"Alright, I won't challenge it. You can all enter the ring."
Lin Fan said. With a thought, Black Devil, the Dragonsnake Greater Demon, Boss Ge, and Little Yin all transformed into phantoms and entered Lin Fan's spatial ring. The Runic Beast also transformed into a phantom and attached itself to Lin Fan's back, transforming into a tattoo.
Then Lin Fan also placed his magic treasures and immortal swords into his spatial ring.
Next, he took out a One Breath Escape Talisman and crushed it. The jade talisman exploded, transforming into a ball of black light that rapidly wrapped around Lin Fan. Then Lin Fan's vision darkened, and he couldn't see anything. He could only hear the sound of rushing wind in his ears.
A moment later, his vision brightened once more. He had already left the Hundred-Battles Calamity Room and arrived in Jadefall City's plaza.
Two officials were sitting in Jadefall City's plaza. Around them were a large group of competitors, as well as a few spectators. The Yu sisters were also present. When they saw Lin Fan, they hastily walked over.
"Lin Fan, why did you come out so early?" asked Yu Qingxue.
"Early? What time is it now? How many days have I been down there?" asked Lin Fan blankly.
There was no daylight in the underground cavern. There was no sun or moon, so it was impossible to tell the time. Lin Fan felt that time was about right. In truth, he had only been in the Hundred-Battles Calamity Room for a little over four days.
"Four days," said Yu Qingxue.
"Oh, it's only been four days?" Lin Fan was startled.
"If you come out so early, your results definitely won't be that good. Hmph," said one of the competitors disdainfully.
Generally speaking, if you came out early, your results would naturally be bad.
For example, the competitors standing in the plaza had all failed to pass the trial. They had all crushed their trial talismans when they had encountered danger.
Because their results weren't good, they hadn't been able to leave. They wanted to see how the others had fared.
When they saw that Lin Fan, who had broken the competition's record, had also come out so early, they were certain that his results weren't that good either. At most, he would have passed five trials.
That immediately made them feel much better.
At this time, the two officers also stared at Lin Fan with some surprise, and some disappointment appeared on their faces.
Lin Fan was the dark horse of this year's competition. Everyone had high hopes for him. Since he came out so early, it seemed like his results weren't that great.
And from this, it could be seen that the results of this batch of rookies were not very good. Because before seven days were up, 95 out of 100 people had already come out.
"Yes, it's a pity that I came out before the day was up," Yu Qingxue said sadly.
"I only passed two stages."
"Two stages are already pretty good," Lin Fan comforted.
"What about you?" Yu Qingxue asked.
"That's right. Lin Fan, how many levels did you pass?" Yu Qingwen was also looking forward to it.
Lin Fan took out the nine checkpoint talismans from his storage ring and waved them around. Instantly, the Yu sisters were stunned. Instantly, the other contestants were also stunned. Instantly, the two officers were also stunned.
The nine checkpoint talismans represented that Lin Fan had passed the nine checkpoints.
What did nine checkpoints mean?
Moreover, he had only used four days to do it.
In the previous Chamber of a Hundred Battles, those who could pass eight checkpoints would be able to compete in the competition.
Of course, there were also fierce people who had passed ten checkpoints, but that was a very long time ago. Back then, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was dozens of times richer than it was now. It was completely different. In any case, in the competition for hundreds of years, no one had passed the ninth checkpoint. Speaking of which, Lin Fan had broken another record.
Suddenly, the few contestants who were still looking down on Lin Fan just now felt like they had been slapped in the face. Their faces turned red, and they lowered their heads in shame.
When Lin Fan walked to the front of the stage and handed the nine checkpoint talismans to the two officers under everyone's shocked, admiring, and envious gazes, the two officers stood up and cupped their fists to congratulate Lin Fan.
"Deacon Lin is definitely the first in this Golden Immortal Ranking Competition. Congratulations!"
"Passing nine checkpoints in four days in a row, this result is unprecedented and will never be surpassed. Deacon Lin has broken another record." The other officer also stared at Lin Fan in amazement.
Although some people had passed the ninth checkpoint, and some people had passed the tenth checkpoint, but those people took no less than six days, and they even completed it at the end of the Chamber of a Hundred Battles on the seventh day.
And Lin Fan had passed nine checkpoints in four days. Although it could not be said that no one would be able to do it in the future, it was indeed unprecedented, so it could be considered as breaking a record.
"Thank you, thank you."
Lin Fan cupped his fists to the two officers, and one of them immediately recorded Lin Fan's result in the result jade book.
Since the two officers said this, it was obvious that until now, none of the contestants who had left the Chamber of a Hundred Battles had a better result than him.
Although there were still a few people who hadn't left the Chamber of a Hundred Battles, staying in there for a long time didn't necessarily mean that their results would be better.
