Volume 3 The War of the Rising Sun Chapter 234: The Grand Meeting of Zhongzhou
About three days later, many monks came to Lundao City one after another.
The monks from Huajian Sect and Corpse Refining Sect have also arrived, and now all the monks from the seven sects in Zhongzhou have also arrived.
It looks like everyone here is in harmony, but secretly they are at odds with each other and are full of gunpowder.
Some are to prepare for revenge, some are because of sect grievances, and some are...
Generally speaking, in Lundao City, there is a very strange atmosphere permeating the city at this time, but because of the opening of the Zhongzhou Lundao Association, a harmonious situation has been temporarily maintained.
The Zhongzhou Forum on Taoism has always been jointly sponsored by the Dan Alliance and the Fu Master Association. As two transcendent forces in Zhongzhou, they have never participated in the struggle for hegemony in Zhongzhou. However, no force in Zhongzhou dares to underestimate these two forces.
The Alchemy Alliance is a holy place in the hearts of the alchemists in Zhongzhou, while the Talisman Masters Association is a holy place in the hearts of the monks who practice the way of practicing talismans and formations in Zhongzhou.
Because the Talisman Masters Association was originally established by a group of people who practiced talismans, it is still called the Talisman Masters Association.
In addition, there are three major neutral families co-organizers, these three families are the Luo family, the demon-slaying family, the Gan family, the alchemy family, and the Liu family, the weapon-refining family.
Most of the volunteers here are from these five factions, and some casual cultivators who voluntarily participated have also been recruited to help.
In fact, among these forces, there is another representative, that is, every time the Zhongzhou Taoism Forum is held, a casual cultivator from Zhongzhou will be invited. This casual cultivator also needs to have high moral standing and profound cultivation.
Mainly for the sake of the casual cultivators in Zhongzhou who come to participate in the competition, and to prevent some forces from operating in secret because of their power.
In this way, with a highly respected casual cultivator sitting here, some forces did not dare to go too far, and it also calmed the hearts of all the casual cultivators participating in the competition.
After all, the group of casual cultivators is very large. Seeing that the casual cultivators are very loose, if they really want to bully the casual cultivators, they will be enemies of all the casual cultivators in Zhongzhou.
There are also some people among casual cultivators who are lucky enough to defy fate, but most of them don't care about worldly affairs and live in seclusion.
But the personal strength that can climb up from being a casual cultivator is very tyrannical.
As the day of the Zhongzhou Taoism Conference approaches, the monks who come to participate in the competition have paid their spiritual stones and other fees early. For those like Jiang Tian who follow the sect, all expenses are paid by the sect.
If you are not a monk who is here to participate in the competition, but you want to watch the monks compete in the Zhongzhou Forum, you will also need to pay some spiritual stone fees.
The collection of spiritual stones is mainly to make up for some of the consumption that occurred during the Zhongzhou Forum, and the efforts of volunteers such as the organizer and co-organizer cannot be wasted.
With the arrival of the major forces, all the inns in Lundao City were full, and many monks were temporarily waiting outside the city.
In these days, at the summit square of Lundao Mountain, some monks of various attributes, mainly earth attribute monks, as well as some formation masters from the Talisman Master Association, began to be busy.
The day before the Zhongzhou Forum on Taoism began, several large light curtains finally appeared in the square.
As several array mages began to test and determined that there were no problems, they turned off these light curtains.
Nowadays, many wide terraces have been added around the square.
This is to accommodate the representative teams of various forces, as well as some seats for monks who spend spiritual stones to come here to watch the competition.
The next day, each force, led by volunteers, came to their own areas and took their seats.
The seven major powers of the Seven Sects of Zhongzhou, as well as the two holy places of the Dan Alliance and the Talisman Masters Association, are naturally located in the most conspicuous positions.
Next are the three big aristocratic families, and some of the forces behind them are also seated one by one according to their strength. Next to them are some small families and casual cultivators.
