The main hall on the highest level of the palace, the Emperor in black robes immediately said: "Qǐ Wáng."
"Your Majesty." Qi Wang immediately responded.
"Go and read out the rules for this Immortal Fate Conference." The Emperor in Black commanded.
"Yes."
The King of Qi immediately flew out of the main hall, standing on the clouds and fog, overlooking the lower voice echoing in the void: "This time, the Xianyuan Conference has a total of 1,093,362 participants!"
The sound is loud and clear, echoing between heaven and earth.
On the lower square of over 9,000 li, the Wanxiang Zhenru from all over the Daxia Dynasty and even other great worlds listened carefully one by one.
"Over 190,000?" Ji Ning's eyebrows twitched. Although she could scan the surroundings with a sweep of her divine sense, within the imperial city, knowing that the Emperor of Dashu was above... there wasn't anyone who dared to recklessly release their divine sense to probe around.
The voice above continued to say: "Each of you over a million people will receive a token, and you will all enter the emperor's treasure 'Mingyue Mountain Water Chart'! Mingyue Mountain Water Chart... contains the universe, forming its own world. You can kill each other at will in Mingyue Mountain Water Chart, take away others' tokens. If you feel that your strength is not enough, you can also abandon your token, and you will be quickly transferred out of Mingyue Mountain Water Chart. Although this counts as losing, at least you will keep your life."
"Choosing to give up..."
"Killed..."
"You eighty will be the only ones to obtain the Symbol of Faith. You need to spend the longest year in the Moonlit Mountain and Water Painting, and when a year is fulfilled, the one who obtains the most Symbols of Faith among you eighty will be considered to have passed the test of the Moonlit Mountain and Water Painting. If within a year, for example, only three months have passed, and you have killed each other until only eighty are left, then the test of the Moonlit Mountain and Water Painting will end in advance. The surviving eighty will be considered to have passed the test."
"If it's a year of fulfillment, eighty enter the degree, and there are still other living true entrances in the bright moon mountain water chart. They will be gathered together for the final showdown... The showdown continues until only sixteen entrances remain, and they also get the last sixteen chances."
"The Bright Moon and Clear Water Painting Exam requires at least 80 points to pass, with a maximum score of 96."
"Remember, in the Bright Moon Mountain and River Map, you are forbidden from using any Dao symbols, and forbidden from using any puppet or magical objects! This test is to examine your own strength, every move you make in the Bright Moon Mountain and River Map will be under my observation, as well as that of many young immortals. Do not act rashly, those who disobey will be killed without pardon!"
Kill without pardon!
The last three words made more than 100,000 people below tremble with fear in their hearts.
"Eighty at least? Ninety-six at most?" Ji Ning, Yu Wei, and Zuo Tian all exchanged glances with each other, each of them sensing the bloody slaughter that was about to come.
Too crazy.
It should be known that among these over a million, almost every one of them is an outstanding genius, at the very least a Fire Saint of the first level! Over a million extraordinary geniuses, many of whom may have hopes of becoming Immortal Sages. However, due to the 'Fate Assembly', they must engage in bloody battles, although it's said that one can give up, but during the life-and-death moments of battle, I estimate that many will still die.
"At most, ninety-six people enter, and a total of three thousand six hundred counties are born from the four great oceans. On average, dozens of counties can give birth to one person." Zou Xi sighed, "It's really crazy."
"We three don't know who can pass this test." Yu Wei's expression also became much more serious.
Ji Ning also felt the pressure.
In the past, the Immortal Fate Conference was not so bloody. In the past, there were generally 20,000 to 30,000 participants who would go through several rounds of selection, selecting the top 100, then the top 50, and gradually narrowing it down to the top 10 and top 3.
This time, more than 100,000 entries were directly filtered through the "Mingyueshanshui Map" to produce at least 80 to a maximum of 96 entries.
The young master of the mansion.
Qigong walked back and respectfully saluted: "I have reported to Your Majesty, it has been read aloud."
"Hmm." The Emperor in Black nodded slightly, his gaze had already pierced through the grand hall and the obstructing clouds, falling onto the over one million young cultivators on the square. He wanted to observe... observe who would be the true strong ones rising up amidst the turmoil of the Three Realms in the future.
"Those with great virtues and merits have had over a hundred golden lights." The Emperor in black robes thought silently, "Those with high virtues naturally have high luck. However, even those with low virtues may also have very high luck, or perhaps surprisingly high luck."
Good fortune and good deeds are two different things.
Great virtue and merit naturally bring auspicious energy and support.
It's like being accepted as a disciple by a powerful figure in the Three Realms, and also having the blessing of good fortune.
For example, if one's parents are Mahasattvas of the Three Realms, they also receive blessings from their qi and destiny.
Due to a big coincidence, also with good luck.
The merits and demerits can be seen at a glance, but the aura... is even more elusive and difficult to determine.
"Hua." The Emperor in Black suddenly had a scroll appear in his hand, the scroll unfolded directly, and faintly visible on the scroll was a bright moon as well as mountains and water.
The crowd of young fairies standing below all lit up their eyes at once.
The Bright Moon and Water Picture... is a pure Yang treasure, which has an extremely great attraction to these young fairies. However, these young fairies are also constantly thinking about it. The Great Emperor of Daxia didn't say anything to them, but directly proceeded with the selection of the 'Fairy Fate Conference'. They can feel the importance that the Great Emperor of Daxia attaches to this Fairy Fate Conference. Just by taking out the Bright Moon and Water Picture as a test ground, it is evident.
