There are more than a dozen contestants at Jiucang Academy, and Ye Chen is among them. There are also two acquaintances in the team, Yun Yanqing and Zhou Yunjun.
Among all the contestants, Ye Chen shines the most.
"Haha, the final reward of this year's Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony is the control of the Destroyed Star Abyss. The Destroyed Star Abyss is one of the ten most dangerous places on the other side of the starry sky and contains the secrets of the ancient era."
"If we can control the Star Abyss of Destruction, our Jiucang Academy will be able to cultivate more powerful people in the future!"
Dean Feng Wuya led the team from the front and said enthusiastically.
The most attractive reward in this Starry Martial Arts Ceremony is not some treasure, but a piece of control.
Destroy the control of Xingyuan!
Upon hearing the words "Destroyed Star Abyss", all the teachers and students present showed a scorching look on their faces. It was obvious that this place was no small matter.
Ye Chen was in the team and looked at the excitement of the people around him, but he didn't look excited at all.
He doesn't care about any rewards or prizes, he just wants to be able to attain the great path in the starry sky martial arts ceremony, step into the realm of the sun and the moon, and then redeem the blood dragon and the sky and the moon.
It would be even better if Emperor Hun Tian dared to come, completely kill Emperor Hun Tian and seize his power as Pillar God.
This conference was very grand. Dean Feng Wuya and Great Elder Yun Wuwu were both present. Ling Qingya was also in front, with Jun Wuhen and Su Liyun standing next to her.
Ye Chen is in the team of contestants, far away from Ling Qingya.
A group of people boarded the flying boat and flew directly to the conference venue, Lingxiao Summit!
The top of Lingxiao is the place where the sealed Red Sky Candle Dragon is imprisoned. It is currently jointly managed by the four major Tianmen and the four major colleges.
Arriving at the top of Lingxiao, Ye Chen saw an extremely spectacular sight.
The sky was a pale blood color, and the blood-colored clouds contained strong resentment. It was the resentment from the Red Sky Candle Dragon. Its resentment soared into the sky, turning the sky into blood. The wind howled, and there was a faint red thunder.
On the top of Lingxiao, there is a huge candle dragon, entangled with endless iron chains, and endless talismans attached to it, suppressing it tightly. That is the Red Sky Candle Dragon.
Its huge body covered with red scales was as motionless as a sculpture, and its body seemed to be completely imprisoned. The top and bottom of its mouth were held open by two giant bronze pillars and could not be closed, like the entrance to a huge cave.
From the mouth of the Red Sky Candle Dragon, you can directly enter its body to mine. Today is the day of the Starry Martial Arts Ceremony. The mining staff has been cleared. Later, contestants like Ye Chen will go in to mine.
.
Looking at the huge mouth of the Red Sky Candle Dragon, Ye Chen thought to himself, if the Red Sky Candle Dragon closed its mouth after a person entered, wouldn't the person be unable to get out and become the food in its belly?
However, seeing the two giant bronze pillars supporting the dragon's mouth, Ye Chen felt much more at ease.
Mining has been going on for hundreds of millions of years without any accidents, so there won't be any accidents today, right?
The most eye-catching thing about the Red Sky Candle Dragon is its eyes.
It was a pair of eyes filled with blood and tears. The blood-colored tears were filled with pain, sliding down the cheeks and dripping to the ground. The blood and tears condensed into blood-colored Dao crystals, which were collected by someone below.
The blood and tears of Red Sky Candle Dragon are nothing but a resource to the human race.
Ye Chen looked into Chixiao Zhulong's eyes and felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
Those eyes were filled with too much resentment and intense pain. You can imagine what kind of torture Chixiao Zhulong endured.
With Lingxiao Peak as the center, there are more than a dozen sky pillar-like peaks surrounding it, forming a large formation to suppress the dragon energy of the Red Sky Candle Dragon.
The Red Sky Candle Dragon was suppressed here, and the strong resentment never subsided. As time went by, it became more and more intense.
In the blood-colored void above, there are thousands of space cracks, erupting with turbulent storms of time and space.
