Chapter 2872: Registration

"Hehe, Ye Yuan, your alchemy skills are truly divine! We just swaggered through the city like this, and no one recognized us!"

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at Yang Qing and said irritably, "Can you keep a low profile? Do you know if there aren't any Emperor realm experts eavesdropping nearby?"

Yang Qing said nonchalantly, "Emperor realm experts are nothing! In no time, I'll be sweeping them all away!"

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said with a curl of his lip, "Oh, really? Since you're so formidable, you must not need me to refine the Imperial Life Pill for you."

Hearing this, Yang Qing immediately put on a fawning expression and said, "I mean, how could I be so formidable without the grace of Master Ye? In the future, when I, the Azure Sky Sovereign, sweep the world and reign supreme, you will be the Emperor Above All!"

"Shut up!"

"Oh!"

Hmph!

Let you be smug!

When I, Qing, reach the Sovereign realm, I'll make you pay!

At this moment, Ye Yuan and Yang Qing had already crossed the Absolute Heaven Barrier and arrived in a city of the Blood Clan.

The Blood Mimicry Pill was at the Imperial Emperor Pill level, so Yang Qing could naturally take it as well.

The two paraded through the city without any flaw.

Of course, no Blood Clan member would think that someone could completely simulate their aura.

This city was called Julu City, one of the largest cities of the Blood Clan on the Tianyi Continent.

Ye Yuan and the others also received news that the new selection for the Sons of the Lords would be held here.

Every ten years, the Blood Clan would reselect the Hundred Sons of the Saint Emperor and the Hundred Sons of the True Emperor.

The best two hundred Blood Clan members would be sent to the Blood God Hall for focused cultivation.

To uncover the secrets of the Blood Clan, entering the Blood God Hall was naturally the best choice.

However, the Blood Clan's territory now occupied more than two-thirds of the Tai Ming Jade Perfection Heaven.

Their population was naturally extremely large.

When Ye Yuan and the other arrived outside the Absolute Heaven Barrier, they were utterly stunned.

The number of Blood Clan members was truly too many!

The scale of one of their cities was often three to five times that of a Tianyi city!

It wasn't that the Blood Clan was extravagant, but without such a scale, they simply couldn't accommodate so many clansmen.

The Blood Clan reproduced through fission, with an extremely fast reproduction rate.

Ye Yuan and the other estimated that the total population of all Tianyi races combined might not even reach one-tenth of the Blood Clan's!

With so many clansmen, even if the probability of producing strong individuals was low, the absolute number wouldn't be small.

The Blood Clan had ten Blood Emperor-level cities on the Tianyi Continent, and Julu City was one of them.

Julu City would select the twenty strongest individuals to be sent to the Tianjue Blood Emperor City on the Thunderclap Continent for the final selection of the Hundred Sons.

Ye Yuan and the other came precisely for this.

The registration place was at the Battle Arena in the city.

There was a large grandstand there that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people!

At this moment, the Battle Arena was packed to capacity.

Every session of the Battle of the Hundred Sons was a grand feast for the entire Blood Clan, drawing the attention of the whole populace.

Thus, tickets for the Battle Arena were always sold at sky-high prices.

How many strong individuals participated in a Julu City selection?

Eight million Saint Emperor Heaven!

One million True Emperor Heaven!

These numbers seemed frightening, but they weren't really significant.

This selection had no threshold; anyone could participate.

And a Blood Emperor-level city governed a population of tens of billions!

So, the number of Saint Emperor Heaven was far more than eight million.

Thus, most of those who came to participate were quite confident in themselves.

In fact, such a selection was itself a brutal training.

There were many Sons of the Saint Emperor who were originally unknown, but in such a brutal selection, they grew stronger through battles and eventually ranked among the Hundred Sons!

Such examples were not few.

Of course, this number would be truly terrifying when placed in the Tianyi Alliance!

Eight million Sacred Emperor Heavens—that was just the number for a single Blood Emperor-level city.

On the Tianyi Continent, there were ten Blood Emperor-level cities.

What about the other two continents?

Those two continents were complete, entire continents!

"Registration!"

"Name."

"Xue Qing."

The Sacred Emperor Heaven in charge of registration gave Yang Qing a wooden token with his name carved on it.

"Registration!"

"Name."

"Xue Qing," said Ye Yuan.

The registrar was startled and said, "You're also called Xue Qing?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Is there a problem?"

The registrar shook his head and said, "No problem."

With that, he also gave Ye Yuan a token.

Among the Blood Clan, there were extremely many people with the surname Xue, so the name Xue Qing was naturally common.

But the fact that these two people both used the name Xue Qing at the same time made him very surprised.

One was a Sacred Emperor Heaven, the other a True Emperor Heaven, and they seemed to be on good terms.

Yang Qing glared hatefully at Ye Yuan, wishing he could tear him apart.

This guy actually took the same name as him!

For this reason, he had even thrown a huge tantrum at Ye Yuan, but of course, he was ultimately suppressed by Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had once been the Green Sage, so naturally, when choosing a name now, he also wanted to take Xue Qing.

As for Yang Qing, he had originally used Qing as his name, so naturally, he also wanted to take Xue Qing.

Thus, there appeared two Xue Qings.

Yang Qing glared at Ye Yuan and said viciously, "Kid, you'd better not fail to make the top ten and disgrace the name Blood Green!"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "You should be the one worrying, shouldn't you? If you don't get a spot, get the hell back to your hometown!"

Yang Qing sneered, "Ridiculous! If I, the Imperial Exalt, take second place, I'll kill myself on the spot!"

Ye Yuan said flatly, "Too bad there are ten passages; otherwise, I'd take all ten spots myself."

Yang Qing, failing to show off, refused to be outdone: "Me too!"

The two of them, disdainful of each other as if no one else was around, immediately drew glares from a crowd.

These two... were way too arrogant!

Did they take all of us for air?

"Heh, big talk! One at the Great Perfection of True Imperial Heaven, the other only at the Upper Saint Imperial Heaven. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongues?" A person behind them sneered.

Ye Yuan turned to look at him and said flatly, "Big talk? You're trash like this, worthy of my big talk? Too narcissistic!"

"..."

Who the hell is narcissistic?

That person sneered, "Trash? Heh, no one has ever dared to call me that! You probably don't know who I am, do you?"

Ye Yuan shrugged and said flatly, "Not interested in knowing, because it means nothing to me."

"Heh, an ignorant fool who doesn't even know Brother Qiu Yang! He has the strength to contend for the top hundred this time!"

"Who knows which countryside idiot thinks he can still be first when he's in Julu City?"

"Haha, how ridiculous! Even Brother Qiu Yang probably wouldn't dare say what he said. Stupidity is truly a sin!"

"No worries, once we enter the passage, we'll teach him a lesson!"

...

Around them, jeers came from all sides.

Although there were eight million Saint Imperial Heaven experts, many had already made a name for themselves.

Qiu Yang was one of them.

In Julu City, his strength was enough to rank in the top three, making him a strong contender for the spots.

In fact, everyone knew that the ten spots would likely be decided among those twenty or thirty people.

Even if there was a dark horse, it wouldn't be a mere Upper Saint Imperial Heaven.
