After flying for half a day, they finally returned to Guiyuan City. It was getting dark, so Feng Qingyang found a place to stay for the night.
The next day, Feng Qingyang walked out of the room early in the morning and went to the main square of Guiyuan City.
There were huge crowds of people on the road, but there was no one around him. Passers-by kept one meter away from him, probably because he was at the peak of his career in Guiyuan City and had a great reputation!
Feng Qingyang didn't know how long it took him to get to He Tu's hometown and heal his injuries, so he forcibly captured someone to ask. When he found out the answer, he was shocked and hurriedly flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.
It turned out that after the auditions, the preliminary rounds would be held, with a three-day break in between. However, Feng Qingyang had been gone for nearly seven days, and it was unknown whether he had missed the qualification.
"I don't know if I still have the qualifications..." He murmured to himself and flew away.
In less than half an hour, he finally arrived at the registration square, only to see that the outer square was sparsely populated. Feng Qingyang was puzzled, as logically there should be a lot of people.
He walked forward quickly and saw the old man who had signed up for the competition sitting cross-legged there. He walked forward and asked, "Senior... where are these people? Aren't we going to continue the competition?"
Hearing this, the old man who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them. When he saw the striking red hair of the person coming, he knew who the person was. A barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes and he said, "You were almost disqualified from the rules."
After a pause, he said, "Give me your jade slip for the competition."
Feng Qingyang took it out from the ring and handed it forward as he was told. The old man waved his hand and rays of light poured into it. After a while, he returned the jade slip to Feng Qingyang and closed his eyes again. The whole process was very quick and clean!
Feng Qingyang looked at him deeply, took the jade slip in his palm, and suddenly a piece of information appeared in his mind.
"Tiandu Peak?"
He muttered to himself and then looked at the small words in his mind. It turned out that those who successfully passed the audition battlefield went to Tiandu Peak. According to the rules of the competition, the first one thousand people who reached Tiandu Peak within five days would be qualified to continue the competition, and the rest would be eliminated one by one, and those who were eliminated would die!
"Is there any big move in Guiyuan City? Why do all the eliminated people die every time?" Feng Qingyang was terrified. Holding the jade slip in his palm, he saw a sea of corpses and blood in front of him.
“No matter what conspiracy you have, I can crush it with one punch…” A cold light flashed in Feng Qingyang’s eyes, and then he went to the location indicated by the jade slip.
As he left, the old man who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and said, "This boy has unlimited potential!" Then he closed his eyes again.
Tiandu Peak is located in the east of Guiyuan City. It is a straight sword-edge with cliffs and rugged rocks on all sides. The whole peak is filled with a sharp and oppressive aura. No one knows how it was formed. Countless years have passed, and it was taken over by the Lord of Guiyuan City and turned into a trial peak.
It is rumored that the Lord of Guiyuan City once climbed the Sword Peak when he was young, but he only climbed to two-thirds of the height before falling from the sky and almost falling off the cliff and dying.
Tiandu Peak is shrouded in an invisible force, making it impossible to fly in the air there, and the entire Jianfeng is filled with sword energy. If one falls from a high altitude, one will be instantly torn into pieces by the invisible sword energy all around. Only by staying close to the cliff of Jianfeng will one avoid being harmed by the Jianfeng.
Feng Qingyang went out of the city gate and headed east. He flew for about half a day and finally arrived at the outskirts of Tiandu Peak at noon.
The sun was shining brightly and the earth was scorching hot. It was the most uncomfortable time of the day for Feng Qingyang. He randomly found a shady place and sat cross-legged in meditation.
Looking from afar at the Tiandu Peak that pierces the sky.
Seeing is believing. When Feng Qingyang saw the incomparably majestic Tiandu Peak, his heart was deeply shocked.
The Tiandu Peak is unfathomably high, shaped like a giant sword, slightly flat on both sides and slightly bulging in the middle. There is no jungle on the peak, not even a bird. There are only bare black rocks on the top, making the whole Tiandu Peak look somewhat hideous and terrifying!
"Third Eye—Open!"
Feng Qingyang let out a low growl, his eyes flashing with a gleam. He raised his head and looked at Tiandu Peak in the distance. Just a glance made him shed tears of blood. It wasn't that he cried, but that he was hurt by countless auras.
"How... How is this possible!" He muttered to himself in horror. Although his third eye was only open for a moment, he still saw a general idea.
There seems to be a huge magnetic field inside the Tiandu Peak. Once you enter the range covered by the Tiandu Peak, you cannot fly. Moreover, there are countless tiny swords floating in the void of one hundred meters inside the peak.
The sword energy was so sharp that Feng Qingyang only took a quick glance at it and it affected the energy of Tiandu Peak. In the end, he was injured by the thin sword floating in the void.
He rubbed his eyes, and his magic power surged up to restore his vision. Looking at the Tiandu Peak towering into the sky, he felt as if it was suddenly covered with a mysterious veil.
The foot of Tiandu Peak is now filled with countless people, as densely packed as ants, and they are trying hard to climb upwards.
The most eye-catching among them are Lu Xun, the number one in Taixuan Sect, and Wu Zili, the prince of Tianyao Sect. These two are far ahead of everyone behind them, but if you look closely, you will find that Lu Xun is always one step ahead of Wu Zili.
After waiting for several hours, it was dusk. Feng Qingyang stood up from his cross-legged position, exerted force on his feet, and rushed to the foot of Tiandu Peak with a whoosh.
Just like the area covered by Tiandu Peak, Feng Qingyang suddenly felt as if he was trapped in a swamp. The air was not only sticky, but also contained a sharp sense of cutting.
At this time, several days had passed since the preliminary round. Feng Qingyang looked up at the crowd and gradually walked to the rock edge of Tiandu Peak.
The rocks were dark brown with countless spots on them.
Feng Qingyang reached out and grabbed a protruding rock, then pushed his feet upward and climbed up about a hundred meters easily, catching up with many contestants.
When he reached the 100th meter, the ascent speed slowed down significantly. He grabbed a strange rock above his head and lifted his body upwards. He felt a pain and enormous pressure, as if something was pressing down on him from above.
Feng Qingyang gritted his teeth and, relying on his strong physique, managed to climb up another ten meters in the horrified eyes of countless people around him, and immediately left countless people behind.
On the outskirts of Tiandu Peak, there were several figures in the void. They were watching the people climbing in the distance. Among the people, there was a figure that was particularly eye-catching. She was wearing a fiery red leather armor and looked very heroic. It was the city lord Qianjin Qian Duoduo.
She had the 'Snow Star' tied around her neck that Feng Qingyang had put on for her personally, and was looking into the distance with worry in her eyes.
"You have to work harder! We don't have much time!"
