Chapter 637: Xian Qin Military Rank Conference Begins
Time passed day by day, and the March 1st Shuiyun Sect's Ascension Conference was getting closer and closer. More and more guests came here, but the guests here were just casual cultivators from the three states of Gun, Jing, and Lu, or disciples from those small sects.
And most of them were foundation-building disciples. In addition to Yu Zecheng and others, there were four friends brought by Wang Shuyuan, and only a few dozen people came to support and congratulate. Not to mention the Yuanying Zhenjun, there was no heavyweight at all.
There was no news from the other four sects in Xiling and the other three alliances in Gunzhou. It seemed that they had to wait until the day of the Ascension Conference to come here together. Maybe the Ascension Conference might be the Shuiyun Sect's extermination conference.
Bai Hexi suddenly heard the news more than ten days ago. There was no sign of him in the sect at all. No one knew what he had done and he disappeared without a trace.
Liu Shiyun and Feng Lingjing, who Yu Zecheng was most concerned about, never showed up. Yu Zecheng had guessed countless times in his mind, what should he say if he saw Liu Shiyun, what should he say if he saw Feng Lingjing, and what should he do if both of them were here.
However, he had imagined thousands of reunions and calculated countless times, but none of them came true. Neither Liu Shiyun nor Feng Lingjing came back, and they did not show up until the first day of March when the conference began.
One day before the conference began, Bai Hexi returned. He did not come back alone. The heads of the four alliances of Jinyanmen, Yuanzhu Sect, Yunxiu Sect, and Ziyumen all came here with him. The elites of the five sects gathered together and all supported Shuiyun Sect's promotion.
Everyone laughed and sang here, and there was no trace of the previous contradictions. One by one, they all came here to congratulate Shuiyun Sect on its great achievements and becoming one of the middle sects.
It seems that Bai Hexi used these ten days to wander between the alliances of various sects, dispelled their concerns, and re-formed the five sects of Xiling into a new alliance.
In fact, there is no big barrier between these five sects. After thousands of years of alliance, they have been in each other's hearts and supported each other to reach this day.
Now Shuiyun Sect is suddenly rich, and the others are blinded by jealousy and fear, and fall into that kind of imbalance. Bai Hexi started to work one by one, appealing to their emotions, moving their strength, promising benefits, reaching out to win them over, playing the friendship card, dividing and attacking the resistance elements, and the most fearful thing in the world is to be serious. Finally, the five sects united again and formed a stronger alliance.
With Bai Hexi's move, the crisis of the Ascension Conference was half dissipated. With the support of his allies, he was immediately confident.
The four sect leaders also came here with Beidou Zhenjun. It seems that he came here to support Shuiyun Sect's ascension. In addition to him, there are two Yuanying Zhenjun who appeared. They are all masters invited by Bai Hexi from other places to support him.
Yu Zecheng looked at Bai Hexi's arrangement. In fact, even if he didn't come here, Bai Hexi could arrange everything properly and spend this promotion meeting safely.
Bai Hexi could be promoted to the third-level warrior in the Xian Qin ruins in 20 years. How could he be a simple person? This promotion meeting was just a small test for him.
The third-level warrior, that's not easy. Xian Qin has 20 levels of nobility. Under the nobility, there are 12 levels of soldiers, namely:
The first-class slave soldiers, slave soldiers, cannon fodder among cannon fodder, have the lowest status, and are divided into seven levels. According to the meritorious rewards of Xian Qin, reaching the seventh-level slave soldiers will become the second-class servant soldiers.
The second-class servant soldiers, servant soldiers, are also divided into seven levels, and then the third-class miscellaneous soldiers, miscellaneous soldiers, are also divided into seven levels, but these miscellaneous soldiers can choose their own exclusive arms.
The fourth-class soldiers are the real soldiers of Xian Qin, the lowest level of power.
The fifth-class brave soldiers, brave soldiers. The elite children among the soldiers are also divided into seven levels, and Bai Hexi is the third-level warrior of this level.
The sixth-class soldiers are the warriors who have fought hundreds of battles among the brave soldiers, the seventh-class tiger guards, and the eighth-class squad leaders. When it comes to squad leaders, this squad leader does not mean the leader of five people, but the leader of the team, and begins to enter the leadership.
The Xian Qin ranks are extremely strict. Each level of promotion has strict merit requirements and restrictions. The merits required for each level of promotion are much more than the previous level, and sometimes even reach ten times. Things like Yu Zecheng, who took advantage of the dangers and defects of the Xian Qin ruins twice to make a lot of money, are rare since ancient times. Even so, Yu Zecheng has only reached the position of squad leader now.
Bai Hexi relies entirely on himself, without any possibility of taking shortcuts. He has earned merit points bit by bit in the past 20 years, and now he has reached the position of the fifth-level third-level warrior. Can he be a simple person? I don’t know how much he has suffered in the past 20 years, and how many great things he has done by controlling the Qin Terracotta Warriors. A small promotion meeting is not a problem for him at all.
In this Shuiyun Sect, there might be a Qin Warrior puppet of a combat cultivator of the Immortal Qin Yuanying level. Bai Hexi might borrow it for a day, and it might be one. He might not use it unless it is absolutely necessary, so he is not afraid of anyone else.
