Chapter 67: Ten Thousand Mountains, Mysterious Heavy Qi
"Master Dean, does Senior Mei have any beef with that senior from the Wuji Sword Sect?"
Seeing the previous scene, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Well, the two of them do have some issues."
Mei Xiaohan nodded: "I know the person from Wuji Sword Sect, his name is Xue Zhanfen. I have fought against Mei Xinghuan several times, but I was defeated by Mei Xinghuan all the time."
"But when Mei Xingkun mentioned this person to me later, he also said that Xue Zhanfen was difficult to deal with. He even almost lost to the opponent several times."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen nodded clearly.
As expected, no one from the four major sects is simple.
Taking this opportunity, Mei Xiaohan began to introduce the other three sect figures to Ye Qingchen.
"Over at Qingyun Dao Palace, the red-robed elder sitting in front is named Zhang Tianqi. It is said that he has the cultivation of the early stage of Xuanyin Realm and is the great elder of Qingyun Dao Palace."
Mysterious hidden realm!
Ye Qingchen's heart skipped a beat.
This is the first time he has seen a "hidden master" with the cultivation level of Xuanyin Realm!
Even Mei Xiaohan, who is standing next to him at the moment, has not reached the Mysterious Hidden Realm!
It is worthy of being one of the four major sects, Qingyun Taoist Palace!
"Those two from the Tianji Sect are a pair of twin brothers. The one on the left is the elder brother, named Zhong Jizhou. The one on the right is his younger brother, named Zhong Xianliang. I heard that in the Tianji Sect, they are the principal and deputy sect masters of Wumen respectively.
"
"Both of these two are at the tenth level of the Sky Realm. Although they have not yet reached the Xuanyin Realm, if the brothers join forces, they can compete head-on with the strong men in the early stage of the Xuanyin Realm!"
Ye Qingchen looked at it in shock.
It is indeed as Mei Xiaohan said.
The two middle-aged men do look somewhat similar.
The auras on their bodies were indeed not as strong as Zhang Tianqi's, but they still gave off a vague sense of danger.
"As for Xue Zhanfen from Wuji Sword Sect, his cultivation level is the same as Mei Xingkun's, both are at the second level of Xuanyin Realm. His status in Wuji Sword Sect is also not low."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen suddenly asked curiously:
"Then what position does Senior Mei hold in Cangming Jiange?"
Upon hearing this question, Mei Xiaohan suddenly snorted angrily and his beard stood up.
"This guy is idle all day long and doesn't care about the trivial matters in Cangming Jiange. The sword pavilion only gave him a position to serve the elders."
"You know, Jiange originally planned to give him the position of great elder, but this kid didn't want it!"
Ye Qingchen: "..."
He didn't expect Mei Xingkun's acting style to be so unique.
Instead of sitting in the position of great elder, I am willing to be a serving elder without any real power.
"Forget it, let's not mention that brat."
Mei Xiaohan waved his hand.
At this time, an old man wearing a white robe suddenly appeared on the forum.
The old man in white robe looked around and said loudly:
"Dear friends, my name is Qu Yiyan, and I am the supervising elder of this 'Battle of the Hundred Courtyards'."
Qu Yiyan clasped his fists and said with a smile: "The rules of this 'Battle of Hundreds' are still the same as before, divided into 'Chasing the Hundreds', 'Points Tournament' and 'Elimination Tournament'."
The Hundred Competition is to eliminate the top 100 participating disciples from all colleges.
In the points competition, the top 100 people are divided into two groups, one group is 50 people. The elders of Qingyun Taoist Palace draw lots to arrange each disciple's opponent.
Each disciple in the group will compete in a single round-robin battle to defeat the opponent and gain points. The higher the points, the higher the ranking.
Then, the top 16 from each group were selected, and a total of 32 participating disciples entered the knockout rounds.
For them, the knockout rounds will be even more cruel.
Because once defeated, there will be no chance!
Whoever can win the first place will be famous all over the world!
"After discussions between the elders of my Qingyun Taoist Palace and the elders of Qingyun College, this time the location of the 'Hundred Races' will be located in the 'Ten Thousand Mountains Realm'."
"'Ten Thousand Mountains Realm', what is that?"
Facing the confused expressions of everyone below, Qu Yiyan patiently explained:
"The 'Ten Thousand Mountains Realm' is one of the secret realms controlled by my Qingyun Taoist Palace."
"There are nearly ten thousand strange mountains growing in this realm, which contain a strange aura that can suppress the aura of the participants and block the movement of their true energy."
"We call it 'Xuan Zhongqi'."
"In addition, we will increase the degree of suppression of 'Xuan Zhongqi' on the mountain set as the end point, so as to better test the potential of the participants who want to reach the peak."
Hearing this, everyone present had strange expressions on their faces.
It is already difficult enough for the still young disciples to break through the existence of this "Xuan Zhongqi".
As a result, when we climbed to the peak, we actually had to face the strengthened "Xuan Zhong Qi"!
This is clearly not called a test, this is called making things difficult!
