Chapter 2057: Chapter 2012: The Elegant Hall
After the Celestial Crane’s explanation, Chen Yang, Ao Min, and He Xinran understood more clearly about the timing and procedure of the Sacred Dragon Conference.
It turns out the theme of the Sacred Dragon Conference is to provide a harmonious exchange environment for cultivators worldwide.
During the conference, powerful individuals from various regions and factions will gather at the Dragon God Sect.
They exchange insights and share much information.
It’s an extraordinary event.
Aside from that, there’s also a chance to select strong cultivators eligible to enter the Divine Dragon Pool through power competitions, which is a rare opportunity.
"Actually, although the theme of our Divine Dragon Assembly is the meeting of worldly heroes, what truly attracts people is our Divine Dragon Trial."
"It is a genuine opportunity. If your cultivation has reached the Spirit Gathering Realm, you must give it a try; who knows, you might pass successfully."
The Celestial Crane spoke enthusiastically.
Curious, Chen Yang asked, after the crane mentioned so many things.
"Do you know the specific requirements of the Divine Dragon Trial? Tell me in detail."
"Of course I know that," the Celestial Crane nodded and began to explain, "The Divine Dragon Trial requires participants to have reached the Gathering Spirit Realm."
"Registration is unlimited; anyone who has reached the Spirit Gathering Realm can participate."
"All participants will be divided into many groups for one-on-one battles."
"No matter the combat system or Cultivation Technique involved, defeating the opponent counts as a victory!"
"And only fifteen participants will be selected in the end."
"That means only fifteen Spirit Gathering experts can go to the Divine Dragon Pool, our sacred land."
The Celestial Crane explained the general rules in detail.
After listening, Chen Yang understood the general procedure.
He was just a bit puzzled as to why only experts at the Spirit Gathering Realm could participate in the Divine Dragon Trial.
Considering the scarcity of Spiritual Energy today, reaching the profound strength stage is already considered strong.
Qi Cultivation is extremely rare.
Let alone Spirit Gathering experts.
So far, aside from his own people, Chen Yang has only seen four or five Spirit Gathering experts.
The Divine Dragon Trial only allows Spirit Gathering experts to participate; the requirements are too strict.
How many people could join?
"Do you know how many people usually participate in the Divine Dragon Trial?" Chen Yang asked curiously.
After thinking for a moment, the Celestial Crane replied, "When there are many people, over a thousand; when there are fewer, only about a hundred."
"This year, I think it’s a moderate situation, with at least two or three hundred people participating."
Two or three hundred people?
Chen Yang was somewhat surprised.
Are there so many Spirit Gathering experts in the cultivation world?
Or is the Divine Dragon Pool tempting enough for all Spirit Gathering experts, even drawing out some reclusive elder creatures to compete?
"That’s quite a lot of people," Chen Yang nodded and agreed.
"Of course, the fortunes of our Divine Dragon Pool are unparalleled; naturally, the world’s cultivators cherish this rare opportunity," the Celestial Crane said proudly.
Chen Yang’s curiosity was mostly satisfied, so he had no more questions.
Unexpectedly, the Celestial Crane seemed increasingly enthusiastic, leaning like a thief close to Chen Yang’s ear and whispering, "Friend, since you’re so interested in the Divine Dragon Trial, do you want to take a look inside our Divine Dragon Mountain’s elegant hall?"
"Elegant hall? What’s that for?" Chen Yang looked at the Celestial Crane curiously.
The Celestial Crane smiled mysteriously and said, "The elegant hall has specially arranged stakes... You can choose some strong contenders you favor, and if they truly win and enter the Divine Dragon Pool, then you’ve won and will receive rich rewards."
Ha.
The Celestial Crane spoke earnestly, very mysteriously.
But upon closer listen, isn’t this just gambling?
Such elegance.
The disciples of Divine Dragon Mountain really live up to their name.
"Isn’t this just gambling?" Ao Min blurted out bluntly.
"Hey, friend, that’s not the right way to put it," the Celestial Crane immediately gave Ao Min a glance.
Ao Min laughed and then became interested, "There’s still some time before the Divine Dragon Trial begins, right?"
"Yes, there are still half a day left; if you wish to have some fun, now’s the time," the Celestial Crane said.
"Chen Yang, want to go check it out?" Ao Min openly asked with a laugh and then whispered close to Chen Yang’s ear, "Chen Yang, we’re definitely participating in the Divine Dragon Trial."
"We must check it out; the information from the betting halls is always the most accurate. We need to learn about the contenders ahead of time."
Chen Yang initially didn’t want to waste time at a place like that, but hearing Ao Min say that, he thought it made sense.
The betting halls’ information is definitely well-informed.
Knowing what kind of experts are joining the Divine Dragon Trial is essential, and the betting hall would know all about it, approaching it is necessary.
"Sure, let’s go see," Chen Yang nodded and agreed.
"Have you all decided, friends? Great, then let’s head over immediately," the Celestial Crane said, visibly more excited after everyone agreed.
It then turned around and lead Chen Yang toward another large building.
After walking for over ten minutes, they reached the so-called elegant hall.
Divine Dragon Mountain was bustling.
But this "elegant hall" was exceptionally lively.
Hundreds of cultivators were coming and going.
The interior was crowded around numerous lists and rankings.
"Wow, it’s so lively! It’s almost as bustling as the main event at the peak," Ao Min was taken aback, face full of amazement.
Chen Yang smiled, finding it rather normal.
Cultivators are human too, not escaping certain innate desires.
Also, many cultivators rarely have the chance for social interactions, so they’re naturally interested in such events.
"Have you spotted any promising powerful beings? If you have, I’ll take you to their betting stands directly," the Celestial Crane looked inside, then turned around to ask Chen Yang.
Chen Yang and the others were not knowledgeable about the cultivation world, so they had no promising contenders in mind.
"No. Can you recommend some stronger ones?" Chen Yang shook his head and asked.
Seeing that they had no leads, the Celestial Crane immediately started introducing them to Chen Yang.
"Friend, you’re asking the right person; indeed, I have some formidable candidates to recommend."
"Come, let me lead you inside first," the Celestial Crane, excited, led Chen Yang into the elegant hall.
Inside the elegant hall was an incredibly spacious large hall.
On the walls of the hall, some individuals’ photos were hanging.
Obviously, the ones hanging on the wall were participants of this year’s Divine Dragon Trial.
Their photos were placed here for bettors to select.
Even if unfamiliar, it doesn’t matter because beneath the photos is a detailed analysis of strength, very professional.
"Friend, I won’t introduce the others to you; I’ll just introduce some of the mighty ones," the Celestial Crane said while scanning the photos on the walls.
