More than ten days passed by in a flash, and the day of the sect competition was approaching.
The Heavenly Beast Sect holds such sect magic fights to promote the cultivation of disciples in the spiritual forging stage, and also to allow the strong to obtain more sect resources. The stronger they become, the weaker will gradually be eliminated and lose many of the sect's supplies. Becoming weaker and weaker. Such differences in strength are common among immortal sects that are based on cultivation potential, and there is not much to criticize.
During this biennial sect grand gathering, the deacons and disciples of the inner and outer sects were busy for a while. They put up lanterns and streamers in front of the pavilions along the way, and swept the ground leading to the competition venue clean.
The place where this grand meeting was held was a place called "Blue Stone Platform", which was a huge stone platform on the top of a stone mountain that stretched between the six peaks of Tianshou Mountain, with a radius of nearly a hundred feet.
The entire stone platform is as flat as water, like a knife and an axe, with a blue cross-section. This is why the Bluestone Platform is named. Most of the major events of the Heavenly Beast Sect are held here.
Over the past ten days, Liu Qingyi's ring technique training has made new progress. Not only has the fifth spiritual wave appeared, but he has also been able to gather the power of the previous four waves and superimpose it into the spiritual ring, and five waves have appeared simultaneously. Underneath it, there is such great power that it can penetrate gold and crack rocks.
The night before the sect's grand competition, Liu Qingyi accompanied Xu Xiangying to build stone platforms on the bluestone plain. Following dozens of gray-clothed disciples who worked back and forth for most of the night, they finally built a row of thirty stone platforms.
Liu Qingyi saw a deacon in gray clothes carving numbers one by one in front of the stone platform. While taking a rest, Liu Qingyi asked Xu Xiangying about the rules of the sect competition.
Xu Xiangying looked at the thirty small stone platforms lined up, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face, "Have you not seen the thirty stone platforms arranged in a row?"
"You see, what's the point of putting it up so hard? Could it be that tomorrow's sect competition will be a brick-moving competition?" Liu Qingyi looked confused.
Xu Xiangying coughed lightly and scolded with a smile: "You idiot, this is called an arena, do you understand? Look at these arenas from one to thirty. Tomorrow you only need to go up and capture one of them and defend it for the whole day. That is that arena. If we disciples in gray clothes want to be promoted to Tsing Yi again, we must become the masters of the first ring among these thirty stone platforms. All the previous sect competitions of Tianshou Sect have been decided in this way of attacking and defending. Come on famously.”
Liu Qingyi said with some clarity: "So it seems that the numbers one to thirty carved on this stone platform are the rankings of the sect competition?"
Xu Xiangying nodded and said: "You guessed it right, the numbers of these thirty stone platforms from one to thirty represent the top thirty. If you want to rank higher, you need to challenge the number update If the challenge is successful, the leader of the ring who ranks higher will automatically become the ring leader of that ring. According to the practice of previous sect competitions, the higher the ranking, the richer the sect's rewards will be. If we can advance to the top ten, hey, that would be amazing."
"What's so weird? Is it possible to get the priority allocation rights for those female disciples of the sect?" Liu Qingyi had a weird smile on his face.
Xu Xiangying was stunned for a moment, repeatedly smacking the word 'priority allocation', and laughed and cursed for a long time: "What the hell are you thinking!" Then a look of memories appeared on his face, "I remember the last time the sect The top ten people in the competition seem to be rewarded with immortal arts and spirit stones, I wonder what they will get this time?"
"Ling Yuan Stone?" Liu Qingyi's voice was surprisingly loud. He still remembered this object clearly. He had seen Li Feng and Xiao Wanling each use one at the Spirit Selection Ceremony, and he knew the power of this Lin Yuan Stone to increase spirits in battle. .
"That's not it. That thing is a good thing, but it's a pity that I don't have it."
Seeing Xu Xiangying smiling to himself and showing a bit of embarrassment on his face, Liu Qingyi then thought about participating in the sect competition. Once he was promoted to a Tsing Yi disciple, he would have to live in the same place and part ways with him, and he couldn't help but feel a strong feeling in his heart. Reluctant to give up.
