The result of the competition was just as Tang Zhirou guessed, Zheng Dong's apprentice Yunyangzi won the first place.
Of course, he only ranks first in points. In terms of strength, there are several Nascent Soul stage monks in the prehistoric times who can rival him.
Chen Mo obviously still underestimated the strength of other Nascent Soul Stage monks and only got second place.
This was still the case when Ning Daoxuan and a group of older monks from the ancient times had no fate.
The quota for Chunshen Realm this time is only the first batch. Later, when these people have established a firm foothold, more monks will go to Chunshen Realm.
Besides, with Ning Daoxuan's qualifications in the Extraordinary Association, if he really wanted to go to Chunshen Realm, he would not have to participate in this competition. The only pity is that he could not get the Lei Chi Body Tempering quota awarded to the first place by Tang Zhirou.
This is a treasure that all Yuanying stage monks, including Ning Daoxuan, covet.
Today's prehistoric monks have a very clear understanding of the subsequent realm of immortality.
The Nascent Soul, the Yuanshen, transcends tribulations, becomes a true Mahayana Immortal, and becomes an Earth Immortal, becoming immortal and enjoying endless lifespan.
The Thunder Pool Tempering Body helps the monks condense into a semi-immortal body when they are in the soul stage or the tribulation stage.
In fact, the thunder tribulations that monks undergo have the effect of tempering the body, but during the tribulation period, monks have to survive nine times in a row to achieve the body of a semi-immortal.
Moreover, surviving thunder tribulations becomes more dangerous each time, and is far less "gentle" than the Thunder Pool Tempering Body.
They have all cultivated to the stage of transcending tribulation. As long as there is a choice, who is willing to commit suicide?
Moreover, what is even more uncomfortable is that there is no thunder catastrophe to overcome in the prehistoric times.
The monks in the Chunshen Realm rely on the Thunder Tribulation Platform, an immortal weapon from the Thunder Department of the Immortal Courtyard, to survive the thunder tribulation.
There is no such treasure in ancient times.
Therefore, when the monks in the prehistoric era reached the stage of transcending tribulations and wanted to temper their bodies through thunder tribulations, they could first borrow the thunder tribulation platform in the Immortal Court of Chunshen Realm, and the second would use the thunder pool.
The Thunder Tribulation Platform is one of the most important immortal weapons of the Lei Department, and it is also where their authority lies. If you want to borrow it, it is as difficult as going to heaven.
As for the prehistoric monks who sneaked into Chunshen Realm and then turned around, it was obviously impossible.
Zheng Dong will use Invert Taixu Glazed Wall on all the monks who go to Chunshen Realm this time to hide the secrets of heaven, so as to prevent them from being discovered by the original consciousness of Chunshen Realm.
It is necessary to use the Inversion of Taixu Glazed Wall, otherwise, all the monks in Chunshen Realm will attack him.
However, once Zheng Dong used the Inversion of Taixu Glazed Wall on the Primordial Monk, although he avoided being discovered by the original consciousness of Chunshen Realm, it would also cause the predicament of the Primordial Monk being unable to survive the tribulation after reaching the tribulation stage in Chunshen Realm.
.
Therefore, using the thunder pool to achieve the body of a semi-immortal is their only way to become a true Mahayana immortal.
As for the Immortal Transformation Pond with a higher level of body tempering effect, I don't even dare to hope for it.
Something like the Immortal Pond, even by Zheng Dong, may take a lot of effort to refine. It is almost impossible to popularize it across the board.
At least it's not possible for the time being.
...
City of Ten Thousand Stars.
The headquarters of the Extraordinary Association stands in the sky of Ten Thousand Stars City. It is the most conspicuous floating city in Ten Thousand Stars City.
Basically, in various cities in Nanzhan continent, only the most important buildings or forces are allowed to build floating cities to avoid causing chaos.
The area of this floating city does not look large from the outside, and is not even as large as the Penglai Island on Earth.
