Chapter 53: Sects Gathering

In the early morning, the sky was filled with mist and many disciples from the inner and outer gates had gathered in the square of the inner gate hall.

Ning Daoran and the big stupid deer came side by side, very low-key, standing in the corner.

"Junior Brother Ning!"

Not far away, someone greeted me. It was Lin Zhuojun.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Lin Zhuojun!"

Ning Daoran nodded and smiled: "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time indeed."

Lin Zhuojun smiled and said, "Why, Junior Brother Ning is also coming to participate in the Cangnan Secret Realm?"

"Yes, the sect named me."

"I see……"

Lin Zhuojun didn't say anything else. Instead, a group of fellow Qi Refining Level 9 brothers who had a good relationship with Lin Zhuojun gave him strange looks and discussed the matter in a low voice.

"How come even the seventh level of Qi Refining was sent to the Cangnan Secret Realm? Is this a mistake?"

"Humph, this Ning Daoran is said to be a second-level spiritual farmer, but isn't it courting death for him to enter the Cangnan Secret Realm at the seventh level of Qi Refining? Not to mention the demonic path, even the cultivators of the righteous path might give him a ride."

…

Ning Daoran had extraordinary awareness and hearing, so he heard it all clearly, but the corner of his mouth twitched as he pretended not to hear anything.

Not long after, Lin Sheng and Liu Ruyan also arrived.

Liu Ruyan was wearing a moon-white long dress for female inner disciples. She looked like a fairy walking out of a painting. She was so beautiful that many male disciples looked at her.

In the end, the burning gazes naturally focused on Lin Sheng who was standing aside.

How could a mere outer sect disciple of the ninth level of Qi Refining, a waste of the eighth-grade spiritual root, be qualified to be with Fairy Liu? For a moment, many disciples' eyes were full of jealousy.

"Um?"

Lin Sheng frowned and glanced at the group of disciples with a hostile look.

Although he is an eighth-grade five-spiritual root, his strength at the ninth level of Qi Refining is not fake, and in terms of actual combat ability, Lin Sheng is the best among the inner disciples.

He had carried out many life-threatening missions before. If he really had to fight, few of the Chaos Sect disciples who entered the Cangnan Secret Realm this time would be Lin Sheng's match.

"All disciples, be quiet!"

An outer sect elder flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "My Chaos Sect has stood in Qingzhou for thousands of years. My Chaos Sect disciples have always been competing for the first place. During this trip to the Cangnan Secret Realm, we must not humiliate the reputation of our sect!"

"Yes, Elder!"

The disciples were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The foundation-building elder continued, "If you meet fellow disciples when you enter the secret realm this time, you must unite as much as possible and work together to obtain opportunities! In addition, for this trip to the secret realm, the sect will only collect the three main ingredients of the foundation-building pill, and the rest of the opportunities belong to you. The ten disciples who obtain the most main ingredients of the foundation-building pill will be eligible to obtain the foundation-building pill!"

The disciples' blood boiled.

Ning Daoran remained silent, thinking that his fellow disciples were too optimistic.

“Chirp~~~Chirp~~~”

Suddenly, a long whistle that resounded through the sky resounded in the air.

When all the disciples looked up, they found a roc with purple feathers flapping its wings and circling in the air, and a figure was floating down from the roc's back.

Jiang Yu, the leader of Chaos Sect has arrived.

"Meet the Sect Master!"

Everyone bowed respectfully.

It is said that Jiang Yu was a disciple of the late fourth elder, but he was too competitive and achieved golden elixir at an early age, so he became the sect leader.

If there had not been this golden elixir that suddenly appeared, the Chaos Sect would have been without golden elixir after the disappearance of the previous sect leader, and would have directly fallen from a second-rate sect to a third-rate or even a third-rate sect.

If this is true, I am afraid that a large number of forces will begin to covet this third-level middle-grade spiritual vein of the Chaos Sect! "Brothers and sisters, there is no need to be polite."

Jiang Yu's voice was so sweet and pleasant that it was impossible to associate it with a great Jindan monk.

"Please move aside, fellow apprentices. I am about to reveal my true form. You will fly directly onto the back of the Thunder Peng and I will take you to the secret realm."

"Yes, Master!"

Everyone dispersed and made way for the central area of ​​the square.

“Chirp~~~Chirp~~~”

The bird of prey in the sky screamed once more, and then swooped down. Its body grew larger and larger, and it fell with a terrifying wave of air. When its wings were spread, they were dozens of feet long!

Lei Peng, with cultivation level at the early third stage, is Jiang Yu’s spiritual beast.

The combat power of this Thunder Peng is equivalent to that of a Golden Core, and with the addition of Jiang Yu, the peak combat power of the Chaos Sect is two Golden Cores. This is also the biggest reason why many forces dare not covet the Chaos Sect.

Everyone flew onto Lei Peng's back. Ning Daoran raised his hand and carried the big stupid deer. After a few jumps, he also came to Lei Peng's back. The feathers under his feet were as hard as rocks, and he did not feel any discomfort from standing.

"Junior Brother Ning?"

Suddenly, Jiang Yu's eyes fell on Ning Daoran: "Why are you here too?"

"ah?"

Ning Daoran said truthfully: "My dear senior sister, I am also on the list..."

“Nonsense!”

Jiang Yu immediately turned around and asked a group of foundation building elders, "Ning Daoran is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he also possesses the second-level spiritual plant technique. How could he be on the list?"

"this……"

The group of elders were stunned.

