Chapter 93 Flag
I only understood why the sect competition uses the Nascent Soul stage as the boundary after watching the outer sect competition. The outer sect generally has only the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are only a handful of people who have reached the Core Formation and Golden Core stages. Most of them are disciples who have been in the sect for some time. After all, those who have some strength have long been accepted into the inner sect.
The Chongguang Sect truly deserves the title of the number one sect, and its foundation is indeed profound. These outer disciples can be considered talented if they were placed in other sects.
Liu Hong dozed off while watching, "I finally understand why so many of my fellow apprentices didn't come."
I looked around and saw that most of the people who came to watch the competition were disciples who had just started this year. Even Amusa and Kong Yan were not there.
I know Kong Yan. I heard that he will not participate in the sect competition and will go out traveling. It is said that he is going to investigate some things in the East China Sea.
"Amusha is in seclusion," Liu Hong said to me, perhaps because I looked around too clearly. "I went to look for him to spar a while ago but couldn't find him. His senior brother said he was in seclusion."
I heard that our small group of five is quite famous in the sect. After all, we are the five people who have made it to the Immortal Ascension List this year. Putting aside Kong Yan, who is good at calculations and is not on the same track as us, Liu Hong, Ye Yingying and I all have single spiritual roots. It is normal for Amusa to feel a lot of pressure after entering the sect.
...After all, this is the world of cultivation within a volume!
"Is he still participating in the sect competition?"
“Yes…”
Liu Hong said uncertainly, "I hope he comes. I haven't fought him yet."
...Stop hitting me, brother. Look, the trouble you caused by fighting hasn't been solved yet.
Looking at the flashing swords and flying magic spells below, I finally had some feeling of cultivating immortals. Then I looked at the second to last competition venue.
Those were the two female disciples who had just come on stage.
One held a gun and the other a sword.
The woman holding the sword... has a hint of demonic energy about her?
She seems to be a demon cultivator?
Wait a minute, are demonic cultivators now infiltrating prestigious and upright sects so openly and unabashedly?!
Is it possible that my eyes are blurry?
I can see it, why can't others see it?
Those big guys are definitely watching this place!
[…Is there a possibility that this is also a green channel for you?]
[It's like you have a permanent, enhanced version of the "Eye of Truth" in this world. All disguises are invisible to you.]
【But if you cover it up a little, your eyes will turn golden again.】
"elder brother?"
Liu Hong suddenly grabbed my arm. I paused and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
He stared at me for a long moment, then shook his head.
He must have seen my eyes. I don’t know why, but my younger brother often has some stress reactions towards me. What is he afraid of?
I patted his head to comfort him and continued to look at the disguised demon cultivator. I even considered whether I should tell the elders of the sect in advance.
Why did she sneak into the Chongguang Sect?
It’s just that I’m not familiar with the other peak masters, and Ling Ye is also in seclusion.
"Junior sister, is the head master here?"
I asked Ye Yingying next to me.
She nodded, then said, "What's wrong?"
"Go and apologize to my stupid brother." I smiled at Wen Yang beside me, "After all, Master is in seclusion now, so I have to go."
"elder brother--"
Liu Hong's eyes widened, his face filled with an expression of "Isn't this already in the past? Why is he bringing it up again?" I then ruthlessly pinned him down in his seat. "Ah Hong, stay here. I'll be back soon."
Wen Yang glanced at me and smiled again, "Then as the person involved, I will lead the way for you, Senior Brother."
After saying that, he stood up and made a "please" gesture to me.
…
"So, Big Brother, do you have something else to ask Master?"
Wen Yang asked casually while walking on the road.
"I just saw Senior Brother's eyes turn golden. I heard that Senior Brother's ability to communicate with the Heavenly Dao is no less than that of Senior Uncle... I guess he must have discovered something, right?"
I looked at the young man next to me, whose age I didn't know. It's easy to talk to smart people.
"The apology is sincere. Ah Hong was spoiled by me at home. He doesn't know many etiquettes, so it's inevitable that he does things a little rashly."
I said softly, "But he doesn't have any bad intentions."
“…He’s a good kid.”
I said it reluctantly, and I really sounded like a naughty parent defending his naughty child.
Wen Yang walked beside me and said, "Maybe because his senior brother wasn't around when he came to Qi Yuan Peak, so I don't know what he looks like."
"His mind is only focused on becoming stronger, not on anyone else."
"When I saw you today, I realized that for him, the eldest brother is the only one he can take seriously - such a person can't be considered a child."
"He uses the way you are most familiar with him around you."
We were almost at Qi Yuanfeng's teleportation array, and he stopped.
"Junior brother also wants to advise senior brother," he looked at me, "don't treat him as a child anymore, otherwise... maybe one day he will use a tragic way to make you realize that he is no longer a child.
I remained silent.
…It seems like everything he said was a flag!!!
Don't say such horrible things in the tone of someone who has experienced this!
[It's okay, host. You're already an expert at handling brotherly relationships. No problem!]
You don't need to cheer me up at a time like this, right?!
…
Next we went through the teleportation array to Qiyuan Peak, and then went up the mountain to the master's dojo. We didn't say a word along the way. I didn't know what Wen Yang was thinking, and I was trying hard to blow away the flag in my mind.
After all, the world is indeed too peaceful at the moment.
"Liu Luan, what brings you here?" I didn't react until I walked into the master's dojo, and Wen Yang tactfully closed the door.
The headmaster was wearing a white shirt and sitting in the main seat, wiping his magic weapon.
I saluted, "Master, there are demonic cultivators infiltrating the sect."
I went straight to the point and took out a piece of photo-taking jade.
This is a short clip I quickly recorded when I decided to come and complain, about the female disciple who used a sword.
