Chu Yang also participated in the Desolate Sea Dharma Assembly. However, his performance was mediocre and did not look outstanding.
This was similar to his identity as a legacy disciple of Beyond Heaven Mountain. Among the many factions that participated in the dharma assembly, Beyond Heaven Mountain could only be considered as the weakest.
Chu Yang's performance was not bad. In fact, it was enough to make others look at him in a different light.
After all, his cultivation was originally in the Golden Elixir period. Even after being suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage, his performance was still not bad.
However, it was only to the extent of not looking down on him. It was not to the extent of taking him seriously or being fearful of him. This was because the people in his group could be said to be crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Xuanmen Tianzong's disciple, one of the most outstanding people in the previous competition. He was the Desolate Sky Valley's true disciple, Huang Zhenting.
He was the rising star of the Great Qin Dynasty's imperial family. He was Qin Emperor Shi Yu's youngest daughter, Shi Jingyun.
He was Xuanmen Tianzong's earliest true disciple, Fen Tianya's true disciple, Yan Wuwei.
Even the seemingly unremarkable Xiang Heng was an elite cultivator from the Great Zhou Dynasty. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Golden Elixir period. However, in the Starry Sky Pagoda, he was suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage like Chu Yang. Honestly speaking, he was the one with the highest cultivation in this group.
In fact, Xiang Heng was quite good at socializing. He was smooth and slick. With just a few words, Huang Zhenting, Shi Jingyun, and the others accepted him. Because he was the most experienced and had the highest cultivation, he even seemed to be the leader of the group.
"That junior brother of yours suddenly suffered Qi Deviation. Will he be fine?" Xiang Heng asked Yan Wuwei and Huang Zhenting with concern as he guided everyone to carefully avoid a dangerous restriction.
He was actually not very old. He had a round baby face and looked quite amiable when he smiled.
Yan Wuwei sighed heavily. "He will definitely be fine. However, it will definitely take up a lot of time. I'm afraid he won't have a chance in this dharma assembly. It's a pity that he is Fifth Martial Uncle's only disciple."
Xiang Heng also said regretfully, "Yes, it's indeed a pity. However, why did he suddenly suffer Qi Deviation?"
Yan Wuwei curled his lips. "Who knows? Junior Brother Zhou rarely interacts with others. Even us seniors and juniors don't understand the situation."
Huang Zhenting muttered, "Senior Brother Zhou, this isn't the first time. I've only seen him once before …"
Something flashed in the depths of Xiang Heng's eyes. "Oh?"
"That kid's cultivation of the Dao has gone astray, and he's a taciturn person. He won't say anything even if you hit him three times with a stick. I think he doesn't like to consult Fifth Martial Uncle, and he's always blindly pondering by himself. Now he's suffering." Yan Wuwei laughed and turned around to block Xiang Heng's line of sight. He shook his head slightly at Huang Zhenting.
Little Fatty was also gradually becoming an adult. He had left the mountains frequently to train in the past few years, and was much more mature than when he was young. Although he seemed to be joking and had a big mouth, he was no longer the blabbermouth of the past.
In fact, he didn't notice Xiang Heng's strange behavior, but he felt that there was no need to tell an outsider about the affairs of his Senior Brother and Junior Brother. He could just fool him and be done with it. Therefore, even though he and Xiang Heng had been talking nonsense along the way, it was all nonsense. There wasn't any valuable information.
Although a leopard could change its spots, and Yan Wuwei himself was very curious about Zhou Yuncong's situation, there was no need to show it in front of Xiang Heng.
Chu Yang had always been submissive and obedient. He was just short of writing the words "professional to make up the numbers" on his forehead.
But in fact, he had been secretly observing the people in his group and quickly made an analysis.
Xiang Heng was slick and had some tricks up his sleeve, but he wasn't shrewd enough. He was too deliberate in befriending Huang Zhenting, Yan Wuwei, and the others. His words were intentionally or unintentionally trying to get information from Xuanmen Tianzong.
This person seemed to pay special attention to Zhou Yuncong. Perhaps he had some ulterior motives.
Yan Wuwei was muddle-headed in small matters, but reliable in big matters. His cultivation was relatively weak, only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He couldn't really be considered shrewd, but at least Chu Yang was confident that if it were Chu Yang trying to get information from him, he would be able to get it right.
Huang Zhenting could be called a genius in cultivation, but his temperament wasn't stable enough, which was in line with his actual age.
Shi Jingyun was the same. Speaking of which, she and Huang Zhenting were the same kind of people. Because of her background, she was more arrogant and willful than Huang Zhenting.
Along the way, the only disharmonious factor in their group was these two problem children. The two of them seemed to be born at odds with each other. From the first moment they met, they couldn't see eye to eye with each other.
Chu Yang, Yan Wuwei, and Xiang Heng had to deal with all kinds of problems in the Starry Sky Pagoda during the process of ascending the pagoda. They had to constantly appease and mediate the dispute between these two little devils, which gave the three of them a headache.
The group finally reached the top of the pagoda with great difficulty and received their reward. After listening to Shi Tianhao's introduction of the rules of the second stage, Shi Jingyun immediately jumped to the side. She cast a sidelong glance at Huang Zhenting and snorted. "Thank the previous emperors, I finally don't have to travel with a yellow-haired brat like you anymore!"
Huang Zhenting waved his fist at her and said, "Yellow-Haired brat, I should be the one saying this to you. Don't come crying to me after being snatched away by Qiong Qi!"
