Seeing the crowd of people in the black and oppressive Zhuyin Pavilion, Cheng Ling said helplessly: "Brother Jian, looking at this situation, I can't go back in the short term, so I decided to go back to my original sect." ”

"Oh, why have you never heard of your original sect!"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a small sect, in a few days it will be my master's death day, go and accompany his old man. ”

"In this case, Brother Cheng will go early and return early, and in another year, it will be a big competition in the inner door of the academy, don't miss it. ”

"Tell me about the situation. ”

Jian Yinghao opened the topic and said: "The Inner Gate Contest is a triennial competition in the academy, and the participants include inner disciples, personal disciples, courtyard attendants, etc., as long as the cultivation is under the gods, they can sign up to participate!"

Cheng Ling was taken aback, Qiu Ruojian's figure flashed in his mind, and asked, "Even the courtyard attendants can participate, so don't the inner disciples and core disciples have no hope of winning?"

"Brother Cheng, you don't know much about the situation in the academy, no wonder you have such thoughts. Although the academy attendants are strong in cultivation and enjoy more resources, they need to take on the daily affairs of the academy and occupy a lot of time. ”

"Some core disciples and personal disciples are unwilling to spend their time on this, and their combat power may not be much weaker than that of the courtyard attendants. You see, before I was promoted to the gods, I didn't want to become a court attendant. ”

Cheng Ling suddenly asked, "Inner Gate Dabi, are the disciples of the three Taoist academies doing it together?"

"Yes, at the time of the big competition, the three Taoist monasteries were carried out at the same time. In the past ten years, the disciples of the Dharma Academy have been overpowering the Kendo Academy and the Martial Arts Academy, so my uncle hopes that you can achieve good results in the big competition. ”

Cheng Ling was embarrassed and said: "I have just entered the Yuanying Consummation, where is the opponent of those disciples, the master of the Sword Academy also thinks too highly of me." ”

"No, Brother Cheng's kendo talent has only been seen in his life, and there is still a year to go, and he will definitely be able to improve again. Don't underestimate the inner door of the big competition, which involves the vital interests of the Three Avenue Academy. ”

"Why?"

"The ranking of Dabi is very important for the various Taoist institutes, especially the competition for the top 10. Which academy has the most disciples entering the top ten, in the next three years, the resources of the academy will be tilted towards that academy. This is a rule set by the three generations of academy masters, and appropriate competition is conducive to the development and growth of the academy. ”

Cheng Ling nodded silently, just like the competition of modern enterprises, healthy competition can indeed maintain the upward heart of the disciples of the academy. However, these are still too far away, and with his current combat strength, he is really not sure whether he can enter the top ten in the ring.

He said, "In one year, I'll do my best!"

Cheng Ling asked about some of the disciples who participated in the competition, and then said goodbye and left. The core disciples and the inner disciples are a little different, the inner disciples need to apply for the experience when they go out, and the core disciples are much freer, as long as they complete the tasks of the academy, how they cultivate is up to them.

Leaving the Famous Sword Academy, Cheng Ling returned to his heart like an arrow. For more than a year, the Phaseless Sword Sect didn't know how it was developing. When I left, I left behind a lot of resources and exercises, and after a year has passed, I should have made great progress.

Originally, he wanted to take Song Yuan and the Cheng family back together, but now that the Zhuyin Pavilion was surrounded and couldn't be brought out, he could only entrust Jian Yinghao to pass the news to them, and then rush to the Wuxiang Sword Sect when the news passed.

He also made some changes to the arrangement of the three people. Jian Wuya helped him break through to sixty percent of the sword intent, this kindness had to be repaid, and the other party also planned to promote himself to an elder. That being the case, he decided to will

The two Cheng family enshrined in the Kendo Academy.

Those two have been enshrined in the Cheng family for a hundred years, and their identities are easy to identify. The Wuxiang Sword Sect is still too weak to resist the wrath of the Cheng family, and it will be different if it is put in the Kendo Academy, no matter how domineering the disciples of the Cheng family are, they will not dare to ask for someone from the Kendo Academy.

In this way, the Sword Dao Academy has two more Dan Dao Grandmasters, and the Wuxiang Sword Sect avoids being targeted by the Cheng family, killing two birds with one stone. As for Song Yuan, he must be brought to the Wuxiang Sword Sect, this person has excellent business acumen, and has the cultivation of the peak of the middle of the Yuan Infant, and he is also a combat force in the Wuxiang Sword Sect.

And he didn't have a long time in the Cheng family, and now he has been banned by himself, he is responsible for the sect's external trade, and the resources in the Wuxiang Sword Sect are endlessly provided, and in the long run, the strength of the sect will only get stronger and stronger.

Back then, from the Wuxiang Sword Sect to the Famous Sword Academy, Cheng Ling spent more than a month. Now, he went back much faster, and in less than ten days, the familiar mountain gate appeared in front of him.

Falling lightly in front of the mountain gate, two disciples greeted him, and one of the new disciples asked, "Who is Your Excellency, what is the important matter of coming to my Wuxiang Sword Sect?"

The other rubbed his eyes, looked at Cheng Ling carefully, hurriedly pulled the disciple beside him, knelt down and said, "Sect Master, you are the Sect Master, you are back!"

With a flick of Cheng Ling's hand, the two of them couldn't kneel down and stood up. He smiled and said, "Yes, I'm back." You guys take good duty and don't have to kneel!"

After speaking, he walked straight towards the mountain gate. He wanted to see what changes had made in the sect over the past year or so.

Walking up the stairs along the mountain gate, I sighed in my heart that it has been fifteen years since I came to this world. I thought that I followed the master and walked for most of the day to reach the Taoist temple, but now, as long as I want to, I can reach it in an instant.

