Chapter 54 - Compet.i.tion among the Seven Supreme SectsPingyang City, Central Plaza!
Compared to the way Ouyang Aoxue had appeared on stage earlier, the white-haired old man"s skills were indeed much better. Not only did it cause the audience to exclaim in astonishment, it also caused Yu Saiqi"s eyes to reveal a hint of amazement.
However, a trace of disdain flashed across Yu Haoran"s eyes!
As long as one"s cultivation could break through the Wu Zong, their soul would control their Origin Energy and fleshly body, and they would be able to reach a level of flying in the air.
To be able to come to a sect in Pingyang City to select disciples, no matter if it was a top sect or a first-rate or second-rate sect, the leader"s cultivation would be at least Wu Zong.
In other words, they were also able to accomplish the same feat that the white-haired old man had just used to travel through the void.
Glancing coldly at the white-haired elder, Ouyang Aoxue unrestrainedly berated him: "Liu Guangyuan, you cannot be too hypocritical!"
Then, she turned her head, and her cold expression instantly turned into gentleness, and she said this straightforwardly.
"Yu Saiqi, this old fellow is called Liu Guangyuan, and she comes from the Hollow Jade Temple, one of the top seven sects.
"Yu Saiqi, I can tell you this clearly. In the beginning, his evaluation of you was very low, and she said that even if you could become a disciple of Hollow Jade Temple, you would at most be an ordinary disciple who enjoyed the treatment of being an inner disciple."
"Now, after seeing you displaying that purple light and possessing the potential of the Martial Emperor, you have become pa.s.sionate again. Facing this kind of false and treacherous villain, do you dare to believe in any of his promises!?"
"Ouyang Aoxue, could it be that you, Bing Xuegong, want to start a war with our Hollow Jade Temple?"
When Liu Guangyuan, whose face was originally filled with a kind smile, heard the truth, his expression instantly darkened and he directly used the sect"s great battle as an excuse to threaten Ouyang Aoxue.
Actually, Liu Guangyuan was forced to do so!
The Triennial Sect Selection Compet.i.tion was like a carp jumping over a dragon gate for all partic.i.p.ants. It was like a glorious opportunity for the powerhouses behind the partic.i.p.ants to bring glory to their ancestors!
But for deacons like them who were in charge of challenging disciples, not only was it a chance to raise their status and increase their strength in their respective sects, it was also a chance for them to fiercely compete with each other.
It was just the first step to challenge the disciples. When they brought these disciples back to the sect, there would also be a ranking compet.i.tion that would involve both the disciples" fate and the strength of each of the different elements.
If he had directly chosen the disciples with the best potential when he first challenged the disciples, then when he returned to the sect, based on the good impression he had of the disciples, he would be able to bypa.s.s the Ranking Compet.i.tion and directly accept the disciples with the best potential into their line. This would not only enhance the strength of his line, it would also have an unimaginable benefit for him.
If, during the initial selection, he was able to choose a disciple who possessed the potential of a demon level, then not only would he receive the most substantial of rewards, his reputation and status would also be greatly increased.
More importantly, he could suppress the other deacons in the stronghold!
Yu Saiqi was a disciple who possessed the potential of a monster, and was also a great fortuitous encounter for him, Liu Guangyuan, in the Hollow Jade Temple, so how could he give up so easily!
That was why he didn"t hesitate to move out of the great battle of the sect, in order to threaten Ouyang Aoxue"s voluntary retreat.
Senior brother Liu, you are just a deacon in charge of sect affairs in the Hollow Jade Temple. You are not the head of the three palaces nor are you an elder with actual authority.
Just as Ouyang Aoxue was at a loss as to how to rebut Liu Guangyuan, on the high platform, the five warriors who were slow to react also reacted.
As for the Qi warrior who had always admired Ouyang Aoxue, she rushed towards Yu Saiqi as she helped her beloved one out.
