Chapter 142 World Four [End]
This move of the evil demon was also beyond the expectations of the evil cultivators. The five elders were still waiting for their own demon lord to devour the divine beast, and then they would become great heroes and receive rewards.
As a result, they didn't even see the final outcome of the battle, and just became food for the evil demon, helping him replenish the energy he had consumed.
However, such an ending can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect for them.
They sacrificed thousands of lives for the evil, and they died at the hands of the evil, which is very reasonable.
"How is the battle going?" The director of the General Administration and several other leaders arrived a step slower with their men, and just happened to see the evil demon devouring the evil cultivator.
"Senior Baihu is not injured, and three of the eight heads of the evil demon have been chopped off. As long as there is no problem with the supply of spiritual power, the evil demon will definitely be defeated by Senior Baihu." said the director of the Jian'an City Special Management Bureau.
The director-general nodded, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the deputy director who was covered in blood, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
The deputy director silently put away his weapon. "Only a divine beast can defeat the evil demon. I will not do anything unnecessary until the evil demon is destroyed."
"After the evil demon is eliminated, you are also not allowed to do anything unnecessary." The director of the General Administration said expressionlessly.
The deputy director moved his lips, but after seeing Jing Ke and Wen Ruyue still fighting on the front line, he chose to swallow back what he wanted to say.
It was easy to guess what the deputy director wanted to say. He wanted to tell the director of the general bureau that Jing Ke, as a divine beast, had too strong a killing instinct. In just three minutes, he had shattered the souls of dozens of big monsters without any hesitation, leaving them without even the chance to reincarnate. This was too cruel and ruthless.
If Jing Ke's mind is affected after she has dealt with the evil demon, it would be a disaster for the human cultivators. There would be no other divine beast that could fight against her!
But Jing Ke is still fighting on the front line for the human cultivators. No matter how extreme the deputy director is, he cannot say these words in public at this time.
-
Jing Ke and the evil demon each took about a minute to replenish their spiritual power. When the battle started again, the evil demon was obviously much smarter.
He made full use of his dozens of extra arms and turned them into polluted entities before Jing Ke cut them off. He flew towards Wen Ruyue behind him, trying to severely injure her.
Seeing this, Jing Ke looked back and subconsciously wanted to help Wen Ruyue block the attack.
But Sect Leader Wen was even faster, shattering the flying limbs with a wave of his sleeve.
The leaders of the other seven major sects and directors above the Jindan stage came out one after another and protected Wen Ruyue firmly.
They all knew very well that only Wen Ruyue could summon the lightning that could destroy the evil cultivator's head. If they wanted to completely eliminate the evil cultivator, they had to protect her.
Seeing this, Jing Ke turned around quickly, dodged the magic weapon that was about to hit his face, picked up the long sword and chopped off several arms of the evil demon.
A battle that is barely evenly matched is the most time-consuming. After learning to use its flying arms to capture evil cultivators as food, the evil demon switched from defense to offense and no longer gave Jing Ke the opportunity to chew spirit stones to replenish his spiritual power.
At the same time, the evil demon tried to use the black air emitted from his body to corrode Jing Ke's aura, wanting to invade her sea of consciousness and turn Jing Ke into an evil being like himself.
Jing Ke, who had predicted that the evil demon would do this, naturally would not fall for it. The black energy dissipated completely before touching Jing Ke's skin, and had no chance to invade her sea of consciousness at all.
After seeing two of its five remaining heads being chopped off, the evil demon's IQ began to decline. Not only did it speed up the process of devouring the evil cultivators, it also did not let go of the corpses on the ground and ate them all.
I'm so hungry, I eat anything.
Seeing that the evil demon's sanity value was dropping more and more, Jing Ke didn't care too much and directly wiped the white sword blade across the palm of his left hand, letting the sword blade be stained with his own blood.
After Jing Ke chopped off three extra heads in one breath, Wen Ruyue also released the last three lightning bolts.
The evil demon's shrill screams resounded throughout the entire place, and those with low cultivation levels were already covering their ears and about to faint.
Kill him while he is ill.
