According to Qing Hong's settings, one of the three phoenixes would hover above the parasol tree and could be captured with bamboo and sweet spring water. The other one would soar in the sky, ten times faster than the goshawk and almost as fast as the Ground Fairies. Only by catching up with it in terms of speed could this phoenix be subdued. As for the third phoenix, it would transform into the appearance of another bird and hide in the dark. Ordinary people could not find it at all. Only intelligent people could find it.
On the second day, this phoenix soared in the sky. In other words, it had been flying in the sky since the first day. This was a golden phoenix that was compatible with the sunlight. It hid in the light and was not noticed by people. However, on the second day, the phoenix slowed down and was finally noticed by the immortals.
"Eh?" Qian Zhen stood on the clouds and noticed that the auspicious clouds in the sky were uncoordinated. "Something's not right. Is there something flying in the clouds?" He secretly activated the Heart of Earth Text and caught a trace in the sky illuminated by the light.
"It's in the sky!" He took out a large net and dropped it down. The clouds were all covered by the golden net. The phoenix in the golden net flashed and disappeared. Divine Gang Qi cut through the net, and Qian Zhen flew out.
"What a powerful force!" He was shocked and quickly shouted, "Yuanchu, Jing Xuan, I found it!" With his shout, Jing Xuan and Zhang Yuanchu immediately came to help. The golden phoenix spread its wings and sped up, leaving the encirclement of the three.
"No, this phoenix is too fast! Everyone, be careful! "Jing Xuan shouted, reminding all the immortals present to be on their guard.
Zhang Yuanchu held up the golden umbrella. "Everyone, let's compete fairly. Don't hurt the harmony because of a mere phoenix. I will illuminate its tracks. Everyone, let's attack together. "He threw the umbrella into the sky to block the sunlight and finally forced out the true form of the golden phoenix.
It was a huge phoenix with a wingspan of dozens of feet. Its wide wings swept the clouds, and its magnificent tail feathers rippled in the sky.
"Attack!" Everyone attacked at the same time. Jing Xuan's Supreme Invisible Sword Qi, Zhang Yuanchu's Moral Jade Light, Qian Zhenzi's Taichong Sword Technique, the Sky Snake Dao's Spirit Snake Sword Technique, and the Tushita Palace's Tushita Divine Fire …
All sorts of attacks were launched, and the phoenix let out a shrill cry. Its wings stirred up a strong gale that blew Jing Xuan and the others down from the sky. Beams of celestial light fell to the ground. Meanwhile, the phoenix itself once again disappeared from sight, once again flying at high speed in the sky.
Li Jingxun and Zhou Yaner withdrew from the battle. When they saw this scene, they took the initiative to take out medicine to help them heal. They also set up a rest area, providing free water and some simple snacks.
"Junior Sister, you run the Heavenly Treasure Restaurant, and your culinary skills are superb. Are you going to bring this to the cultivation world?" Qing Hong smiled when he saw the various snacks made by Li Jingxun.
Immortal food was indeed a brand new revolution for the cultivation world.
The Taiqing Sect Master put down the feather fan that was about to be repaired and looked out of the forest. He evaluated, "She is very suitable to be the sect master. In her hands, Daode Buddhism is more than enough to be preserved. "
As a sect master, the most important thing was not strength, but the ability to handle affairs steadily and have a good relationship with the various sects.
Back then, the reason why the Taiqing Sect Master became the sect master was because he was enthusiastic and cheerful. He could build a good relationship with many immortals of the same generation. Therefore, the previous sect master did not pass it to the disciples with higher cultivation levels. Instead, he passed it to the Taiqing Sect Master who had a weaker cultivation level. After that, the Taiqing Sect was on good terms with the various sects and continued to hold the number one position of the Grand Supreme Dao Lineage. Among them, the Taiqing Sect Master's popularity could not be ignored.
At the same time, there were also some counterexamples. Some sects had entrusted the position of sect master to the wrong person. Although they chose powerful immortals as their leaders, their ability to cause trouble was top-notch. They often had conflicts with other immortals, and in the end, they fell out with many sects that were originally friendly. They could still maintain the sect by relying on their supreme abilities, but what about when they ascended, went into seclusion, or left?
The Taiqing Sect Master said to Qing Hong meaningfully, "The foundation of a large sect is ultimately not supported by the strength of a single person. Otherwise, when this person leaves, wouldn't the sect immediately return to its original state? Only with a strong cultivation foundation, wide connections, and a trump card to make a comeback can the orthodoxy be maintained for a long time. "
Qing Hong deeply agreed. Wasn't the Taiqing Sect Master referring to Yunxiao Pavilion?
With the connections left behind by Yunxiao Pavilion back then, he and Yuzhi Female Celestial could easily rope in a large group of immortal seniors. It was precisely because of the cultivation techniques, Dharma treasures and Cloud Sky Pavilion left behind by Yunxiao Pavilion that he and Yuzhi Female Celestial could be where they were today.
Giving up on fighting for the True Artifact and points, Li Jingxun chose to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with the junior immortals of the various sects. Although it was a little hypocritical, as the leader of a sect, it was a necessary element.
