Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 489 Tu Ming
Seeing that all the cultivators had arrived, Qingyangzi didn't waste any words.

He waved his sleeves and the sound spread in all directions.

"Hello fellow Taoists. Today is the last day of the conference."

"The top ten will be decided. In addition, Fairy Bingyan will also select her ideal partner and make them into a pair of Taoist companions."

Qingyangzi had spoken.

Among the next twenty people who had reached the third level, many of them looked eager to try.

Although there were many twists and turns in this level of Futu Island.

There was suspected cheating in the first level, the Ladder of Inquiry; yesterday in the second level, the Hundred Trees Cave, fifty people participated, but only twenty came out, and the remaining thirty were either injured or disabled, or even eaten by the prisoner monsters. It was quite bloody.

Some people even wondered if Futu Island had lost face, so it adjusted the Hundred Trees Cave formation?

Strengthen the prisoners and suppress the players?

There were many more rumors that night, especially from those forces whose players were injured or disabled after entering the cave. Don't expect them to say anything good.

Fortunately, there is only one last level left, and the competition will be face to face in the arena in front of all the practitioners as witnesses. This is relatively the fairest and most authentic level.

Twenty challengers.

Such as Yin Hongshuai Jianjin, Long Bing and Nangong Wanba are the geniuses of the eight sects.

Haiyan Sect Commander Bufan would steal glances at Cheng Bingyan from time to time, with a smile on his face.

It’s difficult for him as a super second generation!
My father is the leader of the sect, and our sect is a huge one that uses divine treasures to suppress destiny.

Shuai Bufan drew a line for his Taoist partner.

The Taoist partner he chooses must be a human woman with spiritual roots who is of equal status and looks like him, and whose cultivation level must be at least above the Golden Core level.

As it is, in the vast East China Sea, there are really few women who are worthy of me.

The Evil God Temple and the King Snake Palace are all sea monsters, so there is no hope; the Lord of the Void Valley and the Lord of the Sea Eye Sect either have no daughters, or their daughters are all mortal bodies.

He was extremely surprised when he saw Cheng Bingyan a few days ago.

This woman is as talented as me (well-matched in social status) and as beautiful as me (equally beautiful), isn't she the Taoist partner of my dreams? Therefore, he looked quite anxious.

Cheng Bingyan is still present with Fu Tu's Four Yuanying today.

She felt a fiery gaze coming from below, staring at her.

Cheng Bingyan took the time to look back and almost got her nose crooked with anger.

I saw that the genius of the Sea Eye Sect was extraordinary and handsome.

He had broom-shaped eyebrows, puffy eyes, a strawberry nose, a wide square mouth and a pair of protruding ears. He was extremely ugly. The bastard kept making eyes at him.

She felt sick and could only lower her head and pretend not to see it.

Except for Shuai Bufan who is a bit showy, most of the people who are preparing to challenge the level actually have no interest in Cheng Bingyan.

The real identity of "Prince Long Bing" is the eldest princess of the Wangshe Palace, and she focuses most of her energy on Prince Hong He.

It doesn't matter whether I can marry Cheng Bingyan for my second brother, as long as I don't let Prince Hong succeed. It would be best if I can defeat this beast head-on.

Prince Honghe sensed his hostile gaze, and turned his head nonchalantly to look directly at "Prince Long Bing", grinning ferociously with his teeth bared and a murderous look in his eyes.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

The deep sea is huge, but it cannot accommodate the two major forces of the Evil God Temple and the King Snake Palace.

This time, the Evil God Temple and the King Snake Palace have the same plan of proposing to marry Cheng Bingyan. They both hope to form an alliance with one of the five major factions of the East China Sea human race so that they can support each other in the future.

If the alliance fails, it is also necessary to disrupt the other party's arrangements.

If I can't get it, you can't want it either - the two companies' plans are highly consistent.

Yin Yiji closed his eyes and rested. Any noise outside had nothing to do with him. He was devoted to seeking the truth.

A Taoist companion is not the Tao, so it doesn’t matter to him.

It's just that the master asked him to come here and make a splash, so he came.

What is Cheng Bingyan? She is just an excuse to attend the meeting.

The master said that Void Valley and Futu Island have always been on good terms, and that old man Futu Zhenren is very good at networking, and he will definitely marry his daughter off for a good price and make friends with the new force.

In other words, Cheng Bingyan’s Taoist partner will definitely not be him.

Therefore, he only cares about who his opponent in the ring is.

Among the four, except Shuai Bufan, the other three had no interest in Cheng Bingyan.

Among the four super sects, the four major sects are respected.

Jian Qiuyi loves swords as his wife, so how can he tolerate a woman coming to take his place as his wife?

I'm here just to make a name for myself.

Nangong Xing's eyes were somewhat heated, he had just become the leader of Nanliu Sect, and the people below were not convinced, if he could become the Taoist partner of the fairy Cheng Bingyan of Futu Island, it would help him to stabilize his position.

