“All of you have to listen carefully next.”
Feng Zimu’s expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, “Because this matter concerns the Legacy Competition, we naturally can’t be careless. Moreover, among you, it’s not the first time someone has participated in the competition.”
“Yes.”
Tang Binshun and Jin Lin nodded.
The two of them had participated in the last legacy competition, but they had not shown any outstanding performance last time. This time, they had prepared more.
Qi Ming did not say anything.
He was only listening.
“You should have heard some basic information recently.”
Feng Zimu continued, “Therefore, you should know that the rules and content of every legacy competition of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect are completely different.”
Qi Ming and the others nodded.
“However, some of you should not know that the content and rules of every legacy competition are jointly discussed by the Grand Elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. In the end, it will be approved and implemented by Lord Sect Master.”
“It even implicates the providence of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.”
“Therefore, before the competition begins, other than the Grand Elders and the sect, basically no one else knows the details and rules of the competition.”
“However…”
“There is still some news that will spread. This is also what I’ve spent a lot of effort to find out. What I have to tell you is that this legacy competition is quite dangerous, even more dangerous than the last one.”
Tang Binshun’s expression could not help but tighten, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face as he said, “Master, is that true?”
Feng Zimu nodded.
Tang Binshun and Jin Lin fell silent.
They had personally experienced the last legacy competition. The Sect Master and several Grand Elders had used supreme Dharmic powers to reverse the space and send all the legacy disciples to the Western Region’s Endless Abyss to kill the underground demon, causing more than a hundred legacy disciples to die.
Speaking of which…
The past legacy competition of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect was relatively gentle. Basically, they would enter the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s grotto-heaven blessed land to fight or compete in the arena.
Therefore, very few legacy disciples died in the legacy competition.
However, the last legacy competition had indeed left a fresh memory in many legacy disciples.
In addition, Tang Binshun and Jin Lin still remembered.
In the last legacy competition, the legacy disciple of the Jade Radiance Peak, Hu Pingding, could be said to have been possessed by a god of death. He had fought his way through the Endless Abyss and attained his Dao through slaughter. No one could compete with him.
He had even entered the Dao of Slaughter and reached the Aperture Leaving realm.
Finally, Hu Pingjing obtained the recognition of several Grand Elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain. He stood out in that legacy competition and entered the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain to become a legacy disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.
Feng Zimu’s gaze landed on Qi Ming and he asked bluntly, “What realm has your current cultivation reached?”
Qi Ming said, “I broke through to the late-stage Core Formation realm two days ago.”
“Late-stage Core Formation realm.” Feng Zimu’s expression was delighted as his eyes lit up slightly, “Not bad, not bad. In ten years, your cultivation has already reached the late-stage Core Formation realm. Very good.”
“Thank you for your praise, Master.” Qi Ming replied.
At this moment, Tang Binshun and the other senior brothers and sisters’ gazes also landed on Qi Ming. They were sizing up their youngest junior brother and were quite interested.
Back then, Qi Ming had mastered the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture and shone brightly at the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly. He suppressed the other legacy disciples of the eleven peaks and reached the Core Formation realm overnight.
News of all kinds of deeds had long spread in the Green Cloud Peak.
Tang Binshun and the others naturally knew.
“Junior Brother, you’re actually already at the late-stage Core Formation realm.”
Fan Zhong was very surprised. He looked at Qi Ming and said, “I’m only at the late-stage Core Formation realm now. I’ve not stepped into the Nascent Soul realm. I didn’t expect you to catch up to me so quickly.”
“Senior Brother, you’re too humble.”
Qi Ming said, “I’ve only just broken through, but you’ve already broken through for a long time. Now, you’ve probably already found the path to the Nascent Soul realm. You must be making preparations already.”
“Hahaha…”
Fan Zhong laughed loudly, “You can tell.”
“Junior Brother Qi.”
Wu Changchun mainly cultivated the Body Tempering Method, but his attainments in the Dao of Body Tempering were rather high, and he had walked very far. Therefore, there was no trace of Body Tempering on his body at all. Moreover, he liked to read scriptures well, so in the eyes of ordinary people, he was more like a Confucian scholar.
“Senior Brother, I’ve heard of your deeds before and am quite surprised. I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity and time to meet you, but I was delayed by many things.”
Wu Changchun said, “Seeing you today, you’re indeed a dragon among men. Unfortunately, Junior Brother, you’ve only been a legacy disciple for more than ten years, and the time has been a little short. Therefore, it’s difficult for Junior Brother to shine in this legacy competition.”
“The late-stage Core Formation realm’s cultivation level is too low.”
Tang Bin frowned, and his gaze landed on Qi Ming and Fan Zhong, “According to what Master said, if the danger of this legacy competition is even higher than last time, the danger will be too high if the two of you participate with your cultivation levels.”
“Senior Brother Tang is right.” Jin Lin nodded solemnly. “Therefore, I have to remind the two of you. For the sake of your lives and safety, you should think of a way to get out of the legacy competition.”
Immediately, the scene fell silent.
