Chapter 339: The fierce and cruel battle for the previous Lingdao
The monks in the Qi Refining Stage who enter the path of cultivation are like crucian carp crossing the river. There are many of them. After arduous training, going through many difficulties and dangers, and passing through many tests, it can be said that only one monk in a hundred can advance to the Foundation Building Stage.
Only after each monk successfully advances to the foundation building level can he truly become a member of the world of cultivation and become the backbone of the world of cultivation.
More than half of the sharply reduced number of foundation-building monks will stay in the early-stage foundation-building stage throughout their lives. After hard work, a few lucky ones can be promoted to the middle-stage foundation-building stage and their strength will greatly increase. From then on, they will become the best among the monks of the same level.
In some places, one can even form a clan and become a small overlord.
The bottleneck from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building is even more solid, and the strength between the two sides is also very different. It is this bottleneck that turns into a roadblock that makes many monks unable to stop.
It is also because of its existence that many monks can only look back and sigh. There are very few monks who have successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building.
Most monks in the late stage of foundation building focus mainly on searching for some treasures that are helpful for condensing Jinda, and under normal circumstances they will not leave easily.
However, the battle for the spirit island that occurs once every fifty years is obviously qualified, and may even cause the appearance of some old monsters that have not been seen for many years.
Although these people have never condensed the golden elixir, they are already at the pinnacle of the ninth level of foundation building. They have been immersed in it for more than twenty years, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of monks of the same level.
They are the powerful contenders for these second-level high-grade spiritual islands. As for the ultimate goals, they are also different. They may be to find a spiritual island to live in old age, or to create an excellent environment for future generations, etc.
.
To sum up, even some late-stage foundation-building monks have little chance of winning in the battle for only ten second-level high-grade spiritual islands.
Therefore, some late-stage foundation-building monks who have not yet reached the peak level of cultivation have settled for the next best thing. Instead, they would rather choose the spiritual island with the best conditions among the second-level mid-level spiritual islands as their target.
"The top ten among the second-level mid-level spiritual islands are all already occupied by late-stage foundation-building monks, but fortunately Hulu Spirit Island is not among them." After observing, Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but sigh.
This famous spiritual island is actually divided into two extremes in the eyes of many monks. For monks in need of spiritual gourds, it can be said to be a treasure land that can be quickly seized.
On the contrary, for monks in the late stage of foundation building, it is quite useless. The highest second-level mid-grade spiritual gourd is not of much help to them, unless they are some monks who can no longer improve their cultivation and are dedicated to fighting for the spiritual island for their descendants.
Only then will I put it in my eyes.
On the contrary, because of its cultivation value, the Songzhu Spirit Island, whose spiritual veins were already at the peak of the second-level mid-level, and the Hundred Years of Spiritual Medicine Garden, which had been cheated and completed, it became a hot spot among the monks for a while.
"Comparatively speaking, this Calabash Island is more suitable for Zhao, that's it." After struggling for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shoushou finally made his final decision.
Another function of this Nuo Da Map is that it can clearly show the number of people and cultivation levels that have signed up for each spiritual island. As of now, there are a total of six monks who have signed up for Hulu Spirit Island, all of whom are in the middle stage of foundation building.
There are already two late-stage foundation-building monks on Songzhu Lingdao, and nine mid-stage foundation-building monks will compete for it. As time goes by, more monks will definitely sign up to participate.
"The registration fee for the second-level mid-level spiritual island battle is ten yuan of mid-level spiritual stones. The battle will officially begin ten days later. Follow the number plate to draw lots. The final winner of the one-on-one battle will become the next island owner."
He was a late-stage foundation-building monk from the South Emperor Gate. He briefly introduced the rules and then indicated that he could leave.
He held a dark wood piece in his hand, with the number seven carved on it, and a gourd vine on the back, which also meant that he was the seventh monk to participate in the battle for Huludao.
However, Zhao Shoushou did not leave. Instead, he turned around and continued to approach the map, preparing to learn more about the three third-level low-grade spiritual islands that appeared this time.
The original owners of these spiritual islands were at least sects or families with Golden Core monks at their command. However, they fell away for unknown reasons in the past fifty years, and no new Golden Core monks appeared. In the end, it became a matter of competition for the spiritual islands.
A battleground.
As for the monks who thrive on it, according to the rules of the Spirit Island Alliance, they generally have two choices. One is to submit to the new island owner; the other is to replace it with the monk with the highest current level.
Spirit Island, there is no need to participate in the battle for Spirit Island.
Of course, most monks will choose the latter. After all, no one can be sure of the habits and hobbies of the new island owner, so there is no benefit in being the master of one's own affairs.
The area of the three third-level lower-grade spiritual islands has reached the size of medium-sized spiritual islands. They have at least one second-level high-grade spiritual mineral vein, and have been open to the elixir garden for more than 250 years.
There are five attached small spiritual islands, and there are about twenty micro spiritual islands. It can be said that each third-level spiritual island represents a complete community and foundation.
The monks participating in the battle for the third-level spiritual island are mainly casual cultivators, with some small families or sects that have newly emerged golden elixir-level monks in the middle.
No matter how greedy he is, these spiritual islands are not something he is qualified to touch. If he successfully condenses the golden elixir and has a magic weapon to protect himself in the future, he can actually fight.
"Instead of being too ambitious, it's better to figure out how to deal with the upcoming battle." Zhao Shoushou murmured to himself, with a look of thinking appearing on his face.
According to the news previously received from Qingyun Sect, in every battle for the Spirit Island, the only rule is that treasures beyond the scope of strength cannot be used.
For example, after being authorized, a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage uses a magic weapon in a short period of time, or a treasure that is obviously made by the Golden Core Stage, and even talismans are within the prohibited scope.
But other than that, there are no restrictions. On every competition stage, the two monks can take action at will before surrendering and admitting defeat.
This includes killing monks before surrendering, which is within the scope of the rules. The winner even maliciously obtains the opponent's storage bag.
This also led to the fact that in every battle for the Spirit Island, except for some monks who were really similar in strength and could not help each other, the casualty rate among the monks was still quite high.
Of course, this is limited to the foundation-building stage monks competing for the second-order spiritual island. On the contrary, the golden elixir stage ancestors fighting for the third-order spiritual island have many taboos, but they appear more civilized and rarely have bloodshed.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shoushou has been trying his best to avoid competing for the same spiritual island with the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment. Many monks with ulterior motives even use this as a means to make a fortune, which is extremely abominable.
He even suspected that the so-called battle for the spirit island was an unbreakable conspiracy by some large and powerful sects in the overseas cultivation world, and its main purpose was also to weaken the strength of casual cultivators.
