Chapter 199: A battle of words at a gathering of heroes, an undercurrent hidden in the calm
Outskirts of Zuiyun Sea, floating islands.
Although it is just an island group, the overall area of the floating island group is actually about the same as a small continent.
It is a special place suspended above the sea of clouds.
The True Immortal Trial of Gu Yue Zhenxian is only opened once every hundred years.
But this does not mean that the only valuable thing in Zuiyun Sea is the Guyue Cave.
You should know that due to the existence of the Ancient Moon Cave, there are many rare treasures in the Zuiyun Sea that are hard to find in Zhongzhou.
Some people even say that in addition to the Guyue Cave in Zuiyun Sea, there are also many immortal inheritances in other places.
After all, Gu Yue Zhenxian had a wide range of friends, and his "wine cellar" in the mortal world had attracted many immortal friends.
Although there are very few immortals descending to the earth nowadays.
But in ancient times, the boundary between the mortal world and the fairy world was not so clear.
Many immortals still occasionally walk around in the mortal world.
And the things that these immortals casually throw away, or the traces they leave in the mortal world on a whim, may bring about a complete transformation to an ordinary mortal cultivator.
Therefore, Zuiyunhai attracted countless monks to come here for training.
The floating island group is the first stop outside Zuiyun Overseas and is also a very valuable transit station for cultivators.
Naturally, it gradually flourished.
It is certainly not an easy task to establish order in such a mixed place.
After all, among the cultivators who want to enter Zuiyun Sea, there are many disciples from major sects in Zhongzhou.
These disciples are generally arrogant and seldom take people from outside Zhongzhou seriously.
Although Zuiyunhai is still within the scope of Zhongzhou from a geographical point of view.
But after passing through the Drunken Cloud Sea, you will reach the Southern Shenzhou Continent.
Therefore, in the eyes of some Zhongzhou cultivators, Zuiyun Sea is actually not much different from the wilderness.
I really look down on the islanders here.
This was indeed the case with the monks who came to the floating islands in the early years. They simply did not take the people of the floating islands who had lived here for generations seriously and drove them around at will.
But slowly, with the emergence of the Ancient Moon Cave and the increasing contact between the floating islands and the outside world.
As a result, many Zhongzhou sects also took a fancy to this once barbaric land.
Among the major forces in the floating island group today, there are all major sects in Zhongzhou.
In fact, it is not just the floating islands. Similar situations also exist around many special paradises in Zhongzhou.
After all, although Zhongzhou is big, there are not many good things that can be favored by the top forces.
Naturally, we have to race to grab land and occupy some good locations in advance.
The Qingyun Sect naturally also has a supporting force on the floating islands, which is the Fukong Li family.
It is one of the four major families on the floating islands.
Of course, there are more than just these four families on the entire floating island group.
It just means that these four families occupy the four largest islands in the center of the floating island group.
There are dozens of small islands of various sizes around these four islands.
There are also some immortal cultivation families or forces on these small islands.
Whenever the True Immortal Trial is about to begin, it is the busiest day on the entire floating island.
Because on this day, the entire floating island will be filled with cultivators from all over the world.
As long as these monks can be entertained well, the floating island will gain considerable benefits.
Therefore, everyone on the floating island attached great importance to the year when the True Immortal Trial was launched.
The floating island force supported by Wushen Mountain, Kongwumen.
At this time, Kongwu Sect was still bustling, with Wushen Mountain's 'Eight Extremes Immortal Boat' hovering next to the Kongwu Sect's main gate.
Some monks who had just joined the Kongwu Sect were amazed when they saw this scene.
After all, they are all monks who have only entered the sect in recent decades.
Although fairy boats could often be seen traveling back and forth between floating islands before.
But there are not many such "large fairy boats" that are similar to war castles.
It can even be said that this is the first time I have encountered it.
However, compared to the Immortal Boat, what the Kongwu Sect monks were more concerned about at this moment was actually the cocktail party being held on the Immortal Boat, called the Heroes Gathering.
On the Wushen Mountain Immortal Boat, the boat is currently being used as a gathering place for cultivators. Anyone who meets the requirements can enter.
