”Heavens, what kind of skill is that?”
”That is too powerful! His wings are made of black flames, totally terrifying!”
”Is that person from Fire Country?”
”Looking at where he's headed, he should be attending the Imperial Tombs Contest!”
”Let's hurry up and go there as well to check out who that powerful man is.”
”The back view of that man is eerily similar to the young man who was grilling the chicken wings that night…”
”Come, we should go and take a look…”
Many cultivators sped up. Some were travelling on flying swords, some driving divine chariots, but all were headed towards the Imperial Tombs!
...
At the same time, the entrance of the Imperial Tombs was already packed with people!
Besides the cultivators who had come to participate in the contest, there were others who had come here to spectate. There were also countless guards guarding the Imperial Tombs and maintaining law and order.
Obviously, the Imperial Tombs Contest was a very important event!
Everyone knew that this contest would matter greatly for the princes who were vying for the position of Crown Prince. No doubt the competition would be heated, and accidents might occur. More guards had therefore been sent to the Imperial Tombs in the hopes of avoiding or reducing the number of casualties!
The Imperial Tombs Contest for the princes this year might even be the most exciting one ever in history!
The princes who were competing for the position had expended great effort or paid a tremendous price to invite renowned elite cultivators to join their teams and attempt the contest together!
According to the rules, as long as one person in the team passed a checkpoint, that meant the whole team would have passed that round of the contest!
And so, in every team, there were basically one to two people who had skills suitable for specific checkpoints!
Some were highly proficient in driving divine chariots whereas some were good at weapon forging. There were even elites in the event whose names were well-known but were hardly ever seen by the public. This was, in a way, a gathering of the elites!
”Look! That's Zhang Lin who is reputed to be the World's Greatest Chariot King. Everybody calls him Chariot King Zhang. His skill at controlling divine chariots is pretty much right at the top!”
”Heavens! Even Chariot King Zhang is here, and he's standing together with the Second Prince. He must be here to help him!”
”Wait, look at the Eighth Prince's team!”
”Woah, it's the Ghost of Divine Chariot, Qi Yun Fei. He's here too?”
”This guy's Soul Strength is very powerful. I've heard that his skills are not in any way inferior to Chariot King Zhang!”
”That's not all! Look over there at the Eldest Prince, there's also someone strong!”
”Tsk… it's Gao Qiao Jie! The Number One Genius from Spirit Treasures Pavilion!”
”That guy's divine chariot is the best in Metal Nation. It is said to be the most valuable treasure of the Spirit Treasures Pavilion. If he's here, how will anyone else win the race against him?”
”It's only the first round of the contest and there are already so many talented elites and geniuses. I can't wait for the contest to begin!”
As the crowd discovered the identities of the famous elites and geniuses, they became filled with enthusiasm!
But soon, some people noticed the Third Prince's predicament and were puzzled.
”Hey, look at the Third Prince's team, there isn't any expert with him who seems suited for handling the first round!”
”I heard that the Third Prince has sought help from Xu Que from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Apparently that guy is very strong and efficient at controlling his divine chariot. I hear he owns a divine chariot that can even transform!”
”But didn't that guy go missing? For the past two days, the Third Prince and the Seventh Princess have been searching for him, but to no avail!”
”Looks like the Third Prince is at a disadvantage this time!”
”Yeah, although there is a fixed quota for entering the Imperial Tombs, the contest this time is really about the fight for the position of Crown Prince. The teams will accumulate points according to their ranking at every checkpoint. The prince whose team has the most points will become Crown Prince!”