But his close relationship with Futu Island might become an excuse for the elders to attack him for being spineless and allowing the sect to be infiltrated by Futu Island.

So he is still weighing the pros and cons.

King Jin closed his eyes. Like Jian Qiuyi, he concentrated all his energy and blood into the cauldron, cultivating a wheel of golden essence.

How can women have fun with magic weapons?

He just wanted to know which one was sharper, his own Wheel of Golden Essence or Jian Qiuyi's Qiuyi Sword?
Wan Caiyi of Haishamen didn't care about Cheng Bingyan. The reason he came this time was because the other three sects were coming, so he had to come as well.

Besides, he didn't like Cheng Bingyan.

It’s not that Cheng Bingyan was implicated by Ren Zeping in the Bilangjiao scandal two years ago. The two of them just have a close relationship. If they want to become Taoist couples, they need to return to the island and perform a ceremony in front of Master Futu.

He looked down on the girl and simply thought that Cheng Bingyan was not as pretty as himself.

Wan Caiyi usually wears flowery clothes with a white foundation and is good at performing the Nine-turn Opera. Who doesn't know that he is the most handsome man in the East China Sea?
What's the point of finding a Taoist partner if he's not as beautiful as you?

Among the four superstars and the four great geniuses, except Shuai Bufan, none of them were attracted to Cheng Bingyan.

They were more concerned about the fact that the ranking in the arena must not bring disgrace upon the sect’s reputation.

The remaining five Nascent Soul masters and seven Golden Core masters came from other forces, and each of them was feeling much more anxious.

According to the rules of Futu Island, the ranking of the competition is the ranking, but in the end, Fairy Cheng Bingyan - or Master Futu - does not choose the right person based on the ranking alone, but also on personal liking.

Maybe I have that destiny?

Of course, for the sake of fate, the ranking cannot be bad.

Master Futu couldn't possibly choose a loser who had been losing repeatedly in the ring competition, right?

Twenty people, each with their own thoughts.

Off the court.

There seem to be more people on the leaves today than on the first and second days.

There are many independent cultivators who live far away and cannot make it to the first two days of the challenge, but they insist on flying over to see the results of the last day.

Baicao Jushi.Zhen.Baidao Mowang looked up at the sky and frowned.

"One day. No, more than half a day actually."

"How do we determine the winner among these twenty people? How do we rank them?"

Master Wang smiled.

"Don't be impatient, Futu Island will definitely arrange everything."

After a drink last night, he firmly believed that the story of the Ladder of Inquiry must be a rumor spread by hostile forces. After some self-persuasion, he stood more firmly with Futu Island.

After all, his island is in the Futu Sea and cannot be moved. It has long been intertwined with Futu Island in terms of prosperity and decline.

"Everyone..." Qing Yangzi coughed a few times, "Time is urgent today."

"If twenty people compete one by one, there won't be enough time."

"Therefore, new rules will be adopted for today's competition."

"So and so..."

Qing Yangzi introduced the rules in detail.

In order to speed up the progress, no rotation system is adopted.

Each contestant is given a jade stick with the names of the other 19 people on it. If you are confident, just cross out all the names of the 19 people and you will get 19 points.

Or you may think that you are just a Jindan cultivator, and you cannot afford to offend the thirteen Yuanying cultivators in front of you, but you can still challenge the remaining six Jindan cultivators. In this way, you can only paint the names of the six Jindan opponents and get six points.

Therefore, the first round is actually a test of your own and your opponent's strength.

Those with strong confidence will naturally mark all nineteen names and take nineteen points in an invincible manner.

Of course, this confidence may be wrong, and that doesn’t matter.

After all, the geniuses don’t have much else but confidence.

What if a bunch of them get 19 points?
Simple, enter the second round and see who’s the best.

If both sides erase each other's name, they will fight. The winner will get one point and the loser will lose one point.

Then he would fight them one by one, defeating all the bastards who dared to erase his name, and take back every point.

Of course, if you feel you can’t beat the opponent, then don’t challenge him, otherwise you will lose a point in vain and your ranking will drop.

This requires you to make adjustments at any time based on whether your opponent is injured and your own condition.

Finally, just look at the final points.

There is a certain element of luck involved here, which is the importance of choosing your opponent and having a clear understanding of your own strength.

If you can avoid those super strong players and continue to score points against opponents of similar strength to you, you may be able to get a good ranking in the end.

Of course, in the end, strength prevails over everything.

If you have the power to sweep away all enemies, you don't need to make any calculations, you just need to suppress all disobedience.

It was the first time for all the cultivators to hear such a rule, and they all began to ponder it.

Mr. Baicao was a little disappointed.

"What? If everyone is afraid of Prince Hong He, and no one dares to erase his name in the first round, he will directly take first place?"

Mr. Wang smiled awkwardly.

“Isn’t this because there is not enough time?”

Lu Ye laughed.

"It's a skill to be able to scare others!"