Several of them had received benefits from Xu Ning when the list was drawn up, but now they dared not say a word.

"Junior Brother Ning, go back."

Jiang Yu said: "You are not suitable to participate in this secret realm."

"Sister, now that we are here..."

Ning Daoran said: "If I go back now, others will think I am a deserter, and I am afraid that my thoughts will not be clear, which will be harmful to my practice."

"All right."

Jiang Yu smiled faintly: "Then be careful about everything."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister."

All the disciples were shocked, no one thought that this kid actually had a relationship with the sect leader's eldest sister.

Ning Daoran brought the big stupid deer to an inconspicuous corner on Lei Peng's back, sat down and began to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The roc soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds, and in the blink of an eye it arrived in a clear blue sky.

All the disciples sat cross-legged in meditation.

Everyone's expression was a little unnatural. Participating in the Cangnan Secret Realm certainly had the potential to soar to the sky and gain great opportunities.

But no one can ignore the horrific death rate in Cangnan Secret Realm.

It is said that of the 200 people from the Chaos Sect who participated in the Cangnan Secret Realm 50 years ago, only 120 or so returned, with a mortality rate of 40%! As for the disciples of this generation, their cultivation is not even as good as that of 50 years ago, so the final result is naturally predictable.

At this moment, what many disciples were thinking in their hearts was very simple, that is, not to seek merit but to avoid mistakes.

If you encounter an opportunity in the secret realm, take it. If you don’t, forget it. Don’t even think about snatching it. Your own life is the most important.

Of course, some disciples with higher cultivation levels didn't think so, including Lin Shengnei. This group of disciples were destined to compete with others for opportunities when they entered the secret realm.

There are so few resources, it is impossible for everyone to return with a full load.

…

Lei Peng flew for a whole day and night, and finally landed in a lush and verdant forest. In the distance, a huge cloud shrouded the sky, and the fluctuations of forbidden magic power were extremely strong.

The secret land of Cangnan is right before your eyes.

Ning Daoran looked up, feeling the strong fluctuations of the secret realm's restrictions, and his heart couldn't help but shudder.

Soon, this secret realm will become the grave of many Qi Refining disciples, and this is by no means an exaggeration.

Lei Peng landed on an open space, and all the disciples of Chaos Sect landed one by one.

Not far away was the gathering place of disciples from another sect. That group of people were wearing dark blue uniforms, all of them were at the ninth level of Qi Refining or even at Perfect Qi Refining. Their number was also far greater than that of the Chaos Sect, with a total of 500 people.

The number of disciples entering the secret realm will fluctuate every time, and everything needs to be arranged according to strength.

"They are from the Fenhai Sect."

Lin Zhuojun looked over from afar, his eyes full of awe: "One of the only two first-class sects in Qingzhou, it is said that the Fenhai Sect has three Jindan ancestors in charge, and its strength is quite strong."

Suddenly, the pupils of all the disciples trembled. They didn't expect that those people were actually disciples of Fenhai Sect.

"Little girl Jiang Yu!"

Not far away, a golden light rose up and turned into a golden light. It was an old man leaning on a cane. He looked extremely old and might die of old age at any time, but his whole body was filled with extremely vigorous vitality.

Old Monster Tianhai is a great cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and the supreme elder of the Fenhai Sect.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Tian Hai."

“Okay, okay~~~”

Old Monster Tianhai swept his eyes across the group of disciples of the Chaos Sect. In an instant, his spiritual sense swept through, and the entire cultivation base of many disciples was seen through without them even realizing it.

…

At this moment, the clouds in the south began to waver, and suddenly a number of blood-red flying boats pierced through the clouds.

Those flying boats were extremely huge, with blood-red battle flags inserted on the sides of the boats, and even a huge monster skull embedded on the bow. They looked extremely evil and gave the Qi Refining monks a strong sense of oppression.

"The people from the Soul Devouring Cult are here."

A disciple of the Fenhai Sect frowned and said, "What a grand scene, hum..."

The Soul-Devouring Sect is also a first-rate sect with many powerful Jindan masters in charge. The difference is that the Soul-Devouring Sect is a demonic sect and will use any means necessary to fight for opportunities.

When righteous cultivators fight for opportunities, they have to make up some excuses to appear legitimate and high-sounding. However, there is no need for this for the evil cultivators. They can just grab them directly, which saves time.

In the air, a cloud of blood mist came crashing down and transformed into an old man in a blood-red robe.

The Soul-Eating Old Demon, the supreme elder of the Soul-Eating Sect, is in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He is a sinister person and has always had a bad reputation in the martial arts world.

"Old ghost Tianhai, you guys arrived so early!"

The Soul Devouring Demon glanced at the disciples of the Burning Sea Sect and said with a smile, "Tsk tsk, you even sent out several True Disciples. It seems that your Burning Sea Sect is determined to win this time. Do you want to take back a Spirit Stone Mine?"

The fight for the Cangnan Secret Realm is not only about foundation-building resources, but also about spirit stone mines.

There are three largest spirit stone mines in the entire Qingzhou. Among them, the sect that wins first place in the Cangnan Secret Realm can choose two first, the second place will get the remaining one, and the rest of the sects can only get some scraps.

Fifty years ago in the Cangnan Secret Realm, the Soul-Devouring Sect ranked first, so they now occupy two of the three major spirit stone mines. This is naturally also a fifty-year shame for the Fenhai Sect, which claims to be the number one sect in Qingzhou.

"snort!"

Tianhai Old Monster sneered: "Old Soul Eater, do you have the guts to take a gamble?"