When the evil demon had only its last head left, Jing Ke used his ultimate move, biting his tongue to force out a bit of his own blood and attached it to the sword blade, then he gripped the hilt with both hands and delivered the final blow.
When the evil demon realized that his life might end like this, he screamed miserably and was filled with unwillingness. At the last moment, he chose to self-destruct his Nascent Soul, letting everyone present be buried with him.
Jing Ke's pupils shrank slightly, and after quickly chopping off the last head of the evil demon, he instantly transformed into his original form and rushed towards the evil demon.
While knocking the part of the demon below the neck away, Jing Ke's body, which was already a giant, grew even bigger, trying to trap the demon and use his body to offset the impact of his final self-explosion.
"Jing Ke! Don't!" Wen Ruyue discovered Jing Ke's intention and instantly lost all her rationality and was about to rush towards her.
Sect Leader Wen promptly wrapped his arms around his disciple's waist, pinning her to his side so that Wen Ruyue couldn't move at all.
"Calm down. You signed a soul contract to live and die together. As long as you are okay, Xiaojing will be okay." Sect Leader Wen said, and pushed Wen Ruyue's lost rationality back into her head.
Wen Ruyue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but an explosion sounded first, followed by a gust of air that could blow away a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After watching the giant white tiger disappear from sight with the explosion, Wen Ruyue felt as if all her spiritual power was drained away in an instant. Her body suddenly became limp and she could only rely on her master.
In fact, Wen Ruyue's spiritual power was indeed drawn away by Jing Ke, because a familiar little fur ball came along with the air wave.
The little ball of fur flew towards Wen Ruyue, who was unsteady on her feet, with some faint black stripes in it.
Wen Ruyue was too weak to stand up and could only stretch out her hands to catch the little ball of fur.
The little ball of fur came with the air wave, stretched its limbs less than ten meters away from Wen Ruyue, and then landed accurately in her arms.
Wen Ruyue was able to continue standing thanks to her master, so when she caught the little tiger, her body fell backwards due to inertia.
So, Sect Leader Wen, who was first hit by the gust of air and then attacked by the little ball of fur, couldn't help but take a half step back, and then tried hard to pick up his eldest disciple and the little tiger in her arms.
This may be the fate of being a master, destined to bear part of the impact for the eldest disciple.
"Contractor, are you okay? I didn't have time to replenish my spiritual power just now, so I borrowed the spiritual power in your body." Jing Ke, the little tiger, said, rubbing his Taoist partner's neck with his furry head.
"It's okay, are you okay? The evil demon's self-explosion just now..." Wen Ruyue asked a little dazedly. The extreme sorrow and joy made her emotions fluctuate too intensely, and she couldn't calm down for a while.
"It's okay, it's just that his strength has regressed to the Jindan stage. He can't transform into a human form or an adult in a short period of time, but otherwise he's fine." Jing Ke flicked his tail lightly, stepped on Wen Ruyue's arm and looked at Sect Master Wen behind her.
"Master, are you okay?" Jing Ke also asked about Master Wen.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine." Sect Leader Wen also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
If his cultivation level just regressed, it would be a blessing in disguise. After all, self-destruction can always take away cultivators of the same level.
"Senior Baihu, on behalf of all members of the Special Management Bureau, I would like to thank you for your contribution in this battle." The director of the General Administration walked over and bowed.
"In the future, if Senior Baihu needs anything, as long as it is something that the Special Management Bureau can do, Senior Baihu can just let us know." The director of the General Administration promised.
She also heard what Jing Ke said just now. If it weren't for Jing Ke, everyone present would have died at the hands of the evil demon.
"Really? Can I make any request?" Jing Ke placed his little paws on his partner's shoulders and tilted his head to look at the director of the General Administration.
The director of the General Administration was struck by a heart-wrenching blow. She, who always had a keen sense of pets, couldn't help but soften her heart. She slowed down her voice and said, "Yes, Senior Baihu, is there anything the Special Management Bureau can do for you?"
"I hope my contractors can freely choose their missions, unless you encounter a very difficult opponent." Jing Ke said, "The contractor is mine. She should spend more time with me instead of completing your missions."
