Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 695 A generous move

Of course, when he met powerful opponents like Ji Ning and Jiushi Zhenren, Di Ke would also fight with them when he was interested. Needless to say, even if Di Ke deliberately concealed his strength, he could suppress them just by relying on his understanding of the realm of Tao.

But Di Ke did not kill the real top talents in this Immortal Fate Conference. Seeing that the one-year test period was getting closer, and as Bai Yan and Huo Sheng's strength improved, after helping them get enough tokens, the three of them rarely took action.

However, before the end of the one-year period, the Fire Saint, who realized that his progress was not as fast as Bai Yan's and his strength was not as good as Bai Yan's, was very self-aware and took the initiative to give up the token he had obtained, eliminating himself, so as to avoid humiliating himself in the final ranking battle after passing the test because of his weak strength.

His clear-headed and carefree mentality made Dicko admire him a little. But if he knew that everyone who passed the test would have the opportunity to get a magical weapon as a reward, would he regret not trying again?

Unconsciously, the one-year period has come. The closer it gets to the end, the fewer people there are in the world of Mingyue Shanshuitu. The remaining ones are all peerless monsters. Di Ke, who almost crushed the others from the beginning, and Ji Ning, who improved the fastest, are undoubtedly the most dazzling among them. Even Bai Yan, who also improved quickly and was a disciple of the Black and White Academy, has also received attention.

Di Ke and Ji Ning were so evil that the Xuanji ancestor of Shao Yan's family gnashed his teeth, and Lu Dongbin even wanted to take Ji Ning as his disciple.

Above the clouds outside the main hall of Tianmang Palace, Di Ke, Bai Yan, Ji Ning and other eighty people who received the most tokens and passed the test directly appeared out of thin air. After looking at each other, Di Ke and the others saw some other geniuses who were familiar with them or had fought with them before, and they also saw the sloppy master.

"All eighty of you, stand up!" The immortal attendant wearing a tall crown spoke coldly, his eyes swept over the crowd and paused on Dicko. As the personal attendant of Emperor Xia, he was also an immortal, so he naturally had a good eye. He could see that Dicko was almost 100% the first in this Immortal Fate Conference and the one who was most likely to be accepted as a disciple by the Chi Ming Daozu. The status of a disciple of a powerful person like the Daozu was far higher than his.

Soon, sixteen more people appeared on the clouds. They were all the lucky survivors of the final melee. Almost all of them were seriously injured and looked very embarrassed. The high-crowned fairy waiter waved his hand, and some raindrops emitting colorful light fell, which quickly restored the injuries and consumed divine power of the ninety-six people including Di Ke from the fighting.

“Remember, there are thousands of celestial beings in the main hall of Tianmang Palace, as well as His Majesty the Emperor and Pure Yang Immortals from other places in the Three Realms. You must not be careless, otherwise the immortals will get angry and take your lives on the spot. Don’t blame me for not reminding you,” the waiter with a tall crown swept his eyes over the crowd, and only smiled slightly when he looked at Dicko and Sloppy Immortal.

Led by the waiter with a tall crown, Dico and others entered the main hall of the Tianmang Palace, which was surrounded by endless void and clouds. The magnificent palace made Dico secretly admire it. Even the Lingxiao Palace of the Emperor of Heaven might not be more than this, right?
"So many immortals..." While Ji Ning and other geniuses held their breath because of the immortals sitting on both sides of the hall, Di Ke looked up at the top of the hall with a slightly moved expression, and his eyes fell on the Red Dragon Venerable next to Emperor Xia. As he slowly approached there, Di Ke could feel the blood in his body boiling and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Is he... a dragon? A true immortal, could it be..."

"Stop!" When the voice of the waiter with a tall hat rang in his mind, Dicko reacted and saw that Ji Ning and the others had already knelt down. Facing the gazes of Emperor Xia and other gods and immortals, he bowed slightly to Emperor Xia with a little discomfort and said, "Your Majesty!"

