Towering mountains, flying waterfalls, misty water vapor, and splashing pearls add a touch of coolness and dispel the long summer heat.
In the Tiankui Peak Square, disciples from all peaks and valleys gathered together, rubbing shoulders and conversing.
Jiang Yuebai and Yun Shang landed on the white marble steps together, put away their flying swords and looked up.
There are nearly a thousand disciples gathered in the huge square. Except for the inner disciples and direct disciples who are all dressed in spiritual light treasure clothes, most of them are outer disciples in blue and handyman disciples in gray.
This competition is open to the entire sect, and anyone who has reached the seventh level of Qi training or above, regardless of their status, can participate.
Yun Shang hugged Jiang Yuebai's arm and shrank behind her, cooing softly.
"Didn't there be preliminary rounds for the arena in previous years? Why are we all gathered here today?"
Jiang Yuebai scratched his forehead, "I don't know either, let's take a look first."
Jiang Yuebai led Yun Shang through the crowd to find Lu Nazhi and Xie Jingshan. The three of them talked all night long the day before yesterday. They took a rest yesterday and agreed to meet in the square early this morning.
"You've all heard, right? One hundred disciples from the Guiyuan Sword Sect are participating in this competition."
"How is this possible? If people from the Guiyuan Sword Sect occupy the top fifty, won't we not be able to get the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"It's really unfair, and I heard that the five strongest ones from the Guiyuan Sword Sect during their Qi training period are also here, especially Zhuo Qingfeng. Not to mention invincible at the same level, he is now at the ninth level of Qi training and is not afraid even in the early stages of foundation building. "
"How can you make others' ambitions destroy your own prestige? The Guiyuan Sword Sect has Zhuo Qingfeng, and we also have Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan. Their swordsmanship is not bad, and they will never lose to the Guiyuan Sword Sect."
"That's right, we disciples of the Tianyan Sect are not easy to bully. Since the Guiyuan Sword Sect dares to come, I will try my best not to take the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, but also to make the people of the Guiyuan Sword Sect look good."
"Go ahead, talk like you can be in the top fifty."
Listening to the discussions around her, Yun Shang looked worried.
"What should Xiaobai do? It will be more difficult to capture the Foundation Establishment Pill this time."
"Just try your best. It doesn't matter if you really can't get it. Just think of other ways, Anan!"
When Jiang Yuebai saw Lu Nazhi and Xie Jingshan, he stepped on his feet and waved.
This voice attracted many eyes. Yun Shang nervously pinched Jiang Yuebai's arm and lowered her head to fiddle with her bangs.
Jiang Yuebai walked over. Lu Nazhi was talking to a sickly male cultivator. Standing next to him was Shen Huaixi, who looked like a gentle breeze.
Jiang Yuebai frowned slightly, and Shen Huaixi held her hand first, "I've met Senior Sister Jiang."
Xie Jingshan glanced at the two people from the side, hooked Shen Huaixi's shoulders, and joked: "How do you know Jiang Yuebai? I feel quite familiar with him?"
Shen Huaixi said calmly: "We just met once."
Jiang Yuebai couldn't see through Shen Huaixi. He didn't show it on his face, but was secretly guarded in his heart.
The person who was talking to Lu Nanzhi was Song Zhiang, who had the spiritual roots of gold and fire, was at the seventh level of Qi training, and was the disciple appointed by True Lord Canghuo.
Currently, he is led by Yu Qiuchi, who follows the same path of weapon cultivation as Yu Qiuchi.
"I met Junior Brother Song when I was under Jiang Yuebai."
Jiang Yuebai took the initiative to say hello, but he ignored her.
"Senior Sister Jiang, don't be surprised. Senior Brother Song is not good at words and is a cold-hearted person." Shen Huaixi came to the rescue.
Jiang Yuebai didn't care and glanced at Shen Huaixi.
After listening to Xie Jingshan's introduction, she learned that Shen Huaixi had a single tree spiritual root. He was famous when he first started, but later disappeared because Shen Huaixi practiced medicine and was not good at fighting.
Because of this, Shen Huaixi is very popular in the inner sect. When everyone goes out to do tasks, they will invite Shen Huaixi to come with them.
Xie Jingshan and Shen Huaixi had a close personal relationship, and they were considered brothers. Jiang Yuebai didn't know how to tell Xie Jingshan about Shen Huaixi and Lin Suiwan.
At this moment, we can only wait until Xiao Bi is over before explaining to Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan, lest Xie Jingshan cannot hide the matter and affect Xiao Bi.
Jiang Yuebai pulled Yun Shang to her side, "Anan, this is the Yun Shang I mentioned to you. Her talent and ability in controlling beasts are the strongest I have ever seen, and she is also a very nice person."
Yun Shang blushed, "No, I'm not as good as she said."
Lu Nanzhi said generously, "Nanzhi has met Senior Sister Yun."
Yun Shang waved her hands in fear, "Don't call me senior sister. You are the number one in the inner sect. If you call me senior sister... I will be embarrassed."
Yun Shang is two years older than the three of them, but in terms of maturity, she is not as mature as Lu Nazhi and Jiang Yuebai.
"Senior Brother Song, would you like to come with me to find Senior Brother Xiao?"
Shen Huaixi was very sensible and took Song Zhiang elsewhere.
"It's just a flatterer who wants to cling to Lu Nanzhi. Why do you have to be so polite to her, Huaixi?"
