Chapter 52 Qingshan Ceremony
Compared to the Taoist order that hit the mountain gate directly from Qingshan Sect, the other three Taoist orders were much gentler.
Especially the one from Chongshan Sect, which had already lost its force when it fell and was firmly grasped in the hand of Wu Lang, the Sect Master of Chongshan Sect.
A rough thumb slid across the word "Tao". After a moment of silence, Wu Lang grinned, revealing a mouthful of golden teeth. He leaped up, riding on the clouds and mist. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the secret realm of Chongshan Sect. He passed through all kinds of strange beasts and strange realms and came to a big door.
Wu Lang knelt on one knee with his hands clasped together.
"Ancestor - Dao Sect has sent an order, please come out of the mountain and visit Qingshan Sect. After the matter is completed, Dao Sect will help you break through the bottleneck and complete the fusion!"
As the voice fell, the gate collapsed with a loud bang. A dry right hand as dry as a stick stretched out from the fog and grasped the Taoist order in Wu Lang's hand, and a hoarse and strange laugh sounded.
"That old man Mei Chai Shao doesn't have that kind of luck and fortune, and he must have died a long time ago. It looks like I can only be the first person in the Fusion Stage in Ganzhou. By the way... it's time for our Chongshan Sect to be the first sect in Ganzhou."
…
A few days later, the annual Qingshan Sect opening of the mountain gate and the day of selecting disciples are approaching.
During this period, Feng Shouyun, together with another powerful soldier who had arrived, used their spatial magical powers to hide the body of the Demon Lord. However, this did not prevent the people of Risheng City from relocating. After just a few days, Risheng City began to look desolate and dilapidated.
Without the main force of Risheng City, the warm-up before the opening of Qingshan Sect was obviously not as good as last year. Although there were still many people coming, almost all of them were mortals and their clothes were relatively simple.
The elders of Qingshan Sect had already prepared themselves mentally and knew Li Yanmo's plan, so they were not very nervous. However, the disciples of Qingshan Sect were all worried and uneasy. They crowded in front of the mirror magic weapon, staring with wide eyes, as if there was a turning point hidden in it.
But the longer they watched, the more disappointed they became.
"what to do?"
"I heard from the gatekeeper brother that a beam of light hit our mountain gate a few days ago on the front line! There were also three other beams of light heading towards the Five Poison Sect, the Jade Blood Sect, and the Chongshan Sect! It is said that something like this happened before the Five Mountains Sect was defeated!"
"Then we should..."
"What a noise!"
A light sigh ended the commotion of the inner disciples, and everyone immediately turned their heads to look.
A woman came walking in the air, her hands were as soft as catkins, her skin was as white as cream, her neck was as white as a cicada, her teeth were as white as a gourd, but her soft brows were tightly locked together.
Everyone immediately bowed nervously, "Big Sister, we are just looking at this year's disciples."
The woman pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "Humph - Qingshan Sect's status in Ganzhou has never relied on things like this. I have already comprehended half of the sword intent through the sword mark on the Sixth Elder's chest. It is only a matter of time before I comprehend the complete sword intent. In this year's Ganzhou competition, I will definitely win the championship."
Hearing this, the inner disciples' eyes lit up and they all congratulated him.
The Taoist sect holds a sect competition every four years. Each sect sends its most outstanding disciples to compete. In the end, the sect that stands out in a state will not only receive rewards from the Taoist sect, but will also have the opportunity to go further and compete with geniuses from outside the state.
Six hundred years ago, the Five Mountains Sect had an unparalleled genius who was not only gifted with intelligence, but also possessed a water-spirited Taoist body. He single-handedly suppressed all the geniuses in Ganzhou and even displayed his divine power in the Taoist competition. If it weren't for the bloody battle between the Five Mountains Sect and the Blood Desire Sect that resulted in heavy losses for both sides, the Five Mountains Sect could have relied on that genius to leave Ganzhou and head to Zhongzhou, where the Taoism was located.
