Grand Competition of the Three Sects (Part 2)

"Since you are willing, how can I Duobao?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two arrived at the arena one after another, bowed, and immediately began their battle.

Golden Ao Island, the purple and cyan energies clashed fiercely, each collision causing spatial tremors, with laws manifesting and then disappearing.

The tens of thousands of immortals and gods watching below held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two people in the arena.

A man in a black Daoist robe formed a mudra with his hands. A phantom Taiji Diagram diagram slowly rotated in front of him, seemingly moving slowly, yet it neutralized and obliterated all incoming attacks.

This person was none other than the Grand Master Xuandu.

As a direct disciple of Laozi Tzu, her strength should not be underestimated.

The other person radiated a dazzling light, with a River of Ten Thousand Treasures floating behind his head, each shimmering with spiritual light and possessing extraordinary power.

She was none other than Daoist Duobao, the Head Disciple of the Sect of Interception.

"Xuandu, your Taiji Dao is indeed exquisite, your defense is watertight. Unfortunately, you only defend and do not attack, how can you win?"

Duobao let out a long, loud roar, and the River of Ten Thousand Treasures suddenly accelerated, transforming into a dazzling torrent that surged fiercely towards the seemingly flimsy Taiji Diagram.

Xuandu's expression remained calm, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy, and the speed at which his hands formed hand seals suddenly increased.

The Taiji Diagram then shone brightly, and the Yin Yang Two Energies circulated, transforming into a deep vortex that seemed poised to devour the River of Ten Thousand Treasures.

On the high platform, the Three Pure Ones and Chu Feng sat side by side, while other powerful figures watched.

Laozi closed his eyes to rest, seemingly unconcerned about the earth-shattering battle unfolding before him.

Yuanshi's expression was serious, his sharp eyes scrutinizing every detail on the field.

Tongtian wore an undisguised smile, "My disciple has no other skills, but he has a lot of treasures. I hope you'll forgive him, Junior Nephew Xuandu."

Although she spoke modestly, she couldn't hide the pride in her eyes.

At that moment, the battle situation suddenly changed!

The River of Ten Thousand Treasures appears to be swallowed by the Taiji Diagram, but in reality, it contains a hidden mystery.

Just as the torrent was about to be completely obliterated, hundreds of beams of light suddenly split off from the long river, bypassing the Taiji Diagram's frontal defense and piercing Xuandu's main body from all directions.

This move came too suddenly, catching everyone off guard.

Although Xuandu noticed it immediately, the main force of the Taiji Diagram was being restrained, and in the rush, he could only condense a Yin Yang Fish Shield.

The shield shattered instantly, and Xuandu was violently shaken, staggering back three steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

She raised her hand to wipe away the blood, and bowed to Duobao: "Duobao, your supernatural powers are vast; Xuandu is humbled."

Duobao retrieved the River of Ten Thousand Treasures, bowed in return, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind."

In this battle, Duobao, the Head Disciple of the Sect of Interception, narrowly defeated Xuandu of the Human Religion.

Xuandu silently stepped down from the battle platform, returned behind Laozi, and bowed his head, saying, "This disciple is incompetent and has disgraced Master."

Laozi slowly opened his eyes. His calm, still eyes revealed no emotion, and he simply said, "After you return, intensify your cultivation."

A simple sentence, yet it made Xuandu's heart sink. He respectfully replied, "Yes," and then said nothing more.

The competition continued, but the most exciting battle had already come to an end.

As expected, the final result was that the Interception Sect stole the show.

Daoist Duobao stood out from the crowd and won first place.

Grand Master Xuandu came in second.

The Immortal Nanjí, despite his best efforts, only managed to secure third place.

The fourth to eighth spots were all taken by Disciples of the Sect of Interception!

They are Yunxiao, Saint Mother Wudang, Saint Mother Gui Ling, Saint Mother Jin Ling, Bixiao.

The ninth and tenth were Guangchengzi and Chijingzi of the Chan Sect.

