Chapter 649 (Including 102 chapters) Tianyuan Island, there are so many familiar faces...

The scenery changed, and Luo Jun finally returned to the basement of the villa.

As soon as he appeared, he heard footsteps above his head, and then the door of the basement opened. Lilith and Gabriel ran down, and when they saw Luo Jun, they said in surprise: "Master, you are finally back!"

"Sorry for the long wait. This mission is a bit long." Luo Jun laughed: "What day is it today?"

Although time can be calculated during the mission, Luo Jun wants to confirm whether the time in the main world and the chaos mission is synchronized.

After comparison, there is indeed no difference. There are still two days before the Tianyuan Conference officially begins.

"Master, you are no longer wearing the golden hoop?" Gabriel looked at Luo Jun's forehead and asked, "Can you control your body freely now?"

"It's about the same. It's not as sophisticated as before, but as long as we don't encounter enemies of the same level, it shouldn't get out of control."

"That's good. It looks like the champion of the Tianyuan Conference must be the master!"

"We can't draw a conclusion so early." Luo Jun contacted Alontan and Aishilia who were far away in the center of the ocean, and learned that both of them had successfully entered the finals and were now on Tianyuan Island.

The gate of heaven has been opened, but the organizers have to arrange staff to set up the scene first, so the contestants and spectators are still in the main world. Although Tianyuan Island is an isolated island and is not well known to the secular world, it has always been the focus of several major practitioners' organizations because of the existence of the gate. There are also various facilities built for practitioners on the island, and people are stationed all year round to prevent ordinary people's ships from accidentally docking and discovering the gate of heaven on the island.

"Master, this is simply a holiday resort for cultivators!" Ailontan said with a smile, "The natural scenery is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and there are resort hotels sponsored by many countries. It's worth coming here for a trip."

"Don't just play around." Luo Jun reminded him, "You didn't reveal anything, did you?"

"Don't worry." Alontan said, "Aishiliya and I take turns playing the role of the master, and our cooperation is seamless. Now in the final list, I, Alontan, take one place, and the master takes another place. Of course, I entered the finals to escort the master and clear those obstacles..."

"Okay, I got it!" Luo Jun stopped Ailontan's flattery offensive: "Hurry up and find a hidden place, I'm going over."

"Okay! I'm waiting for you, Master!"

As Luo Jun spoke, he walked upstairs and found Sima Cheng was already waiting upstairs, with food already placed on the dining table.

"Master, you have been on a mission for so long, I'm afraid you must be hungry. I have prepared some food at home. Although it is not exquisite, it is convenient and should be enough to fill your stomach."

Luo Jun took a look and saw that they were mostly cooked food and pastries. To be honest, during the mission, food was provided every six hours, so he was not very hungry, but considering the old general's kindness, he still picked some pastries and sausages to fill his stomach.

Seeing this, Gabriel whispered to Lilith, "I think Lao Cheng's flattery is even better than Elontan's."

"Oh!" Lilith looked at him in surprise: "You can actually see that. It's not easy!"

"Are you scolding me?" Gabriel frowned.

"No, I'm praising you!"

After a quick bite, Luo Jun arranged things here.

Although they had lived well during the eighteen days he was missing, they were still going on a long journey and there were some things they needed to take care of.

According to the previous convention, the finals of the Tianyuan Conference will last for ten days and a half months. During this period, the attention of practitioners all over the world will be focused on Tianyuan Island. Not only will many young masters participate in the competition, but even many bigwigs in the cultivation world will personally enter the [Heavenly Kingdom] to observe the event. Although they can come out at any time, the main world is still in a relatively empty state of combat power in the past ten days.

Of course, over the years, apart from the Pluto not long ago, there has been no incident of alien worlds counterattacking the main world. But as his strength grew, Luo Jun became more and more worried about the reliability of the world barrier.

"During this time, the three of you will stay in Ningdong and help me look after the academy. If there is any trouble in the academy, please help appropriately."

"What kind of trouble could there be?" Gabriel was a little disapproving.

"Master, have you heard any news?" Lilith asked.

"No, it's just... a premonition." Luo Jun's so-called premonition was not groundless. This time when he met Changkong, the maintainer of the chaos mission, Luo Jun smelled a familiar smell.

