Chapter 260

In the tenth year of Chen jingzhai’s closed-door cultivation, the fifth Nirvana was activated.

This time, the fire of Nirvana started burning his internal organs and then his immortal bones. It even entered his head. Although it was painful, it was more of a numbing itch.

Chen jingzhai’s spiritual will did not enter the Archean world. Instead, he carefully savored this feeling and quietly cultivated the Golden core chapter to study the fire of Nirvana.

Even though he was the one who created the Nirvana technique, the flames of Nirvana were not under his control. Instead, they were the energy produced by the self-Nirvana of the spiritual God at the acupuncture points. They looked like flames on the surface, but they were actually a form of energy.

This energy contained the contradictory power of destruction and vitality, and it was inextricably related to the Yin Yang seal script of the dragon and phoenix Union. Under its burning, the formation patterns underwent a great change.

Now, the array pattern in Chen jingzhai’s body had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by three thin lines that were intertwined and shining with different lights. These thin lines were rooted in his body like meridians.

He didn’t know if it was good or bad, but the lack of feedback from his physical body was probably not bad. What made him happy was that after the fifth Nirvana, the power of his immortal bones began to activate, and his physical body improved again.

If ordinary cultivators wanted to improve their physical bodies, other than cultivating body-tempering techniques, they would either consume body-strengthening pills, bone-strengthening pills, or refine the blood of demonic beasts and spirit beasts to improve their physical bodies.

However, these methods either had slow progress or side effects. It was simply wishful thinking to break through the physical limits like Chen jingzhai. Even cultivators with special physiques had no hope.

Chen jingzhai was different. With the help of his strong foundation and innate Qi, after the fifth Nirvana, his physical strength had reached the third grade and was still growing, approaching the middle of the third grade.

It was also from this Nirvana that he began.

Chen jingzhai had truly embarked on the path of cultivating the impervious Dao body.

The spiritual God in his aperture was undergoing Nirvana again and again, the innate Qi was washing over him again and again, the seal characters were constantly merging into his aperture, and the power of his immortal bones was gradually being activated. All of these were improving and changing his body.

In the same year, the outer sect competition of the allheaven immortal gate officially began.

According to the statistics, there were a total of 3100 outer sect disciples participating this time. Every one of them was a golden core Daoist master and half of them were early-stage golden core disciples. This was a new record.

The host of the competition was still from the iron sword Pavilion. Elder Wu Qi and the other two elders appeared again. The soul formation elders and perfected cultivators from the other sects were also present to observe the competition. It was obvious that they attached great importance to the competition.

This was the truth. Whether it was the main branch or the branch, training the younger generation of disciples was a major event. There was no lack of disciples worthy of training among the outer disciples, but they lacked the opportunity.

Not to mention the rest, the disciples from the hidden sects had long entered the eyes of the demigod elders. As long as the elders had some ideas, they would not miss a rising star like Zeng wangbei.

However, soul formation elders did not take in disciples easily. Even if they did, they would only take in disciples in name. On the other hand, nascent souls were more willing to take in disciples. Other than completing sect missions, they also considered nurturing their influence.

The mystic realm where the competition was held was called the calamity Mystic realm.

After the secret realm was opened, 3100 outer sect disciples entered the secret realm at the same time through the Jade bangle in their hands. They were randomly scattered in various positions, and those who were unlucky were eliminated immediately after entering.

The disciples who were lucky might survive in the early stages, but they would definitely be discovered later on. This was because the mystic realm would change its geographical form as time passed, and there might even be floods that would drown the entire Mystic realm.

After the outer sect competition started, everyone in Mingyue city could purchase the mirrors issued by the city lord’s estate to watch the competition. Xi Meng bought two pieces, one of which was sent to the Moonview cave abode.

The female cultivators in the Moonview cave abode were not lonely. Everyone was focused on cultivation, so time passed very quickly. However, if they could watch a show, it was also a good leisure.

Thus, Hong Xiu gathered everyone to watch the outer sect competition from within the cave dwelling. Even tu Ruoyan and Ni Hong ‘er couldn’t help but run out and watch the scene in the secret realm.

Demonic cultivators like them didn’t have the chance to watch the competition between the top sects of the human race. This was a good opportunity to see the potential and the means of the disciples of the top sects.

