Not long after Liao Chen entered the venue, three gongs sounded throughout the Meditation Dharma Assembly, indicating that the Dharma Assembly had officially begun.
Later, outside the lotus pond, the host Liao Yuan and the monk Kong Yun each took out a jade talisman. They poured their magic power into the talisman and pointed it at the restriction before them. Two rays of light flew out from their hands and struck the light barrier.
Three breaths later, the two rays of light fused together to form a Buddhist swastika. As the swastika grew larger, a three foot wide passage appeared on the light barrier.
Yuan Dao said, "Everyone, please enter quickly. I will close the passageway in half an hour. If you can't make it in time, then I'll have to apologize. You won't be able to obtain the Five Color Golden Lotus. "
Yi Tian looked around and saw Liao Chen walk toward the passage without hesitation. Of course, he didn't dare to delay and quickly followed.
When he arrived, he found that this place was very different from the outside world. There were pavilions and terraces inside. He walked along the long passage to a square platform that was a thousand feet wide. This platform seemed to be at the center of the lotus pond.
On the surface of the lake behind the platform, there was a large patch of green lotus leaves, which was at least three hectares in size. There were pink lotus flowers blooming all over the lotus leaves. Only the green lotus leaves flashed with a trace of five-colored light.
Yi Tian didn't stop walking, but he secretly condensed an eye technique in his eyes and carefully stared at that place. There was a five-colored golden lotus flower in the light. There were about 15 petals on the flower bud. They were red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.
Yi Tian carefully looked at it and had an idea. The petals of the Five Color Golden Lotus grew according to the number of the five elements. With his current state of harmonizing the five elements, it would be best to take one of the five petals. However, this was only the ideal state.
Everyone here was here for the treasures. At most, he would be participating in the martial arts competition. According to Liao Chen's introduction, this conference was mainly for the literary test. At least two-thirds of the petals would be used in the literary test.
His actions couldn't be hidden from Liao Chen's divine sense. After three breaths, he sent a voice transmission. "Junior Martial Brother Yi seems to be interested in the Five Color Golden Lotus."
Yi Tian replied, "Indeed. This is the first time I've seen such a treasure. Of course I want it." He had originally come here for this item. His unscrupulous display of his true intentions caused Liao Chen, who was walking in front, to shake his head helplessly.
He then said, "In truth, the most precious part of the Five Color Golden Lotus is the lotus seed. If you can find a place with a super spirit vein and plant it, it will quickly grow. It can even restore spirit veins that have been damaged by demonic energy..
"To think that it has such a miraculous use," Yi Tian's face couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration. But then he turned his face and replied, "It's a pity that this item will only be given to the winner of the theory examination as a reward. I can't do anything about it."
Hearing this, Liao Chen turned and smiled at Yi Tian. Then he sent a voice transmission again. "Junior Martial Brother Yi, the Shenguan Temple already owes you a great favor when you escorted the Soul Snatching Soul. I have nothing to repay you for your help this time. If you can get first place in the literary test, the lotus seed will be given to you. "
Yi Tian looked at Liao Chen in surprise. He thought he would say that at most, he would give the petals to him. He didn't expect him to boast that he could get first place.
Seeing his own suspicious expression, Liao Chen smiled and didn't say anything else.
Soon, everyone was brought to the platform in the center of the lake. Everyone sat in their assigned seats. People like Liao Chen who held the invitation card naturally had a fixed seat. Yi Tian was a non-staff member, so he could only sit behind Liao Chen.
After sitting down, he looked carefully. There were about 50 people in total. Only seven of them were Tantric monks. Other than the leader, Kong Yun, Kong Xing, and Monk Liao Xing, who he had fought last time, were also present.
As for the remaining three people, they seemed to be preparing to take part in the written test. Thus, Yi Tian was certain that the participants of the martial arts competition would be from the Tantra Sect.
Soon, the host, Liao Yuan, walked up and said in a deep voice, "The Shixin Dharma Assembly will now begin. First, it will be the martial competition. Based on the previous ranking, you can challenge anyone you want. However, the person who accepts the challenge will be given a bye for two rounds to show fairness."
After saying this, the monks present all bowed and said yes. Yi Tian hurriedly sent a voice transmission. "Senior Martial Brother Liao Chen, what was your ranking in the martial competition last time?"
Liao Chen gestured with his hand. Then his lips moved as he sent a voice transmission. Behind him, Yi Tian shook his head. He didn't expect the Shenguan Temple to be fifth in the martial competition. However, Liao Xing's last sentence stunned him. Liao Xing's Jinguang Temple was sixth. Needless to say, they had been prepared for the sneak attack in the forbidden area last time.
Furthermore, it was obvious that they would take advantage of the situation to attack him and Liao Chen.
If the person who was challenged lost, they would exchange their ranking with the challenger. The winner would be exempted from the challenge. As for the person who lost, they weren't so lucky. Thus, everyone valued their current ranking and wouldn't fight easily.
Yi Tian learned that the first place in the martial competition was Jiaxiu Temple, and the second place was Ming Lun Temple. As for the third, fourth, and fifth places, they were all branches of Jiaxiu Temple. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding that they wouldn't casually challenge each other to avoid giving others an opportunity to take advantage of.
Thus, Yi Tian was troubled. If he wanted to climb up, he could only challenge the people of Ming Lun Temple. As for the people of Jinguang Temple, Liao Xing was eyeing him covetously.
After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission to Liao Chen to briefly explain his plan. Unexpectedly, Liao Chen only replied indifferently, "The martial competition is all thanks to Junior Brother Yi. As for how you do it, that's your business. I won't interfere."
With Liao Chen's declaration, Yi Tian knew what was going on. Naturally, he felt less restrained and more relaxed in his movements.
Monk Kong Yun said, "Since that's the case, Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, please begin. As usual, let's start with the lowest ranking. Although fists and kicks have no eyes, there has never been a death or injury in the Shixin Dharma Assembly. It's better for everyone to not overdo it. "
When everyone heard this, they naturally agreed. Then, the disciples of the sects who were ranked at the bottom began to come out to challenge them.
Although Yi Tian, who was sitting behind Liao Chen, had changed his appearance to that of Ku Toutuo, there were at least two people who didn't avoid looking at him provocatively. Feeling deeply helpless, he secretly thought about how to establish his authority.
