Yang Xian completed the registration and returned to his cave. At this time, he saw a transmission note at the entrance of the cave. Yang Xian saw that it was from the Ye sisters, "Husband, I heard that all the major stores in Tianlingfang City are holding competitions for sects." The inner disciples of the inner sect have specially held a special auction. It is said that there is an auction of legendary top-quality and inferior magic weapons. Do you want to go and take a look."
Yang Xian thought about it for a long time and decided to continue practicing. After all, the magic weapons that can help him now are the best magic weapons and talismans. The top magic weapons appeared at the auction, and the veteran sect disciples, especially in order to compete for the top ten. The disciples will definitely fight for the best magic weapon. For Yang Xian, all he needs to do is enter the top 50 in this sect competition. There is no need to go to the auction to compete for the best magic weapon to attract attention.
Yang Xian sent a telepathic message to the Ye sisters and replied: "Zijing, Ziying, I won't go to the auction. I have made preparations. At present, I only lack some talismans. First-class middle-grade and high-grade talismans are better. You guys Help me see if I can find some.”
Yang Xian finished sending the transmission notes and continued to practice. There were less than three days left. He must seize the time to practice, especially the sword-controlling technique that can enhance his combat power. He practiced it day and night. Yang Xian was a little anxious because There are many uncertain factors in the duel between monks, especially because there is very little information about the monks. It is difficult to know like ordinary people what skills a certain hero has practiced and what stunts he has become famous for.
Immortals are private, and cultivators of immortals often hide all kinds of information about themselves, such as spiritual root qualifications, special physiques, cultivation spells, special exercises, and even deliberately hiding Qi refining cultivation, etc. These are all a monk's trump cards. , it is not a life-and-death battle or a sect competition, it is difficult for ordinary monks to know, and among the monks, some information is even more valuable than cultivation resources such as elixirs and magic weapons. Yang Xian had heard that some disciples in the sect were specialized in the intelligence business, but Yang Xian did not have this way to buy information and could only rely on his own strength to compete for rankings.
Yang Xian was upset, especially since he had just finished practicing the Sword Shadow Technique, but he still couldn't get started with the Sword Shadow Technique. It had been almost 3 years since he got this fighting technique. This difficult-level technique was really too difficult. It was difficult, and Yang Xian couldn't help but doubt his own understanding. Yang Xian walked out of the cave to relax. The night was extremely bright tonight, and the two familiar bright moons in the sky were still so round. Yang Xian was walking on the unknown mountain road of Lingyun Peak. It seemed that he had not walked so slowly since he entered the seventh level of Qi Refining. Now, it’s quite good to experience this feeling. Yang Xian listened to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the chirping of insects, walking alone, looking at the two bright moons in the night sky, and became a monk. With the help of spiritual thoughts, Yang Xian didn't have to look at the road at all, he just had to look up at the sky.
After looking at the bright moon for a while, Yang Xian felt that the bright moon in the sky was a bit dazzling, so he turned away and looked at the dense vegetation. The wind blew through the dense vegetation, making a rustling sound. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the shadows of the vegetation were clearly visible, and they were The shadows of the leaves blown by the wind were erratic. Yang Xian looked at the erratic shadows of the leaves and muttered: "When the sword comes out, there is a shadow, when the sword comes out, there is no shadow. When the sword comes out, there is no shadow. When there is a shadow, there is no shadow. When there is no shadow, there is a shadow." ..."
Yang Xian realized: "There is a shadow, there is no shadow, that's how the Sword Shadow Technique is, hahaha..." Yang Xian's laughter made the nearby insects disappear. Yang Xian took out the Jin Rui Sword from his storage bag and jumped vertically and horizontally with the Jin Rui Sword in his hand. His movements were chaotic and disorganized, sometimes far away, sometimes close, saying "there is a shadow, there is no shadow". In the eyes of other monks, the strange body skills and weird way of holding the sword are extremely dangerous.
Yang Xian took this opportunity to practice the Sword Shadow Technique and achieved enlightenment within ten years.
