"People from Taixu Sect are here?" The people around started to talk among themselves, but most of them sounded surprised.

"Taixu Sect?" Jin Fengming frowned, obviously the situation before him was beyond his expectations.

"Hasn't the Taixu Sect participated in the martial arts competition for many years? Why are they here this year?"

Xuan Zhengqing, the leader of the Shenxiao Sect, stood up, and everyone in the elders' seats also stood up, followed by the inner gate, outer gate and outer courtyard.

Zhang Yunqing didn't understand what was going on, so he had to stand up with everyone else.

At this time, several bleak figures appeared on the thousand-step staircase behind the square. They walked up the staircase step by step, and their figures gradually emerged in the square.

Starting from the most marginal independent cultivators, wherever they went, the independent cultivators would bow and greet them, and these independent cultivators were thanking them from the bottom of their hearts.

As the Taixu Sect's team advanced, the smaller sects that were not as important as the others also stood up, and then the eight major sects also stood up.

Zhang Yunqing looked around and found that everyone present had stood up. How could the Taixu Sect be so respected?

In the square, the team of Taixu Sect looked a little weird. Walking in the front was a white-haired old man who was trembling as if he would fall down at any time. Next to him, half a step behind was a man with similar white hair but agile behavior, who supported him. Behind them was a group of children who were only in their early teens.

There were about ten children, all of whom were new to the world of cultivating immortals. They looked a little shy, with timid eyes cast on the people around them, and followed the old man in front of them closely.

This slightly 'weird' team walked step by step to the seat of the Shenxiao Sect under the gaze of everyone. The old man in front of them bowed and said, "Master Xuan, how are you?"

Xuan Zhengqing nodded in return, "It's been many years since we last met. How is Mr. Zheng?"

The old man smiled and said, "It's not bad. I can still watch the disciples in the martial arts competition before my lifespan runs out. I have no regrets in this life. It's just that I'm late today because the immortal boat is damaged. I hope you don't mind."

Xuan Zhengqing lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Zheng must have been exhausted from the long journey. Please take a seat."

Old Zheng nodded and took his team of more than a dozen people to sit down in the seats next to the Beast Taming Sect. However, the seating area, which was not very spacious to begin with, seemed extremely empty with the sparse crowd of more than a dozen people.

As the people from Taixu Sect took their seats, the others also gradually sat down.

Zhang Yunqing was just about to ask someone about the Taixu Sect when he heard the person next to him ask with a puzzled look on his face, "How could the Taixu Sect be so prestigious? Could it make the entire cultivation world give way to it?"

"That's right. Does anyone know why?"

"I heard that Taixu Sect was once the best sect in the world, but it suddenly declined later."

"I have heard of a version of the story. It is said that the world of immortal cultivation was in chaos and demons were rampant. The Taixu Sect improved its own skills, and the improved skills were very effective in dealing with demons. This is the Dao-derived cultivation skills that the entire world of immortal cultivation is using now. The Taixu Sect not only used this set of skills to deal with demons, but also shared it with the entire world of immortal cultivation for free to resolve the danger of demons at that time."

"Because this set of skills was so effective in restraining demons, the Taixu Sect was targeted by the demons and the entire sect was slaughtered. When other sects arrived, only two people were left alive. One was the then great elder, whose meridians were severed, and the other was a young disciple who had just joined the sect and was seriously injured."

"These two are the white-haired old men who were walking in front just now. They both look like they are almost at the end of their lives. Although they have always wanted to revive the Taixu Sect, the Taixu Sect is now in decline, and the skills can be learned by anyone. There are neither hidden skills that can attract others nor cultivation resources that can help disciples cultivate, so it is difficult to recruit disciples."

"Hiss! Why does the version I heard differ from yours?"

"Tell me about yours!"

"I heard that the reason why Taixu Sect declined was because they were the number one sect in the world at that time, the most powerful and the only sect that could fight against demons. So they used all the power of the sect to seal the demon in a secret place. Except for the two descendants who stayed behind, the rest of them died in the process of sealing the demon!"

"Your statement is more believable. After all, the Taixu Sect was the number one sect in the world at that time. If even they were slaughtered, who would be able to suppress the demons in the future? I think it must be their death in suppressing the demons that led to the current situation."

A group of uninformed disciples were discussing the matter.

However, those in higher positions who knew the truth shook their heads helplessly.

"Now that everyone is here, I declare that the martial arts competition officially begins!" Xuan Zhengqing opened his mouth, and his voice, wrapped in heavy spiritual power, echoed over the Yunlan Mountains.

Then a burst of fine drumbeats sounded, and eight huge stone platforms rose in the center of the square, covered by a thick and undetectable barrier.

"The first match is the ring match!"

"You can get points for successfully fighting or defending the ring. You will get no points for failing. Points for not going on stage will be negative. Everyone has three chances to fail. After failing three times, you will not be able to fight on stage again."

"The points from today's competition will affect the distribution of tomorrow's competition. Gentlemen, please fight!"

Accompanied by the dense drum beats, everyone's fighting spirit was ignited. A disciple of the Golden Flame Sect jumped onto a stone platform first, "Golden Flame Sect's Wang Xuan, I will learn from you all!"

"Swoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!" Several people flew out from each sect, and now all eight stone platforms had been occupied.

"Swoosh!" A figure from the Shenxiao Sect went towards the arena where the Jinyan Sect disciples were at the beginning.

When the man landed on the stage, Zhang Yunqing could see clearly that the man was actually Wu Lingyun.

He cupped his hands and said, "Shenxiao Sect's Wu Lingyun, let me learn from the Golden Flame Sect's high-level tactics!"

Wang Xuan, a disciple of the Golden Flame Sect, was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to be kicked by an iron plate as soon as he came up. He could only grit his teeth and take it.

Wang Xuan summoned a magical sword, "Thousand Shadow Sword!"

He waved his hand and made a sword move, rushing towards Wu Lingyun.

But Wu Lingyun just stood there and raised his eyelids.

"Swoosh!" Countless sword shadows fell in front of him, and he was about to be pierced into a sieve. Suddenly, a burst of golden light burst out from his eyes.

"Control! The weapon!" He raised his hand and condensed countless spiritual powers between his fingers. These spiritual powers formed a half-eggshell-like spiritual shield in front of him. At the same time, the opponent's sword moves were slow to fall.

Wang Xuan, who was standing in front of him, suddenly changed his expression. He tried to grab the magic sword in his hand, but the magic sword seemed to be welded in front of Wu Lingyun and could not be pulled out no matter what!

how so? !

Wu Lingyun raised his eyes, and the magic sword in front of him immediately shook off Wang Xuan's hand, turned around on the spot, and the person the tip of the sword was pointing at had become Wang Xuan herself.
