Today, Jiang Mingtang's opponent claimed to be from the Pure School of Beyond the Heavens Pond. However, he knew that this person was actually a cultivator from the Yi Tong Jie, a disciple brought by the Hua Zhenren.
So if he fought with this person and won, or if he continued to fight with this person's fellow disciples and won, then he would definitely attract the attention of the Dongtian Zhenren.
On a high platform somewhere, Hua Ying Ling stood with his hands behind his back, watching the battle. He had an expression of admiration towards Jiang Mingtang's performance in the battle.
He thought that this young cultivator was not bad. His foundation was not strong, and his achievements were limited. But he had thought of a way to make up for it, and his future path of improvement was even wider.
Seeing this, he knew that the fate of his clan was with this disciple. What was strange was that he could feel that this person was also clear about this. This was very interesting.
He ordered the child standing next to him. The latter bowed and walked towards the location of the battle.
This time, Jiang Mingtang defeated his opponent without any suspense. After he retreated, he saw a child come in front of him. The child bowed and said, "Senior Martial Brother Jiang, my clan's Zhenren invites you over for a chat."
Jiang Mingtang stilled. He had seen this Dao child in his dreams and knew that he was Hua Ying Ling's child. He didn't think things would go so smoothly. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Of course I have time. Please lead the way, Junior Martial Brother."
The child said, "Senior Martial Brother, please follow me."
Jiang Mingtang followed him and came to an altar. Seeing Hua Ying Ling standing there with his energy restrained, he hurriedly lowered his head and went forward to bow. Yet when he finished bowing, he heard a sentence that made his heart jump.
"You knew I would find you?"
His entire body froze, and he didn't straighten up.
Hua Ying Ling said, "Raise your head."
Jiang Mingtang slowly straightened his body. What he met was a pair of smiling and teasing eyes. For some reason, his heart relaxed.
Hua Ying Ling smiled. "You don't have to be nervous. No matter what you know, that's your own fate. I won't do anything to a junior disciple like you. But in the future, don't make presumptions about people of a higher realm than you. If you meet someone with a bad temper, even if I kill you, I won't be able to reason with you."
Jiang Mingtang hurriedly bowed again and sincerely said, "Thank you for your teachings, Dao Master." Then he couldn't help but ask, "Since Dao Master knows this junior's plan, then why …"
Hua Ying Ling smiled. "Me appreciating you is my own business, it has nothing to do with anything else."
Jiang Mingtang came to a realization. The other party only cared about doing things according to his will. Whatever Jiang Mingtang thought about it, it did not matter to the True Master Heavenly Abode. After all, the difference between the two of them was too great. It was so great that the latter did not need to care about such things.
Hua Ying Ling said, "These few days, I've looked at the techniques of your High Star Sect. There are some good points, but there are some flaws in the foundation. However, you are different from your sect. It seems you have made up for it yourself. You did not do too badly. You did not rashly correct the remaining flaws. It seems you are waiting for a better opportunity."
Jiang Mingtang felt cold sweat. Now, he felt that rashly coming into contact with the upper realm powerhouses was not a good choice. Right now, he had met someone with good intentions. If he suspected that they had evil intentions, then it would be hard to predict the consequences.
But he could not be blamed. The people of the True Master Heavenly Abode were powerhouses of a region. Other than the Battle Gathering, where else would he see them? Even in his dreams, he had not interacted much with such people.
Hua Ying Ling took out a Jade Talisman and gave it to him. "You are a person of great potential. Take this technique and study it. It will solve your current problem. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me again."
Jiang Mingtang let out a breath and took the Jade Talisman. He said, "Thank you for your guidance, Zhenren." After he bowed, he took a few steps back and turned to leave the altar.
Not far away, a ball of light spread out. A Daoist holding a horsetail whisk walked out. He said, "Zhenren Hua, you seem to appreciate the disciples of these small sects."
Hua Ying Ling nodded at him and said, "So it's Daoist Duanqi. I believe that regardless of whether they are from the Unaffiliated Sects or Rogue Cultivators, everyone is the same. Compared to us, they are only lacking an opportunity. I see that Jiang Mingtang has some redeeming qualities, so I will give him a chance. "
Zhenren Duanqi smiled and did not say anything. He had cultivated for so many years. Anyone with good potential would have been taken away by the large sects. How could there be so many talented people left outside? Compared to the disciples of the large sects, these people were naturally lacking.
Hua Ying Ling knew what he was thinking. But in the past, his talent had been changed by Zhang Yan. So sometimes, fate really was more important than anything else. But the prerequisite for this was one's own temperament. Otherwise, why would he choose someone else over him?
He was willing to give pointers, not for himself, nor for the sect. He was simply willing to give these disciples of the small sects a chance to improve themselves.
Zhenren Duanqi looked off into the distance. Standing on the Heaven Mending Array Diagram, he could not see the geography of the Mountain and Sea Realm. He did not even know where he was standing. It was as if he was surrounded by a barrier.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Hua, why do you think the Fellow Daoists of the Mountain and Sea Realm are hiding from us?"
Hua Ying Ling said, "They're just afraid of disturbing the Spirit Qi of the outside world. Many of our Qi and Spirit Qi are gathered in one place. If they leak out, it will inevitably shake the land."
Zhenren Duanqi could not help but chuckle. "Not necessarily."
He realized that after entering the array diagram, it was impossible to get out. This was most likely a trap set up by the almighty beings of the Upper Realm. However, everyone was tactful, and no one deliberately revealed it.
