The 70th Anniversary Commemoration Conference

  It's not easy for a newcomer to write a book, I hope everyone will recommend and encourage me with votes, let Xian Nian's achievements rise to the next level, which will be the greatest motivation for Bad Bad, thank you all for your rewards!

  More than ten days later, in front of the Tianxuan Sect gate, a gray-clad figure holding a token was nodded at by the guarding disciple and allowed to pass. The gray-robed youth smoothly entered the Tianxuan Sect, who was Shi Sheng, one of the disciples who had escaped from Wugu Mountain after being chased.

  "Shut up, you little thing! You're disturbing me to death!" Shi Sheng yelled and immediately returned to Gu Xiang Zhai.

  Lin Wan'er was sweeping the floor when she saw Shi Sheng return, and immediately smiled: "Ah Sheng is back, must be tired from the journey, quickly sit down and rest for a while, I'll go cook for you!"

  Waaah!

  A golden light burst out from the sleeve, jumped onto the wooden table, let out a loud breath, and its small belly suddenly shriveled up. Jin Ling then weakly touched his belly.

  "Are you hungry too?" Lin Wan'er smiled with a curved eyebrow.

  Squeak squeak.

  Jin Ling hastily nodded, then pointed to Shi Sheng, covered his mouth with his hand, but he himself was desperately trying to shout non-stop, occasionally rubbing his belly, and a look of innocence on his face.

  "Are you hungry, and Big Brother won't let you speak up?" Lin Wan'er smiled, Jin Ling jumped onto Lin Wan'er's hand with a "ting", and grinned mischievously.

  Seeing this, Shi Sheng suddenly remembered the scene where this little thing met Li Yan, and his face turned black in an instant. He shouted loudly: "Jin Ling, get down for me, or I'll strip your skin off."

  Waaah!

  Jin Ling called out in a somewhat aggrieved tone, then jumped back onto the table with a reluctant air. Lin Wan'er smiled to herself, covering her mouth with her hand, but didn't ask any questions as she hurriedly cooked dinner for Shi Sheng.

  Before long, the dishes were served, and a string of bananas was also brought up. Jin Ling was devouring them voraciously on the side. On this journey, not to mention that Jin Ling hadn't eaten much, even Shi Sheng hadn't eaten much, as they had been tightly pursued by those few guys from Wugu Mountain all along.

  "What happened unexpectedly on the road?" Lin Wan'er seemed to see that Shi Sheng had some worries.

  After a moment's thought, Shi Sheng roughly recounted the events, but didn't mention anything about taking action, so as not to worry Lin Wan'er. Nevertheless, Lin Wan'er still furrowed her delicate eyebrows slightly.

  "By the way, there's this little thing that took advantage of Miss Liyan's kindness. Wanyi sister, don't hold it again in the future. This little thing is too cunning and shameless, almost more so than...!" Shisheng was about to say "more shameless than me", but hastily changed his words.

  "Hmph, it's still so small, how can it understand so much? It's just you thinking wildly all day, holding it is no different from a child. Besides, it's not human!" Lin Wan'er didn't mind, and lovingly looked at Jin Ling again.

  "In short, don't let it happen again, be more careful!" Shi Sheng's face turned serious.

  "Is Ah Sheng sulking? Hehe, okay, Sister Wan'er will listen to you, hurry up and eat!" Lin Wan'er said with a helpless smile, in a tone similar to coaxing a child.

  The two of them chatted and laughed, with Jinling as the catalyst, the joyful voices in Gu Xiangzhai increased even more. As for the two of them competing with each other, Jinling was completely unaware, indulging in food, drink, and play, becoming the little emperor of Gu Xiangzhai.

  For the next few days, Shi Sheng did not go out. With the threat of Huo Wei, Shi Sheng felt that he needed to advance to Yuanhe Realm as soon as possible, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage when encountering the sect.

  Shi Sheng sat alone in the room, his eyes slightly narrowed as he muttered to himself: "I don't know what kind of background this Huo Wei has, but Elder Xiao is being so cautious, even saying that if I mention that matter again, it will bring no small trouble."

  I remember that day, Huo Wei also said the same thing. From now on, it's better to be careful. Who knows, once leaving Tianxuan Sect, he might really dare to make a killer move and kill his fellow disciples. However, for the grudge last time, I will definitely return it twofold!

  Shi Sheng clenched his fists, feeling that his own strength was still insufficient. No matter how well Elder Xiao treated him, wanting to save his life still depended on himself. From now on, Shi Sheng had an even more urgent desire for power.

