This game is unusual.

Chapter 1987 Accepting a Disciple

The first round of the Ascension Conference was a melee, and in a short period of time, tens of thousands of people were eliminated, leaving only a thousand.

The second round of the Ascension Conference adopts a double-elimination system. You will not be eliminated if you lose one game, but you will be eliminated if you lose two games.

In this round, 99% of the people were eliminated, leaving only the top ten who could enter the third round.

The third round of the Ascension Conference adopts a round-robin system.

  In the third round, each contestant will compete with the other nine contestants once. The winner will get one point and the loser will get zero points. In the end, the contestant with the highest points will become the champion of this Ascension Conference, obtain two Essence of the Universe, and become the brightest new star in the entire heaven!

When the ethereal voice belonging to the living being system finished explaining the rules, Jing Yuan pursed his lips and said, "I don't understand one thing."

No one answered.

Jing Yuan continued, "According to the rules, only the first place winner can get two Essence of the Universe, and the second to tenth place winners can only get one Essence of the Universe. The rewards for the second and tenth place winners are actually the same. This is a bit unfair."

Still no one answered.

Jing Yuan's somewhat childish face looked normal.

Because he was just complaining and didn't expect anyone to answer his question.

As a result, when he put this matter behind him and gently stroked his ridiculously large black sword, thinking about how to deal with the next round-robin match, a gentle voice sounded in his ears: "There must be a difference between the second place and the tenth place. There is also a difference between the essence of the universe and the essence of the universe. There are differences in size and purity. The essence of the universe that the second place can get is definitely of better quality than the essence of the universe that the tenth place can get."

"I see." Jing Yuan nodded.

He looked up and asked, "Who are you?"

A gentle voice said, "I am the one who initiated this Ascension Conference."

Jing Yuan stood up, bowed to the void, and said respectfully: "Greetings to the Lord of Heaven!"

The gentle voice smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I have high hopes for you. You should work hard and see if you can get first place."

Jing Yuan nodded and said seriously: "I will try my best."

At this time, he showed a hesitant expression again.

"There is still some time before the game starts. If you have any questions, feel free to ask." Xiao Zhi's voice said gently.

Jing Yuan took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to say, "Lord of the Heaven Realm, your strength must be much stronger than mine. Are you a being above the High God?"

Xiao Zhi's voice said gently, "Yes."

Jing Yuan mustered up his courage and asked, "Are you the strongest person in the heaven?"

Xiao Zhi's voice was still gentle: "Yes."

Jing Yuan showed a hint of anticipation on his face: "After the competition, can you give me some pointers on the path of cultivation?"

On the road to the immortal level, Xiao Zhi has no one to guide him and can only rely on his own thinking.

The same was true for Jing Yuan. He was also confused about the road ahead and desperately wanted a guide who could give him some pointers.

"Okay, no problem." Xiao Zhi's voice agreed readily.

After that, Xiao Zhi's voice added: "But I have conditions."

"You say." Jing Yuan said with some excitement and nervousness.

The voice belonging to Xiao Zhi said: "I can only instruct my own people. If you want to get my guidance, you need to join my Dachang World and take me as your master."

At this time, above the gray clouds in the distance, other people were also paying attention to Jing Yuan's situation through the translucent light curtain in front of them.

The conversation between Jing Yuan and Xiao Zhi was heard clearly by everyone.

Linyuan Divine Lord couldn't help but say: "God, you are shameless!"

"It's really shameless!" Hong Zu couldn't help but hissed, "Too shameless! The method of becoming a cosmic-level player has long been no secret in our circle of players. Lord, you actually used this to trick Jing Yuan into joining your Dachang World!"

"Shameless!" The masters of other powerful halls also denounced Xiao Zhi.

"Shameless!" Even Xiao Zhi's most loyal supporter, Yang Xi, couldn't help but add a remark.

Despite being denounced by everyone, Xiao Zhi had a calm expression on his face and said, "You can't say that. The game hasn't started yet. You can also try to talk to him and let him join your world."

"Shameless! We are not like you who can talk to him easily from such a distance!" said the Original Ancestor.

"You can fly over and communicate with him. I'm not stopping you." Xiao Zhi touched his nose.