After all, passing the checkpoints required a large amount of time, and each person's time was different. Some people could pass three checkpoints in a day, while others could only pass one, or even one every two days.
If there were no surprises, Lin Fan's result was definitely first place.
So Lin Fan didn't have any misgivings. Furthermore, there was no point in paying attention to other people's results.
So he didn't stay in the plaza like the other contestants, and directly left after handing over his checkpoint talisman.
Seeing Lin Fan leave, the Yu sisters also left. The three of them walked toward the Jade Heaven Restaurant.
On the way, the Yu sisters praised and sighed. Lin Fan, you only used four days to pass the nine checkpoints. Excluding the rest time and rushing, you passed three checkpoints a day on average. "
"Yeah, Lin Fan, just how powerful is the ninth checkpoint's guardian?" asked Yu Qingwen curiously.
Lin Fan smiled. "The ninth checkpoint's guardian is a Violet Palace Exalted Immortal."
"What Violet Palace Exalted Immortal?!" Yu Qingwen's rosy lips formed an 'o' shape. She almost couldn't believe her ears.
A Violet Palace Exalted Immortal was a powerful existence. Lin Fan was only a triple-liquid Golden Immortal. How could he defeat a Violet Palace Exalted Immortal?
"No, it should be a Violet Palace Exalted Immortal. A Violet Palace Exalted Immortal should be a bit stronger," said Yu Qingxue.
Lin Fan, am I right? "
"Yes, it's like that. A Violet Palace Exalted Immortal's strength should be equivalent to a Violet Palace Exalted Immortal's two ice realms."
"Ah, what Violet Palace Exalted Immortal's two ice realms?!" Yu Qingwen's mouth opened even wider, and a duck egg could be stuffed inside.
She stared at Lin Fan in shock. Her admiration and admiration surged like a torrential river.
"Lin Fan, you're too heaven-defying," said Yu Qingxue with jealousy. "My cultivation is higher than yours, but I only passed two checkpoints. How embarrassing!"
"Hmph, you're still talking about it." Yu Qingwen glared at her sister, Yu Qingxue. "We have the same cultivation, but you're still in the top 100. What about me? I didn't even make it into the top 100. How am I supposed to face Father?"
"Hey, Qingwen, let me tell you a good idea.
I guarantee that you'll be able to face Father when you return, and it'll be very grand. "As Yu Qingxue spoke, she pulled Yu Qingwen aside and whispered to her.
When Yu Qingwen heard her sister's idea, her beautiful face turned red. She bashfully patted Yu Qingxue and said, "Aiya, you're always coming up with bad ideas. You don't act like an elder sister at all."
As she spoke, she hurriedly glanced at Lin Fan. When she saw Lin Fan looking at her, she immediately turned her gaze away in embarrassment. Her heart raced.
Yu Qingwen's blushing cheeks were as beautiful as a flower. Lin Fan's heart was moved.
Yu Qingwen's expression also allowed Lin Fan to roughly guess what idea Yu Qingxue had given her sister. He immediately felt a little excited.
Yu Qingwen's face was as beautiful as a flower, and her beauty moved his heart. However, how could Yu Qingxue's beauty not move his heart?
The two sisters had exactly the same face. They were a pair of natural twins. If he could hug one on each side, it would be a great fortune. It would be a great joy in life.
However, if he married one of the two sisters officially, then with her father's status and reputation as the Stormy House Master, he would naturally not marry the other daughter to him.
After all, if the two sisters served the same husband, it would be a big joke. It was just like when he had Yan Ruxue, Yan Ruyu, and Yan Biluo in the Immortal Realm. Later, his father, Yan Ruohong, was almost angered to death.
Therefore, if he wanted to have the two sisters, he had to think of a wonderful way. Anyway, even if Lin Fan couldn't have the two sisters, he would never allow other men to touch them.
During the Hundred Battles Room Challenge Competition, Lin Fan only slept once and didn't have a proper meal. When Lin Fan was about to return to Azure Heaven to have a good meal, the bald old man who had been poisoned by him suddenly appeared in front of him.
This bald old man wanted to kill Lin Fan in the Hundred Battles Room because Lin Fan had destroyed his Thunder Drum. Lin Fan and Yu Qingxue joined forces and poisoned him with the Yin Blade. As a result, he activated the One-breath Escape Talisman and left the Hundred Battles Room without passing a round.
The hatred in his heart could be described as monstrous.
For the next four days, he had been waiting for Lin Fan, waiting for Lin Fan to come out of the Hundred Battles Room to settle the score.
In the end, Lin Fan came out, but Lin Fan passed nine rounds at once. Not only did he amaze everyone, but he also scared him.
He had also participated in the Hundred Battles Room Challenge Competition and knew what it meant to pass the ninth round.
