Chapter 268 Zhuo Xian Conference
There are no restrictions on the number of people who volunteer; they can go whenever they want.
All you need to do is leave your name at the Jingxian Hall; as for when you can come back, that's up to you.
If you haven't seen someone for a long time, cross their name off the notebook. When you die, or when your cultivation level improves, you won't need to remember their name anymore.
"Zhuo Xian Conference?"
"Yes, I heard that it was created by the three immortals of the ninety-ninth heaven. If you are strong enough, you can participate in this competition. The top ten can choose a celestial palace in the ninety-ninth heaven to stay and cultivate."
"The Ninety-Nine Heavens is indeed a good place, but I am only at the ninth level of Earth Immortal. In the Upper Realm, there are many True Immortals, not to mention a whole host of Golden Immortals..."
Chenxing Mountain is too small after all, and the spiritual vein beneath it has been almost completely used up by Liu Jun. It's time to find another place to go.
Liu Jun rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "But it's worth a try. Let's see how strong these True Immortals and Golden Immortals really are, so I can make some preparations."
"grown ups……"
Geng Wuji was somewhat worried, unsure whether this matter was a good thing or a bad thing.
Liu Jun smiled reassuringly: "It's nothing, just some injuries, you won't die."
"But..." It still hurts.
He didn't want the adults to get hurt, but he also knew that once an adult made a decision, he couldn't stop her, nor did he have the right to.
"It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. Perfect, let's test my ninth-level strength."
"Wuji, take good care of the house. I will be back on the day of the Immortal Cleansing Gathering."
Geng Wuji gazed at her face, still so vibrant, indifference now only occasionally arose.
He once grieved for her.
If he could, at this moment, what he would wish for is that she would always remain as she is now, simply a mortal spirit with joys and sorrows.
She should be high and mighty, but he never liked her compassionate indifference.
"it is good."
This response was the first of its kind in a century.
The Immortal Cleansing Assembly is held once every thousand years, a grand gathering of immortals, and is naturally exceptionally lively. People who were rarely seen in the past are all seen during this grand event that lasts for several months.
Liu Jun hadn't seen so many people in a long time, except for those on the battlefield, of course.
On the battlefield, it's all about life and death; who cares about the number of people? It's been a long time since we've seen such a peaceful and orderly scene.
The Immortal Cleansing Assembly was held in the Ninety-Nine Heavens, and Liu Jun took the opportunity to see part of the situation in the Ninety-Nine Heavens.
It is indeed filled with ethereal beauty, and the scenery is much better than other places.
The tournament was held in a place resembling a gladiatorial arena on the west side of the Ninety-Nine Heavens, with several rings of spectator seats surrounding the huge circular arena.
At a higher point in the center of the arena was a twin-headed floating spire that appeared to be composed of two cones.
On the west side of the arena, a towering Brahma statue, its bottom unfathomable, stares down at the arena as if under divine scrutiny.
The names were submitted the day before, and today is the first day of the Zhuoxian competition, which is also the preliminary round. There are many people here to compete and watch.
The rules of the competition are simple: in one match, one out of five people will be chosen as the winner.
The second round is a three-person elimination round, the third round is a two-person elimination round, and the final ten people will take turns to compete, which is 1 vs. 9. Whoever wins more times will be ranked higher. If two people are tied, they will compete again, and whoever wins will be ranked higher.
The rules aren't fair or just, but this is the Celestial Realm, where fairness isn't necessary.
If you want to enter the Ninety-Nine Heavens for cultivation and compete for a corner of the Immortal Palace territory, then strive to defeat everyone around you.
There were so many participants that even though the arena was divided into six sessions to be held simultaneously, the preliminary rounds took nearly ten days to complete. After that, there was a three-day rest period before the second round of competitions.
Fortunately, the preliminary rounds that Liu Jun was assigned to were all at the Earth Immortal level. The other three were not to be feared, but one of them had reached the tenth level of Earth Immortal.
Within the same realm, the difference wasn't too great, but in order to avoid attracting too much attention, after that person dealt with the others, he endured two more blows from that person before he "barely" won by a narrow margin and successfully passed the preliminary round.
