Chapter 16.016 The secret realm erupted as described in the book...
As for the geniuses like Ye Qingyu, they only struggled to adapt to these two sets of steps for the first month, but later they fully adapted. However, Qi Zhenmo and Mo Feiyun, who relied on sound cultivation, had a harder time and it took them half a year of trial and error to complete them. After all, they still needed to transform a spiritual root to be suitable for these steps.
But that couldn't deter their spirit of creating difficulties even when none existed. In short, according to Song Chi, the two of them were simply crazy.
Despite their illness, they successfully learned both sets of steps.
The next six months were dedicated to combat skills training. It was essentially just the disciples sparring with each other, which highlighted the importance of having good friends. The disciples mostly practiced moves with their friends, growing together as a team.
Song Chi... she's very solitary. In both her lives, she adopted a lone wolf approach, rarely getting too close to anyone.
Her life has been filled with all sorts of missions and cultivation, so she has even fewer friends.
Qi Zhenmo was a lone wolf, after all, and he had no friends. Song Chi chose to fight him, but this kid's knowledge of sound cultivation was so-so. Every time, she would chase after him and then he would throw out array flags to confront her. The way he used the array flags made even Immortal Master Youqin sigh with doubt, and then she would always secretly cast her gaze towards Qi Zhenmo.
Ye Qingyu and the others were the same, always paying close attention to Qi Zhenmo. It was as if this kid had some kind of hidden, powerful background.
The book didn't mention Qi Zhenmo at all, probably because he wasn't involved in that love-hate drama and therefore wasn't mentioned.
But Song Chi also had a feeling that this kid must be very powerful in the Tianji Sect.
The book mentions a figure with extremely powerful celestial magic arrays. This person is both righteous and evil, and he will jump out from various secret realms to cause trouble. Moreover, he comes and goes like the wind; once he gets what he wants, he lets out a strange laugh and disappears without a trace.
However, this person, who was later confirmed to be from an extremely mysterious, reclusive family of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, was named Xi Caiyu. He was a troublemaker in the early stages, but later developed a relationship with the male protagonist, Su Yu, and it was this young man who helped him open the crucial array mechanism of the Flying Immortal Platform.
Song Chi had not been without suspicion that Qi Zhenmo might be Xi Caiyu.
After all, Qi Zhenmo always gave her a sense of mystery, as if he were a major character.
But of course, it's also possible that they're completely wrong. Qi Zhenmo is Qi Zhenmo, and Xi Caiyu is Xi Caiyu.
Because Qi Zhenmo was clearly skilled in celestial formations, Song Chi felt that having such a friend would definitely save her life if she encountered a formation in a secret realm. Therefore, Qi Zhenmo was indeed the only person she intentionally wanted to cultivate a good relationship with.
But this guy is a rebellious child. Just like her, he's hard to get close to, so their relationship is just so-so at the moment.
However, given their encounter in the secret realm, and based on this small token of their friendship, this kid will probably save her life.
Two years passed quickly, and Song Chi reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, just as he had predicted. At this point, he was considered a strong person in the Qi Refining stage and had a certain combat ability.
As expected, over the next six months, his cultivation progress slowed down at a rate that was more than doubling.
In the best-case scenario, she kept a close eye on the cultivation level of Yin Qiang, the man whose opportunity she was about to steal. This man had become somewhat dissolute after reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining. It was said that whenever he went out on missions, he loved to frequent places of pleasure and was easily tainted by a restless atmosphere.
Therefore, his cultivation has not progressed at all in the past few years, and he is still not at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
This relieved Song Chi.
As for the authenticity of the book and whether the secret realm would explode, which had been a concern for the past two years, signs of things have emerged in the last six months.
Ever since Qiu Ri reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, Mo Shubai began to frequently go out on missions, and You Qin took over his studies.
Furthermore, many of the sect's Golden Core genius disciples began to frequently go out, and later, it was rumored that the sect's Nascent Soul experts also began to frequently enter and leave the sect.
Even many ordinary disciples heard the news of the strange changes in the heavens and earth. Some, with expressions of elation, speculated that the opportunity to ascend to immortality from 100,000 years ago might return to the cultivation world, and various secret realms would emerge on the continent with the surging spiritual energy, plunging the entire cultivation world into a great struggle. This would be an immense opportunity for ordinary disciples like them.
However, some have pointed out that the period from the unusual fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to the frequent occurrence of secret realms during the great age of immortals 100,000 years ago was at least 150 years.
It's too early to talk about such a great era of cultivation. Furthermore, these ordinary disciples lamented being born at the wrong time; their aptitude meant they wouldn't be able to reach Foundation Establishment in 150 years, by which time their lifespans would be over. Ordinary Qi Refining disciples, even those who reach the sixth level of Qi Refining, can barely live for 120 years. Therefore, they all sighed at not being born a hundred years later.
