Seeking the Way of Immortality

September 18th, the sect competition.

On this day, countless outer disciples gathered in the sect square. Some disciples who went out for training had returned to the sect a few days ago. Those who did not come back would probably never come back! After all, the sect competition is of extraordinary significance. Unless they die outside, they will come to participate.

Wu Zheng, dressed in a green shirt, also came to the square early that day. He practiced behind closed doors all day, so he knew nothing about everything in the sect. He wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the situation inside the sect.

"Have you heard that the top ten in this year's competition will be admitted to the inner sect as an exception, and they don't have to wait until the assessment five years later."

"I heard that this year's rewards are richer than in previous years. It is said that the top three can get the legendary 'Enlightenment Pill'."

"It's the 'Enlightenment Pill' that is said to improve enlightenment." The two outer disciples discussed. Wu Zheng turned around and went elsewhere when he saw that there was no other news.

"Brother, I heard that the top ten geniuses of the outer sect will also participate this year."

"How can the other outer sect disciples survive then?"

"Hey, you two don't know yet, there are many dark horses this year."

"Brother, how did you know?" one of them asked.

"Don't you know? The outer sect has spread it all!" the man said in surprise.

"Brother, we just came back too, please help us solve the problem."

The man said without hesitation.

"Wang Yixiao, a senior brother from the outer sect, is known as the 'Laughing Maitreya'. Although he is fat, he has already reached the eighth level of Qi training. He has always been very low-key; Chen Yang, the 'Chasing Wind Sword', is invincible with his Chasing Wind Sword. It is said that when Chen Yang was still at the seventh level of Qi training, he killed Li Tianchao, the 'Hell Hand', who was at the eighth level of Qi training. Li Tianchao is a young genius of the magic way!; and Xie Qingshan, the 'Overlord'; Chen Tiannan, the 'Strange Tiger'; Duan Wuxue, the 'Sword Coming South'; Liu Qian, the 'Butterfly Sword'; Yin Mengyao, the 'Piaoxue Sword', etc., are all rare geniuses." The man said proudly, as if he was talking about himself.

"Why are all these geniuses out this time?" Someone asked in confusion.

"What do you know? According to reliable information, the top 30 people in this outer sect competition will represent the sect to participate in the trials organized by the six major sects." One person said disdainfully.

"Brother, what is the sect trial?" Wu Zheng asked with interest.

The man did not hide it. "The so-called sect trial is that the six major sects organize their disciples below the foundation-building stage to enter the legendary 'Lingtian Secret Realm' where they can get great opportunities. It is said that there is everything in the Lingtian Secret Realm. As long as there is an opportunity, you can even get a heaven-level technique." The man said.

"Why doesn't the Lingtian Sect send people to search?" another person said.

"It's not that they don't look for it, but the Lingtian Secret Realm opens once every ten years, and only people below the foundation-building stage can enter. Even a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage cannot change it." The man said.

"In this case, the Lingtian Sect can completely control the secret realm so that its disciples can experience it. Why is it our turn at the Qingyang Sect?" One person asked puzzled.

The man looked around and whispered, "It is said that the Lingtian Sect's Grand Elder Mo Wentian once went there, but was seriously injured by the mysterious light in the Lingtian Secret Realm. He has not recovered yet. This is also the reason why the Lingtian Sect has been keeping a low profile in recent years."

Everyone gasped. You know, the Lingtian Sect's Grand Elder is a Nascent Soul stage Great Perfection.

With a long whistle, the entire outer square of Qingyang Gate fell silent in an instant. A figure flew in the sky and slowly landed on the rostrum.

"Be quiet, I am Li Qingxu, the inner sect elder of Qingyang Sect, and my Taoist name is Qingxu Zhenren. Now I will announce the rules and procedures of the sect competition." The man who flew in the sky said loudly.

"There are three levels in this competition. The first level: cultivation test; the second level: mana purity test; the third level: fighting. Now I declare the competition to begin." Qingxu Zhenren did not mention anything about rewards, so people would not ask. Just kidding, this Qingxu Zhenren is a cultivator in the late Jindan period, and his status in Qingyang Sect is second only to the sect master and the supreme elder. Who dares to question him?