For fifteen years, he did not think about parents and children on earth. But it seems that there is no going back. He also gradually integrated into this world of monasticism, where he had friends and inseparable concerns.

Now, the master's revenge has been avenged. The Phaseless Sword Sect is its own root in this world, and it must be carried forward, so that it can wander outside without scruples and ascend to a higher realm.

Climbing upwards step by step, the momentum around him became stronger and stronger. The mind is clear, and the mind is clear. In the past, I felt that I had been burdened with the deep hatred of my master, as well as Cheng Xueyao's heavenly oath. At this moment, all put it down.

The true distance in the body naturally followed the route of the exercises, and a trace of Dao rhyme emanated, and with each step forward, the true yuan seemed to become more refined. He is like entering the mysterious realm of hearing the Tao and dying at night, and falls into an epiphany.

The disciples on both sides of the mountain road had already seen Cheng Ling's figure. They were all overjoyed and hurriedly reported to the upper echelons of the sect, while the other disciples quietly watched Cheng Ling move forward slowly, not daring to make a sound.

Soon, Liu Qingyan, Xi Yan, Xiao Changtian, Xuan Wuxiang and others all received the news of Cheng Ling's return to the sect, and they all walked out of their retreat room and went to greet them.

Xiyan was the most excited, Cheng Ling had left the sect for more than a year, she thought about it day and night, and couldn't wait to chase after her to the Famous Sword Academy. It's just that there are still Dantang's responsibilities in the sect, and he doesn't want to live up to Cheng Ling's trust, so he forced himself to press it down.

Now, she has reached the realm of the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and when she received the news of Cheng Ling's return to the sect, she didn't think about it, and came to the mountain road with a teleportation, and was about to throw herself into the other party's arms and cry. A bare hand grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, he's in an epiphany now, don't bother." ”

Xiyan turned his head and saw that it was Liu Qingyan. Her speed is much faster than Xiyan's

, and the insight is extraordinary, at a glance, he can see the state in front of Cheng Ling, and hurriedly stop Xi Yan from stepping forward.

Soon, Xiao Changtian, Xuan Wuxiang, Zhang Hu and others all came to the mountain road, and when they saw Cheng Ling's state, they didn't dare to step forward to interrupt easily. just followed Cheng Ling's steps up the mountain, silently accompanying him.

The mountain road is not long, but it took Cheng Ling four hours to come to the square of the sect master's hall. As soon as he stepped on the flat ground, a fierce sword intent emanated from his body, and he rose into the sky. Everyone was shocked and retreated.

"Such a high sword intent, I can't imagine that in just one year, I will be promoted to the peak of Yuanying Consummation, and even I am not necessarily his opponent!" Liu Qingyan was surprised in his heart and muttered.

"Hum~~!"

In Cheng Ling's mind, there was a buzz, and the momentum of his whole body instantly retracted, returned to his usual state, and slowly opened his eyes, with great joy in his heart.

The epiphany in the mountain road made his true yuan refine again, and almost all of them reached the peak of the consummation of the yuanying. Not only that, but the sword intent is also more pure because of the transparency of the soul, without half a magazine, and the sword intent that has just been promoted to sixty percent has gone one step further and reached the middle of sixty percent!

In my mind, the spiritual power is like a clear lake, which does not make half a wave, it appears more pure and transparent, and the total amount of spiritual power has also increased slightly. Such an improvement is simply a surprise.

He bowed down to Liu Qingyan and said, "Uncle Liu, I'm back!"

Liu Qingyan smiled slightly, bowed in return, and said, "Congratulations to the sect master, welcome back to the sect!"

As soon as her voice fell, the disciples around her cheered in unison! "Sect Master, Sect Master!"

Xiyan's eyes were red, and she slowly walked to Cheng Ling's side, grabbed his hand, and said, "Brother Ling, you're finally back!"

Cheng Ling smiled slightly, brushed the hair on her forehead, and said, "Yes, I'm back, I've worked hard for you this year!"

Zhang Hu jumped out and said, "Master, when will Sister Xiyan become a teacher!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Xiyan shyly buried her head in Cheng Ling's chest, unable to speak for a while. Cheng Ling was embarrassed, and secretly scolded the stinky boy, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, he really doesn't know how to answer.

Xiao Changtian was old and refined, and hurriedly interjected: "Okay, the sect master has just come back, he must be tired, don't stand outside, let's enter the main hall to talk." ”

Cheng Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Xiao Changtian gratefully, and beckoned everyone to enter the sect master's hall.

Xi Yan also reacted, leaving Cheng Ling's embrace, everyone hugged together, and walked towards the sect master's hall.

After entering the main hall, everyone took their seats. Cheng Ling asked Xuan Wuxiang, "Senior Brother Xuan, I've worked hard for the past year, I don't know what the situation of the sect is now?"

Cheng Ling went to the Famous Sword Academy, and all the affairs in the sect were basically taken care of by Xuan Wuxiang, after all, he had been the sect master for many years, and he was comfortable with these.

Hearing Cheng Ling's question, he smiled slightly, and said: "The sect has developed very well this year, and the number of disciples is about to exceed 100,000. The congregations live in harmony with each other, and they are no longer as confrontational as they used to be!"

Cheng Ling nodded with joy and said: "That's good, in the past year, I have been wandering outside and getting a lot of resources, I believe that with these resources, the strength of the sect will definitely improve again in the future." ”

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a large number of storage rings appeared on the long table in the center of the main hall. All the people opened their mouths wide and could not speak.

Zhang Hu swallowed hard and said, "Master, with so many storage rings, how many families have you robbed?"
