On the screen wall, the ninth battle was being displayed.
This was a small grassland world. There were no obstructions, and it stretched as far as the eye could see.
This kind of environment was what sword cultivators liked the most.
This was because the sky was wide and flat enough for them to look down on others.
The situation was the same. In the small world, a sword cultivator from the Sword Sect whose name was not on the Yellow Board was using his flying sword and suppressing his opponent to his heart's content.
His name was Jun Xiuyuan. Among the six Nascent Soul sword cultivators sent by the Sword Sect this time, his strength was firmly ranked in the top three.
Although his name was not on the Yellow Board, his real combat strength was around the 70th position on the Yellow Board.
However, he did not cause any trouble after leaving the sect two or three times. Therefore, he was not on the Yellow Board, which measured battle results as an important factor.
In fact, although there were not many Nascent Soul cultivators who had the battle strength of a Yellow Board cultivator but were not on the board, there should be twenty to thirty of them in the seven regions of the human race.
Jun Xiuyuan's opponent was a spell cultivator from the Middle Heaven Region.
This was his first battle. His luck was not bad as he happened to encounter a small world suitable for sword cultivators.
Although this was only a saying that represented the pursuit of sword cultivators, from a side view, sword cultivators were indeed good at fighting spell cultivators.
The reason was very simple. Whether it was the attack range or the casting speed, if the difference in strength between the two was not big, the flying sword of a sword cultivator would be far superior to the spell of a spell cultivator.
Under such circumstances, a spell cultivator could only passively fight and fall into the rhythm of a sword cultivator.
In a battle of spells, the rhythm was undoubtedly the most important.
Just like the small ball games in his previous life, once one fell into the rhythm of another, it was not impossible to make a comeback, but it was indeed very difficult.
At this time, Jun Xiuyuan was at the limit of his attack range, controlling his natal sword, the Lisao Sword, to continuously attack the spell cultivator opposite him.
The spell cultivator opposite him complained incessantly in his heart.
When the two of them landed in this small world, they could see each other's position at a glance.
Then, the two of them attacked at the same time, one with a flying sword and the other with a spell.
However, how could a spell's flying speed be faster than a flying sword?
The two of them were separated by less than five miles. Jun Xiuyuan's flying sword flew four miles, while his spell only traveled one mile before colliding with each other.
After three such clashes, Jun Xiuyuan's flying sword was already pointing at his face.
Faced with the continuous attacks of the flying swords, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only continuously compress his defensive circle and continuously retreat.
How could he not know that the longer he defended, the more likely he would lose?
However, the problem was that if he wanted to switch from offense to defense, he had to temporarily break away from the flying sword's lock and buy himself some time to make the first move.
However, the Grassland World's terrain was flat and did not give him any room to maneuver.
Just like that, this Middle Heaven Domain cultivator could only watch as he slowly died.
Towards the end of the fight, the spell cultivator who had almost given up on himself could only lament in his heart, "This isn't the fault of the battle, it's just bad luck. Whatever, I'll hold on for a while longer. I'll just treat it as using up more of his spiritual energy."
…
Only ten people were allowed to participate in the dojo competition from each region. However, there were a total of seventy people from the seven regions combined.
These seventy people were all outstanding Nascent Soul cultivators of their respective domains, and their strength had reached the pinnacle.
Every battle would not end in a short period of time. Coupled with the rest time, one could imagine that it would definitely be a protracted battle.
Only cultivators who used years as a unit of measurement would have the leisure to watch the entire competition without missing anything.
In the Grassland World.
After this battle lasted for an hour, it was finally settled.
Under the continuous attacks of Jun Xiuyuan's flying sword, he found the flaw of the Middle Heaven Domain spell cultivator and directly slashed the latter's neck.
In the next moment, the sky turned upside down and the scene changed. The two of them left the Grassland World together and appeared outside the Mountain Sea Pillar.
"The Eastern Region wins the ninth battle." Monarch Qing Mei stood in front of the two of them and announced loudly. Then, he said to Jun Xiuyuan, "You have four hours to rest."
