Chapter Thirty-Nine: A New Prosperity
"Yi Zhouyang had better not make any moves to cross the bottom line, otherwise don't blame us, if the master can really break through, maybe the relics of Brother Tian, which has been inherited by our Tianhua Sect for thousands of years, can be opened again, and it is not impossible for us to break through again, and then what is a Moon Worship Sect, we can even reproduce the prosperity of thousands of years ago and rule the world", Dai Tiande looked at Xie Tianxing with profound eyes.
"Have you heard about the changes in the Danyang Empire?" Xie Tianxing said suddenly.
"Elder Xu has already told me that over the years, since Jiang Bingkun launched a coup d'état twenty years ago, the power of the Danyang Empire has grown stronger and stronger, and even the Divine Sword Valley has to beware of three points, and now there are hundreds of thousands of troops between Danyang City and the Divine Sword Valley, and now Jiang Bingkun's ambition seems to be greater, and the four surrounding countries are all spent in fear, Xingyue, Taiwei, Tianyang, and Tianheng have already secretly asked for help from the Divine Sword Valley and us, if it weren't for the power of the Divine Sword Valley and us over the years, they would have been annexed by the Danyang Empire long ago," Dai Tiande said.
"I seem to have heard that there seems to be a shadow of the Moon Worship Sect in this?" Xie Tianxing said.
"This is what I'm worried about, in the past, the Divine Sword Valley was our biggest competitor, but now the threat of the Moon Worship Sect is even more dangerous, once the Danyang Empire expands rapidly, the Divine Sword Valley will definitely not be able to stand alone, the entire continent will fall into war, and then the Moon Worship Sect, the mastermind behind the scenes, will become the biggest winner", Dai Tiande has a deep vision.
"When the power of the Divine Sword Valley declines, our Tianhua Sect will be their next target", Xie Tianxing also saw the clues.
"Perhaps, we should start the deployment in advance, now that the three brothers and sisters of Jiang Heng have been able to take charge on their own, maybe it's time for them to experience and experience", Dai Tiande had an idea.
"Jiang Heng's words are the best choice, his special identity may be able to give Jiang Bingkun a fatal blow, but if all three of them go, how will the daily affairs of the sect be distributed", Xie Tianxing thought of Jiang Heng's identity.
"Zixu or stay for the time being, and let him temporarily take charge of the daily disciple training, and this matter will be left to Jiang Heng and Mengli", Dai Tiande said after thinking about it.
"In the past few years, Lin Zixu has also looked a little bit, he has been following Jiang Heng all these years, and he seems to be very willing to come out."
"Jiang Heng and Lin Zixu are both my disciples, how can I not understand, but in the future, only one of the two of them is destined to stand in this position, this is also a test for the two of them, Tianhua Sect is not an ordinary small sect, if you want to stand at the top, you must have extraordinary means and strength, otherwise how can we, the old bones, trust the fate of the sect to them in the future?" Dai Tiande clenched his fists.
"Right now, we're still ready to take on new things, and this time we're going to break our heads again," Xie Tianxing said.
In the past two days, all the newcomers have stayed temporarily, and some newcomers have arrived one after another, but it is almost harmless, and on the third day, the mountain gate is closed and no longer waiting for people on other roads.
After some registration and selection, except for those who are not strong enough and those who are over age, almost eighty percent of the disciples have stayed for the time being, and the most critical selection is coming, the Heavenly Rank Test, which is the tradition of the Tianhua Sect.
The nearly 1,000 disciples who stayed behind were taken to the Heavenly Rank Peak to undergo the Heavenly Rank test in turn, as long as all those below the fourth order were eliminated, all those who exceeded the seventh order were selected as potential disciples, and the others were ordinary disciples.
Countless newcomers looked at the bland Heavenly Rank, many of them couldn't feel the magic of the Heavenly Rank at all, only those who were gifted with Zhuo Jue were suddenly suppressed by the momentum of the Heavenly Rank and the coercion contained therein, this was the soul coercion of a Great Sage-level person.
