Chapter 253: The Competition Begins!
“I think all of you are very clear about the rules of the competition. However, I still have to explain it briefly. In the Spirit-chasing Competition , the ranking is determined by the points system.”
Pei Tai’an smiled. With a wave of his hand, numerous palm-sized jade pendants appeared out of thin air and floated into the hands of every participant as if they had eyes. He then continued, “The planar battlefield covers a vast area. Up until now, no one has been able to explore its borders. It is extremely dangerous and is filled with ancient demon beasts that are extremely powerful. Of course, danger and opportunity coexist. There are also ruins left behind by a large number of ancient experts who passed away.”
“The method to obtain points was very simple. The first method was to hunt demon beasts. The points obtained from hunting demon beasts of different levels were different. As long as you fused a drop of blood essence into the jade pendant in your hand, it would bind with you. The number of points you obtained would be recorded on it. At the same time, the sum of the points obtained by the top ten sects and forces would be recorded. Three days before the end of the competition, the position coordinates of the top ten sects and forces would be displayed on the jade pendant.”
“As for the second place.” Pei Tai’an laughed and continued, “That is to be able to plunder the points of others. However, each plunder can only plunder half of the points.”
“There aren’t many rules of the competition. That’s all.”
“The dimensional space can only be opened for a month at most. In other words, the time limit of the competition is only one month. Before the end of the competition, the exit of the competition will also appear on the jade pendants in your hands. Remember to come out within the time limit. Otherwise, you will only be forced to stay in the dimensional battlefield for a few years. Only when the next competition begins will you have the chance to return to the mortal world.”
It took Pei Tai’an some time to explain the general rules of the competition.
Most people were not surprised. As a famous competition in the Southern Continent, they were familiar with the rules of the competition. In fact, many of them had participated in the competition for the first time.
In the entire square, perhaps only Gu Xi was listening attentively.
As for Little Nine, she did not care about these so-called rules. From what she knew, she only needed to follow Gu Xi. The rest was not something she needed to consider.
“Senior Brother Gu, why don’t we... skip the competition this time?”
At this moment, Liu Qingqing’s voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Gu Xi turned his head and saw that Liu Qingqing’s expression was very worried.
......
On the other side, the people from the Hehuan Sect were looking at them in a sinister manner.
“Don’t worry. If they really want to die, I don’t mind sending them on their way.” Gu Xi comforted her softly, and Liu Qingqing’s face finally looked a little better.
However, to Liu Qingqing, even though Gu Xi’s identity and true strength made her feel extremely mysterious, she still felt fear when facing the Hehuan Sect.
Liu Qingqing was not the only one. It was likely that all the women were the same.
Behind Gu Xi, Cao Hua curled his lips in disdain when he heard these words. However, even though he felt that it was laughable, he still did not want to find trouble at this time.
Now that he had already provoked the Hehuan Sect, if he showed disdain towards his own people now, it would be very difficult for him to continue staying in this group.
At the same time, Pei Tai’an took out a spirit tool that looked like a key from his sleeve. Then, under the pouring of spiritual power, the key suddenly burst out with an intense and dazzling light, as if the sun had descended.
Everyone narrowed their eyes and looked up at the same time.
The key that was emitting a strong light slowly rose up and immediately stopped at a height of about 100 meters. Then, the space squirmed and the key disappeared into it.
In the next moment, the sky above began to gradually distort.
From the place where the key disappeared, numerous spider web-like threads began to spread out. In the blink of an eye, they covered the entire square.
This was actually a huge magic array!
Gu Xi’s eyes focused. He could not help but sigh in his heart.
This magic array must be extremely ancient. Otherwise, he would not have been able to not notice the slightest abnormality even after coming here for such a long time.
[Ding! The Primordial Chaos Concealment Formation has been detected!]
[Flaws 98,541,367]
[Would the Host like to extract them?]
The System’s voice sounded quietly at this moment.
Gu Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head. With such a huge number of flaws, who knew how long it would take to extract them?
Along with the appearance of the huge formation, the spiritual energy in the world suddenly began to boil.
Then, from the center of the spell formation, the void began to tremble violently.
The trembling only lasted for a moment. Then, a pitch-black crack slowly opened, and in the blink of an eye, it had expanded to an area that could accommodate more than half of the square.
“This is the entrance to the planar battlefield, and also the exit. If you don’t have any questions, I declare that the competition has officially begun!”
Pei Tai’an’s voice rang out at this moment.
As his voice fell, numerous figures rose from the ground and entered the pitch-black spatial crack one after another.
“Let’s set off as well.” Gu Xi slowly stood up, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally looking at the nearby Hehuan Sect.
The man seemed to have sensed Gu Xi’s gaze, and once again met his gaze. Following that, the man made a gesture of cutting his throat, and with a sinister smile, he took the lead to rush out with a few disciples of the Hehuan Sect.
Without much hesitation, Gu Xi lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot. His body also rose up from the ground and transformed into a ray of light that shot straight towards the space crack above.
Behind him, Little Nine and the others also quickly followed.
In less than 15 minutes, there were only a few people left in the originally crowded square. Among them were the people from the Daluo sect, including Pei Tai’an.
Behind Pei Tai’an, a young man dressed in the uniform of the Great Luo sect said, “Teacher, we’ll go in too.”
“Yes, but don’t take this competition lightly. I’m afraid that Gu Xi and the masked woman beside him are not as simple as they appear.” After pondering for a moment, Pei Tai’an could not help but remind him.
Hearing this, the young man could not help but be surprised. There were very few people on the continent who his teacher could not see through.
“Then, do we need to target them?” the young man thought for a moment before asking.
Pei Tai’an shook his head. “No need. If there’s a chance, I’ll try to get in touch with them first.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The young man nodded and bowed respectfully before taking a step forward. The next time he appeared, he was already standing in front of the entrance.
