A ray of skylight pierced the night, and the sky became dim and bright.
As the purple air came from the east, Taisu Zhengzong suddenly came to life from the silence of the night.
In the past, there must have been many disciples climbing to the top of the mountain, feasting on the clouds to gather energy, and practicing Taoist techniques. But today it is very different. Countless magic weapons escape the light, and cranes and spiritual birds rise from all over the mountain gate, leaving traces in the sky. Huacai, went to the sect competition venue together.
Surrounding a flat land with a radius of several miles, tall stone platforms were built with Taoism at this time. From low to high, they were all equipped with pavilions and corridors. Countless deacons and beautiful women were busy coming and going, and strong men were stationed and patrolling everywhere.
All disciples who come to watch the grand competition can find a seat arranged by the deacon, and there is no need to crowd indiscriminately.
Further up, there are hundreds of flying pavilions hanging in the sky, with a superb view. There are also fairy queens and Taoist boys serving spiritual fruit fairy tea and accompanying them, but this is not something ordinary disciples can ask for. Those who can sit in the Fei Pavilion are all highly skilled in the sect, and they must at least refine the golden elixir to have a place.
Let's not talk about those high-level practitioners. At this time, countless disciples were sitting on the observation platform. Whether they were familiar with each other or not, they were all members of the same sect and had common topics. Suddenly, there was a lot of people and heated discussions.
In fact, there are so many Taisu sect members, and it is rare for such a grand event to attract the attention and participation of almost everyone. This is also the reason why this is the first sect competition held in modern times, which has created today's grand scene.
On the viewing platform, a white ape wearing a Taoist robe, a lotus leaf scarf, and a long sword on his back walked through the crowd and heard a call: "Junior Brother Yuan, this way."
Yuan Hao followed the reputation and saw several familiar disciples gathered in a pavilion, so he walked away. As soon as he entered the pavilion, he heard someone asking: "Junior Brother Yuan, how come you are here so late? The competition is over.”
"Senior Brother Han." Yuan Hao cupped his hands and responded: "I gained a little from practicing last night, but it took some time, so I came too late."
"Oh?" Senior Brother Han looked Yuan Hao up and down and said in surprise: "Congratulations to Junior Brother Yuan for completing the practice."
At this time, someone on the side laughed and said: "Okay, no wonder Junior Brother Yuan was able to achieve top 16 results in the Daoji Competition. It turns out that he is just a step away from achieving success in practicing."
"Tell me quickly, are you suppressing cultivation for the sake of the Dao Ji Competition?"
"What are you talking about?" Yuan Hao said seriously: "My little brother cultivates Taoism in the demon body, and it takes a lot of time to polish his Taoism. Now he has achieved success in practicing. He has been practicing hard day and night, and he has been able to drive ten horses."
"Junior brother Yuan said with the demon body again." The man teased: "You are a disciple of Chong Yunfeng, and you are truly a high ranking disciple."
Yuan Hao sighed: "Senior Brother Wang is making fun of me again. It's been a long time since I saw Master's beauty."
Senior Brother Wang curled his lips and said: "I am obviously envious of you. People like Senior Uncle Xu have naturally been in seclusion for many years. It is a great opportunity to have an elder teach on your behalf and Senior Brother Li to teach you some swordsmanship."
"Okay." Senior Brother Han shook his head and said: "The second game will start soon, don't mess around."
Yuan Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Han, who won the first game just now?"
Senior Brother Wang smiled again: "Of course it's Senior Brother Li."
Yuan Hao said dissatisfied: "Aren't the two senior brothers in the first scene both surnamed Li?"
Senior Brother Han laughed and said: "Who else could it be, Senior Brother Li? Of course it is Senior Brother Li Changfeng."
Another person beside him echoed: "I think Senior Brother Li will definitely be the first in today's competition."
"I don't think so." Someone retorted: "Although Senior Brother Li is powerful, I am too good at inner sect, hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Now that the big competition has come out, all the hermit brothers have been drawn out, and only the eight who are vying for the top spot today are here. There are four or five senior brothers who are not well-known in the sect. Did you expect it before? I am optimistic that senior brother Ling will win the first place."
The man argued: "Senior Brother Li is from a true sect. He has been practicing for decades, and his swordsmanship has been honed to perfection. How can he be compared to others?"
The two bickered for a while, and one of them suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Yuan, which senior brother do you like more?"
