The disciples stood at the foot of Jinxuan Peak, looking up at the towering mountain peak, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts. Jinxuan Peak is not only the symbol of Jinxuan Sect, but also one of the most sacred places in the sect.

As the day for the exchange competition approached, Jin Xuanzong's disciples gathered under Jin Xuan Peak, preparing to go to the top to watch the battle. Xuanhao also followed the flow of people and slowly headed towards the peak.

Along the way, he heard many discussions about Yinxuan Sect. Although Yinxuanzong and Jinxuanzong have similar names, their cultivation methods and sect cultures are quite different. Yinxuanzong is famous for its weapon refining and elixir refining, and its disciples are often much more accomplished in these areas than the disciples of Jinxuanzong.

"I heard that Yinxuan Sect has many masters coming this time. Disciples of our sect should work hard." A disciple said to his companion next to him.

"Don't worry, our sect's senior brother Xuanhao has just successfully built a foundation and his strength has greatly increased. We will definitely win this competition." Another disciple replied confidently.

When Xuan Hao heard these discussions, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. As the new star of Jin Xuanzong, he naturally became the focus of many people's attention. On the road to immortality, every competition is just a test, and true cultivation and improvement are the most important.

Finally, everyone arrived at the top of Jinxuan Peak. Here is a huge platform, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if you are in a fairyland. In the center of the platform, a competition platform has been set up, with many seats placed around it for the sect's senior officials and disciples to watch the battle.

Xuan Hao noticed that the disciples of Yin Xuan Sect had also arrived. They were wearing uniform silver robes and had a cold temperament. They were obviously well prepared. Although the disciples of the two sects remained polite on the surface, the atmosphere between them was somewhat tense.

The competition officially began, and the first competition was the weapon refining and elixir refining competitions. The disciples of Yinxuanzong demonstrated their superb weapon refining skills. Each exquisite magic weapon gradually took shape in their hands, emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations. The disciples of Jin Xuanzong were not to be outdone. They showed off their alchemy results. Each elixir exuded an alluring aroma and attracted many eyes.

As one of the disciples watching the battle, Xuan Hao carefully observed the performance of both sides. He found that although Jin Xuanzong was slightly inferior in weapon refining and elixir refining, their disciples had unique advantages in cultivation methods and combat skills.

As the competition progressed, the atmosphere gradually became intense. The disciples from both sides began to conduct actual combat competitions to demonstrate their respective combat abilities. Xuanhao, as a member of Jin Xuanzong, was also placed on the competition list.

His opponent was a young disciple of Yin Xuan Sect named Yin Feng. Yinfeng has extremely high talent in refining weapons, and has even been able to refine some low-level magic weapons. His strength should not be underestimated, but Xuan Hao did not back down.

When the competition began, Yinfeng quickly summoned his magic weapon - a silver long sword. The long sword drew silver tracks in the air, attacking Xuan Hao with powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Xuan Hao used the spells in "Tianji Jue" to flexibly avoid the opponent's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

The battle between the two was extremely fierce, Yinfeng's swordsmanship was fierce, and Xuanhao's spells were unpredictable. The audience was dazzled and cheered for the wonderful performance of the two people.

Finally, in a clever counterattack, Xuanhao found Yinfeng's flaw and stabbed out with his sword, hitting the opponent's vital point. Although Yinfeng was defeated, he expressed his sincere admiration for Xuanhao: "Senior Brother Xuanhao's strength is indeed well-deserved, Yinfeng admires him."

Xuan Hao responded with a smile: "Junior Brother Yinfeng's weapon refining skills are also very good. I hope to have the opportunity to learn from you."

After the competition, although the disciples of the two sects won and lost each other in the competition, the relationship between them became more harmonious. Xuanhao's performance even won the respect of the Yinxuan Sect disciples.

Master Tianji and the master of Yinxuan Sect also had a friendly exchange after the competition.

At the end of the exchange meeting, Master Tianji walked up to Xuan Hao, patted his shoulder, and said: "Xuan Hao, your performance is very good and you have brought a lot of glory to the sect. I have an opportunity here. I wonder if you can interest."

