I only activate the growth system when I am an immortal emperor

As time passed, a depressive smell filled the surrounding air.

Up to this time, none of the Absolute Beginning Sect and Tianmo Sect disciples had come out.

They will come out later, but not more than half an hour.

Today, there is less than half a quarter of an hour left before the closure of the secret realm.

It is equivalent to opening a total of two hours. If there are less than 10 minutes left, the secret realm will be closed.

Once closed, it will be 50 years before the next opening.

Now it seems that there is a high possibility that something happened to the disciples of the two sects.

The aura of the gate of the secret realm is getting weaker and weaker, as if it will disappear at any time.

Hong Wen and Zhang Sen's expressions were already very ugly.

Until it really disappeared, the situation was very clear, and it was certain that something had happened.

The two turned their heads, first glanced at the four suzerains, then at Du Ruxin, and then walked over.

Seeing this, Yang Tao turned around to protect Du Ruxin behind him, and was ready to fight.

When he came in front of several people, Hong Wen didn't get angry, he didn't mean to get angry, he looked at Du Ruxin very calmly and asked: "I want to know what's going on with my Taichu Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Du Ruxin glanced at the two of them, and then said: "Master Hong, Sect Master Zhang, you should be clear about what you are doing. Since they choose to do this, they must be prepared. In the end, you are also very clear about it. I think you should Needless to say."

When she met the eyes of the two of them, she was not afraid at all.

In addition to the fact that there are several suzerains here, she is very confident, and there is another point that she has confidence in herself.

Hong Wen didn't have other thoughts at first, after Du Ruxin's provocative eyes, he naturally wouldn't let her go, and immediately launched a counterattack.

At this moment of counterattack, Du Ruxin almost couldn't bear it, but fortunately, Yang Tao was there to bear part of it for her.

After staring at each other for a while, Hong Wen's face became more and more ugly.

Although Yang Tao resisted part of her, the gap between the two is here, and it cannot be made up casually.

The result was that Du Ruxin didn't seem to be affected or hurt at all, which made him unacceptable for a while.

You know, her cultivation base is only at the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal, but she can fight against him, a cultivator at the Perfect Realm of the Profound Immortal Stage. From this, it can be seen how powerful her strength is and how powerful her potential is.

At this moment, Hong Wen's murderous intentions suddenly rose, and he wished to get rid of her immediately.

Aware of this killing intent, Yang Tao quickly protected Du Ruxin to avoid being hurt. Such a loss was not something that the Sacred Fire Sect could afford.

With Yang Tao's obstruction, and there are several other suzerains here, Hong Wen knew that it was impossible to solve her, so he could only choose to give up.

He smiled and said: "It seems that you already know about this, and at the same time I also know the ending of my disciples from Taichu Sect and Tianmo Sect. This time, the suzerain has written it down. Sooner or later, you will pay the price for it."

After speaking, he took Zhang Sen and left here directly.

After leaving, Zhang Sen couldn't help asking: "Master Hong, should we forget about it?"

"Forget it? Of course it's impossible to forget it. It's just that we can't do anything now. Remember this matter in advance and solve it slowly when we find an opportunity."

Zhang Sen was obviously not reconciled.

"But Head Hong, let's just leave."

Before he finished speaking, Hong Wen said: "Is there anything else you can do? Obviously they have already guessed our plan this time. It is no accident that all our disciples are lost in it, and it is Du Ru made by heart."

"In addition, Du Ruxin's potential and strength have exceeded my expectations. She must be resolved as soon as possible. If there is no accident, the Supreme Elders of the four sects are all nearby. Even if we make a move, there will be no good results. , this matter should be considered in the long run, don't worry about this moment."

Speaking of this, Zhang Sen knew that Hong Wen was determined not to do anything at this time, so he chose to give up after thinking about it.

Regardless of the fact that his Heavenly Demon Sect can be called the second largest sect in terms of overall strength, it is actually not that far behind the other sects.

