The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 117: The Commencement of Jun Lin's Banquet
The authority of the Star River Association exceeded the authority of the Kingdom.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion possessed a wealth that could rival an entire kingdom.
The Mo Clan had the strongest cultivators under the Heavenly Dipper Realm in the entire Chu Country.
These three great powers all held special positions within the Chu State. And they all gathered here today.
"The Divine Weapon Pavilion had never officially appeared before during the last Jun Lin Banquet." The people in the crowd were secretly speculating. But today, they actually showed up.
Why did the Divine Weapon Pavilion come here today?
Rumor has it that the Divine Weapon Pavilion placed tremendous importance on and held Qin Wentian in great respect. That day, amidst the blizzard, the Divine Weapon Pavilion stood by Qin Wentian's side in opposition to the 3rd Prince of Chu, Chu Tianjiao.
"Mo Clan also did not make an appearance in Jun Lin's last few banquets. Could it be that Mo Qingcheng wanted to participate in the competition later? '' Some people in the crowd curiously threw their gazes at the Mo Clan where they saw an exciting silhouette.
"Qingcheng, you're here too." Ye WuQue called Mo Qingcheng from where the Ye Clan was.
Mo Qingcheng calmly glanced in that direction, and did not bother to answer.
Ye WuQue was not angry, he was standing there as quietly as before. He, who was handsome and outstanding, naturally made her a major point of concern for many other young women. With such good looks, she would not lack admirers, and in the Royal Academy, there were even some women who had taken the initiative to seduce her.
However, for Ye WuQue who was only looking for perfection, only Mo Qingcheng was worthy enough to pair with him. However, Mo Qingcheng never showed any signs of interest or gave him a boost. She had once wanted to seduce Mo Qingcheng, but clearly, she had failed. Despite this, she gradually accepted the fact that she failed as she watched the other elites also fail one after another as they tried to seduce Mo Qingcheng.
But now, as Mo Qingcheng looked at Qin Wentian in a different light, he felt unhappiness and dissatisfaction in his heart. Moreover, in the past, the Ye Clan had conspired to bring Qin Wentian's fiancee to the Ye Clan.
In Ye WuQue's eyes, Autumn Snow naturally could not hold a candle to Mo Qingcheng, not to mention the fact that Autumn Snow was already a fallen genius. As for whether Fall Snow could still be a woman, she still needed to reconsider.
"The Royal Palace has arrived."
At this moment, the gazes of the crowd shifted, only to see a line of demonic beasts installed landing behind the area where the Emperor Seat was located. After which, a series of silhouettes casually walked up the stairs, climbing onto the best seats in the audience stand.
The one in the middle of the people from the Royal Clan was none other than Chu Tianjiao.
Jun Lin's banquet this year was led by a Jun. (Emperor/Prince)
Chu Tianjiao was seated in the Emperor Seat of the Chu Emperor District. This showed that, from today onwards, Emperor Chu was basically announcing to the entire world that Chu Tianjiao would be his successor.
This was a silent announcement, indicating that Chu Tianjiao becoming Emperor Chu was only a matter of time.
"It seems like Emperor Chu's current body can collapse at any moment." Many people speculated in their hearts. Otherwise, why would the Emperor not be present to lead the start of Jun Lin's Banquet, and even grant Chu Tianjiao the right to sit in the Emperor's Seat?
And on both sides of Chu Tianjiao, there were still a few other figures.
Luo Qianqiu stood to the left, standing shoulder to shoulder with a few other youths. And in front of Luo Qianqiu, there was another figure. It seemed that the figure was elder Luo Qianqiu
Upon seeing this, a sharp glint of light flickered in the eyes of those who knew Luo Qianqiu's background. If one were to know this background, they would naturally make a clear conclusion as to where these numbers came from.
The eyes of those people had heavy cues within them. They came from the Nine Mystical Palace, which was none other than a silhouette standing behind Chu's shadow.
And as for the true direction of Chu Tianjiao, there was another silhouette that emitted an incredible air. He casually stood there with a smile plastered on his face. His attitude did not lose out in the slightest to Chu Tianjiao, giving people the feeling that this person was also a dragon among humans.
