The island of ice and fire, because there is a volcano on the island, is like summer all year round. Thousands of kilometers away from the island of ice and fire, there are small icebergs floating on the sea.

On the Ice and Fire Island, there is a sect of cultivating immortals, the Daoxu sect, but it is also a Taoist sect. Due to the separation of volcanoes, the sects were divided into two factions: the body and the law. The Dao Void Body School believes that the body is the foundation of everything, and only when the physical level goes up, the spiritual power and divine thoughts in the body are not rootless water. The Dao Void School believes that spells are the representative of everything, and the level of cultivation will be expressed through spells.

In the middle of the volcano in the center of Ice and Fire Island, there is the immortal hall of the Void Sect's founding patriarch, the Void Daoist, so the two factions will hold a disciple competition on the volcano arena every year to compete for the right to defend the volcano for a hundred years.

This day is another 100 years later, and the competition is renewed to fight for the right to defend the volcano. The two sides belong to the same school, and of course the competition can't be heavy-handed, so there will be a situation where the winner cannot be separated from the winner in each competition.

When such a situation occurs, the two masters negotiate and distinguish the high and low according to the performance of the competition. In order to prevent both sides from ignoring their faces and messing around, before each competition, an instrument test will be held, and the ancestor in the mountain will be asked to be a witness.

In this competition, the thirteen disciples also knelt down to worship the ancestors together, and asked the ancestors to witness the battle for the right to defend the volcano once every hundred years, and it was also a collision of different theories on both sides.

The two sect masters took eleven disciples, and in the process of holding the ceremony, Jiang Lin and Zheng Yijian happened to come down from the crater.

Jiang Lin saw that a group of people were kneeling on a platform to offer incense, and hurriedly pulled Zheng Yijian to the side. Above the platform, near the stone wall, is a stone table, about three meters long. The image of the patriarch hangs on the stone wall, and there are incense burners and fruit bowls on the table. In the second half of the platform, several stone tables are placed on each side, and all kinds of melons and fruits are also placed on the stone table.

After the ceremony was completed, Yuan Yihao, the sect master of the Dao Void Body Sect on the left, shouted angrily and flew towards the two of them.

Zheng Yijian stroked the long sword with his right hand, and Yuan Yihao flew back upside down, and asked in surprise, "Sword power?"

Gu Zhongyu, the sect master of the Dao Void Law Sect on the right, stepped forward and asked Jiang Lin and the others, "I wonder if the two of you came from the underground, what happened to the Dao Void Sect?"

Gu Zhongyu stood side by side with Yuan Yihao, secretly on guard.

After Jiang Lin also gave up his hand, he replied, "Excuse me, the two of us did come up from the underground through the volcano, and it was an accident to come to your faction." ”

Gu Zhongyu thought for a moment and replied, "Since the two of you have come to my Dao Void Sect, can you be the witnesses of this disciple competition in the sect?"

Yuan Yihao thought for a while, nodded and said, "This method is good, last time Gu'er, your disciple obviously lost, but he refused to admit it." We should have invited a few friends to witness a long time ago, and this time two Taoist friends happened to be here, so let's start this time. ”

Jiang Lin turned his head to ask Zheng Yijian's opinion, and after seeing Zheng Yijian nodding, he said with a smile, "It is our honor to witness the competition of disciples of your sect. ”

After the two sect masters first invited Jiang Lin and Zheng Yijian to sit down at the head of each side, the disciples took their seats separately. The two sect masters sitting above announced the official start of the disciple competition.

On the left side, there are four men and two women and six disciples in turn, and only the next generation of disciples who have entered the origin are eligible to participate in the disciple competition once every hundred years, and on the right side of the Dao Void Dharma School there are three women and two men in turn, and the female disciples of the Dharma School are ranked higher than the male disciples.

The two masters of the Dao Void Sect are only one foot away from the realm of great power, but they can't fight at will, and the damage is too great.

Yuan Yihao, the sect master of the Dao Void Body Sect on the left, stood up and said, "Please be polite to the food on the table of the two Daoists, the red snake-like fruit on the table is a specialty of my Ice and Fire Island, the red snake fruit, which can strengthen the spirit and strengthen the body." This time, there are six disciples in my body faction, and this first one will be sent by my faction first. Hong'er, it's better for you to take the lead. ”

After Yuan Hong got up and waved to the two sect masters, he arched his hand to the disciple of the Dharma sect on the right and said, "I don't know which junior brother or sister will teach you. ”

Jiang Lin sat at the top of the right side, picked up a red snake fruit and tasted it, it tasted good. The senior sister of the Dharma sect beside Jiang Lin got up, and after bowing to the two sect masters, she replied to Yuan Hong, "Last time, my ancient fire spirit competed with my senior brother, this time it's up to me to try how senior brother's cultivation has improved in the past hundred years." ”

Zheng Yijian, who was on the other side, took out a vat of spirit wine at this time and was distributing it to everyone to taste, wine is the most suitable thing to make friends.

