The man standing before Xu Tianyi and the others was the Lord of the Nine Provinces Immortal Palace.
He could be said to be at the pinnacle of combat power in the Nine Provinces.
Not old, he appeared to be a middle-aged man.
But he was a Supreme Immortal Emperor.
He was also probably the youngest Supreme Immortal Emperor in the Nine Provinces.
He was a phenomenal genius back in the day.
His status was also extremely exaggerated.
"Sect Leader Jun, a pleasure to meet you."
Xu Tianyi clasped his fist in greeting.
"Hahaha, the Xu family has produced an incredible prodigy."
Jun Tianchao said with a smile.
"There is still some gap compared to the geniuses of the Immortal Palace," Xu Tianyi said.
"Hahaha, you're too modest. If Jun Wuye can withstand three hundred moves from him without defeat, that will already be a success," Jun Tianchao said.
Then, his gaze swept across the crowd: "There is also a Lin Tianyi, this kid is not simple either. Although he has been defeated by Xu Fengqiu several times, we still need to be careful."
"Yes, that's true."
"What's all the excitement about?"
A voice came.
The Poetry Saint walked over with a smile.
"Your Excellency Poetry Saint."
They also clasped their fists in greeting.
"A pleasure, a pleasure. Sect Leader Jun, long time no see," the Poetry Saint said with a smile.
"Your Excellency Poetry Saint has been living a very carefree life recently, traveling between heaven and earth, envied by this old one."
Poetry Saint: "That's different. Your Excellency is the Lord of the Immortal Palace, shouldering the great responsibilities of the Immortal Palace and the Nine Provinces, unlike this old man, a solitary individual."
"Haha, you guys chat, I won't disturb you."
With that, he walked away.
The Poetry Saint sat down.
"Jun Tianchao may not have good intentions."
"Senior Poetry Saint, what makes you say that?" Liu Yunyan asked in surprise.
The Poetry Saint took a sip of wine and said calmly: "Although Jun Yichen is the Holy Son of the Immortal Palace, Jun Wuye is Jun Tianchao's only descendant, his own son. He must have invested the most effort and must hope that his son can become a sensation."
"Although Jun Wuye is already famous, compared to Xu Fengqiu, Lin Tianyi, and others, he is far from enough, and this Heavenly Martial Tournament is undoubtedly Jun Wuye's greatest stage."
They pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The Poetry Saint smiled lightly and said: "This old man came to this Martial God Hall a few days ago and also learned some news. I wonder if you know what the specific rewards for this Heavenly Martial Tournament are?"
Xu Tianyi: "We will find out later. Senior Poetry Saint, do you know any secrets?"
The Poetry Saint smiled and said: "This Heavenly Martial Tournament has a major reward: the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire."
"What? The Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire? Has this legendary Divine Flame actually appeared in the world?" Xu Tianyi was extremely surprised.
The Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire is recorded as the number one existence on the Divine Flame Ranking.
It possesses the hottest temperature and the terrifying power to purify everything in the world.
If any martial artist can refine the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire, they would truly be somewhat invincible.
The value of this Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire, for some martial artists, may be comparable to a Law.
Of course, this kind of thing is definitely not as good as a Law.
However, in the current situation, it is difficult to urge more of the Law's power.
But the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire can.
Immediate enhancement, the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire should be greater.
The number one ranked Divine Flame!
"Yes, two years ago, it was found in the Land of the Gods during an operation by the major forces of the Nine Heavens."
The Poetry Saint continued: "Since it was found together by the major forces, the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire naturally needs to have an owner. The major forces can't just fight each other for the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire, that would be a disaster for the Nine Provinces."
"So, they came up with a solution. The Immortal Palace will preserve the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire first, and when the Heavenly Martial Tournament arrives, the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire will be used as the reward for the first place."
They suddenly understood.
"So, do you think that Jun Tianchao might not do something for this Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire?"
"Moreover, only the people of the forces who were present in the Nine Heavens at that time know this news. Therefore, these people from these forces can prepare two years in advance, betting on one person for the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire."
"Jun Wuye, Zhan Jiuming from the Martial God Hall, Tang Shaoyun from the Tang Clan, and others, they have all made sufficient preparations, but unfortunately, there are several stronger existences in the Nine Provinces, but they have already participated in the Heavenly Martial Tournament. However, this lineup is also extremely strong."
Xu Tianyi: "There was actually such a thing."
The Poetry Saint: "This old man only learned about it a few days ago. Therefore, these geniuses must have improved extremely terrifyingly in these two years. Whether it is their realm or their trump cards, they must be hidden very deeply."
Liu Yunyan: "Yes, it seems that their realms will have to be increased somewhat based on what is already known."
"In two years, it is normal for top sects to forcibly improve their realms for the Pure World Sacred Lotus Fire at any cost. It is possible that they have improved a lot, perhaps even reaching the fifth level of the Immortal Emperor realm."
"Forced growth," Xi Shengyao said with emotion.
"With their methods, short-term forced growth is acceptable, and there will be ways to make up for it later, but the improvement in realm is real."
The Poetry Saint then said: "However, everyone never expected that in these two years, the Eighth Heaven actually produced a Lin Tianyi and a Xu Fengqiu. These two are huge variables. Therefore, this Heavenly Martial Tournament will be interesting."
……
At this time, a group of figures also walked onto the high platform.
They were the representatives of the various god-level forces of the Nine Heavens.
Leading them was the host of this year's event, Zhan Tianwu, the Sect Leader of the Martial God Hall.
They, a group of strong individuals, stood there with their hands behind their backs.
"Everyone, this year's Heavenly Martial Tournament officially begins today. It is expected to last for half a month, with a total of one thousand eight hundred talented martial artists from all over the world."
"The Heavenly Martial Tournament adopts a promotion and elimination system. Since there are too many people in the front, several matches will be held simultaneously. The battlefields will be in multiple random small worlds. Today, one thousand eight hundred people will be eliminated by nine hundred."
In other words, nine hundred matches will be fought today.
Simultaneous matches are still relatively fast.
However, everyone knows that there are not many matches worth watching.
Many can be skipped directly.
In the beginning, the gap between everyone is large, and there are not many good matches.
But the further you go, the stronger the strength of those who remain.
Every match after that is very exciting.
"Before the Heavenly Martial Tournament officially begins, you can first take a look at the rewards for the top hundred in this year's tournament."
With that, Zhan Tianwu swiped his hand across the void.
One hundred exquisite paintings, arranged in ten rows, appeared in the void at the same time.
The top row is the reward for the top ten.
Then, the paintings were unfolded one after another.
The paintings were written and painted with the things that were rewarded in this Heavenly Martial Tournament.
Everyone's attention went directly to the rewards for the top ten.
Hiss—
Afterwards, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Even those strong individuals and sect leaders who came from various forces couldn't help but show shocked expressions when they saw the rewards.
