Chapter 341 Gong Lianyue's Power 8K (1/2)

Although Mu Zhian could already guess the result of the contest between Bai Ruoxi and Xiao Hua, he was still somewhat interested in this treasure-hunting rat who was suspected to be the chosen one, so he still planned to watch it at the Ascension Conference.

Moreover, even if this incident did not happen, Ruoxi's contest should naturally be seen.

"After losing to Senior Sister, I feel a lot more relaxed. Before, I had to worry about what to do if I lost. Now it's good... I can just lie down and mess up."

Mu Zhian sighed in his heart, and after entangled with Yao Meng in the quilt for a while, he reluctantly got out of bed.

He left the room, breathing the morning air, his eyes wandering carelessly in front of the courtyard, but he did not see the slender figure of the maid.

"It seems that the strength shown by Senior Sister yesterday made Sister Meng Rou feel pressured..."

Mu Zhian said in his heart.

He was a little surprised.

After all, every morning when he woke up, Mu Zhian could see the maids in the courtyard staring at the scenery, but today he could not see anyone. It seemed that the senior sister had put great pressure on Wei Mengrou yesterday, and she was still meditating in the room.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, and finally decided not to disturb Wei Mengrou for the time being.

He took out the first generation demon king ring from the ring, and then sat in front of the courtyard and injected a wisp of his spiritual consciousness.

Everything in front of him gradually became illusory. When Mu Zhian opened his eyes again, what appeared in his vision was no longer the courtyard of Tianhe Garden, but in front of a seemingly vast hall.

Yesterday, Yao Meng absorbed a lot of heavenly spiritual energy from his body, and now he naturally had to take this opportunity to absorb the lost heavenly spiritual energy into the natural furnace.

Ordinary cultivators could not absorb the heavenly spiritual energy in their entire lives, but Mu Zhian was the maker of the heavenly rules, so there was naturally no such restriction.

Buzz!

While absorbing the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Palace into the Tiansheng furnace, after nearly a quarter of an hour, Mu Zhian suddenly felt a slight vibration in the ring.

He suddenly opened his eyes and took out a small black box from the ring.

The black box left by the original witch.

The black box looked simple and unremarkable, but it was actually vibrating faintly at this time.

"Is the original witch also related to the Heavenly Palace? Or is the black box left by the original witch also one of the treasures in the Heavenly Palace?"

Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly opened the black box.

Boom!

Almost in the next moment, in the Heavenly Palace, the rich spiritual energy wrapped in a wisp of misty light rushed into the black box frantically.

And in the black box, there was a ray of light gushing out, and even a strange phenomenon appeared in the air.

"It stands to reason that only those who are recognized by the Heavenly Court can absorb the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court? Could it be that the original witch has also been to the Heavenly Court in the past?"

Mu Zhian's mind moved slightly, and he thought of this possibility.

However, he quickly gathered the messy thoughts in his mind. The time to absorb the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court is limited every day. These problems should be thought about slowly after returning.

Now the more important thing is to replenish the spiritual energy that was squeezed by Yao Meng last night... and Ruoxi's competition will start soon, so he has to hurry up.

...

After half an hour, Mu Zhian finished his meditation and came to the south bank, and saw Bai Ruoxi standing quietly in front of the competition platform.

The cold wind blew, and the snow-white palace skirt was close to her graceful figure. The plum blossoms embroidered on the fabric seemed to dance with it, highlighting Bai Ruoxi's beautiful face.

Not far opposite Bai Ruoxi, a handsome young man was standing there with his hands behind his back. He closed his eyes silently, as if he was adjusting his mentality.

Xiao Hua!

According to the current reactions, this person is likely to be the second chosen son of the Heavenly Dao of Jiuzhou.

Not far away, Xiao Shuixian saw Mu Zhian flying from the south bank on a sword.

It seems that he has just arrived.

"Mr. Mu, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come today."

Mu Zhian was still thinking about the black box.

But when he heard Xiao Shuixian's voice, he immediately restrained his thoughts and smiled: "I was indeed a little disappointed after losing yesterday, but I am also interested in today's competition, so I came to see it."

"Miss Xiao, are you here to see your brother's performance?"

