Chapter 28 Sect Competition
With the sound of 9981 melodious bells, the six-year sect competition finally kicked off at the tenth hour of September.
The venue of the sect competition was set up at Chaoxiantai in Yantai Ridge, facing the magnificent main hall in the middle. This is the center of the entire Taiji Sect.
Chaoxiantai covers a large area and can accommodate 10,000 people at the same time. The ground was originally paved with white jade mixed with bluestone, polished as smooth as a mirror. In order to cope with the sect competition, eight magic arrays were added to prevent the ground from being damaged by the magic power when the foundation-building cultivators fight.
If you look from mid-air, Chaoxiantai is divided into eight large areas according to the Qiankun Bagua, and eight competitions can be held at the same time.
At this moment, Chaoxiantai is full of people, arranged according to the positions of the five sects and four halls, and everyone looks solemn. Shi Feng also stood behind Zhou Qing and before Xiangjun.
He had no objection to the fact that he, a man without magical power, had to participate in the sect competition. He didn't want any ranking reward anyway. At most, he would be tied up like last time in Wulong Valley when Gao Tuo offered the Red Dragon Whip.
He thought the competition would start in the morning, but it turned out not to be the case. The tenth day of September was the birthday of the ancestor Taiji Zhenren, and a ceremony to worship the ancestors had to be held first. Therefore, at this moment, there were far more than the inner disciples of the five sects at Chaoxiantai. In addition to patrolling and guarding, the outer disciples of the four outer halls also gathered at Chaoxiantai. The seven major families and various small and medium-sized sects under the jurisdiction of Taiji Sect also sent people to participate. For a while, the entire Chaoxiantai was dark, and there were probably thousands of people.
Among the crowd, the inner disciples wore green robes, and the outer disciples wore black robes. Although there were no clothing requirements for other foundation-building cultivators, golden elixir-stage ancestors, and people from other sects, since they were participating in the ancestor worship ceremony, they naturally dressed solemnly.
Taiji Sect has a total of 16 Jindan ancestors, among which the sect leader of Yantai Ridge has the most, with a total of five people; since the death of Danyang Taoist, Tiejian Peak has only two Jindans, Dao Chong and Zhao Tianhu; Fentian Peak and Diecui Peak each have three Jindan ancestors; Huiyan Peak also has two Jindan ancestors; the inner five sects have a total of 15 Jindan cultivators, and except for Gan Chu Zhenren of the Refining Hall, the hall masters of the other three halls of the outer four halls are not Jindan cultivators, and each is presided over by a foundation-building cultivator. The outer four halls are actually subordinate halls of the sect leader's branch. Of course, the Refining Hall is a separate hall because of Zhenren Gan Chu.
The elders' council of Taiji Sect originally had only five people, namely the chairmen of the inner five sects, and later Zhenren Gan Chu of the Refining Hall was added, making it six people. The sect leader Xuanyi Zhenren thought that when encountering major events, six people would be an even number and it would be difficult to vote, so he decided to elect another person. As a result, another Jindan cultivator Xuanming from Yantai Ridge also joined the elders' council.
In addition, it is said that Taiji Sect has a Yuanying ancestor, but the disciples have never seen him. Yuanying cultivators are already powerful enough to participate in the creation of heaven and earth. Yuanying can become a body outside the body and travel thousands of miles. Some disciples have been practicing for 150 or 60 years, but have never seen this Yuanying ancestor. Even on such a grand day as the ancestor worship ceremony today, he has not appeared.
At this moment, the first row of the crowd is the seven elders, the second row is the other Jindan ancestors, the third row is the foundation-building cultivators of various sects, and then the inner disciples, and the outer disciples are arranged in order of entry. People from the family and affiliated sects stand in the VIP seats on both sides.
It was the first time that Shi Feng saw the head of Taiji Sect. He was tall and had a rosy face. He looked to be only about 50 years old. But this is definitely not his real age. As long as the cultivator successfully builds the foundation, the Dantian is stable, and the blood and qi are transformed into spirit, his face will be forever stable. Of course, this does not mean that Xuanyi Zhenren successfully built his foundation at the age of fifty. As long as he has passed the foundation building stage, it is up to the cultivator's own preferences. He can keep his face forever or let it change with the years.
However, even if the cultivator allows his face to age, because the cultivator's life span is much longer than that of ordinary people, his face will age much slower than that of ordinary people.
