In an inn in the Southern Region.
This place is extremely close to the Southern Region Hidden Dao Academy.
Liu Ziru lived there.
At this moment, there was a phantom projection in front of him.
The projection was in the dark.
His entire body was shrouded in darkness.
Its face and figure were not discernible.
Only by vaguely discerning a person's outline can one confirm that someone is sitting in the darkness.
A voice came from the darkness.
"How's it going?"
Liu Ziru answered truthfully, "I refused."
"Oh?"
"You still refused after you mentioned the power of the Dark Domain?"
Liu Ziru nodded and said, "That's right, and the opponent's strength exceeded my expectations."
"Even if I go all out, he can easily defeat me. I have no power to resist him."
Therefore, the opponent's realm is at least one realm higher than mine, or more than one realm higher.
As Five-Star Deacon.
Liu Ziru's strength in the Dark Domain can be considered to be above average.
According to Liu Ziru.
The figure in the shadows said, "Then it can be confirmed that the rankings on the Dark Ranking this time are incorrect."
What are your thoughts?
"Should we send another Five-Star Deacon to help you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ziru shook his head and said with a wry smile, "From my observation, a person like him cannot be swayed by just two or three people."
"I plan to observe from outside for now and act accordingly."
The figure in the shadows seemed to nod. "In that case, we'll do as you say."
"However, this matter must be completed. The world is about to change drastically, and the landscape of the Dark Domain will also be altered as a result. We must win over those on the Dark Ranking as soon as possible."
Liu Ziru nodded and said, "I understand."
After saying that.
The projection in front of Liu Ziru disappeared.
Twenty days is nothing more than a Daoist meditating for a while.
Close your eyes, open them, and it will pass quickly.
Time flies like an arrow.
Boundless Realm.
Cloudrise City.
The words "Kunlun Heavenly Pool " once again appeared in the ears of the cultivators in Cloudrise City.
This is Kunlun Heavenly Pool.
It is Boundless Realm, a treasure land within the Kunlun Snow Mountain.
The Heavenly Lake is filled with water formed from the convergence of pure Spiritual Qi!
As long as one has not broken through to the Emperor Realm, one can enter the Kunlun Heavenly Pool to absorb the pure Spiritual Qi transformed into pool water for cultivation.
What's even more interesting is...
The deeper one dives into the Kunlun Heavenly Pool, the more solid one's foundation for cultivation becomes.
only.
To date, no one has been able to reach the deepest part of Kunlun Heavenly Pool.
There are rumors.
At the deepest part of Tianchi Lake lies a peerless divine object!
Further ahead, a powerful expert at the Dao Integration Realm wanted to enter Kunlun Heavenly Pool to see what it was all about.
However, they were rejected by Kunlun Heavenly Pool and were unable to enter!
This finally made those covetous cultivators give up their ideas.
Therefore...
Kunlun Heavenly Pool is a place that cultivators below the Emperor Realm dream of visiting!
but.
Such places naturally have limited quotas.
Only four slots were allocated to Cloudrise City.
To be fair
The three major Lineage of Cloudrise City, as well as the City Lord's Manor, will all send Lineage most talented members below the Emperor Realm to compete for a spot!
This will determine who gets these four spots!
In these sessions...
The City Lord's Manor always occupies two spots.
The remaining two spots are shared among the three major Lineage.
Of course, the Yang Lineage has failed to secure this spot for several years now.
This has led to the Yang Lineage's influence becoming increasingly strained in Cloudrise City.
The Yang Lineage's power is also gradually weakening!
now.
Inside the Yang Lineage's council hall.
Ye Qiubai and his two companions arrived as scheduled.
Yang Zhenhuai looked at the three of them and said with a smile, "Our Yang Lineage only has these three spots in the competition, so we'll give them all to you young friends to participate in."
Ye Qiubai smiled and looked at Yang Qi beside him, asking, "Isn't your son participating?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I know my own abilities. Even if I participate in the competition for spots, I'm unlikely to get one."
"Therefore, it would be better to give this competition spot to Brother Ye and your family. Perhaps it would even bring considerable prestige to our Yang Lineage!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai nodded.
Yang Zhenhuai also laughed and said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's set off."
The competition for the spots at Kunlun Heavenly Pool was held on the arena in the City Lord's Manor.
Originally, only the three major families and people from the City Lord's Manor would come to watch.
However, due to the involvement of Ye Qiubai and the other two.
This prompted the Mercenary Guild members to come and take a look.
After all, Ye Qiubai, Shi Sheng, and Xiao Hei are now a renowned newly formed mercenary group.
They wanted to see too.
Do these three individuals truly possess the exaggerated cross-border combat capabilities rumored to exist?
Luo Yun, from the Scale Armor Mercenary Group, naturally arrived here as well.
They saw Ye Qiubai and the other two arrive with Yang Zhenhuai.
Luo Yun chuckled with a sigh, "Back then, I thought they were just three greenhorns."
"Unexpectedly, in just over a month, he has already become a prominent figure in Cloudrise City."
He Lin, the leader of the Scale Armor Mercenary Group, nodded in agreement.
He accepted the escort mission at the beginning and took action twice during the mission.
He anticipated the enemy's moves and killed more than a dozen people at the Void God Realm in succession.
Cross-border operations to kill Half-Emperor who is qualified to challenge for the Emperor Realm.
Now, he has become a key figure in turning the tide in the dispute between the three major families of Cloudrise City.
This is one of the major events that have recently Cloudrise City.
The Cottage Mercenary Group can be found everywhere!
On the other side, the heads of the Kang Lineage and Li Lineage families also looked at the three people behind Yang Zhenhuai.
His expression was extremely complicated.
These three juniors completely disrupted the entire plan!
At the same time, I felt extremely sad.
The three spots for the Yang Lineage were all given to these three people.
Are we even letting those two families play together?
These three individuals, although they did not reach the Half-Emperor.
However, it possesses the strength to contend with Half-Emperor who are qualified to challenge for the Emperor Realm.
One of them is even capable of killing!
How are they supposed to play?
This time, I can only come here to make a cameo appearance...
There are four spots available.
But don't forget the City Lord's Manor...
The City Lord's Manor's Mansion is the true strongest force in Cloudrise City!
in.
I heard the news.
The son and daughter of the City Lord's Manor master have also returned from their cultivation journey with major inland powers to participate in this competition for spots.
so.
Those four spots are not going to either of their families...
It's just a formality now.
At this moment.
On the high platform.
A middle-aged man dressed in golden brocade robes appeared on it.
Yang Qi explained from the side, "This is Zheng Yong'an, the city lord of Cloudrise City."
"He is also the strongest being in Cloudrise City, a Late-Stage Emperor Realm expert!"
Ye Qiubai nodded.
At this moment.
Zheng Yong'an, standing on the high platform, announced the rules of the competition...
