At the foot of Taixuan Peak, Gu Fei and Dongfang Chen met. The two of them were ready to fight, but Dongfang Chen suddenly retracted his powerful aura and went down the mountain.
This made Gu Fei stunned, but after thinking about it, he also understood. This Taixuan Peak was the cultivation place of the disciples of the nine branches. After all, it was an important place in the sect. To fight here, it was simply not putting the disciples of the Taixuan Peak in their eyes!
Moreover, tomorrow was the day of the competition. Why rush?
"Hmph!" Gu Fei watched Dongfang Chen's figure disappear down the mountain and couldn't help but snort coldly. Although Dongfang Chen was not easy to deal with, with the strength of a martial cultivator and the Five Elements battle skills that were not inferior to any Taoist techniques, Gu Fei was confident that he could defeat Dongfang Chen.
At this time, Gu Fei's tense body also slowly relaxed. His muscles and bones relaxed, and the condensed power dispersed back into his flesh and blood.
Gu Fei's ancient cultivation method had a special characteristic, and that was, before he fought, no one would know Gu Fei's true strength, because most of his power was hidden in his flesh and blood, and only when he fought with others would it burst out.
"Tomorrow … I don't know who will be trampled under foot!" Gu Fei didn't think much of it. Dongfang Chen was a good opponent, but he was destined to become his own whetstone.
Gu Fei rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then shrugged and left Taixuan Peak. Among the disciples of the younger generation of the Taixuan Sect, there were not many people who were worthy of his attention.
On Taixuan Peak, inside the Taixuan Temple, the huge hall was very empty. The headmaster, Daoist Xuantian, sat on a white jade throne in the middle. On both sides of him sat seven old Taoists. These were the heads of the seven branches.
"Senior Brother, are we really going to send the top ten winners of the competition down the mountain? That is the disciple with the most potential among the younger generation of our sect! "The head of Biyun Peak, Daoist Xuanfa, broke the silence in the hall.
"Yes! The Ruin Sky Realm is a special place. It is impossible for us to let the masters of the sect enter. This is too risky, "Daoist Xuantian said indifferently.
Daoist Xuancang of Full Moon Peak glanced at Daoist Xuantian, who was sitting on the throne, and frowned. "The Ruin Sky Realm is full of unpredictable dangers. None of the disciples who have entered have been able to come out unscathed. It would be a pity if a few of the ten disciples were killed inside."
The average age of the top ten young disciples of the Taixuan Sect was less than 20 years old, and they were already outstanding in their youth, showing that they were different from the rest. These ten people might not be to say they of the geniuses of the Taixuan Of the Sect.
On the path of cultivation, as long as one was successful in cultivation, it was difficult to meet an opponent when they were young, and they surpassed their peers. These people who stood at the forefront of the younger generation were the focus of the sect's nurturing, because perhaps in a few decades, they would become great figures who could shake the heavens and earth.
It was inevitable that outstanding people would receive attention. For example, Li Lingfeng of the Taixuan Sect and Dongfang Chen of the Biyun Peak. Their strength was unquestionable among the young disciples.
In the world of cultivation, potential was the most important thing. No sect would let a disciple with unlimited potential fall into danger or even die young.
Because these people were the future of the sect.
Daoist Xuancang's words made everyone look at each other. The heads of the seven branches certainly did not want their outstanding disciples to take the risk.
The head of Purple Bamboo Peak, Long Hongxue, pondered for a moment before he said to Daoist Cang Xuan, "Senior sect master, it's worth it even if the ten disciples have to take the risk for that thing in the Ruins Heaven Realm."
"Longevity Grass. As long as I can get the Longevity Grass, I have the confidence to break through to the demigod stage." Daoist Xuantian could no longer maintain his composure when he said these words.
Cultivators at the Defending Void stage could form a Primordial Spirit embryo and give birth to a Daoist Primordial Spirit or Nascent Soul, and enjoy a lifespan of a thousand years. However, this did not mean that cultivators at the Defending Void stage could live forever.
To truly live forever, one had to break through to the Defending Void stage, cast off their mortal bodies, and form an immortal body. The bottleneck of the ninth layer of the Heaven stage had shackled Daoist Xuantian for hundreds of years. The great limit of a thousand years was only two to three hundred years away. If he could get the Longevity Grass, his lifespan would be extended by two hundred years.
With these several hundred years of time, Daoist Xuantian was really confident that he could break through the shackles of heaven and earth and become a legendary existence — a demigod!
"Longevity Grass!" The eyes of all the heads of the seven branches lit up, as if they had seen a rare treasure. They could no longer conceal the excitement in their hearts.
The Longevity Grass was a spiritual herb of heaven and earth that only existed in legends. If an ordinary person consumed it, they would be reborn and live a long life. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be easy for them to live for one or two hundred years.
"When the Longevity Grass was discovered in the Ruin Sky Realm, who knows how long it has been growing in the Ruin Sky Realm. No one knows whether it has matured or not!" Daoist Xuancang no longer insisted on his own idea, because the Longevity Grass was a major event that concerned the rise and fall of the sect.
A demigod! If a sect had a demigod, as long as the demigod did not die, the sect would continue to prosper. A demigod was a terrifying existence that could live forever in the truest sense of the word.
On the Teng Long Continent, demigods were synonymous with invincibility. However, demigod experts had already disappeared. For thousands of years, there had not been a demigod on the Teng Long Continent.
The seven heads of the seven branches were all cultivators of the Defending Void stage, and they also desired the Longevity Grass. The allure of the Longevity Grass was irresistible to cultivators of the Imperial Void Realm.
Daoist Xuantian looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "According to the state of maturity recorded in the ancient records, the Longevity Grass should mature in the next one or two hundred years."
"But … the other two sects … are not easy to deal with!" Purple Bamboo Peak's Chief Long Hongxue said worriedly.
"Yes, the people of the Shang Qing Sect and the Guangcheng Immortal Sect are also determined to get the Longevity Grass. The Ruin Sky Realm was discovered by the Three Great Daoist Sects together. It is impossible that the people of the Shang Qing Sect and the Guangcheng Immortal Sect don't know about the existence of the Longevity Grass."
"Hmph! Open strife and covert strife are inevitable. It depends on who is capable. " Daoist Xuantian's voice suddenly turned cold. As his pupils shrank, two extremely sharp rays of light shot out from his eyes.
The seven heads of the seven branches were immediately shocked, and their hearts trembled. This senior brother of the sect usually did not show himself and cultivated in the Supreme Mystery Hall, but he actually had such a competitive heart.
"In that case, I will now go and arrange for tomorrow's competition! The Ruin Sky Realm will only be unaffected by those who have awakened me, "Daoist Xuantian said, stood up, bowed to Daoist Xuantian, and walked out of the hall.
The heads of the other six branches also left their seats and bid farewell to Daoist Xuantian. At first, they had secretly planned to prevent their outstanding disciples from going to the Ruin Sky Realm. But now, they could not wait for their disciples to fight for an extra spot. That way, more people would go to the Ruin Sky Realm, and the chances of getting the Longevity Grass would be higher than those of the other branches.
The Three Great Daoist Sects were fighting openly and covertly, and the nine branches of the Supreme Mystery Sect were also fighting openly and covertly.
In the main hall, after the heads of the seven branches left, Daoist Xuantian was left sitting on the throne of the sect leader alone. His eyes were incomparably deep as he looked out of the hall, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and then he called the Taoist child who was on standby outside the hall. Daoist Xuantian ordered the Taoist child, "Go to Green Spirit Peak immediately and bring that Gu Fei to see me."
