Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 792 - 794 Opening, Testing
Chapter 792 -794 Opening, Testing
The streetlights stretched on for kilometres.
Only those with Earth-Rank cultivation or above could see the faint end of it.
Xia Liu, possessed of Wisdom Eyes, saw everything even more clearly than all the other martial artists.
But something was odd; he stared at the end for a long time, yet he didn’t discover any venue.
Could it be that there was another barrier outside the venue where the Martial World Society was being held?
Xia Liu couldn’t figure it out, and at such a time, he felt no need to ask Qingzi.
Twenty minutes later, Xia Liu and his companions finally approached the venue.
To their surprise,
the venue for the Martial World Society turned out to be underground!
No, that’s not right!
It should be said it was in a low-lying area.
No wonder Xia Liu couldn’t see the venue with the naked eye.
It was damn well built in a pit at least a hundred meters deep.
Standing on flat ground,
one could tell it was exceedingly huge.
Building a venue of such a grand scale must have cost a hefty sum of money.
Below, there were rows upon rows of seats.
These seats surrounded the brightly lit central area.
One had to walk down dozens of steps to reach the seated area.
Xia Liu briefly surveyed the situation and estimated there were about a thousand people present.
If one invitation allowed six people, then the event attracted over a hundred clans or sects.
Xia Liu wasn’t surprised at all that the Western Province had so many sects and clans.
Instead, he felt a twinge of regret for the once flourishing Cultivator Era, and now in the Warrior Era, where thousands of clans and sects used to stand tall across the realm.
Now there were only about a hundred sects and clans in the Western Province, and probably not many more in other areas.
The decline of the Warrior Realm to this state was something that couldn’t be helped but was nevertheless sorrowful.
Moreover, the number of clans or sects that met the criteria to participate in the competition was probably pitifully small.
Not even one in ten might have.
Although many people had arrived at the venue, there were still many spots available around the dueling platform.
Xia Liu and others easily made their way to positions close to the platform.
Similar to the Duel Stage at the Yanjing Heavenly Mansion Headquarter, there were no positions around the platform; it was surrounded by high walls. However, due to sensible design, everyone on the viewing platform could clearly see every corner of the stage.
Beneath them, there were four stages, one of which was exceptionally large, while the other three were less conspicuous.
These smaller platforms were presumably prepared for Yellow-Rank, Mysterious-Rank, and Earth-Rank participants.
The vast area was evidently the battlefield for Heaven-Rank warriors.
Near the largest platform, on one of the viewing platforms, several serious Taishi Chairs were lined up.
Clearly, the warriors who could sit there were of unique status.
The scene was quite lively at the moment, with each team sizing up the other teams around them.
Amidst the noise, everyone waited for the Martial World Society to begin.
“Cough cough, everyone please quiet down.”

After some buzzing noise, a somewhat authoritative voice pierced through the noise.
A middle-aged man could be seen slowly walking towards the hugely illuminated platform from the stairs.
An aura continuously spread out from him.
A Peak Earth-Rank Martial Artist!
“Thank you all for supporting the Martial World Society. I am Ye Ku, representing the Boyun Ye Family branch as well as the Heavenly Mansion Branch Hall, and I welcome everyone here,” he said.
Clap clap clap clap…
As Ye Ku bowed, the whole venue erupted into warm applause.
Ye Ku raised his hands, signaling the crowd to be quiet.
He continued, “First of all, please welcome the judges of the Martial World Society, from the Ye Family: Senior Ye Hu, Senior Ye Meng!”
As Ye Ku’s voice fell, several strong beams of light from above the area shone down on Ye Hu and Ye Meng.
The two of them slowly descended from the staircase.
The final two seats among those six Taishi Chairs were taken.
“Half-Step into the Dao Martial Artist.”
Xia Liu opened his eyes, and casually glanced at the two people a hundred meters away from him.
“Is that surging special fluctuation the symbol of entering the Dao?”
Lin Xiaotian was somewhat surprised.
If he were to face these two without using any Spirit Art,
he wouldn’t be able to defeat them.
That was both intuition and fact.
A Qi Cultivation fifth layer cultivator, using Martial Arts Skill, couldn’t defeat a Half-Step into the Dao Martial Artist.
“That is the Inner Origin Aura of a Path-Entering Martial Artist, it’s just a pity that these two are still very far from actually entering the Dao.”
Xia Liu nodded and then evaluated the two.
In the team near Xia Liu,
hearing such an assessment from him, everyone’s face was filled with embarrassment.
Internally, they were extremely nervous.
A twenty-something-year-old demeaning two elders who surpassed the Heavenly Rank, was either a fool or seeking death.
Qingzi, however, stared at Xia Liu secretly for a long time.
She had a feeling that what Xia Liu said was all true.
Maybe the Osmanthus Sect really could surprise everyone and take this Martial World Society’s championship.
“Next, please welcome the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Heavenly Mansion Branch Hall, Elder Peng Zheng, Elder Peng Hai!”
Amidst the applause, two aged figures took their seats on the Taishi Chairs, their cultivation was the same as the two from the Ye Family, Half-Step into the Dao.
Half-Step into the Dao, plainly put, was just the peak of the Heavenly Rank.
Still quite distant from being a Path-Entering Martial Artist.
However, they could easily defeat Martial Artists who had just advanced to the peak of the Heavenly Rank.
Therefore, in the classification of ranks, they were referred to as Half-Step into the Dao Martial Artists.
Some genius individuals, with their Half-Step into the Dao cultivation, could even defeat primary-level Path-Entering Martial Artists.
All these were possibilities.
Albeit the odds of such events were extremely low.
With four of the six Taishi Chairs now occupied, Ye Ku did not announce the last two seats for a while.
Presumably, those were reserved for Warriors who would arrive at the scene.
“Everyone has arrived, so now I declare, the Western Province Martial World Society officially begins!”
Clap, clap…
Another round of intense applause filled the venue.
After some pleasantries, Ye Ku and four Earth-Rank Mid-Level Warriors brought a stone pillar onto the massive war platform.
“Some friends may find this object unfamiliar, so let me briefly explain. The Testing Pillar, just release some Inner Strength onto the Testing Pillar, and it can detect a Martial Artist’s cultivation.”
“Wow! What a miraculous object!”
“I’ve read about it in ancient texts, never thought it actually existed.”
“Amazing, to think that Inner Strength could be used to determine one’s actual power.”
“I really want to go up and test myself.”
…
The appearance of the Testing Pillar piqued many people’s interest.
However, the qualifications needed to get up there and test weren’t possessed by every team.
“To ensure fairness, every team participating in the platform duel must pass the assessment of the Testing Pillar. If the team does not have a Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow cultivation, don’t waste time coming up to test,” said Ye Ku, his face filled with seriousness towards the end.
If every team were to test, it would be dawn before they’d be done.
So he clarified in advance.
As such, almost no one dared to cause a stir.
After all, the forces behind this Martial World Society were Heavenly Mansion and one of the Super Clans.
Offending these two powers meant there was no place in the Huaxia Warrior Realm where they could stay.
“Now, the testing begins. Please, teams with the required cultivation, come up to the platform in turn for the assessment and finally, draw lots to choose the opponent you’ll challenge.”
