Chapter 99 - Attention
Chapter 99: Attention
The Green Cloud Palace’s flying ship was rushing towards the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition. The other eleven peaks had already gathered all the legacy disciples and were heading over one after another.
The commotion caused by the legacy competition was really huge.
In the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect, from the servant disciples who had just entered the sect to the Grand Elders who had gone up to the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, everyone was alarmed and affected by this commotion.
This batch of servant disciples was luckier.
The servant disciples changed every three years.
Therefore, they were lucky to be able to encounter the legacy competition that was held every hundred years. Being able to personally see the aura of the legacy disciples and the foundation of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect could broaden their horizons.
In addition, in the mountains and rivers of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, as well as in the primitive forest, there were various demon beasts and races living there. They were also alarmed by the commotion caused by the legacy competition.
“The legacy competition is held every hundred years.”
“This is another unprecedented event.”
“Heaven Enlightenment Sect!!!”
“Damn Heaven Enlightenment Sect. One day, I will break free from your shackles and rush out of this world to the outside world to roam the world.”
“We demon beasts are not slaves.”
“Although this is not the first time I’ve seen it, the commotion created every time the legacy competition begins makes me shocked. This is the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, which is known as the leader of the righteous path!”
“…”
These demon beasts and races raised their heads and stared at the ship that the twelve peaks sent to fetch the legacy disciples. The power emitted made them shocked and respectful.
The Green Cloud Palace’s ship was very fast.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Ming only saw the surroundings retreating. In the next moment, the Green Cloud Palace’s ship stopped, and the surroundings returned to normal.
Directly ahead, Qi Ming looked over.
In the fog, a huge and majestic palace was floating in the air. It was golden and dazzling. A huge array formation screen enveloped the entire palace like a colorful ball.
Apart from that, around this huge and towering palace, there were also small floating palaces.
There were a total of twelve.
It happened to correspond to the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.
“We’re here.” Miao Hongjian said to Qi Ming and the others, “The largest majestic palace in the center is the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition palace that you will be going to next.”
“The Grand Elders and Sect Master who are evaluating you this time are in the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition.”
“The surrounding twelve floating palaces represent the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. The floating palace representing the Green Cloud Peak is in the southeast. It’s called the Green Cloud Floating Palace.”
“Your masters and elders who have reached the Leaving Aperture realm will watch your performance in the legacy competition in the Green Cloud Floating Palace.”
“Yes.”
“Thank you for your guidance, Peak Master.”
“…”
Qi Ming and the others looked at the place Miao Hongjian pointed at. What greeted their eyes was a floating palace. It was like a staircase-shaped viewing platform. It floated in the air and one could see the words Green Cloud Floating Palace.
In addition, Qi Ming saw Lü Qingyan in the Green Cloud Floating Palace.
“Junior Brother! All the best!”
Lü Qingyan noticed Qi Ming’s gaze and immediately smiled. She waved at Qi Ming, revealing her fair arms. She clenched her fists and cheered him on.
Qi Ming nodded in response.
Honestly, when Qi Ming saw this scene, he felt like he was seeing athletes going on stage to compete. Then, the cheerleaders would cheer for them outside the venue.
This feeling was quite intense.
“Get ready.”
Miao Hongjian said, “The legacy disciples of the other eleven peaks are all here. The array formation of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition palace will be activated soon. At that time, follow me in.”
“Yes.”
“Got it.”
“…”
Qi Ming and the others replied in unison.
In the surroundings, the palaces and ships of the other eleven peaks had already arrived. Every palace and ship was lofty and magnificent with a grand aura, and they were not inferior to the Green Cloud Palace’s ship at all.
“Miao Hongjian, your Green Cloud Peak has so few legacy disciples.”
Beside him, it was the Golden Root Peak’s Peak Master, Wei Huadong, standing at the bow of the Golden Root Palace’s ship. He wore a black robe and had long hair that fluttered. He had his hands behind his back as he looked over. After taking a glance, he smiled and said.
Miao Hongjian was unmoved and said indifferently, “Although there are few legacy disciples of my Green Cloud Peak, every one of them is a dragon among men. Unlike your Golden Root Peak, there are already 123 legacy disciples, but most of them are just here to make up the numbers.”
“Making up the numbers?” Wei Huadong smiled, “Peak Master Miao, you’re wrong. You’ll know if we’re just making up the numbers after the legacy competition begins.”
“Also, I’ve been hearing that there’s a genius who has mastered the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture in your Green Cloud Peak? I wonder who it is? Is it true?”
“Tsk tsk.” Wei Huadong said, “That’s the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture. In the history of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, only three have mastered it, and each of them is a character who dominated an era.”
“What does this have to do with you?” Miao Hongjian said indifferently.
“Oh?”
Wei Huadong smiled disdainfully, “Are you afraid? Or is this a lie?”
