Qingyun Peak is one of the forbidden areas of Xiaoyao Sect. This place is deserted all year round and the mountains are steep. After years of accumulation, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is extremely abundant.
This time, the ten major disciples of Xiaoyao Sect will gather at Qingyun Peak. The sect master and the great elder have already arrived at Qingyun Peak.
The Eighteen Sects hold a martial arts tournament every ten years. In the last martial arts tournament, the disciples sent by the Xiaoyao Sect had extremely poor results, with no one among the top 100. This also created the worst record in the history of the Xiaoyao Sect.
A total of only 180 people participated. Xiaoyao Sect sent ten disciples to participate, but no one entered the 100th place. This means that it is difficult for Xiaoyao Sect's disciples to win.
The martial arts competition will greatly affect the ranking of each sect. Excellent disciples are the hope of a sect's future. This is the consensus of all sects. Therefore, in addition to recruiting disciples from Juying City, other sects will also send out
Special personnel are assigned to recruit talented disciples.
"The ten of you are the stars of hope for Xiaoyao Sect. This martial arts competition is very important. If any of you can be shortlisted in the top ten, then Xiaoyao Sect will not be able to continue to be ranked last among the eighteen sects.
.This time, our sect leader is full of confidence in you. Not to mention the top ten, there are at least several people who are strong enough to enter the top fifty..."
The sect leader looked around at everyone and said.
Everyone is confident and looking forward to this competition between the various sects.
In fact, there is no need for sect mobilization, everyone has secretly determined to fight for the glory of Xiaoyao Sect.
The sect leader didn't say much, and then asked the disciples to stay in Qingyun Peak to practice and prepare for the upcoming Eighteen Sects Competition.
"Ye Tian, come here."
The patriarch said.
Ye Tian followed the sect master and the great elder to the other side of Qingyun Peak, not knowing what they wanted to do with him.
"Ye Tian, with your strength, this sect leader predicts that you will enter the top ten in this martial arts competition."
The sect master said with a smile.
"The sect master has received the award. I heard that in other sects, there are many masters among the disciples. I don't dare to expect to be among the top ten."
Ye Tian humbly raised his hands and said.
"Ye Tian, do you think this sect leader should send you to fight?"
The sect leader suddenly asked.
Ye Tian was startled. The sect leader's words were too sudden. He must have a purpose in asking this.
"Disciples don't dare to have any opinions. Everything depends on the orders of the sect leader."
Ye Tian said without hesitation.
"Since you have no objection, this sect leader will disqualify you from participating in the competition this time."
The patriarch said.
"good!"
Ye Tian smiled slightly, not showing much interest in the competition between the Eighteen Sects.
"Besides, you need to keep it secret and not let others know that you are not participating in this competition."
The sect leader said again.
"I will definitely keep it a secret."
Ye Tian said with certainty.
"Ye Tian, why do you think the sect leader forbids you from competing?"
The great elder asked with a smile.
"I know a little bit. If I'm not wrong, the sect leader doesn't want Xiaoyao Sect's ranking to rise significantly. That's why ten of us will be banned from participating this time."
Ye Tian replied.
The sect leader was secretly shocked and asked calmly: "Ye Tian, how do you know that the other nine people will not participate?"
"If nine of them participate, I believe that Xiaoyao Sect's ranking may increase significantly, which is not what the sect leader wants to see. Therefore, I don't think the sect leader will send the top ten disciples to participate in the eighteen sects' competition."
Ye Tian said.
"Ye Tian, do you know why this sect leader doesn't want Xiaoyao Sect's ranking to rise?"
The sect master asked solemnly.
"The sect leader cares about Xiaoyao Sect and will definitely consider Xiaoyao Sect's vital interests. The ranking may look good, but in fact it is just a cloud! As the saying goes, if a big tree attracts wind, if Xiaoyao Sect suddenly improves its ranking significantly, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of other sects, and maybe it will
It will lead to unreasonable disasters. In addition to the threats from other sects, there are also four sects. With the current strength of Xiaoyao Sect, offending so many sects at the same time will have unimaginable consequences and a heavy price. Maybe the sect leader is not willing to see it."
Ye Tian said in a slow tone.
The sect master and the great elder looked at each other. They didn't expect that Ye Tian could analyze such a truth. As he said, the sect master really didn't want to put Xiaoyao Sect at the forefront, because it would make Xiaoyao Sect pay more.
price.
"Ye Tian, you are smarter than a fox. This time, the Great Elder will lead the team with a total of twenty disciples. At that time, the ten of you can take the opportunity to observe the competition, which is also good for you.
"
The patriarch said.
Soon, the little devil also appeared on the side of Qingyun Peak. Ye Tian understood the good intentions of the sect leader. This time he was not ready to show the powerful strength of Xiaoyao Sect disciples. In order to eliminate the negative emotions in the hearts of the disciples, the sect leader decided to convey the message one by one.
information.
The great elder gave each person a hermit cultivation pill to hide their cultivation. In this way, the great elder personally led twenty disciples to the eighteen sects' competition.
