Although Luo Qingwu was next to Li Yuanfang, a space was deliberately left between the two of them. This space was a little more outwards, and a group of true disciples of the Celestial Sects of the Celestial Sects of the Celestial Sects of the Celestial Sects stood there.
Every single one of them had vigorous magic power, and their eyes were lively, showing that their cultivation base was not ordinary. They were also dressed in purple magic robes, and there was a Tai Chi pattern on their lapels. The symbol on their sleeves was very simple — it was a pure black circle with a black line on it, and it was hollow inside.
This symbol meant that these disciples were true disciples of Shi Tianhao's Barren Sky Valley.
Every one of them had an extraordinary cultivation base, especially the girl who was the leader. She was beautiful and gentle, and the others faintly regarded her as the center of attention. However, the girl herself was a little reserved about her position.
This girl, who was also in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, was Shi Tianhao's true disciple, Zhuge Wanqiu.
There were also many disciples of Barren Sky Valley. As Shi Tianhao became famous in West-Hill City, and at the same time, as he grew older, more and more disciples chose to join Barren Sky Valley. Now, the number of true disciples in Barren Sky Valley was no less than that of Yue Hongyan's Snow Wind Valley, and there were many talents among them.
However, the true disciples of Barren Sky Valley all looked embarrassed at the moment.
It was such an important day for the sect, but their master was missing.
Although their master had never been very reliable, it was especially infuriating this time. Not long ago, someone had sent a voice transmission back, claiming that he would definitely return before the ceremony.
However, even now, when the opening ceremony was over and the sect competition was about to begin, he was still nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Master?" A youth of only eleven or twelve years old whispered, "So many people are watching, it's so embarrassing!"
Zhuge Wanqiu turned to look at him, her beautiful eyebrows slightly knitted, and she said in a low voice, "Goldie, don't say such things!"
Goldie immediately pouted at Zhuge Wanqiu's words and did not dare to say anything more. However, his expression clearly showed that he was not convinced.
Xiao Yan's disciples, Liu Xiafeng and Yan Wuwei, who were closer to them, looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, sighing.
"Although Little Martial Uncle is a little … that, in front of so many outsiders, Goldie, aren't you a little too much?" Yan Wuwei looked at Goldie and said rudely.
Liu Xiafeng gave him a sidelong glance. "Everyone else can criticize Goldie like this, but you can't."
As expected, Goldie wasn't afraid of Yan Wuwei at all. He made a face at him and said, "Senior Brother Fatty, you should watch your big mouth first."
Yan Wuwei glared at him angrily. "You brat!"
But as angry as he was, there was nothing Yan Wuwei could do to Goldie.
The youth in front of him, who was more than ten years younger than him, had the same cultivation level as Liu Xiafeng and Zhuge Wanqiu, and was even stronger than his cultivation level in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Goldie was very famous. His name was Huang Zhenting, and his experience was similar to that of Zhou Yuncong. He was a talent that Shi Tianhao picked up when he was traveling outside after the opening ceremony of West-Hill City.
At that time, Goldie was only a little boy who was four or five years old. Later, he passed the Heart Reflecting Staircase test and the true disciple test, and finally became a true disciple of Shi Tianhao's Barren Sky Valley. His cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds.
However, following by Shi Tianhao's side, this kid was raised to be another little devil. But compared to Shi Tianhao, who was cute on the outside but actually evil on the inside, Goldie was still very simple. It was just that his temperament was more wild and straightforward. He was often sold by his master, but he still helped to count the money.
Sometimes, when Goldie finally came to his senses, he would also stomp his feet in anger. However, he was a person who didn't learn from his mistakes. When he turned around, he would be heartless and silly, being tricked by his own master until his head was full of bumps.
However, it might also be because of his pure and straightforward state of mind, combined with his outstanding talent in Taoism, that he was able to build a spiritual platform and condense a pill cauldron in a short period of less than eight years. His speed surpassed most of the true disciples, and gradually, he became known in Xuanmen Tianzong.
Huang Zhenting was cheerful and optimistic. He was also very familiar with the true disciples of the other branches. Everyone also treated him as a younger brother who didn't understand anything, and laughed with him.
"If Master doesn't come back, I wonder if the founder will teach him a lesson?" Goldie started to imagine some beautiful things, but just as the words left his mouth, a voice sounded in his mind, "Whether I will be taught a lesson or not, this is not certain, but a certain kid's days are not going to be good."
Goldie was stunned, "Master!"
In the empty space in front of him and Zhuge Wanqiu, a crack suddenly appeared in the void, and a tall figure walked out from it.
In the Central Hall, Lin Feng revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and the rest of the people's spirits were also lifted. They saw that in the middle of the Great Drill Ground, there was an additional person in the position between Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu.
It was a tall youth, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had red lips and white teeth, and his eyes were like bright stars. He looked extraordinarily handsome, and his jet-black long hair draped over his shoulders.
He was well-proportioned, tall, and handsome, but his entire body seemed to contain an extremely terrifying explosive power, sending chills down people's spines.
Although he had a smile on his face and looked likeable, when the people looked at him, they felt as if they were facing a giant beast from ancient times, who could turn the world upside down with a single move.
Shi Xingyun stared at the tall youth, and after a while, he sighed, "He's finally grown up."