Although Tang Binshun and Jin Lin had good intentions, Fan Zhong and Qi Ming were legacy disciples after all. Those who could become legacy disciples were all geniuses with extraordinary talent and had pride and arrogance.
Of course, Qi Ming did not care about this.
However, Fan Zhong was quite affected.
“Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother and Senior Sister.” Fan Zhong said indifferently, “But I still want to give it a try.”
“Up to you.” Jin Lin shrugged.
“At that time, if we meet in the legacy competition and encounter danger, you can come and find me.” Tang Binshun said.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Fan Zhong was stunned and cupped his hands.
“Qi Ming, Fan Zhong.”
Feng Zimu said, “The two of you entered the sect relatively late, so it’s very normal for your cultivation levels to be a little low. There’s no need to pay too much attention to it. Moreover, even if your performance in the legacy competition is not good, you still have a chance to participate.”
“Tang Binshun and Jin Lin are right about one thing. No matter who it is, they have to protect their lives. If they die, everything will become a dream.”
“I’ll remember it.” Fan Zhong said.
“Yes.” Qi Ming nodded.
“We’ll remember Master’s teachings.” Tang Binshun and the others also said in unison.
In the evening, Qi Ming left the Immortal Transformation Peak.
In addition, his master, Feng Zimu, had given Qi Ming and the others a life-saving item. Qi Ming had obtained the Heart Protecting Dragon Scale. It could block a fatal strike below the Leaving Aperture realm. Even the attack of an early-stage Leaving Aperture realm expert could barely block an attack.
As for what life-preservation items the other senior brothers and senior sisters obtained, Qi Ming did not know either.
Time passed, a month later.
Buzz! Buzz!!
On this day, in the morning.
The legacy competition was about to begin.
“Rise!”
Rumble!!!
Miao Hongjian stood in the air and waved his hand. Vast Dharmic powers surged, and a majestic and magnificent palace ship that was like a celestial palace rose from the top of the Green Cloud Peak.
Multicolored light shone brightly.
Rays of light flowed continuously.
It was abnormally gorgeous.
This palace ship was called: Green Cloud Palace.
Buzz!
Spirit qi shook and swept in all directions.
At this moment, all the disciples and elders of the Green Cloud Peak raised their heads and looked at the Green Cloud Palace that had already risen into the sky. Their expressions were shocked and filled with reverence.
“Legacy disciples, listen up.”
Swish!
Miao Hongjian clasped his hands behind his back. The might of the Peak Master spread, making everyone from the Green Cloud Peak feel deep reverence. His voice spread in all directions, “Enter the ship immediately.”
Falling Cloud Peak, in front of the cave abode.
“It’s time to set off.”
Qi Ming clasped his hands behind his back. His four spirit pets had long been put into the spirit pet slots.
Because the Blood Fiend Ghost King had not broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, Qi Ming did not bring it along. Instead, he let it guard the Falling Cloud Peak.
Qi Ming walked towards Green Cloud Palace step by step. Every step he took in the void, a green lotus would appear and prop him up step by step.
This was: Lotus Blooming Step by Step.
“Goodbye, Uncle-Master.”
Below, Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan bowed to Qi Ming.
“Qi Ming! Legacy Disciple Qi!”
“It’s him!”
“Lotus Blooming Step by Step, what an amazing sight.”
“…”
In the surroundings, many Green Cloud Peak disciples recognized Qi Ming when they saw him.
It was simple.
In the eyes of everyone, Qi Ming was clearly walking very slowly, but in a few steps, it was as if he teleported, and he was the first to board the Green Cloud Palace.
“So fast.”
“How did he go up so quickly?”
“I couldn’t react.”
“What spell is this?”
“…”
Everyone was surprised.
“Disciple Qi Ming greets Peak Master.” Qi Ming bowed.
Miao Hongjian nodded and said, “Not bad. Those few steps just now have already involved the power of space. It’s like shrinking the ground into an inch.”
“Thank you for your praise, Peak Master.” Qi Ming said.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!!
At this moment, the other 73 legacy disciples of the Green Cloud Peak used different methods. They either transformed into dragons and boarded the ship, or they transformed into sword lights and boarded the ship, or they displayed phenomenon…
Various methods appeared.
They showed their strength and methods.
From now on, the battle had already quietly begun.
The disciples of the Green Cloud Peak could be considered to have had their fill. After witnessing the methods of the legacy disciples, their hearts were filled with yearning and reverence.
On the deck of Green Cloud Palace, the 74 legacy disciples of the Green Cloud Peak were all present.
“Your master has already gone to the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition.”
Miao Hongjian looked at everyone and said, “I will send you there now and head to the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition. At that time, you will be able to see the legacy disciples of the other eleven peaks.”
“Yes.”
“Thank you, Peak Master.”
“Yes.”
“…”
The legacy disciples of the Green Cloud Peak replied.
“Let’s go.”
Buzz!
Miao Hongjian waved his right hand, and the Green Cloud Palace transformed into a green flash of light. The magnificent palace ship instantly disappeared from the spot.
