Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"The Genius Competition?"

Everyone was silent when they heard this.

People who seek immortality and seek immortality all say they want immortality and the Tao, but in the end, how many people can live forever and have the Tao last forever?

The Avenue of Immortality is just a place of hope. Most practitioners focus on the present.

For fame, for profit, for country, for beauty, for one's own desires, fight, rob, fight and kill!

This is the normal state of cultivation.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

But the same cannot be true within a force.

Therefore, it is only natural that the fight of life and death be demoted and changed to a competition in the ring.

Family competition, sect competition.

Various competitions emerge in endlessly.

Except for the lonely cultivators, which cultivator has never participated in a competition?

This kind of thing can be interesting or boring.

It depends on what you do.

If it's a fight between dragons and tigers, with real swords and guns, and it's exciting and exciting, then it's definitely fun.

But if it’s just children playing house, making small fuss and cheating, or even deciding the outcome and ranking, then it’s not worth seeing.

"Is this competition a competition for Qingyu Mountain, or a competition for the entire Liang Kingdom cultivation world?"

"Looking at Qingyu Mountain's attitude, it should include the entire cultivation world, and everyone can participate."

"So what? The disciples of Qingyu Mountain will also come on stage this time. Do you still have the guts to overwhelm them?"

"Yes, this is our first competition, and if an outsider wins the championship, where will the reputation of Qingyu Mountain go, and where will the face of King Shi Fa go?"

"You talk like you can win. The disciples trained by King Shi are probably even stronger than those of the three sects. If you have the ability to defeat them, what if you lose the face of King Shi?"

"That is, now in the Liang Kingdom, the Golden Core cultivators are almost completely wiped out, and the remaining ones have also joined the law enforcement elders under the Dharma King. They will definitely not come to power. The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators, who can defeat the disciples of Qingyu Mountain, especially Several of the true descendants of His Holiness are only humiliating themselves by going on stage.”

"I wonder what the reward will be..."

Everyone was talking a lot, and most of them were not very interested.

There is no way around it.

The Genius Competition was held for the first time.

In both emotion and reason, the disciples of Qingyu Mountain should win.

It's enough for outsiders like them to join in the fun, how can they usurp the host?

Even if King Shifa doesn't care, they still have to correct their identities.

That's how it is with the world.

but……

"Any cultivator can sign up for this competition."

"There are two major types of big scores, one is the magic battle, and the other is the skill competition!"

"Needless to say, there is no need to say much about magic battles. Everyone relies on their own methods in the arena. The strong will win and the weak will lose!"

"The skill competition is a competition in the various arts of cultivation, such as elixirs, talismans, weapons, formations, agriculture, imperialism... etc., with its own assessment and evaluation results."

"Whether it is a magic battle or a skill competition, it is all conducted on a point system. The winner of the battle can get a large number of Qingyun points. Even if he fails, he can still get a small amount of points based on his performance."

"Based on the Qingyun points, there will be a round of competition to determine the final winner and leave his name on the Qingyun list!"

"Qingyun points can be exchanged for skills, elixirs, talismans, magic weapons and other rare treasures and spiritual materials on the Qingyun list."

"That's right, the genius competition will bring great success to the sky!"

As he spoke, Bai Yunzi flew up, and the high platform below disappeared.

He was in mid-air, ignoring everyone's shocked gazes, and threw something down.

An object was thrown down, and it grew in the wind. In the bright spiritual light, a jade tablet appeared, a jade tablet towering hundreds of feet high.

"boom!!!"

The stone tablet fell and stood on the ground with a bang, standing in the center of the venue, causing dust to fill the sky.

"call!"

The next moment, a strong wind hit, and the dust and smoke dispersed, revealing everyone who was in shock and confusion.

Bai Yunzi fell down and stood under the sapphire tablet, and the sound of announcement reached the ears of the cultivators.

