After putting away his cave, Zhan Chen walked out of the cave. It was noon at this time, and the scorching sun was shining down on his head, which made Zhan Chen's eyes feel a little uncomfortable. After a little movement of his muscles, he felt that he had adapted.
I noticed that the immortal energy flowing through my body was as turbulent as the Yangtze River. I couldn't help but raise my head to the sky and scream. This time in retreat, my immortal energy increased to four times its original size.
Not only has his immortality increased, but his strength has also been greatly improved, from the original 400 million kilograms to 500 million kilograms!
Since opening the door to the cultivation of the Body Immortal, Zhan Chen can increase part of his strength when he improves the realm of Immortal Yuan. The same improvement in strength will also increase the Immortal Yuan, which makes him much stronger than the same level.
Zhan Chen had already vaguely felt that the superior Yuanshen realm seemed to be calling him. The knowledge Sun Ke left behind was enough for him to break through this realm. However, after all, he had just stepped into the immortal realm.
Not only is there a shortcoming in the accumulation of Yuan Da Perfection, but it also requires a process of completely transforming Sun Ke's knowledge and experience into his own insights. Therefore, he still has a long way to go.
Zhan Chen looked at the time and felt dazed for a while. Unknowingly, it had been another twenty years since he had been in seclusion. Twenty years in the outside world was equivalent to sixty years in the cave, which was a full sixty years!
The great joy of the breakthrough in his heart disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was replaced by a sense of urgency. He could not be complacent about this achievement, he had to work harder, and besides joining the Qin Xiao Sect and obtaining information about the Hundred Flowers Sacred Scripture, he had already
It became his next key plan, and to join the Qinxiao Sect, the minimum cultivation requirement is the Yuanshen realm.
"If I haven't reached the Yuanshen realm, I can't even join the Qinxiao sect. If I haven't reached the Yuanshen realm, I can't even compete with Xiao Xie. Even if I go back, what will happen?" Zhan Chen's fists unknowingly moved.
Squeeze it tight.
After walking out of the jungle, he returned to Cangyue City again, but found that the atmosphere of this giant city was a little different today. There were lights and colorful decorations everywhere, as if there was some kind of celebration going on.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel curious, so he grabbed a passerby and asked: "Friend, do you know what our Cangyue City is going to do recently? Why is it so lively?"
The man glared at Zhan Chen, with a look as if he had seen a ghost, and said: "You don't know this, but in three months, the largest celebration of the Thirty-six Cangyue Alliance - the Demon Hunting Conference will be held in our Cangyue City.
Well, this is a grand event that only happens once in 500 years, and people from all over the country will come to watch the excitement."
"Monster Hunting Conference? What on earth is this?" Zhan Chen asked in confusion.
"Well, let me tell you, this demon hunting conference is a hunting conference jointly organized by Ouyang Hui, the city lord of Cangyue City, and the city lords of Cangyue Thirty-sixth City. The hunting targets are distributed around our Cangyue City.
powerful monsters in the area. At that time, each giant city will send a large representative team to participate, and according to the monsters hunted by each representative team,
The quantity and quality of the beasts will determine the winner. This is a supreme honor, because the Demon Hunting Conference has always been one of the best ways for the thirty-six cities to demonstrate their strong strength and establish their status among city-states.
.Therefore, the winner of each conference will not only receive generous rewards from the conference, but also have the opportunity to be received by the Lord of the City!"
"I see." Zhan Chen finally understood, and asked: "So are there any requirements for participating in this monster hunting competition?"
"Yes, first of all, a demon hunting team must be registered in the Demon Hunting Alliance to participate. Although the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Alliance is in our Cangyue City, there are also branches in other giant cities. The Demon Hunting Conference
The competition is divided into two stages: preliminary and final. The preliminary is held within each giant city to determine the ten strongest demon hunting teams, and then these teams will serve as representatives of their cities and participate in the finals."
"The entire demon hunting team in Cangyue City can participate, isn't that too much? In this way, the scale of the preliminary competition will be unimaginable!" Zhan Chen was surprised.
"That won't happen, because there are too many demon hunting teams in the Demon Hunting League, so there are restrictions on the qualifications. First, the average strength of the team must be above the Immortal Realm, with more than ten members, and
The number of completed demon hunting missions must reach more than 300. After such screening, the number of qualified demon hunting teams will be greatly reduced. The number of teams that can be qualified to participate in each round is only 400 to 500."
"Does every city-state have four hundred to five hundred branches?"
"That's not possible. Our Cangyue City is the largest giant city, that's why we have such a scale. Other giant cities usually only have two hundred to three hundred teams, and the least one only has more than a hundred teams."
"In this way, the scale is still very large."
"Yes, so such a grand event only happens once every five hundred years, and every time a lot of monsters have to be hunted."
Zhan Chen pondered for a moment, then immediately thought of two key questions, and then asked: "In this way, wouldn't it mean that the more members in the demon hunting team and the higher their cultivation level, the more likely they are to advance."
The man smiled and shook his head and said: "Theoretically, this is true, but this advantage can only be reflected in the screening in the preliminary stage. In the final stage, the rules will change."
"What changes?"
