Open up and break into another world

“From the Barbaric Sect?”

The Palace Master of Po Tian Palace looked slightly serious and sighed, “How long has it been? Finally, I see a figure from the Barbaric Sect at the Dao Inquiry Banquet again! It’s just that… the cause of Sect Leader Gu’s death has remained unknown for millions of years!”

The “Sect Leader Gu” mentioned by the Palace Master of Po Tian Palace was, of course, not Gu Kongshan, but the ancestor of the former holy land, the Barbaric Sect!

“This person?” The Palace Master of Po Tian Palace’s mental power landed on Xu Ming, but he didn’t sense any fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao, and he couldn’t help but frown slightly, “He’s not a Dao Lord yet?”

Old Man Xuan Qing explained, “This person’s name is ‘Xu Ming’, and he is not a true Dao Lord! However, three years ago, when he was only seventeen years old, the Mirror of Asking Heaven detected that he had the strength to rival a Dao Lord! — It’s really rare for a seventeen-year-old to be able to rival a Dao Lord! I estimate that he should have comprehended several realms of the Spiritual Peak!”

“Rare is rare…” The Palace Master of Po Tian Palace pondered for a while, “However, if he was seventeen three years ago, then he is twenty years old now! At twenty years old, but still not comprehending the Heavenly Dao, this comprehension is a bit ordinary… As for the artistic conception? — Even if he comprehends seven, eight, or even nine realms of the Spiritual Peak, it is ultimately a ‘small path’; only by comprehending the origin of the Heavenly Dao is it a ‘broad road’ and the ‘right path’!”

“That’s true!” Old Man Xuan Qing also said, “However, he is too young! So, I can’t make up my mind whether to classify him as ‘once in fifty years’ or ‘once in a hundred years’!”

The more heaven-defying a genius is, the more resources the race will definitely use to nurture them.

“Let’s count him as ‘once in a hundred years’!” The Palace Master of Po Tian Palace said casually, “After all, since the Barbaric Sect declined, it has been rare to produce such a genius! Let’s give him some slight resource inclination!”

“Okay!” Old Man Xuan Qing actually had the same idea; it was just that he happened to be talking about the topic of “genius”, so he casually mentioned it to the Palace Master of Po Tian Palace.

“Actually… Xu Ming, and the other dozen or so ‘once in a hundred years’ geniuses, I don’t care much about! The possibility of them achieving Dao Lord is too low; in fact, I can’t even guarantee that they will be able to step into Dao Venerable!” The Palace Master of Po Tian Palace stroked the two curved horns on the top of his head, “What surprises me the most are Lin Chen, Qin Ke, and Yun Fan! Especially Lin Chen, a ‘once in ten thousand years’ genius; when he grows up, our human race will add another top combat power!”

…

The Dao Destiny Battle had not yet reached the time to begin. At the Dao Inquiry Banquet, there was a scene of exchanging cups and discussing Dao.

“Dao Lord Mu Li, I have some doubts about the Heavenly Dao of Wood, can I ask for some guidance!” An old man with white hair, his eyes flashing with longing.

In the world of cultivators, age is not judged by appearance.

Some people have the appearance of a young girl, but may be a ten-thousand-year-old hag; some people have the appearance of an old man, but are actually only a few hundred years old — a few hundred years old, at the Dao Lord level, is simply too young, simply a “child”!

Dao Lord Mu Li looked amiable: “We are drinking and discussing Dao, if you have any doubts, feel free to speak!”

Clang—

Three silent chimes rang directly in the depths of everyone's hearts.

The chime was simple and unadorned, yet it contained profound principles of the Heavenly Dao. Some powerful beings who were trapped in cultivation bottlenecks even felt that the confusion in their hearts had been reduced a lot all at once.

Old Man Xuan Qing ascended the high platform and said in a calm tone: “The ‘Heart-Questioning Bell’ rings, the Dao Destiny Battle begins!”

Xu Ming's eyes lit up: “The Dao Destiny Battle is finally about to begin!”

