682: Chapter 682 The Land Where Emperors Fell!

Beside him was Zhao Wuji.

Not far away, the figures of Huang Jiuli and Beichen Xing also appeared in the main hall simultaneously.

Huang Jiuli wore a red robe, her complexion slightly pale, but her phoenix eyes remained bright.

Beichen Xing also had a normal complexion, though his breathing was slightly rapid.

Surrounding them, Lin Ruoxi, Long Aotian, Feng Wuji, and Su Qingwan, along with the seven Disciples from Diluo Valley, were all in the main hall.

Everyone's gaze turned toward the four of them—Qin Yan, Huang Jiuli, Beichen Xing, and Zhao Wuji—filled with curiosity.

Who won? Who lost? Who was eliminated?

This was the answer everyone present wanted to know.

The crowd's eyes swept back and forth over the four of them, secretly guessing the outcome.

However, most of their gazes fell on Qin Yan—evidently, the vast majority felt that Qin Yan had the highest probability of being eliminated.

No background, no Family support, cultivating the most difficult Supreme-level Cultivation Technique, and having the lowest Realm among the four... With these factors combined, Qin Yan naturally became the primary target of everyone's speculation.

Zhao Wuji was the Young Lord of the Wuji Sect; although not comparable to an Imperial Dynasty, he was still a powerful force with deep foundations.

Huang Jiuli was a Personal Disciple of Phoenix Divine Mountain, and the power behind her went without saying.

Beichen Xing was a prince of the Beichen Dynasty, blessed with the Imperial Dynasty's Luck, his strength unfathomable.

The three of them all had extraordinary backgrounds and deep foundations.

Only Qin Yan was a commoner who had walked out from a remote planet, with no background and no support.

In the eyes of most, his elimination was a matter of course.

...

Just then, a flash of light appeared high in the sky.

Peak Master Jian Wuya's figure appeared out of thin air above the main hall, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze like a sword.

Without wasting words, he said directly, "Qin Yan, Beichen Xing, Huang Jiuli, you three will proceed as the final three contestants."

When Peak Master Jian Wuya's voice fell, the people around were all stunned.

Qin Yan, Beichen Xing, Huang Jiuli—the three of them?

Then, the one eliminated was...

Zhao Wuji?

Everyone's gaze turned in unison toward Zhao Wuji, their eyes full of surprise.

It was actually Zhao Wuji who had been eliminated!

This was somewhat unexpected!

In their assumptions, the person most likely to be eliminated should have been Qin Yan.

Yet, the result was that Zhao Wuji was the one eliminated.

What exactly had happened between the four of them just now?

But no one asked; after all, this was not a glorious matter, and speaking up rashly would only embarrass Zhao Wuji.

Peak Master Jian Wuya had no intention of clearing up the confusion for everyone.

He simply waved his large hand, and seven streams of light flew out from his sleeves, landing precisely in the hands of the seven participating Disciples like seven meteors of different colors.

"The battle will begin in half an hour." After saying this, he and Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan, who had been smiling silently beside him, flashed away and disappeared from the main hall.

With the departure of the two big shots, the invisible pressure in the main hall dissipated by more than half, and the air seemed to become a bit lighter.

The Disciples' breathing also involuntarily became much smoother.

Qin Yan also withdrew his gaze from the direction in which the two powerhouses had disappeared and looked down at the two items that had appeared in his hands—a Medicinal Pill and a Jade Slip.

Qin Yan recognized the Medicinal Pill; it was a Sixth-Rank Recovery Pill, mainly used to quickly restore depleted True Qi and blood.

The Medicinal Pill was perfectly round, with a warm luster, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

Although his battle with Zhao Wuji had not been difficult to win, his True Qi consumption had been quite significant, and this pill came at just the right time.

However, Qin Yan did not take it immediately; instead, he put the pill away and then submerged his Mental Energy into the Jade Slip.

Immediately, lines of information appeared in his mind.

