Chapter 42: The Blue Out of the Blue(1/2)
"Sir, please drink a glass of water."
While Wang Lu was struggling in the special training from hell, the atmosphere in the pink building at Lingchi Peak was bleak for the Wanfa Xianmen Communication Team.
Zhan Ziye's defeat in the semi-finals was beyond everyone's expectations. The rare genius who was regarded by everyone in the Immortal Sect as the hope of the sect for the next few hundred years actually lost. He lost to a person who had been practicing for the same amount of time but whose background was not as good as his own.
A silly and cute girl, if you don't witness it with your own eyes, it will be difficult for anyone to believe her.
The failure of this battle brought an almost devastating morale blow to the disciples of Wanfa Xianmen. The group could not even remember how they returned to the Pink Building from the Yunlu rooftop. They only remembered that after regaining consciousness, the five masters
The brothers were all pale and speechless.
After all, Hai Yunfan had the best mentality. After sighing, he even forgot about the hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones he had tragically lost, and took on the role of an encourager for the team.
He was not in a hurry to talk about the wonderful but tragic battle. He just poured a cup of hot water for each senior brother and sister, fetched a few plates of snacks, and talked about insignificant gossip, relaxing the atmosphere little by little... but the effect was not enough.
Well, it seems that everyone has been hit too hard, and simple methods can no longer work.
And just when Hai Yunfan was considering whether to seek help from the elders, he heard the elder brother speak.
"This time, I failed everyone."
Zhan Ziye's voice was heavy, but still had the power to infect people's hearts. Ye Feifei and others who were in a daze were woken up.
"I am convinced that I lost. My opponent is stronger than me. I lost the battle and I have nothing to say. In the past few years, I have been complacent in the immortal sect. I just thought that although the world is big, there are only a few worthy opponents...
…It’s really like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.”
As Zhan Ziye spoke, he shook his head to his junior brothers and sisters who were trying to comfort him: "After the battle, I have deduced it hundreds of times in my mind. Even if Liulixian doesn't come up with a new trump card, just relying on her existing abilities and
I have played, and I have won at most ten games out of a hundred. There is a real gap in strength between the two sides... I really don’t know how she practices."
In fact, why do Zhan Ziye need to say these words? Anyone who witnessed that battle can see that Liulixian's strength is really superior to her opponent. She perfectly covered the defense with the ever-changing shape of the sword's heart.
He lacked strength, and his mind was clear during the battle, and he was not disturbed by anything, so he was completely invulnerable. Although Zhan Ziye was defeated by only one move, the distance between this move was real, and it was not due to luck or anything like that.
Caused by accidental factors.
However, realizing this makes people even more discouraged. Everyone came with the mentality of crushing them, but now they were crushed on the stage. The senior brother even gave up on himself. For a while, even the seal of the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Sect appeared on the stage.
The pride in his bones was shaken. He thought that the current generation of disciples was enough to stand at the top of the Kyushu Immortal Realm, but now he saw that there were still people above the top... It was as if he was seeing an unknown sky that he had never thought of.
People are afraid of things.
However, at this moment, Zhan Ziye showed a smile that made his junior brothers and sisters feel at ease.
That was the smile that showed when he, as the senior brother, stood up whenever he encountered difficulties in the Immortal Sect.
"The Wanfa Immortal Sect is not an arrogant and lawless barbaric sect. We are scholars, and what are the principles of scholarship?"
The juniors subconsciously answered: "Discover the unknown, understand the unknown, and predict the unknown."
"That's right, so for those who are stronger than us, we should take the initiative to learn and improve ourselves with an exploratory mentality."
"Well……"
"So I'm going to talk to Liuli Xian about my experience in cultivating immortals. Junior brothers and sisters, please have a good rest."
Zhan Ziye said in a deep voice, turned into lightning and headed towards Tongming Peak, leaving behind a group of stunned disciples.
Zhan Ziye rode the lightning and headed straight for Tongming Peak. However, just halfway, Zhan Ziye's expression changed.
Ahead, master Yuan Chaonian's mana wave came faintly, blocking his way. This was the master's silent reminder to himself that this road was blocked.
Zhan Ziye was full of annoyance: Master is actually at Tongming Peak? And why is he stopping him? What a great opportunity for learning and exchange this is! As a master, how can he stop his disciples from sincerely studying?
