Chapter 967: Extra: Immortal World (Twenty-Four)
Lou Mu Yan and her party got off the flying boat and lined up to enter the city with the person in charge of the Purgatory Arena.
No other way, there were too many people coming from all the big and small Immortal Realms, and a thousand Xuan Tian Guards were mobilised to guard the four city gates, requiring them to enter the city in an orderly manner, otherwise they would be directly disqualified from entering the city.
Of course, a powerful Immortal Venerable could fly into the city—this was a privilege.
“So those are Xuan Tian Guards! As expected, each of them are heroic and powerful with extraordinary force.”
While queuing up outside the city gate, many people came together to talk.
“The Xuan Tian Guards have extremely powerful defence after putting on special armour. I heard that the lowest level of strength is an Honoured Venerable. Only the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm in the entire Immortal World has such ability and equips an army with such strength.”
“This is also due to the ability of Great Immortal Venerable Tian Xuan as a divine grade array master. Most of the Xuan Tian Guards’ armours were all created from his hand and have arrays engraved on them, making their defence close to invincible.
“There are countless cultivators throughout the Immortal Realm who want to join the Xuan Tian Army, but they need to pass various exams. It is said that the success rate is only ten people at most among ten thousand people. Such harsh conditions also determine that the various qualities of the Xuan Tian Guards are very high.
“Exactly! The lowest level commanders of the Xuan Tian Guards are Great Honoured Venerables, and the regiment commanders above them are composed of Lower Immortal Venerables and Intermediate Immortal Venerables. Who could compete with them when they’re dispatched.”
“The Xuan Tian Immortal Realm is indeed the most powerful Immortal Realm in the Immortal World, truly enrapturing!”
“…”
Many people present were shocked by the auras of the Xuan Tian Guards who appeared and discussed in whispers.
Lou Mu Yan had long heard about her Master’s famous Xuan Tian Guards in the Immortal Realm, and seeing it this time, they were indeed extraordinary.
“Yan’er, do you want to go find your Master first, or wait until the Purgatory Conference is over?” Ming Xiu asked while holding Lou Mu Yan’s hand and walking.
Lou Mu Yan thought for a moment, then said: “Let’s do it after the Purgatory Conference. Then we can give that old man a surprise.”
“Maybe he already knew when you entered Xuan Tian City.” Ming Xiu chucked.
Lou Mu Yan was Old Man Tian Xuan’s most precious disciple, and her aura had long been known to him.
With Old Man Tian Xian’s talents and abilities, he believed that the other party would already know as soon as they entered Xuan Tian City.
Lou Mu Yan shrugged and said: “He won’t show up immediately even if he discovered me. He will definitely watch our performance in the Purgatory Exchange Tournament.”
Her Master, that old child, would probably watch her and Ming Xiu’s competitions from a distance, then point and judge her.
“That’s fine, exposing Great Immortal Venerable Tian Xuan as your Master prematurely will definitely attract too much attention from the forces.” Ming Xiu nodded.
It took them nearly two hours from the city gate to entering the city.
Every Purgatory Arena from each Immortal Realm had already arranged accommodation in the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, so Lou Mu Yan and the others didn’t need to worry about this.
Before going to live in the residence in Xuan Tian City, the person in charge of the Ling Su Immortal Realm’s Purgatory Arena gathered all the people attending the Conference to make an announcement.
“Now that everyone has arrived at Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, there are a few things I need to explain.
“First, you can live in the accommodation provided by our Purgatory Arena, or you can go out and live in other places in the city by yourself. From now on, you are free to move around. No matter what you do, you must bear the consequences yourself.
“Second, the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm is the largest Immortal Realm in the entire Immortal World. There are many distinguished clans based here, and any one of them can crush the largest distinguished clan in Ling Su Immortal Realm. So during the time you’re staying in the city, you’d better keep a low-profile and not cause trouble. Otherwise, once you provoke the important pupils of certain large clans, the consequences will be very serious.
“Third, the Final Exchange Competition of the Purgatory Arena will be officially held in three months. You should all give it everything you have. As long as you can win a hundred matches in a row in the exchange competition, you will be able to participate in the Hundred-Wine Banquet hosted by Great Immortal Venerable Tian Xuan. Seize this opportunity well.
