After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Half a month later, the competitions in each city began. The mayors of each city led the monks and their accompanying disciples to the direction of the imperial palace early in the morning...

Pei Shi carefully instructed Li Wan to stay in the room and not come out, and then he and Pei Yun walked towards the palace.

The palace looks majestic from a distance, but when you walk in, you will see carved railings and painted buildings all around. Compared with the Yunshan Sect, this palace has less fairy-like air and more noble atmosphere.

The crowd did not enter the meeting palace, but was led by the servants and maids in the palace to the competition square specially built by the royal family of Zhouxia Kingdom. Tables and chairs had been placed in advance around the wide square, which was divided into 23 camps according to the 23 cities of Zhouxia Kingdom. The viewing platform in the front, closest to the competition stage, was for the members of the royal family.

Pei Yun followed the people from Chi Ning City to a corner far away from the competition stage. They were surrounded by people from other small cities. This seating arrangement represented the strength of each city to a certain extent. For example, the cultivators from the five big cities sat right below the royal family.

She looked around. Most of the people present were from the royal family. All the major families in the imperial city were also on their side. A rough estimate was that there were more than a thousand people. People like Duanmu Hong, Duanmu Yi and Cui Lan, whom she had met a few days ago, were among them. She even caught a glimpse of Duanmu Qin, whom she had met once.

Then there were the cultivators from the five big cities, also numbering over a hundred. From their Chi Ning City, only thirty people could enter, including those who took the competition and their accompanying children, which was the least.

The person sitting in the center of the viewing platform, one step higher than the others, was the emperor of Zhouxia. After a majestic speech, he raised his wine glass. Everyone present stood up, bowed, and raised their glasses on the table to drink together...

Then several elders who seemed to be of high status came out from the royal family and explained the content of the competition.

The competition of each city is divided into two parts: a group battle with points ranking and a traditional individual competition. For this group battle, the royal family specially took out a top-grade earth-level magic weapon - the Soul Jade Pagoda.

After being activated and enlarged, the Soul Jade Pagoda was placed in the center of the competition square. It was two stories high, and the entire tower was made of pure white and transparent Soul Jade. Every part of it was faintly shiny, revealing the powerful aura of a magic weapon that was dazzling.

"... Every cultivator who participates in the competition will receive a soul jade card. After entering the pagoda with the soul jade card, they will inject their spiritual consciousness and engrave the name of the city they represent. The soul jade will then transform into a soul clone with the same strength as the cultivator and send it to the place of battle. If a soul clone is killed, the score will be displayed on the shadow wall outside the pagoda. If this soul clone has killed ten people before, then killing this soul clone will get eleven points... After the soul clone is killed, it will return to reality and will not cause any harm to the cultivators. All the points of ten people in a city will belong to the city they represent, and will not be recorded separately for each individual..."

After listening to the rules of this competition, everyone around couldn't help but start talking about it. Some were surprised, some were excited, some were hesitant, and some even complained quietly...

Pei Yun sat in his seat without saying a word. His heart was filled with surprise at the moment. His eyes were sparkling as he stared at the pagoda in the distance, motionless. To be honest, with her cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, she could only win one or two matches against cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. The gap in cultivation level between foundation building and golden elixir could not be made up in a short time. Besides, she was so young that even if she lived two lifetimes together, she could not compare to these old guys in terms of combat experience!

But the soul is different. Her soul has undergone a mutation after rebirth. She has also cultivated the three levels of spirit refining to the highest level. She has also cultivated the first level of the secret book of Xu Ge for cultivating spiritual consciousness given to her by Luo Rufeng. There is already a layer of Xu Ge protecting her sea of ​​​​consciousness. Spiritual consciousness represents will, and will represents soul. Now with these advantages added together, her soul is no inferior to that of a Jindan stage cultivator.

In fact, there are very few techniques for cultivating spiritual consciousness, and they are very precious. It is also difficult for ordinary Jindan-stage cultivators to cultivate spiritual consciousness, so Pei Yun felt that he had a better chance of competing in this competition.

The monks who were participating in the competition, including City Lord Zhao, who were sitting in front of her, had sad faces, as if the competition was almost over.

"City Lord, none of us have practiced any skills related to spiritual consciousness and soul, so this competition is very risky..."

"...Don't worry. Look at the people in the surrounding small cities. They all look worried. They are probably the same as us..."

"What the city lord said is true. Not to mention the cultivators in our small city, even the Jindan-stage cultivators in those big cities cannot learn those spiritual consciousness techniques. These spiritual consciousness techniques are only available to high-level cultivators... It's the same for everyone..."

