The Top Ten Are Decided, Make Preparations!
"Since Fellow Daoist Nangong is so well prepared..."
"Alright then."
"I, Qin, accepted your offer, fellow Daoist. As for the subsequent distribution, it's too early to discuss now. We'll talk about it after we obtain the remnants of that secret realm..."
"Is it alright?"
Seeing Qin Lu's change in attitude, Nangong Qinghong was slightly taken aback, then a slight smile appeared on her lips, and her coldness dissipated like a receding tide...
He stood up, bowed, and thanked him.
Afterwards, both sides made a vow based on their own principles, and using Dao Grace as ink, inscribed their oath of alliance on a Xuanjing stone tablet...
But this vow is not permanent.
Beneath the oath, the last line reads, "The covenant is for a period of three years!"
The goal has been achieved.
Qin Lu was very happy because he had already made plans to double-cross the other party...
Nangong Qinghong was very happy because...
Beigao Clan -- Ancient Terrace Mountain
The Gao Clan family cultivators were gathered inside the Ancient Palace. In total, there were twenty-three Qi Condensation cultivators...
In the main hall, Gao Clan Xiong, Gao Xiong Dao Foundation cultivator, sat upright.
As Gao Xiong slowly awoke, his brows were filled with a fierce and resolute air, and as his Spiritual Qi energy dissipated, it carried with it a profound and ancient aura...
Its path to enlightenment--
It belongs to the Dao of the Ancient Forest, which is part of the Wood element!
Gao Xiong exhaled, and a surge of vigorous Wood Dao energy flowed like clouds and smoke before finally settling into calm. His cultivation had indeed reached the Dao Foundation Second Layer!
"That guy Nangong..."
"Any news about the person we investigated before?"
Upon hearing this—
The cultivators in the hall all rose and bowed, saying that they had nothing to say...
Only one person presented a scroll, saying, "That one from Medicine King Valley has been missing for several years, though his soul lamp hasn't gone out..."
But I'm afraid... the odds are against us.
"Furthermore, Zuo Tiancheng, the renowned physician of the Zuo Clan of South Liang Mountain, has been confirmed dead, and the Zuo Clan was recently exterminated..."
"Duan Muyou of the Great Heavenly Mountain is also dead. Rumor has it that the Tianshan Ancestor was furious and declared that whoever finds the person who killed Duan Muyou will be rewarded with ten thousand Spirit Stone."
"The last Gu Mozhen from the Demon Sha Cave is still alive..."
"But I heard rumors that it went missing a month ago, and the current situation is unknown, but the soul lamp and soul tablet are still safe and sound."
After listening--
After pondering for a moment, Gao Xiong sighed deeply and silently shook his head, saying:
"Tell Xiao Gao to stay in the clan and cultivate diligently in the coming years, and not to leave the clan territory easily. As for this news..."
"Make another copy and send it to Medicine King Valley."
"Master Chunyang of Medicine King Valley is currently missing, and several other Dao of Alchemy in alchemy have either died or gone missing in recent years..."
"Hopefully, that person from Medicine King Valley will make a move soon."
Speaking of this--
The Gao Clan cultivators all remained silent, then bowed and took their leave, thus concluding the matter...
The Bachuan Land — within the Boundless City!
After several rounds of competition, the main competition of the Hundred Lineages Grand Competition Tournament is coming to an end. Those who have made it this far are basically all familiar faces...
For example, Qin Minghan, Qin Mingdao, and Qin Mingyuan from the Qin Clan!
Among them, Qin Minghan has shown the most outstanding performance. So far, no one who has fought him has been able to last ten rounds with him...
Regarding Law Artifact, Qin Minghan only Cyan Needle Law Artifact and one precious Law Artifact.
In terms of Cultivation Method arts techniques, they are nothing more than poison techniques, acupuncture techniques, and Dharma Sect Gang Qi cultivation—seemingly ordinary methods and techniques—but in Qin Minghan's hands...
It seemed like an insurmountable mountain!