However, this condition is meaningless for the big sects.
Generally, as long as they see the Taoist robes of the sect on the other person, they will let him go without stopping him.
However, for some independent practitioners and small sects, it is not so easy to enter this cocktail party.
This is true even for affiliated forces of Wushen Mountain such as Kongwumen.
First of all, this gathering of heroes is set up for the cultivators who are preparing to participate in the True Immortal Trial this time.
Therefore, the conditions for entering the cocktail party are similar to those for entering the True Immortal Trial.
One is under fifty years old, and the other has a cultivation level below the Golden Core Stage.
Generally speaking, if one can complete the foundation-building stage before the age of fifty, he or she is considered to have good talent.
Of course, cultivation and age alone are not enough.
The biggest limitation of this cocktail party is actually the quality of the foundation.
Only those cultivators who have established a foundation in the sixth-grade underground tunnel or above are qualified to enter.
This is extremely harsh for most independent practitioners.
After all, most of the independent practitioners need to try their best just to practice, and they don’t have any guidance from masters, and they lack the skills that suit them.
As a result, the quality of their foundation is often not very high.
However, many of the independent cultivators who are able to achieve authentic quality or above are not up to the age requirement.
Therefore, although independent cultivators are allowed to enter the annual gathering of heroes, the largest number of people here are not independent cultivators, but rather geniuses from small sects who want to establish relationships with the larger sects.
Inside the immortal boat, Wu Shenshan’s team was led this time by their generation’s eldest brother, Wei Qifeng, a true disciple.
Wei Qifeng looked at the geniuses from various sects who had gathered on the immortal boat.
Suddenly, I felt like I had become the greatest young genius of our time.
But this feeling comes and goes quickly.
After a brief trance, he came to his senses.
After all, the Gathering of Heroes may seem to be organized by them, but in essence they are just providing a venue.
There is no distinction between those who are willing to participate in this gathering of heroes.
But this equality of high and low only applies to the ten major sects in Zhongzhou.
The status of disciples outside the ten major sects is relatively lower.
After that are the small sects that are not from Zhongzhou, and finally the individual cultivators.
Therefore, the entire venue was almost divided into four areas.
Among them, the disciples from the ten major sects had the least number of people present but occupied the largest area.
In the core area of the fairy boat deck, Wushenshan’s wine table was placed in the first place.
The remaining ten sects were arranged in order.
They are Qingyun Sect, Yuxu Mountain, Xiaoleiyin, Canghuo Valley, Mingyue Tower, Fangcaozhai, Donghai Gate, Bailian Sect, and Lingyin Valley.
As the leader of the righteous sect, Qingyun Sect had the least number of people coming this time, with only three people in total.
One of them is not a human, but a spirit beast.
This is not because Qingyun Sect does not like socializing, but because the previous gatherings of heroes were full of malice towards Qingyun Sect.
It seems that they feel that Qingyun Sect has been the number one sect in Zhongzhou for too long.
Or maybe they felt that the Qingyun Sect cultivators were a huge obstacle for everyone in the True Immortal Trial.
Therefore, every time there is a gathering of heroes, many people will come to challenge the disciples of Qingyun Sect.
Some of these people are disciples from the other ten major sects.
Some are small sects.
Others are simply independent practitioners who want to become famous overnight.
After all, there is no better way for a casual cultivator to become famous than defeating a disciple of Qingyun Sect.
If other sects were faced with this situation, they would either simply refuse or be more ruthless and directly put an end to these guys' temptations so that they would not bother them.
However, due to the teachings of the Qingyun Sect, they are generally relatively restrained when it comes to matters that are not about the struggle between good and evil.
Therefore, even if they feel it is troublesome, they generally will not go too far and will basically stop at the appropriate time.
But in this way, those who want to step on the Qingyun Sect to gain power will become even more unscrupulous.
After all, this is a risk-free, high-return business.
Everyone would want to come up and give it a try.
The other ten great disciples also wanted to take this opportunity to find out the situation of this generation of Qingyun Sect disciples.
So I am happy to see this happen.
Therefore, there was no thought of stopping it at all.
