Chapter 61

On the eve of the beginning of spring, the spring of the Qingyun world did not arrive as expected.

On the contrary, a sudden heavy snow fell, turning the land white for a thousand miles.

In Youzhou, northern Yunzhou, and the entire Fengzhou, there were starving people frozen to death in the soil ditches by the roadside, and finally, they were hastily collected by the government and thrown into the mass grave.

During this time, the days of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples were exceptionally peaceful and leisurely.

This leisure partly came from Ji You's departure; the Immortal Sect, which was full of family disciples, finally didn't have this outlier who came from the countryside but was brilliant.

On the other hand, it was because Chu He had entered the Profound Understanding Realm and even went to the Inner Gate to tour the mountains yesterday.

Regarding this matter, the students in the academy were all discussing it, thinking that the Inner Court quota had been decided like this?

But the autumn competition had not yet started, which was against the rules.

However, as Chu He arrived gracefully at the Enlightenment Field, such voices stopped quickly, as if they had never existed.

They had been in the academy for half a year and had already figured out each other's temperaments, knowing that Chu He was very vengeful and there were many things that could not be mentioned.

For example, sensing the Little Little Tian Shu, and then there was the name Ji You.

However, as a piece of news came from the ruins, the Outer Court still set off a monstrous discussion.

"Have you heard? There was a conflict in the ruins, and Spirit Sword Mountain joined forces with the Dao Seeking Sect to besiege my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan."

"Eh, my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan has never had any grievances with Spirit Sword Mountain; why would it be like this?"

"It is said that Ding Shijie Pei and the others brought many spirit stones before entering the mountains, and the spiritual energy operation in the ruins was not smooth, so they were coveted in front of the central immortal mountain."

"What was the result?"

"Naturally, we won."

"Damn, as expected of my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, it is so fierce!"

"It is said that a perfection of the Lower Three Realms from our academy arrived suddenly, turned the battle situation with seven swords alone, and almost killed a Merging with the Dao sword cultivator of Spirit Sword Mountain!"

"?"

The immortal fate in the ruins, especially the immortal light in the central immortal mountain, has always been provoking the nerves of the seven great Immortal Sects and countless families.

Such as the Lu family in Yunzhou, the Du family in Liangzhou, the Bai family in Youzhou, etc., all had experts in the clan and foreign surnames secretly sneaking into the mountains.

These family descendants of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan didn't have to take risks in it, but the news was exceptionally well-informed.

At this time, in the Enlightenment Field of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, all the students who were enlightened were silent after hearing "perfection of the Lower Three Realms", "seven swords alone", and "almost killed a Merging with the Dao".

Coincidentally, they all remembered a name that was almost forgotten.

But after thinking carefully, they shook their heads with a light laugh.

But the news that came subsequently confirmed what everyone thought, so it set off a huge uproar.

Ji You made a move in the ruins, seven swords alone, almost killed a Merging with the Dao sword cultivator of Spirit Sword Mountain...

During this time, the students in the Enlightenment Field all looked forward, at Chu He, who was wearing a purple brocade robe and had just returned from the Inner Court yesterday.

"Almost killed a Merging with the Dao? Hehe."

"Don't you think that the moisture mixed in the word 'almost' is bigger than the Xuan Sea?"

Chu He said coldly, instantly making everyone speechless.

Yes, it's not really killing a Merging with the Dao, but almost; this is a huge difference.

The word "almost" is similar to "almost", but how much it is off is unknown to anyone.

"Perhaps it was Ding Shijie Wen and Senior Brother Ban of the Inner Court who beat the person half to death, and called him to clean up the mess, but he still couldn't kill the opponent, but it was exaggerated as 'almost'."

"My Heavenly Tian Shuyuan ultimately has to care about the sect's prestige, and it is normal to exaggerate a bit on him after being besieged."

"So that's how it is..."

In the Outer Court Enlightenment Field, as Chu He seized the word "almost" to make a fuss, the surrounding family disciples began to constantly echo.

