The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 40 Lin Yun
As for Gu Yuan, he did not attract the attention of those who had already climbed up the South City Gate.

There is no other reason.

Cultivation.

All those who have climbed the South City Gate have reached the Baoyuan Realm, while Gu Yuan, on the other hand, has not even reached the late Ningzhen Realm.

It poses no threat to them at all.

You know, even Sikong Sheng from the previous term relied on his peak cultivation in the late stage of the Condensation Realm to make it into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.

But just because they don't value Gu Yuan doesn't mean others won't value him. The fact that the other party was able to climb the South City Gate without any impact already speaks volumes.

"Master, absolutely a master." Someone whispered.

"This disciple of Feitian Demon Sect is really amazing. Maybe he can really break the record. You know, before this, no warrior below the late stage of Condensation Realm has ever entered the Hidden Dragon List."

"Humph, jumping over the dragon gate is nothing. A battle cannot be resolved by jumping over the dragon gate. Only strong strength is the key."

Some people are not convinced.

However, compared to Gu Yuan, everyone is more interested in Murong Qingcheng.

"Hello, young lady. I am Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of Tian Yun Sect. May I know your name?"

Just as Gu Yuan stepped onto the South City Gate, he saw someone chatting up Murong Qingcheng. It was Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of the Tian Yun Sect.

When Gu Yuan saw this scene, he felt a little amused, but he didn't say anything. He and Murong Qingcheng were just fellow disciples, so there was no need for him to be jealous of others.

What's more, Murong Qingcheng looks down on Lin Yun.

In other words, he looked down on everyone present.

The so-called seven sixth-grade sects and the three national royal families may be huge monsters in the eyes of others.

But in Murong Qingcheng's home, it doesn't matter.

The human-demon race has a special identity, and is not only hostile to most humans, but also often suffers persecution from the master family.

Otherwise, Murong Qingcheng really wouldn't have to join the Feitian Demon Sect.

Ever since!
Gu Yuan nodded and greeted Murong Qingcheng, then stood aside. He looked towards the South City Gate and watched the remaining people who had not yet reached the South City Gate pass through.

Before the three gates of Longmen were opened, he was chatting with Murong Qingcheng, and was naturally seen by Lin Yun.

Seeing that Gu Yuan didn't come over, Lin Yun gave him a sensible look.

"He is my junior sister Murong Qingcheng. Why, Lin Yun, do you have any objection?"

But just because Gu Yuan doesn’t care doesn’t mean Mo Yan doesn’t care.

"Haha, so what?"

Lin Yun sneered and didn't take Mo Yan seriously at all.

In this way, the two men began to confront each other because of a woman who did not like them.

Although Sikong Sheng was also attracted to Murong Qingcheng, he would not do the same as Lin Yun and Mo Yan.

That would only make him feel that he had lost his kingly demeanor.

Once he wins the first place on this year's Hidden Dragon List, he believes that Murong Qingcheng will take the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

The three gates of Longmen will only be open for one hour.

As time was running out, gradually, fewer and fewer people boarded the dragons, until finally only a few cats and kittens were left. Some of them were not very confident, while others were trying hard to find a solution.

Others want to wait for others to be attracted to them, and then calculate their own success rate.

In short, it's varied.

However, in the end, only about 700 people passed, and the passing rate of the three levels of Longmen was about 35%, which was a terrifying elimination rate. Even the Feitian Demon Sect had less than 20 people left.

More than a dozen people were eliminated.
Among them was Ling Xue.

Strictly speaking, she was somewhat wronged because her strength was not inferior to that of most core disciples.

But at the second level, he was accidentally hit by the rays of light and missed the Qianlong Ranking competition.

Fortunately, she still has a chance next time, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Over time.

When the last person set out, he failed and was sent out of the three gates of Longmen.

With a loud creaking sound, the three gates of Longmen sank, and the cracked ground gathered towards the middle, locking the younger generation inside. Then the side doors on both sides of the city gate opened, and people headed by the seven sixth-grade sects and the royal families of the three major countries walked in through the side doors.

"Fire Spirit Hall, follow me to find a place to live!"

"Disciples of the Wuqing Sect, step out!"

The number of people from the other six major sixth-grade sects who climbed the South City Gate was no less than that of the Feitian Demon Sect, with as many as twenty people and as few as a dozen.

Together they account for 20% of the total number of people, which is enough to represent the foundation of a sixth-grade sect.

In comparison, the sects below the seventh rank were much inferior, and many sects were just going through the motions, including many seventh rank sects.

"Follow me, disciples of the Feitian Demon Sect!"

The Qianlong Ranking competition will not officially start until tomorrow. During this period, warriors who come to Qianlong Ancient City can temporarily find a place to settle down. After hearing the call from the elders of his own sect, Gu Yuan followed.

Soon, in the center of Qianlong Ancient City, they found a quaint, elegant, and beautifully shaped luxurious courtyard and moved in. They settled down and waited for the Qianlong Ranking competition to start tomorrow.

As the first inner sect disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect, Gu Yuan is valued more than most of the core disciples, so it is natural that the room he is assigned will not be bad.

After a simple cleanup, he took out the bathtub he carried with him from the storage spirit ring, filled it with water, heated it with the artistic conception of fire, took a long bath, then sat cross-legged on the bed to practice, not caring about worldly affairs.

In the evening, there was a noise outside the room.

Gu Yuan guessed that, as expected, someone was testing the attack power test column in Qianlong Ancient City.

So he didn't care about anything else, holding the two low-grade spirit stones, and continued to absorb the essence of heaven and earth in the spirit stones to practice.

Perhaps it’s because of the mystery of Qianlong Ancient City, or maybe it’s because of something else.

This time, breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage of the Condensation Realm was not as difficult as he had imagined. It seemed that he sensed an opportunity.

This made Gu Yuan feel slightly happy. According to this trend, he might be able to break through to the late stage of Condensation Realm before the Qianlong Ranking Competition begins.

Silent all night.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, noisy sounds had already swept across the entire Qianlong Ancient City.

Looking down from the sky, torrents of people were converging towards the central area of ​​Qianlong Ancient City, like intricate black rivers flowing endlessly.

In the yard, all the members of the Feitian Demon Sect were present.

"The competition for the Hidden Dragon Ranking is a matter of luck. This is the first time for all of you to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition. Today is the elimination round, so play it safe and try not to expose your true strength too much when you are sure of your ability."

Mo Tianxing reminded all the participating disciples.

"Don't worry, Sect Master. I will definitely make it into the top five this time and gain boundless luck for the sect."

Mo Yan was the first to step forward. He had already cultivated the top-level earth-level martial arts technique, Tongtian Demonic Art, to the eighth level and was absolutely confident in his own strength.
