Chapter 5 Provocation(1/2)
After twelve years of practice, he has reached the seventh level of Qi training. This speed, in the entire world of practice, cannot be said to be fast, but it cannot be said to be slow either.
However, for Mu Xingchen, who has two spiritual roots, such a speed of cultivation is a bit ridiculous.
In fact, Mu Xingchen had already reached the seventh level of Qi training three years ago. Then, his cultivation remained at the seventh level of Qi training, without making any progress in three years.
Among those who joined the Tianyan Sect with Mu Xingchen back then, many of them had three spiritual roots and had already reached the late stage or peak stage of Qi training.
As for the other people with dual spiritual roots in the same period as Mu Xingchen, the slowest one is only one step away from becoming a foundation-building master. The fastest one has even entered the middle stage of foundation-building.
Mu Xingchen's cultivation level is not only lower than many of his fellow disciples at the same time, but also compared to some of his fellow disciples who joined the Tianyan Sect a few years later.
As time went by, some disciples in the Tianyan Sect began to discuss Mu Xingchen's cultivation speed.
As the largest cultivation sect in the Tianlang Dynasty, the Tianyan Sect naturally recruits disciples from the secular world mainly from the Tianlang Dynasty. At the same time, the Tianyan Sect also recruits disciples from outside the Tianlang Dynasty, many of whom are related to the Tianlang Dynasty.
People from other countries allied with North Korea.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Although the seven Western countries formed an alliance a hundred years ago, no matter before or after the alliance, there were always constant conflicts between the countries, and there were constant overt and covert fights both inside and outside the country.
Although the Tianyan Sect has only been around for thirty years, and it has only been thirty years since the Tianlang Dynasty and its allies recruited disciples, in the past thirty years, the disciples from various countries have already formed their own camps, and there are fights between each other from time to time.
As for this kind of fight, as long as it is within the rules of the sect, Tianyan Sect will not only not stop it, but it can even be said to be happy to hear it.
the reason is simple.
Cultivation is not easy.
The spiritual world is cruel.
Those who practice spiritual life suffer too many tribulations.
If you want to succeed in practice, a monk will inevitably experience many tribulations in his life. Many of these tribulations are the kind of catastrophes that will cause the monk's body to die and his path to disappear if he is not handled well.
If you want to improve a monk's ability to cope with various hardships, training is naturally indispensable. Fighting is one type of training.
The seven Western countries adhere to the law of the jungle. Most of the teenagers from the Sirius Dynasty and other countries have believed in the law of the jungle since they were young. After joining the Tianyan Sect, not only did their aggressive nature not curb at all, but they became more powerful than their cultivators.
Because the growth rate must be fast.
When Mu Xingchen first entered the Tianyan Sect, he was quite respected and admired among the disciples of the Seven Kingdoms because of his distinguished background and rare dual spiritual roots. The disciples of the Tianlang Dynasty in the Tianyan Sect even made Mu Xingchen
Serve as one of the future backbones of the Tianlang camp in Tianyan Sect.
But as time went by, Mu Xingchen's cultivation was surpassed by more and more people, and the Tianyan Sect disciples, including the disciples of the Seven Kingdoms, began to gradually change their attitude towards Mu Xingchen.
Seeing that the gap in cultivation between Mu Xingchen and others was widening, these disciples no longer had the respect and admiration they had for Mu Xingchen. Instead, they felt pity, sympathy, then contempt and ridicule, and finally gradually
It turned into hatred and provocation.
Many disciples want to step on Mu Xingchen. Among them, there are even many disciples from the Tianlang Dynasty. Moreover, the ones who want to step on Mu Xingchen the hardest are just a few disciples from the Tianlang Dynasty.
They and Mu Xingchen belong to the same camp. Compared with the disciples from other countries, not only do they not have any enmity with Mu Xingchen, but they have more friendships from the same origin.
However, when they saw Mu Xingchen, who had a better background and stronger spiritual roots than them, and the star that once shone in the Sirius Dynasty fell into the dust, these Sirius disciples actually felt an inexplicable pleasure in their hearts, and even had a strong desire.
The desire to beat up the drowned dog.
So, they rushed forward.
They began to provoke Mu Xingchen.
First there was verbal provocation.
But, it's useless.
Mu Xingchen often defeated them with just one look.
Every time they bullied Mu Xingchen with words, Mu Xingchen looked at them like a king looking at a group of beggars. If nothing else, the pity and disregard in Mu Xingchen's eyes made those provocative
The disciples of Tianlang were so ashamed and angry that they lost the battle.
Then came the roundabout attack.
However, it is also useless.
For new disciples who join Tianyan Sect, it is considered a high honor to be able to directly become an outer disciple. After becoming an outer disciple, it is rare to receive face-to-face guidance from the master of the foundation building in the sect once a month.
Those who can directly become inner disciples are selected from a thousand new disciples. Moreover, even if they become inner disciples, their daily practice is mostly guided by their fellow disciples, and they only consult Master Ji Zhuji a few times a month.
Chance.
Mu Xingchen's cultivation has stalled at the seventh level of Qi training, but he still occupies two mentors at the peak of foundation building and has better cultivation resources, which naturally makes many disciples very unhappy.
Therefore, when verbal provocation was useless, these disciples used various channels to make an issue on this matter.
