"Because I put it off?"

Gu Dan was surprised. He thought he had missed the life and death arena, but he never thought he could still postpone it.

But does he have that much energy?

Or in other words, can it be that big?

Making everyone wait for you is very offensive.

Although he has made a name for himself in the world of immortal cultivation, he is still far from being famous. Logically speaking, he does not deserve to be taken so seriously.

"The master came to see you."

Shen Jiangyue added: "Many venerables in the sect suggested that since you can't get away for the time being and it's inconvenient to disturb you, why not just change someone, but the sect master disagrees."

Unless it involves a matter of life and death, the sect leader is capable of making decisions on most matters within the sect.

Since Lu Zhiming does not agree to replace him, he can only wait for Gu Dan to wake up on his own.

If he didn't wake up, we couldn't even gather everyone. Although the human race was full of confidence, many people didn't think that there would be any difference between one more Kong Di or one less Kong Di, but what if? What if they lost because of one less person? No one could bear the responsibility.

However, having said that, the pressure on the Changsheng Sect is probably not small.

After all, his selection for recommendation had already caused quite a stir, and now because he had postponed the life and death competition, his reputation in the world of immortal cultivation might not be very good.

"I didn't expect the Sect Master to think so highly of me."

Gu Dan nodded slightly.

He had only met and talked with the leader of the Changsheng Sect, Lu Zhiming, once. What they discussed was not the real realm, but the matter of self-examination and seeking the truth.

Lu Zhiming was willing to take on a lot of pressure for him, and Gu was quite grateful despite his worry.

"Luckily you're awake now."

Shen Jiangyue also let out a long sigh and said, "If you don't wake up, I'm afraid we won't be able to delay this any longer."

"oh?"

Gu Dan asked: "Are there any other changes?"

"Of course there are. The spiritual energy in the world has become more and more abundant in recent years, and there is even a hint that the first supreme spiritual vein is about to appear in the world.

The supreme spiritual veins are created from the essence of heaven and earth. For cultivators, they are like a blessed land bestowed by heaven. Even the nine great immortal sects are unwilling to let go. Originally, according to the previously discussed rules, the sect disciples’ performance in the life and death arena would determine who would own the supreme spiritual veins in the future.”

Shen Jiangyue said helplessly: "It's just that you haven't woken up yet, but the supreme spiritual vein has already shown signs of appearing in the world. Whether it is born in the land of the human race or the land temporarily occupied by the monster race, if the life and death arena drags on, either we will have another big battle with the monster race, or the immortal sect itself will have to fight."

This is indeed a big deal.

It is true that his enlightenment pushed the life and death arena back, but the contradiction was not resolved, it was just suppressed temporarily.

Originally, all parties had put forward conditions that were acceptable to them, but now the negotiations could not proceed due to his absence, and if they were not careful, the war might break out again.

If something unexpected really happened during the journey, he would become an absolute sinner in the world of immortal cultivation.

"In that case, let's go without further delay."

Gu Dan said seriously.

"You just came out of seclusion. Would you like to take a few days to adjust?"

Shen Jiangyue said hesitantly, "They've waited for three years anyway, so a few days shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"No."

Gu Dan shook his head. "It was not my original intention to let so many people wait for me. It was just a helpless move due to chance. Now that I have awakened, I can't delay any longer. Please tell the sect master that I am ready and can participate in the life and death arena at any time."

After a pause, Gu Dan continued, "Master, please remember to thank the Sect Master for his persistence. I will definitely help the Changsheng Sect win the right to choose the top-grade spiritual vein."

No matter what the Changsheng Sect's leader Lu Zhiming had in mind, the fact that he withstood the pressure from the outside world and did not choose to let others replace Gu Dan was a good thing for Gu Dan.

If someone gives you a peach, you should give him a plum in return.

He also couldn't let down the trust of the sect master and his master.

"good."

Shen Jiangyue nodded, "No problem."

In a hall established by the Changsheng Sect.

The leader of the Changsheng Sect, Lu Zhiming, sat in the first seat, looking at the several venerables who came to pay him a visit.

The leader was Elder Luo Qi of the Tianyan Sect. Not only did he hold a high position of power in the Tianyan Sect, he was also Zhen Chi's master.

It can be said that Zhen Chi’s current success is not only due to the cultivation of Tianyan Sect, but also the strong support of his master.

Before the saplings grow into towering trees, they always need someone to protect them from wind and rain. There is no doubt that Roche did it, and Zhen Chi also announced to the world what Dao Yun Jin Dan is with his invincible record.

