But can all the confidence rest on others?
After entering the inner gate, Zhao Ning did not go back to Chixiao Peak directly, but went to the second peak of Yunxiao Peak.
The situation in the peak is still as usual, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely silent, the sound of wind blowing the branches and grass leaves is the only sound in this area.
Zhao Ning squatted in front of the wordless stone tablet at the foot of the peak. She raised her hand to brush away the dust and grass leaves deposited on the stone tablet. There were spiritual patterns floating on the monument. Her fingertips followed the spiritual patterns and traced a few strokes, as if repairing the spiritual patterns. of incompleteness.
"Hey, Fairy Sister? It's Fairy Sister!"
Zhao Ning paused for half a cup of tea in front of the monument and heard the chirping sounds of the little demon spirits.
She turned around and saw two little demon spirits from Yunxiao Peak and three little demon spirits from Chixiao Peak.
"Why are you all here?"
"They themselves said that their cultivation level is going to surpass ours, and they want to fight with us, so we will beat them up." Little Ginseng spoke with his head held high, not showing any guilt at beating his companions.
The little Ganoderma lucidum was also like a megaphone, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, "That's right."
The three little demon spirits from Chixiao Peak had their eyes widened, and tears as big as beans burst out from their eyes. They crowded around Zhao Ning one after another, asking Zhao Ning to support them.
Little Ginseng and Little Ganoderma were not convinced and also squeezed over.
The five little demon spirits made a fuss.
Zhao Ning shook his head, touched their little heads one by one, took out a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill from the storage bag, and let them divide it among themselves.
With the Qi Gathering Pill, there was no fighting, everyone was happily chewing the Qi Gathering Pill like chewing sugar pills.
Zhao Ning looked at them.
"I'm going to be away for a while, and you guys have to show Uncle Master a good look at Fengmen, do you understand?"
Little Ginseng: "I know, I know, no one is allowed in!"
Little Lingzhi: "The annoying uncle who eats Ganoderma lucidum will not be allowed to enter!"
The other three little demon spirits: "We won't even enter!"
Zhao Ning chuckled and looked at them, then at the steep mountain peaks filled with mist.
The wind and clouds are constantly changing and the situation is unstable.
Chapter 102
Three days later, everyone gathered in front of the General Affairs Hall.
The number of people was small, there were a total of twenty outer sect disciples and seven inner sect nominal disciples who were shortlisted.
As soon as Zhao Ning arrived at the General Affairs Hall, she heard an outer disciple whispering, "How come there are so many nominal disciples from the inner sect participating this year? In previous years, three or four people were considered too many."
As he said this, he saw Zhao Ning, and the person he was talking to no longer dared to say anything.
Zhao Ning glanced at the nominal disciples of the inner sect. They claimed to be in the same circle and were incompatible with the outer sect disciples.
Only one or two of these people glanced at Zhao Ning when they were at Chixiao Peak, but none of the others had seen them.
Zhao Ning was not familiar with them. They noticed the sight and glanced in Zhao Ning's direction without saying anything else.
"Zhao Ning."
Zhao Ning heard the shouting and turned around to see Yun Jinfan coming in a hurry.
"The elders haven't arrived yet, I almost fell asleep."
"No, there is still a stick of incense. I have just arrived." Zhao Ning looked at what Yun Jinfan was wearing. It looked like the same disciple's robe from the outer sect, but the spiritual light was swimming on it, and dark patterns flickered and appeared, "You are on the robe. Added a defensive formation?"
"Shhh." Yun Jinfan raised his finger to remind Zhao Ning to keep quiet, "This is not the first time I go to the secret realm. Be prepared and don't let anything happen!"
"Yun Jinfan." Suddenly he heard another call. Yun Jinfan was stunned. He smiled and waved when he saw the person coming, "Senior Sister Minluo."
Mingluo looked her up and down and said, "I can't tell that you were so majestic and powerful that day."
Yun Jinfan blushed, "It's nothing."
"It doesn't matter what you call it. Even real people are impressed and want to accept you as a disciple." Seeing someone mention the matter of accepting a disciple again, Yun Jinfan was afraid that he would ask endless questions like Guo Ying'er last time, so he quickly grabbed Minluo and asked her Who are the people around you?
Mingluo was interrupted, so he had to introduce Chen Tian, who was beside him in Taoist robes with meticulous etiquette. Then he turned around and saw another person. He had some impressions, but couldn't remember.
Zhao Ning introduced, "This is Chen Yuan, a subordinate of Uncle Chai Jin."
