The Wanyao Sect is ranked at least fifth in the Xuanzhen Continent, while the Tianqing Sect can only barely rank in the top ten. If a falling out with the Wanyao Sect is really caused by the Dead Tree Reviving Art, the Tianqing Sect will be the one to suffer.

However, if Su Zi wanted to go to Wanyao Sect in advance to comprehend the Tongtian Stone Stele, this would be a good opportunity.

Even if the Dead Tree Revival Technique is only of the Yellow Rank, for the Wanyao Sect, it can at least take their planting ability to the next level. And it is impossible for the Wanyao Sect not to agree to it just for a chance to comprehend the stone tablet.

After all, this opportunity still needs to be fought for by the Tianqing Sect itself.

To put it another way, even if one really wins, not everyone will be lucky enough to enter the stone tablet and comprehend the secrets contained therein.

Over the years, among the many disciples who entered the Tongtian Stone Stele, only a few were able to fully comprehend the contents on the stele.

Even among the disciples of Wanyao Sect, only two people have succeeded in gaining enlightenment, and they were only at the very beginning.

Among the team on the opposite side, only three people are at the Jindan stage, and the others are at the foundation-building stage.

Among the three people in the Jindan stage, two of them are Shangguan Yulan and Shi Lingtian.

Shi Lingtian is the team leader and elder, so naturally he would not take action.

The other side still has two Jindan masters.

Su Zi couldn't help but complain to his master.

"Maybe they knew that we had sent all our Jindan-stage disciples out to investigate the evil cultivators, so they deliberately found an opportunity to come here now to discuss and learn from us."

Upon hearing this, Master Cangnan smiled slightly and did not answer.

For a moment, Su Zi really had this thought in his mind. Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence that, except for a few deacons and elders who were in the Jindan stage, more than half of the first-sequence disciples in the Jindan and foundation-building stages had been sent out, and some had also gone out to gain experience. It was definitely too late now.

Apart from the other first-sequence disciples and Su Zi, the only ones left who could compete were the inner disciples. However, the ones with the highest cultivation among this group were Gu Yanli and Chu Xingchuan, both of whom were at the peak of the late foundation building stage.

Anyway, this yellow-level dead tree revival technique is kept in the sect but no one wants to learn it. If it can be exchanged for an opportunity to comprehend the Tongtian Stone Stele, it will be a profit for the sect. The rest depends on whether Tianqing Sect itself has the ability to get this opportunity.

When Su Zi replied that his master was taking part in the competition, the group of people had finished their greetings and moved from the square to the martial arts training ground.

Along the way, only the head master and the elders of Wanyao Sect were greeting each other. After arriving at the destination, the disciples of both sides were distributed on the stands on the left and right sides of the martial arts training ground.

The martial arts training ground is where the disciples of the Tianqing Sect compete and exchange martial arts. Small sect competitions are also usually held here.

It is a bit like a modern football field, but the venue is a circular arena that is one-third smaller than a football field.

After the competition begins, a barrier will rise around the arena to separate the disciples watching from the competing disciples, to prevent accidental injuries to the watching disciples and to prevent the competing disciples from being disturbed.

"Your sect's disciples have been exhausted from the journey. Are you sure you don't want to take a short rest before the competition?"

Before sitting down, the head master once again asked Shi Lingtian, the elder of Wanyao Sect.

The latter chuckled and waved his hand: "Master Fang is thoughtful, but these kids are thick-skinned and tough. Don't worry about them. If just sitting on the flying boat for a few days affects their performance, then there is really something wrong with their cultivation."

Although Shi Lingtian was smiling, that smile did not reach his eyes.

This person gave Su Zi a weird feeling, and he seemed very unlikable.

It was clearly just a polite remark, but to Su Zi it sounded like the man was looking down on the Tianqing Sect.

Su Zi curled her lips, thinking that she was just being petty. After all, this person was Senior Brother Mu's enemy. She would subconsciously hate people that her own people hated. This might be one of her problems.

"Alright, alright. Elder Shi, please take a seat." The head uncle smiled and pointed to the seat next to him. He sat down as he spoke.

