In the center of Tianyun City, there is a Divine Stone Square.
In the center of the square, a huge rhombus-shaped meteorite stands tall. Part of it is sunk deep into the ground. The exposed meteorite is a hundred meters high. It is astonishingly spectacular.
According to legend, this meteorite suddenly fell from the sky thousands of years ago and landed on this wasteland. At that time, Tianyun City did not exist yet.
It is said that when the meteorite first fell to the ground, it would emit a bright silver light whenever the moonlight shined at night. However, this phenomenon will dim every other day, until ten years later, the meteorite stops glowing completely and becomes an ordinary stone.
The Merchant Alliance regarded this meteorite as a sacred stone and built Tianyue City around it.
A few years later, Tianyun City has developed into the largest city in the Merchant Alliance and is also the center of the Merchant Alliance.
Although the meteorite has long lost its previous silver light, the warriors of the Merchant Alliance still regard it as a gift from God and regard it as a sacred stone.
The Shenshi Square was built because of this meteorite.
Lovers in the business alliance, after falling in love, will come to the Sacred Stone Square and make a sweet oath in front of the Sacred Stone, using the meteorite as a witness of their love.
Every martial arts meeting of the Merchant Alliance is held in the special place of Shenshi Square.
Today, Shenshi Square is bustling with people. Around the square, there are many vendors, many of whom are warriors selling various products related to the practice of martial arts.
The central area of Shenshi Square.
In front of the huge meteorite are sixteen independent fighting arenas. Each fighting arena is one hundred square meters in size and is paved with solid blue iron stone. The hardness is extremely high, even warriors in the Qi Condensation realm cannot easily break it.
Surrounded by sixteen fighting arenas, there are five towering stone buildings.
One of the stone buildings is fifty meters high, and the remaining four stone buildings are forty meters high. The five buildings are hundreds of meters apart. On the top of each building, people from various major families were sitting, and they could overlook the entire square from high places.
On one of the forty-meter-high stone buildings, Chen Fan accompanied Chen Jian, taking advantage of the height of the building to stop and observe, watching the participating warriors coming and going.
This stone building belongs to the Chen family, and there are four other stone buildings, each belonging to the Nangong family, Lin family, Zuo family, and Yan family.
As for the stone towers of the Lin family, the Zuo family, and the Yan family, they are the same as the Chen family's stone towers, which are forty meters high. The only exception is the Nangong family's stone building. Their stone building is fifty meters high, which is obviously better than the other four.
Just judging from the height of the stone building, it can be seen that the Nangong family occupies a strong position in the business alliance.
Today is the opening day of the martial arts tournament.
The main members of the Chen family, including Chen Jian, Chen Tie, and Chen Yang, all stopped on the stone tower.
Brothers Han Feng and Han Zhong are also in the center of the stone building. In addition, there were some faces that were unfamiliar to Chen Fan. Through Han Zhong's introduction, Chen Fan learned that they were worshipers of the Chen family. They usually performed tasks in other cities and were only transferred back here because of the martial arts competition.
However, Yang Hai was not in the stone building. Since Yang Hai did not practice martial arts, martial arts masters from other cities were recalled, and Yang Hai had to go to those cities to stay in place to prevent problems during the martial arts competition.
Every year's martial arts competition is divided into five levels of competition: Qi induction, Qi gathering, Qi condensation, agility, and spiritual fantasy. However, the spiritual fantasy level competition is often more formal than substantive.
Under normal circumstances, even warriors who practice alone must already have their own unique training methods if they can reach the spiritual realm, and they will not be greedy for the rewards provided by the five major families.
Whether in the Merchant Alliance, the Huorong Empire, or the Divine Grace Empire, warriors who have reached the realm of spiritual fantasy are all high-level beings.
This kind of warriors do not need to participate in martial arts competitions at all. If they want to obtain a good training environment, they can go to any major force and serve as senior ministers.
If the major forces learn that warriors in the spiritual realm have not yet belonged to any party, they will also take the initiative to extend a friendly hand to such warriors, hoping to recruit them under their command.
For this reason, although the martial arts association has spiritual fantasy realm competitions, there are very few spiritual fantasy realm warriors who can actually participate in the competition.
Even warriors who have reached the spiritual realm rarely participate in competitions. In every martial arts competition, there are only a few spiritual warriors who can participate in the report.
Most of those who are willing to come for the martial arts meeting have their cultivation levels concentrated in the three realms of entraining Qi, gathering Qi, and condensing Qi.
The number of warriors from these three realms is the largest. They generally have low strength and often do not have their own cultivation path. They have to participate in martial arts competitions, or seek to obtain cultivation treasures, or want to find a good worship position in the five major families.
The fighting usually ends within five days.
In the first four days, the competition was dominated by those warriors who came for rewards and positions. The victory or defeat of these people will be watched by the five major families. After four days of fighting, the five major families will select their favorite warriors and then release friendly invitations to them.
And the last day is the grand finale of the martial arts competition.
On this day, the martial arts meeting becomes the exclusive stage for the five major families!
It is on this day that the five major families will send their worshipers and core members to fight against the strong men of other families. At the same time, the five major families will use the last day of the conference to test the strength of the other family.
