During the three days of rest in Su Ruobing's mansion, Zhou Yuan was not idle either.
He set aside some time to consolidate his newly realized realm of swordsmanship.
He felt that with his current strength, he would not be afraid at all even when facing a warrior at the third level of Dragon Spirit Realm.
Of course, what he was most concerned about was Su Ruobing's cultivation.
In the past three days, Su Ruobing has been practicing the Qing Ning Wen Xian Jue. After changing the practice method, Su Ruobing still had some physical problems in the past three days.
But with Zhou Yuan here, these are not just minor problems and can be solved easily.
Therefore, Su Ruobing's cultivation was still very smooth. After the Gu worm in her body lacked spiritual nourishment, her body was no longer as full as before and began to become shriveled. This was caused by not eating enough.
As Huamei said, you cannot cut off the nourishment of the voodoo bug at once, otherwise the voodoo bug will eat the host's flesh and blood.
As long as the nutrient supply is reduced subtly a little, without letting the voodoo insects notice it, the voodoo bugs will starve to death over time.
At the current speed, Zhou Yuan felt that it would take at least a year to completely eliminate the Gu insects. In one year, Su Ruobing would be able to get rid of her blood dependence on Jiang Ziyue and dissolve the master-servant relationship.
At the same time, during these three days, Zhou Yuan's consciousness clone was not idle in the Immortal Courtyard.
The conscious clone has found several books on swordsmanship and boxing that are suitable for his current practice. These swordsmanship and boxing techniques all have different routines and moves. Some swordsmanship and boxing techniques are superior in speed, while others are advantageous in strength.
There are also some swordsmanship and boxing techniques with thousands of changes and tricky angles.
Although they are all different, these sword techniques and boxing techniques are all spiritual-level intermediate, superior and even Mahayana martial arts.
These are the next tasks for the consciousness clone. Try to understand and practice as much as possible. On the one hand, it will increase Zhou Yuan's own strength, and on the other hand, it will improve the main martial arts.
Boxing techniques are used to perfect the Thunder Flame Fist, and sword techniques are used to perfect the Thunder Flame Sword Technique.
In particular, Thunder Flame Fist is still a low-level boxing technique at the spiritual level. If it cannot be advanced, it will never be able to exert its strongest power.
…
Three days later, Jiang Ziyue came to pick up Zhou Yuan and Su Ruobing in person.
Seeing the disgusted looks of the two of them, Jiang Ziyue had a look of resentment on her face and mixed feelings in her heart.
Going to Jiangzhou this time, only Zhou Yuan, Su Ruobing, Jiang Ziyue and a dozen other Feng Mo Sect disciples went first, and Yin Qixiu was also among them. However, Yin Qixiu was not going to the ruins battlefield, but to return to the Yanzhao Sect where he was.
Everyone goes ahead, Feng Quanzi will not leave for another ten days.
In Feng Mo Sect, there is a large area teleportation array that goes directly to Jiangzhou. When the array is opened, everyone is teleported to Jiangzhou in an instant.
Zhou Yuan only felt the scene in front of him change, and he appeared in an ancient city made of pure white jade.
This is where the mountain gate of Jiangzhou Yanzhu Gate is located.
"Everyone, I will arrange a place for you to stay in the next few days. It will be absolutely luxurious. As for when to go to Lingxi Swamp, you decide for yourself. Just tell me before you leave and I will send you out."
When they arrived at Yanzhuo Gate, Yin Qixiu was quite enthusiastic towards Zhou Yuan and others.
Only when he came here did Zhou Yuan find out that Yin Qixiu was the Holy Son of Yanzhuo Clan, and his status was very respected here.
"That's fine." Jiang Ziyue nodded slightly.
Among everyone, she was the only one who had the final say.
So everyone settled down in the Yanchuo Sect. The Yanchuo Sect was also vast and boundless. There were nearly a million disciples in the sect and it occupied a large area in Jiangzhou. However, the reputation of the Yanchuo Sect was much better than that of the Fengmo Sect.
While at Yanzhumen, Jiang Ziyue also began to inquire about some information deep in the Lingxi swamp.
For the newly appeared ruins of the Great Emperor's battlefield, each warrior enters in batches, once every half a month.
