The group sat in the most conspicuous place at the front of the square, right next to the dan platform. Sheng Houtian’s gaze swept over to Ning Cheng and nodded to him with a smile.
At this moment, the square was already filled with nearly three thousand people, but it still seemed empty. Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept up even more powerful people, not only did Barbarian Huishan, Shi Tianhe, Le Jiesheng, Fei Feng and other bigwigs from all the major sects come, he even saw the Star Treading House Master who was dressed in black robes.
It looked like this Dan Discourse Event was indeed not simple.
With the sound of three drums that seeped into the mind, the ban on the Dan Conference Square was struck, meaning that no more people would be entering.
After the drums stopped, a man dressed in a black Daoist robe of a Dan Saint stepped onto the Dan platform.
He first made a very grand Dan Master salute before saying in a slow voice, “It is time for another bi-centennial Dan Discourse event, I am the Dan Guild Master, Si Chen Qiu Tian, presiding over this Dan Discourse event. I am here to welcome those who have come to discuss pills, as well as those who have come to listen to the pills and the masters of various sects. I have heard that numerous Dan Dao wonders have emerged from the Illusionary Fruit Garden this time, which makes me very happy, and I also long for my Tai Su Realm to far surpass the previous Dan Discourse Events this time.”
All people knew that every time the Dan Discourse Event began, Si Chen Qiu Tian would discuss his understanding of the Dao of Dan, and at this moment the entire Dan Meeting Square was silent. For the dan masters who came to the Dan Discourse, it was the supreme enjoyment and an opportunity. With a Dao Dan powerhouse like Si Chuan Qiu Tian, no one knows when he will be in seclusion for a long time, or leave the Tai Su Realm.
“Dan, for Dan masters of my generation, is also the Dao. The Dao of Dan is also the Dao of Humanity, the Dao of Heaven, and the Dao of Eternal Life. A dan is a jade censer, a golden furnace, a fire, and a mysterious pearl. It requires an understanding of yin and yang, a deep understanding of creation, before one can pursue the two qi in the yellow dao, meet the three natures in the Yuan Gong, gather the five elements and harmonize the four elephants …..
This is the way of the Lesser Dan, the way of the Greater Dan, gathering yin and yang, gathering the five elements, ditching heaven and earth, discussing the rules …… The way of the Greater Dan is not only the way of heaven and man? What is more than the way to longevity? The Way of Dan has no end, the backhanded starry universe is just waiting to be heard ……”
Si Chen Qiu Tian’s voice was not loud, but it sounded as if it was ringing in everyone’s ears, containing an endless aura of dao rhythm in its clarity, causing everyone present to listen to it as if they were mesmerized. Even those who did not know the Dao of Dan could find their own enlightenment in this kind of discourse. Some of the dan masters were even enlightened, and many things became clear to them.
Even though Si Chuan Qiu Tian’s Dan Dao philosophy was completely different from Ning Cheng’s, Ning Cheng also benefited greatly.
The day passed like a ticking clock. When Si Chuan Qiu Tian stopped talking, most of the people were still immersed in the Dao of Dan, unable to extricate themselves.
It was only when Si Chuan Qiu Tian left and the voice of the Dan Association’s Vice Lord, Saint Emperor Qing Yi, rang out that many people woke up.
“Since the fall of the Minkong Dan Saint, my Tai Su Realm’s Dan Dao has become increasingly weak. By the time of the last Dan Discourse Event, there was no one in my Tai Su Realm who could Dan Dao into Tai Yi ……”
Qing Yi Saint Emperor’s words caused Ning Cheng to be somewhat puzzled, and he asked Jian Sanshan who was beside him with a puzzled voice transmission, “Brother Jian, what does Qing Yi Saint Emperor’s words mean?”
Jian Sanshan replied, “The rules of the Tai Su Realm are so broken that both the Dao of Dan, the Dao of Weapons, and the Dao of Runic Formation are far inferior to other interfaces. Including the second step of the Dao of Enlightenment Saint Emperors, they are also at the back of the list in the entire Five Tai Su Realm. In the last Five Realms Dan Competition, the Tai Su Realm ranked last and did not get a single quota to enter the Tai Yi Realm.”