Qingyang Sect's outer sect disciples are said to have as many as 30,000 people, and nearly 10,000 people have been eliminated in the first level alone. Wu Zheng revealed his true cultivation and naturally successfully advanced.

The second level is a test of the purity of mana. The mana of Qingxu Zhenren on the stage was activated, and instantly covered more than 20,000 people who advanced. Wu Zheng felt a surge of force, which made him breathless. In just a moment, it reached a large area, and the pressure on his body was still increasing.

About a quarter of an hour later, the pressure suddenly increased sharply, and there were less than 500 people standing in the square.

"In this competition, only 489 people advanced to the third level. The disciples who advanced in three days will compete here." Qingxu Zhenren said coldly.

Wu Zheng also secretly called it lucky. If it weren't for the small success of the Qi training chapter of "Qinglong Refining Body", I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to advance today.

The news he heard today also shocked Wu Zheng. Wu Zheng secretly made up his mind to get into the top 30 of the sect competition. He wanted to go to the "Lingtian Secret Realm" to find his own opportunity. Wu Zheng knew in his heart that people like him who had no background and no talent wanted to go further on the road of cultivation, only by chance.

"It's been a while since I got the 'Water and Fire Lotus', and I've made some progress in the 'Blue Dragon Body Refining'. It's time to try to absorb the medicinal power of the 'Water and Fire Lotus'." Wu Zheng said to himself.

Taking out the jade box containing the water and fire lotus from the storage bag, Wu Zheng carefully opened the box. The palm-sized water and fire lotus was still shining.

Wu Zheng swallowed the water and fire lotus in one gulp. As soon as it entered his mouth, the water and fire lotus turned into a liquid and entered his stomach.

Wu Zheng immediately used the technique to absorb the medicinal power of the water and fire lotus. After all, the water and fire lotus is a natural treasure that even the second-level monsters covet. Although Wu Zheng has already achieved a small success in body refining, he cannot withstand the medicinal power of the water and fire lotus.

Gritting his teeth, Wu Zheng knew that this breath of essence must not be leaked, otherwise he would die.

With an idea, he used the Qinglong Body Refining technique. At this moment, Wu Zheng's clothes were torn, and a trace of blood flowed out of Wu Zheng's body. Wu Zheng's face was twitching, and his flying long hair was also covered with sweat.

If someone could see Wu Zheng at this time, they would find that Wu Zheng's breath gradually rose, from the peak of the fifth level of Qi training, to the sixth level of Qi training, to the early stage of the sixth level, to the middle stage, to the late stage, to the great perfection. It was about to break through to the seventh level of Qi training, but Wu Zheng suppressed the mana in his body and controlled it to the great perfection of the sixth level of Qi training.

Wu Zheng's breath fluctuated for a while, and finally calmed down. Wu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and a breath of turbid air shot at the wall like lightning. A burst of black smoke came out of the wall, and a hole was corroded by Wu Zheng's turbid air.

These are all toxins accumulated in Wu Zheng's body for many years. Today, the Qi training chapter of the body training method "Qinglong Body Training" has been completed, which is equivalent to completely cleansing Wu Zheng's body. From then on, there will be no obstacles to practice.

Looking down at the blood scabs on his body, Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, washed his body, changed into a green shirt, and counted with his fingers. There is still one day before the third level of the competition. It turns out that Wu Zheng has practiced for two days without realizing it. Fortunately, he did not miss the competition.

Thinking of the competition tomorrow, Wu Zheng is still very confident. He has made some achievements in physical training now. He thinks that those below the foundation-building stage can no longer cause harm to him. His cultivation has also reached the sixth level of Qi training. The purity of his magic power is equivalent to the seventh level of Qi training. He can fight with ordinary people at the eighth level of Qi training.

In addition to his use of magic, he may fight for the "Lingtian Secret Realm". It is not impossible to be in the top ten. He is looking forward to who will be the biggest dark horse. It is estimated that Wu Zheng will surprise many people in this competition.
