Chapter 168: The General Election Begins
Compared to a few days ago, after breaking through the five-star sage, Liu Feiyun's strength soared more than ten times.
There are many reasons for this, first of all, Liu Feiyun also cultivates the Five Elements Holy Qi at the same time, which corroborates each other and complements each other, plus his martial arts foundation is solid, so once he breaks through, his strength will inevitably skyrocket.
That's what you know!
Secondly, in terms of exercises, the breakthrough of the realm made Liu Feiyun's comprehension of the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique deeper and more skillful, so the power he exerted was naturally greater.
The last reason is the change in the concentration and reserves of holy qi from within the dantian. Imagine that the Holy Qi stored in Liufeiyun's body was only enough for him to send out one "Thunder Strike", but after the breakthrough, the Holy Qi reserves could support him to send out three moves, and even make four moves with all his might, which is better or worse.
The above three reasons are the fundamental reason for the sudden increase in the strength of Liufeiyun. Without these hole cards, even if he broke through the strength of the Five-Star Sage, there would definitely not be such a drastic change.
Liu Feiyun was confident that he could fight the Holy Priest now, and it was unknown whether he could win or not.
Next, Liu Feiyun struck while the iron was hot and practiced the martial arts he had learned one by one. Especially the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, the more he cultivated, the more he felt that this exercise was profound and mysterious, but he was afraid that the ordinary Heavenly Rank could not compare to it.
The only thing that made Liu Feiyun regret here was that he could only cultivate the first form of the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique when he broke through the five-star sage, and there was still a distance from cultivating the second form. But he's not in a hurry, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry, and you can't reach it if you're in a hurry.
After a successful conclusion of the retreat, Liu Feiyun reopened the entrance to the Onmyo-monastery. At this time, the news about the election of Tianzong has been blown up by people with intentions.
Ling Tianzong was definitely a first-class force in the vast Flowing Cloud Country, and the only one who could guarantee stability and stability was the Flame Valley. The others, like the Blood Soul Sect and the Wind Sword Sect, were mostly equal in overall strength to each other, and several of them had been fighting openly and secretly for decades, regardless of whether they were up or down.
Therefore, the scale of Ling Tianzong's five-year Heavenly Sect selection this time can be described as unprecedented. The entire Liuyun Kingdom was talking about this matter, and many people came from thousands of miles to participate in the Tianzong election.
At this time, whether it was a well-known casual cultivator, a young master after a nobleman, or a genius of some small sects and gangs, they all wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to join Ling Tianzong. Once they join Ling Tianzong, they will be able to obtain the protection of the sect, and their family or power will inevitably rise.
In the martial arts world, it is not uncommon for a person to attain the Tao and a chicken dog to ascend to heaven.
More importantly, joining Ling Tianzong will give them better resources, better martial arts techniques, and more opportunities to get the guidance of the strong, clearing the obstacles for the future martial arts path.
It's an opportunity to reach the top of the ladder that no one wants to miss, and even if some people know their hopes are slim, they don't want to give up. Perhaps, they can be favored by a big person, or maybe their talents in another field have not been discovered?
With a fluke mentality, and the illusion that they knew was impossible, they came without hesitation.
In a blink of an eye, another three days have passed, and Liu Feiyun has been hiding in the Yin-Yang Courtyard to consolidate his cultivation. Now his strength has been stabilized at the five-star sage, and he is still a little refined, and he is one step away from stepping into the six-star.
Of course, as his cultivation improved, Liu Feiyun found it more and more difficult to move forward. At the beginning, he could break through a small realm in one night, but now three days have passed and he still hasn't been able to break through the six-star.
Just when Liu Feiyun was immersed in his own martial arts world and couldn't extricate himself, the five-year Tianzong election finally kicked off.
At this time, the outer mountain gate of Ling Tianzong was crowded with people, and there was no end in sight, and its liveliness could be described as terrifying. However, Ling Tianzong had already prepared for this, and under the arrangement of Sect Master Wang Yunming, the situation was quite stable.
As for the rules of selection, Wang Yunming has already made a decision. In the general direction, it is implemented according to Liu Feiyun's original suggestion, but there are slight changes.
On the eve of the general election, Wang Yunming secretly consulted with a number of Ling Tianzong Supreme Elders, and finally reached an agreement. All assessments are graded to determine a person's potential.
