This made Lin Aoxue a little envious of Ye Liuyun's Thousand Flower Pupils.
"Ah! That's enough, that's enough, I won't practice anymore." Around 12 o'clock late in the night, Ye Liuyun stopped practicing sword and sat down.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Ye Liuyun stopped, Lin Aoxue immediately sheathed her sword and walked over.
Ye Liuyun sighed softly, then looked at the bright moon in the sky and asked questioningly.
"Aoxue, do you still remember how we came to this world after our death?"
As soon as this question came out, Lin Aoxue was stunned, then she sat down next to Ye Liuyun and tried hard to recall the situation at that time. Maybe because more than 20 years had passed, Lin Aoxue could not remember clearly what happened at that time.
"Now that you ask me that, I suddenly can't remember. I remember that an accident happened when we were out playing?" Lin Aoxue recalled, touching his chin.
It was very strange that she couldn't remember for a moment what kind of accident had happened that brought them into this world.
"Haha, you can't remember either? It seems that this problem is not just mine. I have thought about this problem a long time ago. Why can't we remember what happened before we were reborn into this world? We only remember that an accident happened when we were out playing, but what kind of accident was it, was it a traffic accident or an attack, and how did we die? It seems that we have no memory at all." Ye Liuyun murmured.
Why did she suddenly ask this question? That is, there must be something wrong. Most importantly, her experience in this world made her feel a little weird or unreal.
She had an assumption in her mind, that is, whether this world was the real world, and Ye Liuyun had always been doubting this.
After coming to this world, everything that happened was too outrageous, just like a game.
Yes, they are real people in this world, but as the saying goes, a single leaf blocks the view of the mountain. If you are in the situation, it is impossible for you to know the answer.
Lin Aoxue listened to Ye Liuyun's hypothesis and felt that this question was a bit difficult to solve.
"Why are you suddenly so concerned about this issue? Is this issue very important?" Lin Aoxue couldn't figure it out.
"It's not important, but I don't know why, I care about this issue. If the world we live in is just a fake world, then isn't our life in this world a fake life?" Ye Liuyun looked at Lin Aoxue and expressed his serious opinion.
Lin Aoxue was silent. She couldn't answer Ye Liuyun's question.
But one thing is certain, she also feels that what they experienced is shrouded in mystery.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's just make the best of it. There's no point in thinking too much." Lin Aoxue didn't want to continue discussing this issue because it was a question without an answer.
Seeing that Lin Aoxue didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Ye Liuyun could only let it go.
The night passed like this.
The next day, the finals officially began.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue also arrived at Lundao Peak early.
"Dear disciples, the finals are about to begin, and the finals and ranking competitions will be held at the same time. In order to save time and give you time to prepare and adjust your status, the ranking competition will be changed into a cloud ladder secret realm. That is to say, the disciples who win the finals will immediately go to break through the cloud ladder, and the auction will be ranked according to the level of the cloud ladder you climb." Elder Qin announced the arrangements for the subsequent competitions.
When Ye Liuyun heard about the secret realm of the cloud ladder, he immediately turned around and asked Meng Xianer, Pei Qian and others.
"Do you know what the Cloud Ladder Secret Realm is?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
Meng Xianer chuckled, and then quickly told Ye Liuyun about the situation in the Yunti Secret Realm. The Yunti Secret Realm was a place of trial, and the sect already had a ranking list of the top 100 disciples. This ranking was revised every three years.
All disciples of the sect can participate, but only one hundred people will have their names left in the end. Disciples who have their names left will receive ranking rewards from the sect, and the first place winner will even be awarded the status of the sect’s chief disciple.
This is how Murong Huan was born as the chief disciple, and he has been in the position for a long time, and no one can squeeze him out of the position of chief disciple.
After listening to it, Ye Liuyun roughly understood it.
"Okay, the competition is about to begin. Let's draw lots for matching." The voice of Elder Qin sounded again.
