Chapter 44: Inner Sect Grand Competition
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The inner sect grand competition was a great opportunity for all of the disciples in the inner sect.
In the inner sect, there were actually numerous disciples who had only reached the perfected level of qi refinement stage and yet to reach the foundation establishment stage.
Even so, there were many people as powerful as Chen Qingke among the foundation establishment cultivators!
In the inner sect, several elders had their own disciples that they themselves valued. After all, among the inner sect disciples, there was no lack of talented people.
All kinds of different factors came together to make the inner sect grand competition a very competitive event!
After Chen Qingke came out of seclusion to visit Li Ming, she quickly returned to her own residence to prepare for the incoming competition.
There was not much time left before the competition began.
They were all participants, so they naturally had to prepare well for the competition.
But unlike the others, Li Ming was actually not in much of a hurry.
He was of the belief that what would come would come, and there was no need to be in a hurry. He believed that he simply always had to do his best in what he could.
Since he had already attained the martial dao foundation establishment and had even acquired two entries related to qi cultivation, his talent in qi cultivation had risen significantly compared to the past.
Moreover, he was now already at the eleventh level of the qi refinement stage.
Of course, it was almost completely impossible for Li Ming to reach the twelfth level and reach the perfected level of Qi Refinement in the remaining time before the competition.
Previously, it was only because of all the supplements, aids, and preparations that he had made that he was able to advance one whole level in just a day.
Additionally, that was only for going from the tenth to the eleventh level of the qi refinement stage. It was comparatively more difficult for him to reach the perfected level from the eleventh level.
So what did he plan to do now?
With only one day left, Li Ming naturally wanted to continue refining his body!
It was not easy for him to attain the first level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, so he naturally had to continue working on it.
For the entire day, Li Ming trained arduously.
He constantly guided the heavenly flames from the sky to temper his body.
The golden crow in his dantian grew stronger and stronger!
Once he reached the third level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, Li Ming could be considered to have truly stabilized his body-tempering cultivation at the early levels of the foundation establishment stage!
At the same time, he would also possess the Golden Crow True Fire by then!
A day passed quickly.
After a day of cultivation, Li Ming’s Golden Crow Body Tempering had finally stabilized at the first level.
He calculated carefully.
In terms of body refinement, his cultivation was at the martial dao foundation establishment, he had the Five Divine Fists, Wind Lightning Steps, a divine soul-type attack.
It might not seem like he had many tricks up his sleeve, but Li Ming was a martial dao foundation establishment cultivator, so there was naturally a gap between him and qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators.
The following day.
Finally, the bell for the Divine Will Sect’s inner sect grand competition rang throughout the sect!
As the most watched competition of the year, it was extraordinarily lively!
Inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples, and even core disciples would come to spectate the competition!
The winners of this competition could become core disciples of the sect!
As their status rose, the more resources they would receive.
A rise in status could be said to be the same as when a fish leaped over the dragon gate!
At this moment, the competition was about to begin.
All the disciples had gathered.
In this competition, there were a number of disciples who were at the perfected level of the qi refinement stage.
There was a total of 25 of them!
Of course, among these 25, while some were still in the qi refinement stage, some were already at the foundation establishment stage!
Among all the participants, only the top 5 would be able to enter the core area of the Divine Will Sect and become a core disciple!
At the Divine Will Sect’s plaza.
The elevated arena was the center of attention!
Those who managed the inner sect, as well as several elders from the outer sect, appeared at the plaza one after the other.
When the great elder walked out, his gaze was cold and his brows were heroic.
“The Divine Will Sect’s inner sect grand competition shall now officially begin!”
“All participating disciples, draw lots for the competition.”
The great elder waved his hand, and in an instant, jade tokens appeared in front of all the disciples.
There were different numbers on each of the jade plates.
Those with the same number would have to battle each other.
The inner sect disciples would go up to the arena to fight according to their numbers.
Li Ming looked at the jade token in his hand. It had the number 18.
It was obvious that it would be quite some time before it was his turn to fight.
Chen Qingke, on the other hand, was the first to fight.
