Kong Zhai, this name is not unfamiliar to Luo Qingyin.
She had talked to him once before.
However, Kong Zhai seemed to be on guard against her, and they only exchanged a few simple words.
At that time, Kong Zhai had just been promoted to the late stage of foundation building.
After that, the two had no interactions. That is, when they were ambushing the Dragon King, Kong Zhai intervened by chance, and with his foundation-building strength, he defeated the Dragon King and rescued Wang Qianjun.
Building a foundation and defeating the Dragon King can indeed be said to have great potential. Even among the nine major immortal sects, it is something that only the core disciples can accomplish.
But it depends on who you are comparing yourself with, right? Prodigies of her and Ying Yaoyao's level have already begun to seek to condense the Infant Soul. Although Kong Zhai's performance is good, he still has a long way to go to reach their level.
If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any more intersections.
But I didn’t expect that the candidate recommended by the Changsheng Sect would be Kong Zhai.
"Four years ago, Kong Zhai was only at the late stage of foundation building. Even if he has been promoted to the golden elixir stage now, how could he be the strongest person in the Changsheng Sect's golden elixir realm?"
Xiao Qing frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, I think the Changsheng Sect clearly thinks that they will definitely win the life and death competition, so they just randomly sent someone!"
It’s not that she has any ill feelings towards Kong Zhai, it’s just because the young lady is going to fight on behalf of the Hehuan Sect!
Each of the nine major immortal sects has one nomination quota, plus a genius selected from other sects, who will eventually become "teammates" and represent the strongest level of the human race in the Golden Core Realm.
And he is Miss's teammate.
If the candidate sent by the Changsheng Sect is of poor quality, it means that others will have to put in more effort.
Although the Changsheng Sect itself was not outstanding in fighting, her dissatisfaction with their slacking attitude still made her feel a little dissatisfied.
The life and death arena is not like Tian Ji's horse racing. The winner doesn't even have to leave.
Either die or surrender, the battle is over until the last person is standing.
The Changsheng Sect sending someone here to make up the numbers will undoubtedly add to the burden on the others - the lady has to go on stage too!
Xiao Qing waved her fist indignantly, speaking up for Luo Qingyin, and said, "If everyone is like the Changsheng Sect, what's the point of fighting in the life and death arena?"
"ha."
Luo Qingyin laughed softly and said, "Not really. The person from Tianyan Sect must be a formation maniac. That guy really has no rivals in the Jindan realm. He is a formation master himself, so he consumes very little spiritual energy. There will be no problem fighting a few more rounds."
“I’m afraid everyone thinks so.”
Xiao Qing held a different opinion, "The demons are not fools. Since they dare to take the initiative to propose the life and death arena as a solution, what if they have some way to deal with the formation maniac?"
“It is indeed possible.”
Luo Qingyin nodded slightly and did not deny it. "But any method will ultimately depend on strength. If you can target Zhen Chi, you can target others. Unfounded speculation will not help. In the end, we have to fight back when the enemy comes and block the water with earth."
After a pause, Luo Qingyin asked, "Is this the first time that Changsheng Sect has reported this?"
Xiaoqing said, "Yes."
"This is probably what the Changsheng Sect meant. Anyway, they have already decided on the candidate, and they will not change it after notifying them. Just squeeze one in first to take up the position, and save others from copying them."
Luo Qingyin had already put on her clothes, and her face, which could be called perfect under the holy light, showed no joy or anger.
"Humph, the Changsheng Sect has bad intentions! The same goes for Kong Zhai. What level is he? He can actually participate in the life and death competition with the young lady, and we can't let him take away the title of a human hero?"
Xiaoqing became angrier as she spoke.
It's so abominable. These people with connections are so shameless. They want to interfere in everything. The life and death arena is so disgusting. They really have no shame!
"The nine great immortal sects are not monolithic. Generally speaking, they will still put the interests of the human race first, but they are bound to have their own little thoughts."
