Chapter 1086: Parting Feelings
In the Xuanwei Cave, Xiao Mian was lying under the big locust tree, still laughing foolishly.
Weapon spirit!
Golden City!
Cave magic weapon!
Words flashed through Xiao Mian's mind, making him laugh foolishly for no reason...
Under the hill, Gui Hai and others pointed at Xiao Mian.
Xuancao looked at Xiao Mian with great concern, but didn't know what to do.
No wonder Xuancao was worried. It had been three days since Xiao Mian and others escaped from the Lei Peng Demon Mansion. During these three days, Xiao Mian had been laughing foolishly.
Suddenly sitting up, Xiao Mian laughed three times and then returned to normal.
Seeing that everyone under the hill was looking at him as if he were a monster, Xiao Mian touched his nose awkwardly and summoned everyone to come under the big locust tree.
"Well..., the weather is nice today!"
"..., as expected! Still not normal!"
"Xiao Mian! What kind of stimulation did you receive in the Lei Peng Demon Mansion?"
"Or did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"Brother! Are you okay?"
As soon as Xiao Mian opened his mouth, everyone started talking nonsense.
"Stop!" He yelled, interrupting everyone's questioning. Xiao Mian took a deep breath and said unhappily: "I'm normal! I'm not stimulated! I haven't been kicked in the head by a donkey! I'm just happy, isn't it okay? Ha! Ha! Ha... Hehe..."
"..."
"Alright! Alright! Let's get back to the point!" Xiao Mian stopped laughing so hard that he couldn't stand it, and talked about business: "Last time in the Lei Peng Demon Mansion, thanks to the favor of the little saint monk, Gui Hai, Tuoba and I have been in seclusion in the Golden City for three months. Is everyone okay?"
The so-called "three months" by Xiao Mian is the time concept of the main time and space.
In fact, Xiao Mian and the other two had been in seclusion in the Golden City for more than three years...
Otherwise, Xiao Mian would not have been able to complete the breakthroughs in the three meridians of Qi training, soul training, and body training in such a short time.
At the moment, everyone talked about their own situations.
Three months is not too long for a cultivator.
Therefore, no major changes happened to everyone.
On the contrary, there was one more person in the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm.
When Xiao Mian saw the little nun Miao Shan dressed in a bhikkhuni outfit, the expression on her face was really colorful and dazzling...
"You! How come you are here? Wait a minute! Didn't the little monk say that those monks who passed through the convenient door will return to where they came from?"
"I... I don't know either!" Miao Shan opened her big watery eyes and looked at Xiao Mian innocently, and whispered pitifully: "I was here when I came out of the convenient door! Brother Xiao..."
"Stop!"
After a little surprise, Xiao Mian was too late to stop Miao Shan from calling him.
When these five words "Brother Xiao" came out, Miao Shan didn't do anything, but Xiao Mian had already hit his forehead with his hand, his face full of tears and laughter.
Sure enough, after a period of silence, there was a burst of laughter...
Everyone finally stopped laughing, but Xiao Mian had already figured out the reason why Miao Shan appeared here - it must be that little bald donkey's trick!
In the Lei Peng demon mansion that day, since the little monk was able to make Zi Yi Hou, Jin Weili and Ni Dongliu return and let Miao Shan enter the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, what did it matter?
It was just that this little bald donkey was too rogue. He didn't ask for his opinion and forced such a trouble on himself...
Xiao Mian, who was so critical of the little monk, had never thought about what kind of nature it was that he took down the Golden City without informing the little monk.
If the little monk was a rogue, he, Xiao Mian, was a robber!
Obviously, the little monk wanted Xiao Mian to take better care of Miao Shan.
Putting aside the matter of Miao Shan, everyone discussed another major event-Tiandu Martial Arts Competition!
According to the news released by Tiandu City before, the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition will officially start on the ninth day of the ninth month of next year.
Calculating the time, it is now close to the end of the year.
In other words, there are at most ten months before the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition will kick off.
Whether it was Xiao Mian or anyone else, all Jindan cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level or realm, were interested in the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition.
