“They’re all here.”
Elder Qian walked out of a door, bent over, and glanced at the disciples below.
"Master Qian!"
Everyone shouted in unison to show respect.
"I called you here this time because I have something to tell you." Elder Qian nodded slightly, and then slowly said: "A Mingu Temple appeared in Mingu Mountain. It caused a lot of noise and attracted many people."
Zhou Qing's heart moved. He didn't expect to hear this name again.
The Guo Yi he met on the road after viewing the Mingu Divine Mountain from afar mentioned the Mingu Divine Temple.
Zhou Qing didn't know about this thing. Later he planned to ask Luo Liuli about it, but he forgot because he had too many things to do.
“Originally, there is no need for all of you to come here for a Dark Ancient Temple.” Elder Qian continued, “But this Dark Ancient Temple has been around for half a month and it still hasn’t disappeared. In addition, there are traces of Barbarian and Snow Tribe geniuses appearing in Dark Ancient Mountain. It seems that they came here specifically for the Dark Ancient Temple.”
"So the temple wanted to inform you and see if anyone of you is interested in going to the Underworld Ancient Temple and taking a look."
"If there are really any special things, try to bring them back to Xuandu Temple and don't let them fall into the hands of outsiders, especially the barbarians."
"I have heard about the emergence of the Underworld Ancient Temple." At this time, Qi Yunhai on the right side of the second row said, "I just didn't expect that after half a month, the temple has not disappeared and has not been explored thoroughly."
"The Hades Temple, which has existed for a long time, always contains a lot of secrets. I am interested in it. I will go there."
Qian Lao nodded, "Okay, is there anyone else who wants to go?"
Dugu asked aloud:
"The Snow Tribe and the Barbarian Tribe's geniuses have also shown up. Who are they?"
Qian Lao shook his head and said, "It's not the ones you think."
Dugu said nothing more, and it was obvious that he had no intention of making the trip in person.
Yan Kuangtu remained silent and did not express any opinion, and his meaning was obvious.
The first and second true disciples will not interfere in this matter.
Then a few more people expressed their willingness to go and take a look.
Except for some things that Xuandu Temple requires to be done by one person only, other things can be done by multiple people together unless there are special requirements.
If you bring back something very valuable from the temple, even if you don't hand it over to the sect, as long as the Snow Tribe barbarians don't get it, Xuandu Temple will reward you.
If you return empty-handed, then naturally you will have nothing.
Xuandu Temple provides true disciples with information on various opportunities, which in itself is a great help.
"We are almost there." Elder Qian made the final decision, and then said, "Let's talk about the second thing. The Baoguang Realm of Tianxiang Temple in Jingzhou is about to open. Tianxiang sent us an invitation. Xuandu Temple can send three true disciples to enter the Baoguang Realm."
"Which three of you want to go?"
Elder Qian suddenly glanced at Zhou Qing who was at the back, and then explained: "Let me emphasize that although the Treasure Light Realm has many opportunities and is rich in them, and contains various divine lights, those divine lights have specific uses, and it is useless for people who don't need the divine lights to go there."
Zhou Qing noticed Qian Lao's gaze and understood that this was an explanation to him. It was not only to tell him what the Baoguang Realm was, but also to tell him not to get involved in this matter because it was of no use to him.
However, Zhou Qing had no plans to go to Tianxiang Temple.
Jingzhou is right next to Hanzhou. He just came to Xuandu Temple and then went to Jingzhou. He must be bored.
The Tianxiang Temple is a relatively rare and powerful Buddhist sect in the Da Qi territory. It is a first-rate force and even has the potential to become the leader of the state.
However, even if there is a chance to become a first-rate force in Jingzhou, because it is too close to Xuandu Temple, it must take the initiative to make friends with Xuandu Temple, at least on the surface.
During the Western Qi and Eastern Zhou dynasties, the Buddhist tradition was not prominent and there were few powerful Buddhist temples.
Qi is a place where Taoism flourishes, and Xuandu Temple is its representative. Zhou is undoubtedly the territory of the Taoist saints, and Haoran Qi is the officially recognized orthodoxy.
There is little soil for Buddhism to survive and grow in these two places.
The real heyday of Buddhism and Taoism was in Southern Jin Dynasty.
Finally, three people, led by the Ninth True Disciple, obtained the opportunity to go to the Baoguang Realm of Tianxiang Temple.
The true teachings of a great sect are so comfortable. Such a precious opportunity would fall from the sky while you are sitting at home.
Envious.
Fortunately, I am now also a member of the Dazong true sect.
