Chapter 199: A Debate with Scholars at the Gathering of Heroes, Undercurrents Hidden in the Calm
On the periphery of Zuiyunhai, there is a group of floating islands.
Although it is just an island group, the overall area of the floating island group is actually about the same as a small continent.
It is a special place suspended above the sea of clouds.
Although the True Immortal Trial of Gu Yue True Immortal is only started once every hundred years.
But this does not mean that the only valuable things in Zuiyunhai are Gu Yue Cave.
You must know that because of the existence of Guyue Cave, there are many natural and earthly treasures that are difficult to find in Zhongzhou in Zuiyun Sea.
Some people even say that in addition to the inheritance of true immortals in Guyue Cave in Zuiyunhai, there are also many inheritances of immortals in other places.
After all, the True Immortal made many friends in Gu Yue, and his 'wine cellar' in the mortal world had attracted many immortal friends.
Although there are very few immortals descending to the mortal world now.
But in ancient times, the boundary between the mortal world and the fairy world was not so clear.
Many immortals still occasionally walk around the mortal world.
And these things that the immortals throw away casually, or the traces left in the mortal world on a whim, may bring about a rebirth of an ordinary mortal monk.
Therefore, Zuiyunhai attracted countless monks to come here to practice.
As the first stop for Zuiyun overseas, the floating island group is also a very valuable transit point for monks.
Naturally, it gradually flourished.
It is naturally not an easy task to establish order in such a mixed place.
After all, among the monks who want to enter Zuiyunhai, there are many disciples from major sects in Zhongzhou.
These disciples are generally arrogant and arrogant, and rarely take people outside Zhongzhou seriously.
Although Zuiyunhai is geographically within the scope of Zhongzhou.
But after passing through the Zuiyun Sea, there is the Southern China Continent.
Therefore, in the eyes of some Zhongzhou monks, Zuiyunhai is actually not much different from the wild land.
I really look down on the islanders here.
This was indeed the case for the monks who came to the Floating Islands in the early years. They simply did not take the people of the Floating Islands who had lived here for generations into consideration and drove them as they pleased.
But slowly, with the emergence of Guyue Cave, the floating islands came into more and more contact with the outside world.
As a result, many Zhongzhou sects also took a fancy to this former barbarian land.
Among the major forces in the floating island group today, there are all major sects in Zhongzhou.
In fact, it is not just the floating island group, there are also similar situations around many special cave heaven paradises in Zhongzhou.
After all, although Zhongzhou is big, there are not many good things that can be favored by top forces.
Naturally, we have to swarm the territory and occupy some good places in advance.
Qingyun Sect naturally has a supporting force on the floating island group, which is the floating Li family.
It is one of the four major families on the floating island group.
Of course, these four families are not the only ones on the entire floating island group.
It just means that these four families occupy the four largest islands in the center of the floating island group.
Surrounding these four islands, there are dozens of small islands, large and small.
There are also some immortal cultivating families or forces on these small islands.
And every time the True Immortal Trial is about to begin, it is the busiest day on the entire Floating Island.
Because on this day, the entire floating island will be filled with monks from all over the world.
As long as these monks can be entertained well, the floating island will gain a lot of benefits.
Therefore, everyone on the floating island attaches great importance to the year when the True Immortal Trial begins.
The floating island force supported by Wushen Mountain is Kongwumen.
At this time, Kongwumen was still busy, and the ‘Eight Extremes Immortal Boat’ from Wushen Mountain was seen hovering next to Kongwumen’s sect.
Some monks who had just joined the Kongwu Sect showed expressions of wonder when they saw this scene.
After all, they are all monks who have just started in the past few decades.
Although I could often see fairy boats traveling to and from the floating island before.
But we don’t see many of these ‘large fairy boats’ that resemble war castles.
It can even be said to be the first time we met.
However, compared to the immortal boat, what the monks of the Kongwu Sect are more concerned about at this time is actually the cocktail party being held on the immortal boat, called the Heroes Party.
