Infinite Fighting

Jingchu Peak.

The Ten Peaks Grand Competition is a significant event here, though not insignificant.

Therefore, this place has become even more lively during this period.

Countless cultivators from other peaks came and went.

After Zhang Ji and his group arrived at the air-breaking shuttle, they went to the competition venue and were each arranged to rest.

The formal competition will be tomorrow.

Zhang Ji didn't rest; he found Xiao Mingyu and handed him a jade slip.

It contains the "Imperial Word Formula," one of the Eight Wonders, but it has been greatly simplified by Zhang, making it easier to learn and master.

After giving the items to Xiao Mingyu, Zhang Ji left.

Xiao Mingyu didn't understand the meaning, but he still read the contents as Zhang Ji instructed.

After he deciphered the information within the jade slip through his mind, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"To anticipate the enemy's moves and defend against their strength—the 'Security Technique'?"

Xiao Mingyu was knowledgeable and knew of the existence of this technique.

After all, there have indeed been disciples of sects who obtained these methods by passing the tests in the past.

Considering Zhang Ji's situation, it becomes clear what kind of method this is.

But he didn't expect Zhang Ji to pass on this method to him, and although it seemed incomplete, it still surprised him.

Sects are not allowed to teach techniques privately, which is a taboo, but since Zhang Ji was personally taught by the Heavenly Lord, it is not a big problem.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Mingyu carefully read and studied the text.

He is a genius, and not just any genius.

However, compared to the entire sect, it is not the most outstanding.

However, in the outside world, some smaller sects would be sufficient to cultivate such individuals as Dao prodigies.

Therefore, his learning ability and comprehension are also quite strong. Zhang's simplified version of the "Yu Zi Jue" was like a tailor-made script for him. In just half a day, he mastered a certain foundation. Putting aside everything else, he felt that his ability to resist attacks had at least doubled.

"I should really thank Junior Brother Li properly later," Xiao Mingyu murmured excitedly.

Inside the room, Zhang Ji observed the changes in information and calculated the results.

"Although there are still some fluctuations, the locked result has been trending in that direction. Sure enough, locking in a result and pushing in a general direction are two different things."

As Zhang Ji used the "Cut Word Technique," he discovered that the difference in difficulty between increasing the probability of something to 99% and increasing it to 100% is more than a trillion times.

Completely anchoring the outcome is often a false proposition.

This method can only increase the probability of something happening, but it cannot truly lock in the outcome.

In fact, only omniscience and omnipotence can guarantee that things will happen as expected; otherwise, they are subject to infinite variables.

According to Zhang Ji's calculations, Xiao Mingyu's probability of becoming the chief disciple of the Qingcang Sect at the Fusion Realm was less than five percent.

But things are different now. With Zhang Ji's intervention, the probability has become almost 80%.

That's already quite high.

Now, it's up to fate.

If he can control some of the variables, the probability might be even higher.

After calculating the result, Zhang Ji stopped paying attention to Xiao Mingyu's affairs and focused on cultivating.

On Origin Star, the modification plan for the Heavenly Will Seal has been completed and it is being manufactured into an alchemical organ. Zhang Ji will personally install it next. Before that, he wants to inscribe a system for using the Heavenly Will Seal on himself, just like the [Sword God Array Body] before. This time, the array body he is making for himself is called the [Heavenly Will Array Body].

It involves not only spirit rune technology, but also the magic rune and spell system.

The entire formation connects all the systems in the body, and the Heavenly Will Seal will be installed on the right arm.

At crucial moments, he can raise his hand and unleash the "Heavenly Will Seal".

That move is comparable to the effect of a super S-level master unleashing all of their energy in an attack.

Shattering a continent with a single blow is a piece of cake.

It significantly boosted Zhang Ji's combat power, and more importantly, it was also a crucial combat technique that Zhang Ji calculated and deduced to advance to the Super S-level.

The next day.

