Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 191 Zhongzhou (Please subscribe, please vote)

"I didn't reveal all my cards when I took action today, but my Yin Spirit power has already shown the strength of the late stage of driving things. Above my Taoist cultivation, I don't have much strength left to hide."

"Tomorrow's match schedule only has three rounds. As long as I win consecutive games, I can get into the top ten."

"The purpose of this inner courtyard competition is to compete for a spot in the Biyou Yinyang Lake. Therefore, this competition doesn't necessarily determine the strongest. However, there's a high chance I'll encounter the top ten inner courtyard players beforehand, or even more than one."

Shi Yi was very clear about the arrangement of the inner courtyard battles. Although it seemed random, when the battles were actually arranged, the previous ten battles in the inner courtyard would be staggered.

This is an unspoken rule and also a recognition of the top ten in the inner courtyard.

Having achieved such a record before, one can naturally enjoy certain preferential treatments. Therefore, to replace the top ten in the inner courtyard, one basically has to compete with the top ten in the inner courtyard and defeat them in order to get the place in their hands.

If you are unlucky, it is possible to meet the top ten in the inner courtyard consecutively, but this will only happen twice at most, and the battle arrangements will be staggered.

Shi Yi only participated in the inner courtyard competition this year, so he will definitely meet opponents among the top ten in the inner courtyard, but it is not certain whether he will meet them twice.

He watched today and saw the top ten masters of the inner courtyard also display some tricks, but from what he understood, basically none of them used their trump cards, and each of them had something hidden.

Although Shi Yi's accumulation of Yin Shen was not complete, his accumulation of Yin Shen power was already very strong, no worse than those at the peak level of driving objects, and even his accumulation was stronger than the other party.

Practicing multiple main techniques has accumulated much more Yin Shen for him than other Taoist practitioners. Therefore, if he can complete the accumulation of Yin Shen, the power of Yin Shen will be much stronger than other ordinary Taoist practitioners. Therefore, when fighting in the inner courtyard, Shi Yi was not worried about the problem of Yin Shen's power.

In this regard, he is definitely no worse than others, and may even be slightly better.

However, the competition in the inner courtyard is not only a competition of Yin God's power, but also a competition of Taoism, magic tools and other means.

This is also the reason why Shi Yi is not completely sure. Because of his martial arts skills, some of his methods cannot be used, so he is subject to certain restrictions. In this regard, it is actually unfriendly to him, but this is also Shi Yi's choice.

As far as Shi Yi knew, there were more than 20,000 people participating in the inner courtyard competition this time. All of them were inner disciples who had been promoted to the realm of driving objects before the age of 25. Moreover, these people were all under 40 years old. The total number of people was even more than Shi Yi had expected.

Among them, there are some people who did not participate in the inner courtyard competition for various reasons. Therefore, the number of inner disciples in the inner courtyard is more than the people who came to participate in the battle.

In the Taiyi Dao Sect, as long as these inner disciples arrange their bodies properly, they can exert the combat power of the bone-refining martial artist level. The combined combat power is even more terrifying. Shi Yi doesn't want to imagine what the result will be if so many masters come out in full force.

Of course, this is also the power gathered in the entire Beiyuan State.

Although it is not the entire force, some people joined the court and served the court, some joined some smaller sects in Beiyuan Province, and some were affiliated forces of Taiyi Dao Sect. As for the remaining independent cultivators, their number may be the largest, but there are very few who can achieve success in their cultivation!

However, the power gathered within the Taiyi Dao Sect alone is extremely terrifying when added together, and this is not the full power of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

Inner disciples who cannot be promoted after the age of forty will become managers, deacons and the like of Taiyi Dao Sect. Above the inner disciples are elite disciples, core disciples, true disciples, elders, etc., and the combat power of these people is more terrifying than each other.

The more Shi Yi understood the situation of Taiyi Dao Sect, the more he felt that Taiyi Dao Sect was not simple. However, this powerful force was only based in Beiyuan Prefecture and was not the most powerful force in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are many forces at the same level as the Taiyi Taoist Sect.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had three capitals and seventeen states. The three capitals were controlled by the royal family, and other forces did not dare to interfere openly, otherwise they would be targeted by the royal family. The seventeen states were on the same level as Beiyuan State, and there were at least sixteen other similar powerful forces.

