Zhou Yuncong's face was expressionless, but at this moment, there was a strong hostility in his indifference, like an unsheathed blade.
Zhu Yong sneered, killing intent surging all over his body, but it was condensed and not released, making it hard for others to notice.
He had been a general for many years, and he had been on the battlefield with Zhu Hongwu since he was young. He grew up on the battlefield and was used to seeing blood and killing.
Zhao Huan blocked in front of Zhou Yuncong, "Junior Brother Zhou, calm down, he is purposely provoking you, he wants you to lose the qualification to participate in the spell assembly."
"He will also lose the qualification," Zhou Yuncong said as he walked towards Zhu Yong.
Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Zhou Yuncong meant that he had the ability to kill Zhu Yong, thus triggering the restriction of Spreading Law Hall, causing Zhu Yong to be eliminated along with him.
Zhu Yong sneered at Zhou Yuncong, his hands were already clenched into fists, and the martial qi and blood in his body began to surge. Although Spreading Law Hall suppressed his cultivation level to the same late stage of foundation establishment as Zhou Yuncong, Zhu Yong did not panic at all. Years of battle had sharpened his confidence to a pure and firm state.
There were still cultivators who had not entered the Starry Sky Pagoda, and most of them stopped in their tracks out of curiosity. They wanted to watch this great show of everyone in the same group before it officially began.
But at this moment, Zhou Yuncong suddenly frowned slightly, and a rare hint of anger appeared in his usually indifferent gaze. However, this anger was not directed at Zhu Yong, but more like it was directed at himself.
In the All-Heaven Hall, Yang Qing's gaze was fixed on Zhou Yuncong. At this moment, she also frowned, and a helpless expression appeared on her face, "It just had to happen at this time, and the time has been brought forward."
Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others looked at each other and used their mana to transmit their voices to Yang Qing, "Fifth Junior Brother?"
Yang Qing shook her head, "Yun Cong's magical power is improving too quickly, so the time of the attack is getting shorter and shorter."
Lin Feng's expression was calm as usual. He said unhurriedly, "With Tianhao down there, nothing will happen to Yun. This spell gathering is a rare experience for him. It will be beneficial to him."
Yang Qing nodded. "Master is right."
Inside the Great Law Hall, Zhou Yuncong's footsteps slightly paused, but he still continued to walk towards Zhu Yong.
At this moment, Shi Tianhao, who had not intervened in the dispute between the two sides, appeared beside him and pressed on his shoulder.
Zhou Yuncong suddenly turned his head and stared at Shi Tianhao fearlessly. Shi Tianhao used his mana to suppress him, forcing him to sit on the ground. He said unhurriedly, "Execute your art immediately. If you attack blindly now, you will only get a momentary pleasure. You will suffer later."
Zhou Yuncong did not say anything. There was indignation and anger in his eyes, but in the end, he still followed Shi Tianhao's order and sat cross-legged on the ground. He actually completely ignored Zhu Yong in front of him and meditated to practice his Qi.
The surrounding people were stunned. After a while, they came back to their senses. A strange expression appeared on their faces, as if they were suppressing the smile on their faces.
Although many people controlled their expressions, their eyes were now staring at Zhou Yuncong with obvious contempt.
Zhu Yong looked at Zhou Yuncong and laughed involuntarily, "Don't tell me you are possessed by the devil? You pretend to be aggressive, but it turns out that you are a paper tiger. You might as well be a coward from the beginning. "
Although the others were not as straightforward as Zhu Yong, it was obvious that most of them had the same thought.
Even the way they looked at Zhao Huan and the other Xuanmen Tianzong disciples became strange.
You guys are Xuanmen Tianzong, are you? You sent this kind of trash to participate in the Dharma Assembly? Is this the seeded contestant that you guys selected in advance?
He looked decent, but in the end, he was just bluffing. There was no need for others to do anything, and he was the first to have a problem.
No one said these words out loud, but many people had the same thought.
In the All Heavens Great Hall, the group of Primordial Divinity experts looked at each other. The atmosphere was a little awkward, but they did not show any disdain. A Foundation Establishment disciple was not worthy of their disdain. Many Primordial Divinity experts only looked at Lin Feng and his disciple with probing eyes.
However, such gazes were very embarrassing in itself.
Especially Yang Qing, who was Zhou Yuncong's master. At this moment, he was even more embarrassed.
However, Yang Qing's emotions were still calm, and his state of mind was calm. He only felt a little helpless. "Sigh, the timing is really not right."
Xiao Yan turned to look at him. "Might as well let Yuncong go through the Heavenly Tribulation now. If he goes through it in one go, he will have a higher chance of success!"
Yang Qing shook his head. "The time is not right yet. If he tries blindly now, he will only have a 50% chance of success at most."
Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu looked at each other. They did not know much about Zhou Yuncong's situation.
Seeing the doubt in their eyes, Zhu Yi explained, "Fifth Junior Brother's disciple, Zhou Yuncong, has a special innate physique. This causes him to encounter a huge obstacle in his life when he cultivates Taoist techniques."
"Once Yuncong successfully forms his Gold Core and advances to the golden elixir period, he will immediately trigger the Yin Fire Tribulation on his own after forming the golden elixir."
Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were stunned. "Doesn't that mean …"
Zhu Yi nodded. "Yuncong has never formed his Gold Core. Once he tries to advance to the golden elixir period, if he successfully passes through two checkpoints, he will directly reach the middle stage of the golden elixir, knowing the Heavenly Connection Realm."