He really wanted to meet and greet the countless geniuses of the three thousand six hundred territories!

“I heard that the most powerful one is that Lin Chen from the Purple Moon Holy Land? It seems like he has the strength of a Five-Step Dao Lord…”

Xu Ming had been sitting here drinking for a long time, so of course he had learned a lot of information about the three thousand six hundred territories.

For example, the Purple Moon Holy Land quickly rose to become a holy land after the decline of the Barbaric Sect; for example, Lin Chen, the most talented in this Dao Destiny Battle, is known as a rare sight in ten thousand years…

“Five-Step Dao Lord… I really can't beat him!” Xu Ming calculated his strength and Lin Chen's strength, “However, I should be able to fight against others, even those two ‘thousand-year’ level geniuses!”

Above the high platform, Old Man Xuan Qing waved his hand, and the walls of the third floor of the Dao Inquiry Palace all turned into water curtain images.

What was seen in the image was a peaceful and tranquil landscape world — this world was specially created for the Dao Destiny Battle.

“The rules of the Dao Destiny Battle, I'm sure many people already know, but I'll still repeat them one more time!”

Old Man Xuan Qing said loudly.

“To participate in the Dao Destiny Battle, you must be within a hundred years old and have a strength above the Second Realm of the Spiritual Peak!”

“It is not allowed to carry any weapons, nor is it allowed to carry storage rings, communication talismans, etc.! — When entering the ‘Landscape World’, my Dao Inquiry Palace will provide you with a piece of equipment, a letter talisman, and a storage ring!”

The newest and fastest novels are at six/9/shu/ba/dot/com!

“The small teleportation array next to you will randomly teleport you to any place in the Landscape World. What you need to do in the Landscape World is to collect this kind of ‘Nine-Colored Stone’ in my hand!”

As Old Man Xuan Qing spoke, he took out a Nine-Colored Stone, allowing everyone to see it.

“You can go to the hidden places in the Landscape World to find this Nine-Colored Stone; or you can… directly rob others!”

As soon as Old Man Xuan Qing said this, everyone immediately understood that this was encouraging mutual slaughter!

“The first one thousand geniuses to collect eight hundred Nine-Colored Stones and successfully bring them out of the Landscape World will be victorious and will be able to enter the ‘Human Race God Kingdom’ to cultivate! — These one thousand geniuses can also exchange the Nine-Colored Stones for low-grade Dao Stones at a one-to-one ratio when leaving the Landscape World; of course, geniuses who are not in the top one thousand cannot exchange!”

The Nine-Colored Stone is purely a Dao tool for the Dao Destiny Battle and has no other use. Exchanging Nine-Colored Stones for low-grade Dao Stones is purely a benefit for the top one thousand geniuses.

“By the way, let me remind you: entering the Dao Destiny Battle means that life and death are destined and wealth is in the sky. If you die, you can't blame others. If you feel that your life is in danger, you can immediately crush the letter talisman, and you will be teleported out!”

“Have you all understood?” Old Man Xuan Qing glanced at the entire Dao Inquiry Banquet scene, and after confirming that no one had any doubts, he said, “Since everyone has understood, then please stand up if you are a genius who wants to participate in the Dao Destiny Battle! Those who meet the conditions will be teleported into the Landscape World!”

Immediately, geniuses stood up in various places at the Dao Inquiry Banquet.

In areas with few people, such as the area where Lake Heart Island is located, there are only two geniuses: one is Xu Ming, and the other is Xiao Wenlong, a Second Realm Spiritual Peak genius from Lake Heart Island — one of Xu Ming's soul slaves.

In areas with many people, such as the areas where those holy lands are located, when they stand up, it is a dense nest!

In the three thousand six hundred territories, that is, three thousand six hundred areas, suddenly, more than one hundred thousand geniuses stood up!

Whoosh— Whoosh—

More than one hundred thousand teleportation rays shot down from the top of the third floor of the Dao Inquiry Palace. Each ray enveloped a genius.

The Dao Destiny Battle has begun!!
