"Father, well, I'm not doing this just to liven up the atmosphere! Why are you here?"
"Enliven the atmosphere. Huh! There will be no peace in the family if you liven up the atmosphere. I'm here to tell you that in this year's battle of geniuses, the family has decided to let you play." The middle-aged man said seriously!
"Father" Zhou Xing was so moved that he could not speak. He was not unhappy because of his father's previous lesson. Although this was a family decision, his father must have done a lot of work against everyone's opinions. Thinking of this, Zhou Xing couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.
"Okay, you can rest. Just let the battle of geniuses take its course." After saying this, Zhou Yaotian stood up and left.
Zhou Xing secretly made up his mind in his heart that he would never embarrass his father in this battle between geniuses. Then he sat cross-legged, started practicing Xuan Gong, and started practicing hard.
…
Speaking of every battle between Tianjiao, it is a major event in Zhuxia Continent. Every family attaches as much importance to the college entrance examination as we do to the college entrance examination.
In Zhuxia Continent, hundreds of millions of people practice martial arts. Martial arts cultivation is the only theme of the mainland. Everyone wants to cultivate the power of the gods and leave a legend about themselves in their lifetime. It is said that a god appeared in Zhuxia Continent - Emperor Xia Yu. It is said that the great emperor is so powerful that he can move mountains and fill seas, and is omnipotent. The Great Xia Dynasty was a huge dynasty established by Emperor Xia Yu. It spread across every land in the Xia Continent and stood for tens of thousands of years.
As for whether gods appeared in Zhuxia Continent much earlier, people don't know. People only know that those who become gods dominate the world and are worshiped by hundreds of millions of people.
No one wants to spend their whole life doing nothing, and this concept is even more obvious in Zhuxia Continent.
On this continent, Xuan Gong has almost reached its peak due to the efforts of countless generations. Even ordinary people are practicing Xuan Gong in order to strengthen their bodies and extend their lifespan. Xuan Gong has become closely related to human daily life.
More and more people practice Xuan Gong. The competition will become more intense. This also resulted in the Xia Continent being filled with numerous sects, dense families, and talented people. No matter what level, competition is fierce.
The Zhuxia Continent is vast and boundless, with heaven and earth united and divided into nine states.
One country, nine states, hundreds of sects, thousands of cities, and thousands of families, this is the political structure of Zhuxia Continent. Every dynasty has a strict hierarchical system, and here is still no exception. There are layers of management, layers of suppression, and strict hierarchy. Within the dynasty, the family is not as good as the city, the city is not as good as the sect, the sect is not as good as the state, and the state is not as good as the imperial city.
One country refers to the Daxia Dynasty. The Daxia Dynasty is the sole ruler of this continent. It is said that the Daxia Dynasty has been inherited for more than 100,000 years and has a long history. There are many masters in the imperial city. Within the Great Xia Dynasty, no matter where they were, no matter whether they were poor or rich, all talented people would be sent to the capital of Great Xia through layers of selection systems and become the backbone of the defense of the Great Xia Dynasty. Through such a virtuous cycle, the Daxia Dynasty had more and more masters, its national power became stronger, and its control became tighter.
Kyushu refers to: Boyin Prefecture, Qinglang Prefecture, Jinjin Prefecture, Aowo Prefecture, Wutao Prefecture, Kundeutero Prefecture, Suanbin Prefecture, Haozhe Prefecture, and Xia Shenzhou.
Xia Shenzhou is in the middle of the Xia Continent, and the other eight major states are located in all directions. Therefore, they are collectively called the nine major states, but the other eight major states cannot be compared with Xia Shenzhou. For example, there is a popular saying in Qinglang Prefecture: The land of Qinglang is not as good as a grain of dust in Guozhou. This sentence fully demonstrates Xia Shenzhou's status.
Xia Shenzhou, also known as Guozhou. The area is very vast, as large as the remaining eight states combined. The Great Xia Dynasty stands on Xia Shenzhou and manages the entire continent. The remaining eight major states have state cities, and the state cities manage dozens of sects in the state!
Hundreds of sects, thousands of cities, and thousands of families are like numerous branches and leaves, so I won’t introduce them in detail here.
As of now, people in Zhuxia Mainland know about it. The realm of cultivation is divided into: mortal, monarch, overlord, holy lord, emperor lord and emperor lord. Of these six realms, the first three realms are called the masters, and the last three realms are called the masters. Each major realm contains nine small realms, ranging from level one to level nine, with level nine being the highest level.
As for whether there will be other great realms in the future, people in the Xia Continent do not know, but it is said that Emperor Xia Yu ten thousand years ago was only called the emperor, but he had become a god and established a ten thousand year dynasty.