Although not all of them are forces that practice Taoism, there are also forces that mainly practice martial arts, but their overall combat power is not inferior to that of the Taiyi Sect.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, which gathered so many powerful forces, only occupied a corner of Zhongzhou and was not the master of Zhongzhou. This made Shi Yi realize how complicated the entire Zhongzhou was.

Near the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are dynasties such as Gongshu Kingdom, the Ancient Kingdom of Southern Xinjiang, Yunzhong Kingdom, Canglang Khanate, and Icefield Kingdom. Each one is not simple and has many masters.

There are also some forces mainly composed of sects and business alliances that are not under the control of the royal power and occupy a certain area independently.

In addition, Zhongzhou is also home to the two most famous holy places in the entire Zhongzhou.

Jixia Academy and Zhengyi Taoism.

Previously, there were four holy places in Zhongzhou, but now there are only these two.

The number of holy places has decreased, but no one doubts the strength of these two holy places. Even the major dynasties dare not provoke the power they control, because such a powerful force has the power to change the dynasty.

It is also because these two holy places have never openly interfered in the affairs of the major dynasties, otherwise these two major forces could stir up greater disputes and make the entire Zhongzhou more chaotic.

When Shi Yi came to the Central World and got to know this world initially, he also thought about joining these two holy places. After all, everyone wanted to join such a powerful force.

However, after extensive investigation, he discovered that the difficulty of joining these two holy places was extremely high and could basically be ignored.

After he entered the county town, given his status at the time, it was basically impossible for him to go through Wanliu Academy and join the Jixia Academy.

It seems that there is a chance to join the Jixia Academy, but in fact, it is impossible.

Because the quota for Wanliu Academy to join the Jixia Academy has long been controlled by the powerful and wealthy, ordinary people have no access to it at all, and the path to advancement has been determined.

Previously, those who were able to join the Jixia Academy from Wanliu Academy were basically powerful and wealthy, and there was not a single ordinary person.

Even if he shows enough potential, various accidents may occur and he may miss the opportunity regretfully.

This kind of thing had happened before, and given his status at the time, he had no control over it.

He alone cannot change this situation.

In this world, this situation is very normal.

The path to promotion is basically controlled by power. Even if there are opportunities left, you have to be alive to take them. Sometimes, they are taken out just to show others, and the ownership has already been determined.

On the contrary, joining the Taiyi Taoist sect was a natural thing for Shi Yi and there was no danger because it was not controlled by local dignitaries. His smooth journey was a good proof of this.

As for the advanced Taoist techniques required for cultivation, he is different from others and has no shortage of them.

On the contrary, he needed to hide something so as not to be discovered that he was practicing the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" in the Great Putuo Temple. This would be a disaster for him, and he must never reveal it when he was not strong enough.

Shi Yi had fought with others during the day, and his Yin Shen power was consumed a lot. He also took the pills prepared in advance to restore the Yin Shen power, and did not use the Yin Shen characteristics of Tathagata, "All Buddhas come, Tathagata remains unchanged."

For him, saving the elixir was more important than hiding Tathagata's Yin Shen characteristics.

"Tomorrow I will try my best to get into the top ten. But even if I don't, considering my current performance, it won't be a waste of time. Master Gu will know and won't say anything. He might even give me some other rewards."

"Also, this confrontation has further enhanced my control over the Golden Crow Divine Fire." "My cultivation of Taoism hasn't been sufficient, and I haven't used it in direct confrontations with others very often, so I haven't had a good grasp of my combat power."

"It was also the eight consecutive matches over the past two days that significantly improved my combat abilities. I also learned how to seize opportunities and win."

"Watching other people's battles has also given me a lot of insights. These are experiences that cannot be gained through closed-door hard training. The next time there is such an inner courtyard competition, I will still participate."

"Within the sect, participating in this kind of inner sect competition is not dangerous, and you can also gain a lot. In the future, when you go out, if you encounter someone with bad intentions, you will have the strength to deal with them."

Shi Yi sat cross-legged, sorting out the harvest of the past few days.

The Taiyi Dao sect specially arranged for the inner court competition and devoted a lot of energy to it, which naturally had its reasons.

All the inner disciples who participated in it could gain something.

However, compared to the inner courtyard competition, the sect competition held every three years is what truly affects everyone. At that time, all disciples need to participate, and it is a test for all disciples.

