The Asura Ancient Land involved the fate treasures of the five regions of the Northern Zone. Anyone who received news of its opening would be tempted.

The Great Evil Palace should have been created by the experts of the Southern Region, as well as the Great Qian Palace, Great Qin Empire, and the other major forces.

After the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region became incomplete and the ley lines collapsed, these major forces moved out of the Southern Region, leaving behind the remnant forces like the evil imperial court, and the three sects and three empires.

Chu Xuan had a premonition that other than the known forces, there would definitely be other forces from other zones participating.

A month had passed since Wang Luo single-handedly challenged a hundred Emperor realm experts. No one followed suit, and many people heaved a sigh of relief.

It was not that they were too useless, but that these three were indeed monstrous.

Thankfully, in the entire Northern Zone, there were only these three.

The number of itinerant cultivators who were able to enter the Southern Region was still very limited. Most of them were stuck outside of the Southern Region.

Meanwhile, the quota competition had already begun.

There were many people participating in the quota competition, as the quota to enter the Asura Ancient Land was strictly controlled.

Hence, more than 90% of these participants were destined to be eliminated.

The rules of the elimination round of the quota competition were very simple. If one won three matches in a row, they could enter the next round. If one lost three matches in a row, they would be directly eliminated.

Without a doubt, those who could enter the final round would all be ninth-level Emperor realm cultivators.

Apart from that, those geniuses of the major sects would not participate in the elimination battles and would directly participate in the final battle for the number of spots.

As long as they won one round, they would have their spot confirmed. If there were not enough spots, then one would be added.

Itinerant cultivators felt that it was unfair, but to the major powers of the Northern Zone, this was completely fair!

The elimination round of the competition was prepared for itinerant cultivators and to motivate the ordinary disciples of the various sects.

The chosen disciples of the sects would not participate in the elimination round. Instead, they would directly participate in the competition for the number of spots.

Passing through the checkpoints into the Southern Region was the first hurdle for itinerant cultivators. Advancing to the end of the elimination round was another hurdle.

Only by entering the quota allocation round and obtaining at least one victory could one obtain a spot to enter the Asura Ancient Land.

Apart from the geniuses of the sects, the other Emperor realm disciples of the major forces had to participate in the elimination round if they wanted to make it to the quota allocation round.

In the end, this quota competition was actually a competition between the major forces to motivate the ordinary disciples and secretly compete with each other for honor and pride.

Itinerant cultivators were just supporting characters.

Naturally, itinerant cultivators who had the backing of experts did not need to participate in the elimination round.

In this world, strength spoke for itself.

Xiao Liang would not participate in the elimination round, and Ding Yue and Wang Luo were naturally the same as well.

If they really wanted to, they could even choose not to participate in the quota allocation round. If they really wanted to enter the Asura Ancient Land, they would. Which faction could stop them?

Chu Xuan looked at the competition briefly. To him, it was just a farce, and he immediately lost interest.

The great show would truly begin inside the Asura Ancient Land, when Qin Ying returned.

Given the number of participants, it would probably take several years before the geniuses of the various major factions would compete for the number of spots in the final round.

Ding Yue and Wang Luo returned together.

“Greetings, Master!”

“Rise.”

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with these two disciples.

Before they returned, they had earned him a big reward.

Since Ding Yue and Wang Luo came back, Chu Xuan called out Xiang Xing and Hei Yue and introduced her to them.

She was also his only female disciple.

“Greetings, Senior Brothers!”

Hei Yue bowed.

She sighed in his heart. As expected of Master’s disciples, they were fierce experts who fought against a hundred Emperor realm experts alone.

They were indeed extraordinarily monstrous.

“Greetings, Junior Sister!”

Ding Yue and Wang Luo returned the greeting.

Then, Wang Luo casually took out a few bottles of pills as a greeting gift.

Ding Yue was not stingy either. This guy had plundered many treasures in the Earth Spirit race’s mystic realm.

