In a blink of an eye, the day came for the foundation building competition.
There are three disciples from Aoki Peak participating in this competition, namely the true disciple Ni Sizhu, and the registered disciples Bi Changan and Lin Dong.
Except for Zhuzhu, who is still in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, the other two senior brothers have been in the Great Perfection realm of Foundation Establishment for many years.
I just have to wait for this time to participate in the foundation building competition and get a good ranking before entering the Golden Core stage.
I heard from Master that the top 100 in this foundation building competition will each receive 5,000 sect points and a set of fifth-level robes, which is considered a generous reward.
In addition, if the outer sect's foundation-building monks are among the top 100, they can enter the inner sect and become a registered disciple of the True King.
The top ten foundation-building disciples will not only be rewarded with 10,000 point disciples and sixth-level robes, but will also go to the Hongmeng Secret Realm in the South China Sea for training.
The Hongmeng Secret Realm appears in the South China Sea every twenty years. Two major sects, Tianyun Sect and Guanhai Sect, hold the secret key that can open the secret realm.
There are many ancient palaces and medicine gardens, countless secret treasures of heavenly materials, earthly treasures and techniques. There are also many ancient great monsters, and they have to guard against other sect disciples snatching resources, so it is also very dangerous.
However, this secret realm can only be entered by people with cultivation levels below the Golden Core stage, and only a maximum of one hundred people can enter at a time.
In addition to the two major sects each sending ten foundation-building monks, occupying 20 places, the other 80 places were given to small and medium-sized sects and some hidden families.
After all, the overall strength of cultivators in Tianyuan Continent is still much weaker than that of other continental sects in several states.
In the past few thousand years, no senior Dongxu has broken through to the Mahayana stage, let alone ascended.
Therefore, even if the two major sects are in charge of the secret key of Hongmeng Secret Realm, they must also consider the improvement of the strength of cultivators in the entire Tianyuan Continent. They cannot blindly develop their own sects, but must work together to improve as a team.
Otherwise, the strength of Tianyuan Continent would not be comparable to that of other states.
The secret treasures obtained by the top ten foundation-building monks are personal belongings and do not need to be handed over to the sect, but they need to hand in the prescribed number of spiritual plants unique to the Hongmeng Secret Realm.
If the required number of spiritual plants is not handed in, if the number is almost the same, the sect can be compensated by the amount of spiritual stones that are equal to the missing spiritual plants. If the number is nearly half, all the points and other rewards of the top ten foundation-building monks will be confiscated.
Those who differ by more than half will be expelled from the inner sect and become outer sect disciples.
Therefore, most of the disciples who enter the Hongmeng Secret Realm will hand over their spiritual plants as required.
Moreover, every time the secret realm is opened, the disciples will be given half a month. They have enough time to complete the tasks prescribed by the sect, and there is also extra time to hunt for treasures.
After listening to the master's story, Zhuzhu began to yearn for the Hongmeng secret realm.
Originally, I thought it would be good to be among the top 100 foundation builders, but now the top ten can go into the secret realm to hunt for treasures, and can also meet the disciples of the Guanhai Sect on Penglai Immortal Island.
If we could compete with them and know the approximate strength of those sect disciples, wouldn't we be able to learn from each other's strengths and offset their weaknesses?
It would have been better if Zhuzhu had hoped to get into the top 100 of foundation building before so as not to embarrass Aoki Peak.
After hearing about the Hongmeng Secret Realm, a raging fighting spirit arose.
————
A total of more than 1,300 foundation-building monks participated in the sect's foundation-building competition this time.
Among them, there are more than 300 in the inner sect, and about 1,000 in the outer sect.
The foundation-building disciples of the outer sect compete for the opportunity to enter the inner sect, while the disciples of the inner sect compete for the opportunity to enter the Hongmeng secret realm.
So everyone is very motivated and goes all out.
The foundation building competition arena is located in the Lotus Peak Square where the leader is located.
On the first day, there were one hundred people in the Tianguang Arena, and they used the method of drawing lots to fight against each other.
