Although Lin Tong was young, she had already displayed outstanding strength in the first few rounds of the competition. She had defeated her opponents and killed all of the Sunfire Beasts.
Some of the spectators with higher cultivations were slightly stunned. They could already see that her foundation was extraordinary.
"This young lady looks like she's a spirit monster and not a human?" the bigwigs muttered inwardly.
In the private room, Marquis Jing Huanhou stared closely at Lin Tong. After a while, he let out a long sigh. "I see. So the Wutong Tree Heart that landed in the hands of the master of the Mystic Gate has taken human form."
"I wonder when the Wutong Tree Heart took human form. If it had already taken human form before the phoenix race arrived, then there might be a hidden story that deviated from my expectations. "
Marquis Jing Huanhou drummed his fingers on the table and shook his head. He looked at the two people beside him. "Xiang Heng, Wang Le, have you found your target?"
The tall youth called Wang Le shook his head Slowly. "I haven't found him among those who have participated in the competition so far."
The round-faced youth called Xiang Heng answered, "It looks like there are three possibilities. Either this person didn't participate in the competition at all, or he's one of the six seeded contestants, or he participated in the competition but held back his strength."
Marquis Jing Huanhou waved his hand. "The first possibility might not exist. All of Xuanmen Tianzong's true disciples participated in the competition this time."
"As for those six little things, as far as I know, five of them are already famous outside. Furthermore, they all entered the sect during the last two opening ceremonies of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Only the person called Zhou Yuncong entered the sect alone in the past three years."
"So the person you're looking for is either this Zhou Yuncong or someone who has participated in the competition but hasn't exposed themselves."
Wang Le and Xiang Heng nodded. "That's right. I hope he didn't purposefully lose and get eliminated for the sake of keeping his identity a secret. That way, we'll have a chance to find him during the exchange later."
Marquis Jing Huanhou smiled indifferently. "How would Xuanmen Tianzong know the master is looking for this person? They won't go out of their way to keep it secret. "
It wasn't just Jing Huanhou, Wang Le, Xiang Heng, and the others. The other spectators were also paying close attention to the performance of the Xuanmen Tianzong disciples.
The further the competition progressed, the higher the standard of the disciples who broke through the tight encirclement, and the more valuable the duel competition became.
Many elders and powerhouses of various forces would take the opportunity of watching the battle to give pointers to their juniors.
In the Celeritas Sword Sect's camp, ancestor Violetcloud solemnly said to his own disciples, "You all have to pay attention to this little girl. Maybe in the future she'll be another Shi Tianhao. Her potential is truly too enormous."
Everyone nodded their heads in unison as they stared fixedly at Little Lin Tong who was in the middle of the competition grounds. His entire body was surging with a milky white flame that was pure and righteous, capable of suppressing all evil. Wherever the flame passed, more than ten Roaring Yang Beasts would retreat in fear.
The milky-white flame seemed weak and not scorching, but as long as it touched the Roaring Yang Beast, it would immediately howl in pain.
This was precisely the divine ability of the Pure Yang True Fire. Roaring Yang Beasts are monsters formed from the evil energy of the Suanni. One of the things they fear the most in their lives is the Pure Yang True Fire.
The environment they were in right now was similar to the Suanni race's dwelling. In this kind of dangerous environment, the Roaring Yang Beast was actually like a fish in water, endlessly replenishing its own strength. If an ordinary cultivator used the Pure Yang True Fire, they might not be able to effectively restrain it.
But Lin Tong just happened to be formed from the Wutong Treeheart. In this world, apart from the phoenix race, it is the Divine Wutong Tree that is most proficient in controlling this ancestor of all flames.
Although Lin Tong was young, after experiencing the baptism of the Wutong Tree Monarch in the Wutong Forest and also receiving Xiao Yan's wholehearted guidance, she was already rather proficient in controlling the Pure Yang True Fire. Whenever she participated in the competition, the Roaring Yang Beasts didn't dare to approach.
