Yun Che descended from Feng Jue Peak and left the Phoenix Mountain Range. After thinking for a while, he returned directly to Shenhuang City and headed straight for Phoenix City.
Phoenix City is located in the southwest of Shenhuang City. It belongs to Shenhuang City, but exists independently. It is a special city within a city. Phoenix City, like Shenhuang Palace, is the core station of the Phoenix Sect. The difference is that one is the core of power and the other is the core of authority. Both have unparalleled deterrence.
In Phoenix City, there is a Phoenix Realm, which is where the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament has always been held.
As he approached Phoenix City, he was greeted by a palpitating sense of oppression and the obviously scorching air. Above the tall city gate was a huge and majestic phoenix. Yun Che stopped and did not go in. Although as a participant in the war, he should have been arranged to stay there, but his identity was special. If he stayed here, there would be many uncertainties. He came here just to scout the place. After confirming the location of Phoenix City, he turned around and left, then quickly changed his appearance and checked into a remote and quiet inn.
There are only three days left before the Seven Nations Qualifying Tournament begins.
Three days were enough for him to refine the Tianxuan Qiankun Pill.
After entering the inn, observing the surrounding environment and closing the door, Yun Che took out materials such as Phoenix Sunflower and Demon Burning Blood Crystal, and quickly refined them with the Sky Poison Pearl. Soon, a red pill that looked like it had just been soaked in blood appeared in Yun Che's palm. As the pill took shape, a violent aura was released, violently expelling the surrounding air.
Yun Che picked up the newly refined Tianxuan Qiankun Pill and threw it into his mouth without hesitation without a second thought.
The Tianxuan Qiankun Pill melted in his mouth, and instantly turned into a magma-like hot current that flowed into the Xuanmai and the meridians around his body. Suddenly, a tingling sensation like a needle pricked his whole body. Yun Che closed his eyes, his expression was calm, as if he didn't feel anything. This kind of pill that can forcibly increase the Xuanli in a short period of time must have extremely strong medicinal properties. The risks of swallowing such a pill are often far greater than the benefits. However, Yun Che has Phoenix Blood and Dragon Marrow after all, and has the protection of the Great Dao Buddha. He was able to swallow the blood and flesh of the king dragon with his spiritual body. Now that he has a Dixuan body, swallowing the Tianxuan Qiankun Pill is even more of a piece of cake.
Even so, Yun Che still did not feel well under the strong medicinal properties of the Tianxuan Qiankun Pill. As the medicinal power gradually dissolved, the heat flowing into his meridians and profound veins became more and more violent and fierce. Although his face was calm, his forehead was quietly covered with fine hot sweat...
………………………………
The time it took to refine the Profound Sky Universe Pill was about the same as Yun Che had expected. When he had finished refining it and opened his eyes, it was already early morning three days later.
Yun Che stood up and stretched out his hands. In the past three days, his clothes were soaked with sweat again and again, emitting a pungent smell of sweat. He stretched out his palms, and a vortex of profound force appeared in his palms. Then, as his palms closed, the vortex of profound force directly dispersed, bringing with it a loud explosion.
“The extent of the improvement is about what I expected. I am finally only one step away from the Profound Sky Realm.” Yun Che clenched his fists and muttered to himself, “Jasmine, how long have I been refining?”
"Three days."
"Oh…what? Three days?!"
Yun Che jumped up suddenly with a start. He quickly glanced out the window, judged the time, and ran out the door: “Jasmine! Why didn’t you call me! Today is the day of the ranking battle. It’s quite a long distance from here to Phoenix City!”
"I have no obligation to remind you."
When he reached the door, Yun Che stopped walking. He sniffed the scent on his sleeves and slammed the door shut again: “Forget it, I’d better take a shower first.”
Jasmine: “…”
——————————————————————
When Yun Che rushed all the way to Phoenix City, it was already close to nine o'clock in the morning, and there were less than two quarters of an hour left before the ranking battle began.
There was a dense crowd of people in front of the Phoenix City gate. These people were not qualified to enter, or did not get the admission tickets. They could only wander outside the Phoenix City unwillingly, hoping to get the battle report as soon as possible. Yun Che quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed to the main gate of the Phoenix City, but was stopped by two Phoenix disciples.
"Show your admission credentials." A Phoenix disciple who stopped him said lazily. He probably repeated the same words countless times today.
“I am a participant from the Blue Wind Nation.” Yun Che said simply, while picking up his participation badge.
As soon as the red battle badge appeared, the two Phoenix disciples' eyes suddenly focused. After seeing the words "Cang Feng" on it, they looked at each other with the same strange look. One of the Phoenix disciples shouted inside: "Senior Brother Zhan Yun, the participants from Cang Feng Nation have arrived!"
"What? Cang Feng!?"
Soon, a sturdy young man walked out. He saw the battle badge in Yun Che’s hand, then stared at him again and said softly, “We all thought that you from the Blue Wind Nation didn’t dare to come. You actually came at this time. You don’t take this ranking battle seriously... Forget it, I will personally take you in. Where are the others besides you?”
