Chapter 331: Is the Sect True Transmission Nothing More Than This?

High-spirited fighting intent, a magnificent voice.

After being amplified by the vast spiritual energy, it rushed in all directions like a sound wave.

On that high platform, the young man who was bowing his head to study the pill formula slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Kui.

Not the handsome-as-jade look of a cultivator.

Instead, his face was ruddy, almost red, and there was a faint purple pattern between his eyebrows, as if it were burning.

No more nonsense.

He leaped up and landed in the arena.

At that moment, in Chu Kui's eyes, it was as if a ball of fire had fallen from the sky.

Because of Chu Kui's previous voice, everyone in the Dan Valley now had their eyes fixed here.

Including the Jin Dan elder from Longshou Peak.

With a wave of his hand, a huge light curtain expanded around the entire arena.

Everyone realized that this battle might be very intense.

Otherwise, the elder from Longshou Peak would not be so solemn and activate the defensive formation in advance.

Behind the Tao family arena.

Luo Chen watched this scene, his spirit lifted.

He didn't expect that just after coming out, he would witness a duel between top experts.

Moreover, one of them was his old acquaintance, Chu Kui.

Just right!

He also wanted to know how strong Chu Kui really was, given that his usual appearance fee was set so high.

He should have something to show for it, right?

He asked casually: "What is our current ranking?"

Tao Yisheng replied immediately: "With the successive actions of the Patriarch and Senior Brother Qi and the others, we are currently ranked fifth, and the ranking is quite stable. Subsequent challengers are also becoming fewer, mainly facing challenges from great true transmissions ranked lower."

Luo Chen asked curiously: "Then what are the rankings of your Senior Brother and the Yuxuan He family?"

"Senior Brother is currently first!"

"Hmm?" Luo Chen was stunned and said subconsciously: "Isn't he not allowed to bring helpers? Can he still be ranked first?"

Tao Yisheng gave a bitter smile: "But he is the Senior Brother!"

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

But soon, he understood the reason.

Regardless of what mistake Danyangzi made to be demoted from Dao Seed to an ordinary true transmission position.

But he had been the Senior Brother of Qingdan Valley for many years in name as a Dao Seed.

Whether in strength or prestige, it was enough to awe everyone.

Perhaps, because of some interest entanglements, ordinary true transmissions simply didn't want to trouble him.

To take a more conspiratorial view,

this new Dao Seed contention might even be a small punishment from above for Danyangzi, giving him a chance to reform and regain his position.

Of course, the latter speculation was too childish.

But it couldn't stop the people below from thinking this way!

After all, a perfectly good sect heir, the future Sect Master of Qingdan Valley, was inexplicably removed.

What would those ordinary true transmissions think?

Under these circumstances,

ordinary true transmissions naturally dared not make a move.

But the other eight people who had already secured the position of great true transmission would not think so.

Involving the Dao Seed contention, every ranking order was crucial.

How difficult was it to fight from ninth to first in a short time?

No one was willing to try.

Those with high rankings naturally carried the huge advantage of resting and waiting for the exhausted!

Under their command, they had experts specifically recruited.

They could completely use this to consume Danyangzi, knock him down from his high ranking, or consume his spiritual power.

He Yuanqing, who was currently ranked second, had this plan!

In fact, not just him.

Anyone who had the intention to contend for the Dao Seed would treat Danyangzi as their number one enemy.

After Chu Kui was done, it was estimated that others would send people one after another.

Of course.

These were all things for later.

Luo Chen had already focused his attention on the first arena.

Chu Kui made the first move!

The long staff in his hand transformed into a huge staff shadow, smashing down directly.

The vast power of the magic treasure was not concealed in the slightest from the beginning.

Facing Chu Kui's attack, Danyangzi's expression turned stern.

He reached out and swung his sword.

The brilliant sword light, like a waterfall rolling backward, rolled forward, directly shattering the huge staff shadow.

Not only that, but it still had residual power, attacking Chu Kui.

Danyangzi was known as a master of both alchemy and swordsmanship.

Besides his alchemy, which ranked first among the Seven Sons of Qingdan, his sword-controlling technique was also extremely powerful.

Chu Kui dared not underestimate his opponent in the slightest.

He retreated, and the long staff in his hand kept smashing out.

Every attack completely exceeded the intensity of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment attack.

The elder from Longshou Peak, who was in charge of the arena, frowned involuntarily.

This Chu Kui was clearly a rogue cultivator.

The combat power he displayed was not inferior to a sect true transmission at all!

Facing the head of the Foundation Establishment generation of Qingdan Valley, he was fighting back and forth.

Especially!

His own realm was only at the 8th layer of Foundation Establishment!

"Those rogue cultivators who can grow up outside, not to mention their potential, their combat methods are not the least bit weak!"

"It won't be easy for Danyangzi to end the battle quickly."

On the huge, wide arena.

