Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing smiled proudly.
"They are the true foundation of our Ziwei Holy Land, guarding Qingming City."
"Each one of them is ranked on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, possessing the strength to be among the top one thousand in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield."
At this point, Xiao Jing looked at Tiancang and Hua Wuxiao, who were locked in a fierce battle on the arena.
"Those two should be your primary focus, Your Divine Son Hall. They are the other two Saint King Realm prodigies in Qingming City besides myself."
"The one wielding the sword is named Tiancang. He cultivates Saint Rank High Grade divine ability, the Nine Heaven-Opening Forms, and has comprehended eighty percent of the Saber Intent."
"The one who wields the sword is named Hua Wuxiao. He cultivates Saint Rank High Grade divine ability, the Thirteen Forms of Sword Dao Truth, and has also comprehended eighty percent of the Sword Intent."
"Both of them are at the First Level of the Saint King Realm, ranking among the top four hundred on the Heavenly Pride Ranking."
"After entering the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, this will be considered our second strongest fighting force."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining's expression became knowing.
"To be ranked among the top four hundred on the Heavenly Pride Ranking at the First Level of the Saint King Realm indicates that their strength is extremely high within their realm."
She had previously looked at the Heavenly Pride Ranking and found that, starting from around the 300th rank, there were already prodigies at the Second Level of the Saint King Realm.
Being ranked alongside Second Level of the Saint King Realm geniuses in the top 300 of the Heavenly Pride Ranking is enough to demonstrate their strength at the same level.
No wonder she felt that the two of them had a deeper understanding of the power of the conception than she had, and that they had grasped about 80% of the emotion.
A score of 70% is indeed much lower than a score of 80%.
While the two were talking, two Great Saint Realm prodigies had already been eliminated from the arena.
The second person to be eliminated looked extremely frustrated when they came out.
Gazing at the ring, he seemed eager to try, as if he wanted to go up and prove himself again.
He was clearly locked in a close battle with his opponent, and it looked like he was about to win.
Suddenly, a terrifying sword light flew in from somewhere nearby, not only interrupting his attack but also inflicting a wound on him.
His opponent seized the opportunity and unleashed a powerful move, eliminating him before he could react.
No matter how frustrated he felt, he knew he was ultimately eliminated; he wasn't a part of this Martial Emperor Secret Realm.
This is a free-for-all, where luck is also a part of skill.
He was unlucky, and he can't blame anyone else for it.
Ji Zining and Xiao Jing chatted idly while watching the fight in the arena.
Later, the competition reached its climax, with all sorts of supernatural abilities filling the entire arena.
If this happened outside, the entire Qingming City would be shaken.
The intensity of the fight made Ji Zining want to enter the arena and battle against those prodigies.
However, Ji Zining forcefully suppressed this feeling.
There will be plenty of opportunities to fight after we enter the Martial Emperor Secret Realm tomorrow.
Now is the time to compete for a spot in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, so we can't afford to act recklessly.
As a divine child, one must be more composed.
Half an hour later.
The fifth prodigy was teleported out of the spatial arena, signifying his elimination.
With his elimination, this chaotic battle came to an end.
Only five geniuses from the Heavenly Pride Ranking are needed to remain in Qingming City.
The eight prodigies still in the arena are the ultimate victors of this grand melee.
Tomorrow you will have the right to travel to the Martial Emperor Secret Realm.
Seeing this, Xiao Jing stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Ji Zining, and then went to the front of the arena.
"The free-for-all is over. Those still in the arena, prepare yourselves; we'll enter the Martial Emperor Secret Realm tomorrow."
After speaking, Xiao Jing looked at the five Heavenly Pride Ranking who had been eliminated and were healing their injuries.
With a wave of his hand, five jade bottles flew towards the five people.
"There are healing pills inside; taking them will allow you to recover from your injuries by tomorrow."
"Starting tomorrow, you'll be in charge of Qingming City. Being injured is unacceptable."
Upon seeing this, the five eliminated prodigies quickly caught the jade bottle, stood up, and respectfully bowed to Xiao Jing.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xiao Jing, without a smile, nodded slightly.
"The defense of the city is a matter that cannot be taken lightly. You should all focus on your recovery."
Inside the arena, the prodigies who were still fighting stopped when they heard Xiao Jing's voice.
Tiancang dispelled the sharpness of his broadsword and shook his head regretfully.
"Your skills have improved a lot, it's just a pity that the time was too short to determine a winner."
Hua Wuxiao sheathed his sword and smiled indifferently.
" Tiancang wants to continue the competition. Tomorrow, after entering the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, let's see who obtains more cultivation resources."
"What do you think, senior brother?"
Tiancang carried the broadsword on his back and smiled faintly.
"How could I, as your senior brother, dare to refuse my junior brother's request?"
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The other prodigies in the arena all showed joy.
If they can enter the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, then their strength will have the potential to improve rapidly.
After all, the Martial Emperor Secret Realm contains more than just the legacy of the Great Emperor.
Obtaining the inheritance of a Quasi-Emperor would also significantly boost one's strength.
At this moment, Xiao Jing raised his hand and closed up the space of the arena.
Seeing Tiancang and the others reappear in the square, Xiao Jing waved his hand.
"Go back and prepare. We'll set off for the secret realm first thing tomorrow morning."
The secret realm is located a thousand miles away from Qingming City. At their speed, they can arrive in a short while, so there's no need to rush.
Tiancang stepped forward and bowed slightly to Xiao Jing.
"Your Highness, will any other prodigies from other cities within the sect be coming this time?"
Xiao Jing nodded.
"They should already be on their way, but they won't come to Qingming City; they'll wait for them directly in the secret realm."
"When we reach the location of the secret realm, we will see them."
The Martial Emperor Secret Realm, which opens only once every hundred years, is naturally not limited to just these few people from the Ziwei Holy Land.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Wuxiao lit up with joy.
"Your Highness, will Mo Shang also be coming?"
Xiao Jing frowned upon hearing this.
"I sent a message to Mo Shang, but he didn't reply. He's probably in some secret realm."
"I don't know if I can come or not."
At this point, Xiao Jing glanced at the somewhat disappointed Hua Wuxiao and the others, and shook his head.
" Mo Shang can't come, but His Divine Son Hall will go with him. What, you're not happy that His Divine Son Hall is going with him?"
"Oh? Am I that unpopular with you?"
Just then, a teasing laugh came from the side.
Ji Zining approached with a smile and glanced at the many prodigies.
"Excellent. Tomorrow's Martial Emperor Secret Realm depends on you all."
