Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 679 The War Begins
The next morning, the sky brightened.

The long-awaited Daozi War finally arrived. Countless monks came together and discussed it non-stop.

Unlike the battle between the middle realms that ended, the battle between the Daozi paid more attention to the foundation of each Taoist school.

After all, it is held every hundred years, and what is considered is whether each branch can continuously cultivate Nascent Soul Immortal talents.

For this reason, the battles among Daozi are divided into two extremes. One is to crush them blindly and destroy them with ease, while the other is to fight back and forth and produce many talented people.

Obviously, the battle between the Daoists in this sword-fighting event is for the latter. Not only do each family have extraordinary talents, but there are also two people from other continents. Therefore, it is naturally much more intense than the former.

The breeze is gentle and the sea of ​​clouds is vast.

The palace on the clouds stood still, and nearly thirty true gods took their seats one after another.

Among them, Master Han Yuan bowed to everyone as usual, then floated down to the high platform.

Elder Qin was waiting beside the incense burner early, with a solemn expression.

The twenty-seven meridians also entered one after another and went to their respective positions.

In short, the scenery remains the same, but the people involved have changed...

"Daozi's victory is of great significance. You should do your best..."

The same words echoed in the ears of Tao Xianxu and others.

On Chen Mu's side, Taoist Tian Xing tremblingly warned: "If you fail, admit defeat quickly. It's better to lose face than to damage your foundation."

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry."

After waiting for a while, when the sunlight shone through the sea of ​​clouds and shone on the mountaintop, Elder Qin took a big step forward and shouted, "Where are you fellow Daoists?"

As soon as the voice came out, Tao Xianxu came with a carefree look.

Li Jianyi turned into a sword light and flew up. Fairy Yaoguang, Dudu, Wei Mingde and others also came forward.

"Let's go." Hua Meimei was unwilling to be alone, so she got together with Chen Mu.

"Let's go." Chen Mu nodded and strode away.

After all twenty-seven people arrived, Elder Qin looked around, meeting everyone's gazes one by one. However, few noticed that he lingered on Chen Mu for a little longer...

"You are all top-notch immortals from your lineage. To determine the winner, it is inevitable..."

After Elder Qin finished his usual speech, his expression settled. He then tossed out the lottery box and said loudly, "The first round of this competition will be divided into thirteen matches, with one bye. The details will be determined by the draws you made."

After saying that, everyone looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then they all reached out to grab the fortune sticks.

They were all a little nervous about who their opponents would be.

After all, those who are strong are afraid of meeting an equally strong opponent in the first round, not to mention those who are slightly weaker.

In this atmosphere, many people hope to be drawn with Hua Meimei...

This was because when they were trying to snatch the incense earlier, although Hua Meimei had performed brilliantly, her strength had also been almost fully revealed. They silently estimated and felt that they could win.

As for why no one thought of Chen Mu, it was simply because he was difficult to deal with...

Li Jianyi was the first to raise the oracle in his hand. When everyone saw the characters on it, they all felt relieved. Only the Taoist disciple of Ziji Sect had a dark expression and sighed repeatedly.

Scenes like this appeared one after another. Some people were secretly delighted, while others remained expressionless...

Chen Mu picked up the fortune stick in his hand: "Geng character field..."

He looked up and finally found his opponent in the southeast corner.

It was a young Taoist priest wearing a white robe with red stripes, also looking around for his opponent.

When Chen Mu looked at him, he seemed to sense something, and his eyes turned towards him with a tense expression, but it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Danyang Wu clan..."

Chen Mu murmured, and the conditions of the various pulses that Yang Cheng had introduced to him in advance emerged in his mind.

This person's name is Wu Yunshan. He is good at Wu's fire magic and his mother's clan's mountain magic. He is also well-known in Zhongzhou. He is stronger than Zhao Tianhe of Piaomiao Taoist Temple.

It is worth mentioning that the Danyang Wu family has a very good relationship with Piaomiao Taoist Temple, and Wu Yunshan is also quite close to Zhao Tianhe.

This confrontation might just be what Wu Yunshan was thinking.

After all, ever since Zhao Tianhe was defeated, he has vowed to avenge him.

And being able to make such bold statements shows that he believes he can defeat Chen Mu...

Chen Mu smiled coldly, then calmed down and stopped looking. To him, Wu Yunshan and Zhao Tianhe were no different...

