"Eh?
I haven't seen you for a night. Little Changshou, why do you look so pale? Did you … secretly do something bad and bully our Little Ling 'e? "
In the morning, the second stage of the Internal Competition was about to begin.
Jiujiu floated back with the Spiked Mace. When she saw that Li Changshou's face was slightly haggard, she asked with "concern", "I'm a little stressed.
After all, the Heavenly Cycle Competition is about to begin. "
Li Changshou answered with a smile and sighed in his heart.
Is it … easy for me!?!
For myself, for my master and junior sister, I went to the Celestial Court to avoid the Great God-Conferment Tribulation …
Yesterday, he had no choice but to seize the opportunity and use the paper effigy to say that he had a good relationship with the Jade Emperor.
After that, he frantically deduced whether the advice he had given was harmful to Ren School and the Dao Sect. He also wondered how high the risk of exposing himself would be. Would he incur the displeasure of the Saints and the experts of the three sects …
It was only an hour ago that Li Changshou convinced himself.
There's no need to worry. Let's see the consequences.
That caused him to be a little exhausted and his expression to be a little ugly.
The Heaven Immortals and Gold God of the Duxian Gate did not know that a disciple of theirs had secretly contacted the Celestial Court …
Li Changshou knew that as long as he took the initiative to plot something, he would definitely cause all sorts of karma.
However, there would definitely not be any results if he did not take the initiative …
For example, there would be no results if he did not take the initiative …
With a few clangs, the jade platform floated over from the main hall again. There were a few more guests today.
Li Changshou maintained the Wind Speech Incantation and waited for the Competition within the sect? The Heavenly Cycle Competition had begun.
At that moment, the number of the jade slips in Li Changshou and Ling 'e's hands had not changed, but the number of victories had been reset to zero.
Li Changshou was naturally not too worried about the next battle.
However, Ling 'e felt a little pressured when it came to advancing from 360 to 108.
Although her aptitude was outstanding, her Senior Brother constantly gave her special attention, and she even obtained a few Celestial Treasures to protect herself, her cultivation age was still too low.
Although Li Changshou told her not to worry about winning or losing, Senior Brother had set a small goal for her. Ling'e already had a little obsession in her heart.
Before the Competition began, Ling'e hesitated for a while. She whispered in her senior brother's ear while Youngest Uncle was patrolling the mountain with his mace.
"Senior Brother, can I … have an epiphany and break through?"
In other words, he wanted to use this moment of enlightenment as an excuse to reveal a bit more of his true cultivation.
Epiphany was something that could only be chanced upon and not sought.
Although it was possible to encounter other species out of habit, it did not have universal reference value.
Up until now, Ling'e had only had three epiphanies in total, and they were all under the guidance of Li Changshou.
Li Changshou pondered for a moment before replying via voice transmission.
"Sure, but you have to pay attention to the details. If you want to do it, you have to do it properly."
Ling'e nodded solemnly and began to think about the details of her epiphany.
Then, she closed her eyes and focused. She pretended to enter a state of Dao enlightenment and secretly adjusted the second version of the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra, pretending that her aura was unstable.
Above, the Deputy Sect Leader began to give an important speech.
He encouraged the disciples who had been eliminated and encouraged the disciples who had entered the next round to continue to fight and show off their abilities. He wanted to let nature take its course. The rewards from the sect were already on the way.
After the Deputy Sect Leader finished speaking, the fixed "emcee" of the Duxian Gate, Elder Ge, stood up and announced the start of the second round of the competition. The jade slips in the hands of two disciples immediately lit up …
Li Changshou thought for a while. Could the so-called drawing of lots be an elder secretly pointing at two jade slips?
He observed secretly and soon discovered something strange …
There were really two Grand Elders. Every time the jade slips in the hands of the disciples lit up, their fingers would move slightly.
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched slightly. He had originally thought that the jade slips were a set of magical Dharma treasures. He did not expect …
Sure enough, some of the things that looked so high and mighty could be very simple in principle.
Li Changshou appeared earlier today. The sixteenth battle was between him and a senior sister from the same sect.
The entire process of the battle was very smooth. Both parties had a good experience. The Xiao Qiong Mount that the senior sister had been thinking about did not appear.
Li Changshou's talisman array formation barely won in the end. During the process, he only used Earth Escape to dodge the other party's attack. Soon, he emerged from the ground.
Li Changshou naturally would not do something as tasteless as passing under someone else's skirt with Earth Escape …
When Li Changshou returned to his position on a cloud, he saw that Ling'e only had her eyes closed and was focused. There were some Dao runes floating around her …
Junior Sister's acting skills have improved greatly recently.
