Chapter 38 The Library Pavilion Challenge
The first to reach the top of the mountain was a second-grade magic handkerchief full of disciples with four-claw magic weapons.
"Zhiqiong Peak... First?"if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
The climb only took four incense sticks, but during this short time, it shocked the elders and disciples several times.
This had never happened before.
At this moment, everyone was looking at them. After a four-claw magic weapon grabbed the last rock on the top of the mountain, the whole second-grade magic handkerchief was immediately stretched out and spreaded open smoothly. It revealed the bunch of sword cultivators and the hairpin division of Zhiqiong Peak's disciples.
The distance was too far away, so they couldn't see Zhiqiong Peak's winning look at this moment.
However, they saw that none of the disciples moved.
"Huh?"
"Why don't they run to the top of the mountain? What are they waiting for?"
'They are waiting for her!'
'Waiting for her to set foot on the top of the mountain first.'
The disciple onlookers were amazed and the elders in the audience couldn't help but nod.
"Amazing."
"She was the one who refined those magic weapons of Zhiqiong Peak with the strange aroma!"
The onlookers woke up.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
"That refiner is really amazing. She turned the tide for her peak!"
Unfortunately, the other eleven peaks were pitiful. Especially Chen Shuxin, who used to be in the number one position and was much-anticipated to win. He was still working hard to climb the mountain with his flying sword.
However, the eyes of the onlookers were already focused on Zhiqiong Peak.
After all, compared to the amazing and rapid climbing of the "gorgeous caterpillar" of Zhiqiong Peak, Chen Shuxin in the Golden Core peak stage, had nothing to show.
"What are they arguing about?"
Many disciples were watching and their exclamations soon spread to Bitao Mountain.
Su Yu frowned as she was about to sit down on a rock.
The other junior brothers and sisters hurriedly stood up. They went to the side of the mountain to listen and returned one after another.
"I don't know. I can't hear them clearly. It's like they were saying who is second and who is first?"
They didn't even know they were in the spotlight yet.
'Claws climbing, so what?'
'Is it more surprising than the fact that these golden claws... No, these third-grade and second-grade hairpins are all subsidiary products of elixirs and they have to spit them out one by one?'
So those who spit out magic weapons themselves felt that this was a trivial matter.
Yan Yan immediately stood up with his sword in his arms and reported to Su Yu, "I feel that this spirit wind is tempering my sword heart. I will try to climb again."
Su Yu nodded.
Yan Yan immediately took control of his sword and rushed back to a distance of ten meters away from the top of Bitao Mountain. Then, he resisted the wind with difficulty to sharpen himself.
Lu Yizhou pondered for a while and then stood up quickly. "The spectral birds that I created are also a little immature. I might have some insights from the wind and the sky. I will also go with Sixth Junior Brother."
He also played his qin immediately.
In the wind, the sound of his qin turned into a Garuda.
It Slowly but steadily rose.
The spectating disciples in front of the projection were stunned.
'This is... speechless.'
"I don't know if we climbed fast enough or not. Maybe we can rush to the top six." Number Sixteen, Zhao Ran, glanced at his sixth senior brother's flying swords and asked expectantly.
Wei Zhao's eyes also twinkled towards the top of the mountain.
'Top six.'
Even when Eldest Senior Brother was around, they were ranked tenth.
Except for their eldest senior brother, their cultivation bases were all too low. It was impossible for them to imagine the top six before.
"Even eighth is not bad." Wei Zhao thought and spoke conservatively.
Su Yu said nothing.
The top of Bitao Mountain was equipped with a shadow formation method. This formation transmitted the image and voices of the disciples at the top of the mountain to the audience and onlookers. This was to show the ranking publicly so that no one could falsely claim to be the first.
At this moment, all the audience's mouths were twitching.
While they were discussing, they saw Lu Yizhou's sleeves fluttering, resonating with the characteristics of birds. Soon he reached the very top of the mountain.
Yan Yan also seemed to have found a trick. He arranged his eighteen swords one by one horizontally, in the shape of Su Yu's flying handkerchief, increasing the floor area of his flying sword.
For a moment, his body swayed less than before.
Whenever he swayed, he took out another flying sword from his storage bag and stepped on it again.
As long as there were many flying swords, he would not fall.
This time, he also reached the top quickly.
The rest of the disciples in the audience were speechless.
"Are the other peaks up yet?"
"Oh, Chen Shuxin has climbed up but has not yet reached the top. None of the Foundation Building disciples has made it... Only some Golden Cores of the first-place peak are close to the top. The other disciples have not yet arrived."
"Oh, My, Gosh. The people of Zhiqiong Peak have gone back and forth twice!"
