The Carefree Mansion encompassed twelve cities.
Carefree Duke was one of the twenty-seven generals under the Demon Devouring Clan Leader.
As the core of the Carefree Mansion, Carefree City was majestic. The Demon Devouring Clan could be seen everywhere in the city.
Moreover, Fang Chen could clearly feel that the Demon Devouring Bloodline in these Demon Devouring Clan members was much stronger than the Demon Devouring Clan in the Thousand Autumns City.
Standing on the street, Su Mo looked around.
Fang Chen sighed.
The Origin World was indeed a holy land for cultivation. The Origin Energy was abundant, and the Heavenly Way operated perfectly. Martial artists could comprehend the Origin of the Five Elements.
Compared to the Chaotic Realm, this was heaven on earth.
Unfortunately, this was the Demon Devouring Clan's lair.
There were many enslaved humans on the street.
These were some of the experts from the Chaotic Realm.
They had entered the Chaotic Battlefield and disappeared.
Su Mo did not expect to be captured and enslaved here.
There was a courtyard in the northwest of Carefree City.
Fang Chen was arranged to stay here. A human servant was serving him.
"Master, please have some tea."
He could feel that the hands of the human servant were trembling. He was afraid that Fang Chen would be unhappy and kill him.
"You are not from the Demon Devouring Clan?"
Fang Chen asked deliberately.
To be safe, his identity could not be exposed.
"We are living beings from the Chaotic Realm. We were captured and enslaved by the Demon Devouring Clan."
The human servant told Fang Chen about his experience.
After hearing this, Su Mo took out a healing elixir and threw it to the servant.
"Ah?"
The sudden appearance of the elixir made the human servants feel a little surprised.
He looked at Fang Chen in shock.
"For you."
"Thank you, Master."
The human servant kept thanking him.
After the servant left, Fang Chen looked at the sky with deep eyes.
The burden on his shoulders was so heavy that it made it hard for him to breathe.
However, the more it was like this, the more he wanted to save the world.
If the Demon Devouring Clan Leader's plan succeeded, the world would be completely dead.
The Chaotic Realm would also become history.
After understanding the evil of the Demon Devouring Clan, Fang Chen hated them to the core.
"One day, I'll flatten the Origin World."
Fang Chen said to himself.
For the next few days, Fang Chen had been cultivating in seclusion.
A few days later, his cultivation level rose to the level of a Second Level Holy King.
Relying on the powerful cultivation memories of his previous life, his cultivation had no bottlenecks at all.
Moreover, with the help of the cultivation environment in the Chaos Realm, he was able to comprehend the origin again.
Not long after, he comprehended his first Origin.
The origin of fire.
This was also the first Origin that he had comprehended in his previous life.
Weng!
Fang Chen flicked his finger, and flames erupted from his fingertip, condensing into a fire dragon in the air.
The fire dragon opened its bloody mouth and roared, its aura shaking the heavens.
"As expected."
The Quintessence comprehended in the Origin World was much more profound and powerful than in the Primal Chaos Realm.
Thud thud thud!
Someone knocked on the door. With a thought, Fang Chen restrained his aura.
The emissary arrived.
"Lin Chen."
The emissary smiled.
"I've reported your situation. The Marquis is very happy and will meet you personally soon," the emissary said.
"However, before that, the first place in the selection of the twelve cities will have to undergo a screening."
"Oh?"
Fang Chen listened attentively.
It turned out that.
In addition to the selection in Qianqiu City, the other eleven cities also had selections.
The first place in each city's selection would be the focus of the Xiaoyao Mansion.
However, before meeting the Xiaoyao Mansion, the twelve of them would have to compete with each other to determine the first place in the selection.
The Xiaoyao Mansion would reward them handsomely.
"You have to seize this opportunity. Don't dream about the first place, but the top three is still possible."
He was the one who brought Fang Chen back. The higher the ranking, the more benefits he would receive.
Therefore, he analyzed the first place in the selection of the other eleven cities for Fang Chen.
At the same time, he told him the secret techniques they cultivated, the Origin they comprehended, the weapons they used, and other detailed information.
Moreover, he also set a goal for Fang Chen.
That was the top three.
The twelve people would fight in pairs. As long as he won two matches, he would be able to enter the top three.
Of course, those who could become the first place in the selection naturally had extraordinary means.
It was not easy to win.
Moreover, among the twelve people, Fang Chen's cultivation was the lowest.
"You don't have to be disappointed. With your cultivation, if you can enter the top three, the Xiaoyao Mansion will reward you handsomely."
The emissary comforted him.
In fact, even if Fang Chen couldn't enter the top three.
The Xiaoyao Mansion would also meet him.
Moreover, the Xiaoyao Mansion placed great importance on the first place in the selection of Qianqiu City.
After all, there was a phenomenon in the sky and nine years of snow.
This was a very strange thing.
"When does it start?"
Fang Chen asked.
"It starts in the afternoon," the emissary said. "I'll take you there now."
Along the way, the emissary kept reminding Fang Chen.
If he faced Xiao He or Jing Fei, he would admit defeat directly.
Of these two people, one was the first place in the selection of Carefree City and was also the descendant of the Xiaoyao Mansion.
He had endless cultivation resources since he was young.
As for Jing Fei, he was the first place in the selection of Flying Cloud City.
His strength was second only to Xiao He.
These two people were also the most popular among the twelve people in this competition.
After a while, Fang Chen and the emissary arrived at the square.
It was already crowded here. Many people were the top 20 of the selection of the major cities.
However, they were not the first place. Therefore, after coming to Carefree City, they were not valued at all.
"Humph, we are also in the top 20 of the selection. Why do we favor the first place so much?"
"That's right. Compared to us, they're only slightly stronger. They're truly lucky."
"The rules of the Carefree Mansion have always been like this."
Many people were filled with helplessness.
They racked their brains to enter the top 20 of the selection.
However, after coming to the Carefree Mansion, they realized that the top 20 of the selection was not important.
What was really valued was the first place in the selection.
"As long as we are given the same resources, we will not be worse than them."
As they spoke, the first place in the selection of the twelve cities had already arrived at the center of the square.
There was an arena here.
A white-haired butler was in charge of this competition.
"The twelve of you should know the purpose of this competition," the butler said.
"Now, we will begin to draw lots. You will fight in pairs. After the first round, six people will be eliminated."
The six people who were eliminated will be sent to the military camp to hone themselves.
"After the second round, the three people who are eliminated will be given the position of general."
As soon as this was said, the square was filled with exclamations.
In the military camp, a general was already a very high position, second only to the commander-in-chief.
They did not expect that the three people who were eliminated in the second round would be given the position of general.
However, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation. What were the rewards for the top three?
"The third place will be given the position of deputy commander-in-chief."
"The second place will be given the position of commander-in-chief."
"The first place …"
The butler paused for a moment. The square was instantly silent.
Even Fang Chen was a little curious.