However, there is also a seat second only to the three major aristocratic families. This position requires a huge amount of spiritual stones to be seated here. However, there is also a vacant seat that is better than the three major aristocratic families. There have been no seats available.
Very conspicuous.
At this time, the square on Lundao Mountain was already crowded with people. Some monks did not buy seats, so they could only stand and watch.
The surrounding stands were now bustling with people, and some familiar monks had already started chatting.
"I remember that the number one team in the last session was probably from Jiqiao Pavilion!"
"That's right, I don't know which force ranks first in the group this time!"
"I think it has to be the Shengyang Sect. It was a little worse in the last year and ended up finishing second among a group. It's a pity!"
"It's not like you don't know that with the situation of Shengyang Sect in the recent period, it would be great if we can keep the second place and not fall behind!"
"Yes! I heard that their supreme elder is dying. Now they have lost several cities in a row, and the situation is worrying! I wonder if this Zhongzhou Taoism Conference can boost morale!"
"Don't say that! Although there have been a lot of wars recently, many monks have emerged from these sects and have shown their talents in the wars!"
"I also heard that the leader of the Alchemy Alliance has recruited a new disciple. I heard that the alchemy skills are very impressive!"
"You're talking about Jin Rui! I've heard about it too. I met him last time when I participated in the alchemy master certification. He's really good at alchemy. I heard he came from the disciples of Elder Tong Tianlu of Shengyang Sect!"
"Who is Tong Tianlu of Shengyang Sect!"
"Brother, it seems that you don't know much about elixirs. You are ignorant, aren't you? This elder Tong Tianlu just refined a spiritual elixir with elixirs!"
"It's true that I am ignorant. I also came here from afar to see the grand event of the Zhongzhou Taoism Forum! The elixir of Danjie is amazing!"
"Currently, only the leader and deputy leader of the Alchemy Alliance can refine it, but this is amazing. He is one of the few alchemy masters in the Alchemy Alliance!"
"Thank you bro for clarifying my doubts!"
"I just don't know how this Jin Rui compares with the eldest daughter of the Gan family, a famous alchemy family?"
"I've also heard that the eldest lady of the Gan family has refined a kind of animal fire not long ago. Alchemy skills are already good, but with the addition of animal fire, this alchemy competition is quite interesting!"
"That's not true! I also heard that many monks from Liyuan were invited to help out this time!"
"Liyuan! I heard that the monks there are all versatile. Generally, only some big powers can afford to hire them during their celebrations!"
"I heard that several famous actors in Liyuan have also been invited this time!"
…
Just as everyone was chatting and gossiping with each other, two figures began to walk out of the square.
One is Elder Pan from the Dan Alliance whom Jiang Tian has met, and the other is heard to be an elder named Zhuge from the Talisman Master Association.
The two people began to step forward to preside over the ceremony, but as soon as the two elders came on stage to speak, a group of monks suddenly went up the mountain and arrived here in full view of the public.
They were all dressed in black and red clothes, and wore a black bird badge on their shoulders. The monks leading them had a strong aura.
Although this team was small in number, the few people leading it caused a commotion among some Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishment monks.
"Isn't this the owner of Zhuye Island? Why is he here!"
"Yes! I heard that he has been at Zhuye Island in Lihai Lake?"
"Isn't that one a Taoist Wuchen who is a loose cultivator in the late Jindan period? I heard that I heard a news the last time that he was working as a national preceptor in a mortal kingdom. I haven't heard anything about him since."
"That middle-stage golden elixir monk seems to be practicing as well. He's quite famous. He seems to be called Divine Eye Archer Liu Bubai!"
"Yes, yes, that's him!"
…
In the stands, the leader of the Seven Sects of Zhongzhou looked at the group of twenty or thirty people, especially the leader of the Zhuye Island. After feeling his aura, his eyes froze.
