Chapter 132: Live Broadcast
In the Qiandao Sect, within the inner sect’s small world of Five Elements, five Nascent Soul Stage disciples, who were in seclusion in their respective caves, were awakened by the sect’s communication artifact.
The five disciples, initially annoyed at being interrupted, could only smile wryly upon seeing the sender of the message. A summons from the sect’s big shot was not something they could ignore.
A disciple from an external sect had issued a challenge, with fighting strength at least at the unmatched level. If they won, the reward would be a trip to the five-element secret realm.
Reading the message, the five disciples instantly perked up. Being unmatched might be just an adjective in other sects, but in Qiandao Sect, it was a description of one’s rank.
Mediocre, Extraordinary, Unmatched, Peerless, and Genius.
These are the fighting strength classifications in Qiandao Sect for inner sect disciples. Each stage comes with its own challenges, which also affect the resources one can gain later on.
Disciples who qualify for the inner sect have fighting strength of at least the Extraordinary level.
At the Qiandao Sect’s grand teleportation formation, the five inner sect disciples met.
“Brother Zhao, are you heading out on a mission? Where to? Let’s see if we can travel together,” one inner sect Nascent Soul disciple said. The teleportation costs were a bit painful for him; if they could share the cost, it would be delightful.
He thought it through: if he won, he could simply return using the teleportation formation and save a lot of resources with the reward from the five-element secret realm.
If he lost, no need to say a word; he would obediently fly back the million miles himself, saving some spirit stones in the process.
“I’m going to Spirit Heart Fairy City,” the inner sect Nascent Soul cultivator said flatly.
“So am I,” another voice replied with slight surprise, pleased to have company.
“I am too,” echoed three more voices in unison.
The five gathered, exchanging glances.
“I received a summon from Elder Yunfeng.”
“Me too.” X4
The camaraderie among the inner sect brothers instantly dissolved as five pairs of wary eyes turned towards the other four.
In the end, the five quietly pooled together the spirit stones needed to activate the teleportation formation and began the transfer.
That evening, Xu Gang’s family and Xu Yuexian gathered for dinner.
“The name Zhang Lingtai is quite nice too; let’s call you that from now on,” Xu Yuexian joked with her little nephew.
“No, I’m Xu Lingtai. Zhang Lingtai is my alias,” Little Lingtai shook his head and replied.
“No, you won’t be returning to the sect; you will follow that Refining Void senior to Qiandao Sect,” Xu Yuexian continued.
“I don’t want to; I still want to learn spells from my Master Ancestor,” Xu Lingtai turned his head away.
“Yuexian, do you think I can win two matches tomorrow?” Xu Gang asked. While he was confident in his strength, he knew Qiandao Sect was a top sect, and he wouldn’t be arrogant enough to believe he could defeat everyone.
“Big Brother, I’ve interacted with the disciples of Qiandao Sect, and I know their fighting strength classifications.”
“Your fighting strength can barely be rated as genius level in Qiandao Sect, based on your unmatched fighting strength shown yesterday.”
“They will likely send peerless level disciples to compete against you tomorrow. As long as you don’t act too relaxed, winning two matches should still be easy,” Xu Yuexian analyzed.
The Nascent Soul cultivator she once encountered, who sought to pursue her, was indeed a genius level disciple of Qiandao Sect. She felt that he was just average; if she hadn’t been worried about bringing trouble to her master, she would have taken him down long ago.
As for fighting strength, it was about the same as her brother’s.
“It’s fine; with me here, as long as we stay out of Fairy City, even a Core Formation stage cultivator wouldn’t dare to handle us,” Xu Yuexian said confidently. Common stealth techniques might not evade detection from a Core Formation stage cultivator, but she had plenty of peculiar escape methods at her disposal.
“Alright, I understand.”
The next day, after their meal, the three seniors and the little sister arrived at the Qianling Sect’s residence.
Inside the training hall of the Qianling Sect’s residence, five disciples were already waiting.
At this moment, the Void Refiners no longer held any underestimating feelings. For the sake of their future disciple, they had summoned four peerless level disciples and one genius level disciple just to be safe.
“Senior, let’s begin,” Xu Gang said as he bowed to the Void Refiner.
At this time, Xu Yuexian had already activated the Shadow Technique.
“Good, but this young lady is…” the Void Refiner said, looking at Xu Yuexian who was casting the Shadow Technique.
“Yesterday, our master heard that someone intended to take his disciple’s grandchild, so he wants to see how your sect’s disciples measure up. Is it worth entrusting his grandchild to you?”
Xu Yuexian’s words made the Void Refiner a bit awkward, given that he had belittled their small sect earlier.
“Changyu, you go first,” the Void Refining elder said.
The Void Refiner directly sent out one of the strongest disciples below the peerless level, prioritizing his student over his face.
“Yes, Elder.”
A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator stepped into the training hall.
At this moment, the two Core Formation Stage Elders from yesterday also arrived at the training hall.
Meanwhile, far away at the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, Xu Fan received a live broadcast from Xu Yuexian.
“It really works,” Xu Fan said with slight surprise. Upon hearing that his top disciple challenged a Qiandao Sect disciple yesterday, he suddenly became interested.
After consulting the Elder Council about the rules of the communication artifact, he instructed Xu Yuexian on how to link the Shadow Technique and the communication artifact.
Watching the live stream, Xu Fan smiled and said, “This world is becoming more interesting.”
Xu Fan waved his hand, enlarging the image and projecting it into the air.
He said to the two siblings behind him, who had just finished their basic education, “Sit down and watch together.”
“Yes,” the Lei siblings happily replied.
In the training hall.
“Qiandao Sect, inner sect disciple, Lin Changyu,” Lin Changyu said lightly. After viewing the footage of Xu Gang’s battle restored by the Core Formation Stage Elder, he felt he would need more time to defeat the person in front of him.
“From a Hidden Small Sect, Zhang Han, I’m sorry to ask, what level are you in your sect?” Xu Gang asked. If the opponent was at the peerless level, he would use 70% of his strength; if it was a genius, then he would use full strength.
“Peerless.”
After Lin Changyu spoke, a set of heavy armor precious artifacts appeared around him, and with a heavy hammer, he transformed into a three-zhang tall figure charging toward Xu Gang.
“He’s a heavy armor body refinement cultivator, specifically strong against spell-type cultivators,” the Void Refiner said with a hint of pride.
Seeing this scene from far away at the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, Xu Fan smiled and said, “Isn’t this a live target?”
Looking at the meat shield charging toward him, Xu Gang initially wanted to strike with a blast, but remembering his Little Sister’s advice, he began his routine maneuver.
Xu Gang formed seals with his hands, and immediately the venue was enveloped in raging fire attribute spiritual energy.
‘Lava Waterfall’
The lava in the training hall surged up, directly pressing down toward the charging Lin Changyu.
“A mere lava cannot harm me,” Lin Changyu said, glancing at the lava waterfall crashing down above him without concern.
His protective true form could withstand a Transformation Stage demon beast.
Seeing this scene, the two Core Formation Stage Elders outside began to take it seriously, as they realized this was likely a unique spell created by the Creation Spirit Master, and there must be associated secret techniques following it.