Even if they knew that they could not achieve any good results, and would even be eliminated in the first elimination match, the most important thing about this grand event was to participate.
Therefore, many cultivators from areas relatively far away from Tiandu City had already started a long journey to Tiandu City...
The Songyue Mountains where Xiao Mian and others were located were close to the junction of Tiandu City and Yinshang Realm. From this point of view, they were not very far away from Tiandu City.
However, if everyone was interested in the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition, time was a bit tight.
Without waiting for everyone to discuss a result, Jin Weili, who was temporarily living in the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, suddenly looked stunned, and then activated the golden ring on his neck in front of everyone.
That golden ring, called the Golden Luo Feng Ring, was a magic weapon for communication.
With the existence of the insight halo, Jin Weili can be in the secret realm of Xuanwei Cave and get in touch with the outside world.
A male voice sounded in the Jinluo Fenghuan.
Others may not know who this person is, but Xiao Mian's heart moved.
The one who is getting in touch with Jin Weili is her husband - Chi Lianyun!
This is understandable in itself, after all, they are a pair of lovers who are married in a formal way. What really moved Xiao Mian was the message conveyed by Chi Lianyun.
Tiandu Martial Arts Competition, postponed for three years.
Jindan Competition, benefiting the three realms.
Chi Lianyun's message contained two points: one was that the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition, originally scheduled for September 9 next year, would be postponed to three years later and held as scheduled; the other was that the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition, which was originally only a golden elixir competition, would add a competition for the foundation-building stage and the Nascent Soul stage.
Until Jin Weili closed the Jinluo Phoenix Ring, everyone was still a little stunned.
The much-anticipated Tiandu Martial Arts Competition was postponed just like that? It was added just like that?
Tiandu City is indeed the most powerful city in the world, and its words are as good as gold!
Everyone was still wondering, but Jin Weili suddenly proposed to leave first.
Jin Weili left alone, while Xie Lingfeng and Hu Xiner still chose to stay in the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm - after all, this secret realm is rare.
Watching Jin Weili turn into light and leave, Xiao Mian was thoughtful.
Things may not be that simple!
If there is no sufficient reason, even the nine great sacred places would not change their orders so easily.
This is a kind of trampling on one's own reputation - naked trampling!
Although no one dared to jump out and accuse the Nine Holy Lands or Tiandu City of going back on their words, how can others influence the hearts of people who have not spoken out?
Of course, on the other hand, the postponement of the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition for three years is not a bad thing for Xiao Mian and others.
Originally, some people complained that the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition opened too early!
In this way, it gave everyone a blank period that was neither long nor short...
Three years!
Enough for everyone to do something interesting!
After coming back to their senses from the news that the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition was postponed for three years, the people in Xuanwei Cave gradually held their own opinions and started to discuss.
Some said they would go to Dongwuzhou to see the sea, some said they would go to Jizhoujing to play with fire, some said they would go to Qi County to study, and some said they would go to Tiandu City to be free and easy...
Of course, there were also people like Kong Yuanren who said they would return to Nanyue.
In the end, no one could convince anyone.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Mian again.
"Why are you looking at me? Go wherever you want! Do whatever you want! I didn't tie you up - can't you walk without me?"
Xiao Mian pushed everything away.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"Everyone! You are all my best friends and brothers in life and death, but there is no banquet that will last forever, and everyone has their own opportunities and paths!"
"Xiao Mian! Are you going to drive us away?" Gui Hai said this with some anger. Xiao Mian said to Gui Hai in a friendly manner: "Brother! This Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm will always be our common home! Whenever you are tired and bored outside, come back here and I will accompany you to drink and fight. But have you forgotten? When we were talking about the Gui Hai clan, you mentioned it?"
"..."
"Isn't the mission of the Gui Hai clan to return to the east and enter the sea?"
"Yes! This is the mission of my Gui Hai clan! But it is only the mission of my Gui Hai clan! I, Gui Hai, should not impose it on you..."
"Another reason: We all have our own missions!"
