Although Wang Tiezhu was some distance away from the high platform, he could still see clearly the appearance of the sword held in his senior brother's arms by virtue of his far superior vision.
He was no stranger to this sword. When he first entered Que Yu Peak, he paid homage to this sword under the leadership of Zhou Huaying.
Yes, this is the sword that Huan Chenzun wore in his early years, the Spirit Sword Qingxiao.
Only a distant and deep bell was heard, and the entire Tianjian Square fell silent instantly, and someone shouted loudly.
"Please take your seat, Master!"
Then hundreds of disciples in the square bent down to salute and shouted loudly.
"Disciples welcome the master!"
Along with the shouts that broke through the sky, Zhou Huaying carefully placed the Qingxiao Sword on the sword stand of the middle table, then took a step back and stood behind the table.
After Qingxiao Sword, who represented Huanchen Zun, took his seat, the other four elders took their seats one after another.
"Elder Qin Ming didn't show up. Is it because he hasn't returned from Demon Suppression City yet?"
Wang Tiezhu looked at the empty chair and thought to himself.
After all the elders took their seats, another bell rang and Zhou Huaying shouted.
"Following the ancestral teachings of the Li Tianjian Sect, a sect competition will be held today! The purpose is to assess the abilities of our disciples. Below, we will announce the regulations for this sect competition..."
Listening to the various rules spoken by Zhou Huaying, Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly. Indeed, they were not very different from those in the jade slips.
But one of the major changes has been made, that is, participating disciples are not allowed to bring their own spiritual weapons, but all use the standard spirit swords and spirit armor provided by the sect, in order to increase the fairness of the competition.
After all, the spiritual weapons commonly used by some disciples just meet the regulations, but some can only use those provided by the sect.
As a result, there will be a big difference in proficiency between the two. It is precisely in order to eliminate this gap that the previous rules were changed.
After Zhou Huaying finished reading out the rules, he paused for a moment and then began to announce the awards for this sect competition.
"In this competition, there are three levels of rewards for each group. The first and second place winners will be rewarded with one Heart Sword Pill, two books of any level of earth-level spells, and one hundred high-level spiritual crystals.
Ranking three to five will be rewarded with one earth-grade elixir, one book of earth-grade mid-level spells, and fifty high-grade spiritual crystals. Sixth to tenth place will be rewarded with one bottle of mysterious pill and one book of low-level earth-grade spells.
, thirty high-grade spiritual crystals!”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a heated discussion among the disciples in the field. However, the content of their discussion was not the Heart Sword Pill, but the Earth Grade Magic!
"Earth-level magic! It's actually an earth-level magic!"
"Oh my God! I just did the math. There are seven groups in total in this competition. No one is participating in the Jade Desolate Realm and the Extreme Desolate Realm. According to what Senior Brother said, a total of eighty-four local-grade spells will be used!
"
"Eighty-four books? Does our sect have so many earth-level spells?"
"What are you talking about! There must be some! But being able to take out so much at one time shows that the real reserves are more than this!"
"Is this true? I feel like I'm dreaming! That's a ground-level spell! Even a low-level spell is extremely precious!"
Listening to the passionate discussions of the people around him, Wang Tiezhu in the corner touched his chin, feeling secretly proud of himself.
"Are you excited? Are you excited? Most of them are provided by me!"
Wang Tiezhu was not excited about the rewards for this sect competition. The main reason was that he saw too many good things, and these bread crumbs no longer aroused his interest.
Zhou Huaying looked at the excited people in the audience, smiled slightly, pressed his hands down, and the audience fell silent instantly.
"The above are the matters related to this sect competition. The specific content will be posted on the east side of the square later. If anyone has any questions, you can check it yourself..."
After saying that, he paused, glanced around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and continued to speak.
"In today's meeting, in addition to announcing the sect competition, there is also an extremely important decision to tell you. This matter is related to your future path, so I hope that when I announce it, please keep your
Calm down, otherwise you won’t blame me if you can’t hear me…”
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly saying that it was finally coming!
Although the other disciples had doubts on their faces, when they heard their senior brother say that what happened next was related to their path, they suppressed their doubts and waited quietly for his next words.
Zhou Huaying flicked his sleeve, and a formation plate appeared out of thin air, hanging above the high platform.
The array disk opened up in the wind and quickly transformed from the size of a palm to the size of a millstone, slowly rotating in the air, arousing the curiosity of everyone in the field.
"What is this? A formation disk?"
"Uh, yes, it is indeed a formation disk. Although you can't see the formation inscriptions on it, can something like this be real besides the formation disk?"
"How can a formation disk affect our path? Senior brother, are you kidding me?"
"What are you talking about? How has Senior Brother ever deceived us? Just wait quietly!"
Compared with the people who were confused, Wang Tiezhu's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.
"Sure enough, it's this. Senior brother is really good at hiding it, and he only took it out now..."
In the doubtful eyes of everyone, the formation disk in the air spun faster and faster, and then streams of spiritual energy gathered from the surroundings, hovering over the formation disk, turning into a whirlpool of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy vortex continues to rotate, attracting more and more spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy that was subsequently attracted gathered around the spiritual energy vortex and quickly became denser. This area was soon occupied by the spiritual energy droplets.
There was silence in the huge Tianjian Square, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was staring intently at the constantly rotating array plate above the high platform, feeling the rich spiritual energy emanating from it. However, those disciples who were closer to the high platform had already begun to silently operate their skills and determination, on the spot.
Start practicing!
After a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Huaying who was controlling the formation disk, eager to know what this formation disk was, and how it could gather spiritual energy to such a strong level?!
Feeling their eager and urgent eyes, Zhou Huaying smiled slightly and said slowly: "The formation engraved on this formation disk is the legendary Spirit Gathering Formation."
These plain words fell into the ears of all the disciples, but they were like a thunder, shocking them to the point where they didn't know how to react.
After a few breaths of silence, these disciples shouted loudly. They ignored Zhou Huaying's previous warning and vented their excitement in this way.
"Spirit Gathering Array! We have a Spirit Gathering Array! We have a Spirit Gathering Array!!!"