This feeling can only be felt by the Supreme Elder in the sect. Although the master of Zhuye Island has been famous for a long time, I vaguely remember that he was only in the late stage of Jindan at that time.
Feeling his current momentum now, he must have entered the Nascent Soul stage.
I saw the owner of Bamboo Leaf Island walking over, his aura showing a little, and suddenly some of the Golden Core Stage monks in the surrounding stands showed horrified expressions.
"Nascent Soul Stage Monk!"
At this time, Elder Pan and Elder Zhuge, who were presiding on the stage, did not seem to be surprised at all. They hurriedly came to greet them and shouted respectively.
"It turns out that senior Gongshu is here!"
"Please take a seat quickly!"
At this time, some Qi Refining stage monks in the stands heard the speeches of the two elders on the stage. Anyone who could be so respectfully called a senior by the two Jindan stage elders must have entered the Nascent Soul stage.
Then a volunteer came down from the stage and took the owner of Zhuye Island and his party to the previously vacant seat to sit down.
Elder Pan and Elder Zhuge looked at each other, and then Elder Pan stepped forward to explain to everyone.
"Dear fellow Zhongzhou comrades, this person is Senior Lord Loser of Bamboo Leaf Island. I believe everyone already knows about it!"
"This time, senior uncle was entrusted by another senior to bring their people over to participate in the competition at the Central Continent Forum!"
"Who is this senior?" A voice suddenly came from the stands.
"Yes! Yes!" Another voice said in agreement.
"It is not convenient for this senior to show up at the moment, so I asked senior Gongshu to come over." Elder Pan replied.
"Isn't it inappropriate to come here to compete now?" Qiu Ping'an, the master of the Death-killing Hall in the Soul Return Hall, said.
This Qiu Ping'an is also a late-stage Golden Elixir monk, and is the leader of the team responsible for the soul's return to the palace.
"What Brother Qiu said is that it's almost opening now!" the late-stage Jindan monk from the Corpse Refining Sect also said.
"According to the regulations, as long as the Zhongzhou Taoist Competition has not started yet, as long as there are monks from Zhongzhou over, they can participate. It is acceptable. Moreover, the leader of our Dan Alliance and the president of the Talisman Master Association have also spoken in advance!" Pan
The elder said neither humble nor arrogantly.
Originally, the two of them and some other monks had expressed their opinions, but after hearing that the leader of the Dan Alliance and the president of the Talisman Master Association had already spoken, they couldn't say anything more.
What's more, there is also a Nascent Soul Stage monk in this group of people. Looking at the situation, don't be shy.
"You two! Do you have any opinions?" At this time, Elder Zhuge of the Talisman Master Association also started to speak.
Hall Master Qiu from the Soul Return Hall and the monk from the Corpse Refining Sect sat down one after another and agreed.
"Now that things have been arranged, I will take the first step and leave this place to Wuchen and Liu Bubai! See you next time, you two!"
Seeing that there was nothing going on here, the Lord of Zhuye Island, Shanpan, said to the two people presiding over the square.
Then he transmitted a few words to Taoist Wuchen and Liu Bubai, then moved towards the place going down the mountain, disappearing here in a few flashes.
Although this small episode occurred at the beginning of the opening ceremony of the Zhongzhou Dao Forum, it did not affect it. It was just that everyone was confused about the origin of which team just now. Under the auspices of two elders, the Zhongzhou Dao Forum
The opening ceremony of the meeting officially begins.
Immediately, there was thunderous applause from the audience, and then the sound of spirit-killing cannons sounded, and then there were some spirit birds flying in the air, forming many formation patterns that were instantly beautiful.
Although everyone present is a cultivator, some entertainment items are naturally indispensable during cultivation. As the spiritual birds in the sky gradually receded, a singing and dancing team appeared in the square.
As soon as the monks below saw the singing and dancing team on the field, they began to shout excitedly at the top of their lungs.
"Biyang! Biyang!"
