The Power of the Stars Descends
"Announce the rankings!"
As the countdown ended, the mysterious voice immediately began announcing everyone's rankings!
"First place!"
As the mysterious whispers were read, Fu Qianqiu's array plate was suddenly drawn by a mysterious force.
It detached itself from his hands and flew into the air.
Ultimately, it disappeared into the virtual universe, its whereabouts unknown.
This also means that Fu Qianqiu has ultimately emerged victorious in this formation competition!
Although Mu Anqing's resentment remained, the fact was that she could only accept the outcome.
As the mysterious whisper called out 'Second Place,' Mu Anqing's array plate also flew into the depths of the universe.
Then came the third place, the fourth place, and so on, until the seventeenth place.
Everyone understood that only the eighteen people present had passed the first two tests and were advancing to the third test!
At the same time, everyone realized the benefits of ranking high in the first two rounds, just like Fu Qianqiu and Mu Anqing.
Because of their earlier rankings, the two had significantly more time to optimize their formations after entering the third stage.
A negative example is Yi Xuan!
Despite being the last to enter, he still wasted a lot of time on the conflict with Mu Anqing.
Judging from the state of the array plate in Yi Xuan's hand, everyone could basically conclude that Yi Xuan was probably the only loser in this round.
Everyone else's array plates were able to attract some Power of the Stars, but Yi Xuan's had no reaction at all.
Sure enough, after the seventeenth place was announced, the mysterious voice did not announce the eighteenth place.
This proved that Yi Xuan didn't even qualify for the reward, which made the dozen or so people who came in fourth place and below look much better.
At least compared to this, even if they didn't get the best reward, they were still better off than Yi Xuan, who got nothing at all.
After a long silence, just as everyone was starting to get impatient, the mysterious whisper finally reappeared.
"Top three, ascend to Immortal Ascension Platform!"
Along with the whispers, there was also a stone platform in the very center.
There was nothing there originally; the stone platform appeared out of thin air.
Even the moment the stone platform appeared, those standing in the middle were pushed aside.
However, the seventeen people were staring intently at the stone platform.
Because Yi Xuan was sitting cross-legged in the center of the stone platform with his eyes closed.
The stone platform clearly pushed the others outside, but it had no effect on Yi Xuan whatsoever.
The seventeen people looked at each other, completely bewildered as to why this had happened.
The third-place finisher spoke up, saying, "Since Whisper is letting the top three in, let's go in! He doesn't even have a ranking; even if he's on the platform, the Tomb of the Sea God probably won't pay him any attention!"
Mu Anqing nodded in deep agreement after hearing the man's words and walked directly onto the stone platform.
Although Fu Qianqiu was very worried about Yi Xuan, there was nothing he could do, so he went up to the high platform and came to Yi Xuan's side.
They were prepared to do everything in their power to protect Yi Xuan should an unexpected situation arise.
Seeing that the first two had already gone up, the third person also prepared to go up.
But as soon as his foot touched the edge of the stone platform, he felt a tremendous repulsive force acting on him.
To others, the moment the man stepped onto the stone platform, he was instantly sent flying backward, as if he had been attacked.
Fortunately, the repulsive force was not meant to hurt anyone, and the person quickly stood up and tried again, refusing to believe it.
The same backward flight, the same posture, the same force, the same angle.
But the man's face was quite a sight to behold at that moment.
What's going on?
Wasn't the top three supposed to go on stage?
Why can't I climb out of third place?
Could it be that kid in the middle of the stone platform?
The man immediately pinpointed the cause to Yi Xuan, and then stood outside the stone platform shouting frantically at Yi Xuan.
Unfortunately, Yi Xuan was completely absorbed in calculating the formation and had no idea what was happening outside.
As he calculated, the formation layout in his mind became clearer and clearer, and the speed at which the formation plate in his hand changed also increased.
The trajectories of the 108 stars were finally fully integrated into the formation through the collaborative calculations of No. 01 and Yi Xuan.
Under the influence of Yi Xuan's Divine Sense needles, the array plate in his hand was completed with its final stroke.
"Boom!"
As Yi Xuan's formation was finally completed, a loud bang suddenly resounded throughout the space.
Immediately afterwards, as if by an earthquake, the space began to shake violently.
Even the celestial bodies of the virtual universe began to become chaotic under this tremor.
"Snap! Snap!"
The sound of something breaking came from above them.
Before anyone could look up, a blinding white light appeared above them.
The Power of the Stars, an intense Power of the Stars, actually shattered this space and descended directly above everyone.
At the same time, the virtual universe in space seemed to sense something, and suddenly a suction force appeared, directly drawing in the Power of the Stars above.
Nearly fifteen minutes later, the Power of the Stars above their heads completely disappeared.
Yi Xuan opened his eyes and stared intently at the virtual universe in the space.
In his opinion, the virtual universe did indeed look appalling when he first entered.
But now, among those unsightly stars, there have appeared 108 that are completely different from the others.
A closer look reveals that the trajectories of these 108 stars actually conform very well to celestial kinematics.
Everyone present was confused about what had happened. How could someone who didn't even have a ranking suddenly make such a big fuss?
What they didn't know was that the arrival of the Power of the Stars had just caused a great upheaval in the entire Cultivation Realm.
In the very center of the Central Continent, a young man stood before a thatched hut, gazing at the Power of the Stars falling into the Eternal Sea and muttering to himself.
"The Tomb of the Sea God? Ha, I wonder what happened there! It's a pity that none of the descendants of the Sea Clan are any good; a bunch of frogs in a well!"
Meanwhile, in the far west of the continent, an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom was preaching in a magnificent golden palace.
Just as those below were listening with rapt attention, the old man suddenly fell silent, then stared intently in the direction of the Eternal Sea.
Those below, not understanding what was going on, could only watch and observe along with the old man.
In the Sea Emperor City, many Sea Clan emperors witnessed the Power of the Stars descending upon the Tomb of the Sea God.
The emperors' Divine Sense instantly spread across the entire sky above the Sea Emperor City, and they began to converse incessantly with each other.
Who went this time?
"Looks like we've found some promising talents!"
"Oh, what a pity! I should have known better than to wait until next time!"
"Ha, I think you're just a coward!"
At the same time, almost all the experts in the Cultivation Realm sensed the arrival of the Power of the Stars, but their reactions were all different.