Yang Xian practiced like a madman. Two hours passed. The bright moon temporarily disappeared and the sun rose. Yang Xian, who was enlightened, was still jumping up and down. The distance of jumping up and down was getting farther and farther than at night. After another hour, the sky was bright. , Yang Xian lay exhausted on a stone, enjoying the baptism of the rising sun. Yang Xian felt that his whole body was clear and hearty, and a different kind of comfort came from his skin, as if it was originally tight. The skin became soft, and this feeling was extremely comfortable. Yang Xian recalled the practice of the Sword Shadow Art Movement in his mind. The Sword Shadow Art Movement itself was an advanced movement technique practiced with a sword, and it must be based on strong physical fitness. , with the special way of drawing the sword as the core, when the opponent sees the shadow of the sword coming out, he is actually close to the opponent, and the sword has no shadow entering the body. This is the domineering power of the sword shadow technique. The entry-level Sword Shadow Technique allows you to control everything within a ten-foot range, and you can do whatever you want, without the control of your mind. Xiaocheng can control everything within 20 feet of the Sword Shadow Technique, and he can do whatever he wants without the reach of his mind. Dacheng's Sword Shadow Technique can be controlled within a range of 40 feet. You can do whatever you want, without the power of your mind. The highest state, the perfect state, can reach 50 feet.
As soon as Yang Xian realized the Tao, he had reached the stage of minor success. He could freely use his sword within a range of 20 feet. Yang Xian estimated that monks below the eighth level of Qi Refining would be hit before they could react. This Sword Shadow Technique was simply an assassination move. The first choice is really overbearing. However, the Sword Shadow Art movement method also has a drawback, which is that monks with strong spiritual thoughts have reaction time. After all, the spiritual thoughts of monks are not free food. If the detection range of the monk's spiritual thoughts is smaller than the movement range of the Sword Shadow Art movement, then such a monk The probability of survival under the Sword Shadow Technique will be very small. If the Sword Shadow Technique is perfected, then all monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining and below can be killed.
Although Yang Xian is now a small master of the Sword Shadow Technique and the Sword Shadow Technique is very strong, Yang Xian is in a dilemma. This technique cannot be used in the sect competition, because the use of the Sword Shadow Technique requires physical training. Relying on it, once the Sword Shadow Technique is fully activated, the high-level monks of the Spirit Sword Sect will easily find that their true body-refining skills are not appropriate. They cannot be used in the sect competition and can only be hidden as a trump card.
Yang Xian is very open-minded and doesn't use it if he doesn't need it. His sword-controlling skills are not for free, and the purity of his spiritual energy essence is far superior to that of ordinary monks. Coupled with his spiritual thoughts that are comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he slowly polishes them. I also want to get into the top fifty.
With a calm mind, Yang Xian continued to practice step by step, waiting for the arrival of the sect competition.
Just the night before the sect competition, the Ye sisters came to the Lingyun Peak Cave Mansion. Without saying anything, the two sisters each took out 15 first-level middle-grade talismans, all of which were large fireball talismans and a small number of winding talismans. , Yang Xian understood immediately. The two sisters took out all the talismans from the bottom of the box for their sect competition. Yang Xian was extremely moved. No wonder it is said that every successful male cultivator has the support of a female cultivator. At night, the three of them gathered together Being slept with, exploring the ways of yin and yang.
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Xian dressed up and set out. He put on the yellow uniform of an inner disciple for the first time. Before setting off, he gave the Ye sisters special permissions for the cave's guardian formation, which was different from the mountain formation. They could enter and exit by themselves even if they were not there, and then Yang Xian set out with the sword under the blessing of the Ye sisters.
Yang Xian came to the Internal Affairs Peak again and presented his identity jade tag and registration number plate to the deacon uncle. The deacon uncle pointed in a direction and told Yang Xian to go straight ahead. Yang Xian came to the interior of the Internal Affairs Hall and found thousands of monks, all of whom were at the seventh level of Qi Refining and above. It was truly a moment when masters gathered.
Yang Xian, who didn't know the situation, sighed, he didn't expect that there would be thousands of monks participating in the sect competition, but when he registered, he was only ranked over 900. Even if all the inner sect disciples came to participate, there wouldn't be so many. disciples, and there are many inner disciples like Fatty Qian Dafu and the Ye sisters who did not participate! Yang Xian resisted the doubts in his heart and came to his registration number plate. Basically, all the registered disciples had arrived early, and he was considered a late disciple.