In fact, three thousand outer sect disciples were enough to shock tu Ruoyan for an entire year. It should be known that her demon fox clan could not gather three thousand great demons who could take human form within a hundred years.

If they really gathered all of them, they would be able to fight for supremacy in The Sea of Trees.

Therefore, when he heard Hong Xiu say that they were only a portion of the outer sect disciples of the allheaven immortal gate,

The rest of them were out on missions and hadn’t made it back yet.

And when some outer sect disciples were loyal to the core disciples and did not participate in the great tournament.

It really gave tu Ruoyan an unimaginable impact.

Even Ni Hong ‘er, the rat demon, was so shocked that she was speechless.

However, one must not think that golden cores were not strong or even not important.

These were the foundation of a force, and they were even extremely important forces.

The more golden cores there were, the more people would break through to the perfected Lord realm.

As the number of true Lords increased, the number of new soul formation cultivators would also increase in the future.

Just like a pyramid, the more people at the bottom, the higher the possibility of climbing to the top.

This simple logic was also common among Yao cultivators.

That was why tu Ruoyan understood why the white fox elder had arranged for her to follow Chen jingzhai. She wanted to be the king of the ice blue Silver Fox clan, but she was still far from it.

Hong Xiu and the others didn’t care about tu Ruoyan’s expression. They were watching with great interest.

After staying in the full moon Cave for so many years, it was rare for him to have the opportunity to watch a show.

Moreover, there were people he knew among them, so his mood was naturally different.

There were many disciples from the hidden faction who were participating in the outer sect competition, including familiar faces such as Zeng wangbei, Lu Tao, and Ji Shuanghua. There were also the disciples from the hidden faction who had come to the allheaven immortal sect in the past hundred years.

Unlike Chen jingzhai, Hong Xiu and the others had stayed at the highest heaven sword sect’s chores peak for several years. They knew a lot about the hidden faction disciples. Even if they had never seen them, they had heard of their names.

The biggest difference between the hidden sect disciples and the local disciples was that they had a calm personality and the quality of their cultivation techniques was very high. After all, they were the heaven’s Scriptures of each peak, and their methods were not bad. The most important thing was unity.

Xiang CEng wangbei and the hidden faction disciples formed a team. Even Lu Tao quickly found Ji Shuanghua and the others. These people trusted each other very much and had a tacit understanding to join forces against the enemy.

This scene made Hong Xiu and the others smile, while the others felt embarrassed, angry, and helpless. Although there were not many disciples of the hidden sect, they were a deep-rooted power in the sect.

The main branch, including the iron sword sect, was very tolerant of the hidden branch. Otherwise, Jiang liuyun wouldn’t have been in power in the iron sword Pavilion.

The disciples of the hidden division were regarded as the purest force of the main division, so they had always been viewed with hostility by the branch disciples. This time, the disciples of the hidden division had been besieged by the disciples of the branch division.

Unfortunately, compared to the secret disciples, the branch disciples were not as united as they were. Even though the main family was the clan, there were also conflicts between the clans. As long as the siege was broken through, it would collapse.

In three months ‘time, only 2000 disciples had been eliminated from the mystic realm. None of the hidden faction disciples had left early and remained in the mystic realm. Some of them had even formed small teams with each other.

They began to help each other with a tacit understanding, guiding the branch disciples to hunt and then using the other teams to counterattack. In the fourth month, all the hidden branch disciples entered the top 500. Among them, Zeng wangbei’s performance was outstanding, and his reversal formation had left a deep impression on many people.

However, in the fifth month, Zeng wangbei was still eliminated. Only a small number of mid-stage golden core cultivators were left, and most of them were late-stage golden core cultivators. As an early-stage golden core cultivator, he would not have been able to last this long if he was not an array master. He did not want to delay his teammates, so he left on his own.

In the later stages, even if he was an array master, he would not be of much use. After all, his opponents had all kinds of Dharma Treasures. Even if Zeng wangbei had the help of an array, it would be difficult for him to block the power of the Dharma Treasures.

Fortunately, he had entered the top 200. After he came out of the secret realm, he was directly accepted as an in-name disciple by the soul formation elder of the path of array. This elder was also once at the peak of his career, so Zeng wangbei did not reject him.
