Zhutian: Invincible from the Martial Spirit

Chapter 197 Five Major Forces
Gu Yi stood on the stage, attracting the attention and admiration of millions of people.

But there was still no expression on his face, and he remained calm as usual.

As if all this was not worth his excitement and surprise.

It seemed that winning the first place in the Snow Region Competition was just a small matter for him.

Xue Wuchang looked at Gu Yi, whose face was calm, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

With this state of mind, it is no wonder that Gu Yi has achieved what he has today.

With talent and strong understanding, one can progress faster in martial arts.

But if the state of mind is not right, one may die in the process of growth.

Even after suffering some setbacks and difficulties, they may become devastated and stuck at a bottleneck.

Gu Yi not only has great talent and comprehension, but his state of mind is also far superior to that of ordinary people. He will surely be able to move forward quickly and steadily on the path of martial arts!
"Congratulations, Gu Yi." Xue Wuchang congratulated Gu Yi, "You won the first place in the Snow Region Competition. My Divine Palace will give you the greatest reward."

"Thank you." Gu Yi nodded.

"Okay, everyone, the Snow Region Competition is over. No matter what your ranking is, get ready and follow me to the Divine Palace again." Xue Wuchang glanced at everyone.

In addition to the first sixteen people who had already visited the Shrine, dozens of other geniuses who had been eliminated long ago but were still alive were also invited by him.

These talented and powerful men looked excited, their eyes full of anticipation.

Although they did not get a good ranking in the Snow Region Competition, they still look forward to the rewards from the Divine Palace.

After all, they were able to participate in the Snow Region Competition and were all good talents in the four empires. However, compared with Gu Yi and others, their brilliance was much dimmer.

I believe the Shrine will not treat them unfairly.

It's such a bad thing that even the Shrine wouldn't be able to offer it.

With the treasures bestowed by the Divine Palace, their cultivation will be greatly improved.

"Gu Yi won the first place in the competition. I wonder what kind of generous reward the Divine Palace will give him." Everyone speculated secretly in their hearts.

Now Gu Yi’s strength is almost invincible in the Xuanwu Realm. Below the Tianwu Realm, there should be few people who can be his opponent.

If he gets any more rewards, wouldn't it make him even stronger?

Maybe Gu Yi can break through Tianwu in one fell swoop.

Even if I fail to break through, I might be able to defeat the powerful Tianwu with the body of Xuanwu!
"Get ready and follow me." Xue Wuchang said with a smile.

The talented and powerful people who participated in the Snow Region Competition took off into the air, ready to follow him to the Temple of the Gods.

But at this moment, among the millions of people surrounding the main battle stage of the maze city, several terrifying auras suddenly burst out, causing everyone's heart to tremble violently.

I saw several figures flying out at a very fast speed and intercepting Xue Wuchang's body.

These figures looked very ordinary, without even a hint of abnormality.

But the aura released from them at this moment was not weaker than Xue Wuchang, nor weaker than those Tianwu powerful warriors from the four empires.

"Haha, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" A few more chuckles were heard from the crowd. Around the battle stage, figures stepped out into the air and surrounded Xue Wuchang, Gu Yi and other geniuses.

They are also powerful martial artists at the Tianwu realm!
Everyone held their breath and their bodies trembled.

What day is it today? Normally, it is rare to see powerful Tianwu realm masters in the Lost City, so why are there so many of them now?
There are more than ten!

Could there be other disturbances in this Snow Region Competition?
Xue Wuchang had an ugly expression on his face. He had not expected that there were so many Tianwu realm masters hidden in the crowd, and judging from their actions, they came with ill intentions.

"You all don't look like people from the Snow Region. Where did you come from and what do you want to do now? Aren't you afraid of the strong men from my Divine Palace?" Xue Wuchang asked with gloomy eyes.

"The Divine Palace is not qualified to make us afraid. Your Divine Palace does not belong to the Snow Region. Aren't you also cheating people in the Snow Region right now?" A sarcastic voice spread, and those who surrounded Xue Wuchang and a group of geniuses all had sneers on their faces.

Everyone in the Lost City was stunned. Isn’t the Temple of God a force from the Snow Region?
But it is clear that the space where the North Palace is located is near the maze city.

"My Divine Palace has established its foundation in the Snow Region for hundreds of years." Xue Wuchang shouted with an unhappy look on his face:

"The Snow Region Competition is held every ten years. It is held by our Divine Palace at a cost of resources. It is used to discover young talents in the Snow Region and make them stronger. How can it not belong to the Snow Region?"

"Since ancient times, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but it is easy to add icing on the cake. They are geniuses from the Snow Region. Your Divine Palace held the so-called Snow Region Competition, which indeed gathered together the geniuses from the Snow Region.

