"Life and death arena?"
Seeing Shen Jiangyue's expression suddenly change, Gu Dan asked curiously, "What is that?"
"Many wars have broken out between the human race and the demon race. During the most brutal times, there were many battlefields where Nascent Soul Venerables and even Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarchs were deployed."
Shen Jiangyue took a deep breath and said, "But you also know that even a Yuanying Venerable has the power to easily sweep across a country. If a Yuanying Venerable is willing to spend more time, without the interference of equal power, it is not difficult to kill even an entire continent."
Gu Dan nodded slightly.
The way to immortality is the embodiment of personal power.
Qi training and foundation building are not yet obvious, but when one reaches the Golden Core Realm, it is not difficult for one person to defeat a country.
When the ancestor of the Xu family dared to intervene and oppress the Xia Dynasty, wasn't it just because he relied on his own great power?
If Gu Dan had not come to the rescue, the Xia Dynasty would have had no other options.
That was just an ordinary golden elixir. If it was replaced by a Nascent Soul Master, it would not be so troublesome. It is no exaggeration to say that if a Nascent Soul Master is determined to destroy it, then they will be walking human-shaped natural disasters.
It is also for this reason that the various sects usually do not let the Yuanying Venerable take the field personally unless they are forced to do so. After all, once the Yuanying Venerable gets really angry, it won't just be his enemies who will be in trouble.
To use a less appropriate metaphor, those guys are human-shaped nuclear weapons, and they are sustainable. Not only do they have human intelligence, but they also know all kinds of weird knowledge.
When they reach the level of Yuanying Venerable, the fights between them are no longer suitable to take place in the human world. Otherwise, even if it is unintentional, it will bring unbearable damage to the human world.
Once it really happens, the so-called sky falling and earth collapsing will no longer be a description or exaggeration, but an indisputable fact.
"The fate of the Yuanying Venerable is relatively good. Even if he really destroyed all the lives on a continent, it would be difficult to completely cut off the vitality of the world. After waiting for dozens or hundreds of years, there will still be lives that can survive. But once the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch also takes action..."
A trace of fear flashed across Shen Jiangyue's eyes. "It is equivalent to inflicting 'destruction' on a world, and it is irreversible."
"Irrevocable?"
“That’s right!”
Shen Jiangyue nodded affirmatively and said, "It's equivalent to destroying an entire world!"
"this"
Gu Dan found it hard to imagine what kind of power that was.
I'm afraid it has already involved the "rules" level! It seems that the former White Lotus Venerable, apart from claiming to be half a step into the God of Transformation and having half a broken White Lotus Dao Fruit, did not really master the power of the God of Transformation.
"In a battlefield of that intensity, neither the human race nor the demon race will gain the slightest benefit. The homes that countless people depend on for survival will be completely destroyed, and will no longer be suitable for any living being to live in for almost eternity.
Of course, it wasn't just us who suffered heavy losses, the demon tribe suffered the same. In a battle of that magnitude, apart from destroying one world after another, no one could gain much, not even 'trophies'!"
Shen Jiangyue said.
The whole world is destroyed, what spoils are there?
If a real war breaks out, there will be no winner, whether it is the human race or the demon race.
It is equivalent to destroying one's own home and fundamentally weakening each other's living soil. The final result will inevitably be a lose-lose situation.
Fortunately, the nine major immortal sects finally reached a basic reconciliation with the Pantheon - they could fight and make trouble, but humanoid natural disasters at the level of Nascent Soul Venerable and even realm destroyers at the level of Divine Transformation Lord would no longer participate in the war.
Of course, absolute restraint is impossible. The friction between the two sides has never stopped, but they still maintain general tolerance.
The top powers will no longer directly intervene in the dispute until there is an unacceptable outcome.
Unless one day, one side feels that it has accumulated enough strength to decide the outcome in one battle and completely defeat the other side at the cost of suffering losses.
But obviously, neither the human race nor the demon race has yet gained absolute advantage, and this balance is still being maintained.
However, even if the contradiction is covered up, it still exists.
There has to be a solution.
Thus, the life and death arena came into being.
Without dispatching Yuanying Venerable and Huashen Tianjun, the younger generations were allowed to fight on each other's behalf and decide matters that would not affect the overall situation of the human and demon races.
Just like the source heaven at this moment.
"In short, the life-and-death competition is the product of reconciliation of contradictions. Both sides put their needs and bottom lines on the table and use a method that is acceptable to both sides to test their skills.
The winners will get more benefits, while the losers will maintain the bottom line of expanding conflicts. "
Shen Jiangyue explained.
"Wait a minute, isn't Yuantian Realm the home ground of the human race?"
Gu Dan said with some difficulty accepting: "The demon race is negotiating terms with us in Yuantian Realm?"