These space cracks appeared black, making the blood-red sky present a desolate and strange scene riddled with holes.
There are people guarding under every space crack. If there are ethnic groups from the Dragon God's ancient nest who try to come, they will be killed immediately.
Ye Chen saw that there were many ancient corpses buried on the top of Lingxiao, scattered with broken weapons, etc. This place had experienced endless battles.
The Red Sky Candle Dragon is the richest and most valuable "mine" on the other side of the starry sky. In order to compete for this "mine", various forces have been fighting for hundreds of millions of years, and countless people have died.
As of today, the power structure has stabilized. Lingxiaoding is jointly controlled by the four major Tianmen and the four major colleges. All the dragon blood crystals produced here are equally divided among these eight forces.
One after another, the airships arrived, and people from the four major Tianmen and the four major colleges arrived at the top of Lingxiao one after another.
Ye Chen saw many acquaintances, including Feng Yinxue from Daotian Academy, Jun Moyuan, Ling Shuhan, Yun Wanxi from Qingtian Confucian Sect, etc.
In addition, Ye Chen also saw Tian Qingzi and Jingliu Immortal Lord!
In the time and space of Wuwu, Tian Qingzi, as the envoy of Tianjing Ancient Temple, wanted to attract the God of Beauty to ascend and canonize the God of Beauty as the Holy Mother of Heavenly Light. Ye Chen refused, and a shocking battle broke out with Tian Qingzi. He spent endless means to kill the other party.
The origin of his great path has been destroyed.
But now, Tian Qingzi has been resurrected, and he is on the flying boat of Tianjing Ancient Palace, arriving together with the master of the palace, Jingliu Immortal Lord.
Ye Chen was shocked. He had a deep grudge with Tianjing Ancient Palace.
Tianjing Ancient Palace adheres to Taichu's will and wants to canonize the goddess of beauty as the Holy Mother. Ye Chen desperately tries to stop it, and the two sides have deep conflicts and grievances.
The origin of Tianqingzi Dao was destroyed, but he was still resurrected. It seems that he had a ray of soul light sealed in the veins of Tianjing Ancient Palace, so he could be resurrected.
However, to Ye Chen now, Tian Qingzi is no longer important, he is just a minion.
The one who really made Ye Chen feel threatened was the Jingliu Immortal!
Kyoryu Immortal Lord's whole body is filled with mirror light and moonlight. She is gorgeous, bright, holy, aloof, and exudes a motherly aura of life. She is very slender, but her slender body exudes the depth of great motherhood.
Brilliance, looks a little weird.
It seemed that it was not her light or her breath, but another person's breath, forcibly imposed on her weak body.
Legend has it that Kyoryu Senzun is the incarnation of Houtu Empress. The full name of Houtu Empress is "Chengtian imitates Houtu Emperor Diqi" and is one of the four imperial gods.
Currently, the other side of the starry sky is in the New Heaven Era. It is controlled by the four heavenly gates. Each of the four heavenly gates rules one side of the starry sky. The gods they believe in are the Four Gods!
It can be said that currently on the other side of the starry sky, the most dazzling and authoritative pillar gods are the Four Gods.
Jingliu Immortal Lord is not only the master of Tianjing Ancient Palace, but also the supreme god!
She is not a spokesperson, but the incarnation of the real Pillar God!
Ye Chen thought that Jingliu Immortal Lord would hate him very much, after all, he ruined the plan of Tianjing Ancient Palace, but unexpectedly, Jingliu Immortal Lord cast his gaze with a detached indifference, as if he was looking at a person. Strangers don't have any mood swings.
In addition to the Tianjing Ancient Palace led by Jingliu Immortal Lord, the flying boats of the other three Tianmen also descended on the top of Lingxiao.
The three heavenly gates are: Shenbing Villa, Ten Thousand Stars Palace, and Rainbow Rain Temple!
Ye Chen saw Shen Lian, the owner of Shenbing Villa, at a glance. He was a young man with a tall figure who was filled with sword intent. It was he who killed Emperor Yan Tian Lie with a sword from a distance.
