Taixuan Peak was the most beautiful and magnificent of the Nine Peaks of Taixuan. The peak was covered with green trees and exotic flowers and grasses could be seen everywhere. Waterfalls and springs dotted the landscape, and celestial clouds lingered. It was a scene of immortals.
On this morning, when the sky was about to brighten and the eastern horizon was bright and bright, a man emerged from a small pool below a waterfall at the back of the mountain with a "hua la" sound.
The man walked straight out of the pool, letting the water flow down his body. His bronze-colored body was slender and straight. His muscles were not very developed, but he gave off a feeling of power. It seemed that every muscle contained a terrible, explosive power.
The perfect curves of his body could make all the girls in the world blush. He was this kind of person. A warrior who was cold, strong, and always maintained a heart of cultivation. He was Gu Fei.
Gu Fei's appearance was not that breathtakingly handsome, nor did he have the charm that could make all the girls in the world fall head over heels for him.
However, his face was well-defined, giving off a sense of determination and courage. He was a decisive person. Once he decided on something, he would not easily change his mind.
For his enemies, he was a dangerous beast. No one knew what he would do in the next moment, because all his actions were in accordance with his heart.
This was Gu Fei, the last disciple of the Green Spirit Peak of Taixuan Sect. Among the Three Great Taoist Sects, he was the only one who did not cultivate Taoist magic. He was a different kind of Taoist disciple.
"Brother Gu!" When Gu Fei came out of the pool, an ordinary-looking disciple in white came up to Gu Fei with a set of clean clothes and handed them to him.
If other disciples saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. Then, the gossip of Li Lingfeng helping Gu Fei bathe and dress would definitely spread throughout the Taixuan Sect in the shortest time possible.
The ordinary-looking disciple in white who came forward with the clothes was the eldest disciple of the younger generation of the Nine Branches of Taixuan, Li Lingfeng.
"Thank you, Senior!" Gu Fei took the clothes. At this time, the water stains on his body had already been evaporated into water vapor by his inner Yuan Qi and dissipated into the surrounding air.
After seeing Gu Fei put on his clothes, Li Lingfeng smilingly said, "It seems that Junior Brother's cultivation has improved again! I remember that Junior Brother's previous cultivation level seemed to be … "
"Hmm?" When Gu Fei heard this, he immediately felt a chill in his heart. Li Lingfeng's words had a hidden meaning. Gu Fei immediately became vigilant. Without batting an eyelid, he said, "On the path of cultivation, opportunities are sometimes very important. I, your junior brother, was just a little lucky!"
As for Li Lingfeng's curiosity about his sudden increase in cultivation, Gu Fei simply brushed it off without leaving a trace. Gu Fei did not want anyone else to know about the secret of his great increase in cultivation, because if this secret were to be leaked, it would bring him endless troubles in the future.
"Oh?" Li Lingfeng looked at Gu Fei with a strange look in his eyes. He said with some envy, "I don't have such luck as Junior Brother!"
"Haha!" Gu Fei laughed, then asked, "Where is Senior Brother Zi Yu? Why don't I see him?" Gu Fei immediately changed the topic, not wanting to talk more about cultivation with Li Lingfeng.
"Junior Brother Zi Yu? He has already returned to his place of cultivation. Today's second round of competition is very important. He needs to prepare, "said Li Lingfeng.
After the first round of competition, out of the 81 outstanding disciples of the nine branches who participated in the competition, 39 people were eliminated, and 42 people advanced to the second round of competition.
These 42 young disciples of the Taixuan Sect who won represented the 42 young disciples with the most powerful cultivation level in the Nine Branches of Taixuan.
No one was weak, and the weak had already been eliminated. Even a young expert like Zi Yu did not dare to be careless. As disciples of the Sect Leader, the pressure they endured was much greater than the disciples of the other eight branches.
The disciples of the Sect Leader had to lead the group of disciples of the nine branches. They were the role models for the disciples of the other eight branches. Therefore, Li Lingfeng, Zi Yu, and the others could not lose. Even if they lost, they had to lose brilliantly.
"Hm! I want to cultivate my Qi here for a while. I wonder if it's possible? " Gu Fei's cultivation had broken through to the peak of the seventh level of awakening. He wanted to feel out the situation in his body in order to better control the new power in his body.
When Li Lingfeng heard this, his face did not show any expression. He only glanced around, then said, "Why not? However, you must not miss today's competition. "
"In that case, thank you, Senior Brother. When the competition begins, I will definitely be there on time." As Gu Fei spoke, he walked to a large rock beside the pool, jumped up, and then sat cross-legged on the rock, closing his eyes to cultivate.
When Li Lingfeng saw this, he shook his head and left this beautiful place to go to the Supreme Mystery Temple.
In the rear hall of the Supreme Mystery Temple, where Daoist Xuantian cultivated, Daoist Xuantian sat quietly on a praying mat like a stone statue. There were no fluctuations coming from his body, as if he had really turned into a lifeless stone statue. No one could sense his existence.
