Chapter Thirty-Eight: Late Arrival
After sending off the old pavilion master of the [Haixi Pavilion], Chi Chao spent three days peacefully, and after his Dao realm was stabilized by meditation, he gradually approached the threshold of the fifth heaven.
On the fourth day, it was time for him to participate in the second selection.
Early in the morning, Chi Chao got up and dressed himself up like a Xiguo cultivator, wearing a Taoist robe, with a bamboo hairpin stuck in his head, and at the same time, the rogue knife that Xie Lingxiu gave him was hung by him on his waist, and when he went out, he looked no different from an ordinary Xiguo cultivator.
"You look good today." Walking outside the courtyard, it was the [Bichao Pavilion] pavilion master who was waiting outside.
"Why is the Pavilion Master here?" Chi Chao was a little surprised, he was not qualified to let the pavilion master of [Bichao Pavilion] personally guide him.
"Entrusted by men." Ji Zi'an replied simply, "Actually, you don't have to go at all."
Chi Chao knew that what Ji Zi'an said didn't need to go meant that he Chi Chao had already challenged his next contestant a few days ago to defeat, and now this one is still the same contestant, if he is really not stupid, he will not come forward again.
"Sure, I don't have to." Chi Yan smiled and walked out of the courtyard and said, "But someone wants to see me appear, doesn't they?"
Ji Zi'an hesitated for a moment, and then thought of the reason why Chi Chao said this.
"What do the four gentlemen plan to do with the results of the selection conference to enter my [Bichao Pavilion]?" On the way to escort Chi Chao, Ji Zi'an intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Chi Chao's intentions.
"Then it depends on how sure the Pavilion Master Ji thinks I am to defeat Xie Lingxiu, the daughter of the Xie family, the first person in this selection conference recognized by the people of the Xi Kingdom?"
Ji Zi'an couldn't answer for a while, on one side was a genius girl from Xiguo, who was only eighteen years old and stepped into the Dao Realm Four Heavens; On one side is the youngest four gentlemen of Guiguo, who entered the sword tower in the mountain behind Guiyuan at the age of sixteen, and learned the inheritance of the sword god in one year - [Haoran Qi]. It only took three months to cultivate the Dao Technique [Lang Keliu] of the Xi Kingdom to the high realm of the Dao Realm Four Heavens - [Breaking the Heavens].
Both sides have their own cultivation secret techniques, which can help them improve their original cultivation realm by one or two realms when they are fighting each other, who wins and who loses, and who will stand in the end, is not something that he Ji Zi'an can decide by his subjective assumptions.
The real result will only be revealed on that day.
"Xie Lingxiu, the daughter of the Xie family, recently reported that she has broken through the Dao Realm Four Heavens - [Breaking the Heavens], and now she is under the same Dao Realm Heaven as the Four Gentlemen, and the Four Gentlemen, you have to be prepared." Ji Zi'an suddenly revealed Xie Lingxiu's information to Chi Chao, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
"Dao Realm Quadruple Heaven?" Ji Yan frowned.
"The Four Gentlemen don't believe that she has reached the realm of the Dao Realm Four Heavens?"
"No! I think you're looking down on her." Chi Chao shook his head, looked at Ji Zi'an on the side, and said seriously, "Her true realm is probably not just the Dao Realm Four Heavens!"
"Not just the Dao Realm Four Heavens?" Ji Zi'an only felt that Chi Chao was joking, and then said, "If the four gentlemen think that her current Dao Realm is not only Dao Realm Four Heavens. Then why doesn't her name appear on the Immortal Bell on the [Bichao Pavilion] in my Xi Kingdom?"
There is a huge bronze bell hanging on the bell tower of [Bichao Pavilion], but it is not used to report the time for the students of [Bichao Pavilion], and many people's names are imprinted on this bronze bell.
However, if a cultivator penetrates the Dao Realm that exceeds the Dao Realm Fourfold Heaven [Breaking Heaven], the Immortal Bell will be branded with that person's name, and if that person also penetrates the Dao Realm of the Dao Realm Sevenfold Heaven [Luo Shengtian], the Immortal Bell will also have a ringing sound, which is widely known.
If Xie Lingxiu had ascended to the fifth heaven of the Dao Realm, [Luo Tian], then her name should appear above the Immortal Bell.
And Ji Zi'an would check the names on the Immortal Bell every day, looking at the names that had appeared before that had long been buried by rust, Ji Zi'an was only disappointed in his heart. That's why Ji Zi'an thinks that Xie Lingxiu's own Dao realm is only the fourth day - [Breaking the Sky].
It's just that in recent days, a new name has appeared on the Immortal Bell, but this one is new
The name brought a lot of confusion to Ji Zi'an.
That day, he went to check the Immortal Bell as usual, and there was an extra person's name on it out of thin air, and that name was only below Gu Qianhao, the [Haixi Pavilion] Young Pavilion Master.
I can't see the whole name.
The name that appears on the Immortal Bell is a "expensive" and a vague and illegible character.
There are only a handful of noble people in the world, and the first thing that comes to mind is the royal family of Guiguo.
The surname of Gui Guo is [Gui], could it be that this newly appeared person who has reached the Five Heavenly Dao Realm is from Gui Kingdom?
