Chapter 457: Immortal Dynasty Demon Subduing Division
Ji Qingxuan and others who had just awakened from sword enlightenment gathered around Li Tiemu, and some of them still had a thoughtful and aftertaste in their eyes.
Ji Qingxuan, the eldest senior brother, had his eyes turned inward at this time. He asked, "It's still early before the South Territory Battle. Are we going to confirm the quota so soon?"
"This climb up Emperor Sword Mountain is a screening. We have ten places in Jianyuan, and eight people who meet the soul life requirements will be selected this time. The remaining two have been selected outside during the time you comprehended the Emperor Sword."
Li Tiemu said.
Hearing this, Murong Qingwu and Yue Xi looked at Li Tiemu curiously.
Even though Murong Qingwu had been practicing for hundreds of years, this was her first time participating in the Southern Territory Battle and she didn't know many things.
"Can't the eldest brother participate?"
Yuexi turned to look at Ji Qingxuan, and then looked at Senior Sister Wei Hongye, who was taking good care of her.
Wei Hongye smiled at her and shook her head without saying anything.
Li Tiemu sighed in his heart. He also wanted his evil eldest disciple to be able to join the war, but Ji Qingxuan's soul lifespan had already exceeded three thousand years, so he was born at the wrong time.
"Qingxuan and the others have more important things to do. This time, we have to rely on you."
Li Tiemu's eyes were more solemn. He swept his gaze from Murong Qingwu, Yuexi and Gu Yan, and said, "There are ten places for Jianyuan this time, and four of them are from my sect. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. My Dameng Jiuyuan is one of the four Tian Sects. Whether it can be promoted to Tianyi Sect this time depends on your performance!"
He knew that this would put pressure on them, but he felt that Tianjiao was not afraid of pressure. On the contrary, they would grow faster under pressure.
"Four..."
When Murong Qingwu heard his words, she noticed that her seventh junior brother had disappeared.
She looked around but didn't see him. She couldn't help wondering, "Master, where is the seventh one? His name is... Hao what?"
She had just returned from a sword lecture in the Immortal Dynasty and was unfamiliar with the three new brothers and sisters. Especially since her attention had previously been on Gu Yan, she had only a superficial impression of Li Hao.
However, Li Hao's last-minute climb up the mountain made her remember the young man in her heart.
When Li Tiemu heard her words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. They say people of the same clan should love each other, but she didn't even remember her name, so what's the point of loving each other!
"He went down the mountain."
Li Tiemu said unhappily.
"Are you leaving in such a hurry?" Murong Qingwu was surprised.
Yue Xi also reacted at this time, and was stunned for a moment, thinking of the figure she saw after she fell into a coma half a year ago. At that time, the giant sword-marked monument appeared, and she didn't have time to think too much. At this moment, her eyes suddenly widened and she couldn't help asking:
“He climbed up the mountain too?”
"Um."
Wei Hongye responded to her and whispered, "After you."
Yue Xi stayed where she was. It turned out that it was not an illusion. It was just... how did he go up the mountain? She clearly remembered that the other party's cultivation level was lower than hers. When he first became a disciple, he was only at the first level of the True Immortal Realm.
I left my name on the Emperor Sword Cliff, and I used the blood power of the Disaster Clan to barely climb up, but he...
Her face looked a little pale.
"When did he leave?"
At this time, Gu Yan suddenly asked.
When Yue Xi and Murong Qingwu heard the silent junior brother speak, they both looked towards him.
The boy's eyes did not wander, but stared at Li Tiemu.
Li Tiemu thought of Li Hao's behavior and shook his head helplessly, saying, "He went down half a year ago."
"Half a year ago?"
Upon hearing this, both Ji Qingxuan and Lu Wuchen were surprised.
“Why…?”
Wei Hongye couldn't help but ask, looking at Li Tiemu with some confusion.
Li Tiemu saw their expressions and understood their feelings. He said helplessly, "How would I know why? The boy said he came to take a look and then went down the mountain. But he didn't go far. He is still at the foot of the mountain now."