Daoist Xuantian seemed to have become one with the world. His dao was profound, and he was one with the world. His spiritual power was endless. This was the terror of a cultivator at the ninth level of Imperial Void.
He was only a step away from attaining the position of a half-god and enjoying an immortal lifespan. This was the Immortal God Realm that every single cultivator that comprehended the Grand Dao and pursued immortality dreamt of.
Unfortunately, this one step separated immortals from mortals. It was this one step that had shackled Daoist Xuantian for hundreds of years. The Demigod realm was like an unattainable fruit. He could only smell the fragrance of the fruit, but he could not pluck it.
"Longevity Grass, two hundred years of lifespan. I can't miss this chance!" Suddenly, Daoist Xuantian opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed through them.
At this time, a series of light footsteps came from the distance and stopped outside the door.
"Come in!" With Daoist Xuantian's powerful divine sense, the scene outside the door was immediately reflected in his mind. It was even clearer than when he saw it with his eyes.
The stone door was pushed open from the outside and a white-robed youth walked in. The white-robed youth closed the stone door and respectfully walked in front of Daoist Xuantian.
"En! Did you send off that Gu Fei? " Daoist Xuantian asked indifferently. He didn't even look at the ordinary-looking youth in front of him.
This youth was Li Lingfeng, who had come back to report. He quickly said, "Ancestor, junior brother Gu Fei is still in the back mountain, preparing for today's competition."
"Oh?" Daoist Xuantian was a bit surprised. The people of Green Spirit Peak were all cultivation maniacs. This was not bad! They didn't miss any time to cultivate. Very good! Daoist Xuantian nodded to himself.
"You can leave!" Daoist Xuantian said.
"Yes!" Li Lingfeng respectfully took a few steps back, then turned to the stone door, opened it, and walked out.
The cultivation place of the ancestor was not a place that just anyone could enter. Without Daoist Xuantian's orders, no one in the Taixuan Sect dared to come here, not even the heads of the seven branches.
"What secrets does Green Spirit Peak have that I don't know? Is the tai chi symbol on Gu Fei's chest a coincidence or … "Daoist Xuantian slowly closed his eyes and turned back into a statue. He sat quietly on the praying mat, motionless and silent.
The sun rose from the east, dispelling the darkness that shrouded the world. Light shone on the earth. A figure stood at the top of Shaoyang Peak, facing the rising sun. His stomach expanded and contracted, and two flickering flames came out of his nostrils.
The power of fire in the world, especially the first wisp of true fire that came from the rising sun, was sucked into the nose of the old Daoist.
This old Daoist was the head of the Shaoyang Peak, Daoist Chao Yang. Daoist Chao Yang cultivated in fire-elemental dao techniques. He was absorbing the true fire of the sun to nourish the fire-elemental power in his body.
With the Nine Revolutions of Qi, Taoist Zhaoyang's nostrils sucked in the two streams of crimson Qi into his body. His entire body was immediately covered with a layer of faint fire, emitting a terrifyingly high temperature, causing the space around him to distort.
Where Daoist Chao Yang stood, there was not a single blade of grass within a hundred feet of him. All that was left was a scorched and cracked stone. It seemed that he often absorbed the sun's fire here, so much so that the ground within a hundred feet around him was scorched.
After finishing his cultivation, Daoist Chao Yang's figure suddenly disappeared from the top of the mountain.
Not only the old Daoist on Shaoyang Peak, but all the disciples of Taixuan Sect who cultivated in fire-elemental dao techniques were standing high up, facing the sun, breathing in and out.
They were all doing the same thing, and that was to absorb the first wisp of pure sunlight that shone into the world when the sun rose. When the sun rose in the morning, the first ray of sunlight was the first wisp of sun essence that the sun emitted throughout the day. It was the purest true fire of the sun.
Then, the sun emitted a dazzling light that illuminated the world. The pure true fire of the sun gradually faded until it finally disappeared.
Clang!
Soon, a melodious bell sound rang throughout the nine peaks of Taixuan. It came from Taixuan Peak, which was surrounded by the eight peaks. It echoed throughout Taixuan Mountain for a long time.
This sound seemed to penetrate through Taixuan Mountain and spread to every corner of the huge Taixuan Mountain for hundreds of miles. It completely broke the peace of Taixuan Mountain.
After the bell rang, on the other eight peaks that surrounded Taixuan Peak, white-robed disciples or green-robed disciples appeared one after another. The disciples of Taixuan Sect who were cultivating on the nine peaks of Taixuan all came out from their cultivation places.
Whether they wanted to or not, when they heard the bell, they all had to go to Taixuan Peak in the middle. Even those who were in a deep state of meditation were awakened by the sound of the bell without exception.
The disciples of the nine branches gathered outside Taixuan Temple on Taixuan Peak. The nine major arenas stood on the square, and the heads of the seven branches and Xuantian Taoist sat high up in front of the temple.
