Chapter 215 Finalization
In the second battle of the third round in Tongxuan Realm, Yu Shiliu finished defending the title.
There was air flowing around his body, and he swung the sword as gracefully as a startled wild goose. He swung out a graceful long sword and directly knocked his opponent off the field.
Different from Ji You's simple and crude sword strike at the beginning, Yu Shiliu has obviously begun to come into contact with the inheritance of magic. Although he has not yet reached the stage of integration and his divine power is not prominent, the mystery between his moves is extremely entertaining.
Coupled with her good figure, she attracted a lot of attention.
On the second day, Rong Dao Realm also reached the last round of the third game.
The opponent Chai Ze met was named Feng Chunqiu. He was tall and strong, full of imposing manner, and wielded a straight-blade long sword that emitted a dazzling mysterious light.
Every time he swung his sword, it was blessed by mysterious magic, stirring up layers of wind and waves, making the spectators below the stage feel a tremendous pressure coming towards them, and the white jade stage was surrounded by billowing dust and smoke.
Chai Ze is still young, and because he is the nephew of the palace master, he enters the inner courtyard directly. He looks a bit like a weak scholar.
In the first two battles, Chai Ze Shang lacked combat experience and his responses were a little awkward.
However, relying on a mysterious finger technique, he overwhelmed everyone in the field all the way, causing the ground to shake violently, and made up for his lack of battle awareness with his absolute strength.
By the fifth game, he was already performing with ease.
Buzz! A subtle trembling sound was heard, and Chai Ze waved his finger like the wind, suddenly shooting out a finger of light in the field, which quickly sank into the air and disappeared.
When the many disciples in the outer courtyard saw this scene, most of them looked confused and didn't understand what was going on. They only felt a surge of pressure coming towards them.
However, Feng Chunqiu, who was attacking with a sword, was instantly suppressed.
Then Chai Ze was seen roaring, and with both palms out, the powerful force forced Feng Chunqiu's fierce attack back.
Feng Chunqiu attacked again, but Chai Ze pierced through him with one finger. The power of this finger was so amazing that it made the iron knife in Feng Chunqiu's hand tremble violently, forcing him to switch from offense to defense.
Chai Ze then attacked fiercely with the force of splitting a mountain with one hand. His palm was full of light and he directly split the iron knife with a clanging sound, which made Feng Chunqiu's blood boil.
After several clashes, Feng Chunqiu was defeated, and a hint of strong unwillingness appeared in his panting.
But looking at the other person's relaxed expression, he finally sighed and turned away.
In fact, Feng Chunqiu was not an unknown person. He had amazed people in the outer courtyard in those days.
Many people, especially the disciples of the Head Office, remembered that his speed in sensing the Heavenly Book far exceeded that of his predecessors, and he even won a place in the Immortal Tour held by the three southern sects.
Wu Zhen, who was the first to challenge Ji You, was a contemporary of his.
Just like Wen Zhengxin to Pei Ruyi, Feng Chunqiu was also the most unattainable genius in Wu Zhen's eyes, but unfortunately he was defeated in the end.
After five successful matches, Chai Ze got the spot easily.
Yu Shiliu also won consecutive victories in the next three games. Amid the sound of whips, he defeated the three disciples from the inner courtyard with a cold and arrogant attitude.
The battle went smoothly but without any danger, which was indisputable. As a result, the Elders' Council, which had been looking green for many days, gradually looked better.
The last defender of Rongdao Realm is He Lingxiu. Compared with the fight in Lingjian Mountain, the various magics she has acquired are obviously more complex and mysterious.
Although he has just entered the upper realm of Rong Dao, the temperament he exudes is quite similar to Chai Ze. In terms of aura alone, he is actually more amazing than Shi Junhao and Xiao Hanyan.
Moreover, she is quite popular, with half as many disciples watching her fight as others, most of whom are men.
The first one to fall into his hands was a disciple named Song Qian, who was at the inner courtyard Rong Dao realm.
Next came You Hanliu and Wei Wan.
In fact, they were all firmly remembered by some disciples from the outer courtyard, but unfortunately they were nothing in front of the direct disciples.
At the fourth stop, the one who came on stage was Fairy Zhengxin.
Both of them were using Taoist swords. After the sound of the gong rang, the rushing spiritual energy instantly collided with each other, and the two graceful figures continued to fight in the violent wind and waves.