Yuan Hao hesitated and said: "Little brother, take a good look at...Senior Brother Zhou."
"What?" The man asked anxiously: "Junior Brother Yuan, I know that you and Junior Brother Zhou started practicing Taoism together and have a very good relationship. But how many years has Junior Brother Zhou practiced? Being in the top eight is already a great achievement. Why? He may be Senior Brother Ling’s opponent.”
Yuan Hao shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Zhou is a genius. He has perfected the practice in just over twenty years. Why can't he be on par with other senior brothers?"
Senior Brother Wang said in disbelief: "Then Senior Brother Li is your Senior Brother Chong Yunfeng, and you are half a preacher. You don't support Senior Brother Li?"
Yuan Hao said dissatisfied: "I support senior brother..." Halfway through, he choked in his throat and thought: "Did I tell you that senior brother Zhou has a magic weapon to protect him? If he doesn't use the magic weapon, he will win against senior brother. The loss is between 50 and 50.”
Senior Brother Han reassured: "Okay, the second match is between Junior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Ling, just watch the battle patiently."
Everyone looked at the venue one after another, and saw that as the golden bell rang, two young monks wearing inner robes came in together. One of them had long hair and a calm face. His name was Ling Donglai. It was also this time. A dark horse suddenly appeared and attracted the attention of many disciples.
A man with a white jade crown in his hair, young, handsome, and high-spirited, is actually a well-known Taoist genius in the sect. Zhou Jun has perfected the practice in more than 20 years. However, in the past, his reputation was all about praising him for his speed in Taoism and his ability to succeed in the sect. In the competition, he passed the test and broke into the top eight, but many people did not expect it.
As the golden bell rings again, no one needs to announce it, and the competition officially begins.
But after all, it was a competition within the sect, so the two of them were not in a hurry to seize the advantage. They bowed to each other and then started to attack in unison.
Ling Donglai flicked his sleeves and saw flying rainbows flying out from it. There were thirty-six flying rainbows in total, and sixteen flying rainbows flew in all directions. He found the direction of the formation gate and hovered, and twenty flying rainbows flew out. Fly towards Zhou Jun.
"Thirty-six Mystic Shuttles, Senior Brother Ling actually brought this treasure right from the start. In the first eight battles, no one dared to take it lightly." The disciple who seemed to admire Ling Donglai very much took a few steps forward. He put his hands on the pavilion railing and said, "I wonder how Junior Brother Zhou should respond?"
As he said, these thirty-six wonderful mysterious shuttles are Ling Donglai's magic weapon. It is because Ling Donglai has practiced the "Tai Su Zhen Xing Sutra" to an extremely deep level. Driving thirty-six mysterious shuttles like an arm, although it cannot be compared with the sword cultivator's split sword light, it is still a very powerful method.
Moreover, among the thirty-six Miao Xuan Shuo, they were not only capable of attacking with flying fire. Guo Jian Ling Donglai’s Xuan Shuo all attacked, but Zhou Jun used his escape light and moved to dodge, but Xuan Shuo seemed unable to perform any feats. Ling Donglai smiled slightly and pointed his magic sword, and a sharp light shot out from both ends of the mysterious shuttle. In an instant, they were connected like a net, and Zhou Jun was trapped in a heavenly and earthly net, and he was gone in an instant. Way to go.
"Wonderful." The disciple gave a high-five and shouted, "Junior Brother Zhou has entered the trap, and the winner is determined."
Yuan Hao secretly said in his heart: "This may not be possible."
Sure enough, Zhou Jun set up his escape light and could only dodge for a few breaths before being forced to a dead end. Instead, he laughed loudly and shouted: "Senior brother Xuan Suo is really wonderful, so I can't hide my secrets anymore."
Ling Donglai looked solemn and cautious, and then he saw Zhou Jun shake his shoulders, and a magnificent and dazzling white light rose from behind, passing in front of him, and the black shuttle net broke, and several pieces of light were swept away. Xuansuo, who was unable to catch up, suddenly made a clanging sound.
Ling Donglai's expression changed, and with a move of his hand, he recalled several Xuansuo in his hand and took a look. As expected, he saw that the golden light of the Xuansuo was dim, and the magic weapon had been damaged.
Before Ling Donglai could be frightened, Zhou Jun had already raised his escape light and was in front of him in an instant. Another scorching light flew out from behind.