Xiao Shuixian nodded gently, and then looked at the young man on the stage with a calm face, as if he had the breath of an otherworldly master, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Hua's various performances yesterday.

A person with weak spiritual consciousness since childhood, even Empress Luo Tan once said that it would be very difficult for Xiao Hua to refine high-quality elixirs with his weak spiritual consciousness.

But Xiao Hua did it yesterday.

This inevitably makes people suspicious.

Mu Zhian inadvertently took a few glances at the graceful figure of the gray-robed woman. It was winter, and she was wearing a gray robe and a hood. She tried to be as low-key as possible and did not seem to attract the attention of others.

But if you saw the face of this woman or even her identity, you would definitely be surprised. After all, Xiao Shuixian was one of the best among her peers in the most sacred Zunyun Academy in Yuzhou.

"Miss Xiao, is there anything wrong with your face? I feel that your face seems a little bit wrong?"

Mu Zhian looked at her with a concerned look and asked sincerely.

Xiao Shuixian woke up a little, looked at Mu Zhian with a complicated look, and then shook her head gently, saying: "It's okay..."

Xiao Hua's matter is a bit complicated, and she doesn't know how to explain it to Mu Zhian at the moment.

Should she tell him that she suspects that some kind of earth-shaking changes have taken place in her brother, and even that his body has been occupied by the spiritual consciousness of a certain ancient great power?

No one would believe such words, even if she told the maids around His Majesty Luo Tan, the other party would probably not believe it.

But no matter what, as long as she looks at her brother's performance in the competition today, she can probably see some clues.

After all, she is still very clear about what kind of skills Xiao Hua knows.

"Mr. Mu, who do you think will win today's competition?"

Xiao Shuixian changed the subject lightly and looked sideways.

Mu Zhian saw the woman's beautiful and refined face through the hood. Although the robe was slightly loose, the cold wind made the proud and upright chest particularly conspicuous, and the curve of the water snake waist was beautiful.

With years of experience, he could tell at a glance that it was a beauty in the world.

But Mu Zhian didn't stay on Xiao Shuixian for long. He soon looked up at the arena and said with a smile:

"I know about Ruoxi's strength, but Brother Xiao always feels that his spiritual consciousness is much stronger than the first time I saw him, so I don't know the outcome... either."

Xiao Hua's spiritual consciousness is stronger than before... Does Master Mu think so too?

Xiao Shuixian's mind moved, her rosy little mouth slightly opened, and she was about to speak.

At this time, the voice of an old man slowly sounded in front of the arena.

"Both sides are ready, the first match of the day is about to begin."

Seeing this, Xiao Shuixian stopped talking and focused her attention on the arena not far away.

And Mu Zhian casually glanced around. He didn't see the figures of Senior Sister and Sister Feiying today, so he thought he was going to concentrate on preparing for his next match.

But it's hard to choose between Feiying and Qian'er...

Sister Feiying started practicing a long time earlier than Qian'er. Qian'er is not very old, so it's highly likely that she won't be able to beat Sister Feiying... No matter who loses, just comfort her.

As for Senior Sister...

Mu Zhian seemed to have a headache and pinched his eyebrows.

It was naturally gratifying that Senior Sister was interested in him... But Senior Sister's personality was somewhat similar to that of a domineering female CEO in reality. If she entered the fish pond in the future, it would probably cause a huge uproar.

Especially if she won the Ascension Conference, it would be troublesome.

"I have to find a way to test Senior Sister's tone again and make plans early..."

Mu Zhian was thinking about this when the atmosphere in the cave was gradually tense.

Even the cultivators from the outside world noticed this terrifying atmosphere and swallowed their saliva secretly.

On one side is the proud disciple of Canghai Peak, and on the other side is one of the saints of Yuzhou. Although Xiao Hua sent this time is not the strongest, he is also the pride of Yuzhou, and is very likely to be a genius who will be able to refine the spirit and return to the void in the future.

No one knows who will win on both sides at this moment.

"I have heard of the name of Miss Bai Ruoxi before. Today, I see that she is indeed as rumored, a rare girl of heaven."

Xiao Hua showed a gentle smile, with that handsome face, which can be said to be magnificent.

