Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Tu Jun cannot wait until his Dharma body is blown to pieces before coming out, otherwise he will be seriously injured and will probably have to give up the rest of the competition.

The Five Elements Saint Lord told them that this was a competition, not a life-or-death struggle. They should stop when they had enough and not give up on the rest of the competitions because of one.

"Tu Jun, are you alright?" Jin Qian was asking Tu Jun about his condition.

"No, it's just that my head hurts a bit. I was hit by some kind of soul attack technique from Lin Aoxue. Actually, with my top-grade earth-rank magic treasure, I should have been able to withstand the explosion. However, I knew I would be seriously injured and still wouldn't be able to win, so I conceded defeat. I'm sorry, fellow senior brothers and sisters, I've disgraced our Five Elements Holy Land." Tu Jun apologized awkwardly.

"It's not your problem, it's Jin Qian's problem." Everyone knew very well that their group was mainly commanded by Jin Qian, an earth-attribute cultivator, most of whom were honest and simple-minded and didn't have many ulterior motives.

These words embarrassed Jin Qian again.

"This can't be blamed on my senior brother. That Ye Liuyun Cauldron is too strange. It was able to easily shatter my Thick Earth Dharma Body. It must be a treasure of unimaginable quality. But it's strange that she seemed to deliberately conceal it afterward, preferring to use other means rather than use that cauldron to smash me." Tu Jun quickly defended his senior brother.

After all, judging from the surface, their overall strength was stronger than the other party's, and Ye Liuyun posed a great threat to Tu Jun's Dharma body. In addition, the other party was invisible, so it would be safer to get rid of her first. But who knew they would fall into Ye Liuyun's trap.

"Alright, junior brother, this is indeed my fault. There's no need to explain. It's just a loss in a doubles match. There's still the free-for-all qualifying round later, isn't there?" Jin Qian interrupted his junior brother's explanation.

Another half hour passed, and with the last pair being teleported out, the duo qualifying round came to an end.

More than 20,000 people participated, but only more than 10,000 made it to the qualifying rounds.

"Alright, all participants, please take a one-hour break. The free-for-all will begin in one hour. As always, half of the participants will be eliminated in this qualifying round, so please be mentally prepared," Li Mingjiao reminded them, and the gates of the Void God Temple closed.

The Void God Temple will definitely need to adjust its rules and battlefield, which will take some time.

Upon hearing that they had an hour to prepare, members of various sects and groups sat down to recover their strength and discuss how to survive the ensuing chaos.

The chaotic battle tests your survival skills. If you can dodge other players' attacks and survive until the elimination count ends, then you win.

One doesn't need to have great combat power, but one must have strong survival ability.

This hurdle was easy for Ye Liuyun.

"Aoxue, I'll be right back." Ye Liuyun planned to use his own pills to help his acquaintances and friends easily pass this test.

Ye Liuyun first approached Jiang Wanling and the others.

They didn't participate in the doubles competition, but they all passed the singles competition. They should be relatively safe in the free-for-all competition. No one would specifically target a team with six Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone Jiang Wanling, who is at the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit realm.

"Elder Jiang, you guys, each take one pill. Once inside, if you don't want to fight, just swallow it and find a secluded place to hide," Ye Liuyun reminded them.

Jiang Wanling and the others quickly accepted the pills, knowing that they would help them pass the preliminary rounds of the free-for-all.

After giving Jiang Wanling and the others several pills, Ye Liuyun began searching for other people, such as his nephews. Once he found them, Ye Liuyun secretly transmitted his voice to them.

"Mu Yu, Mu Feng, you two come over here for a moment." The voice in their ears startled Nangong Mu Yu and Nangong Mu Feng. They quickly turned around and looked around, and soon saw a familiar face.

The two little ones have grown up completely, and they already know that their uncle has turned into a woman.

The two glanced furtively at the Nangong family members, then quickly walked towards Ye Liuyun's location.

"Uncle, we never expected you to turn into a girl! We were quite surprised. You look just like Mother after you became a woman," Nangong Muyu teased with a grin as soon as she arrived in front of Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately tapped Nangong Muyu on the forehead.

"Don't tease me. Enough with the small talk, here are two pills for you. Take them once you're inside, then find a place to hide them. These two pills will guarantee you make it through the free-for-all and into the qualifying rounds," Ye Liuyun said.

