Returning to Bailian Peak, Xu Chenglin directly hung up a sign at his residence not to be disturbed in seclusion. The people who came to collect the materials saw the reminder about the retreat and were confused and reported the matter to the master of Bailian Hall. Others

Maybe I don’t know why Xu Chenglin is in seclusion, but the monks above the Qi Condensation stage in the sect know something about it. The list of people to participate in the trial has been decided long ago, and every Qi Condensation monk knows this list clearly.

Master Zhou thought for a moment, then opened his mouth to explain to the visitor.

"Tell everyone at Bailian Hall not to disturb Xu Chenglin. As for the matter of the gold-selling platform, let's put it aside for the time being. Haven't we taken care of the gold-selling platform for such a long time? Let him go now. I hope he is here.

I think we can make some progress during this time.”

The disciple who came to report was a little confused, but he still accepted the order and left, passing the order to Bailian Hall. The other disciples of Bailian Hall were a little surprised after receiving the order, but since it was the order from the hall master, everyone would naturally go.

obey.

In this way, Xu Chenglin went into the longest retreat so far without being disturbed. Day after day, time disappeared like running water. The sect was as quiet as ever, until the deafening bells shook the sky.

It rang three times.

With a creak, the door of Xu Chenglin's retreat room opened to both sides. The door had not been opened for nearly half a year, and all the dust fell from the door due to the action of opening the door. Xu Chenglin, who was unaware of the moment, inhaled a large amount of dust and choked and coughed.

As time went by, my body was covered with dust.

"I was careless. I just came out of seclusion and didn't have time to do anything before I encountered this unlucky thing!"

Reaching out to disperse the dust, Xu Chenglin shook his shoulders, and a burst of spiritual energy cleared away the dust on his body. He stepped out of his residence and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

When the Sky-shaking Bell rings three times, the monks from all peaks in the sect gather at their respective peaks, with the Qi Condensation Stage monks taking the lead; when the Sky-shaking Bell rings six times, the monks from each peak in the sect gather at their respective peaks, with the monk Yuefan taking the lead; after the Nine-ring Ringing the Sky-shaking Bell

, then the sect monks will gather at the mountain gate, and Yue Fan and his fellow monks will come out. By analogy, the more bells ring, the more urgent the matter is.

Everyone on Bailian Peak gathered at the foot of the mountain, and the master of Bailian Hall came forward. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Master Zhou nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to take out a jade slip. Zhou Yun's face was a little solemn, and he stretched out his hand to call the bronze slip.

, handed him the jade slip in his hand. Gu Tong glanced at Zhou Yun, and then sank his consciousness into the jade slip.

After a few breaths, Gu Tong raised his head and looked at Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun didn't say anything, but nodded slightly. Gu Tong took a deep breath, and his face was a little solemn.

"Xu Chenglin, Wang Baichuan, and Chen Lu are staying, and everyone else should disperse!"

The monks were a little confused, but the matter had nothing to do with them, so they dispersed one after another. Xu Chenglin and the other three seemed to understand something, and their expressions were calm.

"The Dual Power Competition is approaching, are you three ready?"

The bronze gaze swept across the faces of the three people, with very solemn expressions.

"Yes! Ready!"

The three of them responded in unison, as if there was a tacit understanding.

"That's good, the three of you come with me, and I'll take you to gather at Missionary Peak."

Bronze turned around and walked down the mountain, and the three of them followed.

"Nothing is important. What is important is to come back safely..."

Zhou Yun looked at the three people leaving and murmured softly.

After hearing this, Gu Tong paused for a moment and took a deep look at the three of them. Xu Chenglin moved his eyes slightly and nodded, then raised his fists and saluted Zhou Yun. The other two were a little confused, but when they saw Xu Chenglin saluting, they also

Did the same thing.

"Go ahead, don't go late and let everyone wait."

Uncle Zhou nodded and waved his hand slowly.

"Master, please take care of yourself, I and the other four will go first!"

Bronze clasped his fists and led the three of them towards the Legend Peak.

On the top of Chuandao Peak, a magnificent stone hall stands towering. Outside the door of the hall, two ninth-level body-forging monks stand guarding the door. At this time, more than 20 people have gathered in the hall. Standing in front of these people are

The person who leads the way at each peak is the leader who sits at the head of the palace.

The leader Xiao Ziyue is a calm middle-aged man. The occasional sparkle in his eyes shows his extraordinary cultivation. The smile that is always on his face and the thinking gestures he makes from time to time give people a sense of unfathomable shrewdness.

feel.

The four of them came to Chuandao Peak together, climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the front of the main hall. Bing Bing took out the jade slip and handed it to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper looked at it briefly, then turned and walked into the main hall to report.

"Reporting to the master, the leader of Bailian Peak and the three registered monks are waiting outside the hall. Please make a decision, the master!"

The gatekeeper monk bowed and clasped his fists, and reported the matter to the headmaster.

"Let them in."

The gatekeeper disciple resigned from the hall, and not long after, Gu Tong brought Cheng Lin and the other three people to the main hall. Before the four people came to pay homage, the leader waved his hand slightly to indicate that everyone should not be too polite. Then he pointed with one hand to signal.

The four of them stood apart. They looked at the crowd, and then walked to their respective teams. After waiting quietly for a while, the gatekeeper went back and forth several times to report, and a few more people came in.