But this cultivation of geniuses is pure nonsense. Who doesn't know how to cultivate geniuses? It's not just you, the Divine Palace. Do you dare to say that your Divine Palace rewards them and doesn't need them to do anything? "

One person spoke in a sly, sarcastic voice, causing Xue Wuchang's eyes to twitch, looking increasingly unsightly.

The Snow Region Competition has ended, and everything is about to be settled.

However, he did not expect that these people, for some unknown reason, would come all the way to the Snow Region to cause trouble and destroy his temple.

"The Temple of God will follow their opinions and let them choose freely. We will never force them." Xue Wuchang did not deny what these people said and said frankly.

There was no change in the eyes of Gu Yi and others.

Everyone in the world is benefiting.

The Temple of the Gods is not a philanthropist, and it must have some ulterior motives for spending so much time and resources to host the Snow Region Competition.

At least for now, the behavior of the Temple of God is still relatively good. They did not use coercion to force the geniuses from the Snow Region to join them.

Instead, they win them over through resources, skills, beauty and other means.

"Since you follow their opinions and let them make their own choices, why not lay things out now and let them make their own choices... Will they still be qualified to choose when they arrive at the Shrine?" Someone laughed.

They won't let these geniuses leave.

There were several geniuses in this Snow Region Competition, which made them very excited.

If they enter the Divine Palace, it will be very bad for their subsequent journey to the Martial Emperor Secret Realm!
"You have all come all the way to the Snowy Mysterious City. Thank you for your hard work. However, it seems that it is not your turn to worry about the affairs of our Divine Palace."

In the distance, a rumbling sound was heard, and then the crowd saw a group of strong men flying towards them.

The person in the lead was unexpectedly the Palace Master of Beishen Palace.

Seeing the Palace Master coming, Xue Wuchang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, other powerful people from the Divine Palace have arrived.

He was only a Tianwu fourth-level martial artist, while each of these dozen people had an aura that was no weaker than his, and some were even much stronger.

If a conflict really happens, I'm afraid these people will be able to deal with Xue Wuchang in an instant.

He knew very well that the other party had not taken direct action before because he had some concerns in his heart.

After all, this Snowy Mysterious City is the sphere of influence of their Divine Palace. The other party has come from afar and does not dare to do anything extreme.

Once Xue Wuchang is killed, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the Temple of the Gods.

"It turns out that the Lord of Beiming Palace has arrived." Those Tianwu Realm experts obviously recognized the Lord of Beishen Palace and called out his name directly.

"You are all powerful people in your own regions. Why do you come to my Divine Palace now?"

Bei Ming glanced at the crowd coldly, feeling quite depressed.

It seems that these powerful forces attach great importance to this trip to the Martial Emperor Secret Realm.

They even sent strong men to the Snow Region Mystery City to watch the Snow Region Competition that their Divine Palace had created conditions to host, wanting to see if there were any top talents in the Xuanwu Realm in the Snow Region, and whether it would affect them.

I saw a figure waving his sleeves, and suddenly a dragon robe shining with golden light appeared on his body, and the sound of a dragon's roar could be heard faintly.

At this moment, his temperament has become completely different. He exudes a domineering aura, as if a real dragon has descended.

He said in a bright voice: "Let's be frank. Our purpose in coming here is naturally the same as that of the Lord of Beiming Palace. There are many geniuses in the Snow Region Competition this time. It would not be a good idea for the Divine Palace to take all the talents for itself."

"The Purple-Gold Dragon King, one of the four great dragon kings of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea." Bei Ming saw this man wearing a purple-gold dragon robe, and his eyes suddenly focused: "Others, please reveal your identities as well, so that I, Bei Ming, don't have to guess one by one."

The other Tianwu Realm warriors immediately stopped concealing themselves, took off their disguises, put on clothes, or put golden crowns on their heads.

Their temperaments have changed, becoming noble and powerful.

Judging from their attire and aura, these Tianwu realm warriors belong to four different forces.

Every force has several powerful people in the Tianwu realm.

Moreover, none of them is an ordinary Tianwu realm expert, the weakest ones are mid-level Tianwu.

And there are three other peak Tianwu realm masters like the Purple Gold Dragon King.

For the Snow Region, any one of the four powerful forces is enough to overthrow an empire.

Gu Yi looked at the forces in all directions.

In addition to the East China Sea Dragon Palace, there were several people carrying ancient long swords, and they all exuded a sword energy that soared into the sky.

There is another group of people, led by a strong man with a crown on his head and a powerful kingly aura emanating from his body. He is only stronger than the Emperor Indra of the Cangtian Empire.

The last group of people are filled with a terrifying demonic aura and their eyes are as sharp as knives, making people retreat at the sight of them.

