The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 192: Fight for Treasure (Update)
"Every force present that possesses the power of a god or immortal can participate in this fight... then I can too..." Ji Xiaoshan thought to himself.

The Taoist sect he belongs to can also be considered to meet this condition. After all, the Taoist sect is located in this far north, in this void. In addition to the Taoist Patriarch Qingxu, there is also a True Immortal Duxu.

"That Starlight Stone is a precious material that can be used to refine immortal-level magic weapons and pure Yang magic weapons. Even if only 10% of it is divided into eight parts, it is still a lot. If I get it and sell it directly to the Good Merit Hall, plus the 3 million good merits from killing the Red Feather Immortal before... it can at least be worth a few ordinary pure Yang magic weapons. And I still have a pure Yang magic weapon that should be ranked as the lower pure Yang... After returning to the Taoist sect, these should be enough for me to obtain the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and directly complete the first three turns of cultivation."

He had to think about these things, even though the two major conditions required to practice the Eight-Nine Profound Art, no matter which one, seemed a long way off.

But necessary preparations must be made. Opportunities and treasures are extremely important to cultivators, and one must grab hold of any of them if they come across them.

As for Ji Xiaoshan, he has not yet gone to the Hall of Good Deeds to submit the task... Taoist disciples will carry a unique watermark magic weapon when performing good deeds tasks outside. If they kill a cultivator who has committed a great sin, they can directly use this watermark magic weapon to record it.

When settling the good deeds task in the Hall of Good Deeds, you can complete the collection of good deeds by handing in the watermarked magic weapon and presenting a token that can prove the identity of the sinful cultivator.

Ji Xiaoshan can do both of these things. Don't forget that all the wealth of the Chiyu Immortal is in his hands, and that Chunyang magic weapon was also obtained from him.

"Junior brother, do you also want to join the fight?" Immortal Duxu looked at Ji Xiaoshan and said with a smile.

The hint of fighting spirit in Ji Xiaoshan's eyes could not be hidden from the gods and immortals present, not to mention the two powerful beings at the level of Dao Ancestors.

"That's right." Ji Xiaoshan said frankly.

If he participated in the treasure competition, it would also be within the rules, and no one could find fault with it. However, his cultivation was only at the level of a Returning Void Earthly Immortal, so he would be at a disadvantage against the Celestial Immortals who possessed the power of a Pure Yang True Immortal.

“Junior brother…” Upon hearing this, Venerable Kashyapa looked at Ji Xiaoshan thoughtfully, narrowing his eyes slightly as if thinking about something.

"Duxu, when did Xiaoyao Tianzun accept a disciple who has reached the level of a returning earthly immortal? How come I didn't hear any news about it?" Fuhu Luohan said. He also glanced at Ji Xiaoshan, with a look in his eyes as if a terrifying tiger might pounce.

"Hmm?" Ji Xiaoshan's heart suddenly tightened. Being stared at by Fu Hu Luohan, he felt as if there was an extremely fierce beast staring at him from behind.

Wow~~~
Ji Xiaoshan focused his mind, and the shadow of the Three Pure Ones riding a cow in his sea of ​​consciousness also shone brightly. Suddenly, a faint breath of tranquility filled the air, warming his soul, and making him feel much more relaxed after the full-scale confrontation.

"Subdue the Tiger!" Daoist Master Qingxu waved his sleeves, and an invisible pressure disappeared in an instant. He glanced at the Subduing Tiger Arhat calmly and said calmly, "Qingping is a disciple accepted by my master, Daoist Master Sanqing. It is not your turn to bully my disciples like this!"

"The disciple accepted by the Three Pure Ones? Him?" Fu Hu Luohan was stunned. All he could see was the figure of the young man in green in front of him. Suddenly he understood.

"I did hear Dashizhi mention that there was a Wanxiang Zhenren in the Daxia world who learned the great Taoist magical power of the Sleeve of the Universe and won first place in the Immortal Fate Conference. Is that person you?"

"It's me." Ji Xiaoshan said neither humble nor arrogant.

In the current situation, he represents Taoism, and with his senior brother Qingxu Daozu looking after him, he naturally cannot weaken the reputation of Taoism.

"The little guy is quite courageous." Fu Hu Luo Han nodded, and then ignored Ji Xiaoshan. The disciples of the Three Pure Ones were indeed outstanding, but Ji Xiaoshan in front of him had not yet survived the heavenly tribulation.

Everyone is equal under the Heavenly Tribulation, even the Daoist disciples are still like this, and it is more difficult for them to survive the Heavenly Tribulation than ordinary immortal cultivators. But if you don't survive the Heavenly Tribulation, you don't survive it, and now it doesn't count as his level.

Venerable Kashyapa looked at Ji Xiaoshan and nodded slightly. Then his eyes fell on the endlessly spinning vortex of the void with an inexplicable expression.

“Junior brother, if you want to share the Starlight Stone, just go ahead. If my disciples are not qualified to participate, then there are few who are qualified in the entire Three Realms. However, Junior brother’s cultivation is a bit disadvantageous. If you can’t win, just admit defeat... After all, it’s just some external objects.” Taoist Master Qingxu looked at Ji Xiaoshan with a warm gaze, “You haven’t passed the heavenly tribulation yet, and you still have a long way to go in the future.”

"Junior brother, I understand." Ji Xiaoshan nodded.

……

a long time.

"Brother Duxu." Daoist Patriarch Qingxu said, "Let all the forces that have chosen the immortal cultivators come forward. It would be best if we could get this treasure into our pockets as soon as possible."

Unpredictable changes may occur in the vortex of the void at any time. Taoist Qingxu will naturally not wait too long. He will divide up the water sooner and concentrate all his energy on this vortex of the void.

