The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

After winning the fight, the disciples of the Wuding Sect proudly moved into the manor they fought for in Jicheng. They happily split the inn without paying the compensation. In the next two days, they were shopping in Snowstorm City. I feel like I am holding my head up higher than before.

Two days later, after the maintenance and adjustment of the flying boat was completed, Jicheng took the disciples of Wuding Sect on the flying boat and set off again to the far north ice field - as for Pangumen and others? Still lying in bed recovering from his injuries.

The Far North Icefield is at the North Pole of the Fairyland. Looking ahead and behind it, it is completely barren. There is nothing but vast tracts of ice and snow, and not even many spiritual beasts can survive here. There is only one lonely small city standing there in the ice field. Except for the sect competition that happens every 150 years, there is no one there.

Therefore, most people don’t know the reason why the sect competition is held here.

In order to boost the GDP of remote areas in the fairyland?

The Wuding Sect's five flying boats landed in Jibei City. The moment they walked out of it, even the disciples at the Nascent Soul stage felt a heartbreaking coldness.

The skilled elders had already put on their coats and walked out first.

Yuan Chenxianzun received the news earlier and was waiting in Icefield City.

He was wearing a fur cloak, and underneath he was still wearing a black suit, and he stood out in the ice and snow. Immortal Master Yuan Chen had a pair of wonderful eyes and a smile, and said very gently to the disciples who came out of the flying boat: "Everyone has worked hard all the way here."

As the leader of the Wuding Sect and a great master of the Mahayana period, Yuan Chen Xianzun still has a great image in the hearts of many disciples. When he spoke like this, many disciples who were originally feeling cold and uncomfortable immediately became shocked, shook their heads and replied loudly: "No hard work, no hard work, just serve the sect!"

Immortal Master Yuan Chen smiled and said: "Our Wuding Sect has a special residence in Icefield City. Now it is ready there. You should hurry over."

After saying that, two figures behind him hurried forward: "Dear guests, please come with us."

The figure of Yuan Chen Xianzun faintly dissipated in the wind, obviously having left.

The noble lord of the sect is busy with things, so it is understandable that he only appeared for a moment - and even for just a moment, it was enough to make many disciples excited.

Only Jicheng sneered in the crowd.

When they arrived at their residence, when Ji Cheng entered the room of his chief disciple, he saw Yuan Chen Immortal with his feet up and eating grapes.

The guy had already taken off his cloak, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it's still warm in the room."

Jicheng: "You still feel cold during the Mahayana period?"

The wind in the extreme north is fierce, but if it can make even the Mahayana stage tremble with cold, how can those disciples of the Golden Elixir stage and Nascent Soul stage survive?

Immortal Lord Yuan Chen didn't care at all: "It's just a matter of time."

He destroyed two bunches of grapes like a storm, and finally he was willing to raise his head to look at Jicheng: "I haven't seen you in a hundred years. Your cultivation is progressing very well!"

"This is almost the peak of Nascent Soul!"

Speaking of this, Jicheng also remembered something. He glanced at Yuanchen Immortal with a smile, and asked in a strange way: "Master, where is the hundred thousand year crystal jade that you worked so hard to find for me?"

Yuan Chen Immortal Lord: "..."

However, he quickly said confidently: "Disciple, your cultivation consumes resources so quickly. It is a bit wasteful to give these hundred thousand years of crystal jade to you directly. Therefore, I will keep it for you first and wait for you." I’ll give it to you after I’m two thousand years old.”

Jicheng: "Huh."

"But," Yuan Chen Xianzun changed the topic, "If you can lead our Wuding Sect to first place in this sect competition, then I can also use this hundred thousand year crystal jade as a gift in advance. Reward for you!"

Jicheng was a little surprised: "So generous?"

"Yes, yes," Immortal Lord Yuan Chen changed his position and lay down, his tone was like a weak Liu Fufeng, "Humans, you still have to have a sense of sect honor."

"Really? I thought you had no such thing at all."

Yuan Chen Immortal Lord: "..."

The two of them came and complained for a while, and Jicheng also found a seat to sit down cross-legged and asked: "Okay, then tell me what this sect competition is all about."

Although he was only moderately interested in the 100,000-year-old crystal jade, Jicheng was still very interested in the so-called number one in the sect.

First, Ji Nanling has never taken this thing, right?

Seeing Jicheng's inquiry, Yuanchen Xianzun also sat up a little straighter and began to talk to Jicheng - originally he came here today just to talk to Jicheng about this: "In the sect competition, the method of each competition is actually They are all similar, they are all sent by major sects to enter the Demon Cave——"

"Devil's Cave?"

Immortal Master Yuan Chen nodded: "After being promoted to Jindan, you should have taken over the mission hall to find the 'devil', right?"

——Ji Cheng had heard the word demon from his fellow sect member Liang Xiaochen when he first went down the mountain for training. After his apparent strength reached the Golden Core level, Jicheng had indeed received such a word. Task.

But in fact, there is nothing gained.

Jicheng once took apart the so-called detector, and found nothing else except that it was probably a specific kind of tracker.

