After a while, he saw everything clearly and memorized it in his heart. Then, he shifted his gaze and looked at the other disciples that were gathered on the stone mountain.
It was clear that the older disciples that were over thirty years old were standing far away from the Lunar Monument. They were gathered in groups of two or three and were pointing at the crowd with their hands while discussing in low voices.
The disciples that were going to participate in the Large Competition all had serious expressions. Occasionally, some of the younger disciples had excited expressions and were filled with eagerness.
After a quick glance, Liu Ming found a few familiar faces. For example, Du Hai, Mu Yun Xian, Calan, Lei Zhen, and Shi Chuan who were standing shoulder to shoulder.
His expression suddenly changed as he felt that someone was looking at him nearby. He immediately turned his head to look.
He saw that Sima Tian, who was surrounded by a group of disciples, was coldly looking at him. Only when Sima Tian saw Liu Ming's gaze did Sima Tian look away without changing his expression.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's thoughts turned.
"Senior Bai, so you're here. Do you plan on going up to try this time? "The sound of footsteps came from behind him and a girl's excited voice greeted him.
Liu Ming turned his head in surprise and saw a man and a woman walking over shoulder to shoulder. It was Xue Shan and Wan Xiao Qian.
The current Xue Shan was a bit more muscular than before. Wan Xiao Qian also had a bit of shyness on her face.
Seeing how close the two were, it was clear that their relationship was completely different from when they first entered the sect.
"So it's Junior Xue and Junior Wan! If there's a chance, I do plan on going up to try. "Liu Ming smiled as he replied.
"Senior Bai has already become a Middle Spirit Apostle over a year ago. Now that your Fa Li is probably even stronger, it's not impossible for you to leave your name on the monument if you participate in the Large Competition. After all, there are probably less than a hundred Late Spirit Apostles in the sect. "Wan Xiao Qian also smiled as she spoke.
This girl had also become a Middle Spirit Apostle in the last Small Competition, but the time was too short. It was obvious that she couldn't participate in the competition to become a core disciple.
"Hmph hmph, a mere new disciple dares to fight for the position of a core disciple? You all should train in the sect for another three to four years." A young man with a pale golden ruler on his waist walked over and coldly spoke to the three of them.
"Eh, so it's Senior Brother Xi. Last time, Senior Apprentice Brother had already obtained the position of Core Disciple. I think this time, you will definitely continue to leave your name on the Lunar Monument. " Xue Shan was initially enraged when he heard this, but when he saw the young man's upside-down eyebrows, he could not help but force a smile.
This Senior Xi was one of the older disciples of the Nine Infants Mountain who had appeared in the previous two Minor Competitions. The strength he displayed was extremely strong. Among the older disciples, he was only ranked below Shi Chuan, the Eldest Disciple of the Nine Infants Mountain. Towards Xue Shan and the other new disciples, he was always looking down on them!
Liu Ming furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to say something, another cold voice came from another direction.
"Hmph, who said that us new disciples would definitely be unable to obtain a position on the Lunar Monument?"
Xue Shan and Wan Xiao Qian looked over in shock. Xiao Feng had unknowingly arrived nearby and was looking coldly at "Senior Brother Xi".
"Xiao Feng, if it wasn't for the fact that Master Gui thought highly of you and gave you his cultivation area and personally gave you pointers, would you have been able to become a Late Spirit Apostle so quickly?" Once "Senior Brother Xi" saw Xiao Feng, he did not hide the jealousy and hatred in his heart as he spoke fiercely.
To him, Xiao Feng, who was a Nine Spiritual Pulse disciple, had immediately occupied a large amount of the mountain's resources after entering the sect. Naturally, he was much more despicable than Liu Ming, Xue Shan, and the others.
"Hmph, no matter what method you use, do you think that anyone can become a Late Spirit Apostle within three to four years of entering the sect! I wonder how long Senior Xi used to cultivate to this level? "Xiao Feng said with a cold smile, as if he did not give the other party any face.
"You …"
Senior Brother Xi was furious when he heard this, but he did not know how to reply to the other party's question.
"Juniors, there is no need to argue over a moment of anger!" After a light sigh, another person walked out from the nearby crowd.
Liu Ming looked carefully and was slightly surprised. The other party was actually Shi Chuan, the eldest senior of the Nine Infants Mountain.
The reason why he was surprised was naturally not because Shi Chuan was here. Instead, under the detection of his strong mental strength, he could faintly feel that the other party's aura was completely different from before. It was as if there was an additional trace of indescribable coldness on the other party's body.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed and landed on the other party's waist. There, surprisingly, was a red and green Glyph Bag, as if it was the source of the coldness.
"Senior Shi Chuan!"
No matter if it was Xue Shan, Wan Xiao Qian, Senior Brother Xi, or Xiao Feng, when they saw Shi Chuan appear, they immediately called out, not daring to be negligent.
Liu Ming naturally also slightly bowed.
"Juniors, this year's Large Competition is extremely important to our Nine Infants Faction. Anyone who can leave their name on the Lunar Monument, no matter if they are new or old disciples, will be heavily rewarded by Master Gui and the others. If we can allow the Nine Infants Faction to escape from the last position, the resources that our faction will obtain for the next three years will greatly increase. This will also be of great benefit to the juniors. Therefore, Master Gui has already passed down the order that our faction's disciples cannot challenge the Core Disciple position on the Lunar Monument, in order to ensure a higher ranking. "Shi Chuan slowly said.
