#707 - Tongtian Conference
Immortal Capital of Illusion Shattering.
Inside a massive pavilion, Qin Qiyan, cloaked in a black robe and with a bamboo hat pulled low, slowly sipped from his wine glass, his divine sense subtly monitoring the conversations of those around him.
“The Celestial Assembly is less than ten years away. Have you decided whether or not to participate?”
“The once-every-hundred-thousand-year Celestial Assembly? With my strength, going would be suicide! I’m not going!”
“Alas, you still have the privilege of choice. I have no choice at all. I’ve already been added to the list. There’s no escaping it. I can only take a gamble!”
“You were chosen? Alas, there’s no way around it. But with your cultivation, you might have a chance. As long as you can fight your way through and survive to the end, you might catch the eye of an Immortal Emperor or even an Immortal Emperor! That would be a meteoric rise!”
“Heh heh, not to mention those who were forcibly selected, but all those who actively request to participate are geniuses from various immortal domains. If I can just survive, I’ll thank the heavens and the earth!”
“Good luck to you. Consider this drink today as our brothers’ farewell to you. Go back and cultivate in seclusion. Improve as much as you can before the assembly begins!”
“……”
Listening to the conversations around him, Qin Qiyan’s expression subtly changed. Combining the information from everyone, he finally understood what this so-called Celestial Assembly was all about.
In fact, this Celestial Assembly was also related to the Five Sages.
Back then, the Five Sages competed fiercely, resulting in the deaths of countless immortals, ultimately forming the current balanced situation.
The power of the Five Sages caused all immortals to tremble and submit, willingly gathering resources from all over the world and continuously transporting them to them.
When the Five Sages had just divided their territories, conflicts were still unavoidable, and they often escalated, from the Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals of the Middle Three Heavens to the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors of the Upper Three Heavens, causing the Five Sages endless trouble.
Later, for the sake of stability among the immortals, they and the other four Sages used their celestial power to create a floating continent for all the immortals to resolve disputes and settle chaos, which is now the Immortal Island of Li Sha.
It was precisely because of this move that the mutual attacks between the Five Sages were quelled, and later it gradually evolved into the current Celestial Assembly with reward incentives.
In fact, smart people understand that this is just a means for the Five Sages to consume the immortals of the immortal realm. After all, the cultivation resources of the immortal realm are limited, while the number of immortals is constantly increasing, especially after the Five Sages settled down, the chaos decreased, and the lifespan of immortals is extremely long.
The increase in population means a decrease in resources, so some means are needed to solve it.
The purpose of this Celestial Assembly is, first, to consume the number of immortals, and second, to select geniuses to provide fresh blood for the Five Sages.
Being able to stand out from thousands of immortals and survive to the end, whether in talent, temperament, or combat experience, is definitely a genius among geniuses. All the immortal treasures they obtain on the immortal island belong to them, including the spoils of killing others. If they are lucky, they may even have the opportunity to be selected by the Immortal Emperor as a disciple!
However, because the mortality rate of this Celestial Assembly is too high, even if the rewards are extremely generous, few people are willing to die in vain.
“Cultivation limited to below Celestial Immortal, each immortal domain sends out a hundred people…”
Qin Qiyan stroked his chin and pondered.
He had been in the Middle Three Heavens for some time and had a general understanding of the distribution of power here.
The Middle Three Heavens has three thousand immortal domains, each controlled by one or more Immortal Emperors.
Each immortal domain sends out a hundred people, so the number definitely exceeds three hundred thousand, not counting those who actively participate.
Three hundred thousand immortals fight each other, and only one thousand survive in the end, which shows how bloody and brutal it is.
“This is a bit interesting…”
Qin Qiyan’s eyes gradually brightened.
“You little brat wouldn’t be thinking of participating, would you?”
The voice of the Azure Blue Immortal King sounded in Qin Qiyan’s mind, solemnly saying: “I know about this Celestial Assembly. Even I didn’t dare to participate back then. You are only a High Immortal now. Competing with a group of Celestial Immortals is simply courting death. It’s better to cultivate honestly!”
Qin Qiyan said excitedly: “Master, there are nearly ten years before the Celestial Assembly begins. I have a high probability of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm. As long as I enter the Earth Immortal realm, with the immortal treasures and spirit fire given by my father, even if it is a high-level Earth Immortal, I will have the power to fight!”
The Azure Blue Immortal King knew that his disciple was always arrogant and somewhat impulsive, and earnestly persuaded him: “One Earth Immortal can’t hold you, but what if a group of Earth Immortals come? The brutality of that Celestial Assembly is beyond your imagination! Qiyan, although you are a genius, don’t underestimate the immortals of the world. Maybe there are geniuses hidden among them that you don’t know about. Honest growth is the right way!”
Qin Qiyan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded: “Don’t worry, let’s see! Anyway, there are still ten years. I’ll go inquire about the situation of that ‘Senior Brother’ first!”
Seeing that Qin Qiyan no longer insisted, the Azure Blue Immortal King breathed a sigh of relief.
He had presided over several Celestial Assemblies in the past and deeply understood the bloodiness of this assembly, so naturally he didn’t want his disciple to get involved in it.
At the same time.
Peng Demon Monster Domain.
Inside a magnificent palace, a woman in purple robes sat on it, with a young man standing below with his head bowed.
This woman in purple robes was exactly Zong Ming, the Peng Demon Emperor who killed the White Bone King, and that young man was naturally Qin Qipeng.
At this moment, Qin Qipeng, with the rich resources and his own unremitting efforts in cultivation, had already reached the seventh level of the High Immortal, and his strength was even sweeping his peers, unmatched.
“Peng’er, the Celestial Assembly is about to begin. Are you willing to participate?”
Zong Ming had a smile on the corner of her mouth, obviously extremely satisfied with this junior she brought back: “The Celestial Assembly is certainly dangerous, but it is also a good opportunity for you to train. And with your qualifications, if you can stand out from it, you may have the opportunity to be appreciated by the Demon Saint. At that time, you will definitely soar into the sky, and our Kunpeng clan may be able to use this to overwhelm the Dragon clan!”
After a pause, Zong Ming said again: “If you are unwilling, I will not force it. After all, this Celestial Assembly is indeed dangerous. Even I back then may not have been sure of surviving to the end.”
Qin Qipeng already knew the meaning and rules of the Celestial Assembly at this moment, and nodded without hesitation: “This junior is willing to participate!”
Just as Zong Ming said, the Celestial Assembly is an extremely important opportunity for him to train. Since accepting Zong Ji’s bloodline, Qin Qipeng seems to have been affected to some extent. He does not reject fighting and competition. After all, the Kunpeng clan is like this in their bones.
As for danger?
With his father and the alliance leader behind him, what is there to fear?
Moreover, Qin Qipeng also wanted to take this opportunity to make the Qin family famous and let the immortals of the immortal realm see how powerful the Qin family is!
The smile on Zong Ming’s face was even stronger, and she nodded: “You really didn’t disappoint me. You have the spirit of Ji’er. You don’t have to worry. This time, our Kunpeng clan will also send ten clansmen to accompany you. Together with the other demon clans in the Peng Demon Monster Domain, you will not have too many problems if you unite!”
With that, Zong Ming flicked out a drop of golden liquid: “This is a drop of my essence blood. After activation, it can greatly increase the power of your Kunpeng secret technique. If you encounter a fatal threat, don’t hesitate, life is the first priority!”
“Yes!”
Qin Qipeng solemnly took it.
