The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2155: Points Contest

The two people representing the Mystic Moon Trading House in this battle, the first was Jiao Zuoyan, who came in as a Hired, and the second was a cultivator nurtured internally by the Mystic Moon Trading House, named Zhou Qingyao.

The two of them walked to stand before Yuantong Immortal Venerable, and after receiving Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s permission, they sat down cross-legged. After that, a mighty surge of Power gushed out from the black vortex, enveloping the two of them. One could see two figures appear, and in the blink of an eye they dove into the black vortex.

Those two figures were illusion bodies.

As the illusion bodies of Jiao Zuoyan and Zhou Qingyao entered the black vortex, on one side of Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s body, a Light Screen woven from Laws also appeared.

The amount of Points Jiao Zuoyan and the other would obtain inside the secret realm would be displayed on the Law Light Screen in real time.

A cup of tea later, Jiao Zuoyan had obtained one Point.

After two cups of tea, Jiao Zuoyan’s Points became two, and Zhou Qingyao also obtained one.

Each round of the Yellow Springs Points battle lasted at most one day. If all illusion bodies that entered the secret realm were killed, then the battle would end ahead of time. That is to say, even if the illusion bodies were not killed, they could remain inside the secret realm for at most one day.

The illusion bodies of Jiao Zuoyan and the other had just entered the secret realm, the level of danger was still very low right now, so there was basically no possibility of the illusion bodies being killed. Even ordinary Peak of Netherworld Realm cultivators could fight for quite a while inside the secret realm.

The leaders of the Four Great Forces had not yet placed much attention on the changes in Jiao Zuoyan and the other’s Points. The secret realm had just opened, there would not be much difference in Points; only after a few hours would it truly be time to test the strength of the cultivators entering the secret realm.

The Shen Zhou Heavenly Monarchs not far away were also explaining some details about the Yellow Springs Points battle to the cultivators under their command. Many people were speculating which of the Four Great Forces would obtain the most Yellow Springs Points.

"Both Jiao Zuoyan and Zhou Qingyao are extremely formidable cultivators, their strength can completely compare to many experts at the Immortal Rhythm Level. In my opinion, the Yellow Springs Points of the Mystic Moon Trading House should be the highest among the Four Great Forces." someone said, gaze intent.

"Mm, I’ve long heard the names of Senior Brother Jiao Zuoyan and Senior Brother Zhou Qingyao. With the two of them fighting for the Mystic Moon Trading House, their chances of victory are indeed very high."

"The Shadow Tower isn’t weak either, I heard they hired Senior Brother Tao Bi. Senior Brother Tao Bi’s strength is in no way inferior to Senior Brother Jiao Zuoyan’s. If we’re talking about who can last longer inside the secret realm, I fear Senior Brother Tao Bi might be a step above!"

"..."

Those cultivators at the Peak of All Things Realm were all in high spirits. By coming this time to the entrance of the Yellow Spring Cave, their horizons had broadened considerably. Otherwise, with their abilities, they would hardly have any chance to see a cultivator of Jiao Zuoyan’s level, let alone figures like Yuantong Immortal Venerable and the heads of the Four Great Forces.

Many people were also discussing the Ancient Land of Morning Light.

The Ancient Land of Morning Light was a rather special place, different from the vast majority of cultivators; what they emphasized was Physical Body Power. In the first round of the Yellow Springs Points battle, the Ancient Land of Morning Light had not hired any Hired provided by Yuantong Immortal Venerable; clearly, for the first round they intended to send out two cultivators from their own Ancient Land.

The strength of cultivators from the Ancient Land of Morning Light was not easy to judge; without crossing hands, it was hard to say how strong they really were. But no one dared to underestimate the Ancient Land of Morning Light; cultivators coming out of the Ancient Land of Morning Light were each more ferocious than the last.

As time passed, the Points of Jiao Zuoyan and Zhou Qingyao kept increasing. After three hours, the Points of the two combined already approached three hundred.

At this time, a smile had already appeared on Inspector Ao Hong’s face. Because by now, the Yellow Springs Points obtained by Jiao Zuoyan and Zhou Qingyao had already reached his minimum requirement.

Being able to hold on inside the secret realm for three hours was already extremely rare. Even if ordinary cultivators at the Immortal Rhythm Level entered this secret realm, they would more or less only be able to last for three hours or a bit more than three hours.

Less than an hour later, Zhou Qingyao’s body trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes, gasping heavily. His complexion looked slightly pale.

His illusion body had been killed inside the secret realm.

He stood up, shook his head, bowed to Yuantong Immortal Venerable, and then quickly returned to the side of Inspector Ao Hong and the others.

"Inspector General, I’ve let you down." Zhou Qingyao said with his head lowered.

His illusion body had already done its utmost inside the secret realm.

"It’s fine, you’ve already done your best. Moreover, your performance counts as decent; go and have a good rest for a while!" Inspector Ao Hong said to Zhou Qingyao with a smile.

Zhou Qingyao had obtained more than one hundred and sixty Points in total; compared to the results of previous Yellow Springs Points battles, this amount of Points was not low, at least above the Intermediate level.

Jiao Zuoyan’s strength was clearly somewhat greater than Zhou Qingyao’s; his illusion body was still fighting inside the secret realm, and his Points were continuing to rise.

"Haha, spending four billion Black Crystal Stone to hire Little Friend Jiao Zuoyan is completely worth it." Inspector Ao Hong said with a laugh.

Xin Si and the others all glanced at Ao Hong, but none of these people said anything.

Xin Si subconsciously took a look at Xiao Ran, who was standing over there, his face expressionless; it was unknown what this Clan Leader of the Xin Family was thinking in his heart.

A cup of tea later, Jiao Zuoyan’s body shuddered, and he also awoke.

Clearly, Jiao Zuoyan’s illusion body had been killed inside the secret realm. Jiao Zuoyan and Zhou Qingyao had both failed to hold out for four hours inside the secret realm.

Jiao Zuoyan had obtained more than one hundred and ninety Points, close to two hundred; adding Zhou Qingyao’s Points, the two had a total of more than three hundred and sixty Yellow Springs Points.

"Will the Shadow Tower please send out the first-round combatants for the Yellow Springs Points battle." Yuantong Immortal Venerable looked toward Gong Zhi Buddha of the Shadow Tower.

Gong Zhi nodded slightly to the two people standing beside him.

Tao Bi and another Peak of Netherworld Realm cultivator nurtured by the Shadow Tower walked out from Gong Zhi’s side, and likewise sat down cross-legged before Yuantong Immortal Venerable.

Of the two people representing the Shadow Tower in this battle, Tao Bi’s strength went without saying; he was an expert whose strength was on par with Jiao Zuoyan. As for the other, his entire body was shrouded in a black robe, and his figure was relatively thin and small. Even within the Four Great Forces, few people knew much about this person. Cultivators of the Shadow Tower were extremely mysterious and rarely appeared in public, which was related to the nature of their profession. But it could be assumed that this person’s strength would not be weak.

In the first round of the Yellow Springs Points battle, the Four Great Forces would certainly all try their best to avoid falling behind. This could already be seen from the Mystic Moon Trading House sending out Jiao Zuoyan and Zhou Qingyao.

After the two sent by the Shadow Tower sat down cross-legged, that black vortex once again surged out a mighty wave of energy, condensing into two illusion bodies that flew into the vortex.
