Chapter 178: The battle for the top spot
With a dull bell ringing, the coercion that enveloped the entire mountain suddenly disappeared.
This means that the time has come to climb the ladder, and for most people, the position they are in now is their ranking on this year's Nine Shadows List.
And those in the top 20 have another chance to challenge.
At this Demon Dao Ceremony, the strength of the Tianjiao of each faction was originally the most in the past, and there were people from the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Kunlun Young Master Sect, just the young master of the Blood Yin Sect who was ranked twentieth had the strength of the six turns of Jindan.
And the strength of the top ten is even more terrifying, the five spirit veins are knotted, and there is an attribute that has reached the ninth turn of the golden pill, Ouyang Long, Qin Song and Liu Yang, can only be tied for the bottom of the top ten.
In the top ten of the Nine Shadows List of the Demon Dao, the Righteous Path occupies six.
Fortunately, there is also Nangong Chan, the saint of the Xuanyin Sect, who is tied for first place with the Kunlun Shaozhang Sect, which temporarily saves a little face for the Demon Dao.
But that doesn't mean the end result.
Any of the top twenty on the Nine Shadows List, in tomorrow's battle of Dingding, is qualified to challenge them, the two have a unique advantage in resisting coercion, but compared with others, there is indeed a certain gap in mana.
When sorting out the preliminary list of the Nine Shadows List, the elders of the various sects of the Demon Dao discovered a surprising thing.
In this session of the Nine Shadows List, the number of Xuanyin Sect disciples is extremely large.
The top 20 on the Nine Shades list can't see anything.
But the back eighty, there are actually forty-six Xuanyin Sect members, accounting for more than half, these Xuanyin Sect disciples, none of them cultivate a single spiritual vein, double spiritual vein, three spiritual veins abound.
In the previous Nine Shadows List, the number of disciples of the Xuanyin Sect was only the same as that of the Puppet Sect's Soul Refining Sect.
The number of disciples in the Jindan period not only represents the backbone of a sect, but also plays a vital role in the competition for the resources of some cave secret realms.
The vast majority of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, above the Yuan Infant Stage, is inaccessible.
If you want to cultivate so many disciples in the foundation building period to the Golden Pill, you need a large number of third-order and fourth-order pills, and the Xuanyin Sect does not have such a high-level alchemist, and everyone immediately thought of Li Yu, the Taoist companion of the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect.
It seems that the news they heard is true, Kunlun and Xuanyin Sect have launched in-depth cooperation.
This made the people of other sects such as the Soul Refining Sect and the Puppet Sect unable to sit still, the Demon Flame Sect caught up with the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Xuanyin Sect and Kunlun were about to marry, and the changes in the immortal cultivation world that had not been seen for thousands of years had come, if they were still stupid and did nothing, they might soon be buried in the dust of the times.
Before the ceremony was over, the elders of the various factions had already sent the news back to the sect.
Under the pressure of the limit, resisting for several hours, it was extremely exhausting, and after the end of the climb, the people who were temporarily ranked in the top 20 of the Nine Shadows List returned to their peaks to breathe.
Early the next morning, Li Yu and Nangong Chan came to the peak of the mountain they climbed yesterday again.
Today, the coercion here is gone, and on a huge platform at the top of the peak, many figures have gathered, and Li Yu also feels a protective formation, which is prepared for the upcoming challenge.
In the same great realm, the strength of an immortal cultivator is directly proportional to the depth of mana, but it is not absolute.
A Jindan six-turn who has been promoted with a demon pill in a short period of time may not be the opponent of the Jindan five-turn who has cultivated step by step, the restraint of different attributes, and the mastery of the spells of this system are also a big factor affecting winning or losing.
There is also a celestial spirit vein like a demon girl, the casting time is extremely fast, and the power of the spell is even more powerful, and it is very common to cross the level against the enemy.
Today, the top 20 Tianjiao on the Nine Shadows List, if there are people who are dissatisfied with the people in front of them, they can challenge them, and if they can win, they can take the other party's position.
However, this kind of opportunity is only once, and you should be extra cautious about who takes on the challenge.
Soon, Li Yu saw the first battle of Demon Dao Tianjiao.
The young master of the Blood Yin Sect, who was ranked twentieth on the Nine Shadows List, challenged the Heavenly Sect of the Imperial Insect Sect, which was ranked eighteenth.
