<strong><u>Chapter 1178: Main Event</u></strong>


    This ce was a stadium that was sorge that it caused one to feel astounded. A densely packed sea of people covered the ground as far as one could see. An earth-shaking, boiling noise resounded across the sky like the roar of arge dragon. Under this terrifying sonic wave, even the cloudyer in the sky had been destroyed until only pieces were left...


    Many stone tforms floated in the air above the square. These stone tforms were the most dazzling because the final face-off of this Pill Gathering would ur on them.


    After the somewhat low spirits of thest few days, the liveness of the square had undoubtedly reached a peak because today was the day the the Pill Realm was opening. Only those alchemists who had sessfully walked out of the Pill Realm would possess the qualification to continue participating in the Pill Gathering!


    The atmosphere of the open ground was fiery hot. A countless number of gazes were focused on the middle of the square. There was an enormous door that was constructed using ck rocks at that spot. The spatial ripple at therge door had revealed a distorted feeling. This was the exit of the Pill Realm. Soon after, thepetitors who had sessfully passed the second hurdle would be walking out of there...


    The Little Fairy Doctor’s group’s eyes were focused on therge spatial door on the tall stage of the stadium. Their faces contained a slight anxiety. Although they were confident in Xiao Yan’s abilities, they were also aware of the intensity of thepetition in the Pill Realm...


    “Ke ke, there is no need to worry. Manypetitors have shattered their spatial stones ande out during this period of time. If Xiao Yan hade out, he would definitely havee looking for us.” Ye Zong by the side smiled when he saw their eyes, so he spoke in aforting manner. Immediately, he felt that these words were not really appropriate. He drylyughed and said, “Moreover, with Xiao Yan’s intelligence, passing the second hurdle should not be much of a problem.”


    The Little Fairy Doctor could only helplessly shake her head in the face of Ye Zhong’sfort. She was just about to speak when her pretty eyes suddenly swept to the square. The spatial door at the spot had suddenly emitted waves of intense spatial ripples.


    “Therge spatial door has been opened!”


    The sea of people that stretched endlessly immediately emitted a soul-stirring cheer when the spatial ripple appeared. Immediately, a countless number of heated eyes swung around. After which, they paused on therge spatial door.


    All the eyes present looked down as the fluctuation from the spatial door became more intense. In the end, numerous figures began to slowly walk out. Their legsnded on the ground of the square amid the cheers of everyone present.


    A deafening cheer erupted from the viewing gallery when they watched thesepetitors sessfullye out. Those who could arrive at this ce were already considered among the top alchemists across the entire continent. Even if they were to give up participating in thepetition now, they would still be treated as VIPs by some factions.


    The cheers grew louder as more and more human figures walked out of the spatial door one after another. Therge square trembled under this terrifying sound.


    “Bang!”


    The spatial door rippled once again. Immediately, an extremely eye-catching, graceful figure slowly walked out. Finally, the figure was exposed under the warm sunlight. Immediately, the cheers in the arena reached a high tide. The name Cao Ying was quite renowned. Everyone knew that she had the ability topete for the champion spot this time around.


    Compared to Cao Ying, the limelight that Song Qing enjoyed was clearly dimmer. Even though he was also considered a genius, he ultimately had difficultypeting with the limelight of demonic talent.


    Arge group of people walked out after Cao Ying. However, the Little Fairy Doctor’s group was unable to find Xiao Yan’s figure no matter how they searched. Her pretty face immediately changed a little and her hands involuntarily tightened. If any ident were to ur to Xiao Yan within the Pill Realm, it was difficult to imagine just what kind of madness she would descend into...


    Ye Zhong by the side did not dare to say anything as he looked at the Little Fairy Doctor’s darkening face. His heart was beginning to feel uncertain. The greatest enemy within the Pill Realm was not the Magical Beasts within it but the otherpetitors. In order to enable oneself to gain an additional chance to seed, some strong people would likely kill thepetitors who could threaten them...


    Other ces were filled with joyful, earth-shaking cheers, but this small area appeared exceptionally quiet. At this moment, even Tian Huo zun-zhe had involuntarily knit his eyebrows. His finger, which had originally been ced together, had parted without him realizing it.


    The spatialrge door once again rippled when the hearts of the Little Fairy Doctor and the rest had sunk. A skinny figure slowly appeared. Finally, he stepped out of therge spatial door andnded on the ground.


    “It’s big brother Xiao Yan!”


    Xin Lan hurriedly cried out. A joy quickly surfaced on her face when she saw this skinny figure.