Xuan Hao turned around and bowed respectfully: "Please give me some advice."

Master Tianji pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In the world of cultivation, in addition to the big sects like us, there are also some hidden forces. They act mysteriously, but their strength cannot be underestimated. Recently, we received news that these forces It seems to be operating in secret and may pose a threat to us.”

Xuan Hao frowned: "What the sect leader means is that we need to send people to investigate the movements of these forces?"

Master Tianji nodded: "That's right. I hope you can lead a team of disciples to the areas where the forces are active, detect their movements, and report back in time. This operation will not only allow you to temper yourself, but also after completing the task How about a big reward? Are you interested?"

Xuan Hao nodded slightly: "Disciple will be careful when receiving orders."

Master Tianji nodded with satisfaction: "Get ready and set off tomorrow. Remember, safety comes first, don't act rashly."

Xuan Hao agreed, then returned to his courtyard and began to prepare the supplies and magic weapons needed for this mission. This mission requires not only strong strength, but also caution.

Early the next morning, Xuan Hao led a team of carefully selected disciples and set off on a journey to the area where those secret forces were active. Their goal was a place called "Dark Forest", which was shrouded in fog all year round and was said to hide many unknown secrets.

After several days of trekking, Xuan Hao and his team finally arrived at the edge of the Dark Forest. The fog here was thicker than they had imagined, and the vision was extremely poor. Even the cultivators could only see a few meters away.

Xuan Hao asked the team to stop and carefully observed the surrounding environment. He found that the fog here seemed to contain some special spiritual energy that could interfere with the perception of the cultivators.

"Everyone be careful, there is something strange about the fog here." Xuan Hao reminded the other disciples in the team.

They entered the Dark Forest carefully, taking every step very cautiously. The trees in the forest were tall and dense, covering the sky and the sun, making the already dim environment even more gloomy.

As they went deeper into the forest, Xuan Hao felt that the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger. He knew that they might have approached the activity area of ​​those secret forces.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out of the mist and blocked their way. It was a mysterious figure in a black robe, with a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

"Who are you? Why did you break into the dark forest?" The mysterious figure's voice was cold and low.

Xuanhao stepped forward and responded in a deep voice: "We are disciples of Jinxuan Sect, and we are here to investigate some situations under the order of the sect master. We have no ill intentions."

The mysterious figure did not seem to buy it, and snorted coldly: "The dark forest is not a place for you to come, leave quickly, no one will be hurt."

Xuanhao frowned, knowing that the other party would not let go easily. He secretly signaled the disciples in the team to be prepared and ready to deal with possible conflicts at any time.

"In this case, we can only offend." Xuanhao said, and a spell had already condensed in his hand.

Seeing this, the mysterious figure flashed a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, and his figure shook and attacked Xuanhao. The battle between the two broke out instantly, and the collision of spells and spiritual energy set off a storm in the dark forest.

Xuan Hao used the magic in "Tian Ji Jue" to fight fiercely with the opponent. The opponent was extraordinary and obviously a master, but Xuan Hao gradually gained the upper hand with his strength in the foundation-building period and rich combat experience.

In the end, in a clever magic counterattack, Xuan Hao successfully hit the opponent's vital point and forced the opponent to retreat. Seeing that the situation was not good, the mysterious figure quickly disappeared in the mist.

Xuan Hao did not pursue, he knew that there were more dangers in the dark forest. He asked the team to move forward and be more vigilant about the surrounding environment.

As they went deeper into the forest, they found many hidden caves and ruins, which seemed to be related to those mysterious forces.

Xuan Hao and his team continued to move forward in the dark forest, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers. The fog in the forest seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and even a foundation-building cultivator like Xuan Hao could feel an invisible pressure.

"Everyone stay alert, there may be more enemies hidden in the fog here." Xuan Hao reminded the disciples in the team.

They carefully passed through dense forests and came to a seemingly ordinary open space. However, Xuanhao's intuition told him that this place was not simple. He carefully observed the surrounding environment and found some strange symbols on the ground, which seemed to be traces of some kind of formation.