His opponent was well chosen, and the challenge of the Nine Shadows List could only rely on himself, not only could he not use external forces, not only could he not bring the magic weapon to the field, but he could not bring things such as spirit ghosts, spirit corpses, and poisonous insects with him.
This is very unfriendly to the people of the Soul Refining Sect, the Puppet Sect, and the Imperial Insect Sect, even if their mana is more profound, but their strength, more than fifty percent of them have to rely on foreign objects, and they are not very good at spells, and they are naturally at a disadvantage when they are good at spells at the same level.
Within the protective formation, the Tianjiao of the Imperial Insect Sect was suppressed from the beginning.
On the body of the young master of the Blood Yin Gate, a blood mist gushed out, overwhelmingly wrapping towards the Imperial Insect Sect Tianjiao, although the Imperial Insect Sect Tianjiao knew that the fire spell could restrain the blood mist, but he majored in the wood system, and the fire spell was obviously not so proficient, resulting in ten percent of the mana, and less than fifty percent.
Soon, the blood mist wrapped his whole body, and he could only admit defeat helplessly.
The Young Master of the Blood Yin Sect took his place, temporarily ranking eighteenth on the Nine Shadows List, and he fell to the nineteenth place.
Subsequently, the Tianjiao of the Tiansha Palace challenged the Demon Flame Gate Tianjiao, who was ranked seventeenth, but failed, and finally ranked twentieth on the Nine Shadows List.
Li Yu stood outside the formation and watched silently, the Demon Dao is called the Demon Dao, and it is not without reason, either the blood mist or the evil qi, or the black demon flame, sweeping all over the world, the scene is very terrifying.
These Jindan six immortal second generations, no one is convinced by anyone, none of them are satisfied with the original position, challenge each other, after a few games, the ranking is very different from before.
It can be seen that the challenge of the Nine Shadows List is indeed necessary.
However, the Xuanyin Sect and the Puppet Sect's two Jindan Seven Turns, and the Soul Refining Sect's Jindan Eight Turns, seemed to be very clear that there was an insurmountable gap with the people in front of them, and they all decisively gave up their qualifications to challenge.
This time, only the top ten rankings are undecided.
Among them, Li Yu and the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect are temporarily ranked first, third to seventh, and they are the five members of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and after that, they are the three top Tianjiao of the Demon Dao.
The first place on the Tianjiao list has always been a position to fight for, five nine-turn demon pills, there is no golden pill period that can not be excited, and the second also has a nine-turn demon pill, and then it decreases one by one.
A Xuanyin Sect elder looked at Ouyang Long and asked, "Do you want to challenge?" ”
Ouyang Long turned his head to look at the person and laughed, "Xue Tingfeng, do you dare to fight me?" ”
Among the several people of the Heavenly Dao Sect, one of them walked out slowly and said with a smile: "The former subordinates are just defeated, why don't you dare?" ”
A moment later, within the protective formation, all kinds of lights flashed wildly.
These two are both initiates of the five spirit veins, after marrying the Dan, they majored in the fire spirit veins, and they are also proficient in the thunder method, the red and black fire clouds, the purple and black thunder, collide in the formation, setting off huge energy fluctuations, and then they are annihilated.
In terms of mana, Ouyang Long was obviously inferior to the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Sure enough, soon, he was at a disadvantage, and then his mana was exhausted and he was defeated.
The next person to announce that he would challenge another person from the Heavenly Dao Sect was Qin Song of the Puppet Sect, but there was no spirit corpse, and when his mana was inferior to the other party, he also ended in defeat.
Both he and Ouyang Long failed in the challenge and kept their tied rankings unchanged.
If Liu Yang also fails to challenge the Tianjiao in front of him, there will be three more competitions between the three of them to determine the final ranking.
However, when it was Liu Yang's turn, he chose to give up.
He knew that he was not the opponent of those people in the Heavenly Dao Sect, it was better to retain his strength, Ouyang Long and Qin Song had already experienced a fierce competition, and their state was definitely not at the peak, and it was not too difficult to defeat them while retaining their strength.
In this way, he could rank eighth on the Nine Shadows List, ahead of Ouyang Long and Qin Song.
