Chapter 408: The Drawing of Lots Ceremony

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two days later.

In the early morning, the atmosphere in the entire Lanjiang City had already reached its peak.

The spacious streets could be said to be filled with people. All kinds of cultivators dressed in their own sect’s uniform were marching in the same direction in unison.

Located in the center of Lanjiang City, the famous arena, Lanjiang Fighting Arena, was even famous on the entire Eastern Continent.

Led by Tong Shan and Tang Conglin, Gu Xi and the others had already arrived at the arena early in the morning, waiting for the competition to begin.

This was the place where the Grand Sect Competition would be held. The Lanjiang Fighting Arena was spacious enough to accommodate nearly 100,000 people at the same time. At this moment, there were no empty seats in the stands. As far as the eye could see, it was crowded with people.

The noise soared into the sky, and even the white clouds above were forcefully dispersed.

In the arena, the originally large arena had been divided into smaller arenas. There were around 20 to 30 of them. 20 to 30 matches could be held at the same time. This way, it would greatly save time for the competition. After all, there were quite a number of sects participating in the Grand Sect Competition.

In addition, a high platform was set up somewhere in the grandstand. There were already many people sitting on the high platform, and these were the judges selected from the various sects. At the top of the grandstand, there was a magnificent ring-shaped room. From there, one could see the interior of the entire arena from a god-like perspective, and could also clearly see the battles on each platform.

These were all prepared for wealthy businessmen or cultivators with powerful backgrounds. In short, those who could sit in these rooms were definitely not mediocre people.

“I didn’t expect there to be such a place in the arena.”

At this moment, Gu Xi was in a room at the top of the grandstand, looking down at the sea of people below. His voice was somewhat surprised.

“Our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will naturally not mistreat our own disciples that are participating in the competition.” On the side, Tong Shan chuckled.

As the number one Chamber of Commerce in the world, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would naturally receive such top-notch treatment.

On the contrary, Hou Yu was rather disdainful of Gu Xi’s performance. He looked at the latter as if he was looking at a country bumpkin. His expression was filled with disdain, but he was also very tactful and did not make any mocking remarks. After all, today was the day of the qualifiers. Although he was extremely disgusted with Gu Xi and the others, he did not want to be disqualified at the qualifiers before he could even show his skills.

“Everyone, welcome, fellow participants from thousands of miles away. Welcome to the Grand Sect Competition.”

On the high platform below, an old voice came from afar.

Under the cover of vast spiritual power, this voice had spread across the entire arena in the blink of an eye and echoed in everyone’s ears.

“What a terrifying cultivation.” Looking in the direction of the voice, Gu Xi narrowed his eyes, feeling astonished.

The person who spoke was an old man dressed in white. The old man’s temples were also somewhat white, but what was surprising was that his skin looked very radiant, forming a huge contrast with his age. It left a deep impression on people with just a glance.

“This is the former Sect Master of the Qiankun Sect, Jiang Li. It is said that the highest level of the body-refining spirit skill that he cultivates can change the structure of his skin to become like glass, invulnerable to blades and spears. That is why he is in his current state.”

As if sensing Gu Xi’s surprise, Tong Shan explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Xi nodded slightly, but the surprise in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

There were very few cultivators who cultivated their physical bodies in this world. He did not expect Jiang Li to be able to cultivate a body-refining spirit skill to perfection at such a young age.

More importantly, this guy was from the Qiankun Sect!

Now that he returned to the Eastern Continent to participate in this year’s Grand Sect Competition, the Qiankun Sect was one of the targets of Gu Xi’s revenge!

‘I did not expect that the Qiankun Sect would have such a strong person here. It seems that it will be somewhat difficult to kill the disciples of the Qiankun Sect during the competition…’ Gu Xi thought to herself as she looked at Jiang Li, who was speaking in a formal manner.

However, it made sense. No matter which sect it was, those who were able to participate in the competition were the most elite disciples of the sect. Naturally, they needed powerful cultivators from the sect to protect them.

“The drawing ceremony is about to begin.” Tang Conglin suddenly spoke, pulling Gu Xi back to reality from his thoughts.

Gu Xi looked down at the high platform again. Jiang Li had finished his speech, and at this moment, a vacuum circle formed by spiritual power appeared in front of him.

As far as the eye could see, a large number of jade pieces were being stirred continuously. As time passed, the speed of the stirring of the jade pieces became faster and faster.

Gu Xi stared at the jade slip in the middle, wanting to see what was carved on it clearly. However, due to the increasing speed, he had no choice but to give up in the end.

Tong Shan’s sharp senses caught Gu Xi’s gaze. With a smile, he said, “This jade slip is engraved with the names of the disciples from the various sects participating in the qualifying competition this time. This is also the method of drawing lots for the qualifying competition. Whichever sect is drawn, the next opponent for the qualifying competition will be the sect on the jade slip.”

“No wonder luck is also a part of strength. If some weaker sects meet the stronger sects in the competition…” Gu Xi nodded in realization.

“That’s right. Similar situations have happened in the past. Some of the middle-ranked sects encountered sects whose strength was not on the same level, causing them to miss out on the competition. Some of the weaker sects advanced smoothly. If the number of sects participating in the competition was an odd number, there would be a situation where the first round would be empty. It would be counted as passing the competition.”

Tang Conglin spoke faintly, but his eyes were fixed on the jade pieces dancing in the ball of light without blinking.

Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but smacked his lips.

The first round was empty. This kind of luck was too much.

“I wonder if we will have this kind of luck?” Gu Xi softly opened his mouth. His gaze also landed on the cluster of light below.

Soon after, the rapidly rotating cluster of light suddenly stopped at a certain moment. Immediately, the entire cluster of light began to expand at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it exploded.

There was no huge explosion as one could imagine. One could see numerous golden rays of light shooting in all directions at an extremely fast speed as the cluster of light exploded. Some of them landed on the viewing gallery, and some landed in the room above. At first glance, they looked as beautiful as fireworks.

At the same time, a stream of golden light flew over at an incredible speed.

Everyone in the room was breathing rapidly. They stared at the jade slip that was getting closer and closer, as if they were trying to see through it.

As the jade slip got closer, Tang Conglin opened his hand. A strong suction force came out from his palm and sucked the jade slip into his hand.

“How is it?” Tong Shan spoke softly, a little nervous.

Tang Conglin looked at the jade in his hand, and then showed it to the expectant crowd. “Ten Thousand Demons Valley, Zhou Nan.”
