Chapter 425: Immortal Cultivators and Practitioners
As the youngest among the contemporary disciples of the Supreme Taoist Sect, Zhao Ruoming actually felt quite pressured.
In other words, he has been under a lot of pressure ever since he started practicing.
The son of the founder was born with innate supernatural powers.
Just for this reason, no matter what achievements he makes, many people will attribute it to his father, Hong Zun, the founder of the Supreme Taoist Sect.
And he... couldn't refute it.
You can't say that he has relied entirely on himself in his practice so far, right?
That would be too hypocritical.
Because of this, Zhao Ruoming has always been thinking about proving himself.
In the previous Immortal Sect Competition, he was not yet a Taoist disciple of the Supreme Taoist Sect, and his realm was only Golden Core.
For some unknown reason, Chi Jiuyu did not participate in the competition that year. Although the process was difficult, he eventually won first place in the Jindan group.
But last year was different...
Zhao Ruoming thought back to what happened in the previous session and gradually calmed down: "It's still unknown who will win, but the previous failure will never happen again."
"Oh." Chi Jiuyu scratched his head.
This brother who was beaten into a dog was acting strangely. When I asked him about the conditions for triggering his innate supernatural powers, he said these things inexplicably.
Isn't this a irrelevant answer?
Forget it.
Her, the Nine Fish Ancestor, could not communicate well with such a person whose thinking was not normal.
So, Chi Jiuyu stopped talking to him and started chatting with Zhao Ruohan instead. The two of them had a very pleasant chat.
Zhao Ruoming, who witnessed it all, understood it clearly.
Sure enough, only his mentally ill sister can get along with a very abstract person like Chi Jiuyu.
But what is undeniable is that... abstract as it may be, Chi Jiuyu is indeed amazing.
In the last Immortal Sect Competition, he participated in the Nascent Soul group, and had considerable confidence in winning the championship before the start.
But when the competition really started, he discovered that there were more monsters than one.
What impressed him most were the two contestants from the Hehuan Sect who had cultivated the supreme inheritance of "self". Their magical powers were so exaggerated that they were abnormal!
Fortunately, I managed to win in the end.
After that, he faced Chi Jiuyu.
That was the darkest day in Zhao Ruoming's life. Before that day, he always thought that no matter how strong one was in the Nascent Soul stage, that was all.
But almost from the moment the fight started, he was at a disadvantage.
No matter which magical power he used, Chi Jiuyu easily broke it. It could be said to be a one-sided crushing.
In terms of supernatural powers, realm, fighting experience, every aspect is superior to him!
After struggling to hold on for a few minutes, Chi Jiuyu's words "boring" finally broke his defense, so he used his innate magical power - Qianyuan Immortal Jade Purity Mysterious Light.
Say it first!
That's not because he was beaten and cried!
It's just that my persistence was shattered by my own hands, so I can't help myself...
Just like what Sheng Huangyuan said, men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are heartbroken.
I really wasn’t beaten to tears!!!
In short, after using the Qianyuan Immortal Jade Purity Mysterious Light, he was finally able to compete with it.
But in the end, he was defeated by her.
Even though he was unwilling, he couldn't win, and he wouldn't deny that!
Since then, he has been practicing hard and honing his supernatural powers in order to defeat her in the next Immortal Sect Competition!
Thirty years in Hedong...
No, not that long.
Three years in the east, three years in the west, don't bully the young...
jingle!
The sudden message alert interrupted Zhao Ruoming's thoughts.
Or 'special concern'.
Zhao Ruohan and Chi Jiuyu paused and turned to look at him.
Zhao Ruoming also discovered this after taking out his mobile phone.
"..."
I glanced at the phone screen and saw that the person who sent the message was marked as 'Zhiwei', and it was a voice message.
"It has nothing to do with you, just chat about your own things."
As he spoke, he took out a pair of headphones from his storage ring and put them on. They were a fairly high-end product that could prevent others from eavesdropping.
After all, practitioners have sharp ears and eyes, and without special protective measures, ordinary headphones are no different from speaking loudly in their ears.
Zhao Ruoming moved to the side, making sure that they couldn't see the contents of the phone before clicking on the voice message.
"Brother Ruoming, have you arrived at the Sword Sect?"
The voice is pleasant to the ear, but gives people a crisp and clear feeling, reminiscent of a dashing woman in a red dress and with her hair tied up standing in the snow.
A smile appeared on Zhao Ruoming's face.
emm...
"Your brother's smile is a bit obscene." Chi Jiuyu said to Zhao Ruohan.
You can tell at first glance that he is imagining something!
"It's always like this." Zhao Ruohan paused and added, "It looks stupid, so I think he was beaten stupid by you."
"It does look alike." Chi Jiuyu exclaimed in amazement. "Is it possible that his innate divine power would have no side effects, such as lowering IQ or something?"
"Normally no, but he... I'm not sure."
Zhao Ruoming was completely immersed in the news about 'Zhiwei' and didn't care what the two said.
Master Xiaoyu still looked as calm and composed as ever.
