Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 462 - 455: Easily Winning the First Round

Ding Huan glanced at the competition number plate he held in his hand.

In fact, it was a jade plate, with some array patterns carved on it; the number and characters were all displayed through the array patterns.

The number currently displayed on the number plate in his hand was 3211, followed by a row of characters: "Platform number two, against number 3212."

Yan Sha walked over with a serious expression, saying,

"Lao Liu, I'm at platform seventeen, and Lu Qiansi is at platform thirty-one; we'll head over first. You must remember not to leave your platform, and make sure not to miss the information on your number plate.

If you miss your match, you'll be deemed eliminated."

"I know, and I wish you both a triumphant start," Ding Huan waved his hand.

After Yan Sha and Lu Qiansi left, Ding Huan finally turned his attention to platform number two. The match hadn't started yet, and platform number two was still locked down by a prohibition.

Ding Huan's divine will scanned two disciples from the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, neither of whom he recognized.

He hesitated for a moment but decided not to go over and ask.

To find out why Wen Zhixi had not come here, he would have to wait for the right opportunity.

After waiting for almost an hour, Ding Huan saw a man walking on air, then stopping above the competition arena.

It was indeed a Lord.

This guy Ding Huan recognized, the Southern Lord, Ju Feihe.

Back when he served as a law officer for Lu Chongdao, this guy scanned him with divine will more than once, quite impolitely.

As soon as the Southern Lord arrived, the vast square instantly fell silent.

The Southern Lord scanned the crowd on the square before slowly speaking:

"Today is the day the Great Immortal Domain's Immortal Sect rankings competition commences. This time, the competition is personally supervised by me, and I will not allow any unfairness to occur. Anyone who dares to disrupt the fairness of the competition will be killed without mercy.

At the same time, I have some good news to announce. The top one hundred in this Immortal Sect competition will be eligible to attend the Immortal Court and listen to the Dao for a year, and they will qualify to join a Nine-star Immortal Sect or to become an official in the Immortal Court..."

Hearing that they were eligible to attend the Immortal Court to listen to the Dao and even become officials, the competing disciples buzzed with excitement.

With a wave of the Southern Lord's hand, the discussions ceased instantly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Immortal Demon Battlefield is currently not very favorable for our Immortal Court, and after the Immortal Sect rankings competition, we encourage everyone to go to the Immortal Demon Battlefield.

Any cultivator who goes to the Immortal Demon Battlefield will enjoy free transportation, and you can teleport from Half Still Immortal City.

As everyone knows, the highest ranking board in the Immortal Court is the Immortal Court Contribution Points Leaderboard. Going to the Immortal Demon Battlefield and killing Immortal Demon Beasts will earn contribution points.

Here is another piece of good news: cultivators who reach ten thousand contribution points can freely enter and exit the Immortal Court. And they can use their contribution points to buy anything they want.

These items include all advanced Immortal Pills, Immortal Spirit Rice, listening to Dao teachings and becoming an official in the Dao Court, various top-notch Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Crystals, Immortal Spirit Veins..."

Upon hearing this news, most people could hardly contain their excitement, wishing they could immediately go to the Immortal Demon Battlefield.

The Immortal Court was the place they all yearned for, and now it seemed that only ten thousand contribution points were needed to gain entry.

What were they waiting for? After finishing the competition, it was time to head to the Immortal Demon Battlefield.

However, a few were not so surprised.

The Immortal Court's provision of such generous, unprecedented terms indicated that the situation in the Immortal Demon Battlefield might not be as "not very favorable" as the Southern Lord had said, but rather very dangerous.

Previously, the cultivators of the Immortal Court were out of reach, and any cultivator who wanted to go to the Immortal Court had to go through a series of strict audits and needed enough reason.

But now, as long as you had the contribution points, it was considered strange.

Moreover, were contribution points that easy to obtain? Going to the Immortal Demon Battlefield meant risking your life.

Ding Huan also heard that there must be a major problem with the Immortal Demon Battlefield, but he was unphased.

He didn't need Immortal Pills or Immortal Crystals, and he had plenty of Immortal Spirit Rice. As for listening to teachings, he laughed at the thought; he was the strongest Law Daoist.

Those in the Immortal Court would probably want him to give lectures, so did he really need to listen to someone else's teachings?

At most, the Immortal Spirit Vein held some attraction for him, but that was as good as nothing, for he would soon have an Immortal Spirit Vein.

For him right now, it was enough to have sufficient resources; having more would only collect dust in a ring.

For instance, there were many spirit veins inside his ring now, but what use were they?

Comforting himself, Ding Huan resolved not to go to the Immortal Demon Battlefield.

"Now I declare the Immortal Sect competition officially begins; I wish all the competing disciples the best of luck," the Southern Lord said some redundant words before vanishing into the void.

Ding Huan was speechless in his heart; this guy had just said he would supervise here and then disappeared in an instant.

Some lower cultivation level cultivators thought that the Southern Lord had not really disappeared but was monitoring the competition from within the void. Ding Huan, sensitive to changes in the Dao rhythm of space, was clear that the guy had left.

Soon, the inhibitions outside the various platforms began to flicker, and one by one, the cultivators rushed onto the competition platforms.

The knockout matches involved fifty platforms, even though all the disciples that came to compete were experts selected by the Great Immortal Sects.

Still, there were gaps between the sects, and the strengths of the competing cultivators varied.

