Since Wu Guike imprisoned Yun Che, he certainly didn’t want to kill him. He took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little. He tried his best to suppress the urge to cut Yun Che into pieces, and said gloomily: "If I agree to your conditions... How can you guarantee that the Mysterious Shadow Stone will never appear in the world again!"
At this point, even though he was extremely angry and extremely aggrieved, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
It was indeed as Yun Che said. Although being killed by him once was a huge shame, it did not affect his advancement to the second round of preliminaries, nor would it affect the subsequent competitions. In the end, there was no loss at all.
However, if Yun Che really leaked the Mysterious Shadow Stone, the consequences would be something he absolutely could not afford.
Why did another Black Shadow Stone appear? Could it be that the one I exchanged for the Nine-Star Buddha Jade was actually swapped by the Sirius Star God at some point? No! After I got the Black Shadow Stone, I specially explored it. Then there is only one possibility left...
Back then, the Sirius God engraved two identical Mysterious Shadow Stones at the same time!
As for why it ended up in Yun Che's hands, Wu Guike was so confused that he had no time to think about it.
“I can’t guarantee that.” Yun Che said without hesitation.
"you……"
“Master Wu,” Yun Che said with a smile, “If I say that I will destroy the Mysterious Shadow Stone immediately after the transaction is completed, will you believe it? I will not be so stupid as to hand it over to you, because that would be sending my own life. On the contrary, I will keep it firmly in case it accidentally falls into the hands of others, or you, Master Wu.”
“But you can rest assured.” Yun Che said slowly, “I, Yun Che, have no grudges against you, Master Wu, in the past, nor in the present, and we don’t have any deep hatred. I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure today. As long as Master Wu doesn’t cause me trouble in the future, I will never risk my life to fight you to the death. Maybe I am more afraid of it being leaked than you, Master Wu, am I not?”
Click.
With a crisp sound, Wu Guike actually broke the bones of his right fingers.
Yun Che's words can be said in another way: You have to believe it whether you believe it or not! You want to do something, but I will not hand over my bargaining chips. Not only will you not be able to settle the score later, but you may even be able to use it to coerce me again in the future.
What the hell is this!
Time will not stop, and the first round of preliminaries may end at any time. Yun Che was even more anxious and impatient than Wu Guike, but his face and eyes were calm, and his words were sometimes strong and sometimes slow, sometimes soft and sometimes hard, pressing step by step, and showing weakness at the right time...
He has put all his efforts into making this deal with Wu Guike happen.
“Master Wu, you’d better make a decision quickly.” Yun Che said slowly, seemingly nonchalantly, “The preliminaries may end in the next breath. By then, there will be no chance!”
The last sentence was pronounced with a sudden emphasis, striking Wu Guike's heart and soul.
“Okay… okay!” Wu Guike’s face was as red as blood, and his scalp was throbbing wildly. All the anger and frustration he had experienced in his life could not compare to this moment: “I admit defeat!”
“However, Yun Che… you better remember this, you’d better take good care of that Mysterious Shadow Stone as if it were your own father. If one day it gets leaked out… even if you escape to the edge of chaos, I will make you regret coming into this world!”
“Congratulations, Master Wu, for making the right choice.” Yun Che smiled faintly: “Then let’s get started.”
Snap!
Another finger was broken by Wu Guike, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He took a few deep breaths again, using all his rationality to swallow the endless resentment and humiliation.
Bang!
With a slight explosion, the aura that blocked Yun Che suddenly dissipated. Then, although Wu Guike said nothing, the profound energy in his body began to converge rapidly, until the last of the protective profound energy was completely withdrawn.
But his whole body was shaking constantly, and every blue vein was bulging.
Wu Guike's admission of defeat and his current state also ignited Yun Che's inner ecstasy. His palms were also trembling slightly. He calmly came behind Wu Guike, condensed his profound energy, and suddenly attacked, fiercely hitting Wu Guike's back.
Boom! !
Under normal circumstances, Yun Che would not have been able to hurt Wu Guike. But with all his profound strength put away for defense, how could he withstand Yun Che's full-strength attack with just his physical body? Amid a huge roar, Wu Guike was blown directly from the back to the front of his chest, his flesh and blood and internal organs flying everywhere, his entire body breaking into two in mid-air, flying extremely far before rolling to the ground.
