"Is that even possible? I'm curious, if she went back, did she still pass?" the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers asked, puzzled.
The Nine Heavens Holy Lord was momentarily embarrassed.
"It seems there's no rule that participants who have reached the finish line cannot return to the track. This is a loophole in the rules, and we can't change it on the spot," the Nine Heavens Holy Lord replied.
Indeed, the half-hour time limit was quite challenging for those holy sons and daughters, so who would have thought that someone would finish it in just ten minutes?
"Haha, Grandma, I'm going back to play for a bit." Ye Liuyun soon encountered Long Aoyun and the others.
Ye Liuyun greeted Li Muyun and then quickly passed by.
"Huh? What does this woman mean? Why did she suddenly run back? And who is this 'grandmother' she's talking about? Is this woman one of your granddaughters?" The holy sons and daughters who were chasing Ye Liuyun at full speed were dumbfounded.
Li Muyun had already seen that Ye Liuyun's competition token had gained an extra point, so she knew that she and Lin Aoxue had reached the finish line.
"This little one has quite a few secrets," Li Muyun said, somewhat amused and exasperated. She knew absolutely nothing about her granddaughter.
As for Ye Liuyun, she arrived at the foot of a mountain peak, then used her true essence to cut the mountain peak in half, and finally lifted the mountain peak and moved towards Kou Qingling and the others behind her.
Ye Liuyun running over carrying a mountain peak several thousand meters high must have startled many people.
"Damn it, how can there be such an obstacle?" Some Nascent Soul cultivators quickly dodged away.
After locking onto Kou Qingling and the others, Ye Liuyun loudly reminded them.
"The mountain is here."
As soon as she said that, she threw the mountain over. Kou Qingling and the others were stunned when they heard Ye Liuyun's voice. In that moment of surprise, a dark mass appeared above them, and they saw a huge mountain crashing down on them.
Kou Qingling and the others immediately cursed under their breath. This group of people had just gathered together to deal with Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, and they were currently all in the same stage of the competition.
The group immediately launched a spell attack on the mountain peak, but there was no way to dodge it, so they could only shatter it.
Chapter 623 Fear from All Sides (5000 words)
Under the combined attack of these guys, the mountain peak thrown by Ye Liuyun was naturally impossible to withstand, and the several thousand-meter-high mountain peak was instantly reduced to dust by Kou Qingling and the others.
But clearly Ye Liuyun's purpose was not just to smash them with this mountain, because at the moment these guys shattered the mountain, a strange gas was hidden in the dust that erupted from the broken mountain. This gas was mixed with the dust, so Kou Qingling and the others did not notice it.
However, after inhaling the poisonous gas hidden in the dust, the group inexplicably became disoriented, but they quickly came to their senses.
"No, something's strange about this dust," Kou Qingling exclaimed.
The others also hurriedly used their strength to expel the poison gas that had entered their bodies, but just as they were about to remove the poison gas...
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ground beneath their feet, and like the gaping maw of a giant beast, it swallowed Kou Qingling and the others whole.
"Oh no? Watch your step." Kou Qingling noticed her expression change the moment she started falling. They were trying to get away from this place, but just as they were about to take flight, a net of golden lightning descended from the sky and trapped them all inside.
"Ah... what is this again?"
The electric current from the internet made them scream in pain, and it also temporarily numbed their bodies.
With their bodies paralyzed and unable to muster any strength, everyone fell into the crevice.
"Damn it!" Kou Qingling and the others watched themselves getting further and further away from the ground, their faces filled with frustration. The electric current on their bodies wasn't particularly harmful, but it gave them an irresistible tingling sensation, making their bones feel like they were melting.
However, the electric current only trapped them for less than three breaths. After three breaths, they hurriedly flew upwards, but would Ye Liuyun allow them to fly up?
Sure enough, a large amount of dust, accompanied by a stream of slime and water, immediately washed down from above their heads.