The elder of the Xuanyin Sect glanced at Liu Yang, although he didn't say anything, but he was indeed a little disappointed in his heart about the Tianjiao of his own sect, Ouyang Long of the Soul Refining Sect and Qin Song of the Puppet Sect, even if they knew that they were invincible, they dared to declare war on the strong men of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and compared with Liu Yang who avoided the war, they at least had more backbone.
The three of them were tied, Ouyang Long and Qin Song failed to challenge, and Liu Yang gave up, but there was no tie in the final Nine Shadows List, and there was a competition between the three to determine the final ranking.
The two of them, who had already experienced a fierce battle, even if they took the elixir of rejuvenation, it was difficult for them to recover to the peak of their strength, and they lost to Liu Yang unexpectedly.
Qin Song and Ouyang Long fought and lost at a critical moment, so that in this year's Nine Shadows List, among the three stars of the Demon Dao, Liu Yang ranked eighth, Ouyang Long was ninth, and Qin Song was tenth.
Although the Tianjiao of his own sect won.
But the disciples of the Soul Refining Sect who were watching didn't feel very proud, and even a little ashamed.
Although Ouyang Long and Qin Song lost, they also raised the power of the Demon Dao, Liu Yang did not dare to challenge the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he only dared to deal with his own people, even if he was ranked first, he also lost the face of the Xuanyin Sect.
After the ranking of the three Heavenly Masters of the Demon Dao was set, the qualifications for the challenge were the turn of several Heavenly Dao Sect disciples.
In seventh place was Xue Tingfeng, who had a battle with Ouyang Long just now.
His eyes looked at Li Yu, and he clenched his fists and said, "Li Daoyou, please advise." ”
As soon as these words came out, both the Demon Dao Tianjiao and the Demon Dao disciples and elders present immediately became interested.
Li Yu has always been well-known to everyone for his Dan Dao talent, as well as his formation talent that has only been revealed once, and almost no one has seen him make a move.
In the last Heavenly Dao Sect's Immortal Dao Conference, he didn't even enter the top twenty of the Heavenly Pride List.
But after less than five years, on the list of the Nine Shadows of the Demon Dao, where Tianjiao is stronger, he can actually temporarily rank first.
Everyone was curious about what his strength was.
Within the protective formation.
Xue Tingfeng looked at Li Yu, compared to the Demon Dao Holy Maiden, he was more interested in this Kunlun future sect leader.
is also a disciple of the righteous path, Li Yu can be called a rising star for him, Xue Tingfeng used the cultivation of the Jindan period to make a name for himself in the immortal world, Li Yu was not born yet, but now he is already standing in a higher position than him.
He really wanted to fight Li Yu in person.
A crisp bell rings to signify the start of the challenge.
Before Xue Tingfeng could think about what spell to use to test Li Yu, a pair of purple wings appeared behind Li Yu on the opposite side, and then the whole person disappeared.
"Thunder Wing!"
Xue Tingfeng's heart was shocked, how long did Li Yu get married, and he actually cultivated the thunder method to the point where he could condense the thunder wings, and at this point, the speed of the thunder cultivation would increase several times, and it was not weaker than the same level of the major wind system at all.
He didn't have time to release the spell, so he could only temporarily use the mana of his whole body to form a shield and protect himself in it.
Bang!
As soon as the shield was formed, a fist appeared in front of his eyes.
There are no fancy spells, just this simple punch.
Under one punch, the shield he formed with the mana of more than thirteen turns of Jin Dan underwent a violent transformation, and the shield, along with Xue Tingfeng himself, was smashed upside down by this punch and flew out, slamming into the protective formation.
Although the collision did not hurt him, his head was buzzing.
In Xue Tingfeng's life, he only suffered from other people's fists when he fought with people before he drew his breath.
Later, when he stepped into the path of cultivation and fought with people, no matter whether the opponent was the righteous path or the demonic path, it was a battle of spells.
Even monsters spit fireballs.
Before the formation of the primordial god, the body of an immortal cultivator must not be damaged, and every immortal cultivator cherishes it extraordinarily, who would be so close to the opponent?
One mistake is the end of the body and soul.
Before he could come back to his senses, his body, along with the mana shield, flew out again.
In addition to the protective formation, the Demon Dao disciples were also stunned, they were still fantasizing about what kind of spell battle the battle between the two righteous path Tianjiao was, but they didn't expect to see such a scene.