The cultivators in front of the screen immediately let out a sigh.
Some were cheering for Jun Xiuyuan's victory. These were the people of the Eastern Region.
Some were sighing. These were naturally the cultivators of the Middle Heaven Domain.
There was also a large group of people who didn't mind watching the show and cheering.
.....
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.
Heavenly Secrets Temple.
The Water Moon Temple master looked at the tightly shut Karma Tower again and was about to turn and leave.
In the next moment, her footsteps paused.
This was because the Karma Tower, which looked like an inverted bamboo shoot, suddenly rippled with layers of eaves.
"He's coming out?" The Water Moon Temple master was slightly shocked.
Lin Yao, on the other hand, looked relieved.
The light flickered and a Daoist figure appeared in front of the two of them.
The person standing there had a handsome face and powerful eyes, but his face was pale and haggard.
"Young Master Lu!" Lin Yao's eyes lit up. She looked at Lu Qingshan, who seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to before he entered the tower. She was worried.
"Thank you for your help, Water Moon Temple master." Lu Qingshan saw that the Water Moon Temple master was in front of him and hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks.
"You're not disturbed by your Inner Demons. Your will is quite firm …" The Water Moon Temple master and Lu Qingshan spoke at almost the same time.
Then, the middle-aged Daoist nun paused.
Her eyes narrowed. She suppressed the astonishment in her heart and asked, "You've gained something from the Karma Tower?"
Since he was indebted to her, Lu Qingshan did not hide anything. "The True Meaning of Karma has broken through to the Unity realm."
The Water Moon Temple master was bewildered. She put on a stern face and pretended to be serious. She asked again, "I seem to have sensed that the moment you entered the Karma Tower, the tower was filled with killing intent?"
"Those evil elephants wanted to kill me." Lu Qingshan nodded, indicating that the Water Moon Temple master's perception was not wrong. "So I killed them all."
Lu Qingshan spoke matter-of-factly.
The Water Moon Temple master could only suppress the anger in her heart to maintain the tone of a senior in front of a junior and her disciple. "What I mean is, if that's the case, how did you leave the Karma Tower and comprehend the True Meaning of Karma?"
Lu Qingshan did not understand what the Water Moon Temple master meant. He said blankly, "Of course I killed my way out."
Killed his way out?
The Water Moon Temple master was silent. She did not speak for a long time.
Lu Qingshan saw the strange reaction of the Water Moon Temple master and wanted to ask her.
But after all, she was a major cultivator of another sect. The Karma Tower was also the sacred ground of the Tian Ji Temple. He was afraid that it would involve some secrets. Thus, he did not ask too much. Thus, he could only wait silently.
He did not know that ever since the Tian Ji Temple built the Karma Tower, in the tens of thousands of years of records, there had never been a single person who obtained karma through the power refinement technique.
After a moment of strange silence, Lin Yao suddenly thought of something. She exclaimed to Lu Qingshan, "The Daoist Competition!"
Lu Qingshan, who had been isolated from the world for nine months, was naturally confused.
Lin Yao was anxious. She hurriedly organized her words and explained the Daoist Competition as quickly as possible, including the terrible situation of the Eastern Region.
"The other six regions joined forces to ostracize the Eastern Region?" Lu Qingshan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
He was very familiar with the Snail Daoist Arena.
Because in his previous life, he, who was unable to enter the Sword Sect, grew up in the Snail Daoist Arena.
That was the place where many high-level players started out.
Thus, he knew the value of the Snail Daoist Arena.
If he remembered correctly, the Snail Daoist Arena in his previous life ended up in the Middle Spirit Region.
This caused the players from the other regions to spend a lot of money to use the Inter-region Teleportation Formation to go to the Middle Spirit Region.
The players from the Middle Spirit Region were proud of their success and called themselves the chosen ones. Apart from the Middle Spirit Region, the players from the Middle Spirit Region had a lot of complaints. They all clicked on the forum and greeted the game designer.