"Senior Baihu is right. We were not thoughtful enough. Consultant Wen's time should be yours, Senior Baihu." The Director of the General Administration immediately gave a clear answer.
"From today on, Advisor Wen will be a special advisor to the General Administration. His administrative rank is just below mine. Before requesting Advisor Wen's assistance, local special affairs bureaus must first write a report to me. Only after my approval can they submit a request to Advisor Wen."
"Of course, if Advisor Wen doesn't have time at that time, he doesn't need to pay attention to our request. We will coordinate internally and work hard to resolve it," the director of the General Administration added.
The deputy director seemed to be hesitant to speak, but every time he saw Jing Ke's furry little head, he swallowed his words back.
I already owe my life to the divine beast, so I don't seem to have the right to stand on the human side and talk about the threat of the divine beast.
Secondly, looking at the little white tiger that was only the size of an ordinary cat, the deputy director really couldn't tell what threat it posed.
"Okay, sure." Jing Ke nodded with satisfaction.
Before she could say much, the black air that had originally shrouded the barrier completely disappeared, and what followed was not only warm sunlight, but also a thick golden light descending.
Jing Ke and Wen Ruyue were enveloped in the golden light of merit. Not only were their spiritual powers instantly replenished, but all the hidden injuries on their bodies were also completely healed.
Theoretically, the golden light of merit could restore Jing Ke to her peak state directly, but she hesitated for a moment and chose to slap the remaining half of the golden light of merit away with her claws, letting it fall on the magic weapon that had been shattered.
Before the others who had gained traces of merit could react, they saw the original blood-red color of the magic weapon slowly fade away, replaced by a bright white light.
"The souls of those great monsters are slowly reorganizing and recovering..." said the leader of the Beast Taming Sect, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"Senior Baihu, thank you." The Jindan stage demon who arrived a little late bowed his head to express his gratitude.
"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it." Jing Ke, the little tiger, shook his tail and lay comfortably in Wen Ruyue's arms.
My contractor loves furry creatures so much. If the post-war summary shows that dozens of furry monsters have been killed, I might be sad for a long time.
Anyway, my body can recover slowly with time, so I'll give away those golden lights of merit and send those big monsters back into reincarnation.
The last scattered golden light of merit floated in the air for a long time, and then fell at the entrance of the shattered evil cultivator's base camp.
Immediately afterwards, a gray and red seven-tailed fox ran out, using its head and tail to push away the debris. It shook its body as it ran, and after getting rid of the dust on its body, it transformed into a beauty wearing slippers.
When Gu Qi ran away before, he was in such a hurry that he didn’t even change his shoes.
The evil cultivator naturally couldn't give her time to change her shoes, so she was now wearing very casual home sandals.
"Advisor Wen, Senior Baihu, good afternoon?" After noticing that many people were looking at him, Gu Qi greeted them tentatively.
"Good afternoon." Wen Ruyue replied. After seeing Gu Qi able to run and jump, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I'm glad you're okay, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fulfill my promise to Cai Meng.
-
All the monks who participated in this battle gained some golden light of merit, and their wounds that could have been fatal were partially healed, reducing the casualties to a minimum.
The post-war cleaning work was definitely not Jing Ke and Wen Ruyue's turn. After Jing Ke expressed that he wanted to sleep, the director of the General Administration immediately sent out his special car, intending to take the man and the tiger to the local Special Affairs Bureau reception area to have a good rest.
"Advisor Wen, Senior Baihu, our Beast Taming Sect has a base in the next city with a good concentration of spiritual energy. Would you like to go there and rest for a few days?" said the head of the Beast Taming Sect.
"There are many spiritually charged ingredients stored inside. Senior White Tiger, please enjoy them to your heart's content," the Beastmaster added. "If nothing unexpected happens to my eldest disciple, she should be nearby. How about I have her go to the base and prepare to entertain you two?"
After hearing that there was unlimited food to enjoy, Jing Ke couldn't help but tremble his ears, and then he realized that he was a little hungry.
"Is it Yu Sijin?" Jing Ke asked, having already made a decision in her heart.
