Unparalleled Divine Power

A thousand zhang tall city wall that was ten thousand li long was like an ancient world dragon sleeping there. Looking at it from afar, one could feel that it was incomparably shocking.    

The sky above the city wall was covered by a layer of dense barrier. This was obviously the Guarding Formation.    

Even from a hundred miles away, one could still feel the supreme dignity that was emitted by the Guarding Formation, making it so that no one could touch it.    

Looking down from high up in the sky, the visual effect and the shock in his heart were not small at all.    

"This is the Zhoucheng of Xuzhou. Compared to this place, our Qinghe City is like a thatched cottage compared to the imperial palace." Qing Heefeiyun clicked his tongue and said.    

Gu Lingyue's watery eyes looked at the Zhoucheng of Xuzhou with extraordinary splendor. "My Great Desert Imperial City only has a diameter of 300 miles, and the Qinghe City only has a circumference of 1,000 miles. But the Zhoucheng of Xuzhou has a circumference of more than 20,000 miles. This is too big."    

The Xuzhou's Zhoucheng gave people the impression that it was big.    

The second feeling was that it was ancient and majestic. It was like an ancient God Beast was hibernating there, emitting endless majesty.    

The Xuzhou was incomparably vast, spanning no less than ten million miles.    

The Zhoucheng of the Xuzhou was a supreme holy land.    

The headquarters of the five major powers of the Xuzhou were also located in the Zhoucheng, causing it to prosper and prosper.    

The preliminaries of the Zhoucheng were also presided over by the five major powers.    

"Golden Spear King, it has been a few years since we last met. You have also brought your little fellows here. Haha!" A loud laughter was heard, and a few figures landed in their direction.    

The leader was a man with a sharp aura. The pressure emitted from his body made Qin Xiao and the others feel very uncomfortable.    

Behind him were four men and a woman. All of them had an imposing appearance and were shining with a bright light. One could tell with just a glance that they were all top grade geniuses.    

Those who dared to participate in the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking were basically all Good Magic Stage geniuses who were close to Sealing King's level. Theoretically speaking, anyone below Sealing King could participate. But if their strength wasn't weak, they were probably here to be humiliated, or even to die.    

"Dragon King, aren't you going to personally take action? It seems like you came prepared." Golden Spear King narrowed his eyes slightly.    

Dragon King smiled again. "It's not that you came prepared, but you can try. Golden Spear King. I heard that a guest elder of your Qinghe Family showed up a while ago. It's this little guy, right? This little girl. She doesn't seem to be a member of the Qinghe Family. What? Among the disciples of the Qinghe Family? Is your son alone?"    

These words didn't seem like much, but they were actually filled with sarcasm.    

Golden Spear King was not angry, but said, "Better to have something than to have it. Those who are not strong enough will naturally not let them come and embarrass themselves, right?"    

This sarcastic remark made the Dragon King laugh a little coldly. "Oh yeah, then I'll have to wait and see. Let's see what kind of ranking you, the son of a 'genius', can obtain. In the end, you can't even pass the preliminaries. Then you, Golden Spear King, won't have any face left."    

"Hehe, I don't need the Dragon King to worry about that." Golden Spear King said.    

Dragon King did not say anything else and left with his people.    

After the Dragon King left, Qing Heefeiyun said unhappily, "Father, this Dragon King's words are too sharp, right?"    

Golden Spear King said, "The Dragon King's personality has always been like this, and I have never been on good terms with him. But speaking of which, the little fellows of this generation of the Long Family are really not bad. There are actually five of them who came to participate in the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking. With my understanding of the Dragon King, if he isn't a person with true talent, he won't send them over. "    

Qing Heefeiyun secretly gritted his teeth. This time, no matter what, he had to give it his all. He couldn't let Dragon King see him as a joke.    

As soon as he entered the Zhoucheng, Qin Xiao felt an incomparably sharp Qi rushing towards him, causing him to furrow his brows. He looked over and saw a few figures looking at him fiercely from not far away.    

The leader was a burly man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. However, he had a cold and fierce expression on his face, and his eyes were so cold that it sent chills down one's spine.    

"Yugu King!" Golden Spear King frowned slightly.    

What he said confirmed Qin Xiao's guess. Sealing King, who had such hostility towards him, could only exist in Heavenly Feather Villa.    

Behind Yugu King were three men. Yubo and Qin Xiao knew each other. Qin Xiao didn't know the other two men. They should be the geniuses from the Heavenly Feather Villa who had come to participate in the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking competition. However, one of them seemed to be at least fifty or sixty years old.    

He had come to participate in the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking at such an old age.    

Speaking of which, the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking really had no restrictions on one's age. The only restriction was one's strength.    

As long as you were below Sealing King, you could participate even if you were two or three hundred years old.    

Of course, the older you were, the less potential you had. It was naturally even harder to obtain a good ranking in the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking.    

However, in history, there were some people who were able to enter the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking at the age of one to two hundred.    

Because of this, many peak Good Magic Stage who had lived for a long time would come and give it a try. Some of them had indeed experienced a lot of disasters.    

The Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking would only choose the top 36. Those who could rank in the top 36 would basically have the chance to be absorbed by the four major powers. Moreover, this kind of absorption was to be directly cultivated by the headquarters. At the very least, it was the treatment of elite disciples. Those who were slightly more outstanding... It was even the treatment of core disciples.    

However, if one wanted to receive the treatment of a core disciple, they would need to be in the top ten.    

The status of the core disciples of the four transcendent powers was incomparable.    

