This competition is a grand event that happens only once every three years. Now it is a duel between Tianyuan masters. Cultivators from all over Dingbei want to feast their eyes on it.
And more people come with a learning attitude, especially practitioners who are stuck in a bottleneck and have not broken through for a long time. They just want to find a chance of enlightenment by watching the masters compete.
Therefore, those closest to the square are all people with profound cultivation. There are many practitioners in the early and middle stages of Tianyuan, as well as those in the later stages and even peak masters.
The number of people participating in the Tianyuan Realm competition is much smaller, about forty, and Zhou Tianzong will select ten from them to participate in the Dingbei competition.
There used to be twenty competition stages in the square, but today there are only ten left, and they are several times larger than before, and the distance between them has also been greatly increased, and the restrictions have been significantly strengthened, which shows that in the late Tianyuan period, The competition between cultivators is so powerful that it is infinitely more powerful than those in the Lingtai realm.
Even the adjudication deacons were replaced by all nine-level Tianyuan masters, a total of twenty.
If placed in a second- or third-rate sect, it would probably be difficult to produce so many late-stage Tianyuan masters. Besides, even those who have reached the ninth level of Tianyuan can serve as elders of the sect.
But Zhou Tianzong only let these people serve as adjudicating deacons. With such strength, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Fudo's figure appeared on the viewing platform.
His appearance once again made all the cultivators look at him. The power of the golden elixir is incomparable to that of others. It is a being that people look up to and is a true master in the world of cultivation.
The fake elixir sounds like it is only one step away from the golden elixir, but the difference is a thousand miles away.
To put it bluntly, the fake elixir is still at the peak level of Tianyuan, but it has only slightly understood the power of the golden elixir.
Tianyuan's breakthrough to the golden elixir is like a fish leaping over a dragon's gate. It will undergo earth-shaking changes. As long as it takes that step, everyone below the golden elixir will be ants.
But this is the step that many fake elixir masters have not taken until their life span is exhausted. Therefore, the realm of golden elixir is the lifelong goal of all cultivators.
The Immovable Master sat as straight as a pine tree. Although he said nothing, the practitioners did not dare to move.
After a while, the Great Elder Qiu Yiming whispered a few words. After receiving permission, he stood up and loudly announced the start of the competition.
Nan Tianlong looked confident and strode towards the competition stage.
His opponent was Yuanchu, the guardian Zuo of the Feilong Sect.
It has been a long time since he broke through the late Kaiyuan period at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and has already reached the peak of the ninth level. He is only one step away from being promoted, and his strength is equivalent to that of Nan Longtian.
The duel between them mainly focused on their state of mind and their understanding of the way of heaven, followed by Taoism and Taoism, and finally it was the turn of mana and magic weapon.
To participate in such a competition, no force would prepare a good magical weapon for them, and no one would be below the level of a quasi-magical weapon.
Zhou Yang had witnessed the duel between Nan Tianlong and Gong Xi Ao and knew how terrifying this human's Taoism was. His Great Burning Heaven Hand is a high-level Taoist technique. The flames formed by this technique are so powerful that they can burn gold and crack rocks. If you encounter someone at the same level, you can only retreat.
Moreover, his quasi-magic weapon is also a fire-based magic weapon, which is even more powerful. I wonder what the result will be when facing Nan Tianlong in the early Yuan Dynasty.
With the order of the Judgment Deacon, the competition begins.
Ten battles were going on at the same time, and the light inside the restricted shield was victorious for a while. The colorful colors dazzled everyone. In the early days of the Feilong Sect, there was the advanced Taoist technique Hanxue Zhiling, which happened to be in conflict with Nan Tianlong's attributes.
Nan Tianlong greeted each other with the Lihuo Jue, and the two of them came and went, sometimes freezing, sometimes blazing fire, and they had a great time fighting.
Zhou Yang couldn't take his eyes off, staring closely at Nan Tianlong's fingering when performing Taoist techniques, trying to understand something from it.
But his fingering was too fast and he was mumbling words, so nothing could be seen from the surface.
However, Zhou Yang was not disappointed. He was able to see the power of Taoism displayed by master Tianyuan. This view was definitely true.
The two have not yet used their strongest strength, and are both in the stage of testing each other. In addition to the use of advanced Taoism, there are also collisions between the best magic weapons from time to time.
They all have more than one top-quality magic weapon, with different shapes and styles, and even more different powers.
Zhou Yang marveled at the powerful magic power of the two men, and also marveled at their understanding of their respective attributes.
If the attributes of water and fire are not understood to a deep level, even advanced Taoism will not be able to exert its due power.
"What, he actually has thirty-two heavenly points!"
"At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it actually reached the primary cycle of Tianxuan!"
The war between Nan Tianlong and Yuan Chu has entered a substantial stage, and low-level quasi-magic weapons have begun to be used. At this moment, there was a burst of discussion in the viewing platform.
"Tianxue, what is this?" Zhou Yang's ears were extraordinary, and he naturally heard the discussion of the big shots. The audible clouds and mist made him confused.
He stretched his neck and looked at the competition stage between Nan Tianlong and Yuan Chu, but apart from the colorful colors, he couldn't see any clues at all.
Because there are only about forty late Tianyuan cultivators participating in the competition, the competition can end after two of the ten competition stages.
Those who have never seen a master fight will think that the battle will be over soon, but the facts prove that they are wrong.
A battle between masters in the late Tianyuan period was beyond the imagination of middle- and low-level cultivators. The first match lasted for an hour and a half before the two cultivators on the stage decided the winner.
