According to legend, there were ten disciples in the first batch of the Demon Slayer God. Now only ten have come. As for whether there are others, perhaps only the Demon Slayer God knows.
"Are you the senior brothers?" Ren Tianyong stood up immediately and saluted these old seniors.
"Ren Tianyong, actually you have seen me many times, but you just didn't recognize me." A short-haired man smiled slightly, his smile was a little stiff, and it seemed that he was not a cheerful person. Moreover, he gave people a very strange feeling. First of all, there was no aura on him, which made people feel confused.
The Demon Slayer God said, "These two are my sons. The one with short hair is my eldest son, and the one with long hair is my second son. Please introduce yourselves."
After the four first disciples briefly introduced themselves, Shen Xiang and the others only knew their names and didn't know anything about them.
The eldest son of the Demon Slayer God is named Zu Chao, and the second son is named Zu Ming. Their wives are also disciples of the Demon Slayer God. They grew up together and seem to have some background, otherwise they would not be the first batch of disciples of the Demon Slayer God. Zu Chao's wife is petite, with a sweet smile on her face and a sweet voice. Her name is Yao Shuang. When she introduced herself, she said that she was a junior sister.
Zu Ming's wife said that she was the third child, her name was Liang Yunling, she was beautiful and gave people a very gentle feeling, but she was a little quiet and she spoke the least.
Now Ren Tianyong and his men can be sure that the first batch of disciples of the Demon Slayer God only has four people, which are the two couples in front of them.
"The purpose of holding the competition is not to let your beloved disciples fight each other, but to make progress and find your own shortcomings in the competition! Because such opportunities are rare, and the rules set by the Temple of the Gods are very restrictive, so that everyone cannot deeply understand their own strength. Now is a good opportunity. I believe that after this, the beloved disciples of the gods will definitely improve their state of mind."
The God of Punishment did not announce the rules directly, but first told everyone that it is best to stop when necessary during the competition.
But looking at the current posture of the major temples, this will definitely not be the case. Judging from the murderous looks that the gods in the temples give to each other, it seems as if they will fight to the death at any time.
After the establishment of the Pantheon, even if there were conflicts among the major temples, they could not be resolved through extreme means, because this would require a huge price! For example, declaring war usually required three consecutive declarations, each of which required a lot of god money, and it was not certain that the opponent could be defeated, so this kind of thing rarely happened, and it was usually mediated by the God of Punishment.
If a war is waged privately, then many temples will be besieged.
Therefore, all the grievances accumulated over the years will now be resolved through the outstanding disciples of their own temples. The gods feel that this is the real purpose of the meeting.
"Master, you should have had a competition once before. Didn't your senior sisters and brothers participate at that time?" Ren Tianyong asked.
"No, it was the second batch that went up at that time. This time, for the final victory, I had no choice but to send them out. Although our Demon-Slaying Temple's ranking was not very bad last time, I felt very uncomfortable." said the Demon-Slaying God.
This first batch of disciples actually made their first public appearance, which made Shen Xiang and his team more confident of winning.
"What I'm worried about now is not them, but you little devils. Show your strongest strength and make sure to win. Otherwise, my Taishen Fire Pill will be given to the God of Wealth, and then my punishment on you will definitely be doubled." The Demon Slayer God said threateningly.
Xiao Chou muttered quietly: "Do we really look that weak?"
Fat Old Five touched Xiao Chou's bald head and said with a smile: "We look very weak, but that's a good thing, haha..."
The God of Punishment did not announce the rules, but instead asked someone to bring out a huge stele and place it in the middle of the wide arena below.
The huge monument lit up red, and the names of all the temples present appeared on it.
"Winning a game means one point. After all the competitions are over, the one with the highest score will be ranked first, and only the first place can get the reward." said the God of Punishment.
Only the old gods know these rules. Although Ren Tianyong and his companions are also very old, they are still relatively new to the history of the temples in the world of gods.
"The content of the competition is very comprehensive, with four themes: Dan, Dou, Qi, and Zhen! Dan is about refining elixirs. Dou is a battle competition. Qi is a competition of refining equipment. Zhen is a competition of formations."
There were so many competitions, but Shen Xiang and the others thought it was just a simple battle competition.
"This is a test for the individual, and in terms of comprehensiveness there is also a team battle, which is also a competition to get more points. I will announce the details again after the individual competition is over."
The Demon Slayer frowned and whispered, "So many tricks, it seems like they are not in our favor!"
Yuan Baibing said: "Master, I am good at refining weapons, but what about refining pills?"
Ren Tianyong and the others immediately looked at Zu Chao, Zu Ming and the others, only to see them shaking their heads.
"Master, I only know how to refine holy pills, I don't know if it's possible." Yao Shuang said.
"It depends on what the rules are at that time. If it doesn't work, then don't participate in the alchemy competition. One point less doesn't matter." The Demon Slayer God nodded.
"I also know how to refine pills. Currently, I can only refine lower-grade holy pills. If conditions permit, I would also like to give it a try." If it was just a competition to refine lower-grade holy pills, he was confident that he would win.
Zu Chao and the others didn't know that Shen Xiang knew how to refine the holy pill. Shen Xiang's cultivation was only at the lower level of True God, but he had this level, which was very good.
Yao Shuang is a celestial being. Although she does not take alchemy as her main focus, she also understands that it is not easy to refine holy pills.
The God of Punishment continued to announce the rules, saying, "The first round of the competition is to refine the alchemy! Each temple is only allowed to send five alchemists. As long as you win first place, your temple will get one point."
"All the good alchemists in our Demon-Slaying Temple are hiding very well and we won't be able to find them for a while. Are we really going to waste this chance to score?" The Demon-Slaying God sighed regretfully.
"How can I get first place? Do I need to refine a magic pill?" a god asked loudly.
There are not many Alchemy Gods who can refine divine pills. These Alchemy Gods are not bound by the temples and their whereabouts are usually erratic. Only a few temples can contact these Alchemy Gods, but it is impossible to ask them to participate in the competition.
"It's just refining the holy elixir! Low, medium and high grades are all fine. Now please invite the alchemists from all temples to come in." The God of Punishment replied.
The Demon Slayer looked at Shen Xiang and Yao Shuang, and said: "Go ahead. After all, alchemy is not your specialty. If you lose, I won't punish you!"
With the words of the Demon Slayer Heavenly God, Shen Xiang and the others felt relieved. From the expressions of Zu Chao and Zu Ming, it can be seen that they were also afraid of being punished by the Demon Slayer Heavenly God.