Lu Lu Qingqiu sat not far away, and after hearing this, she looked at Lou Lou Siyi and Sun Sun Zhiqiao, and also felt that Chu He's words were reasonable.

Although the baleful Qi in the ruins is everywhere, it will suppress spiritual energy, but Ji You will also be suppressed.

Killing across two realms is really too exaggerated; there has never been such a thing in the entire Qingyun world.

However, just as the discussion was about to end, two figures suddenly walked on the White Jade Bridge of the Bi Shui Lake, one in front and one behind.

Everyone looked carefully and discovered that these two people were Chu He's instructor Ding Ang and Du Zhu's instructor Wu Kai.

They were in a hurry, with solemn expressions, and came to the Enlightenment Field separately, whispering to Chu He and Du Zhu.

Soon, Chu He's expression became extremely ugly, a trace of disbelief appeared in his eyes, and then he followed Ding Jiaoxi to the Trial Sword Forest.

Seeing this scene, the students in the Enlightenment Field were all a bit confused, not understanding what had happened.

The Trial Sword Forest is a place for martial arts practice, which is something everyone knows.

But among so many students in the Outer Court, the only one who went there was Ji You.

Lu Lu Qingqiu also felt puzzled, but before she could think carefully, she saw her instructor Ma Ma Zhiyuan also come to the field, his expression although better than Ding Jiaoxi and Wang Jiaoxi Wu, was also solemn.

"Wang Jiaoxi, why are you here?"

Ma Ma Zhiyuan spoke upon hearing this: "Lu Qingqiu, do you... still want to fight for the Inner Court quota?"

Lu Lu Qingqiu was stunned by the question, pondered for a long while, and then shook her head.

She had indeed once aimed for the Inner Court when she entered the academy, but after the three events of Ji You sensing the Little Little Tian Shu, Chu He breaking into Profound Understanding, and Du Zhu catching up from behind, she also recognized reality.

Talent is something that never reasons.

Although she currently has four rays of mysterious light, she is still far from the Profound Understanding Realm and has stopped having too many fantasies.

Ma Ma Zhiyuan nodded upon seeing this: "Since this is the case, then you don't have to go to the Trial Sword Forest."

"Wang Jiaoxi, what happened? Why go to the Trial Sword Forest?"

Ma Ma Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back: "I originally wanted to tell you that if you still have the heart to fight for the Inner Court quota, it is best to dual cultivate martial arts now. After all, who will be chosen in the end still depends on the competition results."

Lu Lu Qingqiu and the surrounding disciples were all full of confusion: "Even if you want to fight for the Inner Court quota, you don't necessarily have to dual cultivate martial arts, right?"

"Could it be that you haven't heard that Ji You almost killed a Merging with the Dao sword cultivator of Spirit Sword Mountain in the ruins?"

"But that Merging with the Dao didn't die. The word 'almost' has too much moisture; isn't it the same no matter how you say it?"

Ma Ma Zhiyuan was silent for a long while: "It didn't die not because it couldn't be killed, but because Ji You didn't know why he showed mercy and left that Merging with the Dao a life."

After the words fell, the Outer Court disciples were stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

That's right, the word "almost" is ultimately the meaning of being off by a bit, and it makes sense no matter how you explain it.

But they had discussed it for so long, but never thought that the word "almost" actually meant showing mercy.

A perfection of the Lower Three Realms showing mercy to a Merging with the Dao expert, this feeling of looking down from a high position made countless people's scalps numb instantly.

And at this moment, Lu Lu Qingqiu and others looked at the Trial Sword Forest and suddenly understood why Chu He and Du Zhu were brought into the Trial Sword Forest.

When Ji You was written into the scouting list, countless people felt that he would lose the Inner Court quota and return to mediocrity, and more seriously, they said he might die in the ruins.

But until the moment he spared a Merging with the Dao a dog's life, everyone realized that things were never like this.

The final selection for the Inner Court still has a competition. Even if Chu He entered Profound Understanding first, everyone still thinks that he will lose miserably when he meets Ji You.
