My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

"Next, the organizers will create a relatively fair competition environment for everyone. The participants come from different backgrounds; some are poor, and some are rich."

Therefore, each participant may only choose one magical artifact to participate in, and may not use elixirs or talismans.

In terms of spiritual power cultivation, all participants are at the first grade, tenth level.

Physical attributes are closely related to the bloodline technology used by each individual; therefore, data correction technology will not be used, allowing for the retention of differences in physical attributes.

"The Bloodline Competition tests the potential of one's bloodline, the cultivator's application of bloodline power, and the profound combination of bloodline and Daoist techniques."

This bloodline competition is divided into two stages.

The first stage is the preliminary selection.

In the preliminary stage, eight sub-regions will be set up based on the eight continents of this plane.

All participants will be randomly assigned to one of the eight regional divisions.

The preliminary round lasts for one month, during which the competition area will be continuously reduced, and all participants must compete to select one hundred survivors within one month.

The top 100 contestants from each of the eight regional divisions, making a total of 800, advanced to the second stage.

The preliminary selection process was the most brutal.

With 1.4 billion participants, averaging nearly 180 million participants in each region, only 100 people were ultimately selected to advance.

The odds of advancing are comparable to winning the second prize in the China Welfare Lottery's Double Color Ball game.

Not only that.

The format is still battle royale, with all sorts of sneaky and unpredictable tactics that are impossible to defend against.

……

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qing continued reading:

The second stage is the knockout stage.

Eight hundred people were randomly selected and went through three rounds of elimination in pairs to choose the top one hundred.

then.

The remaining teams will be randomly drawn, and through two rounds of elimination, the top 25 will be selected.

Finally, there's the points-based competition.

The top 25 cultivators will fight in pairs, with one point awarded for each victory. The final ranking of the top 25 will be determined by their total points.

"The first stage, the preliminary round, tests survival skills."

"In the second stage, the knockout rounds will depend on both luck and skill."

"Yes, luck is also a part of ability."

After reading the letter from the official Immortal Kingdom, Gu Qing felt a bit of pressure.

Especially in the preliminary rounds.

Using a battle royale-style screening method will inevitably lead to a problem.

That means the people from major companies will inevitably unite to deal with people from other forces.

This could very well escalate into a conflict between thousands, or even tens of thousands, of people.

"Attention everyone, the Bloodline Competition is about to begin. You will all be randomly teleported and assigned to your respective competition zones."

"Please hurry up and check your ritual implements, and lock them in place. Once the competition begins, you cannot change your ritual implements."

Just as Gu Qing was pondering how to deal with the chaotic battle, a voice rang out in the Spirit Realm.

Gu Qing glanced at his possessions; his only magical artifact was the Karmic Fire Sand Melting Gourd.

There's no need to choose at all.

The spiritual world created by the supreme immortal artifact [Tai Xu Shu Ji] is a 100% virtual replica of the Karmic Fire Melting Sand Gourd.

"Random teleportation countdown, 60...50...40..."

Watching the numbers jumping in the virtual plane.

Everyone's nerves were on edge; after all, nobody wanted to be eliminated early.

「10……9……8……7……6……5……4……3……2……1。」

"Teleport!!"

As soon as the word "teleport" was uttered, 1.4 billion contestants in the Spirit Realm instantly vanished from their original locations.

At the same time.

In the center of the eight continents in the 1086 virtual plane, eight miniature continents were generated, each of which housed nearly 1.8 million people.

The others in the virtual plane formed a structure resembling a gladiatorial arena around these eight miniature continents.

Anyone can watch the game.

Furthermore, by entering the name of the participant, you can even view that participant's third-person perspective, just like watching a game live stream.

……

After the teleportation ended, Gu Qing carefully looked around and found himself in a supermarket filled with various shelves and supplies.

These virtual lifestyle products are edible and can even provide feedback on tastes such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty.

Gu Qing activated the Tai Xu Dharma Seal, which immediately produced a light screen displaying the progress of the preliminary round:

Contestant: Gu Qing

Region: South Australia Mainland Region

Surviving participants: 1.7 million

Countdown: 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 54 seconds

The competition zone shrinking countdown has begun: 47 hours, 59 minutes, and 54 seconds. At the end of the countdown, the competition zone will shrink. If a participant is still outside the safe zone when the countdown ends, they will be eliminated.

Note: The South Australia Mainland competition area is a scaled-down version of the South Australia Mainland, covering an area of ​​769 million square kilometers. The terrain is divided into three distinct longitudinal zones from east to west.

The eastern mountains form the Great Dividing Range, running through the continent from north to south, and are considered the continent's water tower.

The central plains are low-lying and flat, with abundant groundwater resources, and belong to the grassland area.

The western plateau covers 60 percent of the continent's area, and its surface is mostly desert and semi-desert.

There are 23 cities in total on the entire continent.

Competition rules: Death means elimination, and the last 100 people will advance.

……

"The competition has only just begun, and ten million participants have already been eliminated?"

"How did they die?"

Looking at the number of survivors on the screen, Gu Qing couldn't help but frown.

Make sense.

The entire South Australia region is roughly the size of Australia in my previous life. With such a large area, it can accommodate 1.8 million people, and the population density is not high.

"Did someone start slaughtering everyone as soon as they came in?"

The competition is a survival mode, so logically, you should keep a low profile and play it safe, without revealing your hand.

Cultivators don't engage in mindless hacking and slashing during battles.

If the two are evenly matched in cultivation, then during the battle, they need to constantly probe their opponent to gather intelligence, find the opponent's weakness, and finally deliver a fatal blow.

Engaging in battle prematurely and revealing your true strength could allow other enemies to find ways to counter you.

"Boom..."

Just as Gu Qing was deep in thought,

A loud bang suddenly came from the street across from the supermarket.

Gu Qing quickly looked across the street and saw two people burst out of a window in the middle of a fifty-story residential building. The two people cast a spell in mid-air, and the upper half of the residential building collapsed.

By sheer coincidence, the upper half of the collapsed residential building tilted towards Gu Qing's side.

woo woo woo...

The half of the residential building that fell from the sky tore through the air, emitting a low groan, as if Mount Tai had collapsed.

"Damn it."

"We were caught in the crossfire."

Upon seeing this, Gu Qing immediately broke out of the supermarket window and moved towards the distant street.

"Boom—"

however.

Before Gu Qing could emerge from the shadow of the collapsed residential building, a cultivator dressed in a green robe suddenly appeared on the street ahead. He held a vine-like magical artifact in his hand and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"Kid, I'm here today."

"You're not leaving this street! You'll be smashed into a pulp!"

"Strangulation of Wood..."

Before the man finished speaking, the vine-like magical artifact shot out a beam of green light, which landed on the flowers, plants, and trees on both sides of the street.

next moment.

The flowers, plants, and trees on both sides of the street began to grow wildly, like giant pythons, frantically strangling Gu Qing.

"court death!"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Qing's eyes.