  After several days of meditation and seclusion, Shi Sheng swallowed the three Xuanling Pills, and on the eighth day of returning to the sect, when the power of the third Xuanling Pill was exhausted, a significant change occurred in his spiritual realm.

  Shi's consciousness projected into the spiritual realm, floating in mid-air as he watched the changes in this place. The sea of his mental energy had almost doubled in size, but after taking the third Xuanling Dan, he felt like it didn't have any effect anymore. It seemed like there was an invisible force suppressing the growth of his mental energy within the spiritual realm, making it extremely difficult to increase, as if he had hit a bottleneck!

  "This Xuanling Dan is really good stuff, now it should have reached the Huanghai realm of Dacheng. If there was no Ningzhi Dan, I'm afraid it would be impossible to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Yuanhe realm!"

  However, at the beginning, before reaching the Great Perfection, it was possible to barely mobilize the Spiritual Treasure, almost like that evil cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Sea of Qi. I wonder what level the Great Perfection has reached now!" As Shi Sheng spoke, his mind stirred and a beam of light shot out from within his sleeve.

  Whoosh!

  A palm-sized ancient bronze shield appeared in mid-air, and with a surge of thick spiritual energy within Shi Yong's mind, the ancient bronze shield trembled slightly and its volume suddenly expanded to the size of a human head. Shi Yong didn't stop there.

  Under the operation of the sea of thought, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the ocean, and a vague shadow like a tree branch condensed from the sea of thought.

  Immediately afterwards, the branch-like mental shadow of Nian Li trembled slightly, bursting forth with a faint glow, and finally transformed into a kind of substantial pure mental force, pouring into the ancient bronze shield.

  A loud humming noise.

  The ancient bronze shield trembled slightly, and then in Shi Sheng's astonished gaze, its volume suddenly expanded again, becoming the size of a washbasin. Shi Sheng seemed to be exerting himself somewhat, but after a short while, he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer. Finally, he slowly withdrew his mental energy, and the shield also shrank back down to the size of a palm.

  "Huh? What's going on?" Shi Sheng was somewhat astonished to discover that the vague, illusory tree branch in Nian Hai Zhongnian's mind had not dissipated. It seemed to be a small tree about three feet tall, but it didn't seem solid and appeared as if it might dissipate at any moment.

  "This, could it be the legendary Nian Zhi? However, I haven't reached the Yuan He realm yet, so it shouldn't be possible to form a Nian Zhi. Although it's somewhat illusory, from Elder Xiao's description of the state, it's almost indistinguishable from a Nian Zhi! Shi Sheng felt some doubt, but without the support of a Nian Zhi, he also couldn't possibly propel his shield to the size of a washbasin."

  "Asheng, a senior fellow has sent a message, asking you to go to the Tianyuan Pavilion to attend the commendation meeting!" Just as Shisheng was thinking, Lin Wan'er's voice came from outside the door.

  "Got it!" Shi Sheng responded with a sound, and he didn't dare to delay either. He hastily put away the treasure, calmed himself down, and arrived at the Tianyuan Pavilion's grand hall!

  At this moment, the Great Elder Cold Yuan sat in the first seat in the hall, with more than a dozen elders sitting below him. Shi Sheng only recognized three of them: Elder Xiao, Elder Liu, and Elder Song. The rest were either unfamiliar or he didn't know how to address them.

  In the center of the hall stood more than 40 figures, who were Wu Qi and other new disciples who had participated in the trial last time. Today was the commendation meeting, and all the disciples who participated in the task outside the door were present. Guan Ping and Shi Sheng were naturally among them, but originally there were more than 50 people, now only over 40 people were left!

  "Song Changlao is also here, I don't know if this time's Cong Zhidan can be obtained smoothly!" Shi Sheng looked at Song Changlao and felt a slight unease in his heart.

  "Last time outside the door, some disciples unfortunately disappeared. The remaining survivors among you cannot relax or feel lucky, but must work even harder to cultivate, lest they fall behind others."

  Today is the commendation meeting for you new disciples. Those who performed exceptionally well in this task will be heavily rewarded, while those who made major mistakes will be severely punished!" Cold Yuan Dacheng said with a stern expression, his tone calm and authoritative! (End of chapter, next chapter will be even more exciting!)

  It's not easy for a newcomer to write a book, I hope everyone can recommend and vote to encourage me, it will be the greatest motivation for me, thank you all for your rewards!
