In the eastern part of the Holy Law Empire, within the Luotian Sect, the peaks are buzzing with people because the annual sect competition is about to begin again.
Luo Yifeng, who had not received an invitation to the sect competition for decades, received this long-lost invitation because of the return of the nominal peak leader Gude.
But it was like a slap on Good's face in an extremely ironic way.
Naturally, only the most outstanding disciples on each peak are eligible to participate in the sect competition, and the purpose is to compete for the allocation of sect resources in the coming year.
Each peak sends its strongest disciples to participate in the battle to compete for more resources for their peak.
Disciples participating in the war can not only stand out in front of the unattainable elder peak masters, but also gain a lot of resources for themselves. Therefore, disciples from most factions will fight to the death for this spot.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and there are also a few factions who regard the sect competition as a tiger, just because the sect competition also has penalties.
If the ranking of the disciples sent falls behind the ranking of the peak for five consecutive competitions, the potential of this lineage will be deemed to be low.
Not only will the resources be greatly reduced, but the peaks ranked below will be given a challenge opportunity.
There is no age limit, and one of the strongest disciples on each peak will fight.
If they are successfully challenged by a lower-ranked peak disciple, they will not only lose their resources, but also their own peak.
This means that not only will they receive fewer resources, but the environment for cultivation will also become worse.
The disciple who participates in the sect competition will become the target of rejection by the entire faction, even if he has obtained the qualification to compete based on his strength from his peers in the entire faction.
It is so sad that the strong are laughed at by the weak.
It's just that no matter how sad it is, it's not as sad as Luoyifeng.
Over the years, very few people have been occupied at the top of the mountain, but the one at the bottom of the mountain has remained unchanged all year round.
But if Luo Yifeng was not the last seat, it might have been taken by someone long ago, and we would still have to wait until Gude's return.
There was a wooden table in the middle of the simple wooden house. There was an extremely delicate-looking little boy on the table, looking at the invitation letter on the table.
When he grew up to this age, apart from going up and down every day, the furthest he could go was to follow his mother to a town dozens of miles away.
I have never seen such a beautiful and gorgeous booklet.
The little boy said in a sweet voice: "Dad, what is this? I heard that the senior brother who sent me the message said he was inviting us to participate in the sect competition."
"That senior brother looks well-dressed, but he is really annoying. He looks at our house with disgust and refuses to come in."
Seeing that his father did not respond, the little boy grabbed his father's sleeves and kept pulling them, and asked reluctantly:
"Dad, what is the sect competition?"
The man touched the child's head, looked at Goode, his face was a little heavy, and he said slowly:
"Sir, what do you think? Since I took over Luo Yifeng in your name, this is the first time I have received an invitation in decades."
Gude flicked his gray beard and said with a calm smile: "That means someone has been paying attention to our Luo Yifeng. Since they know that I don't have many disciples at Luo Yifeng, they still sent an invitation. It seems that the purpose is not difficult to guess."
The little boy immediately climbed to the other side of the table, pulled on Gude's beard, and said in a sweet voice: "Grandpa Gude, tell me, what is the purpose of those guys who look down on my family?"
Before Goode could speak, the man had a stern look on his face and said sternly to the little boy, "Xiao Sheng, don't be rude. If you don't obey me, you will go back to your room and copy books!"
Gude waved his hand, indicating that the man did not have to do this, and then said: "Cui Wanshan, you have suffered a lot these years, guarding this peak without any resources."
"They have two purposes for acting like this. The first is to intimidate us, not to snatch the resources that belong to them, and to sit down and hold the number one position for ten thousand years."
"Secondly, the intentions are even more vicious. Knowing that Yudie came with me from outside the empire, and showing her strength and foundation in front of her, if I can abduct Yudie to their peak."
"Then we are also firmly ranked first in ten thousand years, but unfortunately we are last."
After listening to what Gude said, Yudie's face showed a bit of pain. It was not because of being abducted as Gude said.
It was the talent that she was proud of in the Wind and Fire Principality. After arriving here, she found that her talent was only average and her cultivation was not worth mentioning.
Only the alchemy refining skill is outstanding, but the alchemy refining skill cannot be used in combat.
Thinking of this, Yudie felt a little heartbroken. How difficult it would be to revitalize this lineage for Grandpa Gude.
He held his hands tightly, his nails digging into his flesh. Although he was extremely sad, no tears fell.
"What should I do if I can't revitalize the mountain before Grandpa Goode dies?"
"When Grandpa Goode dies, even if you do it, what's the point? Who will show your efforts?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into silence.
At this moment, a pair of beautiful hands gently held Yudie's clenched fists, comforted Yudie and said:
"Don't worry so much. There will be a way to reach the mountain. Only by meeting those strong people can you know your own shortcomings."