For example, in the assessment of talent, all participants in the selection will be divided into three grades, the first grade is qualified, then excellent, and finally rare.
The same is true for the perseverance assessment, which is also divided into three grades.
As for the strength assessment, it is a little more complicated, due to the limited number of disciples recruited this time. All those who pass the first two levels will be in a big ring and a knockout melee until there are 200 people left in the ring.
There was no doubt that these two hundred people would be lucky enough to become official disciples of Ling Tianzong. However, they still have to play ranked matches, which are crucial. Because it determines how many cultivation resources each person can get from the sect in the future, and how high the status they can get in the sect.
"Hey, I heard a friend say that the disciples who passed the Heavenly Sect's election this time are all to be cultivated, and it would be nice if I could get a place. ”
"Haha, it's just you, daydreaming, it's a shame to have your little strength. ”
"Tianzong selection, two hundred places, I must get one. ”
"I heard that the five elders and deans who are in charge of the assessment this time are respectively, if they can be favored by them, there will be no need to worry about it in the future. ”
"Nonsense, at first glance, you are lonely and unheard, Ling Tianzong is divided into five halls and six courtyards. ”
"No matter how hard it is, I have to get a spot, otherwise I won't have a chance next time. ”
In the face of the selection of Tianzong, everyone has their own pursuits and goals. For this goal they must do their best, otherwise it will be difficult to stand out from the crowd of geniuses.
"Everyone, be quiet, I am Zhou Jie, the deacon elder of the outer gate of Ling Tianzong, you can call me Elder Zhou. ”
In the midst of everyone's noisy discussions, a kind-faced old man walked out of Ling Tianzong, he just said something casually, but it made people feel as if this sentence was ringing in everyone's ears.
Suddenly, the noisy scene immediately quieted down, and more than 100,000 pairs of eyes stared at the old man who spoke.
"First of all, on behalf of Ling Tianzong, I would like to welcome you and thank you for your continued support of Ling Tianzong. Zhou Lao smiled, and first said some innocuous scenes. Subsequently, he changed his conversation and began to talk about the assessment and selection issues that everyone was most concerned about.
"I admit that your enthusiasm is commendable, but the martial arts world is a world where strength speaks, not pride. ”
"I can tell you that this selection of the Heavenly Sect is different from the past, it is more rigorous and harsh than any before. But in the same way, the benefits of becoming a disciple of Ling Tianzong through the selection of the Heavenly Sect are also unprecedented before, and they are definitely beyond your imagination. ”
"And I'll give you a thorough understanding first, this time the sect master intends to choose a personal disciple from among you. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly got out of control!
Ling Tian Sect Sect Master Wang Yunming was a master-level master, the Divine Dragon could not see the head but the end, and it was unimaginable that he could become his personal disciple.
At this moment, everyone was boiling, and their eyes were full of blazing light. For them, the temptation was too great for them to resist. In fact, not to mention them, even the core disciples of the sect are very envious.
But in this feverish atmosphere, there was an elegant woman who was unmoved.
She stood silently, as if the whole world was nothing to her.
This woman's appearance is not very outstanding, but her temperament is eye-catching. The empty valley is quiet and elegant, like a fairy of the nine heavens, but it can be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
The woman wore a simple purple tunic dress, which set off her figure to the fullest.
The towering twin peaks, the willow waist that is not in a grip, the straight snow-white calves, and the small hands that are as beautiful as jade all prove that she is a beautiful woman with outstanding style.
But some beautiful fantasies are fantasies after all, and reality often backfires. This woman's face is not extremely outstanding, it can only be said to be average. It's a huge downfall, like a fine piece of jade mixed with a little black spot, which looks so incongruous.
However, her ordinary face and the unique temperament of ice and jade have a different flavor.
In fact, this strange woman is none other than the descendant of the witch hexagram, Luo Chengcheng.
On that day, she was pushed into the spatial vortex by the old woman and then teleported to the Flowing Cloud Country, although the position was a little off, fortunately it was not very big.
After coming to Liuyun Country, Luo Chengcheng had no impulse. She first spent two or three days familiarizing herself with the customs of Liuyun Country, and then roughly figured out the strength of the powerhouses in this region and some famous young generations.
After making these preparations, Luo Qingcheng began to inquire about the clues to find Ling Tianzong. This process went extremely smoothly, because Ling Tianzong was quite famous in the Flowing Cloud Country, and anyone with a little bit of knowledge knew it.
