"Although those medicinal pills have a significant effect on increasing one's magic power, the side effects are not light either. With your strength, if you want to fight for a high ranking in the Core Disciples, you can't just take one or two pills. I'm really worried, if you … "Hearing this, Mu Yun Xian became even more worried.
"Don't worry, if I really can't do it, I won't force myself. Moreover, this time, if we don't fight for it, when that thief Ouyang Xin also becomes a Late Spirit Apostle, our troubles will only be greater. It's better to fight for it now and officially establish our relationship. This way, we won't have to worry about anything in the future. "Du Hai shook his head as he spoke.
Hearing her lover say this, Mu Yun Xian could only shut her mouth and the two continued to silently snuggle together.
… …
"What, Master, you gave this Enchanting Bell to your disciple?" The young girl looked at the white haired woman with some surprise.
"That's right. The Large Competition is about to begin. A while ago, I brought you along to solve the mystery of the Barbarian Ghost King and almost delayed your cultivation. This totem was the totem that made me famous in the past. With it on you, I believe that you won't ruin my reputation. Let others know that in our Baleful Yin Faction, other than Yang Gan, there are other disciples that are not weaker than him. "The white haired woman smiled slightly and took out a small black bell and stuffed it into the young girl's hand.
"Many thanks for Master's reward. This disciple will definitely not disappoint Master's love!" Calan half knelt on the ground and respectfully received the small black bell.
… …
In the large hall at the peak of the Dancing Ghost Faction's mountain, Senior Qian and Zhang Cui Er sat facing each other. Their four hands were pressed together and wisps of gray gas continuously circled around the two.
Beside them, a purple-clothed girl with a cold expression was attentively watching. It was the "Martial Aunt Lin".
… …
A hundred or so miles away from the Barbarian Ghost Sect, in a valley filled with poisonous snakes, a figure covered in a green gas was slowly walking towards the entrance of the valley. Wherever he passed, all the poisonous snakes retreated to avoid him. There were a few snakes that retreated a bit too slowly, and the moment they came into contact with the green gas, their bodies stiffened and they fell to the ground dead.
This green gas was impressively more poisonous than the poisonous snakes.
…
In the Ghost Hell Region, in a dense black forest filled with Yin Qi, there was a man whose entire body, from his neck down, was buried deep in the soil, leaving only his withered head exposed.
The head's face was covered in mud, and it was impossible to see its original appearance. It was unknown how long it had been here.
After a short while, the head opened its eyes to reveal a pair of demonic eyes that were flashing with silver light.
"What a pity. My Iron Corpse Body is still some time away from complete mastery. But that was enough. Yang Gan, just you wait! Let's see how I'll pull you down from the first place on the Lunar Monument. "The head muttered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground nearby burst open and a black silhouette shot out from within. It took large strides and rumbled towards the Barbarian Ghost Sect's stronghold. Every step caused the ground nearby to slightly tremble, as if his body was incomparably heavy.
…
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, while Liu Ming was silently cultivating in his room, the bell on the main peak of the Barbarian Ghost Sect suddenly rang loudly.
The sound was distant and clear, but when it entered Liu Ming's ears, it caused his blood to boil uncontrollably and his fighting spirit to rise.
Liu Ming opened his eyes and silently counted the sound of the bell. When he counted to thirty-six, he stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.
At the same time, the sound of the bell suddenly stopped.
At this time, the entire Barbarian Ghost Sect's sky was filled with gray clouds, all of them descending towards the foot of the main peak. In the blink of an eye, thousands of people had gathered.
Among them, there were disciples under the age of thirty who were preparing to participate in the Large Competition, but there were even more senior disciples over the age of thirty who had come to spectate.
Although these senior disciples were unable to participate in the Large Competition and did not have the qualifications to leave their names on the Lunar Monument, this was a grand event that only happened once every few years. Naturally, they would not want to miss it.
As for the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader, Gui Ru Quan and the twenty or so Spirit Masters, they had long since stood at the very front of the crowd, quietly waiting for something.
After an unknown amount of time, in the seemingly empty space in front of the Barbarian Ghost Sect's main peak, a formless ripple suddenly spread out. Subsequently, with the sound of celestial music, the scenery in front of them was like a painting being torn apart, revealing a completely different world of fog.
"Senior Yin Jiu, please come!"
Seeing this situation, the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader immediately bowed respectfully towards the rolling fog not far away.
The other Faction Spirit Masters followed behind him and did the same.
"What, the four year Large Competition is here again? But why do I feel that I have only slept for a short while? Could it be that you fellows are purposefully deceiving me? "A rumbling voice, like thunder, came from the fog.
"Senior Yin Jiu, please calm your anger. If it wasn't for the Large Competition, how would I dare to do such a thing? Senior, please use your great Fa Li and once again open the Lunar Illusion!" The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader hastily replied with an extremely respectful attitude.
"So troublesome! I don't think you dare to deceive me. Wait a moment! "The rumbling voice said somewhat impatiently.