In a bird catching operation, some people took the opportunity to make a fortune, some took the opportunity to build a relationship, and some put all their energy into this game to have fun. As Qing Hong said, everyone had their own choices.
Qinghong smiled. "I quite like her too. Junior Sister's skills and maneuvers are really not bad." The original intention of Qing Hong's Innumerable Immortals Meeting was to stop the immortals from fighting and kill each other, and to make harmony the most important factor.
Even if it was a bird catching operation that was almost like a game, it could cause immortals to fight each other, which would cause a bloody battle, and eventually lead to a chaotic fight between the major sects. This was why there were rarely such large-scale fights between the profound sects. Because it was not easy to control.
Li Jingxun understood this, so on the first day when he got the phoenix feather, he decisively withdrew. From the second day, he helped Qing Hong maintain order, dispelling everyone's desire to fight, and really saw this event as a game between immortals, not a fight to the death.
Jing Xuan and the other immortals fell to the ground. She and Zhou Yaner, the two girls, smiled and gave the immortals soup, soothing the anger and resentment in their hearts, and led the group of people to discuss the origin of the phoenix in the sky.
Li Jingxun pretended to say casually, "From what I see, that phoenix's speed is comparable to Ground Fairies, so it's definitely not a spirit monster or spirit beast that was enlightened. I'm afraid it's a true treasure of some Ground Fairies. By the way, do you know who likes to use phoenix-type magic treasures? "
An overseas immortal first thanked Zhou Yaner, who gave him snacks, and then said to Li Jingxun, who was holding an empty plate next to him, "When it comes to phoenixes, isn't there one person in the world who cultivates the path of phoenixes?"
"Senior Feng? I remember he has a successor … "Zhu Xian slapped his forehead and immediately thought of Bi Rong." That's right, Bi Rong saw him chatting with people from Yunxiao Pavilion yesterday! Come, let's go find him! "
Bi Rong had inherited Feng Qianli's legacy, so he didn't care about a mere true treasure. He was chatting with people from Yunxiao Pavilion and didn't care about catching birds at all. For him, building a good relationship with people from the same path was much more valuable than a mere true treasure.
Su Yu, Fu Yutang, Bi Rong, and other disciples were chatting together, talking about their experiences in cultivation. Then, Jing Xuan and the others came to find them.
Bi Rong was asked by the immortals, so he told them the truth, "If it's a magic treasure of Master, I'm afraid it's a phoenix feather taken from that Sky Immortal's treasure. That's a magic treasure left behind by a phoenix, so it naturally comes with a phoenix true treasure. If Yuzhi Female Celestial used a phoenix feather to transform into a phoenix, it would indeed be comparable to the speed of Ground Fairies. In any case, I can't catch up. "
"It's indeed difficult to catch up with the speed of Ground Fairies."
"Then should we work together to lure it down? Is it the same method Junior Sister Li used yesterday? "
"I don't think that guy Qing Hong will use the same trick again. Presumably, this phoenix must be subdued by speed?"
Qian Zhenzi: "How about we slow it down? Let's work together to cast a spell on the ground to increase the gravity of the entire island and force the eagles and phoenixes to fall together. "
"That's a good idea. But to make the speed of Ground Fairies be subdued by others, the gravity requirement is very high. "
At least a hundred times stronger than normal gravity would be able to slow down the phoenix.
After hearing this, Mu Sheng gave the immortals an idea, "If the phoenix and eagles keep flying in the sky, why don't we all try our luck together? All the immortals form a formation on the ground, each delineate a part of their territory, then sit and see where the phoenix lands? "
"That's a good idea."
The immortals felt that it was reasonable. Except for some immortals who were unwilling to participate, most of the immortals gathered in a square formation.
This formation was nine hundred and ninety-nine feet long and was divided into small squares like a chessboard. Then, they continuously cast various spells on the territory they were in to increase the attractiveness of the area. Finally, all the immortals worked together to draw all the flying objects above the island into this formation. As for where the phoenix landed, it was all up to the will of the heavens.
The formation's light shot into the sky, and the entire sky above the island was captured by the light. All kinds of objects automatically fell. Su Yu happened to be there, and a golden light flew to her side. She turned her hand and cast the Four Pillars of Chaos Heaven technique. Four rays of Celestial Light covered the golden light, and she held the phoenix feather in her hand.
"Su Yu." In the Emerald Cloud Forest, the Ground Fairies all had different thoughts when they saw this scene.
Su Yu was born in Yunxiao Pavilion. Although she was an ancient Qi Practitioner, she was still a citizen of Middle Earth. In the end, the overseas immortals generously said, "She is an immortal from Middle Earth, so we'll go according to the immortals of Middle Earth. We'll let you have the heavenly ship."
"Not at all, not at all. Let's wait and see what happens in the third round." The leader of Daode Buddhism and the others quickly became humble and waited for the results on the third day.
On the second day, the immortals worked together to collect all the eagles in the sky. On the third day, it was quieter. Apart from an immortal from Tushita Path who accidentally bumped into the third phoenix, there were only a few sparrows left.
