Chapter 328: Chapter 32: The Merits of Qing Ling
“As for the rest of the cultivators, your Seven Domains Debate Dao has come to an end,” the Chang Geng Sect Leader said indifferently.
This statement made the hearts of the talented cultivators from the Seven Domains of the Human Race sink.
After striving for so long, they had now been completely eliminated, and they were even painfully aware of the vast gap between themselves and the truly talented cultivators.
This was their inner demon, but also an opportunity. If they could not overcome it, they might lose their self-confidence and have their Dao hearts become unstable, never recovering from this setback.
But if they managed to overcome it, it was not impossible for them to advance courageously and achieve a turnaround.
In the world of cultivators, there was an abundance of uncertainty. That is precisely its charm.
“However, there’s no need to be disheartened. It seems that many of the top hundred sects are quite interested in a great number of you,” Chang Geng Sect Leader said with a faint smile.
“So being eliminated does not mean that you have nothing left. It’s possible that in a short while, you will receive invitations from the top hundred sects, or even from a Taoist Sect.”
A very plain sentence, yet it made the lights within the previously disheartened cultivators’ eyes begin to twinkle again.
“Moreover, Debate Dao City is not rushing you to leave. You can choose to depart from here and return to your respective domains, or you can stay in the city and watch the rest of the Seven Domains Debate Dao competition.
My suggestion is that you stay and witness the event in its entirety. After all, such a grand occasion, being able to watch the current generation’s strongest cultivators engage in magical combat, should be of great help to your vision and the direction of your cultivation,” Chang Geng Sect Leader added.
By the final decisive round of the Seven Domains Debate Dao, the cultivators remaining, aside from those from the seven great Taoist Sects, were unsurpassed across the entire Human Race.
The paths and systems of cultivation of these individuals were absolutely worth learning from for everyone.
“The group elimination round will be held in three days in the small Debate Domain.
You can now return to your respective living areas to adjust your condition and conserve your strength in preparation for the start of the elimination round!”
Having announced all the rules, the Chang Geng Sect Leader’s form flashed and he transformed into an escaping light, vanishing from the sky.
At the same time, streams of escaping light twinkled and rose from seven majestic peaks, and in the blink of an eye, the spectators from the seven great Taoist Sects and the top hundred sects had all dispersed.
The various talented cultivators also left with heavy hearts.
The eliminated cultivators worried whether their performance in the Seal Spirit Tower was eye-catching enough, whether any sects had taken notice of them, and if they would be selected by a major sect.
On the other hand, those who had advanced to the group elimination round were pondering their strategy for the upcoming competition.
After all, individuals in the Third Sequence had only two chances to challenge a cultivator from the Second Sequence.
And with ninety cultivators in the Second Sequence, there would undoubtedly be varying strengths. If they could pick a weaker individual to challenge, their odds of winning would surely be much higher.
….
The results of the Seven Domains Debate Dao retest spread with unimaginable speed, radiating out to the Seven Domains and reaching the hands of all the major powers concerned with the competition.
If the talented cultivators themselves could be said to be relatively calm, the sects and powers of the Seven Domains of each state and prefecture were exceedingly lively, as if a bomb had gone off.
Especially the major sect powers of Qing State.
That was where numerous renowned talents of the Human Race gathered for the competition, and the cultivator who ranked third overall actually came from their own little corner, Qing State?
This news set them abuzz.
“Lu Qingshan, he actually shot up to the third rank overall, number one in the Southern Territory?”
“Although it’s just the retest, that was a competition where half a million of the Human Race’s talented cultivators gathered!” Fufeng City Lord was completely stunned when he received the news.
That was terrifying!
The higher one’s position, the clearer the understanding of what Lu Qingshan’s ranking signified.
“If he doesn’t fall, this young man will surely become a powerful cultivator of the Human Race,” the Fufeng City Lord murmured before becoming lost in thought.
After a moment, a sharp light passed through Fufeng City Lord’s eyes as he commanded loudly, “Allocate two Fourth Grade Spirit Veins to the Lu Family of Zhenjiang City, and also spread the news of Lu Qingshan’s achievement of the third overall rank.
In addition, reserve a spot for a Deputy City Lord candidate for the newly constructed Zhenjiang City and give it to the Lu Family…”
Compared to his earlier promise of one Fourth Grade Spirit Vein, this was a multiple-fold increase, an unimaginably grand gesture.
But he wasn’t heartbroken.
He wanted to create momentum, first by elevating Lu Qingshan’s standing, thus indirectly establishing his own reputation, after all, Lu Qingshan hailed from Qing State.
Furthermore, by currying favor with Lu Qingshan, investing in such a cultivator with exceptional talent was definitely not going to be a loss.
….
In Qingfeng Realm, within Qianshou Tower.
“True Venerable, this is the news from the Seven Domains Debate Dao competition.” A Cultivator walked in, respectfully presenting a Jade Slip.
“Oh? Has the retest ended?” Beiming True Venerable raised his eyebrows, Lu Qingshan’s handsome face coming to his mind, “I wonder how this young man fared. I hope he didn’t disappoint me and instead brought some surprises.”
Thinking this, Beiming True Venerable casually took the Jade Slip, his Divine Sense probing into it.
“Overall first place, Bai Guandao, thirty-three years old, Golden Core Late Stage…”
Unexpectedly, a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator took the first place in the re-examination; this was unforeseen.
So thought Beiming True Venerable in his heart.
“Overall second place, Zhou Yuan, forty years old, Nascent Soul Early Stage…”
Hiss!
Upon seeing Nascent Soul Early Stage, even Beiming True Venerable couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Incredible, to achieve Nascent Soul under fifty years of age and not even from a Taoist Sect.
Indeed, such prodigies emerge one after another among the Human Race!
Beiming True Venerable murmured to himself.
His gaze continued downward.
“Overall third place, Lu Qingshan, eighteen years old, Golden Core Middle Stage….”
Third place was down to Golden Core Middle Stage? What’s going on?
Beiming True Venerable furrowed his brows, his eyes continuing to scan downward.
“Wait a minute!” The next moment, Beiming True Venerable was startled, his gaze snapping back, fixated on that name.
“Lu Qingshan…”
Afterward, a deep sigh echoed in Qianshou Tower from Beiming True Venerable, “What on earth is going on… what I wanted was a surprise, but this, it should be called a shock…”
…
At Lu Family of Mihe Peak.
“What? The City Lord of Fufeng City wants to allocate those two Fourth Grade Spirit Veins to us, and also give us a candidate spot for the Deputy City Lord of Zhenjiang City?” In Qingping Hall, Lu Zhou and Lu Yuan, two high-ranking members of the Lu Family, were stunned.
“Lu Qingshan, in the Seven Domains Debate Dao retest, achieved the overall third place?
“How is that possible, this is the grand competition which gathers all the genius Cultivators of the Human Race, this youngster….” Lu Zhou stared in disbelief, instinctively denying it.
The shock in his heart was indescribable; this news completely dumbfounded him.
He naturally understood what this implied.
It was precisely because he understood that he dared not believe it.
But how could the news personally brought from Fufeng City be false?
The unexpected surprise left them dazed and disoriented.
“Great Elder, you said Qing Ling was our opportunity for the Lu Family to rise,” after a long while, Lu Yuan finally regaining his composure, said to Lu Zhou: “Looking at it now, it seems you were right, just look at what a great son he has brought forth….”
