Chapter 693 Pearl (Part 2)
Compared with the Vast Continent, the Xuantian Continent is indeed much smaller. It is only about the size of one and a half Feili Empire, which is much inferior to the Zhongtian Empire. . It is precisely because of this that the people on the Xuantian Continent have a much greater need for the sea than the Vast Continent. Therefore, in terms of ocean navigation, it is far beyond what the Vast Continent can compare with.
As for the Heavenly Jewel Masters, there are many sects in the Xuantian Continent, but unlike the coexistence of the five holy places in the Vast Continent, the Xuantian Palace is the only one on the Xuantian Continent. It is with the Xuantian Palace as the background. Xuantian Empire unified the entire continent as early as thirteen hundred years ago. There are no other countries. And most of the small sects of Tianzhu Masters have to survive under the breath of Xuantian Palace.
This also makes the situation in Xuantian Continent very simple. Everything is dominated by Xuantian Empire and Xuantian Palace, without too much fighting. Although this made the development of Xuantian Continent very prosperous for a time. But without competition and foreign enemies, the Xuantian Empire would inevitably become slack.
Of course, Zhou Weiqing was not very interested in these. The most useful information he got was about how to join Xuantian Palace.
Xuantian Palace is the supreme existence on Xuantian Continent. If you want to join it, there are only two ways. The first is to accept the selection of Xuantian Palace before the age of ten. After the selection is successful, you can directly enter Xuantian Palace, and then go through multiple screenings, and it depends on the talent of cultivation and the awakening of the natal pearl. Only the most outstanding young people have the opportunity to truly join the inner palace of Xuantian Palace.
In addition, there is another way to enter Xuantian Palace, which is also different from the five holy places in the vast continent. Perhaps it is because this is the only holy land on Xuantian Continent that is not afraid of being infiltrated by enemies. Therefore, Xuantian Palace also recruits casual cultivators. Of course, we only recruit the most outstanding casual cultivators.
This is Xuantian Palace’s annual Xuantian Draft.
The Xuantian Draft will be held in major cities in Xuantian Empire first. The top three casual cultivators in each city will have the opportunity to go to Tiancheng, the capital of Xuantian Empire, for the finals. The number of casual cultivators who can join Xuantian Palace every year is not fixed, and will be determined based on the strength and potential of the casual cultivators.
Among them, the first requirement for recruiting casual cultivators is age. Under normal circumstances, only casual cultivators under the age of thirty are recruited to join the outer palace of Xuantian Palace. These people can obtain Xuantian Palace's skills by accumulating merit. If there are those who have outstanding potential and have passed the many tests of Xuantian Palace, they will also have the opportunity to join the inner palace.
Of course, this age limit does not include those who are above the Heavenly King level. Those who are strong at Heavenly King level and above want to join Xuantian Palace, they need to pass another kind of assessment. As for what it is, Zhou Weiqing cannot know it on this big ship.
There is no doubt that given their age, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Binger can only choose the second option.
Joining the Xuantian Palace is not only a great honor for the Heavenly Jewel Masters on the Xuantian Continent, but also a huge source of profit. The inner palace disciples of Xuantian Palace can obtain the Condensation and Rubbing resources unconditionally. Even if you are an outer palace disciple, there are countless benefits.
All the rubbing palaces on Xuantian Continent are owned by Xuantian Palace. One can imagine how powerful Xuantian Palace is. Even the change of emperor of Xuantian Empire must be approved by Xuantian Palace.
Zhou Weiqing and the others’ goal this time was the Space Teleportation Stone. After getting the news about Xuantian Palace, Zhou Weiqing understood that this time he and Bing’er might be enemies of the entire Xuantian Continent! It was extremely difficult to obtain the Space Teleportation Stone, much more difficult than he had previously expected.
However, Zhou Weiqing also thought of a way. No matter what, he would join the Xuantian Palace first. The first to get closer to the water tower is the moon. Only by breaking into its interior first will there be more possibilities for success. Otherwise, they might not even know where the space teleportation stone is.
This big ship did not encounter any trouble during the following sailing period. After all, there was a king-level strongman sitting on the ship. As long as it did not encounter the terrifying sea beasts such as the giant turtle before, this big ship would not encounter any trouble. It is difficult for a big ship to encounter danger.
Zhou Weiqing was an easy-going person, and Shangguan Bing'er was so beautiful, so he quickly integrated into the other Dzi Jewel Masters on the ship. The transcendent status of Tianzhu Masters is also the same in Xuantian Continent, and ordinary crew members naturally dare not show any disrespect to them.
This big ship is called the Pearl, and it is owned by the Master of Ancient Words. And this ancient master does not belong to Xuantian Palace, but is the leader of one of the few powerful clans on Xuantian Continent other than Xuantian Palace.
