CHAPTER 1300: CHAPTER 1300: INSIDE THE LUO JIU DIVINE PALACE

Among these nine people, Jing Yan persisted in the Red Demon Array for two hundred and thirty-three breaths, which placed him at the bottom.

In other words, Jing Yan’s final ranking in the Red Demon Array is fourteenth. This ranking is considered intermediate among the Nine Tripods Main Gods. There are nine Nine Tripods Main Gods ranked behind Jing Yan. These nine had results in the array test that were less than two hundred and thirty breaths.

Twenty-two Nine Tripods Main Gods, plus Jing Yan, occupy twenty-three of the fifty spots. The remaining twenty-seven spots are divided among those top Tri-Floral Main Gods, most of whom have birthed four Divine Core Flowers.

In total, more than three hundred martial artists participated in the Red Demon Array challenge, and this ranking only lists the top fifty.

After the top fifty, Kuai Rong Divine Lord will not deliberately rank anymore. The martial artists after the top fifty are eliminated in the challenge and have no chance to ascend the Immortal Bridge.

However, they also get two All Paths Fruit as consolation rewards.

From rank fifty to the last, everyone’s rewards are the same.

Those martial artists who did not get the chance to ascend the Immortal Bridge are naturally somewhat unwilling. But the rules are thus, and they can only accept them. The True Origin Main Gods are okay, but those Tri-Floral Main Gods close to entering the top fifty find it even harder to accept, feeling secretly angry.

They feel their gaps are not large, and if they try a bit harder or fight a bit more desperately, they might enter the top fifty and get the chance to ascend the Immortal Bridge. Once on the Immortal Bridge, they would achieve great progress in martial arts.

If luck smiles, advancing to Nine Tripods Main God on the Immortal Bridge isn’t entirely impossible.

But now, they have no chance. Regardless of the anger or frustration, it’s useless. The array challenge results cannot be changed by anyone.

Vast Smoke Divine Realm’s Great Hall.

"Hahaha..." Gao Jufan’s joyful laughter echoed.

Previously, he and most people in the Great Hall shared the same opinion, believing Elder Yan Jin would find it hard to enter the top fifty and get the chance to ascend the Immortal Bridge. Although Elder Yan Jin’s strength was robust, he was merely at the True Origin Main God realm. Even if he could kill Tong Zhen, many Tri-Floral Main Gods with four Divine Core Flowers were above him.

Jing Yan’s opportunity seemed indeed slim.

Yet unexpectedly, Jing Yan broke through his martial arts realm during the challenge and birthed the third Divine Core Flower, becoming a Tri-Floral Main God.

Not only did he enter the top fifty, but he also ranked fourteenth, which is truly a stunning achievement.

"Elder Yan Jin is from our Xuanqing Sect." Gao Jufan loudly declared as if fearing others didn’t know Jing Yan was an elder from the Xuanqing Sect of Vast Smoke Divine Realm.

"Sect Master Gao, congratulations!" Solo Domain Lord also joined in congratulating Sect Master Gao Jufan joyfully.

Solo Domain Lord is genuinely delighted. Although Elder Yan Jin represented the Xuanqing Sect at the Immortal Bridge Meeting, the Xuanqing Sect is part of the Vast Smoke Divine Realm. When people mention the Xuanqing Sect, they first think of the Vast Smoke Divine Realm.

This undoubtedly boosts Vast Smoke Divine Realm’s reputation significantly.

As the Domain Lord of Vast Smoke Divine Realm, how could Solo Domain Lord not be happy?

"Elder Yan Jin is indeed formidable. I feel that even now, I can’t be sure to defeat him," Gao Jufan said with a smile.

His words were not a deliberate exaggeration of Jing Yan.

The combat power Jing Yan exhibited was extraordinarily fierce. During his recent elevation to Tri-Floral Main God, he managed to surpass nine Nine Tripods Main Gods in the challenge. Once Jing Yan’s realm stabilizes, even if Sect Master Gao wanted to defeat Jing Yan, it would be difficult, let alone kill him.

No one in the Great Hall could refute Sect Master Gao’s words. Everyone had to acknowledge them. Several sect masters admitted that, although their current strength could suppress Jing Yan, defeating or even killing him would be exceedingly challenging.

In this Grand Hall, if there was anyone who could claim with certainty to kill Jing Yan, it might only be Solo Domain Lord. Solo Domain Lord, with combat power akin to normal Great Abilities, is a Nine Tripods Main God whose strength exceeds that of Sect Master Gao and others by a considerable margin.

"Hehe..."

"This is not the end."

"Sect Master Gao, don’t forget, there’s the tremendous opportunity of the Immortal Bridge below. When Yan Jin Alchemist returns from the Immortal Bridge, his strength will surely increase significantly. By then, not only may you fail to suppress Yan Jin Alchemist, but you might also be suppressed by him." Solo Domain Lord said with a smile.

"Yes, truly..."

"It’s indeed absurd that after cultivating for several million years, I’m defeated by Elder Yan Jin." Gao Jufan sighed, momentarily feeling somewhat despondent.

As for Xiao Wangyue and others, they didn’t merely feel downcast but rather deeply sorrowful.

The martial artists on the field dispersed, leaving only Jing Yan, who remained seated there.

Originally, the timeframe for the Immortal Bridge would start within ten days to half a month after the Red Demon Array. But now, as Jing Yan is stabilizing his realm, the two elders, Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao, have decided to wait until Jing Yan’s realm is settled before proceeding.

While some might grumble, they can only voice a few murmurs.

The martial artists about to ascend the Immortal Bridge cannot decide the time for the Immortal Bridge. The result of the deliberation by Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao cannot be altered by them.

The prominent figures in the Grand Hall certainly wouldn’t say much about this matter. To them, waiting several years, even decades is no issue.

The entire process of the Immortal Bridge Meeting can span over a thousand years.

They could wait for a millennium; a few years or decades are trivial.

...

Luli Divine Domain, Luo Jiu Divine Palace, within Jidao Palace!

"Palace Master!"

"Some Immortal Bridge Meeting battle image crystal balls have been sent to our Luo Jiu Divine Palace from the Star Moon World!"

Supreme Elder Yongming of Luo Jiu Divine Palace arrived in the Guangzhong Hall where Palace Master Xiao Ying was and slightly bowed, saying.

"Oh?" Xiao Ying raised his brows slightly and said, "Then gather everyone to watch together!"

The Immortal Bridge Meeting, held once every million years, is a grand event across the God Realm.

Thus, while the Immortal Bridge Meeting is unrelated to Low-level Divine Domains, and has nothing to do with factions like Luo Jiu Divine Palace, the high-ranking officials of Luo Jiu Divine Palace would still collectively watch battle images from the Immortal Bridge Meeting.

This has been a tradition of Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

In fact, it’s not only Luo Jiu Divine Palace, but the other three Divine Palaces in Luli Divine Domain are similar. Many forces in various Divine Domains would organize their top members to watch battle images from the Immortal Bridge Meeting, which involve combat between at least Main God realm experts.

These battles might provide certain insights for their cultivation.

Supreme Elder Yongming responded softly and did not leave the Guangzhong Hall; instead, he directly took out the Communication Crystal Stone.