……

"The monks from each city who are competing, please line up and enter after receiving your soul jade tokens from me..."

Pei Yun followed City Lord Zhao and others to line up in front of the pagoda. She looked around and caught a glimpse of Duanmu Hong waving at her excitedly. She didn't want to attract criticism in public, so she just smiled at him.

"Sixth brother, who are you waving at?" Duanmu Qin asked curiously. Next to her was Yang Jie, who had accompanied her in the small secret realm before. The Yang family was also one of the aristocratic families, so the two of them had already been engaged.

"Sister, you know, it's the secret realm in the Desolate Sky Valley. I traveled there with a girl from the sect for a few days. I introduced her to you, Junior Sister Pei Yun Pei... Oh no, now I should call her Senior Sister Pei. She is there, ready to represent her city to enter the pagoda to participate in the competition." Duanmu Hong pointed in the direction of Pei Yun.

Duanmu Qin also had some impression, but what shocked her at this moment was: "Miss Pei actually participated in the competition, so her cultivation level..."

Duanmu Hong nodded: "Her cultivation is higher than mine now, probably in the middle stage of foundation building."

Duanmu Qin was so shocked that she was speechless. She had seen Pei Yun before. Pei Yun was younger than her sixth brother, but his cultivation was even better. Doesn't that mean her talent is even stronger than Duanmu Hong? You know, Duanmu Hong is already the most talented youngster in this generation of the royal family.

"Sixth brother, after this competition is over, take fourth brother to meet Miss Pei. Miss Pei's alchemy skills are amazing. I bought a pill she made. Even the alchemists in the palace would find it difficult to make a pill of this quality!" Duanmu Yi also came over, put his arm around Duanmu Hong's shoulders and pleaded with a smile on his face.

“Humph! Her alchemy skills can never compare to those of my Cui family…” Cui Lan felt jealous, but his face showed disdain. “Besides, she is just a little girl in the middle stage of foundation building with no experience, yet she dares to represent her city in the competition. The strength of this city is too weak. None of the other cities present sent a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building…”

Cui Lan was not the only one who had this idea. Apparently, people from other cities, including the royal family, also thought so.

The other cultivators standing in front, behind, and around Chi Ningcheng couldn't help but glance at him and whisper to each other when they saw that Chi Ningcheng actually had a little girl in the middle stage of foundation building participating in the competition. The sneering voices and sarcastic looks were all focused on them...

Except for Pei Yun who remained calm and ignored the gossip, the other ten people from Chi Ning City, including City Lord Zhao, lowered their heads with grim expressions. City Lord Zhao even regretted his decision to let Pei Yun participate in the competition for a moment.

After finally getting the Soul Jade Card, Chi Ningcheng and his ten companions entered the pagoda together.

The interior of the pagoda is also made of soul jade. In the center of the tower, there is a huge magic array operating. At the top of the magic array, there is a huge soul stone that is transparent but emits colorful dazzling light, supporting the operation of the magic array. Below the magic array is a teleportation array with a complex totem.

Ten people stood on the teleportation array, and as the elder said before, they injected their spiritual consciousness and engraved the three words Chi Ningcheng. In an instant, a colorful light shone down from the top, covering the bodies of the ten people. After a few moments, everyone disappeared...

Pei Yun only felt that the light was dazzling, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block the light and closed his eyes. When he came to his senses, he had arrived in a small room.

The room was surrounded by walls on three sides and there was only a wooden door. She thought about it and a sword appeared in her hand.

She looked down at herself. She was wearing the same goose yellow dress as when she came in, and there was a dull soul jade plate on her waist. She pinched her arm and it felt just like the real thing. This soul jade pagoda was magical! The reality of this illusion was too strong.

Pei Yun calmed herself and walked towards the door cautiously. She noticed that with every step she took, the square bricks on the ground would move completely. This scene was a bit like the secret space she had entered before - the Realm of Void. Could it be that the space was moving?

A strange thought flashed through her mind, but before she could think about it carefully, the door that was one step away from her disappeared and turned into a white wall like the surrounding ones. At the same time, a door appeared behind her and was kicked open by someone. A long knife appeared behind Pei Yun's head in an instant.

In a flash, Pei Yun bent down with her quick reaction and dodged the first wave of attacks. She then had time to see the person who attacked her. He was a middle-aged bearded man. Now they were both souls, so it was impossible to tell who was stronger or weaker.