"Damn it." These guys were just about to use their powers to defend themselves.
But then blinding white light and deafening roars erupted in their ears and before their eyes, making it impossible for them to concentrate.
Because they didn't try to stop it immediately, the water, mixed with slime and soil, completely submerged them.
Unlucky people, their confidants, ate a mouthful of sticky clay.
"Cough cough... Ugh..." They were first choked by the clay, then drenched in water, followed by a wave of numbness. The clay bound them together, and the electric current in the clay completely rendered them powerless to resist, causing them to plummet to the bottom.
These people are going crazy.
Ye Liuyun stood at the edge of the crack, like a chicken stewing in a large pot, constantly changing the power in his hands, sometimes wind, sometimes thunder. Because Ye Liuyun's pills contained immortal power, even if the power was not enough to hurt these guys, they could not stop the miraculous effects contained in the pills.
"Remember? Hahaha, no way. If you want to fight me, then be prepared to be tortured by me." Ye Liuyun looked at Kou Qingling and the others struggling frantically inside with a sinister smile on his face.
Seriously speaking, with all those attack pills Ye Liuyun had, it would be too easy for her to annoy this guy. In the end, what she was best at was being the sixth one; very few of the targets she ambushed could break free and escape.
Kou Qingling and the others had been completely suppressed underground, and they were still falling.
This is the effect of Ye Liuyun's Earth-Sinking Pill, an earth-attribute functional pill that causes an area to continuously sink until the pill's effect is exhausted.
Ye Liuyun's diverse powers dazzled the people from the Holy Lord's Palace.
"This? Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? How can this little girl know all sorts of spells? This doesn't make sense. I remember that pure body cultivators can only use the cultivation level of the Sea of Wheels and Spirit Stream Realm at most, but she has all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice. How did she do that?" The Holy Lords were all incredulous.
These holy masters had no way of knowing whether the power was coming from Ye Liuyun's body or from an external force, because Ye Liuyun's pills were all stored in his divine sense space, which was essentially his own power.
"This doesn't feel like her own power. She doesn't have that much magic power. Let alone releasing spells so recklessly, she shouldn't even be able to unleash a single spell. There's something wrong with this little girl. Hey, Fellow Daoist Nine Heavens, are you sure that external forces are really prohibited in this competition space?" The Holy Lord of Myriad Spirits couldn't help but confirm with the Holy Lord of Nine Heavens again.
But the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens retorted somewhat unhappily upon hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Wanling, do you think our Nine Heavens Holy Land gave this little girl special favors?"
These words momentarily stung the Lord of All Spirits. He had only said it casually; they could see whether or not external force could be used.
“Regardless of whether it’s external force or not, my junior’s ability to evade the constraints of the rules is a skill in itself. Don’t you Holy Lords think so? Can your disciples find a way to evade the rules of the Divine Weapon Space?” Lin Tianya immediately retorted.
The group of holy lords fell silent again; now that Lin Tianya had spoken, they no longer wanted to talk.
Five minutes later, Ye Liuyun finally stopped attacking, and the crack in front of her was completely sealed as if by cement.
"Haha, even if you are Nascent Soul cultivators, it will take you time to break free from the power of so many mixed pills. You can struggle slowly down there. Farewell, hahaha..." Ye Liuyun let out a smug laugh like a villain.
Just then, the cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm finally arrived in this area. Shi Youlan was among them. Looking at Ye Liuyun, who was laughing maniacally in the distance, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Is this what I look like when I go crazy? I feel like a madwoman. It seems like I'm disgusting people." Shi Youlan muttered to herself, then flew away.
Then Nangong Mufeng and the others also saw Ye Liuyun laughing wildly.
"Brother, isn't that Uncle? What is she laughing at? Should we go over and ask her?" Nangong Muyu said, about to fly towards Ye Liuyun's location.
However, Nangong Mufeng grabbed him.
