Chapter 14: Life and Death Battle Before the Big Exam
On the eighth day of the nine-day big exam at Jianmen Pass, many people completed their first Transcendental Transmigration from the morning on this day.
Qi and blood break through the Baihui acupoint and turn into a waterfall of qi and blood hanging above the head. Such strange sights are everywhere.
Even Lu Buye completed his first transformation.
The ripples of Qi and blood wash the tendons, bones, skin, internal organs, and the whole body, making it perfect and spotless, cleansed of all impurities, and looking much more handsome.
He couldn't let go of the Overlord Cauldron and played with it! He easily lifted the thousand-jin cauldron, and his enormous strength was extraordinary.
This is the great power that comes after a transformation, which transcends ordinary mortals and is the most powerful force in the secular world.
Lu Buye played with the Overlord Cauldron for a long time before finally putting it down.
He participated in the Jianmen trial with the wish of becoming a member of Jianmen's outer sect. Now that he has completed a transformation and his wish has been fulfilled, he no longer has the idea of continuing to practice.
He walked up to Qu Yaozhou.
Qu Yaozhou was still practicing the Dragon Elephant Skill. At his feet were a bunch of empty medicine bottles.
In order to complete three transformations, Qu Yaozhou took a lot of drugs in the past few days, and even ate a 500-year-old ginseng.
“Lululul————”
Qi and blood flow in the body, flushing the bones, forging the five internal organs, and making the tendons, bones, and skin membranes become one.
The third transformation is not far away.
"I can achieve my third Transcendental Transformation today, or at the latest, I can complete it tomorrow!"
Qu Yaozhou is confident that he can complete three transformations in the great test and become an inner sect disciple.
He really wanted to continue practicing. In the distant land, blood-colored streaks crossed the sky and rushed up to a height of seven or eight feet in the void! !
This kind of vision is too astonishing. This is not just the first or second transformation, but someone has completed the third transformation.
"Has anyone completed the third transformation?"
Qu Yaozhou crossed his hands and slowly held them in the air. He looked up and finally saw the figure under the blood-red streak.
He was a scholar, wearing a jade-sounding phoenix, with his hands across the air. Shadows of dragons and elephants intertwined above his head, and the blood and energy in the air outlined a gigantic dragon-elephant silhouette.
The precious gems on his body kept colliding, shattering and falling to the ground.
But he did not stop and continued to practice the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu.
Fan Shaoli's third mortal transformation began, his blood and qi rose, his body turned into a furnace, the blood-colored dragon-elephant shadow resonated with the heaven and earth, absorbed the mysterious substance, flowed into the body, made the body bright, made the body glass! The heaven and earth created, the sun and the moon were in the sky, the blood and qi flew out of the body, closely connected with the heaven and earth, absorbing the spiritual energy to forge the body in the most direct way! The first mortal transformation was like this, the second mortal transformation was also like this, and the third mortal transformation made people see the changes of this scene more clearly.
The mysterious spiritual energy around him poured into Fan Shaoli's body, and along with his blood and qi, it washed over his body inside and out, up and down.
"Fan Shaoli! It's Fan Shaoli from Tianyuan Ancient City who has finally completed his third Transcendental Transformation."
"So it was him."
Fan Shaoli is very famous in Tianyuan Ancient City.
However, when they saw Fan Shaoli's third transcendence, they were not surprised but instead sighed.
"With his talent, he should have completed his third Transcendental Transformation long ago, and he should have the potential to achieve his fourth Transcendental Transformation within nine days of the exam. But right now, Fan Shaoli and his team can only complete three Transcendental Transformations at most."
As Fan Shaoli entered his third transcendence, the three figures beside him also entered their third transcendence one by one.
Three streams of blood and qi smoke broke through the Baihui acupoint and condensed together between heaven and earth.
The shadows of three dragon-elephants gathered together, and streams of energy and blood flowed across.
Ye Fei!
Qingyang Bai! Xia Qingzhou! The three geniuses also began their third transformation.
"Sure enough, they all transcended together, as if they had discussed it beforehand."
“What a pity.”
Many young masters sighed repeatedly.
Fan Shaoli, Qingyangbai, Xia Qingzhou, and Ye Fei are definitely the geniuses among them. They completed one metamorphosis on the first day and a second metamorphosis on the third day.
