The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 11 Tianwutai Immortal Ascension Conference (Please read and collect)
Sitting on the back of a shoebill stork, the trees beneath my feet keep receding.A new and free feeling arises spontaneously.

All flying in the air.This feels much better than flying on a plane in my previous life.

After all, you can go wherever you want on the back of a shoebill stork.

After flying for half a day, Zhou found an uninhabited valley to land dozens of miles away from Tianwu Terrace.

The next day was the day when the Immortal Ascension Conference was held, so he found a secluded cave to live in, and at the same time he did not forget to place a ban at the entrance of the cave.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xun ate dry food and used his lightening skills to rush towards Tianwutai.

In the distance, flying figures can be seen from time to time.They were all casual cultivators going to the Immortal Ascension Conference.

. . .

Arrive at Tianwutai.

A square covering an area of ​​a thousand feet appeared in front of us. The square was paved with one-foot-sized blue stone slabs.However, many of them are either missing a corner here or there, so they must have been around for a long time.

There were more than a thousand people standing sparsely in the square, most of them were casual cultivators who had arrived in advance.Some casual cultivators came a day or two in advance and stayed overnight in the square.After all, there are rules here, and fighting is prohibited in the square during the Ascension Conference.

When the Immortal Ascension Conference was first held, loose cultivators from all over came together.It is inevitable that some monks with grudges will meet here.So there was a big fight.Not only did they destroy the venue, they also disrupted the order of the conference.

The seniors of the seven sects were furious, so they discussed and made rules.During the Immortal Ascension Conference, fighting is prohibited within the scope of the square and outside the arena, and violators will be punished by death.

At first, some people didn't think so.In the next few consecutive sessions, more than a dozen people were executed for violating the prohibition, and then things calmed down.

So later, some casual cultivators spent the night here in the square for safety.

Directly north of the square are seven hundred-foot-sized arenas.The arena is about ten feet high and is made entirely of white marble.There are still some mottled marks on it, which should be left by the monks' fighting skills in the past.

Behind each arena, there is a viewing platform five or six feet high.There are flags of various sects on it.There are several sets of stone chairs and tables placed next to them, which are used for the leaders of the sect to rest.

As soon as the hour came, a gong sounded, and more than twenty monks were seen flying towards the viewing platform.

They are the leaders of each sect in this Immortal Ascension Conference.

They are all foundation-building monks!

"Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to lead the team in Huang Maple Valley. The last time we said goodbye to Yuanwu Kingdom, it was seven or eight years ago." A middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest smiled and greeted the man in yellow next to him.

"It turns out to be Brother Li. I haven't seen him for several years. I didn't expect that Brother Li has already advanced to the middle stage of foundation building. He must be waiting for the later stage." The man in yellow also said with a hand.

Some of the foundation-building monks on the stage were familiar with each other, and they started chatting with each other.

At the same time, groups of monks came out and guarded the ring. It seemed that their cultivation level was at least 12th level of Qi training.

Seeing this scene, the casual cultivators below started making noises.

"This is the first time I've seen more than twenty foundation-building monks. It's really eye-opening."

"The guards are all masters above the 12th level. They are truly worthy of being a cultivating sect."

"Brother, that senior Foundation Architect in white clothes is so beautiful," an eleven or twelve year old boy couldn't help but exclaimed.

The man in black next to him heard this and his expression changed drastically. He quickly covered the young man's mouth and shouted:
"Shut up, Senior Architect, you can speak too."

But the woman in white on the stage heard what the young man said and turned to smile at him.

The boy was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. .

. . .

"Brothers, I think it's almost time. Let's start the conference." A beautiful woman in white stood up and bowed slightly. "That's fine," all the foundation builders agreed.

"Then will my Moon-covering Sect still be in charge this year?" the woman asked again
"Junior sister, our Moon-covering Sect is the number one sect in the Yue Kingdom, so naturally we are in charge." At this time, a white middle-aged man stood up.

He didn't wait for anyone else to say anything and flew straight to the ring in the middle.

Although the other six sect monks looked ugly when they saw this, they didn't say anything. Who made this middle-aged man in white the only late-stage Foundation Establishment player on the field?

In this world of cultivation, strength speaks for itself after all.

Hearing the noise below, the middle-aged man in white summoned the magic power of the foundation-building monk and let out a loud "hum".

The noise died down.All the cultivators were silent.

The middle-aged man was quite satisfied when he saw this.He said loudly:

"Comrades, I am Hu Yuanbi of the Hidden Moon Sect. I will host this conference. The Immortal Ascension Conference will begin today. If you want to participate, you can sign up in front of the arena."

“But I’m sure you’ve heard about the restrictions on registration.”

"First of all, the cultivation level must pass the seventh level of Qi training. Secondly, the age must be under 40 years old. Don't try to get through if you are over this age. We will use bone observation to check the true age of the applicant." At this point , and glanced around with a stern look on his face.

All the casual cultivators moved out of the way, not daring to look at him.

"Those who meet the above two conditions are free to choose the sect you want to sign up for, but you can only sign up for one."

"After registration, we will adopt a two-to-two battle method and select the winner to enter the next round to compete until the last ten people left in front of each sect will be the winner of this conference."

"Okay, you can go and sign up." He waved his hand and flew back to his seat.

Zhou Xun glanced at the people lined up in Yellow Maple Valley. Most of them were monks on the ninth and tenth levels of Qi training. A few were on the 11th and 12th levels, and there were only two people on the 13th level.

Presumably the mainstream group of people who fight today are the monks on the ninth and tenth levels.If you're lucky, you won't encounter high-level monks in the first few rounds.

However, since it is a two-by-two battle, divided into several rounds, it must be decided quickly, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, consume too much mana, and there will be no way to deal with the subsequent fighting.

While thinking, I looked at the number of applicants in Huang Maple Valley, about 120 people.A two-by-two battle will take at least four rounds to determine the final ten.Then strategy is important.

I have to find a monk who is at the ninth level of Qi training to sign up. If I play according to the order of registration, I will be very easy in the first round.

In the next few rounds, you must fight quickly, and it is best to win with one blow while they are not paying attention.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhou Xun started to sign up.He stared at a round-faced young man in blue who was at the ninth level of qi training, and followed him.

This round-faced young man was quite surprised to see a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old standing behind him.

"Little brother, are you also participating in the fight in the Immortal Ascension Conference?"

"Little brother, magic weapons don't have eyes. You are too impatient. You should..."

Then he talked about his experience of participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference.

It turns out that he was also here last time.I was only 16 years old at the time, and I just came to have a look and gain experience.This year, we really started to participate in the fighting and accumulate experience.I will be 36 years old next time.The cultivation level has also gone up, and it is the time to compete vigorously for the spot.

So he chatted with Zhou Xun while lining up, and Zhou Xun was not impatient.She kept chatting with him with a smile.

After a while, it was this round-faced young man’s turn to sign up.
