Before the sect competition, Sheng Ning stayed in the Invincible Sect, learning from his senior brothers.
She was born intelligent and could apply what she learned to other situations.
On the day of departure, Lu Qing'an and the other four thought of her seventh-level Foundation Establishment cultivation, and their hearts were filled with pride.
Even a small sect like the Invincible Sect has its own uniform attire.
When Sheng Ning walked out of the courtyard wearing a moon-white dress, she saw her five senior brothers standing in front of her courtyard gate with different expressions.
"What's wrong?"
Cultivators don't usually wear many clothes; they can clean themselves thoroughly by simply performing a cleansing incantation.
Sheng Ning is the same.
In her past life, she was a scientific researcher who wore a white lab coat every day. When she went out to meetings or competitions, she would change into a suit.
It's fortunate that she's good-looking and has a good clothes hanger; otherwise, even a dog would dislike her if she only wore those few outfits.
Now that she's been at the Invincible Sect for a few months, she has several more outfits in her wardrobe.
However, she was usually busy with cultivation and had no time to dress up.
Therefore, when she was in the Invincible Sect, she mostly wore her long hair loose and the lake-blue dress that Lu Qing'an had bought for her.
Occasionally, she would casually tie her long hair up with a hairband, revealing her delicate little face.
Lu Qing'an and the others were already used to her slovenly appearance.
Now, seeing her wearing the Invincible Sect's robes, with her long hair tied up high, revealing her smooth forehead, and her unadorned face, she is absolutely stunning.
There are no ugly people in the cultivation world.
After undergoing cultivation and purification of their essence and marrow, everyone's appearance will not be too bad.
However, Sheng Ning was different from the other cultivators.
She looks so small, who would have thought that she could blow up the four gates of the main peak of the Taixu Sect and steal the inner cores of demonic beasts from various sects?
This sense of contrast.
Lu Qing'an and the others swallowed their saliva frantically.
"Junior sister, do you want to cover your face?"
Yu Ye took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, "How did you end up looking like this?"
Even Yu Ye, who is usually the most cheerful and irritable, can't help but take a few more glances at Sheng Ning's little face.
When she first arrived at the Invincible Sect, she was so tiny and frail that a gust of wind could blow her away.
How did it grow up like this?
Sheng Ning reached up and touched her face, puzzled. "What do I look like? Am I ugly?"
Su Daiyuan shook his head. "It's beautiful."
She was more beautiful than any nun they had ever seen.
Then, thinking that they were the ones who raised her to be this way, Lu Qing'an and the others felt a surge of pride.
Looking at their pathetic state, Su Daiyuan, having reverted to his former gentle self, smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go."
Since this trip involved six people, the sect competition was held on a large island called Wuwang Island, and Su Daiyuan specially rented an airship.
When they arrived at Wuwang Island, the sect competition was still two days away from starting.
Wuwang Island has existed for ten thousand years.
The sect competition is held here every year.
Legend has it that this place was once the back garden of the gods, but due to the ancient war between gods and demons, it eventually became a deserted island.
Even though it's a deserted island, it's rich in resources. After cultivators discovered that a secret realm opens here every three years, they designated it as the venue for the sect's grand competition.
Each sect competition is a time for sects to compete for face.
The four major sects are rich in resources and have outstanding disciples. The top student in each year is usually chosen from one of the four major sects.
The minor sects are just here to make a show of things.
Not to mention the independent cultivators.
However, if a rogue cultivator is outstanding enough, they can be recruited by the four major sects.
This tradition has continued for hundreds of years, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
And as the sect competition began, they started betting on the outcome.
"This year's competition will surely see the Taixu Sect take the lead again. Qin Chuan has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he can't win first place in the first competition, he can still surpass other sects by entering the secret realm in the second competition."
"If you don't believe me, the Flying Flower Sect has recruited a batch of new disciples in the past two years. I've heard that some of them are particularly outstanding. I'm betting on the Flying Flower Sect."
“Hey, do you think Kong Wuke might appear? Although he killed Master Kongkong, he didn’t become the sect leader of the Lotus Sect. Maybe the Lotus Sect will win first place this time.”
"Kongwu? That Buddhist cultivator who has killed countless people? If he really takes to the field, I'm afraid no one can defeat him."
......
Sheng Ning stood on the side of the street, arms crossed, listening to the discussions among the wandering cultivators.
Perhaps she bent over too much, startling the cultivators. When they stopped their discussion, she not only didn't blush, but also calmly told them to continue.
"Why did you stop talking? Why can't the top spot in a sect be won by a small sect? Small sects also have many outstanding disciples."
The monks seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
They first glanced at Sheng Ning's moon-white sect robes, then shook their heads and laughed, "Ignorant child, do you know that small sects not only have poor resources, but it's already remarkable if each small sect can produce even one Golden Core cultivator?"
Even many sect leaders of small sects only have the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage.
With such cultivation level, how can he compete with the four major sects?
Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.
She turned her head and glanced at her senior brothers who were buying various items at the market, and frowned, saying, "Impossible, the Golden Core stage isn't some kind of extraordinary cultivation level."
The monk was so angry he laughed.
He stood up abruptly, looking down at Sheng Ning, "A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to speak so presumptuously? Golden Core cultivators aren't like cabbages; do you think they can just appear out of thin air...?"
