Chapter 206 Golden Core cultivators gather, the grand assembly begins [Please subscribe]

Yunzhou, the Yunyue Mountains.

As the number one mountain in Yunzhou, the Yunyue Mountain Range was originally the location of Xianyun Market, the largest market in Yunzhou, and also the location of the mountain gates of several well-known cultivation families in Yunzhou.

Even in ordinary times, cultivators can often be seen appearing in the Yunyue Mountains.

Now, with the "Hundred Races Conference" being held here, the Yunyue Mountains have become a gathering place for cultivators, with cultivators riding the wind and flying through the air all over the mountains.

When the Zhou family arrived at the venue of the "Hundred Clans Assembly," a valley surrounded by mountains, they saw that no fewer than ten thousand cultivators had already gathered inside and outside the valley.

Some of these cultivators lived in families, while others occupied a mountain peak and used magic to temporarily create and build stone houses as resting places.

Some would gather in groups of three or five, finding an open space to pitch a tent or simply build a thatched hut.

Some people simply find a rock or a tall tree, sit under the open sky, and do whatever they please.

"Let's find a place to settle down first!"

Zhou Mingde glanced around and casually stated his plan.

The Zhou family was a well-known cultivation clan in Lanzhou, so they couldn't possibly be like those rogue cultivators and cultivators from small families, simply setting up a thatched hut or a tent as their campsite.

However, by this time, all the good spots had already been snapped up, making it difficult for them to find a suitable place.

The main problem is that this place is a mixed bag, and Zhou Chun, who always cherishes his reputation, doesn't want to tarnish his family's name because of something like this.

After searching for quite some time, they finally settled down on a mountain peak more than ten miles away from the valley.

There was originally a small family occupying this mountain peak, but when the Zhou family's large group of cultivators arrived, the head of that small family quickly and tactfully gave up the place.

This attitude greatly pleased the Zhou family, and Zhou Daoyi even gave them a second-tier low-grade magic talisman as compensation.

After securing the territory, Zhou Daoquan patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released his spirit pet, the Earth Armor Bear. He then commanded the spirit pet to gather earth into stone and build a stone house on the spot.

In less than an hour, seven stone houses were built on the mountain peak.

After the stone house was built, Zhou Jiacheng and the other Zhou family cultivators who accompanied him felled trees and carved stones on the spot, and soon built tables, chairs and beds.

At this time, Zhou Chun, who had gone out to gather information, also returned to his post.

He slowly said, "I just took a walk around and asked some fellow Daoists who arrived early. So far, the people from the three major sects have not yet arrived, but eight of the Golden Core families have already come!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately nodded and said, "The people from the three major sects are probably all staying in Xianyun Market right now. They probably won't be able to come until the day before the conference. As for those Golden Core families, they have Golden Core cultivators to guide them on their journey, so they don't need to worry about being late. They probably won't arrive until a day or two before the conference either."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not worry about what others do. Let's all rest and recuperate for the next few days and prepare for the tournament!"

The truth is pretty much as Zhou Mingde described.

In the following days, although many cultivation families continued to arrive from afar, including powerful families like the Yan family of Cangzhou whom they had seen before, they did not see many Golden Core stage cultivators.

It wasn't until the day before the conference started that those Golden Core families arrived one after another, as if they had made a pact.

First, a silver light pierced through the sky, tearing through the white clouds and appearing above the valley, revealing a giant silver sword and dozens of cultivators standing on it.

Not long after, a cloud of fire carrying more than thirty cultivators drifted over.

A while later, a blue ribbon carrying more than twenty cultivators flew in from beyond the sky, led by a rare female Golden Core cultivator.

This day was probably the day when many cultivators in the Yunyue Mountains saw the most Golden Core cultivators and magical treasures in their entire lives.

In just over a day, nearly ten Golden Core cultivators arrived, each wielding a different kind of magical treasure, much to the delight of the cultivators who had arrived earlier.

When these Golden Core cultivators arrived at the scene with their family descendants, almost every mountain peak they looked at had its original inhabitants obediently move away, without exception.

This is the deterrent power of a Golden Core stage cultivator!

In this world of cultivation, only those who have formed a Golden Core can be called powerful figures, and they are at the top of the food chain wherever they go.

After all seventeen cultivation families in Jingguo with Golden Core cultivators had arrived, not long after, the people from the three major sects also finally rushed out from Xianyun Market.

Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound filled the sky, and a giant ship shining with silver-white light flew in and slowly landed above the valley.

"It's the Moonlight Treasure Ship of the Moon Wheel Cult! The Moon Wheel Cult members arrived first!"

A knowledgeable cultivator, upon seeing the giant ship, quickly let out a low exclamation.

Before the cultivators who witnessed this scene could discuss it further, a flash of fire appeared, and a crimson shuttle-shaped magic weapon, twenty or thirty feet long and more than one foot wide in the middle, appeared out of thin air above the valley.

"The Blazing Sun Shuttle, a magical treasure of the Blazing Sun Sect! The people from the Blazing Sun Sect have arrived!"

Another gasp rang out, revealing the answer.

Immediately afterwards, another cyan jade ruyi flew down from the sky, with nearly a hundred Qinglian Temple cultivators dressed in Taoist robes standing on it.

At this point, the cultivators from the three major sects of Jingguo had all arrived.

Then, the three magical treasures in the sky were collected by their respective owners, and the cultivators from the three major sects also landed on the valley floor. Only three Golden Core cultivators remained suspended in the air.

"I, the Old Woman, have taught Qiuyue the Moon Wheel Technique!"

In the sky, a beautiful woman in a white dress with an elegant and noble demeanor spoke first, introducing herself.

As soon as he finished speaking, another tall and imposing old man with a long beard immediately chimed in, "I am Zhen Bingyang of the Yan Yang Sect!"

"This humble Taoist priest is Shan Yangzi of Qinglian Temple!"

The last person, a middle-aged Taoist priest in a yellow robe, also smiled and revealed his origins.

After introducing themselves, the three glanced at the numerous cultivators inside and outside the valley below and said in unison, "Entrusted by our sect, the three of us will be responsible for hosting and supervising this Hundred Clans Assembly. We ask for your cooperation, fellow cultivators."

The sound was like thunder, deafening and resounding.

However, no one responded below, nor was there any need for anyone else to respond.

As soon as the three Golden Core cultivators finished speaking, the beautiful woman in the white dress, Bi Qiuyue, and the long-bearded elder, Zhen Bingyang, landed on the ground and directed the cultivators they had brought with them to set up the venue in the valley.

Meanwhile, the yellow-robed Taoist Shan Yangzi remained suspended in the air, reading out the rules that the three major sects had set for this "Hundred Clans Conference".

"This Hundred Clans Conference is jointly organized by the Moon Wheel Sect, the Flame Sun Sect, and the Azure Lotus Temple. All cultivation families belonging to the Jing Kingdom are welcome to register for this grand event."

"To ensure fairness and impartiality, the use of talismans, magical artifacts, or other similar items is strictly prohibited at this event. Violators will be automatically disqualified and will be severely punished!"

"For safety reasons, a team will be automatically eliminated when three out of five members are eliminated, or a team of ten members is eliminated!"

"To ensure fairness, the Golden Core families will automatically qualify for the top 30, but they can still register to participate in the tournament. Their points will not be counted towards the final score!"

"This tournament will be divided into group stages and a final thirteen round. All registered clans will be randomly assigned to five groups. The top six clans in each group will qualify for the final thirteen round, and the rest will be eliminated!"

"Finally, due to the large number of participants, this conference may take a long time. Fellow Daoists who wish to achieve good results, please consider the issue of recovery carefully."

In the sky, the yellow-robed Taoist Shan Yangzi solemnly read out the rules before landing on the ground.

After hearing the rules for attending the meeting announced by Yamayoko, many of the family members present changed color slightly.

They were all people who prepared powerful talismans, talismanic treasures, and talismanic artifacts in advance in order to achieve better results.

They thought that these expensively prepared items would help them go further at the conference, but unexpectedly, they were directly banned.

However, after hearing the competition rules, the three members of the Zhou family smiled knowingly, revealing expressions of not expecting it.

After hearing about the "Hundred Clans Assembly," Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun discussed whether or not to prepare these things.

However, after discussion, both of them believed that since the three major sects were going to use this "Hundred Clans Conference" to mobilize the major cultivation families of Jing Kingdom, they would definitely not let these cultivation families waste those treasures with limited usage times at the conference.

Why not let them keep these treasures and use them later when they conquer the Dragon Transformation Sect?

Therefore, the Zhou family did not equip any of its members with those powerful, one-time-use treasures this time.