In the world of cultivation, the true age of a cultivator is determined by his appearance. It is okay for disciples in the Qi Refining stage, but it is impossible to guess for those above the foundation building stage. Some female cultivators cherish their faces. Once they have built their foundation, their faces and skin will be forever. Even when they die, they are still beauties in their twenties or thirties. Some cultivators, because they hold important positions, let their appearance change with the years and become old people in order to maintain their prestige.
At this moment, Xuanyi Zhenren stood in the middle, his voice like a bell, and he was reading the ancestral text loudly. The text described the achievements of the founder and the heads of each sect, and prayed for the ancestors of all generations to protect Taiji Sect. This article took more than an hour to finish. After that, they left the main hall and performed the ancestral worship ceremony, which took a whole morning to finish.
In the afternoon, the competition officially began. The competition was held between inner disciples. Therefore, at this time, only inner disciples were left on the Chaoxiantai, and the guests who watched the ceremony in the morning had left.
Before the competition, Xuanming Zhenren read out the competition rules. He was quite tall, with a half-foot long beard under his chin, which was black and shiny.
The rules of the sect competition and the small competition of the same sect are generally similar, but there are also differences. The competition is divided into rounds. More than a thousand inner disciples are randomly drawn and matched. Half of them are eliminated in the first round. The second round is re-drawn, and half are eliminated again after the end; this cycle continues until the final first place is determined.
But this kind of competition obviously has loopholes. Because it is a random draw, if the second strongest disciple meets the strongest disciple in the first round, then this disciple will be eliminated directly, which will be a big loss for the second strongest disciple. Therefore, in addition to the elimination round, there are three challenge opportunities.
The first challenge is after the second round, because disciples who have passed the second round are eligible to enter the trial place. Therefore, after the second round, all the eliminated disciples can challenge the disciples who won the first two rounds at will. This ensures that the disciples who enter the trial place are all those who have achieved magical powers.
The second challenge is after the sixth round. Anyone who is eliminated after the third round can challenge the previous winner at will. This is because the top twenty disciples in the competition have extra rewards and can enter the Spirit-washing Pool to practice for a month. There is a spiritual spring in the Spirit-washing Pool. The spring water is green. It is said that the skin feels like being burned by fire when soaking, but after holding on, It can greatly improve physical strength.
The third challenge is the championship challenge. After the champion is determined, the top ten disciples who are dissatisfied can go on the stage to challenge the champion.
Master Xuan Ming read the rules one by one. Among them, the restrictions on fighting were much broader than those of Xiao Bi. Even unintentionally hurting people to death was not considered a violation of the rules. This also made all the disciples be careful. On weekdays, it is inevitable for disciples of various sects to fight openly and secretly, and some even have deep grudges. If the other party secretly kills them, or begs their fellow disciples to deliberately challenge them, and take the opportunity to strike hard, then Baoding himself will be seriously injured, his cultivation level will be reduced, and he may even die. call.
On the afternoon of the first day, except Changqing, the other seven members of Liu Yunzi's sect had no competition. Shi Feng wandered around.
Each of the eight arenas has a foundation-building monk as the presiding referee. Unlike Xiao Bi, this referee only judges the outcome and does not comment on the competition.
The eight arenas are of the same size. They are all Tai Chi diagrams with a radius of ten feet. If the opponent is forced out of the circle, it will automatically result in a loss. In addition to voluntarily admitting defeat and leaving the circle, even if one party is seriously injured and falls to the ground, the referee will You can't take the initiative to judge the loss.
Eight competitions were held at the same time. Although there were more than 500 competitions in the first round, they actually went very quickly. Some disciples on the first and second levels of Qi Refining were unlucky and met the senior brothers on the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining in the draw. I took the initiative to admit defeat at the last station and then changed to the second group.
In one arena, no hands were used at all, and five or six games had already been played in just a cup of tea. Of course, there are also some arenas where two disciples of equal strength happen to be fighting endlessly.
Shi Feng walked all the way. He knew nothing about martial arts and magical powers. His main interest was in the magical weapons used by everyone. After walking around, he saw many strange and strange magical weapons, which was eye-opening.
An hour later, Shi Feng returned to the Xunzi Arena. This was the arena where the Evergreen Competition was about to start. When Shi Feng started, he was taught by Chang Qing. Although the senior brother was nagging, he was warm and funny, and Shi Feng was very close to him.
After a while, Zhang Yuanqing and other senior brothers also rushed over, and it was finally Chang Qing's turn to appear.
Changqing's opponent was a disciple from the head branch of Yantailing. The head branch had the most disciples, accounting for half of the entire sect. Therefore, the vast majority of the onlookers came to cheer this disciple on.