They climbed up just like that, but Zhiqiong Peak thought they were the eighth!
Immediately, the red-robed judging elder sighed. He flew and instantly arrived at the top of Bitao Mountain.
Su Yu was sitting on a rock that had been wiped clean by her junior brother while everyone around her was reminiscing about the feeling of climbing just now.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
Suddenly a majestic elder in a red robe stepped on the peak. Everyone was shocked.
Su Yu looked calm. She stood up and saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly. "Elder, are you coming to tell us the ranking?"
Immediately, Wei Zhao and the others looked at the elder nervously.
The moment people were waiting for their grades, they would always become anxious.
If they could make it into the top eight, then when their eldest senior brother came back, they could tell him the good news!
"Zhiqiong Peak," The judging elder said halfway through. His eagle eyes swept to the calm Su Yu before continuing, "Your disciples have no Golden Core and their cultivations are insufficient."
Zhiqiong Peak disciples' nervous faces suddenly turned pale.
The elder in red paused and nodded to Su Yu. "However, you still keep calm when you are in trouble. You fully observed the terrain and the wind environment of Bitao Mountain and chose the most suitable route. Your cultivation methods and magic weapons allowed all the disciples of Zhiqiong Peak to climb the Bitao Mountain."
Wei Zhao suddenly turned from worry to joy.
'Is the elder praising them?'
Hang Wan'er's beautiful eyes flickered. The elder found out that she used the Seven Emotions and Six Desires exercise during the climb.
When climbing the mountain, she not only observed the spiritual power and coordination of the surrounding sisters but also detected the turbulent wind on the mountain.
She did not look exhausted, but in fact, she was exhausted.
At this moment, after being affirmed by the elder, Hang Wan'er felt there was an improvement in her mind and she entered the second level of her exercise.
Seven Emotions and Six Desires could observe anything carefully.
A purple light flashed through her eyes.
"Cultivation is not only about the battle, but also ingenuity and use of power. It is already precious that you can understand this in Foundation Building and Qi Refining. I hope that in the future, you will remember your victory today."
The red-robed elder glanced at Hang Wan'er. He nodded and immediately made a gesture, summoning a gilt cinnabar talisman and sending it to Su Yu's hand.
Everyone looked up.
The judging elder continued, "Because you performed all the way amazingly from last to first, the Precept Hall gave you a chance to exchange a Mysterious level exercise in the Library Pavilion as a reward. Congratulations on winning the first challenge."
Wei Zhao was stunned.
The other beaming junior brothers and sisters behind him, especially Hang Waner, who just had an epiphany, also froze.
The level of exercises, from rarest to the most common, were Heavenly level, Earth level, Mysterious level and Yellow level.
Mysterious level exercises were generally used in the Nascent Soul level. Not everyone could learn it.
And-
"First?" Little Sixteenth, Zhao Ran, held his sword while screaming in surprise. "We are the first?"
"First? us?" Hang Wan'er's pretty face flushed and for a moment, she completely forgot her self-improvement goal.
"Is there a mistake?"
"I, just like Third Senior Brother, thought we were at best eighth."
"I thought Sixteenth Senior Brother's prediction of the sixth place was considered bold."
Zhiqiong Peak was surprised and in disbelief.
The disciples watching at the foot of the mountain: "..."
The red-robed elder twitched and couldn't listen to them anymore.
He waved his robe and immediately threw out a small flying boat. "The first challenge is completed. You can enter the second challenge in advance. Start immediately!"
Su Yu nodded.
It turned out that even though the third-class competition seemed to be separated into four challenges and the assessment was different, if you completed the first challenge well, you would have an advantage in the following challenges.
Excellent peaks would gradually widen their distance from the last peaks.
The strong ate the weak.
Preventive measures against possibility in the future.
The world of immortal cultivation was so cruel.
This was how Nanxun Sect used the competition to tell all disciples the truth of survival.
It seemed that Nanxun also had to face dangers from outside.
Su Yu thought about it and walked up to the elder to thank him, "Thank you, Elder, for the talisman."
The red-robed elder nodded. "Everyone calls me Elder Hong. Now go."
Su Yu nodded and became the first to get on the small boat that could accommodate a hundred people at once.
Behind her, her junior brothers and sisters also got in.
"What is the second challenge?"
Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak and all the disciple onlookers staring at their flying boat were thinking about the same thing.
However, in an instant, their thoughts stopped.
Because they had arrived at the second challenge location in a flash.
They were just wandering around and they were here.
"Second challenge."
The elder's voice resounded throughout Bitao Mountain.
"Library comprehension."
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
The corners of Wei Zhao's mouth twitched. "This year really has a theoretical test."