On the other side, on Tongming Peak, Yuan Chaonian shook his head and smiled: "My incompetent disciple made several elders laugh."
In front of him were the second elder Liu Xian, the fourth elder Zhou Ming and the ninth elder Hua Yun of the Spirit Sword Sect.
After the two semi-finals, the defeat of Wanfa Xianmen was determined, and the original arrogance disappeared immediately. Naturally, the matter of being entrusted by Shengjing was treated as if it had never happened, and the exchange activities between the two factions were finally on the right track.
Yuan Chaonian's trip to Tongming Peak was also a gesture of goodwill on behalf of the sect. Although he himself was angry, among the three elders in the group, he was the only one with the emotional intelligence to handle this situation. It would have been better to replace the other two.
People must fight with people on Tongming Peak. The topic of communication during Yuan Chaonian's trip was the education of the disciples of the sect.
Once they started talking about it, Yuan Chaonian realized that he had indeed underestimated the Spirit Sword Sect before. These elders may not be as good as him in cultivation, but they each had their own strengths in educating disciples, which benefited them a lot, and... they had to admit, they
The gesture is better than what I did.
Liu Xian said: "Elder Yuan is too self-effacing. After eight years of practice, that boy Zhan Ziye has understood everything and mastered the Immortal Kung Fu Five Thunder Sutra to such a level. Few people in this world can match his qualifications and understanding.
.”
"The sect indeed has high hopes for him. Ever since that incident seventeen years ago, there have been an endless stream of geniuses cultivating immortals in the Nine Provinces, but there are only a few who can truly lead the future of Wujue. We, the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Sect, are quite lucky to have Yi Zhan Ziye.
, but I don’t want your Spirit Sword Sect’s gains to be greater than ours.”
Yuan Chaonian said with some envy: "The Spirit Sword Sect is now at the bottom of the five top sects, but with a genius like Liuli Xian, it should be able to advance one or two places in a year."
Regarding Yuan Chaonian's so-called end of the Five Ultimate Skills, several elders of Lingjian did not comment, but Zhou Ming said: "Although Liu Lixian's child has good qualifications and understanding, he is not of a temperament that can take on big responsibilities. If the future of the sect is really placed on her,
, I’m afraid the Spirit Sword Sect will be finished in a hundred years.”
"Master, is the Spirit Sword Sect coming to an end?" As he spoke, Liulixian in a long dress floated over, her big eyes flashing with innocence, "Then what are we going to do about eating in the future?"
Zhou Ming scolded angrily: "You idiot, you just know how to eat it and then practice the flying sword incarnation for an hour...you are not allowed to come back before we finish talking."
The girl's little face suddenly drooped: "Oh, I understand."
After dealing with Liulician, Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I made Elder Yuan laugh."
Yuan Chaonian looked at Liuli Xian's retreating back with envy: "The heart is pure, and the whole body is like Liuli. With such qualifications, it is no wonder that he can inherit the ancient inheritance... But I think the sword's heart-clearing technique has a lot to do with the ancient inheritance.
The big difference is that several of the rumored weaknesses of Kenshin Tongmei have been skillfully compensated for."
Zhou Ming smiled but said nothing.
Yuan Chaonian added: "But I do understand what Elder Zhou said. With such a mind, one can certainly make great progress on the road to immortality, but he is incompetent as a leader of the sect... So, does your sect intend to seriously cultivate Wang Lu?"
When Wang Lu was mentioned, several elders present looked a little unnatural.
Yuan Chaonian said: "Compared to Liuli Xian, Wang Lu is indeed witty and versatile, but his methods are not the right way after all, and his cultivation is also far behind. Although he was lucky to win the first two times, to be fair, the kind that simply emphasizes defense and survival
Isn’t the cultivation method the right way?”
The faces of the elders were even weirder.
But Yuan Chaonian became more and more curious as he talked: "I heard that Wang Lu learned from Wuxiang Peak, and the master of Wuxiang Peak only has the cultivation level of Jindan. I think since Wang Lu has such advantages, even if his qualifications for cultivating immortals are not the best, there is no need to
Should he leave it to an incompetent master? What's more, Wang Lu is extremely talented and can take on big responsibilities in the future."
