Mortal Mirror

The Human King looked at the countless cultivators below, pressed down with both hands, and said with a majestic voice: "The World's First Martial Arts Tournament is jointly organized by the Imperial Court and the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, to give everyone in the world a chance to show themselves. Therefore, I hope everyone will give full play to their strength.

In this way, we four great families can see your excellence and you can become pillars of our Great Xia."

As soon as these words came out, countless people cheered for it.

Daoist Lu Yun also said, "The Daoist sect welcomes you. We will see your efforts. The highest excellence is like that of water. The door of Dao is open for you."

"Amitabha, well said, well said. All that has form is illusion. If you feel lost, you can come to my Buddhist sect and I will guide you through your confusion."

"To establish the heart for the world, to establish life for the people, to continue the unique learning for the past sages, and to create peace for all generations, we Confucian disciples are not ashamed of the heavens above, nor of the people below. Though thousands of people stand in my way, I shall go forth.

Scholars, go and prove yourselves. The door of Confucianism will always be open for you."

At this moment, a huge figure of a Confucian sage appeared in the sky, looking down like a god. Countless people were so excited by this scene that they cheered.

The Human King, Lu Yun, and Yuanguang were immediately dissatisfied with Zhou Xuantong. This guy was secretly using the power of Dharma, wasn't he playing tricks? In this way, wouldn't it highlight the uniqueness of his Confucianism?

What a shameless person, they all despised in their hearts. This guy is hypocritical and too shameless behind his back.

Zhou Xuantong ignored these things and looked at the Human King and said, "Please, Human King, announce the rules of the competition."

The Human King could not say much at this time, and could only say with a straight face:

"This competition is divided into three stages, the same as in previous years.

The first stage is to use the Trial Stele to test your comprehensive strength. Only those who meet the standard can participate. As for the reason, I think everyone knows it, that is, to directly screen out the weak, otherwise, fighting in the end would be a waste of everyone's time.

After the first round of screening, the second stage will be the simplest fight. As it's a martial arts tournament, the winner is king.

However, the competition of the World's First Martial Arts Tournament is not about fighting to the death, but about selecting a younger generation with better qualifications.

Therefore, you people will not immediately start competing for the top spots, and the top players are not necessarily the strongest in martial arts. This is also the difference between the Martial Arts Tournament and other competitions.

Among all of you, as long as the top 100 are selected, the competition will be temporarily suspended.

These 100 people will not engage in martial arts duels. They will enter the third stage, the test of Dao heart, to see if your Dao hearts are firm. You must know that ultimate martial power is not everything. You also need to have a pure heart, so that you can achieve the supreme.

After the Dao heart test, if your Dao hearts pass the test, you will have to undergo the final test, which will determine your ranking after this competition.

That is to go to the land of the North Sea for the ultimate test in the practical stage. If you pass the test, then congratulations, you are the strongest young generation of this year.

You will be qualified to bear greater responsibilities and better resources."

As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that this World's First Martial Arts Tournament was not what everyone imagined, just a crazy killing and fighting, where the winner is king.

Many people were talking about the North Sea, and they were also talking about how the competition rules seemed very harsh.

After the Human King finished speaking, he ignored the crowd's discussion. He took out an extremely ancient box from his arms. The box was not big, about the size of a fist.

He opened the box and took out a mini stone tablet from it. He cast several finger gestures at the stone tablet, and then threw the stone tablet onto the square.

The mini stone tablet shone with dazzling golden light in mid-air, and then its body began to grow continuously, and it continued to emit rumbling sounds, like the sound of thousands of horses galloping, making people's blood boil.

After a loud bang, everyone saw that there was a huge stone tablet in the square. The stone tablet was a hundred zhang high, extremely ancient, and even gave people a feeling of infinite vicissitudes, and no one knew how long this stone tablet had existed.

One side of the stone tablet was written with three vigorous and ancient characters... Void Heaven Stele.

Below the Void Heaven Stele, there were some smaller characters, clearly written: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and regard all things as straw dogs. A golden elixir is born in the abdomen, and only then do I know that my life is not up to heaven.

On the other side, however, were densely packed names.

The Human King told everyone that these names were left by previous contestants.

The higher the name, the more powerful the person is. Usually, the cultivators at the top are more likely to enter the top 100 of the World's First Martial Arts Tournament.

Although this is not absolute, the higher the name can be left on this stele, the more it proves the strength of this person, which is an undeniable thing.

Li Ergou looked at it from a distance. The stone tablet was extremely tall, and many names were below fifty zhang. Starting from fifty zhang, the names above became increasingly sparse. In the interval between seventy zhang and eighty zhang, there were less than a hundred names.

By eighty zhang, there were only a dozen names. To his surprise, there were only three names above ninety zhang.

The first at the bottom was actually Yu Tongtian. He was amazed in his heart. He didn't expect that the senior was so powerful when he was young. He deserves to be the peerless Sword Venerable, truly extraordinary.

The second name was a bit strange, written as Tao Tao. At this moment, Zhu Zhu immediately told him that this person was extraordinary and was known as the Sword Maniac. Unfortunately, this person was crazy about the sword and almost became possessed. His whereabouts are unknown. Some say he has fallen, and some say he has gone to a very, very far place, perhaps entering the Guixu.

Li Ergou sighed in his heart, but in any case, being ranked second is very admirable. This is a peerless genius-like existence.

At the highest point, there were three large characters written... Zhou Buhui.

Li Ergou looked at these three characters in amazement, because these characters actually pulled the second and third place far apart. The third place was around ninety-one zhang, the second place was around ninety-three zhang, and Zhou Buhui's name was actually at a height of ninety-seven zhang, just a little bit away from reaching the peak.

What a pity, but I don't know who this person is. He immediately asked Zhu Zhu.

However, Zhu Zhu had never heard of this person, which was a bit surprising, after all, the person who can leave a name on this stele must be extraordinary.

He also asked the other people, but no one knew this name, even the knowledgeable Lu Changsheng, Tiancan, and Dimu didn't know, which was puzzling. Could it be that this person does not exist at all?

It's a pity that Senior Yu Tongtian is not here, otherwise, he would definitely know.

Just as he was wondering, Cao Tiezhu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said to him, "This person, I know."
