Chapter 76: Since Antiquity, My Dao Endures
At night, Xiao Fan sat cross-legged.
With each inhale and exhale, his abdomen rose and fell. Two formless streams of air could be seen circulating around his body, with faint glimpses of multicolored light flowing within them, appearing quite mystical.
A few mosquitoes flew towards him, and were swept up by the strange air currents. They immediately fell down but were not dead.
After landing on the bed, the mosquitoes quickly righted themselves and quietly lay prostrate around Xiao Fan.
Like these mosquitoes, a circle of them now surrounded him, neatly arranged, looking as if they were worshipping him.
Xiao Ming stood at the door of the bedroom, his brow slightly furrowed at this strange sight.
'Xiao Fan's Cultivation Technique... is a bit strange.'
He could sense that those mosquitoes had undergone a very peculiar change, which instinctively made him feel uncomfortable.
'So, Xiao Fan's beast taming methods today are related to this Cultivation Technique?'
Then, are his recent changes also related to this Cultivation Technique?
Xiao Ming looked at the formless air currents surrounding him, the faintly flowing multicolored light, and slowly, it actually gave him a feeling of heart-pounding dread.
"Brother, why are you here?"
A detached voice sounded. Xiao Ming suddenly looked up and saw a pair of eyes that were extremely calm, like a deep, serene pool.
Impossible!
Xiao Fan is only at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, how could he have discovered him?
He suppressed the shock in his heart, "I came to see you."
"Then did Brother see anything?" Xiao Fan's tone was still very detached.
It was at this instant that Xiao Ming seemed to see the same multicolored light in his eyes as in the air currents.
Hmm?!
That heart-pounding dread instantly turned into a chilling fear. The magical power within his body seemed to sense something extremely terrifying, pushing his vital energy and blood to burst forth.
Fortunately, Xiao Ming managed to forcefully suppress the vital energy and blood that was about to erupt at the last moment.
"Nothing, just cultivate well."
"Okay."
Xiao Ming closed the bedroom door and withdrew.
Standing at the doorway, he took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision.
However, not long after he retreated, Xiao Fan seemed to murmur, "A follower of Ba Zun..."
Turning his head to look out the window, the formless air current circulating around his body suddenly accelerated. The mosquitoes around him were directly twisted by this and turned into dust.
"Borrowing the destiny of my Cang Clan to nourish your Human Clan junior." It was clearly still Xiao Fan's voice, but it carried a sense of vastness and ancientness. "Senior Huo, are you prepared to pay the price?"
Among those here, the only one he could take seriously was this person.
'Xiao Fan' turned his head, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation again.
After a while, Xiao Fan opened his eyes with a somewhat bewildered look. His eyes were clear, without the coldness from before.
He had heard a voice again just now.
It was the same sentence he heard when he looked at the Mystic Realm at noon. That sentence was...
"Since antiquity, my Dao endures."
The moment he softly spoke this sentence, his vision blurred for a moment, as if he saw a figure with an ordinary appearance and a gentle demeanor.
Senior Huo?
He saw that 'Senior Huo' opened his eyes, which were as bright as glazed glass, flowing with multicolored light.
............
The next day, the central plaza of Xuanjian City.
This is directly below the Mystic Realm. Around the plaza are some Si Lv Hall Disciples wearing black uniforms.
In fact, it's not just here. Important buildings like schools and municipal buildings also have Si Lv Hall Disciples dispatched to maintain order.
In an open space not far from the plaza, there are several strange houses made of earth and stone with roofs made of green wood.
These were temporarily built yesterday by finding a few cultivators who practiced Five Elements techniques.
Li Qingyang lay on a reclining chair, holding a wine gourd in his hand and occasionally taking a gulp, but there was no hint of wine aroma around him.
This was also the result of his deliberate control.
Given the cultivation levels of the people nearby, even if they accidentally smelled a trace, they would be directly drunk to death.
And it would be the kind that they would never wake up from.
Putting down the gourd, Li Qingyang looked up at the sky.
"Which Martial Uncle or Shishu is it, to actually cause such a commotion?"
The Mystic Realm is hidden behind the sky curtain and has not fully arrived in reality.
"Deputy Hall Master, it's about to start."
Jiang Jing walked over from the side. She had already changed into the black uniform of the Zhizhang Hall. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, looking heroic and spirited.
Compared to the Si Lv Hall uniform, the Zhizhang Hall's black uniform is more concise, with almost no extra decorations, making it most suitable for Sword Cultivators in battle formations.
She is also a trial participant in the third round of trials.
"It's about to start?" Li Qingyang sat up, "Go, remember to get a good result."
"Yes."
Jiang Jing bowed and turned to walk into the plaza with her sword.
Not long after she entered, some people also arrived at the plaza one after another.
But when they saw the Si Lv Hall Disciples surrounding the plaza, their expressions changed.
Some directly turned around and left, but others didn't care much and walked into the plaza.
The latter were mostly cultivators from other Immortal Sects. The few Immortal Sect Disciples who arrived by flying boat earlier were among them.
"The Sword Sect actually had people surround this place, they are truly overbearing," the Artifact Refiner from Shenji Lianbao Pavilion said dully. "Are they trying to make people retreat in the face of difficulty?"
The Disciple from Lingyin Workshop shook her head slightly, "It's just normal maintenance of public order. It should be arranged by Xuanjian City itself and has nothing to do with the Sword Sect."
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for this trial, the main branch of the Sword Sect wouldn't even pay much attention to this place.
"Although Sword Cultivators from the Sword Sect are a bit arrogant, overall they are still good. They wouldn't do something like this," the Alchemist from Jishi Valley also said.
He had been to the Starry Sky Battlefield a few times before and liked teaming up with Sword Cultivators the most.
Sword Cultivators are arrogant, but when there's trouble, they really step up, and they are also incredibly powerful fighters.
As for Body Cultivators... although they are also not cowardly and are very powerful fighters.
But when they start fighting, their cursing is really too unpleasant to listen to. It's simply unbearable.
Truly a bunch of vulgar brutes!
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a gaze. Looking up, he saw the Body Cultivator from the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect.
"What's wrong, Dao Friend?" The Alchemist's expression didn't change, and he asked politely.
I suspect you are mocking me.
"Nothing," the Body Cultivator said dully.
And the Artifact Refiner from Shenji Lianbao Pavilion didn't say anything more either.
In fact, everyone could understand why he suddenly said those words just now.
In the previous Immortal Sect Grand Competition, Shenji Lianbao Pavilion had a strong contender for the championship who was highly anticipated. He was his cousin.
As for the result, that person met Chi Jiuyu in the first round and then suffered a tragedy.
Chi Jiuyu not only severely beat his cousin but also mocked him while fighting. Her words were as venomous as a Body Cultivator from the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect.
In the end, she directly beat him into self-isolation.
It is said that he hasn't recovered for a long time, so he was recently sent to the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect for treatment.
Alas~
How tragic.
As time passed, the plaza gradually filled with people. The Disciples of the Seven Great Immortal Sects were basically all present.
Emm... except for the Supreme Dao Sect.
Until exactly nine o'clock, out of five hundred trial participants, less than one-fifth came to the plaza.
But whether they came to the plaza or not, a line of golden text appeared in the eyes of all trial participants.