"Tch, you are incompetent." Ninth Elder Hua Yun heard Yuan Chaonian slandering her senior sister, and she was immediately annoyed. "After all, you are also an elder of the Five Jue, so why do you judge people based on their cultivation level? What happened to the golden elixir? I still beat you all over the floor.
tooth"
Yuan Chaonian was angry in his heart, but when he saw Hua Yun's face, which was full of anger but still beautiful and fragrant, his anger immediately dissipated.
Oh, maybe the woman in white has some special skills that I haven't noticed? But it would be too cowardly to just defend and survive. Even in the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Sect, the purely defensive technique has always been unpopular.
. Maybe the fifth elder really has some way to use his golden elixir cultivation to resist the magic of the god-transforming elder, but it is a joke to say that he will be beaten to pieces.
What's more, although Jiuzhou is huge, who dares to say that his defense is foolproof? One day, someone will find a flaw, and then there will be no room for mediation, so why bother? It's a pity that Wang Lu's child, his soul
Regardless of his qualifications, his understanding alone was enough to make Yuan Chaonian develop a love for talents, but now he has embarked on a wrong path.
If he hadn't obtained the status of a true successor, he would really want to join the Wanfa Immortal Sect. Among other things, among the Immortal Sect, both disciples and elders are generally weak in dealing with people, and they really need a resourceful and ever-changing person.
character. Now the boss is more optimistic about Hai Yunfan, but compared with Wang Lu, Hai Yunfan seems to lack a bit of flavor...
But the strange thing is that it is said that Wang Lu just asked someone from Xuantian Pavilion to place a bet not long ago and bet all his wealth on himself. How confident is he that he can win? The people from Xuantian Pavilion are not vegetarians and want to use tricks and deceptions.
Bet, even the Five Jue disciples can't bear the consequences. What on earth is he thinking?
Confused, Yuan Chaonian took the opportunity to ask.
Hua Yun replied: "We don't know either, but that boy Wang Lu will definitely not let himself suffer. He is a disciple taught by senior sister."
Yuan Chaonian couldn't help but ask again: "He is only at the top level of Qi training, how can he be stronger than Liuli Xian?"
Hua Yun said: "It's definitely not as good in theory, but after all, he is Wang Lu, and Xiao Liuli can't stand up to him... Oh, Fourth Senior Brother, don't mind."
Zhou Ming smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't have much confidence in Liuli either. That's all. If the fifth junior sister also taught Wang Lu that move, Liuli's idiot would really be in trouble this time."
Hua Yunqi said: "Isn't it possible? Doesn't it require the soul to be in a half-virtual and half-real state to use it? Wang Lu is still far away, isn't he? Moreover, the senior sister said that she alone cannot use that move, and no one else can even try it.
You don’t have to try it, but Wang Lu may be an exception. His temperament is similar to that of senior sister, which makes it hard to estimate."
Yuan Chaonian became more and more confused as he listened: The soul is half empty and half real? What is that for, to take the Oath of the Inner Demon? But what is the use of swearing the Oath of the Inner Demon? Although the Oath of the Inner Demon can be used as an equivalent transaction, but
Only the stronger the binding force, the more things are sacrificed, the better
The more valuable you are, the greater the compensation you will get. And this kind of compensation is mostly a permanent effect, so the short-term effect is limited. If you want to use this to make up for the huge gap in strength between the two sides in two days... how strong must this oath be?
?I’m afraid it will all be affected
It sounds like you can act normally and you can't play word games when your inner demon swears. The person who swears must recognize his sacrifice in his heart before he can be compensated. For example, if someone swears not to speak again in his life, but still speaks, and then says to him in his heart
Explain yourself, I don't mean to speak, I just utter some syllables. As for how these syllables are combined, that is the listener's business and has nothing to do with me... Congratulations, the next moment this person will be haunted by inner demons and die with a headshot. The inner demons are huge
You can't deceive yourself when taking an oath.
Thanks to Yuan Chaonian, who was born in a sect such as the Wanfa Immortal Sect, which is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he was able to think of these things in an instant. If he were an ordinary monk, he would never have thought of the inner demon vow. However, even Yuan Chaonian would never have expected it.
There are many ways to use the Heart Demon Oath.
