Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Yuqing Palace.

In front of the palace, on a wide square.

All the disciples of the Seven Peaks had arrived, and on the high platform in the square, five True Immortals were seated.

Tian Buyi and the others arrived early.

The next instant, a figure suddenly appeared on the highest seat in the center. His dark green Taoist robe fluttered in the breeze. Xu Qing had arrived.

"Senior Brother Daoxuan!"

Tian Buyi and the others stood up and bowed.

"Meet the leader!"

All the Qingyun Sect disciples shouted in unison, cupped their hands, and bowed respectfully.

The sound was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Tongtian Peak.

Xu Qing nodded slightly and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

Without wasting any words, he immediately ordered the lottery to begin.

All the disciples were excited and thrilled, having long awaited this day, eager to showcase their skills.

As expected, Zhang Xiaofan's luck was off the charts, and he received a bye just like in the original timeline.

They advance directly to the next round.

Even Tian Buyi, the master, looked completely astonished.

"Your disciple is quite lucky." Shuiyue also noticed Zhang Xiaofan.

After all, with so many people present, there was only one bye spot, which fell into Zhang Xiaofan's hands.

"Sigh, that kid only has a bit of luck; his skills are too weak." Tian Buyi shook his head.

Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation speed was too slow, and his aptitude was dull, so he was never very satisfied.

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​you are mistaken. Sometimes luck is also a part of strength."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Many people are just a little bit short of luck in their entire lives."

Luck is elusive, but it is undeniably real.

People with good luck have everything go smoothly; it's something you can only envy.

Moreover, he could tell that Tian Buyi was unaware of Zhang Xiaofan's changes.

With his keen eye, he could see that Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation level had improved significantly compared to a month ago.

The fifth level of Jade Purity Realm!

Zhang Xiaofan had remained on the third level for several years, but in just one month, he broke through to the fifth level.

This is Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation speed after resolving the conflict between his cultivation techniques.

Such a level of cultivation is already considered excellent among all the Qingyun disciples.

"What you say is absolutely right, Senior Brother!" Tian Buyi nodded repeatedly.

Upon learning that Wan Jianyi had been saved by Dao Xuan and that the latter had broken through to the Taiqing realm, Tian Buyi now held Dao Xuan in the highest esteem.

There was no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Right now, almost all the Qingyun disciples have noticed Zhang Xiaofan.

The fact that he received a bye was truly eye-catching, and most disciples envied such luck.

Of course, there was also jealousy.

"How could such an opportunity fall into this guy's lap!"

"How come the slowest cultivator on Dazhu Peak is so lucky!"

"Hmph, so what if he's lucky? When he meets me, I'll definitely defeat him soundly!"

"It was just a stroke of luck. The Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament requires real strength, not so-called luck!"

Many people have heard of Zhang Xiaofan, after all, his slow cultivation speed is well-known throughout the Qingyun Sect.

Therefore, most people were dissatisfied that such an opportunity fell to Zhang Xiaofan.

Of course, Chang Jian, Lin Jingyu, and the people of Dazhu Peak were all happy for Zhang Xiaofan.

They all rushed forward to congratulate Zhang Xiaofan, who received a bye and advanced to the next round.

Zhang Xiaofan was also surprised; he hadn't expected his luck to be so good.

Suddenly, he felt Xu Qing's gaze and quickly bowed to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded slightly and secretly transmitted his voice: "Good luck, fifth level of Jade Purity Realm, not slow. Do your best tomorrow."

Hearing Xu Qing's voice, Zhang Xiaofan became even more excited.

"Yes, Senior Uncle!" he replied using telepathy.

The art of sound transmission is a relatively basic Taoist technique, which Zhang Xiaofan mastered early on.

Now his cultivation is progressing rapidly, and he has integrated the techniques of two schools. His magical power and physical body are far superior to those of other cultivators at the same level.

With the help of the celestial book, it was as if he had been reborn.

Soon, the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament officially began.

Xu Qing appeared to be watching, but in reality, he had already immersed his mind in cultivation. The fight between a group of Jade Purity Realm cultivators was like chickens pecking at each other, and it couldn't arouse Xu Qing's interest at all.

Tian Buyi, Shuiyue, and the others watched with great interest.

The most outstanding were Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak, Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu from Longshou Peak, Zeng Shushu from Fenghui Peak, and Chang Jian from Tongtian Peak.

