Chapter 1975 New Calendar Year 50

Time flies, and before we knew it, it has been the 50th year of the new calendar.

The so-called new calendar is counted from the moment the universe restarts and a new era is born, and the lost 379 days are also counted.

The launch of the new calendar means saying goodbye to the past and starting anew.

All the worlds under the rule of heaven have adopted the new calendar.

When the time came to the 50th year of the new calendar, the cosmic-class strong men of the Strongest Hall had not found the essence of the universe for almost five years.

This means that the essence of the universe in the chaotic void has almost been "salvaged" completely.

Even if there are some, the number is estimated to be in the single digits.

At this time, the routine meetings of the Strongest Hall had been extended to once a month.

During the monthly meeting, Emperor Meng Tian suggested to Xiao Zhi: "We have almost finished searching for the essence of the universe. Lord, you are the pillar of our heaven. I don't think it is necessary to waste time on this. Go back to heaven as soon as possible."

"Yes, brother, let's go back to heaven. Leave the search for the essence of the universe to us." Yang Xi also said.

"I second your proposal, Lord, you should return to heaven."

"Lord God, you can just practice peacefully in the heaven. Your strength is related to the survival of the entire heaven."

Everyone spoke up, urging Xiao Zhi to return to heaven as soon as possible.

Seeing everyone saying so, Xiao Zhi no longer insisted, nodded, and said: "Okay, in three days, I will return to heaven."

The reason why it is three days is because he still needs three days to explore the chaotic void where he is.

Three days later, Xiao Zhi boarded a floating boat and flew towards the heaven.

This also means that his journey into the Chaos Void is coming to an end.

During this trip to the Chaos Void, he stayed in the dark and deep Chaos Void for almost fifty years.

Fifty years seems insignificant to many cosmic-level powerful beings.

But for Xiao Zhi, it was already a very long period of time.

You know, in the last era, he only lived for more than a hundred years.

During this long period of nearly fifty years, Xiao Zhi obtained a total of sixteen essences of the universe.

Of the sixteen essences of the universe, he has swallowed three so far. Two of them have been completely digested, and most of the last one has been consumed, leaving only a small half.

After taking three capsules of Essence of the Universe in succession, Xiao Zhi's strength made great progress.

He could clearly feel that he was only a thin layer of window paper away from the legendary immortal level.

And it was this thin layer of window paper that had trapped him for almost two years...

Up to now, the heaven has harvested a total of 105 cosmic essences.

The one who harvested the most cosmic essence was still the Great and Powerful Buddha. He found a total of 29 cosmic essences by himself.

Ranked second is Xiao Zhi, with 16 medals.

The third-ranked Lord of the Abyss only has 8...

Xiao Zhi was quite satisfied with his current achievements.

After all, the number of cosmic essences has exceeded one hundred.

This can be considered a great harvest.

In addition to the great harvest of cosmic essence, there is another piece of good news: After Yang Xu ate the cosmic essence that belonged to Yang Xi, he went through a long digestion process of almost 50 years. Only a small half of the cosmic essence was left in his body, and the evolution of his divine realm was almost complete.

According to Yang Xu, of the five elements in his divine world, except for the water element which did not meet the standards, the other four elements have all been perfected.

Once the water law is perfected, his divine realm will become a real world!

And this is the most important step to becoming cosmic level, and also the most difficult step.

Once you have taken this step, you are only one step away from reaching the cosmic level.

Yang Xu is about to become cosmic level.

The reason why his progress was so terrifying was due to the essence of the universe he swallowed.

The essence of the universe is effective at the cosmic level, and its effect will be even stronger for the god level below the cosmic level.

However, no one would waste the extremely precious essence of the universe on a god-level being.

Yang Xi is an exception...

The great progress shown by Yang Xu also gave Xiao Zhi some ideas.

In addition to being used at the cosmic level, these cosmic essences can also be used at the divine level.

For example, the top gods in heaven.

They have been stuck in the high god realm for a long time, and their accumulation is extremely deep, but they have been unable to break through that layer of confinement and become cosmic level.

  The essence of the universe is a great opportunity for them to make a breakthrough and become cosmic level!