    The hearts of the Little Fairy Doctor’s group shook when they heard her voice. Their eyes swiftly looked over and did indeed see an unusually familiar figure. Immediately, the few of them sighed in relief.


    “Ke ke, I have already said that it is impossible for Xiao Yan to not be able to pass this second hurdle with his strength...” The heavy burden in Ye Zhong’s heart was lifted at this moment as heughed.


    Xiao Yan, who was walking out of therge spatial door, suddenly turned his eyes over while everything was sighing in relief. He immediately smiled and nodded to the group.


    “This fellow...”


    The Little Fairy Doctor involuntarily shook her head and spoke in a soft, helpless manner when she saw Xiao Yan’s energetic appearance.


    Xiao Yan was involuntarily a little absent-minded as he heard the surrounding loud voices from the middle of the square. The time he had spent within the Pill Realm had indeed been quiet, but it had seemed to becking something. Only now that he had left did he realize that the Pill Realmcked people.


    Xiao Yan’s eyes swept in all directions as he stood on the square. He looked at the spatialrge door that was still continuously spitting out people. His eyes involuntarily became a little surprised. The numbers on this square reached at least a thousand. He did not expect so many people tost after those two elimination rounds. An alchemist gathering involving such numbers was something that even the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Grand Meeting back then was far from being able topare with. Of course, this was not only in terms of numbers. There was also a difference in quality. Any random person in this ce would easily be able to be the champion of that Alchemist Grand Meeting...


    Xiao Yan’s sweeping eyes suddenly paused on the highest seats in the square a momentter. That spot contained a vast, mighty aura that caused even Xiao Yan to feel some pressure.


    “The three giant heads of the Pill Tower huh...”


    Xiao Yan’s eyes swept over those three figures. He was a little startled because he discovered the pretty woman in cheongsam, whom he had never met before, carefully studying him.


    Although Xiao Yan had never met this pretty woman, he was aware of her status just from the ce she was standing. His heart was slightly shocked. An existence of this level was not someone the current him could offend. Hence, he did not dare to pause his eyes for too long. All he did was nce over before quickly shifting his eyes away...


    “Is he Xiao Yan? Yao Chen’s disciple?”


    The pretty woman stared at Xiao Yan from the tall tform, which had everyone’s attention, before she suddenly inquired.


    “Ha ha, yup, he’s Xiao Yan...” Xuan Kong Zi by the side smiled and nodded. His eyes swept over Xiao Yan and his expression suddenly changed. A surprised gasp was emitted from his mouth.


    “Have you discovered it? The spiritual ripple of this little fellow seems to be a little unusual. If I have guessed correctly, he should have already touched the Soul State...” The pretty woman slightly smiled and softly spoke.


    “It does have some appearance of the Soul State...” The dark-skinned elder by her side also nodded in a somewhat stern manner. Surprise shed across his face as he said, “The eyesight of this old fellow Yao Chen is really good. How envious...”


    “If he has really advanced to the soul state, even Cao Ying and Dan Chen would have some difficulty defeating him in this Pill Gathering...” The pretty womanughed.


    Xuan Kong Zi nodded. Xiao Yan had not given him such a feeling when he hadst met him. Clearly, this kind of transformation should be rted to this trip to the Pill Realm.


    “Ugh. Can it really be so tough to beat that old fellow once...”


    The spatial door in the square continued to ripple for nearly half an hour before it finally slowed. The distorted space ripple slowly disappeared. The spatialrge door once again recovered its calmness.


    The number ofpetitors in the square had increased significantly by the time the spatial door was shut. This caused Xiao Yan’s heart to be slightly startled. These people seemed to be outstanding alchemist who hade from all over the Dou Qi continent. One would have to step over the heads of all these people in order to be the Pill Gathering champion. That person would have to climb up step-by-step until they reached the peak!


    The originally noisy square had be much quieter the moment therge spatial door was shut. Everyone knew that what urred next would be the main event of this Pill Gathering!


    Xuan Kong Zi’s eyes swept over the square from the tall stage. His gentle cough resounded by the side of everyone’s ears, causing everyone’s eyes to gather on him.


    “First of all, congrattions to all of you who are able to stand here. You have all passed the second round of eliminations... however, you should all be aware that this next round is the most important event of the Pill Gathering. The one who can stand until the end will be the champion this time around!


    “The stone tforms in the sky are the stages for you to perform. Hopefully, you will be able to unleash the brightest moment in your life at that spot!


    “Glory will be born amid all of you!”


    This short speech was just like the spark that lit the explosives. Suddenly, the open ground boiled!


    The grandest meeting within the alchemist world had finally arrived at this moment!