Ye Tian had to admire the sect master's forbearance. He did not send out ten to twenty disciples, but selected ten disciples who ranked outside the 100th rank in the Xiaoyao Sect. Among these people, the strongest ones were in the middle Yuan Gu period.
, the weakest one doesn’t even have the cultivation level of Yuan Gu stage.
Ye Tian finally understood the reason why Xiaoyao Sect ranked last among the eighteen sects. This was clearly done intentionally by Xiaoyao Sect. Otherwise, ranking last would not be an easy task.
In the Eighteen Sects Competition, almost all other sects sent elite disciples to participate. A total of 180 participating disciples were divided into upper and lower halves. The participating disciples of the nine sects at the bottom were all divided into
Lower half.
The Xiaoyao Sect was really low-key, and other sects also sent at least fifty disciples, but the Xiaoyao Sect had the smallest number of people. Even if they were provoked by other sects, the Xiaoyao Sect's disciples did not act rashly.
The Great Elder had a hot temper, and after holding back for a few days, he almost went into a rage several times.
Fortunately, Mr. Bai appeared in time, and the great elder chose not to be with the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect and watched the battle in a corner.
Mr. Bai always has a smile on his face and is indifferent to the world. People from other sects also know Mr. Bai. Except for a few words of ridicule and contempt, no one provokes Mr. Bai.
As the saying goes, if you don't hit someone with a smiling face, Mr. Bai will always have a smile on his face, and thus resolve a lot of hatred.
Among the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, in the first round of competition in the second half, only one person defeated his opponent and advanced to the next round. This also meant that only one person from Xiaoyao Sect entered the top 100.
The battle in the lower half of the area made Ye Tian want to vomit. Although other sects sent elite disciples to participate in the battle, their talents and strength really did not dare to be complimented by Ye Tian.
In the second round, the only disciple of Xiaoyao Sect was eliminated without any suspense.
Ye Tian found that the strength gap between the disciples in these eighteen sects was too big. For example, the disciples from the Yuan Gu period actually challenged the disciples from the Yuan Ji period. Such a disparity in the battle was really amazing, and it was often over with just one move.
fighting.
Of course, the weak are weaker and the strong are stronger. Ye Tian still discovered many masters, among whom there were many masters with Yuanji period cultivation, and there were even disciples who surpassed Yuanji period cultivation.
The more the competition went on, the more exciting it became. Ye Tian discovered that almost everyone had a high-grade magic weapon. It seemed that this high-grade magic weapon was not valuable at all. But having said that, just looking at the elders of these sects, Ye Tian knew that everyone was competing against each other.
degree of attention.
Xiaoyao Sect once again came in at the bottom without any suspense. Bai Lao was still smiling. The participating disciples were frustrated, but they felt lucky that they had the opportunity to participate in such a competition.
Ye Tian also has a certain understanding of the eighteen sects. According to the strength of the sect disciples, Xiaoyao sect can be ranked among the top five. There are weak sects, and the strongest disciples sent are those in the early Yuanji period.
It seems that Xiaoyao Sect's strength is pretty good, and it has at least several Yuan Ji period disciples.
As for the top three sects, the disciples they sent occupied the top ten. In the end, the first sect won the first place and occupied five places in the top ten. The other two sects combined to occupy five places.
And the ranking is still relatively low.
After the martial arts tournament ended, the great elder immediately led people back to Xiaoyao Sect.
Bai Laoze continued to the mortal world to find talented disciples for Xiaoyao Sect. Just when Ye Tian thought that he would stay in Liuyun Peak to practice alone, the sect leader suddenly made a shocking decision.
"The top ten disciples of Xiaoyao Sect will go to the Endless Forest from now on."
The sect master said solemnly.
When Ye Tian heard about the endless forest, he felt a little confused. There was no forest in the Eighteen Sects, so what kind of place was this endless forest?
"In the Endless Forest, there are many monsters and spirit beasts. When you go this time, you just appear on the outskirts of the Endless Forest. Even the outskirts of the Endless Forest are full of dangers. This sect leader hopes that you can quickly improve your cultivation and skills in the Endless Forest.
Combat experience. This dangerous journey will be your biggest test since you started. This sect leader has never sent disciples of Xiaoyao Sect to go there. This is the first time. I hope you can all pass the test of the Endless Forest."
The sect leader said slowly.
Everyone had never heard of the Endless Forest, and they were all curious, so they asked all kinds of questions, but the sect master patiently answered them.
"Sect Master, I think this decision is a bit too sudden. The Endless Forest is a terrifying place. I'm afraid they may not come back alive this time."
The great elder said worriedly.
"Great Elder, we have discovered the Endless Forest for twenty years and have established a stronghold there. This is an adventurous journey, but this sect leader believes that it will be of great help to their cultivation. A cultivator
If you don’t go through the test of life and death, I’m afraid it will be difficult to become a truly strong person!”
The patriarch replied.
"What the sect leader said makes sense. No other sect has discovered the Endless Forest. If we can make good use of the Endless Forest, it will be extremely effective in enhancing the cultivation of the disciples. This time, ten of them will go, and we will also send ten guardians to follow them.
