Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 361 Once a golden pill is swallowed, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!

Mingxu Mountain.

The mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with majestic and beautiful peaks.

This mountain is backed by the Kongfeng, one of the three calamities of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and its shape resembles a reclining dragon, a place where the spiritual energy of the earth's veins converges.

Because it is close to the void, there are no living beings, no human habitation for thousands of miles, and almost no cultivation sects here.

The Mingxu Sect is hidden among the mountains, concealed by array formations, making it difficult for outsiders to detect.

This day.

More than a thousand disciples gathered together.

A female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, dressed in flowing white robes and exuding an ethereal aura, stood in mid-air, her beautiful eyes sweeping across all directions like swords.

The whispers faded away as soon as they were out of sight.

"The sect competition is a tradition that has been held for thousands of years in the cultivation world."

Seeing that there were no more noises, Shui Qianning spoke in a clear voice. Her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears:

"Its establishment is not merely for showing off martial arts and competing for supremacy, but is the foundation for the survival of sects. This is because with the collapse of the Great Dao and the rampant spread of demons, if each sect has no disciples to protect its gates, it will eventually be annihilated in the calamity."

"Now let us discuss the reasons for setting up this competition, which can be summarized in four points: First, to select the virtuous and capable; second, to verify the depth of their cultivation and encourage their disciples to make progress; third,..."

“In addition to the established rewards, the top ten in the outer sect can enter the inner sect; the top three in the inner sect can become core disciples.”

"Wow..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the room erupted in uproar.

The disciples of the Mingxu Sect are divided into core disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples, and the resources available to each are vastly different.

Each of the core disciples has the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the sect even prepares Foundation Establishment Pills for them.

This single Foundation Establishment Pill is something that inner and outer disciples can only dream of but never obtain.

Moreover, there are other benefits as well.

Ordinary disciples do not aspire to become core disciples, but becoming an inner disciple brings many benefits.

Advance one rank.

We're just one step closer to the main road.

In addition, the top ten in the sect competition receive substantial rewards, so it's natural that the strong will always get stronger.

"Silence."

Shui Qianning's voice deepened, and the power of her Foundation Establishment cultivation emanated outwards, as if it were a tangible force falling upon the disciples.

The room fell silent immediately.

"Junior Brother Xu."

"Please arrange the order of the duels."

"Yes." Xu Hanzhe, with a full head of white hair, stepped forward and looked at the crowd with a complex expression.
"The competition lasted for half a month in total, with the first five days for outer disciples, the middle five days for inner disciples, and the last five days for core disciples."

"Now we will distribute the rankings of the outer disciples."

Xu Hanzhi was exceptionally talented and achieved mastery of Qi Refining at a young age. However, his obsession with brewing wine delayed his cultivation, resulting in an unstable foundation and failure to break through to the Dao Foundation Realm. He is now reduced to a sect steward.

He had no regrets when he was young.

just now.

Seeing his former senior sisters and junior brothers advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, still young and beautiful, while he himself is old and gray and his life is not long, how could he not feel regret?

The young couple drank too much, causing their three children to become dull and mentally challenged, and their wife complained about it every day, so there was no joy in their family life.

After calming himself down, he waved his long sleeves and released hundreds of beams of spiritual light, which the outer disciples could choose from.

"The training grounds are arranged according to the Heavenly Dipper numbers. Those whose numbers are adjacent should go to the training grounds to fight according to the instructions of the outer sect stewards."

"The winner advances to the next round!"

"promise!"

The disciples of the sect should be.

Above the training ground, a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators sat upright.

They radiated a spiritual aura and possessed an otherworldly air, like deities seated in the clouds, looking down upon the mortals.

Although they are all seniors of the Mingxu Sect, it is vaguely apparent that they have different factions.

The Mingxu Sect originally had Dao Foundation cultivators Liu Huang'er, Shui Qianning, Ji Mingxi, and Xi Chen, as well as those who had just advanced to the Huang Xuan realm a few years ago. They were relatively close to each other.

On the opposite side were two members of the Hundred Flowers Sect who had come to join them: Dong Yuelan and Mi Chunyan.

There were also two cultivators from Jade Void Cave Heaven.

Huike and Xiao Zifeng.

Unlike the others, these two possess the bloodline of the Three-Eyed Gods, with a vertical eye on their foreheads.

Moreover, their cultivation methods are different from ordinary people; they are not the Golden Elixir Path, but rather body refinement and mantras.

of course.

Since leaving Jade Void Cave and joining the Bright Void Sect, the two of them have switched to cultivating the Primordial Heart Technique.

Not to mention anything else.

The Yuanxin Technique can greatly increase lifespan, and this benefit alone is hard to give up. Pei Jingque, the sect leader of Mingxu Sect, sat in the center, his gaze sweeping over everyone, pausing for a moment on Huike.