"First of all, among the ten teams participating in the finals, the ratio between the Yuan Shen Realm and the Immortal Yuan Realm is 30-70, which means that there can only be three demon hunting teams composed of strong people from the Yuan Shen Realm, all of which are composed of strong people from the Immortal Yuan Realm.
There are seven teams composed of demon hunters, in order to take care of the large number of demon hunting teams in the Xianyuan Realm, so that more people can be qualified to participate in the competition; secondly, there is a limit on the number of people, each demon hunting team participating in the finals,
The team size must be ten, no more than one person is allowed.”
"So what are the requirements to advance to the finals?"
"At the beginning of the monster hunting competition, a list of monsters will be provided to all participating teams. Only by hunting monsters in the list and obtaining their monster elixirs can points be obtained. The final result will be based on each team's
Arrange the total number of points obtained. The top three teams for the Yuanshen Realm Demon Hunting Team and the top seven for the Fairy Yuan Realm Demon Hunting Team will be chosen. These ten teams will represent the city-state and participate in the finals. By the way.
By the way, the finals also adopted the same scoring method."
"That's true, but I don't understand, is it meaningful to hold such a competition?"
"Why not? There are at least two."
"Which two?"
"The first is to promote the strength of our human race and intimidate the monsters through such competitions. After each competition, the monsters in various places will stop for a period of time; the second is to shuffle the rankings of the major city-states. You know
? In the Thirty-six Cangyue Alliance, our Cangyue City, Xueyue City, Haohan City and other powerful giant cities have long occupied
In the first echelon, other giant cities must pay 10% to 30% of their annual total income as taxes to us. The basis is based on the ranking results of this monster hunting competition.
In other words, if our city, Cangyue City, is at the bottom of the competition, we may have to pay 30% of the tax to other giant cities."
"So domineering!" After hearing what the man said, Zhan Chen couldn't help but be shocked.
"Well, these are the rules that our Thirty-Six Cang Yue Alliance has set since ancient times."
"I don't understand. Isn't the strength ranking of a giant city determined by the cultivation of the city lord and the size of the giant city?"
"I heard that it was indeed what you said in ancient times, but this is unfair and caused fierce resistance from other city-states, making the Cangyue area in the flames of war all year round. In addition, monsters took advantage of the opportunity to enter, and the people were devastated.
.So later
, the major giant cities sat down to negotiate, and decided not to use factors such as the size of a giant city and the strength of the city's leader to determine the ranking of city-states, but to use peaceful competition methods. In this way, weak city-states also have
Might win the game."
"So that's it." Zhan Chen finally understood the origin and significance of the competition, and he asked again: "So, isn't the Demon Hunting Competition of great significance to every city-state?"
"Yes, especially for weak city-states, this is a rare opportunity to change their disadvantageous position."
At this point, Zhan Chen finally had a rough understanding of the demon hunting conference and said goodbye to that person.
Walking on the street, he unconsciously thought of Hua Wutie, and guessed that Hua Wutie and his Huayue Demon Hunting Team would also probably participate in this monster hunting competition. When he came back to his senses,
When he found that he had unknowingly walked to the door of Hua Yuantie's house, he couldn't help but was stunned, but he still knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Hua Wutie himself came out to greet the guests. When he saw Zhan Chen, he had a look of disbelief on his face, pointed at him and asked: "You, are you Brother Zhan?"
Zhan Chen nodded with a smile and said, "What's wrong, brother, don't you recognize me?"
"Your cultivation is only twenty years old!"
Zhan Chen suddenly realized that, indeed, it only took twenty years to jump from an intermediate level Immortal Yuan strongman to a Immortal Yuan Dzogchen strongman. This was beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding. He subconsciously touched himself.
nose, covering up: "I had some adventures in the secret realm of the void, so——"
As soon as he said this, Hua Wutie put his arm around his shoulders warmly and said with a smile: "Hahaha, brother, stop talking. Brother Zhan, you are a genius. I can't compare with you. You become stronger."
, Brother, I am sincerely happy, let’s go! Let’s go drink and celebrate your breakthrough in cultivation!”
So Zhan Chen was dragged to a restaurant by Hua Wutie to drink. The two were drinking in high spirits. Zhan Chen asked: "Brother Hua, will you participate in this monster hunting conference?"
"Haha, no need to ask, I will definitely participate. To tell you the truth, I have participated in the Demon Hunting Conference three times, and I remember reaching the top ten. But at that time, Team Flower Moon was not born yet, and I was still a member of Team Tiger
As a member of the team, it was because I received the reward from the competition that I broke through the realm of Immortal Yuan Dzogchen in one fell swoop, and established my own company, the Huayue Team." Speaking of this, Hua Wutie's eyes showed a look of reminiscence.
"Oh, it seems that reaching the finals will be quite profitable."
"Yes, each person can get at least hundreds of thousands of high-grade immortal stones alone. The most important thing is not the immortal stone, but the glory. Everyone will treat you as a hero. That sense of pride - don't mention it."
"Be a hero?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that this matter was becoming troublesome. With his character, he didn't like to be famous, but preferred to stay in a corner alone and become stronger secretly.
At this moment, Hua Wutie suddenly held Zhan Chen's hand and said to him sincerely: "Brother Zhan, come with us, Huayue Team needs you very much!"
