On the day of the challenge, Qin Deng got up early, exercised his pranayama, and adjusted himself to the best state.

The challenge was held in the huge square at the top of Songyue Peak, and Qin Deng rushed to the top of the mountain after completing his breathing.

Today, the top of the mountain is open to all disciples and can be entered at will.

On the way up the mountain, there were many disciples, either in groups or alone, and they all hurried to the top of the mountain to watch or participate in the challenge.

When these people saw Qin Deng, they couldn't help but talk about it, but Qin Deng ignored it completely and concentrated on hurrying.

Qin Deng is now cultivating to make great progress, and his physique is better than before, and he quickly reached the top of the mountain.

There were already a large number of people on the top of the mountain, and the sound was extremely loud!

In the middle of the square at the top of the mountain, four square challenge platforms of nearly two acres in size and more than one person high were built for the challenge competition.

The four decks are next to each other, and each deck is separated by more than two feet. Due to the large number of participants, the four challenge stations will be challenged at the same time.

On the east side of the challenge platform, there is a grandstand slightly higher than the challenge platform, and three rows of golden silk bamboo chairs are placed on it, which is the place where the head and the elders sit.

Before the hour came, the head and the elders had not yet arrived, and the outer disciples, inner disciples, and elite disciples each occupied a certain area, either exchanging experiences, or chatting about the old days, or discussing the next challenge.

There were even some true disciples who were usually difficult to see, and they appeared in the square.

The Songyue Sect's Qualifying Challenge was set up exclusively for the former disciples of the foundation building, and was held once a year to motivate the disciples to work hard to cultivate.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they work hard to cultivate, outer disciples can reach the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Root within twenty years. Inner disciples can reach the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Root within five years, and elite disciples can achieve the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Root within five years.

The challenge is divided into two types, one is the inner door challenge, where the outer disciple can arbitrarily challenge the inner disciple who has cultivated at the same level or is higher than himself, or the inner disciple who has cultivated for more than ten years.

The other is the Elite Challenge, where inner disciples can arbitrarily challenge elite disciples who have cultivated at the same level or higher than themselves, true disciples, or elite disciples and true disciples who have cultivated for more than five years.

The same disciple is allowed to challenge up to five times, with a half-hour break each time.

This is to prevent the disciples of the sect from being lazy in cultivation.

The previous year, when Qin Deng was still an elite disciple, he lost to an inner disciple. The victorious inner disciple became an elite disciple and obtained the cultivation resources that Qin Deng enjoyed. Qin Deng was demoted to an inner disciple.

This time, since Qin Deng used to be an elite disciple and had just completed five years of cultivation, any outer disciple who cultivated could challenge Qin Deng.

Because of the difference in spiritual root aptitude, unless the outer disciples are solid and strong in cultivation, it is generally difficult for them to defeat the inner disciples and elite disciples who are also in the realm of cultivation.

Even so, there are still a large number of participants in the challenge every year, and those with a little strength want to give it a try, hoping to be promoted to a higher level and obtain better cultivation resources.

After all, the cultivation resources obtained by high-level disciples are too different from those obtained by low-level disciples, one in heaven and one on earth.

"Isn't that Qin Deng, he also came, I heard that the spiritual root is withering and dying, I think he is in good spirits, not like a dying person"

"Maybe it's a return to the light, hehe! Elder Song said that he won't live to be sixteen years old. ”

"I heard that he was about to be unable to finish his Tenglong Fist, so it can be seen that his cultivation has regressed to the early stage of the spiritual root. It's been five years since he started, and there must be a lot of outer disciples who have challenged him this time. ”

"I don't know about the others, but among the outer disciples, Ma Jun has already released his words, and he wants to challenge Qin Deng and ask him to fall into the outer disciples. ”

"Ma Jun, I know, I heard that he is very strong among the outer disciples, and Liu Mingyu has sent him a lot of pills, so it is estimated that he has reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Spirit Root. ”

"Hey...... Qin Deng, this person is very good, and now that he has become like this, this is really fate......"

Qin Deng walked into the square, and many disciples had already noticed his figure, and countless pairs of eyes looked at him, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, pity, ridicule, and schadenfreude.

There may be people in the entire Songyue Sect who don't know Qin Deng, but there is absolutely no one who has never heard of Qin Deng's name.

Everyone knows about the battle between Qin Deng and Liu Mingyu three years ago.