"What? Your Majesty doesn't even kneel in front of him?" Ji Ning and the others who were kneeling on the side were more and more surprised at Di Ke's boldness. Even Lu Dongbin and other Pure Yang Immortals who were originally looking at the sloppy Immortal looked at Di Ke with some surprise. However, Emperor Xia and the Red Dragon Venerable who was looking at Di Ke with a satisfied smile on his face looked at Di Ke with the same smile. They didn't seem angry at all and directly asked Ji Ning and the others to stand up.

After all the geniuses stood up, Emperor Xia smiled and said, "You have passed the test of the Moonlight Landscape World and passed this most basic screening. Next, I will arrange for you ninety-six people to fight one-on-one. The loser will be eliminated and the winner will stay."

"Ninety-six people, after one round of duels, forty-eight people are left. These forty-eight people have all deliberately obtained an immortal-level magic weapon," Emperor Xia's voice resounded throughout the hall, shocking the immortals below. Immortal-level magic weapons? So many were given at once? Emperor Xia was too generous this time! "Forty-eight people, after two rounds of duels, twelve people are left. These twelve people can each get 10 million kilograms of Yuanye," Emperor Xia continued calmly, and Ji Ning and others held their breath and envied.

Emperor Xia continued calmly, "After two more rounds of duels among the twelve, the remaining three can go to the treasury of my Great Xia capital and choose any magical power or secret technique!"

Not to mention the shock and jealousy of the immortals, even the immortal princes of the Xia Mang clan of the Great Xia royal family changed their expressions. The royal capital treasury was the foundation of the Xia Mang clan. They could choose any magical skill. How could the strongest magical skill of the Xia Mang clan be easily passed on to others?
"And by Master's order," Emperor Xia continued solemnly, "Master will select one of the last three to become his registered disciple. After breaking through and becoming a celestial being, he can become Master's personal disciple."

As soon as these words were spoken, even Lu Dongbin and other gods and immortals became serious. The immortals and Ji Ning and others in the hall were even more stunned.

Even Dicko pretended to be surprised and his eyes narrowed slightly, but he soon calmed down. Seeing this, the Red Dragon Venerable who had been paying attention to him raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up. He admired him more and more in his heart: "This boy's character is really amazing!"

The duel began soon. Emperor Xia immediately set up a forbidden formation above the clouds outside the palace and announced the first opponents. They were Cangwu Jiu from the Cangwu clan and Qi Long from the Wanshou Sect.

Di Ke, Bai Yan, Ji Ning, La Ti and Yu Wei, who were not fighting for the time being, were called over by Prince Yan and sat behind Prince Yan together with Lord Xiyue.

The others also went to some of the celestial ancestors of their sects and tribes, or to the celestial ancestors who had some connection with them, and began to wait and watch the battle silently. At the same time, they also learned about the identity of Emperor Xia's master, Chi Ming Daozu, and their hearts suddenly became more and more excited.

Above the clouds outside the hall, battles were going on. Every battle was extremely brutal and almost all of them were fought to the death. This also made Dicko, who was watching the battles relatively calmly, sigh in his heart that the appeal of this Taoist disciple was indeed powerful.

Sloppy, Bai Yan, Yu Wei, and Ji Ning all made moves one after another, and even Bai Yan won by chance. It was Yu Wei who lost. Before they knew it, it was the last game, and it was finally Di Ke's turn to play.

This battle also gave a shock to the people who were visually fatigued after watching many games. But in the end, naturally, Di Ke won easily. After all, Emperor Xia would definitely not let the strong ones fight each other in the first round. He would definitely arrange the top ones like Di Ke and Ji Ning to eliminate the weaker ones first.

But the second round was much more exciting. Those who could be given a lower-grade magical weapon by Emperor Xia were naturally not weak. But for Di Ke, it was also not challenging and he won easily. However, Bai Yan was also easily defeated by his opponent in this round.

In this round and the third round of fighting, some low-key and powerful people began to show their true strength. The twelve people who were finally decided were Di Ke, Xia Mang Zishan, Cang Wu Jiu, Ji Ning, Sloppy Master, Shao Yanxuan, Master Mu Zhen, Master Hei Shi, Master Jiu Si, Master Jin Wu, Master Gui Yuan, and Master Qian Yi.
