Volume 4: The Celestial Continent Chapter 7: The Gathering of the Heroes

"Brother Daoist Feng, the Inquiring Mind Sect has lived up to its reputation as a strange sect that has been passed down for thousands of years! Your two disciples have good cultivation. Looking at the world, there aren't many people in this generation who can surpass them!" Jian Wuxin smiled as he looked at the two Tianxin and said. Feng Zhen still smiled blandly and said, "Sect Leader Heartless overpraised, these two inferior disciples of my old man where compared to Sect Leader Heartless' senior disciple Ling Yu ah! Little friend Ling has the best skills of the Sacred Sword Sect and the Ling Family, and is even assisted by the Sunset Divine Sword! I'm sure that this time, Sect Leader Heartless has already won the tournament, right?" Jian WuXin smiled and said, "It's getting late, I'll send the three of you back to the Sacred Sword Sect to rest first!" Feng Zhen nodded and followed behind Jian Wuxin towards the top of Sacred Xuan Mountain! The night was silent, and the next day, several other major sects, as well as the four great lineages also arrived at Mount Saint Xuan one after another! The Sacred Xuan Mountain was suddenly bustling with activity! The last to come was the Eastern Ling Family, which was the farthest away from the Sacred Sword Sect! The Ling Family didn't have any young generation experts to participate in this Cultivation Sacred Meeting. Only the contemporary head of the Ling Family, Ling Tiangang, and his wife, Lan Caifeng, came to participate in the Cultivation Event! After all, Ling Tiangang's only son, Ling Yu, was the shut-in disciple of the Sacred Sword Sect's Sect Master! Ling Yu's cultivation was extraordinary, and even if the Ling Family did not send anyone to participate in this Cultivation Extravaganza competition, no one dared to belittle the Ling Family's position in the Cultivation World! At night, Jian Wuxin hosted a banquet at the Sacred Xuan Temple to welcome the heads of all the major sects as well as the heads of the four great families! At the same time, they were discussing this Cultivation Conference! Jian Wuxin was seated in the center. On the left were Feng Zhen, the master of the Heart Sect, Tian Xing Zi, the master of the Five Elements Sect, Master Bodhi, the master of the Zen Sect, Liu Wuxing, the master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Lei Hong, and the master of the Purple Haze Sword Sect, Meng Ziyan! And on the right were Ling Tian Gang, Master of the Ling Family in the East, Qin Yuejun, Master of the Qin Family in the North, Wu Yitian, Master of the Wu Family in the South, and Xiao Yuntian, Master of the Xiao Family in the West! Jian Wuxin looked at the crowd with a smile and said, "Thanks to the love of all of you, my Sacred Sword Sect has been able to dominate the Righteous Alliance for hundreds of years! Now, the once-in-twenty-years Cultivation Event is about to be held again, and the Six Devil Sects have begun to reappear in the rivers and lakes! We should take advantage of this event to decide the next leader of the Alliance! We will lead the heroes, kill the demons, and keep the world peaceful!" At this time, Ling Tian Gang stood up and chimed in, "Sword Sect Master is right, the six paths of the Devil Sect have reappeared, so our sect should take advantage of this Cultivation Event to elect an ally who truly has the strength to lead the heroes. Lead everyone in a battle against the Devil Sect!" Jian Wuxin faintly smiled towards Ling Tian Gang, then looked at the crowd of Ren and said, "I wonder what else you all have to say?" Master Bodhi, the Patriarch of the Zen Sect, rose and put his palms together, "Amitabha Buddha! Ever since the master of the Inquiring Mind Sect led the group to defeat the Devil Sect a thousand years ago, the group has set a rule of once every twenty years for the Cultivation Fest. The disciples of the sect are used to determine the new generation of allies! Now, the twenty-yearly Cultivation Event to! To determine the next Alliance Master of the Righteous Alliance, this move is really inexcusable!" The patriarch of the Five Elements Sect, Tian Xing Zi, also rose at this time and said, "Sword Sect Master, what Master Bodhi said is true, competing in the Cultivation Event to determine the next alliance leader is a rule that has been passed down from a thousand years ago. How can we change it without authorization!" "Good! Since everyone shares the same opinion as Jian, then our sect will