Wen Zhengxin also took the path of adding various Dharmas to his body, and his aura was very powerful, which made He Lingxiu look more solemn than before.
After just a few rounds of fighting, the two men fought back and forth, with the sound of swords colliding constantly.
But as the battle progressed, some gaps began to slowly emerge.
The magic skills of Fairy Zhengxin were far less powerful and complicated than Lingxiu's, and repeated resistances were ineffective.
The magic skills that He Lingxiu used at the same time were far superior to those Chu He had used before, and they looked even more powerful.
Amidst the clanging sounds that came one after another, Fairy Zhengxin controlled the spiritual energy and it kept whistling on the White Jade Platform of Ascension. She exerted powerful energy many times, accompanied by thunder and fire, but still could not cut through the wind dance that surrounded her body.
He Lingxiu pressed forward step by step, his attack becoming faster and faster. The Taoist sword wrapped in rosy clouds pressed forward suddenly. With a humming sound, the purple thunderstorm suddenly became bright, and the sound of the collision stopped abruptly.
Wen Zhengxin looked at He Lingxiu deeply, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and pursed her pink lips while panting.
Cai Dongchen, who attacked later, suffered a similar fate as Fairy Zhengxin. After several unsuccessful attacks, he was forced off the stage by He Lingxiu.
Although this disciple of Zizai Palace has just broken through, his combat power is indeed extraordinary...
At the same time, countless noble families and immortal sects in Qingyun World also received news about the preliminary selections for the Tiandao Association, and the names of those who got the places were spread one by one.
Some people outside the sect and the aristocratic families went around Kyushu to collect information, exchange information, and spread the news.
The aristocratic families have fewer places, so even if they make their decisions more carefully, the results will come out faster than those of the immortal sects.
Therefore, long before the results of the Tianshu Academy competition were announced, the other contestants had already sparked a wave of discussion. Even the owners of teahouses and taverns at the lower level could talk about it for a while after hearing it many times.
After all, those who can participate in the Tiandaohui preliminaries, no matter the loser or the winner, will not be unknown figures.
"Fairy Zhengxin was very strong in the previous battle, so it's not a pity if she loses."
"Of course. If I could get the resources that my direct disciple can get, I would not lose today. So strictly speaking, I won the duel."
Wen Zhengxin was sitting in a restaurant in Shengjing City at this time. He did not feel depressed after failing to attack the challenge. Instead, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Because she had anticipated this result before, this battle was just to make her happy.
Besides, he was not the only one among those who were extremely talented back then who ended up being trapped because of his background.
Ban Yangshu nodded when he heard this: "If you think about it this way, it makes sense."
Cao Jinsong was holding the menu at this time, flipping through it continuously, and then after hesitating for a long time, he pointed to two dishes, then closed the menu and looked at the servant.
The waiter was stunned for a moment after taking the menu: "So many people... only two dishes?"
"No, except for these two, I want the rest."
"?"
Ji You was sitting next to him, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
However, since he had promised Senior Sister Wen that he would treat him to a meal if he lost, he had to endure it. His teeth made a hospitable "crunching" sound when they collided.
Also eating at the same table were Kuang Cheng, Wei Rui, Bai Rulong and the Lu sisters.
Hearing that Ji You's treat was a one-way show, Immortal Emperor Rulong came over without even looking at his buttocks. After all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ji You secretly cursed them for being useless for their behavior.
Wen Zhengxin turned to look at Ji You at this time: "Junior Brother Ji, now you are the only one left. You must come back with the top spot and go see what the sage's enlightenment place looks like, and come back to tell us."
"If I lose, do you have to treat me to a meal?"
Lu Hanyan straightened up and was about to say "please", but was stopped by the looks of the people around her.
Ji You has a strange way of thinking. He can be lured away by throwing a few pieces of silver on the road. He might really lose on purpose just to get a free meal. In that case, he might as well sell the quota.
Cao Jinsong put on the expression of a strict teacher: "This is just the beginning. You'd better not be arrogant. You should know that the seven major immortal sects have produced many talented people and countless geniuses. You must be cautious."
Ban Yangshu glanced at Cao Jinsong and said, "With Junior Brother Ji's strength, there's no need to be too cautious."
"It's better to be cautious. Who knows what kind of monsters will appear in other immortal sects or families?"
"No matter how weird someone is, there's probably no one as weird as my junior brother."
