"The spot is no problem. With your strength, you'll definitely win easily," the eldest prince said with a smile.
After Qin Chuan brought it up, the eldest prince agreed without hesitation.
They weren't fools; Qin Chuan's future achievements were immeasurable. If Qin Chuan left the Great Wind Dynasty, the stronger and more valued he would be within the sect, the greater the benefits for the Great Wind Dynasty.
The Sun and Moon Sect was already a major power in this area; if they could be noticed by the Nine Heavens Sun and Moon Sect, things would be even more different.
The spot was confirmed, and the eldest prince was among them. The Sun and Moon Sect was the territory of this region; to achieve something, to reach the pinnacle, this was a necessary step.
If he could leave the Sun and Moon Sect, he could rise to prominence, soaring freely. Even if he couldn't leave, he could still achieve extraordinary things here, remaining a superior person.
Everyone wanted to fly higher; no one wanted to be second to anyone, especially in this vast world, where everyone wanted to venture out and see the world.
Qin Chuan was in good shape now; he had finally found a path to the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess Palace, at least for now.
He didn't want to ask any more questions. He wouldn't inquire about the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess Palace again until he reached the Nine Heavens Sun and Moon Gate, because asking would be pointless.
Several days passed in a flash, and Prince Qin Chuan and his group entered with their quota tokens.
This was a valley, and on one of the huge peaks was a large stone platform.
This was a natural martial arts platform.
Because of the special material of the mountain's stone, it was very difficult to break, especially for those below the War God realm.
It was suitable for building a martial arts platform and for cultivating here.
Unfortunately, this material was not suitable for forging, but it was suitable for building special things, such as royal palaces, imperial palaces, martial arts platforms, and so on.
However, this was a huge undertaking, because it required special materials and martial artists below the Transcendent God realm to work on it...
So many people!
Upon entering this mountain range, they discovered a large number of people. These people could be said to be geniuses from various forces, gathered here hoping that the Sun and Moon Gate would take notice of them.
This wasn't even the Nine Heavens Sun and Moon Gate; for a branch of the Nine Heavens Sun and Moon Gate to have such a large entourage, it was hard to imagine how vast the Nine Heavens Sun and Moon Gate truly was.
Look at all these people swarming across the mountains, all vying for a mere hundred or so spots. With luck, they might become outer disciples.
Outer disciples aren't considered formal disciples, but if they make any contributions, they can become formal disciples.
After all, outer disciples don't generally qualify to become formal disciples, but if they have any fortuitous encounters or make any contributions later, such as discovering precious spiritual herbs or information for the sect, they might become formal disciples.
Formal disciples have a prestigious status, especially those from the Sun and Moon Sect; in the Great Wind Dynasty, they could practically walk with impunity.
Because of the unique nature of the rocks, most of the mountains are barren, with only some areas devoid of rocks having dense vegetation.
These special rocky mountains, though incredibly hard, can absorb and condense a thin wisp of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, so plants cannot grow on them themselves, but the surrounding vegetation thrives immensely. There
are several stone platforms on the mountain; Qin Chuan glanced at them casually—about ten. From top to bottom, the platforms are large, and on the first platform stands a row of strong, muscular men.
These people possessed a powerful aura, their clothes adorned with a small sun—and the woman with a small moon.
They were disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect.
This first martial arts arena was actually a test; a row of Sun and
Moon Sect disciples would wait for those who wanted to challenge them. This challenge was essentially an introductory one; after a few exchanges, if the Sun and Moon Sect disciples approved, one could proceed. This was the first selection.
There were simply too many people; they couldn't start the competition immediately. The Sun and Moon Sect didn't actually recognize these so-called geniuses from various factions. Although these factions had sent their talents, the Sun and Moon Sect still needed to conduct a selection process, and it was a single round. Those who
couldn't even pass this first arena were eliminated and had no chance to continue the competition.
Don't underestimate this first arena; half the participants would be eliminated here.
Therefore, many descended dejectedly, while others excitedly headed for the second arena.
If the first arena eliminated half, the second would eliminate another half.
The first arena was merely a superficial test, a general assessment of strength.
The second round is much more detailed, requiring a brief battle to assess strength, combat power, fighting talent, growth potential, and other factors.
If the assessment is uncertain, the participant moves to the next arena. Even with a good assessment, there are two outcomes: if the assessment is accurate but unsuccessful, the participant is eliminated;
if it is accurate and successful, the participant continues to advance.
After five rounds of selection, only a few remain. These individuals are then divided into four arenas based on their strength and cultivation level for the competition.
The goal is to match participants with similar strength and cultivation levels, as someone at the third or fourth level of the Void Realm would certainly be no match for someone at the Half-Step War God Realm.
It was Qin Chuan's turn to fight on the first arena. His opponent was a young man at the Void Realm Perfection level.
He was very young, but his eyes were arrogant, and he looked at Qin Chuan with disdain, seemingly inattentive. The man calmly said, "Hurry up, stop dawdling. If you're not going to fight, get off."
Qin Chuan frowned slightly. Many of these Sun Moon Sect members were arrogant, but compared to those who came here for the assessment, they certainly had the right to be so.
Qin Chuan really disliked the other party's attitude, but he didn't take it to heart and said, "Then I'll attack."
"Stop arguing, hurry up, the sooner we finish, the sooner we're done." The young man urged impatiently.
Qin Chuan shook his head and casually threw a punch.
Dragon Fist!
This was a fist technique from the Nine Dragons Divine Power Technique. He hadn't used it much, but now he could use it. A casual punch.
Roar!
A faint dragon roar, a powerful aura burst from Qin Chuan's body, and a blue dragon shadow coiled around Qin Chuan's arm.
A huge fist formed from blue aura slammed towards the young man.
The eighth level of Void Realm was two minor realms lower than the opponent's Void Realm Perfection, especially Void Realm Perfection, which was crucial. So, under normal circumstances, the gap between Qin Chuan and the Sun Moon Sect disciple was quite large.
The Sun Moon Sect disciple didn't take Qin Chuan's attack seriously at all. Even though Qin Chuan's attack looked imposing, attacks from the Void Realm were always powerful.
So the young man's punch came.
Bang!
A dull thud sounded, and then Qin Chuan remained motionless, while the Sun Moon Sect disciple was sent flying like a cannonball...
