At this moment, the sky suddenly became brighter, and dozens of rays of light flew across the sky.
They were still in the sky the moment before, but in just a breath they were already above this place, and after circling, they landed on the balcony of the empty pavilion.
When the light faded, more than thirty cultivators were revealed. Leading them was a solemn old Taoist with long eyebrows, broad eyes, and a pale face. He was none other than Yan Longzi, the leader of the Wangliang Sect.
The rest of the group, both men and women, were the masters of each peak and the Jindan elders.
A huge sect like the Wuliang Sect has at least fifty or sixty Jindan masters in the sect, but not all of them will come. Only the sect leader who is in charge today, some elders who are supervising the competition, and a few elders who are more interested in the competition will come.
After everyone stood still, Yan Longzi glanced downwards. A powerful pressure surged out from the sky, and the noise on the platform below suddenly became silent, and all the spirit beasts began to tremble.
But the pressure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the crowd below had quieted down, Yan Longzi spoke slowly.
"This competition is held for the next year's secret realm harvest. The competition is divided into two levels: foundation building and Qi Condensation. I believe that the significance of the competition has been explained to the disciples by each peak. There are 200 people participating in the foundation building stage and 430 people participating in the Qi Condensation stage.
The top 49 in the foundation building stage will be selected, and the top 108 in the Qi Condensation stage will be selected. Five days after the foundation building stage competition ends, the Qi Condensation stage competition will begin. If there are no objections, then let’s start!”
Yan Longzi spoke very concisely, and after just a few words, he announced the start of the meeting. His breath was long and his voice was gentle, but everyone could hear it clearly.
After saying that, he walked towards his seat first, and the rest of the Jindan followed suit and sat down, leaving only a tall and thin old man standing there.
Li Yan was dozens of miles away and heard it very clearly. Thinking about choosing 108 people out of the 400 people in the Qi Condensation Stage, he still felt unsure. He had too little practical experience and his magic power was only at the late seventh level of the Qi Condensation Stage.
Fortunately, many people did not come to participate this time, otherwise, it would only make me even less confident.
This time, only Qi Condensation disciples at the 90th level were eligible to register, so the number of participants was reduced by more than half. The Foundation Establishment cultivators were also eliminated, as were many pastoral cultivators, as well as many cultivators like Li Wuyi...
While Li Yan was thinking, a loud voice suddenly resounded through the sky. Li Yan looked up quickly, only to see that the tall and thin old man who had just been standing in front of the balcony of the pavilion had risen into the air, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at all the disciples on the platform.
“I am Peng Buxing, the head of the sect’s Law Enforcement Hall. This competition will be divided into ten battle stages. Opponents will be decided by drawing lots. Each person can fight five games. If they win three and lose two, they will advance to the next round. Otherwise, they will be eliminated.
Both sides can fight with all their strength in the competition. In life-and-death situations, the elders of the battle arena will be responsible for safety. As for those who are injured, they can go back and recuperate. "
The tall and thin old man had a head full of black hair, a purple-black face, a stern expression, and spoke without any emotion at all.
Li Yan was a little frightened after hearing this. That is to say, on this battlefield, except for not killing people, you can seriously injure or disable the opponent. All consequences are at your own risk. It is estimated that if they are not competing with each other from the same clan, then life and death will definitely not be considered.
"The disciples from each peak who are participating in the Foundation Building Competition, please come up and draw your numbers!"
After the tall and thin old man finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and suddenly small arrows emitting red light appeared in the sky, floating quietly.
There was silence at first, and then in the diamond-shaped area below, lights of various colors flashed one after another, and human figures rose into the air one after another.
Several rays of light also flew out from beside Li Yan, heading straight for where the small red arrow was in the sky.
These small red arrows look exactly the same, so the person who goes up just reaches out and takes the one closest to him, not being picky.
Once these small red arrows were obtained, they turned into red stars and flew onto the sleeves. A line of small words appeared next to the golden emblems of each peak on the cuffs of the sect's dark green robe.