The two figures were no longer as composed as before.

Their battle had gradually intensified.

Many Qingdan Valley disciples who were cheering for Danyangzi couldn't help but be curious about Chu Kui's background.

Where did such an expert come from, who could fight back and forth with the Senior Brother?

Upon learning that he was the leader of the rogue cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City, known as Tian Kuizi, they felt a sense of relief.

In the vast cultivation world, it was reasonable for a few powerful rogue cultivators to emerge.

However, such talent was actually recruited by the Yuxuan He family.

I wonder how much He Yuanqing paid?

Compared to these ordinary people, who cared about the win-loss relationship,

up on the Heavenly Palace,

a group of Jin Dan masters watched the fierce battle below, and their brows couldn't help but furrow.

"This level of attack intensity should not appear in a Foundation Establishment battle."

The speaker was the Sect Master of Qingdan Valley, Qingyunzi!

Here, he had the highest status, but he had been in the Jin Dan realm for the shortest time.

The oldest Jin Dan from Mount Ailao couldn't help but sneer.

"Isn't this because of the proliferation of magic tools and magic treasures?"

"It's hard to say how long these shoddily made low-grade magic treasures can last, but the instantaneous power they erupt with is simply touch-and-injure, hit-and-die for Foundation Establishment true cultivators with low defensive capabilities."

"A few hundred years ago, magic treasures were not as rampant as they are now."

"The heart of Tianfan City..."

Qingyunzi's expression changed slightly, "Senior Brother Yuan, speak carefully!"

The Yuan-surnamed Jin Dan from Mount Ailao snorted coldly and said no more.

This topic seemed to be a taboo.

The others looked at each other, but dared not pick up the conversation.

Only the Jin Dan master from the Hundred Flowers Palace, Food Fragrance Master, laughed enchantingly.

"Since you all know the wolfish ambition of Tianfan City, why bother helping the tyrant?"

As she spoke, her gaze occasionally scanned the faces of the Jin Dan cultivators from the Ice Fortress and Qingdan Valley.

The Despair Fairy remained silent, her expression like ten-thousand-year black ice, unable to melt.

Qingyunzi opened his mouth, then finally gave a bitter smile.

"I can't help myself!"

"Food Fragrance Master, let's focus on the battle of our sect's geniuses!"

Food Fragrance Master curled her lips, "What's there to see? That rogue cultivator junior is clearly holding back and not using his full strength. If you ask me, are the cultivators of your Qingdan Valley just focused on alchemy, and so unable to take a hit?"

Qingyunzi frowned, "What do you mean? Danyangzi also didn't use his full strength, didn't he still have the upper hand?"

"It's just an arena exchange. If it were a life-and-death struggle, who would win is still unknown!" Food Fragrance Master said.

"It's meant to be a friendly match, how could it be a life-and-death struggle?" Qingyunzi shook his head, "That would lose the true meaning of the competition."

Food Fragrance Master smiled lightly, not intending to pay attention.

This level of battle really couldn't pique her interest.

The battle below finally came to an end.

After a hundred rounds of back and forth,

Chu Kui, after taking a sword from Danyangzi head-on, retreated in a slightly disheveled state.

"Brother, stop, I admit defeat!"

Danyangzi looked at him, the sword in his hand clanging, seemingly somewhat unwilling.

"Chu Kui, is it? I've remembered your name!"

After saying this, he flew back to the high platform.

He seized the time to meditate and adjust his breath, not even having time to study the pill formula.

It was clear.

This was just the beginning!

Chu Kui smiled freely, immediately left the formation, and returned to the second high platform.

Just as he landed,

He Yuanqing's dissatisfied voice came over.

"You clearly had energy left, why did you admit defeat so easily?"

Chu Kui spread his hands, looking innocent: "Big boss, you don't really want me to beat him to death in the arena, do you? I'm afraid of being blasted to death by your sect's Jin Dan master with a palm thunder in anger!"

"Pfft, you'd have to be able to do it first." He Yuanqing laughed.

Chu Kui shrugged, "That's it, I don't have that ability, why bother with a lethal blow? Besides, the consumption you asked me to do, I feel I did quite well!"

He Yuanqing nodded.

But he always felt something was wrong.

The other party seemed to be slacking off!

Seeming to notice his employer's dissatisfaction, Chu Kui's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly:

"Of course, if you want me to fight with my life, it's not impossible."

"You get what you pay for!"

"Next, I can still make moves against the other seven great true transmissions, as long as you guarantee I won't be held accountable later, and add another reward, I will definitely satisfy you!"

He Yuanqing was stunned.

He subconsciously asked what other reward the other party wanted.

However, the price he got made his expression turn sour.

"You're going too far, how can you be so greedy."

Chu Kui shook his head, "They are all your closest senior and junior brothers, aren't they worth this price?"

Seeing He Yuanqing's expression turn even sourer, Chu Kui put away his serious look and rubbed his hands.