He noticed it when Li Hao entered the first level of the gap in Emperor Sword Mountain again, but when Yun Wumian shook his head, he did not come out to disturb him.
Hearing this, several people looked at each other.
They were enlightened at the top of the mountain, while the other was enlightened at the foot of the mountain? Gu Yan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly moved and said to Li Tiemu: "Master, I'll go to the bottom of the mountain to take a look."
After saying this, he flew out without waiting for Li Tiemu to answer.
When Yuexi saw his back, she immediately felt that this junior brother seemed to attach great importance to the young man who became her apprentice.
Although they had met only a few times in the past two years, this was the first time she had seen such a situation with this junior brother. She could feel that in the other's heart, she was not regarded as an opponent.
She gritted her teeth slightly and flew out as well.
Seeing that they had all left, Murong Qingwu followed them with great interest.
Li Tiemu opened his mouth slightly, and seeing that they all ran away, he felt so embarrassed as a master, and couldn't help but say something rude: "No manners!"
Wei Hongye couldn't help but laugh when she saw his angry look. Knowing that this master had accepted such evil disciples, she was so happy that she couldn't wait to say, "Master, my junior brothers are going to the southern region to fight, so where should we go?"
Upon hearing this, Li Tiemu turned to look at them, his expression showing solemnity and seriousness, and said: "What you are about to do is even more dangerous, and it also concerns the sect's dispute!"
"Um?"
Wei Hongye's eyes moved slightly.
However, Lu Wuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sharp gleam in his eyes.
Ji Qingxuan already knew about this, but his expression did not change.
"You go to the border of Yan and Chu, join the Demon Subduing Division, cooperate with the border soldiers to kill the ancient demons, and accumulate immortal merits!"
"Join the Demon Subduing Division?"
Wei Hongye and Lu Wuchen couldn't help but look at Ji Qingxuan. Isn't this the path that the senior brother took before? "Yes, Qingxuan was summoned before for another reason."
At this time, Li Tiemu felt that there were some things he should tell them, and he said in a deep voice: "This time the sect is reshuffled. In addition to the disciples of each sect competing in the southern region to show the potential of the sect, there is another point, which is to look at the sect's foundation! What is foundation? All the Tianzong have immortal kings, but the immortal kings will not easily come down to compete. Once they are injured or seriously injured, the news will leak out, and there will be a catastrophe!"
"Therefore, the foundation of this sect is reflected on the battlefield."
"Moreover, the Yanchu royal family has made an intentional arrangement to set up an Immortal Skill Ranking at the border. Disciples from various sects will compete for Immortal Skills, and will eventually be ranked based on Immortal Skills and the ranking of disciples competing in the Southern Territory. These two points will be used for comprehensive evaluation!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wei Hongye and Lu Wuchen and said, "That is to say, during the period when they are preparing for the battle in the Southern Region, other disciples with outstanding combat power in the sect will be arranged to fight in the border battlefield. However, in order to prevent some sects from using unscrupulous means to gain military merits, recruiting disciples indiscriminately, and winning by quantity, each sect will only take the top 100 disciples with the highest Immortal Power!"
"So, the task on your shoulders is very heavy, no easier than Haotian and the others!"
After hearing Li Tiemu's words, Wei Hongye and Lu Wuchen finally understood and their eyes became serious.
Fighting on the border is definitely more dangerous than the battle in the Southern Region. After all, the battle in the Southern Region is taking place under the eyes of many sects and even the Supreme Being of Heavenly Palace, so the possibility of casualties is not high.
"I asked Qingxuan to respond to the call earlier, and also asked him to gain some experience in border battles. I will let Qingxuan tell you later."
Li Tiemu said: "Although this time is dangerous, the 100 people selected by the sect will be given elixirs and immortal weapons to help you fight with all your strength."
Wei Hongye and Lu Wuchen looked at each other and nodded.
"For the sect, disciples are willing to go through fire and water!"
Wei Hongye said this with quite a heroic aura of a woman.
Lu Wuchen didn't say anything, but his eyes were sharp.