The four people who came down from the competition stage No. 9 and No. 10 were all pale, and two of them were seriously injured and covered in blood.
The two winners were both Zhou Tianzong cultivators, and their injuries were relatively minor.
Zhou Yang heard this very clearly. One of them was Ke Lingyun, the deacon of Zhou Tianzong's teachings, and the other was Zu Qingwu, the deacon of the execution hall.
At this time, the battle between Nan Tianlong and Yuan Chu was still going on. The two men's magic power was gradually exhausted, and the power of the Great Burning Sky Hand was greatly reduced.
The linear cold current created by the advanced Taoism in the early Yuan Dynasty initially put great pressure on Nan Tianlong, and for a time he had the upper hand. However, after gradually adapting to it, the Great Burning Sky Hand and Han Liu were evenly matched, evenly matched.
The two of them had almost exhausted their magic power, so they had long ago given up on their quasi-magic weapons. From time to time, they fought with each other with Taoist magic, and they were close to physical combat, but there was still no winner.
There were fewer and fewer opponents on other competition stages, and finally only Li Youyu and Ming Qian on stage 8, and Nan Tianlong and Yuan Chu on stage 3 were left.
Li Youyu is the only female deacon in Zhou Tianzong's Foreign Affairs Hall, and she was the number one deacon in Zhou Tianzong's inner sect before Ming Dynasty.
There is no way, Zhou Tianzong has the largest number of people participating in the competition, and the first round of the duel cannot completely avoid fighting among the same sects.
At this time, Li Youyu on the stage was already out of breath, dripping with sweat, and the quasi-magical weapon he offered was also shaky.
Mingqian wasn't much better either, with multiple injuries on his body, and he was still fighting hard against the opponent.
"Junior sister Li, if this continues, both sides will lose. You and I are of equal strength. It's impossible to win or lose without exhausting our magic power. And entering the top ten is nothing more than obtaining a quasi-magic weapon.
It's better to do this, if you take the initiative to admit defeat and promise to your brother, then give junior sister a quasi-magic weapon afterwards. This also avoids a bloody battle between you and me. What do you think, junior sister? "Mingqian rolled his eyes and sent a message to Li Youyu.
"Well, Senior Brother Ming, there is no need for you and me to end up in a lose-lose situation. But being able to enter the top ten of the Dingbei University Competition is not as simple as just getting a quasi-magic weapon.
Not to mention the elixir materials and the like, the quasi-magic weapon of the reward is a truly ancient thing. If the gift from Senior Brother Ming was this kind of magic weapon, the younger sister would take the initiative to admit defeat. what do you think? "Li Youyu took over an army.
"You!" Mingqian was choked and speechless. If he really had an ancient quasi-magic weapon, why would he fight to be among the top ten in Dingbei?
"Okay, okay! Junior sister doesn't appreciate it, so don't blame me for being rude!" Mingqian gritted his teeth and at the same time poured mana into the quasi-magic weapon.
The rays of light emitted by the quasi-magic weapon suddenly doubled in size and quickly enveloped Li Youyu.
Li Youyu's pressure increased sharply, and the runes on the surface of the top-quality shield in front of him flickered, and then dimmed one by one, and he was about to collapse.
Li Youyu clenched his silver teeth, and suddenly shook one hand, and several red lights shot out, heading straight for the upper, middle and lower plates in front of Ming Dynasty.
After throwing out the red light, Li Youyu instantly became sluggish, and the top-quality magic shield also quickly shrunk.
When Mingqian saw the other party throw out the red light, there was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he couldn't help blurting out: "You, you really got the blood talisman needle!"
In desperation, he hurriedly used the best magic shield, but the blood talisman needle was incredibly fast. Mingqian's magic shield had just protected his heart and head, and the blood talisman needle was already in front of him.
Three of them hit the shield, and two of them were blocked, but one of them penetrated the shield's protection and penetrated more than two inches into Mingqian's chest.
The other three blood talisman needles hit Mingqian's lower abdomen and thighs, directly punching out three small blood holes.
Mingqian felt a huge pain in his body, and then he turned over and fell down.
Li Youyu couldn't hold on anymore and fell weakly onto the competition stage, but there was a smile on her face.
"Deacon Ming, can you still persist?" the adjudicating deacon in the audience asked loudly.
Mingqian fell down and had no time to answer his questions. He just took out a few pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
"Zhou Tianzong Foreign Affairs Deacon Li Youyu wins!" Seeing that there was no response before Ming Qian, the Judgment Deacon announced the result directly.
On the other competition stage, the winner was also decided at this time. Nan Tianlong suffered a heavy blow at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was also seriously injured, but it was a tragic victory!
It was noon when the first battle of the first round came to an end.
Among the ten winners, six were from the Zhou Tianzong, one from the Tianxing Sect, one from the Daxing Sect, one from the Chong family, and one from the Bai family.
The injured was helped down for treatment. Qiu Yiming, the great elder of Zhou Tianzong, announced an hour's break and continued the fight after three hours.
This fight shocked Zhou Yang greatly, even more than the one when he watched Gong Xiao and Nan Tianlong.
The duel between the twenty late-stage Tianyuan masters was shocking and heart-pounding, and the visual impact on him was too strong.
These people's advanced Taoist skills of various disciplines are endless, and the battles between quasi-magic weapons are exciting. At Zhou Yang's age, this is the first time he has watched such a large-scale duel between Tianyuan masters.
His heart was up and down and pounding as the duel progressed. If it were a low-level cultivator watching such a long-term duel, he would have a nervous breakdown.