Therefore, the thought of revenge immediately disappeared. He knew that if he wanted Lin Fan to help him remove the Yin Spirit, he had to admit defeat and beg Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan and the Yu sisters saw the bald old man suddenly appear in front of them, they couldn't help but be surprised. Then, anger appeared on their faces.
Yu Qingwen naturally did not have a good impression of this person who had defeated her and almost took her life. She immediately pointed at the bald old man and shouted, "Hey, you old man, you actually dare to appear in front of this young lady. You must be tired of living."
Yu Qingxue also raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Hey, damn old man, you're haunting us. Do you believe that we won't kill you?"
As she spoke, she took out her immortal sword with a murderous look on her face.
Unexpectedly, the bald old man was no longer as arrogant and arrogant as before. With a plop, he knelt in front of Lin Fan and cupped his fists and said, "Lin Shaoxia, two ladies, I've offended you in the past. The three of you are magnanimous and don't bother with this old man."
Lin Fan knew that he was here to ask for his help to expel the evil spirits. He immediately smiled playfully and said, "Alright, old man, I know what you want to say, but now is not the time to talk about this. Now, I'll give you a task."
When the bald old man heard Lin Fan's words, he knew that he was unwilling to expel the evil spirits for him now, so he said, "Lin Shaoxia, if you have anything to say, just tell me. In the future, this old man will be at your beck and call and will serve you for the rest of my life."
"Alright, now go to the best restaurant nearby and book a table for me. I want to treat the two ladies to a meal," Lin Fan said.
"Yes," the bald old man said, then got up and walked towards the most high-end restaurant on the street.
Seeing the bald old man obeying Lin Fan's orders and bowing to him, the Yu sisters smiled. Their admiration for Lin Fan rose again.
"Let's go, the two of you. I'll treat you to a meal." Lin Fan walked forward.
"Then we'll do as you say." The Yu sisters gladly followed.
One on the left and one on the right, they followed Lin Fan.
In order to please Lin Fan, the bald old man ordered a table of the best wine and dishes in the most high-end restaurant.
With delicious food and beautiful women accompanying him, Lin Fan ate and drank to his heart's content. After a delicious meal, Lin Fan returned to the Azure Heaven with the Yu sisters. After returning to his room, Lin Fan had a good sleep.
Soon.
Three days passed.
After the challenge of the Chamber of a Hundred Battles ended, the five contestants also came out of the Chamber of a Hundred Battles one after another and reported their results.
After the officials obtained the results of each participant, they drew out those with similar results and let them compete. The winners were ranked at the front and the losers were ranked at the back. In this way, the rankings of the Golden Immortal Ranking Competition were finally clear.
Since no one else passed the ninth round, Lin Fan was naturally ranked first. Yu Qingxue, who passed two rounds, was ranked eighty-third.
At this point, the ranking of the Golden Immortal List was over.
Next was the ceremony of the ranking competition, the Imperial Edict Ceremony.
The officials wanted to use this ceremony to announce the names of the top hundred contestants of the Golden Immortal List to the world. Then, it would be the Imperial Edict Ceremony.
The so-called Imperial Edict Ceremony was to divide the top hundred contestants into different territories and tribes.
They would become the lords of their territories and the "kings" of their tribes.
A few days before the Imperial Edict Ceremony, people from all over the Azure Heaven Domain gathered in Azure Heaven City to watch the ceremony.
After all, this was a grand event that was held once every fifty years and was very eye-catching. Moreover, this event was the final highlight of the Golden Immortal List Ranking Competition. No one was willing to miss this opportunity.
The day finally arrived and the Imperial Edict Ceremony was held as scheduled.
The venue of the Imperial Edict Ceremony was the Azure Heaven City Square.
Early in the morning, Jadefall City was already packed to the brim with people. There were several traffic jams on the main roads as people swarmed into Jadefall City Square from all directions. From the looks of it, there were no less than a hundred thousand people.
In Azure Heaven City Square, a very tall and magnificent stage was built. On the stage sat a row of officials of high rank.
The ten domain lords were all present, and the Azure Heaven City Lord was among them. The four protectors of the Azure Heaven Emperor were also present.
When the Imperial Edict Ceremony was about to begin, Azure Heaven City Square was finally filled to the brim. There were as many people as ants, surrounding the stage so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Right at this moment, a huge green bird flew over from the sky. On top of the bird sat a person with a crown on his head. A bead curtain hung down, covering his face.
That bead curtain was extremely dense, transforming into a blurry light. That light not only blocked everyone's vision, but also their divine sense could not penetrate. That person was wearing a loose and luxurious robe. Beside him, there was a half-illusory and half-real Qi circle. Inside that Qi circle, there were all kinds of things. There were stars and moons, wind and rain, thunder and lightning, houses and houses, grass and trees, flowers and birds, money and silk, sabers and swords, cloth and horses. There were all kinds of things and all kinds of things.