"Yes, it was Sijin. She originally wanted to come and help, but I ordered her to stay in the sect to prevent the evil cultivators from splitting into two groups and taking advantage of the empty rear of the Beastmaster Sect to attack us." said Sect Leader Yu.
It is normal for Master Yu to have such thoughts. After all, the best nourishment for magic weapons is the transformed demon.
There are plenty of spirit beasts that meet the requirements in the Beast Taming Sect. If more people are not left behind, the entire sect may fall and even become food for magic weapons.
"Thank you very much, Master." Jing Ke did not refuse. "By the way, what is your name, Master?"
"Senior Baihu, just call me Xiaoyu." Sect Leader Yu said very modestly.
"Yu Sijin's Yu?" Jing Ke asked, tilting her head. "Is she your daughter?"
"Si Jin is my little niece, but my fish is Yu'er's Yu, not Si Jin's Yu." said the head of the fish sect.
Originally, Sect Leader Yu's surname was also Yu, but the spirit beast she contracted was a giant whale in the sea. In order to coax the spirit beast to leave the sea and live with her in the small pool in the residence, Sect Leader Yu became Sect Leader Yu.
Jing Ke nodded as if she understood, not knowing why the same family had two surnames.
However, Jing Ke didn't have the energy to ask too many questions. Because she had shared half of the golden light of merit, she felt like sleeping while chatting.
After seeing the little white tiger close its eyes and fall asleep, the people present quieted down. They just made a few gestures to Wen Ruyue and asked her to take a special car to the Beast Taming Sect’s nearby base.
After Wen Ruyue left in the car, the director of the General Administration, who had a good relationship with Master Wen, asked the question that was hidden in his heart.
"Why does the divine beast White Tiger call you Master? Did you teach the divine beast something without our knowledge?" the Director of the General Administration asked curiously.
Although the director's eyebrows were a bit gray, her age and cultivation level were similar to that of Sect Leader Wen. Before the establishment of the Special Management Bureau, the two had been close friends, and after its establishment, their interactions became even more frequent.
"Well, of course it's because my eldest disciple and Xiaojing have become a couple, so Xiaojing also follows Ruyue in calling me Master." Sect Leader Wen said in a flat tone.
However, the Director of the General Administration, who had a long-standing friendship with Sect Leader Wen, still heard the boasting hidden in her heart and showed a hint of amazement. "I see, but the story of divine beasts and contractors becoming Taoist companions is also recorded in ancient books. They are indeed a very suitable couple."
After a pause, the director of the General Administration smiled sincerely. "With this, the sacred beast White Tiger is completely bound to your Lingxiao Sect. The wish you made in your youth may finally come true."
"Maybe." Sect Leader Wen did not refute. Who hasn't dreamed of being the protagonist when they were young and frivolous?
Sect Leader Wen was no exception, especially when he learned that he was likely to take over Lingxiao Sect from his own master, Sect Leader Wen also wanted to turn the tide and lead the disciples of Lingxiao Sect to work hard, and then become the undisputed number one sect in the world.
"By the way, what will be the arrangements for the sect exchange meeting originally scheduled for this year? Will it be postponed to next year, or will it be postponed to November or December after the evil cultivators are dealt with?" asked Sect Leader Wen.
"Let's hold a meeting to discuss the details after we clear the battlefield," said the director of the General Administration.
There is no explicit ranking among the eight major sects, and the authorities do not want their own sects to fall into unnecessary internal friction, so in various measures, the eight major sects are treated equally.
However, not all the cultivators in the eight major sects can think this way. Many sect leaders have had the same idea as Sect Leader Wen, wanting to make their sect the best in the world.
Because rankings are definitely not effective for fellow Taoists, in the end the eight major sects defaulted to using the evaluation results of the friendly exchange meeting held every five years as the internal ranking of the eight major sects.
When the friendly exchange meeting started last year, among Master Wen's five disciples, only Wen Ruyue broke through to the foundation-building stage, so she only ranked eighth in the end.
Although it has left those relatively smaller sects far behind, it cannot change the fact that Lingxiao Sect is at the bottom among the eight major sects.
