Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he saw that five people had arrived before him. Ji Wushang immediately recognized Lei Batian of Thunderclap City and Xu Yang of the Star Pavilion. He stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Lei, Brother Xu, fellow Daoists, I finally get to meet you in person." They had only communicated through voice transmissions and had only seen each other's images.

Lei Batian and Xu Yang also cupped their hands in return, saying, "Brother Ji, you are too kind. Our friendship as allies is unbreakable." As he spoke, he looked at the three people around him. Ji Wushang looked at the three of them, but he didn't recognize any of them. He nodded to them as a greeting. After hearing this, the three also knew Ji Wushang's identity. This person was the newly rising Palace Master of Canglan Palace.

Xu Yang transmitted a voice to Ji Wushang, "The one in the middle wearing a Daoist robe is Wuchen of the Dao Palace. The old man to his left is Tianjizi of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and the one to his right is Qingxuan of the Tai Xu Palace."

Ji Wushang nodded after hearing this. Subsequently, people arrived one after another, and Xu Yang introduced them to Ji Wushang one by one. "The gloomy fellow who just came in is Hei Ming of the Nine Nether Palace, and the seemingly simple and honest one behind him is Xiong Kuo of the Myriad Beasts Mountain."

Ji Wushang nodded to everyone who arrived. After less than an incense stick of time, the last two people arrived one after another. Xu Yang continued to introduce, "The one who looks like he's on fire is Yang Fentian of the炎Yang Valley, and I don't need to introduce the last one. You're probably more familiar with the Heavenly Sword Gate than I am."

As soon as Tian Jianzi, the last one, came in, he saw Ji Wushang and said in a strange tone, "Oh, isn't this the Palace Master of our Canglan Palace? You came so early. I thought you'd be able to drink some good wine."

These words directly offended the Canglan Palace and Dao Palace. The Canglan Palace didn't care, as they were already opponents on the surface. He also sarcastically implied that the Dao Palace didn't know how to treat guests.

Yang Fentian of the炎Yang Valley couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Daoist Tian Jianzi, your words are a bit strange."

Ji Wushang then interjected, "Daoist Yang, there's no need to pay attention to this person. Some people are just sour grapes."

Tian Jianzi snorted and said, "I won't bother with you this time. Our two sects will have plenty of time in the future."

Ji Wushang also said, "My Canglan Palace will accompany you to the end!"

"Alright, fellow Daoists, please be patient. I know there are grudges between you, but it's giving my Dao Palace some face that you've all come to my Dao Palace today. How about you all take your seats first?" Wuchen, who was at the head, spoke to ease the situation.

Seeing Wuchen speak, the two of them didn't say much and took their seats.

"Today, I have invited everyone here to discuss the matters of the Grand Competition. It will be the same as the previous Grand Competitions, divided into the following stages.

First round: Scramble. Obtain spirit crystals within the secret realm. Six thousand participants will be teleported to various locations within the secret realm simultaneously, with a time limit of five days. When the time is up, they will be teleported out. At that time, the top two thousand with spirit crystals will advance to the next round.

Second round: Elimination round. The two thousand people will be divided into twenty groups, with one hundred people in each group. They will enter a closed space for a free-for-all. The top ten in each group will advance to the next round.

Third round: Arena battle. Two hundred people will draw lots randomly for one-on-one arena battles. To avoid the strong drawing each other, the losers can propose a challenge. If the challenger succeeds, they will advance to the next round with the winners. If the challenged fails, they will be eliminated.

Fourth round: Top 100 battle. The participants will be divided into ten groups, with ten people in each group. Each person will fight the other nine people in their group. Winning a match will earn one point. The person with the most points in each group will advance to the top ten of this Grand Competition.

After the top ten are determined, they can accept challenges from the remaining ninety-one people, except for their group members. If successful, the challenger will replace the challenged's ranking, determining the top ten before advancing to the next round.

Final round: Final. Each of the ten people will fight the other nine people, and the final ranking will be based on the number of wins."

Ji Wushang nodded after hearing this. This competition system could almost perfectly determine the true strength of geniuses.

Wuchen looked at everyone and continued after seeing no objections, "If you all have no objections, we will continue with this Grand Competition rule. You can now hand over the names and soul imprints of the geniuses participating in the Grand Competition to me."

Ji Wushang looked at Wuchen in confusion. Wuchen looked at Ji Wushang's confusion and explained, "Before the start of the Grand Competition, we need to prepare identity jade tokens for them to prevent anyone from interfering in the middle of the Grand Competition."

Ji Wushang really didn't know this, and no one had mentioned it. He immediately sent a message to Luo Tianyi to send a copy of the names and soul imprints of the geniuses participating in this Grand Competition.

The others were all prepared. Each person took out a jade slip and handed it to Wuchen, then turned and left. Tian Jianzi said jokingly, "It's been tens of thousands of years since I've seen such a bumpkin." After saying that, he laughed and left.

Xu Yang and Lei Batian on the side were also a little embarrassed. Xu Yang said, "Brother Ji, I thought you knew. So I didn't remind you." As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tianyi's beautiful figure appeared outside the hall. Ji Wushang didn't say anything, flashed out, took the jade slip, came in, and handed it directly to Wuchen. This set of operations was smooth and flowing.

Ji Wushang turned his head and said to the two, "Brother Lei, Brother Xu, don't be stunned, let's go!"

While walking, he also said, "I just forgot to bring it!"

At this time, a voice came from behind, "Please wait a moment, Palace Master Ji."

Ji Wushang and the three stopped at the same time, turned around, and looked at Wuchen. Ji Wushang said, "I wonder what else is the matter, Daoist Wuchen."

Wuchen asked, "There is a person named Xiao Chen on the list of Canglan Palace this time. Is he the Ancient Desolate Saint Physique, Xiao Chen?"

Ji Wushang understood in his heart that it was about Xiao Chen. He said calmly, "That's right."

Wuchen said, "This son is extremely important to my Dao Palace, and my Dao Palace does not want to become enemies with the Canglan Palace. If the Canglan Palace insists on protecting this son, then don't blame my Dao Palace for taking him by force."

Ji Wushang said, "Snatching someone from my Canglan Palace, then I want to see how the Dao Palace plans to snatch him."

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and sparks shot out from their eyes.

After a few breaths, Wuchen said, "Is the Canglan Palace really going to do this?"

Ji Wushang pretended to think for a while, and then said, "How about we each take a step back? After this Grand Competition ends, this son will be at the disposal of the Dao Palace. This is my bottom line. If the Dao Palace still can't agree, then let's have a clash."

As soon as these words came out, Lei Batian and Xu Yang also looked at Wuchen. Ji Wushang was extremely happy in his heart. He could only act to this point. He thought that after the Grand Competition, the probability of your Dao Palace continuing to exist was almost zero. He knew that the people of the Sword Pavilion had all quietly returned to the Eastern Region for various reasons in the past ten years, and their strength was terrifying to the point that he couldn't imagine.

Wuchen looked at the posture of the three and thought that he would just wait a few more days and do strict monitoring during the period. He thought that the kid would not be able to escape. So he said, "Is this true?"

Ji Wushang said, "I can swear to the Heavenly Dao."