discuss the matter of the competition next!" Jian Wuxin's words turned serious as he said, "Of the seven sects and four families this time, the Ling Family is not participating in this tournament! However, Sect Inquiring Mind's Sect's Sectmaster Feng has two more disciples participating in this tournament. So there are still ten factions, and according to the usual practice, each faction will have a maximum of four participants, and the competition is a group elimination system! Later on, please ask each Sect Master to hand in the list of their candidates for the competition into the hands of Sword Sect's senior brother, Liu Xuanfeng, and draw the lots in the public tomorrow, do you have any objections?" "Everything will be decided by Sect Master Jian!" All the Sect Masters said in unison. ... After the dinner, Feng Zhen returned to his residence from the Sacred Xuan Palace. When Yu Die saw Feng Zhen walking in, she immediately jumped up and down and said, "Master, you're back. What did Jian Wuxin want your door to do at the Sacred Xuan Temple!" Feng Zhen smiled amiably, "Of course it's to discuss the matters of this Cultivation Event! Oh, looking at that Jian Wuxin's expression, it seems like he is very confident in this meeting, if not what I expected, Jian Wuxin must have passed on the Sunset Divine Sword to Ling Yu, right? With Ling Yu's cultivation at the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Condensed Body, coupled with the incomparably powerful Sunset Divine Sword, there is really no one in the major sects who can pass it on to Ling Yu! There's really no one in the major sects who can fight against him!" Yu Die instantly said worriedly, "Master, what should we do then? Can Big Brother Tianxin beat that Ling Yu?" Feng Zhen patted Yu Die's head and smiled faintly, "You have so little confidence in your Big Brother Tian Xin! Your Tianxin's cultivation has long since reached the late stage of the Yuan Shen Condensed Body, even if Ling Yu has the help of a divine sword, Tianxin can still be undefeated! What's more, I feel that the sword in Tianxin's hand is absolutely extraordinary! By the way, where did that kid Tian Xin go!" Yu Die tutted her mouth and said unhappily, "Don't mention that guy, he's been sitting in his room cultivating since you went out. It hasn't come out until now!" "Oh? It seems that that brat's such a high level of cultivation was by no means obtained by chance either!" After Feng Zhen murmured, he said to Yu Die, "Die'er, since Tian Xin is still cultivating, we won't disturb him! Go rest first, I'll tell you about the competition in the morning!" ... Early in the morning, when the first golden light rose from the east, the entire Sacred Xuan Mountain was shrouded in a layer of haze. Countless birds chirped in the mountains, ushering in a new day with joy, and the pleasant songs seemed to be praising everything that was beautiful in this world. Early in the morning, Feng Zhen woke up Tianxin and Yu Die. Tianxin and the two of them looked at Feng Zhen seriously, both of them knew the importance of this competition! It could be related to the safety and security of the entire world, it was quite a crucial matter. Facing that rumored number one person of the younger generation in the cultivation world, Tian Xin didn't dare to take it lightly! Feng Zhen swept his gaze lovingly over the two of them, and only after a while did he softly say: ''Tianxin, Yu Die, originally, I didn't want to involve you in this cultivation world's disputes! However, Sword Wuxin has been planning to do so, and the righteous cultivation world is at stake. I also have no choice, especially Tianxin, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse to involve you in this?" Tianxin smiled blandly, "Senior is serious, Jian Wuxin has an affair with the Devil Dao, if this is allowed to be a new rise of the Devil Dao! The world will definitely be in chaos, and this is not what Tianxin wishes to see! Since Tianxin has promised senior to fight Ling Yu, I will definitely go all out!" Feng Zhen smiled happily, "Good! I am relieved in this way. At noon today, the sect heads are going to take the participating disciples to the Sacred Xuan Hall to hold the opening ceremony of this Cultivation Extravaganza, as well as announcing the list of the first round of competition targets!" After hearing Feng Zhen's words, Tian Xin turned his head to look in the direction of the Sacred Xuan Hall and muttered, "It's finally about to begin. Ling Yu, I hope you won't let me down!"
