Xuan Qingzhu said, "Since it is a test, it cannot be conducted in a place that everyone is familiar with. We have to go to an unfamiliar area, facing an unfamiliar world and unfamiliar people. In that place, martial power is the only guarantee you have."
"Here, I am honored to say that our sect has had the privilege of cooperating with the Star Guild of the Central Plains in this sect ranking tournament."
"The second stage of the competition will be held in the Central Plains."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience erupted in excitement.
"My God, it's the Star Guild!" Some knowledgeable businessmen immediately became excited, "Are they really going to the Central Plains?"
'"I really envy them. The Central Plains is not something anyone can go to. I heard that people from the Outer Realms have to go through layers of audits to enter the Central Plains. Only after meeting the strict requirements of the Central Plains will they be able to enter."
"That's right. The Central Plains has a higher level of people's eyes. They never form any diplomatic relations with the people of our four regions."
Even Xiang Nan found it inconceivable. He knew the Central Plains and how troublesome it was to go there.
Normally, a person had to submit an application three years in advance. During these three years, this person would be secretly investigated by the Star Guild. As long as this person did anything that violated the rules of the Star Guild, his application would be rejected at any time.
There were too many wealthy people, even experts at the high realm of martial arts, and Qiongji had never been qualified to enter the Central Plains in his entire life. The word "Central Plains" could only appear in their beautiful dreams.
But today, the The Profound Sky Sect actually wanted to bring all the contestants to the Central Plains.
This was a long-cherished wish that Xiang Nan had never fulfilled in his previous life.
"Looks like the relationship between the The Profound Sky Sect and the Star Guild has grown warmer during my absence." Xiang Nan thought silently.
Xuan Qingzhu clapped his hands to silence everyone and said, "Therefore, in the second stage of the competition, we will transmit the images of the competition back through the Hawkeye. The audience will still be able to enjoy it."
"However, due to the restrictions on the confidentiality of some competitions, the scenes of the competitions will be delayed by three days. Please forgive me."
"Then now, all the contestants are invited to board the flying ship. Let's set out."
Xiang Nan hadn't expected that he would leave so quickly. He hadn't even had the chance to discuss it with his sect.
In the sky, a flying ship had slowly docked.
Xiang Nan and the other four exchanged glances and jumped onto the flying ship at the same time.
The flying ship arrived at the official teleportation array outside Tianyu City and disappeared in a burst of azure light through a long distance teleportation.
Apart from Xuan Qingzhu, there were no other elders who followed them to the Central Plains, because the Star Guild did not allow the elders of the "Outer Realm" sects to enter the territory of the Central Plains.
When the flying ship appeared again, it was in an endless sea.
Looking around, there was a mist floating on the surface of the sea. After the flying ship left the teleportation array, it continued flying north.
Around the flying ship, there were more than a dozen eagle eyes circling around.
Standing on the deck, Xuan Qingzhu looked at the sea and said, "In this world, there is no teleportation array that can directly reach the Central Plains."
"The area we are in right now is the isolation zone between the Outer Realm and the Central Plains. It is called the Sea of Forgetfulness."
"We need to fly three million kilometers before we can reach the boundary of the Central Plains. During this period, we will receive numerous inspections from the Star Guild. Please maintain your cooperation and refrain from unnecessary resistance."
As soon as Xuan Qingzhu finished speaking, a giant steel ship appeared in the vast sea of mist.
The outline of that thing was very similar to a flying ship, but it was made of incomparably strong rare metals.
The giant steel ship slowly approached from within the sea of mist. At first, it was just a blurry shadow. As it got closer and closer, it gradually became clear.
Seeing that the monster had pushed open layers of white mist and appeared in everyone's line of sight, it immediately gave everyone a tremendous visual shock.
In the world of the Outer Realms, there had never been a steel flying ship like this before! It was like an invincible steel fortress.
A group of martial artists dressed in light golden robes jumped down from the giant steel ship. They first had a simple conversation with Xuan Qingzhu, and then thoroughly searched the entire flying ship of the The Profound Sky Sect .
These people were simply extremely arrogant. In their eyes, this group of Old Earth Hat martial artists from the Outer Realm seemed as if they did not exist, and they were too lazy to even look at them.
They rudely searched the entire flying ship and even smashed the dining tables and chairs in the dining hall to see if there was anything unexpected hidden inside.
In the end, they had all the disciples stand on the deck, and then they went to search the participating disciples one by one.
"I really don't know why we're here to inspect this bunch of outsiders."
"That's right. They live on their own. We live on our own. Why did they let this bunch of bumpkins come to the Central Plains? I heard that the people of the Outer Realms don't have any qualities. Wherever they go, they will make the environment dirty."
Listening to the people from the Star Guild chatting, Xiang Nan and the others frowned repeatedly.
Even Xuan Qingzhu felt uncomfortable.
In the next ten days, Xiang Nan and the others had encountered a total of seven or eight such interrogations!
Many times, the two sides almost had a friction. In the end, it was Xuan Qingzhu who came forward to solve the problem.
Before they could reach the Central Plains, everyone was suffocating.
"How arrogant." Yuan Meng sat on the deck, holding a big wine jar in his hand. While drinking, he said, "This bunch of dirt from the Central Plains is truly arrogant. They treat us like animals."
"I don't know where they got so much confidence. When we get to the Central Plains, I will teach them a lesson."
Feng Xuan threw a piece of candy into his mouth and said, "The human civilization in the Central Plains is unprecedentedly developed, far surpassing our Outer Realm."
"It can even be said that the Central Plains and the Outer Realms live in two completely different environments, and they don't understand each other very well."
"What's so great about it?" Yuan Meng said unhappily, "Where can civilization go?"
"Not to mention …" Xiang Nan couldn't help but interrupt. "They didn't show the high quality they deserved."
"That's right." Xiao Jun leaned over and sat down next to Xiang Nan, saying, "When this young master goes to the Central Plains, you must love their women fiercely."
"Oh right, Xiang Nan, I think your master likes me. She's just embarrassed to speak. Can you find an opportunity to arrange for us?"
Yuan Meng grabbed Xiao Jun's collar and threw him into the sea.
Xiao Jun fell into the water with a splash and raised a large amount of water. However, in the next moment, Xiao Jun was already sitting beside Xiang Nan. He smiled and said, "Arrange it. This is considered to be a beauty."
Xiang Nan and the others looked at Xiao Jun in disbelief, their hearts sinking.
When did this kid come back? He had just fallen into the water a moment ago, and in the next instant, he had already sat back down with a playful smile on his face.
Looks like this kid is usually sloppy, but in reality, he is really capable.