The two were taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and accepted the pills.

"Uncle, your fight with Auntie just now was so cool!" Nangong Muyu said again.

"Hehe, that's right. Your aunt and I are quite formidable. You two little guys better pray you don't run into us in the doubles match. If you do, you're in for a beating," Ye Liuyun joked before leaving.

Ye Liuyun then found Dongfang Canglan and Dongfang Dieyi and gave each of them an invisibility pill.

After running around, he returned to Lin Aoxue's side and handed each of his grandmothers an invisibility pill.

Li Muyun accepted the pills, but whether she used them or not was up to her.

Chapter 618 Chaotic Qualifying Rounds (5000 words + 1300 monthly votes bonus chapter)

In a free-for-all, going it alone is probably a disadvantage. Your safety is definitely not as good as those sect cultivators. This project feels like it's just a way for sect cultivators to get free points.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. After calculating the time, Li Mingjiao spoke again.

"Preparation time is over. All cultivators who will participate in the free-for-all, please get ready. Before that, I would like to remind you that this stage is quite chaotic. The rules of the Void God Temple can only guarantee that you will not be in mortal danger, but cannot guarantee that you will be able to withdraw from the competition safely and unharmed."

"In other words, in this trial, none of you can choose to voluntarily admit defeat and leave. You can only be teleported out if you are killed and judged as having failed by the laws of the temple. Cultivators killed in the Void God Temple will definitely be injured, so you must think carefully," Li Mingjiao solemnly reminded.

Judging from her attitude, this hurdle is definitely not going to be easy.

These words immediately made some cultivators with low cultivation levels and whose sects lacked resources start to back down.

"Forget it, forget it. This competition doesn't seem to be designed for ordinary sects like us. Let's prepare for the next one. How can we compete with these big sects and holy lands? We'd probably just get slaughtered if we went in." Some cultivators from small and medium-sized sects chose to give up.

Li Mingjiao continued to explain the rules and requirements. Currently, the rules for the qualifying rounds have not changed and remain unrestricted. Because of the protection of the Void God Temple, there is no need to worry about cultivators being killed, so there are naturally no restrictions.

As for how the competition will end, it's quite simple. Once the cultivators enter, everyone can look up and see the total number of people present. The number will gradually decrease as participants are eliminated, and it will stop when the number of survivors reaches half of the total number.

Once inside, cultivators will be randomly teleported to various locations within the competition arena. The arena is vast, but its space shrinks continuously over time, meaning it's quite difficult to survive until the end of the competition.

This caused even those cultivators who still held onto a glimmer of hope to become disappointed. If even hiding wasn't an option, what else could they do?

So in the end, nearly 10,000 people gave up on this competition. Having many events gave them choices. After all, there were still several qualifying rounds. It was not worth getting injured for the points of a qualifying round.

Those major sects and holy lands certainly have excellent healing pills, so even if they are injured, they can heal and recover immediately. However, cultivators from small and medium-sized sects are much less capable of doing so.

"Elder, we won't participate in this round. If we go in, we'll definitely drag you down." On the other side, Li Jianxin, dressed in white, was talking with two disciples of the Yunxia Sect.

In recent years, the Yunxia Sect has developed very well, producing several outstanding disciples. The elders of the Yunxia Sect, including Yun Yun, have all entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

But he's definitely no match for Li Jianxin.

“Yes, I understand. I’ll go in alone.” Li Jianxin nodded.

Then the gate opened, and all the cultivators participating in the melee flew into the Void God Palace. After entering the Void God Palace, they were teleported to a mountainous area, a very large area of ​​nearly 100,000 meters. However, this area was nothing to cultivators at the Four Extremes and Nascent Soul stages.

A series of streaks of light descended from the sky, landing in various parts of the competition venue. Each streak of light represented a cultivator. Ye Liuyun was teleported to a river area and landed on the riverbank.

Ye Liuyun looked around and finally glanced at the sky, where a large number was indeed visible.

"A total of 20380 people are participating? Huh? The number of participants is decreasing so quickly?" Ye Liuyun noticed as he looked at the list that the number of participants was decreasing. They had only just entered the competition, and people were already being eliminated, and the number was decreasing almost without pause.

This challenge restricts the cultivators' spiritual sense and their ability to fly, making it more difficult for the participants and preventing them from easily reuniting with their fellow cultivators using their spiritual sense.

