C1195 Seven territories
C1195 Seven territories
It could be said that the dragon race was a truly powerful existence in the hearts of many Demon Clan.
The Divine Phoenix Clan was located in the Phoenix Region, and was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Dragon domain. Furthermore, the place Qin Xuan was going to was the place where the Dragon Lord resided, so the true core region of the dragon race was even further away.
On this day, Qin Xuan arrived at the foot of a city. Raising his head, he looked at the ancient and majestic city in front of him.
Qin Xuan's eyes could not help but reveal a look of disappointment, he had returned here.
This city was the Sky Dragon City.
Back then, when he and Qing Yu came here and fought against Huang Zhutian, that scene was still fresh in his mind. This time, he came here alone, and was a little lonely.
He raised his head to look at the sky before stepping into the city.
Even if it was the Emperor Stage powerhouses, it would still take seven to eight days to fly from here to Core Region, but with the help of the teleportation array, it would only take two days. Qin Xuan had planned to use the teleportation array to head to dragon race.
The Sky Dragon City had three main regions, which were the battle area, the training area and the spirit array area.
The outermost area was the battle zone. The last time Qin Xuan had come here, he had seen many people fighting there, but this area seemed particularly peaceful today. With a sweep of his gaze, he did not see even half a shadow.
Qin Xuan could not help but look at her with a strange gaze.
Continuing his way forward, Qin Xuan's speed was extremely fast, and he quickly arrived at the cultivation area. When he saw the scene before him, his expression couldn't help but freeze for a moment, and he immediately understood why there was no one left in the battle area.
This was because everyone had arrived at the training grounds.
He saw that the training grounds were filled with a vast number of people, noisy discussions were taking place one after another, and the crowd was conversing with each other. Their faces were filled with unconcealable excitement, as if they were anticipating something.
Qin Xuan's eyes flashed, he arrived beside someone and asked: "What happened?"
The man glanced at Qin Xuan weirdly at first, but when he realized that Qin Xuan did not have any Spirit Demon Qi, and was actually human, his expression immediately became vigilant, and he asked coldly: "Who are you?"
"I came from the wasteland region, passed this place, and prepared to head to other Demon Clan." Qin Xuan explained, he did not want to cause too much trouble, after all, it was easy for people to be suspicious of him appearing here as a human.
That person looked at Qin Xuan carefully, and a look of surprise flashed deep within his eyes. That person looked young, and actually had a cultivation level in the Fourth Level of Origin Emperor Stage.
"You didn't know that when you first came here, there were many territories stationed in the Sky Dragon City. Every ten years, a competition would be held to determine which territories will be under the jurisdiction of the respective territories." Seeing that Qin Xuan did not have any malicious intentions, he started to patiently explain.
"So that's how it is." Qin Xuan suddenly realized.
He remembered that Qing Yu had mentioned to him before that the Sky Dragon City had seven or eight first-rate territories, and they controlled all the inns and restaurants in the city in order to collect resources from the people who were temporarily staying in the city. It seemed that they weren't controlling it as they wished. Rather, they were controlling it according to a specific rule.
"Since this is a competition between the various territories, why are so many people gathered here? This shouldn't have much to do with them, right?" Qin Xuan glanced at the vast crowd before him and continued to ask.
"Of course it does." The man laughed and said: "Do you know that there are a total of seven first-rate territories in the Sky Dragon City, the stronger the territory, the wider the area they can control, and the more cultivation resources they can obtain? As such, the seven big territories all place importance on this competition, and send their most outstanding people to battle."
Qin Xuan nodded in silence. Since this matter involved the interests of the next ten years, then of course he had to go all out.
"In addition, each territory can also hire other people from the city as external aid, but the quota is limited to three people." The other party added, "This is also the reason why there are so many people gathered here."
"For external help?" Qin Xuan's eyes revealed an interesting expression, and said: "If I want to obtain the appreciation of the seven great territories, I probably need to be extremely strong."
This competition was related to the resources allocated to the Sky Dragon City for the next ten years. One could imagine how important it would be to the seven great territories.
How could ordinary people be hired by them?
"That's only natural. Although the seven territories have groomed many talented people, they still won't give up on hiring three external helpers. After all, no one knows what the final outcome will be, so this is just a precaution."
The man slowly opened his mouth and said: "Because of this, the conditions given to outsiders in the seven great territories are extremely high, and extremely tempting. To independent cultivator, it's almost impossible to resist such enticement."