“Thank you, Senior Brothers.”

“We’re family. You’re welcome.”

Ding Yue waved his hand.

Seeing that these two senior brothers were not enamored with her, Hei Yue could not help but doubt her own beauty.

The scene of the senior brothers being attentive and fawning over their junior sister did not appear.

Especially the Eldest Senior Brother, Ding Yue, his gaze seemed to imply that he did not even see her as a woman.

On second thought, this was right. If he was easily attracted by beauty and fawned over her, then he was not worthy to be her master’s disciple, and not worthy to be her senior brother.

“Master, there’s someone very powerful among the participants. I feel that his strength is not weaker than mine!”

Ding Yue said emotionally.

Chu Xuan smiled. Of course. Xiao Liang was born with the battle bones, a battle heart and a battle soul. He also had a precious treasure like the slow vine, so how could his strength be weak?

He also cultivated the Limitless Battle Dao, which was an incomparably powerful cultivation technique. In the entire nine zones, he was also qualified to be called a monstrous talent.

Of course, Ding Yue was not the slightest bit weaker.

His Sword Dao had already reached a very high realm, and he also had a supreme treasure. He was also the Holy Child of the Earth Spirit race.

If they really fought, the outcome would be hard to predict.

“That’s your junior brother, Xiao Liang!”

“What? It was our junior brother?”

Ding Yue and Wang Luo were shocked.

Hei Yue was also shocked. She knew better than anyone else how powerful Xiao Liang was.

“Apart from you all, I have also taken in a few disciples outside.”

Chu Xuan smiled and said, “There are two in-name disciples and a servant. You will meet them in the future.”

Ding Yue and Wang Luo were stunned. They looked at Xiang Xing in confusion. Could it be that their master had left the small courtyard before?

Ever since they had taken him as their master, they had never once seen their master leave the small courtyard!

Xiang Xing shook his head, indicating that their master had never left.

Their master was too powerful and mysterious. He had taken in such a monstrous disciple without even leaving the courtyard?

Ding Yue felt pressured.

He had to work hard in his cultivation. He absolutely could not allow his junior brothers to catch up.

“Since you are all here, I will preach the Dao to you. How much you can comprehend will depend on your good fortune,” Chu Xuan said.

Ding Yue, Wang Luo, and Xiang Xing heard this and hurriedly sat down respectfully, listening attentively.

Hei Yue also sat down.

This was the first time she was listening to her master preach the Dao.

Su Xian’er and Chu Yun came out, sitting beside Chu Xuan on the left and right, waiting.

This was the first time Chu Yun would hear Chu Xuan preach the Dao. She was very curious about what kind of extraordinary insights her Thirteenth Brother thirteen had.

In her eyes, Chu Xuan had become more and more mysterious and unfathomable.

Chu Xuan sat upright on the chair and displayed his Heaven-shaking Divine Image. He looked like a truly peerless mighty figure.

The Sagemaster’s Halo was activated and covered everyone present.

His words brought forth Dao aura and contained Dao intent. As soon as he opened his mouth, Ding Yue and the others fell into a wonderful state of enlightenment.

They gained more understanding and comprehension toward cultivation. Some bottlenecks and areas that they could not comprehend previously were instantly cleared up.

They now had a smooth path to the Supreme realm, and would not even encounter any obstacles during their cultivation to the Heaven realm.

As long as the accumulation of their cultivation foundation was sufficient, they would be able to break through easily.

Chu Xuan stopped preaching. The Sagemaster’s Halo was still activated. He looked at the people around him who were immersed in a state of enlightenment and silently raised his teacup to take a sip.

This was his first time preaching the Dao after breaking through to the Dao realm. Unlike the past, what he preached about now was the Dao itself, which gave them direct insight into the path of cultivation.

Of course, Ding Yue and the others’ cultivation levels were still low, so they were unable to comprehend the depths of what he was preaching. What they comprehended would be enough for them to reach the Heaven realm smoothly.
