A few days later, the official preparations for the Mansion Competition began.
The Mansion Competition of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty has always been a grand event.
During each Mansion Competition, power shifts, with some rising, some falling, some becoming new entrants, and some withdrawing. This is not only a matter for the people of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, but also a matter for other forces to bet on.
Therefore, coinciding with the Mansion Competition, almost all the geniuses and powerful figures of the entire Divine Dynasty, as well as some people from other regions, gathered in the imperial city of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
The restaurants were all packed.
Everywhere you look, people are talking about the Mansion Competition.
There were even shrewd henchmen employed by the casino, setting up betting booths everywhere, all betting on who would be the winner of this year's Mansion Competition and who the dark horse would be.
For a time, it was bustling with activity.
All sorts of rumors are flying around.
It's not that a prodigy from a certain prince's mansion suddenly appears and is guaranteed to achieve great results.
This means that the young master of a certain prince's mansion, who had been deposed, seized fortuitous opportunity and successfully turned the tables.
Some people even sent Spirit Stone to the casino, betting on which prodigy would emerge as a dark horse in this Mansion Competition.
The once desolate and cold imperial city suddenly became noisy and bustling.
However, everyone is also very clear about it.
This Mansion Competition not only determined the rankings of the Sixteen Princes' Mansions, their position, honor, and even their life and death for the next hundred years, but also the contest between the eldest princess and the Eldest Imperial Prince.
even...
ending!
After all, whoever wins this Mansion Competition will have greater accumulated strength and more substantial resources, and will have the upper hand in this struggle.
Countless forces that chose to remain neutral and observe will make their own choices in this Mansion Competition.
Only the victor reigns supreme.
Rather than calling this Mansion Competition, it would be more accurate to describe it as an arena where two forces showcased their strength and capabilities.
Its importance is second only to seizing the last divine dynasty's succession, and is even closely related to it.
The loser is destined to be ineligible for the throne of the divine dynasty.
Not only that, but they could also very likely lose their lives.
after all...
The victor will not allow an ambitious loser to continue to act arrogantly on their turf.
so.
This Mansion Competition Mansion Competition was not only being watched by the Sixteen Princes' Mansions, but also by countless discerning eyes throughout the entire Divine Dynasty, who were also keeping a close eye on the outcome.
This is a crossroads that will determine the fate of countless forces in the future.
Under these circumstances, many powerful figures from the Taiyu Divine Dynasty acted simultaneously, joining forces to set up an array. They made the arena north of the imperial city the Mansion Competition the competition. The Senluo Grand Array was majestic and powerful, enough for the Saint Realm experts to use, and also cut off any secret persecution from other forces with ulterior motives.
over time.
People from the Sixteen Princes' Mansions, including their most outstanding talents, gradually gathered from the Sixteen Princes' Mansions directions.
Since the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion was weak, they naturally arrived early.
Standing in the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Palace, the True Spirit Mansion Master appeared slightly nervous, his brows furrowed slightly as he took deep breaths and regulated his breathing rhythm.
Although he had joined the princess's household and no longer needed to worry about his life or death, he still cared a great deal about his ranking in this Mansion Competition.
After all, if the True Spirit Prince's Mansion were to fall out of the top sixteen and lose its title, then even with the princess's protection, they would not be able to hold their heads high.
It will take another century to regain the title.
Moreover, and most importantly, this Mansion Competition is almost entirely related to the future direction of the entire Divine Dynasty. If the princess's side loses, the fate of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion will likely be even worse than if it had fallen out of the top Sixteen Princes' Mansions.
So he can't lose!
We can only win!
Not far from him, Lin Xuan remained completely calm.
after all...
He was determined to win.
The Great Saint is not easy to defeat.
But Lin Xuan asked himself honestly, and he didn't think he would have any rivals before he turned fifty.
At the very least, it's impossible for it to exist in this Eastern Continent.
Unless, in the Eastern Continent, a prodigy even more terrifying than the Vast Sea Saint King emerges, directly ascending to the rank of Great Saint in his forties.
In contrast to Lin Xuan's composure, a short-sleeved boy standing not far from him appeared exceptionally excited.
He held his sword, his face full of excitement, as if he couldn't wait Mansion Competition the competition to begin so he could go up and show off his skills.
This person was none other than the young man who had been instructed by Lin Xuan but chose to speak arrogantly.
He clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes darting towards the distant Forgotten River Prince's Mansion's Mansion, trying to find someone he recognized.
The boy pondered silently.
I already inquired about it.
All the senior brothers will definitely be present for this year's Mansion Competition, including Senior Wang Xiao...
Senior Wang will definitely give it his all!
Finally, I get to witness Senior Wang's Sword Dao!
That could be a prodigy from Sword Ruins. He has cultivated the Sword Dao since childhood and has longed for Sword Ruins, a holy land for sword cultivators, since he was young.
He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. His eyes darted around and swept to the side, where he saw Lin Xuan with a calm expression.
Suddenly, a look of disgust and rejection flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph... It seems anyone can participate in the Mansion Competition." Xia Huanchao muttered sarcastically, "Some people will probably never get to participate in such a grand event in their entire lives. They should take this opportunity to see what true Sword Dao is all about! Otherwise, they'll remain ignorant and narrow-minded for the rest of their lives!"
Lin Xuan ignored the other party.
He already knew the boy's true identity after leaving the training ground that day.
Xia Huanchao, the youngest son of the True Spirit Mansion Master, was born to one of the True Spirit Mansion Master's most beloved concubines, and was only sixteen years old.
He doesn't have the time to argue right and wrong with such a young child.
Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't respond, Xia Huanchao's expression became even more indignant. He glared at Lin Xuan's back before reluctantly turning his gaze back to the field.
The minor incident at the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion did not affect anyone else.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Mansion Competition the Sixteen Princes' Mansions mansions officially began!
"The first match... Zhou Qiao of the Profound Radiance Prince's Estate versus Chu Nanyue of the Great Prosperity Prince's Estate!"
As soon as the names were called out, the hall fell silent for a moment, and then erupted in uproar.
"Did I hear that right? It really is Zhou Qiao fighting Chu Nanyue?"
"My God, they actually scheduled these two to face off in the very first match! This is way too much!"
Are Zhou Qiao and Chu Nanyue very famous?
"You're obviously not from our Taiyu Divine Dynasty! Zhou Qiao and Chu Nanyue are renowned geniuses of our Taiyu Divine Dynasty, their strength is evenly matched, and... most importantly, the Profound Radiance Prince's Estate and the Great Prosperity Prince's Estate belong to the princess and the Eldest Imperial Prince respectively! Tsk tsk!"
"Hiss..."
This was a result that surprised everyone.
Many people thought that such outstanding talents were reserved for the very end.
I didn't expect the first game to be so exciting!
In an instant, the atmosphere throughout the entire Mansion Competition was ignited!