He used to be most afraid of this topic.
Most of them, sword cultivators, were rough and didn't like reading books.
The other brothers and sisters behind him also wrinkled their faces.
Even Hang Wan'er, the leader of the chicken claw hairpin division who just showed her skills just now, had a bitter face.
Soon, they heard the elders announced the rules for the second challenge. "Second challenge: After entering the library, you need to read the wordless scripture. When five disciples have an epiphany and mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they can go."
'It's so cruel.'
'If you can't read it, you are not allowed to leave.'
Hang Wan'er's pretty face was pale. She just had an epiphany on Bitao Mountain a while ago. It was difficult to have an epiphany again.
She stretched out her hand to hold her head. Her golden chicken claws hairpin shook violently. "I fall asleep every time I read this book. I knew I should have held back from levelling up. I should have left it for this challenge."
"Three years ago, by the time my senior brother woke me up, I only turned one page of that book." Little Sixteenth, Zhao Ran, still had lingering fears.
Su Yu supported her forehead.
She took a deep breath before saying, "Get in first."
'Before starting, they have no confidence. This is not okay.'
Master Su was not afraid at all.
She immediately signalled Yan Yan to push open the entrance door of the library.
As the challenge for today's big competition was related to the Library Pavilion, the whole pavilion was empty at this time. When they pushed open the door and entered, except for the solemn sound of the heavy Nanwu-wood door, there was no other sound around them.
The library was a twelve-storey high pavilion. Each floor had a teleportation formation on the right side of the entrance, allowing the disciples to go directly to their corresponding floor.
Normally, only the bookshelves on the first six floors could be read by disciples below Nascent Soul.
"The Mysterious-level exercises that the elder gave us are on the seventh floor." Above the seventh floor, the library kept various heart formulas and exercises that only a Nascent Soul could use. Generally, it required the permission of the sect elders to read these books.
Everyone in Zhiqiong Peak was overjoyed. They suddenly forgot the fact that they were all scums in studying.
Su Yu stared at the bookshelves on the first floor and the ceiling decorated with pear flowers and trees. "Where is the Wordless Book?"
Her voice dashed everyone's happiness.
The elder's voice quickly sounded in the library, "You are the first to arrive. You can choose the floor at will."
Su Yu nodded, "Then let's go to the highest 12th floor so we won't get disturbed by the latecomers."
Everyone was unable to lower their shoulders.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
The shadow of being slow learners always haunted them.
Now, they didn't even have an excuse that they were being interrupted.
Su Yu was the first to step into the teleportation formation. She didn't even realize their tangled emotions. She even dropped a word before disappearing.
"The five people who understand it first will be rewarded with 3,000 contribution points."
Suddenly, seven or eight figures flew into the formation, afraid that they might fall behind.
Others also woke up and rushed into the formation.
'Get contribution points, exchange with elixir and open more lucky treasures!'
"We have to understand it even if we die today!" Hang Wan'er took off her hairpin. "I'll attach my head to the beam!"
"You have to be resolute. Don't sleep!" Yan Yan took out a dozen swords and let them fly behind him.
"I'll get more lucky treasures~"
The other brothers and sisters followed.
---
"Brother Chen, you are really amazing. You are the first to reach the top!"
On the top of Bitao Mountain, a few Golden Core swordsmen had finally arrived but saw that Chen Shuxin had already adjusted his breath with his knees crossed.
They couldn't help but look vigilant.
"It seems that the previous rumors are true. Brother Chen has long been the number one among us."
Chen Shuxin chuckled. He jumped up and stood straight, then cupped his hands to salute them. "Where, I'm just one step ahead of you. Although I'm first, it's not much different from your timing."
The shadow formation on the top of the mountain clearly projected this conversation to the front of the elders and peak masters.
All the disciple onlookers looked strange.
The Peak Master of the second place peak, Linran Peak, who was also Chen Shuxin's direct master, Yi Ge's brows twitched. He tightly pressed the armrest of his Peak Master's chair. A small piece of the armrest had been crushed into ashes.
Soon, Elder Hong stood up. This time, he did not go up the mountain in person.
He just stood in front of the viewing seats and announced the result.
"Chen Shuxin from Linran Peak arrived second with the other twenty-six disciples from Linran Peak. Linran Peak is ranked second."
"Jingang Peak... ranked third."
...
"The twelfth is Yuanrong Peak."
After the elder recited the ranking of all of them, everyone on Bitao Mountain looked at Chen Shuxin in amazement.
"Second? Is he the second?"
"Good guy, he just said he was the first. I almost believed it." A disciple from Yuanrong Peak, who had just reached the top, sighed with emotion.
