The once-every-ten-year sect competition is a grand event on the Wuyuan Continent. All sects on the continent can send their disciples to participate, and of course, cultivation families can also participate.
Both Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators and Core Formation stage cultivators in the sect can participate. Five cultivators form a group. Large sects like Xuanling Sect can arrange hundreds of groups. Of course, there are also smaller sects that can only put together one group to participate in the sect competition.
This time, as usual, the Xuanling Sect arranged twenty groups.
Each group is led by a Core Formation elder, while the other group members are peak Foundation Establishment disciples and early Core Formation cultivators.
Shui Qingchen from Jade Maiden Peak, Elder Qiu from Nine Peaks, Elder Xiang from No Return Peak, Elder Yuan from Cloud Sea Peak, Elder Pan who guards the back mountain, and some Core Formation stage elders that Su Qing doesn't recognize are all group leaders participating in this sect competition.
It can be said that those who participate in the sect competition are the backbone of the sect.
Twenty groups, equivalent to twenty Core Formation stage cultivators, eighty Foundation Establishment peak disciples, and a total of over a hundred cultivators.
This applies not only to the Xuanling Sect, but to all five major sects.
Each of the ten major cultivation families has eight subgroups, and it must be said that the strength of these cultivation families should not be underestimated.
Each sect competition attracts two to three thousand cultivators.
Su Qing was assigned to Shui Qingchen's group this time, so Senior Brother Yu Kui could not participate, as he was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
To Su Qing's surprise, Xuan Qingye was also in her group.
“Xuan Qingye!” Su Qing frowned slightly.
Xuan Qingye's lips curled up, his smile was cold, and Su Qing felt that the surroundings had suddenly changed.
Xuan Qingye has actually cultivated a domain!
Su Qing hadn't expected Xuan Qingye to be so strong.
"I believe I am qualified to participate in the sect competition."
Xuan Qingye stood in her own snow-covered domain, looking down at Su Qing.
This is his domain, and he is the god here.
Su Qing didn't move, she just looked at him. Xuan Qingye suddenly felt his domain become scorching hot.
In just a moment, flames raged around Su Qing, and Xuan Qingye lost control of her!
Xuan Qingye was shocked and was about to do something when he felt a hand pat his shoulder.
"You're very good, but never be arrogant." Su Qing's voice rang in Xuan Qingye's ear.
The contest between Su Qing and Xuan Qingye lasted only a moment, and even those around them didn't notice that the two were exchanging blows.
"Su Qing, just how strong are you?" Xuan Qingye clutched her chest, looking at Su Qing with disbelief.
This was a domain he had painstakingly cultivated by overcoming his inner demons amidst the eternal ice, how could it be broken by Su Qing in just one exchange?
How strong?
Su Qing turned her head and looked at the Xuanling Sect Leader.
What?
Can his combat power compare to that of the Xuanling Sect Leader?
“I can’t beat him.” Su Qing smiled and looked at Xuan Qingye.
Xuan Qingye breathed a sigh of relief, but then quickly gasped again. What did this mean?
Could it be that, apart from the sect leader, no Nascent Soul cultivator is a match for Su Qing?
How could that be? She only has the cultivation level of the peak of Foundation Establishment.
“If we’re talking about pure combat strength, we’re about the same, but I can summon spirit beasts. Even ten of you combined wouldn’t be a match for me,” Su Qing said. “Since you’ve already comprehended the Domain and insist on participating in the sect competition, then do your best to survive.”
Su Qing looked at Xuan Qingye intently.
Having trained together for so long, Su Qing really didn't want anything to happen to Xuan Qingye.
However, geniuses are always stubborn. Since we can't keep him in the sect, we can only leave it to his own fate.
Shui Qingchen turned to look at Su Qing and sighed inwardly. Not long ago, when Su Qing had just joined the sect, she was still an outer disciple he had taken in. He never expected that in such a short time, Su Qing would already be at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from forming the Core.
Now he's even become a member of the same team, fighting alongside them. His progress is truly unimaginable!
It was quite a sight to see all one hundred disciples of the Xuanling Sect, along with the three Nascent Soul stage protectors, taking to the air on their swords. The sect leader of the Xuanling Sect looked up at his disciples as they set off for the Gobi Desert, and his heart was filled with unease.
I have a feeling that this year's sect competition will be more dangerous than in previous years.
In addition to the Xuanling Sect, Wuji Sect, Wuxiao Sect, Luoying Sect, and Tianyan Sect, the four major sects also arranged for hundreds of disciples to participate in the sect competition to go to the Gobi Desert.
The Yan, Fang, Zhu, Xue, Shang, Qian, Gao, Xia, Chang, and Shen families, all ten major cultivation families, arranged eight teams to head towards the Gobi Desert.
Other sects and families sent a total of 2,800 cultivators to the Gobi Desert for this sect competition.
Su Qing entered the Gobi Desert, where she also encountered her enemies.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Yutian, a Nascent Soul protector of the Wuji Sect, entered the Gobi Desert. In addition to Wen Yutian, Shen Qingfan of the Wuxiao Sect also entered the Gobi Desert.
Not only the Wuji Sect and the Wuxiao Sect, but also the Han family's only Nascent Soul stage ancestor.
When Han Zhen returned to the Han family, he was in a terrible state. The Han family patriarch was heartbroken and determined to avenge Han Zhen. He planned to kill Su Qing during the sect competition.
It wasn't just the Han family who wanted to kill Su Qing; the Yan family was too.
The Yan family has endured long enough.
Yan Ziying's death has always been a great loss to the Yan family!
Su Qing, the prime suspect in Yan Ziying's death, is their target they are determined to eliminate this time.
In order to deal with Su Qing, the patriarch of the Yan family also came out of seclusion and led eight groups of the Yan family into the Gobi Desert.
It's fair to say that Su Qing has quite a few rivals this time!
But so what?
In the Xuanling Sect, a large family, Su Qing is protected by three Nascent Soul stage guardians and led by twenty Core Formation stage elders, so she is now fearless.
"This is the Gobi Desert?" Protector Jiang frowned slightly as he looked at this barren land full of sand.
The Gobi Desert is not only barren, but the surrounding spiritual energy is also extremely thin, less than one-thousandth of the spiritual energy of the Xuanling Sect.
"Why would they choose such a place for the sect competition?" Protector Qin was also very dissatisfied with the Gobi Desert.
"Of course, it's because there are demonic cultivators here." The Xuanling Sect has arranged for a female protector this time; she is Shen Qinglai, the protector of Danxia Peak.
Shen Qinglai is a member of the Shen family, one of the ten great cultivation families.
The Shen family's old house was located in Loulan City, on the outskirts of the Gobi Desert, so they were quite familiar with the Gobi Desert.
"Our Shen family has been fighting the demonic cultivators of the Gobi Desert for a century, watching them grow stronger little by little. Now, the demonic cultivators are no longer content with the Gobi Desert; they have begun to infiltrate other parts of the Boundless Continent, leaving corpses everywhere they go. This sect competition is precisely to eliminate those demonic cultivators hiding in the Gobi Desert!" Shen Qinglai said.