In a flying pavilion in the sky, Sun Suzhen's golden sword was sitting on the main seat, and there were Yan Renhe on the left and right. Yuejun showed a few friends, and everyone was drinking tea to watch the battle. Yan Renhe sighed: "Both of these two people have done meritorious deeds." Perfect, profound in Taoism, and the sect has many young talents."
Yan Renhe has been cultivating in Yunmengze for a long time. He received the name of guest minister in Sun Suzhen's mansion, and became a weapon master in Tiangong Palace. He refined magical weapons for Taisu in exchange for training resources, so he called Taisu Zhengzong. Sect.
Yue Junyang smiled when he heard this and said: "This is already the top eight disciples in the inner sect. According to the disciples in the sect, there is a chance that one can reach the top grade golden elixir and be on the 'Dragon and Tiger Ranking'. The current level is as good as it should be." principle."
Sun Suzhen laughed and was about to reply. Suddenly he raised his eyes and saw light shining through the sky. A line of flying rainbow instantly escaped from the sky to the venue. Joy flashed in his eyes. He pointed his hand towards the sky and sent out a message.
The flying rainbow was about to fall when suddenly a message came from here. It whirled in the air and arrived in the flying pavilion in a moment. When it fell to the ground, it splashed with brilliance, like jade beads falling on a plate, bouncing and flashing.
Sun Suzhen stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Xu, long time no see."
As expected, the light dissipated, and Shi Shi, a Taoist with a sword and hairpin, appeared. The red gourd around his waist swayed slightly with his footsteps. He walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Sun, long time no see."
"Junior Brother Xu!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu."
When they saw Xu Zhuang, Yue Junyang and Yan Renhe were both happy and stood up to greet him. Xu Zhuang didn't know how to put on airs and returned the gift with a smile. When he came to Sun Suzhen's side, a Taoist boy hurriedly moved a cangyun wooden armchair. Xu Zhuang said casually. After thanking him, Shi Ran sat down.
After Xu Zhuang entered the pavilion, Sun Suzhen remained silent and stared at Xu Zhuang. When Xu Zhuang sat down, he suddenly asked: "Junior Brother Xu, could it be that you have become a Nascent Soul?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was surprised and paid attention. Xu Zhuang did not hide his clumsiness and responded with a smile: "I went into seclusion and gained a little, so I was lucky enough to become a Nascent Soul."
Xu Zhuang went to the Heavenly Waterfall Realm. Master Dao Chen privately ordered him to go to the Heavenly Waterfall Realm. He claimed to the outside world that he was practicing in seclusion. However, for decades, Sun Suzhen and other friends only said that Xu Zhuang had gone into seclusion and practiced hard in order to cultivate the Nascent Soul, and he had not given birth to a child. What suspicion.
After hearing this, Sun Suzhen said with emotion: "Junior brother has been in seclusion for decades, and he has actually cultivated the Nascent Soul in one fell swoop. Talent and hard work are both indispensable." After saying this, he cupped his hands and congratulated: "Congratulations, junior brother, for cultivating the Nascent Soul." .”
The rest of the people also congratulated each other, and Xu Zhuang accepted the gift with a smile, and then said: "Thank you for your congratulations. Later, Xu will host a banquet for you all at the house. Let's watch the competition today."
"It's extreme, it's extreme."
Everyone turned their gazes to the field again, and saw Zhou Jun and Ling Donglai fighting for several more rounds, and Ling Donglai was finally defeated. Xu Zhuang said: "This man's cultivation is not slow, and his Taoism has not fallen behind. As expected. It’s a spiritual seed.”
Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect that Xu Zhuang had been in seclusion for a long time, but he actually paid attention to the new disciples in the sect.
They didn't know that it happened in front of Xu Zhuang and Sun Suzhen that Zhou Jun came to the Xuanhuang Realm and was allowed to practice in the Taisu Zongzong by Master Daochen. Of course they would never forget it. Sun Suzhen heard this and smiled and said: "Yes, I am very optimistic about it." This boy can take another two or three steps forward in this competition."
Today is the final competition for the top eight practicing disciples to determine the top spot. The competition system adopts a competition system in which eight will advance to four, four will advance to two, and the top spot will be determined. The top four and eight will not be ranked separately. What Sun Suzhen said is, I am optimistic that Zhou Jun can reach the finals and even win the first place.
Xu Zhuang said: "Oh? Senior brother thinks so highly of Zhou Jun?"