"Perhaps, we can hold a martial arts competition in the entire heaven." Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged on the floating flying boat, supporting his head with his hands, thinking silently in his heart.

'All high-level gods in the heavens, whether they are indigenous high gods or high-level players, can participate in this martial arts competition.'

'The Strongest Hall can select the ten most powerful high-level gods through this competition.'

'Of these ten high-level gods, the first one will receive two cosmic essences, and the rest will receive one cosmic essence.'

'In this way, it is very likely that several more universe-class strong men will be born in the heaven.'

"We have to give the top gods in heaven some chances, right?"

'Anyway, in this era, the heavens have harvested a lot of cosmic essence, and it is still meaningful to use ten of them to hold such a martial arts competition.'

"Okay, let's do it!" Xiao Zhi thought.

'Let's bring this up at the next regular meeting.'

Xiao Zhi was not worried that this matter would not pass.

Because, as early as the last era, he had already been the one who had the final say in the heavens.

As long as he is determined to promote something, there is nothing he cannot accomplish.

The same goes for this matter.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Zhi wanted to hold such a martial arts competition was because he had some selfish motives.

After Yang Xu swallowed the Essence of the Universe and made rapid progress, he wanted to give Si Wei a piece of the Essence of the Universe. And Luo Yiyi, he also wanted to give Luo Yiyi a piece of the Essence of the Universe.

And Zhen Lan, Hu Yang and others...

Even if he is God, if he directly hands over the essence of the universe to Si Wei and others, it will inevitably cause criticism, which is not conducive to the unity of the Strongest Palace.

But if the essence of the universe were to be handed over to Si Wei and the others in the form of a martial arts tournament, the situation would be different.

All high-level gods can participate in the martial arts competition, and victory or defeat depends on one's own ability.

No, we can relax the conditions a bit and set the conditions as follows: all gods can participate in this martial arts competition, then it will be lively.

'Yes! That's right!'

'After all, there are always some geniuses who have the ability to fight across levels. If a novice god can defeat a high god across levels, even if this novice god cannot make it into the top ten, he still has very high growth potential and is worth cultivating! '

"It all depends on whether there is such a genius in my heaven..."

Time passes day by day.

The monthly routine meeting has begun again.

And Xiao Zhi himself was still in the chaotic void, on his way back to heaven.

In the Origin Heaven, in the main hall of the Strongest Palace.

When Xiao Zhi expressed his thoughts, everyone's face showed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment of silence, Ling Ao said, "I have no objection to holding a martial arts competition to select geniuses for key training, but isn't it a bit too extravagant to use the essence of the universe as a reward?"

Xiao Zhi did not directly answer Ling Ao's question, but looked around at everyone and said, "Ling Ao thinks the reward is too extravagant, what do you think?"

As soon as Xiao Zhi said this, Yang Xi was the first to speak: "I think this reward is very suitable. After all, those who can advance to the top ten in a competition of this level are all top-level high-level gods. Top-level high-level gods like these are only one step away from the cosmic level. These ten, no, it should be eleven, cosmic essences can be taken out. Perhaps we can have several more cosmic-level powerhouses in our heaven, and our heaven will become even more powerful!"

After Yang Xi finished speaking, Hong Zu also said in a hoarse voice: "I also think this reward is very suitable. There are many geniuses among my people. I am sure there are also many geniuses among your people. Don't you want to give the geniuses in your own people a chance?"

When Hong Zu said this, many people's faces changed slightly, and they showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.

  Hong Zu was right. Among those present, who’s clan didn’t have a few geniuses?

Many of the cosmic-level beings present had joined the Heavenly Realm from other great realms. When they joined the Heavenly Realm, they brought many of their clansmen with them.

Because the number of places for guidance was limited, many of their ordinary members died helplessly at the end of the era. But those elite members of their tribe who were above the god level, every one of them, all got the chance to be guided and all survived.

Not to mention the geniuses in the clan.

If this martial arts competition can be held, it will indeed be a great opportunity for these geniuses.

"The reward is appropriate, I don't think there is any problem." Lord Linyuan said.

"I also think the reward is appropriate, there is no problem." Lord Ziyuan also spoke shortly afterwards.

