Chapter 274 - 274 How Did You Get First?
274 How Did You Get First?
A white jade tablet appeared in front of the palace, attracting everyone’s attention.
“It’s been another hundred years. I wonder who will get first place this time.”
“I remember that the last champion was an empress from Lee country. She’s a heroine.”
“That’s right. I wonder if it’s her granddaughter this time. The Qian Nation and the Li Nation’s crown prince have both been eliminated. There’s a very good chance.”
“Stop talking. The rankings are about to be released. I wonder who will have the chance to obtain the immortal technique this time.”
Many gazes gathered on the jade tablet. At the bottom, a row of words slowly appeared.
Tenth place, the Princess of the Sky Demon Cult.
When the name was revealed, everyone looked at the black-robed, masked woman with different expressions.
“Sky Demon Cult is amazing. As expected of a sect that dares to oppose Great Qian.”
“The key is that two royal families were eliminated early.”
The princess’s eyes were filled with helplessness. She was originally prepared to give the points to the Blood-Robed old ghost, but that person did not come to look for her in the end.
“Reward: a sixth-grade divine power.”
The voice of the spirit of the mystic realm reverberated. Then, a Jade Slip descended from the sky and landed in the hands of the woman.
This divine power came from the Nine Nations as a reward for the top ten.
Sky Demon Cult didn’t offer anything, which was equivalent to their princess earning a free lunch.
“Where is he?”
The princess’s gaze shifted to the other people on the stage, but she did not see Song Shi. “Could it be that he came out early? Who could have forced him to leave?”
Not only him, but He Changqing, Xuan Buzheng, and the others were also surprised.
“Where’s the Blood-Robed old ghost? Is he hiding and not daring to appear?”
Qian Wuji’s eyes were dark. He wanted to find the Blood-Robed old ghost more than anyone else.
In the high and mighty palace, Song Shi looked down at everyone from above and took in everyone’s situation.
He smiled faintly, “Many people want to see me.”
“Young friend, you have Dharma treasures to protect you. You won’t die easily, but I think you shouldn’t gain too many enemies. No matter how powerful a treasure is, it has its flaws.”
“I understand. Thank you for your kindness.”
Song Shi nodded. To be honest, he was no longer interested in courting death after dying thousands of times in the spatial storm.
No matter how much fun something was, it would always become boring after one plays with it too much.
“Cultivators still have to rely on themselves. Dharma treasures are ultimately worldly possessions. I hope you can understand.”
The Spirit of the Secret Realm felt that this person had gone astray and kindly reminded him.
How could Song Shi not understand this? Unfortunately, when faced with power that could be obtained casually, who could resist the temptation?
He looked at the Lang Ya Board and then at the Spirit of the Mystic Realm, “This list only appears once every hundred years. Every time, it rewards people with divine powers and spells. It has been so many years. Won’t it repeat itself?”
“Basically not. Because of the acc.u.mulation of treasured mystical abilities, I used the mystical abilities from thousands or tens of thousands of years ago as a reward. It’s very likely that they have already been extinct or lost outside.”
The mystic realm spirit said meaningfully, “Of course, the inheritance left behind by Sage King Lang Ya is not allowed to be copied and spread. You however are an exception.”
“Why?”
Song Shi was surprised, “I might make hundreds of copies of it when I go out.”
“You can’t duplicate it yet.”
The spirit of the mystic realm said confidently, “The Void Sutra is very mysterious. It’s difficult to replicate it for those who haven’t cultivated it. Moreover, you have so many enemies. There’s no reason for you to impart such priceless cultivation techniques randomly.”
“Forget it, I won’t joke with you anymore. After this ends, will the mystic realm escape into the depths of the Void? Or will it be nearby?”
“It’s nearby, but the Void is unfathomable. If I don’t take the initiative to appear, the people of this world won’t be able to find me.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm looked at Song Shi, “You seem to be implying something.”
“I’m wondering if I can treat the mystic realm as a cultivation cave abode. The environment here is quite good.”
Song Shi did not hide his interest in the mystic realm.
The spirit of the mystic realm was caught between laughter and tears, “You’re really greedy. I only asked you for help, I did not intend to sell myself for this help.”
“That’s a pity.”
Song Shi felt regretful. The mystic realm was hidden in the depths of the Void. It was quiet and safe, much more powerful than the cave abodes outside.
The key was that after walking out of the mystic realm, he would have a chance to go to the depths of the Void and receive the ‘baptism’ of the Void Storm. He could not come into contact with such a phenomenon for the time being in the outside world.
“Young friend, you should leave. The top three are about to be announced.”
The mystic realm did not want to talk to Song Shi anymore. With a wave of his hand, he teleported Song Shi down.
On the stage, many geniuses gathered and looked at the last three placings.
The mystic realm trial tested not only individual strength, but also strategies, teamwork, and other abilities. It was more inclined to grade based on comprehensive quality.
To be able to enter the top three meant that the entire team was very outstanding. It was very likely that they would make their country stronger in the future.
“Third place, Feng Wu!”
The voice of the Spirit of the Mystic Realm was dignified, “The Heavenly Phoenix Feather is the reward!”
As soon as the name appeared on the jade tablet, a fiery red feather with a phoenix cry descended from the sky and landed in front of Feng Wu.
“It’s actually this reward!”
“This Heavenly Phoenix Feather was provided by the ancient demons when they partic.i.p.ated in the Immortal opportunity meeting back then. They only took it out after so many years.”
“Incredible. This is an ancient treasure. It’s rare in this world.”
Feng Wu accepted the reward happily and bowed respectfully, “Thank you for the gift.”
She happily held a colorful feather. It contained a divine power of the celestial phoenix, which was beneficial to her and her country.
Swoosh!
Song Shi had just appeared in the crowd when he heard Feng Wu’s delighted voice. He pursed his lips and said, “That old man didn’t ask me where I wanted to go.”
In the depths of the s.p.a.ce, the old man had directly brought him back to the mystic realm, making it impossible for him to undergo the s.p.a.ce Storm again…
“The second place, Lei Gensheng, is rewarded with the Nine Dragons Lightning Spirit Mace!”
At this moment, the second place was revealed. Many people in the waiting crowd were surprised.
“What’s going on? The Thunder Kingdom isn’t number one?”
“I remember that their points exceeded two thousand and two hundred. They seemed to be first before the end.”
“What happened? Who overtook us at the last moment?!”
Lei Gensheng was also frowning. He should be first.
Roar!
Nine silver lightning dragons suddenly darted out of the sky and swam in the void. After gathering, they turned into a mysterious silver Mace with a destructive aura.
“Nine Dragons Lightning Spirit Mace, this is a superior-grade spiritual weapon. It was refined by an ancient refining nation. I didn’t expect it to still be here. How many treasures are stored in this mystic realm?”
“In the past tens of thousands of years, if they haven’t used up all the treasures the ancient cultivators provided, they will probably have acc.u.mulated more than a thousand supreme treasures.”
“I wonder who the first place will be. I can’t think of anyone for a while.”
Everyone discussed the final ranking and wondered who was the first place this time.
“First place, Song Shi, will be rewarded with one immortal technique!”
Lei Gensheng raised his head, “Impossible. His points are not as high as mine. How did he get first place?”
He said angrily, “When I was teleported, my points were definitely first. There must be something wrong.”
“The trial has ended. It will re-open in a hundred years!”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm did not explain to Lei Gensheng at all, nor did it bother to explain. As the Void twisted like water, everything related to the Mystic Realm disappeared. Everyone was thrown onto a wasteland and looked at each other.