However, at this moment in the main hall of the Changsheng Sect, Elder Luo Qi’s face looked very ugly.

"Meet the leader of the Changsheng Sect."

Luo Qi bowed slightly. They were all Nascent Soul masters. Apart from the difference in identity and status, the difference in strength was not that big, so there was no need to be servile.

"I have heard of Elder Luo's great name for a long time. What brings you to my Changsheng Sect today?"

Lu Zhiming sat upright in the main seat, elegant and calm, as if he didn't notice the dark face.

"Let's not beat around the bush. May I ask what exactly the Changsheng Sect leader means?"

Luo Qi had a hot temper and was too lazy to hide the truth here, so he said immediately: "The nine major immortal sects had already nominated their own candidates three years ago, and even the other quota for other sects had already been chosen.

But the Changsheng Sect used the excuse that the disciples were enlightened to force the matter of the life and death arena to be delayed again and again! From one month to half a year, from half a year to a year. Day after day, it has been three years! "

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. The more Roche spoke, the angrier he became.

If you say that your disciples are attaining enlightenment, then of course everyone can wait for a while.

After all, enlightenment is definitely the most important event in a cultivator's life, and there are even many who are reborn through it.

The problem is that you have been using this excuse for three years. Are you kidding me? Although enlightenment is difficult, there are traces to follow.

The vast majority of cultivators do not have enough accumulation of their own knowledge, and even if they get enlightenment by chance it is often only a matter of a split second, which does not waste much time at all.

For some people who have reached a high level and have experienced many hardships, it will take them a little longer to attain enlightenment. However, no matter how long it takes, ten days or half a month can be considered a natural talent.

The most famous legend of enlightenment in the world of immortal cultivation throughout history is that someone attained enlightenment after half a year and became a god on the same day.

At most, the limit is only half a year.

What happens next? Is it enlightenment or transformation?

Originally, everyone was in the mood to watch the show, wanting to see what tricks the Changsheng Sect was going to come up with.

As a result, the wait lasted three years.

Delay, just delay, right? Although the rules set by the nine major immortal sects are indeed disadvantageous to the Changsheng Sect, delaying it like this is really shameless.

Three to five years may be a long time for cultivators who are practicing Qi or building foundation, and they may be able to cross a major realm and achieve a qualitative leap. But what use is it for a Jindan cultivator?

Everyone in the entire cultivation world knows that Kong Zhai has just been promoted to the Golden Elixir stage. How much stronger can you become if you delay for another three years?

It would take at least several decades to learn any magical power, no matter how fast one practices it. Could it be that the Changsheng Sect really wants to drag it out for several more decades, waiting for Kong Zhai to master a magical power before coming out?

They can wait, but Yuan Tianjie can't! How can we let a small rat shit spoil the whole pot of porridge?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Lord Luo, please don't speak nonsense."

Lu Zhiming waved his hand and said, "It's a great thing that my Changsheng Sect's disciples have realized the truth. As the Sect Master, I have to support them. If I don't even trust my own disciples, how can there be any more talented people who will choose Changsheng Sect?"

"ha--"

Luo Qi was really amused. "According to what you said, Kong Zhai really has been enlightened for three years, right? He is still enlightened now, right? Then what realm did he reach, the Divine Transformation Heavenly Sovereign?"

"Things like enlightenment are so mysterious that no one can explain them for sure."

Of course Lu Zhiming would not nod. He didn't mind that the life and death arena would be held later. Anyway, he didn't think that the Changsheng Sect could get a good ranking, so he just had to wait.

As for substitutions?

Changsheng Sect had been tricked, and now they wanted him to change people? Dream on! Anyway, Kong Zhai had been scolded for what he deserved, and whether he accepted it or not, at least a consensus had been reached.

If Kong Zhai is replaced at this time, Changsheng Sect will probably be criticized again. The key point is that even if Lou Yan is put in, Lu Zhiming doesn't think it will succeed.

It is true that you have achieved some success in supernatural powers, but the life-and-death arena is not a competition between sects. There is no such thing as gradual progress. Others will not wait for you to get ready and successfully display your supernatural powers before fighting.

It's just like that anyway. The Changsheng Sect is not made of clay. It's not someone else's turn to point fingers. Just wait!

"cough."

Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, the Tianji Sect's venerable who came with Luo Qi finally spoke up: "This is a matter concerning the human race, please do not bring in too many personal emotions.

