"Tan Tiangui?"

"It's a fake core cultivator."

"A mere fake pill doesn't matter. However, this information is still insufficient. It is impossible for such a genius to suddenly appear. We must find out where he came from. " Patriarch Seven ordered.

The General Ying Wu nodded and said, "This subordinate knows."

Then, the General Ying Wu opened his mouth and said, "When this subordinate was investigating Cheng Fei's background, this subordinate discovered that when he was in Qing Xu Sect, he had clashed with Hong Yuan and Hong Ming of Hong Family and even killed two of their disciples."

"Hong Family?" Seventh Elder suspiciously looked at General Ying Wu, who nodded. Seventh Elder laughed disdainfully, "Hong Family has been getting more and more useless over these years. Now, even the number one genius has been killed, so there's no need to care."

The Seventh Elder was after all, the patriarch of the Zi family. Although he could not ignore the Hong Family, he did not put the two insignificant disciples of the Hong Family in his eyes!

"You take care of Hong Family, you just need to find out Cheng Fei's background. If his background is clean, then try your best to absorb him into the clan." Patriarch Seven said at last.

General Ying Wu cupped his fists and replied: "Yes, this subordinate will investigate everything as soon as possible."

With that, the General Ying Wu prepared to leave.

"Halt." Seventh Elder seemed to recall something again. General Ying Wu turned his head around, and heard Patriarch Seven frowning: "Go and inquire about Tan Tiangui again. Although it's just a fake pill, you should still pay more attention."

"This subordinate understands!"

General Ying Wu withdrew.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, the day when the second stage of Genius Competition began arrived.

The first stage of Genius Competition was the arena battle. The top ten rankers from each stage, for a total of eighteen thousand people, advanced to the second stage of Genius Competition.

A total of 1.7 million people participated in the first stage, and in the end, only 18,000 managed to advance into the next stage. This ridiculous elimination rate was a specialty of the Genius Competition.

In the end, the Genius Competition s only came for the sake of choosing a spot in the jungle dungeon s.

Every fifty years, the jungle dungeon s would have a hundred spots. However, there were ten core slots.

Different from ordinary slots, when the core slots entered the jungle dungeon, they would immediately appear in the inner region and occupy a huge advantage.

Thus, these ten spots were designated by the six great clans.

If these ten core slots were given to the various great clans of Da Xuan City to divide, there would be no proper way to split it. Every family would try their best to fight for their family's children. This way, they would inevitably fall into a deadlock or even clash with each other.

Thus, the clans with the six major clans as the leaders proposed to hold the Genius Competition s to choose these ten spots. No family was allowed to have any objections to the outcome of the Genius Competition. In truth, this sort of method was extremely beneficial to large clans like the six great clans. They had the most resources, and if the descendants of the clans were able to obtain the best training, then naturally many geniuses would appear.

Just like this year's Genius Competition, every clan of the six great clans had at least one or two geniuses who had the chance to fight for the spots. This was indeed the case. Out of every ten spots in the Genius Competition, at least half of the disciples from the six great clans were allocated, and there were even a few that had their spots filled up by the disciples from the six great clans.

At the same time, in order to protect the geniuses who obtained the spots, the six great families also made a rule that even if one of the ten great geniuses of jungle dungeon died, the Da Xuan City would not be replaced.

This rule was undoubtedly excellent, eliminating all schemes with bad intentions.

"There are 18,000 people who advanced to the second stage. Of these 18,000 people, 95% of them are level 8, and only a few are Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage cultivators. As for level 5 and 6 Foundation Establishment cultivators, due to the huge gap in strength, none of them were able to advance." Cheng Xianer introduced to Cheng Fei.

"A few Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage cultivators?" Cheng Fei looked at Cheng Xianer in difference and asked, "Other than me, are there others who have advanced to the second stage of Genius Competition with the strength of the Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage?"

Cheng Fei knew the rules of the arena battle, there was no way he could get lucky. Every cultivator who could advance, had at least two rounds of battles with opponents who were one or two ranks higher than him. Under these circumstances, any Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage Ranker who could advance would definitely be able to fight those above their rank.

"Yes, other than Young Noble, there are four more Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage Cultivators that advanced to the second stage of Genius Competition. They have also received a lot of attention from the various big families." Cheng Xianer replied.

"There are still four Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage cultivators." After Cheng Fei heard this, he couldn't help but rub his nose, and then shook his head and laughed, "The geniuses of Da Xuan City are like a myriad of stars, it wouldn't be excessive if a few more powerful ones appeared."

He, Cheng Fei, was not the only one who could obtain such fortuitous encounters.

"Let's talk about the competition for the second stage of Genius Competition." These past few days, Cheng Fei had always been staying at the inn.

"Second stage of Genius Competition, called Sky Stairway!"

There were countless strong cultivators in the eight great sects, and when the strong warriors reached the cavity deficiency level, they could open up their inner world.

After the inner world has expanded and expanded, after reaching Spirit Severing and Body Fusion, the inner world has reached the small success stage, and after falling, the inner world can also be preserved.

These Rankers also left a lot of small worlds, and the Da Xuan City also had a lot of small worlds.

The small world left behind after the death of a powerhouse of the ninth stage of cavity deficiency was transformed into a hundred and eight steps, called Heaven Stairway.

On every step of the Heaven Stairway, a powerhouse of the ninth stage of the cavity deficiency used a mysterious technique to leave behind the will to fight! As the height of the steps increased, the will to fight on the steps grew stronger.

When the younger generation of cultivators ascended the stairs, they would be dragged into the virtual battlefield by the will of battle. Only by defeating the opponents of the virtual battleground could they ascend to the next step.

Da Xuan City called this place Sky Stairway!

"Eighteen thousand Sky Stairway s together, in the end, the last one hundred of us will advance to the third and final stage!"

Cheng Xianer told everything she knew in a single breath.

First stage of Genius Competition, Challenge Tournament!

Second stage of Genius Competition, Sky Stairway!

Cheng Fei heaved a sigh of relief.

Challenge Tournament, Sky Stairway!

Many of the geniuses of the Da Xuan City only joined the Genius Competition to show off their skills in front of the numerous cultivators of the Da Xuan City. However, during the arena battle stage, only a very small number of geniuses would be known, and only by entering the second stage of Genius Competition, that was the beginning of being famous in the Da Xuan City.

Nowadays, all the famous top experts in the Da Xuan City, as well as the powerful upper echelons, all walked out from the Genius Competition, starting from the Sky Stairway.

At the same time, the Heaven Stairway, which the Da Xuan City had spent a lot of money, materials and manpower to build, was also very helpful in increasing her strength. After passing the Heaven Stairway, the cultivators' powers more or less increased.