"Qi Wei, what do you mean?" Seeing that Qi Wei had directly exposed his background, Liu Guangyuan asked back in a very displeased manner.
"Senior-apprentice Brother Liu, Senior-apprentice Brother Gu, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, Junior-apprentice Brother Lian, Junior-apprentice Brother Ren, Junior-apprentice Sister Ouyang, please listen to me!" Facing Liu Guangyuan"s unhappy retort, Qi Wei did not get angry nor did he directly retaliate. Instead, he spoke to the other experts from the other big sects who were charging over.
"Disciples with monstrous potential, to the deacons who are responsible for challenging disciples like us, what does that represent? I presume everyone is clear in their hearts that both you and I want to take this little girl as our disciple."
"However, you and I are deacons of the sect. Going out on missions represents the dignity of the sect. If we are like those small sects, we can fight and kill at any time. Not only do we have low quality, we would also harm the sect"s reputation."
"Brother Qi, what do you mean by that?" Brother Qi, what do you mean? Looking at Qi Wei who was talking nonstop, the Sky Cloud Martial School Ranker surnamed Ren said impatiently.
"I think, how about we split up and ask the little girl for the greatest amount of sincerity we can give and let her choose her own sect, how about that?" Qi Wei said with a smile.
"This …!"
After hearing Qi Wei"s suggestion, the six top powerhouses all fell into deep thought. Only Liu Guangyuan who came from Hollow Jade Temple looked a little unhappy.
After all, Ouyang Aoxue"s revelation had left a bad impression on Yu Saiqi. If the conditions were similar, then she would benefit.
"Sure!" Considering Bing Xuegong"s unique advantage, Ouyang Aoxue was the first to agree.
"Alright!"
"That"s fine too!"
"We can give it a try!"
With Ouyang Aoxue agreeing first, the other four sects that had been carefully considering finally agreed to Qi Wei"s suggestion. This made Qi Wei, who had a calm expression, unable to hold back from secretly rejoicing in his heart.
Unlike the other six people, when Qi Wei received the mission to challenge disciples, the mastermind of his faction had already informed him about it.
If they met a disciple with peerless talent or monstrous potential, other than the sect"s conditions, they could also privately use a portion of the authority belonging to their line.
For example: the promotion of a disciple"s status, the treatment of a disciple, etc.
It was precisely because of this confidence that Qi Wei dared to offer such a condition.
"Yu Saiqi, your current cultivation is at the peak of Grade Nine Martial Disciple, according to the sect"s request, you can only start from being a service disciple for the time being, but I can make the decision now, as long as you are willing to join Bing Xuegong, you can start from an elite disciple, and directly enjoy the treatment of being a core disciple."
"At the same time, I can make the decision to directly become the disciple of any of the inner sect elders after you enter Bing Xuegong. Once you break through to Martial King, you can then become the true disciple of that elder."
His temperament was ice-cold, but Ouyang Aoxue, who had an anxious personality, was the first to announce his conditions, causing the other six Rankers to be unable to hold back their joy.
Whoever stated their conditions first, would be disclosing their trump cards. This was a taboo for soldiers, but from this, one could tell how important Ouyang Aoxue was to them.
"Yu Saiqi, as long as you are willing to join our Hollow Jade Temple, not only can you start from being an elite disciple, you can also directly enjoy the best treatment as a core disciple, and can even directly enter the tutelage of Heavenly Palace"s Mistress. In the future, you can become a legacy disciple of Heavenly Palace"s Palace Master, and even possibly become a legacy disciple of Heavenly Palace"s Palace Mistress!"
"At the same time, our Hollow Jade Temple has three secret realms. These three secret realms are for the body, elemental energy, and soul respectively. These three secret realms can increase the cultivation speed of those with monstrous potential by more than ten times."
"If you are willing to become a disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple, then I can make the decision. Without paying any price, you can use it once for free."
After hearing the conditions promised by Liu Guangyuan, the expressions of the other six sect experts couldn"t help but change.