Sun Suzhen responded: "This man is very talented. I have also read the "Five Elements and Yuan He Jue" that he practiced. It is quite mysterious. The wonders of the movement of water in it are not much worse than my "The Law of the Return of Ten Thousand Rivers". "
It turns out that "Five Elements and Yuan He Jue" was indeed handed over to Lang Huan by Zhou Jun. Xu Zhuang nodded, and Sun Suzhen continued: "I originally wanted to accept him as a disciple, but I haven't tested him yet. He practiced it when he went on a trip. The Dharma has returned consummated, and this disciple has nothing to teach, so I gave up."
Xu Zhuang asked: "I just came out of seclusion yesterday. I know that today is a competition for practicing disciples, but I don't know who is there."
Sun Suzhen said strangely: "Junior brother's disciple Li Xiaozi is also a popular contestant in this competition, and you, the master, don't even know it."
Xu Zhuang said dumbly: "To be honest, senior brother, until yesterday, I didn't even know when such a grand event as the 'Sect Competition' would happen in our sect."
"Junior brother is really single-minded in seeking the Nascent Soul." Sun Suzhen shook his head and said: "You must not know that the situation in the Divine Continent has changed now, and the demon sect has not yet emerged. Our three sects are fine, and there are many demon sect disciples in the six sects. Started walking, causing a lot of fights.”
"Although I expected that the disciples of the Demon Sect would not dare to invade our Taisu Realm at will, when the disciples of the sect went out, they would inevitably have confrontations with them. Therefore, after consultation with the elders of the three halls, a large number of magic weapons, Taoist books, and spiritual objects were taken out as rewards. , hold a sect competition to hone and cultivate the disciples' ability to fight."
"So that's it." Xu Zhuang frowned and muttered, "If the Demon Sect is really reborn, I'm afraid the Divine Continent will be ravaged by evil spirits again, and all life will be devastated."
"Junior brother said it is true." Sun Suzhen nodded and said, "But perhaps because of concerns about the righteous way of our Xuanmen, the disciples who were born and walked in the Demon Sect this time were quite restrained and did not dare to engage in massacre and refining. They just interacted with the Xuanmen The disciples were fighting for opportunities, so the six factions seemed to care about the rules and did not send out high-skilled monks to sweep away the demonic atmosphere."
"Nature is easy to change but hard to change." Yue Junyang shook his head and said: "The day before yesterday when I was visiting old friends, I saw that the Demon Sect disciples also had many magic weapons such as Nine Sons Yin Fei and Resentful Soul Flags in their hands. Although they were not Wreaking havoc in the Divine Continent... In order to compete with my Xuanmen disciples, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of killing people and practicing magic."
Sun Suzhen sneered and said: "The four major demon sects all have their souls stationed there. If you want to massacre and practice magic, you don't have to be in the Xuanhuang Realm..."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Xu Zhuang asked again: "Four major demon sects? According to the records in the sects, there were eight major demon sects that wreaked havoc in Shenzhou in the past. With the rise of the Xuanmen, the demonic atmosphere was cleared, two families were destroyed, and one family left. Xuanhuang, I think there are still five major demon sects."
Sun Suzhen took a sip of tea, seemed to have changed her mood, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, you may not know something again, so even though a Taoist monk has no time in the mountains, he still needs to communicate with the outside world after practicing."
Xu Zhuang didn't worry, he raised his hands and said with a smile: "Please give me some advice, senior brother."
Sun Suzhen said leisurely: "Thirty years ago, Taixuan Zhenjun went to Xizhou with the Meteor Star Dojo. He used his supreme supernatural power to build a land of thousands of miles outside Jianxia Mountain. He changed the sky, adjusted the earth's atmosphere, and laid thousands of fairy mountains. He has countless pulses and is named Xisu Taixuanzhou!"
Xu Zhuang was slightly surprised. He had known that Taixuan Zong had this intention, but he did not expect that Taixuan Zhenjun would act so vigorously and resolutely. He even named the new continent Taixuan. It was really... a grand plan for a great cause, swallowing up mountains and rivers.
But what does this have to do with the four magic gates?
Without waiting for Xu Zhuang to ask questions, Sun Suzhen said: "Junior brother, do you still remember the Yinji Sect?"
"Shortly after Lord Taixuan set up Xisu Taixuan Continent, the Yinji Sect officially settled in it and set up a mountain gate, becoming the first demon sect to be reborn!"
