Di Jiu suppressed the urge to continue asking questions and followed the many participating cultivators into the raised platform in the middle of the square.
There were twelve hundred more tables and chairs on the platform, without numbers, and Di Jiu, like the rest of the participants, casually found a chair and sat down. He was a little confused as to why the True Domain Genius Competition needed tables and chairs, was it a test paper exam being given out? Isn’t the competition in the cultivation world a straightforward duel?
Only after all the participating geniuses were seated did the middle-aged man continue, “I am Xigu Boyang, the Lord of Ascension City, and I am also presiding over this True Domain Genius Competition. There are a total of twelve hundred geniuses participating in the True Domain Genius Grand Competition, before the first round begins, all cultivators who are over two hundred years old are asked to step forward and automatically withdraw from the competition. The withdrawal time is ten breaths.”
Di Jiu noticed Gu Jue, he was confident that his divine mind would not be wrong, there should be two Yuan Shen in Gu Jue’s body. One of the Yuan Shen must be over two hundred years old, and he was curious to know if Gu Jue would be caught out.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven ……”
Xigu Boyan was extremely quick to report his times, and in a short time he had reported one.
Not a single person got up and withdrew, and Di Jiu was just wondering if everyone was clear about the rules of the competition so no one would exceed two hundred when he saw two shadows rush up into the sky.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts had been paying attention to the surroundings and these two shadows were two participating geniuses sitting on chairs. After these two geniuses rushed out of the tens of feet range, they suddenly exploded in the air with a “bang”, and finally even the blood mist disappeared.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts immediately landed on the chairs beneath him, but he did not find anything wrong, but he soon understood what was going on. The spell formation was not carved on the chair, but on the raised ground beneath his feet.
To Di Jiu’s surprise, Gu Jue was fine; there must be two Yuan Shen in Gu Jue’s body, and it was surprising that they had not been examined under such circumstances.
At the same time Di Jiu also saw the teenager with a full beard, that guy had gotten his qualification card somewhere, and again there was nothing wrong when checking his age.
“Good, the two imposter geniuses who are not qualified to participate in the competition have been turned into nothingness, now I will talk about the rules and rewards of this genius competition.” Xigu Bo Yang seemed satisfied that there were only two unqualified participants this time.
Although Di Jiu’s divine thoughts did not thoroughly sweep the entire Ascension Square, he could still sense that at least nearly twenty peak powerhouses had come here, and the auras of these powerhouses should all be Domain Realm. This Xigu Boyan in front of him was also at the Domain Realm, but he should still be a level below those powerhouses, estimated to be around the first level of the Domain Realm.
At this moment, whether it was the cultivators watching the competition in the square or the participants, all of them were silent. All of them had heard that the rules of this True Domain Genius Competition had changed, and that the number of places to gain access to the Immortal Ascension Formation had become four.
The square became silent and Xigu Boyan’s voice became clearer and clearer, “In the past, every time the True Domain Genius Competition was held, seventeen people were allowed to enter the Immortal Realm. Because of the unstable void pa*sage of the Immortal Ascension Formation, only four cultivators will be able to enter the Immortal Realm through the True Domain Genius Competition this time. Moreover, these four people all have a task, and must bring the news of the imminent closure of the True Domain Ascension Formation to the Immortal Realm. This time, the four places are allocated to two people in first place, and one person each in second and third place.
The rules of the competition are divided into three rounds, with the first two rounds scoring points and the first round challenging. The first round will be scored at one hundred points for the knowledge, the second round will be scored at one hundred points for the method, and the top three will be the three who have temporarily won the place. The third round is the challenge round, where all geniuses with the top twenty points can challenge the top three. The rules of the challenge will be announced in the third round. Before the competition, all participating geniuses turn on the divine thought shielding bans on their seats.”
There was no need for Xigu Bo Yang to say anything, the participating geniuses on the square had already opened their shielding bans.
Xigu Bo Yang continued, “There are ten questions for the first round, please write your answers in front of the formation screen that appears in front of you, and don’t forget to write down your names.”
After Di Jiu hit the ban, a void formation screen also appeared on the table in front of him with ten test questions on it. He subconsciously looked at the huge formation display in the middle of the square and reckoned that as soon as he finished answering the questions on his side, the score and ranking would appear on that formation display.
This kind of competition eliminated the possibility of some cheating.
The first question was a big picture of a blue spirit vein, and then the contestants were asked to write down what kind of spirit vein this blue spirit vein was and where it appeared.
Usually the first question was a bonus point question, but Di Jiu knew his business, and if he hadn’t obtained the World Book, he wouldn’t have been able to answer this question even if it was a bonus point. He had then been given a blue spirit vein, which he had cultivated a large part of, and the part left behind was given to Geng Jie. Later he also knew from the World Book that it was a thunder spirit vein.