After hearing this, Cao Jinsong thought for a while, and finally had to nod in agreement.
He once said in Yuyang County that Ji You was extraordinary and thought he could enter the inner courtyard, but now he did not expect that he could make it this far.
It is rare throughout history for a rural private cultivator to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation where aristocratic families abound.
Cao Jinsong looked at his evil disciple and found that he had been drinking silently and had not participated in the previous topic at all. He couldn't help but frowned: "You have already got the quota for the Tiandao Association, what else is bothering you?"
Ji You sighed: "Teacher, don't ask too much. No one will understand this kind of thing if you tell them."
Kuang Cheng looked at Ji You for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but open his mouth: "He probably thinks that he doesn't have to pay if he's drunk. Brother Ji is always like this, with a lot of clever ideas."
"?"
During the Great Heat season, there was no rain in the entire Shengjing, and the sun was shining brightly almost every day.
Only in the evening does the heat drop slightly.
During this period, He Lingxiu won five games and took the last spot in Rongdao Realm, while the last spot in Tongxuan Realm was taken by Gu Zetao.
The white jade platform for ascending immortals in the outer courtyard of Tianshu Academy has been shattered beyond recognition. Dense spider-web-like cracks extend from the center to the edge, and there are two deep pits in it.
One was stepped out, and the other was cut out by a sword.
Without the rumbling sounds of battles and the mysterious light of the clash of magic, the outer courtyard disciples were more or less uncomfortable.
Some feel regretful, while others feel like they haven't had enough.
Afterwards, the disciples of the Office of Administration brought in new white jade stones from outside, cleaned up the previous broken bricks, filled the holes, and began to repave the ground.
The three heads of the Ministry of Affairs wrote up the cases of the consecutive days of fighting and submitted them to the inner court. After receiving the reply, they sent their disciples to copy it and posted it on the bulletin board on a sunny afternoon.
Although they had watched the entire process and already knew the outcome, the announcement still attracted a lot of people's attention.
Seeing that the list was filled with names of people with high status and extraordinary family backgrounds, many people were actually a little confused, wondering whether this was fair.
The results on the list were fought one battle after another, and they had witnessed every battle with their own eyes. But when these names were listed side by side, they still had some doubts.
The distribution of resources in Qingyun Tianxia is uneven, which is the first time some young students have experienced it directly.
Especially the outer court disciples from some small families, and those students who were admitted from Fengzhou based on quotas.
They stood in front of the notice board, recalling how they had participated in the fun for so many days, and suddenly realized that this matter might have nothing to do with them, either now or in the future.
Because behind each of the names above, there is a force that they cannot reach.
Until their eyes continued to wander and saw the last name in the Tongxuan Realm column.
This was the first defender of the Tongxuan Realm, but he was placed last. They didn’t know where this stubbornness came from, but suddenly this list seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
Especially the students from Fengzhou who were admitted to the academy with a quota, they seemed to see a beam of light reflected in their pupils...
Also reflected was the figure in white clothes fluttering and the Taoist sword rising and falling.
At this time, some students had already begun copying the list from the bulletin board, intending to send it back home to report the news.
So within two days after the list was announced, countless heads could be seen gathering in front of Shengjing Post Station, filling the entire long street, and even the threshold was almost trampled down.
The official in charge of the post office looked at the people in front of him and felt a headache. He muttered, "Don't worry, immortals. Please forgive me." Then he dealt with the letter in a hurry.
The noble families in the capital were the first to receive the list of participants. One copy was placed in the pavilion in the back garden of Prince Chong's Mansion, and there was also a copy in the Sixianjian.
At this time, King Chong felt that he was losing more and more, as if he had lost something, which made him feel very annoyed.
For some people, one can predict their whole life from their family background. This has always been Qingyun Tianxia's standard for judging people, and it is very accurate.
Because there are many things in this world, such as elixirs, spirit stones, and opportunities, which will not belong to anyone based on their stronger talent, but will only be given more based on who has a stronger background.
However, he encountered an exception.
Back then, there were three people in Tianshu Academy who had reached perfection in the lower three realms: the daughter of the Lu family, the young master of the Chu family, and the last one was treated as an interlude by him. However, he did not expect that this interlude would last so long.
At the same time, the Lu sisters also sent a letter home.
