Chapter 164: 164. Entering the Grand Competition
The cultivation world is so placing people on such a sect, which is almost the usual practice of the cultivation sect, which is a sect constraint on the cultivation sect!
There is a cave more than a hundred miles outside the Red Maple Valley. The cave is surrounded by vines, and the top-down waterfall completely blocks the cave. It is impossible to find it with the naked eye alone!
In the cave at this moment, the old man who saved two demon cultivators stroked his beard with his right hand and frowned slightly. This person was no one else, but a person whom the Taisho Dynasty thought had disappeared today, the Red Maple Ancestor!
If anyone knows, he will definitely be very confused. Since the Red Maple Ancestor lived in seclusion near the Red Maple Valley, why did the four sects attacked the Red Maple Valley but did not rescue them? Naturally, outsiders could not know the reason. There is a little that the Red Maple Ancestor is more clear than anyone else. The Red Maple Valley does not allow any loss, that is his foundation!
————————————
In September of the following year, the colorful flags of the Red Maple City were waving and thousands of drums were ringing. It was a bustling and noisy moment. The square in the center of the city was even more surrounded. The purpose of coming here to watch was very simple. It was the competition once a year to enter the sect!
The election for the competition to join the sect originated from the time when the Red Maple Valley was established, and of course it is very difficult to enter the Red Maple Valley!
There are two rules for the Red Maple Valley martial arts competition once a year. The first is that the cultivation level is below the innate realm. For the Taisho Dynasty, which is not short of source energy, it is not too difficult to be able to practice to the innate realm. With martial arts, people can enter the innate realm at the age of thirty or forty!
The second rule is to enter the innate realm before reaching the age of twenty. People like the innate realm at the age of twenty can be said to be outstanding in talent. Whether it is Red Maple Valley or other swelling, they will naturally not choose people with poor spiritual roots and stupid talent, otherwise they will only be a burden to the sect and will not benefit the sect!
Whether in the world of immortal cultivation, people are the same. In the world of Jianghu, once they enter the innate world, they have the opportunity to enter the sect of immortal cultivation and immortality. Who would dislike long life? And they have powerful magic and are based on the capital to save lives. Therefore, people in the world of Jianghu practice hard, hoping to enter the sect of immortal cultivation one day, and the same is true for cultivators. In the world of cultivation, they are even more fists. Only when they have big fists, can they have the capital to survive? The great power of becoming an immortal is all due to bloody storms and deaths. Only when they can achieve the great way!
However, Red Maple Valley is different from other places. Red Maple Valley only selects twenty people, and they all arrive at the innate realm before the age of twenty!
The other sects of the Taisho Dynasty were very puzzled by this, and of course they also hoped that Hongfeng Valley would continue as usual, because no matter what, the fewer disciples the Redfeng Valley recruited, the slower the strength would grow. Why did Hongfeng Valley defeat it before? Isn’t it just sticking to the rules? Looking at other sects, it’s not that they recruit hundreds of disciples. No matter what the conditions are, as long as they are of good qualifications, it’s okay to recruit thousands of disciples at once!
In fact, they knew the cleverness of the Red Maple Ancestor. Among the monks, there are many people who can fight against several monks of the same level with one person. The reason why the Red Maple Ancestor is like this is that he uses limited resources to better cultivate disciples, and the other is to choose the preferred person through martial arts competition!
This is very necessary. In order to compete for twenty places, hundreds of people must be the case. The Eight Immortals show their magical powers across the sea, and they are also very hard-working. However, one thing must be admitted that the twenty people who can win are not only excellent qualifications, but they are definitely calm and persevering people. This method is to select the elites among the elites. Reasonable resource allocation will make the cultivation of these twenty people improve by leaps and bounds!
It’s ridiculous that the other four sects cultivate a large number of disciples with limited resources, and how many resources can individuals obtain? Some of the poorly qualified ones waste!
Of course, some people will say that if the Red Maple Valley is like this, why was almost forced to be destroyed at the beginning? But one thing should not be forgotten, the four sects united and the departure of the Red Maple Ancestor gave the four sects a chance to unite, and the number of people of the four sects is hundreds of times that of the Red Maple Valley. Not to mention that the few sects are fighting against the masses, even if the elders of the other four sects united together, the number of people is not comparable to that of the Red Maple Valley. And more importantly, the Red Maple Valley is just a sect created hundreds of years ago. It is not easy to have such a foundation. The real combat power is nothing more than the Red Maple Ancestor!
But even so, the four sects fought against Red Maple Valley and the damage was still quite large. It can be imagined that over the hundreds of years, Red Maple Valley has developed very well. If the other four sects had not joined forces, they would have been a fool to win Red Maple Valley!
Afterwards, the benefits were given up, one was to appease the four sects, and the other was to rest and recuperate. In that battle, Red Maple Valley was quite damaged, and the same was true for the royal family.
Moreover, the resources obtained by the Red Maple Valley and the royal family for hundreds of years are enough to deal with them for a long time. Even if there is no cultivation resources, there is no problem in developing stably for three to five hundred years. This is why Hong Maple Valley still follows the rules after losing most of its resources. In fact, Hong Maple Valley does not lack resources. What is really afraid of is that Hong Maple Valley is not full. If the four sects fight to the death, even if they can hurt the four sects, what's the point if the Red Maple Valley is gone!
There was only one person in the center of the ring at this moment. The man was rosy and could not tell his age. At first glance, he looked a little in his thirties, but at second glance, he looked a bit like he was in his forties or fifties, with long eyebrows and black hair, and his green robe swaying gently in the breeze!
This person is not someone else, but Ji Zhantian, the seventh sect leader of Hongfeng Valley today. The surname Ji is very rare. It is rumored that Ji is an ancient surname, but it is rare to be passed down to this day!
Ji Zhantian made a long speech, and he was just talking about the rules of the martial arts competition election, and it was not allowed to hurt his life, etc.!
In the teahouse below, Du Yi listened to all this silently, but he was extremely depressed. The old ghost Ouyang Zi did not appear, and he was over 200 years old. As long as he had a bone age test, he would definitely not be able to participate in the election!
In Du Yi's troubles, Du Yi suddenly felt that someone was staring at him. Du Yi had a lot of insights in the cultivation world. Du Yi naturally knew that he could not act rashly at this moment. The other party must be too much higher than himself in the cultivation. If he hadn't been a semi-immortal body, he would not have found this kind of mental power!
However, in just a moment, the feeling of being stared at disappeared instantly. Du Yi did nothing from beginning to end, and of course this also made Du Yi breathe a sigh of relief!
Du Yi knew very well that being able to do this must be an old monster above the God Transformation Stage. Since he entered the clone period, his mind power has increased by more than twice, and even if he is not as good as an ordinary God Transformation Stage cultivator!
Du Yi is not omnipotent. Although he is not afraid of the cultivators in the God Transformation Stage, and he has many ways to save his life, Du Yi still has to be cautious when facing such an old monster who cannot see any cultivation level.