Rumble...
Ji Ning and others looked up one by one, the 3,600 counties and four seas' troops also looked up.
A gigantic painting appeared in the sky, with a vast expanse of thousands of miles, as if it had covered up the entire sky, and even faintly visible was the world within the painting.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Yu Ning, Yu Wei, Zhen Ru and others, 19,362 in total, rose up from the ground, each one uncontrollably surging forth, all of them being absorbed, and on that vast, boundless canvas, ripples began to emerge. Every single one of them touched the canvas, creating a ripple, as if raindrops falling onto the surface of a lake.
In the blink of an eye.
Over 100,000 people have all disappeared without a trace.
The master of the palace, the emperor in black, finally revealed a smile and said calmly: "This time, the test of the Mingyue Mountain Water Painting will last for about a year. You can all take your time to appreciate it, let's have a feast."
Suddenly, a large number of maids rushed up.
The dishes were arranged, the immortal wine was served, and the immortal fruit was presented.
Each of the old ancestors sat cross-legged, and the followers and servants brought by these old ancestors were sitting cross-legged behind the white robes of the old ancestors.
"The picture of the bright moon and the mountain water is all, you can watch it." The black-robed Emperor pointed to the outside of the grand hall, where a huge scroll was floating in the clouds. Inside the scroll, there were mountains, waters, a bright moon, and over 100,000 scattered Wanxiang True Inhabitants.
"Dong Yan, why do you think His Majesty attaches so much importance to the Xian Yuan Conference?" Next to Dong Yan's old ancestor sat a bald-headed old man. "He personally presides over it and even issues orders. Even with so many young immortals coming, he still focuses on that Xian Yuan Conference. Is this conference special? Is there some kind of powerful reincarnated object? I remember Yin Cao's underworld being suddenly attacked decades ago, causing the Six Paths Wheel to collapse... could it be related to that?"
"How do I know? However, the collapse of the Six Paths Reincarnation is a big deal. There are secrets hidden behind it that are shocking. We should just stay in our own world and not run around recklessly. Otherwise, who knows when we'll fall. Moreover, even though the Six Paths Reincarnation has collapsed, the Ancestor will rebuild it in dozens of worlds like ours. With the Ancestor's protection, there's no need to panic." The Eastern Immortal Ancestor transmitted his voice.
The old man with a bald head also nodded.
When Dongyan Old Ancestor and Liangjiang Old Ancestor were worried about the great turmoil in the future, Jiulian behind Dongyan Old Ancestor was staring at the Wanli Painting Scroll.
The ten-mile-long painting is really magnificent, and you can see a shadow entering inside.
"Where is Ji Ning?" Jiu Lian couldn't help but ask while searching.
"Where is Ji Ning?" Wei Chi Xi Yue sat cross-legged behind Yan Wang, also staring intently at the huge painting scroll. "Younger brother, you must be careful, you must be careful."
"What's the main dish?"
In the square below, the Anzhen County team was arrayed, and beside Mu Zishuo stood a snow-white large dog and a green-clad girl. Ji Ning was going to fight, and spirit beasts were also prohibited from entering, so Bai Shu and Xiao Qing temporarily followed Mu Zishuo to watch the battle.
"Don't worry, Shixiong has the talent to reverse his fate. Back then in Wujian Xianfu, he faced such a desperate situation and was still able to kill Shaoyan Nong and that demon god. He absolutely won't give up or die easily." Mu Zishuo's eyes shone brightly as he looked upwards, where a gigantic illusory shadow of a world appeared in the high sky.
This world is an illusion, it's just a scene inside the painting of Bright Moon and Clear Water.
Completely able to see clearly the mountains, rivers, trees and even each shadow entering.
Bai Shuizhe, Xiao Qing, and Mu Zishuo each cast their eyes over the vast painting, sweeping across the shadows of that world.
"Look." Bai Shu suddenly spoke up, staring at a spot.
Muzi Shuo and Xiao Qing followed Bai Shu's gaze and immediately looked over, and indeed, in a corner of that world, in a mountain valley, there was a youth with beast skin.
"Big Brother Shi." Mu Zishuo's eyes lit up.
"Master is entering." Little Qing looked excitedly.
The Five Crazy Immortals on the side also discovered it quickly, their eyes full of expectation.
At this moment, the 3,600 teams from various regions of the four oceans on the square all looked up, each trying to find their own entrance. They soon found them and were filled with expectation, hoping that one of their entrances would be among the last 96 surviving ones.
A world of bright moon and clear water in a painting.
Ji Ning only felt that after touching the huge painting scroll, the scene in front of him changed, and he appeared in a mountain valley.
"Mountain valley?" Ji Ning's hands instantly produced two Northern Frost Swords, carefully watching the surroundings with caution, and even refrained from using his divine sense. After all, nearly half of those who participated in the Immortal Fate Conference already possessed a divine sense.
"Whoosh." Suddenly a green light flashed before his eyes, and a cyan-green jade token appeared in front of him.
"Each of you has a jade token. If you don't want to fight, just throw away the token and I will expel you from the Bright Moon Mountain River Map." The voice of the Great Xia Emperor echoed in the minds of over 100,000 entrants.
Ji Ning immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed the token.
