Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 467 Soul Purification Stone

With Kan Wushuang's departure.

The once lively scene suddenly seemed to have lost its soul.

The onlookers found it extremely boring and began to disperse.

However, their curiosity and gossip-loving spirit did not die out and continued to burn brightly.

They continued to discuss the events that had occurred along the way, with the question of who won and who lost becoming their constant topic of conversation.

Most neutral monks guessed that the fierce battle would end in a draw.

After all, the earth-shattering power of their fight made it difficult for them to determine who was superior.

At this moment, Su Yaoyue quietly approached Li Qingyuan, her lips parted slightly, and her voice was as clear and melodious as a silver bell:

"Junior Uncle, in my opinion, Lu Wuwei has won, hasn't he?"

"Ok?"

Li Qingyuan was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before she asked:

"You see it too?"

"Ah."

Su Yaoyue nodded gently, her eyes sparkling with a bright light, and said:

"Since my cultivation level improved, my sensitivity to the elements of heaven and earth has become increasingly acute."

"During their exchange just now, I could roughly sense some fluctuations in their profound energy and changes in their auras..."

Li Qingyuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed sincerely, "Amazing!"

It should be noted that he was able to perceive it only because of his strong soul.

But Su Yaoyue can judge based on the elements of heaven and earth, which is rather terrifying...

After a moment of contemplation, Li Qingyuan slowly said:

"Lu Wuwei did indeed demonstrate greater strength in the exchange just now..."

"But you should know that this is not a life-or-death battle."

"Kan Wushuang probably has many more powerful tricks up his sleeve, he shouldn't be underestimated..."

Su Yaoyue nodded slightly in agreement.

The group strolled around the bustling streets for a while, enjoying the unique charm of this vibrant metropolis.

Afterwards, they returned to the restaurant and went to their rooms to rest and recuperate in preparation for the next day's Grand Prix.

......

Silent all night.

Time quietly flowed by until the next morning.

Tianji City seemed to awaken suddenly from its slumber, filled with noise early in the morning.

Inside the city, cultivators moved back and forth like a tide, a vast and endless stream.

They gathered in small groups, exchanging their insights on spiritual practice and sharing anecdotes, their laughter echoing in the air.

They might huddle together, whispering the latest news they've heard, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement;

Others lingered at the various stalls, carefully selecting protective items or extremely sharp weapons.

After all, in this world full of unknowns and challenges, you can never have too many magical treasures.

However, today is an extremely important day.

The prices of all kinds of items have skyrocketed, increasing several times over, becoming shockingly expensive.

Even so, many cultivators still generously donated money without hesitation.

In their view, saving their lives is the most important thing.

Money is just an external thing; you can earn it back if you lose it.

But if you lose your life, then everything will be over.

Li Qingyuan stood quietly at the window of the room, her eyes sharp as she surveyed the bustling scene before her.

His heart was pounding with excitement, which he could hardly contain.

Such a grand event, witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people...

In the end, only three hundred people were able to successfully make it onto the Hall of Fame!

The intensity and excitement of the competition thrilled him.

Today, Li Qingyuan specially changed into a blue robe.

His blue robe fluttered gently in the wind, making him look even more handsome and dashing.

His upright figure exudes an otherworldly air, like a fairy who has stepped out of a painting.

At this moment.

Su Yaoyue's clear and melodious voice came from outside the room:

"Junior Uncle, let's go."

"coming."

Li Qingyuan responded and then strode out of the room.

Then, the group of five walked out of the restaurant and merged into the surging crowd, slowly heading towards the center of the city.

That's right, the news was already released by Tianji Pavilion yesterday.

The first stage of today's Heavenly Pride Assembly—testing one's physical constitution, age, and innate talent—will be held at the Rising Dragon Platform in the city.

Three hundred "Soul Cleansing Stones" will be used for verification at that time.

This Soul-Purifying Stone, as its name suggests, has extraordinary and miraculous effects.

It seems to possess a magical power to penetrate the fog and see through the essence of a person's soul.

It can clearly distinguish whether a person is a teenager, a middle-aged person, or an old man.

The souls of teenagers are pure and vibrant, full of life and energy;

The soul of a middle-aged person carries a greater sense of composure and experience.

As for the old man's soul, it was even more profound and ancient, like an ancient well that had been settled over the years, calm yet containing endless secrets.

Moreover, it is said that this stone has many other miraculous effects.

For example, if someone's soul is corrupted by something unclean;

This Soul-Purifying Stone can release pure power, purifying the filth and restoring the soul to its pure state.

......

Before long, Li Qingyuan and his party arrived at the center of the city.

At this moment, the place was already teeming with people, and cultivators from all over the world were everywhere.

They were waving their arms excitedly or blushing with excitement, noisily discussing the matter.

Some cultivators shouted at the top of their lungs:

"This Soul Purification Stone examines one's innate talent, but who knows what unexpected situations might arise? If it turns out that one's innate talent is poor, that would be incredibly embarrassing!"

Another monk curled his lip in disdain and retorted:

"What's there to be afraid of? Talent is only one aspect. The path of cultivation is long. Even if your talent is average, as long as you are willing to work hard, you may still achieve great things!"

Another monk said with a hopeful expression:

"I've heard that the Soul-Purifying Stone can cleanse the soul of impurities."

"My soul was recently tainted by something unclean, but now it might be saved..."

For a while, various discussions arose one after another.

In the center of this giant city, three hundred dragon-raising platforms stand tall and majestic.

Each of the Dragon Ascension Platforms is over ten zhang high and over a hundred zhang wide.

The dragon patterns on the platform are so lifelike that they seem ready to burst through the wall at any moment, soar into the sky, and transform into a real dragon soaring through the heavens.

At this moment, each of the three hundred Dragon Ascension Platforms has a strange, completely black stone on it.

This strange rock may look ordinary, but it possesses a mysterious and unpredictable power.

It seems to be able to penetrate the barrier of stone, allowing people to see the scene behind the stone.

It appears almost transparent.

But that deep black also exudes an indescribable strangeness, making people feel awe.
