Seeking the Immortal Way

Hearing his Master's words, all the disciples immediately became lively. While raising their hands, they began to talk about their situation.

"Master, I'm going. I'm already at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Soon, I'll be at the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. This competition will be of great help to me. Disciple is willing to go!"

"Master, although my current realm is only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, my swordsmanship has already reached the Initial Stage. Ordinary people of the same realm are not my match."

"Master, although I just reached Foundation Establishment, my body is very resistant to beating. If I were to go up and take a beating, I would be the best candidate. I beg Master to give me a chance."

Seeing that there were so many disciples, Meng Xinghe smiled and nodded his head.

Lin Yan stood at the side and looked at his senior brothers who were fighting to the death. Recalling how their disdain for the competition just now had formed a clear contrast, he couldn't help but find it funny.

After some discussion, Meng Xinghe selected two disciples with high realms and good swordsmanship from the crowd: Zhang Ming and Nie Fengchun.

After looking at the three of them, Meng Xinghe said: "The three of you, you don't have to go to work for the time being, take a good rest for a few days, and prepare to go participate in the sect's competition. Remember, you must bring out all of your strength, even if you lose, don't leave any regrets, understand?"

"Yes, disciple will remember Master's teachings!" Lin Yan and the other two cupped their fists and replied Meng Xinghe.

Meng Xinghe nodded, turned and walked into the distance.

Those disciples who were not optimistic about Lin Yan and the other two, pouted their mouths and stood to the side, speaking sarcastically.

"I think that in this competition, our Heavenly Star Peak is at the bottom again. Letting a piece of trash participate in the competition, isn't that just embarrassing for our Heavenly Star Peak?"

"Exactly, the other three peaks are filled with talents and experts are as numerous as the clouds. Any one of them can be stronger than one of us. I don't think there's any chance of this competition between the three of them."

"I don't know what Master is thinking, but for such a talisman treasure, what use would it be in the hands of a piece of trash? It would be better to give it to those disciples with higher realms, which would be of great help to their cultivation."

A few of them looked unhappy, but before they left, they glared at Lin Yan and the other two.

Lin Yan also saw the unfriendliness in their eyes, but he did not mind. His main goal for participating in the competition this time was to have a spar with Zhao Qi and see how powerful this person with the purple spirit root could be.

Senior Brother Zhang Ming walked over, patted Lin Yan's shoulders and said: "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, looks like we'll have to fight side by side this time. On the stage, you must display your full strength.

Lin Yan turned around and said to Senior Brother Zhang Ming with a smile, "Don't worry Senior Brother, I will definitely not disgrace Master's life."

The two of them smiled at each other as they bid farewell to Nie Fengchun. Then, they turned around and walked in the direction of their residence.

On the way, Lin Yan asked Zhang Ming with some curiosity: "Senior Brother, do you know anything about the experts from the other three peaks?"

Zhang Ming slightly nodded his head, and said to Lin Yan: "I at least know a little, after all every mountain has one or two monstrous geniuses, with good spiritual roots, so their cultivation speed is very fast, especially Zhao Qi who has a purple spirit root, he is especially talented, and with Clan Elder Xiao Mo's focus on him, I heard that he is already a peak mid stage Foundation Establishment stage Cultivation Level, it is truly unrivalled!"

Lin Yan nodded slightly, his expression not showing any nervousness at all. He smiled and said: "Zhao Qi, this guy, was born and raised in Hua Tong City with me, and when I was young, I often beat him up. I never thought that he would actually be a genius with purple spirit root s.

After hearing Lin Yan's words, Zhang Ming was startled, he frowned as he looked at Lin Yan with a trace of pity in his eyes and said to Lin Yan: "If it's really like that, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, you're going to be in trouble. If this Zhao Qi is narrow-minded, coupled with his extraordinary talent, he will definitely come to participate in this competition, and if you meet him on the stage, Zhao Qi will definitely make things difficult for you.

Lin Yan laughed and waved: "No worries, so what if he has purple spirit root s? Didn't he let me beat him up since young, and before, I said in Hua Tong City that if I saw him fight once, who told him to always oppose me, and bully the weak and weak, these words, are still effective when coming to Sky Cloud Martial Sect."

Zhang Ming was still very worried, he frowned and said to Lin Yan: "Junior brother, your spiritual roots are different, furthermore, we have already entered the Sky Cloud Martial Sect to cultivate for one year, and with Zhao Qi's help, his cultivation is no longer the same as before. Maybe you really aren't his match."

Lin Yan smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry Senior, I know what this is about, I participated in this sect's competition to see how good this man is. If he cultivates and has some tricks up his sleeve, I will still deal with him."

Hearing Lin Yan's words, Zhang Ming shook his head and sighed, he felt that this time, Lin Yan would definitely suffer a lot on the stage, but there was no other way, after all, he had chosen this route himself, so unless he took the initiative to retreat, no one would be able to change his mind.

The two of them parted on the small path in front of the mountain.

Returning to his room, Lin Yan thought to himself, although he had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, through his own hard work, with the help of the Purple Void Pupil Skill, wouldn't Duan Chun's Cultivation Level also be at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage? It wouldn't be a problem to deal with him, but defeating Zhao Qi would naturally not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan felt free and at ease. He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

On the other side, Zhao Qi who was in the Emerald Peak had voluntarily proposed to participate in this time's sect competition in order to prove to everyone that he was still cultivating.

Although he said that, Zhao Qi's main goal was actually to let Lin Yan know that the current him, was no longer the him he once was. He would definitely teach him a lesson in the future.

The Emerald Mountain's Elder Xiao Mo also nodded his head in agreement. In his heart, he thought that it would be a good opportunity to show off to the other three peaks' Peak Master since he had a good disciple that would definitely become great in the future.
