The Immortal Realm was vast, encompassing a total of one hundred Cultivation Kingdoms.
Each Cultivation Kingdom was a force to be reckoned with, possessing expansive territories.
The smallest of these Cultivation Kingdoms was as large as Earth.
Therefore, the entire area of Earth, compared to the Immortal Realm, was less than one percent.
The Armor Snatching Tournant was hosted by the Yellow Dragon Empire.
The monarch of the Yellow Dragon Empire was an existence at the Immortal Emperor Stage, with a profound cultivation base. Other than the Immortal Emperor, no one could restrain him.
To say "a hero commits breaches with martial might" ant that when an individual's power reaches a certain extent, the law cannot restrain him. By applying this saying, one could derive "an Immortal commits breaches with cultivation."
"Immortal" refers to Immortals and Cultivators.
"Cultivation" refers to Cultivation Base.
If a Cultivator with a Cultivation Base commits breaches, then the laws of a Cultivation Kingdom cannot bind him.
Therefore, there are no laws in the Immortal Realm, and even if there are, they are in effect nonexistent.
A country without laws is very terrifying. If a monarch with a profound cultivation base wants to control a vast Cultivation Kingdom and maintain his position over a long period, he must allow the Marquis Kings below him to restrain each other, causing the high-level Cultivators within the country to check and balance each other.
However, as the monarch of an empire, he naturally cannot openly allow his subordinates to slaughter each other to achieve this balance of power.
Instead, he must use various ans.
Of course, these ans are quite dark.
The Armor Snatching Tournant is one such thod used by the Yellow Dragon Empire to balance the Cultivators within the country.
On the surface, the Armor Snatching Tournant is a grand event where young Cultivators show off their skills and the monarch of the Empire dispenses his favors, but in reality, it uses the tournant to let Cultivators kill each other. Those who miraculously survive and win rewards are then wooed by the monarch to serve him.
Despite this, every session still sees millions of Cultivators participating.
The venue of the Armor Snatching Tournant was set in the Capital City of the Yellow Dragon Empire—Dragon City.
Wang Xiaoqiang and his three companions set off flying towards Dragon City, constantly encountering other Cultivators along the way, who were also heading to Dragon City.
Those who recognized each other would greet one another.
While the four were flying, a man and a woman dressed in white garnts approached. The pair, resembling a Dao Companion, appeared quite extraordinary.
As they neared, the woman exclaid with delight, "Ruxue, Ruyu, do you rember ?"
When the two won turned their heads and saw her, they also showed expressions of joy and said in unison, "Isn't this Wu Tingxue?"
"Yes, it's , Wu Tingxue. This is my brother, Wu Jianming," the girl called Tingxue introduced, pointing to the man beside her.
"Haha, we've actually never t your brother. If you hadn't introduced him, we would have thought he was your Dao Companion!" Yans Ruxue joked with a laugh.
"Haha, that's what everyone says," the girl Wu Tingxue laughed, her gaze inadvertently glancing at Wang Xiaoqiang.
Among these four, Wang Xiaoqiang had the highest cultivation base. Despite his young age, he was already at the True Immortal Realm Fourth Stage, and he was surprisingly a youth without a Spirit Root. This made it even more curious.
Not only was Wu Tingxue astonished, but even Wu Jianming took another look at Wang Xiaoqiang, his eyes showing a hint of amazent and suspicion.
Wu Tingxue spoke up, "Ruxue, aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?"
Yans Ruxue suddenly realized, "Ah, I'm really sorry, I almost forgot. This is my family's steward, everyone calls him True Person of Taiyi. This one is Wang Xiaoqiang, the Lord of the Immortal River..."
"What? The Lord of the Immortal River, what is his relation to the Supre Ancestor of the Immortal River?" Wu Jianming exclaid, even before Wu Tingxue could speak.
It was well-known, the previous master of the Immortal River was the Supre Ancestor of the Immortal River, but the Supre Ancestor had died thousands of years ago, and since then, the Immortal River had been without a leader. Suddenly, a new Lord of the Immortal River erging was bound to astonish and raise suspicions towards the identity linked to the Supre Ancestor.
