Grand Competition of the Three Sects (Part 1)
Seeing Tongtian, Tongtian smiled and introduced them:
"Eldest brother, second brother, this is Junior Sister Nuwa, these are the Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan... this is Fellow Luohu Rahu..."
"Wait a moment!"
Yuanshi suddenly interrupted Tongtian.
She pointed at Luohu, her eyes filled with scrutiny and suspicion, and asked in a deep voice:
"Third brother, this fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. Who is this powerful being? And why does he share the same name as that Demon Ancestor?"
Before Tongtian could answer, Luohu's lips curled into a cold smile. He turned around and looked directly at Yuanshi: "I am none other than the Demon Ancestor Luohu."
Yuanshi was struck dumb, his face instantly changing drastically, and he exclaimed, "Luohu? Impossible!"
"The Demon Ancestor Luohu already perished at the hands of my master during the Great Tribulation of Dao and Demon! Who exactly are you, daring to impersonate the Demon Ancestor?"
"Oh?"
Luohu's smile grew increasingly mocking. "Junior, are you questioning me?"
"Hmph! The Demon Ancestor is dead, and the whole world knows it! You fiend, stop playing tricks here!"
The Yuanshi pressure subtly spread out; she absolutely refused to believe that a dead person could be resurrected.
Luohu scoffed, his voice filled with disdain:
"Didn't Hongjun tell you that what she killed back then was merely one of my avatars?"
"You're ridiculous! A sage like yourself, so out of touch with the world!"
Yuanshi's pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.
Tongtian, who was standing to the side, spoke up at the right moment, saying in a calm tone, "Second brother, what Fellow Luohu Hou said is true."
She had already attained the Hunyuan Great Dao, and was immortal and indestructible. How could she possibly perish so easily?
As Tongtian finished speaking, Yuanshi and Laozi instantly understood.
It turns out that only the two brothers were kept in the dark!
In an instant, their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.
However, in any case, Luohu was Chaos Demon God of the same era as his teacher Hongjun, and in terms of seniority, he was indeed their predecessor.
Laozi was the first to react, bowing to Luohu and saying, "So it's Senior Luohu. We have been impolite."
Yuanshi's expression shifted, but he ultimately followed suit and bowed reluctantly.
Luohu nodded lightly, then turned away from them and returned to Chu Feng's side.
Meanwhile, the conflict between the disciples of the two sects has already erupted.
The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan, led by Guangchengzi, looked at the strangely shaped disciples of the Interception Sect with undisguised disdain on their faces.
"Senior sister, look at those creatures with fur and horns, born from moisture and eggs—do they even deserve to be ranked alongside us and discuss the profound Dao of the Xuanmen?"
Yu Ding Zhenren coldly snorted at Chijingzi beside him.
Guangchengzi proudly said, "Master's teachings state that only those with profound roots, virtuous conduct, and abundant blessings are accepted."
Third Uncle, however, teaches without discrimination, accepting all sorts of people as his disciples. He's practically degrading himself and tarnishing the reputation of our Orthodox Xuanmen!
Their voices weren't loud, but everyone present was sharp-eared and sharp-eyed.
How could one not be angry upon hearing such words?
The Disciples of the Sect of Interception were instantly enraged and retorted, "What did you say! How dare you insult my Interception Sect?"
A woman, transformed into a fiery red lion, glared angrily.
"Those scum of the Chan Sect, so arrogant, who do they look down on?"
"If you're not convinced, let's fight!"
The Disciples of the Sect of Interception have always been united, but they also have fiery tempers.
Having been so openly humiliated, he could no longer bear it and immediately prepared to unleash his magic weapon.
Just as tensions were about to rise, a deep voice rang out. "Stop!"
Duobao took a step forward, and a powerful aura instantly suppressed the restlessness in the arena.
She looked at Guangchengzi and the others coldly and said, "Today is the Grand Competition of the Three Sects, do not be so presumptuous here!"
Just then, an even more terrifying pressure from a sage descended from the sky, like countless divine mountains, pressing down on Daoist Duobao!
