A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

"Then let the Core Formation cultivators teach the juniors of the two alliances what true cultivator combat is all about."

"Next up is the Core Formation group's duel. All Foundation Establishment cultivators, please leave the arena."

After the referee's voice fell, Su Chun and the others immediately returned to the area where the Ancient Sword Sect members were with their respective spoils.

Upon their return, the air was thick with the smell of sourness. The Ancient Sword Sect had over a hundred members in this Foundation Establishment group duel.

But the ones who benefited the most were naturally Su Chun and her six companions.

"Haha, fellow Daoists, you flatter me. Bring out your things and let this old man take a look."

Xuan Jianzi first politely bowed to the Nascent Soul cultivators around him, and then gestured for his disciples to bring out all their items.

The ancient sword cultivators' overall gains rank among the top three in the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Sword cultivators are strong in combat, but many are also eliminated.

Besides Su Chun and his team obtaining five low-grade Core Formation magic treasures, the other peaks also made gains, but compared to Su Chun and his team, their achievements paled in comparison.

"Second Junior Brother, Junior Sister, congratulations! The treasures you've obtained can be exchanged for a large amount of sect contribution points, even if you don't need them."

Xie Zhi Qiu and Mei Ruo Shui congratulated the seven people immediately.

Su Chun and the others had smiles on their faces.

Actually, there was another person who stood out in this duel, and that was Zi Yaohua, the female cultivator who entered the Ancient Sword Sect with Su Chun back then. She has already reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Their performance was also outstanding. Although they didn't have the exaggerated one-on-one elimination of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators like Su Chun and the others, they still defeated a peak mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Um, Ancestor, could you please bestow this sword upon our second senior brother? Our second senior brother is an earth-attribute sword cultivator, and this sword would be perfect for him. Moreover, our second senior brother is already a pseudo-core cultivator, and he will need it when he forms his core next time."

After Su Chun and the others brought out the items, they saw Lu Yi staring longingly at the earth-attribute greatsword and immediately spoke up.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Lu Yi, who indeed looked quite comical.

"Haha, this treasure was obtained by the seven of you. If you are all willing to contribute what you have gained from exchanging the treasure to him, then this treasure can naturally be given to him."

Su Chun and the other five immediately exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement.

"No problem, we all agree."

Xuan Jianzi casually waved his hand, and the sword flew to Lu Yi's front.

Lu Yi was deeply moved.

"Your team or individuals can choose whether to keep what you acquire; there's no need to hand it over to the sect. Make your decision while you still have time."

All the cultivators who participated in the duel immediately began to discuss the matter.

However, apart from Hidden Sword Peak, the cultivators from the other factions quickly started arguing over the allocation of resources.

"What? I got eliminated, so I can't be assigned a spot? Please, we're on the same team! If I hadn't held them back, would I have been eliminated?"

Lei Jianfeng's disciples were the first to start arguing.

Because they mainly cultivate lightning-attribute techniques, they all have very irritable tempers.

"It's just that we're not distributing treasures. If we weren't not distributing contribution points, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes, you were eliminated early on, so the treasures we fight over later have nothing to do with you. I'll give you this mid-grade magic artifact, and then the distribution of the treasures and your contributions won't be your concern anymore, okay?"

Lei Jianfeng, who had no dissenting disciples, was immediately speechless.

After much thought, he concluded that the value of his contribution was greater.

Disciples from other factions also had disputes over the distribution of resources.

For example, the disciples of Yanjian Peak argued over the ownership of a thousand-year-old Xuanhuo Lingzhi.

The scene was very chaotic.

In the end, it was their master who stepped in and made the allocation, which finally calmed them down.

"Ah! The atmosphere at Hidden Sword Peak is so harmonious. Even though we got the most, no one fought over it, and everyone was considerate of each other."

Xuan Jianzi and his companions, looking at the disciples from the various factions before them, sighed in amazement.

Of course, there were very few teams as harmonious as Su Chun's group present; they were practically the only team.

The teams from other sects were basically arguing about the allocation of resources.

Until the Nascent Soul cultivator in charge spoke again.

"I have an announcement to make: the rules for the Core Formation stage duels have been changed. All Core Formation stage treasures are now under the control of the restrictive power and will move randomly within the Heavenly Beast Valley. The cultivator who ultimately possesses the treasure will be awarded ownership."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Core Formation cultivators changed drastically.

"Random movement? That's troublesome. It'll be much harder to team up and steal the treasure."

After announcing the results, Long Tianxiao glanced at Xuan Jianzi and the others. Xuan Jianzi and the other seven sighed, raised their hands again, and took out all the treasures of the Core Formation stage and above.

They threw these treasures into the valley, and the next moment, all the treasures turned into streams of light and sped through the valley at great speed. Even a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation would need to fly at full speed to keep up with the speed of the treasures.

Chapter 104 Core Formation Duel Begins

Core Formation cultivators are the backbone of major sects and the main contenders for the core treasures of Master Mulan's cave.

According to the rules, each treasure used by a Core Formation cultivator is worth between ten and fifty points, while the rare and precious materials used by a Nascent Soul cultivator are worth even more than a hundred points.

