I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

The quota competition for the Asura Ancient Land had started earlier than expected. This also meant that the various factions vying for the Asura Ancient Land had already started to make their preparations. The participants of the Great War from back then had also started to make their appearance.

Chu Xuan raised his head to look at the sky. The speed at which the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region recovered was also increasing.

It was about time for the competitors from all sides to make their appearance.

Although Emperor realm itinerant cultivators could participate in the quota competition, the major powers of the Northern Zone had set up checkpoints.

Only by breaking through these checkpoints would the itinerant cultivators be qualified to participate.

Apart from itinerant cultivators who had experts backing them, itinerant cultivators who did not have any background would not be able to break through the checkpoints and participate in the quota competition easily.

Chu Xuan took out the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and found that Ren Changhe was already preparing to come to the Northern Zone, so he left him to his own devices.

Once the quota competition for the Asura Ancient Land began, both Ding Yue and Wang Luo would participate. Xiao Liang naturally would be there as well.

They would all participate as itinerant cultivators.

Chu Xuan was looking forward to the performance of his disciples. He hoped that they would trigger the system's reward during the quota competition.

Based on Chu Xuan's current level of mastery in the Dao of Fate, it could be seen that the start of this quota competition would signify the start of the battle for fate would begin.

On a vast plain in the Southern Region, a battle arena was being set up.

This place was far from any populated areas in the Southern Region, and was a desolate area.

The people in charge of setting up the battle arena were naturally the three sects and three empires of the Southern Region. Behind them were their superpower counterparts of the Northern Zone.

The other forces and sects of the Southern Region could only shake their heads and sigh when they heard about such a grand event. They had no chance to participate.

They could only become spectators.

The weakest of those who participated in the quota competition were Emperor realm cultivators.

The Southern Region had no Emperor realm cultivators!

Well, at least on the surface, there were none. Moreover, those who had Emperor realm experts among their ranks were not simple.

The small and medium-sized forces of the Southern Region all realized that the Southern Region was going to change.

Some people started making plans to rely on the large forces to protect their own forces or disband their forces to join a new force.

Some people were worried and did not want their sects' foundations to be destroyed.

The road to the Southern Region had been opened.

The first hurdle that itinerant cultivators faced was to pass through the road to the Southern Region.

If they could not even make it to the Southern Region, then what qualifications did they have to participate in the quota competition?

The various major powers were all on their way to the Southern Region, stationing experts along the way to stop the itinerant cultivators from entering.

Since they had set up a checkpoint, there were naturally rules as well.

Those above the Emperor realm were not allowed to take action.

Other than that, they could fight alone or in groups.

The Asura Ancient Land was not accessible to those above the Emperor realm. Hence, itinerant cultivators above the Emperor realm would not take action. Even if they took action for their juniors or descendants, if they violated the rules, they would be suppressed by the various major powers.

The journey to the Southern Region was destined to be an extraordinary experience for itinerant cultivators. Battles happened all the time and everywhere.

If itinerant cultivators wanted to pass, they had to be strong enough and have sufficient means.

The Emperor realm cultivators from the major forces, regardless of whether it was in terms of cultivation methods or equipment, had far greater resources at their disposal compared to itinerant cultivators. They were usually stronger than the itinerant cultivators too.

Even if groups of itinerant cultivators joined hands to launch a surprise attack, only a few could break through the encirclement and enter the Southern Region. Moreover, those that could were the top experts among the itinerant cultivators.

On the road from the Western Region to the Southern Region, an ordinary-looking young man was heading toward the Southern Region.

He was Xiao Liang, who was concealing his true identity.

How could he miss such a grand occasion in the Southern Region?

At the pass leading to the Southern Region, an expert at the ninth level of the Emperor realm looked at Xiao Liang who was walking over and said disdainfully, "As an itinerant cultivator, you should have some self-awareness. Not everyone can participate in this grand event. Young man, you should leave. This old man won't make things difficult for you."