In fact, almost everyone present could see that the Lord wanted to hold this martial arts competition for Si Wei and the high gods in the Dachang world.

But there are a few powerful gods in everyone's world.

As long as this martial arts competition can be conducted fairly and justly, the geniuses under their command will all have a chance.

Everyone spoke up and said they had no objection to the rewards for this martial arts competition.

Even Lingao took back what he had just said, saying that he had not considered it carefully and did not understand the deep meaning of God, and he had to go back and reflect deeply...

The reward was decided.

Next, everyone began to discuss other issues.

For example, whether some special beings should participate in this martial arts competition.

For example, Yang Xu, for example, Luo Yiyi.

Then Yun Shen said, "Yang Xu has already swallowed a cosmic essence. I don't think it's necessary for him to participate in this martial arts competition. You can leave the opportunity to others who need it."

Xiao Zhi frowned slightly.

However, before Xiao Zhi could speak, Yang Xi asked unhappily, "Is my second brother a god in heaven?"

"Yes." Yun Shen nodded.

Yang Xi said: "Since my second brother is a god from heaven, why can't he participate in this martial arts competition? Are you going to deprive my second brother of his qualification to participate just because of your words?"

Yun Shen frowned and said, "But Yang Xu has already swallowed a Universe Essence. You also said that with this Universe Essence, he should be able to step into the Universe level. In this case, he no longer needs a second Universe Essence."

Yang Xi stared at Yun Shen and said, "First of all, the cosmic essence that my second brother swallowed was given to him by me, not by you. It has nothing to do with you. Secondly, who said that once you break through to the cosmic level, you don't need the cosmic essence? You are also at the cosmic level, don't you need the cosmic essence?"

Yun Shen said in a deep voice: "Once Yang Xu breaks through to the cosmic level, he will be considered to have just entered the cosmic level. Beings who have just entered the cosmic level will not see much improvement by using the essence of the universe."

Yang Xi sneered and said, "As for you, although you are not a beginner in the universe level, you are still a long way from the immortal level. According to your logic, you won't get much improvement by using the essence of the universe, so there is no need for you to use the essence of the universe."

When Yang Xi said this, she didn't give Yun Shen any face at all.

Although Yun Shen is at the cosmic level, he is powerful, noble and high above everyone else.

But she is also cosmic level.

After so many years, Yang Xi has experienced a lot and is no longer the ignorant little girl who devoted herself to cultivation.

If anyone dares to bully her or her relatives, she will never swallow her anger and will definitely fight back.

"Yang Xi, it's a bit too much to say that." Ling Ao's face looked a little gloomy.

"Okay." Xiao Zhi said expressionlessly, "Since Yang Xu is a god from heaven, he is qualified to participate in the martial arts competition. This matter is settled. There is no need to discuss it further."

Xiao Zhi, the Lord of Heaven, has already made the decision, and no one can say anything more. If they say anything more, it would be an open provocation to Xiao Zhi, the Lord of Heaven.

After a moment of silence, everyone started discussing Luo Yiyi again.

It was Yun Shen who spoke again: "Emperor Kuntian is the Emperor of the Strongest Palace, so there is no need for him to lower his status and participate in this martial arts competition, right?"

Luo Yiyi pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yang Xi said: "Since Emperor Kuntian is the Emperor of Heaven, there is really no need for her to lower her status and participate in the martial arts competition. With her status as the Emperor of Heaven, she can directly obtain a Universe Essence. Is that okay?"

Yun Shen opened his mouth, but for a moment he was at a loss for words.

Ling Ao said calmly: "If Emperor Kuntian was still the Emperor of Heaven and lived in Heaven, she would naturally receive a Universe Essence as compensation, but she has decided to give up the Mountain and River State Map and withdraw from the Strongest Palace, so she can no longer enjoy this treatment from the Emperor."

Luo Yiyi pursed her lips.

Decades ago, after making a decision in her heart and discussing it with Xiao Zhi, she expressed her idea of ​​giving up the Shanhe Shejitu and withdrawing from the Zhiqiang Palace during a routine meeting.

Then everyone knew her idea.

It was Xiao Zhi who temporarily suppressed the matter and allowed her to continue to stay in the Strongest Hall and participate in the discussion...