Looking at Lin Daqiao who was flying back, Li Yan glanced at his sleeve. Next to the golden bamboo was a line of bright red small characters "Seventy-nine".
He couldn't help but feel moved. No wonder it was said that important matters of the sect must be handled in the sect robe. It seemed that some arrangements would need to be completed with the help of this spiritual robe.
Second Senior Brother and the others had already turned around and fell back. They all kept silent and stared upwards.
After Peng Wuxing saw that he had received all the red arrows in the sky, he quickly formed a hand seal with his hands in front of his chest, then raised them upwards and shouted loudly, shaking all directions.
As his shout rang out, ten huge crystal plates appeared in the air without any warning, forming a huge arc.
After a burst of light, the ten huge crystal plates gradually became clearer, and finally ten worlds appeared, which were actually ten battle platforms.
Li Yan and others looked up from below. They could clearly see the ten crystals from any angle.
Although Li Yan had some guesses in his mind, he was still not sure. On Xiaozhu Peak's side, only he and his three nephews had never participated in sect affairs. Lin Daqiao, for example, had only participated in several sect competitions, so the three of them were a little confused about this change.
“This is the Thousand Mile Flowing Light Mirror. Because each of these ten battle platforms is about fifty miles long, plus the distance between them, the range is hundreds of miles wide, and not all disciples can see it with their spiritual sense.
Therefore, Elder Peng used his great magic power to drive the Thousand Mile Flowing Light Mirror. Everyone only needs to stand still to see all the games on the field. You just need to choose a crystal plate that you are interested in to watch, but it is silent here.
But when it comes to the last three games, they will be played one after another on the same stage, and then you can watch them directly.”
Just as Li Yan was thinking, a gentle voice came. Needless to say, it was Li Wuyi. The chicken monster Wei Chongran entrusted all the big and small matters of Xiaozhu Peak to him to deal with. At this time, he still thought of Li Yan and other newcomers.
After Peng Wuxing cast a spell to activate the Thousand-Mile Flowing Light Mirror, he flew back to the suspended pavilion.
Soon, another ten people flew out slowly and headed for ten battle platforms respectively. Li Yan thought that they should be the elders supervising the battles on each battle platform. They were responsible for safety and refereeing.
As expected, the ten men flew to the sky above a battle platform one by one, and each of them performed some magic spells with their hands.
Li Yan saw that a transparent blue light shield slowly rose from the battle platforms on the ten crystal plates, and stopped only after it rose to a height of several dozen feet. Then, blue light began to flow continuously on each blue light shield, and finally condensed into two lines of small characters.
Li Yan looked at a crystal plate, on which the blue light condensed into "twenty" and "sixty-three".
At this moment, a loud shout was heard from the air.
"The first round begins as soon as the signature is reached!" In the suspended pavilion, a dozen monks were sipping tea and chatting, and a beautiful woman in her forties was smiling sweetly.
"Master, Junior Brother Wei didn't come this time. Could it be that he is trying to reach the late stage of the Golden Core?"
As she talked and laughed, her beautiful eyes looked around, and she was full of charm. Her round figure was more like a ripe peach, and her chest was white, smooth and shiny, making people want to take a bite.
Upon seeing this, the others quickly looked away, calmed down and looked at Yan Longzi.
Yan Longzi glanced at her and spoke slowly.
"Junior Sister Li, I cannot see through Junior Brother's realm either. He is practicing the 'Nine Horizontal Scriptures of the Infinite', which was specially taught to him by our Master. This technique is too profound and has the effect of concealing one's aura.
He has been promoted to the Golden Core stage for more than 200 years. According to the time calculation, he may be reaching the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core stage!"
"But every time I met Junior Brother, I always felt that his aura was far beyond my ability to compare. The Thousand Faces of Reality that I practiced has allowed me to be very sensitive to all kinds of scenes.
"Master has been looking for a successor to the 'Infinite Nine Horizontal Scriptures' for thousands of years, and finally found a successor like me, which can be regarded as a wish come true. I also wanted to practice it at the beginning, but unfortunately Master ignored me, hum!"