As soon as her voice fell, 200 jade tokens flew out of her hands and floated in the venue. Ye Liuyun and others also grabbed the tokens.
After getting the token, Ye Liuyun took a look at it.
"Number 88, oh! It's a bit behind, Aoxue, where's you?" After Ye Liuyun looked at his own number, he quickly looked at Lin Aoxue's number.
"I'm number 12, and I'll be on stage soon." Lin Aoxue gestured.
Ye Liuyun will probably play in the afternoon.
"You are finally ahead of me." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
But at this moment, Su Ying suddenly spoke to Han Yao and the others.
"My fellow disciples, there are some things I need to tell you. There is no need to fight desperately in today's battle. After you have identified your opponent, if the gap is too big, give up if you can. This year's Nanling event is different from previous ones. It is very important to our Yun Sect." Su Ying said seriously.
Not only Su Ying, the leaders of other factions were also giving instructions to their disciples.
Fang Mingyu did some ideological work on them yesterday.
Because if you fight desperately, you will not only hurt yourself, but also the winner. If the injury is too serious, such as if the Taoist Palace is damaged, it will be difficult to recover without a few years, and the Nanling event is imminent.
Of course, Yun Zong didn’t ask them to give up completely, but asked them to admit defeat directly when there was a huge gap in strength.
For example, if an ordinary person in the early stage of out-of-body experience meets Murong Huan, there is no doubt that you will try your best to inflict some damage on Murong Huan, but it will be meaningless. It will only force the Yun Sect disciples to participate in the Nanling event while dragging their injuries.
There was no need for the Yun Sect to hold this conference. It would have been much easier to just designate disciples to participate.
Under the persuasion of the leaders of various factions, many people seemed helpless.
However, whether to admit defeat or not still depends on the matching results.
"Number 1 versus Number 2, please ask the disciples from both teams to come on stage." Elder Qin announced.
As soon as these words came out, a bolt of lightning shot out from Thunder Cloud Peak and landed in the center of the field.
Number 1 is another heavyweight disciple, Ji Chunling, the senior sister of Lei Yunfeng. As soon as Ji Chunling came on stage, the face of a disciple in the early stage of out-of-body state on the main peak changed. If it were any other time, he would definitely give it a try.
But unfortunately, today they need to focus on the overall situation.
However, the disciple from the main peak still went on stage. But after going on stage, he first looked at Ji Chunling helplessly.
“Senior Sister Ji, the honor of our Yun Sect is in your hands.” The young man said with a bow.
Ji Chunling seemed to know what the other party meant, so she nodded solemnly.
"When I go to the Nanling event, I will try my best."
The young man heard this, smiled slightly and then announced loudly.
"I surrender."
When it comes to major issues, no one blames him for admitting defeat, because this is no longer a matter of personal honor. Those who are still participating in the competition are basically core disciples, and they all know the problems that Yun Sect will face.
"Number one wins and advances to the ranking competition. He can now try his luck at the ladder." Elder Qin announced.
But Ji Chunling shook her head and said to Elder Qin.
"Great Elder, I will give up the ranking competition and the qualification for the ladder ranking. Let this junior brother take it. I don't need it."
Ji Chunling's words stunned everyone. You know, the rewards for the ladder ranking are very generous, but Ji Chunling actually gave up directly. It seems that she was trying to make up for the other party's surrender and let him advance directly.
A smart person would know what Ji Chunling meant at a glance.
The Yun Sect's top leaders looked at each other and then nodded to Great Elder Qin.
"Well, Ji Chunling will naturally give the ranking tournament ladder quota to the other party, and then this quota will be inherited by No. 2." Elder Qin announced with a smile.
After these words were spoken, Murong Huan took the initiative to step forward and made a suggestion.
"Master, elders, I have a suggestion. It is already a great honor and opportunity for the winner to represent the Yun Sect in the Nanling event. I think it would be better to give the qualification of the Yunti ranking to the junior brothers and sisters who failed."