Miao Hongjian snorted coldly, “Come and pay your respects to Peak Master Wei.”
“Yes.”
Qi Ming was a little helpless in his heart, but faced with Miao Hongjian’s instructions, he could only walk over and stand beside Miao Hongjian. He bowed to Wei Huadong, “Green Cloud Peak’s legacy disciple, Qi Ming, greets Peak Master Wei.”
“So it was you who cultivated the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.”
Wei Huadong sized Qi Ming up a few times. His gaze was a little praising, but it was a little regretful, “You’re indeed a super genius with extraordinary talent.”
“Unfortunately, it’s just that there’s too little time.”
“Even if you mastered the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture, with your current cultivation, you won’t be able to shine in this legacy competition. It’s a pity.”
“You can only wait for the next time.”
In the surroundings, many gazes landed on Qi Ming.
It was not only the Peak Masters of the twelve peaks, but the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks were also examining Qi Ming. He became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Each of the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks would come into contact with the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture, but this Foundation Establishment realm technique was too difficult. They could not master it at all and could only give up.
Therefore, Qi Ming being able to master the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture naturally attracted the attention of these legacy disciples.
“Has he reached the Nascent Soul realm?”
“If he reached the Nascent Soul realm, he will be a powerful opponent.”
“I don’t think so. After all, it’s only been ten years.”
“That’s true.”
“If he’s only in the Core Formation realm, there’s no need to pay too much attention to him.”
“…”
The legacy disciples of the twelve peaks were all talking about Qi Ming.
Although the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture was powerful, the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks were all talented geniuses. They were powerful and could jump levels to fight.
If Qi Ming’s cultivation level was too low, in their opinion, he could not pose any threat to them.
Even so, the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks were also very curious about Qi Ming.
They were all discussing Qi Ming.
“The Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture? He actually mastered this Foundation Establishment Method. This Qi Ming is indeed extraordinary. He actually really mastered it. I thought it was fake previously, but now it seems that I was wrong.”
Yu Xuelan lowered her head slightly, and her eyes flickered as if she was plotting something.
Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, the array formation screen outside the legacy palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect fluctuated. The array formation activated, and twelve different passages appeared.
Roar!
The next moment, Qi Ming and the others heard a dragon roar.
Everyone looked over.
A green light rushed into the sky and spread out, shining in all directions. It was like a huge green sun rising from behind the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition.
In an instant, the huge green sun transformed into a lifelike azure dragon. Its body was majestic and ten thousand meters long. It sat above the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition.
Dragon might surged.
The aura was magnificent.
It suppressed everything.
This was not a true dragon, but an azure dragon formed by a Grand Elder of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect using Dharmic powers and spell techniques. However, even so, its power was extremely vast.
At the very least, Qi Ming felt a huge pressure.
“As expected of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.” Qi Ming sighed.
“The Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition begins.”
The azure dragon spoke in the human tongue, “The twelve Peak Masters will lead all the legacy disciples into the hall.”
“Yes.”
“As you command, Daoist Azure Dragon.”
“…”
The twelve Peak Masters all knew who the Grand Elder who controlled this azure dragon was. His name was: Daoist Azure Dragon. His realm and cultivation were unfathomable.
“Follow me closely.” Miao Hongjian said.
Qi Ming and the others nodded.
Miao Hongjian brought Qi Ming and the others down the Green Cloud Palace’s ship. There was an invisible staircase that stretched out from the legacy palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect and was connected to the twelve peaks ship.
Qi Ming and the others followed Miao Hongjian on the invisible staircase and walked towards the legacy palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect step by step. They soon arrived at the square of the palace.
“Peak Masters of the twelve peaks, you can leave.”
Above, the huge dragon head lowered.
“Yes.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The twelve Peak Masters naturally included Miao Hongjian, Wei Donghua, and the others. After listening to the instructions of the azure dragon, they only left a few words for the legacy disciples of the various peaks before directly leaving the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition palace.
Moreover, they also headed to the twelve peaks’ floating palace to watch the battle.
The 1,230 legacy disciples gathered in the square of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy palace.
After the twelve Peak Masters left, the entire atmosphere became slightly confrontational.
In addition, until now, Qi Ming and the others also did not see the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s Grand Elders or Sect Master.
“Now, I’ll announce the rules and content of this legacy competition.”
The azure dragon looked at all the legacy disciples present and gave them a lot of pressure, “Due to the overly dangerous content and rules of this competition, there’s a huge risk of dying.”
“After careful deliberation, for this legacy competition, you can give up the opportunity.”
Immediately, when the azure dragon finished speaking, it caused a huge commotion. Not only were the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks shocked, but even the Peak Masters, legacy elders, and Leaving Aperture realm elders were shocked.
This was unprecedented.
