Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 767: Chapter 655: Yue Country Grand Tournament

Shen Xuan stared at Tang Roulan.

He clearly saw that Tang Roulan’s cheeks instantly turned red.

Not because she was shy.

But because she felt guilty.

"Senior Brother Shen, if you don’t like it, I can switch with you. I drew number seven hundred seventy-eight myself."

The earlier the number, the sooner you get on stage.

It can be quite disadvantageous when you’re unaware of your opponent’s strength.

And this number isn’t just for the first round.

It’s the same for the subsequent rounds.

Three thousand numbers.

Tang Roulan managed to draw number eight.

It must be said, her luck is truly incredible.

"Number eight is pretty good."

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

Finish early, return to the inn for rest sooner.

Do opponents matter to him?

Not at all.

Even if the judges on the platform are True Pill Realm True Masters.

He is fearless.

After refining the True Fire Gourd.

The Celestial Thunderfire, Solar True Fire, and Scarlet Cloud Primordial Fire gradually merged with his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

Shen Xuan estimated that the early True Pill Realm couldn’t withstand the dominant true fire released by the True Fire Gourd.

As for these Foundation Establishment cultivators.

No matter who the opponent is, they can’t resist him.

The True Fire Gourd is utterly unnecessary.

Tang Roulan was unaware of Shen Xuan’s strength.

She still felt a bit guilty.

"Senior Brother Shen, should I find someone to switch with you?"

"No need."

Shen Xuan said lightly.

"I like number eight."

As the two of them spoke, suddenly someone exclaimed.

It turned out it was disciples from the Xuanfa Sect, Miaoyin Sect, and Yueyun Sect, entering the square in neat order.

The disciples of these three Nascent Soul sects were clearly superior in overall strength compared to the other ten Golden Core sects.

In fact, the quota for each Secret Realm typically ends up in the hands of disciples from these three Nascent Soul sects.

Shen Xuan unexpectedly saw a few familiar faces.

The Foundation Establishment disciples from Fire Island’s Fire Cloud Sect.

Zhong Sumin and Chen Xingyu were walking at the front of this group.

At this moment, a loud Dao sound rang out.

"Quiet!"

"The contest for Secret Realm quotas is about to begin with the first round."

After all, they were sect disciples.

Three thousand people shut their mouths.

The whole square began to quiet down.

Everyone unconsciously looked towards the chairman seats above the arena.

There sat the Sect Leaders of Yue Country’s thirteen sects.

Thirteen Golden Core True Masters!

Besides the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs who usually remain hidden.

These thirteen Golden Core True Masters wield the highest power in Yue Country.

In the crowd.

Shen Xuan also looked at the thirteen Golden Core True Masters at the chairman seats.

Though he didn’t use Divine Sense to scan.

He could tell that True Master Zhengfa from Xuanfa Sect, Spirit Music Immortal from Miaoyin Sect, and True Master Qing Xi from Yueyun Sect clearly had better positions and stronger auras than the other ten Sect Leaders.

True Master Zhengfa sat at the very center of the chairman seats, with Spirit Music Immortal and True Master Qing Xi on his left and right.

The Sect Leader of the major sect sat towards the right, ranking third from the bottom based on seniority.

Traditionally, Xuan Fa True Master speaks for Yue Country’s thirteen sects.

"Esteemed ones, sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Spirit Stream Secret Realm will soon open. This is a grand event for the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Yue Country, and a great fortune for you Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Within the Secret Realm, there are enormous opportunities, as well as great dangers. Today’s contest for quotas is not about personal vendettas, but rather about opportunity. Remember, on the platform, do your best, displaying the resolution of cultivators seeking the Dao, and proving the profound inheritance of your sects. However, exercise restraint; nurturing a kind heart is also a refinement of your Dao heart."

Xuan Fa True Master used the Divine Soul Dao Sound.

The sound was not loud but clearly entered everyone’s ears.

His speech was not long.

After a hundred or so breaths, it concluded.

Yet it thoroughly ignited the fighting spirit within each participating disciple.

Below the platform, countless eyes turned fiery, and battle intent surged like a tide.

These three thousand sect disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm were the elite among the cultivators of Yue Country.

Unsurprisingly.

The majority of Yue Country’s True Masters will emerge from among these three thousand people.

"Everyone, now I announce that the contest for Secret Realm quotas officially begins!"

A True Pill Realm True Master from Xuanfa Sect, along with other sect True Pill True Masters, hosted the contest.

"The rules for the first round are simple. Starting from number one, when your number is called, come to the platform. You must defeat the three Tier Two Puppet Beasts on stage to advance. Otherwise, you will be eliminated."

Soon, the Xuanfa Sect True Master began calling names.

"Platform number one, Li Chengqi."

"Platform number two, Xiong Dali."

...

"Platform number eight, Shen Ruocheng."

The voice of the Xuanfa Sect True Master continued, and the participants, upon hearing their names, either smiled wryly, remained serious, showed solemnity, or laughed, and slowly walked onto the platform.

Shen Xuan walked onto platform number eight with a blank expression.

Opposite him, three Puppet Beasts formed a pin position, surrounding him.

"Ten breaths later, the technique begins!"

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

When the count reached "one."

The Dao patterns on the surface of the three Puppet Beasts suddenly lit up.

Their eyes gleamed with brilliance.

Immediately afterwards, the three Puppet Beasts simultaneously lunged at Shen Xuan.

They were extremely fast, transforming into countless afterimages.

Their claws were sharp, their fangs sinister.

Space tore, emitting a piercing shriek.

However.

Shen Xuan held the Fiery Light Flame Saber.

The saber light flashed.

A scarlet saber light formed an arc.

The three Puppet Beasts retained their lunging postures toward Shen Xuan.

However, all three Puppet Beasts were slashed in half in mid-air.

Then, they erupted into roaring flames and helplessly fell onto the platform.

"Hiss!"

Seeing Shen Xuan’s display, many below the platform gasped.

The True Pill Realm True Master serving as a judge slightly furrowed his brows when he glanced at Shen Xuan.

Too fierce.

In merely a breath’s time, these three Tier Two Puppet Beasts were dispatched just like that.
