Journey to the head

Pinghu County, third-level high-level spiritual vein, Wuying Valley.

The Yunshan Sect’s large flags with green cloud patterns were planted all over the valley edge, fluttering in the fierce wind.

When Yunshan Sect took over this place fifty years ago, it was still a normal valley, the residence of the Qinglian Zhenzong monks. But now, the entire valley has been transformed by Yunshan Sect into a huge competition venue!

In total, there are forty-nine arenas.

According to the numbering, from Arena No. 7 to Arena No. 49, they are used by cultivators who build their foundation and practice Qi. They are the normal form of a fighting venue and a circular stand.

Arenas No. 2 to No. 6 are for use by Jindan monks. Arena No. 1, the largest and most stunning one, can support Jindan group battles and even battles between Yuanying monks!
These six arenas all adopted a different construction concept.

Dig downwards and expand to build a cylinder.

Take the No. 1 ring as an example. Looking down from the sky, this ring was built by the Yunshan Sect's Internal Affairs Department Construction Hall with the power of the monks. It was built on the basis of the valley itself into a cylinder with a cross-sectional radius of ten miles.

The inner space of the cylinder was the arena for the two sides to fight. The inner wall of the cylinder, that is, the mountain wall, was dug out with densely packed stone chambers and seats for spectators.

There are a total of 68,000 seats in the auditorium!

According to the "Memorandum of Understanding on the First Centennial Plan for Revitalization of Cangzhou" signed by the four factions in Cangzhou, Wuying Valley will host major events in the entire Cangzhou and even the surrounding provincial capitals in the future!
On ordinary days, all sects in Cangzhou can apply to the Yunshan Sect to rent the Wuying Valley arena for various competitions.

Now, the No. 1 arena in Wuying Valley was filled with noise and cheers. A huge roar resounded through the sky, and the aftermath of the fierce battle rumbled as it hit the protective formation.

It is the Chongming Alliance’s grand military performance that takes place once every ten years!

Today, the members of the Chongming Alliance include the Yunshan Sect, which occupies Pinghu County, Xuantu County, half of Junle County, half of Chongming County and a quarter of Sanshan County; the Mingyu Sword Sect, which occupies Liangxiang County and half of Chongming County; the Huanggen Sect, which occupies Tieyuan County and two-thirds of Huaiyou County; the Jiyang Villa in Xinghu County; the Changqing Sect in Qingyuan County; and the Chijin Sect, which occupies one-third of Huaiyou County.

There are six factions in total.

In other words, among the ten northwestern counties of Cangzhou, those that have not joined the Chongming Alliance include the Liyuan Sect of Sanshan County, the Guangyao Sect of Dongping County, the Zhiling Sect of Junle County, and the Jiuxian Sect, an independent Jindan sect that moved to Beichu County after the Fenglei Gang of Beichu County moved.

Of course, it wasn't that these four sects didn't want to join the Chongming Alliance. In fact, even the new Jiuxian Sect was enthusiastic about joining the alliance, submitting applications for membership almost once a year.

However, the Chongming Alliance, or the Yunshan Sect, suspended its expansion and stopped accepting new members.

The reason is very simple, the so-called alliance is to help each other. But for the Yunshan Sect today, what can the various Jindan sects do to help the Yunshan Sect?

In terms of combat capability, now is not a wartime. There has been a 500-year-old "cease-fire order" outside Cangzhou, and the four factions in Cangzhou that divided the Sikong family have harmonious relations internally. There is no risk of civil war at all. There is no need for combat for the time being, and no additional assistance is needed.

In addition, the Yunshan Sect, which has become a major Yuanying sect, and more importantly, enshrines the Taiyi Paradise Immortal Scroll, can, to a certain extent, call on all the Jindan sects.