Li Changshou felt gratified. If she had not told him previously, he would have been deceived by his junior sister's acting skills.
Li Changshou did not care much. He sat on the meditation cushion and quietly slid towards an empty spot behind him.
"Junior Sister, you're really growing up …"
The battle below continued. The 360 disciples had to fight nine rounds, so it was convenient for them to be ranked.
The jade slip that was placed horizontally on Lingle's skirt trembled slightly, and the light on it lit up.
Ling'e did not make up her mind. Dao runes surrounded her body, and her hands were in the shape of orchids. She placed them on her knees, and her pretty face became brighter.
Li Changshou chuckled when he saw that …
Little Junior Sister's acting is a little too much.
Then, Li Changshou frowned and realized that something was amiss. He immediately wanted to set up a barrier around Ling'e.
But before he could do anything, he suddenly heard a 'ta ta ta ta' sound coming from the jade slip.
"Huh?"
Ling'e slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were empty, like the clearest starry sky without any clouds or moon.
However, there was still some confusion in the emptiness.
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that.
Ling'e had really broken through. She had been disturbed at the crucial moment. It was good that she did not suffer from Qi Deviation …
However, seeking a breakthrough in cultivation in such a noisy environment was a little too risky.
A deacon's shout came from the field.
"Xin, 21, 21!
It's your turn to fight! "
"Yes!" Ling'e hurriedly answered and stood up with the jade slip in her hand.
However, just as she stood up, the aura around her suddenly surged like a tidal wave. As she had just broken through, mysterious Dao runes spread out!
In an instant, immortal senses and spiritual senses from all over the jade platform scanned the place.
Ling'e's face turned pale at first before she realized the problem.
The Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra lost its effect for a moment because she had just broken through!
Her true cultivation level of the Fifth Stage of Void Return had been exposed just like that!
'What … what should I do?'
Ling'e's fair and slender neck was a little stiff. She turned her head weakly to look at her senior brother, only to see that he was looking at her with admiration …
His expression was exactly the same as the others around him!
This …
It's over …
…
Ling'e was on the verge of tears. Why did something as unlucky as breaking through on the spot have to happen to her!?!
"Junior Sister! How did you break through so many realms all of a sudden!?! "
Li Changshou said in shock. The surrounding senior brothers and sisters also sighed.
"Breaking through to the sixth stage in one go?"
"What kind of immortal aptitude is this? Is another cultivation genius going to appear in our Duxian Gate? "
"People deserve to die when compared to others. Daos deserve to be crippled when compared to others."
Ling'e could not help but support her forehead with one hand. The two executives below did not rush her anymore. They also looked over in admiration.
At that moment, she heard Li Changshou send a voice transmission to her. "Don't look so sad. You should be calm on the surface and happy on the inside. You don't want others to see that you're happy.
Don't worry, I'm very open-minded.
When you go back, you'll just repeat the Steadiness Sutra 3,600 times. "
The corners of Lan Ling 'e's mouth twitched a few times, but she felt a weight lifted from her heart.
It's good that Senior Brother still cares about me …
She immediately adjusted her expression and held the jade slip. Under the gazes of the surrounding people, she rode a cloud forward. Her aura was still a little unstable.
That was not a disguise. Her aura was really unstable.
The most unlucky person should be Ling'e's opponent in the battle, a male disciple at the third stage of the Void Return realm …
Ling'e was in a hurry to go back and explain to her senior brother that she did not do it on purpose. She activated the power of her immortal treasure and sent the male disciple flying.
She bowed again and left on a cloud.
The gazes in the arena immediately became even more emotional and filled with admiration.
However, as soon as Ling'e turned around, she realized that her meditation cushion was already … more than 100 feet away from her senior brother's position.
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to her ears.
"I'll agree to three rules.
Behave yourself next. The stone slabs on the peak are almost not enough for you to scrape. "
"Oh." Ling'e gave Li Changshou an aggrieved look. Then, she sat on her meditation cushion and felt vexed.
Her plan to sleep with her brother for a hundred years was destroyed by a breakthrough!
Why did she come to comprehend previously?
After the incident with Senior Sister Yan 'er and her Junior Brother Qi Qi, she had finally gotten a little closer to Senior Brother. Yet, it was destroyed in the Inner Sect Competition!
Where is the justice!
How unfair!
At that moment, Jiujiu flew over in a hurry with the Spiked Mace that was dripping with blood.