"We, husband and wife, and Xiao Sheng have not been the same for so many years. It's good to be able to live happily. We don't have to always think about supporting the revitalization and shouldering such a heavy burden."
"Besides, you often say that there is a brother Yiran, who will definitely come to find you. When the time comes, you will throw the burden of revitalizing Luo Yifeng on him, and you will accompany Grandpa Gude to live his life."
Speaking of Yi Ran, Gude also had a smile on his face and brushed his beard a little faster.
"Little Pei Fei is right. You don't have to worry about Yudie. When that guy Yiran comes, you can leave all the troubles to him. Who let him leave for many years? It seems that the time he left is longer than I’m all grown up now.”
"That guy promised me to protect you, but he left for so many years."
Cui Wanshan, who often heard Yudie talk about Yiran but never asked him in detail, was also interested. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Sir, I often hear Yudie talk about Yiran. It also makes me very curious. I don't know what kind of boy he is." , can make you miss me so much.”
"Furthermore, Yudie is already one of the top monsters in the Principality of Wind and Fire, so even if Yiran is close, he won't be much better, right? Why do you think so highly of him?"
Seeing Cui Wanshan full of curiosity, Yudie was a little shy, but she said excitedly before Goode could do it:
"If I am considered a monster, then he is a monster. How can anyone who has practiced for one year be able to compete head-on with someone who has practiced for six or seven years!"
"Uncle Cui, have you ever seen someone in Luotian Sect who can fight with someone who has practiced for seven years after one year of training?"
Cui Wanshan's pupils shrank, he raised his head and fell into thinking.
As the training time increases, the impact of time on cultivation becomes smaller and smaller. At their age, the six-year gap has almost no change in strength.
But at the beginning of cultivation, the six-year gap was indeed terrifying.
Cui Wanshan couldn't help but ask: "What kind of cultivation can you achieve after one year of practice?"
As if waiting for this sentence, Yudie said excitedly: "Nine-star warrior!"
Cui Wanshan took a breath of air. It took one year to go from an ordinary person to a nine-star warrior. Even if he soaked in a medicine jar, he would not be able to achieve such a speed.
He couldn't help but look at Pei Fei, with something strange in his eyes.
Pei Fei immediately understood what her husband meant, and asked anxiously: "With such a fast cultivation speed, could it be that you have taken some potion that consumes your potential?"
"As far as I know, my father's disciples once took potions with overdraft potential. They improved their cultivation level very quickly in a short period of time, but after reaching a certain level of cultivation, it was difficult to make progress."
Only when I remembered that Yudie and Yiran were both children brought out by Goode, did I realize that they were careless and chaotic.
Yudie smiled and said, "No! That was the first year-end competition in the academy when we were fourteen years old. No one would believe that he dared to participate in the academy's ranking competition after just one year of school."
"What's even more unimaginable is that he went all the way and reached the top ten in the ranking competition. Of course, that's not all!"
Cui Wanshan and Pei Fei immediately opened their mouths, while Cui Sheng looked at his parents curiously.
Both of them have one thing in mind:
"This guy Yiran is not only better than those guys who have practiced for six more years, but those guys are also the best among their peers. So this cultivation level should be completely without moisture, and it is definitely not built up by potions!"
What Yudie said next shocked them even more.
"In the final battle, Brother Yiran's opponent used special means to become possessed. The monk stepped into the role of a martial artist, but was killed by Brother Yiran on the stage!"
As soon as these words came out, even Gude fell into deep thought again.
This is not the first time Yudie talks about Yiran's experience in front of him, but it shocks him every time.
He and Yi Ran lived together for less than a year, but from the calmness he showed when he woke up from a coma in a strange environment, to his wisdom in secretly learning alchemy skills with Yu Die in the valley.
The next step was to grow up all the way to Windfire City, and the emotional fluctuations of his magical talent were not detected. Until he finally sent him to the First Martial Arts Academy, everything was still vivid in his mind.
But he couldn't imagine what he had gone through after he left to have such a terrifying growth.
Even I often think that if I had known that I would leave for six years, I would not be able to improve my potential.
It is better to accompany the two children and watch them grow up, which can also make the two lonely children feel more warmth and protection.
After saying that, Yudie stopped.
Cui Wanshan and his wife were in shock but still looking forward to Yudie's next story. They were also full of curiosity about the boy.
But what Yudie said next left them at a loss.
"After that, brother Yiran left the academy for unknown reasons, and even left the principality to travel abroad."
"I didn't find out until later that it was because he was involved in the undercurrents of the two principalities. Only by secretly leaving the academy could he find hope."
"I won't know about it later. I'll ask Brother Yiran carefully when he comes to Luo Yifeng."
As Yiran's story came out of Yudie's mouth, the heavy atmosphere became more comfortable, and there was no longer any pressure caused by the sect competition.