In the Celeritas Sword Sect's camp sat a beautiful white-clothed girl. On her delicate earlobes hung a green jade pendant, slightly shaking it emitted a clear jade sound.
Ancestor Violetcloud looked towards this white-clothed girl and secretly sighed.
The white-clothed girl noticed ancestor Violetcloud's gaze and smiled faintly, "Elder Violetcloud please be at ease. Yanran can take care of her own position."
She was precisely Murong Yanran from back then. After being defeated by Xiao Yan on the Cloud Traversing Peak back then, she instead profited from her misfortune and became the personal disciple of Sword Venerable Flowing Light. Afterwards she has always been cultivating in seclusion on the Cloud Traversing Peak.
Originally Sword Venerable Flowing Light and the Celeritas Sword Sect had the idea of letting Murong Yanran train bitterly and become a talent, then go find Xiao Yan to regain face. But afterwards along with the relationship between the two powers gradually becoming harmonious, after Xuanmen Tianzong's prestige became more and more grand, naturally the matter was left unsettled.
The present Xiao Yan is also long since no longer that rising star of the Golden Elixir initial stage. If the him at that time needed Murong Yanran to look up to him, now even looking up to him she can't even see his silhouette clearly.
The Celeritas Sword Sect's most outstanding genius of the younger generation, Tao Yaoyao, previously paid a visit and sparred with Xiao Yan and was instantly defeated.
The Qin dynasty's crown prince Shi Chongyun who wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Yan on the Cloud Traversing Peak is now also no match for Xiao Yan. Even the entire Celeritas Sword Sect from top to bottom, if not for Sword Venerable Flowing Light holding down the fort, Xiao Yan alone can wipe them out.
Long before the battle of West-Hill city three years ago, Murong Yanran already knew the gap between her and today's Xiao Yan. These few years she has long since straightened out her mentality.
This time she will also participate in the spell exchange, but her opponent is no longer Xiao Yan but Xiao Yan's disciples. Such a huge gap, if she can't adjust her mentality then it is enough to make people depressed to the point of going crazy.
Murong Yanran's gaze turned towards the competition field, her expression calm, but her figure in the eyes of her fellow disciples more or less somewhat lonely.
The winner of this competition is still Lin Tong, she also obtained the last place in the top 16.
Leaving the competition field Lin Tong cheerfully jogged all the way. She did not return to her quiet room to rest but instead leapt into another light door.
Sitting in the room is a woman with a peerlessly beautiful appearance, wearing a light green robe with a purple belt lightly tied around her waist. She smiled as she looked at the door. As soon as little Lin Tong entered the door she flew into her embrace: "Mother!"
Xiao Zhen 'er smiled as she hugged her, lightly scraping the bridge of her nose: "Tong' er is so amazing."
Lin Tong giggled and said: "Tong 'er naturally can't lose face for grandpa, father, and mother."
Hearing the words "grandpa" and "father" Xiao Zhen 'er couldn't help but burst into laughter. She naturally knows that Lin Tong is referring to Lin Feng and Xiao Yan.
If Xiao Yan was here every time he heard these words he wouldn't be able to help but correct: "It's grandpa and godfather!"
"Tong 'er, you have to be careful from now on. Once you enter the top 16, you will have to compete with the cultivators from the other sects." Xiao Zhen 'er helped Lin Tong untie the small braid on her head and comb her hair again. Lin Tong comfortably leaned in her embrace: "Mother, don't worry, Tong' er will definitely perform well."
Watching Lin Tong run into Xiao Zhen 'er's quiet room, Zhao Huan smiled, looked at Liu Xiafeng and said: "Senior Martial Brother Liu Xia, are you under a lot of pressure?"
Liu Xiafeng shrugged: "Of course, it's so heavy that my small arms and legs can't hold it anymore."
He glanced at Li Xingfei beside him and said with a smile: "Just like you and Senior Martial Sister Dao, little junior martial sister didn't participate in the cave house's internal competition at all. Otherwise, she would be standing here right now while I'm fighting with the Dark Yang Beast in the fighting arena."
