Chapter 378 The Kiss of the Life Goddess
The Heavenly Origin Tournament, once one of the most prestigious events in the cultivation world, was a martial arts competition open to any Cultivators under the age of forty. The final round would attract the attention of all the well-known organizations and Lineage in the cultivation world, and even the few Ascended Expert.
It can be said that those who can stand out in the Heavenly Origin Tournament are all super geniuses with unlimited potential, and will receive unimaginable attention and resources.
However, for unknown reasons, the Heavenly Origin Tournament has not been held for more than ten years. This time, a joint announcement by the Yuan Cultivation Society of Zhendan, the Holy See of Xiluo, and the United Supernatural Ability Company of the Federation indicates that this grand event will be held again next May!
This news was mentioned by Dong Huicheng several months ago when Luo Jun was still in the Savage Wilderness. At that time, it was just a rumor, but now it has finally been confirmed.
There are still six months until the official start of the conference. These six months are reserved for the majority of Cultivators to register and Preliminary Selection.
According to the rules released by the official information, registration for the Heavenly Origin Tournament begins immediately. All Vital Energy Cultivator, regardless of whether they have previously registered with any official organization, can register to participate as long as they are willing to provide accurate information.
There are many ways to register. According to the rules, there will be 64 contestants in the final competition. Half of these spots are reserved for Rogue Cultivator from all over the world. Anyone can register. After the Preliminary Selection, the 32 strongest individuals will be chosen to occupy these spots.
As for the remaining thirty-two spots, they will be allocated and selected by various organizations, Lineage, and schools. Different organizations have different methods for determining the candidates. Some may simply hold internal competitions to determine the strongest contestant, while others may determine the candidates based on ability, contributions, or even Lineage lineage, etc. These are beyond the control of the organizers.
Some might feel that this method of selection is unfair. However, those who fail to qualify within the various organizations are not completely disqualified. They can still participate in the Preliminary Selection process in the general public and compete with Rogue Cultivator for the remaining thirty-two spots. Therefore, as long as you are strong enough, even if you fail in the competition within an organization, you still have a chance to participate in the grand event.
In fact, because the Preliminary Selection does not impose any restrictions on the qualifications or conditions of the contestants, many scions of official organizations and Aristocratic Clan families will try to squeeze into the Preliminary Selection slots after failing in the internal competition. The reason why Rogue Cultivator are Rogue Cultivator is that they do not have the resource support of large organizations and can only explore their cultivation on their own. Naturally, the level of most Rogue Cultivator is not as good as that of regular cultivators.
In any industry or technology, once it develops to a certain level and reaches a certain scale, it will naturally create barriers or even thresholds for ordinary people. The idea that there are hidden masters among ordinary people usually only exists during the period of unregulated development of an industry.
The same applies to Vital Energy Cultivation. Based on past experience, out of the thirty-two Preliminary Selection slots, fewer than five independent Rogue Cultivator will actually be chosen.
But such cruelty also means that only the truly strong can stand out!
As for the venue, as is customary, this year's Heavenly Origin Tournament will be held on Heavenly Origin Island in the East Ocean.
It is a small island in the middle of the ocean, more than 3,000 kilometers away from the nearest mainland. The nearest land is an archipelago 1,200 kilometers away, making it arguably the most isolated island in the world.
The competition venue was chosen here not because of its unique geographical location, but because there is a "gate" on Heavenly Origin Island!
[Heaven]
The smallest Different World that humanity has ever explored.
All the other worlds are actually just like the Main World, with vast lands and boundless starry skies, seemingly possessing infinite space.
But only [Heaven], this wondrous world whose gates open on the world's most isolated island, is a place with clearly defined boundaries.
It was a spherical space with a diameter of less than a thousand kilometers. At the very center of this space floated a floating island with an area of about one hundred kilometers, which people called the Sky City.
This is the venue for the Heavenly Origin Tournament. [Heaven] is not only the smallest Different World, but also the Different World with the longest opening interval and the slowest pollution.
Tests have shown that the Gate of Heavenly Kingdom only opens once a year, lasting for a month each time, and the rate of contamination within is incredibly slow. An experiment was conducted where someone entered with sufficient supplies, and even after the gates reopened a year later, the area remained uncontaminated. However, unable to bear the solitude, they chose not to continue the challenge.
"A martial arts tournament from Different World...?"
Looking at the rules described in the post, Luo Jun didn't have any particular thoughts about this Heavenly Origin Tournament.
Under forty years old? That already excludes all Ascension Expert; even at the Peak, very few can participate.
Luo Jun wasn't bragging. With his current level, he hadn't yet met Ling Yao, the Number One Under Ascension Transformation realm, but he didn't really take ordinary Peak seriously.
This is still him now. If, six months from now, he has reached the Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Layer and begun his attempt to break through to the Heart Refining Realm, his strength will be far superior to what he is today. A competition without Feather Transformation is really not much of a challenge.
Ultimately, it's still a talent competition for Rookie King among various organizations... Those who ultimately take the top spots will definitely be a few young, Peak Expert —geniuses who already have clear affiliations and are renowned throughout the world. What's truly worth paying attention to are those rookies who don't rank very well, but have potential and no connections; they are the ones that various organizations are trying to recruit.
As for Luo Jun, he now has a clear goal: to achieve the power of the Ascension-level!
Power, organization, and relationships are all issues that mortals need to consider. As long as one possesses the strongest power in the world, everything else is just fleeting!
Luo Jun snorted coldly, disdainful of the logic behind the Heavenly Origin Tournament. His finger mechanically scrolled down, quickly reaching the bottom of the notice, which contained information about the tournament rewards.
"Hmm?" Luo Jun suddenly pressed his finger on the screen, his eyes fixed on the text.
