Chapter 854: Chapter 827: Fighting spirit _1
In no time at all, the elders and sect leaders of the top sects all came bearing gifts, expressing their wish to participate in this competition.
"You should be asking the Elders Association, why are you coming to me?" Xu Fan asked.
"We first went to the Elders Association, and then they directed us to ask you," said the elder from the Hehuan Holy Land.
"Alright."
While all the sects were busy choosing their core disciples.
In a certain Immortal City in the headquarters of the Elders Association, there was a person drinking in solitude.
"Old Jian, I can now confirm that it was Junior Brother Xu who repelled the incarnation of the Golden Winged Roc, suppressed the Gold-devouring Tiger, and the Purple Jade Jiaolong."
With a shot of alcohol in him, Ye Xiaoyao forced a smile.
At the time he had recovered his current cultivation level, he and his beloved Junior Brother Xu were so close. He was at the Golden Core Stage and Junior Brother Xu was at the Qi Refining Stage.
But now, although he is a Mahayana Venerable, compared with his Junior Brother Xu, the gap is as wide as between an ant and the dazzling sun.
"If I were you, I would be focusing on tasks now, accumulating resources, and eagerly cultivating to advance to the Invincible Realm," Old Jian lectured inside Ye Xiaoyao's mind.
"If you don't feel like it, you can also go to Hidden Spirit Sect to acknowledge your Junior Brother Xu," Old Jian added.
"There's no way I could recognize him, we can't even reach his level now," Ye Xiaoyao shook his head.
"Becoming a Supreme Being of a world means that there is hope for advancing to Da Luo after ascending to the Immortal world."
"And under my support, ascending to Da Luo is only a matter of time."
"Even though you and your Junior Brother Xu appear poles apart now, your future heights will be the same," Old Jian comforted Ye Xiaoyao in his mind.
"How could they be the same? Junior Brother Xu is both an Artifact Refining Grandmaster and a Supreme Venerable being. Even if he were a Da Luo like me in the future, he would still be stronger than me."
Hearing this, Old Jian rolled his eyes.
Insisting on comparing oneself with others, isn't this just asking for trouble?
"Don't want me to tell some of my past stories to comfort you?"
"There was also a freakishly talented genius like your Junior Brother Xu."
"It was only with the exertion of my power over the eight dimensions that I was able to make friends with him, and then..."
As Old Jian was saying this, he was stopped by Ye Xiaoyao.
"Don't say anymore, I understand what you mean."
"If I don't follow a path of forgetful sentiments, anyone facing this situation would inevitably feel a bit melancholic. Just let me drink in peace," said Ye Xiaoyao with a smile.
"So, are you going to acknowledge your Junior Brother Xu?"
"You know he's an Artifact Refining Grandmaster, and he can certainly help you," Old Jian said.
"No, we've already accumulated enough resources. We'll cultivate to the Invincible Realm and then ascend to the Immortal World."
"I'll make a name for myself in the Immortal World before coming out in front of Junior Brother Xu."
"I was once his Senior Brother. When I appear before him, I must be deserving of the title of Senior Brother." Ye Xiaoyao had a determined look in his eyes and the fire of inner fighting spirit ignited in his heart.
"Good. That's the right attitude~" Though Old Jian didn't think his dimwit of a host could catch up to Xu Fan in the short term, in the long run, as long as he had Old Jian's assistance, surpassing Xu Fan would be quite simple.
After Ye Xiaoyao finished the last drop of liquor in the jug, he got up and headed toward the Task Hall of the Elders Association.
"Advance to the Invincible Realm and ascend to the Immortal World soon!"
With all the major sects eager anticipation, the third battle between Hidden Spirit Sect and the Elders Association began.
The rules remained as the most straightforward Crystal Tower competition with the disciples of both sects fully prepared.
However, the result was against people's expectation. The disciples from the Elders Association won over Hidden Spirit Sect by a slim margin, thus claiming their first victory.
The battle was over, and all of the disciples emerged from the Illusory World.
"I apologize to all my senior and junior fellow apprentices, it was my mistake." Situ Nan lowered her head and said.
From the beginning of the battle, it seemed as if an invisible eye was watching her, all of her actions were known to the disciples of the Elders Association.
Even though she tried all possible means, they were still finally eliminated by the Elders Association.
"It wasn't your fault. There was a disciple on their side who was using his lifespan to predict our every move. He is a major practitioner in the way of divination."
"We were not far from losing this battle." Xiong Li sighed and said.
At this moment, Qian Wanbing suddenly asked, "Pu Tao, what would have been the result if you had been the one giving the commands under those conditions?"
All the disciples became curious at Qian Wanbing's words.
"After calculating, without using my own power, we could defeat them, but half of the Sect Disciples would be damaged." Pu Tao's voice echoed.
"Pu Tao, can I take a look at your command strategy?" Situ Nan suddenly asked.
"Sure."
A Jade Slip fell from the sky and landed in front of Situ Nan.
"This is based on your perspective. Gather information in the first and second stations, then launch a full counter attack in the third battle."
"A large calculation capacity is required, you need an Instrument Spirit of Dao Artifact Level for assistance." Pu Tao suggested.
Situ Nan silently looked at the Jade Slip, her eyes becoming more and more amazed.
"Pu Tao, I really want to take you as my master." Situ Nan said sincerely.
"I could transform myself into a spirit, but unfortunately the Great Master doesn't allow it."
"However, you can apply to me, and the Great Master might specifically recommend a suitable cultivation technique and divine abilities for you." Pu Tao said.
"Really? I'll apply now." Situ Nan said.
"Your application has been received, please wait for the follow-up result." Pu Tao disappeared after finishing the sentence.
"All of the points this time were taken away by the disciples of the Elder Council, and all the treasures listed on the reward list, which we had been salivating over, have nothing to do with us now." Xiong Li said, looking at everyone.
"I hope all of you remember the shame we suffered today. I will apply to the Great Master to fight with the disciples of the Elder Council once more, to wash away our previous shame."
"To wash away our previous shame!"
All the disciples who participated in the competition had a firm look in their eyes.
"There's no need to apply. In one year, a league competition will be held. All the top Sects in the entire Cultivation World will participate."
"There are 72 Sect Sacred Lands in total. Whether or not we can wash away the previous shame will depend on you."
The voice of Xu Fan echoed in the sky, igniting the fighting spirit of all the disciples who had just experienced failure.
"Everyone follow me to train. If anyone's combat power doesn't increase by 10% in this year, I'll break your bones." Xiong Li said, his eyes glowing with fury.
"Looking at their fighting spirit, I want to participate too." Xu Gang said enviously.
"Senior Brother, if you go, it won't be meaningful."
"The small Illusory World isn't big enough for your full power." Wang Xiangchi said on the side.
"It's a pity that such a good divine ability of mine was banned. It seems that I need to think of other abilities that can be used normally." Zhou Kailing said regretfully.
"Fifth Brother, you can try to calculate a large scale positioning divine ability. As long as you attach it, it can emit a strange aura or smell for positioning." Li Xuandao suggested on the side.
His presence in the Sect was very low. If it wasn't for the master who called him out, he would still be cultivating in his residence.
Hearing Li Xuandao's suggestion, Zhou Kailing's eyes brightened.
