Chapter 501

The sky was clear and there were no clouds in the sky.

Mi Luo Peak was covered in strange flowers. There were red, pink, blue, violet … The flowers were beautiful and multicolored, and they emitted waves of wonderful fragrance that caused one to feel comfortable when smelling them.

A green jade staircase descended from the peak. It stood in the air and was surrounded by clear spring water. Shi Xuan led his ten disciples to the top of Mi Luo Peak in the depths of the white clouds under the guidance of the Luofu Sect cultivators.

The guide cultivator secretly glanced at Shi Xuan from time to time. His eyes were full of reverence and yearning. At the same time, he kept walking up the stairs.

The green jade staircase seemed to be very long, but Shi Xuan found himself at the top of Mi Luo Peak after only five steps. On Mi Luo Peak, white cranes danced and chirped. Other immortal beasts and auspicious beasts wandered among the white clouds. A path paved with green jade extended from the peak to the main hall that looked like a fairy palace.

After entering the main hall, there were already inner disciples of the Luofu Sect waiting. A female disciple wearing a pink dress walked up and said, "I'm Mei Le 'er. Senior Shi, please follow me."

Shi Xuan nodded. Under the guidance of Mei Le 'er, he walked to the first green bamboo table on the left side of the main hall. Behind the table was an apricot-yellow praying mat. Mei Le 'er smiled politely and said, "Senior Shi, please sit here." As for Luo Banshan, Tang Youqiu, Jiang Nianqiao, and the others, they could only stand behind Shi Xuan.

Hearing this, Shi Xuan sat cross-legged on the praying mat. Mei Le 'er took out a white jade plate out of nowhere. On it was a set of simple and elegant teacups and teapots. She poured tea for Shi Xuan skillfully. Then, she stood on the right side of Shi Xuan with her head held high. It seemed that she would be responsible for Shi Xuan's table from now on.

Shi Xuan had already looked at the main hall. There were two rows of two to three hundred tables. This meant that apart from the eight sects, there were many people from other small sects and rogue cultivators.

But he didn't know what the order was. If it was according to the strength of the sects, Penglai was no longer at an advantage in terms of Upper Grade Gold Core. As for Zhenren above the Primordial Spirit Realm, Meng Nishang of the Guang Han Sect had gone through three Divine Tribulations. If it was according to the cultivation of the congratulating cultivators, Shi Xuan didn't know where he would be ranked. So, Shi Xuan was a little puzzled. Why Penglai was still ranked first. Could it be because he had two Pure Yang magic weapons? Could it be according to the result of the last Boundless Dharma Meeting?

There were already many cultivators sitting in the main hall. Dong Yuanzi, whom Shi Xuan knew, was sitting behind the second table. When he saw Shi Xuan looking at him, he smiled and nodded in response. Lou Yizhi sat next to Shi Xuan. Gong Xujing and six other female disciples stood behind her. When she saw Shi Xuan looking at her, she also nodded, but her face was still as cold as ice.

Shi Xuan didn't know any of the other cultivators from small sects and rogue cultivators sitting in the back of the main hall. At the top of the main hall, there was a young man wearing a scholar's robe and a sash standing beside the white jade chair. He leaned slightly to the side, and his eyes seemed to be closed.

After a while, Ning Wuque, who was wearing a pure white Daoist robe, and a purple-haired young man in a black imperial robe, came together. This purple-haired cultivator's eyes flashed with a strange light, and the colors changed continuously. If any cultivator overestimated their abilities and looked at him, they might even feel their souls leaving their bodies. He walked straight to the table opposite Shi Xuan and sat down. He looked at the empty space in front of him with a focused expression, as if he was isolated from this world. He was the person that Dong Yuanzi mentioned yesterday, the Dark Sect's Lunhui King, who was currently ranked first on the Heavenly Mystery Roll.

Among the eight disciples he brought with him, two were in the Qi Drawing Realm, and six were in the Astral Projection Realm. Half of them were in black robes, and the other half were in white robes. However, they all emitted a dense Yin Qi, and it seemed like they were still unable to conceal this special aura.

Ning Wuque, on the other hand, sat next to Lou Yizhi. As for Shi Xuan, he didn't even look at him. Behind him were the eight wooden guards in crimson armor, the middle-aged cultivator, and the eight beautiful maids.

Behind them, Xu Yu, who was dressed in a plain white dress, and Lu Xiangrong, who was in a bright red Daoist robe, arrived with the disciples of their respective sects. Xu Yu sat next to Ning Wuque, while Lu Xiangrong, a veteran middle-grade Gold Core cultivator from the Heavenly Fire Sect, sat next to Dong Yuanzi. Similarly, a few years ago, the Heavenly Fire Sect finally had a superior-grade Gold Core cultivator, Dutian Fire Immortal Song Wenyao.

When all the tables in the hall were filled with cultivators, a clear voice resounded through the sky. Then, one after another, a man in his thirties dressed in a Yin-Yang Daoist robe walked in after a total of nine voices. He was tall and had a sharp face. There was a hint of leisure in his calmness.

Seeing him come in, the man in the scholar's robe cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations on attaining the Gold Core, Senior Brother Shen." Then, all the cultivators who were sitting cross-legged stood up. Whether it was Jindan Grandmaster or the Divine Soul Stage cultivators, they all said in unison, "Congratulations on attaining the Gold Core, Senior Brother Shen."

Shen Xian Yun walked slowly to the big white jade chair amidst the congratulatory voices. Then, he turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Shen Xian Yun thanks everyone. Everyone, please take a seat. "

After all the cultivators were seated, Shen Xian Yun sat on the big white jade chair. The man in the scholar's robe walked to the center and faced Shen Xian Yun. "Junior Brother Qiao Mubai congratulates Senior Brother on attaining the Gold Core on behalf of the sect." He clapped his hands, and two inner sect disciples carried two jade boxes. They walked to Shen Xian Yun's side and respectfully presented the jade boxes.

