Walking up the wooden bridge over a river in the north, I turned all the way to the summit, and when I came into view, I saw a huge bluestone platform occupying the entire peak about the area of two football fields. The platform is surrounded by mountains and trees, and the entire summit platform is as if a large piece has been dug out of the middle.

In the center of the platform, there are three huge martial arts platforms built by Qinggang stone, one meter high, 25 meters long and wide, and they are distributed in the trend of three talents, and it is thought that it is the upcoming family competition venue. On the edge of the three-seater jousting platform, there is a weapon rack. On the east and west sides of the competition platform are two platforms built of bluestone, each with more than 100 seats, and in front of each third seat is a table. The canopy made of wooden frames above the platform has no effect even if it rains.

In the distance, there was a high platform built against the mountain wall, and on the high platform, thirteen middle-aged people, nine men and four women, were sitting at this time, and they were the thirteen elders of the present generation. They were talking about the young people in the audience who were scattered and practicing. Under the high platform, a total of forty-one children of the younger generation, some are practicing their martial arts, some are meditating and practicing qi, and some are standing together, exchanging experiences with each other.

"It's your first time here, the construction time of this platform can be traced back to more than 1,700 years ago, the patriarch of the family at that time, invited a senior in the clan to open up such a large platform, and then after ten years of bluestone paving, it was completed. Think about it, how powerful it is to directly open up such a large field with manpower. I don't know when I will be able to be like them and have such strength. As he spoke, Long Teng's eyes flashed with light, and his face was full of longing.

"Grandpa, I think that as long as you continue to practice according to the exercises given by your eldest brother, sooner or later, you will be able to have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea. Long Xingyu said with a slightly depressed dragon.

Listening to his grandson's words, Long Teng's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, sooner or later, one day, my strength will definitely surpass theirs, and there is no need to envy others here." As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Long Xingyu, "Xiaoyu, you are still farther away than your grandfather, hehe, let's go to the elders first, so that they can explain to you the rules and matters of the competition." Nodding, Long Xingyu followed his grandfather to the high platform.

On the high platform in the distance, there were already a few sharp-eyed elders who came up with a young man in Long Teng, who could only recognize them as the children of their own clan from their appearances, but they didn't remember who it was. I think that Long Xingyu was not big when he left the family, but now that so many years have passed, he has become a lot more mature, especially after entering the innate realm, the temperament of the whole person is completely different from before. After all the discussions, they were all speculating about Long Xingyu's identity.

"That young man's cultivation, I don't know through, could it be that he is the mysterious arrogant boy who has been rumored?" asked an elder with a slender face, a goatee, and triangular eyes.

"Didn't Long Teng say before that Aotian kid won't come back to participate in the competition, what's the matter?" said another elder sitting on his right.

"That's not Aotian, although his strength is not thorough, but his aura is not very calm, obviously just broke through, he has not fully mastered his own strength, and it is absolutely impossible for him to break through to the realm of condensation. As for Aotian, he had already reached the peak of his innate a few years ago, although he hadn't seen him for so many years, his personality was not the same, and that kid was very arrogant at the beginning. However, the way this young man and Long Teng spoke, although they were not humble, they at least had humility towards their elders, and they would definitely not be arrogant. However, the three elders seemed to be very reluctant to see Aotian. An elder sitting on the throne said lightly.

"The Great Elder is serious, I didn't mean that. But now that the Great Elder has confirmed that he is not Aotian, do you already know who he really is?" asked the Triangle-Eyed Elder from before.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the little doll you used to call trash. The Great Elder smiled slightly.

Triangle Eyes frowned and said, "Long Xingyu, it's impossible, when he was born, the meridians in his body were stagnant or even incomplete, how could he have a strength that even we can't see." Could it be that in just a few years, he has solved the limitations of his body and reached the peak of congenital failure. ”

"It shouldn't be, his strength shouldn't have reached the peak of innate nature, it may be that there is something hidden in his body. You must know that when he left the family, his cultivation was only the day after tomorrow, even if his talent was stronger than Aotian, it was impossible to surpass the innate ninefold in a short period of time, you must know that this is also a hurdle, and it is not so easy to break through. A female elder on the other side of the Great Elder said lightly.

"What the Eighth Elder said is reasonable, it took me nearly ten years to break through the Ninth Layer, even that little monster took a year. Not to mention that Long Xingyu's talent was not very good at the beginning, even if his physique improved, it was impossible for him to break through so much in a short period of time. The elder to the right of the three elders said.

"This may not be, maybe his talent is still above the sky, but he was limited by his physique at the beginning. Another female elder said.