From menial disciples to true disciples, everyone needs to take action, and of course their opponents are people of the same status.

At that time, all the immortal masters who are in seclusion in the sect will show up.

When the outstanding disciples finally fought each other, the Taiyi Dao Sect would invite some nearby forces to come into Wangyue Mountain to watch the battle. It was very loud and lively. Shi Yi had heard other people talk about it, but had never seen such a scene.

This is also a way for Taiyi Dao Sect to show its strength to the outside world.

In the sect competition held every three years, those who perform outstandingly can be promoted to a higher status.

Some people use this method to improve their status.

For example, if you get first place in the inner courtyard competition, you can be directly promoted to an elite disciple without any assessment or Taoist cultivation requirements.

It can be said that the first place in the inner courtyard competition, even if the Taoist cultivation cannot be promoted to the Yuandan level, but with the support of the elite disciples' cultivation resources, it can soon be promoted to the Yuandan level.

In the Taiyi Dao Sect, the higher one's status, the more precious the cultivation resources one can obtain.

Some cultivation resources that inner disciples cannot access can be easily obtained by elite disciples.

The cultivation resources within the sect are provided to the upper levels.

After absorbing these gains, Shi Yi did not continue to stay up late to practice. He went straight into the house and went to sleep to rest.

Tomorrow is the last day of the competition. He needs to stay in the best condition and have a good rest. This is the best option for him.

early morning.

Fighting arena.

The fight went on as scheduled, and the number of people watching did not decrease.

Near the fighting arena, the deacons and others specially opened up a space for the participating disciples to use for breathing exercises.

The entire space is larger than yesterday.

Shi Yi was also there at this time. Next to him was a medicine bottle containing a Sanqi Huishen Pill, which was used to restore the consumption of the Yin Spirit.

Everyone who participates in today's competition can get one for free.

After the first fight, the number of pills the winner can get will increase. When the number of pills reaches three, by the third fight, a whole bottle of ten pills will be provided.

Whether the sect has used up the money or not is up to the individual to arrange. The sect does not care whether it is used to exchange for sect contribution points later. This is also part of the winner's reward resources.

At this time, those who were waiting for the battle all closed their eyes to adjust their breathing, and lit nourishing incense beside them.

The smoke is lingering, as if offering sacrifices to the gods.

People watching from afar were waiting for the final fight to begin.

Not long after, when the sun came out, an elder announced the start of today's competition.

As of today, the competition is no longer presided over by masters of the Dharma Realm, but by elders of the Zuowang Realm.

On the high platform not far away, more and more people were watching the battle.

In the previous inner courtyard competition, not many senior officials came to watch the battle, because the competition was not fierce at the beginning and it was rare for masters to meet in advance. Therefore, there was no need for the senior officials to watch the battle.

However, now that it is the last day of the inner court competition, more and more people come to watch the battle.

The inner disciples who can reach this stage are all strong. If they want to select disciples or followers, they will choose from them. Those who perform outstandingly will be favored in advance. After their Taoism skills are promoted and they pass the elite disciple assessment, they will be accepted into the mountain.

This is also the path that most of the inner disciples in the inner courtyard have to take. Compared with the more than 20,000 inner disciples who came to participate in the war, there are not that many people like Shi Yi who were accepted as registered disciples in advance.

Of course, those who were accepted as registered disciples in advance have already completed their apprenticeship, and their future paths have already been arranged, so there will basically be no incidents of disciples being snatched away.

Previously, Bai Tianya wanted to recruit Shi Yi as his disciple because Shi Yi had not yet become Gu Qianqiu's disciple. However, the situation is different now. Shi Yi is already Gu Qianqiu's disciple. Even though Bai Tianya knows that Shi Yi has great potential, he will not act like that again.

In the sect, there are not many cases of competing for disciples. These senior figures at the elder level are all sharp-eyed. They will accept the people they like as their disciples in advance and basically will not give others the opportunity to snatch them away.

Once the master-disciple ceremony is completed, the matter is settled and there will be no other variables.

"Zhuo Boyan of the Long Scenic Area versus Lin Zhixing of the Mountain Scenic Area."

"Falling Cloud Area"

It wasn't long before the duel was arranged.

All twenty fighting platforms are still in use.

Following the elder's announcement, those participating in the duel came on stage to fight.
