Chapter 599: The Realm of Fusion (Part 1)

Zhongzhou Spiritual Domain, Qixuan Sect,

On the square, colorful flags fluttered, the atmosphere was warm and solemn, interweaving an indescribable sense of ritual. At this moment, the grand event of the True Disciple Competition held by the Zhengzheng Sect once every ten years.

The disciples of Qixuan Sect wore the uniform sect costumes, their sleeves fluttering, like a flowing painting, their eyes were like torches, and they were closely focused on the eighteen towering competition platforms, where wonderful battles were being staged.

The eighteen competition platforms, like stars dotted in the night sky, are independent but shining on each other. They are surrounded by countless top-grade spirit crystals, each of which exudes a soft and mysterious light, driving a powerful protective barrier, and flowing with dim light, which not only protects the disciples on the stage from accidental injuries, but also adds a bit of mystery and solemnity.

At this moment, on the eighteen competition platforms, there are two Yuanying disciples fighting fiercely. The duels are all huge, and the magic and martial arts complement each other, which are wonderful and dazzling.

In the viewing seats above the square, the main seat of the sect master, Lin Maoshan sat upright like a pine tree, his eyes deep and wise, as if he could see through everything in the world; on both sides, several peak masters in the sect were arranged in order. They were all masters of the transformation of gods, and the aura they exuded was majestic and solemn, making the atmosphere of the entire venue more solemn.

However, in this solemn atmosphere, there was a secret exchange that was unknown to the public.

Sect master Lin Maoshan, wearing a luxurious robe embroidered with the five elements totem, the robe was mainly gold, and occasionally embroidered with auspicious clouds of blue, red, yellow and black, symbolizing the highest realm of the five elements. The cuffs and hem of the robe were outlined with delicate rune patterns with complex golden silk threads, and the faint light of the five elements of spiritual power flowed faintly, demonstrating his profound cultivation and extraordinary status as the master of the sect.

His figure is as straight as a pine tree, with broad shoulders and thick back, revealing a kind of imposing aura without anger. His black hair is tied behind his head with a simple jade hairpin, which makes him look both solemn and free and easy. His face is well-defined, his nose is high, and there is a faint but deep smile on the corner of his mouth, as if everything in the world is under his control.

At this moment, Lin Maoshan's eyes are watching the battle on the ring. However, his mind is not completely immersed in the disciples' fight in front of him, but quietly separates a wisp of divine thought and has a silent conversation with the elders of the sect.

The seven peaks of the Qixuan Sect have all been replaced by a new generation of peak masters. The peak master of the Golden Peak, Zhao Tianchen, is the first on the right side of Lin Maoshan. He is tall, wearing a dark green suit that fits his body tightly, outlining the strong muscle lines, as steady as a mountain. His hair was like a waterfall, tied behind his head with a simple jade belt, and a few strands of hair on his forehead swayed gently in the wind, adding a bit of unruly atmosphere to him.

Su Hongxiu, on the other hand, had a different style. She wore a fiery red dress, the hem of which was light and elegant, jumping like a flame, which complemented her gentle yet resolute temperament. Su Hongxiu's skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, and there was always a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, but behind that smile was a toughness and wisdom that should not be underestimated. She practiced a fire-attributed technique, and her body exuded a warm and fiery breath from time to time.

Liu Yuqian, with a graceful figure, wore a light blue dress that swayed gently in the wind, like a fairy in the water, fresh and refined. Her long hair was like silk, gently rolled up, and a few strands of hair fell by her ears, adding a bit of softness to her. Liu Yuqian's eyes were like autumn water, bright and deep, revealing a sense of gentleness and intelligence. As a spiritual cultivator, she has water-attributed spiritual power flowing in her body, which makes her move like flowing clouds and water, agile and elegant, and full of elegance in every move.

Ji Hao, with a burly figure and muscular body, is wrapped in a black suit that looks like black iron, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression; his face is cold and his eyes are firm. He practices earth-attributed exercises, and his body exudes a heavy and steady aura, like the earth, giving people a solid support.

Xiao Qingyun, on the other hand, is dressed in white clothes that are more beautiful than snow, elegant and ethereal, like an immortal above the clouds, with a delicate face, clear eyes, and a gentle smile on the corners of his mouth, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

…

After hundreds of years, the original Qi-refining cultivators - Zhao Tianchen, Su Hongxiu, Liu Yuqian, Ji Hao, Xiao Qingyun, and Zhong Yuling, have now become spiritual cultivators.