So, after a few boring experiences.
The Qingyun Sect generally does not recommend that later disciples participate in any gathering of heroes.
This resulted in no one from the Qingyun Sect coming to this gathering of heroes for two consecutive times.
But this time was different. After Yuxushan's persuasion, a few cultivators from Qingyun Sect actually came.
Although there aren't many people, it's still a good sign.
"Junior Brother Lu, what's the point of coming to such a boring place? Look at these guys around you. Don't be fooled by their pretense now. Once they enter the True Immortal Trial, I guarantee that each one will be more eager than the other to eliminate us first."
"Compared to that, the guys in Yuxu Mountain are much more pleasing to the eye. After all, they believe in 'keeping one's true nature intact and not burdening one's form with external things' and never play tricks. If they don't like you, they'll beat you up."
"If you ask me, there's nothing to say to these guys. We'll just have to show our true colors in the True Immortal Trial."
King Meow sat next to Lu Chen and spoke frankly.
It did not conceal its own voice at all, and the other monks nearby heard everything.
In response to this, some disciples from other sects nearby frowned, some had no expression on their faces, and some simply looked at King Meow with murderous eyes.
It seemed that he thought this guy was too arrogant and really thought that Qingyun Sect was the best in the world.
In this regard, neither Lu Chen, who was beside King Meow, nor Yi Hanqing, who was beside him, said much.
It seemed that he agreed with King Meow's words.
After all, they noticed when they came in that the atmosphere of this gathering of heroes seemed a little off.
In theory, the positions in the gathering of heroes are arranged equally.
But for some reason, Wushenshan vaguely put himself in the first place.
This is undoubtedly a very bad signal.
After all, we are not fools. Isn't Niwushen Mountain telling everyone clearly that you want to challenge the position of the number one sect in Zhongzhou?
Therefore, after arriving at the cocktail party, the disciples from other sects all acted as if they were looking forward to a good show.
This is also the reason why King Meow was a little unhappy.
No wonder Wushen Mountain insisted that their Qingyun Sect send people over. It seems that these guys were well prepared.
Just waiting to show his talents at this gathering of heroes.
But where do these guys get the confidence to stay in the top position?
Could it be that some terrifying monster has appeared among the true disciples of their generation?
There is no reason. If such a person really appeared, they should not have heard any news at all.
It was precisely because of such doubts that King Meow chose to take the initiative.
drink wine?
They didn't come to the Heroes' Gathering to drink! The people around them were obviously trying to cause trouble, so there was no need for them to indulge these guys.
As for the provocation of King Wu Miao, Wei Qifeng, the senior brother of Wushen Mountain who was sitting in the front row, said with a smile: "It seems that Daoist Brother Wu Miao of Qingyun Sect has a big misunderstanding about us."
"Misunderstand?"
King Wu Miao stood up, crossed his arms, raised his chin and said, "I misunderstood you, you bastard. What do you mean by deliberately placing us below you? Do you think you, the reckless men of Wushen Mountain, can trample on our Qingyun Sect?"
"Come on, come on, explain to me what misunderstanding is."
"You do these little things every day, can't you just focus on your cultivation?"
Seeing that King Meow was so disrespectful to him, the corners of Wei Qifeng's mouth twitched slightly.
You have to know that Qingyun Sect is the leader of the righteous sect in Zhongzhou. No matter what the personalities of its disciples are, they will still consider the demeanor of an immortal sect in public. They will not be as vulgar as King Wumiao, who always speaks sweet words.
Perhaps because he was so angry at being scolded by King Wu Miao, a Wushen Mountain disciple stood up and said to King Wu Miao with a cold face: "Is this how you Qingyun Sect teaches your disciples to insult other sects at will?"
King Meow picked up the toothpick on the table and immediately put it in his mouth.
The cool way it spun wildly was so impressive that even Lu Chen and Yi Hanqing, who were standing by, felt that it deserved a beating and were filled with hatred.
King Meow seemed to be unaware of this and continued to attack crazily.
"Teach? Master Meow is not a human cultivator. There is no need to follow any messy formalities."