Even if he was the only saint of the time, he would not destroy a mission scene, so he let the maintainer do it himself. Moreover, Changkong said it was a warning, but in fact, it was more like teaching Luo Jun a lesson... or in other words, it was to guide Luo Jun, hoping that he could tap into more power of this saint's body.

Luo Jun thought that as a newcomer who had practiced for less than a year, he would not be so cared for by such a legendary boss. There must be someone behind this. The only person he could think of was Ziye.

Although it is unknown how Ziye was trapped in the underground floor of the hotel, since she came out, she obviously has certain authority in the chaos mission. Not only can she shuttle between different missions, but she can even interfere with the death process. And the big boss with this ability went to great lengths to come to the main world just to stabilize a newly opened door.

Speaking of this door, it is also in the Eastern Ocean, and it has been opened for some time. The official has not released any news, and it is obviously still under exploration.

No matter what is behind the door, it suddenly opened at this time, and it also attracted Midnight to come to the main world to intervene. In addition, this time, a big shot like the Maintainer was deliberately brought out... Luo Jun vaguely felt that something big might be about to happen in the Chaos Mission, the main world, and even all the other worlds.

He didn't know what it was specifically, and he couldn't guess, but he still wanted to make some preparations.

At least, protect the things that matter to you first.

After arranging everything, Luo Jun confirmed the situation with Alontan, then took out the teleportation staff and initiated the target teleportation.

After a few seconds, Luo Jun disappeared and appeared in a hotel suite.

"It's really luxurious." Luo Jun took a look at the furnishings in the room, walked to the spacious balcony, felt the sea breeze, and looked at the tropical scenery outside, feeling quite refreshed.

"I'm not lying." Elontan said with a smile.

"Where is Aishilia?" Luo Jun asked after taking a breath of fresh air.

"She lives on another floor. To be exact, she used your identity to book a room. We are strangers to each other, so we were randomly assigned to different floors." Alontan said, "Since the master is here, he should stay at her place."

"I should have used her as the coordinates to teleport..." Luo Jun said, "It would be hard to explain if someone saw me leaving your room." As he spoke, he contacted Aishilia again, put on his instant step boots, used the flash function, and flashed to Aishilia's side.

As for Aishilia, she used her transformation ability to turn into a cat lying on the windowsill.

Generally speaking, practitioners of the Transfiguration School can only transform into creatures of similar or larger size than themselves. The transformation of their own bodies is one aspect, and the extra volume can be filled with vitality. But if they want to become smaller, it is a bit difficult.

But at the peak level, this shrinking operation is very simple. Even because the appearance and size of cats are somewhat different from humans, but the difference is not particularly large, it can be used as a relatively stable form and maintained for a long time.

Next, Luo Jun and the two learned about the current competition notice and player information. According to the two, they passed the semi-finals very easily. After all, with their peak strength, it was easy to beat those casual cultivators.

In general, the strength of independent cultivators is still not as good as those "directly admitted students" who have backgrounds and resources. However, it does not mean that there are no masters among independent cultivators. It's just that in the eyes of top masters, they are not good enough.

"Oh, by the way, there is another player that the master didn't expect." Ashlia reminded, "One-eyed Allen who is far stronger than the black market."

"Him?" Luo Jun was stunned: "Isn't that...A Fei?"

Luo Jun almost forgot about this and immediately contacted A Fei, only to find out that she was also staying in this hotel.

Wow, there are three of our own people in the finals? Luo Jun suddenly felt that it would be unjust if he didn't win the championship.

While they were discussing, there was a knock on the door. Luo Jun was startled. The cat beside him licked its fur and said, "I'm here to call you to eat."

"Ah?!" Luo Jun opened the door with a puzzled look on his face and found two girls standing outside.

"Ling Xin...Xue Lan?"

"What's wrong?" Ling Xin looked at Luo Jun: "Are you so surprised to see us?"

Luo Jun then remembered that the two of them had also been guaranteed admission and entered the finals. In this foreign country thousands of miles away, three acquaintances were participating in the competition together, so they naturally stuck together.

