Chapter 132: Cross-cutting
One day later...
Early in the morning, Changqing and other disciples were taken away by Elder Yi to an unknown place.
This time the destination was no longer the Chiyun Peak Square where the sect master was, but instead flew towards the back mountain of the sect.
The sect's back mountain is a large forest, which is mainly used to raise spiritual beasts and cultivate spiritual medicines. There are many formations. It is usually taken care of by the elders, and disciples are rarely allowed to set foot here. This is Changqing's first time here.
There are hundred-meter-high trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, and many magical animals appear in the forest from time to time.
The cloud stopped in front of a mountain wall, and then led everyone directly through it, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
There were no obstacles, as if the mountain wall did not exist. There was actually another world inside the mountain wall. There was a bright sun in the sky, and streams were rolling in the mountains. The birds and animals did not startle, but just stared with wide eyes and curiosity from a distance.
Perhaps seeing the confusion among the crowd, Elder Yi cleared his throat with pride:
"You may be curious! The strangeness of the mountain wall, the wonders inside the mountain, I wonder if you have ever heard of 'Lingxuan Mountain'?"
The disciples were full of questions, but Chang Qing, who had flipped through all the books on the Book Collection Peak, suddenly realized something and asked, "Is it the rumored Yuling Sect's sect-protecting artifact, the Lingxuan Mountain?"
Elder Yi nodded and said, "Yes, it is this treasure. This mountain is made of a large piece of [Xuan Yuan Magnetism], which can simulate all things. What you see are all simulated scenes! The competition site of this conference is also set here."
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and looking at the mountains, rivers, birds and animals around them, they all felt magical, thinking that these were not real creatures, but were all simulated.
The clouds stopped not far away, and Changqing looked around and saw that there was a staircase with thousands of steps forming around it, and many cushions were slowly forming around the staircase.
Chang Qing finally saw the actual process of Lingxuan Mountain condensing objects, which was truly amazing.
Elder Yi led everyone to find a place to sit. Since everyone in Luozhu Peak was a pharmacist, alchemist, etc. who were not good at fighting, not many people signed up, so they just waited quietly for the start.
Changqing touched the cushion he was sitting on, which felt so real that he was impressed by the power of the Taoist weapon.
Soon more and more people came, all of them were disciples of the Yuling Sect.
Another half a quarter of an hour passed, and the thousands of steps ahead were finally formed. The whole thing seemed to be paved with bluestone, flashing an inexplicable spiritual light. No one knew what the purpose of forming these steps was.
Not long after, several powerful auras were heard.
All the disciples of Qifeng Mountain were dressed in black and were led by the sect leader Wu Zhengyang, with high spirits.
Following them came Long Yin Gu, who were dressed in white and mysterious clothes, with an ethereal aura, and were also led by the sect leader Bai Shan.
The two teams sat down, and the situation suddenly became green, black and white.
After a few breaths, the handsome uncle appeared on the top of the stairs at some point, looked at the three-color disciples below and said:
"You all came here for a spot in the Southern Region's Dao Discussion Conference. No wonder you are so excited. Yes, if I were a few hundred years younger, I would probably be even more excited than you!"
"After all, once you get a place in the Southern Region Conference, you will be recognized as a genius, and you will have countless benefits such as fame, resources, money, spirit stones, etc. I am quite tempted by what you said. Okay, let's not waste time. There are two rounds in this quota competition. The first round is the screening round, and the second round is the duel."
"The selection rules are simple. Those who climb to the top of the ladder are eligible to participate in the second round."
"The second round of competition is even simpler. There are no rules. The top 500 disciples will participate in the Southern Region Discussion Conference one year later."
"Okay, then this conference will begin..." Before the handsome uncle finished speaking, a ray of light flashed from his waist.
Then he heard the elder guarding the mountain gate say: "Master, there is another group of people outside the mountain gate. They said they want to see you for something important, and the leader of this group of people is also in the Yuanhua realm!"
The handsome uncle had a solemn expression on his face. Coming to pay respects at this critical moment clearly showed that he had no good intentions.
Looking at the other two sect leaders, the three of them nodded to each other and suddenly disappeared.
About an incense stick later, waves of spiritual energy came from the direction of the entrance again, as if many people had come in.
The three clan leaders showed up, but the difference was that there was an old man beside them. He was not tall, had gray hair and beard, and was wearing a red brocade robe. Although he looked old, the pressure he exuded showed that he was very strong.
The three sect leaders all had gloomy faces, but they seemed to have no choice but to bring people here.
The handsome uncle suppressed his anger and said to the people below: "Today, the members of the Xuanhuo clan will also compete for the quota with you."
After saying this, he waved his sleeves and thousands of seats appeared.
Upon hearing this, the disciples below were in an uproar.
"The Xuanhuo clan, aren't they very far away from here? Why would they come here to participate in the battle?"
"The Xuanhuo clan is participating in the battle for quotas among clans! Why are they participating together with the sect today? This is against the rules!"
"They are here to divide up our quota, we don't agree!!"
"If someone were to forcefully snatch the quota in this situation, where would the rules set by Feiyun Sect be placed!!"
Watching the disciples' constant protests, Chang Qing stared at the four figures above and sighed after a long time.
It was obvious that although the three sect leaders were unwilling, they acted as if they had to accept this fact.
"Quiet down!" the old man in red spoke, and his pressure spread, silencing the noisy disciples.
"We are here because something went wrong in the battle for family quotas. We have no choice but to participate in the battle for sect quotas. However, we have also obtained the permission of Feiyun Sect to come here. If you don't believe it, the three sect masters can testify to it."
Although the old man in red was explaining the reason, the corners of his mouth were raised. He did not look apologetic at all, but rather a little arrogant.
The three sect leaders had icy expressions on their faces, but since it was the order from their superiors, they could only bear it and nodded.
"Hmph! It's a complete waste to give the quota to you bunch of losers!!" A crisp voice came from not far away.
The disciples looked back and saw many red figures flying in from the entrance, at least thousands of them, and the sound came from there.
"So brave!!"
"What a crazy tone! Do you dare to come down and fight me in single combat?"
"Don't think that we won't hit you just because you're a woman!"
Many hot-tempered disciples were instantly ignited and clamored for a fight.
The red figures approached, and the leader was a young girl, also dressed in red, with red makeup, and her hair tied up in a ponytail. Even though the clothes covered her figure, her figure was still perfect. She looked quite capable.
The girl said with a hint of sarcasm on her face, "Isn't it? In many Dao Discussion Conferences, your three sects have always been ranked at the bottom, not even in the top 100. This is the truth, and you still have the nerve to show off your eloquence here!"
The disciples below suddenly became much quieter. Yes, the facts were there, and they wanted to refute but were powerless.
The faces of the three sect leaders turned somewhat grim, but the old man in red did not stop anything, wanting to deliberately embarrass the three sect leaders.
The girl became even more proud when she saw this, but she didn't say anything more. If she continued, the situation would become difficult to handle.
The girl found a cushion and sat down, very calmly, completely oblivious to the angry looks around her.