Chen Yuan followed Mingluo and the others over, and he bowed his hands to them, like a salute, "Senior Sister Shen, when we left the Storm Secret Realm that day, your cultivation has improved so fast, it's amazing."
Zhao Ning returned the greeting, "Junior Brother Chen said something serious. It's just a fluke."
"Hey, I have seen the strength of the little senior sister in the Storm Secret Realm." Chen Yuanduo said with a smile, "I took the liberty to come here just to ask to work with the little senior sister on the task of drawing the map of the secret realm. I don't know if the young senior sister would mind. no?"
Before Zhao Ning could say anything, he heard someone gathering over and heading straight towards Yun Jinfan.
"Junior sister Jinfan, her strength three days ago was like a heavenly being, so she must protect me and others."
"Little junior sister, not only is she as beautiful as a flower, but her strength is also outstanding."
"Junior sister, can we form a team together?"
For a moment, Zhao Ning and Chen Yuan were pushed aside. Zhao Ning smiled lightly and said to Chen Yuan, "Junior brother Chen, don't you realize you have found the wrong person?"
Chen Yuan smiled naively, "Although Junior Sister Yun's strength is astonishing, she has only seen one move. Chen still trusts his intuition."
Yun Jinfan felt a little embarrassed and guilty after being flattered. He pushed through the crowd and rushed in front of Zhao Ning, holding Zhao Ning's arm by force.
"I'm going to team up with my junior sister, you guys, please step back and step back!"
Everyone wanted to say something else, but seeing that Zhao Ning was wearing the uniform of an inner sect disciple, it was hard to argue with him. What's more, everyone was selected from thousands of places and each had their own pride. Since Yun Jinfan didn't want to, everyone didn't want to show up either. Get closer.
The crowd dispersed, and just as Mingluo was about to laugh, he saw that there was still one person left, looking at this person with the appearance of a scholar.
"Could it be that scholars are the most persistent?"
Scholar Huo Hui cupped his hands and smiled, "Huo is indeed persistent. When I met him in front of the task monument that day, I wonder if Junior Sister Shen and Junior Sister Yun still remember Xiaosheng."
Yun Jinfan smiled shyly and said, "Senior Brother Huo is the most powerful. I heard that he has won the Qi Perfection in the ring."
"Okay, you guys are complimenting each other back and forth, but I am the most ordinary one." Mingluo teased. She was the one with the highest cultivation level among them. Like Chen Yuan, she was at the ninth level of Qi training, and her spiritual pressure was even higher than Chen Yuan's. Going one step further, "Then you guys talk, I'm leaving."
"Oh, Senior Sister Ming, you are the most powerful." Yun Jinfan quickly grabbed Minluo and hugged her waist like a baby, "If you leave, I won't feel safe anymore."
A few people were chatting and laughing. Zhao Ning rarely participated in their conversation and watched silently. Suddenly she felt a bit of attention. She glanced around without any trace. Although there were not many people in front of the hall, there were many divisions. In the circle, the outer sect disciples are in small groups. In addition to the new disciples who are all gathered together, there is also an inner sect circle far away from the center. They rarely communicate with each other. They only communicate with each other through their eyes, as if they are exchanging information that is only known to them. information.
Dong dong dong——
At this moment, the bell in front of the General Affairs Hall rang suddenly.
The disciples who were talking to each other immediately stopped talking and stood up in an orderly manner. After a while, they saw four outer sect leaders coming out of the hall. They did not say anything, but just waited quietly like them. After about half a stick of incense, , a huge shadow casts down from above.
Everyone looked up and saw the huge Yunzhou hovering on top of them. Standing on the outer edge of the Yunzhou were two Foundation Establishment Master Uncles. They steered the ship with expressionless faces. Four outer sect chiefs led everyone to greet them.
An Uncle Foundation Architect was impatient and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's go."
Under the arrangement of the leader, all the disciples participating in the second round of the competition went to Yunzhou in an orderly manner.
It was not the first time for everyone to ride on the Yunzhou, but they could not help but be shocked by the mysterious aura and the gorgeous and mysterious formations. As soon as they stood firmly on the Yunzhou, they wanted to say a few words to the people around them, but out of the corner of their eyes, I caught a glimpse of the pavilion on the boat. In the pavilion, two elders in purple robes were playing chess. They were actually two Jindan masters.
For a moment, everyone did not dare to say anything more and just sat on the ground in Yunzhou meditating.
After the Yunzhou boat passed by for a few hours, Yun Jinfan couldn't sit still. He looked around, came close to Zhao Ning, and asked in a low voice, "If it's not just a small competition, why are there two real people coming with the boat?"
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes and said, "Perhaps there were a lot of troubles when the Little Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Grottoes appeared before. The sect must be just in case."