The top ten Transformation Realm experts from the Ten Peaks have all arrived at the competition venue.

They will compete together for the title of the first person to undergo the transformation of the Azure Sky.

Unlike previous duels on the arena, this time it's a team battle.

All ten men were thrown into the huge playing field, and only one man remained to win.

A true prodigy is not one whose combat strength is only slightly higher than others of the same level. Only when one can dominate others of the same level and be invincible among them can one be considered a prodigy.

The competition venue is very large, containing many different terrains. The competition lasts for five days, with the circle shrinking every day. Only those with good luck and strong skills can emerge victorious.

At this moment, Zhang Ji and the others took their seats in the audience, while the ten contestants were observed by the huge treasure mirror above the arena, and the images were then projected onto the screens for countless cultivators of the Qingcang Sect to watch.

Those who did not come to Jingchu Peak can also observe through the hand-held mirror.

The peak masters of the ten peaks also personally arrived or directly projected their divine will, expressing their emphasis on cultivating future generations.

Zhang Ji's gaze was mainly fixed on Chen Hong, the peak master of Jingchu Peak and also the sect leader.

He was a member of the Tianmu clan, with a closed cleft between his eyebrows, which was his third divine eye. He would not open it normally, but when he did, it could release divine light and also see through illusions.

What's here now is a projection of him; his true self should still be cultivating in his cave.

Chen Hong has been the leader of the Qingcang Sect for over 40,000 years. He was already at the peak of the Profound Heart Realm back then and was not far from breaking through. Zhang Ji was familiar with the plot and knew that he was also about to take that step and enter the Returning to Emptiness Realm.

Behind Chen Hong and the other sect leaders were the elders, some of whom were cultivators at the Profound Heart Realm. However, their combat strength was far inferior to that of the peak masters of the ten peaks.

Further on, there are those true disciples and the like.

Among these people, Zhang Ji's attention was mainly focused on a young man who also had slits between his eyebrows.

That was also personally taught by the Heavenly Emperor.

Ding Zhuoran, a direct disciple of Dingfeng Luoyuntianjun, is currently at the Rift Mountain Realm.

Whether it was sensing Zhang Ji's observation or not, the man suddenly turned his head and smiled slightly in Zhang Ji's direction, as if to greet him.

"Your perception is not bad."

Zhang Ji gave his evaluation.

It is indeed no easy feat to become a direct disciple of the Heavenly Emperor.

Besides his natural talent, Ding Zhuoran must have some other extraordinary qualities.

However, Zhang Ji did not delve too deeply into it.

Such characters are not uncommon in many parts of the world, but only a handful can truly reach the pinnacle.

These people are not worth his time until they have truly demonstrated the strength and means to warrant his attention.

On the other side, a blue-haired woman from the Lanyou tribe beside Ding Zhuoran noticed his unusual behavior and asked, "Zhuoran, have you seen your friend?"

As Ding Zhuoran's Daoist partner, Xu Youjing has a good understanding of Ding Zhuoran's personality.

Most people don't catch his eye, and even those geniuses who have become the top scholars in their respective sects rarely earn his high regard.

He usually doesn't show any respect to his fellow disciples. If I hadn't accompanied him all the way, I probably wouldn't have gotten a second glance from him. But now, he actually smiled at someone else for the first time ever.

This surprised her.

“A very interesting person,” Ding Zhuoran replied to Xu Youjing.

He had just activated his Heavenly Eye slightly and seen a lot of information about Zhang Ji, but he discovered that it was all fake.

When he tried to see the real information, he couldn't find it anywhere; it was hidden beneath a deeper layer of information.

The man had many secrets, which gave him a vague sense of threat. Moreover, he had recently read a lot of news from within the sect and learned that Zhang Ji was a direct disciple of the Heavenly Monarch, which made him take the matter to heart.

Xu Youjing didn't understand, but she didn't ask any further questions.

She had gotten used to this way of getting along.

If Ding Zhuoran is willing to explain, then she will listen; if he explains further, she will not ask any questions.