Seeing his master take a seat, Su Zi also took a seat, completely ignoring Shi Lingtian who had not had the chance to sit down yet.

The latter glanced at Su Zi inconspicuously, his eyes flashed, and then he sat down with a smile.

"Elder Shi, even though it's just a competition, why don't we offer some prizes to encourage our disciples? What do you think?" Seeing Shi Lingtian sitting down, the head master spoke.

"A prize? That's fine. After all, it's a friendly exchange between the two sects. It's only right to offer some prize." Although Shi Lingtian continued speaking, his eyes turned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"In that case, isn't your sect curious about why the spiritual level of our disciples has increased so fast? In fact, it is because the disciples under the sect have obtained the complete version of the Dead Tree Resurrection Technique by chance. How about my Tianqing Sect using the Dead Tree Resurrection Technique in exchange for an opportunity to comprehend your Tongtian Stone Tablet?"

Shi Lingtian's mouth stiffened, but he did not refuse. He just smiled and said, "This is difficult for me, Sect Leader. I have to ask the Sect Leader of Wanyao Sect for instructions before I can make a decision. Please wait for a moment."

"No hurry, no hurry." Sect Master Fang raised his hand, signaling Shi Lingtian to do as he pleases.

Su Zi felt uncomfortable watching from the side. The leader of Tianqing Sect was actually so polite to the elders of Wanyao Sect. How was this different from the situation in his previous life where a higher-ranking official could crush a person to death?

Moreover, the Tianqing Sect and her master Cangnan Zhenren are all like this. Among other sects, it is hard to imagine how noble the elders of the Wanyao Sect must be.

It’s just the Wanyao Sect, which is ranked fifth, and it can come to the Tianqing Sect to ask for martial arts under the guise of exchange and communication. What about the others?

Su Zi didn't dare to think about it.

Sure enough, even in the world of cultivating immortals, power is necessary to survive.

If he wanted to live safely in the Tianqing Sect, the overall strength of the Tianqing Sect could not be too weak.

At some point, Su Zi had fallen into his own thoughts and completely ignored what was happening in the outside world.

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, and the same applies to the rise and fall of a sect.

In a trance, Su Zi had a strange feeling lingering in her heart. She quickly recited a few heart-clearing mantras to calm herself down.

That was a close call. Why did I feel like I was deducing some martial arts techniques?

Su Zi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She subconsciously interrupted the feeling just now. Her sixth sense told her that if she didn't interrupt it, she would be electrocuted every day.

"In that case, let's begin the competition."

When Su Zi came back to his senses, he heard his master uncle speaking.

He reflexively looked at his master, who nodded slightly at him.

Restraining the excitement in his heart, Su Zi set his sights on the arena.

At some point, above the arena, a deacon from the inner sect of the Tianqing Sect, dressed in uniform, appeared in the air.

"Then let me briefly introduce the rules of this competition.

The competition between the two sects is mainly for exchange and communication. The purpose is to stop when the time is right. No one is allowed to intentionally cause serious injury or loss of life to others. Violators will be declared the loser.

During the competition, you are not allowed to use elixirs, talismans and other external objects. Those who violate this will be deemed the loser.

The competition is a round-robin system, with both sides sending out the same number of disciples to compete, and the one remaining on the stage at the end wins.

Now, the competition begins."

The deacon who was speaking was the only disciple of the master uncle and also Su Zi's senior brother.

Like the master uncle, he is a sword cultivator. Although he is in the late Jindan stage, he can fight on equal terms with the fifteenth elder who is in the early Nascent Soul stage just by relying on his physical body.

Moreover, Uncle Fifteen is an individual cultivator.

According to legend, the first uncle, the second uncle and the third uncle are all geniuses similar to their own master. However, since the three uncles disappeared during an exploration of a secret realm a hundred years ago while trying to find an opportunity to break through and concentrate their minds, there has been no news of them in Xuanzhen Continent.

I think if the three uncles were still alive, the Tianqing Sect would definitely be much stronger than it is now.
