Chapter 1907: Dream Come True
On the stage, all eyes were focused on Lin Xun, Lu Dubu, and Wu Huang.
They were the top three of the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest!
"Tomorrow morning, the competition for determining those ranked first, second, and third will begin. Here are three Shangqing Fortune Pills. After you go back, you three can refine them and restore your cultivation to your peak state overnight."
Guan Xu stood up, flicked his fingers, and the three pills turned into streams of light and fell into the hands of Lin Xun, Lu Dubu, and Wu Huang.
There was a commotion in the field.
Some influential figures were amazed by Guan Xu's generosity.
The Shangqing Fortune Pill was a secret medicine from the Great Void Sect. It was rumored that over a thousand kinds of materials were required to refine this pill, and each ingredient was a rare treasure in the world!
Such a magical pill could be described as priceless because it could not be bought in the outside world. Even ordinary disciples of the Great Void Sect could not get their hands on such an item normally.
However, in order to restore the physical strength of the top three, Guan Xu casually gave out three Shangqing Fortune Pills. How could those present not be surprised?
Some experts even gazed at them enviously. They had heard of the Shangqing Fortune Pill in the past, and they knew that this pill could not only restore a person’s physical strength very quickly, but also had incredible magical effects on the cultivation of at the Supreme Saint-King Stage.At this point, everyone dispersed.
The news of the battles that had taken place today had also spread to Great Void City very quickly, causing a lot of sensation.
In particular, the news that Lin Xun had entered the top three as a dark horse elicited countless surprised exclamations.
...
That night, in his cave, Lin Xun looked at the Shangqing Fortune Pill in his hand.
The green pill was as big as a pigeon egg. Its surface was branded with magical runes that resembled earthworms as they wiggled. Light flowed and divine splendor lingered around the pill.
Its rich and clear medicinal fragrance permeated the air, reaching the depths of his spirit and making him feel relaxed and happy.
After ingesting it, the pill suddenly turned into a warm and strong heat flow that spread throughout him.
In just a moment, Lin Xun felt that his spirit and qi surging rapidly like wild grass growing in the spring. It felt like he was floating in the air.
Boom!
He immediately activated his cultivation and refined it with all his strength.
In just a few hours, Lin Xun keenly realized that his cultivation, which was in the intermediate Supreme Saint-King Stage, had improved a lot. Now, he was only a step away from the advanced stage!
The most amazing thing was that the sharp improvement in his cultivation did not affect his rock solid foundation. Instead, everything indicated that he had obtained a holistic and natural development.
"What a treasure."
Lin Xun couldn't help but praise this pill.
The Great Void Sect first brought out the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda, allowing all the participants to obtain Martial Dao Origin Power. Now they have given the top three the Shangqing Fortune Pill. By doing this, who among the cultivators who have received this would not remember the Great Void Sect's kindness in the future?
It's no wonder that the Great Void Sect is ranked number one in Cloud State. Such generous spirit and means are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary forces.
Lin Xun sighed for a while, then shook his head, abandoned his distracting thoughts, and began to meditate again.
...
"Jin Duyi, Wu Huang..."
In another cave, Lu Dubu sat casually on the ground. His demeanor was calm and unhurried.
At his fingertips, a cold and illusory dao light emerged, evolving into various strange phenomena, including the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, grass, and trees, as well as the ups and downs of the world, and the changes of all things...
Life Passes Like a Dream!
After a long time, Lu Dubu finally murmured, "If you think that the power I showed today is my full strength, then you are totally wrong..."
In his eyes was absolute confidence.
...
"While the Divine Blood Prison Wheel has been exposed already, it’s ok. If it can have a deterrent effect and make them alert and fearful, it will be even better."
On that same night, Wu Huang, wearing a black robe, sat in his cave. He was also planning out his strategy for the competition tomorrow.
His black hair was loose, and his body was filled with gray mist making him resemble a demon sitting alone in the gray darkness. As he slowly blinked, his eyes were cold and terrifying.
"Jin Duyi is a man who hides his true strength. He must have something else up his sleeve. Lu Dubu couldn’t have revealed all his cards today. If I want to defeat them, it seems that I will have to show my real power…"
Wu Huang stroked his chin while his eyes became as deep as the ocean.
…
"Yuhua, you must not be discouraged. It is not shameful to be defeated by an Emperor-grade treasure."
In the dead of night, Madam Yu comforted Xie Yuhua softly inside the courtyard.
Xie Yuhua smiled and said, "Elder, I am not as fragile as you think. I just didn't expect that Jin Duyi could make it into the top three. It's really like what you said at the beginning. It is not impossible to overestimate such a person."
When talking about Lin Xun, Madam Yu's eyes also revealed a strange look as she said, "This youth is indeed an unexpected anomaly. I believe that after the end of this Dao Debate Contest, his name will be destined to resound all over Cloud State."
"Elder, do you think he can win the first place?" Xie Yuhua asked curiously.
Madam Yu pondered and said, "It's hard to say. Neither Lu Dubu nor Wu Huang are ordinary peerless figures. No one knows whether these two have more powerful cards in their hands."
