Daoist Competition

Xun Huaiying traveled along the way, but due to the wild and fiercely surging Gang Qi, even with the protective token talisman, his entire body’s radiance flickered unsteadily like a candle in the wind, causing his progress to be quite slow, far incomparable to the usual speed of sword escape.

Before long, he arrived at the giant Star Stone, when suddenly a Spirit Light flew over, striking the Clear Light emitted by the token talisman, as if warm water entered his embrace, instantly generating a warm feeling throughout his body, causing his tunneling light to speed up almost twice as fast as before.

Knowing this spell light came to guide him, he did not panic and let it lead him, transforming into a light rainbow that plunged into a hole.

Upon entering the Star Stone, everything his eyes could see was nothing but strange stones and chaotic rocks, with countless ravines and gullies within, winding dark caves, twisting and coiling, resembling a Maze Array.

He followed the light, looping around several times, and soon couldn’t discern east, west, south, or north.

Cultivators entering this place, without the guiding and sending of a token talisman, would not only be assailed by the Gang Wind, but the confusing paths akin to a Forbidden Array could easily trap a person to death.

After traversing several miles, a glimpse of light appeared before his eyes, at which moment the Gang Wind suddenly slowed, gradually ceased, he activated the spell, collected the protective token, and then spread his sword light, charging inside, instantly changing the scenery.

This place displayed an entirely different world, with majestic mountains and beautiful waters below, perilous cliffs and walls, soaring waterfalls, murmuring streams and springs; in the sky, numerous Flying Peaks and strange stones hung like stars, innumerable, small ones measuring hundreds of feet, exquisite and jade-like, large ones towering thousands of feet, piercing into the sky, within containing nested mountains and waters, full of Spirit.

This Boundary Domain is extraordinarily vast, and the hiding place of the "Qiantian Junyang Essence" remains unclear, for the elders of the sect speak ambiguously, so Xun Huaiying can only search on his own.

He was not in a hurry to proceed, after observing for a while, he leaped and went to sit on a mountain peak to regulate his breathing and energy.

The place was filled with abundant Spiritual Energy, even surpassing Cave Heaven Blessed Land slightly, within half a stick of incense time, he stood up, brimming with vigor, and after pinpointing a direction, proceeded to fly toward a majestic suspended peak with sword light.

Though his sword escape speed was not as swift as that of Extreme Sword Practitioners within his sect, it was far superior to disciples of other sects, racing between as if flaming embers flying with rays. At this moment, his eyes suddenly focused, noticing a Devil wandering on the peak seemingly searching for something.

His gaze flickered, casually released a sword light at it, exterminating it in an instant, and then continued onward without paying any more attention.

At this time, within another area of the Star Stone, six disciples of the Demon Sect had already gathered together.

Within the mountain belly of this place, there was an abandoned palace, below the peak lush with green leaves, abundant plants and trees, a creek snaked around it, babbling, crystal clear, with numerous colorful flower petals floating upon its waves, presenting a splendid sight.

Feng Haiyang’s expression moved slightly, earlier he had released over three thousand Devils out to search within the Star Stone for the whereabouts of the Junyang Essence, upon finding one extinguished, he immediately sensed it, silently checked, then smiled and said, "Xun Huaiying has arrived, go eight hundred miles west, that’s where he is, Brother Wei Chi, it is your turn to step out."

Wei Chi Yun from Haiyin Sect stood out and saluted, "I shall go and confront the enemy."

Feng Haiyang said solemnly, "Here swordfights win supremacy, Brother Wei Chi’s participation is a crucial part, must not let Xun Huaiying whisk away."

Wei Chi Yun replied expressionlessly, "Even if it costs my life, I will not betray the trust bestowed by you all seniors."

Feng Haiyang watched him for a moment, shook his head and said, "Brother, do not easily speak of death, your talent and endowment are all of Upper Grade, keeping you alive has significant prospects for the future, previously relying on elders of all sects to apply great method upon you was meant to stop Shaoqing Killing Sword, the assurance is considerable, I promise you this one thing, as long as you can hold Xun Huaiying off for three hours, regardless of the outcome here we can retreat freely, no need for concern."

A hint of surprise flickered in Wei Chi Yun’s eyes, slight fluctuation in his demeanor, he stayed silent, offering a solemn bow to Feng Haiyang.

Lu Muqiu from Hun Cheng Sect glanced at the two of them and said, "I’ll escort Brother Wei Chi a bit."

Wei Chi Yun turned back and bowed, "Much obliged, Brother."

Lu Muqiu was a bit stunned, this fellow brother wasn’t usually so courteous, he chuckled, "No need for such courtesy, Brother."

He activated the spell, shouted once, pointed downward, following which a stream of smoke sprayed from his fingertip, a Banner rose from the ground.

This Banner stood as tall as a person, displaying landscape geography, at a glance, it bore a seventy percent resemblance to the scenery within the Star Stone, yet it appeared as inverted reflections in water, both illusory and real, pure and clear waves shimmering, rippling incessantly.