Jiang Ziyue is also planning and looking for a suitable time to enter.
Zhou Yuan did not sit still. He walked around in some areas of the Yanchuan Sect that were not restricted, and met many Yanchuanmen disciples. He inquired about some news about Lingxi Swamp from them, and occasionally asked about Situ Xingzhou.
information.
However, no one knew Situ Xingzhou, and there was no news about him. It was as if Situ Xingzhou had never been to Jiangzhou.
At the same time, while everyone was temporarily staying at Yanzhu Gate, another piece of news about Lingxi Swamp spread quickly to several surrounding states.
The content of the message was that twelve major forces, including the Fengmo Sect and the Yanzhao Sect, including the three sects, the four clans, and the five sects, had jointly issued a recruitment message.
It is said that deep in the Lingxi swamp, in the ruins battlefield left by the earth, two incarnations of the emperor appeared, one was the incarnation of the Donghuang Emperor, and the other was the incarnation of the Xuanwu Emperor.
The two great emperors once fought against each other, but the two incarnations of the great emperors did not argue. Instead, they each spoke out and wanted to give lessons to the 500 peak warriors of the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
They were going to compete to see which of the five hundred warriors each taught had the greater number of breakthroughs to the Dragon Spirit Realm.
This is a contest between two incarnations of the Great Emperor.
This means that the next group of warriors will form a team of one thousand people.
It is not difficult to find a thousand warriors at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm in the entire Jiangzhou, but in addition to Jiangzhou, the surrounding major states such as Luzhou, Hongzhou, Qingzhou, etc. all want to participate in this lecture.
In the surrounding major states, there are countless warriors at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but the quota is only one thousand.
And since it is a contest between two incarnations of the Great Emperor, the quality of the teaching is definitely higher than any previous teaching. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All warriors who have reached the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm will want it even if they are squeezed out.
Enter the lecture.
Therefore, in order to avoid disputes and killings, the strong men from the three sects, four tribes, and five factions who guarded the entrance to the ruins jointly formulated several rules.
The content of the rules is to set up a grand arena competition.
Any peak warrior at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm who wants to enter the ruins to attend classes can sign up. As long as they can come out on top in the competition and enter the top 1,000, they will be eligible to enter the ruins.
The two incarnations of the great emperor competed with each other for their understanding of martial arts will, and naturally they had to choose the best martial artist to attend the class.
The better you are, the more chances you have to break through to the Dragon Spirit Realm.
"This competition has brought together warriors from seven states including Jiangzhou, Luzhou, Qingzhou, and Hongzhou. Powerful people from all walks of life have gathered together. You must take advantage of it." Jiang Ziyue told all the news.
Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan looked suspicious, "What do you mean, you plan to let me participate in this competition among hundreds of thousands of people?"
Jiang Ziyue nodded.
"Will you participate?" Zhou Yuan asked.
Jiang Ziyue continued to nod, "Of course, the quality of the Emperor's lectures this time is very high. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through to the Dragon Spirit Realm, so naturally I have to fight for it."
Zhou Yuan didn't say anything more. Indeed, there was an incarnation of the emperor teaching, and the opportunity for breakthrough was in the teaching content. It was a lie that he was not moved.
"Zhou Yuan, when you come out of the ruins, you and I will fight. It will be a matter of life and death."
Jiang Ziyue stared at Zhou Yuan with strong murderous intent.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, "Before I kill you, I will let you release your control over Su Ruobing."
…
After staying at Yanzhuo Gate for five days, Zhou Yuan, Jiang Ziyue and others, under the guidance of Yin Qixiu, came to the teleportation array of Yanzhao Gate.
"Miss Su, you didn't wait for Elder Feng Quanzi to arrive?" Yin Qixiu said, cupping his fists at Jiang Ziyue.
"No need, I plan to go directly to Lingxi Swamp. Elder Feng Quanzi will also come to find me after he arrives." Jiang Ziyue said.
"Okay then, be careful along the way."
After bidding farewell to Yin Qixiu, everyone teleported directly to the city closest to Lingxi Swamp through the teleportation array. That city was called Zeman City and was controlled by a country called Liuli Kingdom.
During this period of time, due to the opening of the ruins and the gathering of warriors from all sides, not to mention the overcrowding of Zeman City, the entire Liuli Kingdom has experienced great fluctuations in population flow and has become very crowded.