It's just because of the Absolute Beginning Sect, which provided a lot of help, and the strength has been greatly improved.

If it weren't for the Absolute Beginning Sect, such a situation would not have been possible.

Like the previous martial arts competitions, the Absolute Beginning Sect has an absolute advantage.

Almost half of the top ten disciples are from the Taichu sect, two or three are from the Tianmo sect, and the remaining two or three are from the other four sects to choose from.

Under such circumstances, at the end of the battle, if a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect meets a disciple of the Absolute Beginning Sect, the latter will release the water directly so that the former can advance successfully.

Until the final contest between the two, it must be between the disciples of the Tianmo Sect and the disciples of the Taichu Sect. In this way, their rankings have actually been determined in advance.

This is also an important reason why Tianmozong can get No.2 every time.

With the help of Taichu Sect, it is difficult not to get No.2.

Regarding this point, the four sects are very clear, but they are helpless.

The two sects just took advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the martial arts competition to achieve such a goal, and they didn't violate it, so they couldn't be stopped.

And if you want to modify the rules, either it will affect the progress of the entire martial arts competition, or there will be a major change, otherwise the modification will not be made.

When you encounter these situations, you can modify them directly. If you want to modify the rules of the tournament, there is only one way.

That is to get the consent of the six sects.

The four sects would agree, but the other two sects could not agree, and it was impossible to modify it.

In this way, it can only be allowed to continue.

Now, without Hong Wen's support and help, it is impossible for him to take action against these sects, because the strength is not enough here.

"Master Hong, I will follow your arrangement."

After speaking, several people left without looking back.

When the two left, Jiang Zhe said with a smile: "Guys, the martial arts tournament and the exploration of the secret realm are over now. If you have nothing else to do, you can rest in my Tianhaizong for a few days before leaving, so that I can do my best to be the landlord." Friendship."

If it were before, they would definitely agree without hesitation.

Staying inside the sect all day, I definitely want to come out and have a look.

But in the current situation, several people have no idea about this at all.

Yang Tao shook his head and said: "Sect Master Jiang, I think it's better to forget about staying. You know the situation, it is very dangerous for our three sects. The most urgent thing is to take advantage of the time when Hong Wen and Zhang Sen are leaving. Going back, the only way to go back to the sect is the safest."

"Otherwise, if these two people set up an ambush halfway, or take advantage of us not in the sect, it will be very dangerous to attack the disciples of the sect. We should rush back as soon as possible."

Yang Tao's words touched the hearts of the other two people.

The two then shared their opinions.

They mean the same as Yang Tao.

They all want to go back as soon as possible.

Besides, even the powerful Sacred Fire Sect chose to leave, wouldn't it be more dangerous for them to stay here.

What's more, the Holy Fire Sect is the closest and can go back faster.

The distance between Jiuxingzong and Wujiangu is relatively farther, and it is actually more dangerous.

Should have left earlier.

"Okay, the three of you are right. It's more dangerous to stay in Tianhaizong, so I won't keep you guys. Be careful on the way back."

"Sect Master Jiang, if you have nothing else to do, you should go back first. Everyone has to be careful about what they have been doing lately."

Yang Tao said very carefully.

In fact, after the exploration of the secret realm, Yang Tao's first thought was to leave here quickly and return to the sect.

In any case, only the Sacred Fire Sect is the safest place.

Even in Tianhaizong, it can't give him too much sense of security.

After returning to the sect, not only the existence of the sect guarding formation, but also many very powerful elders are safer.

In addition, Hong Wen and Zhang Sen had just left, so choosing to return to the sect at this time would not be too dangerous.

If they waited until they left for a period of time before leaving, they might be ambushed halfway.

Besides, these two people just left, even if they wanted to ambush halfway, they wouldn't be too well prepared.

And they have a total of three sects that will be divided into three different directions, so they will definitely not be able to attack the three sects at the same time.