However, Luo Qingcheng really encountered a lot of troubles along the way, without exception, all because of her appearance.
Later, in order to avoid unnecessary right and wrong, Luo Qingcheng had to disguise himself and dress himself up as an ordinary woman, trying not to attract so much attention. In this way, she came to Ling Tianzong without danger.
Originally, she was still worried about how to sneak into Ling Tianzong, but it just so happened that this Tianzong election gave her an excellent opportunity.
For many days, she had been trying to find a way to ask Ling Tianzong if there was a person named Liu Feiyun, but the results she could get were all unclear and unclear.
In fact, it's normal for outsiders not to know about Liufeiyun. Because he was originally a prince, he was very famous in the royal capital, even louder than the names of those geniuses. And in this Ling Tianzong, which was thousands of miles away from the royal capital, he was not so dazzling.
After all, he hadn't been in Ling Tianzong for a long time, and the people he had come into contact with were even rarer, and until now, only the core personnel of Ling Tianzong knew about Liu Feiyun's existence.
But Luo Qingcheng obviously didn't know what the person she was looking for was like this, and she subconsciously thought that Liu Feiyun might participate in the selection of the Heavenly Sect like herself.
"Okay guys, be quiet, what questions do you have? If so, you can raise them now!"
"Old Zhou, to tell you something from my heart, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to pass your sect's assessment, I'm afraid that there will be something unsavvy in this. A wandering warrior questioned it, and his concern was the most concerned issue for everyone.
Hearing this, Zhou Lao was not angry at all, but smiled: "Are you worried that someone will cheat for personal gain in this selection?
The man nodded, as he said, he was confident in his strength, but sometimes there were things that could not be done with confidence alone.
Zhou Lao smiled: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this, this Tianzong general election sect attaches great importance to it, and the dean of the five academies personally supervises the assessment, and finally there is a mysterious chief examiner to check it, no one wants to cheat, so I advise those who have used their crooked brains not to do stupid things." ”
"Mysterious examiner? Elder Zhou, can you reveal who the mysterious examiner is?"
"Yes, can he guarantee that he will not favor anyone? Can he guarantee the absolute fairness of the evaluation?"
For a while, everyone was interested in the mysterious examiner in Zhou Lao's mouth.
Ling Tianzong was a super sect, and there were not a thousand elders in the sect, but eight hundred. But there are only a few people who are qualified to be the examiners, maybe they know each other, and they can still have a relationship when the time comes.
"You said that the mysterious chief examiner could be the Ling Tian Sect Master?"
"I don't think so, it should be which Supreme Elder!"
“......”
In the face of increasingly fierce speculation, Elder Zhou said seriously: "Don't guess, everyone, there is only one thing I can tell you, this chief examiner is our Ling Tianzong Sixth Elder Dean, Elder Liu, Liu Feiyun!"
"Liufeiyun?"
Hearing this unfamiliar name, everyone was stunned, and their faces were full of confusion, who is Liu Feiyun? Does anyone know it? Ling Tianzong's qualified examiner doesn't seem to be named Liu Feiyun, right?
Including those who were hidden in the sea of people, those old opponents of Ling Tianzong who sent to spy on the news were all dumbfounded.
Your sister, what kind of flowing clouds, where did this thing come from?
Confused, they had no choice but to send the news back to their respective sects as soon as possible, and let the sects use extraordinary means to investigate the origin of this Liufeiyun.
Of course, different people's ears will react differently to the same words. When Luo Qingcheng heard the three words Liufeiyun, his heart was agitated and he was overjoyed. She thought to herself that her grandmother really didn't make a mistake, Ling Tianzong actually had a person named Liu Feiyun.
This rekindled a little hope in Luo Chengcheng, which was originally discouraged.
But as soon as he calmed down, Luo Qingcheng frowned again.
According to what Elder Zhou said, Liu Feiyun was the Sixth Elder Dean of Ling Tianzong, with a prominent identity and a lofty status, such a person must be not young, and it was even possible that he was the same as Elder Zhou in front of him, a gray-haired bad old man.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingcheng's whole person is not good, this is not the same as the plot she imagined.
Do you really want her to spend time with a bad old man?
Luo Qingcheng was entangled to death, and such a result was somewhat unacceptable to Rao with her elegant temperament.
But at the moment, no one cared about her thoughts at all, and everyone's attention was on the upcoming assessment.