The leader sitting at the top glanced at the crowd and saw that most of them looked worried. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He coughed slightly and everyone's attention in the hall was attracted. The leader nodded and smiled.

He looked at everyone again.

"The Dual Power Contest is approaching. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have called you here with such great force. But I still have to talk about some things. I hope you won't find me verbose."

After Xiao Ziyue said something, there was a moment of pause. Although his tone was polite, the intimidating aura slowly came out. It was as if if anyone said one more word, the intimidating aura would come to him.

.

Everyone present remained silent and looked at each other. They didn't know whether the leader wanted people to talk or didn't want people to talk. Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Ziyue spoke next.

"Everyone in the sect says that the martial arts between the two powers is extremely dangerous, but I know this is not the case!"

As soon as Xiao Ziyue opened his mouth, all the disciples participating in the martial arts competition were a little confused. However, before they could express their doubts, Xiao Ziyue opened his mouth to explain again.

"The Dual Potential Martial Arts Competition arose more than 3,000 years ago. It was originally established to keep the cultivation inheritance of the two major sects on the mainland uninterrupted. Later, as the cultivation resources were consumed and could not be replenished, the trials evolved into a war for resources. Therefore,

Every trial always resulted in heavy casualties. The situation is different from usual now. Since the changes in the world and the agitation of spiritual energy, the practice world is no longer as resource-scarce as before. Since resources are no longer scarce, there is no need to continue this battle for resources.

.So, I guess this dual-power showdown is more like a formality."

The headmaster's words of explanation and comfort made all the disciples in the hall heave a sigh of relief.

"Hey, it turns out that's what happened. It made me nervous for a long time..."

"Who says it's not the case? If it weren't for the Barrier-Breaking Pill, I wouldn't have come..."

Listening to the sporadic discussions among the disciples below, a meaningful smile appeared on the leader's face. Then the smile faded, and his expression became unpredictable again.

"Having said that, don't be careless. After all, you represent Jiuhua Academy and the leading sect in Beicang Continent!"

The headmaster's words instantly suppressed the sporadic chatter. The hall seemed very quiet for a moment, but a heroic momentum was quietly emerging.

Looking at this scene, the leader had a smile on his face again. In just a few words, the effect he wanted was achieved.

Every previous Dual Potential Martial Arts Competition has been extremely dangerous. Even though the competition this time is not as fierce as in the past, it will not be much better. His words of comfort are just to inspire the confidence of the disciples. The warrior is not yet

Okay, ambition is gone first, this is not a good sign.

"The sect does not lack resources, but it is just that the sect is the leading sect on Beicang Continent after all, and the results obtained cannot be too bad. The sect will not steal the resources obtained from you, but I still recommend that you exchange for the sect after you come back.

Contribution. I have only two requirements for this trip: first, to obtain as many resources as possible; second, to come back safely without being embarrassed!"

Strive for as many resources as possible, don't lose face and come back safely. No one wants the disciples they have trained to intentionally die. The two requirements may seem random, but they actually contain the master's care for his disciples.

The two seemingly unintentional requests penetrated deeply into the hearts of the disciples, who subconsciously bowed and saluted their master.

"I will obey the master's orders!"

"You should wait outside Lingxian Peak first. I will make my own arrangements later."

Everyone exited the main hall and walked towards Lingxian Peak. The periphery of Lingxian Peak was shrouded in a thin layer of flowing colored light, and everyone waited quietly outside the colored light. After a while, a golden light came from the head of the hall.

The direction went directly into Lingxian Peak. The colored light on the periphery of Lingxian Peak made a gap for the golden light, and then the gap in the flow of colored light disappeared.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, the colorful light in front of everyone parted to both sides, and a long-haired young man wearing a red and white shirt walked out. Everyone was shocked when they saw the young man's clothes.

"White shirt on a red background! Reach the third level of cultivation! Beyond ordinary cultivation!"

"I've met Master!"

"I've met Master..."

After a busy period of worship, everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads easily.

"Okay, there aren't so many rules, let's all get up."

A gentle voice sounded, and everyone dared to raise their heads.

Although the voice of the long-haired young man in front of everyone was full of vicissitudes of life, his face was very young.

Looking at the young man in front of them, and then recalling the young man's voice, everyone's minds were instantly filled with a few words.

"Rejuvenate your youth and keep your appearance forever!"

"Are these the people participating in this dual-power competition? Yes, yes!"

Looking at the many disciples, the long-haired boy nodded. But then his eyes seemed a little blurred, and he seemed to be mumbling something.

All the guides looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all speechless.

"What happened to this master? Why did he suddenly become distracted?"

Although they were murmuring in their hearts, there was no change at all on their faces. After nearly a cup of tea, the long-haired boy suddenly burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, all good! It has been more than six hundred years since I thought about the two-power struggle. Six hundred years ago, we did not embarrass the sect. Six hundred years later, you must work hard and don't embarrass the sect.

!”

Although the sound was not loud, it was like thunder on a sunny day to everyone's ears.

"I will obey my master's orders!"

Everyone bowed and responded in unison, and then the deafening noise in their ears stopped.

"According to the leader's estimation, this trial is less dangerous than previous ones. But for your safety, the leader has made an exception. Come with me."

The long-haired young man took out a jade slip and shook it at the colored light. The colored light opened a door that allowed the two of them to pass through. The young man ducked in and the other disciples followed him and rushed in.
