The Nine Clan Competition is a competition between nine cultivation families. There is a competition every five hundred years. However, those who can participate in the competition are all under five hundred years old, and must have reached at least the early Mahayana stage or above.
For monks, being under five hundred years old is actually considered very young. However, not everyone can achieve the Mahayana stage within five hundred years of age.
Generally speaking, for ordinary monks, when they are five hundred years old, they are almost in the distraction period. Those who are more talented and enter the integration stage at the age of five hundred are already considered to be very powerful people, at least they can be called geniuses.
To be able to truly enter the Mahayana stage at this age is definitely a genius. After all, too many people have spent a lifetime of hard work and practiced for almost thousands of years before reaching the Mahayana stage.
Therefore, most of those who enter the Mahayana period are old people.
However, this time the Nine Clans Competition will compete with the younger generation of geniuses from the Nine Great Families. Let’s see which family has the most extraordinary talents and the strongest strength.
If any family does not have even one person participating in the competition, it would be really embarrassing, and it also means that the family is declining.
Judging from the past situation, within five hundred years, there will always be several unique geniuses. Just like their Chen family, there were a total of six people participating in the competition.
But this time, the Chen family obviously began to decline a lot. As of now, his two sons are definitely able to compete.
The remaining hope falls on the great elder's son Chen Qiuhan. If Chen Qiuhan breaks through to the early stage of Mahayana with the help of their ancestors this time, he will also have a chance to participate.
However, for now, the Chen family can only produce these three people. This situation made Chen Tianxing very helpless.
But what can be done? It is not that the Chen family does not have Mahayana disciples, but it is quite difficult for the younger generation to reach the Mahayana stage at the age of five hundred.
Those in the Chen family who are in the Mahayana stage have already passed this time.
Therefore, the only ones left who are not yet five hundred years old are his two sons and Chen Qiuhan.
In five hundred years, the younger generation of geniuses has lost three people, which is equivalent to half the number. This situation makes Chen Tianxing, the head of the family, very anxious.
If not for this, he would not have been so eager to marry off the Chen family's daughter. He just hopes to exchange some resources from several other aristocratic families, such as asking them to help open the door to the underworld and let the Chen family have some young peerless geniuses.
Unfortunately, things backfired, and the sudden appearance of Cheng Yu and his senior brother Xin Luo obviously interrupted his original plan.
However, he didn't think the appearance of Cheng Yu and the others was a bad thing. On the contrary, Cheng Yu's appearance gave him hope for the Chen family again.
If Cheng Yu can be allowed to stay in the Chen family to help the Chen family rise, then in the next five hundred years, the Chen family will definitely be able to have more peerless geniuses, even more than before.
"Well, this nine-tribe competition is very important to our Chen family. Moreover, our Chen family is declining day by day. I am afraid that there are only three of you who can participate in the competition this time. Therefore, the Chen family's hope has also fallen. It’s up to you three, you must work hard!” Chen Tianxing said.
"Dad, I will definitely work hard, and I must get the top three rankings and help our Chen family regain the qualifications for the Death Realm!" Chen Hongyuan clenched his fists tightly and said solemnly.
"Your confidence is good, but the most important thing is to protect yourself. As long as Cheng Yu arranges a training formation for our Chen family, I believe our Chen family will not be so bad in the next five hundred years." Chen Tianxing He said to his youngest son.
Although he saw that his son had a strong will to fight, it was basically impossible to regain the resources of the Dead Realm.
This is because other aristocratic families will definitely not have fewer geniuses than them. Looking at the past nine clan competitions, there has almost never been a family with only three people participating in the competition.
But this time there are only three members of the Chen family, which means that the Chen family will definitely be laughed at by others this time.
Therefore, he felt that although the number of people in this competition was small, it would be fine as long as they were not at the bottom. As for getting back the qualifications for the Death Realm, that was something he had never thought about.
The Dead Realm is a mysterious and terrifying place. But there are too many temptations inside, especially for the Chen family. I heard that there are many powerful ghosts in the Dead Realm, and there are also many powerful treasures.
If the Chen family can collect these ghosts after entering the dead realm, it will be really helpful to the rise of the Chen family.
However, because it takes five hundred years to open the Dead Realm, and the number of people entering the Dead Realm is limited, there are only sixty people at most. But people from the nine great families all want to go in. If all the people from the nine great families go in, then only less than seven people from one family can get in.
In this case, it would be quite dangerous for any family.
Therefore, the nine great families decided on a plan to hold a competition every five hundred years. Through the competition between the nine aristocratic families, let’s take a look at the strength of several aristocratic families in the past five hundred years.
In addition, the qualifications of the families who enter the Death Realm are determined. Only the top three families in the competition are eligible to enter the Death Realm, and each family can send twenty people to enter the Death Realm.
A family sends twenty people, which is a relatively safe number.
If two of the top three are from the same family, then that family can send forty people, and the advantage is even greater. Of course, if the top three are all from the same family, it will really make a lot of money. The qualifications for this dead realm will be in their hands, and they can send 60 people into the dead realm.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, there have been families where forty people have entered at the same time, but there has never been a family where sixty people have entered at the same time.
Because for this competition, in fact, the early stage of Mahayana is at the bottom, the strongest is only the late stage of Mahayana, and the level of the middle stage of Mahayana can be said to be neither higher nor lower.
It is easy to defeat the early stage of Mahayana, but it becomes very difficult to reach the later stage of Mahayana.
Moreover, judging from the situation of several aristocratic families in the past, the probability of them having masters in the late Mahayana period is not low.
Therefore, it can be said that it is very difficult for Chen Hongyuan to enter the top three. The Chen family once had the qualifications to enter the Death Realm.
But now, it seems that it has been thousands of years since the Chen family last entered the Death Realm. This is very detrimental to the Chen family.
The less they can enter the Death Realm, the more they will suffer in front of other aristocratic families. They have not seen each other for so many years, and they are also very helpless about how many resources other aristocratic families have received that they could not imagine.
