Chapter 505: Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip

Amidst the bell ringing, all the groups started rushing towards Summer Palace because the location for the second round of the Beast Arena competition was changed to Summer Palace instead of Beast Arena.

Actually, last night, the Xia family hosted a feast at the Summer Palace, inviting all the groups to attend. They even purposely sent an invitation to Jiang Yun, but he did not go.

During the feast, the Xia family publicly announced the rules for the second round of the competition.

As rumored, this time the competition was different from previous ones, instead of ten champions fighting each other, they were all to enter the Xia family’s Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip!

The Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip was not owned by the Xia family, but obtained accidentally by them, and it is the key to the Xia family becoming a Daoist clan.

It forms its own world inside, with hidden opportunities but also risks.

For this competition, the Xia family divided it into nine sections like checkpoints.

The one who successfully passes all nine sections and reaches the Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip will be the winner of this Beast Arena.

Summer Palace, the palace of the Xia family Daoist clan, at the center of Xia City and The Barbaric Southern Land, is grandly built.

The damage caused here two days ago by Jiang Yun controlling a group of beasts has been completely repaired and no trace of destruction can be seen.

At this moment, the large square outside Summer Palace is packed with people.

Apart from Jiang Yun, the ten arena champions, the other nine are all present.

Jiang Yun, due to his impressive performance in the first round of the competition, is now the favorite to win the championship.

However, not everyone thought the same way.

Because if only ten champions enter the Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, Jiang Yun has the best chance of winning. But this time, in addition to these ten champions, there are five more people!

These five people are the three disciples from the Daoist clans that Xia Zhongtian personally welcomed a few days ago.

And yesterday, two more young descendants of powerful families from another part of the land arrived at the Xia family.

Compared to the disciples from the Daoist clans and powerful families, Jiang Yun and the others no longer have an advantage.

What’s more important is that according to the Xia family, inside the Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip world, it’s not just about being strong. The timing to leave early depends on luck, opportunity, and understanding, among other things.

In short, because of the participation of other Daoist clans, the second round of competition has truly become the focus of thousands, arousing great anticipation.

Finally, to the delight of everyone, Jiang Yun and the people from Xiao Village appeared before everyone.

Even though the competition had not yet started, it was already creating a buzz. Countless cultivators were eagerly greeting Jiang Yun.

"Come on, Taoist Friend Jiang!"

"Taoist Friend Jiang, I believe in you!"

Stronger ones are respected, it’s a well-known rule in any world.

Jiang Yun earned the respect of the cultivators above The Barbaric Southern Land with his strength.

Jiang Yun politely nodded and greeted these people one by one. After a while, he finally reached the front of the Summer Palace and stood side by side with the other nine challengers.

Among the other nine challengers, apart from Mu Congsheng, the other eight also bowed to Jiang Yun.

Especially Yu Cangwu, who waved excitedly towards him and shouted, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother!"

Yesterday, Guan Yiming and Yu Cangwu had separately talked to Jiang Yun for a long time.

Because of Xia Zhongxing’s influence, Yu Cangwu considered Jiang Yun as his senior brother and kept calling him that without any hesitation, which made Jiang Yun both amused and helpless.

As for Guan Yiming, the two of them had already shared their own experiences.

Unfortunately, Guan Yiming also had no news about other people from the Mountain-Sea World.

With the ten champions already gathered, the bell ringing throughout Xia City finally stopped.

Following that, the gates of the Summer Palace opened, and a group of people walked out.

Leading them was the Xia family master, Xia Zhongtian!

Behind him, apart from the six Daoist clan guests he had brought the day before, there were six more people.

Among these six people, four were from two other major clans, and besides them, there was a young man and woman dressed in Xia family attire.

The man was extremely handsome, smiling as he looked around, while the woman kept her head down, but Jiang Yun immediately recognized her as Xia Mingzhu!

Not only Jiang Yun recognized her, but most people around also did.

The beautiful Xia Mingzhu from the Barbaric Southern Land appeared!

"Xia Mingzhu showed up! Could the rumors be true? The Xia family is really looking for a son-in-law for Xia Mingzhu at the Beast Arena this time!"

"It must be true. Otherwise, why would other clans and big families come here to participate in the Beast Arena?"

"Don’t you find it strange? With the Xia family’s power and Xia Mingzhu’s beauty, why do they need to find a son-in-law this way?"

"You don’t understand. If the Xia family and other clans become relatives, it will be a powerful alliance!"

As everyone was discussing, Xia Zhongtian raised his hand, bowed to everyone with a smile, and said, "Everyone, I was going to keep it a secret, but since you all know already, I won’t hide it anymore."

"Yes, the Xia family wants to find a good match for our jewel through this Beast Arena!"

"The first person to come out of the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip this time will not only win the competition but also become the son-in-law of the Xia family!"

The previous guesses were confirmed by Xia Zhongtian’s open confession, causing a commotion in the crowd.

Some kind-hearted people even joined in, creating a lively atmosphere.

Xia Zhongtian smiled as everyone teased him, then raised his hand to signal for quiet. He said, "But, let me say something first!"

"If anyone isn’t here for the Xia family’s precious gem, it’s best not to participate in the second round of the competition!"

"In case someone wins but refuses to become a son-in-law of the Xia family, not only will it embarrass the Xia family, but also delay the important matter of the Xia family’s precious gem. Then, don’t blame the Xia family for being impolite!"

Xia Zhongtian’s face showed a hint of seriousness, making the surrounding atmosphere tense.

Soon, someone shouted, "Master Xia, becoming a son-in-law of the Xia family and marrying Miss Precious Gem is an unparalleled blessing that one can hardly come by. No one would refuse it. Let’s start the second round of the competition!"

This statement was indeed true.

Anyone who becomes the son-in-law of the Xia family will rise to great heights and enjoy both wealth and beauty. It’s a win-win situation that everyone would desire!

However, there was someone who remained expressionless – Jiang Yun!

He didn’t come for Xia Mingzhu, but for the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip. Even if he wins, he cannot marry Xia Mingzhu or become a member of the Xia family.

However, he also agrees with what Xia Zhongtian said. It would be disrespectful and unfair to Xia Mingzhu if he were to reject after winning in front of so many people, which would also damage the Xia family’s reputation.

"It seems like I won’t be able to win this match after all!"

"Alright everyone, it’s getting late. Let’s start the second round of the competition now!"

"Please present the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip!"

As soon as Xia Zhongtian waved his big hand, a burst of colorful light appeared out of nowhere!

The light grew bigger and bigger, covering the entire square and everyone on it, forming a colorful light gate.