In addition, Yu Zecheng even doubted whether Bai Hexi was still a human being. Why did the Immortal Qin Cave Mansion Dharma Spirit treat him like this, allowing him to be the head of the sect outside and a third-level warrior in the Immortal Qin ruins.
Maybe he had died like Liu Xuanji back then, but the Cave Mansion Dharma Spirit needed a spokesperson outside, or for other purposes, so Bai Hexi always thought that he was still a human being, still Bai Hexi.
Of course, these are just guesses. Whether it is possible or not, there is no basis at all. In fact, Yu Zecheng does not want to know what Bai Hexi's current state is, nor does he want to study it. No matter whether he is a human or a ghost, he is still Bai Hexi, the elder brother Bai who helped him in the past. As a man, you should be happy to repay kindness and revenge.
On the first day of March, the almanac says: it is suitable for marriage, praying for blessings, seeking heirs, traveling, fire, demolition, construction, groundbreaking, beam raising, opening, and population increase.
Taboo: opening the market, trading, signing a contract, hanging a plaque, setting up a bed, moving into a house, migrating, planting, cutting wood, burial, breaking ground, removing mourning clothes, and wearing mourning clothes.
The God of Fortune is in the east, which is auspicious.
The Shuiyun Sect Shengmen Conference was officially held. On the Tianlan River, on the floating island of the Shuiyun Sect, a ten-mile stone platform was built as the venue to officially start the conference.
After choosing an auspicious time, the host and the guests took their seats, the immortal music sounded, the drums and music rang out, the cannons fired, and the meeting began slowly and unsteadily.
When the meeting started today, guests came to congratulate one after another, but everyone was waiting. Sure enough, as soon as the time came, the sky was filled with rolling clouds, and the sky was filled with thousands of sword lights and precious lights. The flags were waving, and the shadows of the sky even blocked the sky.
A voice resounding through the heavens and the earth rang out:
"Miaohua Sect, the seven sects of the Chenlong Xiuxian Alliance, the six sects of the Huanhai Liuhe Association, and the three religions of Donglai, come to congratulate."
The last word of congratulations was shouted by thousands of people, and suddenly there was only one voice in the sky:
"Congratulations..."
At this point, all the people from the five sects of Xiling changed their colors, and the momentum was huge. Moreover, the guests from Miaohua Sect actually came here with them, and the attitude of Miaohua Sect can be seen.
Yu Zecheng and others were watching with a smile. There were many people, but most of them were Qi Refining disciples. There were only more than 200 foundation-building cultivators and only 33 Jindan Zhenren. The only thing that made people afraid was that the twelve Yuanying Zhenjun led the way.
In this Gunzhou, all the left-handed sects were left-handed. If there were four or five Jindan Zhenren in the sect, it would be a powerful sect. According to the original calculation of the five sects in Xiling, the other party would have seven Yuanying Zhenjun this time, but who knew that there would be five more.
Among these twelve Yuanying Zhenjun, some were the ancestors supported by the three major alliances, Chenlong Xiuxian Alliance, Huanhai Liuhe Association, and Donglai Three Religions, and some were friends invited by these ancestors from all over the place to help them.
Here, Songquan Zhenjun, Yunfan Zhenjun, Beidou Zhenjun, and the two Yuanying Zhenjuns responded together:
"Everyone who comes is a guest, please come in..."
The word "come in" resounded through the sky, continuously, and opposed the word "congratulation", the two sounds collided and resounded through the sky.
As soon as the two sides met, they started this confrontation, full of gunpowder.
After a while, both sides shut up and were all shocked. Although it was twelve to five, none of the Yuanying Zhenjun from the three sects was willing to fight with the cultivators of the same level for that little offering. Many people came to show their support, but it was difficult for them to help.
Even the Yuanying from the three alliance sects had hatred for each other. This time they had no choice but to unite together, otherwise they would have fought long ago.
Shuiyun Sect opened the mountain gate and began to welcome guests. The cultivators from the three alliances landed one after another, occupying half of the stone platform, with an aggressive momentum and ill intentions.
When these guests arrived, Bai Hexi waved his hand, and the ceremony continued. The Yuanying Zhenjun who came here took their seats one by one, and the Jindan Zhenren did the same.
Among them, the most honored guests were the guests from Miaohua Sect, but this time Miaohua Sect only had two foundation-building cultivators. They said nothing and their faces were cold. Arriving here with the three alliances, the attitude of Miaohua Sect is self-evident.
With such a strong support, the three alliances are very aggressive and watch Shuiyun Sect perform the ceremony.
Shuiyun Sect, under the leadership of Bai Hexi, began the ceremony according to the rules of the traditional sects of cultivating immortals.
Kneeling to thank the ancestors, worshipping the ancestral hall, inviting the gods, setting off firecrackers, composing immortal music, lion dance, and other procedures, one by one.
This is not the key. The most important step is one of the steps, burning the notice of promotion issued by the Buyan Sect to worship the ancestors. Before burning, they will ask if anyone opposes the promotion. In the past, all those who block the promotion will stop here. The light one will lose the face of the promotion sect and snatch the notice of promotion. The promotion ceremony will be in vain. The heavy one will make a big move and even lead to the extinction of the sect.
Finally, it has come to this step. Everyone is waiting to see. It has finally started. This is related to whether Shuiyun Sect can successfully promote and become one of the middle sects.
