Chapter 1367: Chapter 375: How Will Li Half-Saint Respond to the Absent Divine Monkey? Unprecedented Mutation in the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit [Monthly Ticket Requested]

”Each hero, within the Immortal Peach Orchard, can only pick one flat peach.”

The Empress’s voice resounded throughout the Divine Capital Second City, like a wind blowing through the halls, stirring ceaselessly, causing the cultivators seated at the many banquet tables under the grand tent to show slight changes in their expressions.

It changed!

The rules for this session of the Heroic Victory Conference have indeed differed from before, and the changes are quite significant.

The previous Heroic Victory Conference during the Flat Peach Festival was actually somewhat similar to the Chulong Victory Conference, being a sort of personal arena battle format.

A one-on-one confrontation where through spells and techniques, one would compete to eventually win the Nine-thousand-year-old Peach.

Though there might be slight changes at the rule level, the main focus was still on personal dueling.

Yet in this session, as the Empress announced the rules for the Heroic Victory Conference.

The heroes from the powerful forces like the Great Divine Sect, the noble families, and the vassal prince heirs all displayed looks of shock.

Every hero needs to obtain five flat peaches within the Immortal Peach Orchard to qualify for the second round, entering the garden cultivating the Five-thousand-year-old Peach!

According to the Empress, each hero can only pick one flat peach within the Immortal Peach Orchard...

This means that to obtain five flat peaches, one can only do so by seizing the peaches from the hands of other heroes participating in the Victory Conference!

One hundred heroes, meaning the first round has a total of one hundred thousand-year-old peaches, on average, they can be divided among twenty heroes.

Each hero can obtain five flat peaches.

But, this is just the most ideal scenario.

Flat peaches have a characteristic, which is... they can be eaten.

If any hero feels hopeless about advancing to the second round and chooses to swallow the flat peach...

The impact brought would be immense.

Moreover, if during the confrontation between two heroes, one side realizes they are losing the spell cast battle, before defeat, swallows the flat peach... it’s also a possibility.

In short...

There are too many unexpected occurrences!

Under the grand tent in the Divine Capital Second City, the heroes from various great forces could not help but change their expressions, their brows slightly furrowed.

They were considering the situations that could arise under these rules.

Yet the Empress swept her gaze across, giving a dignified smile.

”After advancing to the second round and into the Five-thousand-year-old Peach Garden, one must also obtain five Five-thousand-year-old Peaches to proceed to the third round... Enter the Seven-thousand-year-old Peach Garden and pick Seven-thousand-year-old Peaches.”

”However, from the Seven-thousand-year-old Peach Garden to the Nine-thousand-year-old Peach Garden, the rules are relaxed somewhat, as long as three Seven-thousand-year-old Peaches are gathered, advancement is possible...”

The Empress scanned the crowd, her voice exceptionally clear, as if under the invisible form that swirled around, echoing repeatedly in everyone’s ears.

Divine Capital Second City and Divine Capital Third City seemed, in an instant, to fall into a deathly silence.

The Empress calmly swept her gaze across the scene.

”I wish all heroes a triumphant start.”

The Empress slightly bowed.

After she finished explaining the rules, she turned back to her table under the guidance of Purple-clothed Eunuch Lian.

In fact, even Eunuch Lian was stunned for a moment by these rules, a tinge of bewilderment rising in his heart, not expecting the rules for this session of the Heroic Victory Conference to be so altered.

Undoubtedly, in this way...

The competition will become extremely brutal, and many unforeseen changes will arise.

Not to mention him, even the Emperor and Empress might not be very clear on how the situation in this Heroic Victory Conference will ultimately unfold.

Who can obtain the last Nine-thousand-year-old Peach?

No...

Eunuch Lian’s heart suddenly shook violently, looking toward the smiling Empress, a rich hue of astonishment in his eyes.

Because...

According to the rules described by the Empress, is the Nine-thousand-year-old Peach Garden the limit?

Since the Empress never said that the Nine-thousand-year-old Peach Garden is the limit, does this mean, for many heroes, there is still a qualification to enter the Ten-thousand-year-old Peach Garden?!

Ten-thousand-year-old Peach Garden!

Eunuch Lian’s heart thumped vigorously!

If that’s indeed the case, then things are truly getting interesting!

...

...

Qian Yuan Divine Sect’s main banquet area.

Xi Xi nestled in Zhang Ya’s arms, happily eating delicious food, her eyes sparkling; while eating, she turned to look at Li Che.

”Go, Daddy! Xi Xi became the champion of the Chulong Victory Conference, Daddy must win the championship too!”

With her mouth stuffed with roast chicken, oil dripping everywhere, Xi Xi’s eyes, however, were more determined and expectant than ever.

Li Che reached out and ruffled Xi Xi’s head.

He remembered the slight heartache when Xi Xi handed over the Nine-thousand-year-old Peach she won to Zhang Ya.

Li Che couldn’t help but smile: ”Xi Xi, do you want to eat that Nine-thousand-year-old Peach?”

”Then Daddy will go and win one for you.”

Upon hearing this, Xi Xi seemed to have lost the taste for her roast chicken, her eyes instantly becoming exceptionally bright!

Her plump little body quivered with excitement!

”Daddy is the best!”

Xi Xi climbed off the banquet table, pouting her greasy lips, intending to reward Li Che with a big kiss.

However, Li Che disdainfully extended his hand to hold Xi Xi’s head.

This made Xi Xi immediately dissatisfied yet happy, was Daddy disliking her for being too greasy?

She, Emperor Xi Xi, who was so lovable, how could she possibly be greasy!

Unconvinced, Xi Xi planted her hands on her hips, starting to butt her head forward like a stubborn bull.

Lv Taibai, standing by, slightly narrowed his eyes.

”A Che, this time’s rules are not that simple, with the Great Divine Sect, vassal kings, and noble families... a total of a hundred heroes!”

”To qualify for the next round of Peach Gardens, it’s not through one-on-one spell battles to advance, but based on the number of flat peaches, so you need to seize and strive...”