On some platforms, the winner was almost immediately apparent upon initiating contact, while others required half a day of fighting to determine a victor.

And on some platforms, the moment they began to fight, it was a desperate situation.

Such battles naturally resulted in casualties.

The Immortal Sect ranking competition had no restrictions on methods or life and death, so killing or being killed by the opponent were unspoken rules acknowledged on the stage.

Some even believed that by killing one more person, their rival Immortal Sects would score less. They struck with ruthless ferocity, aiming to kill with every move.

Ding Huan had waited for approximately two hours, when his number card began to flicker.

A new row of characters appeared on the card: "Da Fan Immortal Sect's Lao Liu, ascend to platform number two for battle within ten breaths of time."

In less than a breath's time, a disciple from the True Extreme Immortal Sect appeared on platform number two.

Ding Huan approached the edge of the stage and stepped onto it in one stride.

Before Ding Huan could even steady himself, the disciple from the True Extreme Immortal Sect had unfurled a barrage of sword light towards him.

This fellow intended to take advantage of being first on the platform to dominate the fight with his momentum.

Ding Huan felt it was ridiculous, casually lifting his hand to punch out. The opponent's sword light instantly dissipated. Before the fellow could react, Ding Huan had already kicked him squarely in the chest.

The disciple from the True Extreme Immortal Sect was promptly sent flying off the stage, thus eliminated in the first round.

A voice came from platform number two: "Contestant 3211 wins."

Those watching the fight didn't find anything amiss; it simply indicated that Ding Huan had superior strength.

After all, there were plenty who finished their fights even faster than Ding Huan, with some being knocked off the stage almost as soon as they set foot on it.

After all, Ding Huan did throw a punch and then a kick before winning.

After the match, Ding Huan nonchalantly stepped down from the stage and left, knowing he wouldn't have another fight that day.

The characters on his number card had changed as well.

"Contestant 3211, first-round victory, second round yet to begin."

Ji Busi, who had been watching Ding Huan from afar, clenched his fist and excitedly said to Elder Mu beside him, "Elder Mu, thank you. Lao Liu is indeed powerful."

Elder Mu laughed heartily. Ding Huan's performance was no surprise to him. With the kind of might Ding Huan exhibited during his tribulation, obliterating a disciple from a Four-star Immortal Sect was a given, wasn't it?

He had forgotten that Da Fan Immortal Sect was only a Five-star Immortal Sect now.

After leaving the competition grounds, Ding Huan considered changing his appearance and visiting the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect.

But he knew full well that the entire area was covered by surveillance Immortal Arrays, so if he changed his appearance, there was a high chance of being monitored.

Back at his accommodation, Ding Huan still couldn't come up with a perfect plan. The only option he had was to scout using his Divine Will.

His Divine Will was formidable, and he soon located the encampment of the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect.

In the encampments of the Immortal City's Immortal Sects, there were always Prohibitions.

Most Immortal Sects wouldn't bother adding new Prohibitions, and the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect hadn't either.

The standard level-four Immortal Restrictions provided by the Immortal Sect encampments were as good as nonexistent to Ding Huan's Divine Will.

He easily broke through the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect's prohibition, only to find that all rooms in their encampment were empty.

Not only did he not see Wen Zhixi, but her master Hua Xiaoqian was also nowhere to be found.

That was impossible. With Wen Zhixi's formidable Array Dao, there's no way she wouldn't attend the Array Dao competition here.

Ding Huan refused to believe that among the Profound Immortal-ranked disciples of the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, there was someone better in Array Dao than Wen Zhixi.

Could it be that Wen Zhixi has already advanced to become a Da Yi Immortal over these years?

Da Yi Immortals were not allowed to participate in the Immortal Sect ranking competition.

Ding Huan immediately dismissed his own speculation. Hua Xiaoqian had taken on Wen Zhixi as a disciple surely to let her compete in the Immortal Sect competition.

If that was the case, then Wen Zhixi was going to advance to Da Yi Immortal status, Hua Xiaoqian would have stopped her.

As he pondered where the problem might lie, Ding Huan's Divine Will continued to inspect the other rooms.

Huh!

His Divine Will stopped at a corner room that, surprisingly, had been fortified with a Prohibition, and moreover, it was a level-five Immortal Restriction.

Under normal circumstances, with the encampment's own security measures, no one would add additional Prohibitions.

Even Ding Huan, as an Immortal Array Master of level-six, hadn't bothered with additional Prohibitions.

The Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect had a room with a level-five Immortal Restriction?

Ding Huan certainly wasn't about to be polite. His Divine Will, nearly tangible, breached the level-five Forbidden Array in no time.

When he clearly saw what the people in the room were doing, he could hardly believe it.

Wasn't the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect known for its good reputation and the utmost emphasis on the chastity of its women within the Great Immortal Domain?

Yet, what he saw were two stark-naked figures rolling around on the room's large bed.

The woman was indeed beautiful, fitting with the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect's reputation for beauty.

The man, however, left much to be desired, with sparse hair apparent signs of cultivation technique use, thick lips, and brownish skin.

It baffled him why such a fair-skinned beauty would take such a great risk with a man like that in the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect's encampment - there really was no need for such antics.

Ding Huan wasn't about to get involved, and he immediately recorded this eyesore of a scene with a Crystal Ball, just in case there was a need for it later.