Other than Zhuge Wanqiu and Zhou Yuncong, Liu Xiafeng, Xu Yunsheng, Li Xingfei, and Zhao Huan were the first batch of direct disciples. They were also the most familiar with each other. Towards Liu Xiafeng's teasing, Li Xingfei smiled slightly: "Yes, our luck is quite good."
Zhao Huan moved closer to Liu Xiafeng: "Senior Martial Brother Liu Xia, Junior Martial Sister Tong inherited Great Martial Uncle's Pure Yang Real Fire, what about you? What kind of Real Fire do you cultivate? I heard that you Fen Tianya disciples can choose a Real Fire to cultivate after you build your foundation. "
Liu Xiafeng didn't hide it and nodded: "That's right, I cultivate the Sun Real Fire."
Xiao Yan had five great Real Fires. After his direct disciples reached the Foundation Building stage, they would cultivate his Dao technique, Burning Sky Technique. During the cultivation process, they could also cultivate another fire attribute Dao technique and choose a Real Fire to cultivate. As they cultivated, they would gradually turn it into their own divine power.
Other than the Great Sun Brilliant Heaven Canon, Xiao Yan had been constantly summarizing and perfecting the other Real Fires in the past three years. There were also Dao technique manuals for the other Real Fires, namely the Nether Brilliant Scripture, the Mysterious Heaven Calamity Scripture, and the Pure Yang True Technique.
The ancient emperor's [Li Fire God Technique] was passed down to him by Xiao Zhen 'er. It was inconvenient for Xiao Yan to directly include it in the category of Xuanmen Tianzong's Dao technique. Thus, he comprehended the Nan Ming Li Fire by himself, constantly pondering and summarizing, and finally came up with the Nan Ming Orthodox Technique.
Just like the Golden Crow Clan's [Sun Real Fire] technique and Xuanmen Tianzong's [Great Sun Brilliant Heaven Canon] both cultivated the Sun Real Fire, the Nan Ming Orthodox Technique and the [Li Fire God Technique] both cultivated the Nan Ming Li Fire. However, they were two completely different Dao techniques, but in the end, they reached the same destination by different means.
Liu Xiafeng obtained the fire seed of the Sun Real Fire from Xiao Yan, then cultivated the [Great Sun Brilliant Heaven Canon] and cultivated the [Li Fire God Technique], and finally controlled a ball of Sun Real Fire. Normally, it could be used to nourish one's cultivation, and when fighting, it was the sharpest weapon.
Although the Pure Yang True Fire was pure and vast, it was not sharp when used in fights of magical powers. The Nether Evil Flame was the fiercest, but it was also the hardest to control. The Mysterious Heaven Tribulation Flame was even more unpredictable. If one was not careful, they would hurt themselves before hurting the enemy.
Therefore, among the five top Dao techniques, most disciples cultivated the [Great Sun Brilliant Heaven Canon] and [Nan Ming Orthodox Technique].
As they were chatting, suddenly, Shi Tianhao's voice sounded in their ears, "Now, in the competition of our direct disciples, the top 16 have all been determined."
"Now, the top 16, gather in front of me."
Liu Xiafeng, Xu Yunsheng, and the others looked at each other, then they all walked out from the light door, left the quiet room, and came to the Spreading Law Hall's arena.
The direct disciples who were eliminated before were now resting in the quiet room, organizing their gains from the previous battles, and Silently waiting for the next battles to begin. They also had to watch carefully, to verify what they had learned.
At this time, Shi Tianhao lightly clapped his hands, and the many small worlds created by the arena all disappeared.
Other than him, in the vast arena, there were 16 Xuanmen Tianzong direct disciples standing neatly, they were the top 16 of this competition.
Shi Tianhao looked around, looked at the many light doors in the Spreading Law Hall, and said, "The next battles will be combined with the exchange of the fellow Daoists, and they will be carried out together. According to the performance of the exchange, the final ranking of the top 16 direct disciples will be decided."
"Fellow Daoists, disciples and successors, if you are interested, please enter now."
