Eve of the Seven Peaks Tournament

Tian Buyi sat in the high seat, looking at Jiang Ming, as if only today did he truly recognize his seventh disciple. In the past, he only knew that his seventh disciple had high talent and cultivated at an extremely fast pace, having already cultivated the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the eighth level. He didn't expect that today, his seventh disciple's casual strike would have such power, truly shocking him.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming didn't think it was a big deal. He returned to his seat in a composed manner, his eyes meeting Tian Buyi's.

Seeing this, Tian Buyi immediately stood up, his gaze turning to Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu. His face was so dark that everyone knew without guessing that Tian Buyi was in a terrible mood. How could he be in a good mood when someone dared to injure his disciple and daughter on his Da Zhu Peak? So, he said to the two of them in a cold and sarcastic tone, "Truly good skills, good killing intent. Is this how Cang Song teaches his disciples?"

Seeing Tian Buyi's expression, Qi Hao's face changed drastically. He quickly pulled Lin Jingyu and said, "Junior Brother, quickly apologize."

Lin Jingyu, with his youthful temperament, being only a teenager, frowned and walked up to Zhang Xiaofan, saying, "Xiaofan, I was wrong just now. I said I was testing each other's cultivation, but I didn't measure my strength properly. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hurt you!"

"It's nothing, Jingyu," Zhang Xiaofan said, forgiving Lin Jingyu directly, as he didn't really care in the first place.

Seeing this, Tian Buyi's face changed immediately. Unable to restrain himself, Tian Buyi suddenly took a step forward, a red color flashing across his face, and he was about to attack.

Seeing Tian Buyi like this, Qi Hao's face changed drastically. He knew Tian Buyi's strength. Just as he was about to step forward to explain, Su Ru suddenly stopped Tian Buyi and said kindly, "You're already so old, making a scene with your fellow disciples, what does that look like?"

Seeing Su Ru come out to speak, Qi Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly walked up to Lin Jingyu, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior Uncle Tian is generous, please consider my master's sake and don't hold it against us juniors."

Seeing his master angry, Zhang Xiaofan was afraid that his master would injure his childhood friend Lin Jingyu, so he walked up to Tian Buyi and knelt down, wanting to plead for Lin Jingyu.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan pleading for Lin Jingyu, Jiang Ming sighed and shook his head. He knew that Zhang Xiaofan valued friendship and would rather suffer himself than let those close to him get hurt.

But in such a situation, pleading for a Dragon Head Peak disciple, who was Tian Buyi's mortal enemy, in front of the face-conscious Tian Buyi, wasn't that slapping his face? You are Da Zhu Peak's Tian Buyi's disciple! Especially since Lin Jingyu had attacked Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er before, which had already provoked him. He was about to explode, and you still pleaded for a Dragon Head Peak disciple without considering the situation. Who wouldn't hit you?

Sure enough, seeing that Zhang Xiaofan, this good-for-nothing, was actually pleading for the person who had injured him, Tian Buyi's anger finally became uncontrollable. He directly waved his sleeve, and a huge force sent Zhang Xiaofan flying into the wall, coughing up blood.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan being sent flying by Tian Buyi, Jiang Ming thought, You're courting death! He knew that things definitely wouldn't end so easily.

As expected, seeing Zhang Xiaofan, who was pleading for him, being beaten by Tian Buyi until he coughed up blood, Lin Jingyu cursed Tian Buyi as a "short fatty" without thinking. Tian Buyi was provoked and attacked directly, easily seizing Lin Jingyu's Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand. Then, he naturally taught Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu a lesson, and also tested the specific cultivation levels of Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu.

Jiang Ming watched this scene unfold, not intending to intervene. After all, he also disliked Qi Hao. More importantly, Jiang Ming could see that although Tian Buyi was angry, he always kept a sense of proportion in his attacks, not intending to injure Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, but just wanting to take the opportunity to see the strength of Qi Hao.

In the end, he was the head of Da Zhu Peak, and even more so, an elder. It wasn't honorable to attack juniors in the first place. Lin Jingyu's rudeness just gave Tian Buyi an excuse to attack, and to teach them a lesson along the way.