"Don't go. Didn't Uncle say we shouldn't get involved in her affairs? We're at a level where we can't help her; we'll only cause her trouble," Nangong Mufeng said.
That's the truth. That's why Ye Liuyun told them not to worry about her and Lin Aoxue before the competition started.
If Ye Liuyun hadn't been holding Lin Aoxue, he probably would have dealt with those guys on the spot, given his personality.
Looking at Kou Qingling and the others who had been driven into the ground by Ye Liuyun, they were in great pain. They were trapped in the soft mud, and a constant electric current was stimulating them, making them unable to exert any force.
"Damn it, Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue, I'm not done with you two!" Kou Qingling roared angrily in her heart.
There were about twenty people sealed underground by Ye Liuyun, all of whom were disciples of the Holy Land.
These twenty people probably won't be able to continue the competition.
Although they were already struggling to get up, at this rate, it would take them at least ten minutes to get up.
After making his sarcastic remarks, Ye Liuyun turned and left.
As for Li Muyun and the others, they had already reached the finish line and saw Lin Aoxue meditating and resting there.
Seeing this, they knew that Ye Liuyun and his group had already reached the finish line.
"Ye Liuyun's speed is beyond our imagination. She arrived at the finish line so far ahead of us. She must have run back to cause trouble for your junior brothers and sisters. After all, they tried to intercept her on the way. Aren't you going back to help them?" Shui Lianyi said.
Currently, there are only seven holy sites that do not conflict with Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
"Solve your own problems. We in the Gu God Domain don't have the habit of settling scores for others," Yue Qi said calmly.
"Yeah, it's a competition. Getting eliminated is normal, isn't it? If you're eliminated, you should get revenge on your own. I'm not that bored to make us get revenge," Long Aoyun said with a disdainful look.
These holy sons and daughters were already of a higher status than ordinary disciples, not on the same level, so they had no interest in meddling in their affairs, let alone asking them to help.
Li Muyun ignored the conversation between the holy maidens and holy sons and walked alone to Lin Aoxue's side.
Li Muyun was probably the most special saintess among these people, because she was a saintess who had been married, had a husband, and had children, so she appeared quite steady and mature in her behavior and temperament.
Compared to her, Long Aoyun and the others were like teenagers and adults.
"Aoxue, has your body not fully recovered yet?" Li Muyun asked.
Lin Aoxue opened her eyes, glanced at Li Muyun, and then smiled.
"She should be able to recover after this match, Grandma, don't worry," Lin Aoxue replied.
Lin Aoxue's answer quickly reached the ears of Long Aoyun and the others nearby. They were all stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Muyun.
"Grandma? No way, could it be that when Ye Liuyun passed by just now, he was calling for Li Muyun? Wow, she already has a Daoist partner and even offspring." The group of holy sons and daughters were very surprised.
“No wonder, I think Li Muyun seems very mature. I always feel like a little girl standing next to her,” Shui Lianyi murmured.
Time passed slowly, and more and more cultivators reached the end, but time had already run out.
"Time's up. Please wait one minute. The weapon spirit is conducting the final statistics." Li Mingjiao's voice rang out again as the time was up.
Those cultivators who were still struggling in the official card room on the road breathed a sigh of relief, while Kou Qingling and the others had already crawled out from underground. However, they knew very well that they had probably been eliminated.
This implies that fewer than 5,000 people reached the finish line, while there were more than 30,000 participants. This means that more than 10,000 people still need to be judged for their distance.
"The tallying period is over. Those who advance will receive one point, and those who do not advance will be eliminated," Li Mingjiao announced.
As soon as these words were spoken, those cultivators who had not yet reached the finish line immediately checked the competition tokens above their heads. Some were happy, while others were sad.
"Damn it, this is outrageous!" Kou Qingling and her group were devastated, having failed to even make it into the qualifying rounds for two consecutive matches.
This made them indifferent and also made their holy land feel extremely ashamed.