Who would have thought that behind the final location of the Snail Daoist Arena, there was such a competition?
What was even more unexpected was that the Eastern Region was defeated by such a dirty trick.
"How long has it been since the Daoist Competition started?" Lu Qingshan hurriedly asked.
"It should have started half a day ago," Lin Yao thought for a moment and quickly replied.
"Half a day …" Lu Qingshan calculated in his mind.
Although the Heavenly Secrets Temple was quite far from Chang 'an City, the two were in the same region.
In addition, Chang 'an was the largest city of the human race and was the central hub of the Da Xia Kingdom's Teleportation Formation. It could be said to be "convenient". If he was fast, he should be able to make it.
"Water Moon Temple Lord, the situation in the Eastern Region of the Daoist Arena is not good. As a disciple of the Sword Sect, so …" Lu Qingshan hurriedly bid farewell to the Water Moon Temple Lord.
It was because he knew the importance of the Snail Daoist Arena that he really hoped to keep it in the Eastern Region.
Lu Qingshan also understood that without him, the Eastern Region would have no hope of winning the Daoist Arena Competition.
Firstly, it was because in his previous life, the final winner of the Daoist Arena Competition was not the Eastern Region, but the Middle Spirit Region.
Secondly, the Eastern Region was facing the siege of the other six regions and was alone.
Thirdly, it was because Ji Chuan was no longer there!
"No need for formalities. Hurry up and set off." Lu Qingshan was only halfway through his sentence when the Water Moon Temple Lord interrupted him. "You can use the Heavenly Secrets Temple's Teleportation Formation to reach Big Dipper City, a city under the Heavenly Secrets Temple. This will save you a lot of time."
She was actually more worried than Lu Qingshan that he would not be able to attend the Daoist Arena Competition.
"Thank you, Water Moon Temple Lord," Lu Qingshan said gratefully.
The Water Moon Temple Lord's heart moved. A beam of spiritual light enveloped Lu Qingshan's body.
Then, the spiritual light flashed and Lu Qingshan disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already at the Heavenly Secrets Temple's Teleportation Formation.
This was the Water Moon Temple Lord's Teleportation Spirit Art.
Not only did she temporarily open her Sect's Teleportation Formation to Lu Qingshan, but she even personally sent him on his way.
Under the guidance of the Heavenly Secrets Temple's disciples, he stepped into the Teleportation Formation and reached Big Dipper City.
Then, he flew on his sword to the nearest city in the Da Xia Kingdom. From there, he would be able to reach Chang 'an through the Teleportation Formation a few times.
.....
After sending Lu Qingshan out of the Heavenly Secrets Temple, the Water Moon Temple Lord's heart moved.
Layers of ripples appeared on the Karma Tower, and a narrow gap appeared.
She leaped inside and surveyed her surroundings.
Inside the gloomy building, the walls, which were made of special materials, were filled with fragmentary sword marks.
These were the marks left behind by the scattered sword qi.
The Spirit Cultivators of the Heavenly Secrets Temple did not have the means to use sword qi.
The evidence was right in front of her. Even if she found it hard to believe, she had to accept this fact — Lu Qingshan had killed his way out of the Karma Tower.
She left the Karma Tower in a daze.
Seeing the Water Moon Temple Lord enter the tower and leave so quickly, Lin Yao could not help but ask, "Master, what are you doing?"
"I want to see how this kid destroyed the evil sign and comprehended the True Meaning of Karma," the Water Moon Temple Lord said calmly.
"Didn't Young Master Lu say that he killed his way out?" Lin Yao was puzzled. She did not understand why her master would do something so superfluous. After a breath, she suddenly reacted. "Master, you don't dare to believe it, so you entered the tower to verify it?"
"That's right. Killing his way out of the Karma Tower is something I've never heard of before. How can I believe it so easily?" This time, the Water Moon Temple Lord did not pretend to be calm. She admitted it frankly.