"What are we talking about? It's such a long distance, by the time we fly over, the opportunity will be gone!" said Heisha.

Just as everyone was denouncing Xiao Zhi, Jing Yuan, who was sitting on the white clouds, was a little hesitant when faced with the conditions offered by Xiao Zhi.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Kong Tian laughed and said, "Lord, this little guy actually hesitated."

Emperor Meng Tian stroked his chin and said, "Is this little fellow so arrogant that he thinks the Lord of Heaven is not worthy of being his master?"

Xiao Zhi didn't say anything.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jing Yuan mustered up the courage to say, "Lord God, you are the Lord of the Heaven Realm. It would be my honor if I could become your disciple, but can I only become your disciple without joining your Great Chang World?"

Xiao Zhi's voice said gently, "Of course you can. You don't want to join my world, is it because you can't bear to leave your own world?"

"Yes." Jing Yuan said honestly.

Xiao Zhi's voice said gently, "This is just a small matter. You choose to stay in Changshan Realm. This is your freedom. I won't force you."

  "Thank you, Master!" Jing Yuan immediately bowed and saluted deeply towards the void in front of him!

The voice belonging to Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "Fight hard next time and strive to get a good ranking. You are the disciple of the Lord of Heaven, so you can't embarrass me, your master."

Jing Yuan said respectfully: "Master, rest assured, I will never embarrass you!"

Above the gray clouds, Xiao Zhi’s face was full of smiles.

This was the first time in his life that he had accepted a disciple.

How should I put it? This feeling is quite magical.

Yang Xi was the first to congratulate: "Congratulations, brother, congratulations on having such a good disciple."

Others also spoke up and congratulated Xiao Zhi.

However, when many people expressed their congratulations, there was a hint of sourness in their tone.

After all, Jing Yuan's performance was too dazzling, and he practiced the extremely rare law of time.

For a genius like this, with the blessing of the essence of the universe, it is very likely that he will become a cosmic-level powerhouse in the future.

Unfortunately, such a genius did not fall into their hands in the end.

There was no way. They could not snatch disciples from Xiao Zhi, the lord of the heaven.

Not to mention that they are still far away from the competition venue and cannot touch this Jingyuan.

Even if they could get in touch with Jing Yuan, they couldn't compete with Xiao Zhi. In the absence of any intersection between the two, anyone who wasn't a fool would choose Xiao Zhi, the Lord of the Heavens...

Soon after, the battle for Jingyuan began.

In a battle space formed by the interweaving of white clouds, Jing Yuan's figure emerged out of thin air, and in his hand, he was holding a black sword that was somewhat exaggeratedly large.

What he was facing was a small black ball only the size of a thumb.

This little black ball just floated a hundred miles away from Jingyuan, motionless.

This is a member of the Heisha clan, and he is the second strongest person in the Heisha clan besides Heisha.

"Are you Jing Yuan?" A cold voice devoid of any emotion came from the small black ball.

"Well, I'm Jing Yuan, and you are?" Jing Yuan slowly raised the black sword in his hand.

"My name is Black God. Remember this name, because you will be defeated easily in my hands." said the cold voice.

"Okay, I got it. You come on." As he said that, Jing Yuan raised the black sword and stabbed it hard into the ground. Suddenly, a very faint ripple appeared, with the black sword as the center, and spread out in all directions.

"Time Divine Realm!" The Jade Spirit Giant who was watching the battle on the gray cloud said in a dull voice: "Lord, if possible, I want to study his Time Divine Realm."

Xiao Zhi said: "After the game, you can talk to him about this matter. As long as he has no objection, I have no objection either."

"Okay." The Jade Spirit Giant nodded.

In the battle space, Jing Yuan was gradually unfolding the Time Domain. His opponent, the Dark God of the Super Star Realm, was preparing for his killing move.

He was only the size of a thumb at first, but then he grew bigger and bigger, and soon became the size of a fist, and then the size of a head.

As the size of the Black God grew larger and larger, the space around him began to distort. The distorted space was quickly torn apart, and then rushed towards the endless dark ball that the Black God had transformed into.

At this time, the God of Darkness looked like a black hole, devouring all matter around it. Even the space was the object of this black hole. Even the white clouds interwoven into the ground were torn apart bit by bit, and then swirled around being swallowed by the God of Darkness.

