The golden-scaled ship of Kaiyang Palace broke through the thick clouds and flew smoothly towards the south.
In addition to the disciples participating in the "Seven Star Yaocai" conference, there were also several Zhizhen Realm mages accompanying them on the boat. The leaders of the group were Yuan Jinsheng, the leader of Jingyi Hall, and Lu Haikong, the leader of Talisman Hall.
At this time, the two of them were standing on the deck of the third floor of the building, looking at the rolling sea of clouds around them.
Lu Haikong is thin, with gray hair and two long beards. He has a solemn Xiaoxiao and a clear and cheerful manner. He seems to be weak, but he speaks with full energy:
"Master Yuan, there have been reports recently from the four borders. Barbarians are frequently harassing us. Also, the Bon religion that your love discovered during her two experiences seems to have the shadow of the demons behind it. It's really an undercurrent."
Yuan Jinsheng nodded slightly and sighed softly: "Oh, yes, the storm is about to come, so the Taoist sect still needs to prepare for a rainy day and make arrangements early. Part of the strength of the Seventh Palace can be mobilized to strengthen the border defense, just in case.
"
Lu Haikong agreed: "It should be so. However, the Patriarch has been in seclusion for the past few years and has been indifferent to the affairs within the sect. Without his overall planning, the Seven Palaces cannot be united."
Yuan Jinsheng expressed a different point of view: "What Mr. Lu said is wrong. Although the seven palaces all have their own small calculations, they can always unite as one before big matters of right and wrong."
After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, the Patriarch's retreat is not a life-and-death barrier. Tianshu Xingjun will report on the affairs within the sect every month. We must believe the Patriarch. Since he knows foreign affairs but continues to retreat, he must have foresight.
, there will be better arrangements, just wait patiently."
Lu Haikong did not argue, but sighed and said helplessly: "Oh, I can only wait for the ancestor to come out of seclusion."
…
In the early morning two days later, the night slowly receded, and the blue morning light appeared in the eastern sky. The sun rose in the east and the sky gradually became brighter.
In the distance, a mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles appears in front of you. The mountain range runs east-west and is no more than five or six hundred feet high. But at the east end of the mountain range are two abrupt peaks that stand straight into the sky, as if they are standing between heaven and earth.
Tianmen.
A raging and wide river rushes out from the Tianmen. It can be said: "The green mountains cannot cover it, and it will flow eastward after all."
As the building boat approaches, the mountains that cross the east and west become clearer and clearer. It turns out that a canyon is hidden in it, and a large river named "Canglan River" flows through it.
The canyon has steep cliffs, majestic and majestic features, with nine twists and turns, deep canyons and secluded valleys, miraculous craftsmanship, and beautiful peaks.
And the gate like Tianji Palace is where Tianji Palace is located. The gate has one south and one north. The south peak is yang and the north peak is yin. The south peak is where the inner gate of Tianji Palace is located, while the north peak is the outer gate and the market town.
The Kaiyang Palace ship docked slowly at the sky dock halfway up the South Peak. When it was stable, Yuan Jinsheng and Lu Haikong were the first to disembark.
At this time, there were already several Taoist priests from Tianji Palace standing on the pier. Judging from their appearance and demeanor, the two leading them were at least the first-level big shots.
After some greetings, the two leaders of Tianji Palace led everyone from Kaiyang Palace to the top of the mountain, just a few hundred meters away.
Suddenly, the voice of the Taoist from Tianji Palace calling for instructions came from behind. Baili Ming heard the movement and looked back, only to see another building boat coming.
This large ship has a strange shape. If you look closely, you will see that the ship is made up of hundreds of flying boats.
Bai Liming felt strange, but Yuan Chaoxi on the side saw what he was thinking and explained:
"This is the building of the Yuheng Palace. It is made up of hundreds of flying boats. These flying boats can be disassembled at any time and combined freely. It is very magical."
Zuo Sisi also curiously asked: "Why don't they just get a building ship that is as complete as ours."