"We... no, you three have been eating together a lot these past few days..." Ashlia said, "Usually I would let Elontan help me, after all, he has more experience in playing the role of the host, but I don't think that's necessary today."

"Old Ai..." Luo Jun called out in his heart: "Tell me what you talked about these two days, and I will try to continue..."

The hotel restaurant is spacious, and the meals are free and self-service. The three of them found a seat and chatted while eating. Ling Xin is old acquaintances. Luo Jun found that Xue Lan was more cheerful than before. This girl is shy, but also has extraordinary talent. She didn't have peers around her to talk to on an equal footing, which made her more and more autistic. Now that she is surrounded by top talents from all over the world, her uniqueness is not so conspicuous. Instead, she has let go of her burden and feels much more relaxed.

"By the way, have you decided what treasures you want to bring?" Ling Xin said, "Each person can only bring three, and they must be reviewed by the Mythology Treasures, and they must be obtained by one's own ability during the mission."

"Defense type..." Xue Lan said, "I have no shortage of offensive power."

"I have the same idea." Ling Xin nodded and looked at Luo Jun: "What about you? You haven't revealed anything yet. Have you made any progress in these days of seclusion?"

"Let's keep it secret." Luo Jun said with a smile: "I am not like you. I don't have such powerful abilities. If I reveal the treasure in advance, I will have no trump card."

"Are you afraid that I will tell others?" Ling Xin gave him a slightly dissatisfied look.

"I definitely trust you, but don't forget that we are all experts here, and walls have ears..."

Luo Jun was explaining when a figure suddenly came to the table: "Mind if we share a table?"

When the three of them looked, they saw that the person had blonde hair, blue eyes, a sweet smile, and a delicate face, as if he had walked out of an animation.

"Elena?" The three of them sounded surprised.

"Hi." Before the three agreed, Elena put down her plate and sat down next to Luo Jun: "I just arrived today and came to eat and happened to see you."

As she spoke, she looked at Luo Jun: "I didn't expect to see you here. By the way, Luo Jun, which round did you make it to?"

"Huh?" Ling Xin and Xue Lan both raised doubts and looked at Luo Jun: "Do you know each other?"

"Oh..." Luo Jun nodded: "We just went through the same chaos mission."

"Yes." Elena nodded: "To be honest, I never thought that you could last longer than us in the closed state."

"What?!" Ling Xin and Xue Lan were even more surprised: "You are closed?"

"Oh... now I understand..." Luo Jun thought to himself, Elena, please stop talking...

"Congratulations." Elena smiled and said, "It's great that we were able to lift the blockade before the Tianyuan Conference. On the stage, I look forward to you showing your true strength."

"No...wait..." Ling Xin blinked her eyes: "You are in a closed state, how did you accept the Chaos mission? Also, weren't you practicing in seclusion? Why did you close yourself off?"

"This is a bit complicated to explain..." Luo Jun sighed: "In short, it is closed, but not completely... But it's okay now. You just need to know that I can participate in the competition normally."

Seeing that he couldn't explain his problem clearly, Luo Jun simply changed the subject, but Elena had no intention of letting him go.

"So you're not completely closed..." Elena suddenly realized, "No wonder you can avoid so many monsters... By the way, can I ask you, did you do anything to me during the mission?"

"Huh?!" Ling Xin and Xue Lan expressed surprise again.

"Ah?" Luo Jun was also confused this time: "What did I do to you? Don't you know it?"

"I only realized it later." Elena thought of her strange dream: "Did you use some power on me? Did you put something in my brain?"

Luo Jun was even more confused now: "I'm not an illusionist, how can I have that ability..."

"But I heard that you killed the [Supernatural] Samsara King." Elena asked, "You must have some accomplishments in spiritual power, right?"

"This... really didn't happen..." Luo Jun recalled carefully. He really didn't do anything to Elena in his state where he couldn't use any of his energy. If he had to say something, he might have hit her when he used his mental power to interfere with the monster... But Elena was not the main target. She couldn't even notice the damage during the fierce battle, let alone the impact.

Seeing that she couldn't get any answers, Elena didn't bother about it anymore and changed the topic to continue the conversation. She seemed to be chatting and laughing, but the two girls opposite her were not so calm, especially Ling Xin, whose eyes wandered between Elena and Luo Jun, almost spitting fire.

