Chapter 182 Behind the Storm, the Ten Great Disciples
The four immortals either flew swords, drove clouds, or moved directly, using different methods, and left this place to greet the visitors. Wu Yi had to stretch his neck and look far away in the direction of the mountain gate.
However, this place is dozens or hundreds of miles away from the mountain gate. Perhaps those immortals have a sense of Taoism and great magical powers, and these miles are in their thoughts, but after a few breaths, Wu Yi could not find any trace of the immortals with his eyesight, so he had to lower his head and stop looking.
The strangeness above the extreme sky also attracted many cultivators below to look up. The cultivators who were familiar with the details here naturally understood that the immortals from other sects who were watching the ceremony were about to arrive. Although the banquet below was still going on, they glanced at the mountain gate from time to time, waiting for the battle to begin.
At this time, Wu Yi saw the figure of Wang Chuchen, who was alone and not lonely. There was no cultivator next to him to invite him to drink. After all, Wang Chuchen, who had just returned from the Yiqi Taoist Temple in Liucheng, did not have many close friends in the inner sect.
Of course, the most crucial reason is that the monks spread the news that Lingya Shangzhen supported Wang Chuchen to become one of the top ten disciples. He actually needed the master of Dongtian Shangzhen to come forward to become one of the top ten disciples. Although these disciples did not dare to mock Wang Chuchen directly due to the authority of Dongtian Shangzhen, it did not prevent them from isolating Wang Chuchen.
Being treated like this, Wang Chuchen was speechless. Indeed, Lingya Shangzhen had the idea of supporting him as one of the top ten disciples, but Lingya Shangzhen understood that Wang Chuchen had just broken through and it was still difficult for him to become one of the top ten disciples. He did not deliberately ask Wang Chuchen to become one of the top ten disciples in this battle.
Lingya Shangzhen only needed to come forward and say a word to solve this problem, but the head of the sect Xuan Xingsi intervened in the middle and asked Lingya Shangzhen not to respond and let the matter ferment.
Here we have to mention the unspoken rules of the top ten disciples. The first six must be from the lineage of Dongtian Shangzhen, and the remaining four positions are for ordinary disciples, even if their strength is much higher than those disciples from Dongtian.
There have been objections to this within the sect, especially those prominent families whose strength is not much worse than those giants except for the lack of a cave heaven master. They have the biggest objections to this. The position of the top ten disciples can even affect the rise and fall of a family, so they can't help but fight for it.
There are even disputes within the giants. As mentioned before, only five of the twelve giants now have a cave heaven master in charge. The cave heaven masters of other families are either going to the upper world or to other worlds to visit friends and seek the truth. The giants with cave heaven masters in charge naturally have a much louder voice and are much more capable of grabbing the quota.
In other words, those giants without cave heaven masters no longer have the qualifications to "predetermine" the top ten disciples. Their dissatisfaction is the most dangerous. Xuan Xingsi mainly wants to appease this group of people, otherwise the sect may fall into division.
Under the game at the highest level, Wang Chuchen has actually become a pawn to provoke many disciples' dissatisfaction with the predetermination of the top ten disciples.
Lingya Shangzhen understood this. Although he was also a cave cultivator, he was not as strong or powerful as the previous cave cultivators when he first entered this realm. It would be a good thing to break this deadlock as soon as possible. He could also get the favor of the wealthy family who understood the connection. It was not a loss. However, after this incident, Wang Chuchen's chance of becoming one of the top ten disciples was very slim.
Those cave cultivators have practiced for thousands of years, and their minds are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. They knew that the leaves would fall before the wind rose, and they had already instructed their disciples to show their true abilities in this competition for the top ten disciples, and not to give the headmaster a handle, otherwise they might be deprived of the position of the top ten disciples.
After all, they have the guidance of the cave cultivators and their disciples, and they are promoted to the top ten disciples. Their cultivation is not weak. Without the protection of this unspoken rule, they will not necessarily fall in the ranking.
In this way, the upper echelons acquiesced, the lower echelons fanned the flames, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the sparks developed into a raging fire. Those junior brothers of Wang Chuchen really thought that it was their instigation that caused today's scene, which was too naive.
Wu Yi just glanced at Wang Chuchen, and Wang Chuchen, who had a keen sense of spiritual perception, sensed it. He looked in the direction of Wu Yi and saw that it was Wu Yi. Although he had heard that Wu Yi had become a disciple of Zhi Tianxuan, the Yuanying Zhenren, but seeing him standing on Zhi Tianxuan's cloud car at this time, he was considered to have settled this conclusion, and he was still happy for Wu Yi.
Originally, in his mind, Wu Yi should have become a disciple of the Jindan cultivator, and finally being able to worship under the seat of the Yuanying Zhenren was beyond his expectations.
However, Wang Chuchen remembered some rumors he had heard recently about Wu Yi's departure from the Heavenly Ladder. Although he did not get a positive answer from Shangzhen, Wu Yi's ability to worship under Zhi Tianxuan's seat originally represented some problems. If it was really the spirit of the Heavenly Ladder that let Wu Yi, a small cultivator, go to sleep, would Zhi Tianxuan accept him?
Maybe those rumors are true? A bold idea came into Wang Chuchen's mind, but it had been thousands of years since he heard that any disciple had passed the Heavenly Ladder. Did Wu Yi really do it? Wang Chuchen's heart was mixed, and his thoughts were in a mess.