Bian Zhangji interjected and said sarcastically: "You are a country bumpkin. You have no idea. This hundred-gallon ship is a powerful spiritual treasure of the Yuheng Palace. When combined together, the defense is amazing, but once it is broken down into hundreds of flying boats,
You can form a magic circle to surround the enemy and exert maximum attack power."
Yuan Chaoxi glared at Bian Changji with dissatisfaction, and then said: "This has something to do with the landform where Yuheng Palace is located, because Yuheng Palace is composed of twenty-one gu. What is a gu? There are steep walls around the gu, and the slope of the mountain is steep.
From steep to gentle, it looks like a huge stone platform placed on the top of the mountain. The stone platform is either square, round table-shaped, or cockscomb-shaped. From a distance, it looks like dotted beacon towers."
Baili Ming and Zuo Sisi were both attracted and listened carefully. Yuan Chaoxi continued:
"In order to facilitate the connection between various Gushan Mountains, the Yuheng Palace uses flying boats to travel. Therefore, there are a lot of flying boats in the Yuheng Palace. If there is an important day, it will be like thousands of sails passing by and thousands of boats competing in the sky, forming a jade river.
It is a unique scenery of Heng Palace. Therefore, Yuheng Palace will use the magic circle to combine more than a hundred flying boats into a building ship. Therefore, this building ship is called a hundred ships."
Everyone suddenly understood the question, and just as they were about to discuss it, they heard the urging of the mage Yu Lu who was leading the team, and everyone hurried forward to catch up.
After walking for about one stick of incense, a huge square appeared in front of us.
Across the square is a magnificent mountain gate. In the middle of the gate hangs a huge plaque with a purple background and fine gold inlays. It has five characters: "Tai Tianji Palace."
After everyone was arranged, Baili Ming and the others wanted to visit Tianji Palace, but considering the long journey and the competition tomorrow, they suppressed their excitement and meditated to recuperate, striving to return to their best condition.
.
At Chen time the next day, the "Seven Star Yaocai" conference kicked off. The opening ceremony of the conference was simple and grand. Under the leadership of Wu Daozi, the star king of Tianji Palace, all the disciples worshiped the Seventh Ancestor and then announced the rules and precautions for the competition.
.
Finally, Xingjun Wu Daozi announced the official start of the "Seven Star Yaocai" conference, and all the disciples in the audience cheered.
The competition in the state of Zhengjue is at the south peak, while the competition in the state of humility is at the north peak. The two peaks start at the same time without interfering with each other.
The promotion match of the team battle group B will start first. According to the rules, Tianshu Palace in Group B will have a bye. The remaining six palaces will compete in the first round first.
The venue for the Zhengjue Realm competition is located in the square in front of the gate of Nanfeng Mountain. The square is paved with bluestone, as smooth as a mirror, and is surrounded by a circle of white jade railings for protection.
On the outer edge of the square, dense fog is lingering at this time. Occasionally, the mountain breeze blows away the clouds, and you can see the bottomless abyss below and the endlessly flowing Canglan River.
At this time, in the middle of the square, three high platforms made of black boulders stood. The high platforms were about two feet high, about fifty feet long, and about twenty feet wide.
This stone platform is also a magic circle, which will not weaken the power of the disciples' spells. However, once the spell threatens the disciple's life, the magic circle will automatically generate invisible power to protect the attacked disciple. At most, it will cause coma without leaving any trace.
Fatal or irreversible injuries.
There are viewing platforms around the high platform. The north side is the main viewing platform. Although it is only one floor, it is higher than the other three sides. It has overhangs to provide shade. The main viewing platform is for the leader of the Seven Palaces and the Master, while the other three sides are for watching the battle.
Disciple's seat.
Before the game started, Master Yu Lu came forward to draw lots on behalf of Kaiyang Palace. The results of the draw were:
"Kaiyang Palace versus Tianxuan Palace, Tianquan Palace versus Tianji Palace, Yuheng Palace versus Yaoguang Palace."
