Chapter 1471
"A grand gesture. If one were to fight His Majesty and suddenly be drawn into this world of mountains and rivers, one would likely be suppressed in every way."
After analyzing the situation, Chen Xuan transmitted his strategy to his five Daoist partners via divine sense. Piaoxue, Zhanxin, Yu'er, and the other two were somewhat surprised upon hearing Chen Xuan's strategy.
Originally, given Qing Tian Yu'er's personality, she would have immediately sought out competitors to vie for the Mountain and River Token after entering the Mountain and River World. However, Chen Xuan instructed them to find a secluded place to cultivate after entering.
Because Chen Xuan had already sensed that the spiritual energy within this world was incredibly abundant, comparable to a spirit-gathering array at the immortal level, based on his understanding of the Great Dao of Arrays, he speculated that His Majesty must also frequently cultivate in this world.
Secondly, in the early stages of entering the Mountain and River World, all parties are fighting and vying for each other's Mountain and River Tokens, which is extremely chaotic. It would be better to lie low for a while and wait for most of the mediocre Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to be eliminated before making a move to compete for the winners. By then, everyone will likely have more than one Mountain and River Token, which saves both time and effort.
Just as Chen Xuan was exchanging telepathic messages with his five Daoist companions, the auspicious clouds belonging to the feudal lords began to gather around His Majesty.
Once all the auspicious clouds around were arranged according to the order of the feudal lords, Beishan King Beishan Xiaolong immediately shouted, "The first round of selection for the Immortal Destiny Assembly shall now begin!"
The high-grade immortal magic treasure contains a spirit, whose intelligence is comparable to that of a human. After hearing Beishan Xiaolong's words, the world of mountains and rivers spread out in the sky rippled, and then beams of light suddenly descended, enveloping the millions of young cultivators below.
Subsequently, Chen Xuan and the other millions of people were like flies, swept into the world of mountains and rivers, randomly landing in the mountains, rivers and lakes of the world. The original ink painting scroll immediately showed black lines and small figures with heads and faces after the sudden influx of millions of people.
Their movements, jumps, even flights, battles, and so on, can all be clearly seen by the immortals watching from the outside.
Although this two-dimensional shadow puppet projection looks good, it is clearly not the effect His Majesty wanted.
His Majesty's heart stirred, and immediately the enormous map of mountains and rivers in the sky slowly descended to the ground, face up. At the same time, countless images, like fuses, appeared densely across the square spanning thousands of miles.
These millions of connecting threads represent every Nascent Soul Realm cultivator within the Mountain and River World.
"My esteemed ministers, if you wish to monitor the performance of your disciples and clansmen within the Mountain and River World, you only need to draw upon spiritual energy to zoom in and view them individually," His Majesty said with a smile as he watched the distant rogue immortals and earth immortals craning their necks to search for their own clansmen and disciples among millions of projected images.
Upon hearing this, many people gasped in astonishment. Was this a high-grade immortal-level magic weapon? Its support abilities were so heaven-defying?
Bai Li, who possessed the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion, was sitting next to the Dragon Breath Ancestor of Xuanqing Palace, close to his master and brother Qingtian Xiaolou. Upon hearing His Majesty's words, he immediately waved his hand and released several streams of spiritual energy.
Soon, the projections of Chen Xuan, Piao Xue, Zhan Xin, Zi Mo, Tian Xing, and Qing Tian Yu Er in the world of mountains and rivers magnified before them.
Of course, this situation is not unique to Bai Li.
The three thousand lords above the even larger auspicious clouds in the distance, as well as the immortals representing their sects under their rule, were all in the same boat. At such a grand gathering in front of His Majesty and the Ten Celestial Immortals, they all desperately hoped that their disciples and clansmen could have an amazing performance and be chosen as disciples by His Majesty and the other celestial immortals.
"Hmph, now you're scared? You think you can break through the encirclement and advance by cowering in one place?"
At this moment, Nalan Qingtian also had two projections of mountains and rivers in front of him, one of which was Nalan Mingyue, on whom the tribe placed great hopes.
At this moment, Nalan Mingyue immediately unleashed her extraordinary strength upon entering the world, slaughtering everyone around her. In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she had already killed eight or nine people and obtained nearly ten Mountain and River Tokens.
This scene brought a rare smile to Nalan Qingtian's face.
Looking at the other projection in front of them, the protagonist in this projection is dressed in white and has white hair. Who else could it be but Chen Xuan?
At this moment, Chen Xuan was enjoying fine wine and reading a book in a secluded cave in a mountain range, completely relaxed.
It seems that faced with such a rigorous and cruel selection process, as well as the pursuit and encirclement by the Nalan clan, they have given up and dare not confront it head-on.
Because the scene of Chen Xuan publicly confronting Nalan Tianxian that night was too shocking, many other feudal lords were now intentionally or unintentionally pulling up Chen Xuan's footage to watch.
However, upon seeing that Chen Xuan had actually backed down and only dared to hide in the crevices of the mountains and rivers in the Mountain and River World, they all shook their heads, clearly somewhat disappointed.
"Regardless of the circumstances, with the end of this Immortal Destiny Conference, your life, and that of your Daoist partner and friend, has come to an end." Nalan Qingtian didn't want to look at Chen Xuan again. With a wave of his hand, the image projection of Chen Xuan disappeared.
In their place were two brand-new projections, each containing a young boy and a young girl—two peerless prodigies from the quasi-sacred city of Nine Dragons.
If any of the younger generation in the lower-level cultivation star field hesitated even slightly when throwing out the Mountain and River Token or admitting defeat, they would be swiftly and decisively killed on the spot.
Judging from their indifferent expressions, it seemed as if they were not killing their own kind, but rather ants.
In such a short time, the two had each killed over a hundred people and obtained more than a hundred Mountain and River Tokens.
On the auspicious cloud, many Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals watched with grim expressions and remained silent after witnessing their disciples and tribal members being killed by the prodigies of Nine Dragons City.
There were over a million projected images, and these feudal lords, as well as His Majesty and the King of Beishan, were all focused on the top twenty on the Qing Ranking, their own disciples, and the leading figures of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird Four Stars.
As time passed, more and more mediocre Nascent Soul Realm cultivators either died or were eliminated.
In just about a year, 400,000 cultivators were moved out of the Mountain and River World by the Mountain and River Map. As for those who were slow to admit defeat, or those who were intentionally killed by their opponents, they were not given time to admit defeat and were killed directly.
Excluding the more than 400,000 who were moved out, nearly 80,000 to 90,000 cultivators died in the Mountain and River World alone.
Under the selection and elimination of the jungle law, the cultivators who are still qualified to remain in the world of mountains and rivers, even if they are not strong enough, have found a way to deal with it after a brief panic. They unite, either in small teams of a few people or teams of a hundred people, and make a heavenly oath to act together. Only in this way can they effectively resist the snatching by those powerful monsters of the same realm.
Those with great strength had already collected over a thousand Mountain and River Tokens. Some were in seclusion waiting for the selection to end, while others were traveling around sparring with renowned experts to hone their skills.
More often than not, they reluctantly join a team or form a joint squad. This is because the cultivators who are still in the Mountain and River World are forming alliances. Although they have collected enough Mountain and River Tokens, they are alone and may be besieged by a group of cultivators of similar strength. Therefore, they have no choice but to temporarily choose a relatively stronger team to join.
Time flies, and another six months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside a secluded mountain cave, Chen Xuan, the second primordial spirit, finally opened his eyes slowly after a year and a half of seclusion. He stood up, stretched his stiff body, and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
"The hunt begins."
