He walked out of the courtyard and saw that the usually deserted sect had become lively.
Many young people of the same age gathered together and walked towards the north, passing by the courtyard where Xu Zimo lived.
"What's going on outside?" Xu Zimo looked at the Long Yidao brothers and asked.
"They are all preparing for the Jiuxiao Festival," Long Yidao explained.
"There are so many disciples among the Nine Meridians, and not everyone is qualified to participate in the grand event.
Therefore, before the Jiuxiao Festival begins, each of the Nine Meridians will conduct a small-scale competition.
Let’s decide who will participate in the Nine Heavens Grand Event.”
"So that's it," Xu Zimo nodded and asked, "Why didn't I know about this in advance?"
Long Yidao next to him hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
"Just say whatever you have," Xu Zimo said with a frown.
"Because Young Master cannot practice, everyone has agreed that you will not participate in this competition.
So no one went out of their way to inform you," Long Erdao said from the side.
"Interesting," Xu Zimo smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look."
……………
The Grand Competition of the Jiuxiao Grand Competition is located in Fenglei Valley.
Fenglei Valley is a famous valley in Taixiao Peak.
It is said that the Saint Jiuxiao once sat here and transformed into a god. When he advanced to become a god king, the thunder of the nine tribulations of heaven and earth descended.
This place was completely sunk and almost shattered.
Since then, the place has been filled with wind and thunder, and it has not been erased after thousands of years.
Xu Zimo and the others arrived at Fenglei Valley, where countless disciples had already gathered.
Most of them are true disciples and the best among the inner disciples.
This Jiuxiao Grand Meeting is to select among these disciples.
As for other outer disciples, they are not qualified to participate in this competition because their cultivation level is too low.
Because the disciples participating in the Nine Heavens Grand Meeting must be at least a celestial level pulse practitioner.
Most disciples come here mainly to watch the fun.
There are four entrances to the valley in the four directions of Fenglei Valley, southeast, northwest, and Xu Zimo followed the crowd and walked in.
The entrance to Fenglei Valley is very spacious, with a path paved with bluestones at your feet and the mountain walls of the valley on both sides.
It is steep and rugged, with jagged mountain walls and a faint blue texture. At night, you can still see traces of electric arcs flashing in it.
Walk into the bluestone path at the entrance and keep walking forward. After exiting the path, the space in front will become wider.
In the open space directly ahead, a particularly large competition arena came into view.
The competition ground occupies almost half of the open space, and the ground is made of the fusion of blue obsidian and Ningshan crystal.
This kind of floor is very hard, even if a strong person in the Fusion Sky Realm hits it with all his strength, it may not be able to break it.
The ground is divided into four areas, which are four competition arenas.
When Xu Zimo arrived, he found that his predecessor's father, Lin Beisheng, was sitting here with three elders.
They were sitting on the high platform in front of them, and below them were a group of true disciples participating in the selection.
……………
When everyone was about to arrive, Lin Beisheng stood up and slowly came to the front of the competition ring.
Looking at everyone below, the voice contained spiritual energy, shocking the entire Wind and Thunder Valley.
He said loudly: "The Nine Heavens Grand Event will be held once every ten years. I think everyone knows that today we are here to select candidates to participate in the Nine Heavens Grand Event.
The basic rules are the same as in previous years, but I still have to repeat them.
Many core disciples and some inner disciples with astronomical strength can participate.
In the end, we only selected four people who were qualified to represent our Taixiao Peak and compete with the other Eight Meridians for the grand event.
Now there are four competition arenas here. Everyone has a chance to challenge. If they win, they will continue, if they lose, they will leave.
You cannot challenge the same opponent continuously and adopt wheel battles.
In the end, the four disciples who can stand at the end of these four arenas are the participating disciples in this Jiuxiao event."
When Lin Beisheng said this, he paused slightly and continued: "Listen carefully to the next words, they are for all of you.
When the last four disciples are left in the arena, all of you present, including the inner and outer disciples, will be qualified to challenge them.
If you think you are better than them, you can come to power, but the prerequisite is life or death.
The last four disciples standing in the ring each have three chances to be challenged.
Once the challenge is successful, you can take their place.
If they fail the challenge three times in a row, then they do not need to accept the challenge again and can directly participate in the Nine Heavens Festival."
Upon hearing Lin Beisheng's words, the disciples below shouted loudly: "Disciple understands."
Lin Beisheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then I announce that the Taixiao Peak Disciple Selection Competition for the Jiuxiao Festival has officially begun."
………………
As soon as he finished speaking, people around him began to talk noisily.
"Don't you guys want to go up and give it a try?" A young man holding a spear looked at the many probing and hesitant disciples.
He chuckled and said, "Since there is no one else, I will be the first person."
I saw the momentum surging around him, and he stepped directly into the first arena.
"It's Chang Ruofeng," someone among the inner and outer disciples recognized him instantly.
"He is the grandson of our Taixiao Peak elder. It is said that he has obtained the true inheritance, so he should not be underestimated."
"I don't know who dares to fight with him. I'm afraid the fight for these four spots will be bloody."
The disciples were talking among themselves, and then heard another soft drink.
"Then let me guard this second arena."
Lin Feng was seen wearing a white robe and slowly walked onto the second ring.
"It's the emperor's son. It seems that there is no suspense in this second arena."
"It's hard to say. These true disciples usually hide their secrets. No one can say whether there will be a dark horse."
"Chang Ruofeng, I will fight you."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm here to meet you."
There were two more loud shouts in succession, and two figures were seen flying into the two arenas respectively.
"I, Hui Zhen, will guard this third arena."
"For the fourth stage, let me, Xue Qingming, try it."
……………
In just the blink of an eye, several figures had already occupied the arena.
The battle was about to break out. As the referee next to him started, several people were already fighting on the ring.
The battles between the true disciples did not end so quickly. Basically, they were defeated by just one move after a trial.
With the cheers of many disciples below, the battle in the arena has reached a fever pitch.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The people in other arenas changed again and again, but in the second arena, Lin Feng stood calmly.
Few people dare to challenge, but those who challenge will be knocked down directly by one or two moves.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.
