Episode 77

  Taiyi's true person had an unfavorable expression, and yet none of his disciples or followers came to rescue him!

  "Master Bo! Wait!"

  Behind him came Feng Cheng's voice.

  "What's wrong?"

  He said impatiently.

  "It seems that High Master has arrived over there!"

  "Who?"

  "Senior Brother Gao Wuyou!"

  That one girl suddenly turned around and looked towards the beach, only to see a figure covered in blood, stumbling and staggering onto the sand.

  "Master, save me! Master, save me!"

  "Let's go!"

  Insufficient words, then flew to the place of High Master Brother.

  "Hello, elder brother Gao! Are you well?"

  "Hurry up, a strong enemy is approaching from behind! I'm afraid even Master can't hold him off!"

  Insufficient to hear, startled and thought, the brain presents that hidden repair young master, also greatly surprised! Just turned back, Gao Wuyou had fainted at this time!

  "Master Bo, quickly deploy the grand formation! A powerful enemy is approaching!"

  Insufficiently rushed words.

  "What's all the fuss about?"

  "Gao Shixiong was seriously injured and fainted, he said that a powerful cultivator with great abilities is coming to attack, his divine powers are unfathomable!"

  "Hmm? Who dares to trespass on the secret grounds of our Yi Xiu Men?"

  Taiyi Zhenren was enraged and roared.

  "Are you prepared to meet your maker?"

  A sound of tranquility came from afar, its tone was calm and peaceful, but after entering the ears, it was like a thunderclap, shaking people's hearts. Those who heard the sound all knelt down on their knees and couldn't get up. After a while, only Taishi, Nvzhenren, Buzi, Chang'er and five or six others were still standing.

  "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

  Taiyi's face turned pale with shock and he hastily said.

  "Are you leaving? Leave that injured disciple behind! Otherwise, you'll easily repair the door, and I'll also make a breakthrough!"

  At this moment, a brilliant white light flashed in the stone pavilion, forming a huge silver ball that enveloped more than ten people on the spot. The Ant Hole Transfer Array was activated! Without lifting an eye to look outside, a figure wearing a golden robe with a giant bird underfoot, its eyes gleaming like electricity, flew sideways towards this place, one wing tilted. Suddenly, the heavens and earth roared, winds howled and clouds surged. A fierce gust of wind struck, causing the stone pavilion to creak and shatter, scattering debris everywhere.

  "One day, such a strong wind came that it blew away even the stone pavilion which was as solid as a boulder!"

  All the inadequacies of the heart seem to have sunk into an endless abyss! Even a person with such divine powers is not as good as that young master in many ways.

  "Scoundrel! Are you going to run away?"

  Na Xiu shouted loudly. Then he stretched out his hands and grabbed them, as if the infinite divine power had come to this place, even the transfer of the large array of ant holes made a crackling sound, as if it was about to collapse!

  Taiyi Zhenren, with a mouthful of incantations, threw the giant energy crystal on his hand into the formation. The formation rumbled and moved wildly. Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded, and the silver ball disappeared together with everyone inside the formation, leaving only the scattered remains of the formation blown away by the hurricane!

  "Hmph! You insignificant person, do you think I can't break through this formation? It's just that among your disciples, there is another expert who has used a clever method to conceal their cultivation and deceive heaven and earth! Alas, the cultivation of this person is something I find difficult to match! Let's retreat for now. What a pity about that treasure!"

  He pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned back with the golden bird.

  In the side hall of the Yi Xiu Immortal Mansion, a silver light suddenly appeared. In the center, a large array was transferred to the top of a mound, where over ten cultivators were wrapped in a light shield, all with an aura of having narrowly escaped death. Even the Ta Yi Female True Person's face was pale as she walked out of the array without saying a word, taking only one step before speaking quietly to the sect leader. The sect leader's expression changed from shock to fear, and finally turned pale. The disciples below looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was happening. Some busybodies quickly asked the over ten disciples who had just returned after successfully advancing to a higher level. Just then, a cold hum came from above. Everyone didn't dare move again. At this time, the sect leader whispered a few words with several cultivators beside him, and then shouted loudly:

  "This promotion test has come to an end. The promotion ceremony will be held next. Disciples inside the hall are not allowed to move around or make loud noises!"

  Having finished speaking, he departed with Taiyi Zhenren and Ye Wentian, taking fourteen people from this place and leaving in a hurry.

