Chapter 544: Huge Monk Base
Three days later, the three-day exam of Dongxuan College officially began, and Xingluo Prefecture fell into a rare calm in the past ten years.
Although a few students gave up on this major exam due to various reasons.
But most of the entire new generation of monks in Xingluo State, as well as the older generation of monks, are distracted by the big exam at Dongxuan Academy.
Therefore, since the start of the Dongxuan College exams, the activity of monks in various places in Xingluo State has dropped significantly.
This Dongxuan Academy exam involves various aspects such as students' cultivation speed, spell cultivation progress, basic knowledge of cultivation, and at least one of the four minor arts.
The total score of the final exam will be ranked based on the scores of each dimension.
Those at the top of the overall rankings, whether they are the students themselves or the Dongxuan Academy branch, will receive generous rewards from Dongxuan City.
Those who excel in individual assessments will also be trained and rewarded by Dongxuan City, but the intensity of the rewards will be one level lower than those at the top of the overall rankings.
After the calm, there is the hustle and bustle.
After the three-day Dongxuan College exam is over, the upcoming competition for the new generation of Qi Refining Realm monks in Dongxuan City will be held.
Although the overall score ranking of the college exam has not yet been released, the students have put it behind them after the competition and began to concentrate on preparing for the Qi Refining Realm Competition one day later.
The number of low-level monks gathered near the major cities in the entire Xingluo State has increased more than ten times compared to before.
Among these monks, some are the new generation of Qi Refining Realm youths from Dongxuan City who came to participate in the Qi Refining Realm Competition and the accompanying elders, and some are some of the few remaining in Xingluo State. Loose practice.
Looking at the battle stages being set up outside the major cities, the gathered monks couldn't help but feel expectant and excited.
Of course, there were also a few casual cultivators who came to watch the excitement, but at this time they felt annoyed.
Outside a certain city.
Rogue cultivator Li Yuanxing looked at the many battle stages that had been set up for the Qi Refining Competition. He was in a low mood and said with some annoyance:
"I should have joined directly if I had known it ten years ago. Dongxuan City, now that the opportunity has been lost, I want to join Dongxuan City for the sake of my son’s future, but there is no way.”
Whether it is the current Qi Refining Realm Competition or the future Foundation Establishment Realm. Dabi, Zifu Realm Dabi.
Although they are competitions involving the entire Xingluo State, in fact only monks affiliated with Dongxuan City can participate.
As for Dongxuan Academy, as long as they are children with spiritual roots among the ordinary residents of the villages, towns, and cities under Dongxuan City, or the children of monks under Dongxuan City.
Regardless of the level of spiritual talent, you can directly enroll in Dongxuan College and enjoy a series of benefits in Dongxuan City.
As for those with spiritual root talents in Xingluo State who are not affiliated with Dongxuan City, including the children of many casual cultivators in Xingluo State, they all need to pass certain assessments and have their spiritual root talents reach the minimum limit. Only then can he enroll in Dongxuan Academy and join Dongxuan City.
Only the battle stages established by Dongxuan City in various places in Xingluo State have no restrictions, and casual cultivators from Xingluo State can also fight on the stage.
If they achieve ten consecutive victories, casual cultivators can also receive corresponding rewards just like the monks under Dongxuan City.
But now the number of casual cultivators in Xingluo State has been reduced several times. If you want to win ten consecutive victories in the same realm, you will inevitably face the cultivators under Shangdongxuan City.
It is not that easy to defeat the monks who have been trained by Dongxuan City's own resources with the help of a casual cultivator.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the protective spells practiced by monks.
Rogue cultivators may only be exposed to a dozen or even a handful of spells in their lifetime for them to choose and practice.
However, the monks under Dongxuan City can easily access thousands or tens of thousands of different types of spells, from which they can choose the spells that are suitable for their practice.
Coupled with the fact that they are backed by Dongxuan City, as long as they contribute enough points, they can obtain various corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist in the practice of spells.
As accumulated over time and moon, the fellow monks under the command of Dongxuan City naturally have a much deeper foundation than the casual cultivators.
Since the wormhole passage in Xingluo State was destroyed by the Green Demon Realm, not only the major forces in Xingluo State, but also the major, middle and high-level casual cultivators have left Xingluo State one after another. Looking for development.
Even some low-level casual cultivators with cultivation levels below the Golden Core realm are looking for various connections to leave Xingluo State and settle in other large states with wormhole passages.
Therefore, in the following years, there have been fewer and fewer casual cultivators in Xingluo State.
Especially after Xingluo State was completely controlled by Dongxuan City, Dongxuan City once again carried out an edict against the scattered cultivators and small forces in Xingluo State, resulting in the scattered cultivators and small forces in Xingluo State. The number of repairs fell directly to a low point.