"Since Master Gui has given the order, this disciple will naturally comply!" Xiao Feng's expression turned cold as he replied.
The others could only repeatedly nod their heads in agreement.
At the same time, on a stone platform far away from Liu Ming and the others, a person was watching the situation from afar and indifferently said to the person beside him:
"The current Bai Cong Tian is indeed different from what I remember. No wonder he was able to make a bit of a name for himself, causing Sima Tian to be a bit hesitant to act. "
The person who spoke wore a white robe and a jade belt. On his back was a light golden longsword. It was Gao Chong, the Earth Spiritual Pulse genius of the Blood Control Faction.
Beside him was a beautiful young lady. It was Mu Mingzhu.
Logically speaking, the Barbarian Ghost Sect's Large Competition was a grand event that Outer Sect disciples did not have the opportunity to participate in. However, Gao Chong had used some unknown method to safely bring her in.
Behind the two of them, the youth with arm-rings, Senior Wu, Shi Jian and his wife also stood there.
"What do you plan to do? If he doesn't participate in this Large Competition, we won't be able to meet him. "Mu Ming Zhu hatefully glared at the distant Liu Ming and asked with some worry.
"Not participate in the Large Competition? That is impossible. If he really had the strength to make Sima Tian, a top twenty Core Disciple, cower, how could he not fight for the resources and position he should have in the Sect? As long as he makes a move and leaves a ranking on the Lunar Monument, I will naturally challenge him. "Gao Chong seemed to have already thought about this and spoke without hesitation.
When Mu Ming Zhu heard this, she felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.
"However, my true enemy this time isn't Bai Cong Tian, but that person!" Gao Chong's gaze turned and looked at a silver-masked, grey-robed male on another stone platform surrounded by many Baleful Yin Disciples. His expression immediately became incomparably serious.
"This girl actually treated my words as wind passing by. In this kind of place, she is still mingling with Gao Chong without the slightest bit of apprehension." Mu Xian Yun and Du Hai stood together. When they saw Mu Ming Zhu and Gao Chong standing shoulder to shoulder on the stone platform, their expressions became extremely ugly.
"You clearly told us that you would be treated as a Cultivation Cauldron, but Ming Zhu didn't believe you at all. It even had the opposite effect. This is indeed an exceptionally troublesome matter." Du Hai's eyebrows furrowed as he spoke.
"This girl isn't stupid, but how could she be tricked to this extent by that brat? Elder Brother has always doted on Ming Zhu the most, and after entering the sect, he clearly asked me to take care of her. If something unexpected really happens, I really don't know how to explain it when I return. "Mu Yun Xian had a somewhat resentful look on her face.
"But looking at the current situation, it seems that Junior Bai's situation is even worse. You can't possibly think that Gao Chong bringing Ming Zhu here would turn a blind eye to Junior Bai's betrothal partner. "Du Hai sighed and smiled bitterly.
"You're saying that Gao Chong will personally deal with Junior Bai in the Large Competition?" Mu Yun Xian was shocked.
"There's no need for him to personally deal with him. I'm afraid that the other people who are attached to him will be enough." Du Hai looked deeply at the youth with bracelets behind Gao Chong and spoke with some fear.
"Then it seems that only by having Junior Bai withdraw from this Large Competition will he be able to protect himself." Mu Yun Xian replied after some consideration.
"The Large Competition is only held once every three years. Does Yun Xian think that this is possible? Right now, we can only hope that Junior Bai is unable to leave his name on the Lunar Monument. That way, Gao Chong and his group won't have the chance to act. "Du Hai shook his head and replied.
"We can only hope that it is so. Speaking of which, bringing Junior Bai to this realm, I have to bear a large part of the responsibility. "Mu Yun Xian revealed a faint expression.
"You can't be blamed for this! You only want to save Ming Zhu from the sea of fire. "Du Hai naturally comforted her with warm words.
At this time, the incense on the jade platform in the air finally burned out. The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader immediately took a step forward and loudly announced.
"The time is up, the Large Competition has begun."
At the same time, another Spirit Master immediately followed and loudly instructed:
"The disciples who left their names on the Lunar Monument will be arranged according to their ranking. They will be split into ten steps and stay on the ten stages. Normal disciples will challenge these Core Disciples. The winner will stay and the loser will leave the stage. Normal disciples will only have three chances to challenge. Once they exceed the three chances, they will lose the right to challenge. Furthermore, the same Core Disciple can only challenge once and cannot be challenged consecutively. Every stage will have a Spirit Master to preside over the challenges. Any disciple will not be allowed to go against their judgment. "
Hearing these words, the disciples on the stone mountain naturally became restless.
Ten Spirit Masters directly flew down from the sky and landed steadily in the center of the ten largest stone stages.
Following this, small flags flew out from their bodies and transformed into banners that were inserted into the stone stages, forming a neat row.
These banners were black and red in color. On the surface of the banners were engraved a dazzling silver symbol, representing the different ranks from one hundred to one.
