Xiao Tian and his companions journeyed onwards, finally arriving at a city in the core region. The city was even larger than Wanxiang City. Near the city, everywhere they looked, people were fighting for Nirvana Seals. These individuals had entered from various cities around the core region, so there were even more of them than in Wanxiang City.
Some people, unfamiliar with Xiao Tian, attempted to seize their Nirvana Seals but were quickly taught a lesson. As they got closer to the city, they encountered more desperate and desolate individuals. These were people who had lost their Nirvana Seals, their dreams shattered by harsh reality.
The group rested in this city for a night and set out early the next morning, heading straight for the heart of the region, the Hundred Dynasties Mountain. By noon the next day, they finally stopped. Before them lay a vast wilderness forest, resembling a basin, with an imposing mountain at its center. The mountain soared thousands of feet into the sky, with its top flat as if it had been cleaved by a giant hand.
"Is this the Hundred Dynasties Mountain?"
"What a majestic peak!"
Lin Dong and the others gazed at the towering mountain with fiery eyes.
"Haha, Hundred Dynasties Mountain, here I come!"
Not far away, several figures also arrived, each extremely excited. After all, they had fought tooth and nail, facing countless dangers to get here. Seeing they were about to reach the final step, how could they not be thrilled? However, this final step was the most perilous; only those who entered the Nirvana Gold List could ascend the Hundred Dynasties Mountain.
"Whoosh!"
A streak of light descended near Xiao Tian and his group. The figure wore a blue robe, their face pale as snow, with a high nose and delicate eyebrows. Though dressed as a man, the figure's delicate features and typical beauty betrayed their true gender. This beautiful woman in blue robes looked at Xiao Tian with great interest.
"I heard you single-handedly defeated the forces of the Da Luo Dynasty, the Da Qian Dynasty, and other super dynasties. It's been many years since a person like you appeared among the lower dynasties."
Xiao Tian glanced at her and asked, "You are Lan Ying of the Immortal Dynasty?"
"Didn't expect you to know me!" Lan Ying smiled slightly, gracefully extending her snow-white hand to Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian did not hesitate to shake her hand, feeling the cool, delicate touch that was almost irresistible. But he quickly released her hand, not the type to be easily swayed by a woman.
"Young Master Xiao, a word of advice." Lan Ying's beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Tian. "The leader of the Tianmo Dynasty, one of the top ten super dynasties, has obtained the inheritance of the Taotie Sect, the leader of the four major demonic sects. He will likely come looking for trouble soon."
"Thanks for the warning," Xiao Tian said calmly. "But in this ancient battlefield, those who dare to mess with me don't live long."
Although the inheritor of the Taotie Sect belonged to one of the top ten super dynasties, he was still at the Nirvana stage. Xiao Tian, on the other hand, was equivalent to the Shengxuan stage, making it easy for him to kill the opponent. However, Xiao Tian did not want to reveal too much of his strength, usually relying on his physical power.
"Young Master Xiao is quite confident!" Lan Ying's lips curved slightly as she looked at Xiao Tian's calm face, curious about the source of his confidence. She knew Xiao Tian was strong, but there were differences even among super dynasties. Dynasties like the Tianmo Dynasty and the Immortal Dynasty were the overlords among super dynasties. They were the true top figures in the ancient battlefield, always leading the way. Each Hundred Dynasties Battle, those noticed by the super sects were usually from these dynasties.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a humming sound came from the sky. Everyone looked up to see a ray of light flying from the Hundred Dynasties Mountain. In an instant, it reached them, and as the light dissipated, a figure appeared. The person stood on a giant sword, dressed in sect robes, exuding an aura of authority and pressure.
At that moment, everyone except Xiao Tian looked at the figure with awe. This respect came not only from the person's strength but also from their status in a super sect.
"To have reached this place proves your excellence. However, super sects are extremely strict in selecting disciples. Only the most outstanding will be chosen," the person said, looking down at the crowd. "To climb the Hundred Dynasties Mountain, your Nirvana Seal must be upgraded to purple-gold. Only a purple-gold Nirvana Seal will catch the super sects' attention."
Hearing this, the crowd's expressions became complicated. A purple-gold Nirvana Seal represented a Nirvana Gold List expert. To upgrade their seal to purple-gold among so many strong contenders would not be easy for most.
Lin Dong sighed, "That's too harsh. There will be brutal fighting for sure!"
"That's how super sects operate, they prefer quality over quantity," Lan Ying explained to Lin Dong. "If you obtain a purple-gold Nirvana Seal, you'll be a personal disciple in the super sect and receive focused training."
"Of course, those who perform excellently in battle without a purple-gold Nirvana Seal can still join the super sects but only as registered disciples with the lowest status."
Lin Dong asked with a smile, "With Miss Lan Ying's talent, you must have already been pre-selected by a super sect?"
"Our Immortal Dynasty is closely affiliated with the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. Naturally, I will enter it," Lan Ying replied with a light laugh. "But this only applies to those with outstanding talent. Mediocre ones can't rely on connections."
"The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?" Lin Dong and the others were hearing this name for the first time. Only Xiao Tian's heart stirred at the mention.
Ling Qingzhu's sect was the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. She would also appear in this Hundred Dynasties Battle. Xiao Tian thought to himself, "Qingzhu, this time I'll give you a big surprise."
At this moment, Lan Ying introduced, "There are many super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, but the strongest are the Seven Super Sects. The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace is one of them."
"Which one is the strongest among them?" Mo Ling asked curiously.
"The strongest is the Yuan Gate," Lan Ying said, her lips curling slightly and her eyes showing a hint of complexity. Then, she looked at Xiao Tian with a teasing smile. "These sects don't always get along. If you join a sect that has a grudge against the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, we might face off in the future!"
As they were talking, the figure in the sky suddenly waved his hand. "I hereby declare the Hundred Dynasties Battle officially begins!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
With that, countless figures flew towards the final battleground.
"Young Master Xiao, I'll be waiting for you on the Hundred Dynasties Mountain!" Lan Ying smiled, her graceful figure turning into a blur and disappearing.
"Let's go too," Xiao Tian said to his companions.
