"All the top ten clans have disciples participating in the Lawless Battle, why is there no first clan?" Ting Lanyue asked curiously.
Zhong Yue too, was moved. Li Xiuniang had introduced the nine clans' core disciples, but she didn't mention the number one clan. Logically speaking, the number one clan was the strongest clan in the Great Wilderness, they should have sent their core disciples to participate in the Lawless Battle.
"The first clan is the Feng Clan, the clan that our Swords Gate headmaster is from, they are born with a strong bloodline, I heard that they are the bloodline of a human god."
Li Xiuniang shook her head and said, "Although the Feng Clan is strong, they are too small in population, they have no disciples participating in the Lawless Battle. However, although the Feng Clan is small in population, each and every one of them is strong. For example, Feng Wuji, one of the four young aces of Swords Gate, is from the Feng Clan. And our Swords Gate headmaster is the strongest existence in the Great Wilderness! "
"Feng Clan?"
In Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, Xin Huo was surprised and overjoyed, "The Feng Clan was the biggest clan in the Fuxi era, it was also the first clan to appear, it was known as the first clan in the world! The Feng Clan back then was the direct descendant of the first Fuxi and Nuwa, I wonder if the Feng Clan of the Great Wilderness is related to the Feng Clan of the Fuxi era … Brat Yue, I want to meet the people of the Feng Clan, maybe I can find a pureblood Fuxi celestial! "
Zhong Yue's heart thumped, Li Xiuniang said that the Feng Clan's bloodline was born with a strong bloodline, and now Xin Huo said that the Feng Clan was the direct descendant of the Fuxi, maybe he could really find a pureblood Fuxi celestial in the Feng Clan of the Great Wilderness.
"The Feng Clan is in the Great Wilderness, there are also people of the Feng Clan in Swords Gate, as long as I meet the headmaster or Feng Wuji, it will be fine. But with my current status, how am I qualified to meet them? I have to become a Qi Practitioner of Swords Gate to have the chance to meet them, right? "
All of the upper house disciples had already gathered at the Five Pine Peak, and the Qi Practitioners who were teaching the disciples of the Knowledge Teaching Pavilion had also arrived. They stood behind the elders with huge umbrellas floating in the air, and the elders sat under them.
Not long later, an elder stood up, he looked down at the thousands of upper house disciples and said solemnly, "Today is the Lawless Battle, the upper house disciples can fight without any restraint, soul weapons, totem pillars and all kinds of offensive skills. However, you are from the same sect after all. You should stop when the time is right and decide the winner and loser. You can't kill him. Junior Brother Lu, tell them the rules. "
Another Qi Practitioner stepped forward and explained the rules of the Lawless Battle.
The Lawless Battles of Swords Gate were very simple, it was all about seizing a high platform. There were a total of a hundred high platforms, one only had to occupy one and block off the others.
Those who occupied the high platform would face challenges from others. As long as they could defend the high platform for four hours, they would become one of the top hundred in the Upper Academy.
After the battles of the hundred Swords Gates, the hundred strongest cultivators of the upper house would be decided, and the qualifications to enter the Ethereal Palace would be determined.
Among these hundred disciples, there would also be a great battle to determine the strongest among them. The strongest disciple would receive the most resources after entering the Ethereal Palace!
"So simple?"
Zhong Yue was startled after hearing the rules of the duel, he thought in his heart, Such a duel wouldn't be able to test the true prowess of the disciples, right? After all, there were some disciples who cultivated flying techniques, and they were unable to display the profundities of flying techniques in a duel on the high platform. Moreover, there are thousands of Upper House disciples. With so many of them, in a place like Five Pine Peak, the hundred high platforms are bound to be packed tightly … "
After the Qi Practitioner finished explaining the rules, he turned around and asked for the elder's permission. The elder nodded and said, "Pull the Shen Dragon."
The Qi Practitioner nodded and shouted, "Pull the Shen Dragon!"
"Yes."
Over ten Qi Practitioners nodded and shouted, "Pull the Shen Dragon!"
Hu — —
Close to the golden summit of Swords Gate, the sea of clouds rumbled, and Qi Practitioners could be seen dragging thick chains in their hands. There were over a hundred of them, and the other end of the chains was tied to the sea of clouds.
These hundred Qi Practitioners dragged the chains with all their might, and the sea of clouds was like a real ocean. The waves were turbulent, and the clouds were undulating like mountains. Moments later, a gigantic creature was dragged out of the sea of clouds!
The gigantic creature had the head of a chicken, the back of a tortoise, the tail of a dragon, and its claws were extremely sharp. It rested in the sea of clouds, and when it was dragged out of the sea of clouds, it let out a loud roar that sounded like the cry of a rooster.
Zhong Yue looked up and saw the Shen Dragon hovering in the air like a mountain, struggling to get out of the sea of clouds.
"Swords Gate has such a strong beast, they are really strong. But what are they planning to do with the Shen Dragon?"
Ting Lanyue murmured, "So the rooster cry I hear every morning is the cry of this Shen Dragon. I was wondering why a sacred ground like Swords Gate would have a rooster …."
The Shen Dragon was dragged over by the Qi Practitioners, and it was still struggling. It looked at Ting Lanyue angrily and said, "You called me a rooster?"
Ting Lanyue stuck out her tongue and quickly hid behind Zhong Yue.