Chang Jian, as the sect leader's disciple, was naturally no less capable.

Moreover, during this period, Xu Qing also taught Chang Jian some Taoist techniques, which can be considered as giving this disciple some extra instruction.

Although Chang Jian's comprehension wasn't exceptionally high, it wasn't bad either.

As for his eldest disciple, Xiao Yicai, he was not at Qingyun Sect at the time.

Instead, he was originally assigned by Dao Xuan to infiltrate the Demonic Sect and gather intelligence on it.

His eldest disciple was the champion of the previous Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, and it is impossible for him to participate in this one.

Xu Qing simply didn't let his eldest disciple return.

After the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament, he planned to take action against the Demonic Sect. Xiao Yicai's presence within the Demonic Sect would also allow him to coordinate well with the Qingyun Sect.

At the end of the day's martial arts competition, half of the Qingyun disciples were eliminated.

Meanwhile, the number of members of the Demonic Sect in Yudu City is increasing.

Especially after Youji and Baihu arrived, they dispatched a large number of Ghost King Sect disciples to search for Qinglong's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, the other demonic sects also discovered the situation of the Ghost King Sect.

Both the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the Joyful Union Sect reported this situation to their superiors, which attracted even more members of the demonic sects to gather.

Wei Qiong, as the city lord of Yudu City, discovered this early on.

"What exactly happened? Why are there more and more members of the Demonic Cult lately?"

Wei Qiong pondered for a moment and then found Zhou Yixian.

"Old man, quickly calculate this for me, what exactly is going on?!"

Zhou Yixian looked at Zhou Xiaohuan; his divination and physiognomy skills were only half-baked.

Only Zhou Xiaohuan is truly amazing.

"Grandpa Wei, this matter is related to the Ten Thousand Bats Cave."

Xiao Huan said.

"These members of the Demonic Cult have come for the Ten Thousand Bats Cave after all?!" Wei Qiong's expression turned grave.

The troubles within the Ten Thousand Bats Cave were resolved by Dao Xuan Zhenren, but these members of the Demonic Sect were unaware of this.

They even seem to have become more interested in the Ten Thousand Bats Cave because of the previous tremor!
“Now that all the factions of the Demonic Sect have gathered, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to protect Yudu City by myself.” Wei Qiong stroked his beard.

It seems it's time to ask the Qingyun Sect for help.

Xiao Yicai, who was hiding inside the Demonic Sect, immediately used a secret method to transmit the situation in Yudu City back to Qingyun Tongtian Peak as soon as possible.

With the Demonic Sect gathering its forces, whatever their intentions, as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he must not allow them to succeed.

Time flies, and the seven sects of Qingyun Sect held a martial arts competition, quickly determining the top four.

Unlike the original storyline, this time the top four are Chang Jian from Tongtian Peak, Zhang Xiaofan from Dazhu Peak, Lin Jingyu from Longshou Peak, and Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak.

Zeng Shushu and Qi Hao from the original trajectory failed to reach the top four.

These past few days, the four people who have performed the best have undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.

But the most surprising one was Zhang Xiaofan.

Everyone thought Zhang Xiaofan had gotten through the first round by luck and would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat afterward.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaofan displayed extremely powerful strength and cultivation, and even his magic weapon was extremely powerful.

Tian Buyi, Zhang Xiaofan's master, was both surprised and delighted: "Seventh Brother has finally come to his senses!"

Although he was always dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation aptitude, he was actually just disappointed in him.

As a master, how could you not want your disciple to be outstanding and powerful?

Zhang Xiaofan's performance now is truly a source of pride for his master.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​you've taken on a fine disciple."

"Although this child's cultivation level is not the highest, his magical power is pure and refined, and his foundation is extremely solid."

"It seems that Senior Brother Daoxuan had already seen that this child was extraordinary."

Shuiyue, Zeng Shuchang, and others said with a smile.

On the first day, Xu Qing spoke up for Zhang Xiaofan, which surprised them all and made them pay more attention to Zhang Xiaofan.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaofan then made a name for himself with his outstanding performance.

Xu Qing simply smiled at this.

Just kidding, the current Zhang Xiaofan is much more powerful than the Zhang Xiaofan of the same period in the original novel.

With the combined techniques of the two schools and the Soul-Devouring Magic Treasure, advancing to the top four was even easier than in the original story.
