I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 214 The Radiant Sun Dao Saint
"Is it."

Gui Li let out a chilling laugh and said, "Then how about we have a match before the battle of the prodigies?"

Meng Huaizhen looked coldly at Gui Li, a surge of imposing aura emanating from him: "Hmph, why would I be afraid of you?"

but,

Just as the two seventh-level cultivators were locked in a fierce battle, attracting the attention of many nearby teams, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the distant horizon.

A blazing sun shone brightly, filling the entire sky and rising from the distance, like a rising sun leaping over the horizon. In that dazzling light, a figure slowly emerged. It seemed to be in the sky, far away just a moment ago, but the next moment it took a step forward and suddenly traversed tens of thousands of miles, arriving above the Wangyue Mountains.

An overwhelming aura, like that of a sovereign, swept across the entire sky. His entire figure seemed to merge with the heavens, and with every move he made, it was as if the heavens and earth would follow him.

Meng Huaizhen and Gui Li, who had been coldly disapproving of each other, now became serious. All the teams that had arrived at Wangyue Mountain Range dared not be negligent in the slightest and bowed their heads in respect to the figure in the sky.

"Greetings to the Holy Daoist Hui Ri."

Only the Daoist cultivators at the seventh level of cultivation, such as Meng Huaizhen, and the Grandmasters at the seventh level of blood were qualified to bow their heads in respect. As for the disciples at the fifth level of blood and fifth level of cultivation, such as Wu Ming, who came to participate in the battle of geniuses, they were all forced to lower their bodies and could not stand up when that figure traversed ten thousand miles in one step, like the rising sun hanging in the sky.

The respectful words of Meng Huaizhen and others stirred up even more waves in the ears of Wu Ming, Gu Liufeng and others.

Dao Sheng!

Only by reaching the pinnacle of primordial spirit and martial arts can one be called a saint. Those who have undergone nine refinements are called Dao Saints, and those who have undergone nine blood trials are called Martial Saints!

This is the ultimate realm below immortality, and also the end point for ordinary people among all living beings. Once you cross this step, you transcend life and death and become an immortal and indestructible supreme deity.

Such an existence could dominate everything in the Northern Wilderness, easily establishing a kingdom like the Yong Kingdom to rule over hundreds of millions of people, or creating a cultivation force that would surpass all other kingdoms.

Silently

The intense sunlight surrounding the figure standing in the sky dissipated, revealing his figure clad in a golden Taoist robe. His face was youthful and delicate, with a dot of cinnabar between his brows, making him appear to be a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

"Everyone, get up."

Hui Ri Dao Sheng spoke softly, his voice sounding somewhat immature, yet his tone carried a hint of vicissitude.

Before Wu Ming, Gu Liufeng, and the others could react to these words, they suddenly felt an invisible force of heaven and earth spreading out, lifting their bodies and forcing them to stand up straight from their bent-over position.

"A single word uttered commands the heavens and earth; is this the Nine Refinements Dao Saint?"

Wu Ming felt a chill run down his spine.

He could sense that the other party had not displayed any soul power or used any Dao techniques. He had simply uttered a single sentence. However, the Nine Refinements Dao Saint's casual words were all 'true words'. As soon as the true words were uttered, heaven and earth protected them. Invisibly, the power of heaven and earth surged and forcibly lifted them up, preventing them from continuing to bow.

Today, in Wu Ming's eyes, the Grandmaster of Seven Refinements and Seven Blood is no longer mysterious. He had met more than one when he was in the Hidden Dragon Academy. His master, Liu Muyuan, may even be a Daoist cultivator above the Seven Refinements level. But apart from Liu Muyuan, the others, including the King of Yong Kingdom and the Academy Master Meng Huaizhen, only gave him the feeling of being powerful in terms of strength.

He was at least at the level of Six Refinements and Six Blood, and he could already feel a clear gap when facing Seven Blood and Seven Refinements. Although the gap was like an abyss, he could at least see some of the truth. But when facing this Nine Refinements Dao Saint from the Great Jin Dynasty, Wu Ming only had one feeling: that he was unattainable.

Such an existence, if it harbors hostility towards him, probably wouldn't even need to mobilize any power. It would only need to casually open its mouth and utter a single incantation, and immediately the power of heaven and earth would accompany it, obliterating him on the spot!

Whether it's five blood and five refinements or six blood and six refinements, they are all like ants.

This is also the strongest person Wu Ming has ever encountered in his cultivation so far, truly standing at the pinnacle of the Primordial Spirit lineage!

At this level, although one cannot break through the limitations of lifespan and achieve immortality, one can still roam freely in the world and look down upon all things in heaven and earth. Even the king of Yong Kingdom must bow and pay homage before him.

"My Daoist name is Hui Ri. I hereby announce the rules of this Heavenly Pride Battle."

"The assessment area is the Wangyue Mountain Range. Once the assessment begins, no one may leave the Wangyue Mountain Range area; otherwise, it will be considered a voluntary withdrawal, and all scores will be invalidated."

"Within the Wangyue Mountain Range, all demons above the sixth transformation level have been eliminated. The remaining ones are all below the sixth transformation level. For each demon hunted, depending on its strength, you can obtain Blood Qi Points, with a maximum of ten points and a minimum of one point. If you defeat other participants, in addition to taking all their accumulated points, you will receive an extra one hundred points."

