Chapter 1114: Ji Wuxin, secret struggle

Debt repayment +5

He Pingsheng walked under the wall opposite. Hanging on the wall was an array light membrane, and the handwriting revealed on the light membrane was the rules of the Sword Trial Grand Competition.

The rules of this Sword Trial Grand Competition were similar to the previous Grand Competition in Qiankun Immortal City.

Both prohibited the use of external items!

The difference was that because the number of participants was small, only about a thousand people, the competition here was double-bound.

Name and number were bound!

That is to say, at this very moment, not only was it stipulated that He Pingsheng's number forty-four would face number forty-three, but it also stipulated that He Pingsheng would face a certain cultivator who was number forty-three.

That is to say, once the drawing of lots was completed, the number token could not be changed at will!

If the number token could be changed at will, there would always be some people who could enter the top one hundred through money power.

But after the name and number token were double-bound, such problems wouldn't easily occur.

Not long after, everyone finished drawing lots.

Everyone gathered around Qingyu.

Qingyu gestured and said: "You can wait here!"

"When it's afternoon, all the lists will be publicized here!"

"By then, you will know who your opponent is!"

"Of course, you can also return to your residence first. I have already booked a batch of rooms at the Immortal Guest House opposite; this is the room card, everyone has a separate room!"

Qingyu distributed the cards to everyone.

Everyone decided not to return for the time being and waited here.

People coming to draw lots were endless, and the Elder at the Heavenly Immortal level was responsible for recording non-stop.

Besides Star Emperor City, there were 108 immortal cities in Yu Emperor Star, each with ten participation quotas, which meant 1,080 people, and Star Emperor City also had dozens of quotas.

So the total number of participants was about 1,100.

Most of the people who came to draw lots didn't leave; everyone was basically waiting for the announcement!

Qingyu was also there!

In the afternoon, the announcement finally came out.

He Pingsheng was ranked forty-fourth, so his name was the easiest to find.

"Eh?" Chu Sheng looked at He Pingsheng's name: "Brother He, I seem to have heard of this opponent's name!"

He Pingsheng said: "Hmm... I know!"

In the twenty-second column, it was clearly written: Number forty-three, Ji Wuxin of Star Emperor City, versus number forty-four, He Pingsheng of Qiankun Immortal City.

Ji Wuxin!

Ji Wuxin!

Ji Wuxin!

Remembered.

Isn't this the fellow who snatched the Divine Witch Golden Bone from me back then?

Later, under the chairmanship of Vice City Lord Tianyin, they had a fight in the City Lord's Mansion.

That battle, although He Pingsheng won steadily, the win wasn't easy.

In a word, this Ji Wuxin was a very strong opponent.

"Ji Wuxin?" Qingyu walked to He Pingsheng's side, a complex expression appearing on her face: "He Pingsheng... you're miserable!"

"Originally, I thought you could charge into the top ten of Yu Emperor Star, but now it seems there's no chance!"

"You don't understand Ji Wuxin yet, right?"

He Pingsheng didn't speak, just bowed.

Except for Vice City Lord Tianyin, no one else knew about the competition between him and Ji Wuxin back then.

Only hearing Qingyu continue: "Ji Wuxin is very strong; he is the number one person of the Human Immortal Stage, almost sweeping everyone at the same rank, crushing everyone at the same rank!"

"He is regarded as the person most likely to win this Sword Trial Grand Competition... but I didn't expect you to run into him in the first round!"

"You're miserable!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Is there no hope at all?"

"Hehehe..." Qingyu shook her head decisively: "No!"

"Forget it, let's go!" Qingyu led everyone away from the Martial Arts Garden and then sent everyone to the Immortal Guest House.

After He Pingsheng arrived at the Immortal Guest House, he followed Chu Sheng out of the room and drank immortal tea slowly in the lobby of the Immortal Guest House.

Never expected that He Pingsheng had just sat down when he saw Ji Wuxin bringing three or five Human Immortal Stage disciples and walking up.

Clap...

He buckled the sword in his hand onto the table, then looked at He Pingsheng with a faint smile: "Fellow Daoist He, all is well since we last met... how many years has it been since we last saw each other?"

He naturally recognized He Pingsheng very easily.

He Pingsheng said: "About a hundred years, not long!"

"Impressive!" Ji Wuxin said: "In a mere hundred years, your cultivation has improved from the fifth layer to the tenth layer; it truly makes me look at you with new eyes!"

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense scanned lightly, and the other party's cultivation naturally revealed itself: Human Immortal Stage, eleventh layer!

One layer higher than He Pingsheng.

"So speaking, you are even more impressive than me!" He Pingsheng replied slowly and neither humble nor arrogant.

"Each to their own!" Ji Wuxin said: "I know, Fellow Daoist He, you are no ordinary person. When we fought last time, you had the upper hand!"

"I hope you can still win against me this time!"

"But before that, I really want to see if you have truly reached the tenth layer, or if it's a tenth layer you've disguised!"

Hum hum hum hum hum...

As soon as he finished speaking, a pressure transformed into a storm and blew toward He Pingsheng.

Although it was said that fighting was not allowed in Star Emperor City, this kind of clash of spiritual sense and intent was traceless and generally difficult to detect.

He Pingsheng felt the spiritual sense pressure from the other party, but didn't fight back, nor did he move.

He was still sitting there, drinking tea slowly.

Shoo...

Who would have thought, the other party intensified, and a sharp spiritual sense attack slashed toward He Pingsheng through the air.

Hum hum hum...

He Pingsheng had long been prepared. His spiritual sense instantly condensed into nine purple-red shields in his sea of consciousness. Once the other party's spiritual sense blasted over, it was all blocked by his Nine Shields of the Purple Mansion.

At the same time, not to return a favor is against etiquette!

A Phase-less Big Dipper Nail also flew out from He Pingsheng's sea of consciousness, slamming fiercely toward Ji Wuxin!

Ji Wuxin was a peerless genius and no ordinary person.

After He Pingsheng's spiritual sense nail blasted into his sea of consciousness, it was also blocked by this fellow's spiritual sense defensive method.

However, he wasn't as relaxed as He Pingsheng.

After one round of exchanging blows, Ji Wuxin's face already looked quite pale, and sweat beads were oozing densely from his forehead.

Hoo...

Ji Wuxin took a deep breath, and with a boom, another intent flew from his body.

This wasn't spiritual sense, but a kind of intent.

Sword intent!

Sword intent is formless and shadowless, but once it appears, it makes people terrified.

In the lobby of the Immortal Guest House, countless immortals' immortal swords hummed and rang.

This sound grew louder and louder.

This sword intent wasn't an attack; Ji Wuxin was just showing off to He Pingsheng.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

"My god, who is this?"

"He has already comprehended sword intent at the Human Immortal Stage; my god, such a person, could he comprehend Great Dao laws at the Profound Immortal Stage?"

"Yes!"

"No need to wait until the Golden Immortal Stage, he can comprehend Great Dao laws!"

The surrounding cultivators all looked at Ji Wuxin and praised him sincerely.

Being able to cultivate sword intent at the Human Immortal Stage, although one couldn't say it was unprecedented, was truly a rare phenomenon. ===== CHAPTER 1115 =====