The two of them didn't waste any time and started fighting desperately. Pei Yun used the Wind-Fixing Palm and then used the Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique with the sword. After Luo Qi's guidance and her own observation and comprehension for a period of time, her sword technique had shown signs of some success.

However, she did not expect the opponent to be so vulnerable. After she used a few moves, the opponent's soul shadow collapsed and turned into a white light that entered her soul jade. Her soul jade lit up for a moment and then returned to dimness.

What's going on?! The lowest level of cultivators in each city is the late foundation building stage. How could she, who is only in the middle stage of foundation building, kill one so easily? She didn't even show her strength!

No! Pei Yun suddenly perked up, with an indescribable joy on her face. She understood! This is the Soul Jade Pagoda, and what is being compared is the soul! Didn’t she know it before? In this pagoda, the strength of the soul is equivalent to the strength of the cultivation, so her mutated and cultivated powerful soul can easily kill those whose souls are weaker than hers!

Pei Yun no longer hesitated and hurried into the open door. There was a white light inside the door and he couldn't see anything clearly.

When she entered, she was already standing in the center of the room like last time. The surrounding environment was also the same as the previous room, with walls on three sides and only a closed wooden door.

This time Pei Yun stood still and did not move. She just lowered her head and observed the stone bricks under her feet. After about an incense stick of time, the stone bricks moved again. Even though she did not take a step, the door moved in front of her by itself.

She pushed open the wooden door without hesitation, and a figure flew over. This time Pei Yun was prepared and used the Nine Profound Golden Sword Technique again. She wanted to take this opportunity to hone this sword technique.

The cultivator he encountered this time was stronger than the last time. After dozens of moves, there was no winner. However, the opponent's soul power was exhausted and automatically dissipated into Pei Yun's soul jade card...

At the same time, a huge soul jade tablet was suspended above the pagoda outside, and the real-time points and rankings of each city began to be displayed on it. There were twenty-three cities plus the imperial city, a total of twenty-four. Chi Ning City unexpectedly did not rank last, but ranked twentieth and obtained five points.

The two cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage who had been killed and came out early looked at the Soul Jade Monument excitedly. These two were killed by others before they had time to kill anyone, so they didn't get any points. Soon, another cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage also came out with nothing. All the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage in Chi Ningcheng except Pei Yun came out.

Pei Shi did not sit in his seat anymore. He stood up excitedly, staring at the Soul Jade Stele without blinking, his heart full of expectations and concern for Pei Yun.

"Such a young girl..."

This time, the monk Pei Yun met did not take action immediately. Instead, he looked at her young face and praised her. He held a folding fan in his hand and waved it gently, and the fan emitted a faint floral fragrance towards her.

Pei Yun's face was cold, his expression was firm and calm, and he was not at all affected by his illusion. "Your Lihuan Grass is of no use to me, don't waste your energy."

After he finished speaking, he rushed forward with a sword in hand. The cultivator on the opposite side was not a pushover either. Seeing that the Li Huancao could not confuse her, he immediately threw out two darts from his sleeves. Pei Yun snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he blocked them with a water light escape move.

"Since you are good at illusion, try my illusion finger..."

She put her fingers together, with blue soul power shining through her fingertips. She drew the fourth style of Phantom Finger totem in the air and attacked his face.

The man only felt a mist in front of his eyes. When he came to his senses, Pei Yun's sword had already pierced his body. The moment before he disappeared, his face was full of shock. He never thought that he would die at the hands of a little girl.

Pei Yun's Soul Jade Card flashed three times this time. At the same time, Chi Ningcheng's accumulated points on the Soul Jade Monument in the outside world increased by three points, and his ranking also moved to 19th place, the same score as the 18th place.

The monks in Chi Ning City were very excited and speculated one after another -

"It must be City Lord Zhao. Only a city lord can be so powerful..."

"Among the ten of us, only the city lord has this ability."

"Hey! Why hasn't Pei Yun come out yet?"

"That's right! Even though two Jindan-stage cultivators were sent out by the five major families, she hasn't been killed yet..."

Now there are still five cultivators in Chi Ning City, including Pei Yun, who have not come out. For a moment, the faces of the cultivators in Chi Ning City looked a little weird. This little guy with the lowest cultivation and the youngest age can actually hold on better than these old guys.

The five monks who have entered know that it is impossible to avoid fighting inside the pagoda. At the latest within one stick of incense, even if you do not move, the pagoda will automatically allow two people to meet, and the two people must be from different cities, so it is impossible not to fight.