But things are different now. Master Wen’s beloved disciple is already a Jindan-stage cultivator, and he has the divine beast, the white tiger, by his side.
Even without the divine beast White Tiger, Wen Ruyue alone could probably draw a draw with a late Jindan cultivator. Only those with profound cultivation, such as the Sect Master, the Director, and the Deputy Director, could secure a victory.
Of course, these old veterans are usually just mascots at friendly exchange meetings, and they only need to show their faces at the beginning and the end.
Moreover, there are specific regulations for friendly exchange meetings. The age limit for individual competitions is no more than 40, and the age limit for team competitions is no more than 50, leaving the opportunities for performance to relatively young people rather than those of them who are almost in three digits in age.
-
On the other side, Jing Ke was sleeping soundly in the arms of his Taoist partner. It was not until he was carried into the Beast Taming Sect's headquarters, which was filled with rich spiritual energy, that he slowly opened his eyes, revealing his big, clear amber eyes.
"Are we there yet?" Jing Ke turned over, from lying on his back to nestling in Wen Ruyue's arms.
"We're here." Wen Ruyue pinched the little white tiger's paw and looked at Yu Sijin who was running towards them excitedly.
"Junior Sister Wen, you are here. What would Senior Baihu like to eat? I brought a lot of local specialties with me this time." Yu Sijin said excitedly.
The news that the evil demon was completely killed by the divine beast White Tiger and Wen Ruyue has spread in the internal forum. Anyone who is not in seclusion without internet connection has basically known the news.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Yu." Wen Ruyue said with a smile, patting the little white tiger's head. "Jing Ke, what would you like to eat?"
"Well, I want to eat hot pot, with more flavors." Jing Ke said, "Feed me."
"No problem, Senior Baihu, please wait for a moment. We will prepare the soup base right away. We will prepare nine different flavors. If Senior Baihu feels that it is not satisfactory, just tell us your requirements and we will start making the soup base right away." Yu Sijin patted his chest and promised.
Yu Sijin was so attentive not only because Jing Ke and Wen Ruyue had solved the evil demon, but also half because Jing Ke gave up his own golden light of merit and saved the souls of many transformed demons, giving them the opportunity to reincarnate.
Among those big monsters that can transform, only about two-thirds have been registered with the Special Management Bureau, and the remaining one-third are basically the spirit beast companions of the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
So in Yu Sijin's view, those spirit beasts are also disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, and some of the spirit beasts with long lifespans are even elders who watched her grow up.
After asking Jing Ke about the little tiger's needs, Yu Sijin rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to work, striving to give her benefactor the best dining experience.
With the attentive Yu Sijin, Wen Ruyue has much less to do. She only needs to feed the little tiger Jing Ke according to her needs.
Yu Sijin didn't find anything wrong with the interaction between Jing Ke and Wen Ruyue at first. After all, when she raised her own little fox, she held it in her arms and fed it.
But as she watched, Yu Sijin tasted a different flavor.
Why did the atmosphere between Senior Baihu and Junior Sister Wen seem like a bubble of dividends? Was it just my imagination?
Yu Sijin counted silently in her heart and found that after the hot pot meal, Senior Baihu and Junior Sister Wen kissed each other on the mouth at least ten times, then she understood.
After watching the well-fed little white tiger fall asleep in Wen Ruyue's arms, Yu Sijin lowered her voice and asked, "Junior Sister Wen, are you and Senior White Tiger together?"
"Well, we've been together for more than half a year." Wen Ruyue smiled and nodded. "Senior Sister Yu, could you please help me check on Jing Ke's condition?"
"Of course, was Senior Baihu injured by the evil demon?" Yu Sijin asked.
"It must be because he used too much spiritual power. His cultivation has regressed to the Golden Core stage and he can only maintain the appearance of a little tiger. For the time being, he can't turn into a human, nor can he become a complete form." Wen Ruyue said truthfully.
Reason told Wen Ruyue that the same golden light of merit that could repair her own body should also be able to repair her little tiger's body. But when it came to the little tiger's safety, it was always right to be more cautious.
