Originally, Tianlin had a contemptuous and casual attitude towards Xiao Ting's desire to compete with him.

After all, because of his Nine Immortal Roots, Xiao Ting's cultivation will remain at the first level of the Tribulation Pill Realm until he gathers all the Nine Immortal Seeds. And he, in any case, is also a perfect cultivator of the Golden Core Realm.

for.

But when Xiao Ting used the Chaos Guiyuan Pearl to display the "Three Thousand Swords" after ascending to the realm, Tianlin's expression changed a little.

Because he actually felt a hint of threat from the starlight sword shadow that shot towards him!

How can this be?

However, Tianlin couldn't help but think about it carefully. The starlight sword shadow had already arrived in front of him, carrying the unparalleled bright starlight.

Tianlin was forced, and a burst of light blue divine light erupted from his whole body. He held his right hand with the blue water gun in his hand, and smashed it with all his strength towards the starlight sword shadow that was stabbing towards him!

"boom!"

The entire barrier was suddenly shaken, and a huge shock wave rippled out from where the two weapons collided. The energy generated was scattered in all directions, and was excited at the edge of the barrier, causing the barrier to shake.

!

Mu Diesheng who was watching the battle was surprised, and he hurriedly injected another spiritual power, which stabilized the barrier and prevented it from being broken by the two attacks.

This is not to blame for the fact that the barrier set up by Mu Diesheng was not strong enough. In fact, he did not expect that Xiao Ting's move could be so powerful, so he did not set the level of the barrier at the beginning.

's too high.

Within the barrier, the scattered torrent of energy is still raging, and sword energy like starlight crisscrosses, constantly cutting the surrounding space, like a dream.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour passed that the surging energy slowly dissipated.

Xiao Ting looked intently and saw that the aqua blue spear in Tianlin's hand had disappeared at some point, and Tianlin's position had actually moved three meters back!

Xiao Ting's blow actually knocked back Tianlin, who was in the Golden Core realm!

This made Xiao Ting himself feel a little incredible.

Tianlin was at the perfect level of the Golden Core Realm, but he actually managed to repel it with the help of the Tribulation Pill Realm?

Of course, Xiao Ting only pushed him back three meters. If the two of them fought, there was no doubt that Xiao Ting would not be Tianlin's opponent.

Mu Diesheng removed the defensive barrier and led Meng Er and Ah San to their side.

"Tianlin, how do you feel?" Mu Diesheng asked.

Tianlin grinned and said: "I'm careless. I didn't expect that the Chaos Guiyuan Pearl could increase Xiao Ting's attack power to such an extent. I'm sure that without knowing anything, a normal nine-star golden elixir realm would probably be

It’s hard to escape with your whole body under this sword!”

When Xiao Ting heard this, he was also filled with joy.

Before, he was still worried about his inability to improve his cultivation level. But now, with the help of the Chaos Returning Yuan Pearl, he was finally able to compete with the strong men in the Golden Core Realm.

Of course, it's just a try, and the most important thing is to take it by surprise.

Xiao Ting took the Chaos Return Pearl back into his hand and looked carefully. Inside the bead, he could see that the shadow of the sword that seemed real and illusory seemed to become a little illusory.

Xiao Ting knew that this was because he had performed an attack. When he obtained the Chaos Returning Pearl, the mysterious old man had already told Xiao Ting not to rely too much on the Chaos Returning Pearl. If he continued to use it,

, will damage your own soul.

It seems that continued use of the Chaos Returning Pearl will not only damage one's soul, but also gradually erase the traces of magic engraved in it.

Xiao Ting thought in his mind.

Moreover, Xiao Ting also felt the consumption of his soul by using the Chaos Returning Pearl, and found that with all his strength, he should be able to perform three ascending attacks.

But this already made Xiao Ting very satisfied.

In the next few days, Xiao Ting engraved the Soaring Dragon Technique and the Nameless Sword Slash he created into the Chaos Returning Origin Pearl, and usually, Xiao Ting would release the Chaos Returning Origin Pearl.

In the outside world, let it absorb the energy between heaven and earth.

However, the speed of absorbing energy is far less than that in the valley within the valley.

Calculating the time, twelve days have passed. Xiao Ting and Suosuo discussed it and decided to set off to the Flame Mountain to participate in the Cloud Capture Competition.

Mu Diesheng did not go with Xiao Ting and the others. Firstly, his cultivation was in the Immortal Realm and he could not participate. Secondly, he had to stay here and needed to prepare some other ingredients for refining the Immortal Water Qiyuan Dan.

Material.

Before leaving, Mu Diesheng gave Xiao Ting and several others a bottle of elixir for each of them.

