Chapter 489: Those Who Don't Break Through During the Battle Are Key Observation Objects

The Qi Refining stage that could fight to the finals was only one thought away from the Foundation Establishment stage.

Among them, there were many who could have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage a month ago, but they just refused to break through, holding it until now, breaking through on the spot.

The two in the first match were named Chen Chenxi and Su Youdao.

Chen Chenxi broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, thinking victory was in his grasp, not expecting the opposite side to think the same.

"Two juniors have some ideas, just don't know who will win."

The sect elders watched and discussed in low voices, unsure who could think to the end.

These two had the same cultivation, the same foundation, and could turn the tables to the end of the battle.

"It must be my Suoxin Sect disciple who will win." Chen Chenxi's sect was the Suoxin Sect, and the Suoxin Sect Master stood out to support himself.

"Is that so? Is this looking down on my Poxu Sect?" The Poxu Sect Master narrowed his eyes, his tone meaningful. Su Youdao was from the Poxu Sect.

The Suoxin Sect Master smiled like a spring breeze: "Just telling the truth, how can it be called looking down?"

"Then let's make a bet?"

"Bet on what?"

"Bet on who the Great Yu cultivators belong to."

"Okay, then bet, who's afraid of whom!" The two had similar strength, and their sect strength was also similar. They had always looked at each other unpleasantly. If they didn't dare to agree, they would be afraid of being laughed at by the other party often in the future.

The battle of the Qi Refining group was much more intense than expected. According to incomplete statistics, 96% of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining heaven-chosen chose to break through during the battle, raising the average combat power of the Qi Refining group.

The final winner was a core disciple of the Yuqi Sect.

"Record those who didn't break through during the battle in the Qi Refining group; they are key observation objects." Jiang Qun ordered his subordinates, suspecting that these people were ancient cultivators who had scattered their cultivation and started over.

"Yes." Jiang Qun received the message, but couldn't see anyone. It was the Luoshui Guards hiding in the dark.

The Luoshui Guards had received professional training, were proficient in concealment spells, were good at farming, and it was extremely difficult to discover their traces.

When Jiang Qun brought the Luoshui Guards to the Congwendao Sect yesterday, they were caught by the River Spirit.

Jiang Qun nodded with satisfaction, not expecting to have a harvest so quickly.

"Speaking of which, I wanted to visit the seniors yesterday, but I never found them. It's really a pity. I don't know where the seniors were yesterday?" Jiang Qun arrived at the Congwendao Sect before the celebration began.

After the sacrifice ended, he wanted to visit the immortal sect masters, but after walking around, he only found a Luo Hongxia, and Luo Hongxia was chatting with the Sixth Elder. The two were communicating with spiritual sense. Jiang Qun thought the two were flirting, so he didn't dare to disturb them.

The Decayed Fairy naturally substituted herself into the category of "seniors" and said: "I received information temporarily, claiming that Great Yu cultivators would sneak into our Congwendao Sect and destroy the celebration."

Qiu Jinan naturally followed the Decayed Fairy's words and said: "After we received the news from Sect Master Lu, we had a plan, hiding in the treasure box, waiting for the Great Yu cultivators to throw themselves into the net."

Jiang Qun was puzzled. Why didn't the Luoshui Guards receive this information, and why did they have to hide in the treasure box?

Yang Ding on the side continued: "Nephew, you don't know, this treasure box is the supreme treasure of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, with the ability to bewitch people's hearts. High-level cultivators are easily bewitched and enter the box."

"So magical?" Jiang Qun was surprised. He hadn't heard of a supreme treasure with such functions. The five great immortal sects were indeed unfathomable.

"Then why wasn't I bewitched?"

"Your cultivation is too low."

Jiang Qun: "..."

"Then where are the Great Yu cultivators?"

"In the treasure box." Luo Hongxia patted the treasure box, full of resentment. As the value of the treasure box increased, her status rose with the tide. Just now, walking all the way, everyone advised her to protect the box, not to bump or hit it, and what to do if she encountered danger, to call for help loudly, and they would rush over at the first time.

Relying on the box's power.

"All caught?"

Jiang Qun felt ashamed. Just now he was complacent about finding a few cultivators suspected of being ancient cultivators who had scattered their cultivation and started over, not expecting the Congwendao Sect to almost wipe out Great Yu in one nest.

The Decayed Fairy nodded steadily: "Almost, still missing a State Preceptor. According to the confession, he is a half-immortal level powerhouse. I don't know where he is hiding now, but Yun girl said this matter would be handled by her."

Originally hearing that the Great Yu State Preceptor was a half-immortal level powerhouse, Jiang Qun was nervous for a while. Hearing that this matter would be handled by Yun Zhi, his hanging heart was put down again.

Wait, what did Sect Master Lu call Yun Zhi just now?

Jiang Qun's heart trembled. No wonder the Father Emperor asked him to have a good relationship with Sect Master Lu. The relationship between Sect Master Lu and Yun Zhi was much closer than he imagined.

Master Jiesha's hand pinching the Buddha beads paused, looking at the Decayed Fairy and others, rejoicing that he was practicing the closed-mouth Zen.

Good, good, monks don't tell lies.

The competitions in the early-stage Foundation Establishment and mid-stage Foundation Establishment groups also had many heaven-chosen who chose to break through during the battle, but this situation was much less than in the Qi Refining group.

Not all heaven-chosen had cultivated to the Great Perfection of early-stage Foundation Establishment and Great Perfection of mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

The two who won were sects Lu Yang was not familiar with, and the Decayed Fairy hadn't even heard of the sect names.

One was a second-grade sect, and one was a third-grade sect.

The five great immortal sects didn't send people to participate in the first three group competitions. Currently, the lowest cultivation among the immortal sect disciples was late-stage Foundation Establishment. If they had to choose people from the immortal sect to participate in the first three group competitions, then only ingredients could be sent to the stage.

"Did you record those people just now?" Jiang Qun sent a message to the Luoshui Guards behind him, still unable to see the figures of the Luoshui Guards.

"All recorded."

"Go back and check their origins."

Qiu Jinan dodged his body and kindly said to the Luoshui Guards behind Jiang Qun: "Why don't this fellow Daoist appear? You say you are hiding here, but everyone can see you."

"And spiritual sense communication, everyone can hear it too. Why don't you two just talk directly?"

Qiu Jinan and others could hear and see the conversation between Jiang Qun and the Luoshui Guards clearly. You say you two are acting mysterious, what are you pretending for?

The Luoshui Guards appeared helplessly.

Screening suspicious cultivators was mainly judged by combat experience. Those with rich combat experience were highly likely to be ancient cultivators who had scattered their cultivation and started over, with a small probability of great experts pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and the smallest probability was seizing the body.

This reward was too generous, and it was possible for great experts to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.

The first and third situations both belonged to key observation objects.

Great Xia didn't hostile to ancient cultivators. Ancient cultivators scattering their cultivation and starting over wasn't against the law. At most, it was considered a black household, and they would be fined and registered.

It was just that the vast majority of ancient cultivators didn't obey Great Xia's regulations, copying the set of killing and arson from ancient times to Great Xia, which was why Great Xia had to punish these lawless old antiques.

If ancient cultivators were honest after waking up, Great Xia wouldn't care about them.

Actually, Lu Yang was also suspicious. His combat experience was rich, and he could beat up old-school Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators like Master Jiesha, which didn't conform to common sense.

But considering he was Yun Zhi's little junior brother, and Yun Zhi had done similar things, no one suspected that Lu Yang had problems. ===== CHAPTER 490 =====