That Kunlun Shaozhang is in charge, he looks polite and gentle, how can he shoot in this style?
Could it be that the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect likes this Tao?
Those Demon Dao elders couldn't help but speak.
"I heard that he also cultivated the Martial Dao Jindan, so to speak, he is a double cultivation of the Dharma body, and in terms of the physical body alone, I'm afraid that none of us in the Yuan Infant Stage can compare to ......"
"I can't imagine that there are still people who practice martial arts."
"I remember that there are records of physical cultivation in ancient books, although they don't cultivate mana, but their physical bodies are extremely strong, a close physical cultivation is a nightmare for immortal cultivators, not to mention, his cultivation is not weak......"
……
Within the protective formation, Xue Tingfeng's whole person flew around with a mana shield.
After being close to Li Yu, he had no chance to fight back at all.
And his speed is extremely fast, it must be a double cultivation of wind and thunder, and he has already caught up with him before he lands.
After being kicked away again, Xue Tingfeng was sure that his mana shield would not be able to block Li Yu's next attack, and when he was still flying in the air, he announced his admission of defeat.
Li Yu could only stop.
He knew very well that in terms of spells, he would never be able to compare to the Demon Maiden and Senior Sister Qin, so he found another way and developed his own set of playing methods.
The avenue is simple, with the speed of wind and thunder, all the mana is used to strengthen the body, plus the martial arts golden pill, a simple punch also has great power, restraining all the bells and whistles.
After building the foundation, he focused on wind and thunder spells, and with the daily hand-in-hand teaching of Senior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Qin, he entered the realm for a long time.
Xue Tingfeng failed in the challenge, and it was the turn of the next Tianjiao of the Heavenly Dao Sect named Liu Shan.
His strength is about the same as Xue Tingfeng, so it is naturally impossible to challenge Li Yu.
Unless he also wants to be kicked in public.
After a brief thought, he chose the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect.
This saintess is certainly very strong, but she can climb to such a high position just because she occupies a physique, and her real strength should be inferior to herself.
Although with his strength, he may not be able to get the Nine Turns Demon Pill, but being able to defeat the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect is also an experience worth remembering, after all, the chance for him to defeat her may only be this time......
He looked at the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect and said, "I ......"
Suddenly, he noticed a gaze that fell on him.
Liu Shan turned his head and looked, this gaze belonged to Li Yu.
Li Yu glanced at him and seemed to unconsciously pinch the bone joints of his fingers.
Threat, this is a naked threat!
Liu Shan instantly realized something.
The Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect is Li Yu's Taoist companion, judging from yesterday's scene, the relationship between Li Yu and her is very deep.
If he defeated or injured the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect, he would be temporarily ranked first.
And that Li Yu has another chance to challenge.
When the time comes, Li Yu will definitely not let him go.
He was more worried that he would retaliate against him if he encountered him outside in the future.
This kind of love brain is the most terrifying.
For the sake of the people they like, they do everything.
What's more, the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect is still pregnant, and her spell has no eyes, once something goes wrong with the fetus...... He was worried that Li Yu and him would not die.
After a moment of hesitation, Liu Shan shook his head and said, "I give up ......"
The other two people of the Heavenly Dao Sect, after watching the battle between Li Yu and Xue Tingfeng, also knew very well that they were not Li Yu's opponents, and they were also not the opponents of the other Heavenly Dao Sect, and it was impossible to get the Nine Turns Demon Pill, so they also decisively chose to give up the challenge.
Although they also wanted to bully and bully the Xuanyin Sect Holy Maiden when she was still weak.
But her Taoist companion was watching from the side.
Remembering the brutality of the man just now, they dispelled this thought.
Li Yu is not playing with the bone joints of his fingers, he is clear about the strength of the demon girl, her five spirit veins Jin Dan turns twice, with the double heavenly spirit veins, against Ouyang Long, they have a certain possibility of winning.
But these people from the Heavenly Dao Sect are more than a little stronger than Ouyang Long.
If they all challenge the demon girl, this time on the Nine Shadows List, she is afraid that she will fall out of the top five.
It hit her too hard.
Of course, Li Yu couldn't watch this happen.