Xiao Liang was expressionless as he walked forward step by step, holding a long spear in his hand.

"Oh, kid, you're not convinced? Don't you know that twelve itinerant Emperor realm cultivators have already died here?"

Xiao Liang opened his mouth and asked, "How old are you? How strong are you?"

"Listen well. This old man broke through to the Emperor realm in 500 years. It's been 3,000 years since then. I'm now at the ninth level of the Emperor realm and was once a Heaven's Blessed!"

Xiao Liang laughed disdainfully. "Heh, it took you 500 years to break through to the Emperor realm, and 3,000 years to break through to the ninth level of the Emperor realm. You're just trash!"

"You're courting death!"

The spear flashed, and the battle ended in the blink of an eye. A figure was nailed to the ground at the entrance of the pass, his face filled with disbelief.

Xiao Liang continued to advance.

He charged forward alone!

Another ninth-level Emperor realm expert came to stop him, but was also defeated in an instant.

After three of them were defeated in an instant, the Emperor realm experts guarding this passage all knew that an extremely powerful itinerant cultivator had arrived.

The experts among them made a move.

Normally, if an itinerant cultivator could defeat three people in a row or an expert among the overseers, they would be allowed to pass.

Xiao Liang was too strong, and those who tried to stop him were defeated too quickly. The Emperor realm martial artists of the major forces guarding the passage were unconvinced and felt that their performance had been too shameful.

Therefore, they directly ignored the hidden rule that someone who defeated three people consecutively had passed the test.

"You managed to receive three strikes from me. You can be considered decent," Xiao Liang said as looked at the young man who had just been defeated by him.

Three strikes!

Everyone was shocked. Who was this itinerant cultivator? There had to be an expert behind him.

Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?

Even a Heaven's Blessed Emperor realm cultivator was defeated in three strikes. His strength was beyond imagination.

A young man walked out and blocked Xiao Liang's path.

"Very good. It's rare to see an expert like you among the itinerant cultivators. If you can defeat me, you will pass this test."

The young man held a long spear in his hand.

Discussions could be heard from the crowd.

"It's Xiao Ping from the Xiao family, one of the top geniuses of the Xiao family. I'm afraid the other party's advance will stop here."

"Not only that, Xiao Ping is ruthless. If he loses, he's dead for sure."

"Not necessarily. He definitely has an expert backing him up."

"So what if he has an expert backing him up? Xiao Ping killing him won't break the rules. He has the support of the Xiao family. Would a mere itinerant cultivator expert dare to go against the Xiao family?"

Xiao Liang ignored the discussions.

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a disdainful smile.

"Xiao Ping of the Xiao Family? Just another arrogant coward."

"Do you really want to die?"

Xiao Ping's face was gloomy, and his killing intent surged forth.

Xiao Liang smiled disdainfully and said, "You, Xiao Ping, are narrow-minded. Didn't you come out here to kill me? Even if I beat you, you won't let me pass smoothly."

"Your little schemes are as clear as day."

"Go to hell!"

Xiao Ping suddenly attacked. His spear was as fast as lightning.

He actually tried a sneak attack!

Many people in the crowd revealed contemptuous looks.

Xiao Liang held his spear and did not move. When Xiao Ping's spear was three feet away from his body, it suddenly slowed down.

The slow vine's power of time!

In order to thoroughly defeat Xiao Ping, destroy his state of mind, and suppress his pride, Xiao Liang used slow vine's power for the first time.

When Xiao Ping's attack slowed down, Xiao Liang stabbed him with his spear. It was a very ordinary and simple attack.

However, this ordinary spear strike pierced through Xiao Ping in an instant.

It sent him flying.

From the perspective of the onlookers, Xiao Ping had launched a sneak attack with his spear, but in the end, he was sent flying by the opponent's spear strike.

He was defeated cleanly, without even putting up the slightest trace of resistance.

He performed worse than the previously defeated people.