In terms of development, the Yunshan Sect's reputation for being good at business has long spread far and wide. It also owns 20% of the shares of Meihuafang, dominates the northwestern market cluster of Cangzhou, and occupies half of the market resources left by the Sikong family... The various sects in the north of Cangzhou are eager to share their unique resources and exchange what they have with the Yunshan Sect. In order to catch the express train of Yunshan Sect's development, there is no need to sign an alliance.

If new members were to be recruited, they would not be able to help the Yunshan Sect, but would require the Yunshan Sect to allocate resources to support them. Acting Sect Leader Lin Le and the Yunshan Sect Elders Council would naturally be unwilling to do so.

In the final analysis, the Yunshan Sect, as one of the four sects in Cangzhou, which worships immortal talismans, is no longer on the same level as ordinary Jindan sects.

Therefore, at the current stage, the Yunshan Sect, in addition to absorbing the Changqing Sect and the Chijin Sect in accordance with the established policies left by Lu Qian, has stopped the expansion of the Chongming Alliance.

In previous years, the Chongming Alliance’s military performances were basically limited to within the alliance, but this time the performance was different from usual.

Under the suggestion of Elder Wang Yu, in order to find out the bottom line, enhance communication, hone disciples, and at the same time test the construction effect of Wuying Valley, and prepare for hosting the Cangzhou event in the next step, in addition to the six sects of the Chongming Alliance, this competition also invited independent Jindan sects in the northern part of Cangzhou.

Including the ten northwestern counties of Cangzhou, Li Yuanzong of Sanshan County, Guangyaomen of Dongping County, Zhilingpai of Junle County, and Jiuxianpai of Beichui County.

Among the eight counties in the northeast of Cangzhou, after the major land change in Cangzhou, except for the Yunshan Sect occupying Xuantu and Pinghu counties, the other six counties were all independent Jindan sects, and they were also invited this time.

Therefore, more than ten princess sects participated in this competition, with a total of more than forty Jindan participating in the competition, and three Yuanying Lingjun participating in the friendly match.

The scale was grand and the enthusiasm was extraordinary. The only drawback was that the competition was not open to the public. The spectators were all disciples from the participating sects, with a total number of about 20,000. Arena No. 1 seemed empty, with less than one-third of the seats occupied.

The current head of the Yunshan School Management Department, Deputy Director Xie Yongchang, is full of regret and has been lamenting how many tickets would be sold and how much revenue would be generated if it were open to the public.

It's a pity that after the battle for innate spiritual energy that caused a huge disaster more than a hundred years ago, the Yunshan Elder Council has been very cautious about large-scale events. Before verifying that the competition process is smooth and the safety of the arena is guaranteed, they will not rashly sell tickets to the public.

This Chongming Alliance martial arts performance and Cangzhou Beidi martial arts friendship party is divided into two categories: individual competition and three-on-three team competition. The team competition allows free team formation across sects.

The prizes for the competition are very generous and are jointly borne by the Chongming Alliance, but of course the Yunshan Sect takes the lion’s share.

At present, the individual competitions have all ended, and the champion, runner-up, third place and top ten have been decided. The team competition has also reached the last game, the championship and runner-up finals.

A violent explosion!

The earth and stone giant, who was eighty feet tall, was first bombarded by the golden weapons that fell like a rainstorm, and then was swept by a heavy and sharp starlight. Suddenly, his upper body exploded, and large pieces of mud and rocks fell like a landslide.

Ye Xiao, who was on the earth and stone giant's shoulder, fell down one step ahead, her wavy hair dancing in the wind. At the moment when the giant was shattered, she raised her hands, and the mountains below shook. The essence of Wu Earth and Yi Earth rolled like a dragon, and was wrapped in a layer of three-colored Ruyi Shensha. As she pushed with both palms, the two dragons bit fiercely towards the center of the formation, one on the left and one on the right.

Secret Technique: Yin Yang Double Dragon Command!
Two giant earth dragons with three-color bodies pounced in front of him in the blink of an eye. The howling wind messed up Zhen Xiu's hair that was as long as a waterfall and as beautiful as clouds, revealing a face as bright as the moon. There was no panic in those lacquer eyes.