However, before the final score was tallied, the low-level disciples all started to set up stalls and sell the sparrows they caught.
To them, points were only worth a few pills. But to a peak-level human immortal, it was a shortcut to immortality.
From then on, Hong Qing and Zhou Yi saw a business opportunity. They first bought the sparrows from the low-level disciples, then sold them at a high price, and made a profit.
"It looks like these low-level disciples won't be of much use in the next two rounds. At most, they'll just earn some points. "Qing Hong, Kuang Qu, and the others counted the three types of spiritual birds that they had turned in.
In the end, only 1,283 people turned in their spiritual birds. The others either didn't collect them, or they sold them to others.
After Bai Zheng tallied the points of each person, he announced it to the eight venues, "What do you say? Are you still letting them participate in the second round? "
"It's a bit unreasonable to say that they're not allowed to participate." Qing Hong pondered for a while, then came up with a plan, "How about this, each of you leave a sparrow or a goshawk for each of the thousand people. We'll move the venue of the second round to the mountain. Let them use the oriole and the goshawk to fly there. Those who don't have them naturally can't participate, and they won't be able to say anything. "
"That's a good idea." Kuang Qu's eyes lit up, "It's them who took the initiative to give away the spiritual birds they caught, so they can't go to the venue, and naturally can't participate."
"The rules don't need to be too strict. If they can find another way to go up the mountain, they can also participate. We're just giving them a way by using the birds. "Qing Hong collected the thousand birds, and after casting a curse on them, he asked for a True Artifact from the Emerald Cloud Forest.
This was the Three Mountains and Nine Palaces Diagram left behind by the Ground Fairies of the Heaven's Gate Path. It was a Qiankun type magic artifact made by refining a mountain range into a divine diagram.
Qing Hong unfolded the True Artifact, and layers of immortal mountains appeared in the void.
"The second round will be held here. Everyone will use the spiritual birds they obtained in the first round to fly into the immortal mountains for the second round. The time limit is one day! "
The second round was the Path of Tempering the Heart, which could be said to be the most traditional method for the Profound Gate Immortals. From the moment they entered the immortal mountains, they entered the Path of Tempering the Heart. There were all sorts of illusions and bewildering formations along the way, and they had to pass through all of them to reach the end. Points were given according to the time taken.
For the thousand or so people who obtained the spiritual birds, their speed was naturally faster than the others. The remaining nine thousand people had to slowly walk from the foot of the mountain by themselves.
"How can this be!" The participants in the eight venues instantly became noisy.
Li Jingxun smiled knowingly, "I'm afraid this is another of Senior Martial Brother's ideas? To increase the number of people? "
Qing Hong paid no attention to the "public anger". He stood up, waved his sleeves, and left with Yuzhi Female Celestial, "The two of you, I'll leave the second round to you. Senior Martial Sister and I will prepare for the third round."
Kuang Qu and Bai Zheng had bitter expressions. The two could only appease the Immortals and host the second round.
"Forget it, it won't be easy for him to go through the third round either. Let him worry about those questions!"
The immortal mountains were ethereal, hanging high in the clouds. When the Golden Crow landed, the Jade Rabbit leaped up. Finally, close to two thousand people reached the peak of the immortal mountains.
"Alright, you guys take a break. The third round will be held tomorrow morning. "
Zhou Yaner asked, "Senior Martial Brother, can I ask what the third round will be?"
Qing Hong said, "It's a good question for you guys to re-examine yourselves. You'll know tomorrow. "
He and Yuzhi Female Celestial sat on the jade platform, and the two of them seemed to be discussing something with the papers in their hands. After the Immortals rested for the night, he and Yuzhi Female Celestial began to distribute the papers to the Immortals at dawn the next day.
"The last round will be a discussion of the answers."
Li Jingxun took a look at the Xuan paper. There were five hundred questions on it, all kinds of tricky questions about cultivation, refining weapons, and Taoist techniques. It covered almost every aspect of the Immortal Path.
Finally, there was a question about the Primordial Spirit. "Elaborate on the pros and cons of the Blessed Heavenly Path of the Interior, and use this system to deduce the Dharma Access for cultivation. The limit is the Hidden Latch."
"From this question, I'm afraid that the Blessed Heavenly Path will be spread in Xuanzheng Chau. If not, there wouldn't be such a question. "
In addition, there were many questions about the names of Taoist techniques, the history of Xuanmen, alchemy, and weapons.
"Please tell us at least seven ways to refine the Tranquil Pill."
"What's the name of the Immortal Path Array that destroyed the Four Directions Sect in ancient times? What treasures were used to set up the array?"
"Where was the first Dao discussion between the Immortals and Demons?"
"When the Master was born, there were eighty-one Dharma Forms. Please answer in detail the names of the eighty-one forms."
"What … what's all this!" Many of the Immortals present were dumbfounded. Although many of the questions were common knowledge of the Immortal Path, what did they have to do with the Dao discussion and Dharma Access? Who would have the time to understand this!