She exclaimed, "Little Ling'e! How did you break through so much in one go!?! "
Li Changshou, who was at the side, was also secretly amazed …
Little Aunt-Master was with Ling'e every day. She actually did not check if Ling'e was hiding her cultivation level …
"Aunt-Master, stop talking. I'm … under a lot of pressure now."
"Breaking through is a good thing."
"I, I …"
Ling'e was speechless. She turned around and lay in her Aunt-Master's arms. She turned all the grievances in her heart into a few indistinct whimpers.
"I'm afraid … I'll have mental demons …"
"Be good. Don't be afraid. The more you're afraid, the easier it is for mental demons to appear.
Although it's not a good thing to break through too quickly, it's a godsend for you. It's fine, it's fine. "
Jiujiu turned her head and looked around. Finally, she found Li Changshou, who was "far away". She immediately glared at Li Changshou.
The latter closed his eyes and focused. He did not notice it at all. He tried his best to avoid her gaze.
At the same time, Li Changshou also heard some bad news for Xiao Qiong Mount while he was casting the Wind Speech Incantation.
A Grand Elder had the thought of taking in a disciple and wanted to take Ling 'e in as his disciple.
Looking at Ling'e, Li Changshou knew that it was a good choice for her to follow the Grand Elder to cultivate. However, he had raised Ling'e, after all. He could not bear to part with her.
Besides, he could teach her what the Grand Elder could teach her.
If it was before the Tribulation Transcendence and ascension, Li Changshou would definitely weigh the pros and cons and not stop it.
But now …
Junior Sister knows too much about me. It's safer for her to stay by my side.
Li Changshou quickly made up his mind. Unless Ling'e was willing, it would be useless even if the Sect Leader came.
That matter happened quickly.
On the fourteenth day of the sect's internal Competition, after the fourth round of the Heavenly Cycle Competition, two female Perfected Immortals and an old woman came over. They set up a barrier beside Ling'e and said something warmly.
Li Changshou frowned. He carried his meditation cushion and walked back from afar. He sat in his usual spot five feet away from his junior sister.
Hmph …
Ling'e turned to look at her senior brother and blinked. She pursed her lips and smiled.
Not long after, the old woman in the Heaven Immortal realm looked regretful and handed a square Immortal treasure to Ling'e.
Ling'e shook her head and refused. She stood up and bowed to the old woman.
Li Changshou could actually hear what they were saying, but he did not listen much at that moment. He only closed his eyes and rested.
Coincidentally, it was his turn to fight. Li Changshou's expression remained the same. He entered the arena and won easily.
When he returned, the old woman and the two female immortals were no longer there. Only Ling'e was sitting there, looking at him with a smile.
"Senior Brother ~"
Li Changshou did not say anything and sat back on his meditation cushion.
Ling'e sat back on her meditation cushion and remained calm. She kept dawdling and moved over bit by bit …
She looked ahead and said softly, "Senior Brother, you were nervous just now, right?"
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. "Let's make it three rules."
"I'll add four hundred times myself. I'll round it up to four thousand times … Senior Brother, answer me first. Were you nervous just now?"
Li Changshou swept his sleeves and cupped his hands. He replied via voice transmission, "Four thousand and fifty times. I still owe you fifty times previously."
Ling'e could not help but roll her eyes. However, she pursed her lips and smiled happily. She hummed a cheerful tune at the side.
Not long after, Jiujiu flew over hurriedly and asked Ling'e softly how she rejected the Grand Elder.
"Hehe, I lied to them …"
He muttered to himself, and so on and so forth.
"Ahem!"
Li Changshou, who was at the side, took a deep breath and almost raised his hand to clean up for his master.
Jiujiu said in horror, "Really?"
"I already said it was a lie." Ling'e held Jiujiu's hand and laughed.
Ling'e smiled and said, "There are fewer people on Xiao Qiong Mount. There's still a place to play with you every day, Aunt-Master. There's no need to go to other peaks."
Jiujiu smiled and squinted. She sat down between Ling'e and Li Changshou and pulled Ling'e away.
The real situation was …
A moment ago, in the barrier, when Lan Ling'e bowed with a Dao salute, she said softly, "I do not desire longevity or vanity.
"I do not desire longevity, nor do I love vanity. I only wish to always be by your side.
If the sect does not allow it, Ling'e will ask to be demoted to the mortal world. I will not regret it. "
It was all thanks to the Duxian Gate's unchanging tradition.
The Grand Elder and the two Perfected Immortal executives felt the same way. They understood and did not make things difficult for her.