"But please rest assured, our Qingyun Dao Palace's test will not be too cruel."
"What I have in my hand now is a teleportation talisman that can teleport out of the secret realm. As long as I crush it, I can teleport myself out of the secret realm."
"But in that case, it would be equivalent to giving up your qualification to participate in the war."
"Next, the war participating academy that I called, please let your participating disciples come on stage. After passing the age test stone test, if they meet the age range of under twenty-three years old for participating in the war, they can enter the portal with the teleportation talisman.
"
Qu Yiyan waved his hand, and a portal appeared beside him.
At the same time, a jade stone emitting a faint light appeared in his hand.
This is what he calls the "age stone".
"Xueyang College, please come on stage!"
"Fengyun Academy, please come on stage!"
…
As time went by, Qu Yiyan called more and more academies, and more and more disciples entered the secret realm to participate in the war.
And he read them out in order from lowest to highest in the college rankings.
In this way, allowing the lower-ranked disciples participating in the battle to enter the secret realm first can be considered an advantage given to them.
"Nandou Academy! Please come on stage!"
What Qu Yiyan was announcing at this moment was Nan Dou College, which ranked fourth in the college rankings.
When she heard this name, Mei Xiaohan frowned and whispered to the people behind her:
"You should pay attention to this Nan Dou Academy."
"I heard that they have absorbed many talented disciples in the past two years, which poses a great threat to us."
"Among those disciples, there are probably some geniuses who are capable of enlightenment!"
Ye Qingchen and others nodded immediately.
Their most important opponent in this war is Qingyun College.
But this does not mean that they should ignore other potential opponents.
"Xuanyu Academy, please come on stage!"
When all ten disciples of Nandou Academy entered the secret realm, Qu Yiyan read out the name of Xuanyu Academy.
"It's our turn."
Yun Jiao stood up first, followed by Ye Qingchen and others.
"Go, your future is destined to be bright and dazzling!"
Mei Xiaohan chuckled lightly, and with his palms together, a breath of air lifted them to the forum.
After boarding the forum and waiting for Yunjiao and the others to enter the secret realm, Ye Qingchen pressed his palms on the age measuring stone.
Suddenly, he felt a breath entering his body, testing his bones.
"The bone age is seventeen. If you meet the requirements, let's go in."
Qu Yiyan said calmly and gave him a secret teleportation talisman.
Ye Qingchen nodded. As soon as he took the secret teleportation talisman, he suddenly felt a gaze full of murderous intent staring at him.
Ye Qingchen turned around and saw Xi Haoyue staring at him coldly!
"Oh, do you want to collect your debt in a hurry? I'll wait!"
Ye Qingchen sneered secretly and immediately stepped into the portal.
As soon as he entered the portal, a dazzling light filled the world in front of Ye Qingchen.
He couldn't help but close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a deserted grassland.
“Is this the ‘Ten Thousand Mountains Realm’?”
Ye Qingchen looked around, and there were indeed many mountains standing not far away.
And in the very distance of sight, there was a pillar of light rising into the sky from a mountain peak.
Obviously, this is the "end point" set by the elders of Qingyun Dao Palace.
"It seems that it was teleported randomly and did not give the disciples a chance to unite."
Ye Qingchen found that there was no one around him, and he couldn't feel the slightest breath.
Just as he was about to raise his feet and run towards the mountain peak, his shoulders suddenly sank.
A strangely heavy aura is suppressing him!
Even the speed at which he circulates his Qi is somewhat sluggish!
"Is this the 'Xuan Zhongqi' that the war supervisor elder called..."
Just as Ye Qingchen was about to activate his true energy to resist this "Xuanzhong Qi", he suddenly felt a faint light emitting from the sword veins in his body.
Then he felt a sudden lightness on his shoulders.
The heavy feeling like there was something heavy pressing on my shoulders disappeared!
"Can the 'Yucang Sword Veins' ignore the 'Xuan Zhongqi'?!"
This discovery made Ye Qingchen very happy.
The existence of "Xuan Zhong Qi" will not only hinder the actions of all disciples participating in the battle, but will also increase their consumption of true energy.
There is no doubt that this will cause great difficulties for their subsequent climb to the peak.
However, he did not need to consume his true energy at all and simply ignored the existence of "Xuan Zhong Qi"!
What a huge advantage this will be for him!
"In that case, let's move forward quickly!"
Ye Qingchen grinned slightly, unleashed all his energy, and rushed out like an arrow from a string!
A quarter of an hour later.
Ye Qingchen came to a forest.
During this period of time on the road, he met many disciples participating in the battle who could not hold on to the "Xuan Zhongqi" and used the secret teleportation talisman.
Obviously, they can no longer support it!
At this time, Ye Qingchen, who was advancing at full speed, suddenly stopped.
He glanced at the weeds and trees around him, his eyes gradually becoming colder.
"Come out now, there's no point in hiding any more."
After Ye Qingchen finished speaking, six disciples slowly walked out of the surrounding grass and trees!
