C50 Beginning of the immortal path great assembly!
Time past two months
Recently, news about the Immortal Path Congress began to spread crazily and in the past few days, when the A Gate's disciple list was made public, it caused an uproar among the disciples.
According to the public name list of A Gate, in this alone, there were six people whose strength had reached the ethereal state, and the most eye-catching person was naturally Zhou Tong. Most of the disciples who entered the sect at the same time as Zhou Tong were still stuck at Qi Refinement Realm and the stronger ones were only around the fifth level of qi generating state. However, Zhou Tong's name was high on the fourth rank of the A Gate's list.
Zhou Tong carefully read through the list of people. Other than him knowing Di Bei, who was ranked first, and Xue Yang, who had recently broken through and was ranked sixth, Zhou Tong did not normally see the remaining four people, but luckily, every person's characteristics on the list were marked very vividly. There was even a portrait painting included which helped Zhou Tong determine the target very well.
On the day of the opening ceremony of Immortal Path Congress, it could be said to be the busiest day of the year for Star Gauze Sword Sect.
Early in the morning, a few hundred disciples from the three great doors gathered at the top of the mountain. When Zhou Tong and Xue Yang arrived at the outside of the plaza, they looked at the people blocking the plaza's entrance, and became speechless.
The moment they passed through the passage, all sorts of noises suddenly sounded out, and when they raised their heads to look at the densely packed crowd, Zhou Tong and Yue Yang could not help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
The two of them slowly walked along the bottom of the plaza, and before they could even find their bearings, their eyes were attracted by the scene in front of the other special tunnel, where a group of people crowded around Di Bei like stars surrounding the moon. Di Bei was looking in his direction, and upon seeing his gaze, his face revealed a cold smile, and although his lips were moving slightly, Zhou Tong was able to discern what he was saying.
"I want your face to sweep the floor today!"
A hint of coldness flashed through his eyes, but Zhou Tong's face had a hint of a shallow smile on it. He nodded slightly at Di Bei, and his mouth also moved: "Just come at me."
"Little brother, if you are going to fight with Di Bei, be extra careful. Although I really want to defeat him myself, but if we meet him, do not hold back. If the Immortal Path Congress has a life or death situation, he might do something too excessive, so be careful." Xue Yang, who had been paying attention to Di Bei, naturally discovered the secret battle between the two and immediately warned him softly.
"Got it, Big Brother, don't worry." Zhou Tong slightly nodded his head, and did not refute him. After all, he was ranked number one on the A Gate, so no matter how weak he was, he had to have some skills.
Not long after Di Bei entered the plaza, another young lady dressed in red also slowly walked in. As she did so, many gazes in the arena immediately shot toward her.
"Hey, that girl is Feng Qian. She is ranked second, and is rumored to be the granddaughter of one of the Four Great Islands's island masters, the 'Flaming Island'." Xue Yang said as he nodded towards the girl, who had caused quite a few people to jeer.
Following Xue Yang's instructions, Zhou Tong glanced at the girl and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Honestly speaking, Feng Qian could be considered a beauty now, or at least he could be considered quite handsome. Some of the key parts were even well-developed, and the loose clothes that the A Gate wore were rather tight.
But compared to looks, Feng Qian was more desirable. It should be his identity. Furthermore, the Star Gauze Sword Sect was a famous clan of the Cloud Dynasty. Even the experts in the dynasty would not dare to show too much arrogance in front of Grandpa Feng Qian, because even if one did not mention those experts who had walked out of the Star Gauze Sword Sect, just the power of their clan was enough to suppress many powers.
Many people understood in their hearts that if they could catch Feng Qian, not only would they be able to keep him warm in their arms, they would also be able to stop themselves from struggling for at least a few decades. However, even though many people were extremely interested in this type of enticement, those who dared to try were all covered in wounds and injuries.
Around half an hour later, the number of people in the open ground had finally crowded to a point where it was close to bursting. A black mass of people could not be seen at first glance. When the sun rose up high in the sky, the crisp sound of a bell rang out in the square.
The noisy open ground finally became a little quiet after hearing the sound of the bell. Countless gazes followed the sound of the bell and looked over. In the distance, a total of five old men stood side by side on the viewing gallery. The ones in the middle were the A Gate's Master and Taoist Master Bai Ling, while the four people beside him were the four Island Masters of the Star Gauze Sword Sect.
Taoist Master Bai Ling looked around, and an aged voice resounded throughout the plaza: "Disciples of the three sects, today, you all are facing a critical examination in your cultivation lives. Amongst you all, some have already worked hard for a few years, while some have only just entered the sect. Maybe this Immortal Path Congress is not fair to you, but the world of cultivators has always vied for a seat, I hope you all are aware of this! "
Glancing at the excited students, Taoist Master Bai Ling continued to laugh: Immortal Path Congress, to many of you, you are all strangers. Now, I will tell you the rules, raise your ears and listen carefully.
"First, during the period of Immortal Path Congress, all of you will go to the Wasteland and undergo a three-month assessment. Each of you will be assigned to a corresponding area based on your own strength.
"Second, with regards to points, hunting and killing berserk beasts will result in points. Of course, you can also choose to eliminate the others. Then, the points of those who are eliminated will be taken away. You can judge for yourselves!"
Third, and also the most important point, Immortal Path Congress, you can choose not to participate, but if you choose to participate, then you will be held responsible for your own life! You may have lost your lives to the claws and fangs of the fierce beasts, or you may have died to the hands of other disciples, who will help you survive.
"Then, please bear this in mind. Immortal Path Congress, begin!" With a wave of his hand, a teleportation array formation appeared in the middle of the plaza, and Taoist Master Bai Ling suddenly disappeared from the plaza.
"Do you understand the rules of the competition?" Xue Yang's eyes swept across the field once, and then looked at Zhou Tong, and asked softly.
"Of course, doesn't that mean we can start fighting now?" Licking his lips, Zhou Tong's face continued to show excitement, he extended his hand and grabbed onto the Meteorite Sword's sword, ready to make a move at any time.
"Boom!"
A myriad of magic tools and spells suddenly exploded out in a bewildering manner. Following a series of muffled sounds, the human figures in the stadium swiftly flashed and most of them were swiftly retreating towards the edge of the arena. They were afraid that they would be disqualified miserably in this kind of arena where there were enemies everywhere. Of course, there were also many that chose to directly rush towards the transmission array in an attempt to take advantage of it. But in the end, there were only three or five that managed to take advantage of it, and the vast majority of them fell into a chaotic battle.
Hehe, Junior Brother Bai Ling's idea is quite good. Although it is not fair, these little guys can be absolutely vigilant when taking precautions against insidious attacks. Moreover, the team members can also feel the strength of the team. Looking at the chaotic scene, an old man standing on the viewing platform laughed at Taoist Master Bai Ling.
Changing methods is fine, but now it seems that they are pretty good. Those who know their limits choose to join hands, and those who are confident in themselves can all display their strength. This is much more exciting than letting them enter the Wasteland. Taoist Master Bai Ling said with a smile, then cast his gaze towards the chaotic scene. As his gaze shifted, she locked onto a figure holding a black sword, her aged brows were filled with anticipation.
"Come, brat. Show me how capable you are."