"Hehe, this competition is a good show. The youngest elder to the left of the Great Elder glanced faintly at the Third Elder and the Sixth Elder.

Along the way, Long Xingyu carefully observed the young people who participated in the competition. I saw that among the forty-one people, thirty-three were male clansmen, and only eight female clansmen participated in the competition, but on the whole, the weakest ones had already broken through the innate realm, and there were four people who had reached the innate sixfold, and it was the four genius children. There is only one person who has reached the innate fivefold, and it seems that he has just broken through. There are seven people at the congenital quadruple level, ten people at the congenital triple level, twelve people at the congenital double level, and the remaining seven people are all congenital one.

Long Xingyu was observing those peers along the way, and those peers, in addition to those who were cultivating, were also observing Long Xingyu, guessing who he was. It's no wonder that even those elders can't recognize him, not to mention that there are few who had a good relationship with Long Xingyu at the beginning.

"Isn't it strange why there are so few women in attendance? In fact, you don't have to be surprised, many of the female clansmen of your generation have already married into other families, and those who are here have not yet left the cabinet. Long Teng felt a trace of doubt in Long Xingyu's eyes, so he explained.

"Then why didn't the little sister let her participate, didn't she also enter the innate realm. Long Xingyu asked.

"I didn't let her participate, that little girl, don't be in her twenties, just like a child, and play with that group of juniors all day long, although her talent is good, but when it comes to actual combat, it's too far behind. However, your third brother and fourth brother have participated, and with their strength of two or four levels, although they are not strong, they are also in the middle and upper reaches. Long Teng said helplessly.

When passing by the competition platform, two people came from the side, and Long Xingyu saw them with a smile on his face.

"Third brother, fourth brother, I saw you there just now. Long Xingyu said with a smile.

"Grandpa. The two bowed to Long Teng. Then he turned his head and looked at Long Xingyu carefully.

"Okay, you stinky boy, you have been gone for a few years, and you haven't come back, and you haven't even come to our brothers' weddings, don't you treat us as your brothers. Long Tianyu punched Long Xingyu on the shoulder, complaining a little.

"How can it be, third brother, fourth brother, I have actually missed you a lot over the years, but it was because of the original oath. So I never came back. Long Xingyu hurriedly explained.

"Alright, don't tease him. Long Shengyun on the side said towards Long Tianyu, said, turned his head to Long Xingyu and said, "Xiaoyu, you have been alone outside for so many years, it is really difficult for you, now you can come back, go to me at night, we will have a good drink." Let's get together brothers, and you can tell us about your experiences over the years. ”

"Yes, the outside world is very colorful, you will have to talk to us about it in a moment. Long Tianyu said on the side.

Nodding. Long Xingyu smiled: "I'm going to disturb the third brother that night." ”

"What bother, we're brothers. Oh, by the way, just introduce you to your sister-in-law and your little nephew. Long Shengyun laughed.

"Yes, I will also bring your fourth sister-in-law and your little niece over in the evening, and we will all get together. Long Tianyu also coaxed on the side.

Long Xingyu looked at the two brothers, and his eyes were full of smiles. Although the three have not seen each other for many years, the brotherhood is still the same.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, didn't the eldest brother come back to participate in the competition this time? The first two times he came back, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't come to see us. Long Tianyu asked.

"Yes, the eldest brother seems to have something to do, and he seems to disdain to participate in this competition. Long Xingyu said.

"Also, with the strength of the eldest brother, even if everyone here is combined, it is estimated that it will not be enough for him to beat him alone. It's really not fun to participate. But I just don't know if he has broken through to a higher realm. "Long Shengyun Dao.

"I've seen my eldest brother many times, and his strength has already broken through, and it seems that he has reached a height that we can't reach. But you also know that the eldest brother is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he doesn't seem to care about anything on the outside, but he cares very much about us brothers and sisters. It's just that he's not very good at expressing himself. Long Xingyu sighed and said.

"Yes, as a genius in the clan, he spent his time in cultivation since he was a child, and he didn't have a happy childhood like us at all, but he was really good to us, and he thought about us when he was good. Long Tianyu said nostalgically.

"Alright, what do you want, we'll talk about it in the evening. I'm going to take Xiaoyu up to meet those elders first, so that he can know the rules of the competition. You two go and practice hard, if you embarrass the old man and me in the competition, how will I punish you. The dragon on the side said that the three brothers couldn't stop, so they interrupted. And Long Tianyu and Long Shengyun also knew each other very well, and as soon as they were told by their grandfather, they returned to the venue to continue to learn.

Long Xingyu also followed his grandfather and walked briskly in the direction of the high platform.