Chapter 102 Opening of the Conference

"Dear fellow practitioners from all over the world!"

"To all the audience friends who are following the Tianyuan Conference!"

"We are now broadcasting live the opening ceremony of the 13th Tianyuan Conference!"

"I'm the host Qiao Fei!"

"I'm the host Lina!"

"After years of silence, the Tianyuan Conference is open again this year. The top young practitioners from all over the world have gathered here to compete for the strongest of the new generation!"

"Because it has been suspended for many years, many young audiences may not know much about the Tianyuan Conference. They can only get a glimpse of this event from the text information in the forum or the descriptions of the older generation."

"But this year is different. Thanks to the use of the new Noble Phantasm, we are able to broadcast the scenes in Heaven to the main world. Not only can audiences around the world watch the live broadcast for the first time, but we can also leave precious video data and record the heroic figures of the players forever!"

"Okay, we can see that what is displayed on the screen now is the competition venue of the Tianyuan Conference!"

"The entire venue is built in the style of the ancient Colosseum. The central competition venue is a perfect circle with a diameter of 360 meters. There are barrier generators around it that can generate a level 5 defense barrier. There are seven levels of stands around the venue, which can theoretically accommodate millions of people watching the game at the same time."

"This size far exceeds any stadium in the main world."

"Yes, even if all registered practitioners in the world were gathered in this arena, there would be enough space for them."

"Of course, this is impossible, but there are still more than two thousand practitioners from all over the world watching the game!"

"We can see that the audience is gathered in the VIP area on the east side of the arena. Sitting in the first row are important representatives and leaders of the world's major cultivator organizations and families. They are..."

"The president of the Aurora Qi Cultivator Association, Mr. Wan Guiyuan!"

"Mr. Goldo Manny, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Federal Haier Luo Group!"

"Pope of the Church of the Fathers of Silo, President of the Central Academy of the Holy See, His Holiness Saint Nicholas!"

"Mother Saint Andariel, the head nun of the Silo Father Church!"

"The owner of Zhendan Lingyun Island, the president of the Savage Hunters Association, Mr. Ling Ao!"

"The head of the Hell Creek Family of the Federation, Mr. Rex Hell Creek!"

"President of Yingzhou Shinto Research Association, Ms. Miyamoto Haru!"

"Mr. Apacha, leader of the Exiled Land Pioneer Alliance!"

"The Chief High Priestess of the Primordial Continent, Queen Hakuana!"

………………

"Wow, everyone here is either at the Immortal stage or at the peak stage. They are all big names from all over the world..."

Luo Jun, who was standing in the contestant area waiting to enter, looked up at the close-up flashing on the huge screen facing the VIP seats and couldn't help but sigh.

“I originally thought it was just a platform for the younger generation to learn from each other, but I didn’t expect it to be so grand.”

"Of course." Elena turned around and introduced, "The limit of being under 40 years old is not very strict. To be able to make it this far in a world-class competition, every player present has the potential to become a top player or even a metamorphosis player in the future. An event that brings together such a group of people will naturally attract attention from all over the world."

"It's not impossible!" Ling Xin beside Luo Jun rushed to refute: "Some of the contestants have already reached the peak!" As she said that, she looked at her brother sitting in the front row, and Zhuge Chi sitting next to him.

As he was speaking, the host had already introduced the important guests and was about to start introducing the contestants.

"Now, please welcome the real protagonists of this Tianyuan Conference, the sixty-four contestants who have stood out from hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged practitioners from all over the world!"

Following the host's introduction, the door to the contestant area slowly opened, and everyone walked out in the order they had arranged in advance.

"The first one to come out was the leader of the Zhendan Wild Hunter Guild, the Frost Moon Hunter Group, Guan Tianshuang, who is known as the strongest hunter!"

"The second person to come out was the youngest professor in the history of Federal Havel College, Leonardo!"

"Next up is Ottos, an outstanding student from the Holy See Central Academy who performed very well in the international exchange competition!"

"Tu Lun, a strong man from the Yuanqiang Group, an organization of civilian practitioners in Zhendan!"

