They are now gathered together to decide the specifics of this year's Climactic Battle. Since the Climactic Battle concerns the dominion over the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, all parties are taking it very seriously and cannot afford to overlook it.
As for the specific methods of the competition, there are particular intricacies involved. Especially now that Tian Ya Ya Ling has emerged rapidly, making a name for itself at an astonishing pace. How to prevent them from growing stronger has become the primary concern for both the Nanshan Sect and the Nanyue Sect. Meanwhile, those Major Powers and empires that benefited during their dominance over Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect also wish to continue supporting Nanyue Sect.
However, those empires and Major Powers that have been suppressed by Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect are determined to overthrow their leadership. They would rather let Tian Ya Ping manage the Dragon Python Celestial Domain.
At this moment, the outcome of this game entirely depends on the upcoming Climactic Battle, making the discussions at this time crucial!
The meeting is chaired by the Emperor of the Southern Prosperity Empire. They will discuss two main issues.
First: The format of the competition.
Second: How to determine the winner. Should it be individual or team-based?
Regarding the first issue, the competition format.
Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens knows that, on average, her Nanyue Sect holds an advantage, but in terms of individual Combat Power, Sky Wanderers have the upper hand. Therefore, they need to think carefully about how to set up the competition format; otherwise, this round will be futile, and Dragon Python Celestial Domain will be completely lost as a result.
Although it may not be possible to definitively determine the final management rights of Dragon Python Celestial Domain through this peak battle alone, being able to conveniently and quickly ascertain who holds supreme management rights is something all parties hope to see.
Thus, Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens and her companions have reached a consensus: they will adopt a round-robin format for the competition! At least for the finals, they will use a round-robin system. This way, they will have more personnel remaining in the end.
Additionally, they will limit the number of participants from Sky Wanderers.
In past Climactic Battles, there has never been a restriction on numbers; however, this time it has been specifically targeted at dealing with Sky Wanderers.
In doing so, Nanyue Sect will hold a significant advantage. Their factions are numerous, allowing them to send more personnel to participate in the battle.
However, Western Celestial Law Ancestor chuckled: "This can be decided by you; you can set regulations on how many people each sect can send to participate in the Climactic Battle. Loose Practitioners can also hold preliminary qualifications. You have your policies; we will have our countermeasures. In fact, against overwhelming strength, these little maneuvers are futile. We will surely achieve victory in the Climactic Battle."
Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens sneered softly; her beautiful face remained stunning despite a fleeting coldness in her expression. Her voice was enchanting: "Senior, since you are not afraid, we are not afraid either. Therefore, there will be no factional or familial restrictions; among those who have passed qualification rounds, each side can select their top five participants. As for Loose Practitioners, only the top three hundred will qualify. Is that acceptable?"
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor smiled brightly and said, "No problem at all." He knew that just from Guan Yue's side, he had already recruited dozens of small aerial forces, meaning that the number of Disciples participating under their name could reach several hundred. To think they could stump the Sky Wanderers with this issue was a dream!
Regarding the second question: what constitutes a victorious acquisition of management rights over the Dragon Python Celestial Domain?
It turned out that historically, the force that secured a spot in the top five would represent their faction in the highest management tier. In other words, those who placed from first to fifth would all gain entry to the highest management level.
This time, however, Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens proposed that the top seven jointly participate in managing the highest tier, as they were concerned that the strongest Combat Power might be monopolized by the Sky Wanderers. Thus, having seven strong individuals in the highest management would ensure that at least one of them would gain entry.
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor did not oppose this idea either, as he shared similar concerns. Regardless, the Sky Wanderers would secure a position in the highest management level.
Once the factions eligible for the highest management were determined, they would then select a primary responsible faction. This was agreed upon by all.
Finally, there was a unified understanding regarding rewards: costs would be shared, standards unified, and substantial prizes awarded to the top seven participants to ensure tangible benefits for them.
