Chapter 1313 - 1313: Our Era Has Arrived

"In previous Jade River competitions, at least a dozen people could reach the peak each time."

"Yeah, it's just that the time spent varies."

"Venerable Luo Yun's early performance was extremely exceptional, faster than disciples from previous competitions..."

"It's truly bizarre that she got eliminated."

The Sect Leader and Pill Hall Elders of the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect were utterly unable to accept this result.

"Impossible!"

"There must be an error!"

"There must be something wrong!"

With such a genius, the entire sect was ready for a grand celebration, just waiting for Luo Yun to be crowned at this Alchemy Dao大会.

She would take the top spot and elevate the reputation of the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect to the peak.

In the coming eons, the outside world would generally regard the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect as the first Sacred Land of Alchemy Dao in the Land of Dao Extinction.

This was extremely beneficial to their development.

Everything seemed so logically inevitable.

Even the Celestial Pill Department, Purple Nether Palace, and Huiyuan Hall, these alchemy forces, had all tacitly acknowledged that the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect would usher in a prosperous era next.

But the result was suddenly shattered.

With Luo Yun's elimination, the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect's ambition to reach the peak at this大会 became a bubble.

Even if they have a chance to thrive in the future, it won't start from today.

"I strongly suspect there's a problem with the Jade River!"

After a brief shock, the Sect Leader of the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect quickly began to think of solutions.

The proposal for a rematch quickly elicited a response from other elders of the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect.

"Yes, there must be a mistake!"

"I suggest a rematch!"

"For Venerable Luo Yun's power not to claim the top spot is regrettable, and a disgrace to this competition."

"We must rematch!"

However, unfortunately, this certainly was just their self-indulgence.

The other sects in the Land of Dao Extinction scoffed at this proposal.

"What could possibly go wrong?"

"The Jade River is directly controlled by the world rules of the Refining Heart Dao, who can intervene?"

"Exactly, is the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect unable to bear losing?"

The top alchemy sects like the Purple Nether Palace and Huiyuan Hall nearly couldn't hold back their laughter.

Venerable Du Feng in second place and Venerable Song Li in third were originally far behind, utterly without hope of claiming the top spot.

Now, an opportunity presents itself.

With Luo Yun eliminated, Venerable Du Feng became the new top spot.

Venerable Song Li, closely following behind, had a slight gap, possibly overtaking at any moment.

"Hahaha, Venerable Du Feng, well done!"

"Venerable Song Li has tremendous staying power!"

"Exactly, exactly, this competition boils down to stamina; it's not surprising some rushed ahead but lost momentum later."

"Those who laugh last, laugh best..."

Not only them, but other sects also disagreed with a rematch.

With Luo Yun eliminated, everyone behind gained a rank, why not be happy?

"This competition is extremely fair, what's wrong with it?"

"Venerable Luo Yun's failure is no one's fault but her own."

"It seems this time Purple Nether Palace will claim the peak."

"That's not certain, Huiyuan Hall still has a great chance."

"Hahaha, even with one less person ahead, why is the Celestial Pill Department still fourth?"

Everyone took a glance, indeed it was. Venerable Juqiu from the Celestial Pill Department, originally ranked fourth, was still fourth.

Because he was overtaken by Venerable Xu Xing, originally ranked fifth.

So now Venerable Xu Xing is in third, Juqiu remains fourth.

Venerable Xu Xing hails from the distinguished alchemy family, the Yuanjing Family.

Seeing their clansman breaking into the front ranks, the clan leader and elders were overjoyed.

"Hahaha, who would've thought our Yuanjing Family could get into the top three?"

"This achievement truly exceeded expectations!"

"Though it's not the top spot, eliminating the massive entity of the Celestial Pill Department is enough!"

"Yes, yes, we can also proclaim outwardly that the Yuanjing Family has defeated the Celestial Pill Department."

"Indeed, being loftier than the Celestial Pill Department is quite significant!"

"Hahahaha..."

Unnoticeably, the Celestial Pill Department once again became the target of ridicule.

This caused Tian Lin, Taiheng, and others to wear ashen faces, unable to refute, only to accept the mockery.

If only they had sent a Seventh-grade Emperor Alchemist to compete.

Not for the top spot, but the top three would be assured.

Meanwhile, Brother Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger had again submerged a segment deeper.

The duo came face to face with the closely competing Venerable Du Feng and Venerable Song Li.

Seeing Jiang Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger, these two thought they were 'fake people' created by the illusion of the Jade River's test.

So the two naturally advanced toward them.

This time, Brother Cheng didn't give them any time to ponder life, launching with a long-range strike right away.

Thinking the 'fake people' were easily dealt with, Venerable Du Feng confidently approached.

Then there was no then.

Boom!

He was shaken on the spot, dazed and dizzy, his entire skeleton nearly shattered.

Immediately following, the irresistible follow-up impact force surged again, launching him into the air.

Flying high in the sky, Venerable Du Feng felt like a mosquito swatted by a palm fan.

He didn't even have time for shock, instead feeling lost.

How could that 'fake person' be so strong?

Bang!

He also fell back into the arena.

This time, the entire field erupted.

"What?"

"Venerable Du Feng was also knocked out?"

"How could this happen?"

It was the Purple Nether Palace's Sect Leader and Elders' turn to question their life.

"This can't be happening!"

"Venerable Du Feng has participated in this competition dozens of times, this is his fifth Jade River contest, each time he reaches the peak!"

"There's something wrong, definitely something wrong!"

"This competition surely encountered an accident, I suggest reopening it!"

Just a moment ago, they were adamantly opposed to re-competing, ridiculing the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect for being sore losers, now immediately their stance took a turn, wanting a redo.

Even if reopening means allowing Venerable Luo Yun to reclaim first place, it doesn't matter.

At least Purple Nether Palace could retain second.

"What accident, what accident?"

Huiyuan Hall certainly didn't agree.

With Venerable Du Feng eliminated, their Venerable Song Li smoothly rose to the top spot.

How could they possibly agree to reopen?

And because all other sects collectively advanced one rank, they all opposed reopening.

"What, is Purple Nether Palace also unable to lose?"

"Exactly, this only indicates Venerable Du Feng's inadequacy, insufficient stamina!"

High-level leaders of Purple Nether Palace almost suffered myocardial infarctions out of frustration.

Moments ago, they were derisively mocking Venerable Luo Yun for weak staying power, little did they expect the same criticism to fall on them so soon.

While jeering at Purple Nether Palace, and celebrating their sect's disciples for moving up a rank, they didn't forget to tread on the tree attracting the wind, the Celestial Pill Department.

"The Celestial Pill Department finally made it into the top three this time."

"Yes, yes, truly a stroke of luck!"

"Rare, or else they'd truly lose face."

And Huiyuan Hall was jubilantly celebrating.

"The trailing Venerable Xu Xing is still six or seven miles away, absolutely impossible to catch up to Venerable Song Li."

"Settled, settled, the top spot is secured!"

"Haha, it seems the era belonging to Huiyuan Hall is arriving!"

As soon as the words fell, Venerable Song Li was also knocked out from the Jade River.