"The unfamiliar spiritual power may cause Senior Baihu to be stressed. I'll tell you how to check it. Use your spiritual power to sense Senior Baihu's sea of consciousness, meridians, and the inner elixir of the divine beast." Yu Sijin said.
Since Senior Baihu can sleep in Junior Sister Wen's arms without any defense, theoretically he should not be wary of her spiritual power.
Yu Sijin's guess was correct. The sleeping little tiger did not show any resistance to Wen Ruyue's spiritual power exploration, and even made a slight snoring sound, as if he was enjoying it very much.
Yu Sijin, who had studied some dual cultivation techniques in depth, raised her eyebrows slightly, and an inappropriate idea couldn't help but pop up in her mind.
Since Junior Sister Wen and Senior Baihu are Taoist partners, then Junior Sister Wen’s rapid improvement in cultivation should be related to Senior Baihu, right?
If a transformed spirit beast practices dual cultivation with a human cultivator of low cultivation level, it can improve the cultivation level of the human cultivator.
By the same token, if a divine beast with a high level of cultivation practices dual cultivation with a human cultivator with a lower level of cultivation, the human cultivator's level can also be improved.
I just don't know if there is any special process for the dual cultivation of divine beasts and humans. If it is a soul contract, it should be possible to enter a deeper level of soul fusion, right?
Yu Sijin was distracted for a while, and only focused again after hearing Wen Ruyue's feedback.
"According to the investigation, it seems that the spiritual power was overused, causing the sea of consciousness to temporarily shrink." Yu Sijin quickly gave a conclusion.
"If it's an ordinary spirit beast, damage to its sea of consciousness is an irreversible process. But if it's a divine beast, it will automatically repair itself in a month at the fastest, or three months at the slowest."
Yu Sijin paused for a moment, confirming that Little Tiger was still sound asleep before lowering her voice and saying, "Junior Sister Wen, you and Senior White Tiger signed a soul contract. If you can have spiritual intercourse during rest, theoretically, Senior White Tiger can recover faster."
"Spiritual communication?" Wen Ruyue was stunned for a moment by the unfamiliar term. After seeing Yu Sijin blink at her, she quickly realized the meaning of the two words.
"Well, I understand. Thank you, Senior Sister Yu, for the reminder." Wen Ruyue cleared her throat and said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay. I've had someone clean the yard where you're resting. The internet is fully covered here. If you need anything, just message me directly. I'm online 24 hours a day." Yu Sijin didn't say much. She smiled as if she understood me and left.
-
Half of the evil cultivators in the base camp were killed by the Special Affairs Bureau and disciples of the eight major sects, and the remaining half were ruthlessly devoured by the evil demons as food.
After the war between gods and demons ended, the remaining evil cultivators were basically either extremely greedy for life and afraid of death, or their cultivation attainments were so low that they were not even qualified to be cannon fodder.
Therefore, after completing the battlefield cleanup in half a month, there was no more trouble caused by evil cultivators, and most of the people in the Special Management Bureau were given a short vacation of nearly half a month.
After the holiday, the director of the Special Management Bureau discussed the specific details of the friendly exchange meeting with the leaders of the eight major sects.
"I have no objection. It can be held in November or December." The leader of the Beast Taming Sect was the first to express his opinion.
The Beast Taming Sect does not have too high aspirations for rankings. If Lingxiao Sect can rely on the White Tiger Divine Beast to become number one, the leader of the Beast Taming Sect might be the first to send a gift.
There's no other way. Who told the divine beast White Tiger to stay in the Beast Taming Sect for a while? It helped the Beast Taming Sect so much that even the divine turtle, which was not very willing to cooperate with them before, became much more obedient.
The leader of the Beastmaster Sect values tangible benefits more than being first without any practical benefits.
"I have no objection. We cultivators cannot become lazy just because the evil demon has been destroyed. I think the exchange meeting can be changed from once every five years to once every three years to encourage them to practice well." The head of the Sword Sect, a well-known cultivation fanatic and part-time winner of the last exchange meeting, said.
