Chapter 003 Conference
Holding a small knife, Zhong Xuan quickly ran towards Zhong Shijiu.
"At the Longmen Conference, if one cannot be selected, one must participate in the brutal combat, serving as entertainment for the disciples of these immortal sects. It is quite common for those who are less skilled to die on the spot. There are about three thousand people here, and in the end, no more than two hundred will walk out of the valley alive. If you do not wish to take the risk, then do not proceed," Elder Zhong addressed his numerous adopted sons.
An hour later, finally, from all directions of the horizon, a multitude of sword lights flew in. Streams of sword lights shot in from all sides, as various disciples of the immortal sect landed on the platforms, riding their flying swords. Similarly, there were those who wielded other magical treasures, as well as monks and nuns, who flew to the platforms in this valley.
Three thousand individuals participated in the Longmen Conference, while at the edge of the valley, there were around a hundred people like Old Master Zhong, all of whom were aware of their hopelessness and had come to send their disciples here
Indeed, those twelve individuals were also noticed by the various celestial sects above, which cast down numerous small objects. Zhong Shijiu received a small wooden sword and looked up at the terrace from which the wooden sword was thrown with a face full of surprise
As soon as the white-bearded man spoke, his voice echoed throughout Longmen Valley
The crowd of righteous individuals was immediately filled with excitement and ran out.
You lack the strength to stop them; you can only meet your demise. Moreover, this path was chosen by them. They can retreat now and return at any moment, yet the righteous sons choose to fight, all for the chance to enter the immortal gate. The allure of eternal life is simply too tempting.
In the distance, as Zhong Xuan severed his opponent's right arm with a single stroke, a small wooden knife flew over from a lower celestial gate and landed in Zhong Xuan's hand. At that moment, excitement surged in Zhong Xuan's eyes; he had obtained it, he had obtained it.
In the great Kun Kingdom where Old Master Zhong resides, there are many surrounding countries, thus at this moment, there are numerous unfamiliar faces present.
Everyone knows that the Longmen Conference has begun. Each person is filled with excitement
"Hmm!" said Zhong Tian
Da Yi's son Zhong Tian brought a large stone and placed it in the corner for the old master Zhong to sit down.
However, Zhong Di, Zhong Xuan, and Zhong Shijiu did not come over to bid farewell to Old Master Zhong; instead, they stood on their respective masters' flying swords or magical artifacts and ascended to the terrace.
Looking at the terrace below, there were already people standing on it, and the group of righteous disciples was filled with excitement. Could that be someone from the Immortal Sect
Not long after, on the terrace, more people arrived: a group of golden-robed monks, a group of elegantly dressed men and women, and a crowd of individuals in black clothing. The terrace had already attracted forces from all directions.
"Very well, those of innate talent shall face others of innate talent, and those of acquired skill shall face others of acquired skill. Each shall select their opponent and then engage in battle separately," the white-bearded elder said once more.
Selected was Zhong Shijiu, who sat to one side, his mouth trembling and his eyes flashing with extreme surprise. The more than two thousand others looked on enviously at those who had been chosen in advance.
They are all congenital powerhouses under the age of fifty
According to those whom one has invested in, one has found the individuals who have been invested in, scattered in various places
Ah ... ... '' Ah ... ... '' Ah ... ... ''
Below, in the square, there are nearly 3,000 people, each standing at the edge of the valley.
Foster father!" Zhong Tian looked towards Old Master Zhong
Zhong Tian, with a sense of reluctance flashing in his eyes
In the valley, there is a vast open space, remarkably large, with a diameter reaching over 1,000 meters, resembling a large sports arena from the past of Zhongshan.
Those who attended the Longmen Conference exclaimed one after another
Establishing good relationships. Next, everyone bids farewell to the one who has come to send them off, thus resolving their karmic ties. From then on, they no longer concern themselves with worldly matters, entering the immortal gate to cultivate the supreme path of immortality
Hmm! Old Master Zhong nodded.
Stop! The white-bearded elder commanded with a single word
Ah ... ...
"Livestock?" exclaimed Zhong Yizi, furrowing his brow in surprise
"Beasts!" Old Master Zhong said with a stern look in his eyes
At this moment, Zhong Tian rushed into the arena, searching for the bodies of Zhong Huang, Zhong Yi, Zhong Liu, and Zhong Shiba.