As the three major disciples of Tianhua Peak, Jiang Heng and the three of them came here early to preside over the work, and they also wanted to see what the potential of these disciples was this year.
The strength of these disciples is uneven, and they are also in the Ning Yuan Realm, but the potential they show is very different, and almost thirty percent of the disciples can't even step on the fourth-order heavenly level, which makes Jiang Heng and them speechless, and they even suspect that these people may rely on the pill to forcibly improve their strength, resulting in a vain physique and overdrawing their potential.
Most of the disciples who have exceeded the fourth order have also stayed at the fifth and sixth orders, the disciples who have exceeded the seventh order can be said to be very few, and the disciples who have reached the eighth order have only two so far, and the number has exceeded half.
"It seems that we can only look at the few disciples whose strength has reached the fifth order of the Ning Yuan Realm, otherwise there will be no miracles," Lin Zixu said.
"Although heaven and earth have become easier to cultivate, there are still few high-potential disciples, otherwise it would be too shocking, and I suspect that I was born in the wrong era," Jiang Heng said.
At this time, an ordinary disciple who was not very old came to the top of the Heavenly Rank, his strength was only the third order of the Ning Yuan Realm, which only belonged to the ordinary level, but then, his performance caused a sensation among all the disciples on the scene.
He marched all the way to the eighth order, and his performance caught up with Shi Xuan a month ago, even Jiang Heng was full of expectations.
He exuded a dazzling yellow light, and struggled against the terrifying coercion like Mount Tai's top, and the strength of his whole body exploded to the extreme, and he stepped on the ninth order with difficulty, everyone was stunned, and so far only Lin Zixu and Dai Mengli had stopped at the ninth order.
"Come on", Dai Mengli cheered for him, he also wanted to see if this teenager could create brilliance again.
Lin Zixu's eyes were about to fall out, which was too shocking, and if he also reached the top, it would undoubtedly put huge pressure on the three of them.
But after all, this is still to his limit, as if hell is collapsing, he fought hard, but with all his strength, he finally fell on the ninth heavenly step, but even so, he received countless applause and cheers, and he can be regarded as creating history.
Lin Zixu can be regarded as relieved, otherwise these demons are enough to make him angry to death.
"It's a pity, but it's enough to prove that his potential is extraordinary," Jiang Heng said.
"Congratulations to Su Cheng, good results", Jiang Heng said to the young man.
At this moment, he had just come down from the heavenly steps, and his potential had been stimulated a lot, and he was feeling this ancient gift.
"Senior brother, this last stage is as insurmountable as a moat for me, and I am like an ant in front of it," Su Cheng said with palpitations.
"You have done your best, as long as you continue to maintain this perseverance in the future, Tianhua Sect will definitely have your share of the world," Dai Mengli encouraged.
Many people were inspired by him and tried their best to attack the Heavenly Rank, but there is no such thing as luck here, only true strength and talent are the most reliable.
After a day of intense testing, there was finally a result, more than 300 people were eliminated, which made it difficult for them to accept, but the facts were in front of them, and they could only accept it helplessly.
There are thirty-five newcomers who have stepped on the seventh order, nine people who have stepped on the eighth order, and only Su Cheng who has stepped on the ninth order.
These forty-five of them are designated as the most potential newcomers, and the forty-five of them will also compete in the ring to determine the top ten, and the top ten will be eligible to choose masters, and the others can only choose passively.
The forty-five people in front of the heavenly steps stood there neatly, and Jiang Heng said to them: "You are the best of the newcomer disciples selected this time, but tomorrow the top ten will be decided among the forty-five of you, and these ten disciples will be actively selected by the major peak masters to be their own masters, and the rest can only wait for the selection of the larger peak masters, and at the same time, the top ten can also get the exclusive rewards of the Tianhua Sect, each of them has a suitable exercise or spiritual skill, seize this opportunity", Jiang Heng said solemnly.
This time, Su Cheng once again became a topic of conversation in Tianhua Sect with a relatively ordinary strength, he and Shi Xuan are both dark horses this year, and many people have compared them.