But Bai Ruoxi ignored it, closed her eyes silently, and pretended not to hear it.

If the other party had no grudges with Mu Zhian, she might have replied politely.

However, Mu Zhian had said before that there were some grudges between him and Xiao Hua... Since they were enemies, there was naturally no need to care.

Moreover, although Xiao Hua could be called handsome, compared with a nobleman like Mu Zhian, his temperament alone was already a step behind.

Xiao Hua's smile remained unchanged, but there was an unknown anger rising in his heart.

A mere girl in the realm of refining spirits, if she were in her previous life, would she dare to give him no face?

But it doesn't matter. After today's competition is over, she will know that although they are both in the eighth level of refining spirits, the gap between them is like an unbridgeable gap.

The atmosphere here has begun to gradually brew, and at this moment in front of the Ascension Platform, Yao Meng has only arrived late at this moment.

She is as pure as the fairy in the eyes of the world in the past, with a faint arc on her pink lips, staring at the cave in the distance.

Luo Tan leaned on the chair and glanced at Yao Meng inadvertently.

And this glance made her pale golden eyes freeze on Yao Meng's face.

At this time, a strand of hair of the Green Emperor fell on her flawless face. Compared with the fairy spirit in the past, she seemed to have a bit more lazy fireworks today, with a kind of charming temperament, extremely charming.

"What's the matter?"

Yao Meng glanced at Luo Tan beside her, with a faint smile in her eyes.

Luo Tan shook his head gently and smiled lightly: "I just feel that Fairy Yao Meng's temperament today seems to be different from the past, so I am a little concerned."

Yao Meng's temperament today seems to be several times more attractive than in the past... But even Luo Tan couldn't tell what happened to her.

"It's just that I have some insights in cultivation." Yao Meng said lightly.

However, when this was said, both Luo Tan and Ye Qingxin were a little more surprised, and even many elders who heard the conversation between the two not far away looked over.

"After the integration of the Dao, it is impossible to make another half a step by practicing alone. How did Fairy Yao Meng gain new insights?" Luo Tan couldn't help but ask.

Ye Qingxin, who was the only one who knew the secret of Mu Zhian, looked at Yao Meng deeply, with some meaningful meaning.

The heavenly aura in Mu Zhian's body will be transformed into a more special aura after being transformed by the Tiansheng furnace. Judging from the various performances of the Qing Emperor, the perception she mentioned would not be...

However, under the gaze of everyone, Yao Meng just chuckled, and her green fingertips slowly passed along the tender white jade legs, and raised her head to look at a place under the Shengxian platform.

"Who knows."

Although she likes green people, she will not attract all the enemies of the Hedao realm.

The fewer Hedao realms who know the secret of the Tiansheng furnace, the better.

"The competition begins!"

Just at this time, the voice of the old man came from the front of the competition stage, and the fall of this voice also made people's attention fall on the front of the cave.

Buzz!

The long sword behind Xiao Hua was unsheathed under the vibration, accompanied by a humming sound, and the sword body seemed to have intertwined runes flashing, and the sense of pressure came towards Bai Ruoxi overwhelmingly.

Boom...

There was a deafening thunder in the cave, and when the sword was swung out, it seemed to turn into a thunder dragon, as if to swallow Bai Ruoxi.

As one of the holy sons of Yuzhou, even if the God King bone was taken away since childhood, at least the Empress Luo Tan also asked people to give him elixirs to nourish his body. Now Xiao Hua, his strength is naturally the best among his peers.

Although Bai Ruoxi is an inner disciple of Canghai Peak, you must know that there are many inner disciples of Canghai Peak. Although there are many resources that can be given, it is impossible to be so many that they can't be used up.

As for the Bai family behind her, it is impossible to give any great help.

Although the two are in the same realm, there is a gap in resources between the two. If it is a normal competition, how can Bai Ruoxi be Xiao Hua's opponent?

At the moment, everyone was watching this battle under the Ascension Platform, including some disciples of the Liangyi Sect, who were not optimistic about Bai Ruoxi's battle. Although they were biased towards their junior sister, they also knew that it would be extremely difficult for Bai Ruoxi to win.

