Although Chen Qun thought so in his heart, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to admit it.
So, Chen Qun said: "I don't know why the head brother is here. It should be more than just visiting me."
The headmaster Daoran said sadly: "Master, he is in seclusion. Before he went into seclusion, Master asked me to teach junior brother on his behalf. I came here today just to discuss with junior brother how to improve junior brother's cultivation. I have A plan, but I don’t know if Junior Brother Daoyun can agree to it.”
Chen Qun was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that his cheap master would actually be interested in him.
Chen Qun said to the leader Daoran: "I wonder what the master brother's plan is."
The headmaster Daoran looked up at the sky and said: "On the road of cultivation, apart from the differences in personal physiques, the only thing left is to rely on one's own efforts. So I decided to let all the foundation-building monks in the sect take turns to compete with you, junior brother. This will allow you, junior brother, to improve yourself in battle."
After hearing this, Chen Qun immediately objected: "I am only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. In addition to countless mid-stage Foundation Establishment and late-stage Foundation Establishment monks, Tiandao Sect has hundreds of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen monks alone. Senior Brother, are you asking me to give them free target practice?"
The headmaster Daoran smiled and said: "Junior Brother Daoyun, you are too humble. I see that the spiritual power in your body is so majestic, Junior Brother, that it is no less than a monk in the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen Stage. However, since Junior Brother Daoyun has concerns, Then I will let the disciples in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment compete with the junior brother first. Then I will increase the difficulty of the competition based on the junior brother's strength, and the junior brother thinks it is okay."
Chen Qun saw that he couldn't escape, so he said: "Then it all depends on the arrangements of the head brother. But I have a condition, that is, my true identity should not be exposed. I need to wear a mask to participate in the competition."
The headmaster Daoran nodded and said: "Junior brother is the master's entry-level disciple, and his identity should be kept secret. Junior brother, please feel free. In the past few days, junior brother has been working hard to improve his cultivation. In a few days, I will arrange for junior brother to accept the competition. Then I I won’t disturb my junior brother’s cultivation for now.”
After the leader Daoran said that, he slowly took off into the air, and then flew directly towards the outside of the Spiritual Grass Garden.
In fact, the leader Daoran made this arrangement for two reasons. One is to help improve Chen Qun's actual combat skills, and the other is to see for himself the combat power of the legendary "Chaos Body".
Chen Qun looked at Daoran who was slowly rising into the air and pursed his lips, and said to himself: "Let's just go, don't forget to show off your advanced cultivation."
Although Chen Qun couldn't see through the master Daoran's cultivation.
However, he could feel that the cultivation level of the leader Dao Ran was definitely countless times stronger than that of the sixth elder Dao Qi, whose cultivation level he also couldn't see through.
The second day after the leader Daoran left Lingcao Garden, an explosive news spread throughout the Tiandao Sect.
"Five days from now, Daoyun, a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment at Zhentian Peak, will accept the challenge from monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and above at the Climbing Platform. The monk who wins the challenge will be rewarded with a Gold Condensing Pill and a high-grade treasure. Only Since Daoyun is in the middle stage of foundation building, challengers should start with the middle stage of foundation building, followed by the later stages until the great perfection stage.”
As soon as this news came out, the monks in the entire Tiandao Sect's major mountain peaks who were in the middle stage of foundation building and up to the great completion stage of foundation building became jealous.
It doesn't matter if you have a high-grade treasure, but it doesn't matter if you have a gold-condensing elixir.
That is a necessity to aspire to the Golden Elixir Avenue.
There is only a thin line between the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen monks and the Golden Core monks, but they are also worlds apart.
Because after the golden elixir stage, no matter in any sect, he will be an elder-level patriarch figure.
However, the entire Tiandao Sect disciples were excited and jealous at the same time.
They all started talking because of Chen Qun's Taoist title.
Because most of the golden elixir stage patriarchs of the head generation used the word "dao" that began with the word "dao".
Therefore, when ordinary disciples take Taoist names, they rarely choose to start with the word Tao.
As a result, this guy in the middle stage of foundation building actually dared to choose to start with the word "dao".
As you can imagine, this guy named Daoyun is extremely arrogant.