On one of the lower terraces, an elderly man with a white beard was the first to speak
The Breaking Restriction Pill, you must obtain a Breaking Restriction Pill from that immortal elder
... ...
Subsequently, the thirty-two individuals selected earlier stood at a designated waiting area at hetushu.com, while the more than two thousand others dispersed to different locations and began their respective bloody massacres
Sigh... Old Master Zhong let out a gentle sigh. This was their own choice
"Heh, the Upper and Lower Immortal Gates are merely a collective term. As long as your sect is powerful, it is considered the Upper Immortal Gate; it is simply the pride that a major sect should possess," Old Master Zhong said with a smile.
Old Master Zhong waited patiently
Upon hearing this, Old Master Zhong, who was sitting nearby, trembled slightly. His face displayed an expression of extreme surprise
However, the only drawback is that it is too cold; her face is too cold, and her emotionless eyes gaze down at the swarms of ants.
The bottom of the valley is very spacious and exceptionally clean, while the surrounding edges are filled with countless fragments of stone
Master, please ascend once more, and accept the three bows from your disciple
Above the 'balcony' at this moment, there are already several individuals standing, each dressed elegantly and exuding an air of grace, some carrying swords on their backs, while others bear knives.
One hour later, in the arena, only five hundred had been selected, and only two hundred were still fighting. Each of them was covered in blood, and the ground was filled with corpses
Massacre, absolute massacre, each using their strongest techniques, the fastest techniques, to defeat the opponent, to bring down the rival, only then is there a possibility of being noticed by these immortal sects
In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with bloodshed, countless streams of blood soaring into the sky. Ants, livestock—this is livestock—sacrificing their own lives to elicit sympathy from the celestial sect above? To be regarded with a different perspective?
Gently sitting down, he looked at the seven adopted sons who had reached the pinnacle of their abilities, as Old Master Zhong introduced them
Having spoken, twenty individuals, their eyes filled with excitement, stepped away from the main group and formed a line
"Foster father, what is the Upper Immortal Gate? What is the Lower Immortal Gate?" asked Zhong Shijiu.
After a while, Zhong Di also obtained a certificate. However, Zhong Huang and Zhong Yi were executed on the spot
... ...
This is Longmen Valley. The upper terrace, located at https://www.hetushu.com, is where disciples from various major sects stand. There are upper and lower terraces; the lower terrace is for some lesser sects or wandering cultivators to rest, while the upper terrace is where the five major sects of immortals settle. Not all of them necessarily come, but those who do are here to recruit disciples.
In just a short while, Lord Zhong and his group noticed that some mortals had already been brought to the "lower terrace," just like the Zhao family. At this moment, the Zhao family also had two young men who were taken up first due to the presence of people above.
Eight upper terraces and fifty lower terraces
A brutal scene, a cruel massacre. This is the Longmen Conference. The Longmen Conference, which people yearn for, involves leaping onto the Longmen, transforming oneself into a dragon; those who cannot leap onto the Longmen will fall and die.
"Father, please rest assured." A glimmer of determination flashed in the eyes of all the righteous sons. This is an excellent opportunity; how could it possibly be abandoned?
Upon hearing what Old Master Zhong said, the group of righteous sons fell into a moment of silence
The remaining more than one hundred people, their bodies covered in blood, unconsciously came to a halt. Tears of sorrow flowed from the eyes of each of these earthly heroes as they quickly rushed towards some of the corpses on the ground
Zhong Shiba and Zhong Liu, amidst Zhong Tian's loud cries, were killed on the spot by two opponents. Zhong Tian's eyes turned red with rage, and he instinctively wanted to rush out, but was stopped by Old Master Zhong. At that moment, a trace of heartache flashed in Old Master Zhong's eyes, yet he still held onto Zhong Tian, urging him to endure.
Zhong Shijiu quickly ran to the front, standing in a line with twelve others. An expression of extreme excitement appeared on Zhong Shijiu's face; he was only thirty-two years old.
As soon as the woman arrived, she attracted the attention of almost everyone. Dressed in a purple robe adorned with numerous sashes, she appeared exceptionally beautiful. At her feet were a pair of exquisitely lovely bare feet, and her upper body was shaped alluringly like a gourd, complemented by an exceptionally delicate and exquisite face
"All individuals who are congenital before the age of sixty and those who reach their peak after the age of fifty, please step to the center of the arena," said the white-bearded man in a clear and resonant voice.