Therefore, most of the monks who are still active in Xingluo State are already under the command of Dongxuan City.
However, Xingluo State is a big state after all, with a very vast area.
There are always some casual cultivators who are used to living alone. Because Dongxuan City does not have force to force them, there are still some casual cultivators who did not choose to join Dongxuan City in Zhao'an ten years ago. Xuancheng.
Among them was Li Yuanxing, who was in the Purple Mansion Realm.
Later, Li Yuanxing unexpectedly gained an heir after their next encounter by chance.
Li Yuanxing, who gave birth to a son, finally thought of joining Dongxuan City for the future development of his son.
But in Dongxuan City at that time, due to the establishment of villages, small towns, and cities directly under Dongxuan City in various parts of Xingluo State, branches of Dongxuan Academy blossomed everywhere.
This provided a stable source of birth for the new generation of monks in Dongxuan City, so Dongxuan City stopped accepting other casual cultivators to join shortly after the large-scale imperial edict ten years ago.
If the children of casual cultivators want to join Dongxuan City, they can only join Dongxuan City after passing the examination of Dongxuan College and successfully graduating from Dongxuan College.
But unfortunately, under Li Yuanxing's special secret method, it was very likely that his son only had a second-line spiritual root talent, and did not meet the third-line spiritual root talent that was the minimum standard for Dongxuan Academy's assessment.
Therefore, Li Yuanxing's son will most likely not be able to pass the examination of Dongxuan College and get the chance to join Dongxuan City in the future.
Actually, it’s more than just Li Yuanxing?
In the past few years, the reform winds in Dongxuan City have spread throughout Xingluo State. What the casual cultivators in Xingluo State hear and come into contact with every day are the people and things related to Dongxuan City.
Under this situation, many casual cultivators have reconsidered joining Dongxuan City.
After all, after Xingluo State is brought under the jurisdiction of Dongxuan City, even if they do not join Dongxuan City, they still have to accept the rules set by Dongxuan City.
Unfortunately, the opportunity is fleeting.
Zhaoan and the others faced Dongxuan City and turned them away. Now they want to actively join Dongxuan City, but they can no longer find a way.
“The Xingluo State Qi Refining Realm Competition officially begins now!”
One day later, more than 300 prefectures in the entire Xingluo State began the first round of the Qi Refining Realm competition at the same time.
For a time, the crowds around the battle platforms set up outside more than 300 cities in Xingluo State were surging and bustling. The dense crowds had already surrounded all the major battle platforms.
"Dad, Mom, look, that's Guo Guo. Guo Guo has defeated the big bad guy."
Among the crowd around the battle platform outside Yuan Qing Mansion, there was a man over three years old. The little girl with two braids that reached the sky looked at a figure on one of the fighting platforms and excitedly held her parents' hands and shouted loudly. The couple whose hands were held by their daughter looked at their victorious son on the fighting platform and touched their daughter's little head, their faces full of joy.
They are all ordinary residents of Yuanqing City, because their sons signed up to participate in the Qi Refining Realm Competition. As residents of Yuanqing City, although they are only ordinary people, they also have the special privilege to watch the Qi Refining Realm Competition. right.
The format of the first knockout round is very simple, and there is even a certain amount of luck involved.
All the monks from each prefecture who signed up to participate in the Qi Refining Realm Competition were randomly assigned to a duel.
The winner will be promoted and the loser will be eliminated directly.
Until the last twenty people are left, there will be another random pair-wise duel.
The winner will defend the ring as the defender, while the loser will have the opportunity to challenge three times. After winning the challenge, he can take his place and become the new defender.
After the defender loses, he can also get three opportunities to challenge.
But no matter how many times the identities between the defender and the challenger change, everyone only has three chances to challenge.
When all twenty challenge opportunities are used up, or no one challenges again, the final ten successful defenders will have the opportunity to go to the county town to participate in the second round of eliminations.
As for being injured during the battle, which will prevent you from showing your full strength in the next battle?
The wealthy Dongxuan City said that this was nothing.
In order to successfully hold the Qi Refining Realm Competition, the real elites were selected from the new generation of monks in the entire Xingluo State.
With the authorization of Ye Qingxuan, Dongxuan City has prepared a large number of elixir packages this time. As long as you are not dead after taking the elixir, you can be resurrected on the spot with full health in the next second.
And a special formation is arranged on these battle stages used for competitions.
As long as one's own cultivation level does not exceed the Zifu realm and the degree of attack suffered does not exceed the Zifu realm, when suffering fatal damage, there will be a force to protect the monk's body from devastating damage. .
In order to allow these monks participating in the competition to experience the most realistic life and death battle as possible.