"The assessment period will last for a total of three days and two nights, and the ranking will be calculated at the end of the assessment."

"The top ten can directly enter the Holy Land of Cultivation. Those ranked eleventh to one hundredth can go to the Great Jin Dynasty to participate in the selection battle, from which twenty will be selected to enter the Holy Land of Cultivation."

"Once the assessment begins, life or death will be irrelevant."

Hui Ri Dao Sheng announced the selection rules for the Hundred Nations Prodigy Battle in a calm tone. Upon hearing these rules, Meng Huaizhen, Gui Li, and the others remained calm, as did the young prodigies from various countries, such as Wu Ming and Gu Liufeng.

Although the selection process for each edition of the Heavenly Pride Battle is slightly different, the rules are largely the same: all encourage participants to fight each other, regardless of life or death.

Therefore, each Heavenly Pride Battle is quite bloody. At least a thousand people from the hundred kingdoms of the Northern Wilderness come to participate, but in the end, half or even more of them are often killed or injured!
Despite the heavy casualties, all countries still participate in the Prodigy Tournament every year, and each generation of young prodigies from each country does their best to compete for every spot. No one will back down.

In the path of cultivation, one must strive to be the first!
Entering the Great Jin Cultivation Holy Land is a heaven-reaching path to a higher level. Even if half the casualties are not enough, and even if a thousand people participate, only fifty will survive, there are still countless people willing to participate.

Without this courage, this will, and this fearless spirit, if one shrinks back in the face of such competition, it will be impossible to reach a higher level in the future.

Swish.

After making the announcement, Hui Ri Dao Sheng waved his hand lightly.

In an instant, a ball of light flew out of his hand, then transformed into countless streams of light, scattering in all directions. One of the streams of light landed directly on Meng Huaizhen, the head of the academy in front of Wu Ming.

Meng Huaizhen raised her hand to take it, and saw that it was a bunch of strange white ribbons, a total of ten.

"Put them on, everyone. These are tools for accumulating blood points."

Meng Huaizhen glanced at it only once, then casually waved his hand, causing ten white ribbons to fall on Wu Ming, Gu Liufeng, Bai Qiulan, and the others, one for each of them.

Wu Ming reached out and caught it, glancing down at it. With a rough perception using his soul sense, he could only sense that the material of the ribbon itself was very ordinary, but the ribbon contained a mysterious and unfathomable Daoist pattern inside. Although he already knew the purpose of the ribbon, he still found it difficult to deduce its operating rules from these Daoist patterns.

With Wu Ming's current level of cultivation, he can barely comprehend even a little bit of an array. What he can't understand at all is the Daoist secret runes of a higher level. Obviously, this thing came from the hand of that Radiant Sun Dao Saint.

After a brief observation, Wu Ming, like the others, placed the ribbon on his wrist.

Swish.

The ribbon landed on my wrist and immediately wrapped itself around, forming a white bracelet that was securely fastened to my wrist.

High above, Dao Saint Hui Ri stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the crowd below. Seeing that all those who had participated in the Battle of the Prodigies wore white ribbons on their wrists, he finally nodded slightly and said:

"The time has come, the assessment begins."

Say it.

He then raised his sleeve and lightly waved it towards the Wangyue Mountain Range below.

hum! !

In an instant, a golden stream of light suddenly spread out from his sleeve, spreading across the sky like curtains, enveloping everyone wearing white ribbons, including Wu Ming.

As Wu Ming stood among the crowd, he felt the white bracelet on his wrist being drawn by a beam of golden light. His arm involuntarily rose, and then he was suddenly pulled into the sky by an irresistible force.

In a flash,

Wu Ming felt dizzy.

It was like an ordinary person holding a long whip, and then being swung around by a martial artist. His entire body was whipped around by the whip. Although his physique had reached the fifth level of blood coagulation, he still could not resist this whip. Even his primordial spirit perception was cut off, and he could not perceive what was happening at all.

This situation lasted only for two breaths. When the dizziness in Wu Ming's mind disappeared and his primordial spirit returned to calm, he found that he was no longer at the edge of the Wangyue Mountain Range, but had landed directly in an unfamiliar valley, surrounded by dense bushes and forests.

"Were they simply scattered and thrown into the Wangyue Mountains?"

Wu Ming glanced around and instantly understood what had happened.

The Battle of a Hundred Nations' Prodigies is about selecting individuals, not groups. So, the way to enter the mountain range is not to let the prodigies of each country enter as a group. Instead, the Radiant Sun Dao Saint directly takes action and uses some kind of capture technique to seize all the prodigies participating in the assessment, then scatters and throws them into various areas of the Moon Gazing Mountain Range.

Wu Ming looked up at the sky and saw a pale golden curtain of light covering the entire Wangyue Mountain Range, restricting the height at which Dao cultivators could fly. They could only fly up to twenty feet above the ground. He could also sense the barrier deep underground, which also restricted them to twenty feet below the ground.

Wu Ming didn't know if the barrier could be broken through, but he obviously wouldn't try. This thing was either a sealed formation that couldn't be broken through, or it was a 'boundary' that would be considered a breach of the boundary and result in an immediate loss.