Liu Jun didn't care much about who won or lost in the end. The three-day rest period passed in the blink of an eye. The three people he was assigned to this time were both True Immortals.
One is a True Immortal at the second level, and the other is a True Immortal at the fifth level. What bad luck.
Is there such a big difference between the preliminary round and the second round? How come everyone here is a true immortal, and at such a high level?
"Tsk, a mere Earth Immortal has made it to the second round of the competition. This Immortal Cleansing Tournament isn't all that great, is it?"
The second-tier True Immortal is too arrogant, so it's easier to deal with him. But the fifth-tier True Immortal is more difficult to handle, as he remains calm and unassuming.
Liu Jun suddenly smiled and said, "Fellow Immortal, you think it's easy for you to take me down? What about him?"
"You want to join forces with me?"
He wasn't too stupid; he understood what she meant in just one sentence.
"If you team up with me, you'll still have a 20% chance of winning. We'll settle things then. But if you take me down first, it'll take some effort, and you won't have a chance at all then. How about that?"
"Hmph! You would have such good intentions?"
“I am the weakest of the three of us. Whether you or I face him, we are bound to lose. Although I can’t touch you, you know that a ninth-level Earth Immortal versus a second-level True Immortal, I can still wear you down.”
"You do have some brains."
Those who can ascend are not fools; they know what is important and what is not.
And that fifth-level True Immortal was also a god-like being. Did he just let them conspire in front of him without stopping them? Or did he also think that they were just ants struggling together?
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
The person agreed without much thought, or perhaps they had no better option than to agree.
The man finally moved: "Have you thought it through? Cooperate against me?"
The tall, thin man clearly stood at Liu Jun's side, and the two exchanged a knowing glance before rushing forward together, but they didn't have time to see the fleeting smile in Liu Jun's eyes, who was half a step behind.
The magical light exploded from the field in an instant, followed by sparks and clashing sounds from the colliding magical artifacts.
Each of the six courts was truly spectacular, and the spectators in the stands were almost overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to see.
Ultimately, the difference in their skill levels was too great, and Liu Jun gradually found himself struggling, leaving only the tall, thin man still exchanging blows with that person.
The man seemed quite relaxed, not taking the tall, thin man seriously at all, so Liu Jun simply started treating his injuries on the side.
"puff!"
"Where are you?! Get up here already!"
But Liu Jun remained motionless in his healing hand seals: "Fellow immortal, please hold them off for now, I'll be fine soon."
"You still have the nerve to heal your wounds?! I can't take it anymore!"
"Oh dear, fellow immortal, just hang in there a little longer, I'll be alright, I'll be alright soon."
"You! Pfft!!!"
The tall, thin man coughed up another mouthful of blood, his strength exhausted, and was thrown several meters away. After coughing up blood several more times, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Meanwhile, the other man, after fighting for so long, only had a few strands of hair disheveled at his temples, but showed no signs of being in a sorry state.
Liu Jun then stopped and stood up, even taking the time to dust off his robes before looking at the person.
"Phew, I've gotten rid of that annoying guy. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. He does have some brains, and joining forces with you is a wise choice. However, his brains are not as sharp as yours."
"Oh, you've been seen through. So, what's next..."
Liu Jun didn't waste any words with him, took out a bottle of pills and poured them into his mouth.
Under the catalysis of the elixir, Liu Jun's strength suddenly increased several times, leaping to the third level of True Immortal.
The person opposite seemed intrigued: "Oh? A secret medicine that can temporarily boost cultivation?"
"However, he has only advanced to the third level of True Immortal. He is still far behind me."
Liu Jun smiled faintly: "Is it that much different? But I think it's enough."
Having said that, Liu Jun's figure moved toward him like a ghost in an instant. The man was so shocked that he didn't have time to react before Liu Jun's hand turned into a sharp claw and gripped his lifeline tightly. If he had gone any further, he would have died on the spot.
"you lose."
The other person's pupils dilated, cold sweat poured down their face, and they stared at the person in front of them in disbelief: "I...I...I lost."
This attack seemed truly aimed at taking his life.
The ruthlessness and murderous aura he exuded were so intense it was chilling, but the moment he surrendered, everything vanished as if it were all just his imagination.