The population flow has brought huge dividends to Liuli State, and the economy has been on a straight-line upward trend.
Of course, the gathering of warriors from all sides and the mixture of fish and dragons also caused the originally peaceful Liuli Kingdom to become chaotic for a while.
Someone from Feng Mo Sect was originally stationed in Zeman City and bought a mansion directly. Therefore, after Zhou Yuan, Jiang Ziyue and others came to Zeman City, they did not need to stand on the street like others and went directly to the mansion.
In Zeman City today, the population has directly reached saturation. People are shoulder to shoulder and all the houses are occupied. The warriors who have nowhere to go can only stay on the streets, using the sky as their blanket and the earth as their seat. However,
Some smart warriors simply stayed outside the city and built temporary residences outside the city to avoid chaos and find peace and quiet.
After Zhou Yuan and others arrived at the mansion where Feng Mo Sect was located, another piece of news quickly spread throughout Zeman City.
The strong men guarding the entrance to the ruins ordered that the next day, a statistics will be conducted on the warriors who want to participate in the competition and enter the ruins. Through the statistics, the competition rules will be arranged.
After hearing the news, all the warriors in the city entered a state of excitement.
The competition is about to begin, which means that entering the ruins is not far away.
At the same time, in addition to the casual warriors, the twelve forces began to summon their own warriors.
These twelve forces, three sects, four tribes, and five sects, all come from the seven surrounding states. Three of them are the Feng Mo Sect, the Yan Chu Sect, and the Black Xuan Sect supported by the Feng Mo Sect. The four clans are among the seven major states.
There are four most powerful families, and the five sects are the five most powerful sects.
All the warriors gathered towards the city, wanting to sign up and take part in the competition.
Zhou Yuan felt a little numb when he saw the dense crowd in the city.
There are 600,000 to 700,000 of these warriors, all coming to participate in this elimination assessment. Regardless of the strength of each party, no matter how strong the defending party is, they may all die of exhaustion in the end.
Although Zhou Yuan also wants to participate in the competition, he will not work so hard. Even if he is one against ten thousand, he will die from exhaustion.
According to the rules, six to seven hundred thousand warriors participated in the competition, and only one thousand strong ones were selected in the end. These one thousand strong men passed through the ant demon's nest and entered the depths of the Lingxi swamp, and had to resist the attacks of the earth spirit beast ant demon along the way.
, this burden is still very heavy.
But the heavier the burden, the greater the opportunity.
Enter the ruins and listen to the emperor's incarnation teaching. If you can break through to the Dragon Spirit Realm, you will be able to rise rapidly from then on.
Soon, the next day came and all the warriors came to the street.
In the central square of Zeman City, there are already tables and chairs. On the table are thick blank pages, which will be filled with the names of all the warriors.
This place was arranged in advance by Lord Zeman and was heavily guarded, leaving only many passages for everyone to queue up to sign up.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Jiang from Feng Mo Sect?"
When Zhou Yuan and others also arrived at the central square, a soldier immediately came forward and asked respectfully.
"Exactly, we came here to sign up." Jiang Ziyue responded.
The soldier nodded respectfully, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Please come this way, there is no need to queue up here."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and there was no need to queue, which was great.
Soon, several people followed the soldier through a secret passage and arrived at a registration point.
Under the supervision of a warrior, several people wrote their names on the paper.
Registration ends simply like this.
This registration took three full days to end.
Late at night, in the mansion.
Zhou Yuan and Su Ruobing stayed together.
"Brother Yuan, why do I feel that this competition is too casual?" Su Ruobing expressed a long-standing question in her mind.
"I feel the same." Zhou Yuan nodded, "After all, it's a competition between six to seven million people. The elimination system should be arranged in detail. The result..."
In the past few days of registration, they also heard the detailed elimination system.
The rules are very simple, that is, one person is selected to enter the ring, and then others attack. Such arbitrary rules can easily make some truly strong people exhausted.
Of course, this is not what Zhou Yuan has to worry about.
Because from Fengmo Gate to Yanzhao Gate, and then to Zeman City, Zhou Yuan felt more and more that this competition was not that simple. He smelled something full of conspiracy.