Zhao Tianchen, who has the highest cultivation, has also entered the late stage of the Spiritualization Stage. He is only one step away from breaking through to the Void Refining Stage. He sits slightly below Lin Maoshan's right, with a calm and confident look between his eyebrows. Occasionally, he looks up at the arena, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Brother Lin, we have all advanced to the Spiritualization Stage, but our respect and longing for our Master are increasing day by day. Our Master is unwilling to show up in this competition? Have you asked him to show up?" Su Hongxiu asked with her mind, her voice soft and concerned, revealing her deep longing for her Master Li Mu.

"Yes! Brother Lin, we haven't had the chance to see our Master's true appearance for more than two hundred years, and we really miss him." Liu Yuqian also echoed with her mind, with a hint of barely perceptible sadness in her voice.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Maoshan's face, seeking answers.

After they were promoted to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, they knew that the ‘Master’ who taught them one-on-one was the Spiritual Transformation Avatar of Master Li Mu, and he did not personally guide them. However, the help given by Master Li Mu was undoubtedly the best.

The best elixirs, exclusive skills, protective spiritual treasures, and spiritual tools were all top-notch. This kindness, like spring breeze and rain, nourished the hearts of each of them, allowing them to go further and further on the road of cultivation.

After hundreds of years, they only received the master's love, but had no chance to see him. This was like a huge stone, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

Lin Maoshan looked at the expectant eyes of the crowd, with mixed feelings in his heart. Compared with his fellow brothers and sisters, he was fortunate to follow Li Mu and enter his cave treasure to practice, and even obtained his personal treasure-the Five Elements Spirit Ring, which helped him to survive the thunder tribulation and advance to the God of Transformation. No one cherished this master-disciple relationship more than him.

"Master, he has always disliked being disturbed by others. I haven't seen Master for a long time. For this grand competition, I went to Master's retreat to ask for instructions, but Master is in a critical moment of retreat and should not be disturbed." Lin Maoshan's mind gently rippled in the sea of ​​​​consciousness of everyone, with a trace of awe, explaining.

"Junior brother Lin, Master is in retreat? Is he retreating this time to impact the fusion realm?" Zhao Tianchen was slightly startled and asked with concern.

"I don't know about this either!" Lin Maoshan frowned and replied to everyone through telepathy: "However, Master has been seeking an opportunity to break through the fusion realm. This retreat is extremely serious, so we should not ask too much!"

Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and continued to focus on the ongoing competition.

As the competition progressed, the battles on the 18 arenas became more and more intense. For the status of true disciples, the Yuanying disciples showed what they had learned. The magic and martial arts complemented each other, making the entire square seem to be shrouded in a thick layer of spiritual energy.

Under the stage, countless sect disciples were fascinated and burst into cheers and exclamations from time to time.

Soon, the competition had reached the final stage.

In the final stage, two particularly eye-catching figures stood on two adjacent arenas. They were the two most outstanding Yuanying disciples of the Qixuan Sect in recent years-Zhao Wuji and Qin Jingfeng.

Zhao Wuji, dressed in a black robe, with a straight figure like a pine tree, deep eyes, holding a black heavy sword, exuding a heart-pounding pressure; he is good at heavy pressure swordsmanship, and his sword moves pull the gravity of heaven and earth, making it difficult for the opponent to move under the heavy pressure.

Qin Jingfeng, on the other hand, holds a slender spiritual sword named "Liuguang"; the sword body is crystal clear, as agile as flowing water, and the sword moves are like meteors that cut through the night sky, both beautiful and deadly; Qin Jingfeng is good at speed and agility, his swordsmanship is like dancing, light and elegant, but can release deadly killing blows inadvertently.

The two fell into a fierce confrontation at the beginning. Zhao Wuji's moves are full of power, making it difficult for Qin Jingfeng to deal with them.     While Qin Jingfeng dodges, Liuguang sword moves sometimes unload the force, sometimes go straight to the vital points, making him defensive, and sometimes like a venomous snake, rushing straight to Zhao Wuji's flaws.

The two of them fought back and forth, the swords flashed and the swords struck loudly. The whole square seemed to be attracted by the two's superb sword skills, watching intently, afraid of missing any details.

However, in this bustle and hustle and bustle, an unusual atmosphere quietly spread; this atmosphere was ancient and profound, as if it contained some unknown power, which made the elders of the sect present shudder.

On the stage, the faces of the sect leaders were all shuddering, and their consciousness swept towards the sect's Golden God Peak, which was the sect master's mansion and the sect's treasure house.

"Brother Lin, what's going on over there? There seems to be an unusual fluctuation. Could it be..." Su Hongxiu looked solemn. Her consciousness also captured the ancient and profound breath, and she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable worry in her heart.