The Sect Master paused as he looked at the scene in the Image Jade. "I didn't realize she was a demon cultivator."
"Disciple saw the demonic energy on her, but Master is currently in seclusion. If I keep it secret, it might cause trouble, so I informed the head master in advance."
I didn't expect the other party to believe what I said.
"She must have some ulterior motive for sneaking into the Chongguang Sect by concealing her strength. If a disciple has the opportunity to face her during the Inner Sect Competition in two days, she will be exposed."
"But when the time comes, I'll have to rely on my uncles to subdue her."
The biggest problem is that I have to investigate and solve the problem by myself without saying anything. If I catch the criminal, it's fine, but if I mess it up, it will all be my fault - it's better to outsource everything.
It’s not my problem if I can’t catch him, after all, I’m just a small disciple.
Self-cultivation of mature workers.
[…The host is too skilled.]
The headmaster thought for a long time and nodded, "I will inform the other peak masters. The demon cultivator has been silent for a long time. To think they would take such a risk this time... You should also be careful."
He looked at me and said, "Your master is in seclusion. If you have any questions, just come to me directly."
A jade pendant flew into my hand. "This is Qi Yuanfeng's pass. You can use it to avoid going through the teleportation array."
"Thank you, Master. I will take my leave now."
…
"Brother, why did you come back so late?"
When I returned to my seat, Liu Hong was sitting there looking at me.
"Walking a little slowly, are today's games over?"
He nodded, and even Ye Yingying left first, leaving only him and a few scattered disciples cleaning the area.
I thought about Wen Yang's words and looked at him carefully.
...At the age of eighteen, he is indeed no longer a child, and because he has the fire spirit root, he is arrogant and unrestrained, and even looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.
His hair isn't even that smooth. Even though he wears a crown, there are always some hairs sticking out. I'm obviously a copy of him, but my hair is much smoother than his... But I think this may also be a problem of halving the attributes.
Even the hair toughness is reduced by half.
[No, no, no... I think this is just your imagination! ]
I patted his head and said, "You've grown up, Hong."
He looked at me in confusion and said, "Although I am your younger brother, we were born on the same day."
"That's right, it's my problem." I couldn't help but continue to pet his head. The feeling was especially like petting a big dog. "So if you're worried about something lately, you can always tell me, right?"
"When you grow up, you can share your troubles with your brother."
Then he paused, as if hesitating, opening and closing his mouth several times, "...nothing."
"real?"
"...I'll tell you after the sect competition is over. Let me think about it."
I:……
Ah, it feels like another flag has been raised.
Isn't what you said just a typical "I'll do this and that once this and that is over" sentence?!
Chinese teachers won’t use such standard sentences as examples! !
But I couldn't say anything more, so I could only hold out my hand and say, "Make pinky promise. If you don't, you're a puppy."
The world of cultivation places the most emphasis on cause and effect, so "agreements" also have certain constraints.
He looked at me speechlessly and hooked his pinky finger with mine. "Pink pinky. If you don't tell me, I'm a puppy."
The surrounding space fluctuated for a moment.
The causal line of "promise" was established.
——————————
The competition among inner disciples was much more popular than the competition among outer disciples in the previous two days. In the same venue, the seats for spectators were basically full.
Outer disciples can also watch, and even disciples from other sects are invited to come.
Liu Hong and I sat in our old seats. Most of the peak masters who were free came. The head of the sect sat in the main seat and glanced at me before sitting down.
I knew he was confirming the matter of the demon cultivator with me.
It seems that he really takes it to heart.
After the rules were read out, many disciples stood up.
"Brother, I'll go downstairs to wait first." Liu Hong greeted me and walked downstairs. Ye Yingying and Amusa also stood up.
Because I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, the competition was put at the back. I had to wait until the disciples below the Nascent Soul stage decided the winner before I could leave. Of course, if someone wanted to challenge me, I could leave early.
The competition in the inner sect is mainly about defending the ring, and the final ten champions will decide the top three. There is only one hard rule - disciples in the same ring must use the same cultivation level to decide the winner, and they cannot use their cultivation level to crush each other.
The reason why only disciples at the Nascent Soul stage and below are allowed to participate in the sect competition is because after the Out-of-Body stage above the Nascent Soul stage, even if their strength is suppressed, they will still crush those with lower levels of cultivation, making it impossible to achieve complete fairness and justice, so it is simply banned.
All the disciples at the Jindan level and below went to the arena.
In an instant, there were only about twenty inner disciples left in the entire viewing platform.
There are also disciples like Wen Yang whose cultivation level cannot be seen, but who are definitely above the Nascent Soul stage.
...There are probably only about a dozen Nascent Soul disciples actually participating in the competition.
The next ten venues were divided into two groups and the battles were decided by drawing lots. Liu Hong happened to be in the first round, so he stood up with his sword in hand.
The flames covered the sword. His opponent was also a water cultivator, who just happened to be able to restrain him - but his spiritual roots were too strong, and ordinary water cultivators might not be able to restrain him.
The disciple took the jade pot and poured out a trickle of water that swirled around him. It didn't look like ordinary water, but more like some kind of spiritual water. The water flow changed into water droplets and rushed towards Liu Hong.
Liu Hong stood in place and waved the flame in his hand. A wall of fire instantly turned the water droplets into steam.
Fantasy and scientific.
Then, taking advantage of the steam to cover himself, he raised his sword and slashed at it.
Soon the disciple on the opposite side fell into a disadvantage and was knocked down.
The whole process takes about three minutes.
No mercy at all.
Okay, okay, it has to be him.
He stood on the stage, waiting for the next opponent to come on stage. During this time, he looked at me and blinked.