"The affairs of the Tianjiao Competition are all in this Qingyun Ranking. This list is the treasure of the Dharma King. It is infinitely mysterious. You only need to activate your spiritual thoughts and connect with it to know the matters of the Tianjiao Competition and the ranking rewards of the Qingyun Ranking. Sign up to join The test method is also included, and fellow Taoists can explore it on their own."

After saying that, Bai Yunzi flew away and disappeared into the clouds regardless of how everyone reacted.

"..."

"..."

"..."

I don't know how long it took for everyone to wake up and come back to their senses. They looked at the "Qingyun Bang" that was a hundred feet high and as green as jade, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

After a while, I saw a foundation-building monk who tentatively activated his spiritual thoughts and threw himself into the Qingyun List.

See you later...

"Qingyun Qi Training Ranking, Qi Training Realm, ten places will be selected. One to three will be rewarded with a top-grade foundation-building pill and a top-grade magic weapon. Four to six will be rewarded with a top-grade foundation-building pill and a top-grade magic weapon... …”

"Qingyun Foundation Establishment List, Foundation Establishment Realm, take ten places, one to three will be rewarded with a pill-forming spiritual object and a top-grade spiritual weapon, four to six will be rewarded with a bottle of Thunder Creation Pill, and a top-grade spiritual weapon... "

"Qingyun Spirit Planting List, Spirit Planting Husband, take ten places, one to three, and you will be rewarded with a Spirit Vein Cave in Qingyu Mountain, a bottle of Thunder Creation Pill..."

"Qingyun Beast Taming Ranking, Beast Taming Envoy, take ten, one to three, and be rewarded with a Qingyu Mountain Spirit Vein Cave, a thousand catties of third-level blood spirit rice..."

"Qingyun Alchemy Master List, alchemy masters, take ten, one to three, and be rewarded with a Qingyu Mountain Spirit Vein Cave, a low-grade magic weapon, a Qingyu Alchemy Furnace..."

"Qingyun Talisman Master List, Talisman Master, pick ten..."

"Qingyun Tiangong Ranking, weapon refiner, take ten..."

"Qingyun Formation Dao Ranking, Formation Masters, take ten..."

"..."

"Qingyun points can be exchanged for various rewards on the Qingyun list."

"The best foundation-building pill, five thousand Qingyun points!"

"Third level black snake inner elixir, 50,000 blue cloud points!"

"Elixir-forming spiritual objects, Xuanyin spiritual liquid, and hundreds of thousands of blue cloud points!"

"Magic weapon, spiritual weapon..."

"talisman, elixir..."

"Lingdi Mine, Lingdi Cave..."

"..."

"Qingyun Points can only be obtained through the "Tianjiao Competition"."

"The Genius Competition is held once a year and has three days of rounds to determine the ranking on the Qingyun list."

"All cultivators can participate and sign up here."

…

“Holy shit, shit, shit!!!”

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Mr. Zhen, who was browsing the Qingyun List with Xiao Miao, once again lost his bearings.

"This old guy is so damn rich!"

"But no matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this, right?"

"It's the best foundation-building pill, it's a pill-forming spiritual object, it's a spiritual vein cave, it's a magic weapon and it's a magic weapon... Are you thinking of this as the God of Wealth?"

"It's held once a year. Good guy, what evil have you done to waste your family wealth like this?"

"Even if you don't feel sad about what you robbed, you can't withstand your defeat, right?"

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"Ah, no, I can't stand it anymore. Boy Miao, let's run away quickly. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid this old ghost will drive me crazy!"

Faced with Yu Lao's nonsense, Xiao Miao was helpless and could only remind: "Maybe he is just trying to keep his wealth to others?"

"Why don't the rich water flow to outsiders' fields..."

After a pause of words, Zhenlao fell into silence.

A long silence.

After the silence, there was a wry smile.

"You're right, the wealth should not flow to outsiders!"

"In this competition between geniuses, it's probably difficult for outsiders to win the ranking."

"Even if you win the ranking and get the reward, as long as you are still in this Liang Kingdom and still in this ethereal world, you must be used by him, work for him, and contribute value."