The leaders of Kunlun Sect, Tianji Pavilion and other sects also expressed their agreement.
As for Master Wen of Lingxiao Sect, he naturally maintained a gentle smile and agreed with the director of the General Administration's proposal.
In this way, after collective discussion and research by the Special Management Bureau and the heads of the eight major sects, the 11th Sect Friendly Exchange Conference is scheduled to start on December 1st and will last for twenty days. As long as the sect is officially registered and the total number of people in the sect is more than ten, they can sign up to participate.
Only the eight major sects have been specially approved by the government to have their own headquarters, but apart from them, the government also allows other sects to exist, but there are no corresponding preferential treatment measures.
Once the news was announced, it quickly became a hot topic in the internal forum, with many people betting on which sect would come out on top in this exchange conference, the Sword Sect or the Lingxiao Sect.
The disciples of the Sword Sect have always been proud of fighting against opponents of higher levels. The cultivators in the early stage of foundation building dare to go on the stage with cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, and can even fight with cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.
Therefore, there are still many cultivators who are optimistic about the Sword Sect. After all, the extra points for the individual competition are also considerable, and the top 50 can get extra points from the sect.
If all ten disciples of the Sword Cultivator made it into the top 20, even if Wen Ruyue won first place in the individual competition, the Sword Clan would still be left far behind by a huge margin.
As for the team competition, even if Wen Ruyue and Baihu could turn the tide, they would only get first place. If all the Sword Sect members were in the top 20 in the individual competition, even if they only took third place in the team competition, their total score would still surpass Lingxiao Sect.
Not to mention that the divine beast White Tiger is still in the recovery stage, and it is said that its cultivation level is only at the Golden Core stage. Isn’t this a godsend opportunity for the Sword Sect!
There are also many cultivators who support Lingxiao Sect to win the championship. They feel that compared to five years ago, there are more cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage in Lingxiao Sect.
Putting aside Wen Ruyue, the undisputed number one, Tang Ming and Zhu Qiuyu have already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building after drinking the nectar.
Gong Zang also broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Qin Guang, who was originally only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, has also reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. If he works harder, he might be able to break through again before the competition.
Moreover, the first disciples of other elders of Lingxiao Pavilion are no pushovers either. Their average cultivation level is above the Foundation Establishment Stage. If the strongest ones are selected to participate in the competition, it is not impossible for all of them to break into the top 50.
[Adding a little gossip, the seven-tailed fox that played a key role in the war between gods and demons has joined the Lingxiao Sect. Lingxiao Sect seems to have gained another great general!]
"Please, do you have any common sense? There's an age limit for the exchange. That seven-tailed fox is almost a thousand-year-old demon, how could he possibly qualify?"
[I know this. The contestant isn't the Seven-Tailed Fox, but its contractor, the superstar Cai Meng! Cai Meng has been accepted as a disciple by the Ninth Elder of Lingxiao Pavilion, and seems to be at the third level of Qi Refining.]
[Ah, when did this happen? How come I haven't heard anything about it? ]
[It happened just over a month ago. After the Great War between Gods and Demons ended, Cai Meng seemed to have gone to get his spiritual roots checked, and eventually joined the Lingxiao Sect.]
[He's already reached the third level of Qi Refining in just over a month. What kind of talent is this? Could it be a combination of top-tier talent and exceptional spiritual power affinity?]
Seeing that the topic turned to himself and Cai Meng, Gu Qi subconsciously touched his nose.
To be honest, my wife’s talent in cultivation is quite average, but she can’t compete with the other party because he has so many fans and has the bonus of faith.
Moreover, his wife gained the luck and merits of her previous life last year, which raised her cultivation talent from only 60 points to 85 points.
In addition, due to his diligent practice of dual cultivation with his wife, her talent of eighty-five was increased by another twelve points, and finally her talent of ninety-seven points was presented.
-
After learning that the exchange meeting would be held in December, Wen Ruyue brought her little tiger back to her sect's headquarters. While raising the little tiger, she practiced with her junior sisters and brothers, guiding them to make further progress.