Ning Cheng was secretly shocked in his heart, the fact that Jing Han and Lei Shaam were able to enter the fourth level of the Illusory Fruit Garden indicated that they could refine an exceptional Dao Transformation Divine Pill. Such strength, to enter without even a quota to enter the Taiyi Realm?
“As our Tai Su Realm’s only Dao Yuan Dan Saint, Guild Master Qiu Tian, has said, several talented dan masters have emerged from our Tai Su Realm this time, and we believe that our Tai Su Realm will definitely be able to obtain some results in the Five Realms Dan Competition this time. Because of several consecutive poor results in our Tai Su Realm’s Dan Competition, there are only five people representing my Tai Su Realm in the Dan Competition this time ……”
Qing Yi Saint Emperor’s words immediately caused some chattering voices, and Ning Cheng heard them clearly, these chattering voices were saying that last time there were still ten people representing the Tai Su Realm in the Dan Competition, how come there were only five people left this time. Ning Cheng did not understand it at all and could only ask Jian Sanshan once again.
Jian Sanshan obviously knew better than most people and he explained, “The Five Tai Su Realms Alchemy Competition, the Alchemy Competition and the Dou Shu Competition are all the same. If the results are always at the bottom, then the number of places will be reduced year by year, and five places are the lowest. The best results are usually in the Taiyi Realm ……”
Ning Cheng asked in confusion, “Brother Jian, the Taiyi Realm doesn’t want a quota, so why do they need to participate in the Grand Competition?”
Jian Sanshan smiled and said, “These quotas have great uses, some of which I am not sure about, but I know that every time the Taiyi Realm gets numerous quotas, they will sell some of them. They sell these quotas to other interfaces, asking for ridiculously high prices. Even one of the ten clans would have to break their bones if they wanted to buy a quota.”
“Then can one sneak into the Taiyi Realm?” Ning Cheng asked again.
Jian Sanshan shook his head, “It is absolutely impossible, the rules of the Taiyi Realm are perfect, the interface is incredibly solid, and the boundary protection prohibitions are even heavenly. Even a Daoist would not be able to enter the Taiyi Realm without the permission of the Taiyi Realm controller. There are only two ways to enter the Taiyi Realm, one is through the Great Competition, and the second is through ascension.”
Ning Cheng drew in a cold breath, a controller? He busily asked, “Brother Jian, you said that there were Controllers in the Taiyi Realm? Controlling a realm? Then there are Controllers in our Tai Su Realm too? Everything about us is under the watchful eyes of the Controllers?”
Ning Cheng had to be nervous, he knew that such a thing was not impossible. It was like his Xuanhuang Pearl, once it became a world, he was also the controller of that world.
Jian Sanshan smiled, “It’s good that there are controllers in the Taiyi Realm, but not anyone who can control the Taiyi Realm. If that were the case, who would still be willing to go to the Tai Yi Realm? As for our Tai Su Realm, originally there was a controller as well, only because the controller disappeared after the interface shattered. Now it’s become the Clan Alliance and all the major clan forces together, in charge of the Tai Su Realm.”
Ning Cheng was finally relieved, in case someone was in control of the Tai Su Realm, he could rush to find a way to get away. Being in control like this with the Tai Yi Realm was the same as a person in power, something he could still accept.
“Brother Ning, you have a chance to capture a spot in the Dan Discourse Event to compete in the Five Tai Realms, you mustn’t miss it.” When Jian Sanshan finished speaking, he also admonished Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was just about to ask, when he heard Saint Emperor Qing Yi continue, “In this Dan Discourse Extravaganza, our Tai Su Realm will select five Dan Masters to represent our Tai Su Realm in the Five Tai Realms’ Dan Competition. The dan masters who can represent this Tai Su Realm in the Five Realms Dan Competition will each receive a Qian Yuan Fruit in addition to the support of the major clans and families ……”
The words Qian Yuan Guo came out, and the entire venue became heated. This priceless dao fruit, taking out five of them as a reward at once, such a gesture was simply unimaginable.