On the Immortal Boat in Wushen Mountain, the current fairy boat is temporarily used as a gathering place for monks, and anyone can enter as long as they meet the conditions.
It's just that this condition is in vain for the big sect.
Generally, as long as they see the sect robes on the opponent's body, they will directly let them go without blocking them.
But for some casual cultivators and small sects, this reception is not so easy to enter.
This is true even for the affiliated forces of Wushen Mountain like Kongwumen.
First of all, this group of heroes will be set up for the monks who are preparing to participate in the True Immortal Trial this time.
Therefore, the conditions for entering the reception are similar to those for entering the True Immortal Trial.
One is under fifty years old, and the other is under the golden elixir stage.
Generally speaking, if you can complete the foundation building period before the age of fifty, you are considered to have good talent.
Of course, cultivation and age alone are not enough.
The biggest limitation of this cocktail party is actually the quality of foundation building.
Only those monks who have established a foundation in the sixth-grade tunnel or above are qualified to enter it.
This is very harsh for most casual cultivators.
After all, most casual cultivators need to work hard just to practice. In addition, they have no guidance from experts and lack of techniques that suit them.
As a result, their foundation building quality is often not very high.
And there are many casual cultivators who are not old enough to achieve the authentic quality.
Therefore, although casual cultivators can enter the annual group of heroes, the largest number of people here are not casual cultivators, but some geniuses from small sects who want to get close to the big sects.
In the fairy boat, Wushenshan led the team this time with their generation of true disciples, the eldest brother, Wei Qifeng.
Wei Qifeng looked at the geniuses from various sects gathered on the fairy boat at this time.
In a trance, he felt that he had become the first young genius of the contemporary era.
However, this feeling came and went quickly.
After a short trance, he came back to his senses.
After all, the group of heroes seemed to be organized by them, but in essence they just provided a venue.
There was no difference between those who were willing to participate in this group of heroes.
But this no difference was only for the ten major sects in Zhongzhou.
Disciples outside the ten major sects were relatively lower in status.
Then there were small sects that were not Zhongzhou sects, and finally there were casual cultivators.
Therefore, the entire venue was almost divided into four areas.
Among them, the disciples of the ten major sects had the least number of people present but the largest area.
In the core area of the fairy boat deck, the wine table of Wushen Mountain was arranged in the first place.
The remaining ten sects were arranged in order.
They were Qingyun Sect, Yuxu Mountain, Xiaoleiyin, Canghuo Valley, Mingyue Tower, Fangcaozhai, Donghaimen, Bailian Sect, and Lingyin Valley.
As the leader of the righteous way, Qingyun Sect had the least number of people this time, with only three people in total.
One of them was not a human, but a spirit beast.
It was not that Qingyun Sect did not like socializing, but that the previous few group meetings were full of malice towards Qingyun Sect.
It seemed that they felt that Qingyun Sect had occupied the first sect in Zhongzhou for too long.
Or they felt that the monks of Qingyun Sect were a huge obstacle for everyone in the True Immortal Trial.
Therefore, every time they came to the group meeting, many people would come to challenge the disciples of Qingyun Sect.
Some of these people were disciples of the other ten major sects.
Some were from some small sects.
Some are just casual cultivators who want to become famous in one fell swoop.
After all, there is no better way for casual cultivators to become famous than defeating a Qingyun Sect disciple.
If other sects were faced with this situation, they would either simply refuse or be more ruthless and directly stop these guys from trying to bother them.
But because of the sect's teachings, Qingyun Sect is generally relatively restrained in matters that are not about good and evil.
Therefore, even if they feel troublesome, they generally will not take heavy hands, and basically stop at a certain point.
But in this way, those who want to step on Qingyun Sect to get to the top will be even more unscrupulous.
After all, this is a risk-free, high-yield thing.
Anyone would want to come up and try it.
And the other ten great masters also want to use this opportunity to find out about the situation of this generation of Qingyun Sect disciples.
So they are also happy to see this situation.
Therefore, there is no intention to stop it at all.
In this way, after several boring experiences.
Qingyun Sect basically does not recommend that the disciples who will participate later participate in any group of heroes.
