The exchange between the two colleges has concluded.
The Southern Region Hidden Dao Academy has once again won first place.
Moreover, they won first place this time even with the main hospital participating.
This is significantly more prestigious than previous years.
Qin Tiannan smiled, appearing quite calm.
But in reality, she was overjoyed.
All five players won.
They defeated the other colleges with overwhelming force.
Qin Tiannan naturally gained more respect and was courted by more powerful forces.
Even Dean Yan personally received Qin Tiannan afterwards.
They also promised to allocate more resources to the Southern Region Hidden Dao Academy.
He wasn't interested in the Southern Region Hidden Dao Academy.
Instead, they favored Cottage.
Qin Tiannan was naturally aware of this as well.
Before Hong Ying left.
Li Clan and Pill Sect expressed their support for the reconstruction of the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
At the same time, they also agreed to fight alongside the Cloud Phoenix Empire on the Heavenly Road!
This was an exchange at the academy.
Dean Yan invited many influential figures to come and watch.
The strength of the five disciples of the Cottage was completely exposed to the world at this moment.
Many forces that were originally wavering and unable to make a decision.
At that moment, he also saw the potential of Cottage.
Therefore, they chose to join the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
The stakes have been placed on the future of Cottage!
Undoubtedly, this made the reconstruction of the Cloud Phoenix Empire unstoppable.
The sect leader of the Pill Sect smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please inform your master of what we discussed earlier."
Hong Ying nodded.
After the Pill Sect Master left, Ye Qiubai asked, "Junior Sister, what did you promise that you had to tell Master?"
Hong Ying smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing."
"It was merely a condition for the Pill Sect to join the Cloud Phoenix Empire; in exchange, my master would go to the Pill Sect and give them some pointers."
"Of course, to avoid Master's reprimand, I would say it was a condition discussed between Senior Brother and the Pill Sect."
After saying that, Hong Ying set off back to the Cottage.
Mu Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Brother Qiubai, take care."
After saying that, he caught up with Hong Ying, "Sister Hong Ying, wait for me!"
Ye Qiubai was left standing there, completely bewildered.
Holy crap?
Why did you sell me out again?
He wondered what kind of punishment his master would give him after learning this news.
Ye Qiubai couldn't help but tremble.
They hurried after him.
"Junior sister! Wait, you can't just shift the blame onto your senior brother like that!"
Ning Chenxin, Xiao Hei, and Shi Sheng exchanged glances, smiled, and followed.
The group set off back to the Cottage.
On the other side, in the Western Region.
Top of Buddha Mountain.
Within the Buddhist Sect.
Of the six elderly men, two have now died in action.
The remaining four elderly men stood in front of a grand hall atop the mountain.
"Amitabha Buddha, Your Majesty, the four of us have important matters to discuss."
As soon as he finished speaking...
There was no response.
Wait until one day later.
The four old men still stood in front of the main hall.
It was as if they were waiting for a response from inside the main hall.
At this moment, a deep, resonant voice rang out from inside the main hall.
"What is it?"
Upon hearing the response, one of the elders immediately said, "Buddha, Empress Yunhuang has been reincarnated and is currently rebuilding the Cloud Phoenix Empire."
"It's too late to stop them."
The Buddha's voice rang out once more.
What countermeasures does the Upper Realm have?
"Our connection with the Upper Realm was suddenly severed a few days ago, and we haven't been able to contact Upper Realm no matter what we do."
"Moreover, the Heart of the Realm was also obtained by Empress Yunhuang."
Unable to contact?
The Buddha's voice remained calm as he said, "I understand."
"Continue to monitor Empress Yunhuang's movements. At the same time, try to win over neutral forces that have not yet joined the Cloud Phoenix Empire."
"I will find a way to contact the Upper Realm and inform them of the information."
"Remember, you must do everything in your power to stop the Cloud Phoenix Empire from growing ever larger."
"Otherwise, the Buddhist Sect's plan, meticulously crafted over millennia, will be thwarted!"
"Also, after the Buddha's disciple returns, he should come to see me."
After saying that, the Buddha's voice never came out again.
It was as if they had never existed.
After receiving instructions from the Buddha, the four elderly Buddhist Sect...
They also left one after another.
at this time.
Golden light shone brightly inside the main hall!
A man, dressed in a golden robe, sat cross-legged on a prayer mat.
Under the golden light, its appearance could not be clearly seen.
This person is the Buddha.
"It seems a great era has arrived..."
"Whether Buddhist Sect can succeed depends on this step."
"For the future of the Buddhist Sect..."
The man spoke softly, looking at the golden Buddha statue before him.
He placed one hand on his brow.
A drop of Essence Blood was seeping out from between his brows!
After this drop of Essence Blood was released...
The man's face turned deathly pale!
Even his aura became weak and feeble.
The Buddha, struggling to maintain his strength, extended a finger.
He presented that drop of golden Essence Blood to the Golden Buddha.
The Essence Blood seeped into the red dot between the eyebrows of the golden Buddha.
Sudden!
The golden Buddha statue was surrounded by a brilliant golden light!
A beam of golden light, centered on the golden Buddha statue, shot out from the dome!
Climbing towards the sky!
The golden beam of light quickly shot into the Heavenly Road.
But at this moment...
The golden pillar of light could no longer rise.
The shielding formation set up by Lu Changsheng within the Heavenly Road.
The golden beam of light was blocked!
Inside the main hall, the Buddha's expression turned slightly solemn.
"Sure enough, someone has set up an array here, preventing messages from getting out..."
"However, this concerns the future of the Buddhist Sect, so we must take a gamble..."
He gritted his teeth slightly.
He drew another drop of Essence Blood from between his eyebrows.
It dripped into the golden Buddha statue!
The golden pillar of light surged with immense power!
We must break through this shielding formation!
This moment.
Around the Heavenly Road.
A series of Jianmu came to greet them!
Completely lock down that golden beam of light!
The Jianmu Dragon-Trapping Grand Formation!
Then, it continued to compress the golden beam of light.
Only a few breaths had passed.
The golden pillar of light was then crushed by the countless Jianmu!
They transformed into streaks of golden light, scattering across the world.
Only then did Jianmu retract.
The shielding formation also withdrew its power.
At this moment, the Buddha in the main hall also coughed up a mouthful of blood!
He was listless and lethargic.
He hurriedly sat cross-legged on the futon, his brows furrowed, suppressing the backlash within his body!
"Who on earth set up this formation?!"
"Who in this realm has the ability to set up such a high-level formation?"
The Buddha sighed softly and said quietly, "The news can no longer be sent out. We can only hope that the forces of the Upper Realm will discover this anomaly soon..."
At this moment, in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
In the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
The Grand Elder has already brought the message back.
Upon learning this, Kong Jianghan, the sect leader of the Heavenly Spirit Sect,...
His expression was extremely gloomy.
"It must be a formation set up by that man."
"He must have set up this formation to conceal some things that happened in the lower realm."
"We can't wait any longer; delay might lead to unforeseen changes."
After speaking, Kong Jianghan looked at the Grand Elder and said, "Immediately inform Sect Master Peng and the others to prepare for the expedition!"
The Grand Elder also realized the seriousness of the situation.
Nodding, he went to notify the other sects even before his injuries had fully healed!