The heads of the Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Palace and the Rainbow Rain Temple were hidden in the cabins of their respective ships and did not show up, but Ye Chen could vaguely capture two powerful auras.
In this Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony, the four heavenly sects did not send anyone to participate, but the heads of the four heavenly sects all sent out in order to select outstanding college students and introduce them to their own sects.
The prizes for the conference are basically provided by the four major Tianmen, and this starry martial arts performance is mainly organized by them. The purpose of the organization is very simple, which is to select outstanding students from the four major colleges.
For students from the four major colleges, this conference is an excellent opportunity to perform. Those with outstanding performance can directly join the four major Tianmen.
Of course, after Jiucang College made its stance clear and launched the banner of revitalizing Jiutian, the Four Heavenly Gates stopped recruiting students from Jiucang College.
After all, now is the New Heaven Era. For the four heavenly sects, everything about Jiutian is taboo. It may bring disaster to the era and shake the rule of the four heavenly sects.
However, Jiucang Academy is one of the four major academies, and its influence is deeply rooted. Dean Feng Wuya is backed by the Sword Emperor. The Sword Emperor is known for his short temper and domineering temper, and the four major Tianmen do not dare to break up easily.
Jiucang College also occupies a share of the "mine" of Chixiao Zhulong, and the four heavenly gates cannot expel it.
Another reason is that the four heavenly gates are not monolithic. Each has its own calculations and wants to unify the starry sky, and no one wants to obey the other.
The opponents are not united, which gives Jiucang Academy an opportunity to develop.
After years of open and covert struggle, the four Tianmen and Jiucang Academy have now formed a tacit balance.
Jiucang Academy can participate in the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony and compete for prizes, but students from the academy can no longer join the four heavenly sects.
As for Jiucang Academy's desire to revitalize Jiutian, the four Tianmen are not afraid. After all, Jiucang Academy only has one force, and the four Tianmen stand like four pillars. How can Jiucang Academy be able to shake it?
As long as Jiucang Academy is not given a chance to break through from within, the rule of the four Tianmen is as stable as Mount Tai, and they can slowly crush Jiucang Academy to death just by relying on resource suppression.
What the four Tianmen are afraid of is that there are students, spies, and secret agents from Jiucang Academy within their own sects, leaving hidden dangers of internal and external collusion.
Check out the correct version one by one!
As long as there is no such hidden danger, the four heavenly gates are confident that their rule will be unbreakable.
Therefore, in this Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony, Jiucang Academy students will not have the opportunity to enter the four heavenly gates, and can only compete for rankings and prizes.
Of course, for the students of Jiucang Academy, they are here for the prizes and have no interest in entering the four heavenly gates.
Ye Chen has already found out that as long as he can pass the preliminary round and enter the semi-finals, he can get various rich prizes, such as dragon blood crystal, purple sky spirit crystal, blue moon fairy grass, red gold blood ginseng, Xuanshuang spirit fruit and so on.
These prizes are also valuable resources for Ye Chen, enough to allow him to truly enter the Sun and Moon Realm.
And if you can become the champion, you can directly receive the "Baptism of Tianmen"!
The so-called "Tianmen Baptism" means that the heads of the four Tianmen jointly grant blessings. The champion receives the blessings and baptism, and the dust is washed away. His cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds and soar to the sky.
In addition, the academy to which the champion belongs can also gain control of the Star Abyss of Destruction for a hundred years.
The Shattered Star Abyss was originally a piece of territory that the four heavenly sects were fighting for. Years of fighting had caused heavy casualties to the four heavenly sects. They all felt tired and simply agreed to let it go together and treat the dominance of the Broken Star Abyss as a prize.
, awarded to the champion academy.
In this way, if Champion Academy cultivates any elites and enters the four heavenly gates in the future, each of the four heavenly gates will have its own benefits.
Ye Chen always felt that this final reward was a bit ridiculously rich.
His recent performance has been extremely dazzling. He can be said to be the brightest new star on the other side of the starry sky. He is the favorite to win the championship. The four heavenly gates actually gave up the Destroyed Star Abyss. Wouldn't it be a waste of money for him to give it to Jiucang Academy?
