119: Chapter 119 Minor Five Elements Technique

Let alone the hundred foundation establishment pills offered at once, the fact that Great Wei is willing to bring out the "Lesser Five Elements Art" is enough to drive all the cultivation families present wild!

All Spells related to the Five Elements originate from the "Lesser Five Elements Art"!

Mastering the "Lesser Five Elements Art" is equivalent to mastering all Five Elements Spells, and even allows one to create their own Five Elements Spells.

Even for a Golden Core Cultivator, as long as their dao foundation attribute is related to the Five Elements, they can comprehend their own Divine Ability from the "Lesser Five Elements Art."

This is a Dao technique with the heritage of a Golden Core!

"May I ask, My Lord, is this ranking the total ranking for both Foundation Establishment Factions and Qi Refining Factions?"

Someone suddenly asked, which was like a bucket of cold water being poured over them.

The Cultivators who were originally incredibly excited instantly calmed down upon hearing this.

If it were a total ranking of both factions, then the top ten would have absolutely nothing to do with the Qi Refining Factions.

City Lord grinned with a playful smile: "Sorry, I missed one requirement. The so-called top ten and top hundred are actually the top five and top fifty from the Foundation Establishment Factions and Qi Refining Factions respectively, which are then combined into the total ranking."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Cultivators of the Qi Refining Factions instantly boiled over, their eyes burning with a hot desire; they actually had a chance to get their hands on the "Lesser Five Elements Art"!

In contrast, the expressions of many Cultivators from the Foundation Establishment Factions suddenly turned as dark as ink. Their gazes toward the Qi Refining Cultivators were filled with killing intent, mixed with a hint of contempt and mockery.

So what if these Qi Refining Cultivators obtained the "Lesser Five Elements Art"? Whether they had the life to enjoy it was the key.

That playful hint in City Lord's smile originated from this very fact.

It seemed like a reward given to the Qi Refining Factions, but it was actually a death warrant. Only the factions that could survive were worthy of being recruited by Great Wei.

Su Yang couldn't help but sneer at this: "Treating the lives of Cultivators like grass and treating Qi Refining Cultivators like raising Gu—what a fine calculation!"

Qin Jiangmei's face didn't look too good. Since the start of the grand ceremony, she had constantly felt the disregard for human life from these Great Wei Immortal Officials.

It was a heart-palpitating coldness.

They stood high above, viewing all the Cultivators present as ants, coldly watching these Cultivators fight and kill within the cage of rules they had meticulously woven, just to satisfy their desire for control and to wantonly manipulate the fates of others.

Clearly, Great Wei was currently in a state of war and desperately short of manpower, yet these Immortal Officials didn't care at all, still recklessly squandering the lives of Cultivators just for their own amusement.

Wei Yan said coldly: "I suspect the rules of this Secret Realm combat were actually a whim of these Immortal Officials above; the rules issued by the imperial court were likely not like this at all."

Su Xuanheng couldn't help but frown: "They dare to defy the imperial edict?"

Wei Yan nodded slightly, her eyes flickering: "Great Wei is in the midst of war, and the upper levels of the court don't have time to deal with too many things. Moreover, it's very likely that spies from Great Qi are mixed into Great Wei, deliberately weakening the overall strength of Great Wei this way."

She turned to look at Su Yang and said solemnly: "Father, do you think it's still necessary for the Su Family to enter this Secret Realm?"

With the Su Family's strength, while not 100% guaranteed to enter the top five, they were at least guaranteed one foundation establishment pill, and the points they earned could be exchanged for a large number of treasures.

The key was whether they could bring them back alive.

Su Yang pondered for a moment, and after weighing the options, his gaze became sharp.

"If we obtain the 'Lesser Five Elements Art,' we will certainly be attacked by Foundation Establishment Factions. But as long as we return to the Family and activate the Formation to defend to the death, we will have no fear of any single Foundation Establishment Faction."

"As for the journey back, our Su Family has the Puppet Substitution Technique to eliminate marks, the High-Tier Breath Concealment Art to hide our presence, and the assistance of Song Baiqing, who is in the Foundation Establishment Stage. We can actually try to go all out!"

On the surface, the Su Family was a Qi Refining Family, but its actual Foundation already belonged to a Foundation Establishment Family.

