Chapter 286: Friendly Match, Huoyun's Eruption! Great Sun Devouring Heaven vs Artificial Sun! (Part 1)
Mo Wen claimed the first place!
He was deep.
Even after defeating all opponents and securing the top spot, he hadn't exerted much effort. This was evident to everyone.
Among the seven mascots, Qiu Yongqin was absent, but the remaining six had three powerful individuals in the top ten, with two in the top five. The other three were all within the top twenty, showcasing their own brilliance and leaving everyone in awe.
At this moment, the top ten were instantly renowned throughout the Moon Embrace Sect, even attracting the attention of the visiting forces.
Liu Wanli couldn't help but praise, "The Moon Embrace Sect is brimming with talent, with an incredibly bright future!"
At this moment, he was incredibly relieved.
He was glad that he had been 'cautious' and made the most correct choice. Otherwise, the grass on Liu's family graves would have grown several feet tall.
"As expected."
"Although my talent in cultivation may not be exceptional, my eyes for judging people have never led me astray."
"From now on, the Liu family's task is to wholeheartedly support the Moon Embrace Sect."
"As long as we are bound with the Moon Embrace Sect, my family will soar to new heights. Even if we were to stand alongside the Hai family, it's not impossible!"
Of course, there were risks involved.
But in this world, where is there ever a smooth and easy path?
If you want opportunities and advantages without taking risks or gambling, then you're dreaming.
Stop living in a fantasy, be more realistic, and invest wisely. That's the way to go!
···
Hai Dongpo stroked his beard, smiling contentedly.
"The Moon Embrace Sect has a bright future!"
"When I handed over the Crystal Flame, I wondered if I would regret it. But now, I don't think I will. I'm just waiting for Sect Master Lin to help our clan resolve the 'Heavenly Master's Degree' aftereffects."
"At that time..."
"Perhaps, I can still lend a hand to the Moon Embrace Sect."
"···"
···
The representatives from the Beast Control Sect, Great Harmony Palace, Five Elements Sect, and Sword Spirit Sect were amazed and couldn't help but compare their own disciples to the Moon Embrace Sect's top ten.
If they were to develop their talents, who would come out on top?
But...
The results of their speculation left most of them with unpleasant expressions.
"Why does the Moon Embrace Sect have so many talents?"
"Previously, we thought that the Moon Embrace Sect's success was solely due to their good fortune in recruiting exceptional talents like Xiao Ling'er. But now it seems that even without her, the Moon Embrace Sect is still not to be underestimated."
"Indeed, if the Moon Embrace Sect isn't destroyed, even without Xiao Ling'er and the others, they'll only need a hundred years at most to surpass us."
"A hundred years, from the bottom of the third-tier to challenging the top of the first-tier. This... is terrifying and unprecedented, right?"
"Wake up." Rao Zhirou suddenly interjected, "What do you mean by a hundred years?"
"You're talking about a hundred years required if Xiao Ling'er and the others are excluded. But they are still here, with their near-abnormal growth rates. Perhaps, in just a decade or two, the Moon Embrace Sect's strength will surpass ours."
Qian Yin-Yang from the Great Harmony Palace and Zhou Kai from the Five Elements Sect fell silent.
They were rendered speechless by Rao Zhirou's words.
Damn, you shouldn't have said that!
Now it sounds even more frightening, doesn't it?
A decade or two?
Qu Feisi couldn't help but smirk.
How shallow!
The Moon Embrace Sect is more formidable than you can imagine!
Do you know about our third sequence disciple?
Currently, he is capable of killing the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect from a distance. If he can kill their Holy Son, it means he can potentially do the same to your Holy Son and Holy Daughter.
But...
He has been poached by the Moon Embrace Sect, and up until now, he hasn't gained any reputation.
He can be used as a hidden ace or a trump card.
Moreover...
Do you know what's inside the Moon Embrace Sect's Spirit Beast Garden?
Don't be naive; the Moon Embrace Sect is far more profound than you think!
Hmph!
The Moon Embrace Sect is truly extraordinary!
What if...
What if there's a way to bring He Anxia back to the Beast Control Sect? Or even... what if there's a way to bring the entire Moon Embrace Sect under our control?
"···"
It's a beautiful idea.
But he also knew that it was highly unlikely.
The Moon Embrace Sect is currently at its peak, with disciples of such high potential. Only a fool would bring an entire sect under another's command, and even if they did, it would have to be a Holy Land.
A Super Top Sect might not even consider them, let alone the Beast Control Sect, which isn't even a Super Top Sect yet.
"Sigh."
Qu Feisi sighed inwardly.
"If only we could bring He Anxia back and enjoy the Moon Embrace Sect's benefits, not to mention their endless supply of eight-treasure chicken and duck..."
"How wonderful that would be!"
Even though he knew it was impossible, he couldn't help but fantasize about it.
It's not that he's inexperienced, but the Moon Embrace Sect's offerings are simply too tempting.
······
However, Qu Feisi and the others soon became speechless again.
The top hundred took the stage to receive their 'rewards'!
The first Imperial Scripture and the Invincible Technique.
Second place, the Imperial Scripture.