If the Absolute Beginning Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect want to solve one of the sects separately, it is obviously impossible.

This is also the main reason why Yang Tao had to leave immediately.

Jiang Zhe didn't try to keep him, the people from the three sects divided into their own teams and hurried back towards their respective sects.

Along the way, Yang Tao didn't tell his disciples.

Just tell them to stay quietly on the magic weapon, waiting to return to the sect as soon as possible.

Now there is only one thought in his mind, which is to go back immediately.

As long as you return to the sect, any danger is no longer a danger.

It took a total of seven days to go back when I came here. In the case of advancing at full speed, I returned to the range of the Holy Fire Sect within five days.

After entering the range of the Holy Fire Sect, Yang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this is not yet within the scope of the real sect, it is very close to the real Holy Fire Sect.

In case of danger, the sect can immediately send people to help, so there is no need to worry too much.

When they appeared in the sect, everyone in the sect looked over.

Of course, there is more curiosity, wanting to know what kind of gains will be gained from this joint martial arts competition and the secret exploration of the Holy Fire Sect.

You must know that the recent martial arts competitions did not hold much hope for the disciples of the Holy Fire Sect.

The main reason is that his strength has been declining, and he has won the ranking, and has always been No.3.

Although it is better than the other three sects, it is basically impossible to fall to No.4.

However, there are two sects of Taichu Sect and Tianmo Sect in front of them, and sometimes they are overwhelmed.

This time, although the suzerain is very confident, he thinks that he will be able to get a good ranking and come back.

But most of the disciples and elders are still unwilling to believe it.

In their view, getting No.3 is a normal result.

To say that he was able to get No.2 can only be said to be extraordinary performance and good luck.

As for getting No.1, I never thought about it that way.

It is impossible to get No.1 with the existence of the Gate of Absolute Beginning.

Therefore, for the disciples of the Holy Fire Sect, they did not have much hope.

However, seeing the rest of the disciples brought back by the suzerain now, the smile on his face is very obvious.

When seeing this scene, many disciples were thinking in their hearts, is the result this time unexpectedly different?

They all began to speculate whether this time the joint martial arts competition won the No.2 good result.

Although it has only advanced by one rank, it is already a very good thing for the current Holy Fire Sect, and it is something to be happy about.

They didn't think about No.1 at all. In any case, the current strength of the Absolute Beginning Sect is here, and it is not an existence that the Holy Fire Sect can easily surpass.

Naturally, this will not happen.

After returning to the sect, Yang Tao actually noticed the expressions and reactions of these disciples.

I probably guessed in my heart why they reacted like this, so I couldn't help but smile.

But I didn't think about publishing it now.

Afterwards, people went to inform the other elders to gather in the Zongmen Hall, preparing to announce the results of the martial arts competition and the exploration of the secret realm.

It stands to reason that the elders in the sect would know about this in advance, but because this time is very different from the previous ones.

Things have changed a lot.

And now this result is much stronger than when the Sacred Fire Sect was at its peak.

Under such circumstances, it must be a secret first, and then announced to everyone.

The effect will be more obvious.

The elders who were notified quickly came to the Zongmen Hall.

Because of the confidentiality in advance, they still don't know the specific results, and everyone is very curious.

I want to know what kind of results have been achieved in this martial arts competition.

For the entire Holy Fire Sect, only the top three names can be obtained.

If the No.3 is the same as the previous results, it stands to reason that the suzerain, the elders, and the disciples would not be so happy.

If it is No.2, it stands to reason that he would not be so happy. The only possibility is to get No.1.

But if you think about it carefully, there is the Gate of Absolute Beginning, and No. 1 has nothing to do with the Holy Fire Sect.

After much deliberation, there was no way to determine which place he got.

Knowing that Yang Tao is going to announce the result of this martial arts competition at this moment, he is naturally looking forward to it.

I want to know the answer sooner.

