Chapter 1159: Taking Junior Sister Liu to Fly
The venue for the Immortal Sect Competition was established on Kunlun Mountain by the five great immortal sects.
Ever since the agreement to seal the mountain was made back in the day, the five great immortal sects set a rule.
Every three years, outstanding disciples from each sect would represent their sects in competitions.
This was intended to motivate the sect's disciples to cultivate more diligently.
The disciples who won the tournament could also acquire all the treasures of the opposing disciples.
This prospect undoubtedly sparked enthusiasm among all the disciples.
However, the disciples who could genuinely secure the champion title were exceptional talents.
Disciples with less than level ten Qi Cultivation would almost always be crushed.
As the number of tournaments increased, the treasures among the sects were depleted.
Sects with strong disciples undoubtedly became wealthier.
Thus, some sects became too fearful to participate.
The sects whose disciples truly participated in the Immortal Sect Competition have dwindled from the original five to now just three.
Qingyun Sect, Xuantian Sect, and Ghost Gate of the Western Mountain.
For three hundred years, the Liu Family of the East Sea has not sent any disciples to participate.
The Immeasurable Sect is similar, rarely participating after consecutive defeats a hundred years ago, and sometimes not even showing up.
Therefore, only three sects are participating this time.
Understanding these circumstances, Xia Liu faintly smiled.
Since there are only two opponents, he should manage.
The main concern is Xuantian Sect.
"According to the news, the highest cultivation amongst Xuantian Sect's disciples belongs to Ye Wuming, who has a Qi Cultivation Stage 12 level,"
Liu Hong reminded, seeing Xia Liu's indifferent expression.
"Qi Cultivation Stage 12, hmm..."
"Ye Wuming's Stage 12 is unlike Yun Hai's. According to the news, Ye Wuming received the Xuantian Sect patriarch's legacy, just like you, he possesses the ability to battle beyond his level."
At this point, even Liu Hong gasped softly.
Acquiring the patriarch's legacy doesn't categorize him just as a genius.
He is an extraordinarily lucky monster cultivator.
In the future, reaching Qi Cultivation Stage 15 is certain for him.
"Xuantian Sect Patriarch."
Xia Liu murmured, lost in thought.
"But it doesn't matter, your ability astonishes me even more. If I'm not mistaken, your master, his identity and status exceed the five great immortal sects."
Liu Hong had a hunch.
Xia Liu's master or the force behind him was an enormous power.
This grand backing could probably surpass the collective might of the five immortal sects.
Only with such profound heritage could such a terrifying disciple emerge.
Regarding this, Xia Liu shook his head and smiled wryly.
Does he have a background?
Apparently not.
But that old man was indeed extraordinary.
Even Sage Qingjue received his guidance.
If such a person wasn't from a major power, then he must have been a supreme expert from the wilds.
Nowadays, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator is enough to crush the five great immortal sects.
Perhaps, the force behind him does have the power to crush the five great immortal sects.
But does it belong to him?
Xia Liu didn't know, nor did he want to know. He never thought of going to that old man's place.
Now, he just wanted to find that old man. If the old man was willing, he would take care of him for a lifetime.
If not, he would do his utmost to repay the old man's kindness, and then wander the world with a beauty.
"Haha! It's about time, soon you'll change into the Qingyun Sect's disciple's attire, and then we'll depart,"
Liu Hong said.
"I don't have much to pack, just need to change clothes."
"Mingyue."
Liu Hong called out towards the outside.
Soon, Liu Mingyue came with a set of clothes.
The attire of Qingyun Sect disciples was primarily blue, with white as the secondary color.
While Xia Liu's outfit was a combination of blue and red.
Very conspicuous.
When he arrived at the square with Liu Hong, it immediately stirred a commotion among the disciples below.
"Everyone, quiet down. This year's Immortal Sect Competition is about to begin. Disciples who received the notification earlier, please step forward,"
Lu Mu announced with a stern face.
Then the five spirits of Qingyun stepped forward, followed by several disciples with Qi Cultivation Stages 6 to 8.
The total number of disciples going was twenty.
These disciples were considered elite disciples of the sect.
Except for Elder Xu, the elders present included Elder Gao and Elder Mo.
The elite disciples heading to Kunlun Mountain all possessed spiritual artifacts.
They could all fly using energy control.
Upon hearing this news, Xia Liu was somewhat surprised.
He had thought there were very few cultivators around.
Unexpectedly, there were so many, with cultivation levels mostly at the middle Qi Cultivation Stage and above.
Such a vast number, if flying over modern cities, would likely cause the entire world to tremble.
Of course, they might also be dismissed as a hoax or madness.
As the sky began to darken, Liu Hong's divine sense surged, the spirit sword flashed out, and he immediately took off with Lu Fang.
Next were four of the Qingyun's five spirits and several qualified disciples.
Once everyone had taken off with sword flight.
Xia Liu awkwardly glanced at the person behind him.
"That clueless father of mine! Why didn't he take me along!"
Liu Mingyue stomped her foot in anger as her father suddenly flew off with Lu Fang, leaving her behind...
"Junior Sister Liu, let me take you along,"
Yun Hai, who was also waiting, extended an invitation.
"Umm..."
Liu Mingyue looked at Xia Liu ahead, biting her lip.
She kept cursing Xia Liu in her heart, this damn guy, he still wasn't saying anything, did he want her to go with Yun Hai?
"Senior Brother Yun, your gourd is quite slow, and using it greatly depletes divine sense. Let me take Junior Sister Liu along,"
Just as Yun Hai was about to speak, Liu Mingyue eagerly replied, "Alright!"
"Since Junior Brother Xia is so considerate, I'll leave it to you then,"
Yun Hai forced a smile, his heart seething with anger. Xia Liu had snatched Liu Mingyue this way, damn it!
However, he didn't want to appear weak, emphasizing the words 'Junior Brother' to highlight their status difference.
Xia Liu said nothing further, his divine sense surged, and the Flowing Fire Sword cut through the void.
The speed was so fast that Liu Mingyue instinctively wrapped her arms around Xia Liu's waist.
Yun Hai, trailing behind, witnessed this scene, eyes flashing with a murderous glint.
He must kill Xia Liu!
Regarding Liu Mingyue, in the past he would've considered marrying her.
Now, he wouldn't. As long as he caused trouble, Liu Mingyue would only be his slave, forever!
Before the sky brightened, the group from Qingyun Sect all ceased flying.
After ten hours of flying, they were close to Kunlun Mountain.
The endless mountain range began to appear in their view, and because of high altitude, the peaks were covered with snow.
Though the temperature was low, cultivators generally didn't feel it unless the conditions were extremely cold or hot.
"A few more hours of fast flying, and we'll arrive. Xia Liu, you should rest first. Once your divine sense recovers, we'll continue onward."
