Zhi Bai!

This was a unique name that was almost unknown to the world, and he was a peerless figure who had been lying dormant in the Demon Suppressor Blood Well.

Know and observe all but stay obscure!

Filled with light yet walked in the darkness!

Zhi Bai’s appearance left many people looking baffled.

However, people like Ling Hongzhuang, Huangfu Shaonong, Zhuanxu Heng and others recognized him right away.

The next moment, they narrowed their eyes at the same time.

Both Zhi Bai and Yue Ruhuo were monster-like characters with incredibly terrifying backgrounds who were detached from worldly affairs.

To them, fame and fortune were fleeting and transient like clouds. They only had the great dao in their hearts!

“If I hadn’t come to this Dao Debate Assembly, I wouldn’t know that there are so many amazing people in this world...” Lin Xun couldn’t help but marvel to himself.

He sensed that, in addition to Ling Hongzhuang, Huangfu Shaonong, Zhi Bai, Yue Ruhuo and others, there were also other exceptionally powerful auras present.

Some were among the monsters from other worlds in the starry sky.

Some were among the camps of the Great Six Courts, Great Ten Battle Clans and other forces from the Central Plain State.

Lin Xun realized that in unknown and unnoticeable places were also characters that must not be underestimated!

Everyone waited a long time but there were still no signs of Mi Wuya.

However, no one would think that Mi Wuya would not come.

Clang—

A long and melodious bell rang, echoing endlessly as if it came from beyond the nine heavens, and muted every sound.

The mountain peak was called Mythical Huang, and it was the main peak of Mythical Huang Dao Court.

Lin Xun and other experts were assembled on a huge platform halfway up the mountain.

At this moment, as the chime of the bell resounded, figures suddenly emerged on the Mythical Huang Main Peak.

Every figure was seemingly far away and beyond reach, radiating a feeling of superiority and majesty as if they could only be looked up to.

But their auras were everywhere!

They were like gods sitting high in the sky and watching over the world!

The one leading the group was none other than the leader of Mythical Huang Dao Court, a mighty figure whose power was feared by the world.

Standing beside him were Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor of Primordial Dao Court, Emperor Fire Spirit of Heaven and Earth Dao Court, Great Emperor Yun Yan of Panwu Dao Court and the Flaming Sky Demon Emperor of All-Demon Dao Court! 𐍂

The five Emperors represented the supreme power of the five dao courts. Except for the mysterious Absolute Origin Dao Court, the influential figures of the Great Six Courts had all arrived.

Standing behind the five Emperors were Emperor-level experts sent by a number of terrifying factions, including the Great Ten Battle Clans and the imperial clans.

Ultimate Demon Sword Emperor Xia Xinglie was also among them.

From a rough estimate, at least twenty Emperors had descended upon the world like divine beings.

Gasps rang out in rapid succession. The spectacular scene stunned Lin Xun and other participants of the Dao Debate Assembly.

Emperors!

They were like supreme rulers of the world. Not only did they illuminate the heavens, but their power also induced fear in everyone.

In usual times, it was hard to catch a glimpse of them.

Now, a group of them had appeared together!

Such a scene had hardly ever happened before in the Great Primordial Chaos World in the past years.

This was enough to show the importance of the Dao Debate Assembly to the terrifying sects and clans in the world.

The atmosphere became quiet and solemn, and the whole world seemed to have been still.

Taishu Hong, the leader of Mythical Huang Dao Court, calmly spoke out, “The Dao Debate Assembly has great significance that I don’t think I need to elaborate on. You all just need to remember that we Emperors are in charge of the event and we will not tolerate anyone violating the rules.”

His voice boomed out like the sound of the great dao, echoing in every cultivators’ hearts.

“There are a total of one thousand eight hundred and forty-nine experts participating in this Dao Debate Assembly—four hundred and eighty people from other states, eight hundred and sixteen from the Central Plain State, and five hundred and fifty three from other worlds in the starry sky...

“After this, you all will enter the Mythical Huang Secret Realm to compete.”

As Taishu Hong spoke, he flicked his sleeve.

Boom!

A tremendous vortex portal suddenly emerged overhead, spewing a hazy, primitive aura.

“Beyond the portal is the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, the best-preserved uncharted land in Qingmang Sacred Mountain.

“Before you all enter the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, each of you will be given a life talisman. Once inside, your goal is to fight and seize other people’s life talismans.

“Remember, the more life talismans you obtain, the higher your score will be!

“Even if your life talisman has been taken away, your life will not be at risk because you will be teleported out of the Mythical Huang Secret Realm right away before you are killed.”

Upon hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they did not have to worry about unexpected death, they had nothing to be afraid of in the competition.

“That makes sense. All the participants of the Dao Debate Assembly are brilliant figures of the world. They can’t allow death to happen. Otherwise...once the event comes to an end, the loss could be terrible.” Lin Xun thought to himself.