But Song Chi wanted to say: If you were born a hundred years later, it would be too late for everything.
After all, the book mentioned that this disturbance in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely fierce, occurring a hundred times faster than any of the great powers in the entire cultivation world had anticipated. Indeed, it erupted a hundred and fifty years earlier than expected.
In the dead of winter, when snow was falling heavily, a surge of spiritual energy resounded throughout the entire cultivation world near Yuzhu Lake in the southwest.
At that time, the rosy glow of the sunset almost illuminated the snow-covered winter sky shrouded in leaden clouds. The Azure Sword Sect, being only two or three thousand miles away from Jade Bamboo Lake, was considered the closest sect to the lake. Therefore, the magnificent sunset glow enveloped the entire sect in a dazzling light, making everyone's cheeks glow red.
At the time, Song Chi and the others were still in class. Upon hearing the commotion, they disregarded classroom discipline and all the disciples rushed out and flew into the sky.
In reality, the immortal masters had already teleported to even higher places.
"That's a celestial realm!"
As the surging spiritual pressure swept in from south to north, causing everyone to tremble and feel a chill run down their spines amidst the dense spiritual energy, Ye Qingyu and his fellow dragon princes and phoenix grandsons couldn't help but change their expressions and mutter to themselves.
The immortal masters exchanged a startled glance at each other from their high vantage point, then gazed into the distance with a sense of awe and wonder.
Because everyone knows that from this very moment on, a turbulent era is about to begin.
Then, a month later, Mo Shubai returned.
Basically, by this point, the supreme sects of the Eastern Great □□□, namely Lingxu Immortal Sect, Xuantian Sword Sect, Yuxu Holy Sect, and Ziyan Divine Palace, along with the two great dynasties of Nanli Taixuan and Canghai, the immortal cultivation family of Yunji Holy Land Cui family, and the eight ancient cultivation noble families such as Ye Mo family, as well as sects of all sizes, have gathered together and have already set the rules for the next phase of the Immortal Spirit Secret Realm.
The book mentions it briefly. The division of interests, the number of disciples from each sect entering the secret realm, etc., were all clearly defined by these major powers.
Aside from the direct disciples of the Venerable One, the Azure Sword Sect only has two hundred spots for other disciples. If it weren't for the fact that only disciples below the Foundation Establishment level could enter this time, these two hundred spots would likely have sparked a fierce battle among the sect's disciples.
Mo Shubai immediately conveyed the sect's tenets upon arriving at the classroom.
There are approximately 650 inner disciples across two cohorts, plus a few outstanding outer disciples, totaling about 700. They will participate in the sect competition in two months, and the top 200 disciples will qualify to enter the Jade Bamboo Lake Immortal Spirit Realm.
At that moment, I felt a chilling aura emanating from all the disciples in the classroom, and everyone showed a cold and resolute expression.
In fact, the Qingjian Sect is well-managed. Among the inner disciples, apart from a few like Yin Qiang who indulge in pleasure and slightly neglect their cultivation, the rest of the disciples are quite diligent.
It had a very similar feel to those top-tier high schools of later generations, where everyone studied like their lives depended on it. But when an opportunity arose, they would rush forward and seize it fiercely.
After all, only one in ten or twelve would be selected for a cultivation sect after passing the first test; everyone had already witnessed the cruelty of the cultivation world. How could they dare not strive!
Song Chi thought he had prepared for three years and had some confidence, but faced with this grim scene, he began to feel a lot of pressure.
Currently, her cultivation level is actually at the bottom among all the inner disciples. After all, her aptitude is what it is, and once she reaches the sixth level of Qi Refining, no matter how hard she tries, her cultivation progresses as slowly as a snail.
And any disciple with a spiritual root exceeding 85 is basically close to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Genius disciples like Ye Qingyu had already reached the Great Perfection of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining half a year ago. They were just one breath away from Foundation Establishment.
Of course, those with aptitude and spiritual roots below 85, even with Senior Sister Wei Lingyu's hard work, have only just reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, and that's only because she has cultivated for four more years.
Most of the disciples, like Song Chi, were still at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
So there's still a chance to win. She now only hopes that the original owner's lucky streak will also befall her.
"These are the rules for the competition two months from now. Please read them carefully, and feel free to ask questions if you have any questions."
After explaining the Immortal Spirit Realm and the sect competition, Mo Shubai immediately distributed a scroll to each disciple, outlining the competition rules.
Song Chi quickly scanned the contents and breathed a sigh of relief. The rules of the competition were the same as those mentioned in the book.
That proves the book works.