"Gonzalez, the bishop from the Holy See of Xiro and professor at the Holy See Central Academy!"

"The independent cultivator who stood out from the auditions and won a place in the finals with an overwhelming advantage in the semi-finals, Ailontan!"

"A mysterious and powerful man from the Hell Creek family, said to be the strongest of the younger generation in the family, Nikolai Hell Creek!"

…………

One after another, the contestants stepped onto the open arena. The appearance of each person attracted the attention and discussion of the audience, including practitioners around the world who were watching the live broadcast through mobile phones, tablets and other devices.

Although due to age restrictions, the players on the field cannot be said to be the strongest forces in this main world, but at least, in the near future, someone among them will definitely stand at the top of the world and become an equal to the group of land immortals in the first row of the VIP seats!
Such a person, no matter how famous he was before or what his record was, every time he appeared, would cause heated discussions. For a time, barrages of comments were flying in the live broadcast room, and various posts appeared in the forum one after another, arguing with each other and predicting the final results one after another.

And all this reached its climax the moment the host read out a name.

"The next person to appear is Ling Yao, a master from the royal family of Zhendan Lingyun Island, who is known as the number one person under the Yuhua level!"

As Ling Yao appeared on the stage, the live broadcast screen was instantly overwhelmed by a tide of comments. All the posts in the forum became nothing more than boasting about Ling Yao, as if they had already secured the championship for him in advance!
There is no other way. He was at the top in his early twenties and became the number one under the Nirvana before he was thirty. Ling Yao's reputation has long been known throughout the cultivation circles of countries around the world. In addition, his feat of working together with Ye to stop the Pluto not long ago has added another achievement to Ling Yao's already dazzling resume. It can be said that wherever there are cultivators, there are fans of Ling Yao!
Even many of the more than 2,000 spectators at the scene burst into cheers.

Ling Yaoye responded to the audience's love by smiling and waving to the audience and the camera. His tall and handsome appearance made countless female viewers go crazy over him in the live broadcast room.

However, among the many posts praising Ling Yao, there are also some who are not convinced.

"Don't forget, there is another genius who is not inferior to him, but he didn't even come to participate in the Tianyuan Conference. If he came, Ling Yao's title as the number one person under Yuhua would not be guaranteed!"

When people first saw this post, they were filled with righteous indignation and clicked on it to rant, but when they saw the name of the poster, they all restrained themselves a lot...

Wei Zhentian, the leader of the Under the Night fan club, is also the number one fan of the mysterious and powerful Ye!
The reason why everyone kept silent was that, firstly, the fighting power of this brain-dead fan leader was indeed amazing. She once had a glorious record of staying up all night and arguing with others for more than 30 hours. It was really not easy to survive in the forum if you offended her.

Second, Ye's mysteriousness and power are indeed obvious to all. This powerful man who suddenly appeared like a comet has accomplished one miracle after another in less than a year. Even Ling Yao's brilliant record of repelling Yuhua was accomplished together with Ye. It must be said that if anyone can shake Ling Yao's solid position as the number one person under Yuhua, it is only Ye. What Wei Zhentian said in this post is really correct.

Therefore, although there are a few angry and violent comments in the replies below, most of them are either analyzing the strengths of Ye and Ling Yao, or lamenting why Ye did not come to participate in the competition.

Because the discussion about Ling Yao was so heated, it overshadowed the next few people who came on stage, and it took a while for the heat to die down.

"The next player to play is Luo Jun, a student from Aurora Ningdong College who solved an extremely difficult Class A task! Although he did not qualify for the international exchange competition, he stood out from the auditions with his own strength and made it to the finals!"

Luo Jun is also a rising star who has been in the limelight recently, but his fame is far less than Ling Yao. He is only well-known in Aurora, and obviously does not receive as much attention.

But Luo Jun seemed unaware of it. He stood on the field with a big grin on his face, happier than anyone else. He waved and blew a kiss to the camera, as if he was the protagonist of the conference.

After all the contestants were introduced, the following process was much simpler. All the fancy performances at the opening ceremony of the secular conference were omitted, and at the end, only the guest representative gave a speech to announce the official start of the conference.

The elected representative was Goldo Manni of the Federation.

