However, the vast majority of them did not leave. They heard that Qin Xuan would send his forces back to the five Sacred Islands, and a new batch of great power would surely come. At that time, they could join again.
Outside First Emperor Island, outside None-beginning Palace, five magnificent Battle stage stood side by side in the air. Faintly, a divine light spread out, revealing a majestic atmosphere.
Many figures appeared on top of the Battle stage, and the one in the middle was Qin Xuan. He was dressed in a simple white robe, with his long hair flowing down the back of his head like a waterfall, casually standing there, becoming the focus of the entire competition. Countless people around him looked at him with reverence and yearning in their eyes.
That white-clothed youth was the co-owner of Xihua.
In terms of status, he was already the same as Xi Hua Holy Lord from back then.
Li Mubai, Jiang Fengjue, and the rest all stood beside Liu Tie, their gazes all focused on the ahead. Today, the selection of the five Holy Island's main forces would be held, and quite a few people from the Wu Iron Sect would be standing by the side of the Emperor's Peak Stage.
After all, there were only so many spots.
Qin Xuan's eyes swept across the candidates and saw many familiar faces, such as Palace Lord of Zixiao Palace, the Yue Clan Head and Kong Fan of Kong Clan. Of course, there were also many that he did not know, coming from different islands in Xihua Islands.
Everyone wanted to go to the five Sacred Islands.
If they could get selected, they would have the chance to read the cultivation manual written by Xi Hua Holy Lord. The temptation was not small, after all, they had been trapped in a bottleneck for countless years, and it was difficult for them to advance even a single inch.
As such, they wanted to go all out.
Perhaps by seizing this opportunity, he would be able to break through the shackles and step into the legendary realm!
"This time, a total of five forces will be selected and will take up their positions on each island. As for the other forces, whether or not they choose to take up their positions is up to you." Qin Xuan said loudly to the crowd.
The moment Qin Xuan finished his words, a hint of disappointment flashed across the eyes of many people. Only five spots?
They thought that there would be more of them, but to their surprise, there were only five of them!
However, after thinking about it for a bit, they understood how precious Xi Hua Holy Lord's cultivation technique was. It could be said to be a chance for him to become a saint, so how could he let too many people know about it? Only the core members had the qualifications.
Whether they could win it or not depended on their own strength.
In fact, Qin Xuan had also considered expanding the quota before, but he eventually gave up on this idea. Although this might make many people become saints, it might also cause some shortcomings.
For example, if there were too many experts on the same island, without a single power to take charge of the situation, it was highly likely that there would be internal strife, thus breaking the original balance.
Even though he clearly forbade civil strife, what would happen if he wasn't here in the future?
Since ancient times, people were fickle. In front of benefits, the vast majority of people would want to break the rules and gain more benefits for themselves. However, this was not the result Qin Xuan wanted to see.
Therefore, he only gave five slots for the Five great power s to ban the super First-class forces s before they became stronger, so that the other powers could gradually increase their strength.
Qin Xuan told his idea to Feng Qing, and Feng Qing also agreed with Qin Xuan's decision. It was not difficult for a force to become stronger, but it would take a long time for it to develop steadily.
"Five Battle stage are right in front of you. If anyone can obtain five consecutive victories, then they will be considered as one of the top five, and the losers will not be able to get on the other Battle stage." Qin Xuan announced the rules.
Although these rules sounded simple, it wasn't an easy matter to win five consecutive victories. After all, only the emperors from the Royal Clan dared to compete, they were naturally very confident in their own strength and weren't ordinary individuals.
"A battle between two Emperors is quite interesting!" Hou Sheng's eyes lit up, as if he was anticipating the upcoming battle.
"Let's wait and see." Qin Xuan smiled as he glanced at Hou Sheng. This guy seemed to be born for battle, and was only interested in battle.
The instant Qin Xuan's voice fell, many figures explosively shot out. In almost an instant, two figures appeared on the five Battle stage.
After obtaining five consecutive victories, they would be qualified. Most people's thoughts were to seize positions, and the sooner they made their move, the greater their chances would be. If they waited any longer, the opponents they would encounter would be a bit stronger.
Qin Xuan looked at the first Battle stage, one of them he recognized, it was Zixiao Palace's Palace Lord, the other one he did not remember, he did not know where they came from.
"The one fighting Lin Sheng is Sect Master of the Falling Mountain Sect of the True Martial Island, Zhu Hui." Lin Sheng was Zixiao Palace Palace Lord's name.
"Collapsing Mountain Sect's Sect Master?" Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a strange light as he turned to Lu Zhan and asked, "In your opinion, who would be stronger?"