"But you, Wushen Mountain, didn't even teach you what self-knowledge is. Why do you think what Meow said is wrong?"
"Come on, come on, that's right, don't look at others, it's you, come down here, meow meow, and fight with me."
"Master Meow, I want to see what you are capable of, to be able to stand up there and talk to me, Master Meow!"
Seeing that King Meow actually ordered him to fuck, the disciple from Wushen Mountain was not angry. Instead, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
It was as if he had been waiting for King Meow to say this.
"Okay, then let me experience the elegance of your Qingyun Sect."
As he spoke, the disciple from Wushen Mountain walked into the venue.
In response to this, other sect disciples around all showed expressions of watching a good show.
And King Meow was not afraid of this.
Because after returning to Daliang Mountain, it is no longer the same as before! Lu Chen looked at the disciple from Wushen Mountain who accepted the challenge, and his eyes turned into lotus, as if he could see through his appearance and his essence.
However, Lu Chen just took a quick look and stopped paying attention to him.
Instead, he looked at the other Wushen Mountain disciples who were in the first place.
There's something wrong with these disciples of Wushen Mountain.
At Lu Chen's feet, a small white dog that looked like a Chow Chow was looking at the many disciples of Wushen Mountain with a serious expression.
"Brother Lu, the nine energies of those guys are not right. It seems that they are affected by something."
"The impact is so subtle that it can't be seen in the short term, so they probably didn't even notice it."
"Besides them, there are two other monks from other sects who may have problems. You should be careful when the time comes."
Hearing the divine voice transmission coming to his ears, Lu Chen nodded calmly.
In addition to Wushen Mountain, the other two sects that were not doing well were Canghuo Valley and Bailian Sect.
The former is a fire-cultivating sect, while the latter is a weapon-refining sect.
Ranked among the top ten, it is at the lower end.
Although I had thought that there would be some significant discoveries at this gathering of heroes.
But after making the real discovery, Lu Chen couldn't help but be a little shocked.
Even the top ten sects in Zhongzhou seem to be vaguely infiltrated by this evil.
Lu Chen didn’t dare to think about the situation of other small sects.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately prepared to let Di Ting leave the main banquet and go outside for a walk.
Although the younger generation of disciples cannot represent the entire sect.
But don’t forget that those who can participate in this True Immortal Trial are basically the true disciples of the sect, and are the key training targets of each sect.
Even if not all of these people are controlled by the evil, as long as one or two appear.
Wait until these people grow up in the future and enter the core areas of each sect.
It will undoubtedly have a terrifying impact on these sects.
After all, we have the help of these rats hiding in the dark.
Other evildoers will undoubtedly be able to integrate into these sects more quickly.
Even in the end, they were completely sidelined.
No wonder, no wonder the corpse Pang Xiao in the Kangding Peak copy said that many monks who fought against the evil did not die at the hands of the evil.
Instead, he died at the hands of his most trusted 'companion'.
These guys are really omnipresent.
Just as Lu Chen was thinking about how many people in this gathering of heroes had been involved with the evil one way or another.
King Wu Meow and the disciple from Wushen Mountain who challenged him came to the specially prepared dojo on the deck of the immortal boat outside and took their positions.
Looking at the other party, King Meow said arrogantly: "Boy, I hope you can be half as tough as you are."
"Don't wait for me to use my full strength before you fall down. That would be too boring."
In response to this, the Wushen Mountain cultivator said confidently: "It is said that the disciples of Qingyun Sect have outstanding character and natural Taoism. All the disciples in the sect are outstanding among men."
"But I didn't expect that there would be a kitten in a place like this. I really don't know how you convinced Qingyun Sect to keep a pet like you in the sect."
As soon as these words came out, the look in King Meow's eyes when he looked at him suddenly became dangerous.
Because this kid said the word that King Meow disliked the most.
kitten?
Mr. Cat is the king of beasts, the big brain tiger with white forehead and hanging eyes!
PS: I’m quite busy during the Chinese New Year, and Fat Tiger has to catch a train tomorrow, so I’ve been cleaning up for the whole day. I can only write one chapter today, and I’ll try to continue writing 10,000 chapters tomorrow.