Luo Qingyin was not surprised. She had long thought that someone might take advantage of the opportunity to "fleece" the human race, but she did not expect that person to be Kong Zhai.
Who let the human race have a rare Dao Yun Jindan, which can be called the invincible Zhen Chi Jindan? Everyone wants to take a ride.
But thinking back to the conversation with Kong Zhai, that man did not look like a snob, and he even called himself a mountain immortal. Now it seems that his disguise was indeed good.
"Miss, why don't you scold him? Kong Zhai will definitely have to hide behind you when the time comes!"
Xiaoqing gritted her teeth, feeling unfair for the young lady.
"Nothing."
Luo Qingyin smiled.
In life, few people can do things entirely according to their own wishes.
Even the Saint of Hehuan had many constraints, and sometimes she had to give herself up.
The better she performs, the more choices she will have, but in the end she still has to choose one.
She couldn't even break her own cage, so how could those unspoken rules be changed by just a few insults?
But this kind of behavior is ultimately unpleasant.
"Xiaoqing."
After thinking for a while, Luo Qingyin said: "I would like to announce that the candidate recommended by the Hehuan Sect is me."
Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then she understood, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly. The young lady is indeed a young lady! She is indeed more resourceful than her.
"Okay, I will definitely let more people know this news!"
Dingwei City.
Now, some time has passed since the Dragon King appeared in front of the city, and the demon clan killing order has finally come to an end.
But this is not the end.
The news about the life and death battle between humans and demons has already spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation.
The alliance of immortal sects will select ten strongest golden elixir masters representing the human race to fight in the arena of life and death!
The final winner will accomplish the feat that the killing order has failed to accomplish in four years, and directly eliminate two demon clan positions, leaving only Liangzhou, which is the smallest in scale and scope.
Although some of the more radical young monks are still dissatisfied with the inability to completely wipe out the demon clan, many older monks who have seen many storms have long been accustomed to it.
If we really go to war with the demon clan over a source heaven realm that will cease to exist in a hundred years, it would be a loss instead of gain.
What's more, those low-level monks who really dare to fight and have not died in the bloody battles in the past few years have already made a lot of money.
Not to mention anything else, just the skills, elixirs, secret techniques that can be exchanged for contribution points, and even personal guidance from cultivators of higher levels, etc., are things that you might not have been able to obtain in the past even if you begged for help.
Now, as long as the contribution is sufficient, anyone can be selected! Not to mention the cultivators who have demonstrated their strength in the fighting during these years and have been valued by the big sects, it is simply killing two birds with one stone.
In the past few years, the spiritual energy in Yuantian Realm has become increasingly abundant, and even high-quality spiritual veins have begun to emerge. Some large sects have already set up stations. Now, no matter how remote the place is, there will be a situation where there is no shortage of spiritual energy.
Even if there is no spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy in the mortal world is enough for people to practice to the initial stage of foundation building.
All that is left is for the supreme spiritual vein to appear in the world, bringing a real 'wave of spiritual energy' to the source heaven, so that all things can flourish and the golden age will come! No matter how you look at it, it is a state of vitality and everything is competing.
Of course, the annoying demons must also be severely beaten. Even if we cannot completely wipe out the demons, we must severely strike a blow to the demons' arrogance and enhance the power of the human race!
Therefore, although large-scale fighting has stopped on the front line and there will be no contribution from continuing to kill monsters, there are still many cultivators gathered here.
This place has long become a veritable city of cultivators. The spirit stones, monster corpses, spiritual materials and contribution points earned must eventually be taken to the city for expenditure.
Disciples from all major sects can be seen here, and they are extremely well-informed.
However, the list of geniuses erected in the city has not been taken down, and the final top 100 geniuses have already been determined.
It was no surprise that the number one on the Tianjiao List was the Formation Maniac from the Tianyan Sect.
The second and third place were Saint Tianji Ying Yaoyao and Saint Hehuan Luo Qingyin.