Just as Ye Liuyun was pondering the problem, a palm print of magical power pierced through the forest behind him and fiercely attacked him.

Unfortunately, just as the palm print was about to land on Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun vanished into thin air.

"Where is he?" A young man standing in the woods frowned.

He thought he had surprised everyone enough, but unfortunately Ye Liuyun still noticed.

This person should be at the Divine Soul Realm cultivation level. However, this area should be suppressing the power of cultivators. If the spread of cultivators' power is not suppressed, this small area will soon be blasted to pieces.

"Hey! I'm the only one who ambushes others, not the other way around. Kid, who do you think you are?" Just as this person was searching for Ye Liuyun's whereabouts, Ye Liuyun's voice rang in the young man's ears.

The young man's expression changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to attack from behind, but the next moment, Ye Liuyun kicked him hard in the buttocks.

"Ah..." A painful scream accompanied a young man clutching his buttocks as he flew up from the woods, flying dozens of meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

Tears were streaming down his face, which showed how hard Ye Liuyun had kicked him.

After landing, the man endured the pain and tried to escape, because the other party could appear behind him silently, which meant that their cultivation level was obviously higher than his. Since this place restricted divine sense, you could not judge someone's cultivation level unless they made a move.

"You think you can just leave after your sneak attack? Go back home." Ye Liuyun's figure appeared like a ghost on the man's escape route, and then he punched the man hard in the face.

"Damn it, that's fast! Am I just unlucky?" The young man cursed himself for not judging his opponent's strength properly as he was sent flying.

After the person landed, Ye Liuyun gave him no chance to escape. Ye Liuyun appeared in front of the person and stomped on him repeatedly.

"Kid, learn your lesson. Don't attack people randomly. You can leave now." After Ye Liuyun stomped on him, the rules immediately determined that the person was dead and teleported him away.

The death determination in this competition doesn't mean that someone has to be seriously injured to be considered dead; rather, it means that the person is dead as long as they are unable to resist.

The young man was sent away before he could even see what the person he had ambushed looked like.

When he came out, his body was covered in high-heeled shoe prints, and his face was covered in them.

"Haha! This fellow looks so miserable. Did a beautiful woman beat him up?" Someone burst into laughter after seeing the young man's pitiful state.

The young man looked at his wounds and felt extremely embarrassed. Without saying a word, he quickly found a place to treat them.

Ye Liuyun was quite polite to him, not using his full strength, and not even seriously injuring him. At most, he only suffered superficial injuries, which he could recover from after meditating for a while.

After eliminating the person who ambushed her, Ye Liuyun swaggered forward in one direction, her eyes fixed on the numbers above her head. As long as no one ambushed her, she was too lazy to attack anyone.

However, in this competition arena, she will not attack other cultivators, but other cultivators will definitely attack her.

After she had gone some distance, she heard a series of unpleasant flute sounds, which made her feel irritated.

Ye Liuyun immediately tried to find the source of the sound, but unfortunately, it seemed to come from all directions, making it difficult to pinpoint the target's location.

"A sonic attack? Tch, it's really difficult without being able to use divine sense." Ye Liuyun had a headache.

After a moment of thought, she took a deep breath and unleashed a powerful, angry roar in all directions.

"What are you bragging about? It sounds awful."

The sound was very loud, and the strong sound waves spread in all directions. At that moment, the man in blue robes behind a rock suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as the piercing sound spread, and the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

"Pfft! How is that possible? You broke my sonic attack with just a casual shout?" The man in blue changed his expression and then hurriedly fled.

Not long after he fled, the area where he had just hidden his gaze was immediately pierced by an invisible force, and Ye Liuyun's figure appeared there.

"Tch! He ran away really fast." Ye Liuyun glanced at the blood on the ground. She was too lazy to look for him; it was a waste of time.

Meanwhile, on Lin Aoxue's side, she was leisurely advancing with her sword in hand. But after a few steps, she seemed to sense something, and the sword in her left hand was quickly drawn and slashed in a certain direction.

There was a cultivator who had just appeared, but before he could react, he was engulfed by Lin Aoxue's sword light.

"Damn it, this is so unlucky." Another unlucky guy flew out of the gate of the Void God Temple. This was a man in black, the same guy who had just planned to find an opportunity to attack Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue glanced at the spot she had attacked and looked at it with disdain.