Regardless of what kind of cultivation method their opponent practiced, in Qin Minghan's eyes, they were all just fleeting clouds. He often defeated his opponents in the simplest and most unpretentious way...
There were no fancy magical Law Artifact, nor any extremely dazzling spells.
The one who defeats the opponent is always a master of poison!
Even the most common acupuncture techniques can be transformed into ingenious variations in his hands, using needles to seal acupoints and then attacking with potent poison...
This combo is so powerful, even a god couldn't stop it!
They swept through everything in their path! Defeating their opponents was as easy as eating and drinking; victory seemed like a given...
The same goes for the second son, Qin Mingdao!
With his mastery of insect manipulation, he could defeat most opponents. But if insect manipulation proved insufficient, then what awaited them...
That was Qin Mingdao's Cold Tide Dao Technique!
By combining insect techniques with cold magic, Qin Mingdao gradually developed a unique cold poison that was swift and potent...
Those poisoned by this substance will experience respiratory obstruction within three breaths, as the cold essence seeps into the kidneys, dispersing the toxins of the three essences and five qi...
Those who do not understand will surely perish!
No matter who he faces, this skill alone would place him among the top talents of all races!
Finally, Qin Mingyuan, the eighth brother, was the weakest in cultivation. Although he was only at the True Martial Seventh Realm, he relied on his Spirit-Observing Dao Eyes to fight against stronger opponents all the way!
They fought their way here!
He was the most battered of the three Qin Clan, but also the most ferocious, with every attack aimed directly at his opponent's vitals!
Every weakness of the opponent could not escape those strange eyes that were like the gaze of a wolf!
With his fierce, reckless fighting style, coupled with his wolf-like heterochromatic eyes, he earned himself the nickname: Fierce Wolf!
Apart from the three Qin Clan--
The most memorable characters were Nangong Bahuo, Ji Qing, Fawen, and others...
That Nangong Bahuo, whose Chaotic Pupils are called: Ten Fiends Chaotic Pupils, changes continuously at the start of each battle...
Sometimes, the pupils turn red, which signifies mastery of fire magic!
Despite being at the True Martial Realm, he can perform wide-range Fire Dao spells by using True Essence to draw upon a wisp of the Qi Condensation Realm Spiritual Qi, much like someone at the Qi Condensation Realm...
Sometimes, the pupils emit a faint Golden Light, which enhances the strength of the soul!
Actively expressing this is similar to having meticulous control over one's True Essence, while simultaneously greatly enhancing all senses...
However, at present--
Nangong Bahuo only displayed the abilities of two types of pupils; it's unclear whether he was concealing his true strength or if this was such an extraordinary, heaven-defying method...
Cultivation is required to support the development of subsequent abilities...
As for Ji Qing, it's quite simple.
Its main characteristic is freedom of movement, drifting with the wind, and speed that is considered the pinnacle of the True Martial Realm, making it a top choice among the younger generation...
A select few can utilize abilities beyond the Five Elements!
The Wind Dao is always ethereal and invisible, and it can even draw upon the Spiritual Qi within Spirit Stone to unleash enormous wind blades capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rocks!
As of now, no one dares to take this attack head-on...
And that eccentric Fawen—
This person comes from Clear Void Abbey, a renowned Dao Foundation power in the Great Zhou State. Within the temple, there are no fewer than three Dao Foundation cultivator!
It is the most peaceful sect in the Great Zhou State.
Although his disciples were few in number, each one of them was skilled in divination and fortune-telling, able to predict good and bad fortune, and primarily cultivated the Heavenly Secrets Dao...
The Fawen always appear extremely strange when they engage in combat.
The opponent was either careless and underestimated the enemy, or made various basic mistakes, leading to a careless defeat, giving the impression of being very strong...
Yet, there's no strong sense of strangeness about it.
The other four on the top ten list include Zhang Yi, a disciple of Ghost Valley, and another woman...
She is Ye Huan, the Holy Maiden of the Jade Maiden Sect!
There are two more: one is from the Jinxuan Dao Sect, Zhao Huanjin, and the last one is from Medicine King Valley, Lin Qi's disciple...
His name is Tian Qi!
