Chapter 680 The Competition Is About to Begin, Black Box

Another eight days of busyness passed quietly, as if it was just a snap of the fingers.

However, for the whole Dagan Dynasty, these eight days seemed particularly long.

In another day, the highly anticipated Dagan Dynasty Centennial Competition will officially kick off.

At this time, the entire imperial city was shrouded in a unique atmosphere of tension and expectation.

In the streets and alleys, whether they were cultivators from a certain force or casual cultivators with no background, they gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other, and the sound of discussion came one after another.

They were all guessing who would be the final winner of this competition.

In the palace, the ministers were like busy bees, shuttling back and forth, nervously preparing for various matters of the competition.

They carefully checked every link, not missing any details, and strived to be perfect.

From the arrangement of the competition process to the reception of the contestants, from the seating arrangement of the audience to the security measures, every task was carefully planned and executed.

The magnificent competition venue has been set up. The towering stands are like towering mountains, showing the majesty and solemnity of the royal family.

The colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, and the colorful flags seemed to tell the glory and honor of the competition.

The crowd around the competition venue was increasing like a tide. They came from all directions, excited and eager to witness this once-in-a-century event.

Some even occupied a favorable position early just to watch the game better.

Some people excitedly discussed the upcoming exciting duel, their eyes full of expectations.

Inside the palace, the emperor was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe and paced back and forth in the palace.

Although his face remained majestic, his eyes revealed an unconcealable worry.

He was always worried in his heart, wondering whether this competition could lead out the people from Xuantian Palace, and whether he could catch them all.

It was unknown whether the preparations made by Prince Kang and others in secret would work.

Everything is still in the planning, and everything is still unknown.

The emperor stopped, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

This prosperous city is about to usher in a thrilling event, and the result of this event may affect the future direction of the Dagan Dynasty.

At this time, the ministers came to report on the preparations for the competition.

Each of them had a serious and serious face, knowing the importance of this competition.

The emperor listened carefully to every detail, sometimes frowning slightly, and sometimes nodding in approval.

He raised his own questions and suggestions from time to time, and strictly required every link.

The importance of this competition cannot tolerate any mistakes, and it must be foolproof.

"Your Majesty, the defense formation of the competition field has been checked again and again to ensure that there will be no accidents." A minister said respectfully.

The emperor nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Well, this competition is related to the reputation of my Dagan Dynasty, and there must be no mistakes."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we have arranged the most elite guards to be responsible for security." Another minister added.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "This competition is of great importance. I hope that all of you will do your best. If it can be successfully held and outstanding talents can be selected for the dynasty, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

The ministers responded in unison: "We will do our best to live up to your majesty's trust."

Then, the ministers left one by one, and the palace returned to a brief tranquility.

However, the emperor's worries did not dissipate.

Shortly after the ministers left, the emperor met with Prince Kang alone.

After the two met, their expressions were very serious, although no one knew what they were discussing.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that their conversation was very important.

……

Space of All Things.

Nothing special happened in the past few days, and no one came to disturb him, so Chen Ze was happy to immerse himself in cultivation.

In addition to cultivation every day, he would listen to music and relax.

At this time, Chen Ze was still sitting cross-legged in the automatic practice room.

He closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy around him was like a light mist, slowly surrounding him.

His mind was completely immersed in the state of cultivation, and anything that happened in the outside world had nothing to do with him at this moment.

Finally, today's cultivation time has arrived.

Chen Ze slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Hahaha, it seems that my strength has become much stronger, cool!" Chen Ze couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

Then, the attribute panel appeared in front of his eyes, and he roughly looked at the various values ​​on the panel.

"Now the proficiency of the Nine Yang True Fire Art has been raised to the perfect level, and practicing once can increase 27 points of cultivation.

Tomorrow, practice for another half a day, and the cultivation points to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Realm should be enough.

In the future, I don't have to practice for such a long time every day. It's enough to practice with a phantom for 24 hours."

Chen Ze was thinking in his heart, and Xiaoping's voice sounded in his mind.

"Master, are you done with your practice? Please let me know when you are done. I have something to report to you."

Hearing Xiaoping's voice, Chen Ze thought about it in his heart, and soon guessed the reason why Xiaoping came to him.

He left the automatic training room without hesitation.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Xiaoping and Xiaoan.

Xiaoping and Xiaoan saluted when they saw Chen Ze suddenly appear.

Their faces were full of respect and they said, "Master, why did you come here in person? Just let us know and we'll come to find you."

"No problem." Chen Ze chuckled and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Master, it's nothing serious. It's just that the supplies for the grocery store are not enough." Xiaoping replied.

Chen Ze nodded slightly, "Okay, I see. I'll go and exchange a batch of them later, and then I'll need you to sort them out."

"Master, these are what we should do."

Chen Ze smiled and said, "Are there any other things?"

Xiaoping and the others did have other things to do, otherwise if it was just exchanging supplies, there would be no need to send a message to Chen Ze.

"Master, there's one more thing. Just now when we were sorting out the supplies, we found that the spiritual energy fluctuations of an item were a bit abnormal. We dare not classify it without authorization, and we need you to decide."

Chen Ze frowned slightly, "Take it out for me to see."

Xiaoping and Xiaoan looked at each other, and then Xiaoan carefully took out the item.

This is a seemingly ordinary black box, but there is a mysterious spiritual fluctuation around the box.

The spiritual fluctuation is very strange, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.

Chen Ze took the box and looked at it carefully.

The surface of the box is engraved with some ancient and mysterious patterns, which are intricate, like an ancient map, and like a mysterious symbol.

Chen Ze tried to use his spiritual power to sense the situation inside the box, but was blocked by a powerful force.

That force is like a solid barrier, making his spiritual power unable to penetrate.

"This box is not simple." Chen Ze whispered, "Where did you find this box?"

Xiaoping quickly replied: "Master, we found it when we were sorting out the supplies collected by other brothers.

At first, we didn't notice anything unusual, but in the process of sorting.

Suddenly felt a strange spiritual fluctuation, and then found this box."