"Actually, it's better this way. Jindan won't challenge Yuanying, and ordinary Yuanying won't go crazy to fight super strong. Super strong will mostly fight super strong."

"It really saves time, and we also enjoy watching it."

"Those little cultivators who are building their foundation and cultivating their Qi can watch how the great Golden Core cultivators fight. We can then try to understand how the Nascent Soul cultivators fight and each get what we need."

The Nascent Souls were fighting each other, and the spiritual consciousness of those little cultivators could not catch it at all. It all looked like an afterimage, so it was useless to watch.

After the twenty people who were preparing to pass the level heard Qingyangzi's explanation of the rules, some frowned and thought hard, some had bright eyes, and some were as rebellious as Hong and the Prince, who didn't think at all.

Qingyangzi did not forget to give some instructions at the end.

"Also, everyone, please pay attention."

"Once the competition starts, there will be no time to rest and recharge. Everyone, be prepared for continuous fierce fighting."

"If you have no questions..." He waved his sleeves and twenty jade sticks flew out of his sleeves. In the air, they became about half a palm wide and three feet long, and fell into the hands of the twenty challengers below.

"Please consider carefully. One stick of incense is the limit!"

"After you make your selection, the Dongming Mirror will randomly select a combination."

"Everyone, don't forget that today's competition is actually a round-robin match."

"Remember, remember!"

The Iron Swordsman, Cloud Piercer and Du Wan performed a technique together. They took out golden rings from their storage rings and threw them into the air.

"Everyone, this competition will be held in the sky. There is a two hundred-foot area divided into two sections, so please do not enter the competition."

After a moment, ten long golden lines appeared in the air, marking the boundary.

In addition, the branches and leaves that supported everyone rumbled up into the sky, and finally spread out in the core of the tree canopy, spreading like a mushroom head.

The third level.

The sky is the battlefield, where the monks can show off their prowess and compete for supremacy.

The twenty strong men who had passed the first two levels had already begun to input magic power into the jade sticks.

Prince Honghe was the most arrogant. He used his magic power to erase all the names except his own. After he let go, the jade sign flew into the air and fell into Qingyangzi's hands.

Later, the rest of the people had also chosen their lots, and they returned to Qingyangzi like birds returning to their nests.

Qing Yangzi looked down and smiled.

"it is good!"

"Please all Taoist friends be witnesses!"

A bright mirror flew out of his sleeve and slowly rose into the air, with twenty jade sticks lined up inside it.

The first name of the lottery is the real name of the contestant, which is green, and the remaining names are the names of the 19 opponents, which are black. If they are erased, they become red names.

But the one ranked first was Hong He Taizi's green name tag. The names of the 19 opponents under his name all turned red. He was indeed arrogant. The green name tag showed 19 points on the mirror.

The second one, Yin Yijia, was a ruthless man who didn't talk much, but he also marked all his opponents in red and scored 19 points.

Shuai Bufan signed his name, he wiped out everyone, but avoided Honghe Prince, not wanting to be his enemy, and got eighteen points.

Prince Long Bing signed, which was the opposite of Yin Yijia's choice. She avoided Yin Yijia, but eliminated Prince Hong He. The two princes had to fight, and she also got 18 points.

The remaining four geniuses.

Jian Qiuyi wanted to fight with Yin Yijia and avoid fighting with Prince Hong and got 18 points.

King Jin avoided fighting with Prince Honghe and Yin Yijia and scored seventeen points.

After careful consideration, Nangong Xing avoided the battle with Hong Yin, Jian Jin and the other four and scored 15 points.

Wan Caiyi was the most direct. Apart from choosing to fight with Nangong Xing, he avoided fighting with the other six geniuses and only got thirteen points.

As for the remaining Nascent Soul and Golden Core powerhouses, they directly avoided the eight geniuses, and most of them scored between 11 and 7 points.

When the cultivators off the field saw this, they began to talk and whisper to each other.

The rules of Futu Island are convenient, but they are difficult for the strong men on the stage. They have to defeat their enemies and guard against being picked up and scored by other enemies.

After a while.

The field gradually became quiet.

Qingyangzi said loudly.

"Everyone, please look at the result in the mirror!"

The practitioners looked up and saw more than twenty names rotating in the mirror.

Mr. Baicao spoke to Lu Ye stealthily through telepathy.

"Do you believe it or not?"

"It would be strange if Futu Island didn't intervene."

"What do you mean by random combination? I think the first match will most likely be between Prince Hong He and Prince Long Bing!"

"Futu Island is hoping that the two will fight to the death!"

Lu Ye responded with a smile without saying anything - coincidentally, he thought so too.

It only took a dozen breaths.

The mirror left information about the battles between two people.

Prince Hong He versus Prince Long Bing.

Yin Yijia plays against Shuai Bufan.

Jian Qiuyi versus Jin Tianwang.

Nangong Xing versus Wan Caiyi.

The remaining few columns of names are not important. There are also lucky Yuanying and Jindan who are given a bye because no one will fight against them.