"Congratulations! Fellow Daoist has established a foundation for your Dao."

"Sect Master's discerning eye is spotless; I only recently established my Dao foundation." Huike bowed with his hands clasped together.
"Thanks to the resources provided by the sect, otherwise it would have been difficult to achieve anything."

The Three-Eyed Clan are neither monks nor Taoists, and everyone is used to Huike's posture of addressing himself as an old man while performing the rites of a monk.

Pei Jingque gently shook her head:
"Sect resources are merely icing on the cake; a solid foundation is the most fundamental thing, fellow Daoist."

Although Huike was not a Dao Foundation cultivator before, his cultivation and strength were comparable to those of a late-stage Dao Foundation cultivator or even a Pseudo-Core cultivator.

Only in this way can one achieve a foundation in the Dao in a very short time after practicing the Yuanxin Technique. Given time, it is not a problem to perfect the Dao foundation, and one may even be able to advance to the Golden Core stage.

Golden elixir…

His gaze swept over the crowd in the room.

Aside from Huike, Xi Chen is the only Dao Foundation cultivator with the best chance of advancing to the Golden Core stage in the future.

Most others will likely stop at the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for the factional divisions within the sect, Pei Jingque didn't care and had no intention of paying attention to them.

As long as a Grandmaster of the Golden Core realm is present, they can oversee the entire situation.

"metropolitan."

Ji Mingxi spoke:
"In your opinion, which of the core disciples will emerge victorious in this sect competition?"

There are too many disciples in the sect.

There are hundreds of outer disciples alone, and quite a few inner disciples as well; Pei Jingque couldn't possibly know them all.

Only the core secrets can catch her eye.

Reality.

Those who can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage are most likely core disciples; the chances of outer and inner disciples advancing are extremely low.

"Xia Tong, Sun Tianyou, Shi Sheng..."

After a moment's thought, Pei Jingque spoke slowly:
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the top three should be these three."

Xia Tong comes from Yuxu Cave Heaven and also possesses the bloodline of the Three-Eyed God Clan. As the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, she has resources and foundations far exceeding those of ordinary disciples. She has now reached the Qi Refining Perfection Realm.

Sun Tianyou.

Nai Zhu Ju had picked up a child years ago; the child was exceptionally gifted and became a disciple of Shui Qian Ning.

Shi Sheng may not have the same talent or resources as the other two, but he is older, more experienced, and has more combat experience.

"Tianyou?" Shui Qianning shook her head:

“Master, my apprentice is still young, I’m afraid he won’t be able to get into the top three.”

"Otherwise," Xi Chen shook his head.
“Sun Tianyou is the only sword prodigy who has inherited my master’s skills. He has already comprehended the sword light differentiation at a young age, which is much better than what we were like when we were young. Moreover, he has an innate Dao body.”

"That's true, but he lacks experience in combat," Dong Yuelan said.
"Even if we don't win this time, gaining some combat experience is a good thing, which is one of the reasons why we hold the sect competition."

Everyone nodded.

The proposal for the sect competition came from Xi Chen. This is the first one, and it will be held every four years thereafter.

Pei Jingque smiled.

She really enjoyed the harmonious atmosphere of the sect, and for a moment it felt like she had returned to a hundred years ago.

She was still in the audience at that time...

Ok?
With a slight movement of her beautiful eyes, her body suddenly transformed into a streak of fire, soaring into the sky and hurtling towards the distant mountain peaks. Her speed was as fast as lightning, completely disregarding the fact that it was the time of the sect's grand competition.

"What's wrong?" Shui Qianning stood up in surprise.

"Where is Master going?"

"It must be Fellow Daoist Zhu who has emerged from seclusion." Huike chuckled.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu has been in seclusion for several years and has finally emerged. I wonder what you have gained during this seclusion..."

"Ok?"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

Dong Yuelan and Xi Chen then stood up, looking at the mountain where Zhu Ju was in seclusion with surprise.

"That is……"

Dong Yuelan's voice trembled:
"A sign of Core Formation?"

"Excellent!" Xi Chen's face lit up with wild joy, and he couldn't help but clench his hands tightly.
"Master has actually formed his Golden Core!"

Zhu Jujie Dan?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Among the Dao Foundation cultivators of Mingxu Sect, Zhu Juxiu has the deepest cultivation, but he is not very old. In everyone's impression, he is still a long way from forming the Core. How did he suddenly form the Core?

Moreover, it wasn't mentioned during the seclusion that the goal was to form a golden core.

"No wonder the sect leader was in such a hurry to get there," someone said.
"Our Mingxu Sect..."

"This means a second Golden Core Grandmaster is about to emerge!"