This also led to the fact that no one from Qingyun Sect had come to this gathering of heroes for two consecutive times.
But this time was different. After Yuxushan's persuasion, a few cultivators from Qingyun Sect actually came.
Although there were not many people, it was still a good sign.
"Brother Lu, what's the point of coming to such a boring place? Look at these guys around you. Don't look at them pretending to be decent now. When they enter the True Immortal Trial, they will definitely be more eager to eliminate us first."
"Compared to that, the guys from Yuxushan are much more pleasing to the eye. After all, they emphasize 'keeping the nature intact and not burdening the body with external things' and never play tricks. They will beat you if they are not happy with you."
"If you ask me, there is nothing to say to these guys. We will see the real thing in the True Immortal Trial."
The Meow King sat next to Lu Chen and spoke frankly.
And it did not hide its voice at all, and it fell into the ears of other cultivators nearby.
In this regard, some disciples from other sects around frowned, some had no expression, and some simply looked at King Wu Miao with fierce eyes.
It seemed that they thought this guy was too arrogant and really thought that Qingyun Sect was the best in the world.
In this regard, neither Lu Chen, who was beside King Wu Miao, nor Yi Hanqing, who was beside him, said much.
It seemed that they tacitly agreed with King Wu Miao's words.
After all, when they came in, they noticed that the atmosphere of this gathering of heroes seemed a little wrong.
In theory, the positions of the gathering of heroes are arranged equally.
But Wu Shenshan, for some reason, vaguely put himself in the first place.
This is undoubtedly a very bad signal.
After all, everyone is not a fool. Isn't Wu Shenshan telling everyone clearly that you want to challenge the position of the first sect in Zhongzhou?
Therefore, after arriving at the cocktail party, the disciples of several other sects all put on a look of watching a good show.
This is also the reason why King Wu Miao was a little unhappy.
No wonder Wu Shenshan insisted that their Qingyun Sect send people over. It seems that these guys are well prepared.
They are just waiting to show their talents at this gathering of heroes.
But where do these guys get the confidence to stay in the top position?
Could it be that among the true disciples of their generation, there is some kind of shocking monster?
There is no reason. If such a person really appeared, they should not have heard any news at all.
It is precisely because of such doubts that King Wu Miao chose to take the lead in attacking.
Drinking?
They did not come to the Heroes' Gathering to drink!
The people around them obviously wanted to make trouble, so there was no need for them to indulge these guys.
As for the provocation of the Wu Miao Wang, the senior brother of Wu Shen Mountain, Wei Qifeng, who was sitting in the front row, smiled and said: "It seems that the Wu Miao Daoyou of Qingyun Sect has a big misunderstanding about us."
"Misunderstanding?"
Wu Miao Wang stood up, crossed his arms, raised his chin and said: "I misunderstood you, what do you mean by deliberately arranging our position below you? Do you think that you Wu Shen Mountain reckless men can step on our Qingyun Sect?"
"Come on, come on, explain to me what misunderstanding means."
"You are doing these little tricks every day, can't you focus on cultivation?"
Seeing that Wu Miao Wang was so disrespectful, Wei Qifeng's mouth twitched slightly.
You must know that Qingyun Sect is the leader of the righteous way in Zhongzhou. No matter what the character of the disciples is, they will still consider the style of the immortal sect in public, and will not be as vulgar as Wu Miao Wang, who always speaks "sweet words".
Perhaps because of the scolding of Wu Miao Wang, a Wushen Mountain disciple stood up and said to Wu Miao Wang with a cold face: "Is this how you Qingyun Sect teaches disciples to insult other sects at will?"
Wu Miao Wang picked up the toothpick on the table and immediately put it in his mouth.
The cool look of the crazy spinning made Lu Chen and Yi Hanqing next to him feel that it deserved a fight at this time, and the hatred was full.
Wu Miao Wang seemed to be unaware of this and continued to attack crazily.
"Teach? Meow Master is not a human cultivator, what messy formalities should I follow."
