The first stage of the Lingxuan Conference has concluded.
Next up is the segment where the top talents will showcase their strength.
Many people have gotten used to this.
After all, most people are just watching for the spectacle.
The martial arts competition would not continue in the main hall. Lingxuan Temple led everyone to an extremely spacious training ground, a high platform made of extremely sturdy material that would not even leave a mark from ordinary attacks. In addition, it was engraved with many Sanskrit characters and set up a defensive array, which could ensure the safety of the battle.
This also shows the profound heritage of Lingxuan Temple. Unless a martial saint-level expert intervenes, this kind of venue will not be damaged too much.
There were quite a few people. The number of people included some martial artists with low cultivation levels and some elders from powerful forces, totaling nearly a thousand. In addition, there were monks from Lingxuan Temple. At a glance, it was a sea of people.
Each of the top talents from major powers sat in the highest seats, and Li Ming, Guan Xin, and others also sat together.
Xuan Kong, who was also presiding over this conference, used his true energy and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you all for coming to participate in the Dharma assembly at Lingxuan Temple..."
Xuan Kong's voice was booming. He first exchanged some pleasantries, and then began to explain the details of the upcoming martial arts competition.
Anyone can participate in defending the title.
Finally, through this round of elimination, five spots were selected.
In the martial arts arena, it's all one-on-one combat, so martial artists who come in groups have an advantage. However, some powerful forces generally won't stoop to sending a bunch of people to compete for it.
After all, the Spirit Profound Realm is just a chance encounter, and many people go in empty-handed, so it's not like it will all be divided up.
Occasionally, outstanding independent cultivators may have the opportunity to obtain a spot.
"I wonder if there's any chance of getting a spot?"
"I think it's going to be very difficult! There are too many people attending this conference. In the past, those at the Refining Spirit Realm had a chance, but now there are quite a few experts at the Divine Power Realm. It's too difficult!"
"..."
Unlike in the past, there were far too many experts who came this time. It was already difficult for a rogue martial artist to break through to the Grandmaster level, and those who could break through to the Refining Spirit Realm were extremely rare.
Those with the talent to reach the Divine Power Realm have generally already been recruited by major powers.
Therefore, many martial artists present could only be spectators.
"There are quite a few experts at the Divine Power Realm..."
Li Ming looked at the martial artists around him, his brows furrowing slightly.
It's not that I'm worried about not being able to beat these people.
It was a pity that he had lost his life, since martial arts are not about life and death.
Even if you win, the number of lives you gain will be greatly reduced if you can't kill the opponent.
If he can recover 300,000 lives, he can advance a crimson attribute to red, which will greatly enhance his strength.
"Brother Li, please be careful later."
Guan Xin lowered his voice and said, knowing that Li Ming's goal was definitely to get a spot.
This Spirit Mystery Realm contains numerous inheritances, cultivation techniques, and treasures. Many people have previously gained fortune from it and soared to great heights.
Furthermore, Lingxuan Temple has made a promise that if anyone receives Buddhist teachings within the temple, they will not make any other demands as long as they do not pass them on.
"Hmm, there are quite a few people attending this conference. I'll take a look around first before going up."
Li Ming said calmly.
His cultivation has now reached the ninth level of the Refining Spirit Realm, which is enough to rank him among the top even without considering his physical strength.
Especially because of his improved cultivation, his physique and bloodline are working hard, his strength is growing rapidly, and using supernatural powers is not as troublesome as before.
Now he possesses genuine supernatural combat power, and if neither side uses their supernatural abilities, he would completely overwhelm the other.
There's no other reason than that his physique is just that strong.
As the two conversed, Xuan Kong on the stage finished his polite remarks, stating that the competition would end when the opponent had made a move, and then officially announced the start of the match.
After he finished speaking, the scene became extremely lively.
Everyone was speculating about who would go first.
After all, the person who goes first will definitely be at a disadvantage. On the one hand, they will have to fight in a relay battle, which may consume a lot of physical strength. On the other hand, fighting on the stage will inevitably expose a lot of things.
Suddenly, a figure stood up and instantly reached the stage.
His blood and energy, like that of a furnace, suddenly erupted, and he shouted towards the stage:
"Xiao Xuan, come out and face your death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the room turned to Xiao Xuan and Cang Xingyun. The feud between the two had been widely known, and almost everyone knew that they were enemies.
If we go up there today, it's likely that we'll only touch the surface and that's all talk; it could easily lead to someone's death.
Xiao Xuan, a young marquis who has accumulated knowledge and experience and made a name for himself, has attracted much attention and achieved remarkable results in Tai Xuan Mountain.
Cang Xingyun is one of the most outstanding geniuses of the Cang family. He already had a great reputation in Yunzhou, but he had not fully revealed his strength before. It was only when he made a move recently that people realized that he had reached the realm of supernatural powers!
Both of them were listed on the Human Ranking, with Xiao Xuan ranking seventy-second and Cang Xingyun forty-seventh.
In terms of the situation, Cang Xingyun clearly has a significant advantage.
Upon hearing Cang Xingyun's shouts, Xiao Xuan took a step forward, his aura surging forth. Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped directly onto the martial arts stage.
"Azure Star Cloud!"
Xiao Xuan's gaze sharpened as he stood holding his gun, his deep eyes filled with murderous intent.
Even if the other party has already cultivated supernatural powers, while he is only at the Refining Spirit realm.
However, a different conversation was taking place in his mind.
"Master, I want to kill this person, otherwise I won't be at peace!"
An aged voice echoed in his mind.
"Although this person is at the Divine Power Realm, his foundation is not as solid as yours. As long as you unleash three-tenths of the essence of the Heavenly Gang Spear technique I taught you, and rely on the advantage of the Heavenly Gang Spear, killing him will be a piece of cake!"
The speaker's tone was extremely arrogant, showing no regard for the other party, a mere martial artist with supernatural powers.
However, he had the confidence to say that.
He was the Heavenly Gang Spear Saint who had been dead for hundreds of years.
Xiao Xuan's rise to power was not entirely due to his own efforts.
Several years ago, his mind was poisoned, leaving him in a daze and ridiculed by others.
Although his father was a third-rank martial arts master, he did not know the proper method, and the medical experts he invited could not give him a clear answer.
He was tricked into buying an antique ring, and everyone else laughed at him for being foolish.
Little did they know that this seemingly ordinary ring contained the remnant soul of a powerful being.
This person was once the Heavenly Gang Spear Saint. When he broke through to the first-grade realm, his enemy came to his door. He failed to break through and fought. Although he managed to kill his opponent at the limit, he was also greatly injured. He used a secret technique to forcibly let his remnant soul reside in a ring made of special material.
Not long after Xiao Xuan bought it, the Heavenly Gang Spear Saint awoke from his slumber and discovered that Xiao Xuan was a man of extraordinary luck. He immediately realized that Xiao Xuan had been ambushed and helped him repair the damage to his soul.
He also instructed Xiao Xuan in martial arts, treating him as a disciple and imparting all his knowledge to him.
They even led him to the things he had left behind.
Xiao Xuan came here this time with his eyes on one of the great rewards in the Spirit Profound Secret Realm: the Nourishing Spirit Lotus.
It can repair damage to the soul and spirit, making it a rare spiritual object from the outside world.
