Battle Platform of the Divine Palace
After returning to the bamboo grove, Qin Hao continued to refine pills and take care of Xiao Han as usual.
Under his meticulous care, Xiao Han gradually recovered.
Occasionally, Qin Hao would take some time to train Tsiogua.
He didn't take Mo Xian's matter to heart, but he was curious about the "surprise" that Granny Ying mentioned.
If he guessed correctly, Qin Hao believed that the "surprise" should be related to the signs of the Divine Palace.
During this period, the Southern Region was in a state of turmoil and chaos.
As experts from various clans came in batches, the various countries in the Southern Region also had conflicts. However, most of the fights stopped as they were under the control of the Three Sovereigns and Four Sects.
The Three Sovereigns and Four Sects behaved normally. The opening of the Divine Palace was the grandest event on the continent. They were also secretly preparing and selecting suitable people to participate.
On the other hand, the people of the Southern Region were a little uncomfortable. There were too many strangers, and they were all terrifying people. They had never seen such a scene before, so they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Not to mention at night, very few people went out during the day.
The lifespan of mortals was only a few decades. They were considered old if they lived to seventy. No one had experienced the opening of the Divine Palace last time, so it was reasonable that the people were timid.
However, even they could vaguely feel that something big was about to happen in the Southern Region.
As the days drew closer, Qin Hao could feel the tension in the outside world even through the bamboo courtyard.
In the past few days, he couldn't stand Zheng Qingchi's pestering, so he took Tsiogua out to visit Zong Jian, Arhat Palace, and Ningwu to deepen their relationship.
Of course, no matter where they went, Qin Hao was warmly received by the higher-ups. They didn't dare to neglect Qin Hao for the sake of solving the Saint Soul Pill.
Not only the elders of the various sects, but even the Sword Emperor of the Southern Region and the Luo Emperor, who had reached the Emperor Realm physically, personally came out to welcome him.
At the banquet, they were full of praise for Qin Hao and called him "Nephew" very affectionately. They were only short of appointing Qin Hao as an honorary elder in the Sect, which made others envious.
Qin Hao's relationship with Shou Wuque and Luo Yuliang had indeed deepened. They had also exchanged some martial arts with each other, and had benefited a lot from it.
As for Ning Wu, after Qin Hao arrived, Ning Chaofan led a group of people to receive him.
When the disciple saw his Master, of course, was more respectful and enthusiastic.
The strange was that Prince Ning did Prince. Prince Prince Ning Tianxing did not show up.
According to Ning Chaofan, he hadn't seen Ning Tianxing in person for a long time. Ever since a group of strange people from the East Continent came to Ningwu, Ning Tianxing had never come out.
Qin Hao didn't ask much about this. The situation was very dangerous, so it was normal to make friends with more experts. After chatting with Ning Chaofan, Qin Hao returned to the Zheng Dynasty.
For this trip, the Sword Sect and Arhat Palace's attitude was very clear. If they encountered any trouble, the two sects would join forces with the Zheng Dynasty.
This wasn't because they were deliberately showing goodwill to Qin Hao, but because they were forced by the situation.
After the bloody battle in Zhifeng City, the Southern Proud Xuanyuan Clan, the Herbal Medicine Hall, and the Spiritual Beast Sect had already colluded and became grasshoppers on the same rope. The three sects had joined forces and their disciples' abilities complemented each other. They definitely wouldn't cooperate with the Sword Sect.
The Blazing Sun Temple and the Northern Proud Li Clan had recently roped in many experts from the outside world. They were extremely arrogant and had always refused to submit to the Sword Sect and Arhat Palace, so they wouldn't lower themselves to visit.
Qin Hao was surrounded by Zheng Dynasty's experts and had the support of the Night Luo Palace. His own abilities were also very strong. His alchemy skills, swordsmanship, physical strength, and so on were all aspects that the Sword Sect and Arhat Palace needed. He was the best partner to join forces with.
As for Ning Wu, Qin Hao intended to join forces with Ning Tianxing so that they could take care of each other.
