The Sea of Dead Wood is located near the continental boundary of more than 10,000 miles north of Mingyang City, and further north is the continent boundary desolate land adjacent to the Eight Desolate Continents. Although the Sea of Dead Wood is called the Sea, there is not a drop of water, but it is a desert dead land that stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are old trees everywhere, so it is called the Sea of Dead Wood. There is a lake about ten miles long in the oasis of the south of the dead wood sea, and there is a magnificent palace built on the edge of the lake, because this lake is called Emerald Lake, so this palace is called Emerald Small Building. The name is Xiaozhu, but it is not small at all, as can be seen from the square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

At this time, thousands of cultivators from all over the continent had gathered around the Jade Square, and many of them came to cheer.

The position of the jade building is very high, and the view from the square is extremely wide, and you can see the dead wood in the wind and sand of the sea of dead wood. Chu Jun looked into the distance, and all the sight was desolate and lonely, but he couldn't see any life, this sea of dead wood was indeed a dead land, but I don't know if there would be an anti-spirit vein under such a large area of dead land?

The twenty-nine cultivators who entered the Zuihou competition were divided into six rows according to the prefecture, with five people in each row, and only the Daming Mansion had four people. The first place in the Daming Mansion team was Luo Heng from Haotianmen, followed by Wei An, Chu Jun and Zhao Yu standing behind. On the left side of the Daming Mansion team is Beiyang Mansion, and on the right is Mingyang Mansion, Chu Jun found that Ye Zhong was in the team of Mingyang Mansion, and a petite female cultivator with long fiery red hair was standing in the team of Beiyang Mansion.

In the center of the square there was a high platform with a row of seats, apparently for the important people who were presiding over the big competition, and these people had not yet appeared.

All the contestants in the arena were secretly looking at the opponents around them, and some of them were arrogant and even released their divine senses to tempt. Zhao Yu suddenly felt a wave of divine consciousness lewd towards his chest, and he was secretly angry in his heart, and suddenly released a divine sense in the sea of consciousness and crashed into it. Wheel spiritual power, I'm afraid that no one here is Zhao Yu's opponent, I only heard someone in the team of Beiyang Mansion snort, and then Huo Ran turned around and stared at Zhao Yu in surprise. The two cultivators next to this person also turned their heads as if they were aware of it, and a sturdy guy snorted coldly and glared at Zhao Yu viciously.

Chu Jun raised his eyebrows, and the voice asked, "An Shao, what is the origin of those three guys?"

Wei An said with a solemn face: "These three people are all from the Beast Control Sect, and they are also the only sect that occupies three places in this rising star competition. That sturdy guy is called Fan Changhe, the cultivation in the middle of Jindan, the female cultivator behind him is called Sun Shuangshuang, and the person is called Gu Liudao, and his strength is not to be underestimated, and besides, the Beast Control Sect is a person from the eldest prince's line, so you have to be careful when you encounter it!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but touch his chin playfully, remembering that he had promised Rin Yueyi to take the Immortal Life Tower from the Beast Control Sect, he was destined to be the opponent of the Beast Control Sect, since the other party was a member of the eldest prince's line, it would be the best!

Zhao Yu's powerful divine sense cultivation suppressed the people around him, and no one dared to investigate his divine sense in this direction anymore, and even Chu Jun and Wei An were wiped out. Luo Heng in front of the team kept lowering his eyebrows, as if he had nothing to do with him, which lured the female cultivators outside the field to peek at him, even the Sun Shuangshuang of the Beast Control Sect was no exception.

"Old Wei, is this Luo Heng from the eldest prince's line?" asked Chu Jun in a very familiar voice.

Wei An couldn't help but laugh and replied: "Haotian Sect is just a second-rate sect, and it has never been in contact with the eldest prince's family in the past, of course, it is not ruled out that they have secret contacts, so I don't know." Also, don't fucking call me an old guard, Ben Shao isn't that old!"

Chu Jun smiled and said, "Okay, how about Xiao An?"

Wei An's shoulder shook: "It's better to call me Lao Wei!"

At this time, I saw a group of people walking out of the palace, among them was a middle-aged man wearing a purple python robe and a yellow belt around his waist. On the right hand side of the middle-aged man is Du Wu, wearing a big red gilt cloak, heroic and sassy. The middle-aged man's left hand is an old man in black who is a yin owl, as if a gust of wind can blow him away, but this person can walk side by side with Du Wu and the middle-aged man, which shows that his status is not low. The three of them were followed by six old men, all of whom were great masters in the Yuan Infant Stage.

Wei An's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Sure enough, it is the eldest prince who presides!"

"That person is the eldest prince Du Runan?" Chu Jun blurted out.

Wei An waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier between the three of them, and then nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest prince is also the city lord of Mingyang City, so he will personally preside over the third round of the big competition!"

Zhao Yu couldn't help frowning and said, "If he is deliberately partial, how can it be good?"

"Miss Zhao Yu, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Palace Master is also the deputy envoy, and the old man in black should be worshiped by the black-clothed guard, the eldest prince will definitely not dare to do anything favoritism!" Wei An said in a deep voice.