"He is not supporting outsiders, but he regards this Void Spirit Cave, these Liang Kingdom cultivators, millions of cultivators, and tens of thousands of mortals as his own."

"Those who steal hooks will be punished, those who steal the country will be punished, and those who steal the world will be punished..."

Mr. Zhen stopped talking and did not continue. He just said solemnly to Xiao Miao: "Boy, let's go. This man is too dangerous. If he doesn't make a mistake, disaster will happen. He can bear it, but we can't bear it."

"disaster?"

Xiao Miao was startled and asked tentatively: "You always say..."

"Anything is possible. This person came to the Void World with no simple purpose. I'm afraid that not only the Beidou Immortal Sect will end up in the end, but other Immortal Sect Holy Saints in the Northern Territory may also have a hand in it. In addition, the Void Spirit Lord's Those bad things...who knows what the situation will develop into."

Mr. Zhen said seriously: "In the end, if the battle breaks out, this Fangdongtian world may be shattered by them!"

"So exaggerated?"

"Otherwise, how can we call it Immortal Sect?"

"..."

After a period of silence, Xiao Miao still shook her head.

"Where can we go?"

"Liang Guo's cultivation world has been controlled by him. After leaving Qingyu Mountain, we don't even have the most basic cultivation resources."

"We have no way to sneak out of the Void Spirit Cave and escape to other places. It is just a cover-up and cannot solve the problem at all."

"For today's plan, we can only follow the trend."

Xiao Miao's words fell silent: "Mr. Zhen, can you deceive that person with your Qi-condensing technique?"

"..."

Zhen Lao was silent for a while, then said: "As long as you don't get in front of him and don't attract his attention, it shouldn't be exposed."

"That's good."

Xiao Miao nodded: "Tomorrow I will participate in the Qi Training Realm competition. If I am discovered, I will reveal my foundation-building skills. With Qingyu Mountain's style of conduct, if it is just a fake and no harm to human life, then the most they can do is to kill me. Throw it away to mine.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhen was helpless: "Decided?"

"Decided!"

Xiao Miao clenched her fists and said in a deep voice: "If you don't make good use of such a good resource, how can you be worthy of yourself?"

"You kid...okay!"

Mr. Zhen shook his head, and then said: "I will go crazy with you. The worst that can happen is that the old ghost will catch you and search for your soul. You will die like a bird in the sky, and you will not die for tens of millions of years. What are you afraid of? I'll do it with him!"

When Xiao Miao heard this, she smiled: "Then disciple, thank you very much, Master!"

"You kid, you're a ghost."

Mr. Zhen laughed and scolded: "But it's okay. That old ghost uses the world as a chess piece and wants to swallow up this ethereal world. Let's walk on his chessboard, eat his things, take his things, and finally poach his corners. Let him lose all his money and see if he dares to play like this in the future."

Xiao Miao's eyes narrowed: "You mean..."

"That's right!"

The old man laughed evilly: "Let's start with this Tianjiao Competition. First go up the Qi Training Ranking and get the first place reward, and then take advantage of the situation to break through the foundation building."

"In this way, I can get the rewards of the Foundation Establishment Ranking in the coming year, and I can also participate in the Formation Master Ranking. In addition, I am proficient in alchemy, talisman, and weapon refining. I can't guarantee the first place, but the top few should not be a problem."

"You don't even have to work for him. With the rewards from this competition, you can meet the needs of the golden elixir."

"Then the old boy has calculated everything, but I don't know if he can get it, and there is still a variable like the two of us buried at his feet?"

…

Beautiful day, early morning.

In the market, after a night, there is still no calm, but more and more excitement. The "Genius Competition" and "Leave a Name in the Clouds" have become the focus of everyone's discussion.

When the practitioners heard it, they were all shocked and boiling.

Most cultivators live in the present. Compared with the illusory path to immortality, more people choose to pursue fame and wealth, beauties, and desire to enjoy themselves.