If it weren't for the dark horse from Tianyuan Ancient City that disturbed their Dao hearts, why would these Tianjiao be like this? "By the way, where is Gu Jiuqing from Tianyuan Ancient City?"
Gu Jiuqing! The reputation of this young man from Tianyuan Ancient City was not very prominent among them.
Later, it was rumored that Gu Jiuqing was the younger brother of the Yao Chi Fairy, and the name Gu Jiuqing spread like wildfire.
And as Gu Jiuqing completed his third transformation on the fifth day, his reputation became known among his peers.
"Gu Jiuqing completed three transformations and wanted to cultivate the sword intent. He asked Jianmen to teach him the sword-drawing technique, which caused Ye Fei and the others to practice the sword-drawing technique and observe the Jade Sword Intent day and night, wasting several days."
"Alas, several of these geniuses completed their third transformation on the eighth day. It was all because of Gu Jiuqing."
“.”
There were constant sighing sounds as the young men in the ancient city looked at the blood-red phantoms of the dragon and elephant in the distance. They only withdrew their gazes after the phantoms disappeared.
"Gu Jiuqing, Ye Fei, Qingyang Bai, Xia Qingzhou, and Fan Shaoli, it looks like these five people will be admitted into the inner sect this year!"
There is only one day left, and it will be too difficult to complete the third transformation in this day.
"What is that?"
Someone saw Gu Jiuqing and exclaimed.
Gu Jiuqing is the most outstanding among this group of young men from the ancient city, even surpassing Ye Fei and others. Some people secretly praise Gu Jiuqing as the number one pride in this world!
"Gu Jiuqing appeared. He got off the flying sedan chair and was walking towards the sword-testing stone."
"He just woke up at this time? He really knows how to sleep. Come to think of it, the Gu family has an ordinary bloodline, and there has never been a powerful spirit cultivator among their ancestors. The third transcendence is a sign of Gu Jiuqing. If he wants to complete the fourth transcendence, he may have to wait for several months, or even several years."
Many voices of suspicion arose and spread under Jianmen Pass.
Gu Jiuqing listened to all directions and when he heard the rumors, he just laughed it off and even blocked his five senses a lot.
In this way, the world became much quieter.
Sword-testing stone! The jade sword was inserted into the sword-testing stone. The sword energy was sharp and the sword intent was floating. Many sword mysteries were gathered together for people to comprehend.
Around the sword-testing stone, a dozen young men from the ancient city gathered. Most of them were young men who had completed two transformations. They knew they could not complete three transformations within nine days, so they wanted to fight for a chance to pass on the true teachings! Some young men held swords and practiced sword-drawing techniques. With one strike of the sword, they condensed a three-foot sword energy! There were also young men who did not carry swords, but could only hold dead branches to comprehend the true meaning of sword-drawing techniques.
But more young people were comprehending the jade sword intent on the sword-testing stone.
"Brother Gu is here!"
Fan Shaoli had a blank expression on his face, but only after seeing Gu Gu Jiuqing did he force out a smile.
"It seems that Brother Gu slept well last night. He didn't get up until noon."
"I wonder if Brother Gu has any new insights?"
Several people around looked at Gu Jiuqing.
The sword-drawing technique was taught by Gu Jiuqing, who was also the first person to complete three transformations of the mortal world. They also wanted to know how far Gu Jiuqing's sword skills had reached.
Gu Jiuqing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How can it be so easy to comprehend the way of the sword?"
During these few days of practice, Gu Jiuqing had no understanding of the sword's moves. With his whole body's energy and spirit in one, he could at most slash out with six feet of sword energy.
He has not even comprehended the sword's power, let alone its meaning.
Gu Jiuqing sat outside the sword-testing stone, comprehending the meaning of the jade sword.
Outside the sword-testing stone, it was quiet. Figures were trying to comprehend the sword's meaning. An unknown amount of time had passed before exclamations were heard from the outside world.
"Another person has completed the third transformation!"
"This is the sixth person to complete three Transcendental Transformations. It seems that six people will be able to join the inner sect of Jianmen this year."
The exclamations lasted for a long time before they died down.
Gu Jiuqing didn't care. He observed the sword-testing stone, comprehended the meaning of the jade sword, and continued to practice the sword art.
But it is possible that he really has no talent in swordsmanship and has no understanding of the sword spirit at all.
He heard footsteps, and when Gu Jiuqing opened his eyes, he saw Qu Yaozhou standing in front of him.
