"Everyone should know that fighting in the Heavenly Battlefield is a test of one's overall strength, not just cultivation!" Ouyang Xu said, "The opponents are from the Angel World, do you think they will openly fight you in a ring?"

The crowd exchanged glances, and someone shouted, "But the previous selections were..."

"It was precisely because we realized this that we changed the rules!" Ouyang Xu said.

"Hmph, nice words, but isn't it just a way to keep the quota under the control of the families?" A master of the Divine Sea Realm said sarcastically.

Ouyang Xu remained calm, "The selection will be held in the Qiankun Furnace, everyone is assigned randomly, so there is no behavior of grouping from the start!"

"That's true, but who can guarantee they won't group together once inside?" another person interjected.

Ouyang Xu coldly glanced at that person and said, "Do you think participating in the Heavenly Battlefield is a game? Want absolute fairness? I really don't know how you've cultivated to this point; this is not a greenhouse, no one will care about your feelings! If you want fairness, strive for it with your own strength!"

Saying this, Ouyang Xu's expression turned grim, "The words have been said, everyone should go back and think about it. Instead of wasting time here, consider increasing your chances of winning! One more thing... this time, we overlook the incident of storming the Divine Might General's residence, but if it happens again..."

The words were left unfinished, but the crowd felt as if a chilling breeze swept through their hearts.

It was at this moment they realized, this is the Divine Court, this is the Divine Might General's residence, not a place where they can run wild.

"Although only at the early stage of Divine Realm cultivation, yet possessing a stronger aura than the Divine Sea Realm!" Ling Feng watched from afar, unable to help but sigh, "But are the experts of the Divine Court really this straightforward?"

In the remaining time, Ling Feng found a random inn to stay in and waited for the day of the selection to arrive.

He also wanted to find Yan Feishuang and Situ, but the Divine Court was simply too large, with numerous experts within. Ling Feng thought for a moment and decided to wait until the day of the selection to make a move!

They too were to participate in the selection; perhaps they might meet then!

During the remaining time, Ling Feng learned a lot about the Divine Court and gained some understanding of the distribution of forces within it.

The Divine Court is the organization that rules the Divine Realm, similar to the court of Huaxia in ancient times. The Divine Emperor, as the controller of the Divine Court, is also the real ruler of the Divine Realm!

Under the Divine Emperor are five Divine Generals, namely Divine Might General, General Ling Wei, Suppression Might General, Killing Might General, and General Zhenwei!

The five Divine Generals are all Azure Sky Realm experts, guarding the east, west, south, and north of the Divine Realm respectively, with Divine Might General stationed at the Central Divine Court to protect the Divine Emperor.

Currently, except for General Ling Wei, the other three generals are in their respective territories and not in the Central Divine Court.

Apart from the power of the Divine Court, there are also many families with influence in the Divine Court, some of which have a long heritage and significant influence, including the Siteli Family!

In simple terms, within the Central Divine Court, Divine Realm is as common as dogs, Divine Sea walking everywhere; accidentally bump into someone, and they might be a Divine Sea Realm expert!

After gathering enough information, Ling Feng stayed in the inn and quietly cultivated, preparing to rest up for the selection.

"Finally, I'm out!" A young man stumbled out from the outskirts of the Heavenly Punishment Forest, looking extremely disheveled, with his clothes not even as good as the shabbiest beggar's attire.

This person was naturally Ouyang Ting, punished to enter the Heavenly Punishment Forest!

In these nearly twenty days, since he parted ways with Ling Feng, he felt like all his luck was drained; every day, a large number of monster beasts chased him as if he had disturbed their lair!

Only when Ouyang Ting's outer clothes were torn to shreds did this situation stop!

At that time, he knew, all this must be the work of that damned dog, as earlier the damned dog had splashed a few drops of dog urine on his outer clothes!

"Hmph, when I have cultivated successfully, I will definitely come back!" Ouyang Ting gritted his teeth and said, "Damned dog, when I find you, I will chop you into pieces, mark my words!"

"But the urgent matter is to hurry back, as the selection is about to start!" Ouyang Ting looked disdainfully at his attire, then sighed and walked outside.

The selection is held in the Qiankun Furnace, which is said to be a divine artifact left from the Ancient Era, vast and boundless, forming its own world!

Although the Divine Court can use Qiankun Furnace, until now, Qiankun Furnace remains unclaimed by anyone!

The Qiankun Furnace stands over ten zhang tall, tripod-shaped, with unintelligible symbols or texts engraved on it, and now Ling Feng and others are beneath the Qiankun Furnace.

"Divine Realm and Divine Sea Realm contestants separate!" the host announced, "All Divine Realm participants come to receive a protective waist belt!"

Ling Feng naturally received a waist belt as well; the protective waist belt is red, engraved with a formation, a fifth level array. With Ling Feng's current strength, he cannot complete a fifth level array and thus cannot break this formation.

"This protective waist belt is your survival item!" the host explained, "When you enter Qiankun Furnace, you must try every means to attack others and retrieve the abyss stones contained in their protective waist belts!"

"When a protective waist belt wearer suffers a fatal attack, it will save the wearer once and teleport them out, but the wearer's protective waist belt will drop one abyss stone. Finally, the top ten contestants with the most abyss stones will earn the Heavenly Battlefield qualification; have you all understood?"

The crowd nodded, the rules were simple yet harsh! Ling Feng knew very well, once it began, attacks from all directions awaited them.

"Upon entering the Qiankun Furnace, you will be randomly assigned locations; you might end up in a deserted area or directly encounter others. So... luck is sometimes part of strength, good luck!"

The host clapped his hands, and a white light descended upon all Divine Realm contestants.

In an instant, all contestants disappeared.

"Divine Might, how effective do you think your changes will be this time?" the Divine Emperor asked.

Divine Might General smiled lightly, "I think it will be quite thrilling, Your Majesty, just wait and see!"