After reaching these decisions, they officially announced the aforementioned regulations at the opening ceremony of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain's Climactic Battle. This immediately sparked significant reactions.
Many who had passed preliminary rounds believed they were guaranteed spots in the official competition, only to find out that quotas were allocated based on sect affiliation! This was particularly infuriating for Loose Practitioners' Disciples, as only those ranking within the top three hundred would qualify for the official competition—this was not how it had been done in the past!
However, despite dissenting voices and some unrest, decisions already made had to be enforced! The troublemakers were all expelled.
All parties needed to ensure that participants were affiliated with a sect. Some capable Loose Practitioners were allowed by Guan Yue to compete under their subordinate sects' names since any honor they earned would reflect back on their sects! They were essentially fighting for their sect's glory—what's not to like?
The official competition began.
Although each sect limited their numbers, individual performance statistics were still recorded independently. Team cooperation was not required.
Yet Guan Yue understood that in the end, teamwork would be crucial!
Guan Yue addressed Ouyang Shaohua, Lan Xuelei, Jin Xi, and Lat's Hand: "Pay special attention to Disciples aged between one hundred and two hundred. They are strong and vigorous, with high realms and rich experience. This is when their Combat Power is at its peak. As for Disciples from major sects, we need to guard against their Treasures. And for Loose Practitioners, we must be particularly wary of their unique skills. In short, even when fatigued, do not let your guard down or relax your self-protection. Be very careful; they are all formidable opponents in Heavenly Domain—no pushovers."
Lat's Hand added, "I know many of them conceal their true strength and play weak before seizing opportunities to counterattack."
Jin Xi chimed in, "Disciples from Dragon Python Celestial Domain may not have as many variations in combat as those from Yongning Continent due to their more straightforward tactics; however, their attack power is significantly stronger. We must be especially cautious of Treasures from Major Powers. I almost fell for it while serving as a bodyguard."
Jin Xi said, and everyone laughed, knowing that she had been a bodyguard for a period of time. Lan Xuelei also interjected, "Everyone should pay attention to poison prevention; the Dragon Python Celestial Domain is more skilled in formations and poisons than the Yongning Continent."
Ouyang Shaohua suggested, "Should we let Iron Roar participate? As long as he competes under someone else's name, it will be fine. He will definitely place."
Guan Yue immediately agreed, saying, "Let's use our Watchmen's name and have a qualified Disciple step aside; we will compensate for the loss. This is a good idea; let's do it right away."
Huangfu Jiayin quickly sent someone to handle it.
Guan Yue then called Iron Roar over and informed him that Ouyang Shaohua wanted him to participate in the Dragon Python Heaven Domain's Climactic Battle. Iron Roar hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement, but he pointed out, "As long as Ouyang Shaohua encounters danger, I will stop competing and immediately rescue him."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Because at the Competition Venue, Ouyang Shaohua was basically safe, especially with Guan Yue's protection.
Now that Guan Yue's Watchmen had six strong members, he felt confident about competing for a good ranking in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain's Peak Tournament.
Once the official competition began, there were divisions into winning and losing groups. Guan Yue required Iron Roar, Lan Xuelei, and Lat's Hand to enter the losing group while he, Jin Xi, and Ouyang Shaohua entered the winning group.
He wanted to ensure that both groups had his people competing for the final face-off.
Participating in the Climactic Battle were also Fire Red Girl Hu Hui, Little Red Fish, Fang Buchang, Wukong God, Ruo Gang, Mo Huatian, Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Ruyi Girl, Futian Shangren, Great Wilderness Beast: Celestial Master, Shadow Wind Palm, Xiao Fei, Xuanyuan Wujie, Lei Zhenxiao, Feng Zhi Yi, Long Chuanliu, Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens, Loyalty Gate; even Lu Qing couldn't resist joining the Climactic Battle.
Regretless Sage had previously met with Crimson Hair and her sisters and had also joined Tai Dou Pavilion.
