This situation did not occur because the practitioners in Yang Qi's group were weak, but because Yang Qi was too powerful. You should know that Yang Qi's team had three practitioners who had mastered two kinds of extreme mysteries. According to past practice, such practitioners were fully qualified to compete for the championship in the final stage.
Unfortunately, they met Yang Qi, who blocked them from the top 20.
This is not because the three of them had bad luck and encountered a heaven-defying cultivator like Yang Qi. In fact, the strength and means of the cultivators were taken into consideration during the grouping process.
This means that the difficulty for each group to compete for the top one or two places is not actually that different, at least in the eyes of the practitioners in charge of grouping.
In the competition for the top 20, Emperor Yuanhong was eliminated. The difficulty of this God-chosen Battle seemed to be even greater than he had expected. He had no chance at all to compete for a place in the top 20.
As the finals for the Nine-Star Martial Emperor mid-stage practitioners came to a temporary end, the finals for the Nine-Star Martial Emperor late-stage level also began.
As soon as Yang Qi returned to the base, he received an urgent message from Li Xu. After seeing Li Xu, the other party said solemnly, "Daoist Fellow Xu Xing."
Looking at Li Xu in front of him, Yang Qi was slightly startled, and then he said, "Brother Li, is there something important?"
"I just received news that several top cultivation forces have sent out practitioners who have exceeded the expectations of many practitioners." Li Xu said with a serious expression.
Um
Hearing Li Xu's words, Yang Qi was slightly stunned and looked at Li Xu with a puzzled expression.
Feeling Yang Qi's puzzled gaze, Li Xu did not hide anything and said directly, "Brother Xu Xing, do you think it is unexpected that a cultivator who was originally qualified to compete for the championship in the last God's Choice Battle participated in this God's Choice Battle?"
The practitioners who were eligible to compete for the championship of the last God's Chosen Battle participated in this year's God's Chosen Battle
As soon as these words were spoken, the puzzled look on Yang Qi's face became more intense. The battle of God's choice was not something that cultivators could directly participate in if they wanted to.
Each practitioner can only participate in the God's Choice War once in his life, and cannot participate in the God's Choice War again. In this case, there is naturally no possibility for the contestants of the previous session to participate in this session of the God's Choice War.
Looking at the stunned Yang Qi, Li Xu couldn't help but explain, "They didn't participate in the last God's Choice Battle, but only participated in this God's Choice Year."
I see!
Hearing Li Xu's words, Yang Qi immediately understood what the other party meant. These practitioners only had the strength to participate in the previous God-chosen Battle, but they did not choose to participate at all, but chose to participate in this one tens of millions of years later.
This means that these practitioners have most likely been suppressing their own cultivation realms during these tens of millions of years. After all, for practitioners who can compete for the championship of the God's Chosen Battle, it is definitely not difficult to break through a small realm or even directly step into the peak level of the Martial Emperor in tens of millions of years.
But after tens of millions of years, these practitioners' cultivation realms have not changed at all. This is obviously a deliberate suppression of their cultivation realms. A genius who has chosen to suppress his cultivation realm for tens of millions of years is definitely an existence that cannot be underestimated.
Yang Qi's expression froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are such practitioners common in the past?"
"Although they have occasionally appeared in previous battles of God's choice, they were not as numerous as this time. The number of similar practitioners that appeared this time is far more than in the past." Li Xu sighed slightly.
After hearing this, Yang Qi could not help but nodded slightly, and then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, they should be coming for me."
There have never been so many practitioners who have suppressed their cultivation for tens of millions of years in the past, but this time there are so many practitioners, which is obviously unreasonable. The biggest change in this battle of the chosen gods is Yang Qi!
Yang Qi, the dark horse, has a great chance of winning the championship of the God's Chosen Battle. Once Yang Qi wins the championship, the rewards from the cultivation forces behind the champion will inevitably be divided between the Li family and the Wang family.
Those top cultivation forces obviously don't want to see such a situation, so they take out their backup plans and prepare to stop Yang Qi!
That’s right, those practitioners who have suppressed their cultivation realm for tens of millions of years are the backup of the top cultivation forces. The reason they do this is that they don’t want the championship reward to be taken away by a dark horse that suddenly emerges.
In order to stop Yang Qi this time, many top cultivation forces have used their back-up plans to prevent Yang Qi from winning the championship! After all, after Yang Qi signed up for the God's Choice War, assassination and other means could no longer be used. Before Yang Qi was in the Li family's lair, if they wanted to kill Yang Qi, they would have to pay the price of many third-level martial emperor peak cultivators to succeed.
Obviously, this is a price that those practicing forces are unwilling to pay. It is precisely because of this that these practicing forces choose to use their backup plans!
Thinking of this, Yang Qi's expression could not help but condense, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you have detailed information about these practitioners?"
Even Yang Qi did not dare to underestimate these evil practitioners who had suppressed their cultivation realm for tens of millions of years. Among these practitioners, there might be those who had comprehended three supreme mysteries, or even more!
“There is only information about some practitioners from tens of millions of years ago. There has been almost no news about them in the past tens of millions of years. Many practicing forces thought that they had broken through to the late Nine-Star Martial Emperor and were going to participate in the God-chosen Battle of the late Nine-Star Martial Emperor.” Li Xu said helplessly.
You know, the information that the Li and Wang families had collected before was only about the practitioners in the middle stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor. They never considered that the evil practitioners from tens of millions of years ago would still be in the middle stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor tens of millions of years later. Therefore, the Li and Wang families did not find much information in this regard. In a hurry, it would be difficult to gain much if they wanted to find out more.
"Give me the images of these practitioners in the Battle of God's Choice." Yang Qi was not too surprised when he heard this. Since these practitioners were the backup of the top practicing forces, how could they easily expose their own strengths and methods to be detected by outsiders
However, in the Battle of the Gods, these practitioners will definitely take action, especially in the previous group matches. The strengths and means of these practitioners may be exposed a lot, and the images of the group matches can be used to preliminarily judge the strengths and means of the opponent.
"The family is already collecting it and will send it over soon." Li Xu said quickly.
Yang Qi could think of this, and the Li and Wang families were no exception. They had already been collecting images, but they had not yet finished collecting them.
