Chapter 6121: The Dao Assembly Begins
There was evidently a high level of attention paid to the Holy Assembly.
After all, it concerned their own interests.
“Wushuang, we were just waiting for you!” everyone called out.
Jian Wushuang also took his seat.
He chatted leisurely with everyone.
From the expressions on their faces, it was clear that they were all confident.
A month passed in catching up.
The Dao Assembly arrived as well.
The event was held on Yuanyang Island in the Heaven Realm.
To avoid suspicion, “Luo,” the host, had Zhen Ling preside over it personally.
When Jian Wushuang saw Zhen Ling again, he sensed divine power from him.
In fact, he had already learned from his conversations with Wu Zuo and others that Zhen Ling had made a great contribution in the matter of Mie Sheng and was rewarded with a divine body by the Realm King.
Now, he was almost like a practitioner.
His divine power was also increasing; he could now be considered a Universe Master at the seven Tribulations level.
If he could merge the Origin Source Sea of Qishen Temple into his divine body, he would at least have the combat power of the Eighth Tribulation level.
No wonder Zhen Ling was always cheerful.
The Dao Assembly officially began with Zhen Ling’s announcement.
It was divided into qualifying matches and arena matches.
The most crucial part was the Thunder Sky Match.
The qualifying match was essentially a screening.
If one failed in the qualifying match, it could only be said they were too weak.
However, the qualifying standard this time was extremely exaggerated.
“The Divine Desolation Tower!”
It had nine levels.
The Dao Lords participating in the assembly had to climb the tower within one day, and the fastest hundred would enter the arena matches.
When this rule was announced, Jian Wushuang and the others found it a bit exaggerated.
The nine-level Desolation Tower.
The first level had a desolate beast of the Tier 4 Emperor.
The second level had 10 of them.
By the fifth level, there were 10,000.
From the sixth level onwards, the desolate beasts were at the Tier Emperor level.
The seventh level had 10.
The eighth level had 100.
The ninth level was the most terrifying, directly having a desolate beast at the Tier 6 Emperor’s level.
Not all Dao Lords could match the pinnacle.
Without much time to think, the qualifying matches began.
Jian Wushuang had confidence in his three disciples, knowing their abilities.
This round was not difficult for them.
But for others, it was challenging.
The Divine Tower opened.
All the disciples entered their respective Divine Desolation Towers.
Wan Shan led the way, flashing past the first level.
The second level was the same.
He directly reached the fifth level in one go.
But he only spent a breath on the fifth level.
Then he reached the sixth level.
With almost no pause, he reached the ninth level.
It was only on the ninth level that Wan Shan spent the time of one incense stick.
The rest combined didn’t take one incense stick’s time.
He originally thought he would be the first to come out.
But when Wan Shan was teleported out, he saw three figures.
Luo’s first disciple, “Xie Yue”
Hu Qing’s prized disciple, “Golden Body Arhat”
And one of Wu Zuo’s disciples, the masked Dao Lord.
Among these three, except for Xie Yue, he hadn’t paid attention to the others and didn’t expect them to be faster than him.
However, he hadn’t used his full strength, not even the Ancient Change.
“Ji Tang, Shen Jian, hurry up!”
He knew the strength of the two; passing was no problem, but he was just worried they might waste time without using their full power.
A quarter-hour passed, and dozens had already finished.
At this moment, Ji Tang and Shen Jian leisurely walked out.
Seeing so many people, their faces were full of surprise.
They obviously didn’t expect so many to be faster than them.
“What, even faster than you!” Ji Tang was even more shocked when he heard Wan Shan was only fourth.
Even Jian Wushuang and others watching found it unbelievable.
“It seems this arena battle will be very exciting!”
Because the Dao Lords had the combat power of the pinnacle.
This would definitely be an exceptionally rare competition.
Disciples taught by 18 super beings, and they were all personally taught disciples, truly unprecedented.
The nine-level Desolation Tower quickly screened out the top hundred.
All the personal disciples who participated in the Dao meeting actually had the ability to pass.
It was just a matter of time.
Some were particularly unlucky, hiding some of their strength, thus being just a little slower.
When they walked out of the Desolate Tower, their auras had changed.
Wu Zuo, who was sitting on the spectator platform, was no different.
He had the most disciples and often told them to be low-key in conduct but high-profile in actions.
This time it seemed he had failed in teaching conduct.
Actually, the top one hundred, even without hiding their strength, were the strongest.
So the arena competition began as usual.
Based on drawing lots.
The first round had fifty battles.
The second round had twenty-five battles.
In the third round, there were byes, with only twelve battles.
In the fourth round, there were also byes, depending on who had better luck.
Entering the top ten by luck.
This was deliberately arranged by Zhen Ling.
Luck also represented strength.
However, the personal disciples who could enter the top one hundred did not deign to rely on byes.
The draw for the first round was concluded.
The three disciples of Jian Wushuang drew strong opponents.
Moreover, they were all Wu Zuo’s disciples.
There was no choice, even after so many of his disciples were eliminated, Wu Zuo still had more than thirty disciples entering the top one hundred.
Each had supreme combat power.
But even within supreme combat power, there were strengths and weaknesses.
50 battles began simultaneously.
This was the top-notch showdown.
The duration of the battles was not resolved in one move; some even lasted several hours before a victor was determined.
The losing side was only a move short.
Even Ji Tang and Shen Jian won with great difficulty.
However, these two did not use the ultimate skills taught by Jian Wushuang.
Only Wan Shan, from the beginning, displayed the Ancient Transformation and directly crushed his opponent.
“Ancient Transformation!” Seeing this familiar name, Hu Qing turned and said, “This should be the improved version of the Eternal Transformation!”
Jian Wushuang did not hide it and said calmly, “Pretty much, it’s a divine power ultimate skill more suitable for Dao Lords.”
“With this ultimate skill, it shouldn’t be much of a problem for Wan Shan to enter the top ten this time!”
Everyone was generous with their praise.
A disciple trained by Jian Wushuang being able to enter the top ten was normal.
No way around it, the master himself was a freak.
The records created by the Dao Lord had not been broken by anyone to this day.
Few even came close.
Only Wan Shan, Xie Yue, and others could approach the brilliance left by Jian Wushuang.
“Let’s wait and see!”
Jian Wushuang did not find Wan Shan’s performance impressive.
Compared to the trial, Wan Shan’s suppression power had decreased significantly.
During the trial, he completely crushed his way to first place.
It would be embarrassing if he couldn’t take first place after becoming his disciple.
And it would be Jian Wushuang’s embarrassment.
The first round of arena battles ended quickly.
The second round began soon after.
There was not much delay.
The Origin Source and divine power consumed by the Dao Lords could be quickly recovered.
Continuous fighting was also to maintain their form.
The draw for the second round was unfavorable for Jian Wushuang.
Among his three disciples, two drew seed contestants.
Ji Ye from the Ji family drew Ji Tang.
Wanyan Lie from the Wanyan family drew Shen Jian.
Only Wan Shan’s opponent was unknown but equally strong.
