Gathering at the Questioning Platform! The Seven Peaks Grand Competition Begins!
Earlier, when he participated in the annual competition of the Xuanyuan family at the ancestral land of the Xuanyuan family, he had defeated beings who had passed the Transcendent Tribulation.
Even Xuanyuan Long, the number one genius of the Xuanyuan Clan, who possessed Immortal Artifact and whose cultivation had reached the Mid Tribulation Transcendence, was defeated by him.
"I'm determined to win first place in the Seven Peaks Grand Competition!"
Chen Changqing muttered to himself, his eyes filled with unwavering determination, brimming with confidence for tomorrow's Seven Peaks Grand Competition.
With his current cultivation level and numerous abilities, he is already able to contend with Mid Tribulation Transcendence Transcending being.
Moreover, Chen Changqing still had a backup plan.
He's been Idle Cultivation for a long time, but hasn't yet extracted any results.
In Chen Changqing's view, if he were to extract it, his cultivation level would definitely break through to the Tribulation Transcendence level in one fell swoop.
Once he breaks through to the Tribulation Transcendence, he will be absolutely invincible among those of the same level.
Just as Chen Changqing was stunned, a graceful figure landed directly in front of Chen Changqing.
The person who arrived was none other than Xiaoqian.
"Oh?"
Upon seeing Xiaoqian, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised and asked:
What brings you here?
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqian stepped forward, bowed slightly to Chen Changqing, and replied:
"Young Master."
"Tomorrow is the Seven Peaks Grand Competition of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land. It's sure to be a lively event."
"I..."
At this point, Xiaoqian hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing spoke up:
"Speak freely!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqian took a deep breath before replying:
"Young master, Xiaoqian also wants to go to the event tomorrow to cheer you on!"
"I hope you will grant my request, young master!"
As she said this, Xiaoqian stared intently at Chen Changqing, her eyes full of pleading.
Back in that small town, Xiaoqian had been cultivating according to the Ghost Cultivator Cultivation Method that Chen Changqing had given her.
Subsequently, she did many good deeds for the townspeople, to the point that they revered her as a deity and were extremely grateful to her.
That is why, although Xiaoqian is Ghost Cultivator, she has accumulated a great deal of merit and vows.
However, it was precisely because of the Merit Power that the monks of the Great Thunder Sound Temple came to covet it.
They not only slaughtered all the people in the town, but also captured Xiaoqian, intending to forcibly seize her will power.
Fortunately, Chen Changqing arrived in time and killed all the monks from the Great Thunder Sound Temple, thus saving Xiaoqian.
After that, Xiaoqian followed Chen Changqing back to the Shu Mountain Sacred Land.
After entering Evergreen Peak, she rarely went out.
After all, his identity was special, as he was Ghost Cultivator who spoke.
The Shu Mountain Sacred Land is the foremost of the Orthodox Ten Great Sacred Lands.
Xiaoqian was naturally worried that her identity would cause trouble for Chen Changqing.
However, tomorrow's Seven Peaks Grand Competition is of great importance, Xiaoqian also wants to go to the scene to cheer for Chen Changqing.
Upon hearing Xiaoqian's words, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and readily agreed.
"Go if you want!"
As he spoke, Chen Changqing casually waved his hand.
Then, a bamboo hat appeared and fell straight down in front of Xiaoqian.
"This bamboo hat can conceal your aura; if you ever want to go out in the future, just take this hat with you!"
"Ordinary Cultivators wouldn't be able to detect your identity at all."
Chen Changqing said calmly.
He had forgotten who he had killed to obtain this bamboo hat, but it was of a high grade, a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.
"Ah?"
Upon seeing this, Xiaoqian was startled, realizing the extraordinary nature of the bamboo hat.
"Young master, such a treasure..."
Before Xiaoqian could finish speaking, Chen Changqing interrupted her:
"How?"
"Do you really intend to appear at the Seven Peaks Grand Competition without concealing your aura?"
"I still have quite a few enemies within Mount Shu."
"If they knew that I, this young master, had taken in a Ghost Cultivator, they would definitely use this to their advantage."
You don't want to cause me unnecessary trouble, do you?
After hearing Chen Changqing's words, Xiaoqian paused for a moment, then reached out her hand and took the bamboo hat.
"Thank you, young master!"
With that, Xiaoqian bowed slightly to Chen Changqing before getting up and leaving.
After Xiaoqian left, Chen Changqing returned to his residence and lay down to fall into a deep sleep.
The next day, the sky was clear and the air was crisp.
Within the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, clouds and mist surged, and rays of light shone in myriad directions.
"Boom!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Immediately afterwards, countless Sword Lights and escape lights rose from the peaks like shooting stars, and then converged on the Questioning Platform.
The Questioning Platform is a huge, suspended plaza.
The entire square is paved with white jade.
The earlier Holy Son Grand Competition was held at the Questioning Platform).
At this moment, countless disciples of Mount Shu gathered on the Questioning Platform.
Looking around, there was a sea of people, a deafening noise, and the clear cries of birds and beasts; the air was filled with an atmosphere of excitement and tension.
This is because today is the Seven Peaks Grand Competition of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land.
The news had been circulating for a long time.
This Seven Peaks Grand Competition is of extraordinary significance.
The Champion of the competition is highly likely to become a candidate for the next Sect Master of Mount Shu.
The Seven Peaks Grand Competition is about to begin!
"It's so lively!"
"This competition is on a completely different level than the previous Holy Son Grand Competition!"
"That's natural. Besides the Peak Scion of the main Main Peaks, the elites from each peak will also participate in this competition."
"I wonder who will win first place in this competition?"
"It's hard to say. The Peak Scion of each of the major Main Peaks are all prodigies, possessing extraordinary strength."
"It seems that Chen Changqing, as the Holy Son, will also participate in this Seven Peaks Grand Competition!"
"Don't even mention him. He gave up on himself long ago. Since returning to Mount Shu, I haven't seen him cultivate at all!"
"Exactly! Although he won first place in the Holy Son Grand Competition, this is the Seven Peaks Grand Competition. Even with his Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivation, it won't be easy for him to stand out!"
"..."
For a time, many disciples of Mount Shu were discussing the Questioning Platform.
Basically, nobody had a high opinion of Chen Changqing.
Even though Chen Changqing won first place in the Holy Son Grand Competition, that doesn't prove anything.
After all, this Seven Peaks Grand Competition is being held by the Peak Scion of all the major Main Peaks.
At this moment, Evergreen Peak is located.
Outside Chen Changqing's residence, Liu Mu had already gathered a group of core disciples and those who had joined Evergreen Peak, waiting for Chen Changqing to appear so they could set off for the Questioning Platform.
What's going on?
"The grand competition is about to begin, why is there still no sign of the Holy Son?"
"There are rumors circulating outside that our Holy Son has given up on this competition."
"The Seven Peaks Grand Competition is far superior to the Holy Son Grand Competition!"
"Recently, breakthroughs have been occurring frequently within the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, and it's said that these are all Peak Scion attempting to break through their barriers!"
"I really don't know what kind of existence those mysterious Peak Scion are?"
"Peak Scion who can become the Main Peak must all be extraordinary, perhaps even more monstrous than the various Holy Sons!"
Hearing the whispers of the Evergreen Peak disciples, Liu Mu frowned suddenly, then coldly swept his gaze across the crowd.
