Chapter 470: The Seventh Arena

Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip!

Although Jiang Yun didn’t hear the complete conversation of the man clearly, just hearing the words Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip was enough to make his heart tremble suddenly.

Because he remembered the bamboo slip from the Mountain-Sea World Luo family’s Demon’s Tao Conferment!

A month ago, Jiang Yun was reminded of the presence of a Demon Refiner in this world by the Feng family’s monument.

Unexpectedly, on the way to Xia City, he heard the words "Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip" again, just like the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun quickly messaged Li Yue, "Li Yue, do you know if the Xia family has any Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip?"

"Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip?" Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s message, Li Yue shook his head, "I’ve never heard of it."

Although Li Yue’s answer disappointed Jiang Yun a bit, it was within his expectations.

He now knew that because The Land of a Hundred Families was too remote, most tribes living there, apart from a few powerful ones like Mu village, didn’t know much about this world either.

However, this piqued his interest in the upcoming Beast Arena even more.

"The Luo family’s Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip is only one piece, and according to Bai Ze, the real Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip should be a scroll. So, it’s likely that the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip has been scattered and spread across different worlds."

"If the Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip in Xia family is a piece from Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, it proves that the strangeness of this realm is definitely related to the Demon Refiner!"

Lost in thoughts, Jiang Yun and others finally entered Xia City along with the crowded people.

At the same time as Jiang Yun and the others entered Xia City, in a private room on the top floor of a nine-story tavern in the city, two men were happily drinking and chatting.

One of them is Yu Cangwu, and sitting across from him is a handsome man of similar age.

The man raised his cup and said, "Brother Yu, if you become the son-in-law of my Xia family this time, our relationship will take another step forward!"

"Minglou, sister of Mingzhu!"

A hint of ambiguous smile appeared on Yu Cangwu’s face, but quickly disappeared as he shook his head, saying, "Minglou, I’m not that lucky!"

Xia Minglou looked surprised and asked, "Did I hear correctly? Yu Cangwu, are you really giving up on Mingzhu?"

"I’m not giving up, it’s just not a good time for Xia family to choose a son-in-law!"

"How do I explain?"

"This time, from what I know, there is someone who is most likely to win in the Beast Arena, and also most likely to become a great match for your Xia family!"

"Who?"

"A tribute from a remote tribe!"

Xia Minglou put down his glass, furrowed his brow, and said, "A tribute from a remote tribe, where does this person come from specifically, that makes you feel inferior?"

Yu Cang, however, raised his glass, drank it all, and said, "Very inferior, greatly inferior!"

"Brother Yu, stop beating around the bush, tell me, what’s going on?"

"Actually, it’s nothing much. You know I like to wander around. About a year ago, I went to The Land of a Hundred Families, coincidentally during their Hundred Family Bazaar, so I went to take a look around and met this person!"

After listening to Yu Cangwu’s story, Xia Minglou blinked and said, "Listening to you, this person does seem a bit odd, but don’t be discouraged. This Beast Arena is different from the past."

Yu Cangwu said with little interest, "What’s different?"

Xia Minglou whispered, "My father has decided that the final ten will enter the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip!"

"What!"

Yu Cangwu was shocked, stood up suddenly, widened his eyes and asked, "Did Uncle Xia really say that?"

"Don’t get excited, sit down!"

Xia Minglou grinned, "Even if I had the courage of a lion, I wouldn’t dare to deceive you with such matters."

"In fact, this is not a secret. Some information has already leaked out, and many well-informed groups should know about it. You’ve been traveling outside and just returned today, that’s why you haven’t heard."

Although Yu Cangwu sat down, his shocked expression still showed that he couldn’t accept the news.

After a while, he regained his composure and asked, "Why did Uncle Xia make this decision? Isn’t he afraid that others will obtain the secrets in the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip?"

Xia Minglou spread out his hands and said, "I guess he was feeling disheartened!"

Sighing, Xia Minglou continued, "It was because my Xia family obtained the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip that we gradually rose and became a Daoist clan."

"Over these years, my Xia family has never stopped exploring the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip. But until now, we haven’t made any progress. So why not let everyone go in and take a look? Maybe we’ll discover something."

Yu Cangwu nodded in understanding and said, "You’re right!"

Then, Yu Cangwu’s face revealed a meaningful smile as he said, "If we really enter the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, then I might have a bit of hope!"

Xia Minglou raised his wine glass again and said, "Come on, I’ll toast first to Brother Yu’s success in this Beast Arena!"

…

Although Xia City has gathered many cultivators and beasts, the city is big enough so it doesn’t feel crowded.

However, the Beast Arena won’t take place until three days later. After finding their accommodation, Xiao Yun and his friends wanted to go out for a stroll.

After all, it’s rare to come here once, who knows if there will be another chance to come here again.

Jiang Yun also wanted to go out to see if he could meet acquaintances and gather some information, so he left the inn with the others.

Unfortunately, after spending two days wandering around, Jiang Yun didn’t gain anything except buying a lot of herbs and completing the registration. He didn’t even see other groups from The Land of a Hundred Families.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun already understood the rules of the Beast Arena.

Since there were too many groups participating, at least thousands, it would take too much time if they fought each other one by one to determine the final winner.

Therefore, the Beast Arena test was divided into two rounds.

In the first round, they used a knockout method.

Ten groups were randomly selected to occupy ten arenas as the champions. Then, other groups could choose any champion to challenge.

If they won, they could replace the champion and accept challenges from other groups. If they lost, they would be eliminated directly.

The first round of competition lasted for ten days. By the tenth day, the ten groups still on the platforms would be the final top ten.

Even though it was ten days, every group that became a platform champion would receive some extra rewards if they could endure at least one day.

If a platform went without a challenger for over an hour, the Xia family would randomly select a group to challenge.

This was to prevent some groups from waiting until the last day to compete on the platforms.

After the first round of competition ended, these ten groups would advance to the second round.

In the past, the second round had groups competing in pairs.

However, this time the Xia family did not announce the rules. Jiang Yun overheard a conversation between two big men and knew that the way to win the final top ten this time should be related to the Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip.

Three days passed quickly. On the night before the Beast Arena competition began, a middle-aged man with a yellow complexion suddenly appeared at the inn where Jiang Yun and the others were staying.

The middle-aged man’s voice thundered, "Who is Jiang Yun?"

Jiang Yun frowned and stepped forward, saying, "It’s me!"

"I’m here to tell you that tomorrow morning, you all at Xiao Village, are the champions of the seventh platform!"