As the beautiful woman spoke, her waist swayed slightly, and her plump buttocks took up most of the bamboo chair.
The scholar named Feng from Lingchong Peak, the dark and sturdy man from Sixiang Peak, and many elders hurriedly lowered their heads to drink tea. Only the woman from Buli Peak, who was of ordinary appearance but had a face as solid as ice that had never melted, frowned but did not speak.
Yan Longzi said helplessly when he saw that there was such an atmosphere every time people discussed matters.
"Junior Sister Li, it has been many years, and there are many Jindan brothers and sisters in the sect. How come you don't like any of them?"
"Oh, Master Brother, you think I have brought shame to the Wuliang Sect. You should get married sooner and raise a family.
You know what, in this huge sect, apart from my junior brother, there is really no one I like. But my junior brother is a romantic man, and he only has Junior Sister Zhao in his heart. I can't find a suitable enemy, so this is it.
If the Wuliang Sect feels that I have lost face, then I will find my master and ask him to let me leave the sect!"
When the beautiful woman heard this, she curled her plump little lips and leaned her plump body back.
When Yan Longzi heard this, he looked at the other people. The elders were all calm and composed, as if they had heard nothing. The cultivator named Feng and several of his fellow disciples were just holding their tea and lowering their heads, as if they were all thinking about something.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Master, this is your good disciple. Whenever she comes to a meeting, everyone gets nervous. I don't understand why they are so nervous after practicing for thousands of years when they see Junior Sister Li."
He coughed dryly and looked around, but did not see anyone coming from Xiaozhu Peak.
"I heard that your niece Changting has a close relationship with Li Wuyi. Why don't you just find Junior Brother to get engaged? It will also be a very beautiful marriage."
"Hehehe... I was just about to settle accounts with Li Wuyi.
He is always the last one to come to every meeting and the first one to run away. There is no good person in Xiaozhu Peak. Li Wuyi is also entangled with one of his junior sisters. If Changting is bullied, Wei Chongran and I will not let him go either."
The beautiful woman, who was originally leaning sideways, straightened her body, making her chest three points more raised, and she spoke lightly.
Yan Longzi knew that they had gone off topic again. Since everyone was afraid of seeing this junior sister during every meeting, he couldn't help but say something off topic, and now they were going further and further off topic.
"Speaking of Xiaozhu Peak, all the foundation-building disciples except Li Wuyi participated this time. The disciple with the disintegrating poisonous body also participated in this Qi Condensation Stage competition."
Yan Longzi looked serious and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh? That disciple really did participate, and I heard that his realm has reached the middle stage of the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Stage.
I remember that he had just entered the second level of the Qi Condensation Stage three years ago. By this calculation, his cultivation speed was quite fast. In addition to the faction's allocation of some resources, could it be that the Fragmented Poison Body also had a bonus effect on mixed spiritual roots?"
The Confucian scholar, the leader of Lingchong Peak, said.
"He has reached the third level of mixed spiritual roots in three years. He is not much behind the geniuses of the various peaks in the sect. I really want to cut him open to see what is going on inside his body!"
The ordinary-looking woman from Buli Peak had a gleam in her eyes and spoke in a cold voice.
"If Junior Brother Wei hears what you said, he will definitely not let you off."
Another elder said.
"Studying the true nature of this physique will be of greater benefit to our sect!"
The plain-looking woman had a blank expression on her face.
"You are going off topic again. Since this boy has been handed over to Junior Brother, you should not mention those things anymore. I hope that there will be one more strong fighter in the foundation-building stage in the sect in the future. The foundation-building competition has begun, let's wait and see the results."
When Yan Longzi saw that these lunatics were speechless, he started to want to dissect a person and study him. What did they think this was? Was it a monster
If the world of immortal cultivation did not forbid the use of humans for experiments, as it was too inhumane, these people would have probably started using humans for various researches a long time ago.
This was also the reason why he always wanted to start a meeting simply and end it quickly. Most of the elders here had been studying poison skills for a long time and had become half crazy.
Of course Li Yan didn't know that after so many years, there were still people who wanted to dissect him and do some research.