Murong Huan's words were immediately agreed by many people. Indeed, there was no need for them to fight for this ranking.
Chapter 318: Immortal Shadow (5000 words)
Murong Huan's suggestion can effectively eliminate the resentment of some of the disciples who admitted defeat, and can be regarded as a kind of compensation.
Soon, the chief disciples from each peak and the disciples from the sect all agreed after discussion. As a result, the rest of the people, even if they disagreed, had to obey the majority.
Ye Liuyun looked at the disciples of Yun Sect who gave up their qualifications for the ranking competition, and his negative views of Yun Sect suddenly diminished a lot.
After all, in the eyes of their subordinate sects, the Yun Sect is a sect that likes to suppress and plunder their outstanding disciples.
But in fact, after arriving at Yun Sect, I found that there was not much difference between Yun Sect and Yunxia Sect, except that there were more people.
The weaker disciples in the first five matches basically ended up admitting defeat. In the sixth match, Lin Aoxue took the stage, but unfortunately, after Lin Aoxue took the stage, his opponent did not admit defeat, because the opponent's realm was higher than Lin Aoxue, and it was not just a little bit higher.
The other party has no reason to admit defeat.
"Qingyun Peak, No. 11, Chen Lin." The other party introduced himself.
This person is probably the strongest opponent Lin Aoxue has ever encountered, he is in the early stage of out-of-body experience. There is no other way, no matter how you match up the last 200 people, you will encounter a cultivator of this level.
The Yun Sect's top leaders did not let this person admit defeat, because they wanted to see if Lin Aoxue had any hidden tricks that he had not used.
"An early stage foundation building vs. an early stage out-of-body experience. Under normal circumstances, this is a battle without any suspense. I don't know if Senior Sister Lin can create a miracle."
"Senior Sister Lin has the combat power of the Out-of-Body Realm, so don't worry."
As the referee announced the start, Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, and the Dao Palace vision behind her began to revive. With each palace that lit up on the Dao Palace vision, Lin Aoxue's aura became twice as strong. Until all the Dao Palaces were lit up, Lin Aoxue's strength increased by who knows how many times in one breath. The aura was already no less than that of an out-of-body experience, but she did not have the realm and ability of the Dao Palace's out-of-body experience.
But it seemed that there was more than that. After Lin Aoxue's Taoist palace group was fully lit up, a phantom gradually emerged behind Lin Aoxue. It was a woman in white whose face was obscured by the fog and could not be seen clearly. This woman floated behind Lin Aoxue, like a queen standing in the sky, ignoring the earth.
A sacred breath filled my face, and the strangest thing was that a mysterious music began to sound between heaven and earth, and no one knew where this music came from.
The eyes of the Yun Sect disciples were involuntarily focused on behind Lin Aoxue.
A pair of deep pupils were clearly visible on the face obscured by the mist, and she looked down at Chen Lin.
After the phantom appeared, everyone present, except Ye Liuyun, felt a terrifying chill and fear.
No one knew who this phantom was. Even Fang Mingyu and the others, after seeing this phantom, wanted to kneel down and worship it.
The boundless pressure seemed to make her feel that everyone under the sky was just ants.
"What is that? A woman? What kind of method is this?" Fang Mingyu and others also saw Lin Aoxue's method for the first time.
This is a new ability that Lin Aoxue gained after breaking through the Dao Palace. As long as she fully activates the Dao Palace, she can summon a feathered fairy shadow. Lin Aoxue is not clear about the specific abilities of this phantom at the moment, because she is only in the initial stage regarding her own physical condition.
Lin Aoxue turned her head to look at the shadow behind her, and while Lin Aoxue was looking at her, the shadow also lowered his head to look at Lin Aoxue.
"What a weird Taoist palace! Others have at most four, but she has a group. Who is this woman? Does she have some special physique?" Chen Lin was frightened by the pressure emanating from the phantom.
It felt like the person in front of me was an irresistible supreme emperor.
