Refine the soul

  At this moment, the inner gate elders standing on the high platform all had doubts in their hearts. What was going on with this inner gate competition that it could actually stir up four great elders to come at the same time?

  These four are rare guests who may not be seen for a hundred years, and only one person in the Supreme Mysterious Yang Sect can invite them. How could it be that all four have come at once? It seems that this situation has not occurred in over a century. I vaguely recall that the last time these four appeared together was during the birthday celebration of the Supreme Elder Wan Zai Shou.

  Outside the trial grounds, those inner disciples who had been eliminated were now filled with regret. They couldn't perform well in front of the four great elders, which was indeed a lifelong regret. As for those inner disciples who were still competing in the trial grounds, they all went all out to display their strongest abilities, striving to bring out their full potential.

  Of course, there are still many who maintain their original fighting style and rationality, and these people are not among the few who are likely to be promoted in this inner door competition.

  The battle is undecided, the fight is unceasing. The top five of the foundation stage were born first, followed by the top five of the enlightenment stage and the fusion stage, which are also freshly baked. Only the spiritual movement stage, the highest group, is still in progress.

  A master can have a spiritual realm to cultivate and practice divine powers, this alone makes the duration of combat between masters in the spiritual realm far exceed that of the other three realms.

  Up until now, there are still seventeen disciples within the Lingdong Sect who have qualified, and even the weakest among them has already won more than three matches.

  Four people achieved the proud record of winning ten consecutive games, and these four were none other than Wan Qiushui, Feng Liuyun, Li Lingyun, and Nie Manshan, who had been selected by Tianxuanzi and others.

  However, even for them, after ten consecutive defeats, they also chose to give up defending the title and slowly recover their energy before fighting again.

  It is precisely for this reason that Chu Yi, who has already won 12 consecutive games, has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone present.

  In this kind of consecutive fighting method, the later the cultivator appeared on stage, the stronger their strength was. With just "Overbearing Strike", Chu Yi could no longer maintain his ability to defeat his enemies with a single blow.

  Fuheng Shenguang, Jiemie Jinyan, Bajiquan, Shunquanpo, and even the first turn of Wujue Jiuzhuan - Difei Bu mie. Chu Yidou has already taken turns using them, only then can one achieve victory at the smallest cost.

  Even so, he had no choice but to take the last "Yixi Dan" after the eleventh consecutive victory to replenish his depleted vitality.

  On the high platform, the four great gods of the elements looked at the six paths with their eyes, seeing through everything. They didn't show much surprise towards the strong momentum of Autumn Water, Wind Flowing Clouds, Li Lingyun and Nie Mengshan, but Chu Yi, who rose like a wise star, was enough to shock them.

  "Zhou Changlao, who was the one who fought twelve rounds in a row?"

  Tian Fanzi casually asked, and a senior elder of the Yuanying True Lord's inner sect immediately stepped forward respectfully and replied: "Reporting to the Great Elder, this child is the first disciple of Chunyangzi, and also his only disciple. He was introduced into our sect two years ago, with the surname Chu and the name Yi, with a cultivation at the peak of the 9th realm of Lingdong."

  "Only two years in the sect?" Tian Fanzi's calm and peaceful eyes suddenly lit up with two points of light, as if he was thinking: "Wasn't he a loose cultivator before entering the sect?"

  "No, this child's cultivation at the time of entering the sect was only at the pre-heavenly boundary..." Elder Zhou replied truthfully.

  "Oh?!" Even Tiān Gāngzǐ, who was standing beside Tiān Fánzǐ, couldn't help but exclaim: "Two years of cultivation to reach the ninth realm of Língdòng, this kind of progress is even faster than that little girl Língyún."

  Zhou Chang Lao nodded and replied, "This child has indeed obtained the Pure Yang Subtlety. A year ago, Pure Yang Zi fought against Ling Yang Zhen Jun at the Gate of Life and Death, all because he was defeated by Bai Qian Yu's three punches."

  "Chunyangzi, this little fellow's temperament is quite similar to that of Tianxuan Shixiong, haha."

  Tian Qingzi heard the words, smiled lightly and said: "I've indeed heard of this matter. In that case, it's for the best. Chun Yangzi should have broken through to the Yuan Ying realm long ago. This battle will give him a chance to make up his mind, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for him. However, it's a pity that Ling Yangzi's spiritual body was destroyed and his cultivation suffered a great setback."

  "Do I have a bodyguard?"

  Tian Xuanzi's mouth curled up with a faint smile, as if he was saying: "Now that you mention it, I seem to recall something. This Chu Yi is indeed the person who has been constantly mentioned in front of me... In just two years, he has actually cultivated to the ninth realm of Lingdong. It seems that I was momentarily negligent and shouldn't have overlooked this child."

  Tian Xuanzi's profound and mysterious gaze was cast afar, towards the location of Chu Yi. The latter, who had been standing still to recover his energy, suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon him, as if a boundless force had struck him. His internal spiritual energy burst forth involuntarily, unleashing a blast of divine light that enveloped his surroundings, yet it was still unable to withstand this formless and traceless crushing pressure.

  A strange and indescribable force suddenly merged into Chu Yi's body, and in an instant, it melted away like ice and snow, leaving no trace behind. This made Chu Yi shudder inexplicably, the feeling was as if he had jumped naked into a river on a cold winter's day.

  A flash of divine light flickered in Tian Xuanzi's eyes, and then disappeared. Along with it, the enormous intangible pressure that made even Chu Yi unable to muster any resistance also vanished suddenly.

  "Senior brother, it's been a long time since I've seen you use this 'Tianmu Jianling Dafa'."

  Tian Qingzi chuckled softly and said, "Isn't it that Shifu has started to take a liking to this little guy?"

  Tian Xuanzi smiled ambiguously, first nodding his head and then slightly shaking it: "Under my Tianmu Jianling Great Method, all evil spirits must be exposed. His cultivation has improved too quickly, it's unbelievable. I need to test him out, can't let the people of the Demon Dao Eight Sect mix into our sect."

  "Still, Elder Brother has thought it through thoroughly."

  Tian Qingzi's mouth responded, but in his heart, he secretly smiled and thought, "This Tianmu Jianling Great Method is not just a technique for seeing through evil spirits and demons. It can also discern the high or low quality of the person being subjected to the method. Apart from this, if the person being subjected to the method is not an evil spirit or demon, they will also benefit from it. In the future, it's hard to say that they won't be invaded by all kinds of demons, but at least they can avoid most yin and yang magic."

  But suddenly being invaded by an alien force for no reason, Chu Yi was also shocked in his heart. Under the subconscious reaction, his gaze turned to the high platform.

  "How is it that the cultivation strength of those four people can't be seen through at all?" Amidst his astonishment, Chu Yi quickly obtained a lot of information from the discussions and comments coming from outside the arena.

  "It's actually the Four Great Divine Sovereigns of the Heavenly Character Generation, the four great elders who have arrived in person. With their identity and status, they would actually come to observe the Inner Sect Grand Competition?"

  Chu Yi was still pondering when another cultivator entered the trial grounds, surprisingly a familiar face.

  "Chu Shidi, I'll give you half an hour to recover your energy, and then we'll fight again." Nie Manshan said loudly, who had been expecting a battle with Chu Yi since their first meeting.

  Upon hearing this, Chu Yi bowed his head in gratitude and then laughed heartily: "Nie Shixiong, it seems you're really itching for a fight, haha! I've already recovered my energy, no need to wait any longer. Let's have a thrilling match!"

  "Alright, let's have a good fight!"