But that day, Ning Chaofan couldn't make a decision. The elders of the Ning family were also hesitant to speak. Obviously, they were avoiding something. Perhaps they didn't even have the intention to join forces with Qin Hao.
Qin Hao didn't force them.
Ning Wu's own strength was unfathomable. What was Ning Tianxing's cultivation? Qin Hao had never seen him fight. He guessed that he was no weaker than Changhe Lo.
Ning Tianxing was Ning Wu's only prince. All the geniuses in the clan would certainly follow his lead. They would risk their lives to ensure that Ning Tianxing could become a disciple of the Divine Palace at all costs.
If Qin Hao came, who would he listen to?
If he was in danger, would he have to divide a group of people to take care of Dan Ge's people?
Qin Hao could understand this. A mountain couldn't have two tigers, so splitting up was a good choice.
Divine Wilderness Calendar, Year 9682, early winter.
Three days before the opening of the Divine Palace.
A seven-colored light rose into the sky from the Narcissus Valley to the east of Feng City. At that moment, a bird's cry filled the sky. The people of Feng City saw from afar that a divine peacock had appeared in the void. The people of the city knelt down to worship it, saying that it was an auspicious omen.
On this day, Que 'er broke through to the Huang Plane!
Two days before the opening of the Divine Palace, in the same direction, in the Narcissus Valley, a fire beast roared and shook the world. The dog spirit swallowed three beast fruits, received the inheritance of the Beast Emperor, and broke through to the Huang Plane.
On the first day of the opening of the Divine Palace, at dawn, the entire Southern Region fell into a terrible tremor. It was as if the end of the world had come, and all the countries were in a panic.
Fortunately, the earthquake didn't last long. After dawn, in the center of the capital cities of all the small affiliated kingdoms, duchies, and empires, as well as the rich and famous big cities of the various kingdoms, there was a ten zhang tall platform that looked mighty and majestic.
Beside the high platform, there was a tablet inscribed with the most dazzling words, "Battle Platform".
As a result, the Divine Palace was fully opened.
"What happened?"
In the Zheng Clan's palace, Zheng Qingchi hurriedly put on a blue robe. He pushed open the door and saw that the palace was in chaos.
"Your Highness, a high platform appeared in the city. It's called the Battle Platform. It's very strange. The earthquake may have been caused by it." A guard rushed over and knelt down to report.
"The Battle Platform."
Zheng Qingchi muttered to himself. According to the family's secret records, this was the platform where the South Pole Divine Palace selected candidates.
The day had finally arrived.
"Immediately invite Pavilion Master Qin to the Battle Platform," Zheng Qingchi shouted. He spread his wings and flew into the sky, landing in the center of the city.
When he arrived, he found that there were thousands of people in the city. There were also elite Zheng soldiers, holding long spears, standing around the ancient platform. They didn't allow outsiders to approach.
"Qing Lao." Zheng Qingchi saw Duanmu Qinghui in the crowd and walked over.
"Your Highness Qingchi."
Duanmu Qinghui bowed and pointed to the ancient platform behind him. "I have inspected it. It is indeed the Battle Platform for the Divine Palace."
The Battle Platform was a one-versus-one battle.
If one wanted to become a disciple of the Divine Palace, this was the first test.
Only by passing this test could a warrior be qualified to participate in the selection and step on the road to becoming a god. At the end of the road was the South Pole Divine Palace, the holy land of countless Emperor level warriors.
"Everyone, disperse!" Zheng Qingchi shouted loudly.
Since it was the Battle Platform of the Divine Palace, how could the Zheng Clan control it?
This was a place for warriors to show themselves.
"Your Highness, do we need to announce it?" Qing Lao asked.
In fact, even if he didn't announce it, once enough time passed, people from the ancient families would know it was the Battle Platform.
Zheng Qingchi shook his head and looked around anxiously. He found that Qin Hao hadn't arrived yet. "Let's wait for Brother Qin Hao first."