Yuanshi's icy voice rang out. "Duobao, this is a sparring match between juniors. As an elder, you are using your power to intimidate others. Do you intend to bully the younger generation?"
Under this oppressive force, Duobao's face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled slightly, but he still straightened his spine and remained silent.
Tongtian's face instantly darkened.
"Second brother, stop!"
Laozi calmly spoke, stopping Yuanshi, "Today is the Grand Competition of the Three Sects, a rare and grand event. Don't let trivial matters interfere with the important matters."
Yuanshi snorted coldly and withdrew his oppressive aura.
Tongtian watched this scene without saying a word, and immediately his impression of Laozi changed a lot.
Laozi Tzu looked around and slowly said, "Now that everyone is here, let's not delay. The competition... shall begin now."
"Good!"
The crowd responded, and then they cast a spell to set up a barrier to prevent harm to others.
"The duel begins!"
With a loud shout, Tongtian announced the start of the duel.
A Golden Immortal disciple of the Chan Sect, exuding an imposing aura, flew up.
The Disciples of the Sect of Interception opposite her was slightly inferior in cultivation.
"The Interception Sect are nothing but mediocre! Those creatures with fur and horns, born from moisture and eggs, dare to discuss the Dao with my Chan Sect?"
A Disciples of the Chan Sect slammed down Jade Ruyi, and countless auspicious energies transformed into mountains, crushing his opponent with a deafening roar.
"Puff!"
The Disciples of the Sect of Interception coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backwards out of the arena, his aura weakened.
The Disciples of the Chan Sect Interception Sect the Jie Sect immortals, a smirk playing on his lips.
On the high platform, Yuanshi smiled, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and said to Tong beside him indifferently, "Second brother, your idea of teaching without discrimination has ultimately fallen short."
The Tongtian Sect Master' face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.
The immortals of the Interception Sect all wore angry expressions, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Just then, a hearty laugh rang out from within the Interception Sect's formation.
"Hahaha, what a boastful nephew of the Chan Sect! I, Zhao Gongming, will have a go at you!"
Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed, and Zhao Gongming was already standing in the center of the field.
She was dressed in a brocade Daoist robe, exuding an extraordinary aura and radiating the imposing presence of Daluo Golden Immortal.
Seeing this, the Disciples of the Chan Sect rebuked, "What? You're not convinced? You also want to test your skills against me?"
Instead of being angry, Zhao Gongming laughed. He stretched out his hand Twenty-Four Sea Calming Divine Beads appeared behind his head, radiating Five-Colored Radiance that illuminated the entire Daoist temple.
The heavy, abyss-like aura pressed down on the Disciples of the Chan Sect, instantly turning his face deathly pale.
"Enough with the nonsense, take this!"
Zhao Gongming didn't even make any extra movements; he simply had a thought.
One of the Sea Calming Divine Beads transformed into a stream of light, tearing through the void and carrying the power of a small world, heading straight for the opponent's location.
The Disciples of the Chan Sect was greatly alarmed and hurriedly activated his Ruyi Scepter to defend himself.
However, her magical artifacts were like rubble crashing against a sacred mountain in front of the Sea Calming Divine Beads.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the Jade Ruyi ruyi shattered, and its divine light dissipated.
The power of the Sea Calming Divine Beads remained undiminished. To the disciple's horrified gaze, it gently tapped him, knocking him off the training ground.
Although she was not killed, she lost all face.
Defeat in one move!
The Interception Sect camp erupted in thunderous cheers, their morale soaring!
Yuanshi's smile froze on his face.
"Senior Sister Zhao is awesome!"
"Let the Chan Sect see the might of our Interception Sect!"
Just as Interception Sect immortals of the Jie Sect were celebrating, a figure floated out from the Chan Sect's formation; it was none other than Chijingzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
Holding the Yin Yang Mirror in her hand, she calmly looked at Zhao Gongming: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, your supernatural powers are vast; this humble Daoist has come to learn from you."
Zhao Gongming's expression turned serious, and he abandoned his previous casualness.
Chijingzi was a veteran Daluo Golden Immortal, possessing extraordinary strength.
If I'm careless, it will be dangerous.
Without another word, the two instantly engaged in battle...
