Chapter 57 Immortal Cultivation 2
The First Level.
The mountains stretching for thousands of miles are always shrouded in clouds and mist, and the peaks seem to be covered with a thin veil.
The Yunyan Sect, which is famous for its ancient swordsmanship, the Lingxi Sect, which relies on its strange secret techniques to gain a foothold in the world, and the Qinglian Sect, which is good at making alchemy instruments, are the three most powerful forces. They unite with other sects to maintain the balance of the first level.
The Yunyan Sect is hidden in the layers of clouds and mist, and is located between the peaks.
"Senior Brother - Senior Brother, where are you?"
The young boy with a high ponytail put his hand to his mouth, climbed the mountain with a grunt, and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Come out quickly! The Immortal Competition is about to begin!"
On the highest mountain in Yunyan, the temperature was even lower than usual, with snow all year round and the air permeating with cold.
Dongfang Xianyun shook himself, rubbed his hands and continued to shout:
"Brother, stop practicing swordsmanship! Master said that this time, Senior Brother Lu Xiangwan from Lingxi Sect will also..."
...participate.
Looking at Lu Yihan who appeared in front of him with a "swish", Dongfang Xianyun silently took back the last two words.
The next second after he said the name Lu Xiangwan, Senior Brother Lu Yihan from their Yunyan Sect finally appeared with a sword in hand.
She was wearing a simple, slim-fitting white dress that was three times whiter than snow. Her black hair was tied up high with a headband of the same color. She had an upright posture, and her deep, dark black eyes contained no emotion, revealing a lingering sense of coldness and alienation.
He casually made a sword flower and put the long sword into the scabbard. The young man with eyebrows and eyes as calm as the distant peaks spoke softly:
"Will Lu Xiangwan participate?"
"Yes!"
Dongfang Xianyun nodded heavily, and remembered what his master said, and hurriedly added:
"Master said that you have escaped so many immortal competitions, and you must participate this time."
"And he said that we must give Lingxi Sect's old guy Gu Guangbai a little color to see."
"His disciples Kong Qingyang defeated Gu Guangbai's disciples, which means that Yunyan Sect won Lingxi Sect, and this also gave him face."
Since Dongfang Xianyun became a disciple of Yunyan Sect, what he heard most was not the opposition between immortals and demons, and the crusade against demons, but the various "love and hate" between Yunyan Sect and Lingxi Sect.
The two major sects have disliked each other since their establishment.
Yun Yan thought that the people of Lingxi were just some clever people who were good at fancy tricks, while Lingxi laughed at Yun Yan as a group of stupid people with a single-minded mind.
After all, a thousand years ago, because of the war between immortals and demons, the two factions shook hands and cooperated even though they were unhappy with each other.
By the time of Kong Qingyang and Gu Guangbai, the demon world had been suppressed to the third level, leaving only some remnants of shrimp soldiers and crab generals and the minions who had escaped the seal.
Without the threat of a common enemy, the two sects began to fight openly and secretly.
From the spirit beasts in the back mountain, to the decoration of the sect, to the talent and strength of the chief disciple, all aspects must be compared.
As for the Qinglian Sect, which has a relatively low military power, it has always been a spectator and not a team, and has been concentrating on research.
This immortal competition is held by the three major sects in turn every five years.
Only young talents below the Yuanying stage are allowed to participate, and the prize for the champion is set by the presiding sect.
This time, the immortal competition happened to be held by the Yunyan Sect.
Lu Yihan was accepted as a disciple since he was a child. He sought the truth and devoted himself to the practice of swordsmanship. He always avoided all other matters.
Since he was a child, except for a few elders such as his master and uncle, Lu Yihan lived alone in Jiwan Peak most of the time and rarely contacted other people. Naturally, he developed an indifferent attitude towards the outside world. He
entered the foundation-building stage at the age of ten, became famous for splitting Wangyue Mountain with a sword at the age of fifteen, and entered the golden elixir stage at the age of twenty, standing out among the proud sons of heaven.
The two things that can arouse his interest are, first, a master who teaches swordsmanship, and second, an opponent who can fight with him.
Lu Xiangwan is the second one.
"Lead the way."
Lu Yihan turned to Dongfang Xianyun, nodded politely and spoke lightly.
"Oh, okay."
Dongfang Xianyun secretly observed this long-renowned senior brother and was stunned for a long time.
The senior brother was as cold as the rumors said.
Dongfang Xianyun sighed secretly.
"Senior Sister Ye said that you must be practicing swordsmanship here, so she asked me to come here to find you, senior brother."
"And Senior Sister asked me to tell..."
"Eh——"
Dongfang Xianyun had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and he didn't notice the gravel road under his feet. He was not careful and his body was unstable, and he was about to fall.
"Watch the road."
Lu Yihan held the scabbard with one hand, just against Dongfang Xianyun's lower back, stabilizing his body leaning backwards.
"Ah... Thank you, senior brother."
Well, Dongfang Xianyun decided to take back his previous thoughts.
It seems that the eldest senior brother is not as difficult to approach as imagined?

"The next game, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect vs. the Hundred Flowers Palace--"
The presiding elder of the Yun Yan Sect transmitted the voice with spiritual power, and the voice was clearly heard by everyone.
"Liu Liang of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect."
"Hua Zelan of the Hundred Flowers Palace."
The two sides bowed to each other and introduced themselves before the game.
Hua Zelan, who was dressed in a plain green dress, took the lead in pulling out the long whip on her waist, and the attack came with the sound of breaking through the air.
Liu Liang was not frightened by the whip that was aimed at his face. His face was slightly gloomy. He squatted slightly, held his breath and concentrated, and summoned the tamed spirit tiger in his sea of consciousness.
"Roar——"
The majestic tiger roar shocked people's hearts, and waves of spiritual power surged around it.
"Tiger? Then let me be this Wu Song!"
Hua Zelan was not afraid, but her fighting power increased. The whip in her hand was dancing vigorously, twisting like a snake, with both strength and speed.
"Young talent..."
"The Lanling Whip is soft but strong, and it neutralizes the yin and yang. It's wonderful, wonderful."
The leader of the Wanshou Sect praised Hua Zejin, the leader of the Baihua Palace, beside him.
"That's right, after all, Lan'er is my personal disciple who I trained."
Hua Zejin looked at his own disciple and felt proud of him.
"Master Li, your Wanshou Sect is really well hidden. He has tamed Jianxiaohu at such a young age. His future is limitless."
"Hahaha, Master Hua Ze is too flattering."
Li Xu stroked his long beard with one hand and laughed loudly.
The two fought fiercely on the spirit platform, and the leaders and elders of various sects on the high platform nodded frequently.
"This class is really full of talented people..."
"Yes, the younger generation pushes the older generation forward, and it seems that we old guys will eventually fall behind."
"Master Gu, I heard that you are finally going to send your precious apprentice this time?"
Gu Guangbai, who sat on a high seat, was wearing a purple robe with dark gold patterns, and he had a great temperament.
Although he looked only about 30 years old, his body had already reached the level of returning to its original state after entering the fusion period.
"What are you talking about? It's not that I can't bear to let that brat go, it's that he is very wild. This time he has changed his nature and is willing to participate."
As the leader of a sect, Gu Guangbai did not participate in the Immortal Dao Competition every time. He usually sent the elders of the sect to lead the team to participate.
However, since the old man Kong Qingyang has said that he will send his eldest disciple to participate this time, Gu Guangbai will definitely not be left behind.
The two have been fighting since they were young, and they have always been evenly matched.
Now that they are older, they have almost finished fighting in other aspects, and they are fighting over their own disciples again.