Of course, they also have to be attached to Xuantian Palace, otherwise, they can only be destined to be destroyed. The harvest from this trip to sea was very good. Their purpose is to accumulate some precious gifts and send them to Xuantian Palace, so that the children of this clan can have the opportunity to enter the inner palace for screening.
On the Xuantian Continent, the competition between various clans is not about their combat effectiveness and financial resources, but about the status of the clan's children in Xuantian Palace. This weird situation does not exist in the vast continent.
Master Guyu originally intended to accept Zhou Weiqing into the clan, but after learning about Zhou Weiqing's immortality skills, he gave up the idea. No clan is willing to train a person who may die suddenly due to practicing martial arts at any time.
So, when Zhou Weiqing approached Master Gu Yu, hoping that he could write a letter of recommendation for his wife to participate in the Xuantian Draft, Gu Yu readily agreed.
Zhou Weiqing behaved very well on the ship. Once he encountered some medium-sized sea monsters, he would not hesitate to help the Dzi Jewel Master on the ship to deal with them, and he did not ask for any reward. He only said that it was to repay the kindness of saving his life. , the performance is quite satisfactory, and there has never been anything suspicious. As the old saying goes, it's also fun to do favors. After all, Zhou Weiqing's Immortality Technique is not completely impossible to succeed. If he really trains it in the future, maybe he can become a monster-level being.
How did he know that in the vast continent, which was much larger than the Xuantian Continent, Zhou Weiqing was already a real monster.
The ship sailed on the sea for a full month, and the dark coastline in the distance finally appeared in their sight. Even the Dzi Jewel Masters on the ship couldn't help but cheer when they saw the coastline after being at sea for so long. Being able to come back alive from a sea full of uncertainty is a blessing for anyone on board.
Zhou Weiqing held Shangguan Bing'er's hand and stood on the deck, looking far into the distance. At this moment, his heart was filled with pride. I shouted in my heart, Xuantian Continent, we are here.
After another half an hour, the Pearl finally sailed slowly into the port. The ship had just docked securely, and the port was already a lively scene with a huge crowd of people.
“It feels so good to be able to come back alive.” The voice of the ancient saying came from behind. Zhou Weiqing looked back and saw this king-level powerhouse slowly approaching him.
Through contact, Zhou Weiqing had a good impression of Gu Yu. He was a strict elder with a quite gentle temperament. His cultivation has reached the high level of Heavenly King. Although there is no hope of reaching the Heavenly Emperor level in this life, he is still a strong man on the Xuantian Continent.
"Master, are you afraid of the sea even with such a powerful cultivation level?" Zhou Weiqing said with a smile.
The old saying laughed and said: "How can you not be afraid? To be disrespectful, even the contemporary master of Xuantian Palace will still be cautious when he goes to the sea."
Zhou Weiqing asked curiously: "Do people from Xuantian Palace also go to sea?"
The ancient saying nodded and said: "Of course, the sea is an endless treasure house. I heard that many years ago, Xuantian Palace When it was first established, it once hunted a terrifying sea dragon that had been severely injured for unknown reasons, and obtained extremely generous benefits from it. This is how it became prosperous, and after so many years of development, Xuantian Palace was established. Today."
Zhou Weiqing smiled and said: "Master, I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you."
Gu Yu nodded and said: "Take care along the way. If the Xuantian Draft is unsuccessful, you are welcome to come to my clan."
"Thank you, Master." After Zhou Weiqing saluted him again, he pulled Follow Shangguan Bing'er to get off the boat.
Two disciples of Gu Yu were behind him, and one of them said: "Teacher, I always feel a little strange about Weiqing this week. He doesn't seem to care much about anything."
Gu Yu smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction, "If you can see this, you have made great progress. Not to mention you, even I can't fully understand this young man. His origin is definitely not as simple as he said. . But, for us, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy."
Zhou Weiqing naturally did not know what the ancient saying said about him, and after getting off the ship with Shangguan Bing'er, he finally got out of the boat. Push your way out of the crowd.
As long as a large ship like the Pearl that goes to sea can return safely, it will definitely return with a full load. Those large crowds were almost all businessmen. Trying to buy some precious things from such a big ship for sale.
After squeezing through the crowd, Zhou Weiqing took Shangguan Bing'er directly into the port city.
It feels so good to be down to earth! Feeling the rich earth element on the earth, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er both felt as if they were in another world.
"I really want to stay in Xuantian Continent at all costs. No one knows us here, and there are not so many troubles and things that must be done." Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but say.
Shangguan Bing'er looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you willing to do it?"