She was standing in a brilliant white light, her skirt fluttering, her figure graceful and agile. At her feet lay a snow-white civet cat that looked like a leopard, its pupils like the blue sea and clear sky, emitting strange fluctuations.

And above her head, there are the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Aura, Rahu and Ketu. The nine stars are floating and sinking, shining brightly.

The Nine Star God Formation!

It inherits the power of the Nine Stars and combines the changes of the Zhoutian, making it extraordinary and powerful.

Facing the two furious dragons, she pressed heavily on the star array in front of her with both hands, and a handful of spirit crystals burned violently, and the phantoms of the stars in the array flickered. The four big stars in the array, the Sun, Taibai, Zhenxing and Luohou, shook, and the extremely sharp and heavy annihilation star power reverberated around her body. The two giant dragons immediately creaked under the heavy load, and their entire bodies were cracking.

The Nine Lights Array: Annihilation!

However, the Twin Dragons Secret Technique was covered with a layer of the Huang Gen Sect's inherited secret treasure, the Three-Colored Ruyi Divine Sand, which greatly enhanced its strength, and it continued to rush forward despite its collapsing body.

At this moment, the snow-colored civet cat let out a soft whistle, and two more groups of stars flashed among the Nine Lights in the sky!
The light of Taiyin, Suixing and Ketu flowed, and the moon blade that seemed to appear and disappear flashed lightly and disappeared in the formation. Then in the next moment, the head of the giant dragon Wu Earth on the left was chopped off.

This is the Dark Moon Blade of the Nine Lights Array.

There were also Jupiter and Mars, which were dazzling and a huge meteor fell from the sky, smashing the giant earth dragon on the right into pieces.

It is the Nine Lights Array: Flying Fire Meteors!

Three-colored divine sand fluttered down, and a graceful fairy with nine stars on her head and a civet cat by her body stood quietly in the middle. From any angle, it was an intoxicating picture.

"That's Junior Master Uncle Jiang Baitao of Yunshan... It's true that hearing about him is worse than meeting him in person. It's really amazing that he has such skills even in the early stage of Jindan." A cultivator was amazed.

A person beside him seemed to be a cultivator from the Chongming Alliance. Hearing this, he snorted with pride: "Of course. Otherwise, do you think the name of 'Xingyao Jun' is for nothing?"

The youngest fourth-generation disciple of the Yunshan sect, Jiang Baitao, the Star Lord who is also known as Yunshan’s Junior Uncle!
Everyone was talking about it and cheering.

"Fairy Xingyao is so beautiful, a true immortal would be no more beautiful than her... I wonder if she has a Taoist partner?"

"Bah, stop daydreaming, you toad. There are so many talented people who admire her that they can line up from here all the way to Plum Blossom House!"

"Xingyao Jun's Nine Lights Star God Array was passed down from Qiancheng Lingjun, the former Xuanwei Sect's array cultivator. It is said that Qiancheng Lingjun passed on the method before his death. I didn't expect that her cultivation has reached such a high level. She is showing a tendency to surpass her master."

"You don't understand this, do you?" A cultivator beamed with joy. "My good brother is a disciple of Yunshan. He told me that this is all related to the magical powers of the Xingyao Fairy. The spirit cat Beiluo Shimen is extremely mysterious and it is hard for ordinary people to imagine."

Another cultivator was amazed: "I've heard that Yunshan Sect has many formation cultivators. Today, I saw the demeanor of Xingyao Jun. How majestic must the long-lost formation cultivator Tianyuanzi be?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could not help but think of the legendary scene and were filled with longing.

At this moment, a loud bang was suddenly heard.

From within the shattered bodies of the two dragons, another bright yellow seal appeared like a collapsing mountain, smashing down on Jiang Baitao's head!
At this moment, the three formation variations had just been used, and it was too late to condense the changes again!