Following this, the entire ground suddenly shook and all the fog spread out in all directions. An earthen yellow stone mountain that was over a thousand feet tall and a thousand acres in size immediately appeared in front of them.
This mountain was a bit strange. Not only was there not a single blade of grass growing on the mountain, the peak of the mountain was abnormally flat and wide. Moreover, there were dozens of natural stone platforms that were several tens of feet tall scattered everywhere.
In the center of these stone platforms, there was a black and white stone tablet that was over a hundred feet tall. It stood tall.
Liu Ming looked at it from afar with rapt attention. He saw that the tablet was covered with densely packed silver words, as if there were countless names written on it.
"The Lunar Illusion has been opened. All disciples can enter." Seeing this situation, the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader immediately sent a loud message. He then led a group of Faction Spirit Masters and took the lead to fly towards the yellow stone mountain.
Seeing this, the thousands of disciples behind him naturally followed and rushed in.
Once all the disciples had entered the mountain, the white fog once again appeared and surrounded the entire stone mountain.
At this time, the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader was already standing on one of the stone platforms. After sweeping his gaze around, he shook his sleeve and a flat jade brick that was a few inches long flew out.
Following this, he muttered an incantation and the jade brick immediately rushed into the sky. It quickly grew with the wind and in the blink of an eye, it became a floating jade platform that was a hundred feet long.
Only then did the group of Spirit Masters fly onto the jade platform and look down at the thousands of disciples below.
"All disciples, listen up. The Large Competition that occurs once every four years is about to begin. The rules for this competition are the same as before. First, the normal disciples will challenge the Core Disciples on the Lunar Monument. After the top one hundred have been decided, the Core Disciples will take turns challenging the Core Disciples according to their rankings. Finally, the top ten, top three, and the first Core Disciple will be decided. As for the specific challenge rules, all disciples can go to the bottom of the Lunar Monument to carefully read them. In the Large Competition, one is responsible for one's own life and death. All disciples that go up on stage must first sign the Life and Death Writ. However, if one intentionally injures a disciple or wantonly kills a fellow disciple, they will also be heavily punished. A light punishment will be a hundred lashes. A heavy punishment will be the crippling of one's Fa Li and the disciple will be expelled from the sect. Right now, all disciples should first clearly read the specific challenge rules. After the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, the Large Competition will officially begin. " The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader said from the stone platform. Although his voice was not loud, it was abnormally clear to everyone's ears.
Following this, he raised one hand and a candle that was as thick as a thumb flew out. After a tremble, it quietly floated in front of him without moving.
He pointed a finger at the candle in the air.
Immediately, a flame appeared at the top of the candle and a sandalwood scent spread out.
At this time, a Spirit Master that was already standing under the Lunar Monument lightly patted a certain spot on the monument.
After a buzzing sound, a layer of black light flowed on the monument. All of the words on the surface of the monument transformed into enormous light characters that appeared. Even the disciples standing at the very edge of the stone mountain could instantly see the words on the monument clearly.
The new disciples that were participating in the Large Competition for the first time all stood on their tiptoes and raised their heads to look fiercely at the enormous light characters.
Liu Ming stood in an inconspicuous corner and similarly stared at the words written on the monument.
At the very top of all of the silver light characters, there were two large characters, "Yang Gan".
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes slightly narrowed.
He had naturally heard the name "Yang Gan", the eldest disciple of all the Inner Sect Disciples in the Large Competition, many times.
It was said that this person had a Nine Spiritual Pulse and a Visible Yin Spirit Body. At the same time, he was proficient in the Baleful Yin and Refined Corpse Faction's secret techniques. Not only had he participated in the Life and Death Trials and returned safely, but he had also returned with outstanding results. Many people in the Sect believed that becoming a Spirit Master was something in the bag.
However, after Yang Gan obtained enough resources, he did not choose to break through to Spirit Master in the past few years. Instead, he had been in seclusion for the past few years. It was unknown if he was cultivating some kind of secret technique or if he wanted to build a more solid foundation before choosing to break through to the Spirit Master realm.
Because of this, Yang Gan naturally became more and more mysterious among the new disciples. Even the disciples of the other factions, other than the Baleful Yin Faction, had many people who respected him.
After Liu Ming quickly looked through Yang Gan's information, his gaze shifted downwards.
"Feng Chan", "Min Shou", "Qian Hui Niang" and other names appeared one by one.
The first four names on the Lunar Monument belonged to the top ten disciples who had participated in the Life and Death Trial and returned alive from the Upper Realms' Great Competition. Of the remaining six people, two of them had their names automatically removed from the Lunar Monument because they were already over thirty years old. One of them had broken through the Spirit Apostle realm and became a Spirit Master, while the other three had forever fallen in the Life and Death Trials.
The other top ten disciples that were added were naturally replaced according to the Lunar Monument's ranking.
Liu Ming only had a slight understanding of the top ten disciples. Therefore, after looking through these people, his gaze swept over the rules of the competition below.