Qu Yaozhou! He was full of energy and vigor. He had just completed his third transformation.
The thin young man was as handsome as jade, with a hint of smile in his eyes as he looked at Gu Jiuqing who was still sitting.
"We meet again."
Lu Buye stood behind Qu Yaozhou. His other fellow villagers had already found other ways out. Those young men from the ancient city who had not completed a transformation were not worthy of following him into Jianmen.
"Unfortunately, it looks like we have to enter the inner gate together!"
The smile in Qu Yaozhou's eyes disappeared, and a hint of coldness gathered.
He is the son of the Qu family in the ancient city of Tianyuan. Among his Yao generation, he has the best talent. In the entire Qu family, he is a favored child of heaven that everyone pays attention to.
But Gu Jiuqing slapped him in the face in public! "Huh?"
Fan Shaoli frowned.
He knew about the grudge between Gu Jiuqing and Qu Yaozhou. Both of them were young men who came out of the ancient city of Tianyuan. Both of them had completed three transformations and neither of them would submit to the other.
This is a common occurrence among fellow townspeople, but once it happens, it often becomes a disaster.
"Noisy!"
"If you are here to watch the sword-testing stone, please take a seat quickly. If you do not want to comprehend the sword's meaning, please leave quickly."
A cold voice sounded, and Ye Fei was looking at Qu Yaozhou.
Ye Fei!
He was a disciple from a noble family, and his words made Qu Yaozhou change color.
"It seems that you have found your master. No wonder you are so arrogant."
Qu Yaozhou laughed, "Gu Jiuqing, we are not done with this matter yet. After we enter Jianmen, we will settle the matter between you and me."
Qu Yaozhou was about to leave, but Gu Jiuqing stood up!
His blood was boiling, and a surge of strength burst out from his hands. His two arms pressed directly on Qu Yaozhou's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, pinning him to the spot.
"Want to join the Sword Sect?"
"Do you think you are worthy?"
Gu Jiuqing couldn't bear it!
He loves music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his friends in the ancient city of Tianyuan are all scholars and poets.
How could there be such a vulgar person as Qu Yaozhou.
How dare you say such insulting words? "Bang!"
A huge force poured down, and the ground where Qu Yaozhou was standing sank!
Both legs were sunk more than two or three centimeters into the ground.
Qu Yaozhou's face turned red, and he felt as if his internal organs were being squeezed and were about to burst.
He mobilized his Qi and blood, and walked like an elephant in the wilderness! He used the first move of the Dragon Elephant Skill to break free from the restraints, and only then did the feeling of being squeezed by his internal organs disappear.
The blood in his body was flowing, and an illusory dragon elephant was faintly gathering above Qu Yaozhou's head.
He looked at the furious Gu Jiuqing and smiled instead.
"What? The Gu family dares to attack the Qu family?"
"When your father was alive, the Gu family didn't dare to say anything rude to the Qu family, let alone take action."
"How come your father is dead, but you are still so lawless?"
Gu Jiuqing's eyes turned red! His father died in the ancient ruins, and no one knew how he died.
But, if he was not killed by the formation in the ancient ruins, then he was killed by someone else. One day, he will find out the truth.
"I'll give you a chance!"
"As people who both came out of the ancient city of the North, we will solve this matter in the way of the North."
"Do you dare to fight me?"
Couldn’t ask for more!
I couldn't ask for more! Qu Yaozhou really didn't expect Gu Jiuqing to go crazy so easily.
It is indeed a declining family that cannot even cultivate its energy.
He looked at Gu Jiuqing indifferently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The Qu family has a magical power called Chaotianque! Worshiping the Tianque and borrowing the power of the ancient ancestor, the Qu family is a famous family, only one step away from becoming a noble family. The Qu family has been able to stand firm in the north for so many years, thanks to this magical power - Chaotianque!
Even the young people in the Qu family can borrow the power of the ancient ancestor.
This also makes it less likely that the younger generations of the Qu family will die young.
Fight? Do you dare to fight with me? You haven't yet joined Jianmen, you are not a disciple of Jianmen. You can solve the conflict in the way of the ancient city of the north. If you hold it at Jianmen Pass, Jianmen will not stop you!
"What? A duel in the North? Qu Yaozhou is going to duel with Gu Jiuqing?"