This disciple was about thirty years old, with a yellow face and a stern expression. Chang Qing also put away his usual playful smile and had a solemn look on his face. The two of them bowed to each other, and the presiding Foundation Establishment cultivator went through the usual routine and asked first, "Is there anyone willing to admit defeat?" Seeing that neither of them spoke, the Foundation Establishment cultivator waved his hand and said, "Let's get started."
The yellow-faced man was a disciple at the eighth level of Qi Refining. He also knew Chang Qing and knew that the other party was a disciple at the ninth level of Qi Refining at Iron Sword Peak. He didn't dare to neglect him. As soon as he came up, he took out Zhang Fuzhuan and stuck it on his body, creating a yellow mist. The spiritual energy immediately formed several inches of light crystals on his body, and someone whispered, "It's an earth shield talisman, and I'm really willing to spend money on it."
He had just set up a shield here, but Chang Qing had already taken action over there. He was holding out an iron pen, and the tip of the pen was like a sharp spear, piercing straight towards it. The yellow-faced man hesitated for a moment, but decided to forcefully connect the weapon. There was a soft bang, and the spiritual light scattered. The yellow-faced man shook a few times, but still stood firm, but the yellow light on his body had dimmed a bit.
He screamed secretly, waved his right hand, and a lizard-like monster as big as a millstone flew out of the storage bag. The monster lizard crawled on all fours and suddenly opened its mouth, its long tongue curled towards Changqing. Changqing had already blessed himself with the lightness technique, and he flew into the air as soon as he stepped down. He flipped the stylus and stabbed at the yellow-faced man again.
The yellow-faced man no longer dared to accept the attack forcefully, so he took out a throwing knife, muttered something, hovered the knife, and held the stylus. In a moment, he had used up all his shields, spiritual pets and magic weapons, but Changqing over there was still just a stylus. He did not use other means. He relied on his own magic power to be much higher than the opponent. The stylus was like Stabs like a violent storm.
The yellow-faced man was at a disadvantage and was on the defensive at the beginning. He was on the ground and used the Earth Shield Technique, so he couldn't fly into the air at all. Although he had a pet beast, the beast couldn't fly either, so he could only raise his head to watch the excitement. The yellow-faced man changed three or four magical weapons in succession, but none could stop Changqing's stylus.
Finally, there was a loud noise, and three or four magic weapons were smashed to the ground. The iron pen was stabbed on the shield of the yellow-faced man again. As time passed, the surface of the earthen shield dimmed a lot. After being stabbed by the iron pen again, that The yellow-faced man couldn't stand upright, so he took a dozen steps back and was already outside the Tai Chi circle.
The Foundation Establishment monk who presided over the referee had no expression on his face and immediately announced, "Iron Sword Peak disciple Chang Qing wins!"
Changqing landed on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "I accept it." Shi Feng and other junior brothers and sisters immediately cheered, "Senior brother is awesome!" "Senior brother is mighty."
All the disciples in Yantailing sneered. The yellow-faced man turned pale, but after all, there was still a challenge ahead. He cupped his fists and said, "I'm not as good as others, there's nothing to say." He turned around and left.
That night, all the disciples returned to Yuxiu Mountain to celebrate Changqing's victory. After the celebration banquet, all the disciples dispersed. At the last moment, Changqing pulled Shi Feng and asked him to adopt the tactic of wandering around tomorrow, and never fight hard, and he must hold on until the tenth breath.
Facing the teachings of the eldest brother, Shi Feng naturally nodded repeatedly, but he didn't understand why he had to hold on until the tenth breath.
The next morning, Shi Feng was assigned to the Kun-shaped large and small arena. He was originally in the fifth group of the competition, and it should have been his turn to play in the morning. Who knew that the two opponents who appeared in the second round were equally powerful, and they couldn't tell the winner after fighting for an hour. The two of them were exhausted, sat on the ground and swallowed pills, and then continued to fight. In the end, one person had more pills and won.
Because the pair of players delayed for too long, Shi Feng's competition was postponed to the afternoon. In the morning competition, only the second disciple Zhang Yuanqing of Liu Yunzi won, while others such as Xiangjun, Xianghua, Zhou Qing and others all lost. Liu Yunzi's face suddenly became gloomy, and the disciples did not dare to speak when they saw him.
In the third match in the afternoon, the foundation-building cultivator who presided over the referee shouted, "Shi Feng, a disciple of Tiejian Peak, will fight Ling Yun, a disciple of Huiyan Peak"
