A butterfly, swaying in the shrunken autumn wind, streaks across a messy trail.

The autumn wind gusted, like a sharp steel knife dancing in the air. It seems that the butterfly in the wind is so helpless! under the influence of the autumn wind, it flies higher and higher, farther and farther...

Lifting the thin quilt covering his body, Meng Chen sat up. Shook his dizzy head.

"It's a damn dream again!"

After getting dressed, it didn't matter if it was still early in the morning, the sky was only slightly dark, Meng Chen brushed his messy hair, walked out of the cave, and came to Zongmen Square.

In the distance, the tall competition platform built of iron pine wood still stands in the center of the square, as if it is still telling the world about the glory of yesterday's stage!

After glancing at the test table, the corners of Meng Chen's mouth couldn't help but smile with bitterness.

I still remember that seven days ago, on this high platform, I was originally favored by the young generation of the entire Wuji Sect, and even some fanatically worshipped, but at the triennial big competition of the sect, I was knocked to the ground by the recognized waste material junior brother in the sect with only one move!

This matter has become the hottest topic in the entire Wuji Sect this year!

Recognized as the first talent in the Wuji Sect, at the age of sixteen, he cultivated the innate Wuji ** to the acquired Dacheng realm, and the genius boy Meng Chen, who had faintly entered the innate realm, and the undisputed first person of the star generation in the sect - Meng Chen, was defeated by a junior disciple with blunt qualifications and useless skills!

This incident shocked the entire Wuji Sect! It made all the old monsters in the sect unbelievable, and even more unacceptable! Because Meng Chen in their minds was the best candidate for the "Blood Forbidden Purgatory" to be held in the Wuji Sect half a year later.

The Blood Forbidden Purgatory is a grand event that all the sects in the entire Tianlan Realm will send their own Tianjiao figures of the younger generation to participate! This matter is not only related to the face of the sect, but also the top three sects can also get a different number of "Creation Pills".

This Creation Pill is a holy relic for the young generation of people in the Acquired Dacheng Realm to enter the Innate Qi Cultivation Realm! A monk with a Creation Pill in his hand is almost nine out of ten stable when he enters the Innate Qi Cultivation Realm!

Creation Pill, the anti-heaven elixir for the young generation of innate realm characters in the sect! The key to the prosperity of a sect!

Standing for a long time, until the sky was white, Meng Chen glanced at the towering platform, and the loneliness in his eyes became a little stronger. Just as he was about to move forward, a loud laugh with extreme arrogance sounded from behind the high platform:

"Hahaha... Isn't this the genius of the sect, Senior Brother Meng Chen? Hey, when you come to this competition today, don't you miss your former glory very much!

Hey, it's a pity, the number one sect now, it's already me who picks the stars!"

There was no need to look up, Meng Chen also knew that the person in front of him was Li Kui, the senior brother in the sect who was known as the star picker! Before the competition, Li Kui, the star picker, was a genius in the sect second only to Meng Chen in talent, and as the senior brother in the star generation, the star picker, like Meng Chen, was already a figure who had stepped into the innate qi cultivation realm with half a foot! It was also the object of extreme favor in the sect.

As the so-called both Shengyu and He Shengliang, this senior brother has always been jealous of Meng Chen's extraordinary talent and took away the glory of the first junior in his sect, and he was angry about this, and secretly competed with Meng Chen countless times in private. But every time it ended miserably!

As he spoke, a group of young monks wearing the same Tai Chi pattern robes as Meng Chen walked out from behind the test table.

The one at the front, tall and handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a pair of white and slender palms held flat in front of his chest. And the eyes of the handsome young man have been looking intently at his palms, as if there is nothing in this world that can surpass his obsession with his palms!

The dozen or so disciples of the Wuji Sect behind Xingzi were neatly arranged behind the senior brother, without the slightest deviation or messiness, and the eyes that looked at the senior brother were all full of extreme fanaticism!

They couldn't forget that from the beginning to the end on the competition platform, they had defeated all the senior brothers of all the sects with just one style of "flying stars and moon" swordsmanship!

This is the elder brother Li Kui, arrogant, coquettish, but not lost focus and persistence!

And Meng Chen, on the other side, since he entered the sect, in addition to focusing on cultivation, he has never dealt with people and occasionally released his amazing talents, all of which had to be revealed under the arrangement of the sect elders!

This has caused the younger generation in the sect, most of them are fanatical believers in Senior Brother Xingzi, and only a very small number of people worship Meng Chen's demonic qualifications and dedication to cultivation.

With Meng Chen's extremely disappointing performance on the competition table a few days ago, now, in addition to the slightest indifference, the eyes of everyone looking at him are also full of undisguised disdain!

"Look at that guy's bear-like appearance, the previous demon-like talent must have been faked, otherwise he has never shown any skills in front of people for so many years.

Right... It should be that he is afraid of being exposed by the sect to expose his disguise, it must be so!

Well, now that we can finally see this guy's face clearly, and he is still pretending to be pure and detached there, it's disgusting!"

Although Meng Chen had some slight waves in his heart about the star-picking and everyone's ridicule, he didn't want to pay attention to it at this time, and he didn't look at everyone, and walked towards the path leading to the mountain stream outside the sect.