They wanted to take away Mu Xingchen's privileges in cultivation resources, make his cultivation slower, and completely turn him into a laughing stock.
However, no matter how these disciples struggled, the elders of Tianyan Sect were surprisingly unanimous on this matter. Not only did Mu Xingchen's privileges not diminish at all, some disciples even heard that Mu Xingchen enjoyed even more privileges.
Mu Xingchen's background is prominent, but that is the mortal world!
Mu Xingchen’s spiritual roots are rare, but his cultivation is slow!
Why should we give him such good cultivation resources?
If these cultivation resources are given to other disciples, even if they are equally distributed among all disciples, it will be far better than wasting it on Mu Xingchen!
The sect is so partial, which is unbearable for both my uncle and my aunt!
Finally, unable to bear it anymore, those provocative Sirius disciples took the step of resorting to force.
The Tianyan Sect's sect rules state that private fights between fellow sects are strictly prohibited. After all, everyone is a practitioner, far beyond the scope of ordinary gentlemen. Wouldn't it be wrong to use hands and feet every day, causing the nose to be bruised and the face to be swollen?
An insult to elegance? Oh no, an insult to celestial beings.
However, since the disciples of the Tianyan Sect need to hone their fighting skills, fighting is an indispensable part. Although the Tianyan Sect provides its disciples with ferocious beasts, evil spirits, and puppets as opponents to hone their combat skills, it also uses some
A special method opens up the martial arts battle between disciples.
On Wutai is one of them.
The martial arts platform, as the name suggests, is a special place where Tianyan sect disciples can openly discuss martial arts. The name sounds very elegant, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a place where Tianyan sect members fight with each other.
Here, disciples can fight with each other without any scruples.
The reason why we can have no scruples is that not only is there a powerful formation protection here to ensure that those who discuss martial arts will not hurt innocent people, but also there are elders of Tianyan Sect sitting in every martial arts discussion to ensure that there will be no major disputes among the disciples.
casualties.
On the martial arts stage, there is only one rule.
That is, a person with a high level of cultivation cannot challenge someone with a level two lower than his/her own level of cultivation without the consent of the other party. As for challenging someone with a level one level lower than his/her level of cultivation, that is absolutely prohibited by the Tianyan Sect. Because,
It is not an exaggeration to say that the gap between great realms is a natural chasm.
On the other hand, if a person with a low cultivation level does not overestimate his own abilities and wants to challenge someone whose cultivation level is two or more realms higher than his own, as long as both parties agree, Tianyan Sect will allow it.
After all, for the senior leaders of Tianyan Sect, it is a good thing that their disciples are diligent and courageous and dare to challenge themselves beyond the ranks.
Mu Xingchen was challenged like this.
Even if the martial arts platform is challenged, it can be rejected, and Tianyan Sect has no shortage of such precedents. However, such challenges must be made public to the entire sect. If the person being challenged refuses, he will often be looked down upon by the disciples of Tianyan Sect.
, it may even affect the Taoist mind.
Therefore, Mu Xingchen did not refuse.
Mu Xingchen didn't want to refuse either.
Mu Xingchen never bothered to respond to verbal provocations. A contemptuous look was enough to make the other party abandon his armor.
However, Mu Xingchen was very interested in the challenge on the martial arts stage.
The battle in the palace when he was twelve years old had already completely aroused the bloody, ferocious and murderous nature in Mu Xingchen's chest.
Since then, although he has often fought against others, his opponents were all sparring partners in the house, and he could not show his true intentions. What's more, it was in the mortal world and he used secular martial arts.
Since entering Tianyan Sect to practice, Mu Xingchen has always been protected by the elders of the sect because he has two spiritual roots. Even when he fights with ferocious beasts, evil spirits, etc., he is always looked after by the elders of the sect, which makes Mu Xingchen always feel that he has more to do.
.
Now, when he was challenged on the martial arts stage, Mu Xingchen could just give it a go and have a good fight. Moreover, he also wanted to use this to establish his authority.
Mu Xingchen wants to establish his authority within the sect. Only in this way can he obtain more and better cultivation resources for himself.
Mu Xingchen also wanted to use this to establish prestige for his family.
Since the Immortal Cultivation Sect came into the world thirty years ago, although secular people still respect the imperial power, a large part of their respect for the imperial power has been transferred to the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
For many mortal families, if there are children in the family who can enter the immortal sect, their status in the secular world is often higher. The higher the cultivation and status of the children who enter the celestial sect from the mortal world, the higher the status of these children in the celestial sect.
Their status usually rises with the tide.
When Mu Xingchen was directly selected into the Tianyan Sect with his dual spiritual root qualifications, for a long period of time, Mu Tianhao's power was almost at its peak in the entire Tianlang Dynasty.
However, as news of Mu Xingchen's slow progress in cultivation gradually spread back to the Tianlang Dynasty, although Mu Tianhao's status was still respected, his prestige was no longer the same as when Mu Xingchen first entered the Tianyan Sect.
When the progress of Mu Xingchen's cultivation completely stopped three years ago, the Tianlang Dynasty, like the other three heavenly kings, became a little cold when facing Mu Tianhao. Especially those who have children in the family with Tianyan
Those who practice sect and surpass Mu Xingchen in cultivation even begin to show some sense of superiority in front of Mu Tianhao.
Therefore, Mu Xingchen must establish his authority.