While many attendees were troubled by Shan Yangzi's words, the cultivators from the three major sects quickly set up the relevant formations.

They set up three formations in total, corresponding to the Purple Mansion Field, the Foundation Building Field, and the Qi Refining Field, respectively.

At the same time, the various registered families began to draw lots to be assigned to groups.

This tournament is divided into five groups: A, B, C, D, and X. Each family in a group will compete against the other families once to earn points.

The rules of this conference are relatively favorable to the Zhou family.

After the lottery, Zhou Mingde, the representative sent by the Zhou family, was assigned to Group C.

After the draw was completed and the number of families in each group was announced, Zhou Chun and his group discovered that Group C had the fewest families, with only thirty-two.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but laugh, "We're lucky. With fewer matches, we can play fewer games and save more energy to try and make it into the top 30!"

But Zhou Chun turned his gaze to another place.

Those are the mountain peaks on the west side of the valley.

At this time, those mountain peaks had been requisitioned by the three major sects, and a purification array had been set up on them using array flags, array plates, and array artifacts.

After the battles, cultivators who participated in the "Hundred Races Assembly" could immediately go there to meditate and recover their magical power.

This movable purification array can be said to be an array specially researched and developed for war.

Only major powers like the three major sects possess such skills; ordinary Golden Core families cannot achieve them.

With this movable purification array in existence, even enemies who have gone on a long and arduous expedition need not worry about not finding a place to resupply and rest.

Of course, the Purification Array is still a Purification Array after all. It still needs cultivators to maintain its operation in order to be effective. Moreover, this kind of movable Purification Array can only be controlled by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Once the purification array was set up, Shan Yangzi of Qinglian Temple spoke in a deep voice: "I now declare the Hundred Races Assembly officially open!"

After saying that, he had the family representatives of Group A stand together and began to arrange their order of appearance.

"The first match of Group A in the Hundred Clans Tournament: The Fang Family of Yunzhou versus the Kong Family of Yanzhou!"

As the referee Qingyangzi finished speaking, the two teams quickly rushed out from around the valley and arrived outside the three formation arenas.

Neither of these families were particularly famous; at least Zhou Chun had never heard of them.

Each of their Purple Mansion stage teams only had one Purple Mansion stage cultivator, and the Foundation Establishment stage team of the Fang family in Yunzhou didn't even have five people!

Once the two teams arrived outside the arena, the cultivators from the three major sects who were in charge of the arena formation immediately distributed tokens to them, allowing them to refine them briefly.

That's a life-saving item. Once activated, it instantly grants the user the protection of an array, preventing them from dying at the hands of their opponent.

However, once this substance is activated, it is automatically considered obsolete.

Two of the cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage were the first to finish refining their tokens, so they entered the arena to fight.

On the arena, which was shrouded in a transparent array of light, two cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage immediately launched an attack on their opponent by summoning their magical artifacts as soon as they entered the arena.

Both were at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner. However, the scene of various magical artifacts and spells clashing and fighting fiercely made many viewers' blood boil.

Some cultivators who knew about the two also took the opportunity to comment on the battle for their family's younger generation.

"The Fang family's 'Binghuo Yuangong' is quite exquisite. Not only is the cultivation speed fast, but the accompanying spells and supernatural powers are also quite powerful. After reaching the Purple Mansion stage, one can even awaken a supernatural power called Binghuo Thunder Pearl, which can condense pure Binghuo spiritual power into a thunder pearl and store it in the dantian. When used, it can be unleashed with great power. You all need to watch carefully later!"

Inside the residence of a local cultivation family in Yunzhou, an elder at the Purple Mansion stage watched the battle unfold while recounting what he knew to the younger members of his family.

At another location, there were also powerful figures from Yanzhou who knew about the Kong family of Yanzhou, explaining what they knew to the younger generation.

This "Hundred Clans Assembly" was indeed a mobilization meeting convened by the three major sects in preparation for their campaign against the Dragon Transformation Sect.

However, it did provide a broad platform for exchange for the various families of Jingguo, allowing them to witness the style of cultivators from other families outside the local area, appreciate the extraordinary skills and secret techniques of other families, and greatly broaden their horizons.

Therefore, any family that knows the benefits of this event attaches great importance to this Hundred Clans Conference.

This is the first update for today. The second update will definitely be on time at 8 PM tonight! Updates will resume tomorrow morning. I feel like I've recovered a bit today!
