yellow Battle List?"
"That's right, I didn't expect you to rush to this point, it's a bit unexpected, especially the three swords of life and death, you have already practiced, I was surprised. ”
"The sect master has won the prize. ”
After the greetings were over, the sect master got up, walked to the balcony, looked at the moonlight outside, and muttered.
"I'm fighting for Zhongzhou. ”
What is that for? It seems that there is no mention of this in "Zhongzhou Lu".
Su Yao could only wait for the sect master to continue, otherwise he would have no clue.
"You may not have heard that the predecessor of the Battle of Zhongzhou was the former Mountain Peak Debate! In the past, the Mountain Peak Discussion was only held in the Taiqing Shangxian Sect, a hundred years ago, after the first-class forces discussed, they felt that such a grand event should be held in turn by many first-class strengths, and from that time on, it was renamed the Battle of Zhongzhou, which was held once every twenty years. This year, it was the turn of my Nine Palace Sword Sect to hold it. ”
Speaking of the top of the mountain, Su Yao had some impressions.
In the tomb of Zhan Xian, Zhan Xian once mentioned that he was famous all over the world when he was discussing the Tao on the top of the mountain. It's just that this kind of grand event in Zhongzhou, what does it have to do with yourself?
"What does the sect master mean?"
"At present, my Nine Palace Sword Sect has good standouts at other levels, but only at the level below the age of eighteen, there is still a lack of a decent disciple. From the sect master's worried face, Su Yao could guess that he might value this battle very much.
Anyway, this time the Nine Palace Sword Sect is also the host, if you can't even take a decent disciple, and you don't even have a chance to compete with other first-class forces, it will be ridiculous, and I am afraid that it will humiliate the reputation of the first-class forces.
"As far as I know, other forces, under the age of eighteen, can form a particularly strong team, and their strength is around one or two in the Heavenly Phase, at this age, they are real geniuses. However, my Nine Palace Sword Sect can't get together more than five people, even if the Nine Peaks disciples are added together, they can only find four disciples who are under the age of eighteen and have the strength of the Heavenly Aspect Qiankun Realm. ”
Su Yao is just that there are many, many yellow-level disciples at the consummation level of the Nine Palace Sword Sect's underground palace Canghai realm, but he is just one step short of being able to step into the Heavenly Realm of Heaven and Heaven, and for cultivators, this step is a huge hurdle.
With the strength of the sect master's half-immortal, he can help the seedlings grow, and he has long been out of the Heavenly Realm powerhouse, but such a person is simply not the opponent of a genius who grows up in a disciplined manner.
Speaking of which, Su Yao also probably guessed the reason why the sect master took a fancy to him, instead of putting his hope on the group of disciples who had little hope of breaking through, it was better to choose a genius with amazing talent like Su Yao, even if his strength was not good, if he took out such talent, he would not be laughed at, and even attract the envy of everyone.
"I was still worried a few days ago, but at this time, your appearance made me see hope, just the third level of the underground palace Canghai realm, you can rush to the twenty-fifth place on the Huang Zhan list, this matter alone is enough to give me the Nine Palace Sword Sect enough face. ”
Characters like them don't care about the strength of their disciples at all, what they care about is face, if they can cultivate disciples whose talents are far beyond ordinary people, it will be the greatest glory.
"Why do you have to fit five people?"
Is there still a limit to the number of people in the battle? Isn't it enough to have so many disciples from the Heavenly Realm? Between the first-class forces, there are only one or two disciples left, and they won't lose face.
The sect master stroked his beard and lowered his head, "Alas, I'll tell you about the competition system first, in fact, the Battle of Zhongzhou is a contest between juniors. To put it bluntly, it is the future competition of the major sects. There are three groups, under 18 years old, 18 to 30 years old, and 30 to 50 years old. Each group needs to have five people to participate in the battle, that is, our Nine Palace Sword Sect needs a total of fifteen people. ”
Su Yao roughly understood, in fact, it was a competition for young people, for their level, fifty years old could indeed only be regarded as a young man, after all, even Su Yao had a lifespan of hundreds of years. Based on this lifespan, Su Yao is still in the infant stage at most.
Since the rule requires five people, if the Nine Palace Sword Sect lacks one, it will lose a lot of combat power and basically declare it a failure.
The sect master paused and continued: "The competition system of each group is divided into individual battles and team battles, two forces fight, in individual battles, for each game you win, you can accumulate one point, so you can get up to five points, and the team battle is a five-person battle, a total of ten people fight, win the team battle, you can get six points. The team with the highest total score wins. ”
Su Yao has indeed never seen this kind of competition system, but in this case, if he wants to fight with every force, he must not be tired to death?