…
Yunxi City is a larger city within the influence of Lieyang Sect in Qinglang Prefecture in Zhuxia Continent. Compared with other cities, Yunxi City is not only larger in area, but also has the most advantageous geographical location. Its population, economy, and comprehensive profound strength level are first-rate in the entire Lieyang Sect. Yunxi City is even more concerned by the Lieyang Sect, and even many of the elders in the Lieyang Sect are from the four major families in Yunxi City. Therefore, the Zhou family, Wang family, Chu family, and Yan family are the real giants in Yunxi City.
Yunxi City has been particularly lively these days. The reason is naturally the upcoming battle of geniuses. This battle of geniuses is not just a competition among the younger generation. In terms of purpose, this is like our college entrance examination and the ancient imperial examination, which is a unique talent selection system in Zhuxia Continent.
On that day, all the geniuses in Yunxi City will gather at the Tianjiao Platform. Then they compete with each other and list the rankings. Those with higher rankings can get very generous rewards. This kind of reward is very exciting for every family.
The talented genius will directly enter the sight of the Lieyang Sect envoy. From then on, he entered the Lieyang Sect to practice, cultivated supreme magical skills, gained a high status, and was admired by thousands of people. The family's status will also rise as a result. This kind of honor is enough to make every family excited. so! The battle of Tianjiao is definitely a big event that can shock the entire Yunxi City.
In Yunxi City, the flow of people is surging, and everyone is busy.
On the street, the sound of hawking, the sound of carriages and horses, and the sound of discussion reached my ears. The topic that people are talking about is nothing more than - the battle of geniuses.
The largest restaurant in Yunxi City - Tianmeng Restaurant. The crowd was all talking and talking.
"I heard that this battle of Tianjiao is different from the past!" A bearded man said, "This battle of Tianjiao, it is said that not only the Lieyang Sect, but also other sects have arrived."
"Yes, I don't know what agreement they made with Lieyang Sect. In short, a large number of geniuses may be poached by other sects this time." A thin man said with a slight worry.
"The Lieyang Sect is our own sect. If my son dares to join another sect, I will break his legs." A tall and round man said.
"Everyone, tell me, who do you favor in this battle of geniuses?"
"It goes without saying that it must be Wang Dai'er, the princess of our Wang family." said an old man with a red face. Everyone knows this old man, he is a guest of the Wang family. This is really shameless and not modest. But what they said is right, there is no need to be modest.
"That's not necessarily true. You have to know that in Yunxi City, we have more than one twelve-year-old genius. The young master of the Zhou family is also amazing!"
"Hey, there are two of us, you know. Sooner or later, we have to enter the same house. Whoever is good doesn't need to worry about us."
A person next to him said with a lewd smile.
"You are wrong. Although they are very talented, their cultivation time is so short. I think Young Master Chu and Young Master Yan are more likely to win." This person obviously supports the Chu Yan family.
"Hahaha, this is definitely a dragon-tiger fight that you can't miss. It is said that many reclusive masters will come out with their disciples this time."
"Yes, I heard that Taoist Zhou Mei has taught a good apprentice. That young man, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Yes, that young man's name is Qing Ning. It is said that he is not inferior to the geniuses of these big families."
…
Everyone was arguing in full swing, and suddenly a senior man with eagle eyes said: "You said that the Lieyang Sect allowed other sects to participate in the battle of Tianjiao this time. Is there any big change in the Lieyang Sect? The power is not as good as before?".
"Shh! I heard that the Supreme Elder of Lieyang Sect is critically ill..."
"Fuck you. Can you two chat?" the crowd said.
The two people laughed and said: "We have heard about it, just heard about it."
Everyone stared at the two men and started talking about other topics. But as everyone knows, although what these two people said may be a bit unpleasant, they got the truth of the matter right.
The death of the Supreme Elder of the Lieyang Sect is approaching, the Lieyang Sect is weak, and other sect forces are eyeing it. The Lieyang Sect is in a state of turmoil for a while.
But no matter what happens to the Lieyang Sect, this battle between the geniuses is undoubtedly a rare one in a thousand years. Geniuses will have more opportunities to enter large sects.
Because of the special nature of this Tianjiao battle, the four major families in Yunxi City are now very busy. Everyone knows that this battle between geniuses is both an opportunity and a challenge. All families want their disciples to stand out in this challenge...
now.
Zhou's house was a magnificent room. Zhou Xing was sitting cross-legged on the huge bed, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, like a monk chanting sutras.