"Every three days, the seven great territories will choose a helper from the Sky Dragon City s, and up until now, there have already been two rounds of selections, but there are still only a few who were hired, the rest will all be eliminated."
Hearing that, Qin Xuan's expression congealed, it seemed that the seven big territories had very high requirements, other than demon-level characters, it did not enter their eyes.
"I see that there are a lot of people in Sky Dragon City, and there should be a number with extraordinary strength, could it be that they do not have the qualifications to be selected?" Qin Xuan asked.
"You're still too young." The man glanced at Qin Xuan indifferently and asked: "If you were a member of the seven great territories, and were unable to hire help for a long time, what would you do?"
Qin Xuan revealed a pondering expression, after that, he seemed to have understood something, his heart trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the man and said: "What you mean is, they are deliberately waiting?"
"That's right." That person nodded his head and said, "Those truly monstrous characters don't have to worry about not being able to gain the territory's appreciation. That's why they are stalling for time and waiting for the territory's conditions to improve.
Qin Xuan pondered for a moment, and said: "If that is the case, then doesn't that mean that everyone can also stall for time, and leave no one in the territory with no one to hire?
"The people from the territory aren't idiots. They've already considered everything that you can think of."
That person continued, "The standards of each Territory will continue to rise. Of course, the rewards will also continue to rise accordingly, and the reason for doing so is to give everyone a standard. If one's strength isn't strong enough yet, it's impossible to be chosen in the end."
When Qin Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up. This way, he could truly solve this problem perfectly.
Those with average strength would consciously participate in the selection in advance. They wouldn't wait until the end.
Those with true strength would also be able to enjoy higher rewards.
Everything was decided by strength.
Qin Xuan suddenly smiled and looked at the man and asked: "Since the rewards are tempting, why don't you give it a try?"
"I guess not." The man waved his hand and laughed bitterly: "I know my own limits. Not to mention those Heaven's Pride that have been nurtured in the seven great territories for many years, even some of the independent cultivator s with average talent, I am too weak."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Xuan and said: "If your realm was a little higher, maybe you could try it out. Their conditions are extremely high, and I think it would be difficult for you to reject them."
A strange look appeared in Qin Xuan's eyes, and he asked: "You think I can do it?"
The person looked at Qin Xuan with a profound look, and then said: "Although this is only the first time I have met you, I can feel that you are not an ordinary person, at least, you are an extraordinary genius that was groomed by one of the great power s. If I'm not mistaken, you came to Demon Domain to train yourself, right?"
Qin Xuan's gaze became even more surprised, nodded slightly, and said, "I guess so."
At this moment, rapid whistling sounds rang out as several powerful auras swept over from the distance. Their speed was extremely fast, as though a hurricane had descended upon this entire space.
Sensing the approach of this aura, the crowd immediately quieted down. Each and every one of them had a sharp glint in their eyes. They were eager to give it a try, had they finally arrived?
Qin Xuan also looked in that direction, his gaze frozen. The people who were coming from different directions, seemed to be from different factions.
"The people of the seven great territories have arrived."
The man beside Qin Xuan had an excited look in his eyes as he spoke.
"People of the Seven Great Territories!" Qin Xuan's eyes could not help but flash with a light, did they come to pick people now?
"There are still ten days until the day of the official competition. This means that there are still three rounds to go. Those monstrous geniuses will probably not appear today. However, it's about time for some powerful individuals to appear." The man said in a low voice, a glint flashing across his eyes.
As Qin Xuan looked at that place, he couldn't help but feel somewhat curious in his heart. He wondered what the conditions of the seven great Territories would be like today.
"I'll go first. Farewell." The man cupped his fists at Qin Xuan, and with a flash, he rushed towards the group of people in front.
Looking at the man's leaving figure, Qin Xuan knew that he had gone to watch the selection of the seven big territories.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan also walked over.
Several powerful auras descended from seven different directions. These were the chosen experts from the seven major powers. All of them were Emperors, and their auras were extremely powerful, causing the air to tremble.
Everyone, today is the third round of selection. The rules are the same as the previous two rounds.
At this moment, in a certain direction, an expert spoke to the crowd. His words were simple and straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.
As his voice fell, a tense atmosphere filled the air. Many people's eyes lit up as if they could not suppress the excitement in their hearts!
