Chapter 2696 - 550:
Xingchen Zi turned in astonishment to look back at the female cultivator named Xing Miaorou. He himself was not a loose cultivator, but came from a great sect, and he was even a disciple of the sect hierarch. Those who taught him were all of True Immortal Realm, and if he couldn’t achieve Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, that would indeed be shameful.
But this woman was truly a loose cultivator, yet had also reached Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection like him. This was truly rare.
Xing Miaorou sensed Tong Xingchen’s gaze and nodded slightly towards him.
Xingchen Zi and Xing Miaorou quickly followed the team ahead, entering the Eastern Wilderness Sect together.
This time, the registration for the Eastern Wilderness Sect’s Golden Core Stage Selection was five days.
After all, some disciples were weak in cultivation base, and their masters might not be strong enough either, requiring some time to arrive, so the great teachings allowed ample time.
Xingchen Zi arrived at the Eastern Wilderness Sect on the second day and waited for three more days there.
Many cultivators like him, after entering the Eastern Wilderness Sect, did not rest.
The Eastern Wilderness Sect specially arranged a place to let sect disciples at the Golden Core Stage and loose cultivators spar.
Many Golden Core cultivators headed for sparring or watched others spar.
Xingchen Zi did not go to spar, and spent three days in his room familiarizing himself with the power of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
Three days later, the registration inside the Eastern Wilderness Sect ended.
At the same time, a voice resounded throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness Sect.
"All disciples participating in our Eastern Wilderness Sect’s Golden Core Stage selection, gather at the martial arena; the selection will begin in an hour."
The resting places prepared by the Eastern Wilderness Sect for these outside cultivators were not far from the martial arena, so Xingchen Zi took little time to reach the arena.
At this moment, the martial arena of the Eastern Wilderness Sect was already filled with numerous stages.
And around the stages were mountains, with people standing packed on them, which made it convenient for everyone to observe the battles below.
Many cultivators who would participate in the selection were gathered on the mountains too. Naturally, Eastern Wilderness Sect disciples, or disciples of certain great teachings, congregated together.
Xingchen Zi couldn’t bear to look directly, so he casually found a place.
Before the selection started, discussions had already begun to buzz around.
"Senior brother, this time, it seems a great teaching only has fifty slots, but these fifty slots aren’t just for our great teaching. They include people from other nearby sects and those loose cultivators, making a total of fifty slots at our Eastern Wilderness Sect selection point.
What number of slots do you think those loose cultivators and people from other sects can occupy?"
Nearby, a cultivator clad in black tight clothing said in a deep voice, "Certainly not more than five slots."
"Five? You’re really overestimating them." A robust Eastern Wilderness Sect cultivator exclaimed loudly upon hearing this, "We are a great sect. They are disciples of sects and loose cultivators. How could they possibly compete with us? Thirty slots, surely they will all be taken by our Eastern Wilderness Sect!"
Though the Eastern Wilderness Sect was currently the mountain gate of another great teaching, the Beast Taming Sect, almost all disciples followed the path of beast taming.
During the competition, it’s stipulated that only individuals can participate, without bringing any strange beasts.
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect would simply be offering themselves up if they went in, so the Beast Taming Sect did not participate in the competition.
"That’s impossible," whispered a somewhat slender-looking cultivator nearby. "Senior brother Huang Yan, you probably haven’t been keeping tabs on the other sects and loose cultivators recently. I made some inquiries, and among our Eastern Wilderness Sect’s loose cultivators and sect disciples, there are some who have achieved Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection. I found out that among the cultivators participating in the selection, there are exactly forty Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
Therefore, there will inevitably be ten Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivators eliminated."
"So many." The previously speaking cultivator was shocked, "We have thirty-three from the Eastern Wilderness Sect, but do the rest of the sects and there really have that many Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?"
"The remaining sects have four Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, but among the loose cultivators, there are three Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection!"
"Wait, you said loose cultivators? Loose cultivators among them have Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection? And so many?"
"Yes, I was also surprised for a long time upon hearing the news, but the information is absolutely true. Would our great teaching’s senior brother deceive us?"
"It’s really strange; having even one Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection among the loose cultivators would be astonishing, and now there are three!"
Xingchen Zi listened to the nearby Eastern Wilderness Sect cultivators’ conversation, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Besides him and that Xing Miaorou, was there actually another Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection among the loose cultivators?
Indeed, as people say, within Heaven there are countless extraordinary figures unknown.
"A total of forty Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfections, but only thirty slots, doesn’t this mean ten Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivators will definitely be eliminated?"
"That’s too cruel."
"Everyone, this is just the selection within our Eastern Wilderness Sect. Later, when each great teaching has selected its experts, there will certainly be another round of selection. Our Human Clan only has a total of 128 slots. Then, I don’t know how many Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection experts will be eliminated."