"Don't... let me... see... you... again..."
The front half of Wu Guike's body made a resentful and hoarse sound, and then disappeared in a white light.
At the same time, another beam of white light suddenly descended from the sky and landed on Yun Che's body, causing the number of his soul beads to increase rapidly, until it reached 1.95 million before finally stopping.
Yun Che’s ranking in the ninth battlefield also soared from the last position in the entire battlefield to fourth place in one step… He was only less than 100,000 soul beads away from the third place.
Wu Guike's soul orb count plummeted to 1.95 million, but he still ranked first in the ninth battlefield.
Yun Che used his mind to materialize the ranking list of the Ninth Battlefield. Looking at his name on the list, he smiled with satisfaction. The coldness and heaviness that had previously filled his chest completely disappeared.
Fate played a cruel joke on him, but he found another door.
“After all, there is always a way out.” Yun Che smiled and said softly.
Although Wu Guike was of noble status, extremely talented, and had amazing cultivation, he was extremely arrogant, had bad behavior, and even had an affair with his own aunt. Yun Che despised him very much.
But now, in Yun Che's eyes, Wu Guike was simply an angel sent by God to save him!
Princess Caizhi could never have imagined that the two Mysterious Shadow Stones that she had thrown to Yun Che as a prank would actually save him from a desperate situation at this moment.
Even under the butterfly effect, it changed Yun Che's life trajectory, as well as... the fate of the entire God Realm.
——————————
Inside the Eternal Sky Pearl, the Shenwu Sect is located.
"Master, something strange happened."
An old man bent down and knelt behind a middle-aged man, reporting to him: "Just now, Master Guike's ranking suddenly dropped sharply, and the number of soul beads also decreased by 30%."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man turned around. He was wearing a golden robe, his eyebrows were like stars and moons, and he had an imposing manner that easily made people respect him. If his identity was revealed, it would be enough to scare countless people in the God Realm to death.
The Great King of the Shenwu Realm, Wu Guike’s biological father - Wu Sanzun!
"So, Ke'er actually failed once? Haha, that's interesting too." Wu Sanzun was neither surprised nor angry, but rather interested.
"In the battlefield where Young Master Gui Ke is, there should be no one who can match him, not even those who can barely rival him. I think that Young Master must have accidentally fallen into a fatal natural disaster, or encountered an extremely high-level mysterious beast." The old man analyzed calmly.
"That's fine." Wu Sanzun said calmly, "Although Ke'er is talented, his life has been too smooth and he is too arrogant. A setback will do him good and no harm. There is no difference between the first and the ten thousandth place in the preliminary rankings. Don't mind it."
"I think so too." The old man bowed again and said, "Since that's the case, please have a rest, Master. I'll take my leave."
Wu Guike's ranking and soul beads dropped suddenly, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. After all, Wu Guike was previously ranked in the top 20. It was hard for people not to notice his name suddenly disappearing.
But it was just a notice. Everyone would have thought that he must have failed once. As for how... even the Shenwu Sect didn't care, let alone others.
After all, this was only the first round of preliminary selection. As Wu Sanzun said, there was no difference between the first place and the ten thousandth place.
However, all the mystics in the Ninth Battlefield could clearly see that a completely unfamiliar name suddenly fell from the sky and landed in fourth place, and his total number of soul beads was, by an extremely coincidental coincidence, exactly equal to the number of soul beads reduced by Wu Guike.
In the main city of the Ninth Battlefield, Xiao Mo stared in amazement at the "Yun Che" that suddenly appeared on the list. Before he could come to his senses, a white light suddenly fell not far in front of him, and soon a golden figure was thrown out. With a sweep of his mind, the name "Wu Guike" appeared clearly.
"Yun...Che..." Wu Guike muttered resentfully, his face sometimes scarlet, sometimes dark, and the aura in his body was so chaotic that it seemed to be boiling.
Xiao Mo stared blankly at Wu Guike for a while, then heard him shout out the word "Yun Che". He then stared at Yun Che's name on the list, as well as the number of soul beads that the two of them transformed at the same time...
After a long while, he raised his head and stammered, "It seems that some kind of dirty PY deal must have happened."