“There is no time limit in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm. The selection will end when there are only a hundred and eight left.” Taishu Hong’s voice continued to echo.

One hundred and eight people!

Lin Xun and other experts all shuddered. They had a feeling that carnage was bound to happen in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm.

It was too crazy!

After all, a total of one thousand eight hundred and forty-nine people were participating in the Dao Debate Assembly, but only one hundred and eight people were able to pass the Mythical Huang Secret Realm selection. This competition...how brutal was it?

“Remember, in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, you are not allowed to bring out Emperor treasures and weapons, activate forbidden secret techniques, or use any external powers!”

“Every move you make will be watched by me and other fellow Emperor experts. Anyone who breaks the rules will be eradicated!”

Eradicated!

That one word made many people go stiff and their expressions dramatically changed. Under the watchful eyes of a group of Emperors, who would dare to violate the rules?

At this moment, Lin Xun finally understood why Lu Dubu had taken the initiative to propose forming an alliance with him on their way here.

It was obvious that Lu Dubu had insider information about the Dao Debate Assembly and so he started making preparations early on.

In a similar way, the one thousand and eight hundred dazzling figures present likely had also already formed alliances in secret!

At this moment, Lin Xin finally felt the pressure.

He was not afraid of anyone, but if he was targeted by a group of people, he could be put into a serious and grave situation.

“After the Mythical Huang Secret Realm selection is over, the one hundred and eight people who passed will be qualified to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

“I believe you all know very well what it means to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.”

The participants were stirred up again.

Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone!

As one of the Eight Forbidden Zones of the Primordial Chaos World, it was rumored to contain a mysterious chaos treasure, a supreme treasure that was as amazing as the Mythical Huang Dao Stele.

Whoever got their hands on it would have the foundation to open up a dao court!

This was the real reason as to why the Dao Debate Assembly had attracted worldwide attention.

If not for this, there wouldn’t be so many Emperor experts gathered at the Dao Debate Assembly!

“Now, you all can get ready.”

As Taishu Hong’s voice faded, the vortex portal above the huge platform rippled.

The one thousand eight hundred and forty-nine participants standing on the platform including Lin Xun were suddenly wrapped in a layer of obscure power and sped through the vortex portal.

In just a few breaths, the platform was left empty and all participants disappeared.

In the end, no one noticed whether Mi Wuya, who had dominated the top of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings for six hundred years, had come or not.

If he did come, then where was he?

……

In an ancient hall built from divine iron on the summit of Mythical Huang Main Peak.

Taishu Hong smiled and said aloud, “Fellow Daoists, the Mythical Huang Secret Realm is a well-preserved uncharted land. It has some similarities with the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. Having the selection contest there will be of great benefit to the youngsters.”

The other Emperors nodded.

Buzz!

Taishu Hong raised his hand and pointed. Suddenly, in the distant void, the outline of a tremendous world emerged, slowly unfolding in midair like a scroll.

All the Emperors looked over.

Reflected within the scroll was the scene in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm. It was indeed a mysterious world with an ancient and primitive atmosphere.

Those in the outside world could see clearly the landscape and scenery of this world, as well as the one thousand and eight hundred-odd participants teleported inside.

“It’s no surprise that this selection will probably go on for quite a while. We can take this opportunity to sit down and discuss and exchange our thoughts.”

As Taishu Hong spoke, he gave the orders to set up tables and cushions on the summit of the mountain, and invited the Emperors to take seats one by one.

“Speaking of which, Brother Taishu, do you happen to know what exactly is the chaos treasure born in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone?” someone asked aloud.

“I can’t say.” Taishu Hong sighed, “The Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone is a dangerous land that not even Emperors dare to step beyond the boundaries, so the treasures there must be extraordinary.”

“I heard that the treasure born in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone is a mysterious gourd filled with chaos qi?”

“Gourd? I don’t think so. I heard it was a jet-black vase.”

“Isn’t it an ancient vine that stretched across the sky?”

……

While the Emperors were discussing enthusiastically, they did not forget to keep an eye on the Mythical Huang Secret Realm. No one dared to be careless.

“Father, did you not say that Brother Lin Xun would be participating? Where is he?”

Xia Xiaochong was sitting next to Xia Xinglie, her big, clear eyes scanning the painting-like projection of the secret realm world.

Wisps of unfathomable power obscured her and Xia Xinglie.

This was the doing of Xia Xinglie. He did not want their conversation to be overheard by other Emperors present.

Xia Xinglie smiled and gave an irrelevant answer. “Xiaochong, you just saw many splendid and brilliant people. Was there anyone who caught your eye? Just tell me, your father will be your adviser.”

Xia Xiaochong suddenly lost her temper.