But Jiang Baitao did not dodge or evade, and Beiluo Shimen did not seem to panic.

With a loud clang and golden light flashing everywhere, the magic seal was knocked away by a huge shield covered with golden energy!

A man wearing heavy armor with ink-colored gold patterns, holding a huge shield covered with canine teeth, his entire body covered with rich golden light, standing in front of Jiang Baitao like an iron tower!
Under the heavy helmet is a simple and resolute face.

"With Wang Ruoyu, the indestructible master of the Yunshan Sect, Lord Xingyao will be safe and secure." An audience member sighed sincerely.

At this time, Ye Xiao was still in mid-air, and suddenly she felt a chill down her spine. A sharp murderous intent had locked onto her!
A dreamy and blurry inky black rainbow passed across Ye Xiao's chest as if it had traveled through space!
Luo Hu Lie Sword·Flying Light!

The audience exclaimed in unison. It was Xiao Tianci, the Master Mingzhao of the Yunshan School.

But people in the Chongming Alliance would rather cheer for another title.

"Chop the thunder! Chop the thunder!"

Xiao Tianci was very popular among the audience. When he struck with his sword, he immediately caused cheers.

But at the same moment when his sword slashed across Ye Xiao, a huge blue sword, with the power and roar of a tsunami, came down on his head!
The overlapping sword energy was like a tsunami, perfectly timing Xiao Tianci's sword thrust out, as if Xiao Tianci himself had collided with the giant door-like sword.

It was the Mingyu Sword Sect, Master Haoran!
Seeing that Xiao Tianci was about to be submerged by the sword energy, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he actually forcibly summoned his spiritual power and used the "Flying Light" move, disappearing without a trace under the sword energy.

When he appeared again, before he could catch his breath, a thin silver needle, the trajectory of which was difficult to see, suddenly shot in front of his eyes.

It was as if he had bumped into a silver needle himself!
Xiao Tianci only had time to raise the Mohong sword sheath, and a layer of glazed precious light radiated out. But with a slight "chi" sound, the silver needle had already pierced through the hastily set up scabbard defense, but at least the precious light changed the defense, leaving only a large blood mark on his cheek.

However, after this move, Xiao Tianci groaned and his face turned pale - he had just forced himself to use his flying light to avoid the sword energy, and before he had time to relax, he was forced by the silver needle again. Now, the spiritual power he forced himself to use had damaged his meridians!
I'm afraid it will be difficult to use Fei Guang in this battle!
He turned his gaze to the distance, looking at the monk in white robes with an upright posture, who was holding the silver needle in his palm.

Jiyang Villa, Xuanjizi Wei Zhaixing!
Were every step just now within his prediction? !

At this moment, Ye Xiao's body, which was cut by Xiao Tianci's sword, shattered into pieces and turned into dust.

The ground bulged not far away, and a completely unharmed Ye Xiao walked out with his long legs.

She stroked the ends of her hair gently, her honey-colored skin gleaming in the sunlight. She looked at the surprised and unwilling Xiao Tianci, her deep beautiful eyes filled with smiles.

Over the past few decades, it’s not just you Yunshan cultivators who have made progress... My Kunpin true body has taken a step closer. I guess you didn’t see the secret technique of the Spiritual Earth Incarnation just now?

On the other side, Wei Zhaixing put away the Touyue needle, threw away the tortoise shell that had been completely shattered in his hand, and then took out a new piece and held it in his palm.

There was a large number of phantom stars floating around him, flickering and shining, shining in harmony with the bright Nine Lights Array in the air, and was not inferior to it.

When looking closely, there are two more star points attached to Zhenren Haoran and Ye Xiao. He is using this method to command the two to fight!

It turns out that this battle is between Jiang Baitao, Wang Ruoyu, and Xiao Tianci, and they are fighting against Master Haoran, Ye Xiao, and Wei Zhaixing! (End of this chapter)