After calming down for a long time, he said to Xu Xiangying: "Brother, I won't hide it from you. The day before yesterday, I signed up to participate in this sect competition, and I was about to take this opportunity to be promoted to the rank of Tsing Yi. The ten points of merit every month, now It’s really not of much use to me.”
Xu Xiangying was dumbfounded for a moment after hearing this. He looked at Liu Qingyi blankly and said with a look of disbelief: "Junior brother, you are so rash, why are you like this? This sect's great competition is you, an entry-level disciple of the first and second levels of Lingxiu. Is it possible to go there? What’s so good about being a disciple in Tsing Yi? What’s so good about Spiritual Cultivation Valley? Why are you so stubborn? Could it be that your senior brother has treated you poorly and made you so obsessed with it that you want to be a living target for others."
Liu Qingyi's voice was slightly sour: "No, it's just me... I encountered some opportunities in the Heavenly Beast Mountain during the previous sect mission, and I broke through to the fifth level of the Spiritual Forging Stage, so I thought of trying my luck."
Xu Xiangying was shocked and said: "This is impossible." As he said this, he grabbed Liu Qingyi's right hand and used his spiritual power to probe it.
I saw the spiritual light flowing in Liu Qingyi's right hand, and with just a gentle move, he flicked away the hand he was holding and his wrist.
Xu Xiangying returned his palm as soon as he touched it, sensing the extremely majestic spiritual power in Liu Qingyi's body. He seemed to be in disbelief and said: "You have only just started, and it has not even been half a year. How many benefits has the Zuo woman given you?" ?”
"I can rely on myself." Liu Qingyi raised his brows and his chest involuntarily puffed up slightly.
Xu Xiangying curled his lips slightly and sighed loudly: "I really misunderstood. I didn't expect that you have such strength. If you continue to be a disciple in gray clothes, it is really... a little unreasonable." After speaking, the voice suddenly changed. Faintly excited.
Seeing Liu Qingyi with his head lowered and standing nearby without saying a word, Xu Xiangying said again: "Then why don't you leave quickly? What are you doing here? Let's go back for a while to rest and recuperate. There is nothing left to do here. Just leave it to me and don’t worry about it.”
Liu Qingyi looked at Xu Xiangying's serious look and couldn't think of anything to say for a moment. Seeing that he kept driving her away, she had no choice but to return to Datongpu alone and slept in her clothes for several hours.
The sky was brightening, and as soon as Liu Qingyi finished washing, when he came to the bluestone field again, he saw that it was full of longing figures.
There was a deacon in gray standing under each of the thirty stone platforms. On one side under the twenty-sixth stone platform, Xu Xiang Yingzheng looked at him with a tired look on his face, with a strong look of expectation in his eyes.
A wooden table has been set up at the entrance of Qingshiyuan. There are three leather chairs placed in front of the wooden table. Next to them stand two deacons in gray clothes, standing with their heads bowed.
After the sound of the golden cauldron, three people of immortal style slowly entered the room.
The first person was a middle-aged man with a beard. The muscles on his face were as sharp as a knife. He was extremely tall, like an iron tower. Among the next two people, there was a middle-aged man with a fair face and a high crown on his head, who was extremely elegant and elegant. The last person was Elder Nie Zhong, whom Liu Qingyi was already familiar with in Lan County.
The three of them sat on the three chairs in front of the wooden table one after another. One of the deacons standing on both sides shouted loudly: "Be quiet for a moment!"
Liu Qingyi had already learned from others that the man with the beard in the middle was Lei Zhen, the master of the Heavenly Beast Sect, and the man with the tall crown on the left was Elder Feng Yanfeng.
At this sect competition, the sect leader and two elders were present, which shows that the sect attaches great importance to this event.
Not long after, I heard the deacon say: "In this sect competition, all the disciples participating in the challenge must be called to the end. When the victory or defeat has been determined, no one can deliberately hurt others. Violators will be severely punished. Please be timely and deacon Provide early warning and prevent injuries as much as possible.”
"According to the instructions of the sect leader, the top thirty people in this competition will receive a green spirit ring, a hundred spirit essence stones, a spiritual elixir, and four hundred meritorious deeds. The top ten people will receive a green spirit ring. One ring, two hundred spiritual essence stones, two spiritual elixirs, and five hundred meritorious deeds. The first three will receive one green spiritual ring, spiritual essence stones, three spiritual elixirs, and eight hundred meritorious deeds."