Shi Xuan thought, "So this is Bouncing Sword Mad Cultivator Qiao Mubai. Judging from his voice, he must be Jindan Grandmaster, who taught me an arrogant lesson in Tianji City years ago. He is now ranked fourth on the Tianji List, but judging from his expression, he is probably much more arrogant than Shi Xuan. I really don't know who said arrogant words."

After Qiao Mubai finished congratulating Shen Xian Yun, Mei Le 'er signaled Shi Xuan to come forward. Shi Xuan slowly stood up and walked to the middle aisle with Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu. He cupped his hands and bowed to Shen Xian Yun. "Junior Penglai Shi Xuan congratulates Senior Brother Shen on attaining the Gold Core on behalf of the sect." Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu bowed and walked up with the congratulatory gifts carefully selected by Spirit Star.

The small and medium-sized sects and individual cultivators below focused their attention on Shi Xuan. In the past two days, the number one swordsman below the Gold Core level had mastered the Sword Light Division, which made them inexplicably shocked. Shi Xuan rarely went out and it was difficult to visit him. Now, they naturally had to take a good look at him.

Shen Xian Yun silently received the congratulatory gifts and said lightly, "I thank Penglai." He paused for a while and then continued, "Is your teacher well?" He knew that Mo Yuan had become a Yin Master, but he could only ask this now.

Shi Xuan respectfully replied, "My teacher is well. He once told me that if Senior Brother Shen attains the Gold Core, I must come personally to congratulate him."

Shen Xian Yun smiled and said, "Good, very good." There was a hint of self-mockery.

Seeing that he did not say anything else, Shi Xuan bowed again and walked to the back of his table, passing by Qiao Mubai. Then, Shi Xuan's divine sense sensed Qiao Mubai's words, "You can restrain your arrogance and understand the mystery of the Sword Light Division in these years. Very good." There was a hint of admiration in his voice.

Shi Xuan could only say, "Senior Brother, you are too kind." If Qiao Mubai had been present at that time, the secret of his Sword Light Division would not have been hidden from him. After all, although Lou Yizhi was a Upper Grade Gold Core, he had not formed his Gold Core yet. Secondly, his swordsmanship was not as good as Qiao Mubai, who was a swordsman who had mastered the Sword Light Division.

Qiao Mubai snorted, "As a swordsman, how can we be so hypocritical? We can't restrain our arrogance and go to the other extreme. You must remember this. " He seemed to be interested in teaching others, but he had taught Shi Xuan a lesson because he thought he was too arrogant, which was in line with his character. Of course, it was also certain that he abhorred evil.

"Yes." Shi Xuan answered politely and then sat down cross-legged, watching the sects and individual cultivators coming to congratulate him one by one.

It was not until the sun was high up in the sky and it was noon that the congratulation was over. Then, the disciples and maids of the Luofu Sect entered one after another with jade plates in their hands. On top of the plates were immortal peaches and other immortal fruits and spirit fruits. Even though they were not very useful to a cultivator like Shi Xuan, the taste was really not bad. Thus, Shi Xuan did not put on an act and began to taste them without restraint. Among the majority of the cultivators who were reserved, he seemed very carefree.

Since Martial Uncle Shi had taken the lead, Tang Youqiu, Jiang Nianqiao, and other disciples also took the immortal and spiritual fruits and ate them. These immortal and spiritual fruits had a great effect on purifying the Divine Soul and strengthening the physique. Of course, after they came down, they still had to cultivate and digest them step by step. Otherwise, the benefits would become disadvantages.

In the passageway, some of the maids of the Luofu Sect began to dance. Lou Yizhi was beside Shi Xuan, so he could not chat with them. He could only watch them dance and eat the peaches of immortality.

After a quarter of an hour, the disciples and maids of the Luofu Sect came in again and took the jade plates away. At this moment, Qiao Mubai stood up and said loudly, "The day before yesterday, our eight sects agreed to let the disciples have a spar after the ceremony today, so that they can have more experience in fighting, so that they won't be at a disadvantage when they travel outside in the future."

As soon as he said this, the cultivators of the small and medium-sized sects and individual cultivators were all delighted. It was really an unexpected joy to be able to see the spar of the eight sects. Although their cultivation was far higher than those disciples and they did not need to spy on anything, they could still see how the eight sects trained their disciples from the performance of the disciples of the eight sects, so that they could accumulate experience for their own sects or their own disciples. Another reason why they were excited was that watching a show was indeed not a bad thing. They could totally treat it as a Mini Vast Dharma Assembly.

After Qiao Mubai finished speaking, he pointed his finger, and the passageway of the main hall emitted a faint clear light. Then, it gathered upwards and finally turned into a battle stage with a circumference of several hundred feet. There was a winding staircase on both sides of the stage.

"I wonder which sect's disciple is willing to go first?" Qiao Mubai looked at the cultivators of the other seven sects.

Ning Wuque stood up without hesitation. "My Blood Demon Sect is willing, but our designated opponent is Penglai." As he spoke, he looked at Shi Xuan with a mocking smile, and a hint of craziness burned in his eyes.

Hu, the other cultivators outside of the eight sects all gasped. They did not expect that the battle would be so tense right from the start. However, when they thought about it, it made sense. That Shi Xuan of Penglai had a grudge against the Blood Demon Sect.

Qiao Mubai looked at Shi Xuan and asked, "I wonder if Penglai is willing to accept the challenge?"