After all, Wu Yi was now standing in the cloud car of Zhi Tianxuan Zhenren, so Wang Chuchen couldn't go forward to ask, so he just nodded, and didn't even have much eye contact.
Although Wu Yi and Wang Chuchen nodded for only a short moment, it was still captured by someone with a mind, "Brother Hua, it seems that your arrangement is not effective." A cultivator in a purple robe and a golden crown teased Hua Jianling.
The person who spoke was called Yuan Qiming. He was one of the ten disciples, ranked sixth, and came from the Yuan family of a wealthy family. He was also the Yuan family who had an enmity with Wu Yi. It was just that Yuan Qiming and the Yuan family that Wu Yi killed. Qingxi didn't come from the same house, and he didn't even know that Wu Yi had such a feud with his Yuan family. After all, the fact that Yuan Qingxi was beheaded was a family scandal, and it wouldn't be easily spread.
Including Yuan Qiming and Hua Jianling, a total of ten people gathered in this flying boat. They were the top ten disciples of the previous term, and Hua Jianling was the head of the top ten disciples.
The flying boat here is the grandest, but the number of people is the smallest. There is no golden bridge to connect other flying boats. It looks lonely and independent, but it makes this flying boat even more extraordinary.
Although there were only a few people in the flying boat, there was no shortage of everything, including fruits and vegetables brewed by immortals, and delicacies on jade plates. Before Yuan Qiming teased Hua Jianling, everyone was still changing cups and drinking wine, and the atmosphere was warm.
Although the battle is about to come, few people here feel depressed and bored. The reason is for no other reason. People who have not become the top ten disciples will not know the resources that the top ten disciples can control, especially those who are qualified to practice the sect. To the Dharma's three skills and nine sutras, the progress of cultivation is beyond what others can imagine.
However, there are so many people who want to become the top ten disciples, and it is not impossible for someone with extraordinary qualifications to emerge. It is not uncommon for one or two of the top ten disciples to change their positions every time.
Hearing Yuan Qiming's words, Hua Jianling put down the wine glass in his hand, and he responded calmly, always extremely arrogant: "Jian Ling certainly didn't dare to argue with the Master of Zhi Pavilion. Besides, I just didn't see this method at the beginning. His Taoist attainments are not low, and he may be able to strengthen his disciple's reputation. That's why he recommended him to the ladder of heaven. Now that he has achieved success, what does it have to do with me to choose to be my junior brother Wu Yi?"
Yuan Qiming did not argue with Hua Jianling. Anyway, he just saw that Hua Jianling was unruly and bossed around them, and deliberately used this to provoke him. He didn't care what the truth was.
The banquet continued, but the joy in the conversation was much less, and everyone seemed more reserved. At this time, a Taoist present said: "I heard that Lingya Shang really wanted to recommend his disciple Wang Chuchen to the top ten disciples. What do you think? treat?"
This person is Yan Qingxu, a member of the royal family of the Great Spirit Kingdom under the jurisdiction of Yiqi Sect, and a member of a prominent family. He ranks seventh among the ten major disciples. Due to the looming unspoken rules, Yan Qingxu does not know much about his status. Satisfied, he also tasted the mystery of the overall situation laid out by the leader Xuan Xingsi. At this time, he opened his mouth to test the six disciples in front of him.
However, the thoughts of the six top ten disciples in front were not tested. The person sitting at the end of the banquet snorted coldly, his name was Pan Wen, and said: "How else can I look at it? Naturally, I will see the truth under my hands."
Like his seat, Pan Wen is also ranked last among the top ten disciples. Judging from the usual situation, the crisis is great and he will be the target of many disciples' challenges.
It is worth mentioning that this Pan Wen is the only disciple among the ten disciples who comes from a small family and does not have the guidance of a famous teacher. His family background is not much different from that of the Liucheng Ge family who has many friends with Wu Yi. It can be said that he is flying out of Shanwowo. golden phoenix.
With his superhuman qualifications, he successfully occupied a seat among the top ten disciples. He could be said to be the biggest dark horse in the competition for the top ten disciples in the previous term. He also successfully became the target of struggle in the eyes of many disciples from small families.
Not long after Pan Wen became one of the top ten disciples, there were rumors that a rich and famous family wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. However, it was unclear which family it was, and whether it would succeed was unclear. But even if Pan Wen got the beauty, Pan Wen's background still made him subconsciously He hates these predetermined things and longs to win a good future through his own struggle.
"Brother Pan's words are reasonable. The sect's laws should not be taken lightly." Tang Guang, who ranked eighth, said. He was a slightly thin monk with a pale face and a high-pitched voice, but he was full of energy and blood. But it is extremely filling and magical.
Tang Guang was a descendant of the Tang family from a prominent family, and his words inevitably meant to criticize Sang and Huai. However, everyone wisely did not fall out when the battle for the top ten disciples was about to begin, and remained calm, but the banquet broke up unhappy because of this.
A stick of incense passed quietly, and several real people came back one after another, flying in the clouds and wielding swords. In addition to the four real people from the first sect, there were also three real people from other sects watching the ceremony. Their cars were missing, so they must have withdrawn before they arrived.
The battle among the top ten disciples of the Yiqi Sect is about to begin.