"The third thing is that Xie Dongliu, the demon of the ancient demon sect, Gu Jin, the true disciple of the world-saving sect, and Ni Lunguang, the true disciple of the True Saint Demon Sect, appeared at the border between Han and Man."
"Deal with them."
Qian Lao's tone was flat, but no one could doubt his determination.
"I'll go."
The fifth true disciple spoke. He was a muscular man with a body full of muscles. He looked very powerful.
Another person spoke up, "I'm with Senior Brother Wang."
Mr. Qian glanced at the two of them and finally nodded.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you two, Wang Mingyang and Muye."
Zhou Qing has been watching quietly, with a very low sense of presence. He is just a newbie now.
However, for these three matters, more than a dozen true disciples were dispatched. No wonder everyone had to be summoned to the True Disciple Palace to discuss the matter.
However, the way Xuandu Temple issued tasks to true disciples was a bit sloppy. It was just a verbal notification.
"One last thing."
Elder Qian looked at Zhou Qing again and said:
"The newly promoted True Disciple Zhou Qing, with his late Sun Tour cultivation, ranked first on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of Hanzhou, and the Tiger Ranking of Dao. He was also ranked first on the Qingzhou Dao Ranking more than a month ago. His performance is outstanding, and he will be rewarded later."
Zhou Qing was stunned. I just came here to see the world, how does this have anything to do with me?
First on the Hanzhou Dao Ranking, how come I didn’t know about this? First on the Qingzhou Dao Ranking, although Zhou Qing didn’t see the new Dao Ranking when he defeated Ji Xingqiu, he could understand why he was ranked first afterwards.
So when I heard about it now, I was not very surprised. This is a normal thing.
After Mr. Qian finished speaking, some people turned to look at Zhou Qing at the back with strange looks in their eyes.
In the later period of the daily tour, he was ranked first on the Dao Ranking, and also the first in both Han and Qing states. It was not easy.
No one jumped out to question anything. The Hanzhou Dragon and Tiger List was formulated by Xuandu Temple. Their identities were the true disciples of Xuandu. What kind of idiot would question it at this time...
What's wrong? You think there's something wrong with the sect, right? I think you have the problem.
Qian Lao called out, "Zhou Qing."
"The disciple is here."
"Practice well and strive to be ranked first on the Hanzhou Dao Ranking for many consecutive periods."
There is no hope for him to be number one on the Qingzhou Dao Ranking since Zhou Qing is no longer in Qingzhou. Even if no one from Qingzhou defeats him, his ranking will drop as Zhou Qing has not been seen for a long time.
Zhou Qing was troubled when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Master Qian, I'm afraid I can't keep the top spot on the Hanzhou Dao Ranking."
Some people sneered in their hearts. In front of so many people, he showed his cowardice and weakness directly. He had no firm determination at all. With such a mentality, even if he was talented, he would not go far.
Some people also think that Zhou Qing is quite self-aware and knows his own limitations.
Of course, more people are still indifferent or curious about Zhou Qing.
Mr. Qian smiled and continued:
"It's okay, just work hard on your own. You are quite capable, so there is still hope."
“Even if I fail, as long as I improve myself in the process, it will be worth it.”
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Qian." Zhou Qing said sincerely:
"But I will definitely not be the number one on the next Dao Ranking."
Some people frowned, wondering why this new true disciple was so cowardly?
Even if he wanted to be modest, it was too much, wasn't it? At this time, Zhou Qing continued to say: "I have now been promoted to the Manifestation Realm, and the Dao Ranking will no longer include me."
I also want to win again, but my realm does not allow it!
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, even the always indifferent Yan Kuangtu turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Qing.
Most people were speechless.
No, brother, what's wrong with you? "Haha."
Mr. Qian suddenly laughed, looking a little happy.
"What a great saint! What a great honor for not being included in the Dao List, you little fellow..."
Are you teasing the old man? Qian Lao smiled and said, "Then go and strive for the first place on the Dragon Ranking. I think you can do it."
Qi Yunhai spoke at this time, also with a smile on his face.
"The first on the Dragon Ranking is Senior Brother. Junior Brother Zhou needs to work hard if he wants to reach this position."
"Try to dethrone our eldest brother from the top of the Dragon Ranking!"
Someone else said, "By the time Junior Brother Zhou has cultivated enough to compete for the first place on the Dragon Ranking, Senior Brother will probably have already entered another level, so there will be no conflict."
"Hahaha, that's right. We are the ones who should be worried. With Junior Brother Zhou's cultivation speed, it won't be long before his realm catches up with ours. Then our lives will be difficult."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, fellow brothers."
But this is indeed the truth. Dugu is on the verge of a breakthrough. Whether it is the true teaching rank or the Hanzhou Dragon and Tiger List, he basically will not compete with Zhou Qing.