Third place, the Invincible Technique.
In addition, there were abundant resource rewards.
From the fourth place onward, there were no invincible techniques or artifacts, but the resources were so plentiful that even the top disciples from super-elite sects would be envious.
Even Wen Ruyan's eyes turned red with desire!
One of her direct disciples couldn't help but ask, "Saintess, our Bright Moon Sect's internal competition... I remember last year, you were the top scorer. What was the reward then?"
Wen Ruyan hesitated, "..."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
She grumbled in response.
What was the reward?
Of course, it was something good!
At least, that's what she had always believed until today. But now, when compared to the Moon Embrace Sect's rewards, she suddenly felt that the Bright Moon Sect's prizes were so meager!
And this was despite the fact that she, as the Saintess, had received a more substantial reward due to the special consideration of the sect's upper echelons.
If it were an ordinary inner disciple or a direct disciple, the reward would have been even more meager.
Even so, it was still not even a tenth of what the Moon Embrace Sect offered!
Damn it!
Even though Wen Ruyan was typically gentle and not one to engage in conflicts, at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a hint of envy and dissatisfaction.
Envy was a natural human emotion.
The dissatisfaction, however, was...
The sect's elders were too stingy!
The Bright Moon Sect was a top-tier sect, possessing nearly twenty thousand Spirit Mountains, and with its long history and rich heritage, its foundation should far surpass that of the Moon Embrace Sect.
Yet, for the internal competition, the rewards given to her, the Saintess, were not even a tenth of what the other sect offered...
If this wasn't stinginess, then what was?
She was dissatisfied.
The other Bright Moon Sect disciples were even more discontent.
Damn!
When we go out, everyone respects us, and we take pride in our sect, thinking highly of the Bright Moon Sect.
But what's this?
We've given our hearts to the sect, and now they're playing mind games with us?
With such meager resources...
Are they trying to shoo away beggars?
Even a small sect like the Moon Embrace Sect provides ten times better 'benefits' to their disciples!
Damn it!
Their disciples may have incredible talent, but with such resources, if it were me, I'd be ten times happier!
Their hearts were filled with complaints, and they grumbled among themselves.
They thought this was already outrageous, but they never expected...
That there would be more!
Just as the top 100 disciples were beaming with joy and preparing to leave the stage after receiving their rewards, Xiao Ling'er gracefully approached and said, "Hold on."
"The Moon Embrace Sect has been dormant for many years, and this internal competition holds great significance. As the sect master's direct disciple and the eldest senior sister, I should set an example."
"Therefore, I've decided, in the name of my alchemy lineage and myself, to provide additional resources to the top ten as encouragement."
"..."
Is this even allowed? Qu Feisi, Rao Zhirou, and Chen Chen looked at each other, blinking in surprise.
"As far as I know, there's no such precedent," said Qu Feisi, shaking his head.
Rao Zhirou sighed, "Indeed, there's no precedent, but who would forbid it? After all, cultivators go against the heavens, fighting against the heavens, the earth, and even themselves."
"Wealth, law, and companionship are known to all."
"As cultivators, even you and I, before becoming sect masters, lacked resources, didn't we?"
"If we find our own resources insufficient, how could we possibly spare some to reward other 'fellow disciples'? This is simply... a fantasy!"
"Who can argue with that?" Chen Chen said, his lips twitching. "Our sect engages in a disreputable business, though despised by others, but we earn quite a lot."
"Even so, our sect's disciples and elders are still lacking in resources."
"Rewarding and rewarding fellow disciples? It's indeed a bit outrageous."
"..."
Qu Feisi nodded, "Who can argue with that?"
"But, what can we do? She's Xiao Ling'er."
"After all, she's a master of alchemy, and it's said that she's not far from becoming a Grand Master."
(Chapter End)
"Moreover, it's a Ninth Rank pill, and there's absolutely no side effects at all, so you can take it with peace of mind!"
"As long as you reach the peak of your current realm, taking a Ninth Rank Boundary-breaking Pill will give you at least a 70-80% chance of immediate breakthrough, and there won't be any side effects at all!!!"
"At the very least, it can save you months of bitter cultivation. If your talent is good, you might even advance another minor realm in a few months."
"This..."
"Damn, why are the benefits of Moon Embrace Sect so good??"
"What benefits of Moon Embrace Sect? This isn't the benefit of Moon Embrace Sect, it's something given by my senior sister, understand? The sect doesn't provide it, but what the sect gives is better than this!"
"Senior sister? We have a senior sister too, but..."
"..."
Wen Ruyan's face darkened.
What do you mean we have a senior sister too?
Ah, right, right, right, according to the 'ranking', I, as the Holy Daughter, am the senior sister. So, you're blaming me for not giving you good stuff, right?
How dare you!
I'd like to give it, but do I have it?
Even for a Ninth Rank Boundary-breaking Pill like this, not to mention you all, even I would be envious, right?
If I had something like this, why wouldn't I take it myself?! Now, you're blaming me instead? Wen Ruyan wasn't stupid, so she naturally understood their implied meaning, and this made her even more dissatisfied.
Xiao Ling'er was generous.
But that's because she has the ability.
