【Master Chapter 19】Xiantai Trial Meeting

The sect competition is a rare event for Haoqi Sect. Every competition is a test of the strength of the younger generation of the sect, and also a proof of the disciples' hard work. The winners of every competition are all talented and gifted.

The news of this competition has already spread throughout Haoqi Sect. Disciples from all peaks are eager to show their skills in the competition. Those who are confident that they can enter the top ten and get a place have already set their sights on the generous rewards.

As the largest sect in Taoism, Haoqi Sect is also very generous. Not only can the top ten in the great realm competition receive rich rewards such as magic weapons, elixirs, and spirit stones, but even the top three in each small realm competition under the great realm can also receive considerable rewards. The most coveted of all, and Chu Jiao's goal, is a place in the Immortal Terrace Trial Meeting!

The so-called Immortal Terrace Trial Meeting is actually a gathering jointly set up by the ten major sects in the Tianyuan Realm to cultivate talented disciples. It is said that a long time ago, several great men discovered a secret realm together. There were a large number of natural treasures and many artificially set levels in the secret realm, but only cultivators in the foundation-building period could enter. Several powerful people suppressed their cultivation and went in to investigate. They found that although there were many magic weapons and elixirs inside, the challenges were not small, and most of these treasures were needed for the foundation-building period. Therefore, they guessed that this secret realm might be a place specially set up by a certain ancient sect to train its disciples. The powerful people looked down on the things in the secret realm, and simply reached an agreement to use this place as a place for training disciples. Several people set up a seal together, and opened it every fifty years, each time recommending several disciples from various sects to enter the trial.

Of course, since it is a secret realm, there must be dangers in it, but cultivation is to go against the will of heaven and survive in danger. Such risks cannot stop the monks from pursuing the great way.

It is said that every time someone can come out of the secret realm alive, they will have great fortune in the future. Therefore, the spots in the Immortal Stage Trial are also very popular.

It has been three years since Ling Yue left. Chu Jiao has already reached the Great Perfection of the Initial Stage of Foundation Building, and is only one step away from being promoted to the Intermediate Stage of Foundation Building.

In the fiercely competitive competition, although she failed to enter the top ten of the Great Stage of Foundation Building due to her low level and little experience, she did not live up to her master's reputation. With a sword, she traversed the martial arts arena and successfully won the first place in the Initial Stage of Foundation Building. The second person she was firmly suppressed by was the heroine Su Ruizhi.

Chu Jiao didn't know whether it was because of her surge in strength or because of her master's shock last time. Su Ruizhi didn't choke on her like before, and even recalled the title "Senior Sister Chu".

Chu Jiao knew that the two had different positions, so she asked for nothing else, as long as the heroine stopped causing trouble to her.

She doesn't pay attention to anything now, she just wants to see the master as soon as possible, and pester him to win him no matter what.

419 has been whispering in her ears for a long time, saying that she is the most useless host it has ever seen, and that the tasks in each world can drag on for so long.

Chu Jiao was also helpless. She retorted to 419, blaming it for choosing such a difficult world and task object for her every time, which choked 419 into speechlessness.

In short, Chu Jiao finally boarded the spirit ship of Haoqi Sect to the Xiantai Trial Meeting with the other eight winners.

As the name suggests, the Xiantai Trial Meeting is held on Xiantai Mountain.

Xiantai Mountain is located in the southern continent of Tianyuan Realm, among the 100,000 mountains. Further south is the famous Demon Desire Abyss.

During the ancient war between immortals and demons, an immortal swung his axe and split an abyss on the battlefield, like a ridge in the sky, which deterred countless demon soldiers and also formed a protective barrier for human cultivators. As time passed, the abyss was gradually occupied and infiltrated by the demons. In the most recent war between immortals and demons, many demons crossed the abyss and invaded the human world.

Fortunately, the great cultivators of that time worked together to force the demons back to their lair, and even set up a large formation outside the Ten Thousand Mountains, once again protecting the peace of the human world.

The huge spirit ship of the Haoqi Sect slowly landed on the mountain platform. Chu Jiao followed the team leader, Senior Brother Pei Xiu, and the group got off the ship together. They were not the first sect to arrive. There were already many cultivators standing or sitting on the fairy platform. Chu Jiao took a rough look around and could recognize one or two from their clothes and dress.

Some were covered in talisman robes, and they were obviously from the Futian Sect, which was good at making talismans. Some were unkempt, hiding in the corners of the fairy platform, chanting around the alchemy furnace. They must be the medicine maniacs of the Yaoding Sect. Some had a bright head, held the rosary, lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads without saying a word. They must be the Buddhist cultivators of the Foyin Sect.

Pei Xiu and the people from the Haoqi Sect found an open space on the huge fairy platform and took a short rest. It seemed that the ten major sects had almost arrived. When everyone was gathered, it was time to open the secret realm!

In her ears was the chattering of Su Ruizhi and her fellow brothers. Chu Jiao stood alone with her sword in her arms, not interrupting, and looked at the people on the stage by herself.

She had been in this world for so many years, but this was the first time she had seen so many peers at the same time. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Each of them should not be underestimated, and they might become her opponents in the secret realm.

Chu Jiao observed the people on the stage inconspicuously and carefully. Her eyes moved around, and naturally her attention was attracted by a group of people who didn't fit in - the group of Buddhist practitioners wearing monk robes and lowering their brows.

There were only ten of them, but they all looked like they were cast from the same mold, with one hand making the fearless seal and the other waving prayer beads, as if they had just emerged from the world. Some of the monks had bulging muscles and looked like Vajra Arhats, while others were skinny and looked like they were practicing ascetic meditation. Chu Jiao's eyes moved a little bit, and then she inadvertently met a pair of cold and emotionless eyes.

That was the one standing at the edge of the group of Buddhist practitioners. He had an extremely ordinary face, but a pair of eyes that made people startle. He stood there straight, tall and slender, like the light and dust.