Luo Jun looked up at the podium. This master, known as the Golden Emperor, was tall, with a broad chest and back. Even the well-tailored suit could not conceal the muscular lines on his body. He looked to be in his sixties, with a neatly trimmed beard and a monocle on his left eye. He had a pen and a pocket watch stuck in his chest, and held an exquisite cane in his hand. He stood upright, looking like an old-school capitalist from the beginning of the last century.

Luo Jun knew that these outfits were not deliberately retro, but a continuation of his style. Yes, he had heard about this before. This Golden Emperor, like President Wan, was a figure from a hundred years ago. Because he had achieved immortality after breaking through the transformation, he was able to wear this set of equipment in the [Kingdom of Heaven], which showed that each piece of equipment was a treasure, which showed that this old and powerful man had a profound foundation.

Luo Jun remembered the evaluation of Jin Di that he had seen on the forum: one of the three greatest masters in the world, and also known as the richest man in the main world today...

Although Luo Jun didn't know how much influence worldly money would have on a powerful immortal, he didn't dare to underestimate him just by looking at the aura emanating from this powerful person.

In the cultivation world, strength is respected, while in the secular world, most people pursue monetary interests. Perhaps Emperor Jin enjoys the feeling of being respected in both worlds.

After the conference begins, the first item is to draw lots to determine the order of the competition.

Sixty-four people, corresponding to numbers one to sixty-four, all draw lots on the spot and then assign opponents and the order of competition according to the numbers drawn.

The contestants in front of him drew lots one by one. Luo Jun secretly memorized the order of everyone. When it was his turn, he reached into the box.

It's best to avoid Ailontan and Afei, so that the chances of winning will be higher... There are also Lingyao and other top masters, it's best to avoid them in the early stage, so the most suitable number for me is...

"Heaven's Secret Dice!"

"I drew number 9!"

"Ding, the event difficulty is 98 points, the final point is 97+5 points, the event is successful!"

As the prompt sounded, Luo Jun successfully drew the number nine!

It's not that Luo Jun doesn't have confidence in himself. He has already achieved sainthood in his flesh and blood, and can compete with the immortals on the ground in the stands. If he works hard, it shouldn't be a problem for him to win the championship. But the words of the maintainer Changkong reminded him that he is the only saint nowadays, and the specialness of the saint has brought disaster to that special race thousands of years ago.

It is true that there are no longer as many immortals in the main world as there were in the past, and Luo Jun doesn’t even know whether those immortals understand the special nature of the saints. But to be on the safe side, if possible, Luo Jun still doesn’t want to easily display the power of the saint.

After all, a person who has no energy but can fight at the level of Yuhua is enough to attract people's covetousness. Even if he can protect himself with the power of a saint, his friends and acquaintances who have come into contact with him are likely to be implicated.

Soon, everyone finished drawing lots, and after a short break, the competition officially began.

The first two to compete were two independent cultivators whom Luo Jun did not know. After a fairly exciting battle, the two finally decided the winner, and Number One won.

The second match was between a casual cultivator and Gregory from the Federal Five Continents College.

As a recommended student selected in the exchange competition, Gregory had a solid foundation and strong abilities, and ultimately won the victory without much effort.

In the third game, the two sides were Ottos and Zhuge Chi.

Although Zhuge Chi had only been at the top for a short time, he was still a top after all, so it was not a problem for him to defeat one of Ottos' students. There was no suspense in this competition. Zhuge Chi even thought of their friendship when they had done tasks together, so he let Ottos show off his abilities to the fullest before defeating him.

As for the fourth match, it was another duel between two independent cultivators. There was nothing to worry about who won or lost.

After four games, the morning competition came to an end. After a brief rest, it was Luo Jun's turn to play in the first game in the afternoon.

As for his opponent, he was also an independent cultivator who entered the finals through the auditions.

"Master, I have dealt with this guy before." Alontan, who was watching the game in the contestant area, reminded him secretly, "He is a shapeshifter. He can transform into a monster that is seven or eight meters tall and looks like a gorilla. Everyone nicknamed him King Kong."

"Transformed into King Kong?" Luo Jun laughed: "Isn't this a coincidence..."