"I heard that there was already a dark horse before, but I didn't expect another one to come now, this year is really exciting", some disciples are talking.
"I heard that that person named Shi Xuan had just broken through the Ning Yuan Realm and defeated a disciple of the Prison Hall who surpassed him by the fifth order in two days, and then broke the record of no one in the Tianhua Sect who had reached the top of the tenth order in the past six years, it was really terrifying."
"The guy named Su Cheng today is similar to him, but it's a pity that he fell to the ninth order, otherwise it would be wonderful", many disciples are discussing some dark horses this year.
Shi Xuan naturally heard of this guy called Su Cheng, the third order of the Ning Yuan Realm left behind more than a dozen people of the fifth order of the Ning Yuan Realm, and he was also a genius with unlimited potential.
After all, the test of the Heavenly Rank is only an examination of a person's potential, but the rookie competition is the main event, after all, the martial arts atmosphere in the mainland has been continuing, and only defeating the opponent with pure strength is the most convincing.
Shi Xuan's reputation was not only for reaching the top of the tenth-order Heavenly Rank, but he also gave him a lot of points for defeating the fifth-order Zhang Lai head-on, which was the most direct way to win people's hearts.
In addition to Su Cheng this year, Yun Yixuan, Liu Ruyue, Zhong Ling, and Shen Rong were rated as the five disciples with the best strength and potential in Tianhua Sect this year, and they were noticed by many people.
"Senior Brother Shen tomorrow will be the moment for you to shine, the younger brothers will congratulate you first, and you will have to take care of one or two more here in the future", several newcomers said to Shen Rong.
"Didn't you see Su Cheng who climbed to the top of the ninth order today, he is a dark horse," Shen Rong said.
"No matter how great his potential is, that's also in the future, now you're about to touch the sixth-order barrier, isn't it easy to catch a third-order disciple against him tomorrow?"
"Congratulations to Brother Shen for winning the first prize", several of them were flattering.
Shen Rong didn't say anything, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
The disciples who can reach the fifth order of the Ning Yuan Realm at this age, which one is simple, they are all the objects of cultivation in their own family, and they have the resources of the whole family to support their growth, and they will naturally make rapid progress.
By the second day, the square in front of the Tianhua Peak Hall had already been crowded. The forty-five rookie contestants, who were designated as the most potential, came to the stage to wait surrounded by countless disciples.
Ji Xinyi arranged for many of her disciples to maintain order early and prepare for today's event, today can be said to be a grand event in the Southwest Continent, several major sects have chosen to recruit new people in the past few days, the pennants are fluttering everywhere in the Tianhua Sect, and the ten peaks of the Tianhua Sect have disciples leading the team to display their respective flags to attract the attention of newcomers, the battle to grab the disciples has begun, and Shi Xuan and their Spirit Forging Hall have also made preparations this year, which has attracted the attention of the disciples of other peaks.
"You see, even the disciples of the Spirit Forging Hall have come out and walked around this year," someone recognized them.
"It's really rare, didn't they all pick up the leftover leaks in previous years, what are the ideas for this year?"
"Look, isn't that the biggest dark horse of the year, Shi Xuan?
Shi Xuan's actions attracted the attention of many people, seeing that they actually brought in the forging furnace, they didn't understand what they were going to do.
At this time, some of the other peak disciples wandered through the crowd to attract new disciples, and they were chosen to also play their own banners, walk in the crowd, and introduce their spiritual forging to those disciples.
At this time, all the giants of the Tianhua Sect successively flew to the exclusive viewing platform with the Divine Rainbow, and all the disciples began to cheer.
Except for the disciples on duty, everyone else was present at this grand event, and seeing these powerful figures appear, these rookie disciples were completely stunned, and they could be regarded as eye-opening.
In the middle of the spectator seat, everyone did it in turn, Xie Tianxing on the left side of Dai Tiande, Elder Xu on the right, and the other peak masters opened in turn.