“No.” Yun Che shook his head: “It’s just me.”
"What? Just you?"
“That’s right. This time, I’m the only participant in Cang Feng’s battle. There is no one else, and no one to accompany me. Please take me in. The ranking battle is about to begin.” Yun Che said calmly.
Feng Zhanyun looked Yun Che up and down, and also probed his profound strength. He curled his lips, not wanting to say anything more, and said nonchalantly: “Forget it, since you are here, follow me.”
"Senior Brother Zhan Yun, do you want to report to the Great Elder?"
"No need." Feng Zhanyun waved his hand: "The ranking battle will start soon, there is no need to distract them with such a small matter. Anyway, he is just going to go through the motions, so just make some arrangements."
Phoenix City is the core area of Phoenix Divine Sect, so naturally outsiders are not allowed to set foot in it casually. Through the central Phoenix Realm is a somewhat narrow and long fixed passage. On both sides of the passage, there is the breath of the flame mysterious formation. Obviously, anyone who dares to try to set foot in the area outside the passage will inevitably encounter the attack of the mysterious formation.
After entering the Phoenix Realm, before even getting close to the ranking match arena, a lively and extremely exciting atmosphere had already rushed towards him. When entering the arena, Yun Che was stunned for a moment.
Cang Wanhe once told him that the Seven Nations Ranked Tournament was a shame that the Cangfeng Xuanzhe did not want to mention, but for the other six nations, it was the most important and grand event in the Xuan Realm every twenty-five years. Every time the Seven Nations Ranked Tournament came, everyone from the emperor to the common people paid full attention. For this Ranked Tournament, they even started preparing for it five years ago.
And at this moment, Yun Che finally began to understand what the "Seven Nations Ranking Tournament" that was rarely mentioned in Blue Wind Nation meant.
The size of the entire stadium far exceeded his expectations. The audience seats occupied the vast majority of the stadium. At a glance, the crowd was bustling, endless, and boundless. The entire stadium was filled with people from top to bottom, no less than millions. In the sky above, a large number of people flew here and there, flying in and out, like locusts.
Compared to that, the scale and atmosphere of the Blue Wind Ranked Tournament...it can only be said that it is not even qualified for comparison.
The huge seats were divided into several sections, each of which was filled with people, without any empty seats, but they were also clearly divided. At the front of the seats, Yun Che saw the logos of the five countries. The participants and accompanying persons of the five countries were sitting in these seats. Behind them were basically the supporters of their own countries. Before the qualifying match started, they all had red faces, bright eyes, and faces full of excitement and impatience. Being able to enter the qualifying match site to cheer for their own country and witness the schedule was enough for them to show off their glory for a lifetime.
The chairman's seat in the arena naturally belonged to the Phoenix Sect. However, the front seat of the Phoenix Sect was vacant, and the giants of the Phoenix Sect had not yet entered the arena.
Yun Che’s eyes quickly scanned the area, but he still couldn’t find the seat of the Blue Wind Nation.
“Hey, how are you? Are you scared? Have you never seen such a big scene since you were born?” Feng Zhanyun looked at Yun Che with a squint.
“Why is there no seat for the Blue Wind Nation?” Yun Che asked with a frown.
"Why should there be one?" Feng Zhanyun curled his lips and asked, "Your Blue Wind Nation's profound practitioners came to this Seven Nation Ranking Tournament just to make up the number of 'seven nations', or... hehe, to add some jokes. Speaking of which, you were supposed to have a seat, after all, you are an independent nation, but until three days ago, we still didn't receive any movement from Blue Wind Nation, and thought that you were too lazy to even 'make up the number' this time, so we didn't prepare anything about your Blue Wind Nation, including seats."
Yun Che's brows tightened, and he said nothing.
This is not a question of whether or not to prepare a seat. Even if Blue Wind Nation stated several months in advance that it would not participate in the war, there should still be a seat for Blue Wind Nation here... because this is the most basic recognition and respect for a real country.
And now, the entire arena, the six nations are all present, but there is no seat for Blue Wind Nation... This is simply nakedly not taking Blue Wind Nation seriously! It may even be a deliberate contempt and insult.
He believed that there must be many spectators from Cangfeng Country in the stadium, and every Cangfeng countryman would be furious when seeing such a scene.
"It's a good thing that we didn't prepare. You're the only one who came from Cang Feng. Tsk tsk, if we reserved a Cang Feng seat, it would be a waste. As for you... well, there are no other empty seats, so you can only stand here. When you are needed to enter, you can fly directly from here, how convenient... Oh, by the way, you seem to be only in the Earth Profound Realm, and you can't cross the void. Then you can do it yourself. I, Feng Zhanyun, brought you here personally and arranged a place for you to stand. But I have already given you enough face, enough for you to show off for ten or eight years when you go back."
The "here" that Feng Zhanyun was talking about was a corner at the very edge of the huge stadium. Not only was the location extremely bad, but it was also hard to see the center of the stadium due to poor eyesight, and it wasn't even a seat! If one had to find an advantage for this location, it would only be that it could overlook most of the stadium.