This day is also the moment when the five major families are powerful and show off their strength!
In this day and age, the competition between the five major families is often closely related to huge interest entanglements, and may also lead to extremely intense gambling.
Mineral deposits, trade routes, mysterious treasures, and rare martial arts, these may all become gambling chips for the five major families!
A martial arts tournament may even make a certain family become richer than the rest of the country, or it may even bring the family into decline. The result of the last day's game may become a topic that will be talked about for years to come.
On this day, the strong men from all the major families will try their best to show off their rare martial arts and martial arts spirits. It is also possible that some little-known secret treasures will suddenly appear in the fierce competition.
Most of the warriors from other places actually came for the martial arts competition on the last day.
By watching the last day's competition, they can understand the gap between themselves and the civil and martial artists of the five major families. By watching fierce martial arts battles, they can also understand their own shortcomings, thereby improving their realm and vision.
Even after the martial arts meeting, you may be inspired to achieve a breakthrough in your realm.
And this is undoubtedly the most charming part of the martial arts club.
Chen Fan stood quietly on the stone tower, taking advantage of his position to overlook the efforts of the participating warriors.
Two hundred meters away, on the stone tower of Nangong's house, two beautiful figures walked into the tall building with Nangong Ce.
On the high-rise building, Mu Ge and Yalan stood side by side. Together with Nangong Ce, they stood on the highest floor, overlooking all the competition venues.
Mu Ge was wearing a white dress with fluttering black hair. On the highest floor, she is like a fairy on earth, which is amazing.
Yalan was still wearing the dark red armor. Her figure was hot, tightly wrapped by the armor, and her curves were extremely attractive. But her eyes showed deep worry.
Chen Fan raised his head slightly and looked at the two women, with a sneer in his heart, showing disdain.
"You brat, you should observe and study carefully these days. You still lack practical experience. You should learn from their combat experience and don't be idle." Seeing his eyes falling on the two girls from the Nangong family, Chen Jian revealed He looked displeased and snorted: "Girls can be found everywhere. With your ability, you can get any beauty in the future, but before you become stronger, you must not distract your attention."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Fan nodded.
"Boss, Ku Guming from Zhenbao Pavilion wants to see you and wants to see you for something." Chen Tie's voice suddenly came from the stairs of the stone building.
"Ku Guming?" Chen Jian's face showed a hint of surprise. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please come up."
"Grandpa, how are things going at Zhenbao Pavilion?" Chen Fan asked in a low voice, starting a new topic.
Chen Jian nodded gently and whispered: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't mention it again in the future. Do you understand?"
"Oh." From his expression, Chen Fan could see that he and Zuo Xu must have reached some kind of consensus, but in front of so many people, Chen Fan didn't know whether the Chen family had sent someone to Zhenbao Pavilion.
Ku Guming came up with a smile, stood next to Chen Jian calmly, and said, "Master Chen, I'm here to ask for help this time. I don't know where your godson Yang Hai is now. I want him to go to Zhenbao Pavilion for a visit." Is it convenient to go there?"
"Yang Hai?" Chen Jian's face darkened and he snorted coldly. He asked, "What are your plans for Zhenbao Pavilion to find Yang Hai?"
"I have a friend who came from afar. Her relative lost a baby named Yang Hai when she was young, so she wanted to ask me to help look for it. I hope the head of the Chen family can help." Ku Guming said with a smile, and He saluted Chen Jian.
Chen Jian's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said: "Yang Hai is not in Tianyun City now. Because we held a martial arts meeting and mobilized some people back and forth, he is now stationed in other cities. As for this matter... we will wait. Let’s talk about it later.”
"That's it, as long as the head of the Chen family remembers it." Ku Guming had no intention of forcing it. He said with a smile: "When Yang Hai comes back, the head of the Chen family can ask him to go to the Zhenbao Pavilion. Haha, I won't let him go to waste. Strong."
"Okay." Chen Jian nodded, without clearly expressing his approval or objection.
"Then I'll go down first." Ku Guming didn't stay any longer. After the matter was settled, he went downstairs and left.
…
The charming sound of the piano came from the stone building of Nangong's house and hit you.
This poetic and picturesque note instantly filled every corner of the bustling Shenshi Square. Everyone saw Mu Ge kneeling on the stone floor of Nangong's house, concentrating on playing the piano.
Many warriors who came to participate in the martial arts meeting were attracted by the ethereal music and stared at the stone building of the Nangong family with intoxicated expressions on their faces.
Next to Mu Ge, Nangong Ce was even more proud and proud, with contempt for the crowd hanging on his lips, causing many envious and jealous eyes to look at him at the same time.
The music of Mu Ge is like mountains and rivers, flowing through the hearts of every warrior, as if cleansing their souls.
When the song ended, the warriors woke up as if from a dream, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.
at this time.
Nangong Shang suddenly flew out from the tall building. His body was suspended in the sky above the Shenshi Square, as if a god was condescending, announcing loudly: "The martial arts meeting has officially begun!"
"Ling Kongdu! The strong man who merges the sky!"
Many warriors immediately exclaimed, with expressions of reverence on their faces, and were deeply shocked by the strength displayed by Nangong Shang.
