Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Finding a Taoist Couple in the Grand Competition? You're a Freaking Genius!_1
"Huh? He really established his foundation?" Lu Jingtian stroked his beard, "Strange, very strange. It seems quite solid, not like a rush job. Brother Mo, you really put a lot of effort into this disciple."
In his view, it must be something Mo Jiuzhou did.
With Qin Changqing's aptitude, it should be impossible for him to establish his foundation in just thirty years.
Mo Jiuzhou just laughed and remained silent.
Everyone's words naturally reached Liu Mengxian's ears as well.
She turned her gaze towards Qin Changqing.
"Hmm?"
Liu Mengxian's delicate brows furrowed slightly as if she discovered something truly surprising, even shocking.
"Sect Leader, can we begin now?" At this time, an elder approached her for instructions.
Liu Mengxian retracted her gaze and gave a faint nod, "Begin."
A heavy voice echoed across the entire square.
The elder in charge of the Sect's Grand Competition walked up to everyone and announced aloud the rules of this competition.
The contest would take place within the Tianheng Secret Realm. Each disciple would receive a life token upon entering the realm, which would bind their soul's aura to the realm, recording points and serving as a signal for help if needed.
The main way to earn points was by hunting the demonic beasts inside. Upon gaining points, the token would automatically record them and display them on a leaderboard outside the realm.
Of course, the main method wasn't the only method. Since it was a competition, they naturally wouldn't oppose contests between each other.
If two disciples fought, the loser's token points would be accumulated by the winner, and then the loser would be eliminated.
The competition would end after one month.
They were prohibited from bringing any elixirs, Fu Lu, or other external aids, and the weapons would be provided by the sect.
When the rules were finished, Liu Mengxian finally spoke up.
Her cold and majestic voice entered every disciple's ears.
"All of you have made it through layer upon layer of selections to enter the Lingxiao Sect, as you are all extraordinary talents. Today, I hope that you will all do your best and use all your strength to face this assessment. The top one hundred performers can receive a medium-grade Magical Tool. The top fifty can receive a high-grade Magical Tool. The top thirty can receive a high-grade Magical Tool and be allowed to choose a Mysterious tier cultivation skill from the lineage hall."
"For the top ten, besides Magical Tools and cultivation skills, you can enter the Chuangong Hall to listen to my teachings. As for the top three, you can ask me questions individually, and I will personally guide you."
All the disciples' eyes lit up.
Especially those who were stuck at the Foundation Establishment peak and were about to condense their Golden Elixir were extremely excited.
Even their own masters would admire the teachings and guidance of a Deifying Stage expert, who might even be at the Refining Void Realm.
"Then, I wish you good luck."
After Liu Mengxian finished speaking, the elder in charge of the competition drummed up his spiritual qi and shouted:
"The Sect's Grand Competition begins!"
Following the command, every disciple who received a token vanished from the sect's square.
Whoosh!
Qin Changqing only felt that his vision blurred for a moment, and after a brief disorientation, he appeared in another paradise-like place.
Blue sky, white clouds, surrounded by mountain ranges and dense forests, he could perceive a faint sense of danger from the woods not far away.
"So this is Tianheng Secret Realm."
Legend had it that Tianheng Secret Realm was originally a powerful person's inheritance place, which was later occupied by Lingxiao Sect and turned into a trial grounds for their disciples after everything inside was dug up.
If he were that powerful person, Qin Changqing thought he'd be so furious that he would flip his coffin.
He looked around, planning to explore the area.
He didn't see his second junior sister when he returned to the sect initially, and now his only goal was to meet excellent Taoist companions!
As for hunting demonic beasts, gaining points, and getting rewards?
Whoever loves it can go for it.
Despite the tempting rewards, Qin Changqing had no intentions for them.
"What do you think, who will get first place this time?"A series of water curtains appeared on the square like mirrors, reflecting the situation within the secret realm.
The twelve Peak Masters sat on the high platform, talking and laughing with each other.
They weren't in a hurry, as a month would pass in the blink of an eye.
"It's hard to say. There are a total of nine hundred and eighty-one contestants this time, and there are twenty-two who have reached the Foundation Establishment peak...Speaking of which, the highest cultivation base of Xuanyi Peak seems to be only at Tier 8 Foundation Establishment?"
Lu Jingtian deliberately mentioned this point and looked at Mo Jiuzhou with a smile, saying, "Brother Mo, it seems your lineage is about to be at the bottom again, huh?"
Mo Jiuzhou glanced at him indifferently and didn't bother to say much.
He thought to himself: As long as it's enough to lie down, who can do anything to me?
"That Qin Changqing...I noticed earlier that he seems a bit special, not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator."
As Mu Qingyun mentioned this, everyone's gaze fell on the water curtain not far away.
In a mirror, Qin Changqing's situation was perfectly captured.
"Oh, he bumped into someone, and that disciple...seems to be from Dan Peak."
Lu Jingtian smiled faintly, "Indeed, she is a disciple of my Dan Peak, but she is young and not very high in cultivation, only at Tier 3 Foundation Establishment. She is just here to gain some experience. However..."
He looked at Mo Jiuzhou with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Even if she is only Tier 3 Foundation Establishment, I'm afraid your greatest disciple will not be able to handle her either."
By the side, Liu Mengxian quietly focused her attention on that same mirror.
"Qin Changqing...his Foundation Establishment seems to be quite special, a bit like the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment my father mentioned back then. But his spiritual root is clearly not exceptional, how can he achieve such accomplishments?"
"Could it be that he encountered some sort of fortuitous event?"
Liu Mengxian stared at Qin Changqing, wanting to see his performance within the secret realm.
Tier 1 Foundation Establishment vs Tier 3 Foundation Establishment.
If it's true Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, there's not no chance of winning!
"They really bumped into each other!"
All the Peak Masters were spirited and engaged.
However, they were mostly just watching for fun.
Tier 1 Foundation Establishment fighting against Tier 3 Foundation Establishment? No magical tools and no elixirs to support, the chances of winning are too low!
"If he's smart enough, he should go around...huh?" Lu Jingtian's words hadn't finished when he saw Qin Changqing actually flying towards that female disciple on his own initiative.
Whoosh!
The sword light flashed by, and the speed was actually quite fast.
The female disciple from Dan Peak was also startled, thinking she was about to be ambushed by Qin Changqing. She was about to prepare for battle when Qin Changqing suddenly stopped again.
"Junior sister."
Qin Changqing, dressed in white robes and stepping on a flying sword, had a beautiful and handsome face like jade. He had an extraordinary temperament and greeted the woman with a polite bow, saying, "Junior sister, would you like to become my Taoist couple and explore the Great Dao together?"
Everyone: "???"
Not many people on the square were paying attention to Qin Changqing's situation.
After all, there were so many dazzling people participating in the competition this time.
But those Peak Masters were all staring at Qin Changqing.
Especially Lu Jingtian and Liu Mengxian.
The former wanted to mock Mo Jiuzhou heavily after Qin Changqing was eliminated, to vent his anger at the elixir being stolen back then.
As for the latter, she naturally wanted to ascertain Qin Changqing's true situation.
Although her cultivation was profound, she couldn't see through Qin Changqing's reality with just one glance.
However, at this moment, whether it was Lu Jingtian or Liu Mengxian, or the other Peak Masters, even Mo Jiuzhou, who knew Qin Changqing's character quite well, were all stunned.
"This kid..."
Mo Jiuzhou was both amused and speechless.
Going to the Sect's Grand Competition to find a Taoist couple, you are really a genius.