"You two are both the chosen ones who have achieved three Transcendental Transformations. If you were to duel, life or death would not matter. If you duel at this time, aren't you worried that you won't be able to join the inner sect?"
Inner sect of Jianmen, is there anything that can’t be discussed after you join the inner sect?
Must the duel take place during the final exam? Figures stood up one after another, and the young men who were watching the sword-testing stone were also attracted by the duel.
The young man who was practicing Dragon Elephant Kung Fu in the distance also moved.
Two young men who have undergone three transformations are about to duel, and this duel is so attractive.
All eyes fell on Gu Jiuqing. They all looked at Gu Jiuqing curiously, wondering whether this young man would agree!
"good!"
Gu Jiuqing felt the gazes of the people around him and he just uttered this one word.
Qu Yaozhou smiled, "Okay! You and I will fight in the style of the Northern Ancient City, regardless of life or death!"
"Gu Jiuqing, have you thought about when you want to die?"
Chaotianque is Qu Yaozhou's biggest trump card. He is absolutely sure that he can kill Gu Jiuqing.
Before joining Jianmen, killing a genius who had achieved three levels of transcendence would make Qu Yaozhou's determination in the Dao more firm.
Not everyone can kill a genius of the same level.
"tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow at noon! You and I will fight it out here!"
"Okay, then tomorrow at noon. I hope you won't back down then."
"Tomorrow is the last day of the exam. If you back down, even if you join Jianmen, you will become a laughing stock of Jianmen."
Qu Yaozhou is trying to block Gu Jiuqing's retreat.
With a smile on his face and a graceful demeanor, he left the Sword Testing Stone area.
For a while, there was a lot of noise at Jianmen Pass, and the matter even spread to Jianmen.
This is the first time a duel has occurred at Jianmen Pass in all these years, but this matter is insignificant to Jianmen.
Even if both of them died, Jianmen would only lose two disciples who had not yet joined the inner sect.
Under the sword-testing stone, Xia Qingzhou couldn't help but speak when he saw that the matter had been settled.
"You're careless!"
As both are geniuses, they all have absolute confidence in themselves.
They all think that they are the best in the same realm and are invincible.
"You shouldn't have agreed to Qu Yaozhou so early. Although the Qu family is not a noble family, it is because one of their ancestors joined the Jianmen Sect and became an elder of the Jianmen Sect."
"According to the Jianmen rules, once you become a Jianmen elder, you must sever your ties with the Beidi Ancient City. Otherwise, the Qu family would have been promoted to an aristocratic family long ago."
Gu Jiuqing said calmly, and he sat down again.
"The Qu family has a magical power called the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Wheel. This is a magical power created by the ancestor of the Qu family. Qu Yaozhou has not yet cultivated his magic power and cannot practice this magical power."
“But the Qu family has another unique skill, called Chaotianque! It can borrow the power of the ancient ancestors. With Qu Yaozhou’s three transformations, the power he can borrow is about three to four times his own.”
How can Gu Jiuqing resist the power of three or four times that of his peers?
The other three geniuses from aristocratic families frowned, and they secretly thought it was a pity.
A family prodigy is about to fall.
Hmm? Gu Jiuqing smiled slightly. He was a scholar, how could he easily join the game?
He just did it on purpose!
He said he wanted to kill Qu Yaozhou.
If one wants to kill Qu Yaozhou, the best opportunity is before he joins Jianmen.
Once you join Jianmen and kill someone in Jianmen, the consequences will be too great.
Gu Jiuqing looked at Xia Qingzhou curiously and asked.
"Why can Qu Yaozhou only borrow three or four times his own strength? Is it because his ancestor is not capable of this? Or is there some other reason?"
Xia Qingzhou was stunned! What? What question was Gu Jiuqing asking? Shouldn't he be worried about tomorrow's duel? Why was he still asking about the power of Chaotianque? Did he want to understand Chaotianque and then crack this magical power?
Could it be that Gu Jiuqing also has a trump card? "Is it because of the shackles of the physical body? Then how many times can we break the shackles of the physical body?"
Gu Jiuqing asked Xia Qingzhou very seriously.
This is about the number of times he has transformed into a mortal! What is this problem?
Looking at Gu Jiuqing, Xia Qingzhou felt that he was overthinking.
The update time is in the afternoon.
They are two sheets in one, with nearly five thousand words!
Begging you to read on!