Li Tiemu was very pleased to see their determined eyes. He looked around and said, "There is actually another reason why I want you to join the Demon Subduing Division for this border battle."
"Um?"
Lu Wuchen and Wei Hongye were both stunned, but their expressions quickly returned to normal. They were just wondering what was so worthy of such caution that they had to transmit the message via telepathy.
"The death of the former Marshal of the Demon Subduing Division of the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty has caused many factions within the Demon Subduing Division to shake up. Now is the best time to join the Demon Subduing Division."
Li Tiemu looked calm, but his voice was extremely low and serious: "If you build up your immortal skills and perform well at this time, it will be easy to get a position in the Demon Subduing Division. You know the power and status of the Demon Subduing Division in the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty. Even the royal family dares to kill them!"
"If you can obtain an official position in the Demon Subduing Division, your sect will become the Tianyi Sect in the future, and you will have more connections and power, and will not be counterattacked or constrained."
After hearing his words, Lu Wuchen and Wei Hongye immediately understood.
It turns out that this move is buried in the future.
The Yanchu Immortal Dynasty is an ancient immortal dynasty that existed in the era of the Emperor when the Immortal Emperor once ruled. It has a vast territory and profound heritage.
Although the seven ancient immortal dynasties are located below the Heavenly Palace, they have been able to live in harmony with the Heavenly Palace for many years, which shows their abilities.
For them, if they could obtain an official position in the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, especially in the Demon Subduing Division, their status and position would even exceed that of the Tianzong disciples.
After all, Dameng Jiuyuan was only one of the four great sects in the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, while the Demon Subduing Division was established with the support of the Immortal Dynasty, and its authority was far greater than that of the Heavenly Sect.
As they talked, at the foot of the mountain.
In the first cliff valley, Li Hao was playing chess with an old man from the spirit tribe.
He frowned and stared at the chessboard, looking for a way to break the deadlock.
The old man from the Spirit Clan looked at Li Hao with a smile and did not urge him. Over the past six months, Li Hao had made significant progress, but fortunately, he was still able to suppress the young man with his profound chess skills.
"Um."
Beside her, A Ling suddenly turned her head and looked into the void.
There was a vibration of space coming from there, which was much faster than the speed of breath transmission. For her who had mastered the second level of the origin of space, she could detect the enemy situation in advance.
"Someone is coming, two...three."
Ah Ling stared at him, then calculated the time and said, "They should be Jian Yuan disciples. Emperor Sword Mountain should be over soon. Why are you still here?"
"I guess he's here to find him."
The middle-aged elf man next to him said with a smile on his face.
At this time, three figures quickly appeared above the cliff valley, led by Gu Yan.
He was stunned when he saw the scene in front of the cliff valley.
Yuexi, who was following closely behind him, also stopped. She was stunned when she saw the scene here, her beautiful eyes widened slightly.
In the past six months, the other party has been playing chess with the spirit race in the first level of Emperor Sword Mountain?
After a brief silence, Yuexi flew down and landed, but did not get too close. After all, the three people in front of her were elves, and they gave her a feeling that they were different from other elves.
She asked Li Hao, "I heard from Master that you left the mountain early. Have you been playing chess here?"
Li Hao came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked up, and saw that it was the three of them. He smiled and greeted them, saying, "Why are you here?"
"Come and see you."
Murong Qingwu's figure flashed and appeared beside Li Hao. She glanced at the chessboard, then found that she couldn't understand it. She was too lazy to look at it again and asked:
"I heard earlier that you stayed in the first level of Emperor Sword Mountain for a long time and came up only a short time ago. Could it be that you have been here the whole time?"
"yes."
Li Hao replied.
Seeing Li Hao's answer so easily, Murong Qingwu was speechless: "Don't tell me that you have been playing chess here for the past two years?"
"yes."
Li Hao said.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Murong Qingwu was speechless, and then asked: "Then you didn't practice in the two years before you came here?"
Li Hao was speechless and asked, "Why are you here?"