"Why, just leave like this, Senior Brother Meng Chen, Senior Brother, I see that you seem to be a little dissatisfied with my position as the number one in this sect, why don't you be here today, you and I will have a good discussion, maybe that day at the competition meeting, Senior Brother, you may miss for a while, hahaha..."

As soon as everyone heard the words of Senior Brother Li Kui, they immediately echoed:

"Yes, yes, let Senior Brother let you know today, what is the real number one sect, that is the strength of the entire sect disciples with just one sword move, unlike some people, who rely on pretending to be gods and fooling the master to get back the false status, and when it comes to the real occasion, the original form will be revealed!haha..."

With everyone's support, the senior brother seemed extremely useful, and the already rich flying color on his face was even stronger!

But when he saw that Meng Chen was unmoved, still walking towards the mountain stream path by himself, Senior Brother's face gradually sank.

Sometimes, silence is also an extremely sharp counterattack!

Just like now, the senior brother saw that Meng Chen chose to ignore himself in front of everyone! His arrogant self-esteem seemed to be trampled on the soles of his feet, seeing Meng Chen walking farther and farther, the senior brother couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred, looked at the distant back, and almost roared out:

"Don't you want to know what I chose for the first reward of the sect this time?"

These words made all the disciples of the Wuji Sect behind Senior Brother immediately quiet down, quietly waiting for Senior Brother to say the result.

The reward of the number one in the sect can make these lowest-level star-character disciples blush to the point of madness every time! Whether it is **, sword technique, or elixir to improve cultivation, or the top-level magic weapon that all low-level disciples dream of, and the boundless power, it can make an ordinary disciple jump up, show his glory among the low-level disciples, and embark on the real smooth path of cultivation from now on!

To the disappointment of Xingzi, in addition to the admirers who followed him one by one who were full of expectations, Meng Chen, who wanted to keep his pace the most, did not show any signs of staying, and the lonely figure was getting farther and farther along the path

"Hey, hey, hey, you'll be interested to know!"

A trace of madness flashed in the eyes of Li Kui, who picked up the stars, and looked at the direction in which Meng Chen was gone, and his originally handsome face was a little distorted and shouted:

"I gave up the Creation Pill, I don't want any ** sword tricks and top-level magic weapons, I only ask the sect elders to cancel your qualification for the marriage between Meng Chen and the Xingyue Sect, the sect elders have acquiesced in this matter, once it is decided, then the person who forms a double cultivator with Chu Yiyue will become my star picking Li Kui"

This remark made Meng Chen, who was originally in a hurry, suddenly pause, and turned his head to look at Xingzi's gaze, which had already revealed a knife-like essence!

No matter what it is, Meng Chen can not care about it!

Ever since that strange butterfly dream appeared a year ago, his own cultivation, which could have steadily entered the Innate Qi Cultivation Realm, had inexplicably begun to regress! He had already lost too much

Self-confidence, hope, the firmness to always protect one's brother, and the persistence to seek the truth

Everything came to naught with the appearance of that strange dream!

The only thing that makes him full of warm attachment is a beautiful shadow like water, with a long skirt fluttering, like a fairy in the Moon Palace

There is also that Rulan simple sentence that is still recalled in my ears:

"Brother Meng Chen, if Yiyue can form a double monk with you in this life and walk towards the path of seeking the Tao together, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, he will not be afraid!

I vaguely remember that I was still in ignorance that day, and when the beautiful woman around me asked about this, Meng Chen only responded silently in his heart thousands of times - I am not afraid, not afraid

But he didn't say a word out of his mouth

Seeing that his words finally took effect, Xingzi's originally crazy eyes gradually calmed down, and a flash of color flashed in his eyes towards Meng Chen:

"How is it, junior brother, in this Wuji Sect, if you want to get everything, you have to speak with strength, in the past few years, you have deeply experienced too many benefits of respecting strength!

As the tone suddenly increased, the crazy color in Xingzi's eyes reappeared, and he did not hide the jealousy attached to his eyes, and stared at Meng Chen fiercely:

"In this Wuji Sect, I am the first person of the young generation to pick up the stars!

The words of picking up the stars echoed in Meng Chen's ears:

"Yes, the strong are respected, this is the supreme principle of heaven and earth!

Didn't all the favor of the sects he had won before also rely on his own cultivation day and night, plus his talent that was a little better than others?

This is the law, and it is also the iron law that everyone has been silently pursuing in their hearts!

Now that my cultivation has inexplicably regressed, everything I had before should have been obtained by those who came from behind. ”

After gradually regaining his composure, Meng Chen glanced at Li Kui, the star picker, and a strong desire rose in his heart again:

"I'm going to be stronger!

I'm going to get back to cultivating!

I want the sect to return everything that originally belonged to me Meng Chen back into my hands again!

Including--The most important qualifications in my heart and the dual cultivation of the month!"

Ignoring the clamor of the star pickers, Meng Chen walked farther and farther towards the mountain stream path

Behind him, the voice of Xingzi came:

"Two days later, it will be the day when the Xingyue Sect will come to worship the mountain and settle for marriage, Meng Chen, you must come to watch the ceremony at that time, hahaha"