“I won’t go into details about the rest. In short, from now on, all your actions have nothing to do with our Purgatory Arena. You should all take care.”
The person in charge of their Purgatory Arena left right after finishing what he needed to explain. There were others arranging the accommodation for Lou Mu Yan and the others.
The contestants of Ling Su Immortal Realm were divided among dozens of courtyards. Lou Mu Yan, Ming Xiu, and Yan Shuang were divided into the courtyard of Su Immortal Palace at Lou Mu Lan’s request.
The next day, Lou Mu Lan took the three of them to stroll around Xuan Tian City.
Xuan Tian City was now overcrowded, and the main street was filled with people attending the Purgatory Conference, as well as people coming from all directions and Immoral Realms to join in the fun.
Not only were there a lot of people on the streets in Xuan Tian City, but there were also even more people in the big shops everywhere, and the things they sold were awfully expensive. Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu also lost interest in continuing to wander around Xuan Tian City, and planned to wait until the competition was over to take the winning bets, then wander around slowly.
Yan Shuang was also a bit tight on money. Although she won a lot of celestial stones in the gambling battlefield, but she also spent all that money on spiritual items to temper her slaughterer’s force, and she also didn’t have much enthusiasm for wandering around.
The three of them wandered around for a day, then remained in the courtyard to cultivate.
During this period, Old Man Tian Xuan telepathically sent a message to Lou Mu Yan, asking her and Ming Xiu to take part in the competition well, and attend the Hundred-Wine Banquet. He also gave her and Ming Xiu guidance on cultivation through his divine consciousness.
Soon, the Purgatory Conference arrived as scheduled.
The final exchange competition of the Purgatory Conference was arranged to be held in the largest gambling battlefield in Xuan Tian City.
The Purgatory Arena divided the contestants from various Immortal Realms into thirty groups and drew lots to determine the quota for each group. The person in each group that drew a number one would battle first, then the people behind would take to the stage to challenge based on their serial numbers.
The person who won one hundred consecutive matches and defended their ring would win a spot to participate in the Hundred-Wine Banquet. If there was a failure, the winner would continue to face the following challengers until they won one hundred consecutive matches.
This kind of lot drawing depended entirely on luck, and there was no behind-the-scenes operation. If one was lucky, the opponents one encountered wouldn’t be too strong. If one was unlucky, one would encounter strong opponents as soon as they began.
Yan Shuang drew a lot towards the front this time, and her luck was the type where she was lucky in the beginning, but extremely unlucky towards the end.
She barely managed to avoid all kinds of dangers and won ninety-nine matches, but in the hundredth match, she encountered a strong enemy. She tried all her trump cards but failed to shake the opponent and was directly defeated with one move.
Lou Mu Lan was drawn towards the middle. He was very powerful and was a successor personally trained by Great Immortal Venerable Ling Su. Although he met several other talented people in the Immortal Realm, but he still managed to win a hundred matches after using his trump cards.
Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu were both towards the last section of the lots this time, and it wasn’t until more than four months later that it was their turn to challenge.
Lou Mu Yan encountered opponents that were both strong and weak, and it was particularly difficult to win the last few matches. The opponents were all outstanding members of the younger generation from great distinguished clans in the Great Immortal Realms, and they had many tricks and methods up their sleeves, as well as more than one trump card.
However, she had already achieved great perfection in her Domains, and combined with her unique skill of an eight-attribute sword array, she successfully won a hundred consecutive victories in the final battle after some struggle.
Ming Xiu’s trump cards, plus the unique skill, also swept clean the obstacles along the way, but he did suffer a little bit of a loss at the hands of a beautiful woman he met towards the end. Ultimately, he used a new method with illusions to narrowly defeat the opponent and successfully defended his victory a hundred consecutive times.
After the challenge, Ming Xiu, Lou Mu Yan, and their group left the gambling battlefield. No one noticed that the beautiful woman in the distance showed a crazy and stubborn possessiveness towards Ming Xiu in her eyes.
Random Note: Ok, fine author, a final crazy woman in this story, let’s see what she’s got HAHAHA. 3 more chapters!!!
