Chapter 182 Preliminaries
Zhao Mu, who didn't realize that he had missed a big opportunity, returned home after leaving the Fanxing Holy Ground.
He poured out the things in the storage ring and checked them carefully.
The ten Treasure Pills were all good stuff.
Among them, Zhao Mu was most concerned about a fifth-grade Treasure Pill, the Spiritual Tattoo Fire Pill. It was a rare pill that could improve the Spiritual Root, especially the Fire Spiritual Root. It was suitable for Zhao Mu.
Although his Fire Spiritual Root had reached the best grade, there was still room for improvement.
The other pills were also good, but they were not very useful for Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu took the Spiritual Tattoo Fire Pill, summoned the little bastard, and used it to get a return reward.
His luck was average. He only triggered a hundredfold return and got a sixth-grade Spiritual Tattoo Fire Pill.
The pill didn't change, but its grade was improved.
Anyway, it was free, so Zhao Mu wasn't greedy.
With two Spiritual Tattoo Fire Pills in hand, Zhao Mu swallowed them without hesitation.
This kind of pill didn't need to be refined. It worked in the body for a long time and gradually strengthened the Spiritual Root.
After taking it, Zhao Mu didn't need to pay attention. He just needed to wait for a few months and his Spiritual Root would naturally be improved.
If the best Spiritual Root was upgraded, it should be the Transcendent Spiritual Root. There were very few cultivators with this kind of Spiritual Root, and there were few records even in books.
Zhao Mu didn't have any expectations. In short, it was a good thing that his Spiritual Root could be improved. In that way, all the Magical Skills of the Fire Element would be strengthened, and the power of the Dharma Form would also be strengthened.
Then, Zhao Mu took out the three Taoist Treasures.
The first one was called the Azure Purple Sword, a third-grade Taoist Treasure Flying Sword, which was one grade higher than the second-grade Evil Crossing Sword in his hand.
Taoist Treasures were rare. It was a bit extravagant for Zhao Mu to have two Taoist Treasure Flying Swords at the same time. Moreover, Zhao Mu was not proficient in swordsmanship, so he had no motivation to practice swordsmanship. After all, his talent was mainly in the fire element. Proficiency in fire element was the most suitable path for him.
"The color of the Azure Purple Sword seems to match the Empress of Qing Yun. I'll give it to her."
Although they had established a relationship, he still needed to improve her favorability.
Zhao Mu directly found Tang Qing and handed the Azure Purple Sword to her. He didn't care if she accepted it or not. He was that domineering.
"The quality of this flying sword is not bad. It should be very suitable for the Sword Trial Conference. But where did you get it?
It's a third-grade Taoist Treasure Flying Sword.
Zhao Mu didn't hide anything and told her about how he helped Bai Muxue transcend her tribulation.
"Bai Muxue … I've heard of this person. She's quite capable. If she could join the Saint Prime Devil Sect, it would definitely be a good thing for the sect. You're quite considerate of me. But there's no need to force it. Experts like her have their own pride.
Tang Qing said with a smile and kept the flying sword.

The Azure Purple Sword was a good item. It was the bane of dragons. Unfortunately, he couldn't use it now.
The Empress of Qing Yun continued to cultivate. Zhao Mu returned to the living room and checked the second defensive treasure.
It was average. Although it was of good quality, its effect was not as good as his Great Formless Protection Golden Body.
He would give it to someone else.
The last treasure was useful to Zhao Mu. It was an invisibility cloak.
By draping it over one's body, one would be able to conceal oneself from sight, making it impossible for one's Spiritual Perception to detect.
However, the cloak was only effective for cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm. Cultivators above the Void Refinement Realm could see through illusions. This cloak would not be effective.
Anyway, it was useful. He would keep it.
Furthermore, he could use it to obtain rewards. If he obtained a higher quality concealment Dharma treasure, wouldn't it be even more useful?
In the blink of an eye, four days had passed.
Today was the day of the preliminaries of the Black Tortoise group. Zhao Mu and Tang Qing walked together and arrived at the venue of the preliminaries.
As the preliminaries approached, there were already about two thousand cultivators gathered here.
Zhao Mu did a quick check and did not find the aura of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator. However, he could not guarantee that there was no Tribulation Transcendence cultivator hiding their cultivation level to participate in the Sword Trial Assembly.
No matter what, it was better to be careful.
Tang Qing's strength had not fully recovered and he was still in a state where he could not freely control his spirit qi. Therefore, he still had to rely on himself for the battle.
If Tang Qing were to take action, a large number of participants would probably die today.
After the Sword Immortal Pavilion disciple announced the rules of the preliminaries, he opened a door to the mystic realm and sent all the participants into the mystic realm.
The mystic realm was extremely vast and one could not see the end of it. There were a large number of demonic beasts and ferocious beasts inside and many hidden mechanisms and arrays.
The way to pass the preliminaries was very simple. It was to see who reached the end of the mystic realm first.
The end.
A speed race, right?
"During the preliminaries, you are forbidden from using your own flying sword. You are only allowed to use the flying sword provided by the Sword Immortal Pavilion."
After saying that, a rain of swords fell from the sky. A black flying sword landed in front of all the participants.
It was a grade one flying sword. The craftsmanship was rough and there were cracks on the sword. It looked like it was made from a standard forging and had been used countless times.
Many contestants grumbled when they received the black flying swords.
This thing would probably split apart halfway through the flight.
The organizer did not care about this and announced the start of the preliminaries.
The participants moved very quickly. In an instant, thousands of people flew out on their flying swords.
Zhao Mu was not in a hurry. He might as well let these people scout ahead.
The elimination rate of the preliminaries was 90%. It was definitely not as simple as flying all the way. There were bound to be a lot of hidden dangers along the way. It was not a good thing to rush to the front.
"Ah …"
"Damn it, so many bees."
"Help, I'm surrounded by flying centipedes."
Sure enough, after a while, screams could be heard.
It had only just begun, but over a hundred people had already fallen off their flying swords and were tragically eliminated.
At this moment, Zhao Mu and Tang Qing rose into the air on their swords and began to accelerate.
Tang Qing seemed to be controlling the flying sword alone, but she could not control it with her spiritual power. In fact, Zhao Mu was helping her to control the flying sword.
One person controlling two flying swords was a great test of Zhao Mu's spiritual energy and control. Even so, Zhao Mu quickly caught up with the group and overtook them all the way. Soon, she rushed to the front of the group and still had energy to spare.
In any case, it was just the preliminaries. There was no need to fight for a ranking. It was fine as long as they didn't get eliminated.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew.
A huge golden-winged roc blocked the way in front of the group.
"What the hell? It's actually a great demonic beast at the Void Refining Stage. Is the preliminaries so serious?"
"If you're not in the Divine Transformation Realm, step back. Otherwise, you can't blame others if you lose your life."
"Fellow Daoists, don't dawdle. Quickly join forces with me to kill the Peng."