The golden core inside Chen Shuxin's body shook.
He then heard the Yuanrong Peak guy's speculation. "I don't seem to have heard the name of Zhiqiong Peak. Could it be that they are the first?"
Chen Shuxin: ...
'How is it possible!?'
He looked at Ji Tao in shock and saw that Ji Tao was also in disbelief.
They immediately looked at the eighth place and ninth place peaks, and they saw that the chief disciples of the two peaks looked away in embarrassment.
On the peak master viewing seat, Yi Ge waved his sleeves to cut off the projection array.
"Hey," Elder Zhang chuckled. "Some people are not right. It is only natural that they failed, so why be so embarrassed."
Yi Ge responded with a sneer, "The next level is to comprehend the wordless scriptures, which is difficult. Elder doesn't know it yet, right?"
Elder Zhang twitched the corner of his mouth but quickly suppressed it.
Yuan Rong also shook his head and sighed, "This year, the Precept Hall is too ruthless. There is no word in the book and you will definitely fall asleep when you read it if you are at the Qi Refining level. Each peak requires five people to have an epiphany, but Zhiqiong Peak doesn't even have five Golden Cores."
Yi Ge snorted, "Even if there are less than five people that could do it, it is natural to sort them according to who has more disciples that can comprehend faster."
He had confidence in his disciple, Chen Shuxin.
In terms of understanding, his intelligence was not low. In terms of cultivation, he was only a thin layer of paper away from the Nascent Soul level.
In addition, he also had three other disciples in Golden Core level, all of whom were equipped with protective artefacts, the Qingming Heart Guardian.
Yi Ge stroked his long beard lightly. "Elder, why don't you open the Shadow Array in the Library Pavilion? I'm afraid some peak's disciples have already fallen asleep."
Elder Zhang put down his teacup with a bang.
The figures of everyone from Zhiqiong Peak, sitting on pillow seats, soon appeared in the projection array.
On the twelfth floor of the library, there were only four white walls. There was no bookshelf, only straw pillow seats neatly placed on the ground.
Zhiqiong Peak disciples sat on the pillow seats.
Each of them was holding a volume of silk scrolls above their knees and slowly turned the first page.
The scrolls glowed slightly. However, there were no words or traces of ink on the scroll. It was blank.
Su Yu was also sitting among the disciples.
She looked at the book curiously.
But soon, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
She turned her head and saw that her juniors in the last row had their eyes closed.
"No, Thirtieth Junior Brother fell asleep!"
The junior sister beside him exclaimed, but within a short while, her eyes also dropped weakly and she slowly leaned to the left.
As if it was contagious, the people in the last row fell one by one.
In an instant, seven Qi Refining disciples with the lowest cultivation level were already asleep.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"
"I'm so sleepy, Second Senior Sister," Little Sixteenth, Zhao Ran, gritted his teeth. "Just one glance at this Wordless Book will make your eyelids close..."
Halfway through speaking, he was also asleep.
Immediately, he was stabbed by Hang Wan'er's hairpin and he was shocked awake. He reluctantly woke up, gritted his teeth and looked at the scroll in front of him again. However, after a while, his eyelids drooped down again.
Su Yu: "..."
She felt like she had arrived at the scene where her team had stayed up late.
Hang Wan'er held her hairpin firmly. After stabbing Zhao Ran, it immediately flew to the other brothers and sisters who were about to fall. Hang Wan'er said with a solemn expression, "Second Senior Sister, hurry up and understand the Wordless Book. I will guard everyone ."
Yu Dong stood up, "Seventh Junior Sister, you also go to seek enlightenment. I will do it."
Yan Yan's flying sword also flew behind the sleeping people. "I am enough."
However, even after he slapped a sleeping disciple with his sword, the person still couldn't wake up.
"You can't wake them up once they fall asleep. Everyone hold on." Hang Wan'er's expression turned ugly and she shouted.
Su Yu looked at them and nodded.
All her assistants had worked hard.
But they themselves also had to learn.
Maybe... she should try first.
'How can people sleep soundly so quickly?'
Su Yu stood up in front of them and took out a wok from her storage bag. "Hold on, wait for Senior Sister."
"What is she going to do?"
'What am I going to do? Of course, it is cooking.'
Soon, a strange fragrance surged through the library.
"It smells good-"
With his eyes closed, his neck moved forward.
"Second Senior Sister, is it time to eat elixir again..."
"Liao! Who is secretly taking lucky treasure?"
The seven or eight disciples of Zhiqiong Peak, who fell asleep, all erected their necks in an instant.
Onlookers: ...
The elders and Peak Masters who were watching: ...