"cough."
Shen Jiangyue coughed lightly and said, "This kind of thing doesn't just happen in Yuantian Realm."
The implication is, of course, that the human race will also take the initiative to go to the demon race's home ground to beg for favors.
It’s just that Gu Dan happened to be in the Yuantian Realm and knew very little about things outside the realm.
"I see."
Gu Dan nodded with some understanding. To put it bluntly, no matter whether it is the human race or the demon race, no one would wish the other party an easy life, but basic restraint is still necessary. However, this does not mean that one cannot choose to disgust the other party in other ways.
"Life and Death Arena, what are the rules?"
Gu Dan asked.
"Just like its name, once you go up, don't worry about life or death. No matter whether you are human or demon, you can't make excuses for this. When the last genius sent by both sides dies on the stage or surrenders, it will be considered as one side admitting defeat."
Shen Jiangyue explained: "Both parties will fulfill their promises as agreed, the winner will get more benefits, and the loser will make concessions."
"I see."
Gu Dan seemed to be thinking about something.
"According to past practice, the life and death arena requires about ten people. Each of the nine major immortal sects will send one person, and then another person will be selected from other sects to represent the human race.
The Tianjiao who represents the human race in the battle will be vigorously cultivated by the Immortal Sect. If they win in the end, there will be countless benefits. "
Shen Jiangyue hinted, "The battle between them will affect the trend of the human and demon races. Although this impact is very subtle, it will add up to a lot and should not be underestimated."
Seeing the eager expression on Shen Jiangyue's face, Gu Dan seemed to have sensed something and asked, "Could it be that the cultivator who will be entering the life and death arena this time is a Jindan-stage cultivator?"
"You guessed it right."
Shen Jiangyue clapped his hands and said, "According to past practice, if it is a major event that determines the direction of a world, the one who steps onto the stage will be a Yuanying Venerable. But you and I both know that the Yuantian Realm is destined to be destroyed under the Meteoric Heavenly River, and it will only take a few hundred years at most, or even less.
Therefore, the standard for this life and death competition should be placed on cultivators at the Golden Core stage."
To put it bluntly, since the Source Heaven Realm is destined to be destroyed, there is no need for either the human race or the demon race to spend too much energy here.
It would be enough to plunder as many resources as possible before the fall of Yuantian Realm. If a war really breaks out because of Yuantian Realm, or even nine Yuanying masters who may become gods in the future are killed, this deal might end up being a loss.
After all, once you step onto the life and death arena, you represent the face of the human race.
It is also a disguised way of showing the strength of one's own fist to the demon clan.
For many people, they can give up some resources but cannot lose face!
This is also true for the demon race.
"Of course, these are just my speculations at the moment. After all, the news has just come out, and it will take time to finalize the details."
Shen Jiangyue said: "However, considering all the factors, if the life and death competition is successful, it is very likely that a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage will be chosen."
"Master wants me to come on?"
Gu Dan didn't think that Shen Jiangyue was explaining so much in such a earnest way, she was just simply chatting with him.
"That's up to you."
Who would have thought that Shen Jiangyue would shake his head and say, "Although your promotion to the Golden Core attracted the Thousand Miles of Tribulation Clouds, and even withstood the Scarlet Sky Divine Thunder that only the Nascent Soul Venerables have to face, you have only just been promoted to the Golden Core after all, and at best you are only in the early stage of the Golden Core.
There has never been a precedent for someone who can truly represent the human and demon races in the life and death arena. In which time, only the geniuses who have reached the Golden Core Perfection or are only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage can represent the human race in the battle?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Golden elixir and golden elixir cannot be generalized, there are nine levels of Qi training!
The gap between the genius in the early stage of Golden Core and the genius in the perfect stage of Golden Core, who is only one step away from being promoted to Nascent Soul, is like a newly dug lake, while the other party is already a sea.
The gap between them is not just about cultivation, but also about experience, opportunity, and understanding of combat.
The life and death competition has been held quite often, but there has never been a newly promoted genius participating.
On the one hand, they still have a lot of room to grow and have not fully tapped their potential.
On the other hand, of course, the nine major immortal sects are huge and powerful, and it is rare to find geniuses in other places. In the nine major immortal sects, you can hit several of them if you throw a stone.
Even if Shen Jiangyue really thinks that her apprentice is very good, her words don't count.
Apart from the fact that the human race’s face is extremely important, does the Changsheng Sect have no sense of face at all?
Sending a guy in the early Jindan stage to join the battle, doesn't that mean that the Changsheng Sect has no one?
That's not a slap in the face of the Changsheng Sect, that's a slap in the face of the entire human race! Does the Changsheng Sect still have a place in the human race's cultivation world? Maybe the elixir will be spit on by others, and it's not worth it to destroy its reputation.