And this Tianjiao Competition can satisfy their needs.

Name, needless to say, in just one night, everyone will know about the Qingyun List. It will not take long for it to spread throughout the Liang Kingdom. As long as the name is left on the list, it will definitely become a hotly discussed figure and gain countless fame and respect.

Needless to say, the various rewards on the Qingyun List are all exciting and jealous. The foundation-building monks who had previously had the Kunai Spirit Stone wanted to jump on the stage and start a battle immediately. Earn Qingyun points and exchange them for spiritual items on the list.

The emergence of the Qingyun List gave Liang Guoxiu a goal and motivation.

If not, just let them work, practice, work, practice in such a boring and boring way, then even if they don't resist, they will feel disgusted, feel that life is empty, meaningless, and worthless, and lose the motivation to move forward.

The competition between geniuses and leaving their names in the clouds can allow them to show their self-worth and make them feel that their hard work is meaningful and rewarding. In this way, their ability to act will naturally increase.

With a goal and a direction, the empty life will be filled, and the motivated cultivator will work hard to become the best "plug-in cultivator" and add bricks and tiles to the foundation of the "Stone Dharma King".

Of course, they didn't know this.

…

"Tianjiao Competition, Qingyun List!"

"If you leave your name on the list, you are a genius!"

"As a sword cultivator, what is my purpose in this life? Isn't it just to become famous with my sword?"

"Today, I will definitely have a place on this list!"

"If someone else makes this kind of list, even if ten lives are not enough to die, Qingyu Mountain will make it. It is completely authoritative, there is no doubt about it."

"His Holiness Shi is holding this competition because he wants to attract the world's heroes. We don't have to be restrained. Even if we compete on the stage, even if we overwhelm the disciples of Qingyu Mountain, His Holiness will not blame him. Instead, we will be rewarded."

"The old man has been farming all his life, and nothing else is good, but when it comes to farming skills, hehe, the Spirit Vein Cave is mine..."

Everyone was excited with their words and their blood was boiling, and it was hard to hold back.

At this moment...

"Boom!"

Outside Qingyu Mountain, thunder roared, and when the wind and clouds were frightened away, a tall tower fell from the sky and landed suddenly outside Qingyu Mountain.

Immediately, a man flew out and announced loudly.

"The competition of geniuses will be held in the tower!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was startled, then stood up and headed towards the tall tower.

In front of the giant tower, a person stood in the sky, it was...

"Why is it him again!?"

Looking at Bai Yunzi in the void, the people who arrived were a little puzzled: "Is there anyone in Qingyu Mountain? Why should a rebel take charge of such an important matter?"

"Nonsense, everyone up and down Qingyu Mountain who has enough weight must participate in the competition. Those who have no weight are not easy to get on stage. If he is not the host, who should host it?"

Everyone was talking secretly, but Bai Yunzi ignored them.

"The name of this tower is Tongtian, and it is the treasure of the Dharma King. There is a cave in the sky with clear lines. It can accommodate a thousand people competing at a time!"

"Fighting skills are divided into different categories. Those who have registered through the Qingyun Ranking and received the Qingyun Jade Talisman can check the competition time and event schedule through the Qingyun Jade Talisman. Don't miss it, otherwise it will be deemed as a waiver."

"In addition, this tower was created by the Dharma King and can help people realize the Tao. If you all go all out, no matter whether you win or lose, you will gain something in the end."

"Help people realize enlightenment?"

"real or fake?"

Everyone was surprised and confused when they heard this.

Xiao Miao was also startled, hoping to see Lao Zhen's reaction.

However, there was peace in my mind.

"..."

"..."

After a period of silence, Xiao Miao finally couldn't hold it in any longer and used her spiritual thoughts to "poke" Mr. Zhen.

"What?"

Mr. Zhen responded angrily.

"this……"

Xiao Miao asked tentatively: "What don't you want to say?"

"say what?"