Those who could become the core disciples of the four transcendent powers would have to be in the top ten. Every one of them was a proud son of heaven, an existence that was as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn in the Jiuzhou World, an existence that even Great Sovereigns wouldn't dare to offend.    

"Hmph!" Yugu King's eyes looked like they were about to kill someone. He stared at Qin Xiao fiercely, and his eyes were filled with extreme coldness.    

Five Sealing King from Heavenly Feather Villa, hundreds of Good Magic Stage, and thousands of Martial Force Stage warriors had died in Qin Xiao's hands. How could he not hate him?    

Currently, Heavenly Feather Villa was surrounded by enemies from all sides, and the one who caused this was Qin Xiao. How could he not hate him?    

If Golden Spear King wasn't here, he wouldn't hesitate to attack.    

Qin Xiao didn't have a good impression of his grandfather.    

Yubo glared at Qin Xiao and Yubo with a green face and said, "Qing Heefeiyun, I treated you as my friend and treated you kindly. I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless. You are really sinister."    

Qing Heefeiyun said, "I don't have a deep friendship with you. It's understandable that we use some tricks."    

"Hmph." Yubo was furious.    

He wanted to get on Qing Heefeiyun's good side, but he didn't expect Qing Heefeiyun to plot against him.    

Yugu King waved his hand and left with Yubo and the other two. Qin Xiao and the other three also left. Golden Spear King was very familiar with Zhoucheng. Furthermore, there was also a property of Qinghe Family in the city. Therefore, people had already arranged their accommodation here.    

"You all can stay here and cultivate for a while. I'll go and prepare the registration for you all."    

Golden Spear King instructed before leaving.    

The Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking was about to begin. Gu Lingyue wanted to go out and play, but Qin Xiao and Qing Heefeiyun did not agree, so Gu Lingyue could only give up.    

"Feiyun, with your understanding of the previous Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking, what kind of strength do you need to pass the preliminaries?" Qin Xiao asked.    

Qing Heefeiyun said, "Just from the Xuzhou alone, there are close to a hundred people from each county who are in charge of the nine counties. Including the disciples of some major powers, I'm afraid there are close to a thousand of them."    

"And in the end, only twelve people passed the preliminaries. It is a pitiful number. In total, there are a total of 108 people who can enter the true competition for the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking in the Nine Provinces. In the end, 36 people will be decided. "    

"That's why those who can pass the preliminaries are considered top geniuses. After all, there are only 108 people who can pass the preliminaries in the entire Jiuzhou World. Those who can pass the preliminaries must be the Peak Level who stands at the highest level of Good Magic Stage in the entire Jiuzhou World. "    

"According to the situation, those who can pass the preliminaries... In fact, most of them are at the same level as the elite disciples of the Jiuzhou Martial Arts School. In other words, they can easily kill Sealing King. They could be compared to Sealing King with the strength of the second step. Judging from Mr. Qin Xiao's current strength, he was afraid that he would be able to pass the preliminaries. Just a little bit more."    

"After all, Mr. Qin Xiao, if you didn't use the King Grade Sword, you wouldn't be able to kill a Sealing King."    

Qin Xiao frowned and nodded his head. What Qing Heefeiyun said was true.    

It was true that Qing Heefeiyun was helping the waterfall snow sword. At most, Qin Xiao could only push back a Sealing King, but it would be too difficult to kill him.    

In the Jiuzhou Mountain River Ranking assessment, external forces were not allowed. King grade treasures were absolutely not allowed to be used, or else they would be directly eliminated.    

Therefore, he had to rely on his own strength.    

Qing Heefeiyun said again, "In the past years, those who were able to pass the preliminaries were truly some extremely monstrous geniuses. Even I have to admire them."    

"What kind of special physique is this? It's the awakening of the ancient Talented divine Ability. It's the cultivation of the ancient Secret Arts. There are even those who have mastered the High-grade Profound Truth, and some of them have even cultivated the middle grade Profound Meaning to the fifth level. All kinds of monstrous geniuses have really caused you to lose your temper. Thinking about it, we are indeed still a bit lacking."    

Although Qing Heefeiyun also had a special physique, his Divine Light Physique was actually very ordinary among special physiques.    

After all, the Profound Meaning of Light was only a middle grade Profound Meaning.    

His Profound Meaning of Light was only at the fourth level, while the Profound Meaning of Sword was at the fifth level. If he could break through to the fifth level of Light Profound Meaning, he would have a chance of passing the preliminaries.    

But the fifth level was too difficult. Just relying on the fourth level, he didn't have much hope of passing the preliminaries.    

The Divine Light Body was a level weaker than Gu Lingyue's Five Elements Body. Five Elemental Profound Meaning, that was the High-grade Profound Truth. Once Gu Lingyue successfully merged with it, she would be able to master a High-grade Profound Truth.    

A genius with a special physique like the High-grade Profound Truth would basically have no problem passing the preliminaries.    

As for Qin Xiao, the Yin Yang Profound Truth and Sword Array Wind Profound Truth were both at the fourth level, the Profound Meaning of Sword was at the fifth level, and the Profound Meaning of Space was at the third level.    

Although the Sky Crippled Sword and Void Burying Secret Techniques were slightly stronger than Qing Heefeiyun's, their strength was limited.    

If he couldn't make any more breakthroughs... If he wanted to pass the preliminaries, he would have to depend on his luck.    

Unless the people in this batch were a bit weaker, it would be very difficult to pass the preliminaries.