"What is the black-clothed guard?" Chu Jun asked strangely, as soon as these words came out, the eyes of the black-clothed old man in the distance swept towards this side, Chu Jun suddenly felt like his eyebrows had been pricked by a needle, and he couldn't help but feel a big heart, could it be that there was a soundproof enchantment that he could also hear?

Wei An said secretly: "The black-clothed guard is an institution directly under the control of the continent lord, and its ears and eyes are all over the major cities, which is equivalent to the ears and eyes of the continent lord, and I heard that the six great worshippers of the black-clothed guard are all old antiques in the god refining period!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, the six great offerings of the God Refining Period, damn, this black-clothed guard is too terrifying, similar to organizations such as Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory in the previous life, to put it bluntly, it is the secret service of the emperor Lao'er.

At this time, Du Wu and the others had already sat down on the seats on the high platform, and Guard immediately removed the soundproof barrier, and the rules stood solemnly, and the silence inside and outside the field was audible.

The eldest prince Du Runan sat in the center, and his eyes swept majestically across the audience. This eldest prince is already more than two hundred years old, and he looks like he is only thirty years old, he should have eaten something like Dingyan Pill, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Yuan Infant.

Du Runan suddenly grinned, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "I'm very happy to see you young rising stars, you are the most outstanding talents of the young generation in Chongming Continent, and the future belongs to you!"

Chu Jun had to admit that this guy's smile was very infectious!

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I, Du Runan, as the city lord of Mingyang City, presided over this Chongming Continent's rising star Dabi, this is the housemate Du Wu, the palace master of Tiance Palace, this is the black-clothed guard Wang Qu Wang, they are all deputy envoys of Dabi, assisting me to preside over Dabi!" Du Runan introduced with a smile.

Du Wu and Wang Qu both stood up and waved their hands, and the scene resounded with thunderous applause!

Chu Jun couldn't help but touch his chin, this old-fashioned opening sentence was really the same in any shijie.

Du Runan raised his hand and pressed his palm, and now he suddenly quieted down!

"Those who can enter the Zuihou round of the competition are all outstanding talents, but you are not yet the top, when you have the ability to come out of the eighteenth layer, you are qualified to be called the top!" Du Runan put away his smile and said seriously: "As long as you can enter the top twelve in this round of zuihou, then you will be eligible to enter the eighteenth layer, and you will have a chance to prove that you are the top." So, young people, show your true strength, overcome obstacles, and move forward bravely. Only the polishing of life and death, blood and fire, can make you truly top and truly sharp!"

Du Runan's voice sounded very peaceful, but it had a stirring magic, the listeners couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and the strong man of the Beast Control Sect was even more beast-like and clammed his chest and shouted: "Death to those who stand in my way!" The voice was like muffled thunder, which shook the ears of the people next to him.

Chu Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said secretly: "This thing still thinks it's the ape Taishan!"

Du Runan Huo Ran stood up and said loudly and excitedly: "There--five hundred miles of the Sea of Dead Wood is your battlefield, go fight, boy, go and prove that you are the best!" Then Hahadaxiao said: "Seeing the six Yuan Babies behind me, half an hour, after you enter the Sea of Dead Wood for half an hour, they will launch a merciless hunt against you, and the one who persists until Zuihou is the winner!"

The faces of the twenty-nine references changed drastically, oh my God, in the face of the ruthless pursuit of the six Yuanying masters, this is simply crazy!

Du Runan's tone changed and said: "Of course, if you can't resist it, you can admit defeat on the spot, and the hunters will stop attacking you, but you have also lost the qualification to continue to compete, and the twelve people who persist until Zuihou will represent Chongming Continent to participate in the eighteenth-layer trial!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were suddenly relieved, as long as they admit defeat, they will not have to worry about their lives, but they are not afraid of being killed by the Yuanying master, but they heard Du Runan say again: "The reference can attack each other, whether it is life or death, at that time, we will drive a large number of spirit beasts into the sea of dead wood, each person must obtain a fourth-level beast crystal or above, otherwise, even if they enter the top twelve, they will be invalidated, and the latter will make up for it!"

The three cultivators of the Beast Control Sect couldn't help but be overjoyed, Beast Control was their strong point!

Du Wu frowned imperceptibly, Du Runan's move was not high, it not only made people unable to grasp the handle, but also basically ensured that the three people of the Beast Control Sect entered the top twelve.

More than twenty references couldn't help but whisper, it was enough to face the pursuit of the six Yuan Infants, and it was too difficult to meet the spirit beast, not to mention killing a fourth-level spirit beast equivalent to the strength of the Jindan period.

"Is there a problem?" Du Runan said lightly.

No one in the audience dared to speak up, unless someone had their head caught in the door before they dared to raise an objection to the king.

Du Runan said with a smile: "The six Yuan Babies will only hunt you during the day and stop at night!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but feel a little relieved, as long as they persisted until the evening, they could breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Du Runan threw out another bombshell: "All participants can only carry magic weapons, and all restorative elixirs are forbidden to be brought into the Sea of Dead Wood, otherwise the ranking will be cancelled!"