The wisest thing to do is to stay by the side of such a talented Daoist partner for a long time.

Let's return our attention to the competition.

The competition in the Transformation Realm is not very entertaining, since the energy is limited and the commotion it causes is so-so.

However, the ten Transcendent Realm cultivators before them were the strongest Transcendent Realm experts selected from the entire sect.

Their clashes were quite interesting.

His combat skills, intelligence, and luck are all among the best of his class.

Some people set up terrain on the spot to create a favorable fighting environment for themselves, while others rely on their special talents to conceal their presence and lie in wait to reap the benefits in the end.

Some, believing themselves to be unparalleled in strength, headed straight for the core area, intending to occupy a position and challenge everyone thereafter.

Wanlan was among them. She was from the Guju tribe and preferred the terrain of the jungle, so she hid in the mountains and forests from the beginning.

They encountered an opponent midway, but the two did not fight to the death. After exchanging a few quick blows, they realized that they could not easily defeat each other, and they tacitly separated.

This is the norm.

True geniuses with the ability to overpower their peers are usually few and far between.

Even within the Qingcang Sect, it often takes more than a decade to encounter such a person.

Moreover, that kind of thing can only be done at a lower level. The higher the level, the less likely it is to be invincible among those of the same level.

Often, once they reach the Rift Mountain Realm, they begin to blend into the crowd.

Even true disciples cannot do it.

Only the direct disciple of the Heavenly Emperor can remain invincible among those of the same rank.

As time passed, the battle zone began to shrink, and soon they were forced to engage in frequent combat.

Wanlan encountered a plant-based genius. This race is genderless, all being hermaphroditic. They have long hair on their bodies like roots, and hair on their heads like leaves and vines. Their skin has many fine patterns, making them quite powerful in defense and endurance. They also have very long lifespans, generally over a thousand years.

Faced with Wanlan's numerous attacks, the opponent directly rooted himself in the earth to draw nutrients, his body entwined with vines, constantly resisting Wanlan's offensive. Wanlan could only cut off some vines, failing to cause him any real damage, and was gradually sealed off by the densely woven prison of roots around him, completely losing his escape route and space for flexible movement.

She was really unlucky, encountering such a formidable opponent right from the start.

After a long and fierce battle, both sides revealed their magical artifacts.

The use of magical artifacts is permitted during the competition, but one cannot exceed one's own cultivation level.

According to the seven ranks of Void, Darkness, Saint, Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, the Transformation Realm can only use Yellow-rank magic weapons.

The plant race's genius wielded a defensive inner armor and over a dozen offensive weapons, maximizing his advantages.

At this moment, Wanlan was almost directly facing a situation where she was surrounded and attacked by multiple people.

Just when everyone thought she was going to be eliminated, her figure suddenly disappeared for a moment. The next moment, a bloody hole appeared in the chest of the plant race genius, from which dark green blood flowed out.

He was immediately deemed incapacitated and teleported out of the arena to receive treatment.

Wan Lan only revealed herself not far behind the plant race genius at this moment. She was not in good condition, with a pale face and white lips. This move was obviously a self-destructive strong move that could only be used in critical moments. Now that it had been forced out prematurely, she would probably not be competitive afterward.

Indeed, that was the case. After the rankings were narrowed down, she was quickly eliminated, and her final ranking was sixth.

In the end, the winner was a barbarian man from Liuyun Peak. He had a muscular body, and his defense, strength, and endurance far surpassed those of his peers. His only weakness was his speed. He won by relying on his high attack and high defense to fight in a shrinking circle.

After the awards were presented with encouragement via a projection of the divine will of Master Chen Hong, the intermission began.

The next day, the competition for the Divine Aperture Realm began.

It's still a shrinking circle, just with a larger playing field.

But they only gave us five days.

However, Zhang Ji did not intend to complete the full five days.

He wouldn't even want a single day! (End of Chapter)
