The sound of the bell is melodious, floating between heaven and earth.
Taoist temple.
In the Zhengming dojo.
Before the bell even fell, there was a wave of fluctuation in the void, and figures emerged one after another. They were none other than Chen Xi and the other twenty-five disciples who had entered the second round of the Dao Discussion Competition.
They stood in the center of the Zhengming Dojo, looking more or less dazed, as if they had not yet fully awakened from the meditation.
To the outside world, only three days have passed, but to the twenty-five of them meditating in the "Ancient Realm of Shaohua", a full three months have passed.
Just by looking at the auras they displayed, one could tell that their physical strength had been restored to its peak state during this period of meditation.
Even the injured Gu Yan and Tu Meng were recovering as before.
"It's about to begin!"
"There are six people from the Supreme Religion, five from the Divine Academy, five from the Taoist Academy, six from Nuwa Palace, and three from Shenyan Mountain. I don't know what kind of competition this second round of Taoism Competition will be."
"Just wait and see."
In the audience seat, a group of adults from all the major forces were talking about it.
"Huh? That's..."
Soon, someone noticed that five figures appeared again in the Zhengming Dojo. Each of them had the cultivation level of the Ancestral God Realm, and their auras were powerful. In terms of momentum, they were not weaker than Chen Xi and the others.
"I understand, these are the five other disciples selected. Don't forget, before the start of this Dao Discussion Competition, there were two batches. The first batch was a duel between the descendants of the Five Extremes of the Imperial Domain, competing for the final Twenty-five promotion places.
"This second batch is a duel between many other disciples of the ancient Taoism, competing for the final five places."
"Obviously, these five people are the unknown disciple who finally stood out and advanced to the second round of the Dao Discussion Competition."
"So, they will also participate in the second round of Taoism competition together?"
"That's for sure."
"Look, among these five people, there is Tai Shuhong, the first disciple of the Ancestral God Realm from the Divine Creation Mountain, Zhao Qingyao, a descendant of the True Phoenix from the True Phoenix Divine Palace, and Canaan, the holy son of the Buddha Sect... all of them are... It is an extremely tyrannical existence.”
"Yes, I heard that when the Buddha's son Canaan was promoted to the Ancestral God Realm, he refined a ninth-grade emperor-level Taoist root and obtained the 'Great Bodhi Relic Root' passed down by the Buddha Lord Saha. His cultivation cannot be underestimated."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and everyone quickly recognized the origins of the five new heirs.
At this time, Chen Xi and the others also noticed those five people, but most of them reacted insipidly.
He just glanced at the other person and then looked away.
This is normal. As a descendant of the Five Extremes of the Imperial Domain, whoever is not a peerless and stunning person has his own pride and temper, so he will not make a fuss about it.
In other words, in the minds of most of them, they probably didn't pay attention to the five new competitors at all.
"Canaan?"
Only when Chen Xi saw the Buddhist son Canaan among them, he couldn't help but be a little startled. He remembered something he had promised to Canaan, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Back then, in front of the "Xuanzhu Ancestral Temple" in the ruins of Manggu, Jianan had come to help and used the Six Buddhist Treasures to suppress the power of the "Black Witch God Gu" in Zhen Liuqing's body, which Chen Xi remembered in his heart and was extremely grateful.
At that time, Buddha's son Canaan only made one request, that is, let Chen Xi go to the Buddha Sect in ten years to have a head-on confrontation with Chen Xi.
However, due to delays in many things, Chen Xi actually missed this agreement. Now that he met Canaan at this time, Chen Xi naturally felt a little regretful.
"Fellow Taoist Chen Xi."
Jianan was as calm and calm as before, with an unruffled expression. When he saw Chen Xi, he clasped his hands together and said, "It is a fate to meet each other this time. The young monk is looking forward to this Tao discussion competition. I can discuss it with fellow Taoists."
The implication is that forget the previous agreement, if we can discuss it this time, it can be regarded as a fate.
"That's fine."
Chen Xi smiled and secretly decided in his heart that he would have a good chat with the Holy Son Canaan after the Dao Discussion Competition ended.
"You thirty disciples listen to the order. Starting now, I will announce the rules for the second round of the Dao Competition."
Suddenly, Huaikongzi's figure appeared in front of the Guiyuan Hall, and he spoke in a deep voice. His majestic voice spread throughout the world, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
"The second round of the Dao Discussion Competition will be divided into five levels. In the first level, thirty of you will face off one by one, and fifteen people will be selected to advance."
"In the second level, one disciple will advance directly without having to compete in a duel. The remaining fourteen disciples will compete one by one, and seven will be selected in the end."
"In the third level, the eight selected people were divided into four groups and faced off one by one, and finally four people were selected."
"In the fourth level, two of these four people will advance."
"The fifth level will finally compete for the first place in this Dao discussion competition."
