Chapter 140 Spirit Rain
Upon hearing this, the Xiaotian Sect's expression immediately darkened, and they suppressed their anger as they said:
"Zhaixinglou claims to be inherited from Benyuege, but any sect with some foundation knows that only our Xiaotian Sect has truly inherited the essence of Benyuege."
"Your Starry Sky Myriad Phenomena Technique is merely an incomplete version of the Heaven-Stealing and Sun-Changing Technique. Since the Star-Picking Tower is unwilling to give each other any face, then let's settle this in the arena with our true skills!"
After saying that, the leader of the Xiaotian Sect gave a perfunctory fist salute, then turned and left with the rest of the sect.
Zhu Wuyao listened with great amazement.
How could there be such a shameless sect on the continent of Mosang?
She walked over to Xu San'er, asked him for information, and asked:
"This Xiaotian Sect seems very confident; could it be that they have some hidden strength?"
Xu San'er laughed and said:
"They have no real skills, they're just a bunch of clowns."
"Then why would they dare to jump around like this in front of the Star-Picking Tower?"
Xu San'er actually knew some inside information about this matter. He looked around and gestured for Hua Yingting, who was listening in, to move closer as well, and whispered:
"The Xiaotian Sect is not a threat, but they seem to have some kind of business relationship with the Juque Sect."
With Xu San'er's explanation, Zhu Wuyao finally understood what was going on.
Xiaotian Sect is a lackey of Juque Sect. Although it is in the same northern camp as Zhaixing Tower, it was sown apart and they felt that Zhaixing Tower was not worthy of its name.
They even felt that the Star-Picking Tower had usurped their interests.
Regardless of their positions, vast territories, or long-standing traditions, the four major sects should all belong to them.
Perhaps in Xiaotian Sect's mind, Zhaixing Tower is the sect that has usurped their place.
But the Juque Sect kept a close watch on them all along.
If the Star-Picking Tower were to take action against the Howling Sky Sect, it might be used as an excuse to cause trouble.
The worst-case scenario would be that the Juque Sect, under the guise of "maintaining the stability of the Mosang Continent," sends its disciples to the north to forcibly provide relief to the suffering Xiaotian Sect disciples.
Perhaps while doing some relief work, they got lost and "accidentally" stumbled into the secret realm of the Star-Picking Tower, the sacred mountain, and the city's protective formation...
Fortunately, the Xiaotian Sect was really not respectable; it was just annoying to people.
The northern region of the Mosan Continent is vast, and since the Star-Picking Tower dislikes conflict, they didn't take it too seriously.
Zhu Wuyao had absolutely no goodwill towards these two treacherous sects.
No wonder Senior Sister Gu was so impolite.
"not only that!"
Xu San'er continued, "Did you see the clothes they were wearing?"
Zhu Wuyao nodded. When she first saw it, she felt that the clothes were very similar to the uniform of the Zhaixinglou.
Is there some explanation for this?
"They imitated the Star-Picking Pavilion's attire and won't admit it, which is fine, but the key issue is that other sects can't tell the difference!"
Zhu Wuyao understood immediately.
"They did bad things outside, and then claimed to be disciples of the Star-Picking Tower?"
"Yes! And they'll even use our reputation to swindle and deceive, and be treated like honored guests."
How could there be such a shameless sect in the world!
Hua Yingting almost laughed out of anger. She asked:
"How come I've never heard of this before?"
"Hey, isn't that because they're incompetent and weak? Not to mention other sects haven't even heard of this Xiaotian Sect, even our Zhaixing Tower doesn't take it seriously."
That makes sense. The Mosang Continent is full of sects, so even if the Star-Picking Tower wanted to find an opponent, it would look to the other three major sects.
If it weren't for the Xiaotian Sect's insistence on making its presence felt, the Zhaixing Tower would have never even noticed it.
Just as Hua Yingting was about to say something, a sudden commotion broke out in the hall, making it unusually lively.
Zhu Wuyao also went to look.
With the arrival of the four major sects, the hosts of the Mosang Continent took their places, and sects from other continents who came to participate in the grand event also entered one after another.
The bald monks, winged demons, and ferocious-looking Asuras only attracted a little attention.
Now entering are Zhao Hua Niang and Young Master Xiao from the Blissful Sect.
Looking at the flower-lined path pushed open by the wind, and the fragrant breeze lingering around the nose, one feels a sense of tenderness even before arriving.
A mischievous voice seemed to ring in my ears—
"I've heard that these two are beauties of our time, and that countless cultivators will shower them with flowers and fruits at the Immortal Cultivation Conference."
"Every day when we go out, people from Nanli City throw vegetable leaves at us."
"They're pretty evenly matched."
Zhu Wuyao smiled and peeked out. He saw Zhaohua Niang dressed in gorgeous clothes, her every smile and frown dazzling. Her long hair, like a waterfall, cascaded down her shoulders, lively and affectionate. As she moved, there seemed to be a soft tinkling of bells, which made people's hearts flutter.
Young Master Xiao was equally impressive, and he too was a respectable man.
The two of them standing together truly complemented each other, enhancing each other's brilliance, with neither of them being inferior in the slightest.
It’s really beautiful.
With the arrival of the two from the Blissful Sect, the atmosphere reached its peak. Before long, all those participating in the Immortal Cultivation Conference had arrived.
As a melodious bell rang out, it added a touch of solemnity and reverence. The sound echoed throughout the mountaintop, lingering for a long time, and all who heard it felt calm and at peace.
This cultivation conference is hosted by the Qingyun Sect.
As soon as the bell rang, the clear, sharp sound of swords striking each other rang out simultaneously from the five arenas in the arena, as if they could pierce through the clouds.
A streak of azure light swept across the five arenas, like a dragon emerging from the sea. The dragon's body was formed by countless sharp and menacing swords, and sword energy crisscrossed wherever it passed.
Zhu Wuyao was thrilled; this was exactly what she wanted to learn!
At the summit of Sword Rainbow stood a young man carrying a long sword, the organizer of this Immortal Cultivation Conference.
"It is an honor to share this grand event with all of you fellow Daoists..."
On the first day, there will only be an opening ceremony; the various sects will not be allowed to start wielding swords and spears as soon as they arrive.
At the opening ceremony, the host sect often has to show the grandeur of the host.
This is often the most anticipated part.
Last time, it was hosted by the Giant Sword Sect. They gave out countless Mystic Spirit Fruits with a wave of their hand. Although they were only things that Qi Refining stage cultivators could use, everyone received one. The sheer number of them was still considered a generous gesture.
I wonder what Qingyun Sect will bring out this time.
Then Qiu Lingzi, who was standing on the sword rainbow, continued:
"Elder Sang and Elder Ran of Qingyun Sect have fortunately broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Today, they share the spiritual rain with all fellow Daoists to celebrate."
Upon hearing this, Elder Zuo Rao of the Star-Picking Tower's Treasure Pavilion felt a pang in his heart, and his expression became more serious.
In this world, one cannot reach the Nascent Soul stage; the strongest combat power is found in the Core Formation stage.
The competition among the various sects is based on the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
In just ten years, Qingyun Sect gained two more members, while the situation at Zhaixing Tower was far from optimistic.
Zuo Rao was worrying about the future of Zhaixing Tower, and Zhu Wuyao almost jumped up when she heard him—
A magical rain? It grants cultivation points?!
Is this an attempt to send all the Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators away in one fell swoop?
She quickly put up a protective barrier for herself and squeezed closer to Elder Zuo Rao. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Xiao Qingyu was doing the same, and she was fully prepared.