The size of the Black God is still growing, and the range he affects is also getting larger and larger.

Jing Yuan stood motionless, maintaining the posture of sticking his knife into the ground, his eyes fixed firmly on the Dark God a hundred miles away.

  When the size of the Dark God reached twice the size of his head, he finally moved. He first moved back little by little. The space around him became seriously distorted and there were crackling sounds, as if an invisible bow was stretched to its limit!

"Jing Yuan, watch out!" The cold voice of the Black Nether God, devoid of any emotion, sounded again.

"Come on!" Jing Yuan shouted with a serious expression, his face tense.

As soon as Jing Yuan finished speaking, there was a slight buzzing sound. The black hole representing the Dark God, which was larger than his head, suddenly became blurry and then disappeared.

When it reappeared, the black hole had already crashed into the time domain unfolded by Jing Yuan!

After the black hole entered the realm of time, it was like a stone crashing into a lake, causing the water in the lake to surge violently.

Whether it was the black hole that crashed into the Jingyuan Divine Realm, or the disrupted space around it, everything turned into slow motion.

The speed is getting slower and slower.

In the blink of an eye, everything in front of him turned into a slow motion that even a cultivator in the Dao realm could see clearly.

At this moment, Jing Yuan's little face turned red and became a little distorted.

"Ah..." With a low roar, Jing Yuan pulled out the black sword that was stuck in the ground, then dragged the black sword backwards and rushed towards the black hole that was slowly moving not far away.

With every step Jing Yuan took, his speed would increase. After taking dozens of steps in a row, Jing Yuan's speed had reached a level that even Xiao Zhi found a little exaggerated.

Xiao Zhi immediately "saw" that Jing Yuan's speed had not actually changed, he was just speeding up time for himself.

Slow down the flow of time around your enemies and speed up your own time.

These are what Jing Yuan did.

In an instant, Jing Yuan had approached the black hole.

At this moment, he was like a scene in a movie that had been accelerated a hundred times. His whole speed was so fast that it seemed unreal. He jumped up in an instant, then swung the hilt of the knife with both hands and slashed at the black hole in front of him.

The black sword suddenly became blurry.

Then, there was a series of explosions.

As Xiao Zhi sensed, Jing Yuan slashed at the black hole in front of him hundreds of times in an instant.

Every blow was struck with full force and great power.

This frequency is simply exaggerated.

The black hole transformed by the Black Nether God was like a living target. It did not dodge or evade, allowing Jing Yuan's attacks to fall on itself.

Jing Yuan continued to swing his sword.

Suddenly, the black hole in front of Jing Yuan disappeared out of thin air.

Whoosh! The black long sword in Jing Yuan's hand froze in the air.

The ethereal voice belonging to the Living Beings System sounded at this moment: "Congratulations to contestant Jing Yuan, you have defeated your opponent."

A smile appeared on Jing Yuan's little face, his body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, dark golden divine blood flowed out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Obviously, such exaggerated acceleration and deceleration times put a huge strain on him.

This meant that even though he was suppressing his opponent throughout the game, he was also seriously injured when the opponent was eliminated.

The playing space quickly collapsed.

Jing Yuan returned to his white cloud again.

The voice of the Living Beings System sounded in Jing Yuan's ears again: "Contestant Jing Yuan, do you need to go to the Tree of Life to heal your wounds?"

"Yeah." Jing Yuan nodded.

In the early stages of the second round, he won all the games without any need for healing.

But in the middle and late stages, especially after he broke into the top 30, he had to hang on the Tree of Life for a while after almost every game to recover from his injuries and eliminate the side effects of excessive use of the law of time.

Above the gray clouds, the voice of the Great and Mighty Buddha sounded beside Xiao Zhi's ears: "How is it?"

Xiao Zhi replied in a voice transmission: "This kid Jing Yuan can indeed have some influence on my cultivation."

Yaoyang, in the form of a fire dragon, coiled his body and turned his head to look at Heisha: "The Black Nether God has been defeated."

"Yeah." Heisha nodded: "He was completely suppressed by the law of time, so his defeat is reasonable."

"Who do you think can defeat Jing Yuan?" asked the original ancestor.