Not only Shi Xingyun, but most of the people present also had mixed feelings, murmuring, "He … he's grown up, and he's even more powerful."
At this moment, there were still some traces of childhood between the youth's brows, so people could clearly identify him just by looking at his appearance.
He was the youngest male disciple under Lin Feng, the leader of the Celestial Gate, Xuanmen Tianzong's Junior Martial Uncle, a young genius, and a natural-born Supreme Shi Tianhao!
As soon as he was born, he was already in the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and achieved the Supreme Spirit Platform. He was plotted against by his brother, Shi Tianyi, and survived. He became Lin Feng's disciple and was reborn, becoming even more powerful than before.
He won first place in the Golden Elixir Period during the Wilderness Sea Assembly and officially announced his return as the king. In the battle of Kunlun Mountain, he killed the mid-stage Yuanying Patriarch with his mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivation, and then in the fated duel in West-Hill City, he killed another young genius, the Dual-Pupiled Cultivator, Shi Tianyi, who was known as a natural-born God.
He possessed two Divine Lights of Creation, and was the youngest Yuanying Cultivator in the recorded history of the human Cultivation World in the Divine Land. He reached the Nascent Soul Stage at the age of thirteen, which shocked the world.
All of his achievements shocked the world, but what was even more shocking was his age. All of this was accomplished before he turned thirteen.
It was as if he was constantly reminding others that they had lived thousands and hundreds of years in vain.
As long as they thought about how Shi Tianhao would grow up in the future and how his cultivation level, Divine Sense, and Dharmic powers would improve further, even a Primordial Soul powerhouse would feel slightly dizzy.
And now, the little thing of the past had become the Shi Tianhao of today. He had really grown up.
Although he was still a young man, the childishness had completely disappeared from his face, and he was no different from an ordinary adult.
Shi Tianhao first bowed to Lin Feng, who was in the central hall. "Master, I'm back."
Lin Feng, who was in the hall, smiled. "You're late." He was naturally the one who had the most direct view of Shi Tianhao's changes. He had personally witnessed the little boy of the past grow into the tall young man that he was today. Even Lin Feng was emotional.
Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Master, don't be angry. I came back a little late this time because I was preparing for the upcoming Sect Competition. At least I didn't delay anything."
He looked at Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others and smiled. "Senior Brothers, don't blame me later."
"Junior Nephews, get ready. Little Uncle-Master has brought back something good for you." Shi Tianhao smiled at Xu Yunsheng, Liu Xiafeng, and the others, as well as his own disciples, Huang Zhenting, Zhuge Wanqiu, and the others. "You too, Master has prepared a surprise for you."
Yan Mingyue looked at Shi Tianhao and carefully observed him for a moment. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows. "This devil incarnate actually came back with injuries?"
Lin Daohan nodded. "Although his injuries have stabilized, his Qi, blood, Dharmic powers, and spirit are all showing signs of decline. He was previously injured quite badly."
The other Essence Soul experts also saw this and could not help but look at each other as their thoughts ran wild.
The Shi Tianhao in front of them was the same as Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and Wang Lin. They were all mid-stage Yuanying. Combined with his achievements during the Golden Elixir period, it was possible that even if he was injured now, he would at least be a Essence Soul expert.
In the Yuanying stage, Shi Tianhao almost had no opponents apart from his own disciples. Even if there were, they were extremely rare and could be counted on one hand.
He also had the Dharma treasure Kun Peng Palace given by Lin Feng to protect him. Even if he could not defeat an Essence Soul expert, he was more than half confident that he could escape unscathed.
Xiao Yan and the others also looked at Shi Tianhao. Shi Tianhao smiled. "I went to the Vast Land of Infinite Wilderness and found a Tao Wu. I fought with it. I didn't win, but I didn't lose either. That Tao Wu injured me, and even the Kun Peng Palace was slightly damaged."
In the central hall, all the cultivators below the Essence Soul level gasped.
The Tao Wu was one of the four ferocious beasts in the primordial era. It looked like a tiger, had long fur, a human face, tiger feet, pig teeth, and a long tail. It was ferocious, stubborn, and brutal.
Although Shi Tianhao did not say what the Tao Wu's cultivation level was, it was undoubtedly a Tao Wu that had attained the Immortal Demon Soul and the Kun Peng Palace. It was able to injure Shi Tianhao and even hurt his Essence Soul Dharma treasure Kun Peng Palace.
"I didn't let it off easy. I cut off a piece of its flesh and brought it back." After saying that, Shi Tianhao raised his hand, and a huge piece of flesh the size of a hill appeared in his palm. It was fixed by his Dharma Power. Green blood kept rolling on the piece of flesh, but it could not stay.
Countless Divine Light and runes spread on the green flesh like clouds, and a violent wave of demonic power shook the void.
The piece of flesh did not wither or die. Instead, Shi Tianhao preserved its vitality and brought it back, maximizing its value.
Even the group of Essence Soul experts could not help but twitch their mouths.
After the naughty kid grew up, he became even more ferocious. He even dared to provoke the Tao Wu, a Great Sage, and even cut off its flesh and brought it back.
At this time, in the central hall, Lin Feng's Dharma Power projection stood up and said, "My disciple is late. Sorry for embarrassing myself.
"Now, I announce that the internal sect competition of Xuanmen Tianzong has officially begun."