"A cowardly and treacherous person like him is not fit for a respectable position," Lin Aoxue snorted coldly, then continued forward.

Cultivators who resort to such sneak attacks are usually those who lack confidence in themselves. Cultivators with even a little bit of combat power at the Transformation Realm don't bother to hide their abilities.

But soon, Lin Aoxue encountered a formidable foe. A woman's alluring laughter rang in Lin Aoxue's ears.

"Hahaha... I remember you. You are Lin Aoxue, right? In the last doubles match, you and your partner eliminated two strong players from the Five Elements Holy Land. This humble woman, Kou Qingling from the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, would like to ask you for a bargain."

As soon as the voice fell, a woman dressed in a pink dress, with a very charming appearance, flew over from somewhere, her body shrouded in condensed light.

You can't fly here, but you can still jump.

Upon hearing that the visitor was a cultivator from a holy land, Lin Aoxue immediately narrowed her eyes.

This Myriad Flowers Holy Land is the only one among the fifteen holy lands that only accepts female disciples, and every one of their disciples is a top-tier beauty, each one adorned with dazzling colors.

After the woman appeared, she released her aura without saying a word and took the initiative to reveal her cultivation level. This woman was a powerful cultivator at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm, which placed her in the second tier among the participants.

"As you wish." Lin Aoxue also unleashed her own aura, but judging from her cultivation level alone, she was definitely much weaker than her opponent.

Kou Qingling of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land did not look down on Lin Aoxue just because her cultivation level was two levels lower than hers. She had seen the scene of Lin Aoxue attacking Tu Jun, and it was clear that it was more than that.

"Hehehe... Myriad Flowers Technique - Sea of ​​Flowers Blooms." After seeing Lin Aoxue accept her challenge, Kou Qingling immediately launched an attack. She raised her hands and scattered a large amount of pink energy in all directions, causing a large number of flowers and plants to grow rapidly on the ground wherever it reached.

In no time, the area where Lin Aoxue fought was transformed into a sea of ​​flowers.

Seeing the sea of ​​flowers spreading, Lin Aoxue immediately drew her sword and slashed at Kou Qingling. However, Kou Qingling smiled and her body turned into countless flower petals the moment she touched Lin Aoxue's attack, disappearing into nothingness.

Lin Aoxue's battle footage was also extracted by the Nine Heavens Holy Land immediately. They only focused on battles with suspense, as those without suspense were not interesting.

"Gentlemen, it's quite boring for us to just watch from here. Why don't we have some stakes and bet on the outcome of this suspenseful battle?" Just then, a holy lord from a holy land suggested.

Everyone glanced at each other.

“Alright, watching it is indeed quite boring. This match between Lin Aoxue and Kou Qingling from our Wanhua Holy Land is a bit interesting. Let’s have some fun. I’ll bet a top-grade Earth-rank magic weapon on Kou Qingling to win. Who wants to follow?” The beautiful female Holy Master of Wanhua Holy Land chuckled.

If the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers is willing to take the lead, then everyone else will definitely have a go at it.

“Alright, I’ll join in too. Judging from the current situation, Lin Aoxue may still have some trump cards up her sleeve, but it’s still too difficult for her to defeat a cultivator at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage from a Holy Land. I’m betting on Kou Qingling to win.” Another Holy Lord spoke up.

Soon, the other holy masters also began to bet on the final act. Anyway, if they bet correctly, they would suffer no loss, so why not play?

Before long, all fourteen Holy Lords had taken out their stakes, which included treasures, cultivation techniques, and pills, but they were mostly of the Earth Rank.

"Eh? Fellow Daoist Jiutian, aren't you planning to give it a try? Or do you not have much confidence in the cultivators of the Nine Heavens Domain?" The Five Elements Saint Lord spoke up as soon as he saw that none of the powerful figures from the Nine Heavens Domain around him intended to place a bet.

Once this guy opened his mouth, everyone had no choice but to respond.

“Alright, although Lin Aoxue is a cultivator from our Nine Heavens Domain, her chances of winning are indeed not high. I will bet a mid-grade Earth-rank magic weapon.” A powerful figure from a major sect in the Nine Heavens Domain spoke up.

Once this person speaks, the others will definitely have to say something. With so many Holy Lords betting on Kou Qingling to win, it's sure to be a good deal to bet with them.