They don't need to queue up at the post office, because the Lingshi Chamber of Commerce has set up many private post stations in Qingyun Tianxia, with more than three in Shengjing alone, for the convenience of transportation of spirit stones.
The letter was soon delivered to the main hall of the Lingshi Chamber of Commerce, and the heads of the Lu and Ding families were already aware of the list.
The Lu family was promoted to a century-old family a few years ago and already had a quota to participate in the Tiandao Conference, but after choosing and choosing, they always felt that they were not up to par.
If one puts the Lu family's list together with the Immortal Sect's list, the huge difference between them becomes even more obvious.
But what they care about most is the name Ji You.
In Qingyun World, business and cultivation have always been separated.
Immortal power is always the highest and will never change.
When they first met that rural private cultivator at the Sixian Supervisory Bureau, everyone's status was closer to that of a businessman. As they were arguing with each other, Ji You looked like an ignorant junior in their eyes.
But when they saw this list, they realized that this was a ruthless person.
The power hierarchy within the Immortal Sect is complex and intricate.
The Elders' Pavilion and the Five Great Halls, where countless noble families had taken root, were all scheming for these fifteen places, yet one was still forcibly taken away by someone.
In addition to them, Fengzhou’s three major foreign immortal villages also received the news.
Because the matter involves the reputation of the Elders' Council, Tianshu Academy does not allow anyone to talk nonsense.
Therefore, many people only know the result, but do not know the specific process involving the forbidden sword, the drawing of the sword, the robes, the surrender, etc.
But those immortal cultivators who could not stay in their native lands knew best that the allocation of resources in Qingyun Tianxia had never been based on personal strength.
The quota for attending the Tiandao Association is also a resource.
Because unlike other immortal meetings that only give empty names, the Heavenly Dao Meeting has practical benefits. After all, the winner can enter the place where the sages attained enlightenment and listen to the clearest heavenly sounds.
For these people from Fengzhou Xianzhuang, they are not even qualified to watch the event, let alone participate.
But a rural private practitioner from Fengzhou got a place under the close scrutiny of countless people, which made many people feel dazed.
As the stars and the moon rotate, night turns into morning.
Ji You got up early and washed, then went to Xianshanfang, where he demonstrated the serious consequences of body training to everyone who was having breakfast, and by the way, hurt his wallet again.
The next month was nowhere in sight, and Instructor Cao could not get his new monthly salary for the time being, so he could not give it to his disciple.
Rulong Immortal Emperor went home to visit his relatives and cannot be seen for the time being.
He hasn't found any new clients yet and feels like he's going to bankrupt himself.
Lu Hanyan wanted to support him, but Ji You was afraid that she would be grateful to him, and if she really wanted to go to her master, he would find it difficult to refuse.
When Ji You came back from dinner, before he even got back to the courtyard, he saw Wen Siyuan, the director of the office, waiting for him on the road he had to take, summoning him to Qingfeng Hall to discuss matters.
It was said to be a meeting, but in Ji You's opinion, it should be an explanation of the affairs of the Tiandao Society.
Because in recent days, various immortal sects and aristocratic families have competed for the places in the competition, and those at the same level have the possibility of becoming opponents.
Ji You sent Wen Siyuan away, then changed his clothes and walked out of the house, walking along the mountain road to the back of Zizhu Zen Temple, passing a green grass area and heading towards Qingfeng Hall.
He was not the only one who was summoned here. There were also seven other winners of the quota, including He Lingxiu. The six elders who had experienced this once or more before did not need to come.
The seven people were currently chatting, discussing the opponents they had met on the stage before. They were talking and laughing in a relaxed and carefree manner, already possessing the sage-like temperament of their elders.
Ji You walked in listening to the discussions, and saw that everyone's smiles froze and they stopped talking.
Many mysterious techniques had appeared in the Tiandaohui preliminaries, which amazed the onlookers. Although they had unfathomable expressions, they actually felt extremely satisfied deep down in their hearts.
Before becoming immortals, cultivators will also be trapped by the seven emotions and six desires and cannot escape the mundane world. This is natural.
But no matter who it was, or what kind of magic they used that day, no matter how gorgeous or grand, it was not as shocking as the four simple swords left by Ji You.
Therefore, when discussing the previous battle in front of him, everyone felt a little uncomfortable, as if they were unable to speak.
"Junior brother, here."
He Lingxiu raised her hand and waved at him twice.