"This is an ice pill. Take one pill every two hours. It can effectively improve your resistance to Lihuo and make you less drunk." Mu Diesheng said.

Xiao Ting and others put away the elixirs, said goodbye to Mu Diesheng, and headed to Wanyao City, preparing to use the Realm Gate to teleport to Huoyun City.

Everything went smoothly along the way.

Xiao Ting and his party of four paid 10,000 low-grade Yuanling stones each and teleported to Huoyun City.

"Each transmission requires 10,000 low-grade Yuanling stones, which is really expensive!"

Meng Er said with some emotion.

When Xiao Ting heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "There is no way, who made this world gate so convenient! If the world gate is not used for teleportation, it will probably take half a month to get to Huoyun City by flying boat from Wanyao City. And

Teleporting through the Realm Gate only takes a few breaths."

The sound of locks suddenly rang in Xiao Ting's mind.

"Actually, once you reach the realm of the Immortal King, you no longer need to use the Realm Gate to teleport. The Immortal King can use teleportation."

Xiao Ting heard this and asked in surprise: "Immortal King? What realm is that?"

Suosuo replied: "The Immortal King means the King of Immortals. It is the next great realm after returning to the Immortal Realm. The Immortal King Realm is the realm where you can understand and use the power of space. Naturally, you can use it.

Teleportation."

When Xiao Ting heard this, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "I don't know when I will be able to reach that state..."

After the four people left the city, they headed towards the Flame Mountain.

The location of the Flame Mountain is easy to find, because at this moment, many people have already arrived here one step earlier than Xiao Ting and the others.

However, they all found a place outside to wait quietly, and were not able to enter the interior of the Flame Mountain.

Because there is a barrier outside the Flame Mountain, which will not be opened unless it is the date of the Cloud Capture Competition.

If someone forcibly attacks the defensive barrier, they will be expelled.

Moreover, it is said that this barrier was put down by the city lord of Huoyun City himself, and ordinary people cannot break it at all.

Xiao Ting and others also found a quiet place as their temporary base.

Xiao Ting looked around and made a rough calculation. He estimated that there should be more than a thousand people here, and people were still arriving in a steady stream.

"There are too many people here, right? Moreover, it seems that not all of them practice fire-attribute skills?" Xiao Ting looked at it for a moment and said with some confusion.

"This is normal. Many people are here to watch the excitement. When it comes to the end, it is estimated that the vast majority of people will be practicing fire-attribute techniques."

"The vast majority of people? In other words, there will be people who practice other attribute skills and come to participate in this cloud seizing competition? Why?" Xiao Ting asked.

Suosuo replied: "Because of Li Huo. I have said before that you and Meng Er Asan will both come to participate. Li Huo is a very magical flame that has a great effect on tempering the immortal roots and physical body of monks."

A good effect. If you can survive the first stage of the Cloud Seizing Competition, you can at least increase the physical strength of the monk by more than 50% through the fire-living exercise! Therefore, many people come to participate in this Cloud Seizing Competition with the purpose of

Train yourself, not for the final three flaming clouds."

So that's it. Xiao Ting nodded suddenly. This Li Huo actually had such a magical effect.

"Moreover, there will be many big sects coming to watch the Cloud Seizing Competition. Many casual cultivators want to get the attention of these sects in this competition. If you perform well in the competition, you are likely to be

If you recruit, it will really skyrocket."

Xiao Ting was a little dumbfounded. Is there another reason for this?

Xiao Ting looked around and saw that almost all of them were monks in the Golden Core Realm and Tribulation Core Realm.

These people are indeed just rookies in the Dongyu world. If they can join the super sect, they can indeed soar into the sky.

After all, the super sect, whether it is cultivation resources or the experience of its predecessors, is hundreds and thousands of times stronger than cultivating and exploring on its own, right?

A day flies by in a blink of an eye.

When the first ray of morning sun shone down in the early morning of the second day, the monks outside the Flame Mountain suddenly became commotion.

"It's the Lord of Huoyun City who is here!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

"I came here just to see the master of Huoyun City!"

"It is said that the Lord of Huoyun City has already survived the Tribulation of the Immortal King before he was a young man. His cultivation strength in ancient and modern times is even more unfathomable!"

"Yes, yes, the senior Lord of Huoyun City, with such a strong cultivation, still comes to personally host the Cloud Capture Competition every year. It seems that he really cares for his juniors!"

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Xiao Ting was also shocked.

This Lord of Huoyun City is actually a big boss in the Immortal King Realm?

As if feeling Xiao Ting's doubts, Suosuo said: "Actually, not all city lords are masters in the realm of Immortal Kings. It's just that City Lord Huoyun seems to be a little different. He has a very high level of cultivation and is also very mysterious. According to legend,

, he is from the Fire Cloud Sect."