One of the Swords Gate elders stood up and shouted, "Stop fooling around, Shen Dragon. The Swords Gate has been taking care of you for so long, and now, it is time for you to be used."
The Shen Dragon spoke in the human language, and it said in a muffled voice, "Little brat, I am your grandfather's generation, at least say 'please' when you need me."
The elder was left speechless, and he said, "Please."
The Shen Dragon then stopped struggling, and its psyche surged out. Zhong Yue's heart thumped, and he saw hundreds of mountains appearing on the summit of Five Pines Mountain. The mountains overlapped each other and spread out in all directions!
In just a few breaths of time, hundreds of mountains appeared around them, and they were all formed by the Shen Dragon's psyche. The mountains were undulating, the trees were dense, the beasts were everywhere, and there were even birds flying in the air!
The hundreds of miles of mountains appeared in just a blink of an eye, as if they were real!
An upper house disciple stepped forward and touched the mountains, and he exclaimed in shock, "It's real!"
The Shen Dragon's psyche could materialize illusions into reality, and the mountains, trees, beasts, and birds that were visualized by the psyche were so real that one would not miss a step!
The Shen Dragon's psyche was innately strong, and the Shen Dragon that was bred in the clouds of Swords Gate Mountain was even more extraordinary. Its psyche could even envelop the entire Swords Gate Mountain and turn it into an illusion.
Furthermore, its psyche was so strong that even if it turned into an illusion, the illusion would still be as real as if it was real, and nothing could be seen.
In the past, Swords Gate had experienced a few invasions from the foreign races, and this Shen Dragon had also participated in the battles. However, this Shen Dragon was very stubborn, and it often tried to slip away, which was why it was chained up.
Its seniority was so high that even the elders would have to lower their heads and give way to it in terms of seniority.
In the air, the elders nodded, and the Qi Practitioners in the Knowledge Teaching Pavilion surged out their psyche. One after another, the platforms flew up and flew towards the mountains.
Not long after, all the high platforms were sent to the top of the mountain.
"Let the duels begin!"
As soon as the order was given, the upper house disciples moved out and flew towards the mountains. Some of them turned their psyche into wings and flew up, trying to get onto the platforms before the others.
As long as they could get onto the platforms and place down the totem pillars, they would have the upper hand!
Zhong Yue was not in a hurry to move, he stood on the same spot and waited patiently. Other than him, Ting Lanyue also did not move, and there were a few dozen others who stood there without any intention to move.
"These people are very calm, even if they are the first one to occupy the platform, they will still be attacked by the others. If they continue to fight, their cultivation base will be depleted, and they will not be able to hold on any longer."
An elder stroked his beard and said, "Although they are not the strongest, they are the smartest. They are probably waiting for the right time to find the weakest mountain and fight with the weaker ones. That way, they will be able to enter the top hundred."
The other Qi Practitioners and elders nodded and said, "If they are strong enough, then there is no need to wait, they can just rush over and defend the platform."
Zhong Yue looked around, Li Xiuniang and the other young experts from the top ten clans were nowhere to be seen, and Shui Qingyan had also left.
"Xin Huo, did you notice which mountain Tian Myriad Mother has gone to?"
Xin Huo startled, he said, "I am looking around through your eyes, you can't see it, and neither can I. You want to fight with Tian Myriad Mother? Brat Yue, that is the spirit of a demon god, not an ordinary upper house disciple! With her prowess, a small fry like Shui Qinghe would not even be qualified to carry her shoes! "
Zhong Yue looked at the mountains and saw that there were already people occupying the platforms, using the totem pillars to form a formation and fighting with the disciples that were chasing after them.
A few moments later, the platforms were already occupied by people, and an intense battle began!
Beside Zhong Yue, the dozens of upper house disciples quickly chose their targets and each of them went their own way. Ting Lanyue also left, but suddenly, she turned back and said fiercely, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, don't choose my path, or else senior martial sister will bite you to death!"
Zhong Yue was speechless, he also stood up and walked towards another path, he thought, Tian Myriad Mother is so strong, even if I can't meet her this time, I will definitely meet her in the hundred disciple battles, there is no need to rush!
As he walked, he did not meet many disciples, most of the disciples that were rushing towards this mountain were already near the platforms.
High above in the sky, the elders and Qi Practitioners were shocked when they saw him, they looked at each other and mumbled, "Is this young man's eyesight really that bad? He chose this path after such a long time? "
"On this path is Shui Qinghe, the core disciple of the Shui Tu Clan, one of the top ten clans, he is qualified to compete for the title of the strongest upper house disciple! How could he choose this path? Isn't he just looking for trouble for himself? How unwise! "
"Maybe his eyesight is just too bad."
The elders and Qi Practitioners shook their heads, they did not know whether to laugh or cry at Zhong Yue's choice.
Zhong Yue strolled leisurely, it did not take long for him to reach the peak of the mountain. In front of him, a huge wave of water covered the platform, water dragons coiled around the platform, totem pillars stood tall, water dragons, water swords and ice swords intertwined with each other, forming a sword array that blocked off the attacks of the upper house disciples.
One of the upper house disciples flew up into the sky, trying to launch an attack from the air, but suddenly, a water Sword Qi shot out and shot him down from the sky.
Shui Qinghe guarded the platform alone, no one could attack him!