Shi Jingyun snorted and said, "I wonder who was it that almost cried when facing the Meteor Shower just now?"
Yan Wuwei said helplessly, "We've been arguing all the way here. Aren't the two of you annoyed?"
Huang Zhenting and Shi Jingyun turned their faces away at the same time, snorted, and walked towards the light door at the same time. Seeing each other's movements, they stopped at the same time and glared angrily at each other, refusing to give way.
"Two brats!" Yan Wuwei shook his head and entered the light door first. Chu Yang and Xiang Heng also entered the light door helplessly.
Before Xiang Heng entered the light door, he turned his head and glanced behind him. It seemed like he was looking at Huang Zhenting and Shi Jingyun, but in fact, his gaze went past them and was looking at the Starry Sky Pagoda behind him.
Inside the All-Heavens Great Hall, Lin Feng and the others were also looking up and down at the Starry Sky Pagoda. At this time, it was already clear which eight groups would advance to the second stage.
The restrictions inside the Starry Sky Pagoda meant that if one wanted to climb up, they could only rely on the movement of the stars to climb up one level at a time. However, if they triggered the Circulating Starlight Restriction and fell down, it was hard to say how many levels they would fall. The only factor that could change the ranking was mainly the Circulating Starlight Restriction.
However, the Circulating Starlight Restriction was more obvious. Under most circumstances, if there was no interference from others, most people would be able to avoid it.
Therefore, the situation was more or less clear. The last suspense was whether Zhou Yuncong's group could squeeze into the top eight.
Zhou Yuncong and Zhao Huan both worked hard to catch up, and they had already surpassed a portion of the group. There was no need to say much about Zhou Yuncong's tyrannical strength, and Zhao Huan wasn't completely useless either. Although he was only in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, because of the Void Core in his body, the total amount of his transcendence energy far surpassed the average Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
However, in order to strengthen his foundation, he had to slow down the speed of his cultivation.
At this moment, in the Starry Sky Pagoda, he and Zhou Yuncong worked together to move the moving stars up. In fact, the speed at which they moved up was not slow at all. It was comparable to the combined speed of many ordinary cultivators.
This allowed them to quickly catch up with Zhu Yong's group of three. Instantly, Zhu Yong's group's eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
"Junior Brother Zhou, we've already reached here. There's no need to rush. In the next stage, there might be individual freedom, or we might be regrouped. Wait until the second stage to settle the score with him." Zhao Huan stopped Zhou Yuncong and advised him.
Zhou Yuncong did not stop at all. He closed in on Zhu Yong in a straight line with a cold gaze.
Zhu Yong frowned slightly. The other party was able to catch up so quickly. Either his luck was extremely good, and he triggered some kind of restriction and instantly teleported up, or he really did have something extraordinary about him. The situation was unclear, so he could not make a decision for a moment.
However, he was not afraid. He sneered and looked at Zhou Yuncong. If Zhou Yuncong dared to attack him, he would be more than happy.
Zhao Huan grabbed Zhou Yuncong's arm and said in a deep voice, "Fifth Uncle-Master only has you as his disciple. Your Nirvana Grotto-heaven is the only one participating in this spell assembly. If you can't even pass the first stage, Fifth Uncle-Master is the one who has lost face."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuncong stopped in his tracks. He only stared at Zhu Yong coldly. After a while, he turned around and nodded at Zhao Huan. He no longer paid attention to Zhu Yong and continued to walk forward alone, looking for a way to ascend the pagoda.
Zhao Huan followed. The other two were a little bewildered and a little embarrassed. They hurriedly walked forward as well.
Zhu Yong stared at Zhou Yuncong's back. His eyes gradually narrowed, and a cold light shot out. The last glance that Zhou Yuncong gave him actually made him feel a deep sense of danger. That feeling was like when he brushed shoulders with death on the white-hot battlefield.
In the All Heaven Hall, Yue Hongyan looked at this scene. He coldly glanced at Zhu Yong, then turned to Yang Qing and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, congratulations."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Yuncong is a child who looks cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. I have always known that."
After a moment of silence, Wang Lin said softly, "In the eyes of those who have ulterior motives, this will become a point that can be used. There will always be people with dirty thoughts who like to stab the softest part of others' hearts."
Yang Qing pursed her lips. Looking at her only disciple in the light and shadow illusion, she sighed.
At the side, Xiao Yan suddenly snorted coldly, "Heh!"
Wang Lin and the rest were slightly startled, turning their heads to look, they saw that Xiao Yan is currently staring at a light and shadow illusion, but what is displayed is not the scene inside the starry sky pagoda, but the small world used to hunt Qiongqi in the second stage.
Wang Lin glanced at it and frowned slightly. His eyes turned cold.
In the small world, on a cliff, a woman in purple was fighting with five Qiongqi. It was Li Xingfei.
Below the cliff was an abyss. It was different from the usual terrain. The abyss was constantly spewing out lightning and fire. It was extremely dangerous. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator fell down, he would definitely die.
The battle strength of a pure-blooded Qiongqi was on a completely different level compared to the Sunyang Beast. When five Qiongqi attacked together, it was even more ferocious.
At this moment, a fat figure appeared not far away from the cliff. On his stupid fat face, a pair of small eyes narrowed into slits, emitting a cruel and vicious light. He stared at Li Xingfei and laughed.
