Indeed, the Supreme Dao Fruit had posed to have great attraction! Although Qin Wushuang had already gained two from the Nine Change Celestial Tiger, the more the better.
Of course, Qin Wushuang would not be opposed to having to many of them. If one had to identify some of the most precious goods within the Tian Xuan Land, this Supreme Dao Fruit would definitely be one of them.
It was also the most precious good Qin Wushuang had been in contact with! If it wasn’t for the totem pageant, most likely this Supreme Dao Fruit would not appear more than once every hundred years.
Therefore, even the most exceptional young people in the competition longed for that Supreme Dao Fruit. Besides, everyone was the most outstanding genius from each of their respective zones, who would be convinced otherwise?
Since no disciples from the totem powerhouse were to participate, naturally they would not be convinced by others. Therefore, it was not strange for Qin Wushuang to sense this potential hostility.
“Everyone wants to win, yet there is only one spot!” Qin Wushuang’s heart was as clear as a mirror. “If it were a competition on the arena and I am forbidden to use the sealed spiritual beast, perhaps it would prove to be a difficult situation. However, for such a training-like competition, it was the same as survival. With the sealed spiritual beasts, I will stand a great chance. Since the Qin Clan needs to build its reputation and set up their prestige, I will go for that victory!”
This was Qin Wushuang’s greatest aspiration. He had never spoke of this out loud, yet he was abnormally determined.
“Alright, young people, before the departure, please listen to my kind advice. Making a breakthrough of this island would be a true ordeal. If you do not want to lose your life, you must activate the transportation jade plate in time of crisis. Or else, if you are faced with death, the organizer of the challenge will not be held responsible!”
Chief Xue Chan said with a smile, “For the first six islands, participants are not allowed to strike at each other, you must only look after yourself! You will be disqualified immediately if you attack any other opponents!”
“At the third level, the start of the seventh island, in order to distinguish the strong from the weak, participants can make moves against one another. Of course, if you are not disciples of the same sect, you are not allowed to form an alliance. If there are alliances between disciples of different sects formed, you will be disqualified. All your previous grades will be zero!”
This rule encourages the collaboration of fellow disciples and does not encourage colluding between different sects. This also eliminates the possibility of formation between small groups to cheat.
“Alright, let’s walk onto that transportation platform!” Chief Xue Chan proclaimed lightly.
All the participating disciples walked over. The transportation platform was incredibly wide! It was as wide as a few miles. When seventy-four candidates stood amongst it, they did not appear to stand out.
When the transportation was activated, the entire platform was covered by a surge of white light. The platform slowly sunk and kept sinking underground. Suddenly, the white light surged and the formation had been completely activated.
Everyone was sent out by the Supreme Dao light instantly.
Boom!
Seventy-four figures had transformed into meteoric lights and like falling meteors, they dropped onto the first island.
The first island was basically the entry level. However, this entry level island did not mean peace! Regardless if it were the internal island or the water zone of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, there would be different kinds of spiritual beasts that would keep invading and disturbing you around every corner. Although the strength of these people was enough to deal with these spiritual beasts, if someone let down their guard, it would still be possible to lose one’s footing.
It was like a stone dropping into the sea when these seventy-four warriors landed onto the island. The entire island was the size of at least a thousand miles. Inside the Illusion Heavenly Lake, it was like a tiny chess piece. When it was set up across this natural made chess board, it appeared incredibly tiny.
For the three islands on the first level, each had a time limit of ten days.
When Qin Wushuang had entered the island, he would not diverge his attention to do anything else. Instead, he would find a quiet place to train.
As he had been on the road for quite some time, he didn’t have much time to train. It was rare for him to be within this marvelous environment of the Illusion Heavenly Lake. Although it was somewhat dangerous, with Qin Wushuang’s current strength, he would be free of worry for the three islands on the first level.
Not to mention he would have sealed spiritual beasts to defend him.
However for this time, Qin Wushuang did not make a big fuss as he only let out Sky Pilfered Mole and the Moon Palace Jade Hare. It would be alright with these two spiritual beasts on the lookout for him. For the first six islands, the candidates could not attack each other and he would not be worried about someone violating the rule.
The responsibility of Sky Pilfered Mole and Moon Palace Jade Hare would be to stay alert for any monsters charging in recklessly.
Ten days had passed with almost a blink of an eye. To speak honestly, Qin Wushuang had deeply wished this time would be longer.
However, this was the rule. After ten days, two of the seventy-four candidates had been taken out. It was not because they were inferior, but because they were truly unlucky. One of them had encountered a group of beasts and the other one was bitten by a poisonous object carelessly.
These two unlucky guys had become the aftertalk and laughing stock of the outside world.
As soon as ten days had passed, all the candidates had arrived nearby the transportation platform of the first island. They would get transported to the second island directly.
Clearly, the difficulty level of this island was much different than the first one. It was clear that the frequency and appearance of monsters had increased. The number of monsters and their strength had increased much more than the first island.