Fortunately, the first challenge of the Heavenly Dao Sect was him, so he decided to give them a little shock, these people have been practicing for decades, and they still have it, and they are really not stunned.
Now, there is only one last person left in the Heavenly Dao Sect.
The young man arched his hand to Li Yu and said, "Heavenly Dao Sect Tang Yuan, Li Daoyou, please give me advice." ”
His purpose was for the five Nine Transformation Demon Pills, and for this, he needed to defeat Li Yu and the Xuanyin Sect Holy Maiden, and between the two, he was the first to choose Li Yu.
If Li Yu is defeated, it will not be too late to defeat the Xuanyin Sect Holy Maiden.
If he loses in the hands of Li Yu, he will have no chance to continue the challenge.
Since sooner or later you have to face Li Yu, it is better to face it earlier.
Another reason is that he heard that the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect was pregnant, and he didn't want to do anything with her.
Li Yu arched his hand at Tang Yuan and said, "Thank you." ”
Tang Yuan said: "You're welcome. ”
Nangong Chan glanced at Li Yu silently, of course she knew what their conversation meant.
These people from the Heavenly Dao Sect, she is not sure of winning.
He kept all of her opponents in front of him.
When she was bullied when she was a child, she also hoped that one day, someone would protect her behind her and block all dangers for her......
……
Within the protective formation.
Li Yu and Tang Yuan gave up their hands again, and after the bell rang, the purple light on the two of them flashed, and their figures disappeared at the same time.
Bang!
Somewhere in the formation, the purple light converged, making a dull sound, one figure only shook slightly, and the other figure flew upside down for several feet before it stabilized.
In this blow, neither of them cast a spell, but fought with the simplest physical body.
After Tang Yuan stabilized his figure, he breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Li Yu, shook his head and said, "I am not your opponent. ”
Li Yu arched his hand and said, "Accept." ”
Outside the formation, countless Demon Dao disciples were stunned.
"That's it?"
"Otherwise, what else, it's not a life-and-death fight, Tianjiao of their level, a temptation, can tell the winner or loser."
"Isn't there anyone challenging the Holy Maiden?"
"There is such a Taoist here, who dares, if he hurts the fetus in the womb of the Holy Maiden, the Shaozhang Sect will not kill them......"
"The two of them are husband and wife, and they have won the first and second place on the Nine Shadows List, this should be the first time in history, right?"
"I wonder if they're going to fight?"
……
Before today, no one thought that the first and second places on the Nine Shadows List would fall into the same family, and even Tianjiao of the Heavenly Dao Sect couldn't stop the footsteps of this pair of Daoists.
However, among the two, it is still unclear who is the first on the Nine Shadows list.
Outside the protective formation, several Demon Dao Yuanying Patriarchs walked up to Li Yu and Nangong Chan, and Elder Xuanyuan looked at them and asked, "On the Nine Shadows List, you are now tied for first place, and you still need to compete again......"
"I give up."
Li Yu spoke decisively, he was not interested in being the first on the Nine Shadows List.
This title is more important to the demon girl.
Senior Sister Qin is the first on the Tianjiao list, and she is the first on the Nine Shadows list, so that when others mention them, they are more compatible.
As the pinnacle of the two realms of righteousness and demons, one is the first on the list of Tianjiao, and the other is the second ...... on the Nine Shadows list, how ugly it sounds.
Nangong Chan glanced at Li Yu and said, "I also give up, this doesn't belong to me in the first place, I don't want to ......"
She also has her pride.
Li Yu said helplessly: "Then there is only one fight......
Outside of the protective formation, all the Demon Dao disciples were extremely excited.
"It's fighting, it's fighting!"
"I don't know who will win!"
"The fighting method between Taoist couples must be very exciting......"
They were ready to watch a wonderful battle, but soon, everyone's expressions became dull.
The competition for the first place on the Nine Shadows List, which one of the previous sessions was not a fight to the death, all kinds of powerful spells, even the protective formation can be shaken, and the use of various spells will always make the onlookers gain something.
How can anyone throw fireballs at each other from a distance of dozens of feet.
They can't be thrown at each other.
The Qi refining period is more accurate than what they throw......
After a while, a Demon Dao disciple who had been alone for decades couldn't stand it anymore, covered his face with his hands, and muttered, "I'm really cheap, I've come all the way to Xuanyin Sect to see this ......."