However, there is one thing I need to tell Master Lu. This time, the life and death competition cannot be delayed any further. According to my calculations, the top-grade spiritual vein is about to appear, and it is very likely to appear in the Qingzhou area occupied by the dragon clan!

For us, the ultimate spiritual vein cannot be lost, and the same is true for the demons. The life and death competition has not yet begun, and the ultimate spiritual vein will appear. At that time, even if the demons lose the life and death competition, what will happen if they cheat and move the ultimate spiritual vein away? After all, the war has stopped now, and the land of Qingzhou has also been occupied by the demons.

Unless you want to start another war, I hope that Sect Master Lu will make the decision as soon as possible. Whether it is to wake up Kong Zhai or to select another genius from the Changsheng Sect, both are solutions.

The Changsheng Sect is well-known in the world, and has countless talented disciples. It is not impossible that there will be no one to fight without Kong Zhai. What do you think?"

The Tianji Sect's Venerable spoke much more pleasantly than Luo Qi. Even though he was urging them as well, he talked about the overall situation and even slowed down his tone a little. He told everyone to take a step back. The worst that could happen was that the Changsheng Sect could just replace someone else!

It can't be that this matter can't be accomplished just because of Kong Zhai, right? The world of immortal cultivation will continue to turn without anyone, and a young golden elixir is not enough to affect the overall situation. If Lu Zhiming had no anger in his heart, he would not have dragged it out for so long.

"That is indeed a problem."

Lu Zhiming nodded slightly and did not deny it.

If before the life and death competition, a supreme spiritual vein was born in Qingzhou, which was occupied by the dragon clan, then even if the human race won, the dragon clan would probably find a way to move the supreme spiritual vein away, or even destroy it directly if they couldn't get it.

The Tianji Sect is best at deducing the secrets of heaven. Since they sent a Yuanying Venerable here to warn people, it must be a sign.

But he was not deliberately delaying. Although he felt quite happy seeing these people getting anxious, he never thought of denying what he had promised before.

"Little guy, if you don't wake up, I can't wait for you any longer."

Lu Zhiming seemed to be in deep thought, and after a moment he said, "I still need to go back and discuss this issue with the elders of the sect. So, you guys wait a little longer, at most in no more than a year, the Changsheng Sect will definitely go to war, how do you think?"

"Still dragging it out, huh?"

Roach's eyes opened wide and glared.

What he said sounded better than singing. I'm afraid he couldn't bear to see his disciple's glory. He wanted to overturn the plate when he didn't have an advantage! "Lord Luo, watch your attitude when you speak. It's not your turn to teach us how to do things in Changsheng Sect."

Lu Zhiming glanced away coldly.

Is it so great to have an invincible disciple with a golden elixir?

If he is really capable, you can let him advance to the Nascent Soul stage and see! In the end, the venerable of the Tianji Sect stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "One year is not a big problem. But this is really the last year, and we can't wait any longer. I believe that Sect Master Lu will not fail to distinguish right from wrong. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."

"good."

Lu Zhiming nodded slightly, "That's it."

Before he could finish his words, a peculiar wave emanated from the storage bag.

After a quick glance of his divine sense, Lu Zhiming couldn't help but smile a little more, and immediately changed his words and said, "No need."

"Um?"

The two venerables who were about to leave stopped again and looked back without knowing what was going on. They wondered what Lu Zhiming was up to. Could it be that he was going to change his mind before they even left the hall? This was not the way to play with people! "The candidate recommended by the Changsheng Sect has awakened. He said that he is ready to fight on behalf of the Changsheng Sect at any time."

Lu Zhiming smiled and said, "There is no problem with the Changsheng Sect. Please go back and ask your family members if there is any need to wait any longer."

Luo Qi was startled, then said ecstatically: "No! In this case, the life and death arena should be held as soon as possible. I will report to the sect master and make arrangements as soon as possible!"

The Tianji Sect's Venerable also nodded slightly and said, "That would be the best. I would like the Sect Masters to set a specific date so that we can inform the human race's immortal cultivation world of this news."

In the world of immortal cultivation, news always spreads quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the news that this long-awaited and long-planned life and death competition was about to begin had already appeared in the discussions of many cultivators.

The nine great immortal sects, including the Changsheng Sect which had been dragging its feet, did not change the candidates they recommended in the slightest.

The 'legend' Kong Zhai, who had been seeking enlightenment for three years, finally woke up!

The geniuses recommended by each sect will also gather together today to represent the human race in the life and death arena! (End of this chapter)