Elder Zhen spoke calmly: "It is very rare to have enlightenment, but compared with the things this old ghost has done before, it is just like that, unless he digs out the three-jeweled Bodhi tree at the Buddha level in the Brahma Gate. Otherwise it’s nothing.”

"oh!"

"It's my turn."

Xiao Miao nodded, checked the jade talisman in her hand, and after confirming her ranking, she walked towards the tower.

"Boy, be sure. If the other party says something like this, it will definitely not be a lie. It's just a matter of strength and weakness. If the enlightenment effect of this tower is acceptable, then we will participate in the formation master competition later, and we can just replenish the formation for you. Do your homework."

"good!"

Xiao Miao confidently stepped into the tower as the old man explained.

As soon as I stepped into the tower, I felt like the world was spinning, and when I recovered, I was already in a state of confusion.

The clouds and mist are vast, seeming both virtual and real, like an arena in the sea of ​​clouds.

In the sea of ​​clouds, there was already a person standing. It was a petite girl carved in pink and jade.

Although she was a girl, she was extremely cute and pitiful, but Xiao Miao still didn't dare to be careless and looked at the other person carefully.

At the same time, a loud sound echoed in the void.

"Xiao Miao, practice your Qi and perfect your cultivation!"

"Shui Lingling, practice your Qi to perfect your cultivation!"

"This is a Qi training competition. The foreign objects, elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons used must not exceed the first level, otherwise it will be judged as a defeat!"

"The battle has begun. Break the Qingyun Jade Talisman. Now that you are victorious and defeated, no more assassins can be killed!"

…

"Qi practice Dzogchen?"

Listening to the introduction of Babel Tower, Xiao Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although the Stone Master has magical powers, the "Five Elements Reversal Qi Training Technique" taught to him by the Array Master was not bad at all. It successfully covered up his foundation-building realm cultivation, and even the Babel Tower could not detect it. , dividing him into a competition in the Qi training realm.

As a foundation-building monk, it goes without saying that he has an advantage against an opponent in the Qi-training realm.

Even if he had to cover up and couldn't use all his strength, he was sure to win over this cute little girl.

Not only this little girl, but also other opponents later, all the monks who competed with him for the first place in the Qingyun Qi Training Ranking...

"Big brother opposite, are you ready?"

I let my thoughts wander away and was called back by a timid word.

Xiao Miao was startled and looked intently, only to see the girl staring at him, with a waxy face and an extremely pitiful look.

"Does such a young child also come to participate in the competition?"

Xiao Miao was surprised, but she didn't say anything more. She just said, "You're ready, come on."

"oh!"

The girl nodded, then raised her hands.

"boom!!!"

The thunder roared, the lightning was startled away, and the machine of destruction leaped out, turning into a thunder dragon and electric dragon coiling around her.

"???????"

"!!!!!!"

"Fuck!!!"

Xiao Miao screamed, and she moved her figure to avoid the roaring thunder dragon.

"boom!!!"

There was a loud noise, and the thunder dispersed, revealing Xiao Miao's slightly embarrassed figure.

In my mind, the voice of the old man was deafening: "You kid, don't be fooled by this girl's appearance. Look at the power of this thunder method. She is not the granddaughter of that old ghost, but also his true disciple. You should be careful, don't be afraid." After a while..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the little girl in front put away the thunderbolt, stood there, held the spell in her hand, and used a childish voice to urge the curse.

"I invite the Jade Emperor Haotian to cast a spell on the three mountains and five mountains. The sky is not as big as the earth, the earth is not as big as me, and I am not as big as Mount Tai. First, I invite thousands of mountains to squeeze, and secondly, I invite thousands of mountains to squeeze, and one person squeezes ten people. , Ten people squeeze a hundred people, a hundred people squeeze a thousand people, a thousand people squeeze ten thousand people, and ten thousand people can’t lift it!”

"disease!!!"

A curse was pressed by thousands of mountains until it fell on Xiao Miao's body.