Moreover, Song Baiqing was a Sword Cultivator with a solid Foundation, and he also possessed a Foundation Establishment Legacy from his Song Family, allowing him to fight a Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment as an Early Foundation Establishment Stage. If an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage came, they would likely die on the spot.

Therefore, fighting all the way from Luoxuan City back to Qingyuan Market, while the risk was high, it wasn't necessarily impossible.

However, the current Su Family was no longer Su Yang's Family alone; he had to consult the opinions of his clansmen.

If the clansmen felt the risk was too high and were unwilling to take this gamble, he would also choose to give up this Opportunity.

In any case, the Su Family had a deep Foundation; by proceeding steadily, multiple Foundation Establishments would surely be born, and it wouldn't be too late to seek Golden Core opportunities in the future.

This was the confidence that came from having a deep Family Foundation.

After listening to the analysis, Song Baiqing simply replied calmly via voice transmission: "We will follow the Family Head's arrangements in everything!"

An Ziyao, Zhao Wanyi, and several other Sword Cultivators remained silent.

But their meaning was quite clear; they were just like Song Baiqing, following the Family Head's arrangements.

Su Xuanheng and Wei Yan looked at each other, their eyes shining with confidence.

"Yaner and I are willing to take the risk!"

Back then, they had fought their way from Sword Lake all the way back to Qingyuan. The hot blood in their hearts was still there, even more boiling than before. How could they be afraid now?

Qin Jiangmei smiled gracefully: "My Melody Dao Technique can quickly set up a Formation, which shouldn't be a problem for stalling a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for a moment."

Finally, it was Su Xuanxiao's turn, the youngest son who was the most timid and cautious in the Family.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded solemnly: "This is feasible! My Puppetry Art can lure away some enemies. Coupled with Father and Mother's Formations to trap the enemies and Elder Song protecting us, perhaps the journey home will be even smoother than we expect."

Having obtained the consent of the whole Family, a smile appeared on Su Yang's face.

With both wisdom and courage, the Family shall truly prosper!

While Su Yang's Family was talking, City Lord answered the continuous questions from the many Cultivators one by one.

"Cultivators belonging to Foundation Establishment Factions, whether they are Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment, will all enter the mixed area."

...

"Qi Refining Factions will have an exclusive area and will definitely not encounter Cultivators from Foundation Establishment Factions."

"If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is hidden within a Qi Refining Faction, that Cultivator will be separately teleported to the mixed area, and all points obtained by their faction will be voided."

...

"The jade token in front of you will automatically record your score. If the jade token is taken by someone else, the score will also be transferred to them."

"Of course, Great Wei does not encourage mutual killing; we only encourage sparring that stops at the appropriate point. I hope everyone gets along amicably."

City Lord added with feigned concern: "Therefore, besides the closing of the Secret Realm, crushing the jade talisman can also teleport you out directly, but your score will be fixed at that point, and you won't be able to re-enter the Secret Realm afterward."

Bullshit about not encouraging killing!

The Cultivators on the banquet platform cursed in their hearts.

The jade token's teleportation function claimed not to encourage killing, but the rules of the Secret Realm were inducing Cultivators to kill and seize tokens everywhere.

If they really didn't encourage killing, wouldn't it be better to just ban fighting? Yet they specifically gave it the name 'Combat Secret Realm'; it was simply trying to hide the obvious.

"Alright, everyone. Cultivators who are willing to participate in the combat and wish to obtain Great Wei's rewards, enter the stone gate now."

City Lord spread his arms and said loudly: "The Yao Beasts and spirit plants in the Secret Realm all contain star energy. Absorbing it can not only improve your cultivation but also allow you to comprehend Dao techniques and earn points to exchange for treasures rewarded by Great Wei."

"Exert all your strength to obtain points! If you miss this Opportunity, you'll have to wait another hundred years."

"How many hundred years can we Cultivators have? Without becoming a Golden Core, who dares to speak of seeing the world change over time?!"

As his voice fell, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the white jade banquet platform flew out with hearty laughter, riding a tool and turning into a rainbow light that was the first to crash into the stone gate.

Then the second, the third, the fourth...

Countless figures burst forth in competition!

Even knowing the dangers of the Secret Realm and that bloody battles were inevitable, under the temptation of Opportunity, the madness in the bones of all Cultivators had already been ignited.

At this moment, no one was afraid, only a hysterical desire for the Opportunity.

The Cultivators on the entire banquet platform were like a bursting flood, rushing into the stone gate regardless of everything!