This person was the Crown Prince of Snowcloud Country, Xiao Lu, one of the Duo Prides of Snowcloud. His authority in the Snowcloud Country was not inferior to Chu Tianjiao's authority in Chu.
There was also a group of youths standing around Xiao Lu. They were none other than the most talented Snowcloud elites: Sikong Mingyue, from the Duo Prides, as well as the Three Swords and Seven Nights Snowcloud.
At this moment, all the figures in the spectator stands up, as they directed their gaze to Chu Tianjiao who was seated in the Emperor Seat. In the past, the start of Jun Lin Banquet would always start with this etiquette where the spectators would rise in respect. But today, the figure they were looking for was none other than Chu Tianjiao.
"Everyone, please sit down." Qin Wentian waved his hand, laughing as he spoke.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The crowd bowed, as they sat down.
"Everyone, please enjoy the party." Chu Tianjiao spoke politely, as she took the lead, raising her cup toast to the crowd.
At the same time, a group of people separately headed towards the nine towering platforms in the middle of the stands, setting up tables and chairs, and paper and pens.
"Today I feel so flattered that, Snowcloud Country, in cooperation with our great Chu, is hosting this Jun Lin banquet together.I believe that this year's event, this year's event, will be, held in my Chu State, is one of unprecedented majesty. Now, elites at level 5 of the Artery Circulation and above, you can all continue the nine towering platforms and register for the competition. "
Chu Tianjiao smiled as she spoke to the crowd. The lowest qualification to participate in Jun Lin's Banquet was for one to have a cultivation base at the 5th layer of the Arterial Circulation. If a cultivation had a lower cultivation base, there would be no battle at all.
“There are nine towering platforms; you can all choose the platform you want to register. After that, each platform would start a series of elimination battles. Your opponent will be randomly chosen by the judge, and the battle will last until only two people are left. Thus, with nine platforms, a total of 18 people would be able to advance in the end. "The old-looking figure beside Chu Tianjiao could be seen speaking. “18 people who escaped this elimination battle would enter the next round of the competition. The top nine ranks within Jun Lin Banquet would be determined this time around. "
The rules of Jun Lin Banquet were very simple. The nine towering platforms would simultaneously start their battles, and the elimination battle of each platform would result in only two contestants remaining.
Due to the existence of nine towering platforms, people whose eyes were glued to the grabs of the top nine ranks could register for battles on different platforms. This would allow them to avoid the battle in the elimination fight in the first round. It also meant that those who fought for the top nine rank could not be eliminated earlier.
Beside Chu Tianjiao, the person in charge could be seen calmly speaking to Luo Qianqiu, who was standing by his side .. Immediately, Luo Qianqiu lightly nodded her head.
This time, the top ranker of Banquet Jun Lin would definitely belong to him.
As he stepped forward, Luo Qianqiu's body towered high in the sky, akin to transforming it into a huge roc that descended from the heavens, and landed on top of the most lofty and towering platform.
Luo Qianqiu had chosen to register on the towering platform first.
At the same time, a shadow appeared beside Luo Qianqiu. This person was none other than Sikong Mingyue. Locking his gaze with Luo Qianqiu's eyes, one could see a brilliant light twinkling in the depths of their eyes.
"Both Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue had the greatest possibility of obtaining the top rank in Jun Lin's Banquet this year. One could deduce this fact from the betting level set by Heaven's Wonder. It was unexpected that the two of them actually signed up for the same towering platform. ”
Everyone's eyes were filled with concentration. If this was the case, the judge wouldn't let them compete with each other that quickly? Otherwise, they would have watched one of the seeded contestants be eliminated, and it wouldn't have been a very entertaining show.
It was as if the two winners of the first towering platform had been set before. Other than Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue, there would be no other elites who signed up for the same platform.
The participating people continued walking towards the nine towering platforms, registering their names.