"The items given in this competition are not allowed to be resold. They can be exchanged for some merits on the spot. Candidates who have signed up to participate in the Dharma Fighting Competition in the Songjingtang can now start to compete on the stage."
After the deacon disciple finished his announcement, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd around him, "It's actually a spiritual elixir? It's a priceless elixir in the spiritual refinement stage."
"And the Spiritual Essence Stone."
"There are a lot of meritorious deeds, especially the top three, with as many as 800."
... ...
While there were various opinions among the crowd, several figures had already jumped onto the thirty stone platforms.
Liu Qingyi was standing in front of the Qingshiyuan, following the flow of people rushing back, but he could clearly see the figures on the first ten stone platforms one by one.
I saw a tall young man with a Chinese character face standing on the No. 1 stone platform. Behind him stood a green-scaled demon tiger.
On the second stone platform was a handsome and elegant man, with a fire-colored fox standing behind him. His whole body was blood red and looked extremely strange. This man has a face like a crown jewel and a tall figure. He is a beautiful man with a beautiful tree facing the wind. When he came on stage, many female disciples in the audience cheered one after another. It can be seen that the man on the second stone platform seemed to be very popular among the female disciples in the sect.
On the third stone platform was a man with a sinister face, but he did not summon the fairy beast, he just stood there blankly.
On the fourth stone platform is a burly man with a diamond-shaped headdress on his forehead and a large black eagle standing behind him. When Liu Qingyi looked at the big eagle, he felt it was very familiar. He suddenly remembered that He Yuanji, whom he met at the mountain gate when entering, seemed to be riding such a big eagle back, but He Yuanji's black giant eagle was even taller. Strong.
On the fifth stone platform was a man with an honest face, and behind him stood a lizard covered with silver markings.
The sixth stone platform is none other than Senior Sister Fang Rongfang from Wanghai County. The fairy beast behind her looks very handsome. At Liu Qingyi's first glance, it looks like the unicorn in the New Year paintings, with the head of a lion and the body of an ox. Extremely tall, he looked imposing against the blue scales.
The seventh stone platform is also an old acquaintance, Senior Brother Wang. At this moment, he has not summoned the fairy beast. He only tilts his head to look at the square stone platform No. 6 Fang Rong from time to time, looking absent-minded.
On the eighth stone platform is a short and fat young man, with a macaque standing behind him. The monkey's eyes are pink, like two blooming peach blossoms looking left and right, looking extremely agile.
On the ninth stone platform was a skinny man with a three-eyed demon wolf by his side. This demon wolf was much larger than the demon wolf in the Heavenly Beast Mountain.
The tenth stone platform was also occupied by an old acquaintance, Wu Wanyu. Standing beside her was her fiery rhinoceros, which was blowing out streams of fiery red smoke from its mouth and nose.
Liu Qingyi looked back again and saw Chen Tie standing on the eleventh stone platform with his head raised.
Looking at the following ones one by one, most of them were Tsing Yi disciples who had not summoned the immortal beasts. The disciple surnamed Yun was guarding the sixteenth stone platform.
Among the people in the audience at this time, apart from the many old disciples in Tsing Yi who signed up to attack and watch the battle, there were also many new disciples who were mixed in the crowd to watch the fun.
Liu Qingyi glanced at him and found Zuo Shu standing there, bulging his eyes like a gazelle and looking at him with passion.
When she saw Liu Qingyi's figure, her ponytail swayed and she squeezed over. She said with a serious face: "Brother, how are you preparing recently? I came here specially to cheer for you. Don't fall. My majesty.”
Liu Qingyi curled her lips, ignoring the little girl's nonsense, and looked back and forth between the many stone platforms.
I saw that the first ten stone platforms were still relatively calm, but people on the last twenty stone platforms were already on the stage to attack. In the fierce battles, there were light and shadow formations from spiritual rings and small fairy magic from time to time, flying back and forth on the stone platforms. , a series of sonorous sounds were heard, and several scenes were really lively.