Jiang Heng and the three of them finished rectifying their disciples and came to Dai Tiande's side.
Jiang Heng said: "Tell the master, all the newcomer disciples are ready, please ask the master to command."
Dai Tiande nodded at him, and the three of them stood behind him.
Dai Tiande got up: "Today, the biggest event in the past three years of our Tianhua Sect, our Tianhua Sect can be inherited for thousands of years, relying on the generations of disciples, you are from the mainland ****, the disciples who can stay here today are all elites who have been selected at various levels, your arrival has added fuel to our Tianhua Sect, I am very happy that you have become a member of the Tianhua Sect." But today, in order to set an example for all the new disciples, we still have to select the strongest ten people from among your best forty-five people, they will be the benchmark and example of your future generations, and now I announce the official start of the competition", Dai Tiande's temperament as the leader of the world is undoubtedly revealed, and a kind of kingly domineering makes many disciples feel extremely majestic.
Ji Xinyi, as the main person in charge of this matter, she boarded the stage and began to preside over the newcomer competition. As one of the top ten peak masters, Ji Xinyi's strength is undoubted, and she can also be regarded as Dai Tiande's right-hand man in the sect, and she takes care of many things in the sect.
Several disciples cooperated with her to randomly divide the forty-five people, and the forty-five people were divided into five groups, and each group of nine people played a personal round-robin competition, and each group selected the strongest two people, thus selecting the strongest ten people.
Su Cheng and Shen Rong were both selected in the same group, and five groups of matches were played at the same time on the huge field.
Many of the disciples watching the battle below were talking a lot, and they were all observing these rookie disciples.
Exciting matches soon erupted on the field, and all of a sudden there was a burst of colourful aura, and it was clear that these people were all playing with real fire, and if they wanted to get into the top ten, they had to beat at least seven people in the same group, which was a lot of pressure for them.
The most noteworthy game on the field was none other than the match between those fifth-order disciples and Su Cheng.
Su Cheng is the biggest dark horse, his first game has attracted the attention of countless people, he is playing against a fourth-order opponent, this person is not bad, everyone wants to know what his specific combat strength is, even Dai Tiande is also watching his battle.
Su Cheng was facing a fourth-order powerful wind spirit master, this spirit master knew that Su Cheng was the biggest dark horse, and he didn't dare to be careless, as soon as he came up, he was a powerful killing move, he danced in a wheel shape and moved quickly on the field, and a powerful black tornado roared.
Su Cheng didn't panic, an extremely powerful holy light lit up all over his body, and a strong light shot out of his eyes, the other party's eyes were instantly blinded, and his tornado all lost control and hit other places, Su Cheng A holy light from a distance suddenly attacked the ball of light that fell from the sky and exploded violently around him, and he was directly lifted off the martial arts platform.
Everyone was stunned, "This is too fast, he can easily defeat his opponent in a few moments, what kind of spiritual skill is this?"
Shi Xuan was also unbelievable in the audience, he had never heard of a spirit master with the Holy Light attribute, and this power was too domineering.
"I wonder what his holy light attribute is?" Xie Tianxing asked.
"The Holy Light attribute is extremely rare in this world, and I have only met three people over the years, but they are all powerful, which is a powerful talent", Dai Tiande was also a little surprised.
"The opponent of the light attribute is not rare, this holy light attribute is unheard of", Jiang Heng was also shocked.
Everyone was paying attention to his battle, and the others had seen his terrifying power of holy light, and they didn't dare to look at him, they were all on guard against his holy light blinding, and he once again showed terrifying strength, even if he couldn't blind the opponent again, his almost omnipresent holy light power made the opponent fearful, and no matter how fast the opponent was, his powerful holy light could hit him.
This kind of holy light can easily break through many aura shields, and it is difficult for opponents without spirit armor to resist the blow of holy light.
At this moment, he was like a warrior bathed in golden light, one after another holy light emitted from his scepter, the enemy could only flee in the sky, the enemy finally attacked him, and his powerful holy light barrier easily blocked the powerful spiritual skill attack.