Of course, to Qin Wushuang, this would not be any pressure for him. The first three islands of the first level would take a total of thirty days.
Qin Wushuang had planned to use these thirty days to hammer his own stage. Now being at the Perfect Void Martial Stage, it would be a great opportunity for him to make a dash at that Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage.
The Void Martial Stage would be to merge with the sky, refine shapes, and acquire supreme divine skills.
The Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage is a bridge going towards the Supreme Dao Stage. It would be a stage that could shatter the void, form marvelous spiritual and physical qualities, and a great stage that combines the Dao and the Genuineness.
In other words, to enter the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, one must comprehend thoroughly that miraculous principal of shattering the void. Qin Wushuang did not lack the talent, strength, or ability to comprehend this.
He only lacked the maturity needed for this timing!
After all, training was no other matter. Besides comprehending that flash of insight in that instant, he would also need a qualitative accumulation. The process of this accumulation would differ in terms of talent. Of course, the amount of time spent would be completely different.
Qin Wushuang was one of the experts in this field. Since stepping onto the martial arts field, he had trained to the Perfect Void Martial Stage in only ten years.
Looking back at this result, he had far surpassed the limit of imagination of those in the human countries! However, when comparing him across the entire Tian Xuan Land, Qin Wushuang still had outstanding talent. Yet there were also others possessing the same outstanding talent as him. After all, the Forbidden Spiritual Zones are places where there would be an accumulation of talented people.
With that Xin Wuji as the example, he was at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. In terms of strength, Qin Wushuang would be indeed, somewhat less than Xin Wuji.
During this martial arts performance ordeal, there were at least four people at the same level as Xin Wuji! In other words, beside the Xuan Yuan Mound, each of the four other Forbidden Spiritual Zones would have one at a similar level as Xin Wuji.
These four or five people would be the top ranked competitors. Then, it would be those at the level of Qin Taichong. There would be about ten of these people.
Therefore, the difficulty level would still be great for Qin Taichong to make it to the top ten. Not to mention top four, the difficulty level could not be estimated.
With high concentration, Qin Wushuang hammered his own Primordial Spirit stage. He knew that once he were to enter the Supreme Dao Stage, each Supreme Dao elite warrior would have their own Supreme Dao attribute.
For example, the Second Chief Qin Yunran had specialized in the fire attribute. Therefore, the degree of controlling the fire attribute for him had far surpassed the other attributes.
Senior Yun Xuechen had specialized in the water attribute. Therefore, Senior Yun Xuechen’s Supreme Dao characteristics had appeared incredibly gentle and straightforward. It gave people the feeling of gentleness.
As Qin Wushuang pondered on these Supreme Dao difficulties, he thought to himself, “Since the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage is a bridge towards the Supreme Dao Stage, then after entering this Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, I will surely be associated with the problem of comprehending attributes. The Supreme Dao Stage starts from the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, the comprehension of the attribute principals would need to be valued with more significance than the Void Martial Stage and the Spiritual Martial Force…”
Qin Wushuang thought carefully that in the training path before he Void Martial Stage, what he trained was all physical martial arts. In fact, he had gone after attribute training too much. After all, powerful physical attacks would sometimes make attribute attacks appear somewhat extra…
However, in the Supreme Dao Stage, the comprehension of attributes were significant. It would become a main direction for the Supreme Dao elite warrior.
If one were to say what made the Supreme Dao Stage more powerful than those beneath the Supreme Dao level, would be the use of attributes.
In terms of natural power, one at the Spiritual Martial Force would touch on some superficial knowledge. The Void Martial Force stage would attain a higher level. Then, one at the Supreme Dao Stage would be entering the most pleasant stage.
The difference between the weak and the strong Supreme Dao stages related to the degree of comprehension. This comprehension would be relating to the control and execution of the natural elements!
In the Supreme Dao Stage, physical attacks would be more inferior.
As Qin Wushuang organized these thoughts, gradually he realized that he was clearing a path before him. The original vague training path had gradually became clearer.
The Supreme Dao Stage!
For the first time, Qin Wushuang felt eager to try for the Supreme Dao Stage!
The Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage was only a stepping stone and only a bridge. Qin Wushuang firmly believed that if he could shatter the void and enter the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, it would be easier to dash for the Supreme Dao. It was because his body and the primordial spirit had went through that Supreme Dao light baptism. It had been prepared for the Supreme Dao level. In other words, the Supreme Dao level was already an appointed destination. Only, he had made it at this moment.
Whoosh!
Another ten days had passed. As Qin Wushuang opened his eyes, he felt the air on this island was incredibly carefree and relaxed. He had passed the second island like this.
Up to this point, Qin Wushuang had not sensed any true threats. Through the transportation platform, he had arrived at the third island.
This time, the number of people that were disqualified had went up to two digits.
For the initial seventy-four people, two were disqualified from the first island. The second island had disqualified eleven. Up to the third island, only sixty-one people were left!
Although a dozen had been disqualified, it was not severe. In fact, the true core competition had yet to begin!
