Chapter 40: The Fairies Seclude Themselves in the Secret Realm

The group wandered around the sect for a long time, but didn't encounter any familiar faces, which was a bit disappointing.

Thinking about it, it made sense. The disciples of the Ten Great Sects wouldn't all be running around idly. Many were focused on cultivation to prepare for the Grand Competition. Moreover, the Taiqing Sect was so large that even if they did come out, they might not run into each other.

Besides, so many years had passed. It was impossible for everyone to remain unchanged like Qin Qipeng and the others. Some might be standing right in front of them and they wouldn't even recognize them.

"Big brother, let's stop searching for now. If there really are any brothers who have come here, we'll naturally know tomorrow during the Grand Competition. We haven't seen each other for so long, I have a few jars of spirit wine here, how about we have a drink together?"

Qin Qipeng suggested.

Qin Qiming hesitated, "The Grand Competition is tomorrow, wouldn't that be bad?"

"What does it matter? We are cultivators, ordinary spirit wine won't affect us. Let's go, little brother, third sister will accompany you for a drink!"

The group left together!

Within the Taiqing Sect, on Fire Spirit Peak, there was a huge stone platform. It had been smoothed and flattened extremely well by the Taiqing Sect using great divine powers. The competition venue for the Ten Great Sects was located here.

The platform was divided into ten areas, each belonging to one of the Ten Great Sects, and the middle was separated into small round platforms for the disciples of each sect to compete.

Streams of light from magical artifacts descended. Under the arrangement of the Taiqing Sect, the sects took their seats one after another.

Everyone was very familiar with the competition process of the sects, which saved a lot of trouble.

The first month was for the Qi Refining stage disciples of each sect to compete, vying for the top ten. Each family would take out some treasures as rewards.

The second month was for the Foundation Establishment stage, and the third month was for the Golden Core stage.

After three months, disciples from each sect would be arranged to enter a trial ground, which contained various spiritual medicines and treasures, but also had demon beasts guarding them. It tested the ability of the disciples of each sect to handle dangerous situations.

Danger was natural, but it was within a controllable range. Everyone understood the principle that jade must be cut and polished to become a useful object.

"Tai Xuan Sect's Qin Qiming versus Bihai Sect's Guan Chengxuan!"

"Thunder Sword Sect's Luo Yan versus Taiyi Sword Sect's Tang Ling'er!"

"… …"

The competitions of the Ten Great Sects were conducted simultaneously, otherwise it would take too long for so many disciples to compete.

"Junior Brother Qiming, show the momentum of our Tai Xuan Sect and beat that kid up!"

"Senior Brother Luo Yan, you must not show mercy just because the opponent is a woman!"

"… …"

The disciples whose names were called immediately flew out from their respective sects and landed in the arena.

"Big Brother Qiming is on the stage!"

Qin Qicheng watched the situation below with some nervousness.

"Don't worry, I see that Big Brother Qiming's aura is strong and his foundation is very solid. That Guan Chengxuan is no match for him."

Qin Qipeng's vision was still very good, and with his cultivation already at the Foundation Establishment stage, he could naturally see it at a glance.

"That's not for sure, maybe the other party has some good magic weapon?" Qin Qicheng was still a little worried.

In the arena.

Qin Qiming took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Tai Xuan Sect's Qin Qiming, asking for guidance from senior brother!"

The young man opposite also cupped his hands and smiled: "Junior brother, please!"

A formation rose from the edge of the arena, isolating it from the outside world, meaning that the competition officially began.

Qin Qiming moved at this instant. A crescent-shaped flying sword with a cyan glow emerged from the storage bag and hovered in front of him, buzzing and trembling.

Before coming to the Grand Competition, Qin Changqing specially met with Qin Qiming and told him not to use the things he gave him in the sect competition.

Qin Changqing's treasures all came from the female fairies of the Taiqing Sect, and it was easy to be recognized, which would be difficult to explain.

Qin Qiming also understood what his master meant. He wanted him to show his ability by his own strength, not to rely on external objects, and at the same time, treat these external objects as trump cards, not to expose them to outsiders, and use them desperately at critical moments.

Understanding this principle, Qin Qiming became more attentive in his swordsmanship. Now, he can exert super strength even with ordinary swords.

Qin Qiming didn't care about the gazes of the people around him. The flying sword in front of him suddenly split into three sword shadows, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and shot towards the opponent.

These water droplets instantly burst towards the three flying swords.

Two of the flying swords blurred for a moment before re-solidifying, but the real from the fake had been identified.

"Good!"

The disciples of the Bihai Sect under the stage shouted: "Senior Brother Guan is a water spirit root, and the water attribute between heaven and earth is simply a part of his body. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the power!"

"Break it for me!"

Guan Chengxuan changed the spirit art again, and the water droplets suddenly merged into one, condensing into a huge palm in mid-air, grabbing towards the real flying sword.

The corner of Qin Qiming's mouth suddenly curled up in a smile, and his hands quickly formed a seal: "Splitting Light - Reversal!"

I saw that the huge water current palm suddenly grasped, but it only grasped a ball of light and shadow.

"Not good!"

Guan Chengxuan's face changed drastically, but it was too late. The false flying sword that he had identified was suspended one inch from his eyebrows, and the sword light spitting out from the tip of the sword made his skin feel tingling.

Guan Chengxuan's face turned pale. Only then did he understand that he had been fooled. The one in front of him was the real flying sword. The previous test was just a deliberate illusion given to him by Qin Qicheng.

"Qin Qiming wins!"

The monk in charge of monitoring next to him shouted loudly, and then opened the formation barrier.

"Senior brother, you have given way!" Qin Qiming put away his flying sword and cupped his hands.

"Junior brother's swordsmanship is really amazing, I lost unfairly!"

Although Guan Chengxuan was a little unwilling, he still cupped his hands with great demeanor and stepped down from the stage.

Qin Qiming returned to the Tai Xuan Sect's side, and immediately attracted a burst of cheers.

"Junior Brother Qicheng, well done! You have brought glory to our Tai Xuan Sect!"

"It turns out that the Splitting Light Sword Technique can be used like this. Junior Brother Qiming, you have really opened my eyes!"

"Not bad!" The leading elder also had a smile on his face.

In the distance, Qin Qipeng and the other two also smiled and made a gesture of congratulations.

The competition went very smoothly. Each sect attached great importance to the sect competition, and the disciples they brought were all talented. Some disciples' competitions made the elders' eyes light up.

A month passed quickly, and the competition for the Qi Refining stage disciples came to an end, and the top ten disciples were selected.

Immediately afterwards, it was the competition for the Foundation Establishment stage disciples. Because they had better cultivation, the competition was even more exciting. Spiritual power rolled in the arena, and magic weapons flew around.

On the higher platform in the distance, the high-level officials of the Ten Great Sects were sitting.

"Fellow Daoist Chiyang, I heard that your sect has many talented female cultivators, and there are also several earth spirit roots, why haven't I seen any of them?"

Someone asked strangely.

The disciples who came out of the Taiqing Sect this time were not satisfactory, because many of their powerful female disciples did not participate in the competition.

Liu Qinghui explained with a smile: "It's also a coincidence. We just opened a secret realm suitable for female cultivators to practice in the past two years, so we sent them all in. After all, cultivation is the most important thing."

He shook his head as he spoke, looking regretful.

Qin Changqing's function is indeed no less than an opportunity.