Their senior sister Cheng Yuejie, the woman in front of them, defeated other sects in the last Ganzhou competition and saved the losing Qingshan Sect's position in Ganzhou.
Now Cheng Yuejie has reached the late stage of foundation building and has even comprehended half of the sword intent. It should not be difficult for her to win the Ganzhou competition.
Seeing that the inner disciples had regained their confidence, Cheng Yuejie breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to turn around, there was a sharp sound of breaking air suddenly coming from the sky. She saw a shuttle tearing through the clouds and falling towards them.
"Hahahaha - Cheng Yuejie, you little bitch really know how to brag!"
A cold light flashed in Cheng Yuejie's eyes. She raised her hand and pointed. The sword came out like a rainbow, trying to split the shuttle and its operator together.
"Half-step sword intent? You have something, but it's not good enough in front of me!"
A man jumped out of the shuttle. His right arm was pitch black. He grabbed the shuttle and swung it towards the sword light.
The two collided, and an invisible ripple spread out. The inner disciples at the scene were swept back several steps, and some even fell to the ground on the spot. Even Cheng Yuejie took a half step back.
The smoke dissipated, and the man stood up and leisurely brushed off the gravel on his body. The strong aura made Cheng Yuejie's face change slightly, "Fake Dan Realm."
"good--"
The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth.
"I am Tao Hu from the Five Poison Sect."
At this time, a cold snort came from the main hall of Qingshan Sect. The sky changed drastically, and a big hand slapped in the direction of Taohu. Even Tao Hu, who was so arrogant, had his feet pressed into the ground, but before the big hand could completely land, it was swept away by another big hand.
"Brother Liu, you are the leader of Qingshan Sect, why do you have to fight with a junior?"
A black-haired old man appeared beside Tao Hu at some point, stroking his beard with a smile, looking extremely kind.
"Bu Liuren, you came here uninvited, do I have to welcome you with a smile?"
Liu Wuchang jumped out and stared coldly at the black-haired old man.
"Hahaha - Brother Liu, look at what you said. I also don't have the heart to watch you, Brother Liu, your last dance of the Qingshan Sect. Unfortunately - the Taoist sect has issued an order," Bu Liuren shook his head in embarrassment and took out a token with the word "Tao" written on it from his arms.
"Really? Then please ask you and your disciple to stay in the back mountain. If you take a step forward, I will not hold you back," a hint of ambiguity flashed in Liu Wuchang's eyes.
"Hahaha - it's okay, it's okay. By the way, this is my apprentice Tao Hu. Four years ago he was still in seclusion and didn't have time to participate in the competition, but this year is different."
Bu Liuren laughed, raised his hand and patted Taohu on the back, while Taohu raised his eyebrows provocatively at Cheng Yuejie.
All the inner sect disciples had gloomy faces, and Cheng Yuejie's expression was even more frosty.
"Really? Then let's wait and see."
Liu Wuchang's indifferent reaction made Bu Liuren a little unhappy, but Bu Liuren was not in a hurry. He chuckled a few times and walked towards the back mountain.
An inner sect disciple couldn't help but ask Cheng Yuejie, "Big Sister, can you beat that person?"
Cheng Yuejie moved her fingers and replied in a deep voice, "After all, the fake elixir realm is not the golden elixir realm. It is not difficult to defeat him."
As soon as Cheng Yuejie finished speaking, she heard Tao Hu's voice floating over.
"I forgot to tell you that I have been a golden elixir for four years. I just couldn't accept the quality of that golden elixir, so I discarded it and wanted to condense a better one. Now... I have spent a lot of effort to barely suppress my realm to the fake elixir realm."
"You were just lucky enough to pick up a leader from me."
In the solemn atmosphere, Tao Hu left with a big laugh.
Cheng Yuejie bit her lips tightly and didn't say anything.