But when you fly into the floating city, you will find that there is a special cave here, and the area is at least ten thousand times larger than what it looks like from the outside.
Cave technology!
At present, the prehistoric cave technology is very mature. At the beginning, only the top bosses of the Extraordinary Association could use it.
At that time, they also called it a blessed land.
But now, through research and development by the General Administration of Alchemy and private research institutions below, the cost of Dongtian technology is getting lower and lower.
Nowadays, the market price of customizing a private Dongtian mansion is about 10 Lingshi coins/square meter.
Of course, the bosses definitely don't need it, they can arrange the cave themselves.
But the boss doesn’t need it, the low-level monks are very interested!
Especially those wealthy low-level monks.
Nowadays, with the continuous expansion of the ancient world and the continuous growth of the monk group, the second generation of immortals emerge one after another.
Not all monks are pure-minded and devoted to cultivation.
In fact, ascetic monks like Zheng Dong accounted for a very small number in the ancient times.
Although monks have ambitions to seek the Great Way, most monks know how slim their chances of becoming immortals are.
Instead of doing this, it is better to start enjoying it after achieving certain achievements.
After some monks reach a certain level of cultivation, they realize that it is difficult to move forward, so they get married, have children, spread their branches and establish a family of cultivators.
The children born in such a family of immortals are the second generation of immortals.
Moreover, with the expansion of the prehistoric monk group, there are more and more such second-generation immortal groups.
This group, just like the rich second generation among ordinary people, occupies a large amount of resources compared to ordinary people.
To a certain extent, there is a certain opposition between the second-generation immortals and the monks born from ordinary people.
Of course, this is all the opposition of the lower-level monks.
For high-level monks, this opposition does not exist.
Because the strength of high-level monks is the guarantee of their status. Although background is important, it is not absolute.
Just like Tang Zhirou, even if she is not Zheng Dong's disciple, no monk would dare to offend her in the slightest.
Therefore, the Dongtian Market is a fortune so huge that no force can ignore it.
Market demand has caused major forces to invest even more crazily in researching this technology.
As a result, the rapid development and popularization of cave technology is understandable.
The headquarters of the Extraordinary Association is a super-large Dongtian Mansion, which is also the largest Dongtian Mansion in the prehistoric times.
Zheng Dong's cave is not as big as Zheng Dong's. Of course, Zheng Dong doesn't need such a big cave.
...
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
High in the sky, streaks of escaping light landed on the floating city at the headquarters of the Extraordinary Association.
These monks are all at the Golden Core stage or above.
In addition to the Nascent Soul monks, the Golden Core monks also participated in the selection competition, but Zheng Dong didn't care much about the Golden Core monks and didn't watch their games much.
Anyway, it is not clear whether the monks at the Golden Core stage are monsters or not. Unlike the monks at the Nascent Soul stage, there are people who can actually understand the laws. This is the reason why Zheng Dong is interested.
Otherwise, given his temperament, he would never come to watch this talent selection competition.
Above the central square of the floating city.
The black monks landed in the square.
One hundred thousand Jindan stage monks, 10,000 Nascent Soul stage monks, a total of 110,000 monks.
The strength of these monks is nothing in the Chunshen world.
If Zheng Dong's strength was not taken into account, the strength of a slightly larger sect would be completely overpowering theirs.
But these people were the seeds for Zheng Dong to conquer Chunshen Realm.
Regardless of the fact that their current cultivation level is not high, it is because of their short cultivation time and the constraints of the prehistoric environment.
If it were Chunshen Realm, Zheng Dong believed that some of them would be able to break through to the Yuanshen stage soon.
A genius monk like Chen Mo, once he breaks through the Yuan Shen stage and undergoes the thunder pool tempering process, his strength will immediately be comparable to that of the monks who are in the Tribulation Stage. They are not just ordinary Tribulation Stage monks, but can at least be comparable to those in the mid-Tribulation Stage.