Lin Maoshan frowned, concentrating on sensing the source of the breath. As the sect master, he knew more about the sect's treasure house than others. It not only stored countless treasures of the sect, but also the place where Master Li Mu was in seclusion.

"Don't worry, everyone. It's not that the treasure house was stolen. It's the place where Master was in seclusion. Maybe Master has gained something from this seclusion!" Lin Maoshan's words were like a magic needle that stabilized the originally panicked atmosphere.

"But, Junior Brother Lin, how could Master's seclusion have such strong fluctuations? This breath is ancient and profound, and contains some kind of truth of heaven and earth. Our cultivation is still shallow, and it is difficult to see the whole picture. It's really too weird. Master won't have any accidents!" Zhao Tianchen frowned slightly. Although he has entered the late stage of transformation, he still feels an inexplicable palpitation when facing this unknown breath.

Before Lin Maoshan responded, the ancient and profound aura suddenly intensified, as if some ancient power between heaven and earth was awakened, making the entire Qixuan Sect shrouded in an indescribable pressure.

Zhao Wuji and Qin Jingfeng on the ring were forced to stop fighting because of the interference of this power. They each put away their swords and looked towards the direction of Jinshen Peak with solemn expressions, obviously also feeling the unusual aura.

"What happened?"

"It's the sect treasury! No one broke into our treasury!"

"How is that possible? Didn't you see that the sect master and the elders are all watching! If someone broke into our treasury, how could they not react!"

"That's right! The sect's protective formation was set up by the supreme sect master himself. Outsiders can't break into the formation he set up, let alone the sect treasury that is even more heavily guarded!"

"What's going on! This force is so strong! It seems to come from the treasury!"

...

The disciples in the audience also stopped what they were doing, their eyes focused on the direction of Jinshen Peak, talking about it, with puzzled expressions.

"Disciples, there is no need to panic. This power is the vision produced by the master's retreat. He is reaching a higher realm. We only need to wait patiently and believe that the master will come out of seclusion safely." Lin Maoshan's voice Echoed over the square, with an unquestionable determination.

However, not everyone is as calm as Lin Maoshan. Some disciples with lower cultivation levels were frightened by the coercion of this force, and even experienced instability in their cultivation level. Their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling slightly, obviously unable to withstand the pressure of this force.

At this moment, a gentle force emitted from Lin Maoshan's body and enveloped the entire square. This power was like a spring breeze blowing on the face, making the disciples feel comfortable and at ease. They all looked at Lin Maoshan, their eyes full of gratitude and respect.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" the disciples said in unison, with a hint of trembling in their voices.

Lin Maoshan nodded slightly and said: "Don't be polite, everyone. The reason why our Qixuan Sect can stand still depends entirely on the protection and teachings of our master. Now that our master is in retreat to reach a higher realm, we must unite as one and protect the sect together." Door."

Under Lin Maoshan's comfort, the disciples' emotions gradually stabilized and they sat back down.

"The outcome is still undecided, let's continue!" Lin Maoshan ordered as he looked at the two Nascent Soul disciples who had stopped fighting.

"yes!"

Zhao Wuji and Qin Jingfeng nodded in agreement.

Following Lin Maoshan's signal, Zhao Wuji and Qin Jingfeng once again focused their attention on each other, and the atmosphere in the ring instantly became tense.

The surrounding disciples also waited with bated breath, their eyes fixed on these two outstanding disciples, looking forward to the more intense battle that would follow.

Although the game was interrupted for a period of time due to the interference of this force, the enthusiasm of the disciples did not diminish. They looked forward to the next game being more exciting.

In the direction of Mohegan Peak, the ancient and profound aura still persists, but as time goes by, it gradually becomes softer and more stable, as if some kind of power between heaven and earth has been controlled by people and is tending to ease.

Golden God Peak, a magical space within the sect's treasure house and the Five Elements Movement Formation.

Li Mu stood floating in the air, all the chaotic Dao bodies were displayed,

This magical space seems to be arbitrarily distorted by invisible hands, forming a series of dizzying illusions; the thick fog is shrouded and indescribable, which not only blocks the sight, but also seems to contain endless secrets; and the raging spiritual power Storms are even more wild and unruly. They are not only suffocatingly rich, but also carry destructive power that can destroy everything. They are like the chaos and frenzy at the beginning of the universe, running wildly.

However, beneath the violence and chaos of chaos, there is an indescribable order and harmony hidden. Li Mu is the core of maintaining this hidden order and harmony. Massive forces of chaos gather together. At this moment, in this In the chaotic space, he seemed to have become an isolated island. No matter how violent the storm outside was raging, his state of mind was as calm as an ancient well, unmoved. (End of chapter)