"But you Wushen Mountain didn't teach you what self-knowledge is. Why do you think what Meow Master said is wrong?"
"Come on, come on, that's right, don't look at others, it's you, you kid, come down to Meow Master, and fight with Meow Master."
"Meow Master, I want to see what you are capable of, that you can actually stand up there and talk to Meow Master!"
Seeing that Wumiao Wang actually ordered him to fuck, the Wushen Mountain disciple was not angry, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
It was as if he had been waiting for Wumiao Wang to say this.
"Okay, then let me experience the style of your Qingyun Sect."
As he said, the Wushen Mountain disciple walked into the venue.
In response, the other sect disciples around him showed expressions of watching a good show.
And Wumiao Wang was not afraid of this.
Because after returning to Daliang Mountain, it is no longer the same as before!
Lu Chen looked at the Wushen Mountain disciple who accepted the challenge, and his eyes turned into lotus, as if he could see through his appearance and his essence.
However, Lu Chen only took a simple look and stopped paying attention to him.
Instead, he looked at the other Wushen Mountain disciples in the first place.
These Wushen Mountain disciples are not right.
At Lu Chen's feet, a small white dog that looks like a Chow Chow was also looking at the many Wushen Mountain disciples with a serious face.
"Brother Lu, the nine qi on those guys are not right, as if they were affected by something."
"This kind of influence is very subtle and can't be seen in the short term, so they themselves should not have noticed it."
"In addition to them, there are two other sects whose cultivators have some problems. You should be careful when the time comes."
Hearing the Di Ting Shen Mind transmission coming from his ears, Lu Chen nodded calmly.
In addition to Wushen Mountain, the other two sects that are not right are Canghuo Valley and Bailian Sect.
The former is a fire cultivation sect, and the latter is a weapon refining sect.
Ranked among the ten sects, it ranks at the bottom.
Although he had expected that there would be some big discoveries in this gathering of heroes.
But after the discovery, Lu Chen was still a little shocked.
Even the top ten sects in Zhongzhou were vaguely infiltrated by the evil.
Lu Chen didn't dare to think about the situation of other small sects.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately prepared to let Di Ting leave the main banquet and go outside for a walk.
Although the younger generation of disciples cannot represent the entire sect.
But don't forget that those who can participate in this True Immortal Trial are basically the true disciples of the sect, and they are the key training targets of each sect.
Even if not all of these people are controlled by the evil, as long as one or two appear.
When these people grow up in the future and enter the core areas of various sects.
It will undoubtedly have a terrifying impact on these sects.
After all, with the help of these rats hidden in the dark.
Other evils will undoubtedly be able to integrate into these sects faster.
Even in the end, they will be completely ignored.
No wonder, no wonder the corpse Pang Xiao in the Kangding Peak instance said that many monks who fought against the evil did not die at the hands of the evil.
But died at the hands of their most trusted "companions".
These guys are really omnipresent.
Just as Lu Chen was thinking about how many people in this gathering of heroes had been involved with the evil, either openly or secretly.
The King of Meow and the disciple of Wushen Mountain who challenged him came to the specially prepared dojo on the deck of the immortal boat outside and set up their positions.
Looking at the other party, Wu Miao Wang said arrogantly: "Boy, I hope you can be as good as you are at talking."
"Don't wait for me to fall down before I use my strength, that would be too boring."
In response, the Wushen Mountain monk said confidently: "It is said that the disciples of Qingyun Sect have outstanding character and natural Taoism, and all the disciples in the sect are outstanding."
"But I didn't expect that there would be a kitten in such a place. I really don't know how you convinced Qingyun Sect to keep a pet like you in the sect."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Miao Wang's eyes turned dangerous when he looked at him.
Because this kid said a word that Wu Miao Wang disliked the most.
Kitten?
Miao Ye is the king of beasts, a big brain tiger with white forehead and hanging eyes!
PS: I am busy during the Chinese New Year. Fat Tiger has to catch the train tomorrow, so I have been cleaning up for a day. I can only write one chapter today, and I will try to continue writing 10,000 chapters tomorrow.