"Smack!" Qin Deng was patted on the shoulder.

Qin Deng turned around and saw that it was a disciple wearing the clothes of a true disciple, this person was tall, with a square face, a slightly dark face, and thicker lips than ordinary people, seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Ah, Senior Brother Lei, you have successfully cultivated spirits, reached the foundation building stage, and been promoted to a true disciple, great, congratulations to Senior Brother Lei!" Qin Deng immediately reacted.

"I obtained a fire-attribute high-grade spirit seed from the Spirit Seed Garden, and I almost lost my life for this high-grade spirit seed. When I came back, I kept retreating to recuperate, and then carried out the foundation building period of the spirit seeding, and finally succeeded in planting the spirit two days ago!" Lei Peng said with a smile, and there was a hint of joy on his face that could not be concealed.

This young man's name is Lei Peng, he is kind and gentle, with a six-grade spiritual root, Qin Deng was still an elite disciple when he started, and he took good care of Qin Deng.

Five years ago, Lei Peng and a group of other disciples who had cultivated to be stable in the Great Perfection of the Spirit Root entered the Spirit Seed Garden to select the Spirit Seed. Since then, there has been no news.

Unexpectedly, a very small number of high-grade spirit seeds were obtained in the Spirit Seed Garden, and when I saw them again five years later, I had successfully planted the spirit foundation and became a true disciple.

"Senior Brother Lei, what kind of place is the Spirit Garden, and how can there be a danger to your life?" Qin Deng couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The Spirit Seed Garden is extremely vast, and there are dangers everywhere inside, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. Our Songyue Sect has a total of more than sixty disciples, and I only came back twenty-six, which is more than half of the loss.

But wealth is sought in danger, and it is also full of opportunities, as long as you don't die in it, you will generally have a huge harvest.

For example, this time, a disciple of the Haojian Sect named Leng Jianqiu obtained a rare Xuan-level spirit seed in a hundred years - a dual-attribute Thunder Fire Sycamore Wood Spirit Seed. Lei Peng said briefly, and Qin Deng listened attentively.

"Don't talk about it, Senior Brother Qin, you'll know when you go in by yourself in the future, and the sect elders will tell you in detail before you go in. Lei Peng was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and then said:

"Senior Brother Qin, I also heard about you after I came back from the Spirit Seed Garden, but after I came back, I was busy with retreat and healing and cultivating spirits, have you recovered physically, don't be discouraged, you will definitely get better." I see that you are in good spirits now, is it that the withering of the spiritual root has been relieved. ”

"Thank you Senior Brother Lei for your concern, my spiritual root is no longer withering, and is slowly recovering, and my body is much better now. Qin Deng replied.

"That's great, the genius of our Songyue Sect is back, haha. Lei Peng is broad-minded and sincerely happy for Qin Deng.

"The younger brother wants to wait for the challenge to come to the sect after the challenge. Qin Deng said in a low voice.

"Little junior brother, do you want some people to suffer some hardships, too, some people should teach a good lesson!" Lei Peng thought about it and understood a little, Qin Deng has been ridiculed all these years, and he must untie this knot in his heart, otherwise the knot in his heart will not be solved, and it will affect the progress of cultivation.

Lei Peng said some words of encouragement to Qin Deng, and then said goodbye and left.

Qin Deng looked at the square again, and now that he was talking, there were twice as many people in the square as when he came.

It is estimated that almost everyone has arrived, and it is estimated that the hour is approaching, and the head and the elders should also arrive soon.

As usual, before the game, the inner disciples stood on the side of the challenge Taipei, and the elite disciples stood on the south side of the challenge platform. The largest number of outer disciples, this is opposite the stand where the head and the elders are seated, on the west side of the challenge platform.

Qin Deng raised his eyes and looked at it, the outer disciples were black, there were thousands of people, the inner disciples were only two or three hundred, and the elite disciples were the least, only forty or fifty.

Qin Deng walked briskly towards the place where the inner disciple was.

Along the way, all the disciples stared at him with strange eyes, and many people were speculating whether Qin Deng would drop another level and become an outer disciple.

Some people even opened a gambling game in private, betting on whether Qin Deng would become an outer disciple.

Qin Deng had been accustomed to it all these years, turned a blind eye, walked to the north, found a corner to stand, and then began to close his eyes and wait for the challenge to begin.