Yang Xian couldn't figure out the situation and could only wait. He didn't have much time to interact with other inner disciples before. His knowledge of the situation of the sect's competition was limited to a small part. Yang Xian saw that many inner disciples were in conflict with each other. After communicating with each other, they became quite familiar with each other. In order to find out the situation, Yang Xian decided not to be ashamed to ask his subordinates, which was caused by the lack of communication. Yang Xian made up his mind to communicate more closely with his classmates from now on.
In fact, there are personal factors involved in Yang Xian's lack of social interactions. Because the time for his cultivation to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining is too short, there is basically no interaction with other inner sect disciples on tasks. Naturally, there are no people he knows, and the monk himself is independent. Too strong, it is difficult to get together like ordinary people.
Yang Xian found an older monk who seemed to be kinder and asked for news: "This senior fellow, I am Yang Xian, is a newly promoted inner disciple. He knows very little about the sect competition, so I am specifically asking for advice from my senior fellow."
The monk Yang Xian asked for advice did not answer, and began to close his eyes and meditate. Yang Xian knew that he had been rejected. It seemed that the ordinary way would not work. He could not see people's hearts by looking at them. If you don’t know me, I won’t say some things if you can.
So Yang Xian changed his target. He was a talkative inner sect disciple with an eighth level of Qi refining. There were three friends around him who were communicating with each other. They were all at the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining. Yang Xian said shamelessly again: "Four senior brothers, I'm sorry to bother you. I am Yang Xian, a newly promoted inner sect disciple. He knows very little about the sect competition, so I would like to ask you for advice."
The chatty senior brother said very politely: "Junior brother, you are very polite. Wang Lun, since the junior brothers have participated in this sect competition, they all have the opportunity to compete for the opportunity to enter the secret realm. Maybe they can meet in the secret realm and fight together. Please give me a word of advice. There’s no need, I’ll wait for my brothers and sisters to communicate together.”
"Senior brother, you are commended. Junior brother gave his best and didn't dare to expect a ranking." Yang Xian said, cupping his fists.
Yang Xian successfully joined the small circle of four people. Yang Xian introduced himself and also met three other friends of Wang Lun, namely Liu Dezhi, Sun Hao and Gu Tianwen. The four of them communicated a lot, and Yang Xian was listening most of the time. This also allowed Yang Xian to know a lot about the sect competition.
It turns out that the sect competition will be held not only by the Lingjian Sect, but also by the subordinate first- and second-grade sects and families. Even emerging forces that have the ability to form sect families can participate. The premise is that they report to the Lingjian Sect and go through the Lingjian Sect. Jianzong detection. Therefore, there are a large number of people in this sect competition. Most of the monks are members of the first- and second-level sects or families of the subordinate forces. Only the monks who are the inner disciples in yellow are the disciples of the sect. The inner sect of the Spirit Sword Sect Disciples compete for 50 places, and disciples from subordinate sects or family forces compete for another 50 places. In the end, these 100 people are the final candidates for the Five Elements Secret Realm. As for the ranking battle, it is decided internally. The top ten people in the Lingjian Sect can receive a foundation-building pill as a reward, and the top five subordinate sects or families can receive a foundation-building pill as a reward. This sect competition will be personally hosted by the leader of the Lingjian Sect, Xuan Yi Zhenjun. , to ensure fairness and justice.
Yang Xian didn't expect that the sect's grand ceremony would be so important to the sect, and that the head patriarch would personally preside over it. Moreover, other disciples and other deacon uncles are not allowed to watch the sect competition. The battles between monks are kept confidential to protect the privacy of the disciples. Only the deacon uncle in charge of the competition arena has the right to watch and protect the participating disciples and during the battle. Avoid fatal situations. This time, the sect competition will start at the beginning of the competition, and lots will be drawn, and the top fifty will be determined before the ranking battle.
As the time approached Chen hour, Yang Xian ended his communication with the four senior brothers, returned to the designated waiting position with the registration number plate, and meditated quietly for the start of the sect competition. As soon as the hour came, the sound of a gong went directly into my ears. The leader in purple robe flew into the sky above all the monks, and a majestic voice came clearly: "This sect competition begins today. All the sect members who have signed up to participate in the sect competition will start today." Disciples participating in the competition must abide by the rules of the sect competition. First, all participating disciples are not allowed to die or affect their path. Second, all participating disciples are not allowed to use various methods beyond the Qi refining period to ensure fairness and justice. Third , All disciples who are qualified to enter the secret realm are not allowed to withdraw, and the sect will make unified arrangements. This sect competition begins."