However, Tiandao Sect cultivates the way of nature and will not be affected by the thoughts of those Confucian cultivators.
Therefore, this name starting with the word "dao" does not represent his seniority, nor does it mean anything within the Tiandao Sect.
As long as the head of Tiandao Sect did not publicly announce Chen Qun's true seniority.
Well, let alone Chen Qun's name being Daoyun, even if he had a name similar to Li Yanhua, no high-level Tiandao Sect disciple would buy his fault.
They will still call Chen Qun based on his strength.
Because more than a thousand years ago, Tiandao Sect had a precedent.
A disciple who was just starting out, his Taoist name was actually similar to that of a former Patriarch-level figure of the Tiandao Sect.
However, after he entered the profession, the head of the Tiandao Sect and the elders of the Tiandao Sect did not ask him to change his Taoist title.
Moreover, the head of the Tiandao Sect at that time once said: "It's just a Taoist name, not an arrangement of generations, so why bother too much. We are practicing the natural way. If we are too affected by the red tape in the world, , wouldn’t that mean sacrificing one’s roots for the sake of the bottom, and claiming one’s own Taoist mind?”
From then on, the Tiandao Sect's disciples wore all kinds of clothes and had Taoist names.
Therefore, Tiandao Sect also attracted ridicule from Xuanjian Sect, a sword cultivator sect, and Lingyun Sect, a Confucianism cultivator sect.
However, the monks of Tiandao Sect still went their own way and did not take their ridicule into consideration at all.
However, despite what he said, many disciples of the Tiandao Sect who maintained their aloofness were not convinced.
They all planned to teach Dao Yun, who was so arrogant that he dared to start his name with the word "dao", a lesson.
They also wanted Chen Qun to realize the reality. Names starting with the word "dao" are not that easy to use!
At this time, Chen Qun didn't know that the Taoist nickname given to him by Li Yanhua would actually bring him a lot of hatred and dissatisfaction.
(Note: Tiandao Sect is divided into six major peaks, Chaotian Peak where the inner disciples live, Dantian Peak where the alchemy disciples live, Xuantian Peak where the true disciples live, Baotian Peak where secret books, treasures and elixirs are stored, the leader Zhentian Peak, the main peak where the elders live, and Yintian Peak in the back mountain. In addition, there are many special camps such as the Outer Gate Residential Area and Lingcao Garden that are not included in the mountain peak.)
The five days passed by in a blink of an eye.
On this day, the entire Tiandao Sect’s Tianzhen Peak seemed to be celebrating the New Year.
The Immortal Climbing Platform of Zhentian Peak was surrounded by disciples from all the major peaks.
At this time, Chen Qun was wearing a mask and a plain blue robe, standing in the center of the Immortal Stage.
Waiting for the challenger to come on stage.
Sitting on the main seat of the Immortal Platform were Sect Leader Dao Ran, Great Elder Daoyuan, Sixth Elder Dao Qi, and Eighth Elder Dao Ci, who was invited by Sect Leader Dao Ran to preside over the competition.
As for the other elders and guests, none of them came.
Those elders and guests have no interest in the petty quarrels of these foundation-building juniors.
Because Chen Qun's identity is very confidential, ordinary elders and guest officials don't know about it.
Now only the head Dao Ran, the great elder Daoyuan and the sixth elder Dao Qi know.
Even the eighth elder Dao Ci, who is currently presiding over the competition, does not know.
As the eighth elder Dao Ci announced the start of the competition.
Directly below the Immortal Platform, a monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building walked up.
Chen Qun looked carefully at the monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
That monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building turned out to be Yu Chao who recruited Chen Qun into the sect.
I saw Yu Chao cupping his fists at Chen Qun and saying, "Yu Chao, the resident deacon of the outer sect, came here to ask for advice from Senior Brother Daoyun."
After Yu Chao said that, he took out his magic weapon, which was a medium-grade spear.
Chen Qun quickly returned the greeting and said, "Please enlighten me."
Then he also took out his magic weapon.
Chen Qun's magic weapon is the flying sword of the high-grade magic weapon level that he bought from Wang Fu in Wanbao Pavilion.
When Chen Qun took out the flying sword, it caused a large-scale commotion.
