Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Nanting nodded and said softly.

"This Hundred Sect Competition has been a tradition in the Northern Region for thousands of years."

"There are countless sects, large and small, throughout the Northern Region, but only these hundred sects are invited."

"And each sect only has ten spots."

Li Guanqi was a little puzzled when he heard this and said.

"With so many sects, there must be a thousand disciples participating."

"This competition is too grand."

The old man smiled and nodded, and said softly: "That's right, this is a grand event."

"Moreover, depending on the ranking, as long as an individual enters the top 100, the rewards will be more generous."

"The prizes for the competition are even personally provided by Dragon Qu, the Heavenly King of the Northern Region!"

"The sects of the top fifty disciples will receive many benefits."

Hearing this, Li Guanqi remained silent, he knew very well.

The more generous the rewards for this kind of competition, the more intense the competition will be.

Li Guanqi looked at Gu Ran beside him and asked softly: "Senior Sister Gu, did the Great Xia Sword Sect participate last time?"

Gu Ran's face changed several times, and finally she told the truth: "Yes, we did."

"Then what was the best ranking last time?"

Li Nanting said with an embarrassed expression: "Ahem... the best ranking was eighty-sixth..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces showed some embarrassment.

"Uh... isn't that the bottom!"

Although Li Guanqi was prepared in his heart, he didn't expect the ranking to be so low.

Then the Second Elder Xu Zhengjie said softly: "Be generous, there is nothing to be ashamed of admitting."

"In the previous Hundred Sect Competition, the Great Xia Sword Sect's results were at the bottom."

"But three sessions ago, when your master led the team, the Great Xia Sword Sect was ranked thirty-ninth!"

Li Guanqi looked at the old man in surprise, while Li Nanting waved his hand and said.

"Why talk about those old things, let's not mention what happened back then."

Xu Zhengjie nodded slightly, looked at the two of them with relief, and said softly: "This time, it was not easy to win you two a spot."

"Not to mention Guanqi, he has shown amazing talent in swordsmanship since the beginning of his cultivation."

"He has experienced several life-and-death crises in actual combat, and is much sharper in dealing with enemies."

Speaking of this, the old man turned to look at Gu Ran and said softly: "Although you, girl, have good talent, your actual combat is too weak."

"What's the use of studying spiritual incantations all day long? This old man doesn't have too many spiritual incantations for you to use, alas..."

Then the old man said in a deep voice: "This time, the Hundred Sect Competition will be held at Tianyu Pass in the Northern Region."

"There is only one month left. In this month, you must try your best to improve your strength."

"Strive to get a good ranking and win more resources for the sect."

Listening to the old man's message, both of them felt a little heavy on their shoulders.

At this time, Li Nanting said softly: "Don't give them so much pressure, just let it be."

"The ranking of the sect is determined by the duel points of the disciples in the sect."

"It's not just up to the two of them."

Speaking of this, Li Nanting waved his hand and said: "The quota should be confirmed in the next two days."

"If you two have time, go to the Sutra Pavilion on Tianzhu Peak and choose some suitable cultivation techniques and secret books. This time, you will not be charged any points."

"And you will be allowed to open the book pavilion in the back mountain, seize this opportunity."

After a few simple instructions, the two of them stepped down.

Before leaving, Gu Ran invited Li Guanqi to meet at Tianzhu Peak early tomorrow morning.

Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, then flew towards Yuhu Peak on his sword.

Sure enough, when he came back, Ye Feng and others were already waiting for him.

Da da!

As soon as Li Guanqi landed, he looked at the others and said softly: "Have you all received the news?"

Ye Feng and others looked at each other and nodded.

Zhong Lin said softly: "In the next three days, there will be an internal selection competition for the sect's quota."

"I didn't expect there to be such a grand event with hundreds of sects participating in the competition."

Even the honest Lin Dong scratched his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, I seem to have a chance to go."

Li Guanqi raised his eyebrows and asked: "Oh? Dongzi also has a chance?"

"Aren't these ten spots selected from the late stage Foundation Establishment disciples?"

Lin Dong was slightly startled and said, "You don't know?"

"Among the ten spots this time, there are four spots for early stage Foundation Establishment disciples."

"Three in the middle stage, and three in the late stage."

Hearing this, Li Guanqi pondered for a while.

"If that's the case... then will the sect leader's closed disciple, our eldest brother Wu Bing, also participate?"

Lin Dong, who was also a disciple of Tian Tu Peak, shook his head and said: "All the participants in this competition are Foundation Establishment disciples from the sect."

"Senior Brother Wu has just broken through to the Golden Core Realm not long ago and can no longer participate."

Li Guanqi was also shocked when he heard this. When he first entered the sect, he heard that Wu Bing was only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

The other party has broken through the realm one after another in such a short period of time, and has broken through the shackles of Foundation Establishment to become a Golden Core cultivator.

"As expected of someone who can be accepted as a closed disciple by the sect leader, this talent is really not weak..."

Li Guanqi looked at everyone and smiled slightly.

"Since everyone has a chance, let's fight for it and we will all participate in this competition together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was something more in everyone's eyes.

Then Li Guanqi said softly: "In the following time, you should first strive to obtain the sect's qualification to participate in the competition."

"I will go to Tianzhu Peak early tomorrow morning, and after I come back, I may go to the Daqian Waterfall behind Qianfeng Mountain."

"If you have any questions about swordsmanship, feel free to ask me, let's work hard together!"

Saying that, Li Guanqi slowly stretched out his fist.

The other three also slowly stretched out their fists, and everyone's fists collided, and their eyes gradually became firm.

Soon, the news of the Hundred Sect Competition spread throughout the Northern Region.

For a time, countless monks flew to Tianyu Pass on their swords, after all, this was a rare event.

Regardless of whether it was a sect participating in the competition, many people wanted to see the geniuses of these sects and join in the fun.

And Li Guanqi also learned from his master about the several strongest sects in this competition.

"The Great Xia Region is divided into four continents, namely Qingyun, Lingxu, Cangwu, and Xuanming."

"There is an endless and dangerous sea between the four continents."

Li Guanqi, with his eyes closed and focused, recalled the information he had obtained from his master.

"The top forces in Qingyun Continent are called the Three Sects and Six Halls."

"And in the Northern Region, there are only the Ziyang Hall and the Xuanmen Hall, and the Ziyang Hall is stronger between the two."