After a pause, she said faintly, "I've even said that this kid has the ability to create the True Meaning of Karma for himself. I didn't expect it to come true …"
"Sword Art Karma. As expected of a Sword Cultivator who has no regrets." The Water Moon Temple Lord sighed. "A Sword Cultivator's thinking is not something that can be measured by ordinary people."
Lin Yao blinked her eyes and chuckled, "Master, I feel that before this, those who gained enlightenment in the Karma Tower were all Spirit Cultivators because of the Heart Refinement Technique. Perhaps it was because the people who entered the tower were all Spirit Cultivators.
Cultivating the heart is a thought process that only Spirit Cultivators have. It's also a path that suits Spirit Cultivators. "
"Perhaps." The Water Moon Temple Lord was uncertain.
"However." Although Lin Yao was happy that Lu Qingshan had gained something from the Karma Tower, she was still worried. "Can he make it in time for the dojo competition?"
"The dojo competition has only started half a day ago. With the speed of a Sword Cultivator, he should be able to make it in time." The Water Moon Temple Lord nodded and then shook her head. "However, what's the use of making it in time?"
"Huh?"
"No matter how outstanding he is, he's only a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Can he defeat all the Nascent Soul Cultivators from the other six regions by himself?" The Water Moon Temple Lord said softly.
"It's impossible for others, but not for him …" Lin Yao repeated what she had said earlier.
"It should be … impossible?" This time, the Water Moon Temple Lord was not as certain as before.
.....
The Heart-Nourishing Platform.
"The eleventh battle, the Middle Spirit Region wins."
A Sword Cultivator in green robes walked back to the Eastern Region Cultivators unwillingly. He said to Xi Xiang in shame, "Uncle-Master, I'm incompetent …"
Xi Xiang's face was calm and there was no trace of anger. He even took the initiative to comfort the defeated disciple.
He looked back at the people he had brought with him.
There were only two people left who had not participated in the competition.
Only eleven battles had ended, less than 20% of the total number of battles, and eight people from the Eastern Region had already been eliminated …
At this time, even the spectating cultivators could see that there was an undercurrent of turbulence in this dojo competition.
There was no other reason other than the fact that the Eastern Region was being targeted too obviously.
The Eastern Region Cultivators were all filled with righteous indignation.
However, compared to the beneficiaries of the other six regions, their voices were too insignificant.
This was the meaning of an alliance. The law could not punish the majority.
"The next battle, Xue Hanfeng, you will take the initiative to challenge him.
You are the most powerful person among the ten from the Eastern Region. With your strength, you can easily win this battle.
Moreover, even among all the cultivators, only a few people can win against you.
These people must be the pillars of their respective regions. They won't be willing to let their own strong cultivators fight so early. "
Xi Xiang's eyes shone brightly. He said to Xue Hanfeng, "After all, there are more than fifty battles left. If you fight too early, you won't be able to last until the end. It's like giving away a trump card.
Under these circumstances, they won't send anyone to challenge you.
When the time comes, you will be free to choose your opponent. You just have to target the cultivators from the Middle Region and eliminate as many as you can. "
"It's a foregone conclusion that the Eastern Region will be the first to be eliminated. Once we leave, the next battle will be between the other six regions.
I think the other five regions besides the Middle Region will be happy to see us target the Middle Region. "
"The Middle Region is the leader of the Six Territory Alliance. Even if the Sword Sect loses, we will take a bite out of them." Xi Xiang said fiercely.
It was obvious that he was not as calm as he looked.
"I understand, Martial Uncle." Xue Hanfeng's eyes flashed coldly. The anger in his heart was not much weaker than Xi Xiang's.
It was like a person being attacked by a group of people. You can't beat them, but if you accept your fate, they will definitely bully you again next time.
However, if you clenched your teeth and endured the pain while being beaten up, stared at the leader and fought back, and forcibly knocked out a tooth, then no matter how badly you were beaten this time, the next time someone wanted to make a move on you, they would have to think twice about it.
You can't take a loss for nothing.
This was the Sword Sect's way of survival in the cultivation world.