On the cliff face, at a height of one hundred meters, there are nearly fifty terraces aligned on a horizontal plane, each capable of accommodating fifty people. At a height of two hundred meters, there are eight terraces, positioned in eight different directions.
"Look at the person below; do you know what this person means in the eyes of these immortal sects?" asked Old Master Zhong
Old Master Zhong, at this moment leaning on his cane, was gazing at his three adopted sons.
Old Master Zhong, accompanied by his eight adopted sons, also arrived at a corner
At the lower terrace and the valley bottom, many people displayed an expression of deep yearning. This included the adopted son of the venerable Master Zhong, who had reached the pinnacle of the Seven Great Later Stages. However, Master Zhong himself did not look at her at this moment; instead, he gazed intently at the various factions. As for Zhong Tian, he seemed oblivious to the woman's beauty and did not pay much attention, dedicating himself wholeheartedly to serving his adoptive father. As for Zhong Tian, he seemed oblivious to the woman's beauty and did not pay much attention, dedicating himself wholeheartedly to serving his adoptive father
In various places, a rough master-disciple relationship was initially established. Zhong Di, Zhong Xuan, and Zhong Shijiu each took on apprentices in three different sects. Zhong Di and Zhong Xuan joined two lower celestial sects, while Zhong Shijiu, to his immense relief, became an apprentice in one of the upper celestial sects clad in white robes
On the terrace of the four great gates, the disciples initially reacted in the same manner. However, upon seeing the woman's face clearly, they all visibly shuddered and dared not look again
Indeed, in the eyes of these immortal sects, all of us are merely livestock; the mortals of the secular world are livestock, selected for their convenience. In their hearts, they see themselves as constantly evolving beings, becoming increasingly advanced, while we remain at the very bottom. It is akin to those primitive savages I showed you last time, would you regard them as your equals? Would you toast and celebrate with those who cannot even speak? No, and neither would these disciples of the immortal sects. They are selecting a few fortunate individuals, those who catch their eye; only those chosen will be regarded by them.
Some individuals left their newly appointed masters first and bid farewell to their families
Subsequently, on the terrace, the disciples of various celestial sects each cast different objects: some threw an iron flower, some a small sword, and others a small bead. Coincidentally, all of these landed in the hands of those in the innate realm
Receiving the small object signifies that one has been favored by the disciples of the throwing sect. Among the strong practitioners of the innate realm under the age of fifty, each one is filled with excitement in their eyes
Throughout the battle, everyone present was blinded by rage. After eliminating their opponents, they found that they had not yet obtained the proof, so they engaged in combat with another person. This continued until the proof was dropped or they exhausted their strength
At this moment, many people also flew down from the crowd's terrace
Go ahead! Old Master Zhong said to his seven adopted sons while leaning on his cane
Not selected, not selected, my own relatives, friends, have also died
It seems that no description of the beauty of the world can capture her appearance; she is so beautiful that almost everyone who sees her is left breathless
"The peak achievers of the day after tomorrow, step forward before the age of thirty-five," the white-bearded elder said once more
The cliff is vertical, surrounded by towering stone mountains that encircle this place at its center
The five major immortal sects have arrived, and the Dragon Gate Conference has officially commenced
Everyone shook their heads
Quickly, with four corpses in tow and tears in his eyes, Zhong Tianyi, covered in blood, returned to the side of Old Master Zhong
"Take it back and give it a proper burial," said Old Master Zhong
The screams were incessant, and around one hundred people had already been slaughtered on the spot. Many others had also received small items thrown by the celestial gate.
Arriving at the center of the square, they stood in thirty rows, with one hundred people in each row
Longmen Valley, on the fifty lower terrace, has already seen thirty individuals from different factions standing. As for the upper terrace, there is only one person, all dressed in white robes, standing at the pinnacle of the upper terrace, looking down with a gaze of indifference.
"Those who have reached the innate realm and are under the age of fifty, please step forward," the white-bearded elder continued.
It could begin, but at that moment, once again, on an empty upper terrace, a woman in purple attire floated gracefully, without a flying sword beneath her feet, simply arriving out of thin air
Zhong Shijiu is only thirty-two years old
Cruel, too cruel