Fortunately, the sect master continued to explain: "Actually, there is another point in the battle, that is, the same forces fight, under normal circumstances, unless the second-class forces have a particularly prominent team, they are not qualified to fight with the first-class forces, and the first-class forces participating in the Zhongzhou Battle this time are only our Nine Palace Sword Sect, the Four Great Families, the Taiqing Shangxian Sect, the Ghost Sect, and the Dream Wonderland. First of all, the opponent is decided by drawing, two by two, the four losing teams will be decided, and then five, six, seven or eight, and the four winning teams will be drawn by lot, the two losing teams will decide the third or fourth place, and the winning team will compete for the crown. ”
This Su Yao is still relatively easy to understand, to put it simply, it is a knockout round, but if you are unlucky, you will draw the Taiqing Shangxian Sect in the first round, which is basically cool, after all, it is the first sect in the world, and the disciples are not far behind.
And the Nine Palace Sword Sect is now missing one person, and it is likely to be eliminated in the first round, or even fall directly to the eighth place, which is a great shame for the organizers, so the sect master is so anxious.
It's just that there is another thing that Su Yao expected.
"The demon clan also participates? Doesn't it mean that people and demons are not at odds with each other? Why are they still allowed to participate?"
In fact, the main reason is that Su Yao doesn't know much about demons, except for the Phantom Snow Spirit Cat who only has the Yuan God, he has never seen other demons at all, and he has seen a lot of demon beasts, but the demon has no concept, and the Tianwu Holy Dynasty can't raise the demon species.
"After all, this is a grand event in the entire Zhongzhou, aiming to convey the voice of peace, the demon is the top priority of peace in Zhongzhou, of course they need to participate, and it is said that their team is quite strong, and even has the strength comparable to that of the Taiqing Shangxian Sect, so this time some people speculate that this first title may have to be given to the demon clan. ”
For human beings, this point is probably absolutely unbearable, and the relationship with the demon clan is not good, if they are allowed to press on the Zhongzhou battle, then the human face will be lost, however, the pressure is on those people in the Taiqing Shangxian Sect, he Su Yao doesn't care about this, he is now even struggling to fight Zhou Jin, let alone fight with those geniuses of the Zhongzhou battle.
"Don't worry, there are still two months left before the battle begins, I think, your words, your strength should be able to improve, I have already put your name on the list, so, come on, by the way, if you can make the Nine Palace Sword Sect achieve a good ranking, the disciples who participate in the battle can enter the main peak to practice for a month." ”
This old guy actually pressed himself into it without notifying, Su Yao was ruthless in his heart, but this condition is also quite tempting, go to the main peak to practice, the main peak is the best place for the cultivation environment of the entire Nine Palace Sword Sect, if you can practice there for a month, the progress speed will definitely increase a lot.
"Sect Master, you are too unkind, so you told me beforehand, let me be mentally prepared, this rush will put so much pressure on me at once. ”
Su Yao didn't care if they were terrifying half-immortals, so he complained directly.
The sect master shook his head, not knowing whether he was angry or laughing.
"Okay, as compensation, I'll give you another gift, this is the Yuan Shen Fruit, eating it, it can make the Yuan Shen more stable, and it will also be of great benefit to cultivation, the Yuan Shen is stable, and the cultivation will be clear, and the cultivation speed will be faster, this baby, at present, even I have such a one, so I will give it to you." ”
The half-immortal made a move, and it was really not a mortal thing, I saw that the Yuan Shen Fruit in the sect master's hand was overflowing, pink and tender, as if it would break at any time, and the flowing saliva in it exuded a charming fragrance, just smelling it, I could feel more conscious.
"Thank you for the reward, Su Yao will definitely live up to your expectations. ”
The sect master sighed again in the end, and left with a smile, not knowing whether it was right to find Su Yao.
Taking the Yuan Shen Fruit, Su Yao carefully placed it in the ring, and then lay on the bed with a lot of thoughts.
"Zhongzhou's grand event, that third-level strength should also participate, will she see Yue'er? Will she participate? I heard that it has become famous in that area, it seems that Yue'er should have made great progress. ”
"Demons, they are all demons of the Heavenly Realm, they can all turn into human form, do they have any special means? Being able to become a demon is no different from a human. ”
Thinking of this, Su Yao suddenly remembered that the Flame Qilin Beast used to live in a fantasy fairyland, then it should know a lot about demons.
So Su Yao came to the ninth layer of the Golden Dome Floating Statue again, and found that this fairy beast was sleeping soundly!
"I'll give you ten times as long, did I let you sleep here!"
Su Yao went up and slapped it awake, such a big fiery unicorn beast, still sleepy-eyed and yawning.
"What's the noise, Lao Tzu can still improve his cultivation when he sleeps, you think it's as hard as you humans. ”
“......”
Su Yao didn't know what to say for a while, what the hell is it! Is the immortal beast so cool? It can improve its strength just by sleeping? No wonder it is only ten years old and already the seventh level of the underground palace Canghai realm. It's just that these are too foul, and in comparison, people are much more miserable.
"Alas, if only I were a fairy beast. Su Yao could only talk to himself and fantasize.
