Tian Zhiyu, the Tian family's genius with good looks, was waiting quietly aside, listening carefully to the teachings of the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Shen Mo is very powerful. This time he invites you to fight, are you sure you can beat him?"
The middle-aged man's voice was as gentle as jade and he slowly asked.
The person who can make Tian Zhiyu treat him with such respect is naturally none other than... This person is Tian Zhaoquan, the ancestor of the Tian Clan's Immortal Clan and the master of Linjiang Sect's Immortal Affairs Hall.
Although Tian Zhaoquan is Tian Zhiyu's great-grandfather, when they stand together, they look like a father and son.
"..."
Tian Zhiyu was cryptic and complicated and did not reply immediately.
After thinking for a while, he mused: "This Junior Brother Shen is indeed not an ordinary person!"
"Before the Linghai was opened, the third grandfather Tian Qisheng fought against him and was defeated by him."
"Now, this person has also entered the realm of the spiritual sea!"
"If it were someone else, Zhiyu would be confident that he could easily defeat an early-stage spiritual sea realm person."
"It's just..."
As soon as he said this, Tian Zhaoquan understood that he did not have absolute certainty or confidence in meeting this most outstanding descendant among his great-grandchildren.
……
The news that Shen Mo invited Tian Zhiyu to fight for the title of core disciple has spread throughout Linjiang Sect...
This person is a person who has become famous in the past two years. He has achieved many extraordinary achievements and is extremely dazzling.
The other person came from a wealthy family of the Immortal Clan, entered the Spiritual Sea Realm early, and stayed in the position of core disciple for many years. Although he is the last one, his strength cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, when Shen Mo found Zhou Shili, the leader of Star Peak, and proposed starting a battle for the throne, the entire Star Peak was alarmed.
Then the news quickly spread throughout the sect's top brass, Rising Sun Peak, Mingyue Peak and the entire inner sect.
Even many well-informed outer disciples have heard about this matter to some extent!
It didn't take long for the sect's senior leaders to make a decision and set the date for the competition seven days later, allowing the challenger a certain amount of time to prepare.
As for the location, it was arranged in the Linjiang Mountains according to past rules.
As soon as the news was confirmed, many disciples who were out training, slaying demons, and performing tasks rushed back to the sect as much as possible, as long as there was no urgent matter at hand, hoping to witness this battle.
In particular, the person involved, Tian Zhiyu, was recently summoned back by the sect while earning merit in slaying demons at the Black Mountain battlefield near the Ghost Kingdom ruins.
Let’s not mention the other eight core seats, which are already inside the mountain gate.
Those who came down the mountain also dealt with the matters at hand and hurriedly returned to their sects.
Except for the core chief, second seat, and fifth seat, the remaining five people are either already in Linjiang Sect or on their way back.
Shen Mo did not reveal his intention to invite successive battles in advance.
After all, no matter whether you are in the Linjiang Sect or not, you must allow a certain amount of time after submitting an invitation to compete for the seat.
It not only facilitates his recovery, but also facilitates the core disciples who are being challenged to prepare in advance.
However, the core disciples of Linjiang Sect also have their own ideas.
Among the nine people, the leader is at the pinnacle of the Spiritual Sea Realm, and the second is at the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, which puts the others down.
The remaining seven core members, including the third seat Yu Yan, are all strong men in the early and middle stages of the Linghai realm. The gap in strength between them is not too big!
Even after Shen Mo defeated Tian Zhiyu, he had no intention of inviting another fight...
If they can see their methods with their own eyes, they will be well aware of it when the core seats are re-determined two years later!
Of course, the pressure on the core members of the eighth seat and above is not as great as that of Tian Zhiyu, who is the ninth seat.
Even if Shen Mo Rui is unstoppable, fighting several people in a row and rising to a higher position...the loser will only drop one seat, unlike Tian Zhiyu, who will be directly taken away from the core position and can only be transferred to the sect elder! p>
Then again, who told Tian Zhiyu to fall to the last seat when the seats were arranged last time?
The battle for the throne needs to be witnessed by the senior leaders of the sect.
Therefore, Tian Zhaoquan, the master of the Immortal Service Hall, was also the first monk in the sect to know the news.
As soon as Tian Zhiyu returned to Linjiang Sect, he called him to the Immortal Service Hall.
However, this descendant's answer did not satisfy Tian Zhaoquan.
"Honger Tianhong's original decision may have been right!"
"It's a pity that his abilities are mediocre and his methods are not ruthless enough. A series of actions not only failed to suppress Shen Mo, but also caused him to have conflicts with my Tian family!"
"Not long after he was promoted to the spiritual sea realm, he couldn't wait to start a battle for the throne..."
"It should be that Yuan Chengshan may have died, and the core seats of the sect will change. The intention is to kick you out of the core seats before then."
Tian Zhaoquan's tone was still calm and gentle, without any anger or irritation.
He has been in a high position for a long time and has seen many storms. Even the death of his parents and children has never moved him, let alone the future of his descendants in Linjiang Sect.
However, a person like him, once he has his mind set, will naturally do his best to make things develop in the direction he wants.
After a pause, Tian Zhaoquan took out three spiritual objects from the top-grade Qiankun bag.
A needle-shaped magic weapon.
It is as thin as an ox hair, and the tip of the needle shines with a cold blue light.
"This is a low-grade spiritual weapon, the Ruyi Soul-Seizing Needle. You will be able to refine it skillfully in seven days."
"When the time comes, you only need to sacrifice this treasure to break Chen Mo's protective magical weapon."
Tian Zhaoquan said calmly.
This soul-seizing needle is not an ordinary magic weapon, but a low-grade spiritual weapon that gave birth to spiritual wisdom.
The power is very extraordinary, specially designed to defeat the monks' protective means.
It is difficult for magic weapons, magical arts and even powerful bodies to provide effective protection in front of this weapon.
Once this needle touches the enemy's flesh, it will continue to swim under the control of the weapon spirit, along the flesh and blood chakras, and reach the opponent's heart orifice.

At that time, life or death will depend on the owner of the magic weapon.
A high-level talisman.
The light is restrained and the appearance is inconspicuous.
But it is a fifth-grade flame domain talisman that, when activated with spiritual power, will form a monstrous fire field. Its power is enough to burn mountains and boil seas, and can even threaten the peak monks of the spiritual sea realm.
There is no fourth-grade talisman maker in the entire Linjiang Sect. Tian Zhaoquan must have obtained this talisman from somewhere else.
A piece of spiritual silk inner armor.
This object is the same as Chen Mo's Ruixue inner armor, which is made from the silk of the six-winged snow silkworm.
The only difference lies in the shape, amount of materials used, inner inscriptions, etc. The current silk inner armor has also reached the Xuan level and is no worse than the inner armor worn by Shen Mo.
Of these three spiritual objects, the most valuable is naturally the Ruyi Soul Seizing Needle.
Even though Tian Zhaoquan is the master of the Immortal Service Hall, he doesn't have many spiritual weapons on his body. To reward Tian Zhiyu with one at this time shows his high expectations.
The other two pieces are also extremely valuable, both of which are valuable but have no market.
If Tian Zhiyu obtains these three treasures, his combat power will immediately soar, and he will be much more certain of retaining his core seat.
"Zhiyu...thank you ancestor for the generous reward!"
Tian Zhiyu knelt on the ground, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully took over the Ruyi Soul Seizing Needle, the fifth-grade Flame Realm Talisman and the Spirit Silk Inner Armor.