"Come on." After Lin Aoxue was ready, she gestured to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin bit his lip, took a deep breath, then mustered up his courage, made a sword gesture, and slashed at Lin Aoxue with the sword.
"Qingxiao Thunder Sword Technique." Chen Lin raised his hand and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed on his top-grade spiritual weapon. Then he waved it towards the location where Lin Aoxue was. The next moment, a golden lightning fell towards Lin Aoxue.
But what Chen Lin could not imagine was that at the moment when the golden thunder was about to hit Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue suddenly raised her head, with green light flowing in her eyes. The shadow behind her also glanced at the golden thunder, and the next moment, the golden thunder plopped and turned into nothingness.
Chen Lin was so frightened when he saw this scene that he took a few steps back.
"Impossible! My top-grade Taoist method was cracked so easily?" Chen Lin was so panicked.
The shadow behind Lin Aoxue had already put a lot of pressure on her, and now the pressure was even greater. While he was attacking Lin Aoxue, he felt like a mortal killing a god and overestimating his own abilities, which filled his heart.
"Wow, so cool! Is this the new ability of Aoxue's immortal body? I've never used it before." Ye Liuyun said in surprise, his eyes wide open.
"Lin Aoxue is a fairy figure who is immune to all kinds of attacks. In this state, no spell can work on her." Lin Qingyou said in a deep voice.
Ye Liuyun was even more shocked when he heard this.
"What? Immune to all kinds of attacks? And also have such a perverted and incredible ability? Why?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed.
"You may not know that the way to immortality did not exist originally. In the primordial era, there was an innate being called Yuhua. He created the method of becoming an immortal, pioneered the way to immortality, and eventually achieved the position of Heavenly Venerable. The Yuhua Immortal Body is the mark he left on the road. Let me tell you that there are ten most powerful physiques in this world. These ten physiques are unique, and each one has the ability to defy the heavens."
"Legend has it that if you want to defeat and break the Immortal Body, you can only rely on means other than the immortal way. Today I see that it is true." Lin Qingyou exclaimed.
Chen Lin didn't believe that his magic could not hurt Lin Aoxue, so he released the spell again. However, no matter how he attacked, his spell dissipated the moment it touched Lin Aoxue, and he couldn't exert any power at all.
This scene looked so desperate in the eyes of others that even Murong Huan and others were stunned.
"This? Is this an ability that a human cultivator can possess? Is this invulnerable to all kinds of attacks? That's impossible? Damn it, if that's the case, then isn't she inherently invincible? Is there such a thing?" The powerful disciples of Yun Sect were all thinking about this question.
However, they soon discovered that things were not as they imagined, because at the moment when Chen Lin's magic attack was ineffective, he suddenly flew his sword to attack Lin Aoxue, and this time the attack did not disappear. Lin Aoxue quickly stretched out her hand and used a sword to block the opponent's flying sword.
"Can it only resist spell attacks? It seems I'm overthinking it." Lin Aoxue frowned.
Chen Lin and Lin Aoxue finally fought back and immediately understood.
"Haha, you scared me. It turns out that spell attacks are useless and cannot resist all attacks. In that case, I have a way." Chen Lin found his weapon, and then used his own power to activate the weapon, and the top-grade spiritual weapon was fully revived.
He held the fully revived spiritual energy and slashed at Lin Aoxue with sword after sword. The power of the weapon was said to be a branch of the immortal way, but it was not the Taoism created by Yuhua Tianzun, but the Taoism created by Lingbao Tianzun.
Lin Aoxue snorted coldly, and the next moment, she raised the sword in her hand.
"Spring sunshine, scatter."
The weapon in Lin Aoxue's hand seemed to have disintegrated and turned into blue petals all over the sky. The petals flew out and blocked all of Chen Lin's sword light.
Lin Aoxue was using the Tianzong's Four Symbols of Heaven's Will, but it seemed that her mentality was different from when Lin Aoxue had just comprehended it.