"but."
Although Shen Jiangyue acknowledged the difficulty of this matter, he still changed the subject and said, "If you can be selected, the selected cultivator will also be cultivated by the human race.
Apart from anything else, most of the opportunities within the sect will be within their reach. If they can finally win the life-and-death arena, the chosen cultivators will become true heroes. As long as they don't lose face, the surviving cultivators will reach the Nascent Soul stage at all costs, even if they have to fight hard, and they can even get guidance from the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch!"
Since we are participating in the war on behalf of the human race in the world of immortal cultivation, there must be benefits.
Winning and surviving is equivalent to embarking on a bright and smooth road.
No one will be able to make things difficult for them anymore. The nine immortal sects will treat them as guests of honor, train them at all costs, and provide them with all resources.
Gu Dan looked thoughtful.
The Dao Yun Golden Pill requires a lot of resources.
From this perspective, the life and death arena is indeed a very good opportunity. As long as he wins, he only needs to consider how to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and the nine immortal sects will provide him with all the remaining resources.
Even the formation maniac who was also at the Dao Yun Jin Dan stage only received support from the Tian Yan Sect.
But if they represent the human race in the war, the nine major immortal sects will all serve as logistics.
Besides, he was not afraid of death in the first place, not to mention that he had Ruomu's support. His attack could not be killed in an instant, which was almost equivalent to non-existence. Even the Scarlet Sky Divine Thunder, which even the Yuanying Venerable had to frown on, was helpless.
Whether considering it from the perspective of rapid growth or for the sake of Yuantian Realm, bringing misfortune to the demon race is equivalent to revitalizing the human race.
The greater good and the self, both satisfied! "How can I become the one chosen by the Changsheng Sect?"
Gu Dan thought for a moment and asked.
"Good disciple, I've been waiting for you to say this!"
Shen Jiangyue's eyebrows were curved.
Having said so much, it was natural that she thought her apprentice was qualified to set foot on that battlefield.
After all, he had attracted thousands of miles of calamity clouds just after he was promoted to the Golden Core, and he also withstood the Scarlet Sky Divine Thunder. He was not much worse than the Tianjiao who had reached the Perfect Golden Core! In addition to the risk of dying on the life and death arena, the benefits of this matter were also unquestionable.
What's more, there is a formation maniac on the human side. Putting aside other things, at least there should be no problem for the formation maniac to win three in a row, right?
In Shen Jiangyue's opinion, as long as his apprentice was chosen, he might not even need to take any action to achieve victory.
After all, Zhen Chi has already proved that the invincibility of the 'Golden Core Realm' is not an exaggeration, and the chances of winning are very high.
Even the Dragon Emperor fell at his hands. If his own disciple could get behind Zhen Chi and get a place in the Changsheng Sect, the benefits for his future would be self-evident.
"I will discuss this matter with the elders of the Changsheng Sect. You should concentrate on your training and adapt to your own strength. This matter cannot be taken lightly. Although I know that we will definitely win, we must be prepared just in case."
Dingwei City.
Ever since the giant dragon that blocked out the sky and the sun appeared, there have been more rumors in the city.
Many monks said that the war was about to end.
The greatest advantage of human beings is that they know how to think and to unravel the mystery.
Shen Jiangyue knows the history of the human race and the demon race. Some cultivators who are not as powerful as her can also get a glimpse of it from the classics of their own sects. According to past practice, this killing feast that has made countless cultivators revel in it should come to an end.
There were still countless people stopping to watch in front of the Tianjiao List.
There is no longer any foundation-building person on the current list of geniuses.
After four years of continuous fighting, in the face of time, things like luck will be eliminated to the greatest extent, and only strength is the foundation.
Even Kong Zhai, who was once prominent and talked about by everyone, was suppressed again by countless fighting geniuses and his name was no longer on the list of geniuses.
Who made him disappear for three years? He didn’t work hard, but others did.
It's just building a foundation. He might have died in some corner long ago.
However, few people talk about this name nowadays. The world of immortal cultivation has never lacked geniuses who shine for a while. Only those who can shine all the time are the winners.
They have seen many people like Kong Zhai who appear like a shooting star and disappear in the blink of an eye.
As long as you stay at the top of the Tianjiao list, you will never lack topics to talk about. It’s nothing more than changing your name.
It's still very lively here.
Amid the countless crowds of people, a guy who looked obviously different and was only wearing coarse linen clothes stopped here for a moment.
"Brother Mo, what are you looking at?"
Zheng Fei, who was beside him, put his hand over and said confidently: "When we reach the Golden Core stage, we will definitely be stronger than them!" (End of this chapter)
