Venerable Yuan

The loud chime of the bell echoed in Cangxuan Sect, and countless disciples raised their heads at this moment, casting slightly shocked gazes in the direction of Saint Origin Peak.

Because they all know how big a deal this is for Cangxuan Sect...

Saint Origin Peak was opened by the ancestors back then, and it contains huge cultivation resources. However, it is difficult to see the light of day due to the perennial seal. But now that the mountain gate is reopened, it may not be long before the power of Saint Origin Peak will also It has been strengthened again, which can be regarded as enhancing the overall strength of Cangxuan Sect.

However, what shocked many disciples even more was the person who caused this incident... Zhou Yuan.

Although Zhou Yuan's strength in the battle for chief was amazing, most of the disciples were still not optimistic about him passing the trial and reopening the mountain gate.

Nothing else, it's just that this matter is too difficult.

So when the final result appeared before their eyes, many disciples were so shocked and unbelievable.

Who would have thought that this disciple who had just entered Cangxuan Sect for only a year would be able to accomplish such feats.

After all, only a few peak masters of the Cangxuan Sect had accomplished the feat of opening the mountain gate. Although Zhou Yuan only reopened the mountain gate, it was quite shocking.

Zhou Yuan was able to do something that so many chief disciples of Saint Origin Peak could not do in the past, which is enough to illustrate his level of excellence.

After this incident, his status in Cangxuan Sect may have surpassed other chiefs, and even caught up with the ten saint sons.

...

Snow Lotus Peak.

On the top of a peak, Li Qingchan stood tall and graceful. With her cold and beautiful face, she looked at the jade light rising from the sky on Shengyuan Peak in the distance. There was also a look of surprise on her cheeks.

"This guy actually did it." Li Qingchan murmured, and her beautiful eyes were a little complicated. She was watching how fast Zhou Yuan was progressing this year.

This guy is like a sponge, frantically absorbing the surrounding seawater, constantly enriching himself, and no difficulties or obstacles seem to be able to stop him.

That kind of resilience even Li Qingchan was slightly shocked.

She had previously felt that it was a bit incredible that someone as outstanding as Yaoyao was willing to follow Zhou Yuan, because in her opinion, someone as outstanding as Yaoyao did not seem to be on the same level as Zhou Yuan.

No matter how she looked at it, Zhou Yuan couldn't match Yaoyao.

Therefore, she always felt a pity for the two of them, like flowers and cow dung. However, over the past year, Zhou Yuan had surprised her many times, which made her have a slightly different view.

Perhaps, what Yaoyao is optimistic about is the potential that Zhou Yuan possesses.

...

Jianlaifeng.

In the stone pavilion, three figures sat opposite each other.

"This kid really has some skills." Kong Sheng frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Saint Origin Peak and said slowly.

Zhao Zhu looked a little unhappy. He had said before that it was impossible for Zhou Yuan to make Saint Origin Peak reopen its gates. Unexpectedly, this guy actually did it.

Next to the two of them, there was the newly promoted chief disciple of Jianlai Peak, Baili Che.

At this time, he was also looking in that direction, frowning. As the chief of Jianlai Peak, Baili Che actually always treated Zhou Yuan with some condescension.

Because in his opinion, the leader among the puppies and kittens competing for the title in Saint Origin Peak was not qualified to be ranked alongside them.

Even though Yuan Hong's strength was acceptable, Baili Che still had the confidence to suppress him. After all, he had always done this in the past at Jianlai Peak.

Therefore, he seemed a little unconcerned about Zhou Yuan, the chief of Saint Origin Peak.

But now that Zhou Yuan has suddenly caused such a big thing, in terms of reputation, it actually surpasses the chiefs of other peaks, including him, the chief of Jianlai Peak.

This made Baili Che feel a little uncomfortable.

"Senior Brother Zhao Zhu, don't worry, that Zhou Yuan must be just lucky." Baili Che looked at Zhao Zhu and said.

Zhao Zhu looked gloomy and said: "This boy has caused such huge losses to our Jianlai Peak this time. Even the peak master has been secretly angry many times. He is really annoying. I think he should be punished."

"Senior Brother Kong Sheng, what do you think?" He looked at Kong Sheng and asked.

Kong Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said calmly: "Teaching these junior brothers how to be humble is indeed what we, the senior brothers, should do."

He lightly tapped the table with his finger and said, "This year's Source Pond Festival should be about to begin, right?"

When Zhao Zhu and Baili Che heard this, their eyes lit up.

The so-called Source Pond Festival is naturally related to the Source Pond. Originally, only purple belt disciples could enter the Source Pond in Cangxuan Sect every two months. Ordinary disciples could only look out with envy, or wait outside the Source Pond. , pitifully absorbing some of the leaked pure source energy.

There are exceptions.

Every year at the beginning of the year, the sect will completely open the source pool, and there are no restrictions. Disciples of any level can enter it and get an opportunity as a reward for the sect's one-year hard work.

This is the so-called Source Pond Festival.

However, there are rules for the Source Pond Festival. You do not enter in the name of an individual, but you must enter the Source Pond as a whole from each peak to obtain the dragon source marrow.

When the Origin Pond Festival is over, each peak will hand over the harvested Dragon Origin Essence, and the sect will give it a rating. Finally, all disciples of each peak will be given different Origin Essence baptisms based on the ratings.

As the Seven Peaks disciples enter the Source Pool, disputes are inevitable due to the huge scale. The senior leaders of the sect do not prohibit these disputes. After all, healthy competition also has a sharpening effect on the cultivation among the disciples.

Kong Sheng looked at Zhao Zhu and the two of them, then looked at the Holy Origin Peak in the distance, and said with a faint smile: "In the past, the disciples of the Holy Origin Peak paid what percentage of their final harvest to me, Jian Lai Peak?"

"It's only 20%. In previous years, it was for the sake of Lu Hong's lineage that we only collected 20% as protection fee." Zhao Zhu said with a smile.

Whenever there is a Source Pond Festival, the sect will activate the Source Dragon Veins, and the dragon energy in the Source Pond will surge, which will naturally give birth to more and stronger water beasts. This will be a big challenge for each peak.

Fortunately, there are saint sons stationed at each peak. If they encounter a large number of water beasts, they can still deal with them.

The only exception is Saint Origin Peak.

Saint Origin Peak is the weakest and has the fewest people. Participating in the Origin Pond Festival in previous years was a joke. If you were not careful, you would be surrounded by water beasts and lose your qualifications. So later, Saint Origin Peak learned the wisdom and asked other peaks to help. And they harvested the last dragon source marrow and moistened it. In fact, the most unpleasant thing to say was that they had to pay protection fees and find someone to protect them.

Speaking of this matter, it was also a joke within the sect.

And it just so happened that in previous years, Saint Origin Peak was looking for Jianlai Peak.

"Twenty percent..."

Kong Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said casually: "Then tell them that this year, our Jianlai Peak will take 50%."

Baili Che laughed and said: "Saint Origin Peak's morale is at its peak now, and there is a chief disciple. I'm afraid they won't agree."

Kong Sheng smiled slightly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"If this is the case, then they are counting on the chief disciple to show off his power..."

"The water in this Source Pond Festival is quite deep. I'm afraid that the chief they have high hopes for will not be able to handle the big task..."