Could it be that there is some conspiracy and trap behind this?
Out of a warrior's intuition, Ye Chen felt that things were not simple.
"Why hasn't Beiyao College come yet?"
"Everyone else is here, why don't we see anyone from Beiyao College?"
"They won't have any accidents, right? After all, in the Northern Cold Territory, there are constant snowstorms and natural disasters every year. Could it be that they were delayed by natural disasters?"
…
At this time, Ye Chen heard the whispers of people around him, and they all looked a little surprised. It turned out that the conference was about to start, but no one from Beiyao College had arrived yet.
People from the four major Tianmen, Jiucang Academy, Daotian Academy, and Qingtian Confucian Sect have all gathered at the top of Lingxiao, but Beiyao Academy has not appeared.
This Beiyao College is one of the four major colleges in the starry sky, and it can be said to be the most special one. They obviously have strong strength, but they do not want to occupy the blessed land of Cave Heaven, but stick to the Northern Cold Realm where the sky is raging and the blizzard is raging.
A constantly bad place.
It is said that in order to protect the starry sky from being eroded by the abyss, they would rather endure all kinds of natural disasters and guard the Northern Cold Realm.
The students of Beiyao College call themselves "Night Watchers". They are people who stubbornly believe in the doomsday prophecy of the abyss, which means that one day, the abyss will roll in like a tide and swallow up the starry sky, and the Northern Cold Realm is the first place where the abyss rises.
One stop.
If we could guard this place forever, the abyss would not be able to rage, and the end would never come.
This is the belief of Beiyao College, but in the eyes of most people, those students who call themselves "Night Watchers" are just a group of over-zealous and crazy-minded beings. They believe in the Taiyi star among the seven-star gods, that is,
Emperor Taiyi, the controller of the laws of order.
They believe that they protect the order of the starry sky. As long as the starry sky has eternal order, they can obtain eternal peace and transcendence together with Emperor Taiyi.
Just when everyone was talking, the air suddenly became colder, and the noise in the audience suddenly became much quieter. Only a flying boat was seen, slowly sailing into the realm of Lingxiaoding.
The flying boat was actually made purely out of ice, and it exuded a harsh aura of coldness. The flying ice boat even made the air much colder.
"Coming!"
"People from Beiyao College are here."
"Why are there only three people?"
"Where is their principal Huanyun Ji?"
…
Everyone's eyes turned to the ice boat. The ice boat was the flying boat of Beiyao College.
But there were only three people on the ice boat, which was really beyond everyone's expectation.
This Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony is a grand event. According to usual practice, the deans of the four major colleges will attend, and the heads of the four major Tianmen will also attend to select suitable students.
Now all the other big shots are here, except for Beiyao College, only three people are here.
There were three people, one man and two women. The man was a burly giant, six feet tall, with muscles as strong as a giant bear. He was dressed in white snow bear skin.
Its size is extremely rare even across the starry sky.
The other two women, one dressed in white and the other in black, were actually twin sisters, with identical looks, as if carved from ice and snow, very pure and charming, with graceful and slender figures.
"It's the two sisters Mu Yaoguang and Mu Youying! I didn't expect it to be these two people. These two sisters are so beautiful. They are like beauties carved from ice and snow. They are worthy of being one of the five beauties in the starry sky."
Many people present looked at the twin sisters, their eyes lit up, and they made tut-tsk sounds.
The two sisters were as if carved from ice, pure and bright, with fair skin without any flaws. They were like unparalleled works of art. They were indeed extremely beautiful.
Even Ye Chen, who has had countless girls, his eyes lit up when he saw the twin sisters.
Among the five beauties on the other side of the starry sky, Beiyao College accounts for two, namely these two sisters. Their reputations are as good as Ling Qingya's.
In terms of strength, they are naturally not as good as Ling Qingya by a single hair, but their beauty is not inferior at all. It is a kind of purity and coldness that comes from ice and snow and is not stained by the dust of the world. One glance at them makes people want to compare the two sisters to each other.