  After passing several hours, Ye Wen Tian Xian Chang returned with more than ten disciples who had advanced to the Jin level. The disciples in the hall looked up and saw that their master was already sitting on the main seat of the side hall, saying:

  "Silence! All disciples and sect members, the results of this year's promotion trial for our Yixiu Sect, held once every ten years, have been announced. Entrusted by the sect leader, I preside over this promotion trial ceremony. The 14th place goes to Lin Jiang, a disciple of Qingyuan period."

  "What? How can this be? Did I hear it wrong?"

  The crowd was shocked and asked each other in dismay.

  Those thirteen disciples stood under the main seat, and Bie Xiu also couldn't hear anything, so he could only listen to the next one.

  "The Thirteenth Name of Calcination Period Disciple Feng Cheng."

  "What? What? Calcination period? Who is it? Who is Feng Cheng? Which sect's disciple?"

  "I heard he's just a low-ranking disciple in charge of the divine mineral vein in the depths of the Bamboo Forest Sect!"

  "You know it's very subtle, you should recognize the person! Please say a word!"

  "Me? Haha! I just know that my master's sister, Fuyun Ru, is beautiful, but where did this little disciple of the Calcination Period come from?"

  "How is it possible for you? I've heard rumors of the number one beauty among the ten great sects' cultivators over the past decade?"

  "Exactly!"

  "Are you satisfied? You know who he is, but I'm afraid he may not know who you are! Haha!"

  ······

  "First place, Gao Wuyou, a disciple of the Condensing Yuan period."

  "When will Gao Wuyou condense his yuan? When will this person condense their yuan? Ah! It's unreasonable! This kind of person actually condensed their yuan!"

  "Hum! This can only prove that heaven is unfair!"

  "Silence! Gao Wu Yu has arrived at the secret realm of our sect. The rest of you, junior disciples, come forward to receive your rewards."

  "Yes!"

  Thirteen people spoke in unison, and then went on stage to receive their rewards. Thirteen female cultivators held jade trays and came forward with courtesy, each tray having thirteen golden ritual bags that sparkled with golden light, but it was unknown what was inside. Ye Wen Tian presented the awards to the thirteen senior cultivators of the sect, including the twelve managers. The one who did not receive an award was his own master, Ye Wen Tian. He picked up a golden ritual bag and handed it over to Bu Zu, saying:

  "Not bad! Not bad!"

  Insufficient to lift one's eyes and look around, yet seeing a mysterious glow in his eyes, as if familiar but not quite clear! A great sense of unease in the heart, yet instead respectfully said:

  "It's all thanks to the master's teachings!"

  "This time, each of you promoted disciples will receive a magical artifact! Come on! Take it!"

  Ip Man replied loudly.

  Then thirteen female cultivators each brought a treasure up, causing a commotion among the crowd below. These treasures were all top-grade, how could they not be eye-catching? The Cloud Chariot was one of them. This treasure could carry people and fly, its speed was not bad, and it was easy to control, as long as one's cultivation was sufficient!

  "Promoted disciples, one person one bottle of Tai Luo Dan!"

  "Ah! Such a enviable person! Tai Luo Dan is the top-grade elixir of the Condensed Origin realm! Last time, I only managed to get five pills for each person. This time, it's actually a whole bottle!"

  "Brother, how much is this bottle?"

  "Hmm! Rarely seen! One bottle for thirty pills!"

  "Heavens! How many spiritual materials and elixirs would it take to exchange for this?"

  "Hum! Who would exchange for such a precious medicine?"

  "Sigh! I should have joined this time..."

  "Hmph! Participate? Do you know how many fellow disciples died this time?"

  "How much?"

  "Over 800 people participated, less than 100 returned, and within a short period of time, only 13 people returned!"

  "Isn't it fourteen people?"

  "Gao Wuyou has arrived just in time!"

  "But he actually.........."

  "Hum! What's the secret in this? We don't know!"

  "In short, the treasure they got was bought with the lives of over 700 people! This is really too cheap!"

  "Yes! Since the beginning of time, this is the most deaths ever! It seems like they've suffered a great calamity!"

  "I heard that the Mausoleum Island's Ant Hole Transfer Array was destroyed by a mysterious powerful being! A fellow disciple who just returned from another Ant Hole Transfer Array mentioned this matter, but also spoke vaguely. All I know is that Lin Jiang killed nearly a hundred of his own sect members and was defeated by some Furnace Body period disciple named Feng Cheng or something. It's truly a case of retribution not being satisfied!"

  "Lin Jiang is a ruthless and cruel person! So vicious! Even his own sect members can be so treacherous! This defeat is indeed a great blow!"
