“But then it seemed it was not just Tianfan Immortal Sect that was like this. If other forces also had the Shura Sect’s nails, wouldn’t they be allowed to enter the secret realm?” Elder Tai He said with some reluctance.

“In the final analysis, it was the Shura Sect that was hateful. They deliberately arranged the spies to lurk in the sect, they must have a big plan. However, we and other immortal cultivators were not easy to mess with. Taking advantage of this gathering of the five regions, we could discuss forming an alliance and going to the Shura Sect,” suggested Elder Yan Si, who had a somewhat hot temper.

“This matter needed long-term consideration. We didn’t know whether there were spies in other areas. However, just a few words could not convince people,” Elder Wu Gen said, stroking his beard.

Although the five regions were allies, they were only maintaining superficial peace. This competition was a contest between contemporary disciples, and it was also related to the future status of all parties. In recent years, there had been an undercurrent in the cultivation world privately, and the atmosphere had become tense.

At this time, Xuan Zhen, who had been sitting silently in the front seat, spoke up, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty, “I will personally lead the disciples to this competition.”

After Xuan Zhen finished speaking, he looked towards Su Yu and the other two and said, “Elder Su Yu will escort us, and Elder Wu Gen and the other two Supreme Elders will guard the sect.”

“We will follow the sect master’s instructions.” Upon hearing what Xuan Zhen said, several Core Formation elders present also responded.

Although Xuan Zhen was only in the early stage of Core Formation and his cultivation was lower than Elder Wu Gen, he practiced swordsmanship. The swordsmanship was sharp and courageous. He was better than the cultivators who practiced other methods. He could even surpass others’ level and kill his opponents. Under his sword, the other elders would not be worried if he protected them. Coupled with the identity of Xuan Zhen as the Sect Master, all parties would be more trusting of him when they met him.

Elder Yan Si’s strength was directly proportional to his temper, and his fire control skills were superb. In battles, he could defeat one against three, and having him by Xuan Zhen’s side could provide a little more protection.

Compared with the two of them, Su Yu lacked combat prowess, but he had a peaceful temperament and was good at observing people’s emotions. All diplomatic matters were handled by him, so he must not be left out this time.

After agreeing on the travel arrangements, Xuan Zhen said to Elder Tian Min, “Tian Min’s disciples did a lot to expose the Shura Sect this time, so these two tokens will be given to the two of them as a reward.”

Elder Tian Min took the tokens and saw they were two Thunder Pond tokens. He immediately accepted them for the two of them, “I would like to thank the sect master on behalf of the disciples.”

On the grounds of Qingdan Palace, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were walking around, practicing fighting skills. Li Tianyan absorbed and refined the Chaotic Beast Beads during this period, and finally advanced to the middle stage of foundation establishment. Cheng Qi, who had been in seclusion for more than a month, also advanced to the late ninth level in one go, and his cultivation level could be described as leaps and bounds.

Li Tianyan was worried he would advance too quickly and his foundation would be unstable. He also thought Cheng Qi would have to compete with others in the Five Domains Competition, so Li Tianyan simply suppressed his cultivation and accompanied him in sparring. After one month, he really made great progress.

Li Tianyan used his earth energy, making a palm print and pressing it towards Cheng Qi. The palm print carried a heavy aura of earth, and the pressure was so powerful that the targeted person seemed to be shrouded in a force of gravity. Even operating spiritual power was extremely difficult.

When he first sparred with Li Tianyan, Cheng Qi was suppressed by this palm print and couldn’t move, but now he had adapted and quickly swung his long whip to hit the pressing down infuriating shadow. After receiving the first whip the palm prints remained motionless, cracks finally appeared in the second whip, and the third whip cracked it in the air.

However, Li Tianyan kept moving, and as soon as the palm print disappeared, another water dragon rose into the sky. Cheng Qi immediately formed a seal with both hands, and a purple curse disk appeared in front of him. Fire spiritual energy penetrated into the curse disk, and the purple flames burst like pillars against the water dragon.

Water could overcome fire, and fire-attribute cultivators were most afraid of meeting people who practiced water-based techniques. However, during the period of competition with Li Tianyan, Cheng Qi’s understanding of the Dark Fire Body Burning Technique became more and more profound.

Dark fire was not like ordinary flames, but an extremely yin fire. It could not be extinguished by pouring water on it. It could burn all living things in the world, both yin and yang.

He saw the pillar of light condensed by the flame facing the water dragon. There was no scene of rising smoke. The fire pillar actually merged with the water dragon. There was fire in the water, and there was water in the fire. They were intertwined with each other, and finally became a rotating spiral, a tornado whirlpool.

The two of them used their spiritual power together to seize control of the whirlpool and let it attack the other side. It was like a tug-of-war. They played this game several times, but they never tired of it. Every time they competed; Cheng Qi would be defeated without exception because he ran out of spiritual energy.

Li Tianyan controlled the vortex to attack him with the force of destruction of the world. Cheng Qi had become accustomed to leaving the last trace of spiritual power in his body for escape. At this time, he was hiding with his spiritual power to survive the tornado whirlpool attack.

After the tornado disappeared, Cheng Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a few more breaths, and then meditated on the spot to regain his spiritual power. As he continued to fight with Li Tianyan over the past month, his spiritual power was exhausted and replenished every time but it was tempered and solidified inside Cheng Qi’s body, and the hidden danger of successive promotions was eliminated.
