Mortal bone

"The Seventh Peak won, but Xu Taiping didn't make a move. It was Jiang Zhi, the senior sister of the Seventh Peak, who forcibly endured the pain of soul-crying brought by the six thousand catties of ship's iron, and succeeded in engraving on the hanging iron."

While talking, Huang Que passed the jade slip to Liu Chuxuan.

"Great, great."

Liu Chuxuan heaved a long sigh of relief upon hearing the words.

Qifeng's victory in this round means that there is still a possibility of winning the leader and asking the head of the sword.

If there is no victory, even the possibility of asking the sword will be lost, and the turmoil in Qingxuan will definitely break out in advance.

At that time, whether Xu Taiping will live or die, no one can predict.

"However, Jiang Zhi from Qifeng can actually hang six thousand catties of iron. With this talent, she should have been famous in the Nine Houses long ago."

After reading the description on the jade slip, Liu Chuxuan muttered in confusion.

"I heard from Qing Xiao that Qifeng, the senior sister, was not inferior to him in talent. Unfortunately, she was injured during a sect experience and never recovered. Since then, she has disappeared from everyone."

The oriole sighed.

"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid it was Zhou Tong who did it again?"

Liu Chuxuan smiled coldly.

"It should be him."

The oriole nodded.

"What exactly does Zhou Tong want to do this week? Is he afraid that someone will threaten his position as the head?"

Liu Chuxuan frowned and muttered to himself.

"How many days until the last competition?"

He then raised his head and asked the oriole.

"Five days."

The oriole made some calculations, and then replied.

"Five days, with the speed of our fairy chariot, we should be able to catch up, but I'm afraid..."

Liu Chuxuan frowned and looked at the little girl lying on the ground.

"As long as you take the Xinshen Pill in time... there shouldn't be any major problems..."

The oriole said a little less confidently.

"hope so……"

Liu Chuxuan sighed, raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.

……

at the same time.

"I finally understand a little bit now."

Beside the stone table under the patio in the atrium of Qiyuexuan, Fairy Lingyue raised her chin and looked at the bright moon above her head, and said thoughtfully.

"Understand what?"

Xu Taiping, who was sitting across from him and stuffed money into his left eye, looked at Fairy Lingyue curiously.

"Why would Uncle Jiu choose your Qifeng to ask the head of the sword?"

Fairy Lingyue withdrew her gaze from looking at the moon, and looked down at Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Why?"

Xu Taiping asked.

"The first six competitions of the Qifeng Grand Competition tested the disciple's heart and perseverance far more than their cultivation. From this point, it can be seen that the five elders of Qingxuanzong established the sect, and the requirements of their disciples' heart and character It is higher than cultivation."

"But after so many years of inheritance, now the Qingxuan peaks select disciples, and their cultivation is obviously above all else. The only one who still retains a trace of inheritance is only you Qifeng."

"Although you, Peak Master, seem a little unscrupulous, when cultivating disciples, you still uphold the old tradition of the Qingxuan Sect, emphasizing nature over cultivation."

"This point can be seen from the performance of your senior sisters and senior brothers in the previous competitions."

Fairy Lingyue explained her opinion to Xu Taiping.

"So this questioning of the sword, on the surface, seems to be aimed at the head, but it is actually awakening Zhufeng?"

Xu Taiping nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, and expressed his conjecture.

"The peak masters of the second peak and the third peak retired at the last moment. Not surprisingly, they also saw this."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

"Sister Lingyue, isn't it all about cultivation in today's practice world? If you still follow the traditions of the older generation, Qingxuan will probably lag behind others, right?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously.

"On the contrary." Fairy Lingyue shook her head seriously, "In our Sumeru Realm, the stronger the sect is, the more it pays attention to the disciple's character."

"Lose your heart and lose everything?"

Xu Taiping suddenly remembered the warning that Sister Lingyue gave him back then.

"Yes, but that's only one of the reasons."

Fairy Lingyue nodded, then continued;

"A more important reason is that almost without exception, these big practice sects will be involved in the battle between heaven and demons. If the mind is unstable, it is impossible to survive on the battlefield."

"The battle between the demons?"

It was the first time Xu Taiping heard this word.

"The so-called war between heaven and demons is a war that Jiuyuan, the demon race, will launch against the human cultivation world every 300 years."

"Because it is impossible to break through the enchantment set up by the human emperor and the immortal Buddha in ancient times, and the passage of Jiuyuan is easy to be destroyed, a certain demon god of Jiuyuan opened a place in the void at the cost of sacrificing himself. A small world connecting the three worlds."

"This small world opens every 300 years, and each time lasts the same 300 years."

"So in these 300 years, countless human monks have entered this small world to prevent Jiuyuan from invading."

"This is the origin of the battle between Heaven and Demon."

Fairy Lingyue explained to Xu Taiping.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was shocked.

"I planned to talk about these things when you made your breakthrough in refining gods, but I saw a trace of their participation in the battle between heaven and demons from some sect inheritance of your Qingxuanzong, so I will mention it to you by the way. mouth."

Fairy Lingyue added another sentence at this time.

"Could it be that there is also a battle between the heavenly demons in the upper green world, and our Qingxuanzong also sent disciples to participate in the battle between the heavenly demons?"

Xu Taiping guessed.

"Naturally, the Shangqing Realm cannot avoid the battle between the heaven and the devil, but the method is different. As far as I know, before the battle between the heaven and the devil, they will select ten people from among the strongest in the heaven and earth from all sides, and Jiuyuan will choose ten people. If you win the ten-person death battle, the battle between the heavenly demon and the demon can be postponed for a hundred years."

Fairy Lingyue explained.

Xu Taiping was stunned.

"These things are still too far away for you, just listen to them. The most important thing right now is how to deal with tomorrow's questioning sword."

Fairy Lingyue warned Xu Taiping with a serious face.