After the statistics were completed, everyone was teleported out. Once outside, Li Mingjiao spoke again.
"The qualifying rounds have concluded this morning. You can all go back and rest now. Please wait for notification to begin the competition this afternoon, and then gather here again."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, after participating in four games in a row, they were all a little tired, and this kind of tiredness could not be recovered by resting for half an hour or an hour.
"Damn it, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, you're pretty good, but we'll see about the match this afternoon." Kou Qingling sneered at the two of them.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Flowers immediately retorted.
"Shut up, aren't you embarrassed enough? When we get back, the Holy Lord will definitely teach you a lesson."
And so, the disciples of the various holy lands returned to their respective places, and the holy lords of the Holy Lord Palace could no longer sit still.
"My disciples and I are having some mental issues. I need to go and counsel them," the Five Elements Saint Lord said before leaving.
The other Holy Masters also greeted each other and left the Holy Master Palace. They came to participate in the competition, not to embarrass themselves. It was truly unacceptable to them that so many disciples failed to qualify in the morning's preliminary rounds.
"Fellow Daoist Jiutian, I'll go check on my two juniors too. Junior Brother, let's go." Lin Tianya said, then left with Ancestor Tianyi.
The other forces also left one after another. Now that there's a chance to regroup, I definitely need to have a good talk with their disciples, or perhaps come up with some new strategies for them.
Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes at the group of cultivators from the holy land as they left.
"Tch, it's just a competition. If you were eliminated, it's because you weren't good enough. Why are you so vengeful? You're acting like a child. I suggest you have the kids' table at banquets in the future, or have a special competition for minors," Ye Liuyun complained.
Lin Aoxue, standing to the side, was also at a loss for words. The afternoon's competition would probably be even more troublesome. During the break, the cultivators from the various holy lands would definitely gather together to analyze why they had failed in the morning's competition.
"Uncle, are we going to your place at noon today? Mother said that Grandpa and Grandma are staying at Aunt's place." Nangong Muyu and Nangong Mufeng ran over with smiles.
Dongfang Dieyi and Dongfang Canglan came over more than once.
"Oh, okay, by the way, let me introduce you. This is my grandmother, and that's your great-grandmother." Ye Liuyun immediately introduced Li Muyun to her four nephews and nieces as they approached.
"No need for introductions, we've already met," Li Muyun said with a smile.
Nangong Muyu and the others quickly bowed to Li Muyun.
“Great-grandmother, it’s great to see you again. It’s been almost a hundred years since we last met,” Nangong Muyu said with a smile.
Li Muyun nodded.
"Oh, you've already met. That's good. Let's go. By the way, let's inform your mother and father and ask them to come too. This is a rare opportunity for the whole family to reunite." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
The four nodded, then quickly took out their communication devices to contact their fathers and mothers.
Within ten minutes, the entire Ye and Lin families, the two major households, were all present at Lin Aoxue's villa.
The villa was bustling with activity, but Ye Feiwu was somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, because of Ye Liuyun's situation, they were used to it and were only slightly taken aback.
Lin Tianya was also there. As soon as he returned, he chuckled and gave all the treasures he had won from those Holy Lords as gifts to the younger generation of the Lin and Ye families. After all, he was currently the most senior among the direct elders of the two families.
Looking at the villas where the disciples of the Holy Land were located, their Holy Lords and other disciples who were watching the show had also arrived. The atmosphere in the villas of the Holy Land where too many people had been eliminated was rather oppressive.
These fifteen holy lands, excluding the Nine Heavens Holy Land, are the Myriad Spirits Holy Land, the Azure Waves Holy Land, the Gu Spirit Holy Land, the Wind and Snow Holy Land, the Five Elements Holy Land, the Yin and Yang Holy Land, the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, the Northern Spirit Holy Land, the Heavenly Sun Holy Land, the Azure Sky Holy Land, as well as the Xiao Family, the Shi Family, the Nie Family, and the Chu Family.