The content recorded inside was surprisingly the information on the seven people from Diluo Valley.

Names, Cultivation Techniques, specialized methods, Spirit Beast Phantom, Concept Ranks... everything was there.

Knowing yourself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle; Peak Master Jian Wuya clearly hoped they would have a full understanding of their opponents before the battle.

Qin Yan's gaze swept over the information.

Senior Sister Luo Qinghe: Diluo Valley's First Senior Sister, Personal Disciple of the lineage master of the Moon Brilliance lineage, Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan.

She had mastered the Supreme-level Palm Concept—Luo Shen Palm Concept, and both her Body Refining and Qi Refining were at the Rank 6 Peak, making her strength extremely powerful.

Her overall strength ranked firmly first among the seven from Diluo Valley, making her the opponent to be most wary of in this battle.

Li Tianxing: Qi Refining as auxiliary, Body Refining as primary, Savage Battle Body at Major Achievement, his Physical Body was indestructible, and his defensive power was astonishing.

He had mastered the Supreme-level Fist Concept—Savage Fist Concept, his Fist Technique was open and close, domineering and fierce; when he threw a punch, it was like a savage giant beast trampling the earth, unstoppable.

His strength was unfathomable, and he was the strongest in Diluo Valley after Senior Sister Luo Qinghe.

Xiao Han: Diluo Valley's Third Senior Brother, a Genius of the Spear Dao, his long spear skills were supernatural. He had mastered the Supreme-level Spear Concept—Ice Prison Spear Concept; when the spear was thrust, it was like the descent of an ice prison, the chill was bone-piercing, capable of freezing an enemy's True Qi and blood.

His overall strength was extremely strong, and he was the representative of the Spear Dao among the seven from Diluo Valley.

Yue Qing: Mastered the Supreme-level Sword Concept—Moon Brilliance Sword Concept.

...

"The strength of this Diluo Valley is truly strong."

After reading the information on the seven people, Qin Yan also let out a sigh of admiration.

Supreme-level Concepts—a full four people had successfully cultivated them.

Senior Sister Luo Qinghe's Luo Shen Palm Concept, Li Tianxing's Savage Fist Concept, Xiao Han's Ice Prison Spear Concept, and Yue Qing's Moon Brilliance Sword Concept.

Four types of Supreme-level Concepts.

Supreme-level Concepts were not cabbages.

They were proof of a very deep understanding of the rules of the Martial Dao, and they required talent, Comprehension Ability, and Opportunity, all three of which were necessary to condense them.

Among this batch of Disciples in the East Courtyard of Taixuan Holy Land, only Long Aotian, Lin Ruoxi, and Feng Wuji had reached this level.

And Diluo Valley had produced four in one go.

This strength was not inferior to their East Courtyard at all.

What Qin Yan did not know was that the strength of Diluo Valley in previous years had not been this strong.

In previous years, it was already quite good if two Disciples had successfully cultivated Supreme-level Concepts, and most of the time there was only one.

And the reason why this batch was so strong was because of the Diluo Valley Secret Realm.

The Diluo Valley Secret Realm—that was a legendary Secret Realm, said to be the place where a Twelfth-Rank Supreme powerhouse had fallen, containing massive amounts of Opportunities and good fortune.

Because of the Diluo Valley Secret Realm, the number of prodigies applying to Diluo Valley had become much higher than in previous years, and the quality was also much higher.

Since this batch of Diluo Valley had so many geniuses, the Elders of Diluo Valley had thought of coming to Taixuan Holy Land to compete and see how this batch of Disciples compared to the top Disciples of Taixuan Holy Land.

After reading the information on these Disciples, Qin Yan swallowed the Recovery Pill.

The pill entered his stomach, and the medicinal power, like warm spring water, surged out from his Dantian, spreading throughout his body along his Meridians.

Qin Yan circulated his Cultivation Technique, digesting this medicinal power in his body.