As the monsters who teamed up to ambush and kill the Dragon Emperor, it is not surprising that the three of them occupy the top three on the Tianjiao List.
But many people felt unhappy and hated Wang Qianjun after seeing him ranked fourth.
Wang Qianjun’s strength was indeed not bad, but the fourth place on the Tianjiao List was undoubtedly still too high.
But who allowed him to take advantage of the situation?
In addition, he had been fighting on the front lines, and the contribution reward as the 'Dragon King Bait' helped him a lot. In the end, he was second only to the other three.
On the contrary, another person who was once "famous", Kong Zhai, completely fell out of the top 100 of the Tianjiao list and disappeared without a trace.
It seemed like no one had seen him for three whole years. His contribution was surpassed by others every day, and finally his name disappeared from the public eye.
There are many people working hard in the world of cultivating immortals. If you don't make progress, there are many people who want to make progress! Some people even have conspiracy theories saying that the demon race was angry about the death of a dragon emperor, and they didn't dare to vent their anger on Zhen Chi and others, so they secretly sent the dragon emperor to the human race to kill Kong Zhai to vent their anger. This is the reason why Kong Zhai disappeared completely without a sound.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Anyway, it has been so long, Kong Zhai, who was famous a few years ago, has long since fallen into obscurity. There is no shortage of topics to talk about in the world of immortal cultivation, so what does a short period of glory count for? To be able to make people submit to him like Zhen Chi is truly amazing.
Everyone has a glorious moment, but don’t take it as forever!
However, just when Kong Zhai's name had been silent for a long time, someone in Dingwei City suddenly began to mention this name again.
And soon, the name Kong Zhai spread throughout Dingwei City.
"The candidate recommended by Changsheng Sect, Kong Zhai?!"
"Which Kong Zhai? It can't be the one I know?"
"This name doesn't sound like a common one. Why haven't I heard of a genius named Kong Zhai in the Changsheng Sect before?"
The geniuses of the nine immortal sects are no ordinary people. It is impossible that those who are truly powerful are unknown. There is no need to hide them. If they really have the ability, they should come out and fight others instead of raising a wax head with a silver spear.
The potential represented by the genius itself, not some trump card, is not something that can be used to reverse the situation of the battle at the last moment. Any sect that was thinking of secretly amazed everyone would have been eliminated long ago.
"The candidate recommended by the Hehuan Sect has also been announced, and it is the Hehuan Saintess Luo Qingyin."
Some people discussed this news, but everyone took it for granted and there was not much discussion about it.
Then more news came.
"Tianyan Sect sent Zhen Chi! As expected, if Zhen Chi doesn't go, the winning rate of this life and death arena will drop by 30% in one go."
"The Tianji Sect has also come out, and the Tianji Saint has accepted the invitation!"
“And Buddhism.”
As if it was something they had discussed beforehand, the nine major immortal sects announced their own candidates one after another not long after each other.
Each of them is a well-known figure with a great reputation in the world of immortal cultivation. When it comes to names, each of them can be regarded as the pillars within the nine major immortal sects.
He was only one step away from the final Nascent Soul Condensation, one step away from escaping the cage of "Tian Jiao" and becoming the ruling level of the Nine Immortal Sects, the Nascent Soul Venerable! However, there was only one out-of-place Kong Di among them, who was worth pondering.
It didn't take long before someone got the exact news.
The Kong Zhai nominated by the Changsheng Sect is the Kong Zhai they know!
Kong Zhai was still at the foundation-building stage four years ago!
"Fuck you, what is Changsheng Sect thinking? They chose Kong Zhai to represent the human race in the life and death arena? They really don't have any shame, do they?"
"All the Jindan of Changsheng Sect have died? So we have no choice but to choose Kong Zhai?"
"How disgusting! I said that Kong Zhai was just a foundation-building cultivator, how could he possibly participate in the hunt to kill the Dragon Emperor? It turns out he's waiting here! Whose illegitimate son of a big shot in the Changsheng Sect is Kong Zhai? How dare he take advantage of him?"
