Chapter 16 The Great Competition of Outer Sects (1)
The water of Mianjiang River is as white as cotton, with endless waves reaching to the sky. It is more than 100 meters in the narrow part and more than 2,000 meters in the wide part. It runs through the Dongchen territory and is a famous river in the Dongchen territory.
There is a pavilion on the edge of a section of Mianjiang River. It is called Mianjiang Tower. It is a restaurant. The owner of the restaurant is also a famous person among casual practitioners, Jiang Baichuan, who is known as the Fenjiang Sword.
However, Jiang Baichuan is not in the restaurant now, but is practicing in Mianjiang section.
The restaurant was overcrowded, and most of them were casual cultivators. It can be said that Mianjiang Restaurant is the restaurant that casual cultivators like to come to most.
"The Qingyun Sect's outer sect competition is about to begin. Which one of you has been invited?" the big man carrying a copper stick said in a loud voice.
"I would like to be invited, but unfortunately I'm not qualified." Others nearby sighed, feeling a little frustrated.
Qingyun Sect is one of the four four-star forces in Dongchen Realm. It is very powerful. Being invited also represents a kind of recognition.
The vast majority of casual cultivators have some degree of inferiority, especially when facing sects. They actually want to become sect disciples, have a complete way of cultivation, and get cultivation resources, etc.
Many casual cultivators are actually very miserable. They often become the target of sect disciples to brush their reputation, and are often challenged by higher-ranking officials.
"I thought Tieguaisou might get an invitation."
"I haven't been invited yet, so I'm not sure." said an old man not far away. Although he was old, he was full of energy. There was a black tiger-head iron crutch beside him.
"I know if I can get the invitation 100%, I will divide the rivers and rivers."
"He can separate Mianjiang with one sword. If he is not qualified for such strength, then who is qualified?"
A sword separates the Mianjiang River, which is the origin of the sword that divides the river from Baichuan. However, it separates a section of the river that is 100 meters wide, and it cannot be done with a wider section of the river.
"I wonder who can get into the top ten in the competition this time?" The topic changed to the Qingyun Sect's external sect competition.
"I think it is very possible that the current disciples of the outer sect will be among the top ten."
"Yes, I also estimate that the top ten in the competition will be dominated by the top ten disciples of the current outer sect. The difference is only in ranking."
"I'm optimistic about Zhang Tiekuang, who is known as a swordsman. He is very skilled in both sword and sword skills, and he can use them at the same time. He is even more terrifying. He is the number one candidate."
"Ye Xijun is also very powerful. To be ranked second as a woman, his talent must be better than Zhang Tiekuang's."
"No need to guess, I'm sure that the first place in the competition will definitely be Yang Chaofan."
"Yang Chaofan, I've heard of him. It's said that he was born in an ordinary family, the son of a farmer, but he was born extraordinary. He easily joined the Qingyun Sect and made rapid progress in his cultivation. Since he became the first disciple of the outer sect two years ago, he has
Never been shaken."
"I wonder what talent this Yang Chaofan has?"
"Personal talents are hidden trump cards that cannot easily be known to others. However, in this external sect competition, there may be someone who can force him to use them."
"Some time ago, I saw a disciple of the Qingyun Sect's outer sect storming into Lianjiang Village with a single sword and killing more than a hundred people in Lianjiang Village."
"who?"
Everyone was shocked. Lianjiang Village is a gang in a certain section of Mianjiang. The leader of Dazhai is a master of the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The leader of the Second Village and the leader of the Third Village are both masters of the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. In addition, there are many
The feeling of being in the middle stage of foundation building realm.
"Evil Blood Sword Unit Dragon."
"It's him!" Exclaims suddenly sounded.
"Union Dragon is a rising star. It is said that he will be listed as the morning star of our Dongchen realm."
"Speaking of Morning Star, there are indeed several rising stars with Morning Star qualifications emerging this year, such as Lu Zhenlei and Guan Hanxue from Beichen Villa, Shen Nian from Zi Yao Sect, Liu Yuanqing from Tianluo Valley..."
The topic was originally about the Qingyun Sect's outer sect competition, but it got twisted as it went on, getting further and further away. However, this is also the normal behavior of casual cultivators. In addition to practicing and taking risks, they just chatted with other casual cultivators. Talking about all kinds of experiences and experiences, it’s all over the place.
…
Tomorrow is the Qingyun Sect's outer sect competition. The atmosphere of the entire outer sect's disciple area is completely different from the past, adding a bit of desolation, making people even more cautious about breathing.
"Brother, I'm so nervous." Ge Kong felt anxious and uneasy.
A month ago, I couldn't even think about the foreign sect competition, because even if I participated, I wouldn't get any rankings. I might be eliminated in the first round, so naturally I wouldn't be a little bit nervous.
But this month, through Chen Zong's guidance and his own hard work, not only has his cultivation level improved a lot, but he has reached the late stage of the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. His swordsmanship has improved even more significantly. Compared with a month ago, his strength can be said to be much better. There is a huge difference in rapid progress.
The improvement of cultivation and strength will bring about an increase in self-confidence, and the increased self-confidence will also breed more ambitions, ambitions that were not dared to have in the past.
Ranking!
Ge Kong wanted to get a better ranking in the outer sect competition.