"There may be a mechanism here, everyone be careful." Xuanhao whispered.

He walked forward and carefully observed the symbols, trying to find out the rules. After some research, he found that these symbols were actually an ancient protective formation used to protect an important place.

"We need to crack this formation before we can move forward." Xuanhao said to the disciples in the team.

They began to try to crack the formation. Xuanhao used the formation knowledge in "Tianji Jue" and gradually found a way to crack the formation. After some efforts, the formation was finally cracked, and a stone door slowly rose on the ground.

Behind the stone door was a passage leading to the underground. Xuanhao walked in first, and the team followed closely. The light in the passage was dim, but Xuanhao's perception told him that it was full of spiritual energy and obviously hidden some secrets.

As they went deeper into the passage, some murals began to appear on the surrounding walls. These murals depict some ancient scenes, and seem to be telling some ancient stories. Xuanhao carefully observed these murals, trying to find some clues from them.

The murals depict some scenes of immortal cultivators fighting with strange beasts, as well as some mysterious rituals. Xuanhao noticed that the immortal cultivators in the murals seemed to be wearing silver robes similar to those of Yinxuan Sect, which made him feel moved.

"It seems that this place has some connection with Yinxuan Sect." Xuanhao thought to himself.

They continued to move forward and finally came to a huge underground hall. In the center of the hall, there was a huge stone platform, on which was placed a treasure chest emitting a faint light. There were also some complex formations around the treasure chest.

Xuanhao walked forward and carefully observed the treasure chest. He found that the formation on the treasure chest had similarities with the protective formation in the passage, and it was obviously also used to protect the treasure chest.

"We need to carefully crack this formation before we can open the treasure chest." Xuanhao said to the disciples in the team.

They began to try to crack the formation. Xuan Hao used the formation knowledge in "Tian Ji Jue" and gradually found a way to crack the formation. After some efforts, the formation was finally cracked and the treasure chest slowly opened.

In the treasure chest, there was an ancient book and a jade slip emitting powerful spiritual energy. Xuan Hao picked up the book and found that it was a secret book recording the cultivation method of Yinxuan Sect. And the jade slip seemed to contain some powerful spells.

"It seems that we have found the secret of Yinxuan Sect." Xuan Hao said to the disciples in the team.

They put away the books and jade slips and prepared to take them back to the sect and hand them over to Tianji Zhenren. These discoveries are not only of great significance to Jinxuan Sect, but may also have a far-reaching impact on the entire cultivation world.

However, just as they were about to leave the hall, they suddenly felt a strong spiritual fluctuation. Xuan Hao was shocked. He knew that the source of this fluctuation was obviously stronger than any enemy they had encountered before.

"Everyone be careful, there may be a strong enemy approaching." Xuan Hao reminded the disciples in the team.

They quickly prepared for battle and observed their surroundings vigilantly. Soon, a figure slowly walked out of the shadow of the hall. It was an old man in a silver robe with a sneer on his face.

"You disciples of Jinxuan Sect, you dare to break into our forbidden area. You are really courting death." The old man's voice was cold and low.

Xuanhao stepped forward and responded in a deep voice: "We are just here to investigate some situations under the order of the sect master. We have no ill intentions. Since this is your forbidden area, we will leave now."

The old man snorted coldly: "It's too late to leave now. Since you already know our secret, don't think about leaving alive."

As he said, the old man condensed a powerful spell in his hand and attacked Xuanhao and the others. Xuanhao knew that they were facing a powerful opponent this time and had to go all out.

He quickly operated the spells in "Tianji Jue" and started a fierce duel with the old man. The collision of spells and spiritual energy set off a storm in the hall, and the surrounding walls and ground began to shake.

The battle was extremely fierce. Xuanhao gradually gained the upper hand with his strength in the foundation-building period and rich combat experience. Finally, in a clever counterattack with magic, Xuan Hao successfully hit the old man's vital point and forced him to retreat.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man quickly disappeared into the shadow of the hall. Xuan Hao did not pursue him, as he knew that there were more dangers in the dark forest. He asked the team to quickly leave the hall and return to the sect.