There has never been a shortage of arrogant people in the world of cultivating immortals. Wang Qianjun is a typical example, and there are countless similar ones.
Even among the nine high and mighty immortal sects, there are always people who open their mouths to criticize when they want to, and most of these cultivators are young.
"Heh, we fought a bloody battle with the demons on the front line, forcing them to give in and put forward a life-and-death contest. But some people wanted to take shortcuts. This is tarnishing the human heroes who died on the front line. I'll be the first one to disagree!"
"Yes, I don't agree either! Change people, we must change people. What kind of rubbish is Kong Zhai? Is he worthy of being on the same stage with Zhen Chi and the others?"
"That Kong Zhai is not completely useless. Didn't he kill a dragon king when he was building his foundation? But other cultivators have done the same in recent years. Why did the Changsheng Sect, who are so 'smart', think of sending Kong Zhai to fight? Are the other immortal sects blind and unable to recognize a hero?"
There are also some people who don't curse openly, but are very sarcastic in secret, and you can tell something is wrong with a little thought.
Similar things happened in many places.
Countless monks, mainly young monks, who heard about this incident, were outraged and began to criticize and curse Kong Zhai. In the blink of an eye, Kong Zhai had become a scum of the human race.
Of course, the Changsheng Sect will not get any good results either, it is still a stinky jar.
Seeing that the situation was not right, a cultivator from the Changsheng Sect had already reported back the news.
A Yuanying Venerable from the Changsheng Sect immediately stepped forward and told them that the Changsheng Sect's selection was absolutely fair and just, without the slightest bit of selfishness. Kong Zhai was indeed the Jindan prodigy of the Changsheng Sect who would have the last laugh, and choosing him was reasonable both in terms of strength and fairness.
But it would be better if you didn't say this, because once you say it, it will just add fuel to the fire.
On that day, more than one shop opened by the Changsheng Sect was smashed by excited monks.
Things were fermenting at a speed almost like wildfire, and the reputation of the Changsheng Sect was also greatly damaged. The speed of the spread was completely beyond the Changsheng Sect's expectations!
Even the Changsheng Sect itself did not expect that nominating a genius would tarnish a large part of its reputation.
If there is no one secretly pushing this, the three words "Changsheng Sect" would be written upside down!
"Your Excellency, what should we do now? How about we change the candidate?"
In a large hall, a cultivator from the Changsheng Sect asked very carefully, with blood stains on his body.
It was true that the Changsheng Sect's shops were smashed by angry monks, but they did not dare to directly kill those monks who broke into the shops and caused damage, so as to avoid further escalation of the situation.
As a truly old sect in the world of immortal cultivation and one of the nine great immortal sects, the Changsheng Sect certainly has ways to deal with those cultivators. It is just a simple matter to kill them.
But the problem is that there must be a reason for this. If it is really solved in this way, the reputation of the Changsheng Sect will be greatly damaged.
In comparison, a few shops can be ignored.
Venerable Xu's face turned blue and then white.
Although he had thought that this matter would cause some waves, he did not expect it to be so radical!
This is definitely not a normal reaction.
Someone is secretly targeting the Changsheng Sect!
But the problem is that Changsheng Sect never shielded or condoned Kong Zhai. He fought with real talent. If they replace him now, wouldn't it be like yellow mud falling into the crotch? It's a dilemma!
"I"
Just as Venerable Xu was about to speak, the communication talisman began to flash. There was a special fluctuation in the red light, which meant a serious and urgent matter.
At that moment, Venerable Xu took out the communication talisman, swept his mind around, his face turned dark, and he slapped the table in front of him. The table was turned into powder, and even large areas of spider-web-like patterns spread out under his feet.
Angry voices echoed in the hall! "Okay, okay, Tian Yan Zong! OK, you can do it!!! So you are waiting for us here!" (End of this chapter)