"Zhu Hui is a very prestigious person on True Martial Island. I can't tell who is stronger." Lu Zhan laughed bitterly.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly and looked at the battle on the Battle stage. Although the Emperor was a little far away to him, to be able to observe a battle of this level was still beneficial for his cultivation.
"Sorry." Lin Sheng said to Zhu Hui. Lifting up his palm, the boundless Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth converged, turning into a Spiritual Qi zither.
Following that, the zither strings began to vibrate intensely and actually released waves after waves of ear-piercing sounds. The pressure of the zither Dao enveloped the entire Endless Area, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the air, a terrifying storm was born and howled towards Zhu Hui's body.
Zhu Hui's expression was extremely sharp, he suddenly took a step forward, and then his hands shot out, releasing an endless amount of divine light. Around his body, numerous huge mountains condensed and formed, weighing more than 1000 kg, falling from the sky, smashing fiercely onto the sound of zither Storm.
Every single Battle stage had a defensive light curtain around them, and it was of the Holy-ranked strength. With Feng Qing personally setting them up, even if the Great Emperor himself were to go all out, he would still be unable to break this light curtain.
The two destructive energies collided violently, causing dazzling sparks to burst out. It was unknown how terrifying this collision was.
"This …" The hearts of the spectators all jumped, especially those that had just stepped into the Emperor Profound Realm. Their gazes froze as they wondered, was this the battle between supreme existences akin to supreme emperors?
Just by observing from a distance, they already felt that it was extremely terrifying. If not for the defense of the light curtain, it was likely that everything here would have been razed to the ground.
"Bang …"
Bang! With a loud noise, the sound of zither storm was smashed into pieces by the mountain. One after another, the mountains were ripped apart by the storm and turned into pieces that shot out in all directions.
Lin Sheng did not hesitate, his body rushing forward, the sound of zither vibrated intensely, a sound transmitting talisman sounded out, in that moment, as though a True Dragon formed in the sky, it roared towards the sky, following that, it moved through space and clawed at Zhu Hui with its terrifying claws.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the eyes of the True Dragon, meeting Lin Sheng's gaze from a distance. At this moment, it was as though two powerful soul power whizzed out, and clashed formlessly in the air.
"Zhu Hui is about to lose." Feng Qing said when he saw this.
"Why?" Qin Xuan looked at Feng Qing in confusion.
"Zhu Hui is proficient in positive attack techniques, soul power are not his strong point, but zither cultivator has played and tempered their souls for many years, thus their soul power are generally strong, so Zhu Hui is naturally no match for Lin Sheng." Feng Qing explained slowly.
"That's right." Qin Xuan nodded in understanding. Master's soul power seemed to be very powerful as well, and Lin Yichen's soul power was already at the Emperor Level before they even entered the Emperor Realm.
Sure enough, as Feng Qing expected, not long after, a light sound came from the air and Zhu Hui's body retreated backwards. His long hair fluttered in the wind and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, Zhu Hui had lost.
Zhu Hui looked at Lin Sheng with some unwillingness in his eyes. If he hadn't used his soul to fight with Lin Sheng, perhaps the outcome wouldn't have been like this.
One wrong move, and he would lose all of them.
"Thanks for the win." He knew Zhu Hui's strength was on par with his. If he hadn't taken the initiative to launch a soul attack, he wouldn't have won so easily.
After that, the other four Battle stage also had results. Some stayed behind, while others left after a slight defeat.
As time passed, the soul-stirring battles played out on the Battle stage, causing the crowd to occasionally let out cheers and screams, and the hearts of the people rose and fell along with the battles of the Battle stage.
There were a few who had already won four consecutive victories, but the fifth person on stage was an even stronger expert, so he was able to directly defeat him and end the four victories.
Lin Sheng did not last until the end. After obtaining three consecutive victories, he was defeated by one of Aurora Island's Sect Master and was eliminated early.
Only one person was able to win five consecutive victories with the fastest speed possible. He was the first to rush onto the Battle stage, consecutively defeated five opponents, and successfully took first place.
This person was none other than the clan leader of the Yue clan, Yue Shuo.
Only at this moment did many people realize the true power of the Yue clan. It was because they had always been hiding their strength, but today, they completely revealed their powerful side, shocking everyone present.
After Yue Shuo, the other four places were won.
What was especially surprising was that there were five spots, four for each Sacred Island. The remaining one spot was taken by Sect Master, a non-Sacred Island power. It seemed to be a very balanced one.
At this point, the super First-class forces of the other five Sacred Islands had already been determined.
The crowd looked at the five victors with unconcealable envy in their eyes. Having obtained a placing meant that they would have the chance to read Xi Hua Holy Lord's ancient book and be one step closer to becoming a saint!