A faint golden light emitted from him, and the golden light swirled and shimmered around him. Under the guidance of the golden light, countless profound energy entered Zhou Xing's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ten breaths later, a majestic power surged out of Zhou Xing's body. Even Zhou Xing himself didn't notice that a golden token was looming above his head.
The word "against the sky" is engraved on the token, which is very dazzling. The quilt on the bed was immediately torn into pieces by this energy, the tables and chairs in the room exploded instantly, and countless pieces of debris flew everywhere.
The room that was spotless just a moment ago turned into a mess in no time. After a storm, Zhou Xing regained his breath and slowly opened his eyes from the meditative state.
"Young Master, are you okay?" A middle-aged man with a slightly weathered face suddenly opened the door and asked, "Is there something wrong with your cultivation?"
"Uh, Uncle Liu, it's okay." Zhou Xing looked at the middle-aged man and said slightly embarrassed. "I don't know what's going on. Ever since I woke up last time, I've had this problem in my practice."
"Young Master, you'd better pay more attention and tell me if you feel something is wrong." A trace of worry flashed in Uncle Liu's eyes.
Zhou Xing caught this trace of worry and couldn't help but feel a little moved. He smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. Uncle Liu doesn't have to keep it in mind. By the way, Uncle Liu, why did you come to see me?"
The middle-aged man is Liu Lin, the housekeeper of the entire Zhou family. Zhou Xing usually stayed with Zhou Xing's father. Unless there was something important, he would come over to inform Zhou Xing in person, so Zhou Xing asked.
"Your father asked you to go to his place and I'll give you something." Uncle Liu also put down his worries and said seriously. Then he pretended to be mysterious and said: "But it's a good thing you can't think of."
"oh!?"
"You will know if you come with me and take a look."
Zhou Xing followed Uncle Liu to his father's place after a while.
"Brother, the young master is here." Liu Lin said as soon as he entered the room, "His cultivation just now was a bit unstable."
"Uncle Liu." Zhou Xing turned to look at the man in the room and said, "Father, there is no big problem. Although it is not stable, the practice is still normal and there is no special reaction in the body."
"That's good, just pay more attention and it doesn't matter if you slow down your practice." The man frowned and said.
"Yeah." Zhou Xing responded.
"Come on, father, let me show you something." Zhou Yaotian laughed, got up from his chair, and pressed lightly on the wall. Click, click, and a groove of about ten centimeters appeared on the wall. Inside the groove, there is a box made of Lingmei Xuanyu.
Zhou Yaotian carefully took out the Lingmei Xuan Jade Box. He placed the box on the ebony table in the room. Then he opened the box, and immediately, a strong aroma overflowed from the box.
Zhou Xing exclaimed: "The Ancient Mysterious Pill."
Butler Liu said in surprise: "Boy, yes, I know everyone here. Your father spent a lot of money to get this. It is said that these things are robbed in Xia Shenzhou."
Zhou Xing couldn't explain why he could recognize this thing, why he blurted out its name just by smelling the aroma.
Logically speaking, he has never studied elixirs himself. Even if this thing is a more powerful magical elixir, he cannot possibly know it. However, he vaguely remembered where he had seen this thing. Was it in a dream? Zhou Xing couldn't figure it out and simply shook his head.
Zhou Yaotian was also surprised that Zhou Xing could know the Ancient Mysterious Pill, but he was more proud.
What I was thinking was, look how awesome my son is. At least this thing is unlikely to be known to the young people in Yunxi City. The son I gave birth to is wise.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, this ancient mysterious elixir contains a lot of energy. The lower the realm, the more it will be improved, and there are no other side effects. Father will give it to you now. , to help you win the first place in the battle of geniuses."
"Father, this ancient mysterious elixir will be of great use to you. You can stay here by yourself. I'm still young and it's the same as cultivating on my own." Zhou Xing said movedly.
Liu Lin said: "You don't have to be humble. The ancient divine elixir was specially prepared for you by your father. Young master, what you have to do is to practice hard and win the first place in the battle of geniuses!"
"That's right, the battle between geniuses depends on you." Zhou Yaotian said seriously.
Zhou Xing glanced at his father, then at Liu Lin, and slowly took the Ancient Mysterious Pill. His eyes were firm and he said, "I will definitely not let you down."
At night, Zhou Xing sat on the big bed and carefully held the Ancient Mysterious Pill in his mouth. Suddenly, he felt a majestic ocean of profound energy spurting out from the ancient mysterious core, as if his body was about to explode. Zhou Xing didn't dare to think too much and started running the Xuan Gong in a hurry.
He saw the golden token floating above his head without anyone noticing. Golden light poured down from the token like a waterfall, and the profound power of Zhou Xing's ancient divine elixir suddenly seemed to have found a place where it could be released.