The matter of Zhao Ruoming's junior uncle was no longer a secret in the Supreme Dao Sect. But for some reason, the founder and the Taoist master didn't care.
……
……
Soon after, it was arranged to be near the residence of the Tai Shang Dao Sect's participating team.
There are green trees on both sides of the road, the air is rich in spiritual energy, and from time to time you can see a few fruit trees, with some unripe and some ripe spiritual fruits hanging from them.
Although it is edible, its medicinal value and taste are very average, so it is used as a decoration.
Xu Xing was standing next to a tree, looking into the distance.
"It's almost time to arrive."
He was free anyway, and thinking that the team from Tai Shang Dao Sect would be arriving soon, he decided to come over to take a look.
Zhao Ruohan is of the same character as Jiuyu, both of them are not normal in their minds, and she also has a twin brother...
Sure enough, I saw a number of flying shuttles coming from the horizon, and as they got closer, their speed gradually slowed down.
Without stopping any longer, Xu Xing walked forward.
Before they had walked far, several figures appeared one after another from the corner ahead.
The person walking in front and leading the way was Chi Jiuyu, followed by Master Xiaoyu, Zhao Ruohan and a group of contestants from Taishang Dao Sect.
However, Zhao Ruoming was walking at the end, lagging behind by a large margin. He was wearing headphones and staring down at the screen of his mobile phone.
With that level of concentration, if he hadn't already reached divine power, he would have probably run headfirst into a tree.
Sure enough, another abnormal one.
Soon, a group of people walked by one after another, and did not notice Xu Xing was right beside them.
Until Zhao Ruoming came close, Xu Xing was ready to greet the son of Fellow Daoist Hongzun and give him a gift or something...
However, Zhao Ruoming didn't even raise his head and walked straight past Xu Xing.
Ok?
I turned around and looked at him, only to see that he was staring at the screen of his mobile phone, smiling from time to time, but he was completely immersed in the conversation.
As for who just passed by...
He probably didn't care at all.
"..."
Interesting, it seems that it is not the right time to meet now.
Xu Xing smiled and did not choose to disturb him. He shook his head slightly and walked away.
I just didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Hongzun himself was so...
But his son is so...
It's really hard to predict what's going on.
…………
On the other side, under the leadership of Chi Jiuyu, the participating team of Tai Shang Dao Zong quickly allocated the rooms.
Zhao Ruoming arrived later, so he was only assigned a room with average overall conditions, but the difference wasn't too big.
After that, it’s time for free activities.
If you have familiar friends in the Sword Sect, you can visit them and have a hangout together.
Of course, as the oldest sect in the Taixuan Realm, most people were staying in their rooms, and no one knew what they were doing.
In the end, only one or two who were not so covetous chose to go out.
It wasn't that he was going to visit someone, but rather he was going to go to the Sword Sect's Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to handle some formalities, and then find a place to collect the Sword Sect's Qi of heaven and earth.
The Sword Sect gathers the largest number of sword cultivators in the Taixuan Realm, so even the Qi of heaven and earth itself has been affected to a certain extent. If used for refining magic, there is a certain probability that it will have some additional characteristics.
Even if you can't use it yourself, you can bring it back to the sect and sell it. The Qi of Heaven and Earth collected by the inner sect of the Sword Sect is still quite popular.
For example, some of the magical powers of the Lingxiao lineage require a lot of sword energy from various sword cultivators.
Zhao Ruohan did not choose to go out, but stayed in the room and studied with Chi Jiuyu the basic information of the trial site of the Immortal Sect Competition, which is the Xuanxiang Realm.
There is not much content. It just briefly introduces the basic situation of the cultivation system in the Xuanxiang Realm, and does not even explain what forces exist in the world.
It feels like some of it was deliberately left out.
The specific rules of this competition will not be officially announced until tomorrow.
On the sofa in front of the window, Chi Jiuyu and Zhao Ruohan were comparing the two pieces of information issued.
But apart from some different wording, the specific content is almost the same.
"This competition is mysterious and doesn't seem easy." Chi Jiuyu muttered.
In the past, most of the time it was about solving problems, two-on-two battles, or big melees or something like that.
"Yeah." Zhao Ruohan also nodded slightly, "I asked my mother, and she only told me that this Immortal Sect Competition is a test."
"Yes, yes! My master also said so. He said it was to pave the way for some things in the future."
The Riddler is the worst!
"Come to think of it, all the practitioners in this Xuanxiang world call themselves 'immortal cultivators'. Will this be useful in the upcoming competition?" Zhao Ruohan guessed.
"'Immortal cultivator', it's just a title no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't have any special meaning, right?" Chi Jiuyu rubbed his chin.
Just like the term "practitioners" in the Taixuan Realm, it should just be a name for a specific group of people.
"After all, their Fanxu still calls themselves 'Xianzun'. If we two can enter as spirits, maybe we can also get a 'Xianzun title'."
"Makes sense."
Maybe I just think too much.
"Let's see what the format of the competition will be. If the rules are relatively free, you can investigate if you are interested."
What a big deal! (End of this chapter)