This power will not block the attack for the contestant, it can only protect the core part of the contestant's body from being destroyed, and at the same time keep the contestant who has suffered a death blow in a dying state so that he will not be killed on the spot. Fall.
When the battle is decided, the strong men from Dongxuan City will come to rescue the contestants and restore them to their original state.
So, although this Qi Refining Realm Competition is a competition between the new generations within Dongxuan City, it is a battle without rules.
However, the new generation of Dongxuan City has not experienced the real baptism of blood after all. In addition, the contestants are all under the command of Dongxuan City, so there are not many who choose to fight on the fighting stage. personal.
Most competitions between contestants are still dominated by points.
As time goes by, the battle stages of various prefectures in Xingluo State have been locked in multiple rounds of fierce battles.
At the official start of the Xingluo State Qi Refining Realm Competition.
On Wanling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan held a piece of data in his hand and looked at it for a moment, his eyes dim and he didn't know what he was thinking.
In the Earthly Mysterious Realm, due to the nourishment of spiritual energy, when human beings are twelve years old, their physical bodies and meridians have been fully developed, and their spiritual roots have been completely formed. They can begin to draw spiritual energy into their bodies and embark on the path of cultivation.
It is not impossible to shorten this process and allow humans to embark on the path of cultivation in advance.
But to reduce the natural gestation and growth process of the human body without damaging the potential of the monks, special high-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures must be used.
Even for a powerful person like a Mahayana monk, spending special high-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures just to allow his children to embark on the path of cultivation a few years earlier is not worth the gain.
A few years can pass by in a snap for mid-level and high-level monks, and there is no need to spend too much time and energy in the early stage.
What's more, human intervention is sometimes not as good as letting nature take its course, so even the descendants of high-level monks rarely use high-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist them and step in early. The path of spiritual practice.
It is precisely because of this that people in the Earthly Mysterious World basically start testing their spiritual roots at the age of twelve and begin to officially embark on the path of cultivation.
Since the villages, towns, and cities in various parts of Xingluo State were built not long ago, the ordinary residents have not yet grown to their capacity.
Among these ordinary residents, with the nourishment of spiritual energy, even ordinary people can easily reach about 130 years old.
So in the Earthly Mysterious World, the proportion of children under the age of twelve among ordinary residents is generally only about 10%.
Among the 10% of children, only two or three thousandths have their spiritual roots detected.
When the major forces in Xingluo State evacuated before, they took away a group of ordinary residents. As a result, the ordinary residents in Xingluo State are now basically at the bottom among the states in the East Polar Region.
Now most of the mortal population in Xingluo State has been brought under the command of Dongxuan City.
In the past ten years, spiritual roots have been detected in the villages, towns, and cities under Dongxuan City, and the number of new generations embarking on the path of spiritual practice is far from Ye Qingxuan's expectations.
But even so, the original base of ordinary residents of the vast Xingluo State is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Under the huge secular population base
On average, there are about five to six thousand new generation monks participating in the Qi Refining Competition in each mansion in Xingluo State.
This is because some of the new generation have just embarked on the path of cultivation and have not signed up to participate in the Qi Refining Realm Competition.
Or perhaps the talent is only the first or second series of spiritual roots, and after ten years of practice, the cultivation level is still stuck at the first or second level of the Qi Refining Realm, and there is no face to participate in this Qi Refining Realm competition, and this group is in the new generation Among the monks, they account for the majority, even eight-tenths of them.
Otherwise, if we count all the new generation monks born in the past ten years, on average there must be at least 50,000 to 60,000 new generation monks in each mansion.
Of course, before Xingluo State was brought under the jurisdiction of Dongxuan City, the major forces in Xingluo State would only recruit people with spiritual roots of the third line and above.
Some of the spiritual root talents of the first and second lines of mortal origin may never have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation in their lifetime, while some have become casual cultivators before Xingluo State.
Not only Xingluo State, but also the East Ji Region and even the entire Earth Mysterious Realm before the invasion of the Green Demon Realm.
But this cannot deny the huge number of monks born in the Earthly Mysterious World every year.
There are so many new generation monks born in one house within ten years.
There are more than 300 prefectures in Xingluo State. You can imagine how many new generation monks were born in the entire Xingluo State within ten years.
Xingluo Prefecture is only the bottom state among the ordinary residents of the East Ji Region. There are ninety-nine great states in the entire East Ji Region, and there are nine great regions in the entire Dixuan Realm.
Plus the star-like islands and continents in the endless sea.
It is hard to imagine how huge the number of monks are born in the Earthly Mysterious World every year.
But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the unfathomable monks' heritage accumulated in the Earthly Mysterious World.
In order to not fall behind in the battle with the Green Demon Realm, there must be enough monks to continuously fight against the Blue Demon Clan!