Where a thunder spirit vein appeared, there must be clear rules of the thunder system. It was a pity that at that time Di Jiu was too weak to make use of the thunder rules in that blue light cave at all.
……
There were more than ten peak powerhouses sitting on a hanging building on the leftmost side of the Ascension Square, a place where one could clearly see all the proceedings of the competition on the Ascension Square.
Sitting on the leftmost seat of the hanging building was a Hatchet-skinned man, what stood out more than his skin would be the horse face and hanging eyebrows.
Despite his oddly smelly appearance, this man was the number one powerhouse in the entire True Domain, Mei Ba Fan. Not only was this man’s cultivation level extremely strong, but he was also ruthless and ruthless. No matter who opposed this man, he would never leave any trace of trouble behind and would kill them all.
This Mei Bafan is also the master of the first of the five domains of the True Domain, the Mei Yi Domain. The family’s resources in the True Domain had always been less than the main five domains, but as a result, Mei Bajie went up to the door and single-handedly leveled the first strongest domain in the True Domain, Kun Yi Domain, and then renamed Kun Yi Domain as Mei Yi Domain.
Legend has it that when Mei Bajie killed people in the Kunyi Domain, the sky turned red with mist.
After Mei Bafan changed the Kun Yi domain into the Mei Yi domain, he became an existence that no one dared to mess with in the True Domain. If not for the fact that the Immortal Ascension Formation had been agreed upon by the True Domain a long time ago, and that it was not something that Mei Bafan could eat up alone, Mei Bafan might have hijacked the Immortal Ascension Formation.
“Lord Mei, this time the first place in the True Domain Genius Battle would be yours, Mei Zhiyun of the Mei Yi Domain.” The man who spoke was a slender man who was also one of the five great domain lords, Bay Hong of the Intercepting Star Domain.
“Hahahaha!” Mei Bafan laughed loudly, his horse face even twitched a few times, “Domain Lord Bay is too modest, your Truncated Star Domain’s Bay Shao Xiang has heavenly qualifications, and not long ago he even obtained a heavenly chance at the Little Central Star, he also has the potential to compete for the first place.”
Having said that, everyone could clearly feel that he did not object to Bay Hong’s words. In fact, he had already locked in the first place, his son Mei Zhiyun was at the seventh level of the True Transformation, at this kind of genius competition, a two-hundred-year-old Robust Life realm was considered a top genius, if the Little Central Star had not opened before this, there would definitely not be more than three at the True Transformation realm.
The second layer of the True Transformation Realm of the Baishao Elephant was just a hit and miss for Mei Zhiyun.
The crowd speculated that the first place this time was Mei Zhiyun, which made Mei Bafan even more proud in his heart. He had crossed into the ninth level of the domain realm and there was no more room for him to advance in the True Domain, so after this great competition, he was planning to go to the Immortal Realm as well.
“Domain Lord Tian Jin, could it be that you still have a different opinion?” Sectarian Domain Lord Bay Hong had already had some disagreements with Tian Jin Domain Lord Mirage Chang Zhu, and now that everyone was praising Mei Zhi Yun of the Mei Yi Domain, the Tian Jin Domain Lord had not spoken and was caught in his crosshairs.
Even Mei Bafan, who was very proud of himself, turned his gaze towards the Heavenly Gold Domain Lord, Illusion Changzhu, who he did not put in his eyes; of the five great domains of the True Domain, the Heavenly Gold Domain Lord was only ranked fourth. If the Heavenly Gold Domain Lord had a problem with his Mei Yi Domain, he would have to finish off Illusory Changzhu before he went to the Immortal Realm.
The Heavenly Gold Domain Lord laughed, “I also think Zhi Yun has a good chance of winning first place this time, but there is one person among the participants this time that everyone must pay attention to, this person has a slight chance of winning first place even though he is not as good as Zhi Yun.”
“Who is it?” Mei Bafan immediately asked, he did not think that Mirage Changzhu would deliberately amuse him in such matters.
“Di Jiu, he also has a nickname in the Little Central World, called the Young Master of the Red Ta*sel. His magic treasure is a long sword, which he carries on his back all year round.” Mirage Changzhu said gruffly.
Previously, he thought that Di Jiu was not qualified to participate in the True Domain Genius Battle, but now that he saw Di Jiu sitting on the stage of the True Domain Genius Battle, he realised that he had misread his eyes. The fact that Di Jiu was not even two hundred years old was appalling, and he had been shocked by this matter.
“Di Jiu?” Mei Bajie frowned, he didn’t seem to have heard of this name before.
The Heavenly Gold Domain Lord pointed at Bay Hong and said, “I believe no one here would know Di Jiu better than the Interceptor Domain Lord, Di Jiu’s friend was the one who slaughtered the Interceptor Domain Lord’s son in Little Central Star. If it were me, I wouldn’t be as broad-minded as the Interceptor Domain Lord and would still allow Di Jiu to go to the tournament.”