After these few words, the atmosphere at the scene became a little more lively. After everyone came to their senses, they were all surprised by the news that Zhou Qing had been promoted to a saint.
But he has been promoted to the Manifestation of Sainthood now? This is too fast.
Even though they were all Xuan Du disciples with extraordinary talents and abundant opportunities, they were still astonished and surprised by the speed of cultivation.
The attitudes of some true disciples who had originally been indifferent to Zhou Qingmo also quietly changed.
Putting aside other things, just based on the speed of his cultivation, this person is worthy of their attention.
As long as you practice fast enough, even if there are deficiencies in other aspects, they can be completely ignored.
This was the first time that Zhou Qing publicly entered the sight of other Xuan Du disciples, but it directly brought everyone a great Zhou Qing-style shock.
This kind of shock once appeared in Heiyun Town and Tianyue City, and now Zhou Qing brought it to the group of true disciples of Xuandu Temple.
For every true disciple present, if their previous understanding of Zhou Qing was only based on information on paper, they only knew that, oh, Xuandu Temple had a new true disciple, and I had a new junior brother, but they would forget it after a while.
Then the impression at this moment will be extremely deep and unforgettable.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
What a fast man! Jiang Mi whispered to Zhou Qing: "Junior Brother Zhou, you are amazing."
"It was just a fluke."
Zhou Qing remains humble and low-key.
Wang Zai looked at Zhou Qing with complicated eyes. He finally understood why Lu Qingmo, who had left Xuandu Temple, chose to pass on his peerless Taoist skills to such a person.
In terms of cultivation speed, he is far inferior to the genius who came out of this small town.
Zhou Qing was also observing the other true disciples. Seeing that their attitudes had changed to a certain extent, he smiled inwardly.
Sure enough, in a place where such peerless geniuses gather together, only by showing enough talent and strength, and only by shocking people, can one gain status and respect.
As a true disciple of Xuan Du, there is really no need for him to conceal his cultivation within Xuanfa Mountain.
How can you gain more respect from the sect without telling the truth? How can you harvest other people's emotions without telling the truth?
"Okay, now that we have discussed the four things, let's do whatever needs to be done."
One by one, the True Disciples stood up and left the True Disciples Palace, but most of them looked at Zhou Qing before leaving.
It felt like looking at some rare animal.
Jiang Mi invited him, "Brother Zhou, if you have time, why don't you go to my Wuguang Peak and sit for a while?"
"I still have some things to do, so I have to let down Senior Brother Jiang's kindness." Zhou Qing declined.
"Once my True Transmission Peak is on the right track, I will personally apologize to Senior Brother Jiang."
"Junior Brother Zhou, you are too kind."
Jiang Mi smiled, said hello to Zhou Qing and left, and so did Wang Zai.
But Zhou Qing didn't leave. He quickly walked up to Elder Qian and asked curiously, "Elder Qian, has the latest Dragon and Tiger Ranking of Hanzhou been released? How come I'm number one on the Dao Ranking?"
Also, I'm number one on the Enlightenment Ranking, so what title did I get? This is what Zhou Qing is most interested in.
"It has been released." Mr. Qian nodded and took out a list and handed it to Zhou Qing.
"Every time the Dragon and Tiger Ranking is released, the sect will also synchronize it to the 108 inner and outer peaks to motivate the disciples. You may not be aware of this since you have just entered the sect."
I really don’t know…
Zhou Qing took the list and asked, "Then, Master Qian, do you have any information about the issue where I ranked first on the Qingzhou Dao Ranking?"
"Yes, you defeated Ji Xingqiu, so you were ranked first on the Dao Ranking, and your title is Black Cloud Wild Fire."
???
Zhou Qing looked like an old man on the subway with his cell phone. What the hell? Black cloud and raging fire?
What a crappy title! Zhou Qing couldn’t accept it. It was so far from the sword immortal he had imagined.
The black clouds and raging fire give people a feeling of a reckless man.
Zhou Qing really couldn't accept it. This was a serious distortion of his painting style! But since he had already arrived in Hanzhou, he couldn't care less about Qingzhou's title.
We can only hope that Hanzhou's Dragon and Tiger Ranking will be more powerful...
He lowered his eyes and read the information on the list.
Number one on the Dragon Ranking, the Heavenly God Dugu, the first true disciple of Xuandu Temple, perfect manifestation of sainthood, ultimate marrow cleansing, reason for being on the list:...
The first one is the name of Dugu, who also practices both soul and martial arts, and has reached the peak under the Yin God's True Blood. His talent is truly beyond doubt.