Of the top ten, the Interception Sect occupied seven spots!

(PS: Wudang, Jin Ling, Gui Ling were already powerful, and in this book they are set as Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, whose strength surpasses that of the past.)

Yunxiao is strong, but he didn't use his full strength.

Additional setting: When the Sanxiao of Sanxiao combine their powers, they approach the level of Half-step Hunyuan Grand Unity. In a one-on-one fight, Qiongxiao Bixiao are Wudang for Wudang, Jin Ling, and Gui Ling.

This result made Yuanshi's face so dark it was almost dripping with gloom.

She snorted coldly and scolded Guangchengzi and the others standing behind her, "Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

Among my Chan Sect, not a single one can rival the Interception Sect!

Where has all your usual pride gone?

Guangchengzi and the others lowered their heads in shame, not daring to even breathe loudly.

On the other hand, Tongtian laughed loudly, full of vigor and high spirits, and the entire Jade Pure Palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Seeing this, Chu Feng smiled and said to Tongtian, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, congratulations!"

Now that the competition is over, I think we should distribute the rewards to encourage these younger generations to cultivate diligently."

Tongtian was in high spirits and waved his hand generously. "Fellow Daoist Chu is right! However, it is already late today, so why don't you let the disciples of each sect stay on my Golden Ao Island for a while and rest?"

Three days later, we will publicly distribute the rewards in front of the Jade Pure Palace, shall we?

"Good." Both Laozi and Yuanshi had no objection.

Once the agreement was reached, Tongtian immediately summoned Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao Sisters of Sanxiao who were standing by, and instructed them, "Gongming, Yunxiao, go and make arrangements for the disciples of the Human Religion and the Chan Sect. Make sure they are treated well and not neglected."

"Disciples obey your command." Zhao Gongming and the others accepted the order.

Tongtian added a special note, "Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Luohu Hou and Fellow Daoist Nuwa..."

Also, the patriarchs of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and fellow Daoists Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi are all distinguished guests and must be received with the highest level of courtesy, understand?

"Disciple understands!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and dared not be careless in the slightest. They immediately began to guide the powerful figures and disciples of various sects to the immortal abodes that had been prepared in advance to rest.

For a time, Golden Ao Island was bustling with activity, filled with ethereal light, and incredibly lively.

Tongtian, along with Laozi, Yuanshi, and Chu Feng, vanished in a flash, disappearing into the depths of the Jade Pure Palace.

After the four were seated, Chu Feng spoke first, "Fellow Daoists, in my opinion, it would be better if Fellow Daoist Taiqing presided over the distribution of these rewards."

As the head of the Three Pure Ones, she is of high moral character and prestige, making it most fitting for her to present the award.

Tongtian and Yuanshi naturally had no objections.

Laozi was quite pleased with this compliment, and the slight frown on his brow caused by Xuandu's defeat relaxed. He nodded gently. "Agreed."

Although Yuanshi was frustrated, he still had to maintain appearances.

With a wave of her hand, five radiant treasures floated in the air, all of them Top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

"My disciples have been disappointing, but the reward cannot be omitted. These five spiritual treasures will be given to the top five disciples."

Chu Feng smiled and took out two plates of spiritual fruits.

On the plate, the Daoist essence was naturally present, and the aroma was irresistible; it was the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum.

The other plate contained dozens of immortal peaches covered in purple veins, which were Ren Shui Pan Tao.

"The top five will each receive a Yellow Middle Plum, and those ranked sixth through tenth will each receive a Ren Shui Pan Tao," Chu Feng said calmly.

Even Yuanshi and Tongtian showed a hint of satisfaction upon seeing Yellow Middle Plum.

Even they valued such treasures highly.

The treasures the three casually produced were enough to cause a bloodbath in the Primordial World.

Thanks to Chu Feng's mediation, the relationship between the Three Pure Ones has improved considerably.

After all, the top ten all have their own disciples.

These things can also improve the strength of one's beloved disciple.

Three days later, at the Jade Pure Palace Square.
