Chapter 270 Fight Again
"boom!"
Liu Jun looked up at the pitiful little wooden door that was teetering on the verge of collapse because it had been opened too forcefully, and at the culprit standing outside the door.
Before I could even see the face clearly, an extremely arrogant voice rang out.
"Hahahaha, I'm back!!!"
His voice was clearly clear and pleasant, but the way he spoke was like this, a complete waste of his good voice, and it also greatly diminished the charm of his handsome young face.
Liu Jun calmly placed a piece in his hand and gestured to Geng Wuji opposite him that it was his turn to play.
Geng Wuji was somewhat surprised: "My lord, has he always been like this?"
"You do not know?"
"I've just never actually seen him like this before."
The person still standing at the door immediately became unhappy: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you ignoring me? I'm back!"
Liu Jun turned her head and glanced at him again, her expression still calm: "Oh, otherwise who do you think saved you?"
He strode over, clearly annoyed: "Hey, isn't it something to be happy about that I'm back? If it weren't for him!"
He raised his hand and pointed at Geng Wuji to the side, glaring fiercely at him. However, Geng Wuji only glanced at him indifferently, and the latter immediately lost his composure and his momentum weakened.
"If it weren't for you, my little brother, I would have already succeeded in my transformation!"
"Aren't you even better off now? You have the body of a dragon and can even transform into human form. Don't be so ungrateful after getting the benefits."
"Hmph! He's still dead..."
"What time is it? How long have I been dead?"
Liu Jun looked at Geng Wuji: "Then you'll have to ask him. I... I've been dead for quite a while."
"You're going to die? You're perfectly fine, aren't you?"
Liu Jun smiled slightly, said nothing, and picked up the tea beside him to take a sip.
On the other side, Geng Wuji lowered his head and replied in a deep voice, "Exactly 37,400 years."
"Holy crap, it took so long!!!"
"Then I must have become an immortal by now, otherwise why would I still be alive after all this time?"
Liu Jun added quietly, "With the body of a dragon, wouldn't that be considered becoming an immortal?"
"Where is this? Where have you all gone? Are you still on the Yuanzhou Continent?"
"In the words of those people below, it's the Immortal Realm."
"I go!!!"
The boy was so shocked that he couldn't come to his senses for a long time, staring blankly at Liu Jun like a wooden statue.
Liu Jun, unfazed, took another sip of tea before waving his hand in front of him.
Are you that surprised?
"Now that you can take human form, it's not appropriate to call you by your old name anymore. We need to give you a name."
The boy was still somewhat dazed: "You make the decision."
But Liu Jun was terrible at naming things and couldn't think of any fancy or impressive names.
"Wuji, what about you?"
“Since he was rescued by you, sir, he should be taken by you.”
Liu Jun was at a loss for words: "Since it is a dragon, and the day of its transformation coincided with several days of rain... then let it be called Ao Zhuo."
"Ao, a surname of the dragon, and the rain falling into turbidity, is that acceptable?"
"Ao Zhuo, that's a nice-sounding name. Alright, from now on, my name will be Ao Zhuo!"
Ao Zhuo's return brought a touch of life to the quiet courtyard in the mountains.
But he was always impatient, and now that he was no longer bound by the contract, he often liked to run away, sometimes not being seen for a year or two. But he would eventually return to his home in Chenxing Mountain, so we just let him be.
Year after year, little has changed in the mountains, and the courtyard is constantly being repaired, so it doesn't look old.
Sunrise and sunset, flowers blooming and withering—the days of cultivation are mostly like this, one after another. Whenever I reach a bottleneck, I emerge from seclusion to rest for a while, and then go elsewhere to collect materials that can aid my cultivation.
The Immortal Realm has not been established for very long; a hundred or a thousand years is but a fleeting moment for these people.
Not long after the Divine Realm was permanently sealed, the Divine Venerable Sifeng created the Immortal Realm and opened up the Divine Realm, with the Five Saints and Three Venerables as its pillars. It has only been a few hundred thousand years since then.
It is still very young, and many rules are only in their initial stages. This world will exist for countless years to come, but in the current era, there are still too many enemies and threats.
The Immortal Cleansing Assembly is held once every thousand years, and its duration is already the shortest possible. Everything needs to be controlled in order to ensure that limited resources are allocated reasonably.