“It’s Junior Sister Chen!”
“She’s a prodigy of our inner sect! Now that she’s in the foundation establishment stage, she must have become incomparably powerful!”
“That’s right! However, Junior Martial Sister Chen’s opponent isn’t simple either.”
“That Huang Yansong is the disciple of the elder of the scripture depository. He’s also in the foundation establishment stage and has many techniques!”
There was a lot of discussion between the spectators.
Li Ming raised his head and took a look at the stage.
Facing Huang Yansong, who was also in the foundation establishment stage and had many tricks up his sleeve, Chen Qingke had a serious expression on her face.
Compared to battles between those at the foundation establishment, those between qi refinement cultivators were relatively more straightforward!
“Junior sister, do excuse me.”
On the arena, Huang Yansong cupped his hands, and then he suddenly burst forth!
The sword in his hand stirred up tens of thousands of spiritual qi. Suddenly, it was as if ten thousand horses were galloping. The spiritual qi and sword qi interlaced, forming a stampede of horses that rushed straight at Chen Qingke!
“Hiss!”
“Senior Brother Huang really doesn’t know how to be gentle with women!” “This is a high-grade yellow-tier sword art!”
“That’s right! This high-grade yellow-tier cultivation technique is the highest level that we inner sect disciples can come into contact with!”
The cultivation techniques of cultivators, regardless of what purpose they served, were all divided into categories.
Cultivation techniques are divided into four different tiers, namely the yellow, mystic, earth, and heaven tiers.
Each of these tiers are further divided into the low, mid, and high grades.
The sword art in of itself was already very powerful!
With the addition of it being performed by a foundation establishment cultivator, the power that was unleashed was even greater!
The sword qi rampaged like ten thousand horses, charging forward with unstoppable momentum!
There was a serious expression on Chen Qingke’s face and she did not panic when faced with the powerful attack coming straight at her.
Facing the attack, she raised her hand and clenched it in the air. Instantly, spiritual qi burst out from her palm, gathering the surrounding spiritual qi. A large bronze cauldron condensed on her hand!
Cauldron Transformation Art!
It was a mid-grade yellow-tier technique!
Although it was a yellow-tier technique, the Cauldron Transformation Art was unique. The denser and more abundant the cultivator’s spiritual qi was, the more spiritual qi could be condensed to increase power of the cauldron!
An elder once said that the Cauldron Transformation Art could be considered an extremely powerful technique even in the foundation establishment and golden core stages!
The bronze cauldron descended brazenly, and the galloping horses condensed from the sword qi was instantly obliterated!
Chen Qingke reacted quickly. Right after she broke the attack coming at her, she jumped up and shook the magical treasure in her hand. The sword flew out like silk and directly trapped Huang Yansong, sending him out of the arena!
Chen Qingke won the first round!
It was clean and fast, without any sloppiness. In fact, with just one move, Huang Yansong had been defeated!
It could only be said that in battle, flexibility was far more important than strength.
In her previous trial, Chen Qingke had also worked together with Li Ming. S had learned from back then and that was why she did not choose to fight head-on and used a more effective method to obtain victory.
“Senior Brother! I won.
Chen Qingke came down and skipped to Li Ming’s side.
From the looks of it, she had not consumed much energy.
The Cauldron Transformation Art was indeed a very good magical art.
Li Ming had his own thoughts.
After all, he was already at the eleventh level of Qi Refinement. He had neve thought much of qi refinement magical arts. But now, he found this Cauldrl Transformation Art to be pretty good.
The upper limit was high, while the threshold was low.
It was indeed a very good skill!
“Congratulations, junior sister. It seems like you won’t have much of a prob in this competition.”
Li Ming said with a smile. With Chen Qingke’s strength, she was indeed ran at the top among her peers in the foundation establishment stage.
However, just as Li Ming finished speaking, Chen Qingke also said, “Sen• Brother, I believe that you won’t have any problems either! Let’s both en inner court and cultivate together!”
As soon as Chen Qingke said that, Li Ming instantly felt the hateful gaze the other disciples!