"Senior Brother Song, please be careful. Senior Sister Jiang is younger than you and I, and she is from the same batch of beginners. How can she be mediocre if she can reach the eighth level of Qi training? If she can be favored by Senior Sister Lu and Senior Brother Xie, she must have Outstanding."
"What's so great about me? If you and I openly take pills, what's the point of practicing the eighth level of Qi?"
Lu Nazhi glanced at Song Zhiang and saw that Jiang Yuebai's expression had not changed, and then said: "I heard that this competition is hosted by the Supreme Elder. With her temperament, I guess she will throw us into a secret realm to fight in a melee."
"Is the Supreme Elder back? What about Elder Li?"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were filled with excitement, and he looked around, but he didn't see any high-ranking members of the sect.
Lu Nanzhi took out a pieced jade plate, took out three pieces and distributed them to the three of them.
"No matter what the situation is, be prepared. As long as these jade pairs are within a hundred miles of each other, they will produce stronger and stronger suction as the distance approaches, guiding each other to join together. You can put them outside the storage bag. good."
Yun Shang took it with both hands, looked at Lu Nanzhi cautiously, and blushed happily.
Jiang Yuebai nodded and took out a few things to share with everyone.
"These are the skylark puppets and viewing mirrors that I made myself. There are three for each person. The skylark puppet can detect everything within a range of fifty miles, but the viewing mirror can only view the movie in real time within a range of ten miles. If you go outside this range, you have to wait for the skylark. The puppet came back and took out the photo jade to check. Oh, by the way, it can self-destruct at critical moments, which is equivalent to an eighth-grade detonating talisman."
Seeing this, Yun Shang hurriedly pulled out four palm-sized spirit animal bags from his lapel, grabbed three little mice from one of them, put them into the empty spirit animal bags and handed them to the three of them.
"This is... the spirit rat I cultivated. It is very sensitive to smells and dangers. It is also good at identifying directions and will not be disturbed by the maze."
Xie Jingshan held a bunch of things in his arms and said awkwardly: "I have nothing except spirit stones. Are you short of spirit stones?"
Yun Shang shook his head, while Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nazhi rolled their eyes.
Xie Jingshan looked anxious, "You two, just wait for me. I won't be merciful when Xiao Bi starts."
Jiang Yuebai chuckled, "I beg you to kill me, and you will do the same, Anan."
Lu Nanzhi said, "Don't worry, no matter who I meet, I will treat them equally and do my best. However, I will give you the jade pendant in the hope that you can survive until the end. When all obstacles are cleared, we can decide the outcome again."
Yun Shang watched the three of them competing against each other and chuckled to himself.
There was an uproar and everyone looked in the same direction.
I saw five giant swords coming through the air, with majestic momentum, advancing in tandem.
On the giant sword, there are five foundation-building monks in azure uniforms in front, and behind them are twenty disciples in azure clothes.
The giant sword hung above the square, and hundreds of Qi training disciples moved in unison and pointed at the sword.
The long swords were unsheathed behind them and formed into a long river. After a circle, hundreds of Qi training disciples jumped on the long swords and rushed downwards, landing on the square one after another.
"Oh, what a show of authority." Xie Jingshan said with disdain.
"The leader is Zhuo Qingfeng, right? He's not bad looking~" Jiang Yuebai stared at the fifteen-sixth-year-old boy in the lead.
He stood upright, holding a sword in his hand, with a bit of sharpness hidden in his eyes. He was like a green pine on the cliff of a cold mountain, aloof, cold and arrogant, out of touch with the world, and incompatible with everything around him.
"You're not bad looking at all. You just look like a donkey dung egg with a shiny surface." Xie Jingshan crossed his arms in annoyance.
Jiang Yuebai was too lazy to pay attention to him. There were four people behind Zhuo Qingfeng, two men and two women. Their temperaments were also different from the others, very eye-catching.
Lu Nanzhi explained from the side, "It is said that the Guiyuan Sword Sect has existed since the ancient times, and is older than the Tianyan Sect. There are endless swordsman masters in the sect, and they have always occupied the top ten in the earth spirit world's combat power list. If it weren't for our Tianyan Sect back then, The Patriarch defeated the ten sword masters of the Guiyuan Sword Sect with one block, and the Tianyan Sect may still be an unknown sect to this day."
"I went to inquire last night. Zhuo Qingfeng and the other five are all at the ninth level of Qi training. Zhuo Qingfeng has already comprehended the sword intention of the violent wind. Xu Qianjin and Xu Qiancheng, two siblings, one strong and one soft, and Hua Yingshi's twelve The Flower God Sword and Zhao Kunling's heavy sword Bengshan are both difficult to deal with, and they are also proficient in the three sword formations of Liangyi, Sancai and Sixiang."
"If you meet them, you may be able to fight alone. If there are more than two people, don't fight head-on. The sword cultivator's combat power has always been at the top in the entire cultivation world. The bonus of the sword formation cannot be underestimated. We must fight It takes 120,000 hours of energy.”
As soon as Lu Nazhi finished speaking, a phoenix cry resounded through the sky, a soundless bird.
The sloppy female cultivator was carrying a wine pot, sitting cross-legged on the back of the white-feathered phoenix, flying from Tianxian Peak.
Wen Ci, the leader of the Tianyan Sect, also led a group of monks out of the Tiankui Peak Hall.