Boom——
The space shook, the clouds rolled, and the voice of the Eternal Heaven finally sounded, announcing the end of the first round of preliminaries: "Young strong men, the battlefield that belongs to you will come to an end for the time being. The first round of preliminaries ends at this moment. The top ten in each battlefield will continue to stay in the battlefield, and the others will leave the battlefield. Your true bodies will appear in front of the major teleportation arrays outside the Eternal Heaven Realm. I hope that this fierce battle that has poured all your profound energy and will into it can become a treasure that benefits your life."
Clang!!
Along with the majestic sound of the universe, white light that blocked out the sun and sky fell from the sky and enveloped everyone.
In the white light, the projections scattered across the battlefield, whether they were humans or mysterious beasts, all disappeared quickly as if they were dissolved. The fierce battle that had lasted for a whole month finally came to an end at this moment... However, it was not for everyone.
Because there are still 10,000 projections of mystics that have not disappeared, existing intact on the battlefield, waiting for the next fierce battle to come.
This was the winner who emerged from the more than 50 million top profound practitioners in the Eastern Divine Region. Every one of them was undoubtedly a peerless genius that was worthy of the world's attention. And the victory of these 10,000 people was accompanied by the tragic elimination of more than 50 million profound practitioners.
The projection disappeared, and when they woke up, they were already outside the Eternal Heaven Realm. Under their feet was the light curtain they stepped on when approaching the Eternal Heaven Realm. Not far away was the teleportation formation that could return them to their star realm.
The eliminated candidates will naturally not receive much attention from the world, as all eyes are firmly focused on the new battlefield which is destined to be even more intense.
The fierce fighting sound disappeared, even the roar of the mysterious beasts completely disappeared, and the entire battlefield was silent. After confirming that he was still in the battlefield, Yun Che completely calmed down. He had been a little worried just now. After all, this was a projection completed by the Eternal Heaven Pearl. There might be extremely strict and fair rules. His behavior might be judged as cheating, and there was a possibility that he would be disqualified...
It seems that I was worrying completely on the groundless ground.
“Finally, I can enter the Eternal Heaven Realm. I’m ranked in the top ten thousand in the entire Eastern Divine Region…” Yun Che laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly. After all, he had obtained this through despicable means. “At least, I’m qualified to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, right?”
As soon as he finished talking to himself, the voice of Eternal Heaven sounded again in the sky:
"To the young warriors who are still on the battlefield, you have proven yourselves with your strength and will. There is no doubt that you are the pride of the Eastern Divine Region and the future of the Eastern Divine Region. However, only a thousand people can enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl and obtain the qualification to train in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm for three thousand years."
"And what follows is the battle that will decide the fate of these 1,000 people!"
Under this voice of Eternal Heaven, all the profound practitioners who remained on the battlefield were filled with passion. Outside the battlefield, those profound practitioners who were eliminated and those who were not qualified to participate in the Profound God Conference were also madly envious, jealous, and eager in their hearts.
After three thousand years of cultivation in the Eternal Heaven Pearl, this was the first time in the history of the entire Eastern Divine Region that a mysterious practitioner could ascend to heaven from a "childhood" stage! This was a gift that any mysterious practitioner who had even the slightest pursuit of the mysterious way could not resist!
In order to get such an opportunity, they will not hesitate to get hurt, spare no expense, even if it means their life span is cut in half!
"Next, you will be sent to the same battlefield. This battlefield has no natural disasters, no mysterious beasts, and nothing else to disturb you. There is only the only safe main city and a battlefield that belongs only to you. The rules will be reset, but it will be exactly the same as the previous battlefield. The soul beads you hold will also be brought intact into the new battlefield."
Yun Che was listening quietly, but he was definitely not as tense as the others. On the contrary, he felt relaxed, which he had not felt in a long time.
However, the voice of Zhou Tian that followed made his face suddenly stiffen, and he almost cursed out loud.
"Only one thousand people can win in the new battlefield. These one thousand chosen ones will be sent to the Eternal Heaven God Realm for the final decisive battle. After the decisive battle, they will enter the Eternal Heaven God Realm that will change your fate in the next three years. The other nine thousand people will be eliminated from the battlefield, and their true bodies will also be expelled from the Eternal Heaven God Realm."