Bai Ruoxi raised her palm and slapped the Thunder Dragon, with ancient runes flashing in her palm. That palm blasted the Thunder Dragon away, but she also stepped back a few steps.

"Not bad."

Xiao Hua nodded slightly, not surprised by the result of this attack, but with a bit of appreciation.

This Thunder Dragon smelted by runes was one of his moves in his previous life, and it was powerful, but the opponent was also an inner disciple of the Liangyi Sect, so it was normal for him to catch his attack.

"The situation is not optimistic, this Xiao Hua is really a child of destiny..."

Some cultivators frowned secretly and praised aloud.

"Bai Ruoxi's talent is high, but in actual combat, she is still a little worse than those who fight outside and have a murderous aura."

"I'm afraid the outcome of this battle has been decided."

Many cultivators have discussed and believed that Xiao Hua, a genius who has been tempered outside for many years in the past, is bound to be much stronger than Bai Ruoxi, a flower that grows in a greenhouse. At least Xiao Hua has won in terms of momentum.

After this fight, Bai Ruoxi is obviously at a disadvantage, which anyone with a discerning eye can see.

"Miss Bai, if you hide your shortcomings again, I'm afraid your Ascension Conference will end here."

Only Xiao Hua has a sharp eye, and he can see at a glance that Bai Ruoxi is deliberately hiding her shortcomings, and is not serious, and speaks in a calm tone.

"You are right."

Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly and glanced outside the cave inadvertently.

Although she couldn't see Mu Zhian, she knew that Mu Lang should be watching her outside at this moment.

Yesterday's incident with Lan Murian had already made her extremely angry. Now she remembered that this person was not only Mu Lang's enemy, but also had a contemptuous attitude of a superior, which naturally displeased this great beauty.

The next moment, a golden light lit up behind Bai Ruoxi, and then, from the golden light, the ancestral weapon symbolizing the strongest sword palace appeared silently in the cave.

Almost at that moment, all the swords inside and outside the cave made a buzzing sound, as if they were surrendering to this ancient bronze sword.

Xiao Hua used his spiritual energy to suppress the sword in his hand that seemed to be about to fly out of his hand at the first time, and his eyes were fixed on the bronze sword in Bai Ruoxi's hand.

"Ancestor weapon?" He narrowed his eyes and was secretly shocked.

Unexpectedly, an ordinary force of the Bai family could actually take out such a sacred object as the ancestral weapon...

After a brief shock, Xiao Hua quickly reappeared a faint smile on his face.

"Although I have the ancestral weapon, with Miss Bai's realm, how much spiritual energy will remain in the cauldron after she sacrifices the ancestral weapon?"

If a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm wants to sacrifice the bronze sword, he needs to inject at least 70% of the spiritual energy in the cauldron into it.

After all, the ancestral weapon is the weapon of the great master in the Hedao Realm before his death. To use the ancestral weapon is equivalent to awakening the ancestral spiritual consciousness in the ancestral weapon.

It can be said that as long as he blocks this attack, he will be the winner.

The couple are equally stupid. Mu Zhian had sacrificed the Heavenly Questioning Lock twice in a row before and won by a narrow margin.

Now Bai Ruoxi used the same method again...

However, he is completely different from Ye Yu.

When it is absolutely necessary, he can even forcefully use the secret method to break through the threshold of the Refining Spirit Realm.

It's a pity that your opponent is me.

Feel sorry, Bai Ruoxi!

There was a blazing fire on Xiao Hua's body, and lightning was wrapped around him.

With flying hair and hands behind his back, he looked like a young god king, with a confident and powerful expression.

Seeing Bai Ruoxi slashing out with the sword, Xiao Hua was not afraid at all and activated the secret method.

He punched out, and the fire burst out, and he actually blocked the fatal blow of Bai Ruoxi's bronze sword!

"This Xiao Hua is too strong!"

"He seems to be activating the secret method, and his strength is close to returning to the void!"

Outside the cave, many cultivators were filled with shock, and some female disciples were even more brilliant.

Xiao Hua's strength has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Only Luo Tan in front of the Ascension Platform couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look at the young man in the cave.

Xiao Narcissus was also stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

When did Xiao Hua learn this secret method...?