"The Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the Jiuxiao Sword Sect, the Yutian Imperial Family, and the Fengdu Demon Sect!" Bei Ming recognized the origins of these powerful men at the first opportunity.

"Good, very good. I never thought that such a small snowy area could attract all of you. Should I, Bei Ming, feel honored?"

Each of these four forces is as famous as the Palace of God and is one of the strongest forces in Qian Domain.

Now they are gathered in the Snow Region.

It seems that the Jingu team was one step behind. We didn't expect them to do this.

After all, the Divine Palace has been coming to the Snow Region for hundreds of years, and has held the Snow Region Competition dozens of times. The other dominant forces in the Qian Region all assume that the Snow Region is the territory of the Divine Palace and will not come here easily.

So the Shrine was somewhat lax in this regard.

At this moment, the hearts of the people who were watching began to tremble again.

Judging from Bei Ming's tone, they were clearly unclear about everything.

The East China Sea Dragon Palace, the Jiuxiao Sword Sect, the Yutian Imperial Family, and the Fengdu Demon Sect are probably all overlord-level forces that are not weaker than the Divine Palace.

A single shrine can dominate the Snow Region and be the king of the Snow Region.

Now, there are four forces as powerful as the Temple of God in front of them. How can they not be frightened?

No wonder Bei Ming said that these people came from thousands of miles away and mingled among the crowd.

“So many geniuses should not all belong to your Divine Palace. Now that we are here, let them choose for themselves.” The Purple-Gold Dragon King spoke in a clear and bright voice.

"How do you want them to choose?" Bei Ming stared at the Purple Gold Dragon King with gloomy eyes.

Now that the strong men from the four dominant forces have gathered in the Snowy Mysterious City, it seems impossible for his Divine Palace to have the whole thing to itself.

If no compromise is made, I am afraid that the four major forces will directly snatch away or even kill these geniuses.

"Each of our five forces will speak a few words, and then let them make their own choice." Purple Gold Dragon King spoke, and then looked at the other three forces: "What do you think?"

"I have no objection." The person from Jiuxiao Sword Gate responded.

"Agree." Everyone from the Yutian Imperial Family and the Fengdu Demon Sect nodded.

"Then who will speak first?" Bei Ming looked at the four forces and asked.

"The guest should follow the host's wishes. Your Divine Palace is the host, so you, Bei Ming, should speak first." The Purple Gold Dragon King said.

Bei Ming's eyes darkened, and then he looked at the group of geniuses, especially Gu Yi and the other top ten geniuses.

He said slowly: "My Divine Palace has called on the thirteen countries of the Snow Region to hold the Snow Region Competition every ten years. This has always been to help you improve your cultivation. I believe you have all witnessed this.

You are all geniuses from the Snow Region, and my Divine Palace certainly wants to win you over. If you are willing to join my Divine Palace, my Divine Palace will certainly treat you well. "

Bei Ming said: "Of course, even if you don't want to enter my Divine Palace, the Divine Palace will not force you. I just hope that you can help my Divine Palace do one thing. This is also the purpose of their coming here. I hope you will consider it carefully."

Bei Ming's voice was bright and polite, without any aggressive tone.

If you enter my palace, you will be treated well by the palace; if you do not want to enter, you will not be forced.

When these words were spoken, many geniuses' eyes flickered, as if they were moved.

At the same time, they also understood the real purpose of the Divine Palace holding the Snow Region Competition, which was to get them to help the Divine Palace do something.

Four other powerful forces also came for this purpose.

This matter is certainly difficult.

"Lord Bei Ming has finished speaking, right? Then let me take over next." The Purple Gold Dragon King said with a smile.

Then his gaze fell directly on Gu Yi.

“Gu Yi, my East Sea Dragon Palace is the overlord of the East Sea Empire, and the East Sea Empire is a middle-grade empire, which is many times stronger than your four lower-grade empires in the Snow Region.

Such a powerful force is controlled by my East Sea Dragon Palace. You can imagine how powerful we are."

The Purple Gold Dragon King seemed to have been prepared, and his voice was full of temptation: "Gu Yi, if you enter my Dragon Palace, you can choose from any of the heavenly-level martial arts. You can even ask the Dragon Lord or Dragon Master in the Dragon Palace to accept you as a disciple and personally guide you in your practice. You will become a great man in the future!"

"Even if you don't join my Dragon Palace, my East Sea Dragon Palace is willing to let you become a guest official, and let the four great dragon kings, including me, guide your practice. This is definitely a great opportunity for you, you must think carefully."

"Lin Feng, Qing Lin, the same goes for you. The martial soul of my East Sea Dragon Palace is the dragon soul, which possesses the true dragon skills and martial arts. The Nine Heavens Dragon Devouring Martial Soul and Green Snake Martial Soul they possess are both suitable for joining the East Sea Dragon Palace."