If he fails, he will naturally die under the Yin Fire Tribulation, his body and Taoist will disappear.
Many cultivators in the early stage of the golden elixir period do not have the confidence to survive the Yin Fire Tribulation. They would rather stay in the early stage of the golden elixir period for the rest of their lives.
Most of the cultivators in the early stage of the golden elixir period have to go through a long period of preparation, polishing their magic power, figuring out Taoist techniques, and only after accumulating enough would they challenge the Yin Fire Tribulation. However, Zhou Yuncong has no choice, nor does he have the time to prepare. Once he successfully forms his Gold Core, he will immediately welcome the Yin Fire Tribulation.
Zhu Yi looked at Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu. Slowly, he said, "Counting the time he spent cultivating in the Time Paradise, Yuncong has been studying Taoist techniques for nearly ten years, even longer than the two of you. But in fact, he has been stuck in the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm for a very long time."
"If it wasn't because of this difficulty, he would be the same as the two of you, also a cultivator in the golden elixir period."
Yang Qing sighed at the side and said, "Master gave me a solution. These years, I have been teaching Yuncong according to the solution, and at the same time, I have been helping him accumulate and improve his magic power. When he is fully prepared, he will have a great chance to break through the difficulty in one go."
"It's just that suppressing Yuncong's magic power realm like this will naturally have side effects. Every once in a while, it will flare up. As Yuncong's cultivation increases day by day, the flare up period also becomes shorter. I originally calculated that it should only flare up again after the Dharma Exchange Conference is over. Who knew that this time, it would be so much earlier, far exceeding my expectations."
Wang Lin did not speak all along. Silently, he looked at Zhou Yuncong in the light and shadow. "This is also a training for him, a training of his mind and willpower."
Yang Qing laughed bitterly. Wang Lin said it lightly, but this training is really unbearable.
Originally, his morale was high and he was ready to fight the enemy, but who knew that a problem would occur to him. In the end, he was treated as a weakling who was bluffing, suffering double the humiliation from the enemy and the disdainful gazes from the people around him.
This feeling was really not something that could be described with just the word 'sullen'.
Zhu Yong looked at Zhou Yuncong and smiled in disdain. He raised his head and looked at Shi Tianhao. "Elder Shi, this disciple of your sect should be directly disqualified from participating in the Dharma Assembly, right?"
"Since a problem occurred during the process of cultivation, then the first thing to do is to ensure his safety and solve the problem. Otherwise, if any accidents occur during the process of participating in the Dharma Assembly, it will not be of any benefit to others or oneself."
Shi Tianhao glanced at him and said slowly, "That's right, we should indeed solve the problem first. That's why he is now cultivating here. After he finishes, he will enter the Starry Sky Pagoda."
"If the people in the same group does not want to wait here, then they can go up the pagoda first and wait for him at the top."
Zhu Yong's expression changed slightly. "How can that be?"
"Why not." Shi Tianhao was neither too fast nor too slow. He smiled leisurely. "If the others were in the same group as Yuncong, the result would be the same."
Zhu Yong said in a low voice, "Are you guys going to protect and favor your own sect member?"
"If something happens to you, the other people in your group, including Yuncong and Xiao Huan, will also have to wait for you. The rules have been set, and everyone is treated equally. If you don't want to follow the rules, then scram. If you want to break the rules, you're not worthy."
Shi Tianhao directly turned and left, no longer paying attention to Zhu Yong. Although Zhu Yong and Zhu Yi had the same father and were actually older than him, Shi Tianhao did not treat him as someone on the same level at all.
That was why when Zhao Huan and Zhu Yong were fighting, Shi Tianhao did not interfere. Zhu Yong's cultivation was suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage by Hongfa Hall, so Shi Tianhao let Zhao Huan fight with him. This was also a form of training for his own disciple.
Zhao Huan cupped his hands towards the other two people in the same group. "My apologies, my two fellow daoists." After saying that, he crossed his legs and sat directly next to Zhou Yuncong, smiling at Zhu Yong.
Zhu Yong was choked by Shi Tianhao's words. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. When he looked at Zhou Yuncong on the ground again, he immediately felt a pain in his balls.
If it was someone in the other group who had to meditate to adjust their breathing due to Qi deviation, Zhu Yong did not mind beating a dog when it was down. Attacking the opponent and triggering the protective restriction of Hongfa Hall would directly send the opponent out.
However, Zhou Yuncong was in the same group as him, so he could neither beat him nor scold him. Using words to provoke Zhao Huan and Zhou Yuncong was one thing, but asking him to be buried together with a disciple of Xuanmen Tianzong, Zhu Yong absolutely would not do it.
As a result, he could only stare at Zhou Yuncong with wide eyes, as if he had also become Zhou Yuncong's protector.
This kind of feeling made Zhu Yong feel a kind of pain in his balls. Now, he sincerely hoped that the cultivators in the other groups would come and reward this kid on the ground and send Zhou Yuncong out. This way, his group would not have to calculate Zhou Yuncong's score.
However, the others were not stupid, they easily understood the reason behind this. With Zhou Yuncong here, his group would have to wait for him. Without Zhou Yuncong, Zhu Yong's group would instead have one less burden.
Thus, Zhu Yong could only watch the other fifteen groups enter the Starry Sky Pagoda, his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