"Don't be so rigid, why don't you offer a reasonable price, and I'll consider it!"

He Yuanqing opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous.

In his life, he had never seen such a shameless cultivator.

He was already a retainer of his He family, even if it was temporary, he should do his part!

How could he ask for an extra fee to go all out?

Not to mention the conversation on the He family's high platform.

That battle just now had already caused a huge uproar among the Qingdan Valley disciples.

Even though Senior Brother Danyangzi won,

Chu Kui's methods clearly hadn't been fully exhausted.

Are rogue cultivators outside so powerful now?

Ordinary disciples were discussing it, let alone the other seven great true transmissions?

For example, on the Tao family's high platform, Tao Wan also had a solemn expression.

In a situation where she couldn't make a move herself, she feared it would be risky for the three people under her command to face Chu Kui directly.

According to the rules,

every great true transmission could have three people under their command challenge each arena once.

Finally, based on the number of wins and losses and the relationship between each other, a comprehensive ranking would be made.

The calculation method was very complex.

But for cultivators, it was nothing.

Looking at Tao Wan's solemn expression, Tao Daonan's aged voice sounded at the right time.

"No need to worry."

"The He family is currently ranked second, and their only goal is first."

"Next, besides consuming Danyangzi, they will not take the initiative to move against us."

"Besides, even if Chu Kui really wants to fight, I can make a move myself."

When he said this, the ones who breathed a sigh of relief were Qi Lingyun and Tan Xiao.

The pressure Chu Kui gave just now was truly a bit too great.

Tao Wan nodded.

"Our goal is the top three. Besides consuming the Senior Brother, Shangguan Yan and Du Changfeng, who are ranked ahead, are our targets."

"Of course, we must also save some strength to face challenges from those below."

"If things don't go well, I will make a move myself!"

In the back.

Luo Chen watched a battle and heard the conversation of Tao Wan and the others, which they didn't cover up.

A strange thought arose in his heart.

Are sect true transmissions not that strong?

Or is it that Chu Kui is too strong?

Or is it that the combat power of Qingdan Valley cultivators is inherently weak?

To verify these thoughts, he focused on the next few battles.

There were lower-ranked great true transmissions sending people to challenge those above.

There were also people from various families taking turns challenging Danyangzi.

Among them, there was no lack of Tao Wan sending Qi Lingyun to take the initiative to challenge Shangguan Yan's side.

The wins and losses were all in Luo Chen's eyes.

And the combat methods of the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of Qingdan Valley were also undisguised in his eyes.

"These people have high realms, but their combat methods are single."

"They blindly rely on magic treasures they are not proficient in, appearing to be grand and open, but lacking many changes."

"If it were me, combined with top-grade magic tools, talismans, and spells, I could create several opportunities to decide the outcome in a single battle while moving around."

"Strange, it seems sect true transmissions are not as invincible among their peers as rumored?"

Luo Chen thought silently in his heart.

Of course, he wouldn't be arrogant.

After all, a bystander sees clearly.

Sometimes, it looks clear from the outside, but when it's your turn to go on stage, it's hard to say how much of your strength you can exert.

The only thing Luo Chen was sure of was.

Chu Kui indeed had the confidence to charge his employer a high price.

Through the previous battle, he had already seen something.

Chu Kui was not a pure Qi cultivator; he also practiced some body-refining techniques.

Unlike Wang Yuan, who was a pure body refiner.

Instead, he was more like Luo Chen, practicing both magic and body.

Mainly driving magic tools and treasures, with the physical body as a secondary practice.

"No wonder he could see at a glance that I had stepped into the second realm of body refining; I suppose he is also at this level."

"That's right, in the current cultivation world, where are there pure body refiners? Like Wang Yuan, didn't he also practice Qi cultivation techniques for the sake of longevity?"

After confirming Chu Kui's strength,

Luo Chen had no desire to watch the subsequent battles.

This kind of sect competition was limited to fair exchanges.

It was not a life-and-death struggle, so many things couldn't be seen.

Understanding the general level of sect cultivators was enough.

By comparison, it was more important to go back and refine the Spirit-Feeding Pills and Jiangchen Elixir!

In less than two days.

It would be his turn to appear.

Since Chu Kui could use this Dao Seed contention to make a name for himself, why couldn't he, Luo Chen?

With greater fame and higher status,

it would be much more convenient to walk in the cultivation world in the future.

At the very least, when facing the Ice Fortress, he would have greater confidence!

"Eh, where is Brother Luo?"

Tao Yisheng, who was intoxicated by the battles of the sect senior brothers, came back to his senses and found that Luo Chen had left at some point.

Tao Wan in front turned her head and nodded slightly.

No wonder Luo Chen could achieve such accomplishments in alchemy.

Not liking to fight, not liking to scheme and make connections, upholding a heart of innocence—that was the reason for his success!