The celestial realm still needs a large number of talents, and ascension is the integration of talents from all realms. The Immortal Cleansing Assembly is a further refinement of these talents.
The people living on the ninety-ninth heaven are not simply those who receive more cultivation resources; what they need to contribute to the immortal realm is much more—it is the wisdom of a species' development.
And this time, looking up at the radiant celestial palaces above the clouds...
With the decline of the divine realm, everyone hopes she can return. Regardless of the reason, born in such an era, no one can escape the predetermined fate of the primordial chaos.
Since that's the case, then this time, just as they wished, she will step by step reach the highest point.
……
"The 182nd Zhuoxian Tournament officially opens today. Fellow immortals, please enter the venue and wait in time. The first round of the competition will begin soon!"
It still consists of three preliminary rounds and one final round.
Liu Jun passed the first two rounds of the competition smoothly, while the third round was a series of duels between the two of them.
This time she wasn't as lucky as last time. After winning the first match, she immediately drew the first match of the next round, with only an hour or two between them. It was because she was the last one to go on stage in the first round.
I used to laugh at others, but now that it's my turn, I don't feel good about it.
In such a short time, he could only catch his breath. The injuries he sustained in the last round had only recovered to about 30-40% before he had to go back up to compete again, and this time he was going to fight a True Immortal at the ninth level.
Liu Jun's current cultivation level is only at the fifth level of True Immortal, nearly half a level below him. It's truly one misfortune after another.
"True Immortal Level 5? What a pity, fellow immortal, perhaps you should come again at the next Cleansing Immortal Conference."
"next time?"
Liu Jun squinted and tilted his head slightly: "But I think I can make it into the top ten this time."
"Pshaw, top ten? Let's not even talk about me. Even if you were lucky enough to win this match, you'd still have to fight one or two more matches afterward. In your current condition, you'd probably be crippled before you even make it into the top ten."
"No need for you to worry about that, fellow immortal."
Liu Jun summoned his immortal sword, already in a ready-to-attack stance, while the person opposite him showed no sign of being perfunctory and began to defend seriously.
Compared to a true immortal, his magical aura was endless, and his movement was incredibly fast.
"Look, look! I didn't expect the first two matches today to be so exciting!"
"This movement technique... it must have reached the True Immortal realm!"
"Not only that, look over there, it's almost too fast to see clearly, could it be a Taiyi Realm expert?"
"Indeed, this year's conference is really something to see."
The number of people in the stands gradually increased, and no one expected that the first match of the third round would be so exciting.
Watching high-level cultivators compete is also a form of learning, so naturally most people wouldn't miss it.
Those involved suffered greatly, especially Liu Jun, who was at a disadvantage at the moment. After a fierce battle, her injuries were compounded, but she still did not want to use any pills that would force her to improve her strength in this battle.
"Give up. You're already at your last gasp."
The person opposite her wasn't much better off, but he only had superficial injuries that didn't affect anything serious.
Liu Jun raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked around at the spectator seats outside the arena.
Good, no one who shouldn't have come has shown up, so...
Liu Jun chuckled lightly, put away his immortal sword, and began to form hand seals.
What are you still struggling with?
Liu Jun looked up at the person opposite him and said calmly, "Sorry, I have to win this match."
"Nine Netherworlds, Soul Tempering Nail!"
With the fire-ignited nails, hundreds of long nails flew towards the person opposite. The person was terrified and hurriedly chanted incantations to defend, but was still forced back several meters away.
The long nail pierced straight through his defenses in an instant, passing right through his body. He immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt down in a sorry state.
The man exclaimed in disbelief, "You! You... you actually have another trump card?"
Liu Jun withdrew his attack: "Since we've all ascended to this world, the more methods we have, the better. Don't you even understand this basic principle, fellow immortal?"
After resting for a while, the man finally had the strength to stand up: "It's me, I'm not as skilled as you."
After saying that, he covered his wound with one hand, turned around, and left the scene dejectedly.
He's someone who can afford to lose.
This move, which uses the Glazed Fire to temper the Soul Nail, was originally an old technique. However, using it now with her True Immortal body, the backlash against her was considerable. Fortunately, the next round of the competition is in two days.
Many contestants were eliminated in this competition, but if they compete in just one more round, they can make it into the top ten.