The final points difference will directly determine whether the two alliances will need to pay an additional huge sum of tens of millions of spirit stones.

Therefore, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present were very concerned about this duel, and almost all the Core Formation cultivators from the participating sects participated in the duel.

"All Core Formation cultivators may now enter."

At the referee's command, hundreds of figures flew out from both sides of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and entered the Heavenly Beast Valley.

Some of them occupied an area by themselves, while others were in pairs. The Core Formation cultivators exuded a pressure far exceeding that of Foundation Establishment cultivators, if they were not divided into two groups to compete.

Not many Foundation Establishment cultivators survive a duel.

In the Ancient Sword Sect camp, Xie Zhi Qiu and Mei Ruo Shui stood side by side. The two had just become Daoist partners, and this was their first battle.

Xie Zhiqi held a greenish-blue flying sword, while Mei Ruoshui summoned a blue flying sword.

Zhou Zhen, Mu Zhuohua, Wang Qiong, and other Core Formation elders also summoned their magical treasures and flew into the Heavenly Beast Valley with solemn expressions.

"Zhiqiu, Ruoshui, you two must be careful. The battles in the Core Formation group are a hundred times more dangerous than those in the Foundation Establishment group. A slight mistake could result in serious injury or even affect your future path."

Before leaving, Qingyang Daoist gave Xie Zhi Qiu and Mei Ruo Shui a special instruction.

He knew these two were the future of Hidden Sword Peak, and it was best if nothing happened to them.

The reason for this reminder is that it's very difficult for a Core Formation cultivator to be teleported out directly by triggering the restriction. The restriction will only teleport you out if you suffer fatal damage.

The restriction will only teleport you out if it determines that you have suffered fatal damage.

The fatal injury at the Core Formation stage is naturally physical death or the shattering of the Golden Core.

Ordinary injuries are nothing to Core Formation cultivators; they heal quickly.

"Don't worry, Master, we understand."

Xie Zhi Qiu and Mei Ruo Shui both nodded.

But that's not what they really think. They not only want to fight for treasures for the Ancient Sword Sect, but also to secure more resources for their junior brothers and sisters at Hidden Sword Peak.

Soon, a golden streak of light flew out from the edge of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance camp and headed straight for the Heavenly Beast Valley.

Su Chun took a closer look and smiled.

"Oh dear? This isn't my sister Tantai. Let me see what you're capable of."

The moment Tantai Yuexi flew out, she quickly glanced at Su Chun and saw Su Chun looking at her with a mischievous smile, so she immediately glared at her.

As all the Core Formation cultivators entered, the atmosphere inside the Heavenly Beast Valley instantly became oppressive.

There are nearly four hundred Core Formation cultivators here.

Hundreds of Core Formation cultivators, like ferocious beasts poised to pounce, warily surveyed their surroundings.

"The Core Formation group duel is about to begin."

The referee's voice rang out again, like a spark igniting a powder keg.

In an instant, all the cultivators scattered and chased after the treasures that were moving through the Heavenly Beast Valley.

"Ruoshui, let's go."

Xie Zhi Qiu let out a low shout and, together with Mei Ruo Shui, activated their escape light, chasing after the nearest wave of treasure energy.

Zhou Zhen, Mu Zhuohua, and other Core Formation elders also took action, each leading their disciples and flying in different directions.

Most of the Core Formation cultivators in the Ancient Sword Sect are sword cultivators, and their speed is extremely fast, making them particularly eye-catching among the many cultivators.

Su Chun stood on the high platform, nervously watching the situation on the field.

Xie Zhi Qiu and Mei Ruo Shui flew side by side, their cooperation seamless, like two sides of the same coin.

Xie Zhi Qiu's swordsmanship is fierce and domineering, full of vitality and resilience, while Mei Ruo Shui's swordsmanship is agile and graceful, as unpredictable as flowing water.

The two sword energies intertwined, forming a unique defensive net that blocked all the surrounding attacks.

"There's a surge of energy indicating a treasure ahead."

Mei Ruoshui suddenly spoke, her eyes lighting up as she pointed ahead.

Xie Zhi Qiu looked in the direction she pointed and saw a dazzling light moving rapidly in the valley ahead, emitting a rich wood-attribute aura.

"It's a wood-attribute magic item, let's go quickly."

Xie Zhi Qiu let out a low shout and accelerated at the same time as Mei Ruo Shui, chasing after the precious light.

However, at that moment, two dark figures suddenly darted out from the nearby woods and pounced on the two of them like ghosts.

"They are cultivators from the Shadow Pavilion of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance."

Xie Zhi Qiu's expression changed.

"Zhi Qiu, be careful."

Mei Ruoshui gave a low shout, and the blue flying sword in her hand instantly transformed into a water curtain, blocking the two of them.

"clang."

Two crisp collision sounds rang out as two jet-black daggers pierced the water curtain, splashing up ripples.

"The Ancient Sword Sect? What a coincidence! Your disciples made our Shadow Pavilion disciples suffer a setback, so we'll make you suffer too. The treasures here are not for you, so get lost."