With Yu Sijin's daily supply of large amounts of high-quality ingredients, even the little tiger who couldn't gain weight had a little more flesh on his body, making it feel better to hold.
As for the little tiger's physical condition, after Wen Ruyue overcame some of the little psychological obstacles and successfully communicated with the little tiger, Jing Ke's recovery progress skyrocketed like a rocket, and he actually recovered in less than two weeks.
But Jing Ke really enjoyed being taken care of and the feeling of Wen Ruyue actively sticking to her, so the little tiger deliberately slowed down the speed of repairing her body, turning the original two weeks into four weeks.
In order to provide a certain warning effect, the venue of the exchange meeting was set in Jian'an City, and a competition venue was built on the ruins of the original war.
Jing Ke originally nestled in the arms of her Taoist partner like a little tiger, but after arriving in Jian'an City, she discovered that her Taoist partner had gained many fanatical admirers who surrounded her and asked for her autograph and photos.
The bravest ones among them even wanted to take the opportunity to touch the little tiger in her arms.
This made the jealous little tiger Jing Ke furious, and he performed a magic trick on the spot.
"The contractor is mine." In front of many people, the angry Jing Ke held the face of his contractor and kissed him, declaring his sovereignty, "We have been Taoist companions for a long time."
But this method did not seem to deter the fanatical fans. Instead, it made them even more excited. Not only did they want to take a photo with Wen Ruyue, they also wanted to get close to Jing Ke, the mythical beast.
In the end, Jing Ke turned into a big tiger. While they were all taking pictures with their mobile phones, he successfully found an opportunity to take Wen Ruyue away.
As for the subsequent high-profile posts on the forum of the internal app, Jing Ke said that out of sight, out of mind, as long as she doesn't see them, she won't be jealous.

Jing Ke, who had recovered his strength, and Wen Ruyue undoubtedly won first place in the singles competition.
Zhu Qiuyu, Tang Ming and Cai Meng also performed very well and made it into the top 20. Together with the efforts of other disciples, the total points of the sect after the individual competition tied with the Sword Sect for first place.
In other words, whoever between Lingxiaomen and Jianzong can win the first place in the team competition will be the first in this friendly exchange meeting.
Although there is one disciple in the Sword Sect who is under fifty years old and is in the Golden Core stage, he is still powerless to fight back against Jing Ke.
In order to make Lingxiaomen's first place more legitimate, Jing Ke spent 90% of the time in the team competition slacking off, only occasionally helping Zhu Qiuyu block one or two moves.
Why didn't he help Wen Ruyue block the attack? Of course, it was because Wen Ruyue was strong enough that she didn't need Jing Ke's help at all, and still defeated the strongest disciple of the opposite Sword Sect.
"I declare that the sect that won first place in total points at the 11th Sect Friendship Exchange Conference is Lingxiao Sect." Apart from delivering the opening speech, the director of the General Administration only made a brief appearance at the final announcement of the rankings, handing the pure gold trophy to Sect Master Wen.
After feeling the heaviness of the trophy, Sect Leader Wen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and with his usual gentle image, he gave a very appropriate acceptance speech.
After many years, my childhood wish finally came true in another way.

So she was allowed to shamelessly round it up, thinking that she had turned the tide and led Lingxiao Sect to become the number one sect in the world.
Master Wen, who was standing on the podium, was smiling happily, and his eyes could not help but fall on his eldest disciple and Jing Ke, the little tiger, who were sitting in the first row of chairs below the stage.
Because Jing Ke didn't want to be separated from Wen Ruyue, she turned into a little tiger. At this moment, she was sitting on her Taoist partner's lap, wagging her tail comfortably.
Wen Ruyue was also very happy to be the little tiger's cushion. While everyone's attention was on her master, she rubbed the little tiger's ears quietly.
After seeing that the relationship between the eldest disciple and the divine beast was as harmonious as ever, Sect Leader Wen's eyes couldn't help but soften.
It’s great that my child has found a very good home and will surely continue to live a happy and fulfilling life in the future.
After he hands over the position of the headmaster to his eldest disciple, Lingxiao Sect might even reach a higher level and become the number one sect in the world for many years in a row.