"Haha, I don't know who the Supre Ancestor of the Immortal River is, but now, the Immortal River sees as its king, I am the Lord of the Immortal River!" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed heartily, speaking proudly.
Although Wu Jianming and Wu Tingxue were surprised and skeptical, they did not harbor doubt, for the young man in front of them had a cultivation base that was indeed not low, a true genius.
A youth without a Spirit Root, yet possessing such demonically powerful cultivation, seed to have so tricks up his sleeve; becoming the Lord of the Immortal River might not be impossible after all.
"Hehe, yes, we had just stopped and had so liquor at the Crystal Palace of the Immortal River right before we hit the road!" Seeing the Wu siblings still looked skeptical, Yans Ruyu spoke up, confirming.
The siblings from the Wu Family took a deep breath upon hearing this, knowing that this young man's identity was no falsehood.
Yans Ruxue asked, "Tingxue, are you also going to participate in the Armor Snatching Tournant?"
Wu Tingxue shook her head, "We are just going to check out the excitent; we might not participate. I heard that the Armor Snatching Tournant is too bloody, too cruel, many people end up as cannon fodder... Alas, we are still young, we don't want to die so early. Hey? Ruxue, you guys are going to participate in the Armor Snatching Tournant, right?"
"Yes," Yans Ruxue nodded.
"Ruxue, I advise you all to just enjoy the excitent, don't rush into participating. Think about it, hundreds of thousands competing for those thirty places, how many will have to die in there..." Wu Tingxue advised.
Yans Ruxue said, "I heard that there seems to be so rewards just for participating in the competition."
Before Wu Tingxue could respond, Wu Jianming spoke, "That's right, participating in the competition rits a Spirit Marrow, and as the competition progresses, more and more Spirit Marrow and other rewards will be distributed... but don't forget, this is actually just a thod to attract participation, after so people receive their first Spirit Marrow, they end up dying in the competition..."
Clearly, Wu Jianming shared his sister Wu Tingxue's view, which was not to support participation in the competition.
Their ssage was clear, simply spectating the Armor Snatching Tournant was enough, participating was akin to seeking death!
"Ah, is that so? Actually..." Yans Ruxue felt a bit embarrassed; to heed their advice and not participate would seem too cowardly, but she truly felt reluctant not to compete at least once.
Just as she felt this awkwardness, Wang Xiaoqiang spoke up, "Ruxue, I also think the Armor Snatching Tournant is too perilous, it's better if you won don't participate, but we n, well, we should show so masculinity. Anyway, I am going to participate, even if it ans dying in the tournant..."
Wang Xiaoqiang said, glancing at Wu Jianming who flushed slightly, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Daoist Friend Wang is very right, the Armor Snatching Tournant is indeed not suitable for won, it is a battlefield for us n."
Wang Xiaoqiang stared at Wu Jianming with a playful smile, thinking to himself that this guy really cared about face. Just now, your sister said you both wouldn't participate, and now you're saying you will; but with your Fifth Turn of the Immortal Realm cultivation, if you really do participate, you're likely just ending up as cannon fodder.
Wu Jianming seed to sense Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze, and with both intention and nonchalance, he said, "Daoist Friend Wang, with your profound cultivation, you will probably achieve a good ranking in the Armor Snatching Tournant, but I want to remind you that the tournant is actually a survival of the fittest type of elimination. The superior ones prevail, the inferior ones get eliminated. But the inferior ones, to avoid elimination, will band together to kill the superior one first... so the more superior one is, the more dangerous it gets..."
Wu Jianming spoke, playfully looking at Wang Xiaoqiang, eager to see his reaction.
Wang Xiaoqiang's expression remained not only unchanged, but he also spoke with great interest, "That sounds good, I just love such thrilling gas!"
At this remark, Wu Jianming couldn't help but pause, secretly thinking to himself, "Freak!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welco to qidian to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