"Damn it, Hua Ye has always had good luck, why did he run into this kid this time..." At this time, Hua Meimei on the side spoke in frustration, causing Chen Mu to look at his hand.

"Ren character field."

Chen Mu's eyes moved and fell on a young Taoist priest carrying a long sword on his back.

In the Palace of Twenty-Four Swords, the Master of Jingzhe Sword appears at dawn.

The Twenty-Four Sword Palaces are one of the twenty-seven sects in Central Continent, but they are not well-known and have very few disciples, even fewer than Xian Jianchi, which is also a sword cultivation sect.

Xian Jianchi still has at least a thousand disciples, but in the entire Twenty-Four Sword Palace, the actual number of disciples does not exceed a hundred.

The reason why Hua Meimei didn't want to meet this person was because of the Jingzhe sword that Xian Tianming was carrying.

The inheritance of this sect is quite unique. All its combat power depends on the Taoist sword in its hands. Xian Tianming, who wields the Jingzhe Sword, once killed a cultivator of the same level with one blow, and even the Nascent Soul cultivator could not escape.

When Hua Meimei meets this person, it will be a difficult battle...

Hua Meimei kept muttering, especially when she saw Chen Mu's opponent, she felt more and more unbalanced.

However, Chen Mu didn't have time to listen to his mumbling, but instead looked intently at the platform.

The first battle for the Daozi championship was between Chunyangtian and Huanwozong.

Chen Mu had some understanding of both of them. Needless to say, Yang Cheng was born in the middle-to-upper-level Pure Yang Heaven, and his profound Yang skills were unfathomable.

Dudu once said that even if he wanted to defeat Yangcheng, it would not be an easy task.

This shows that Yangcheng is strong enough to be in the top ten.

But the Taoist who returned to my sect was much worse.

As early as when Liu Yuanzhang snatched the incense, Chen Mu saw that this person was just so-so and had not been able to cultivate his own martial arts to perfection, so his clone was not of much use.

If we compete with Yangcheng, we will be defeated within half an hour...

The result was just as he expected. Yang Cheng ignored the Taoist's method of splitting himself into two bodies and only focused on practicing his profound skills. A big sun illuminated the sky. Not long after, the Taoist from Huanwo Zong exhausted his magic power and hurriedly admitted defeat with a pale face.

"it is good!"

Hua Meimei was the first to cheer, and her previous depression disappeared, and she became quite supportive.

Yang Cheng returned with a hearty laugh, bowed to him, and said loudly, "I've set a good example for you all, so please don't let me spoil your fun!"

As they were talking, the second group of monks also came on stage. After greeting each other, they started to fight with their magic.

……

By dusk, the sky was filled with red clouds.

In a blink of an eye, six matches were over. In addition to Yang Cheng, a familiar person, Chu Mu also won the third match.

But at this time, it was Chen Mu's turn.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, just keep a normal mind. Wu Yunshan is just a name, but his true strength is not as good as Brother Yang's. With your ability, you should be able to win easily."

Before going on stage, Dudu chuckled.

After Chen Mu smiled and nodded, he stood up and strode towards the Daoshi platform under the gaze of thousands of people.

He held his head high and his back straight, walked calmly, and every move he made seemed to be ordained by heaven, with a unique Taoist charm.

Low-level cultivators only felt that it was extremely natural, while those with keen eyesight could see Chen Mu's extraordinary qualities.

"Could it be that this person's Nascent Soul is truly at the ninth level?"

Master Han Yuan was also secretly moved. Because of the restrictions set by Pingyang, he could not see through Chen Mu's qualifications.

I originally thought this was a trick set up by Pingyang, but today it seems that this boy does indeed possess the rhythm of the Great Dao...

Wu Yunshan was wearing a white robe with red stripes, standing with his hands behind his back in the breeze. With his handsome face, he looked like an immortal.

Looking at Chen Mu who was slowly approaching, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he unconsciously clenched the jade token in his hand tightly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen," he shouted, as if impatient, "Please give me some advice!"

After Master Han Yuan nodded, he raised all his magical powers, and the empty space around him suddenly became hot. With a flick of his hand, several beams of scorching fire rushed forward to kill him.

Chen Mu stood still, and suddenly a tide of water surged behind him. Before the scorching fire beam approached, a flash of water appeared from it, and the fire beam immediately turned into smoke and dissipated.

Wu Yunshan's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this. He opened his five fingers and a huge mountain appeared in the sky, falling towards Chen Mu.
