Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1972 A Person in the Martial World
People in the arena involuntarily.

Liu Qinghuan has always been too low-key. Many people in the cultivation world have only heard of Dao Kui's name, but have never seen him make a move.

When real battles break out, it's either in a secret realm or in a life-or-death struggle.

He was born, and died right in front of him, so naturally no one saw it.

So much so that the Dao Kui's strength is rumored to be unfathomable, but many people still don't believe it. Now that they have a chance to fight, how can they miss it?
If we could trample Dao Kui under our feet, wouldn't our prestige instantly soar and shake the entire cultivation world?

Therefore, Liu Qinghuan agreed to fight two matches on the battle stage, which stirred the hearts and minds of many Mahayana cultivators.

But when they saw Yue Yan and the others standing quietly behind Liu Qinghuan, their impulsive and confused minds cleared up somewhat.

As everyone knows, Dao Kui has three ninth-tier spirit pets, one of which is a phoenix.

Spirit pets can accompany their owners on stage, and no one can criticize them.

For most cultivators, acquiring a spirit beast is not difficult; the challenge lies in raising it to adulthood and ensuring its strength reaches the point where it can fight alongside its master.

Raising a battle pet requires countless hours and effort, not to mention providing resources such as spirit stones, spirit medicines, and spirit materials for the battle pet to train and meet its various requirements.

For example, if the little stone monkey Huitian wants a spatial magic artifact to build a pagoda, Liu Qinghuan has to build it for him.

However, Liu Qinghuan had access to various resources from Songxi Small Grotto-heaven to raise spirit pets, and could also use the Azure Wood Qi to cultivate spiritual herbs and refine pills. But for the vast majority of cultivators, wouldn't it be better to use some of these things for their own benefit?
Pets face various risks such as becoming useless, deserting, or dying. There's no better way than improving your own strength.

Therefore, in the cultivation world, many young cultivators raise spirit pets, but as their cultivation level increases, the strength of their spirit pets gradually falls behind their masters, and they are naturally eliminated.

Just like Xiao Hei and Chu Yi back then.

Raising even one spirit pet is no easy feat; someone like Liu Qinghuan, who raises three ninth-tier spirit pets, is extremely rare.

No, there are four now.

The little stone monkey Huitian is quite special. His cultivation level is difficult to define clearly, but judging from the fact that he stole the Thousand Buddha Pagoda of the Great Ming Realm and successfully escaped, and was only caught by Zhiming after being surrounded and intercepted by a group of Buddhist monks for many days, his strength should not be underestimated.

At this moment, it was squatting on the back of Liu Qinghuan's chair, its eyes darting around. Whenever someone looked at it, it would grin and show its teeth.

“Huitian, you must not be rude.”

Liu Qinghuan whispered a reminder, but those people, having achieved their goal, all took their leave and returned to their respective positions to continue watching the competition below.

He turned around and cupped his hands in thanks to Zhenyi: "Thank you for helping me out today, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been drowned in your spittle."

"Hahaha!" Zhenyi laughed loudly, saying nonchalantly, "This is also part of my duty. Speaking of which, I am also very much looking forward to seeing how you will shine on the Nine Heavens Battle Stage!"

Liu Qinghuan said with a wry smile, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to this conference. Now that I'm forced into this situation, I can only give it my best."

"Eh! Fellow Daoist Taiwei, you are being too modest. Your strength is not worth worrying about..."

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhenyi for a while, Liu Qinghuan finally had some peace and quiet. Looking down, she asked Li Shan, "How is the battle going?"

Li Shan had previously gone to another cloud because he found those cultivators disturbing his viewing of the competition, and he had just returned.

"Hehe, you've missed quite a few exciting scenes! While you were arguing with those people, eight sects have already been completely cleared out of the secret realm."

Liu Qinghuan quickly scanned the entire secret realm and soon found the Wen Shi Sect disciples in a corner.

It appears that about ten people are missing, and many of the other disciples are also injured, indicating that a battle had recently taken place.

However, Huichen was well protected, and Bai Xuan and other Nascent Soul cultivators were still alive.

"Be careful!" Li Shan said.

"Hmm?" "Although the Nine Heavens Battle Platform is supposed to be a point-to-point contest, there are always people who make mistakes, or pretend to make mistakes after getting carried away."

Some people in the Nine Netherworlds don't know what it means to stop.

So that's what you're worried about.

"Thanks for the reminder!" Liu Qinghuan said, not wanting to say more, and instead asked, "Are you going to participate this time?"

"Of course!" Li Shan smiled. "It's rare to have so many people gathered together. Everyone is usually busy and doesn't usually fight. We finally have a chance to spar."

But forget about you, I don't want to fight you.

"Didn't you say..."

"Tsk! Outsiders may not know your strength, but do you think I don't? You should win, but I'd be embarrassed if I lose. I'm not doing this losing proposition!"

Liu Qinghuan laughed and said, "Li Shan, the Daoist Master of the Taiqing Sect in the Myriad Realms, is renowned in the cultivation world. It is indeed only natural that he defeated me."

Li Shan glared at him unkindly, then looked down at the secret realm below and laughed in exasperation.

"Your disciples are quite good at hiding! My little rascals have such bad luck. They run into people every few steps, either being chased or chasing others. After all this time, they haven't made any significant progress."

Liu Qinghuan's gaze shifted to the Taiqing Sect, and she couldn't help but marvel at the foundation of a top-tier sect, which was able to retain more than half of its fighting strength even when being chased and surrounded.

He glanced at the map, and a thought suddenly struck him.

"If your disciples continue in the direction they are fleeing now, they will run into our sect after crossing just two more mountains."

Li Shan clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Brother, let's join forces!"

"It's no use telling me; it depends on their own choices," Liu Qinghuan said with a smile. "Actually, I think taking advantage of the chaos isn't a bad idea either."

"No way!" Li Shan said confidently, "Our two factions have such a good relationship, and we are both from the Myriad Hu Realm, it's impossible for us to kill each other."

Sure enough, when the two sides met, the Wen Shi Sect members saw that Taiqing Sect was being chased. They exchanged glances and immediately stepped forward to help.

The two sides joined forces to clear the pursuers out of the secret realm, then gathered together for a moment to discuss and decided to act together.

At least in the early to mid-stages of the battle, the two factions had a significant advantage when they joined forces. As for what would happen later, we'll see.

Suddenly, gasps of surprise erupted from the audience.

"Look, Da Bao has finally appeared!"

"So early? Where are you?"

All eyes were focused on the northeast corner of the secret realm, where a dark blue light pierced through the seawater and shot into the sky like an arrow.

Behind it, a male cultivator dressed in brown robes was hot on its heels, his face looking very unwell.

These strange phenomena can be seen not only in the outside world, but also in every corner of the secret realm.

As a result, many teams changed their original direction and headed towards the seaside.

"That's it, a chaotic battle is about to begin!" Li Shan said solemnly, "Da Bao appeared too early. Once the competition starts, many teams will be cleared out of the secret realm ahead of time."

Liu Qinghuan looked towards her own sect and saw that the disciples of the two sects, who had joined forces, were also in a state of turmoil due to Da Bao's appearance.

However, the Wenshi Sect disciples, who were participating in the sect conference for the first time, were soon persuaded by the experienced Taiqing Sect members to stop and continue at their original pace, moving forward at a leisurely speed.

"Sigh! I can't not go, but I can't go too early either, or I'll become the target of everyone's criticism!"