He thought to himself, "With this arrangement, I'm afraid that if something happens here, even if it's a battle between cultivators of the Heaven's Paradise, it won't affect the outside world."
After Jiang Mingtang returned, he sat down in his secret chamber and placed the Jade Talisman on his forehead. Instantly, a series of exquisite incantations appeared in his mind.
After he finished reading, he felt much more spirited.
There was only one technique inside, and it was not a secret technique. However, it could help him solidify his foundation. Just that alone made this trip worthwhile.
Ten days later, he emerged from seclusion in high spirits. He was just thinking about whether or not he should go to Hua Ying Ling to express his gratitude when a disciple came looking for him. The disciple said that they were nearing the location of the battle, and that the Elders were gathering the disciples to meet up with him.
In the past, the great sects would take turns hosting the battles. However, this time, because cultivators from other worlds were involved, it could be said that the entire Mountain and Sea Realm was the host. Therefore, it was not set up in the Inner Realm, but in a part of the sky. Normally, it would not be easy for junior disciples to enter and leave, but with almighty beings involved, things were different. Even if there was a fierce battle, it would not affect the outside world.
Jiang Mingtang tidied up a bit, then went with the disciple to a spacious rooftop. Looking around, he saw that all of the disciples of the Soaring Star Sect were here. Off in the distance, he could see cultivators from various sects standing on the rooftops. However, the area around the array diagram was still shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see what was going on.
Perhaps it was because he had been in the limelight recently. Just Now, under the envious gazes of the crowd, he was called over by one of the Elders.
It was at this point that everyone felt their bodies sway. It did not seem to be the Heaven Mending Formation Diagram trembling, but rather, their souls being affected.
When they regained their composure, they felt a warm breeze brush past them. The mist that covered the area gradually parted, revealing a vast expanse of land. The mountains, the mountains, and the Heavens were all bright and dazzling. Although it was a magnificent scene, it seemed to be dyed with colorful ink, and overflowed with a boundless brilliance.
Everyone breathed in and out, and felt a clear spiritual energy slowly flow into their meridians and lungs, making them feel incomparably comfortable.
Perhaps it was because he had just finished recuperating his foundation, but Jiang Mingtang took a moment to adjust his breathing. He found that his cultivation base had improved, and couldn't help but feel delighted.
The Heaven Mending Formation Diagram did not stop at this point. It headed towards a green mountain in the sky. Everyone's eyes were fixed on it. If there were no accidents, it should be the location of the competition.
At this moment, a flock of gorgeous feathered birds flew past, and the leader was a huge phoenix with two heads and two tails. On top of it stood a cultivator in a brown robe. His hair was tied up in a casual bun, and he looked carefree and unrestrained. He only took a glance at them, and then no longer paid attention to them. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of the mountain.
Someone asked curiously, "May I know which sect's cultivator is he from?"
Immediately, an Elder stroked his beard and said, "There are many sects that rear foreign species and even spiritual birds and beasts. The most famous ones are the Clear Feather Sect and the Blue Feather Pavilion. These two sects have some connections, but in terms of the sects' structure and the cultivation of the sect leaders, the Clear Feather Sect is the first. However, the Blue Feather Pavilion is a lower sect of the Qincang School, so we shouldn't underestimate it."
At this point, he looked at the disciples and said in a deep voice, "In the competition, I don't expect you all to win against the disciples of the big sects. As long as you don't lose too much face, it will be fine."
Even though they knew that the Elder said this intentionally, it still caused many disciples to feel indignant. They didn't think that they would be inferior to those of the same path.
Someone shouted, "No matter how powerful the disciples of those sects are, it's nothing. Who knows how many times Senior Brother Jiang has won these days."
Jiang Mingtang shook his head and said, "Junior Brother is wrong. Some people lost to me because they were afraid that their killing moves would be seen by others, and some people were unwilling to fight with me. Don't underestimate the people of the world. Even the small sects have outstanding talents."
Hearing him say this, the Elder unconsciously revealed a gratified gaze and said, "You can see this matter clearly, it's really not bad."
That floating mountain looked close, but in reality, it was extremely far. After a few more days of travel, Just Now, they gradually arrived there. At this moment, there was only that tall mountain as far as their eyes could see, but they couldn't see the world in front of them anymore. At this time, a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the mountain and swallowed the entire formation.
In a certain cloud cave on the floating mountain, Blue Feather Pavilion's Sect Master Han Xiaode was standing there, looking into the distance as if he was waiting for someone.
At this time, the sound of footsteps could be heard, and a young cultivator with long limbs walked in from outside. His attire was different from ordinary cultivators. His long hair was tied up, his sleeves were slightly narrow, and his robe was close to his body, making his figure appear even more robust and tall. He cupped his hands and said, "Are you Sect Master Han? I am Clear Feather Sect's Yang Yanzhen. "
Han Xiaode turned around and sized up the other party. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Sage Yang is too polite."
Yang Yanzhen clasped his hands behind his back and said in a clear voice, "Sect Master Han, that mysterious person is about to arrive. Since everyone has given the order, then we can't escape."
Han Xiaode said, "Just Now, I received news that this person is on good terms with a fellow Daoist grotto-heaven. That person is suspected to be Hanyuan's disciple, so if this person comes out to obstruct us, it's not convenient for me to take action."
"Oh, it's actually Hanyuan's disciple?"
Yang Yanzhen was a little surprised, but then he smiled confidently and said, "It doesn't matter. If Sect Master Han is concerned about feelings, then I'll take action."