Also, not only his realm, but also his spiritual consciousness has become so strong at this moment, which is a bit wrong...

"Mr. Mu, it seems that the winner has been decided." Although she thought so, Xiao Shuixian still looked at Mu Zhian and said softly.

"Yes, the winner has been decided." Mu Zhian smiled leisurely.

Although both of them said that the winner had been decided, the people they thought were the winners were completely different.

After all, Bai Ruoxi's body was also full of Mu Zhian's natural furnace spirit. How could it reach the limit with just this level?

In the cave, with the two people's attack, dust and smoke rose everywhere. Xiao Hua still had his hands behind his back, his feet on the flying sword, staring at the slender white figure in the smoke, with a faint smile on his face.

"Miss Bai, do you want to continue? The winner has been decided."

After this attack, Bai Ruoxi's spiritual energy was mostly depleted, and after he activated the secret method, there was still nearly an incense stick of time to end, and the winner and loser were already decided.

The smoke dissipated silently, and Xiao Hua was just about to see the pale and exhausted look of Mu Zhian, the beautiful Taoist companion.

However, when he looked over, the smile on his face gradually solidified.

"The winner has indeed been decided." Bai Ruoxi said faintly.

After she sacrificed the ancestral weapon, the bronze sword had already disappeared silently.

However, the next moment, a grand and vast golden light lit up behind Bai Ruoxi!

The vast golden light lit up behind her like a tsunami, setting off the snow-white palace skirt into a noble golden color as bright as day.

Countless bronze swords emerged silently from the golden tsunami.

This shocking scene made the outside world silent for a moment.

Xiao Hua opened his eyes wide, staring at this scene in disbelief, his heart full of disbelief.

"How is it possible..."

You know, if a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm wants to sacrifice the ancestral spirit in the ancestral weapon, even if the family bloodline is pure, at least more than 60% of the spiritual energy must be sacrificed.

Even if Bai Ruoxi is the purest bloodline of the Bai family, after this attack, she can't sacrifice the bronze sword for the second time.

What's more... there are more than ninety bronze swords behind her at this moment!

Buzz!

The next moment, two bronze swords behind Bai Ruoxi were unsheathed, and the sword light flashed, rushing towards Xiao Hua.

In front of the Ascension Platform, even Luo Tan seemed a little stunned.

Until a moment later, she reacted almost immediately, slightly widened her beautiful eyes, and subconsciously said: "Gong Lianyue?!"

The time of the Sword Palace Master's Hedao was later than Luo Tan, but in the entire Jiuzhou, if there is a Hedao Realm with the strongest destructive power, it is Gong Lianyue.

It's not that Bai Ruoxi can continuously offer bronze swords to invite the spirits of ancestors, but she is the master of the Sword Palace, so how can she invite spirits?

Boom!

The vast golden ocean almost filled the entire cave, Xiao Hua's eyes were filled with reluctance and anger, and the spiritual consciousness in his body was furious.

I am a great master, but I was completely crushed by a stinky girl who was still wet behind the ears? !

No... How is it possible!

At this moment, Xiao Hua's heart was full of humiliation, and in the next moment, unprecedented power broke out in his body, and the terrifying spiritual pressure seemed to destroy Bai Ruoxi to death.

That was his spiritual consciousness in his previous life, the spiritual consciousness of the great enlightenment, which was equivalent to the suppression of blood, and the cultivators of the Refining God Realm could not resist it at all!

If you want to blame, blame your opponent for being me, little girl.

Xiao Hua's mouth curled up a faint arc, and his sight fell on Bai Ruoxi.

But this glance finally made Xiao Hua's eyes completely stagnant.

Clearly, the Bai Ruoxi he saw a moment ago was still a young lady in a white dress with a gentle temperament.

But when he blinked, what he saw was no longer a weak young lady, but a woman in a black and white interwoven dress with a more seductive and charming temperament.

She slowly opened her gorgeous eyes, staring at Xiao Hua calmly, and a black and red light appeared behind her. From that light, it seemed that three fox tails were shaking gently.

Puff!

As if looking at an unreachable abyss, a dense sense of fear overflowed from the bottom of his heart. Xiao Hua spurted out a mouthful of blood and retreated violently.