"What a weird aura, almost countless other aura shields, can directly attack their body, and only those who cultivate body art can withstand his holy light attack, right?" Jiang Heng looked at this young man bathed in holy light.
Shi Xuan looked at him and was also thinking about how he would deal with him if he faced him, Shi Xuan looked at the powerful Su Cheng and fell into deep thought.
"I know, he is not without flaws, although his holy light is powerful, but the aura consumed is also extremely large, and every time he casts a spell, the chant is relatively long, and he must successfully catch the rhythm of his spell casting in battle, and interrupting the spell at a critical moment will inevitably make him suffer heavy losses", Shi Xuan found the opponent's shortcomings after several battle observations.
In these battles, it is not surprising that the people who won the most were these fifth-order people and Su Cheng.
Su Cheng finally faced Shen Rong, the strongest opponent in the same group, and everyone wanted to see if the strongest Shen Rong could stop his Holy Light Technique.
At this moment, Shen Rong does not have the arrogance of yesterday, his few battles today are not easy, he originally thought that crushing was not so easy, this time he faced the biggest dark horse, and when he really faced him, he finally felt the pressure.
The boy did not show a retreat because he was stronger, but showed a strong fighting spirit.
Su Cheng took the lead, his whole body was golden and bright, it was difficult for others to look at it directly, Shen Rong was a powerful earth melee master, his defense was the best in the same rank, and it was difficult for someone to break through his defense.
But today, he encountered the most bizarre holy light in the world, and Shen Rong's first holy light made him feel pain, and his thick rock and earth armor was instantly torn apart by a terrifying holy light, hitting his body with great pain.
Everyone else felt a huge pressure, but he was shocked and did not stop, the heavy knife in his hand frantically killed Su Cheng, Su Cheng faced the fierce Shen Rong, did not choose to fight hard, he summoned a holy light armor around him, Shen Rong split the mountain and split the stone with a big knife slash on the holy light and shot a large string of sparks, until the tiger's mouth bleed, did not break through his defense.
His huge strength knocked Su Cheng to the ground hard, but Su Cheng stood up again, and it was no big deal.
Another stream of holy light struck, and he could only pick up the broadsword to resist, his weapon was a powerful third-order weapon. The wide blade, glowing with a cold light, has won him honors in several consecutive fights.
But at this time, the holy light made a series of nicks on his reach, and he was shocked when he saw it, and he became even more careful.
He relied on his tremendous strength to charge again and again, knocking him into the air several times, but he was never able to break his barrier. Su Cheng's several holy lights were blocked by him with a big knife, and he couldn't inflict fatal damage on him.
"It seems that the Holy Light is not omnipotent, a powerful spirit armor or a special spirit weapon can target him", Shi Xuan thought of making only a special spirit armor to deal with him.
"Although your holy light is strong, but the spiritual energy consumption is too large, as long as you drag it on, you will definitely lose", Shen Rong also discovered this problem, his strength is about to break through to the sixth order, and the spiritual energy is profound, this is his biggest advantage, as long as he drags him down, he will definitely be able to defeat him.
"Really, you can't wait for that time", Su Cheng began to erupt, and if he dragged on any longer, he would definitely lose.
Everyone was paying attention to his attack, only to see a round of sun-like golden balls of light rising on the huge martial arts platform, and many people were illuminated by the holy light, and the huge power of the holy light climbed, like a waterfall towards Shen Rong.
He sensed great danger, and his body was covered with solid rock armor, and a huge stubborn rock in the surrounding field was attached to him to resist the holy light.
The violent explosion directly hit the earth and rocks, and many disciples watching the battle summoned aura shields to resist.
The field was covered with dust, and when the smoke and dust dispersed, the holy light finally ended, and Shen Rong in front of him couldn't believe it, his defense was basically destroyed, his whole body was in tatters, and he finally couldn't hold on and fell down.
Even Jiang Heng also gasped, if Su Cheng and Shen Rong were at the same level, then this battle would be crushed.