Ji Zi'an suddenly thought of someone in his heart, could it be Her Royal Highness Gui Dongdong, the eldest princess of Gui Kingdom? But that's impossible! Her Royal Highness Gui Dongdong, the eldest princess of Gui Kingdom, doesn't even have the qualifications to practice, this is known to everyone in Xi Kingdom, otherwise she would not be imprisoned in Xi Kingdom.
So who will be the owner of this sudden name?
You can clearly see that person's surname, but you can't see that person's name clearly, this situation is the first time that this situation has appeared on the immortal bell, Ji Zi'an saw the name of the person with the surname Gui after the layer of fog, and fell into deep thought.
What would be the word after the word "expensive"? Why is it so elusive? Perhaps, the following content can be inferred from that surname.
Ji Zi'an focused all his attention on the word "expensive", and the word "expensive" he saw was clever in the last two strokes of the word "bei".
The last two strokes of the word "expensive" are skimmed and pinched.
Skimming a stroke against the front right up the pen, lightly lifting the front to the right down the pen, the center line straight down gradually closed, and finally homeopathic to the right down the skimming, force to the tail end. The whole stroke looks like a sword inserted diagonally, the body of the sword is like the center, the tip of the sword is like the tail end, and the edge is exposed.
Stroke a stroke, lightly go down to the right, and wrap the front straight in. Gradually, the pen reaches the end of the painting, and suddenly turns to the upper left to return to the front. It looks like a short, sharp knife, and it is murderous.
Just a surname, it has two peculiar artistic conceptions, what kind of existence is the owner of that name?
"Just because her name doesn't appear on the Immortal Bell doesn't mean she doesn't have that qualification. Can't she deliberately not ascend her Dao Realm, when she needs to, the Ascension Dao Realm is just a moment." Chi Chao said his cognition, "Don't underestimate this daughter of the Xie family, a female stream can become the first person to be recognized by the selection conference, naturally there is a place where she is separated from ordinary people."
"Hmm."
After listening to Chi Chao's words, Ji Zi'an thought about it carefully and felt that what Chi Chao said was very right, Xie Lingxiu was a woman, and she could convince many cultivators in Xiguo, so naturally there was a place where she was beyond ordinary cultivators, and it was he who thought of her simply.
"I want to ask the four gentlemen, have you ever known a person with a very high and profound surname?" After saying Xie Lingxiu, Ji Zi'an told Chi Chao the unsolvable mystery he saw in the Immortal Bell.
"A person with a very deep surname?" Chi Chao didn't understand what Ji Zi'an meant when he said this.
"That's right."
"Why did the Pavilion Master ask me this question?" Ji Chao showed a puzzled expression.
"Because recently, a person's name appeared on the immortal bell of my [Bichao Pavilion]." Ji Zi'an explained.
"Why do you ask me when you know the name?"
"Because the name of the man who appeared on the Immortal Bell could only be seen by his surname, and his name was obscured by a cloud of black mist." Ji Zi'an told Chi Chao the strangeness of the name of the person who appeared unexpectedly.
"Among the people I know with the surname Gui, most of them are unable to practice, Emperor Gui, Gui Dongdong, and Emperor Gui's sons and daughters are all unable to practice. The only person I know who has a noble surname and can practice is Gui Ji Xiang, the daughter of Guiqiu, the king of Ningling."
Of all the people he knew, Chi Chao said that it was most likely the one on the Immortal Bell.
"But I don't think it's possible." Without waiting for Ji Zi'an to think about it, Chi Chao waved his hand and spoke again.
"Why?"
"Because, I just thought of someone." The person that Chi Chao thought of at this time was the most likely, and the probability was also the greatest, the person who could imprint his name on the [Bichao Pavilion] Immortal Bell, that person had the perfect six-mangled seal, and he had been ahead of many cultivators of the same generation since the beginning of his cultivation, with such a good talent, he could have been branded with the [Bichao Pavilion] Immortal Bell.
What's more, he is also a descendant of that person and has his unique bloodline heritage.
"Who?"
"I can't say!"
"Clams? Didn't the four gentlemen play me dumb riddles?" Ji Zi'an was a little annoyed, what could not be said.
"You will know in the future, that person will also grow up in the future, maybe he will let Gui Kingdom add another cultivator of the Saint Master Realm."
The person Chi Chao said was Chi Tang, as for why he learned the wanderer flow exercises of Xiguo, Chi Chao thought that when he searched [Yufangzhai], he found some secret books about Xiguo's cultivation exercises, and used them to learn.
"I think the four gentlemen should be able to climb the immortal bell soon and imprint their own names, right?" Ji Zi'an had just quietly sensed the Dao power aura in Chi Chao's body, and found that Chi Chao was almost close to the realm of the Dao Realm Five Heavens, [Luo Tian].
"No, it won't." Chi Chao suddenly replied pertinently, "At least until the last game of my battle with Xie Lingxiu, I will not ascend, but suppress my Dao Realm in the Fourth Heaven - [Heaven Breaking] Realm."
"The Four Gentlemen want to give those opponents a fair look?" Ji Zi'an felt that the Chi Chao in front of him was incomparably noble, and he deserved the name of the four gentlemen of Guiguo.
"No, if I were absolutely fair, I wouldn't be able to beat every opponent behind me!"
Chi Chao's answer made Ji Zi'an feel really embarrassed, and Ji Zi'an didn't know what to say for a while to praise Chi Chao's modesty.