Yuan Hong and Gu Huo Ling walked to the end of the arena, and the two masters casually laid down the prohibition, raised their glasses and motioned for everyone to taste the spirit wine taken out by Zheng Yijian.

In the distance, the ancient fire spirit pulled out two fire dragon talismans beside him, and laid a large area of fire wall on the ground. Yuan Hong approached and slashed at the fire dragon with his empty hand.

Yuan Yihao said to Jiang Lin and the others, "You see, it's basically the same as the last competition, because you can't play too heavy, so it's difficult for these two people to tell the winner." However, no matter what, the ancient fire spirit's fire-based spell can't break Hong'er's body, and he will lose after all. ”

Gu Zhongyu said angrily, "If you don't swear before the competition, the competition will not distinguish between life and death, and Ling'er will not dare to use some powerful spells, as for the current situation?"

Jiang Lin sat on the side and felt a little funny, and couldn't help but propose, "It's really difficult for them to compete between life and death, why don't you compete in another way? For example, the competition of who kills the demon beast is of higher value, who has more origin disciples than whom, and so on, these methods can show strength without fighting each other." ”

Yuan Yihao said embarrassedly, "I have had this idea for a long time, but one is because this kind of competition method has been passed down from generation to generation, and every second reason is that it is not easy to find a method that both factions agree on. For example, if there are more origin disciples than anyone else, the Fa sect will definitely not agree. ”

Gu Zhongyu laughed angrily, "Who have more origin disciples than anyone? What is there to compare it to, it has always been your disciple who has more disciples, and it is easier to cultivate the body than to cultivate the Fa, and the competition should still depend on whose disciple has the strength." ”

Yuan Yihao also said angrily, "Cultivating the body is easier than cultivating the Fa, that is only the early stage, and cultivating the body is easy to cultivate and difficult to refine." ”

The views of the two have been formed for a long time, Jiang Lin does not correct the theories of the two factions, there is always a certain truth in existence, in Jiang Lin's view, the three bodies of body, qi and spirit are all one, and one is indispensable. Of course, Jiang Lin's point of view is probably wrong, and the entire Buddhist monks are focusing on the cultivation of divine thoughts. The monk's life energy is limited, and it is helpless to choose one or the other.

Jiang Lin persuaded, "Didn't the two of you let us be witnesses, why don't we make a suggestion and change the way of the competition, this kind of competition is really not suitable, the two have entered a stalemate stage, I'm afraid they won't be able to tell the winner in a few months." ”

Zheng Yijian nodded and agreed, "Yes, this competition is really meaningless, it is better to let them all go down to the secret realm, and at the specified time, see who brings back the harvest." Or under the surrounding sea, there seem to be a lot of demon beasts, which can make them more prey than anyone else. ”

Yuan Yihao asked Gu Zhongyu, "In your opinion, what is Zheng Daoyou's suggestion?"

Gu Zhongyu said in embarrassment, "There is no standard for the value of this harvest, and it is very difficult to enter the underground secret realm by going through the ancestral immortal hall." The demon beasts under the surrounding sea are all in a group, and it is easy to cause trouble."

Jiang Lin said with a smile, "There are still many passages from the top of the mountain to the secret realm to avoid the Immortal Palace, and the specific value of the harvest, we can make a list of most of the resources that are easy to obtain, and mark the specific values respectively, so that they can go down and compete for the things listed, and the things that are under the space bag will be considered to have a home." The list of resources can be constantly updated, and you can also raise monsters in a large area in the secret realm. In the long run, a new competition will definitely be formed, and you can also leave a name for eternity. ”

Yuan Yihao clapped his hands and said, "This is good, we can make a list first, and we can specify a certain item at the beginning." The list can be updated continuously, and every time something is added, it needs to be confirmed by both factions at the same time, and the specific value needs to be negotiated by both factions at the same time. Moreover, in such a big secret realm below, some demon beasts should be kept in captivity and used for training for their disciples. ”

Yuan Yihao belongs to the radical faction and likes some new ideas and new views, while Gu Zhongyu is more conservative and likes stability.