“Information from Heaven's Wonder is indeed accurate. This time, the 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital – Immortal Drunk Wine and Ye WuQue, did not prepare to compete in Jun Lin Banquet. They should have broken into Yuanfu already. And those in the bottom five of the 10 prodigies have chosen different platforms from each other to sign up. "
“Sikong Mingyue has registered, and two of the Three Swords, as well as five of the Seven Nights, have done so as well. Their martial prowess should have already reached the peak of the Arterial Circulation. In addition, they also chose a separate platform to sign up for, and chose to spread themselves. "
“Some elites from the Star Emperor Academy have started their registration as well. I heard that the prowess of Orchon, Luo Huan, and Luo Cheng are not much weaker when compared to Jiang Xiu. "
"That's Hou Tie and Leng Ya from General Martial Palace Godly. From their betting levels, it seemed that the two of them had also received Heaven Wonder's recognition and had the chance to obtain a position in the top nine rankings in Jun Lin Banquet. "
The information from Heaven's Wonder was terrifying. They could even obtain information about the sealed genius disciples of the G.o.dly General Martial Palace.
That was not all of them; at this moment, an inn located near Emperor Chu District was actually a branch of Heaven's Wonder. And during watching the battle, you could just run there to check the level of the bet, which increases your bet.
After a certain period of time, when almost everyone participating in the battle had already walked onto their platform, the spectators realized something special. Those who had the chance to obtain the top nine ranking from Banquet Jun Lin always seemed to avoid the platform with most people listed there. It was clearly seen that they were observing each other, and it was as if they were sharing some sort of tacit understanding.
From the level of betting set by Heaven, those who got the most recognition were: Snowcloud Country: Sikong Mingyue from Duo Prides, the 2nd Sword from the 3rd Sword, and Snowcloud Country, and the 3rd and 7th Nights, a total of five of the Seven Nights.
As for the ones from the Star Emperor Academy: Luo Qianqiu, Orchon, Jiang Xiu, Luo Huan, Luo Cheng. Luo Huan and Luo Cheng's inclusion into those who got the acknowledgement came as a surprise. However, the payouts for their betting rates are higher, which suggests that their chances of getting top nine rankings are not as great when compared to the others.
Royal Academy: ranked 8th in 10 prodigies, Shi Jun, as well as Chu's little prince, Chu Chen.
General G.o.dly Martial Palace: Hou Tie, Leng Ya
Divine Wind Academy: ranked 6th out of 10 prodigies, Jiang Feng.
And, ranked 7th out of 10 prodigies, Ye Zhi, as well as the 9th rank out of 10 prodigies, Kuang Sheng.
Ye Zhi, was the adopted daughter of the Ye Clan; as for Kuang Sheng, she was a student belonging to the Frenzied Sabre Sect, a power faction in the Royal Capital.
These people listed, if one ignored Luo Huan and Luo Cheng, resulting in a total of 18. And for those who are more observant, they will realize that these 18 people happen to split into pairs based on each of the towering platforms. .
And at this moment, on the towering platform furthest away from the Emperor Seat, which was also the closest platform to the spectator stands, a silhouette suddenly appeared, creating a huge commotion.
"Qin Wentian also came to participate in Jun Lin Banquet, signing up for the 9th towering platform."
Chu Tianjiao averted her gaze, an interested expression appearing in her eyes.
"Qin Wentian." After witnessing Qin Wentian's appearance, Ye WuQue subconsciously glanced at the pair of father and daughter standing behind his Ye Clan.
In the Mo Clan, a smile could be seen on Mo Qingcheng's face, as he whispered, "Gambatte."
"Qingcheng, I heard that you have been quite close to the little guy from the Qin Clan recently." At this moment, the middle-aged figure beside Mo Qingcheng chanted in a low voice, causing Mo Qingcheng's expression to stiffen. She laughs. "Don't you all say that in the past, the Mo Clan and the Qin Clan had a very close relationship? I clicked well with Qin Wentian, and thus, we naturally became friends. ”
"Oh, is that really the problem?" The middle-aged figure smiled in response to his daughter.
"What are you thinking?" A tinge of reddish color involuntarily appeared on his face as Mo Qingcheng saw his father staring at him. This made her look extremely charming, a peerless beauty that could even topple an empire!
