This farce was nothing to Feng Lun and the other higher-ups. Feng Lun continued to invite Leng Shiqi into the City Lord's Mansion.
It was only then that Xu Zhi, who was behind Leng Shiqi, recovered from his shock. He stammered, "B-Brother, oh no, senior, y-you're in the Unity of Heaven and Man realm!"
"The realm is nothing. I also want to thank Brother Xu for accompanying me for so long."
Leng Shiqi said politely. He patted Xu Zhi's shoulder lightly, and then an extremely pure aura surged into Xu Zhi's body. In the blink of an eye, all of his spirit veins were cleansed.
Xu Zhi's originally heterogeneous spirit energy was completely refreshed, making him feel so comfortable that he couldn't help but close his eyes.
This also meant that the hidden dangers in his cultivation had been removed, and his future cultivation would be twice the result with half the effort.
By the time Xu Zhi opened his eyes, Leng Shiqi had already entered the City Lord Residence. Leng Shiqi had a strange expression as he said, "I'm actually addressing a great expert at the Union of Heaven and Man realm as brothers. I'm afraid I'm not dreaming, right?"
When Leng Shiqi walked in, there were already more than 20 people sitting in the City Lord's Mansion.
At a glance, these people were all in the Unity of Heaven and Man realm!
Such a lineup would be shocking outside, but in Leng Shiqi's eyes, it was nothing. After all, he had far more experts in the Unity of Heaven and Man realm under his command.
He looked around and found that one-third of the people in this group were wearing yellow and blue clothes. Upon closer inspection, there were eight people.
These eight people were all from the top sect, the Mountain Sea Sect!
There were also three or four people from the Wu and Tang families, and one of them was an "old acquaintance" of Leng Shiqi.
This person's name was Tang Haoqing, the Tang Haoqing who almost killed Leng Shiqi a few years ago in front of the Blood-Cloak Pavilion branch!
At that time, Tang Haoqing was still in the Spirit Astral Realm, but now he had broken through to the Unity of Heaven and Man realm. However, he was only in the early stage, and was at the bottom of the crowd.
For him to participate in the World's First Spirit Cultivator Assembly with such a cultivation, it must be out of helplessness. This also meant that the Tang Family was indeed declining.
When Leng Shiqi saw Tang Haoqing, a murderous intent flashed in his heart. This was the so-called 'enemies meet on a narrow road'.
In addition to these three forces, there were also a few rogue cultivators. As for the rest, they were experts from the Discipline Commission and the Dark Thunder Guards.
As direct subordinates of the Thunderblaze Dynasty, the experts of the Discipline Commission and the Dark Thunder Guards were naturally qualified to participate in the First Spirit Cultivator Conference.
However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, the people from the City Lord's Mansion were not allowed to participate.
When the experts in the room saw Leng Shiqi come in, they were all shocked because Leng Shiqi was too young!
In fact, the current Leng Shiqi was his original appearance. He was not disguised, and he was only 20 years old.
Of course, as long as it was a Spirit Cultivator of the Four Realms of Heaven, they could not judge their age purely from their appearance. At first, they thought that Leng Shiqi had specially cultivated a technique to preserve his appearance.
However, one of the experts with green eyes said in surprise, "Your bone age is only around 20 years old, how is that possible!"
With these words, the experts went from surprise to shock!
There were even a few people who stood up and stared at Leng Shiqi with burning eyes.
Even Feng Lun, who came in with Leng Shiqi, was the same. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Little friend Leng is actually so young!
The younger generation will surpass us in time, the younger generation will surpass us in time. "
The expert of the Shi Jue Wu turned his head and asked, "Old Qing, are you sure?"
Old Qing said disdainfully, "This old man's Divine Eyes of Azure Glass can see through everything. If I can't even see through a mere bone age, I'll just slit my own throat."
The others were silent. Although Old Qing's words were a bit exaggerated, his Divine Eyes of Azure Glass was indeed mysterious. It was not a problem to see through bone age.
If that was the case, then Leng Shiqi's identity was worth guessing.
Generally speaking, it was already very rare for a top sect to break through to the Spirit Pulse Realm in their early twenties. Leng Shiqi was good. He directly jumped three realms and was on the same level as them!
What kind of terrifying cultivation talent was this?
Not only was it cultivation talent, but everyone present had also experienced the process of breaking through to the Spirit Crystal Realm. They knew that the most important thing in breaking through to the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm was comprehension!
This also meant that the young man standing in front of them, whether it was cultivation talent or comprehension, was extremely high!
One had to know that most of the people present were in their seventies or eighties. Even Old Qing was over a hundred years old. Compared to him, they felt ashamed of their inferiority.
They were all humans, but why was there such a big difference?
Moreover, they were certain that even the Four Sacred Spirit Realm could not have such a monstrous genius. Therefore, these two words appeared in their minds.
The Yin and Yang Halls!
Could this young man be a disciple of the mysterious Yin and Yang Halls?
Leng Shiqi was the first to salute, "I am Leng Shiqi, a rogue cultivator from outside the sea. Greetings, everyone."
A rogue cultivator from outside the sea?
Hearing this, everyone was in disbelief. There were many spirit cultivator factions outside the sea, but the only ones that could truly be brought out were the one or two top factions from Falling Jade Island. It was impossible for such a monstrous genius to appear.
This was nothing more than an excuse.
However, it was not good for them to delve deeper. An imposing expert from the Mountain Sea Sect stood up and said, "So it's an expert from outside the sea. Mountain Sea Sect's Chang Feng Yu greets you."
The others also began to exchange pleasantries. They all thought that Leng Shiqi's background was extraordinary, and there were only benefits and no disadvantages to befriending him.
Moreover, they might soon become opponents, so it was not bad to take the opportunity to gather some information.
Leng Shiqi could not avoid it. This time, his character was set to be kind and humble, so he could not break it.
Soon, he gradually blended into the crowd, and at night, he even drank to his heart's content.
After that, he lived in the City Lord's Mansion. Half a month later, the auditions were finally about to begin!
On this day, Leng Shiqi and the other Unity of Heaven realm experts gathered again. The only difference was that the atmosphere was not as harmonious as before, because today was the day to announce their opponents for the first round!
After half a month, a few more Unity of Heaven realm cultivators had signed up. Now, there were 32 people.
In the end, only 10 of them would be able to go to the Imperial Capital, which meant 22 people would be eliminated.
Moreover, these were all famous figures, so losing would be shameful. Thus, whether their opponents in the first round were strong or weak had a lot to do with it!
Naturally, there were strong and weak people present. The strongest were undoubtedly Chang Feng Yu and the others from the Mountain Sea Sect, as well as the Tang family's patriarch Tang Haokuang and Sect Master Wu of the Ten Absolutes, Huang Shiyuan.
These people were basically locked in one of the 10 spots. The weakest was obviously someone like Tang Haoqing, who had just broken through. Anyone who met him could be considered lucky.
Feng Lun walked in and flicked his finger. Suddenly, 32 spirit lights of different colors shot out.
"Everyone is old acquaintances, so the rules of drawing lots are very simple. Those who draw the same color will be their opponents.
There are 32 people in total, so we need the second round to determine eight spots. As for the last two spots, they will be determined through the arena battles. "
The rules were indeed very simple. Everyone stared at the spirit lights in the air.
With a thought from Feng Lun, the spirit lights began to rapidly spin without any pattern.
After a few breaths, all the spirit lights scattered and landed in front of everyone.
Leng Shiqi had a faint yellow spirit light in front of him, and another spirit light of the same color was in front of Tang Haoqing!