"That's right!" Taking over Xiao Mian's words, Kong Yuanren, who had been silent before, said something shocking: "Yuanren is not talented, but wants to return to Nanyue!"
"Yuanren! You..."
"Old Kong!"
After hearing what Kong Yuanren said, the others didn't do anything, but Jing Chu and Yin Jiansheng were the most touched.
"Jingchu! Jiansheng! You two, plus Yuanren and I, are all cultivators from Nanyue Province. We are of the same blood. I hope you can understand Yuanren's painstaking efforts." Reaching out and patting Kong Yuanren on the shoulder, Xiao Mian explained to Jingchu and Yin Jiansheng: "Yuanren's return to Nanyue Province can play a much more important role than his return to Zhongzhou!"
"That's right! Brother Jing! Brother Yin! I hope you can forgive Yuanren's early departure!"
After speaking, Kong Yuanren bowed to Jingchu and Yin Jiansheng.
The two looked at each other, knowing that they could not persuade Kong Yuanren, and knowing that what Xiao Mian said was indeed true, they returned the greeting to Kong Yuanren together.
The matter of Kong Yuanren's return to Nanyue Province was finalized.
Then, it was Tuoba Lan who made a shocking statement.
Tuoba Lan intended to go north to Jizhou and travel alone.
Xiao Mian heard this, without any expression, but privately he was quite worried.
After all, Tuoba Lan's cultivation is only at the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he is the weakest among the crowd.
But as he said before, everyone has his own path!
Blindly protecting Tuoba Lan by his side is not a good thing for Tuoba Lan or Xiao Mian.
Nodding, Xiao Mian turned to look at Jing Chu and Yin Jiansheng.
"The Vacuum Dao in Huaxia Realm is proficient in the art of emptiness, I want to go and see it." Jing Chu expressed his destination in a concise manner, and then Yin Jiansheng smiled and said, "I heard that Qi County has a flourishing learning atmosphere and many sword sects. Jiansheng wants to go and ask for advice."
In this way, everyone's destination has been determined.
Jing Chu went west to Huaxia Realm;
Tuoba Lan went north to Jizhou Realm;
Gui Hai went east all the way to the East China Sea;
Yin Jiansheng crossed Jizhou Realm and went straight to Qi County;
Kong Yuanren stopped in Yin Shang Realm and returned to Nanyuezhou.
The five men were divided into five groups, and no two men were in the same group.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, Xiao Mian nodded.
"I, Xiao Mian from Nanyue, want to go straight to Tiandu!"
Xiao Mian's goal was Tiandu City!
One of the main reasons why Xiao Mian traveled around the world was to find Tuoba Lan's whereabouts. Now that this matter has been resolved, Xiao Mian has to consider his actual situation.
Xiao Mian is now at the top of the Golden Core stage. He has condensed his spiritual consciousness, re-refined his body, and his combat power is infinitely close to the peak of the Golden Core stage.
Even if he goes to the other three realms and seven counties, he may not meet an opponent who can fight...
In this case, it is better to go straight to Tiandu!
The six people smiled at each other and clapped their hands to swear.
Although they have set their own itineraries and directions, since even the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference has been postponed for three years for no reason, everyone seems to be in no hurry to leave.
It is hard to meet and it is hard to leave. When leaving, there should be wine.
Gradually, only Xiao Mian, Gui Hai, Tuoba Lan and Nanyuezhou were left under the big locust tree. The others all retreated from the hill with knowledge and interest.
Six big men, with a wine gourd.
You drink a sip, I drink a sip.
It's not that they are so poor that they only have one pot of spirit wine, nor are they so stingy that they are willing to only take out one pot of spirit wine - for men, only those who have drunk the same pot of wine are true brothers!
Slightly tipsy, half drunk.
Suddenly, Gui Hai did not change his bad habits, and challenged Xiao Mian with the help of alcohol.
Xiao Mian didn't care at all. After throwing the wine gourd to Kong Yuanren on the side, he took out the Xingci Sword and made a "please" gesture to Gui Hai.
The next moment, the two people who had drunk the same wine gourd spirit wine before, fought...