Zhuzhu drew the number ninety-nine and needed to go on stage in the first round, which corresponded to the number one thousand two hundred and twenty-one.
Not long after she stepped onto stage ninety-nine, a male cultivator in the late stage of foundation building wearing the attire of an outer sect disciple came onto the stage.
He is number one thousand two hundred and twenty-one.
The man looked to be around thirty or forty years old. Based on his cultivation, he was probably between eighty and ninety years old.
At this age, if you want to enter the golden elixir stage before you turn 100, it will be difficult to do so unless you have a great opportunity.
There is still one way to enter the inner gate, which is to enter the top 100 in the foundation building competition.
This male cultivator signed up for this opportunity. If he didn't work hard, he might have to stay outside for the rest of his life.
As a disciple of Tianyun Sect, no one is willing to be an outer disciple for the rest of his life.
So when the male cultivator saw that his opponent was just a young girl in the middle stage of foundation building, he couldn't help but feel happy.
But after all, the other party is a true disciple, and she is also a delicate and beautiful little girl. The male cultivator still crossed his fists politely: "I am Chu Feng of Baicao Peak, the outer sect. May I ask how I call this junior sister?"
"Aoki Peak Ni...Sizhu." Zhuzhu was a little reluctant to give her name.
She was too embarrassed to pretend to be cold when the other party was so polite.
Sure enough, the male cultivator named Chu Feng was stunned. He almost thought Zhuzhu was cursing, but he soon realized that her name was Ni Sizhu.
Although the name is strange, the little girl, as a true disciple of the inner sect, does not look down on the outer disciples at all.
For this reason, Chu Feng had a good impression of her and decided to be gentler in the fight later and just stop there.
"Junior sister Ni, please!" Chu Feng stretched out his hand to let Zhuzhu make the first move.
Zhuzhu nodded and directly used the third level of Thorns Technique [Thorn Swamp] to trap Chu Feng inside.
Countless thorns stretched out from the swamp, tightly surrounding Chu Feng and pulling him deeper into the swamp.
Chu Feng didn't expect that the opponent would use a big move, and was a little caught off guard.
But after all, he is a veteran foundation-building monk and has rich combat experience.
He quickly reacted and used his body skills to avoid the iron thorns and escape from the swamp.
But before he could regain his footing, a vine wrapped around his ankle. Before he could take action, the vine picked him up and threw him out of the ring.
The speed was so fast that Chu Feng didn't even react. He didn't even have a chance to take action. He was already lying under the ring and lost the game.
Zhuzhu, who easily won the match, walked off the ring, hugged him and started watching other monks compete without even a word of apology.
"She defeated you completely by surprise. Why do you still look so confident?"
Some of Chu Feng's friends from the outer sect couldn't bear to feel sorry for him, "If you hadn't let her make the first move, how could she have defeated you? Even if she did, it wouldn't be so easy."
Chu Feng didn't expect that he would be eliminated in the first round, so he looked very depressed.
But thinking back on what happened in the battle just now, Junior Sister Ni didn't do any dirty tricks, and she didn't even give him the ability to fight back.
It was only his own lack of strength that was to blame. As long as his strength was the same as that of Junior Sister Ni, even if she made the first move, he would still have the ability to adapt.
"Okay, this is probably the difference between us outer disciples and inner disciples. In the final analysis, we are still not good at cultivation."
Chu Feng quickly thought about it. Even if he could barely defeat Junior Sister Ni who was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and there were so many inner disciples who were in the later stage of Foundation Establishment, he still couldn't make it into the top 100.
"Brother Chu is right." Another outer disciple said, "Actually, you did not lose unfairly. Do you still remember the handyman female disciple who challenged the Foundation Establishment Stage with the tenth level of Qi Refining eight years ago?"
Chu Feng was in seclusion at the end of the attack on Foundation Establishment, so he didn't catch up to watch, but other outer disciples watched the competition.
In addition to challenging the foundation-building monks with Qi refining cultivation, the most important thing is that there was also a True Lord and several True Lords who appeared at the same time, which made them, the outer disciples who rarely saw the True Lord, very excited. .
