Chen Xu’s sudden movement startled the other Dao Lords around him.
“Fellow... Fellow Daoist Chen, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so excited?”
Li Taiji was a bit dazed, startled by the noise. He forced open one eye and asked.
Beside him, the Myriad Beast Dao Lord froze for a moment, then burst into another fit of laughter.
“Hahaha, he’s drunk! He’s drunk! I knew it! How could anyone drink that much and not get drunk? Drunk, he’s definitely drunk!”
“No, I’m not drunk. I was just inspired by you all. This Martial Arts Tournament sounds so interesting, it’s a real pity that only martial artists can participate.”
This statement completely baffled the Extreme Martial Dao Lord.
“Ah? Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you mean by that? It’s a Martial Arts Tournament, so of course only martial artists participate.”
“Besides, even if we invited those mages and priests to participate, putting a mage and a martial artist to fight in such a small ring... if word got out, the myriad worlds would say our martial arts factions can't afford to play fair and are just bullying people.”
“If the arena is too small, then change it. Change it to an entire minor world. Wouldn't that solve the issue of arena advantage?”
Chen Xu’s eyes gleamed as a plan rapidly took shape in his mind.
“The rule of dividing by realms is a good reference, but starting from the Epic Rank is a waste. It completely excludes the largest group, the Transcendent Rank. We should include them as well and host the First Grand Assembly of Transcendents of the Myriad Worlds!”
“Then, the venue has to change. Although traditional arenas are great for spectators, they are far too unbalanced for different classes.”
“Why not just shape hundreds of planets of various sizes and environments to serve as the match venues? That way, different transcendent systems can choose their tactics based on their respective advantages, allowing them to display their abilities to the absolute fullest.”
Chen Xu grew more excited as he spoke. However, Li Taiji circulated his true qi to force out the alcohol and advised.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, the Transcendent Rank is the realm with the greatest variance in power. Besides, fights at the Transcendent Rank aren't particularly exciting to watch, and with so many people, it would be an immense hassle.”
“Indeed. We also considered using planets as battlegrounds before, but we ultimately abandoned the idea. It’s simply not as cost-effective as a standard arena.”
“If nothing else, the daily maintenance of those planets is a massive headache. After every battle, we would have to arrange specialists to disperse the residual transcendent energies left on them.”
“It’s not worth it, truly not worth it.”
The Star River Dao Lord shook his head, also disagreeing with Chen Xu’s idea.
But Chen Xu did not care. For the Martial Dao Lords, finding or maintaining planets was a major issue.
But for him, who mastered the World Dao, it was merely a matter of a single thought.
“Thank you for the warnings, everyone, but I have my own way of handling it.”
Seeing Chen Xu's completely confident look, the Dao Lords said no more.
After all, the person before them was no longer a wet-behind-the-ears rookie, but the acknowledged number one powerhouse of the myriad worlds.
He could slap fellow Dao Lords like the Dragon Emperor and the Blood Qilin from the Cosmic Sea straight back to the Yokai Realm, so he could easily slap them back to their respective martial worlds with a single blow.
These Martial Dao Lords were still a bit nervous. After all, Chen Xu looked like he had drunk far too much. If he really went wild with alcohol and decided to test his moves on them in his excitement, what would they do?
In truth, the concerns of the Martial Dao Lords were not unfounded.
Under the buff of the 【Drinking Companion Holy Body】, Chen Xu, who was currently in a state of euphoric drunkenness, possessed a level of strength that had reached an absurd height.
However, at this moment, he only wanted to refine the plan in his mind as quickly as possible.
Thus, Chen Xu abruptly stood up, looked at the Dao Lords, and after a brief farewell, stepped forward. In the next instant, he was back in the Undead Dao Court.
“Hic.”
After letting out an alcoholic burp, Chen Xu directly summoned Miracle.
“My Lord, what is your command?”
“Miracle, take this down.”
With his hands clasped behind his back, Chen Xu paced back and forth in the hall.
“I plan to organize the First Grand Assembly of Transcendents of the Myriad Worlds. It will be open to all transcendents across the myriad worlds, regardless of their faction, organization, race, or strength—well, except for the Unique Rank, everyone can participate.”
“Based on their strength, they will be divided into five divisions: Transcendent, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and Eternal. Each division will crown ten winners. These winners will receive rich rewards and the chance to become famous throughout the myriad worlds.”
“As for the tournament format, it will consist of three stages: qualifiers, eliminations, and the final championship.”
“The venues for the qualifiers and eliminations will be several planets of varying environments and sizes. You will randomly assign the contestants to each planet.”
“At the same time, the entire tournament will be broadcasted live and streamed through the Undead Network so everyone can watch.”
“Oh, and contact Boss in a bit to see if there are any sponsors willing to pour money into this.”
“Well, that's all for now. Repeat it back to me.”
Hearing this, Miracle was a bit puzzled. Why would it, the core of a network, have to do something as incredibly basic as repeating instructions?
Let alone repeating, it could easily play back a full holographic recording.
Nevertheless, it still executed Chen Xu's command, obediently repeating everything word for word without a single error.
“Good, that's it. Go compile an official announcement and post it on the Undead Network to publicize the details of the First Grand Assembly of Transcendents of the Myriad Worlds. As for the timeline, the registration period will be within one year after the announcement is published.”
“Understood, my Lord. What about the rewards? Without proper incentives, given the nature of transcendents, they might not show much enthusiasm.”
As the network core, Miracle had interacted with all kinds of transcendents, and by now, it had developed a deep understanding of them.
Without offering some sweet benefits, it would be difficult to get this crowd of transcendents to take action.
“You can discuss the rewards with Boss. If it's hard to decide on specific items, you can substitute them with equivalent Divine Power Crystals.”
“Oh, and add that the top three will receive a mysterious reward personally presented by me. That should provide more than enough attraction.”
“Yes, my Lord. I will see to it immediately.”
“Very well, go on.”
Chen Xu waved his hand, dismissing Miracle.
Afterward, he slumped back into his chair and began to contemplate his path forward to the Existence Rank.
Although the path to the Existence Rank seemed clear, in reality, it was not so simple.
First was the choice of Dao principles. Chen Xu had already mastered four Dao principles: Undead, Element, Corruption, and World. In the future, he might also master the Dao of Blankness through the Hell Armor.
Beyond these, how many more Dao principles did Chen Xu need to master before he could begin uniting them to reach the Existence Rank?
According to that Saint, those who attained the Saint of Existence rank through the five elements Dao principles were already considered the lowest tier.
Therefore, Chen Xu's goal had to start with at least ten Dao principles.
Having the Dao principles was not enough; how to unite them was also a major problem.
That Saint had only mentioned condensing and uniting the Dao, governing the Dao principles, and how a Saint spins thread into a garment, but did not explain how to actually gather or spin them.
Thus, Chen Xu could only seek inspiration from the Mother of Hell.
After all, this Hell Armor was without a doubt an anchoring object.
In other words, a ritual was still a viable path to reference.
Although he no longer had that Saint's gift, a ritual might just be the viable way to spin thread into a garment.
And this First Grand Assembly of Transcendents of the Myriad Worlds was the beginning of the ritual Chen Xu had meticulously planned.