In the evening, after Qi Hao and the other left, in the inner hall,

Tian Buyi suddenly asked Su Ru, "What do you think Qi Hao has reached?"

Hearing this, Su Ru said, "Judging from his spellcasting, he has at least reached the eighth level of the Jade Clarity Realm."

The corner of Tian Buyi's mouth twitched, wanting to say something but stopping. Su Ru spoke for him, "Among the disciples of Da Zhu Peak, no one except seventh is his opponent."

"What do you think of seventh's casual sword strike?" Tian Buyi suddenly asked Su Ru.

Su Ru said, "Extremely fast, terrifying destructive power, no one below the Shangqing Realm is his opponent."

Tian Buyi looked at Su Ru and remained silent for a long time, saying, "Da Zhu Peak, as it stands, is relying on seventh. Fortunately, Shui Yue sent Jiang Ming here, otherwise..."

Hearing this, Su Ru covered her mouth and smiled, "Then you can't always bicker with your senior sister in the future."

Hearing this, Tian Buyi didn't answer directly, but instead said, "Tonight, take a Great Yellow Pill and go see eighth, lest he pretends to be dead tomorrow, making us have no food to eat."

Seeing Tian Buyi being stubborn, Su Ru smiled without saying a word.

The next day, at noon, in the dining hall,

Song Daren and the others sat down in order, Tian Buyi being the last to arrive.

Sitting down, Tian Buyi scanned everyone with his eyes, then focused his gaze on Zhang Xiaofan, and then said, "You all saw what happened yesterday, right!"

Everyone was silent. Jiang Ming was too embarrassed to praise himself, and the others were too ashamed. Seeing that no one was speaking, Song Daren could only force a smile and say, "Master displayed his divine might and punished two..."

"Bullshit!" Tian Buyi suddenly shouted, his voice shaking the entire area. Everyone fell silent, except for Jiang Ming, who was focused on the delicious food Zhang Xiaofan had made.

Seeing this, Tian Buyi suddenly raged, "You all saw what happened yesterday. Not to mention that Qi Hao, even Lin Jingyu, who was in the same period as Eighth, surpassed most of you. They even ran to Da Zhu Peak to act wildly. Do you know that? If it weren't for Seventh suddenly taking action and delivering a sword strike, the face of Da Zhu Peak would have been completely lost by you."

Song Daren and the others were so frightened by Tian Buyi that they didn't dare to make a sound. They knew their own limitations when it came to talent, so there was nothing they could do. Only Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but look up when he heard Tian Buyi mention Lin Jingyu.

The lunch passed in silence. As Tian Buyi and Su Ru got up and walked out the door,

Tian Buyi's words rang out once again, "From now on, apart from Eighth being responsible for the meals and Seventh cultivating on his own, the rest of you are not allowed to go out for the next year and a half. You will all cultivate in seclusion. Did you hear that?"

And so, time flew by, and Da Zhu Peak was shrouded in an atmosphere of tension. The year and a half passed with everyone diligently cultivating.

During this year and a half, Jiang Ming finally obtained the Taiji Xuanqing Dao Shangqing Realm cultivation method and was finally taught the divine ability "Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art." However, Jiang Ming had never used it even once, so he didn't know how powerful it was.

After all, Jiang Ming also had his own lightning techniques, such as "Emperor Heaven Mad Lightning" and "Thunder God's Wrath," etc., but they were still somewhat different compared to this. "Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art" was, after all, purely using a divine weapon to draw down the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning to attack, and it was also the first Daoist divine ability that Jiang Ming had come into contact with. Jiang Ming vaguely remembered that the original story mentioned that the Qingyun Sect had four great true arts, but when he asked Tian Buyi, Tian Buyi himself only said that they had been lost. Jiang Ming still didn't quite believe it. Such a large Qingyun Sect wouldn't have any backups, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming could only assume that his status hadn't reached that level yet. Otherwise, he could learn any of Qing Yun's Daoist techniques. What kind of posture should he use to defeat his opponents in the upcoming Seven Peaks Tournament? Destroying everything with a smile and a wave of his hand? Or... This is really a headache!