"The comprehension of the Emperor Sword is over, and we are here to take you back." Yuexi also landed at this moment, but she looked at Li Hao with complicated eyes.
Li Hao was stunned. Half a year had passed? "With such strength, why didn't you leave your name on Emperor Sword Cliff?"
Yuexi held it in for a while, but couldn't help but ask the question in her mind.
“…”
Li Hao was speechless. This girl was obsessed with Emperor Sword Cliff... He remembered that he had answered her several times. He smiled bitterly and said:
"I told you, I'm not interested."
Yuexi pursed her lips. Previously, she thought that Li Hao could not leave a name and did not want to embarrass herself, but now, she believed that the other party was really not interested.
But, what an honor it is! Gu Yan's expression changed slightly when he heard Li Hao's words, and his eyes became more profound.
"I want to spar with you."
Gu Yan suddenly said.
Li Hao looked at him in surprise, then quickly shook his head: "I'm not interested. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first. I'll leave after I finish this game of chess."
With a clang, a sword intent suddenly emerged, and Gu Yan suddenly swung out a sword light with his bare hands, attacking Li Hao directly.
Before Li Hao could respond, the old man from the Spirit Clan sitting opposite him suddenly snapped his fingers and shattered the sword intent.
The old man of the Spirit Clan tilted his indifferent eyes slightly and glanced at Gu Yan. He could see that this little guy was extremely talented, but it had nothing to do with him:
"Little guy, why don't you have any rules at all? Didn't your master teach you?"
The old man of the spirit tribe said coldly: "Now that the test is over, you should leave. Otherwise, if you disturb my interest, don't blame me for being rude."
Yue Xi, Gu Yan and the other two's expressions changed and they suddenly stared at the old man from the Spirit Clan.
What a powerful spirit race... They could sense that the other party had the aura of the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm. However, the power that shattered the sword intent with a wave of his hand just now was definitely not something that the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm could grasp. It contained an extremely terrifying origin of the Great Dao!
"Let's go."
The middle-aged Eldar man next to him crossed his arms and said indifferently: "We let you little guys pass the first level easily before. Do you really think that there are no Eldar people?"
As he spoke, a strange force field emanated from his body.
Li Hao, who was sitting on the stone, immediately felt that this was the origin of earth, and it was much higher than his second level of earth realm.
Feeling the power of the middle-aged elf man, the faces of the three men changed again, and they immediately realized that these three elves were much more terrifying than the other elves they had defeated before.
Moreover, they now recalled that these three faces were not among the elves they had defeated in the first level.
"I counted before. The most Eldar I defeated was 97..."
Gu Yan's eyes changed. In order to seek some kind of fairness, in the subsequent challenges, he tried his best to make sure that he was the only one challenging each level.
Even if there are other disciples, he will rush over and defeat the monsters fighting with other disciples.
“If my master and the others take action, except for the guys who first arrived at Emperor Sword Mountain, it will be basically impossible for the rest of you to pass, unless you all have combat power that exceeds Zulong…”
Beside her, A Ling said coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the pupils of Gu Yan and the other two shrank slightly.
Does this old spirit man sitting in front of the chessboard have power that surpasses that of the seventh-level Ancestral Dragon?
The three of them were shocked and confused, but they also had a vague feeling that the spirit girl was not lying.
Murong Qingwu's eyes flashed and her gaze fell on Li Hao. She immediately felt that this junior brother was somewhat magical. Such a powerful spirit was actually willing to sit at the same table with him.
"In that case, Seventh Junior Brother, we will leave first. You should come back soon. Master is urging us."
Murong Qingwu said with a smile, looking very lively.
After saying this, he turned around and flew away, not daring to stay here for long.
Gu Yan's expression changed. Seeing that Li Hao's eyes fell on the chessboard again, he seemed to have no interest in playing against him. Disappointment appeared in his eyes, and he turned away. Before leaving, he said, "I will ask my senior brother for advice again when the Southern Region Contest comes."
Li Hao raised his head and glanced at the other person's receding back, feeling somewhat helpless: "This little junior brother still remembers to call me senior brother."