Although there were many Dao Fruits appearing in the Illusory Fruit Garden, hundreds of them together would not necessarily be as valuable as one Qian Yuan Fruit. Even if Jing Han and the others had entered the fourth level, they would at most only be able to obtain a very small number of Dao Fruits of Transformation.
The Qian Yuan Fruit was a true Dao Origin Dao Fruit, and it was still one of the most precious of all Dao Origin Dao Fruits. It was a rule dao fruit that allowed the first step of Dao-evidence Saint Emperors to sense the second step, and it could be said that by obtaining a Qian Yuan fruit, one had the chance of achieving the second step of Dao-evidence Saint Emperors.
Even Ning Cheng was a little moved. He had obtained dozens of Dao Fruits trees in the Illusory Fruit Garden, and he had not obtained a single Qian Yuan Fruit. The most valuable Dao Fruits were quite a bit less valuable than the Qian Yuan Fruits.
“…… As far as we know, if we can get first place in the Five Tai Realms in this Dan Competition, we will receive an extremely high quality wood attribute divine spirit vein. Apart from first, the rewards for second and third are just as valuable ……”
Hearing this, Ning Cheng had long since tossed aside the Qian Yuan fruit he had just had, his mind was completely filled with that Wood Attribute Extreme Divine Spirit Vein.
Because of its scarcity, the attribute divine spirit veins were more valuable than the attributeless divine spirit veins. And the most valuable of them all was naturally the wood-attribute divine spirit veins, let alone the extremely high-quality wood-attribute divine spirit veins.
Ning Cheng had been itching in his heart when he saw that top-grade wood-attribute divine spirit vein in the Illusory Fruit Garden. Now that there was actually a reward for an extremely high-quality wood-attribute divine spirit vein, he had to go to this Grand Competition. No matter if he could get first place or not, he had to go for this wood attribute top grade divine spirit vein.
As long as he got this divine Spirit Vein, the various medicinal gardens in his Xuanhuang Pearl, as well as the Dao Fruit Tree, would take on a new life.
“Brother Ning, don’t think that the most precious thing is that Qian Yuan Fruit. In fact, as long as you get the top five and can represent the Tai Su Realm in the Five Tai Realms’ Dan Competition, your harvest will not be weaker than that Qian Yuan Fruit at all.” Jian Sanshan saw the golden glint in Ning Cheng’s eyes and thought that Ning Cheng was moved by the Qian Yuan Fruit.
He did not think that Ning Cheng wanted the Wood Attribute Extreme Divine Spirit Veins, it was good that Ning Cheng was a Dan Dao genius, to say that Ning Cheng could get first place in the Five Tai Su Realm’s Dan Competition was something he did not believe.
Don’t look at the fact that there were only five people from the Tai Su Realm participating in the Five Tai Realms Dan Competition, other interfaces had dozens of Dan Saints participating in the Dan Competition, and there were even Hybrid Dan Saints, that class was not comparable to the Tai Su Realm at all.
“You mean the support from the major sects and clans that Saint Emperor Qing Yi said?” Ning Cheng asked.
Jian Sanshan gave a hmph, “Right, every time someone from the Tai Su Realm qualified to participate in the Five Tai Su Realm Grand Competition, no matter if you were competing in alchemy or refinement or in a dao competition, you would receive a show of support from many sects. Their request was simple: that you get a place and have to allocate part of it to their clan. So as long as you can achieve the top five in this Dan Discourse Event, then the cultivation resources will roll in.”
“Then how many quotas will the first place in the Five Tai Realms Dan Competition get?”
Jian Sanshan replied, “I don’t know about that, I only know that no matter which competition it is, in the end only the top ten will receive the rewards.”
Ning Cheng already had some understanding in his heart, no wonder it was difficult for the Tai Su Realm to obtain a ranking. Five people were competing for the top ten in front of hundreds of powerful Dan Saints, and there were quite a few Hybrid Dan Saints among them, so it was really difficult if one wanted to win.