"Yes!" The Immortal Duxu nodded. He glanced at the Subduing Tiger Arhat before flying high into the sky.

"Everyone!" The voice of the True Immortal Duxu roared like thunder and immediately rolled in all directions.

Wow~~

In an instant, all the cultivators in the entire empty space fell silent, and there was complete silence for a moment.

All the immortal cultivators who possessed the power of gods and immortals held their breath.

"There are a total of 61 forces with gods and immortals present, and a total of 60 forces participating in the fight for the treasure. From now on, two people will fight each other, and all of you stand out!" Duxu Zhenxian said in a deep voice.
Fifty-nine immortal cultivators suddenly stood out from the void, and at the same time Ji Xiaoshan also stood out.

"Does the Taoist sect also have immortal cultivators participating?"

"There are also gods and immortals present in the Taoist sect, so it is naturally included in the requirements and is not considered a violation of the rules."

"Breaking the rules? I'm the one who made the rules!"

"The aura that the immortal cultivator exudes... is just the Return to Earth Immortal! If I were to fight him... I could easily win the battle."

"With this level of cultivation... it should be very easy to fight against him!"

The immortals or the returning gods and demons who were comparable to immortals stood up one by one, all of them fixed their eyes on the empty space where the Taoists and Buddhists were standing, and all of them fixed their eyes on Ji Xiaoshan.

There was curiosity and exploration in those eyes, and some even had a touch of passion and ferocity...

"Senior Brother?" Immortal Duxu turned his head and looked at Taoist Qingxu.

"You can decide for yourself." Daozu Qingxu looked calm. These were all trivial matters. The purpose was just to let those forces that couldn't get any meat have a taste of the soup, so as not to cause trouble directly. The rest of these matters were not worth his worrying about.

call!
Immortal Duxu waved his hand, and a large rock floating in the void was brought close to him in an instant.

A flame emitting red light suddenly emerged from the void, and the raging fire burned the boulder fiercely.

soon.

The big stone turned directly into a pool of red liquid, which was divided into sixty parts by the Immortal Duxu. The red liquid cooled and condensed, turning into pieces of talismans of the same size, engraved with ancient divine and demonic characters "One", "Two", "Three"... until the 'Thirtieth'.

Among the sixty talismans of the same size, two pieces form a set, and the divine and demonic characters engraved on each set are the same.

call out!call out!call out!
The sixty talismans engraved with numbers were directly shuffled by the True Immortal Duxu, and then turned into streams of light and flew in front of the immortal cultivators who stood out.

Immortal Duxu looked at the cultivators one by one and said, "Pick up the talisman in front of you. Those with the same number on the talisman will fight each other in pairs. The winner will directly enter the next round of fighting. In the second round, the one who holds the talisman of 'one' will fight against the one who holds the talisman of 'sixteen', the one who holds the talisman of 'two' will fight against the one who holds the talisman of 'seventeen', and so on. And the one who holds the talisman of 'fifteen' will fight against the one who holds the talisman of 'thirty'!"

He continued, "After the second round, fifteen people are left. These fifteen people draw their talismans again. The one who draws the 'eight' talisman will be given a bye. The remaining fourteen cultivators will continue to fight like in the second round. The one who draws the talisman 'one' will face the one who draws the talisman 'nine'... In this way, eight cultivators who are eligible to share the Starlight Stone will be directly decided."

"Do you understand?" Immortal Duxu looked at every cultivator below, and his voice sounded directly in the ears of every cultivator.

"We understand!" All the immortal cultivators responded.

The rules set by the Immortal Duxu were simple, even very arbitrary. In the end, the fight was all based on luck and strength, and being able to take into account most fairness was already very satisfying to these immortal cultivators.

Ji Xiaoshan then took the talisman in front of him in his hand. This talisman was just casually refined by the True Immortal Duxu. Naturally, it could not pay attention to its beauty or power. There was only a simple and extremely ancient divine and demonic character "Lu" on it.

"Six? The sixth talisman? If I win this one, the next opponent will be the cultivator holding the talisman engraved with 'twenty-one'?" Just as Ji Xiaoshan was thinking, the voice of the Immortal Duxu in the void sounded one after another.

"Okay." Immortal Duxu nodded, "There is a lot of space in the void, enough for you to compete and fight. Remember, this treasure hunt was jointly initiated by our Taoist Qingxu Daozu and Buddhist Jiaye Venerable. It is forbidden to use any Taoist talismans or any puppets!"

"Forbidden to use any Taoist talismans, forbidden to use any puppets?" An immortal cultivator looked extremely unhappy. Just before he came out, the sect master had given him an extremely powerful puppet. If it was forbidden...

"The use of any Taoist talismans is forbidden? It seems that my trump card is useless!" A black-robed cultivator could not hide a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

"Isn't this just like ordinary creatures playing house? Isn't the puppet I spent most of my life to buy useless?"

……

"Hmm." Venerable Jiaye looked at the returning Immortal Duxu and smiled. "Immortal Duxu is quite thoughtful. Those gods and immortals are trying to take advantage of the situation. Most of them took out their powerful trump cards and stuffed them into the immortal cultivators under their command. If this happens, the rules that Daoist Fellow Qingxu and I have established will become a joke."

"Your Excellency, thank you for your compliment. I have thought about it more." Duxu Zhenxian had a smile on his face. "I just had this idea after I discovered it. If we let these gods and immortals take out these trump cards and pass them on to the cultivators below, it would be better to let them do it themselves. Although various external means are part of the cultivators' strength, but..."

There is one thing that the Immortal Duxu has never said out loud. In addition to his own strength, his authority is accumulated bit by bit by setting rules like this.