Yuexi looked at Li Hao with complicated eyes, then turned around and left silently.
"This little junior brother doesn't know the rules. Please don't disturb the senior's fun. Let's continue." Li Hao said to the old man of the Spirit Clan.
The old man from the Spirit Clan naturally wasn't angry. He smiled again and said, "This round, let's see how you can win."
"I have my own way..."
Li Hao pretended to be confident.
Half an hour later.
He gave up the game with a look of dejection. He had been playing chess here for two and a half years, but he had only won a handful of games against his opponent. His chess skills were still far behind his opponent.
"I'm leaving now, and we'll meet again."
Li Hao stood up and said goodbye.
The three of them smiled and waved to Li Hao.
After watching Li Hao leave, the old man of the Spirit Clan also put away the chessboard and sighed, "The Emperor Sword Mountain is over. I wonder how the Abyss Master will deal with us."
Hearing this, a trace of worry appeared on the faces of the middle-aged elf and A Ling.
…
After Li Hao left the first level of Emperor Sword Mountain, he flew straight to the top of the mountain, and then he saw many disciples gathered there.
He glanced around and saw Gu Yan, Yue Xi and Murong Qingwu who had returned earlier, and they also noticed him.
Li Hao's gaze did not linger, but swept towards the thatched cottage, and soon saw the figure of the Abyss Master Yun Wumian.
Li Hao flew over and bowed, saying, "Junior greets Master Yuan."
Yun Wumian had been observing Li Hao's behavior for the past six months, and was surprised to see that Li Hao was completely immersed in playing chess and had no intention of practicing at all. He even secretly played a few games of chess while watching, wanting to see why the chessboard was so attractive.
However, he never liked this kind of thing. After watching a few discs, he found it boring and stopped watching any more.
"How was it, did you gain anything from this trip down the mountain?"
Yun Wumian asked with a gentle expression and a slight smile.
Li Hao thought about how he had lost all the games in the past six months and only won two games, which was by luck. He couldn't help scratching his head awkwardly: "Not bad."
I lost...
Yun Wumian smiled in his heart and said, "Are you coming to me to plead for the spirit race?"
Li Hao was surprised and said: "Master Yuan is very wise."
Seeing such crude flattery, Yun Wumian couldn't help but want to roll his eyes at him, and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Except for the monsters and ancient demons, I won't execute the spirits."
Li Hao felt relieved after hearing this and bowed to the bottom: "Thank you, Lord Yuan, for your mercy!"
"Go ahead."
Yun Wumian waved his hand.
Li Hao bowed and took his leave.
When they returned to Li Tiemu, Li Tiemu told Li Hao about the gathering, and then asked unwillingly: "How was your stay down there for the past six months? Do you regret it?"
Li Hao was stunned and said with a smile: "No."
Li Tiemu was speechless. He snorted and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to meet the other disciples of Bayuan."
Then, under the leadership of the three elders Li Tiemu, Zhou Qingyun and the old woman, as well as other elders, they led their disciples and left Emperor Sword Mountain.
After arriving at Jianyuan outside, they stayed for a while and then took Li Hao and others to Daming Mountain, the main peak of Daming Jiuyuan.
The leader of Dameng Jiuyuan, named Dream Master, is always on the main peak.
Not long after, Li Tiemu and others led many disciples to Daming Mountain.
The Dameng Mountain is vast and majestic, with many disciples. It is much more imposing than Jianyuan.
As soon as Li Hao and others landed here, they saw a group of figures rushing towards them from a distance.
"It's a disciple of Qiang Yuan."
Li Tiemu took a look and said.
There were more disciples from the Gun Yuan group than from the Sword Yuan group. After landing on the square, they walked towards Li Tiemu and the others.
Li Hao glanced around and saw Lin Yufeng in the crowd.
Lin Yufeng also saw Li Hao, with no surprise in his eyes. While the elders of both sides were greeting each other, he squeezed out of the crowd, walked over, and bowed to Li Hao.