"Oh..." Yun Jinfan drawled her voice, and she probably didn't hear it. Her original intention was not on this issue. She endured it but couldn't help it, and lowered her voice again, "I see Master Wu Hui is here, He was the one who supervised Xiaobi in the first round. I rejected him before, he wouldn’t let me wear small shoes.”
Zhao Ning comforted him, "The real person has gone through vicissitudes of life and has a broad mind. He won't mind."
Yun Jinfan pursed his lips, "That's not necessarily the case. Some people live tens of thousands of years, but they still have to take revenge."
She said it like the sound of a mosquito, Zhao Ning just pretended not to hear it.
But Zhao Ning pretended not to hear it, but Jindan Zhenren in the pavilion heard it and made fun of it.
"I said, brother Wu Hui, you have lived for two hundred years, but you are a vengeful person who must retaliate?"
"Hey, why should I care about this little girl? Besides, I think this girl is extraordinary, and I really want to accept her as my disciple. If she doesn't want to, then it means I'm not qualified enough."
"Oh? Brother Wuhui is the most promising elder of our Qingxiao Sect to be promoted to Nascent Soul within a hundred years. Why is he still not qualified enough?"
"What's the use of the most promising promotion? It's not the Ziying who is deified by the top-grade golden elixir. In the end, it will return to dust and return to dust." Master Wuhui held the black seed and fell, "There are many good talents in this generation, I hope they will all Leave it to them.”
The Yunzhou was extremely fast, and it was just after noon when it arrived at the Qianren Mountains. From the Yunzhou, everyone looked at the Qianren Mountains. The mountains stretched like giant dragons, and the mountains in the distance towered into the clouds, like a chasm separating two skies.
"I heard that behind that mountain range is the Bianzhou Cultivation World. The Bianzhou Cultivation World is extremely powerful. I heard that its strength is the strongest among all nine states."
"Of course, the Bianzhou cultivation world follows the way of swordsmanship, which means using offense to defend and using offense to gain momentum. I heard the first master uncle say before that the way of swordsmanship is not the way of killing, but I don't think so. The use of swordsmanship is extremely unfair. Just kill with such ferocity that you can survive under the sword?"
Zhao Ning glanced in the direction of the speaker and saw an outer disciple, who was also equipped with a gorgeous spiritual sword. It seemed that there were two levels of restrictions on the sword.
"Don't praise the power of the cultivators in Bianzhou. You don't know that the cultivator community in Bianzhou is also the poorest in Kyushu. I heard that a man who was regarded as the sword master thousands of years ago went to Xuanjing Jihan Palace to exchange for the sword of his destiny. Han Zhixin, because he didn’t have any spiritual stones, went to work as a handyman in Jihan Palace, and there’s been no news yet.”
This kind of gossip is something people want to talk about.
"Jian Zhenren is not the first person under the Nascent Soul as rumored, so how can he still be used as a handyman."
"I heard that the Jihan Palace is full of female cultivators. I'm afraid he doesn't go to the Jihan Palace to work as a handyman, but to pick peach blossoms in the Jihan Palace."
Listening to the gossip getting louder and louder, the Uncle Foundation Architect at the helm coughed in time.
Another uncle, a foundation-building master, gave everyone a cold look and said, "You can arrange the gossip of real people at will."
Although it was a cold look, there was still a hint of unfinished meaning, but he glanced at the pavilion and added, "Don't disturb the real person's game."
The Qianren Mountain Range has been restricted by formations since ancient times. Non-Nascent Souls cannot cross it, and even Yunzhou cannot pass it. Fortunately, this Xiaobi Secret Realm was only in the distant mountains of the Qianren Mountains, and the flight restrictions were not too great. Yunzhou flew at a low altitude and hovered in front of a mountain peak after half an hour.
All the disciples followed the leader and got off the Yunzhou boat, waiting for Uncle Establishment Master to give instructions.
The two foundation-building master uncles pinched out magic spells in tacit understanding, flipped their handprints, and the magic seals gathered together to form a strange array of magic patterns.
"Now!" The two shouted at the same time, the Dao pattern suddenly lit up, and the mountain peaks echoed it.
A huge array appeared in the center of the mountain peak, and bright light swam in the array, and then the entire mountain peak changed in front of his eyes.
It was no longer a complete mountain peak, but more like a heavenly gate. The mountain peak was split into two halves vertically from the center. The seals were gathered together and rotated into a circular light gate in the center of the heavenly gate, with countless formations and symbols surrounding it.
"This is the teleportation gate of Ten Thousand Cave Secret Realm."