"It's actually a flying sword at the level of a top-grade magic weapon. Are all the disciples of Zhentian Peak so poor?"
The disciples below kept whispering.
Because some of the wealthy Qi Refining Dzogchen disciples on other mountain peaks have already replaced them with lower-grade treasure-level magic weapons.
As for Chen Qun, a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he actually didn't even have a treasure-level magic weapon.
This is obviously very unreasonable.
When the leader Daoran saw it, his face was filled with black lines.
He originally just wanted to see Chen Qun's strength, but he forgot that Chen Qun was a casual cultivator.
It's just that Chen Qun has just started, so it's normal that he doesn't have a good magic weapon.
The only thing that the leader Daoran didn't expect was that Chen Qun didn't even have a flying sword at the level of a treasure.
At this time, the leader Daoran has secretly planned in his heart that after this competition is over, he will take Chen Qun to Baotian Peak to select some suitable magic weapons.
The leader, Daoran, could only face the First Elder Daoyuan and the Sixth Elder Daoqi, who cast doubtful glances at him, and nodded pretending to be okay.
As for the eighth elder Dao Ci who didn't know why, he even cursed in his heart: "Senior Brother, is this guy an old fool? He asked a junior in the Foundation Establishment Stage to compete with all the sect's Foundation Establishment Stage monks, and he did it Such a huge pomp. What's even more annoying is that this junior just took out a high-grade magic weapon to make a fool of himself. The old guy who is the key leader even specially dragged me out to embarrass myself with him. I'm really ignorant, old man. Even more ignorant."
The Eighth Elder Dao Ci became more and more angry the more he thought about it, but there was nothing he could do.
If he could beat the old guy Daoran, the headmaster, he would have to beat the headmaster Daoran until he couldn't get out of bed for three days.
However, when he thought about the abnormal cultivation level of the leader Daoran.
He just swallowed his breath into his stomach.
The monks in the middle stage of foundation building below the Immortal Platform looked even more disappointed.
They all had an idea, that is, if they had known that Daoyun didn't even have a decent magic weapon, they would have been the first to go up.
Because they initially had the idea of letting others test Daoyun's strength first.
None of them made any moves.
As a result, this boy Yu Chao picked up a gold-condensing pill and a high-grade treasure for nothing.
The monks who were in the later stage of Foundation Establishment and the Great Perfection Stage of Foundation Establishment were even more ashen-faced.
It’s not that they don’t want to go up, but the monks in the middle stage of foundation building have endless competitions and they can’t go up...
However, no matter what the audience is talking about now, it will not affect Chen Qun at this time at all.
This was Chen Qun's first real competition with a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, so he was extra focused and serious.
Chen Qun looked at Yu Chao's fiery spear, attacking like a dragon coming out of the sea.
Chen Qun started with the "Eight Styles of Kendo" to deal with it.
At first, the battle between Chen Qun and Yu Chao was a bit awkward.
But as Chen Qun gradually got used to it, Yu Chao began to sweat more and more on his head.
No matter how Yu Chao attacks with powerful spiritual power.
He would be easily defeated by Chen Qun using extremely simple sword moves.
Chen Qun felt that the more proficient he became in using the "Eight Moves of Kendo", the fewer moves he had.
The original "Eight Styles of Kendo" included dozens of moves, but in the end only four moves were left: cutting, picking, stabbing, and blocking.
Chen Qun can now use all his moves as he pleases.
Yu Chao on the opposite side became more and more frightened as he fought, and he consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
But his attack couldn't touch Chen Qun at all.
After Chen Qun became proficient in the "Eight Styles of Kendo".
He no longer just defended, but started his first offense.
Chen Qun swung his sword, mixed with powerful spiritual power, and knocked away Yu Chao's spear.
Then he hit Yu Chao with a palm, sending Yu Chao flying away, vomiting blood and kneeling on one knee.
After a while, Yu Chao reluctantly stood up.
Then he cupped his hands and cupped his fists and said to Chen Qun: "Senior Brother Daoyun has great magic power. He will be convinced even if he is defeated."
After Yu Chao said that, he clutched his chest and walked off the stage.
When the foundation-building disciples under the Immortal Platform saw this, they all became silent...
