Chapter 220 The task is arduous and the road ahead is difficult.
Upon returning to Zhenhai Chao, Zhong Lingxin dared not delay. She used teleportation arrays whenever possible, and flew by flying boats whenever teleportation arrays were unavailable, striving to reach Qingyun Sect as quickly as possible.
Originally, Zhong Lingxin wanted to send this group of Long family members directly to Dragon Island.
However, the Celestial Spirit Heavenly Dao disagreed, and gave a very valid reason: the evil aura of Dragon Island had not been completely eliminated, the spiritual energy was thin, there were no good spiritual herbs, and it still needed to grow longer.
Zhong Lingxin couldn't be bothered with the nonsense of the Immortal Spirit Heavenly Dao. No matter how little spiritual energy or spiritual medicine there was, it was all just a matter of a single thought from the old man.
However, Zhong Lingxin still agreed to the request of the Immortal Spirit Heavenly Dao and brought the group of people back to the Qingyun Sect.
She discovered that, having experienced the siege of Dragon Island by the three major families, the hearts of these Dragon Family disciples had been more or less affected, making them more admiring of strength, but losing their moral compass and bottom line.
This situation is extremely bad!
People who cross the line are very prone to becoming paranoid and even to going astray.
These are not qualities a guardian should possess.
She has the life of a mother hen!
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long and difficult.
The Celestial Dao was extremely pleased and gave Zhong Lingxin a thumbs up for the first time.
He knew he hadn't chosen the wrong person.
Although this woman likes to take advantage of him, she is decisive when it comes to important matters.
To understand whether a plane is good or bad, one must know that everything that happens on that plane is closely related to it.
When people in a plane are kind-hearted, the plane will flourish.
Too much killing and too many wronged souls in different dimensions can easily lead to more disastrous consequences.
In short, it's a process of cause and effect.
The reason why the Immortal Spirit Continent has been able to function well for millions of years without a guardian is because he carefully maintains it and never gives evil cultivators too many opportunities to emerge.
Just imagining that he could return to his carefree life as a hands-off manager and truly treat everything as worthless made him want to sing out loud with delight.
bah bah bah!
That woman likes to sing and likes to do some kind of vocal attack all the time.
This is none of his business; he doesn't want to sing.
Qingling Peak suddenly accepted a thousand disciples, all of whom had excellent spiritual roots.
This made Sect Leader Lu's eyes crinkle with laughter.
Other peaks, envious, wanted a piece of the pie.
Zhong Lingxin didn't give any of them away.
Just kidding, these are a group of guardians, and what they need to be taught is different, so how could I dare ask them to teach?
Yu Jie and Chen Xiao also joined the Qingyun Sect.
Neither of them knew who had entrusted Zhong Lingxin to force her way into the South China Sea with the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator and bring out these thousand cultivators.
Trusting Zhong Lingxin, they didn't ask or mention taking on a disciple, and each silently became a solitary peak master.
Zhong Lingxin, who had just returned to the Qingyun Sect, didn't have time to teach her newly recruited thousand disciples or introduce them to her subordinates before setting off with a group of Qingyun Sect disciples.
She is going to participate in the sect challenge.
The Qingyun Sect has challenged the Lingyun Sect, aiming to reclaim its former glory and return to the ranks of top-tier sects.
The Qingyun Sect attaches great importance to this matter.
Lingyun Sect also attaches great importance to this, but unfortunately their Tribulation Transcending Ancestors are still unable to leave the sect and cannot even get a judge's position, so they cannot show favoritism to themselves.
In response, they did a lot of things, such as sending gifts to other sects and promising that as long as they could favor Lingyun Sect in the competition and help Lingyun Sect win, they would be generously rewarded, providing resources and beautiful women as needed.
The Qingyun Sect, on the other hand, happily stated that although Venerable Qingyang had ascended to immortality, the Qingyun Sect had been thriving in recent years, with two members advancing to the Tribulation Transcending stage and four to the Great Ascension stage, and even more members reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
In recent years, no one from the Qingyun Sect has failed in their tribulation!
Once you're in the Qingyun Sect, as long as you don't do anything reckless, you can level up as fast as you can.
These words left all the cultivators on the Immortal Spirit Continent feeling frustrated.
Considering the various trials and tribulations their Qingyun Sect has undergone over the years, very few people have died.
Although the gains weren't significant, their advancement was quite fast, even faster than those who gained more.
All those cultivation resources are ultimately for the purpose of advancing in rank.
Thinking about it this way, the Qingyun Sect still benefits more.
The challenge is divided into four regions, one for each of the Mahayana, Integration, Deity Transformation, and Nascent Soul stages. Each region will send ten cultivators from their respective sects to participate in the combat strength and four arts competitions.
The combat strength competition accounts for half of the total score in the competition area, while the four arts share the other half equally.
Of these, the total score for the Mahayana stage is 1000 points, which translates to 500 points of combat power. These points are then divided equally among the top ten: 1st place 200 points, 2nd place 100 points, 3rd place 50 points, 4th place 40 points, 5th place 30 points, 6th place 25 points, 7th place 20 points, 8th place 15 points, 9th place 12 points, and 10th place 8 points.
Each of the four arts accounts for 125 points, and the same applies to the next arts.
The combined phase accounts for 500 points, combat power accounts for half, and the four arts share the other half.
The Nascent Soul stage is worth 300 points, with combat power accounting for half and the Four Arts sharing the other half.
Zhong Lingxin participated in the Nascent Soul stage, with a total score of 150 points, of which 70 points were for combat strength and 80 points were for the four arts.
Zhong Lingxin ignored everything else and only carefully examined the scores for each level of the Nascent Soul stage. The top performer had 20 points, the second had 14.
The third person gets 8 points, and so on, with each person receiving one less point.
Because it was difficult for each sect to gather ten contestants for the Four Arts Competition, the competition rules were established through long-term practice to allow each sect to send only three contestants, and only the top three scores were considered.
For those in the Nascent Soul stage, it's quite simple: each of the four arts accounts for 20 points, the first place gets 10 points, the second place gets 6 points, and the third place gets 4 points.
Zhong Lingxin sat on the Qingyun Sect's flying boat, looking at the information in her hands.
This sect challenge is not only a competition between second-level sects and first-level major sects, but also a re-division of the power of the five major sects in the Immortal Spirit Continent.
Therefore, all the major sects sent out their best members to seize more resources.
These resources determine the cultivation resources of their sect for the next thousand years, so they cannot afford to ignore them.
A total of twelve sects have registered for this challenge.
Among them, Lingyun Sect has three subordinate sects: Qingyun Sect, Yulong Sect, and Xianlian Sect. Including himself, he has four sects, accounting for one-third of the entire challenge.
Of the remaining ones, one was occupied by Chaoyuan Sect and another by his subordinate Xuanshen Sect.
The Beast Taming Sect and the Void Sect lost two Tribulation Transcending Ancestors to evil cultivation sects, and many of their forces also perished. As a result, each of them had a subordinate secondary sect emerge: the Myriad Crane Sect and the Blazing Sun Sect.
The Linghua Sect, a subordinate sect of the Zixia Sect, also registered.
A total of twelve major sects were assembled to participate in the challenge.
However, Sect Master Lu reminded the cultivators of Qingyun Sect that Linghua Sect was brought in by Zixia Sect to help them, and they should not think that Linghua Sect was there to defeat Zixia Sect.
Then there's the Xuan Shen Sect. Although it has been developing well in recent years, its high-ranking members have close ties with the Chao Yuan Sect. Even their sect leader is the nephew of the Chao Yuan Sect leader. So this is a sect whose movements we need to keep an eye on.