I dare not think about the top ten. There are many people who are stronger than myself. Not to mention others, just among the top ten of the current outer sect disciples, which one is not in the late stage or even the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm? In terms of cultivation alone, he will be surpassed. Crush, let alone anything else.
It is certainly best to be in the top ten, but if you are not in the top ten, you will attract attention by showing your abilities, and then gain the attention of the sect, and the result will be different.
The Qingyun Sect is a powerful sect, at least in this Dongchen realm. It can exist for more than a thousand years and is passed down continuously without stopping. It naturally has its own set of rules.
Competition and selection of the best can ensure the continuation and strength of the sect.
Only when you have ambitions and expectations do you feel nervous.
"Relax, tomorrow, take what you have learned and put it to good use." Chen Zong patted Ge Kong's shoulder, his gentle tone with an inexplicable rhythm, which gradually relaxed Ge Kong's racing heart and relaxed his breathing. Gradually it becomes stable.
"Pull out your sword and attack me." Chen Zong then said. This is the training for Gekong in the second half of the month. Training with actual combat will be more effective. It is also one of the reasons why Gekong's swordsmanship can improve by leaps and bounds. .
In the field of swordsmanship, Chen Zong's accumulation is extremely profound and can be called a master level. With Chen Zong's dedicated guidance, even Ge Kong is a pig and can still gain a lot.
In the dead of night, Ge Kong had already gone back to recharge his batteries and prepare for the external sect competition that would come tomorrow.
Chen Zong sat cross-legged on the bed. Unlike others, Chen Zong was not worried about tomorrow's competition between the foreign sects and was not nervous at all.
Because it was just a competition between foreign sects, Chen Zong didn't think what would happen. What made him excited was the reward for first place, nothing more.
After a month of practice, Chen Zong's cultivation has improved again, and now he is at the peak of the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. As for the Heart Sword Sutra, it is indeed unpredictable. After a month of whole-hearted meditation, Chen Zong can only comprehend some superficial knowledge. That's all.
But just such a superficial knowledge allowed Chen Zong to have a deeper understanding of swordsmanship.
Thinking back to the so-called swordsmanship in the past, I suddenly felt very funny.
That funny feeling comes from the blindness and ignorance of looking at the sky from a well.
Compared to the Lingwu Holy World, the Canglan World is like a well, and the warriors in the Canglan World are like frogs in the well. This is not to belittle them, but a fact.
limitation!
The limitations of Canglan's world.
The Eastern Continent has its limitations, then Chaotian Island has its limitations, and now the limitations extend to the entire Canglan world.
The way of cultivation in Canglan World seems to be different from that of Lingwu Holy World from the beginning. If we want to compare who is the orthodox one, it is undoubtedly Lingwu Holy World. Canglan World is a side sect, taking the wrong way and becoming emperor.
After that, it's hard to find a way forward.
And theoretically at the same level, practitioners in the Lingwu Holy World will be stronger.
Therefore, the so-called swordsmanship in Canglan World is actually nothing in the Lingwu Holy World. It is just self-proclaimed by Canglan World.
Pretending to be Taoist!
This is how Chen Zong feels.
Of course, every martial art is amazing in the Canglan world, but it's just because of the differences in the world.
If Chen Zong had not come to the Lingwu Holy World, he would not have known this.
Chen Zong was very lucky to have come.
"I don't know if there is martial arts and swordsmanship in the Holy World of Lingwu." Chen Zong said secretly.
In the world of Canglan, anyone who is crowned as Tao is very high-end and great. If there is one in the Holy World of Lingwu, it must be the same, and it is not something that I can come into contact with now.
The top priority is to practice down-to-earth and do your best to improve quickly. As long as you are strong enough, you will get to those who need to be contacted.
Compared to the Canglan world, Chen Zong's pursuit in this world is not so urgent. After all, he has just arrived and has not been here for a long time. He does not understand many things well, and the Lingwu Holy World is vaster and more powerful than the Canglan World.
In the world of Canglan, I have never reached the top. There are many people who are stronger than me, let alone the Holy World of Lingwu.
Even if he recovers to the strength of Canglan World, it will be nothing in this world.
"I have a feeling that I will be able to comprehend more mysteries of the Heart Sword Sutra in the near future, and I will gain something else by then." Chen Zong said secretly.
Chen Zong is still very confident about his intuition, but he doesn't know what he will gain by then, so he can't help but look forward to it.
With this expectation, Chen Zong devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study of the Heart Sword Sutra.
One night passed, and the next day, when the sky was dim, there was a sound of a great bell, which turned into layers of invisible ripples and spread out, spreading throughout Qingyun Peak in just a few breaths.
And at the mountain gate under Qingyun Peak, a group of people also welcomed.
These people are either people from other forces, such as the leaders and elders of some three-star forces or two-star forces. As for one-star forces, they rarely get invitations and are not qualified.
In addition, there are some casual cultivators who can be invited by Qingyun Sect to watch the external sect competition. They are all the best among the casual cultivators. For example, Fenjiang Jianjiang Baichuan is not very old, but only in his thirties.
Because he has reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his swordsmanship is even more exquisite and powerful. He is no better than the masters in the two-star forces, and is even a few points stronger.
Therefore, Jiang Baichuan was naturally among those invited by the Qingyun Sect.
Jiang Baichuan was naturally very happy to receive the invitation from Qingyun Sect.