Wait until everyone arrives at the Zongmen Hall.Looking at the people below, he said with a smile: "I think all the elders are very curious, this time, which place my Holy Fire Sect won in the joint martial arts competition, and then the suzerain will be the first to announce this matter. "

Although Yang Tao didn't tell the elders directly, he was going to tell them about this first.

Then Yang Tao said again: "My Sacred Fire Sect won the No.1 result in this joint martial arts competition."

Hearing the announcement of the result, the elders couldn't believe it and were stunned.

But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Yang Tao, as the suzerain, didn't need to lie to them, and this matter was very easy to verify.

Other sects must also be discussing this matter, and they only need to ask to get the same answer.

In this way, it seems that the Holy Fire Sect really won No.1.

Then the whole hall became excited.

After a lapse of hundreds of years, the Sacred Fire Sect finally returned to No.1 again.

It can be said that everyone is very excited.

After giving them a while to digest, Yang Tao briefly talked about the situation of the joint martial arts competition.

Then Yang Tao said with a smile: "What I just announced is the first thing, and then the suzerain announced that the second thing has something to do with the exploration of the secret realm."

Then he told all the elders what happened in the secret realm in detail.

Including increasing the number of people entering the secret realm, the situation of the disciples of the Holy Fire Sect entering and the situation of coming out.

There is also some information about the Absolute Beginning Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Knowing the ins and outs of the whole thing, they were stunned again on the spot.

Judging from the expression and reaction, it is harder to believe than knowing that the Holy Fire Sect won No.1.

"Sovereign, is this true? My Sacred Fire Sect has really achieved such a result, and the disciples who went out and entered the secret realm with the Heavenly Demon Sect were really wiped out?"

After a while, an elder finally asked the doubts in their hearts.

This is the only thought of the uninformed elders, and that is to know whether this matter is true or false?
Although Yang Tao said it himself, there is a high probability that there is no falsehood, but what he said was so shocking that they couldn't believe it.

Only then did I ask with a skeptical attitude.

Yang Tao was not angry about this. In fact, he had already anticipated the possible reactions of these elders before the announcement.

It now appears to be nothing more than a perfectly normal situation, nothing different.

The elders were not only very puzzled, but also expressed doubts.

Yang Tao said with a smile: "About the specific situation of this martial arts competition and the exploration of the secret realm, it is estimated that it will spread throughout Leizhou in a short time. By then, everyone will know this matter. Is it true or false? You also will know."

"To be honest, the suzerain had the same reaction as you when I first learned about this situation. I thought it was impossible. However, from the opening to the final closing of the gate of the secret realm, no disciple from the two sects came out. It has already been shown that this situation is true, so you don't need to express doubts, but have confidence in my disciples of the Holy Fire Sect, and have confidence in the disciples of the suzerain."

Hearing these words, the elders looked at Du Ruxin.

When Yang Tao, who was the suzerain before, wanted to recruit Du Ruxin as his personal disciple, there were still people who opposed it.

I think Du Ruxin has potential, but her strength is not particularly strong.

Being a direct disciple is not qualified for the time being.

After the strength reaches a certain level of cultivation, it is not too late to recruit as a direct disciple.

In the end, it was Yang Tao who made the decision directly and decided on this matter.

And to report to the Supreme Elder, it took a lot of talking before getting the consent of the elders.

The whole process was not easy.

It's just that Du Ruxin didn't know what happened.

Now that Du Ruxin participated in the joint martial arts competition for the first time, he achieved such a result.

It can be said that a very satisfactory answer sheet was handed over.

At the beginning, the elders who opposed the idea, including the elders who still have the idea of ​​opposing it now, have only one thought in their minds at the moment, that is, Du Ruxin has the qualifications.

With this ability, he became a new direct disciple of the Holy Fire Sect.

In the future, no matter what kind of cultivation resources she gets, she can accept it.

This achievement alone is enough, let alone other aspects.

Similarly, he also showed his own strength in this martial arts competition and the exploration of the secret realm.