Huaikongzi described the rules of this second round of Taoism Competition in a concise and concise manner.
At this moment, all the cultivators present were finally sure that this second round of Taoism Competition was indeed a one-on-one confrontation!
And this is what they are looking forward to most.
Because only one-on-one confrontation can truly determine the winner of Chen Xi, Leng Xinghun, Donghuang Yinxuan... all these peerless characters!
The only thing that puzzles all cultivators is that in the second level of comparison, why is there a disciple who can successfully enter the next level of duel without having to compete
As if he could read the thoughts of everyone present, Huaikongzi announced the answer before the specific rules of the second round of Taoism Competition were announced.
"You must be curious as to who is the disciple who can successfully advance to the second level. I might as well tell you bluntly that this quota belongs to Shenyan Mountain!"
As soon as Huaikongzi said these words, everyone in the audience was stunned. Why is this
Even Wen Ting, who was sitting in the Guiyuan Hall at this time, was slightly startled and a little surprised.
"Why? Why is it a disciple of Shenyan Mountain and not someone else? This is unfair!"
A disciple from the seminary couldn't help but asked, it was Zhu Qianyu, the second disciple of Palm Seal.
The other seminary disciples also echoed, and they were all very unhappy.
"Why?"
Huaikongzi looked unmoved and said indifferently, "During the first round of the Dao Discussion Competition, some accidents occurred, which was unfair to the disciples of Shenyan Mountain. This quota is a kind of compensation."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Qianyu and others' expressions suddenly froze. They did not expect that the Taoist Academy would come up with such a reason.
"But, in this case, it would be unfair to us other participants in the discussion. Why do we need to bear the responsibility for the mistakes made by your Taoist Academy?"
Zhu Qianyu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
The whole place was in an uproar, and no one expected that such an incident would happen before the second round of the Dao Discussion Competition even started.
"This decision was arranged by me. Ying Qin is dead. There are some things that I don't intend to delve into any further. If you little ones are not convinced, we can have a good chat when the competition is over."
At this moment, the Taoist Dean's voice, filled with supreme majesty, suddenly resounded throughout the Zhengming Dojo, causing the entire atmosphere to become silent.
Zhu Qianyu's expression changed slightly, and when he was about to say something, he was stopped by Donghuang Yinxuan, saying: "That's it, don't argue anymore."
Seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He didn't care about a compensated place. He was even eager to continue investigating.
Unfortunately, he also knew that in this situation, no matter who it was, he would not let other things hinder the smooth progress of the Tao Discussion Competition.
"If there are no objections, let's start the first round of the second round of Dao Discussion Competition now!"
Huaikongzi said in a deep voice, "You thirty disciples listen to the order. Now please take out the ancient tripod with inscriptions that you have obtained."
Everyone acted as they were told and took out the ancient cauldrons with inscriptions.
"Each of these thirty ancient Dao-inscribed tripods has a unique power and can create a connection with another Dao-inscribed ancient tripod."
Huaikongzi said solemnly, "And your respective opponents will be born from this connection."
It was only at this moment that Chen Xi and others finally understood that the Ancient Inscription Cauldron had such efficacy. Doesn't this mean that their rivals were already destined as early as when they obtained the Ancient Inscription Cauldron
This arrangement is really unexpected.
Not only Chen Xi and the others, but also the cultivators at the viewing banquet were all amazed. This arrangement was indeed incredible, but if you think about it carefully, this would further ensure the success of this Dao discussion competition. fairness.
After all, these ancient inscribed Dao tripods were obtained by those disciples from the Dao tripod world. They were full of chance and could not have been arranged in advance.
Wow...
Huaikongzi waved his sleeves, and a fist-sized, crystal clear bronze cauldron exuding an ancient and majestic atmosphere floated into the air.
This bronze tripod is clearly the Taoist Mother Cauldron inherited from the dean of the Taoist Academy!
The previous "Daoding World" was also derived from this treasure.
Buzz...buzz...
As soon as the Taoist Mother Cauldron appeared, a strange wave suddenly appeared, covering Chen Xi and all thirty of them.
The next moment, everyone present saw that the ancient cauldron in the hands of Chen Xi and the others erupted into a brilliant rainbow and suddenly soared into the sky.
Each of these divine rainbows communicates with another divine rainbow in mid-air, echoing each other and looking very magical.
Through this scene, all the cultivators in the field were able to clearly identify the opponents of the thirty disciples.
At this moment, Chen Xi finally confirmed that his opponent was Gongsun Mu, the third disciple of the Palm Seal from the seminary!
The divine rainbows released by the inscribed ancient cauldron in their hands are communicating and echoing together at this moment, and there is no need to confirm at all.
"Haha, what a coincidence, Chen Xi, you still remember that when I was in the Shentu clan, I said that I was looking forward to a showdown with you now!"
At this time, Gongsun Mu also noticed Chen Xi, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up with a hint of coldness.
