Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 690: Emperor Xia, Test
While Diko was secretly studying the Great Xia World's boundary-suppressing formation, teams based on counties from the 3,600 counties and the four oceans entered the imperial city one after another, and then landed in various places on the square in an orderly manner, quickly forming a large spectator team.

Among them was the Anchan County team, led by a tall, thin man in a black robe, who was the current Anchan Marquis. In the Anchan County team, in addition to some people from the Beishan clan, there were also people from some major sects and tribes in Anchan County, such as the Black and White Academy, the Lielong clan, and the Mulan clan, including immortals, some high-ranking Yuanshen Taoists, and a few young people.

At the same time, figures soared into the sky and flew into the main hall of Tianmang Palace in the high clouds. They were the immortal ancestors of the Great Xia world. They were either alone or with their followers and disciples. Only these truly free and immortal immortals were qualified to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia.

In the main hall at the highest point of Tianmang Palace, Emperor Xia sat on the throne in a black robe, and below him stood in two rows. Those close to Emperor Xia were naturally the immortal ancestors of the Xia Mang clan of the Great Xia royal family, and behind them were the immortal ancestors from all over the Great Xia world, from major sects and tribes. Soon, there were more than a thousand people gathered.

Thousands of powerful celestial beings were only a part of the celestial beings in the entire Daxia world. The large tribes that ranked in the top ten in the Daxia world, such as the Shaoyan clan and the Cangwu clan, had quite a few powerful celestial beings, ranging from seven or eight to more than ten, but they only sent one celestial being.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" After the celestial beings, led by those of the Xia Mang clan, bowed to Emperor Xia, their disciples and followers, as well as more than a million people in the square outside, almost all of whom were immortal cultivators, all knelt down in unison. However, Dick, who was still standing in the square, stood out from the crowd.

The resounding voice of "Greetings, Your Majesty" also made Dicko come back to his senses. When he looked up, he met two sharp gazes. A celestial attendant with a tall crown, white face and no beard, and a cold aura was standing outside the main hall of Tianmang Palace. He looked down at Dicko who was very conspicuous in the square below with a lightning-like gaze: "How dare you stand and not bow before your majesty!"

"First of all, I am so far away and Your Majesty is so high up that I have not seen him. Secondly, I am here to participate in the Immortal Fate Conference today. Who knows if I can become a strong man of Your Majesty's level in the future, or even the top powerful person in the Three Realms. When the time comes, perhaps Your Majesty should worship me," Facing the sharp gaze of the tall-crowned waiter, Dicko laughed calmly and said loudly.

Seeing Dicko's calm and confident look, everyone in the square was stunned. They subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Dicko in astonishment. Even the high-crowned attendant with the immortal cultivation level and the immortal ancestors in the main hall of Tianmang Palace looked at Dicko in astonishment. They couldn't believe their ears. This young man dared to say such words to the emperor of a big world. It was so bold!

“Oh?” Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes and looked down in surprise. His gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds and mist and look directly at Di Ke. Seeing Di Ke’s fearless look, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, and then laughed loudly: “Good boy! Then this emperor will wait for the day when you become a true powerful person in the Three Realms.”

After hearing what Emperor Xia said, the immortal ancestors and everyone in the square below who had reacted secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh at how lucky this guy Dicko was. It was strange that Emperor Xia didn't get angry at all and even seemed to admire him a little!
What they didn't know was that Emperor Xia was also in a state of confusion at this time, and became curious about Di Ke: "This little guy is so fearless in the face of me, what a strong heart of Tao! As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future! Di Ke... Is he the evil little genius of the Di family? Chi Long is so lucky! He must be very proud to have such an outstanding descendant!"

After this little episode, at the order of Emperor Xia, Prince Qi, the leader of the Xia Mang clan's celestial immortal ancestors, flew out of the main hall, came to the clouds outside the Tianmang Hall, and read out the rules of this Immortal Fate Conference.

This time, the number of participants in the Immortal Fate Conference was larger than that of previous conferences, with more than 100,000 Wanxiang Zhenren participating. After the conference began, each of them would receive a token, and then they would all enter the world of the Pure Yang magic weapon Mingyue Shanshuitu used by Emperor Xia, where they could fight and seize other people's tokens.

After one year, except for those who were killed or those who automatically abandoned the talisman and were eliminated, the remaining eighty people who got the most talismans will be considered to have passed the test, and the rest will be gathered together to fight and select sixteen people. Of course, if less than a year, there will be only eighty people left, and the test in the Moonlight Landscape will end early. During the test and fighting, of course, you cannot use Taoist talismans, puppets, and other strange objects. You can only rely on your own cultivation, magic weapons, secret techniques, and other means as well as your understanding of Tao.

After the rules were announced, Ji Ning, Yu Wei, and Sloppy Master were no longer shocked by Yu Di Ke's boldness. They all looked serious. After all, this Immortal Fate Conference was different from the past. The first round of tests was so bloody and cruel, and they could not guarantee that they could survive the test.

When Prince Qi announced the rules, Emperor Xia also looked at the many young geniuses in the square below. Although he was considered a top-notch powerhouse among the gods and immortals, and had cultivated to the level of gods and immortals in ancient times, he had a lot of experience and a good vision, but he could only see the merits and sins of these Wanxiang Zhenren, and roughly understood the general information of some of the famous geniuses. As for which of these little guys could rise in the future turmoil of the Three Realms and become a real powerhouse in the Three Realms, he could not tell.

Even a powerful person like Daozu can see the fate of some weak creatures, but he cannot determine the future achievements of geniuses. He can only roughly judge their potential. After all, there are too many uncertainties in the future! Even the most evil genius may die before he grows up. And the seemingly insignificant mediocre people, as long as they don't die, may have unexpected great achievements in the future.

Next, as Emperor Xia flipped his hand and took out the painting of bright moon and mountains and waters, the scroll with a bright moon and mountains and waters unfolded and grew larger, turning into a vast expanse of thousands of miles, covering the sky and the sun, and enveloping the square, attracting more than a hundred thousand geniuses below to look up, and they could even vaguely see the world inside the scroll.

With the sound of invisible suction, Dicko and the others soared into the sky uncontrollably, falling on the vast painting like raindrops. As a large number of ripples appeared on the painting, everyone who touched the painting disappeared directly and instantly entered another world inside.

The test would last for a year, so Emperor Xia also held a banquet in the main hall of Tianmang Palace to entertain the immortals. The immortals ate immortal fruits, drank immortal wine, chatted and laughed with each other, and watched the test in the bright moon landscape painting.

In the world of Mingyue Mountain and Water Painting, Dicko appeared out of nowhere on the top of a mountain. He glanced around and noticed the figures appearing in the valleys on the nearby hillsides.

Those people also discovered Dicko. After all, he was too eye-catching standing on the top of the mountain, and he was too famous. In a blink of an eye, more than ten Wanxiang Zhenren around him were staring at him and surrounded him tacitly: "Let's work together and eliminate him first!"

"Oh, you've become the target of public criticism!" Dicko smiled dumbly upon seeing this, but he did not dodge or escape. Just a moment later, accompanied by a burst of panicked screams and exclamations, the guy who was beaten to a pulp and vomited blood by Dicko, who instantly turned into dozens of phantoms, fled in all directions like a frightened rabbit, each of them with a pale face and not even daring to turn his head back.

After beating the man, Dicko, who was in a solid figure, clapped his hands, shook his head and laughed: "With such little strength, you want to join forces to eliminate me?"