And now I heard what Immortal Master Yuan Chen said, this "Devil's Cave" and that "evil" should be related to each other?

Immortal Master Yuan Chen's eyes were distant: "That was indeed a catastrophe tens of thousands of years ago - anyway, I was not even born when the so-called evil disaster happened."

So it does sound very far away.

"I can't tell exactly how the demonic trouble came about," Yuan Chen Xianzun said very calmly, "but what I know is that after the first demonic trouble was eliminated, because of the negligence of those old immortals - well, Probably during my master’s generation, there was a second demonic disaster in the immortal world.”

"At that time, the land of the fairy world was full of demons, with people starving to death and blood flowing into the sea. Fortunately, because of the experience of eradicating the demons for the first time, and following the methods left by our ancestors, everyone successfully eliminated the demons again and gave birth to them. The biggest demon and its younger brothers are sealed under the extreme northern ice field, which is the so-called Demon Cave. "

Jicheng: "...So the mission of the sect competition should be to destroy the biggest demon, right?"

Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to the sect masters and elders like Yuan Chen Xianzun to handle? Why call ordinary disciples here? Shouting cheers to add to the fun?

"Oh, that's not the case," Yuan Chen Xianzun said, "The strength of that big demon is already at the stage of transcending tribulation. If it were me, I might not be able to defeat it."

"Relying on the suppressing artifact left by our ancestors, the big demon can only passively fall into a deep sleep. However, it is full of demonic energy and nourishes the little demons. At the same time, if it leaks out, it will also harm the entire fairy world - by the way, this This is also the reason why every sect will send disciples to search for traces of evil spirits in places that were once plagued by evil spirits."

"So taking advantage of the opportunity of each sect competition, each sect will send a team of disciples into the demon cave to clear out the overflowing demon energy and little demons - and the results of the sect competition will be based on the clearing results of different sects. Calculation of the number of demons and demons.”

"The reason why we sent a team of disciples is because once the suppressing artifact is activated, it will suppress the existence within its coverage range without distinction. Once the strength reaches or exceeds the god transformation stage, it will be automatically sealed."

Jicheng was thoughtful.

If considered in terms of actual strength, his current cultivation has already exceeded the stage of becoming a god... That so-called suppressing artifact won't seal him as well, right?

"Isn't this information necessary to be shared with disciples?" He suddenly asked.

Somewhat surprised by Jicheng's sensitivity, Yuanchen Xianzun nodded: "Indeed."

"Actually, I don't need to tell you the detailed information about the Demon Cave," he said. "Ordinary disciples participating in the sect competition only need to know that their Demon Cave is a remnant of the Demonic Disaster Era, and they go in to clean it out. The remnants of monsters and evil spirits.”

"But why does Master insist on me talking to you?" He glanced at Jicheng and sighed, "I'm getting more and more curious about your identity."

"Okay, I have completed the task," Yuan Chen Xianzun stood up and stretched, "Go back and drink -"

*

There are at least hundreds of sects in the immortal world that are qualified to participate in the sect competition. Wuding Sect arrived relatively early, and in the next five days, other sects gradually arrived - like It was Pangumen who had been beaten on the road, and he was the last one to arrive.

However, they are worthy of being a physical training sect. The sect competition has officially begun. When the Wanzong team gathered, Jicheng took a special look at the Pangu sect team: Lian Fulu and his junior brother were standing at the head of the group. They were originally discounted. His arm looked completely healed.

The resilience is strong!

In the sect competition, thousands of sects come to court. In this case, it is impossible to elect a single sect to preside over it. Therefore, usually, each sect competition is hosted by the five strongest sects from the previous session. A sect leader, together with the Icefield City Lord, presided over the opening ceremony of the entire sect competition.

Wuding Sect was also among the top five in the last sect competition, so Yuan Chen Immortal Lord also appeared at the opening ceremony.

There is actually nothing much to say about the entire opening ceremony. It is basically a speech by the five sect masters and the Lord of Icefield City, introducing the content of the entire competition - Yuanchen Immortal Lord has already popularized this stuff to Jicheng before, so Jicheng Hearing this, I felt a little uninterested.

Judging from Yuan Chen Xianzun's expression, he actually felt quite bored.

Fortunately, the entire speech did not last long, and everything that needed to be said was said in about a quarter of an hour. So the five sect leaders waved their hands, and the disciples participating in the sect competition were ordered according to the ranking order of the previous session. Teleport into the Demon Cave.

After entering the Demon's Nest, Jicheng looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but sigh: From a certain perspective, this place may be more appropriately called the Demon's Nest - the nest of the Beehive.

Because there are so many holes inside! !

Jicheng and the two hundred disciples behind him stood in the devil's cave. He didn't know the specific direction, but anyway, looking around, there were criss-crossing passages in all directions, and he had no idea where they would lead.

How should I put it, if there were trypophobia patients in their team, they would have fainted by now.

Jicheng didn't have time to check the surroundings anymore, because dark airflow gradually gathered in mid-air, forming a strange and unknown creature that rushed towards them with its teeth and claws.