After a pause, she continued, "However, if we have to talk about the most mysterious one, it is undoubtedly Jin Duyi.”
Madam Yu then stated, "Yuhua, have you noticed this? Whether it was in the second round or third round, no matter how strong his opponent or how big his victory, he never seemed to be excited about them. His state of mind and emotions are too calm."
Xie Yuhua thought carefully for a moment and nodded immediately, "Indeed, I even believe that his mind has never been on the battle at hand. Instead, he seems indifferent to everything."
Madam Yu agreed deeply and sighed, "Perhaps, in this youth’s eyes, these fights are not that dangerous. Or maybe he is proud to the bones and finds it boorish to show off in front of everyone."
Xie Yuhua's curiosity was aroused. "I am now looking forward to the day when he really ignites his fighting spirit and shows his true power. I’m curious about what kind of style he will have."
"I have caught a glimpse of it."
Madam Yu suddenly recalled that in the second round of selections, Jin Duyi had rocketed his way to the ninth floor at an incredible speed. In fact, he became the first expert to successfully pass the level, ahead of both Lu Dubu and Wu Huang.
At that time, Jin Duyi had shown a glimpse of his true ferocity, which made all the influential figures present feel amazed!
It was a pity that this had happened in the Great Void Refining Dao Pagoda as the observers could only see the surface and not peek into the truth.
Thinking of this, Madam Yu said confidently, "I am certain that Lu Dubu and Wu Huang may reveal powerful cards that will make Jin Duyi dare not hold back anymore!"
"Then we will wait and see."
Xie Yuhua's starry eyes glittered beautifully, full of expectations.
…
Similar discussions occurred in different places that night.
What people talked about most was the top three rankings in the Dao Debate Contest.
Jin Duyi, Lu Dubu, Wu Huang!
Which one of those three would win the title of first place?
Everyone was looking forward to it.
…
Early the next morning, before dawn, the cloud platform on the top of Immortal Martial Peak was already full of people.
Guan Xu, Heng Xiao, Daoist Lan and other big figures, as well as Xie Yuhua, Wang Tu, Su Muhan and other young experts, had all arrived.
When the figures of Lin Xun, Lu Dubu and Wu Huang appeared on the cloud platform, everyone in the audience immediately looked over.
Today, the battle for the top three rankings was going to begin!
"After not seeing each other for a night, Lu Dubu seems to be more assure than before, and he has an invincible demeanor."
Someone had keenly noticed the subtle changes in Lu Dubu's aura.
"Wu Huang is the same. He looks so impressive and seems to be full of confidence in today's battle."
Discussions broke out in the field.
"It's just weird that Jin Duyi seems to be the same as before, calm and tranquil, without any hint of sharpness. This guy is really patient."
Many people tried to find some differences in Lin Xun's demeanor and movements, but were ultimately disappointed in the end because Lin Xun was the same as before.
"Today, the battles to determine the top three rankings of the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest will be held, and the three of you will have the final battle."
Guan Xu stood up. His voice resounded like a big bell as it echoed in all directions, "The first match will be Jin Duyi versus Lu Dubu."
Immediately, the two stepped onto the battlefield together.
"Jin Duyi, today's fight is about first place. I will use all the power I have, so you have to be careful."
Lu Dubu's sleeves were fluttering, making him look both elegant and romantic. When he spoke with a smile, his expression looked as if he was looking down on the mountains and rivers. There was a confidence around him that shouted: “Who else can do it besides me?”
These words undoubtedly proved that he had not used his full strength in the previous battles!
"That would be for the best." Lin Xun nodded.
Lu Dubu immediately took action. His thin figure rose from the air and pieces of dreamlike, crystalline light rain flew all over him.
As his fingertips moved…
Buzz!
The droplets of light in the sky turned into a Great Dao Field, and the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, the universe, the ups and downs of the world, the changes of all things, and all kinds of strange phenomena emerged in it.
Life Passes Like a Dream!
After years of fighting and the battles at the selection, Lu Dubu’s methods had been exposed for the most part, even if he had still hidden a little bit back.
For example, Lu Dubu had used Life Passes Like a Dream in the past. The only difference today was that its strength and aura was far more powerful and terrifying than what had been seen before.
Lin Xun was still the same as before, punching and attacking in his simple, natural, and understated manner.
The two soon fought fiercely, revealing a series of battle scenes that could only be called unparalleled. This firmly attracted the attention of the whole audience.
"Reality is not reality, a dream is not a dream. Wherever my heart leads, my grandiose dream will become true!"
After hundreds of rounds, Lu Dubu spoke slowly. As his voice came out, the aura around him resembled a ferocious river as it produced a thunderous roar.
In an instant, everyone witnessed a flash before their eyes and discovered that Lu Dubu's aura was rising step by step, breaking through the barrier of the peak Saint-King Stage and entering the quasi-Emperor Stage.
Immediately afterwards, he jumped from the quasi-Emperor Stage into the Emperor Stage!
From a distance, his figure was like a dream, and his body was shining, as if an Emperor had come to the world, with the supreme power to look down on the heavens and intimidate all living beings!