He covered his chest and gasped, with some lingering fear in his eyes.

At this time, the bronze sword turned into a golden light and fell down.

Xiao Hua's consciousness finally gradually fell into the endless darkness.

…

There was a deathly silence outside the venue.

Compared with Lan Mulian's near-crushing strength yesterday, Bai Ruoxi's performance today was even more shocking.

Lan Mulian's strength was so oppressive that others could not breathe, and Bai Ruoxi's strength shown today was extremely brilliant just from the techniques used in the fight.

In front of the Immortal Platform, Luo Tan's eyes were a little more meaningful. After taking a look at the scene in the cave, he said quietly: "In the past, I thought Concubine Shang Yan's acceptance of this bet was too abrupt, but today It seems that I made a mistake."

Bai Ruoxi alone is enough to crush fellow monks, not to mention there is also Lan Mulian in Liangyi Peak.

and……

Bai Ruoxi's methods were too similar to the master of the Sword Palace she knew in the past.

Does Qingdi also know about this?

Luo Tan turned his head slightly and glanced at Fairy Yao Meng beside him. Her expression was as usual, with no sign of surprise at all.

It seems...should Emperor Qing know about this?

In addition, Xiao Hua's performance just now is also surprising...

Surprising in every sense of the word.

Luo Tan looked deeply at Xiao Hua, who was already unconscious in the cave.

…

While the venue was still in deathly silence, among the crowd on the other side, Xiao Shuixian also had a solemn expression.

She stared straight at her unconscious brother, with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.

At this moment, Mu Zhian beside her suddenly patted her shoulder gently, and then a charming and gentle voice came to her ears: "Is Miss Xiao so worried about her brother? Don't worry, Ruoxi has something. Keep it, I think Brother Xiao will be fine.”

With that said, he took out another jade bottle from the Najie, looked at Xiao Shuixian and said: "This elixir can cure Brother Xiao's injury. If you don't mind, just accept it."

Xiao Shuixian slowly woke up from his previous thoughts, looked at Mu Zhian's gentle expression, and remembered Xiao Hua's bad attitude towards Mu Zhian last night, and couldn't help but feel a little more sorry for him.

I really don’t know what Xiao Hua is thinking. After having been in contact with Mr. Mu for some time, this Mr. Mu can be said to be humble and gentle, and the way and tone of his speech are also very comfortable. How could he be up to no good?

She wanted to think about it, but Xiao Shuixian still shook her head and politely rejected Mu Zhian, saying: "As for the elixir, Mr. Mu should keep it for himself. After that, the maid next to His Majesty Luo Tan will give him the elixir for treatment. Mr. Mu doesn't have to worry about him."

Mu Zhian shook his head and gave her a complicated look.

"It's not him that I'm worried about. It's just that Miss Xiao's face seemed a little solemn just now. I can't help but worry..."

At this moment, there was helplessness in his eyes, and a little bit of admiration hidden deep in his eyes.

After saying that, he smiled bitterly again and sighed softly: "That's all, it's okay..."

I only met him a few times, why did he...

Despite thinking this, Xiao Shuixian's pretty face still turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Then, she suddenly hesitated and said through the message: "Mr. Mu, Narcissus is actually concerned about something... but I think you might not believe it if I say it."

"I believe it." Mu Zhian said without hesitation.

"I didn't even say what it was, but Mr. Mu believed it?" Xiao Shuixian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "I believe everything you say."

Even Xiao Shuixian couldn't help but roll her eyes at Mu Zhian, knowing that the other party's words were obviously meant to please her.

But there was still a small hint of joy in my heart.

Afterwards, Xiao Shuixian straightened his thoughts for a moment, raised his head and stared into Mu Zhian's eyes, and said through a voice message:

"To be honest, ever since Mr. Mu said that my brother's alchemy was a bit strange, I started to have some doubts..."

Xiao Shuixian slowly told about his suspicions after seeing Xiao Hua last night, and Mu Zhian nodded frequently and listened carefully.

Until he heard the last part, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up with a faint arc.

It seems that Xiao Hua is really the chosen one.

After knowing this, it will be easier to handle.