Moreover, the sect is willing to nurture and empower her.
If it were me?
No resources, no such 'ability', and even if I had everything, I wouldn't dare do this. Otherwise, the higher-ups would think I'm trying to usurp their position! Blame me?
I blame you all!!!
Wen Ruyan pouted, her face turning sullen.
Lu Ming, who had observed everything, said, "Why do you have to be like this? We're all from the same sect."
"As fellow sect members, we should not behave like this."
"Speaking of which, it's my fault."
"As the sect's only pill concocting Elder, I spend most of my time cultivating and neglect pill concocting. Otherwise, why would Bright Moon Sect be so lacking in pills?"
"Let's do this. When I return this time, remind me, and I'll concoct some Boundary-breaking Pills for you all."
"If others have it, we should have it too!"
"We can't let others look down on us."
"Huh?"
Wen Ruyan and the others looked up in surprise, "Elder Lu, are you serious?"
"Do you think I'd lie to you?"
"Long live Elder Lu!!!"
Cheers erupted from the Bright Moon Sect disciples in the spectator area.
Although there were few of them, for a moment, their voices almost drowned out the shouts of the Moon Embrace Sect disciples on the arena.
This attracted the attention of many onlookers.
...
After a while, the Moon Embrace Sect disciples who had received their rewards left the stage one after another.
Wu Xingyun reappeared on the stage and smiled, "Thank you all for coming to witness this event. Our Inner Sect Competition concludes here."
"However..."
"Our sect's Direct Disciples also wish to take this opportunity to spar with others."
"If you're interested, you can watch."
The Direct Disciples are going to spar on stage? Instantly, all the senior experts in the audience became interested.
Although Mo Wen and the others' potential was not to be underestimated, and in Old Man Qiu's eyes, they had already reached the standard of ordinary Inner Sect Disciples of a Holy Land, they were still not considered top-notch.
But...
Everyone knew that Moon Embrace Sect's Direct Disciples were extraordinary. However, those who had witnessed their strength were few.
Today, they had the opportunity to see their prowess, so naturally, they wanted to observe carefully.
...
"I'll go first."
Xiao Ling'er reappeared on the stage and smiled, "As the senior sister, I should set an example."
"I wonder which junior brother or sister would like to come up and spar?"
"Hehe, I'll go."
Huoyun'er stepped onto the stage.
"Senior sister, please go easy on me."
"You too."
Xiao Ling'er's smile grew brighter.
This was a friendly spar between friends, so there was no need to hold back.
Moreover...
She couldn't use all her skills, letting others see and become wary. Besides, she genuinely wanted to spar with her good friend to see her true limits.
"In that case, I'll go all out, knowing your strength, I dare not be careless."
Huoyun'er took a deep breath and lightly tapped her storage bag.
Currently, she had reached the seventh level of the sixth realm.
Initially, her cultivation was far higher than Xiao Ling'er's, but now, it was weaker by quite a margin.
However, combat power was never solely judged by cultivation level.
One had to fight to know.
But...
No one was optimistic about Huoyun'er's chances.
The area where Guiyuan Sect's top ten disciples had arrived.
At this moment, they sighed, "Finally, we can see Xiao Ling'er again."
"Back then, when my Guiyuan Sect was almost destroyed, Xiao Ling'er appeared like a divine maiden, forcefully intervening and turning the tide with overwhelming strength. Her fairy-like figure that day was imprinted in my divine soul, and I'll likely never forget it."
"I feel the same."
"Sigh, at the weakest point in my life, I met the person I wanted to take care of for a lifetime. Alas, I'm well aware of my limitations, and I can only hope to watch her from afar."
"I wonder how strong Xiao Ling'er is now!!!"
"Speaking of which, Huoyun'er's reputation is also not small. She was once the daughter of the Fire Virtue Sect's Sect Leader, and her talent was astonishing. But compared to Ling'er, it's really nothing, right?"
"One can only say that her courage is admirable."
"..."
It wasn't just Guiyuan Sect's disciples.
In almost everyone's eyes, Huoyun'er was no match for Xiao Ling'er.
Moreover, not only was she unlikely to defeat Xiao Ling'er, but it would also be challenging to last three moves against Xiao Ling'er.
And it was at this moment.
As Huoyun'er lightly tapped her storage bag, it opened.
Then...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! A stream of light after another shot out, and subsequently, the colorful lights almost filled the sky!
Those were one magical treasure after another!
...
All of them were of Spirit Treasure quality or above!
Swords, spears, halberds, and eighteen types of weapons were all present.
There were also various defensive and special magical treasures.
And for weapons like swords and spears that excelled in both offense and defense, there were dozens of each.
"What the...!!!"
"Holy mother of mine!"
"How is this even possible?!"
The younger generation was left dumbfounded.
"Is it really possible to fight like this??"
"She's a total show-off!"
It wasn't just them. Even the older generation had their mouths agape and their eyes twitching in disbelief.
The worst among them were Spirit Treasures! Spirit Treasures!!!
Spirit Treasures are typically used by sixth-level cultivators.
And they don't even have many of them!
Having a single top-grade Spirit Treasure is enough to boast about.