But since this senior brother has already cultivated to this level, why doesn’t he get promoted to Venerable?
Zhou Qing didn't think that Xuandu's first true disciple would be trapped by the Venerable's barrier.
Also, the Dragon and Tiger List actually gave him the title of God, isn't that too cool? This is simply Zhou Qing's dream number.
Behind the reason why Dugu was on the list was a long list of his glorious achievements, which were extremely eye-catching and fierce.
Killing an ordinary venerable is just a very unremarkable achievement of Dugu.
He even went to the grassland and destroyed a barbarian tribe, then escaped under the pursuit of grassland masters, leaving only a pile of barbarian corpses.
In the elaborate ambush by the evil sects and demons, he was like a god descending to earth, thwarting all the conspiracies and tricks and living a proud life in the world.
Looking at Dugu's achievements in battle, Zhou Qing was secretly shocked. This senior brother was truly an extraordinary person.
There was one point in Dugu's message that caught Zhou Qing's special attention.
It is recorded in the Dragon and Tiger List that Dugu is a celestial being.
"Master Qian, what is this Heavenly God Dao Body?"
"You can think of it as a combination of an innate soul and an innate body. Among all souls and bodies, it is also one of the best."
Cowhide.
Dugu's innate conditions are so good. He has both an innate soul and an innate body, and they are top-notch ones. He is simply a natural material for dual cultivation.
Elder Qian advised Zhou Qing, "Don't be discouraged by Dugu's performance. The Heavenly God's Dao Body is very special and few people can compare to it."
Zhou Qing asked curiously: "How does this Heavenly God Body compare to Nirvana Bone?"
It was not surprising that he knew about Nirvana Bone, because he had heard from Qin Ming indirectly that there were many legends about Nirvana Bone in the world.
"Of course it can't compare to the Nirvana Bone." Elder Qian shook his head.
"Nirvana bones are rare in ancient times. From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of people who have Nirvana bones in recorded history. This is a natural immortal. Once it appears, it is destined to become an immortal."
“I see.”
Zhou Qing nodded silently, and suddenly felt that this divine body seemed to be normal.
After all, I have come into contact with Nirvana Bone and saved someone's life.
As for his frustration at Dugu's talent...
Indeed, I, Zhou, do not possess an innate soul or an innate body, but if I had countless golden fingers, how would you deal with it?
Feelings of inferiority and discouragement had long been completely erased from Zhou Qing's heart.
Zhou Qing looked at the second on the Dragon List, who was none other than Yan Kuangtu.
The second on the Dragon List, the Crazy Immortal Yan Kuangtu, the second true disciple of Xuandu Temple, the perfect manifestation of the saint, the reason for being on the list: ...
She was just a cultivator, and she had also cultivated to the perfection of Manifestation of Sainthood. This made Zhou Qing even more confused. She had already reached the perfection of Manifestation of Sainthood, so what was she planning to do if she didn't break through?
Yan Kuangtu’s combat record is also very fierce, and she also possesses an innate strange soul, but the Dragon and Tiger List does not specify what kind of strange soul it is.
This was probably some secret information, so Zhou Qing didn't ask Mr. Qian.
The third on the Dragon List, the boundless sea of stars and clouds, the third true teaching of Xuandu Temple, the ultimate marrow washing, the reason for being on the list: ...
The top three on the Hanzhou Dragon List were directly taken by the top three of Xuandu Temple, without any outsiders showing up.
Qi Yunhai is a congenital alien body, which is mentioned on the Dragon List and is called the Galaxy True Body.
Mr. Qian spoke at the right time to clear up Zhou Qing's confusion.
"Xinghe True Body, a top-level innate body. The most obvious feature of a person with this body is that their True Essence is strong and almost endless. Their physical body will be enhanced to an astonishing level."
Zhou Qing nodded, "It's a very powerful alien."
The top three true disciples of Xuan Du all possess extraordinary talents and are inherently much stronger than other people.
But Zhou Qing doesn't envy anything like different bodies and souls.
He is just jealous of the titles of these three people.
Gods, mad immortals, the galaxy is endless...
He liked them all, but unfortunately none of them belonged to him.
The 40th and 5th on the Dragon List are not disciples of Xuandu Temple, and they are not even from the human race, but geniuses from the Snow and Barbarian tribes.
Zhou Qing took a quick look at the information at the end, and then quickly found the number one on the Dao Ranking.
Number one on the Dao Ranking, Fire Dragon Zhou Qing...
Just seeing this, Zhou Qing's eyes went dark and he almost fainted from anger.
Fire Dragon Zhou Qing, Fire Dragon...
Could you be a little more perfunctory?
