Chapter 199 The competition begins

On Jiuye Mountain, the main trunk of the White Cedar Spirit Tree is extremely thick, like a pillar reaching the sky, reaching up to the clouds.

The spiritual leaves of the white fir are also extremely outstanding, clustered one after another, exuding an emerald green spiritual light.

What's amazing is that there are one or two huge spiritual leaves every 100 meters, like a spiritual platform for cultivation. The nine spiritual leaves create nine enlightenment platforms that are held once every ten years.

The monks who went up the mountain all stopped to look into the distance, amazed by the vastness of the White Cedar Spiritual Tree and the mystery of the Enlightenment Spiritual Platform, and were increasingly looking forward to today's Nine-Leaf Competition.

Lin Shiming was also among them, along with Xie An and Lin Xianzhi.

The Nine-leaf Competition is held on the mountainside of Jiuye Mountain, but it is within the territory of the Spiritual Beast Sect. Unless monks from the Purple Mansion can only climb the mountain on foot.

There are surprisingly many monks coming and going. In addition to the prosperity of Jiuye City, it is also related to the withdrawal of a large number of monks from Tianhe Prefecture into Jiuye City.

The monks from the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Training Sect may attack the city at any time. Naturally, the number of monks practicing in seclusion has become increasingly rare. Instead, more and more people have come to watch the Nine-Leaf Competition.

The three of them took their time and rushed to a huge square. There were many beast fighting platforms built in the square. These were usually used by the Spirit Beast Sect to control beasts and fight animals. Today, they were all empty.

The viewing platform was also filled with monks.

In addition to the viewing platform, there are towering leaf viewing pavilions above.

The viewing platform is where all Spirit Beast Sect disciples and other sects' foundation-building monks watch, while the viewing pavilion is prepared for the Zifu monks.

Lin Shiming also took the license plate that Xie An had applied for in advance and registered it with the deacon of the Spiritual Beast Sect.

This time, there are thirty-two foundation-building monks participating in the Nine-leaf Competition, which is not a large number. However, you must know that the requirements for the Nine-leaf Competition are foundation-building monks who are under sixty years old. If you want to stand out, you must at least be A monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building before he was sixty years old.

After breaking through the foundation building, unlike practicing qi, you can break through once every few years. If you are not talented enough, you will often not be able to break through the middle stage of the foundation building for thirty or forty years.

Just like Lin Shiming's father Lin Houyuan, it has been nearly twenty years since he broke through the foundation building, but he has not even been able to condense his true energy.

Therefore, even sect monks, if not for their strong talents, would not be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building before the age of sixty.

Among them, there are even fewer monks who have confidence in themselves and are willing to fight hard. There are only thirty-two people. Due to the wars this year and the frequent emergence of prototypes of Zifu in the Enlightenment Platform last time, there are only thirty-two people.

Of course, the thirty-two people who participated this year are all extremely powerful. Among them, there is only one monk from the Foundation Establishment family, Lin Shiming, and only five monks from the Zifu family. The remaining 26 people are all sect monks.

Lin Shiming stood on the observation platform and was also observing the other monks. Among them, there were only three who were highly praised by the stars, Chen Yuan of the Spirit Beast Sect, Xu Hao of the Spirit Talisman Sect, and Ye Changyuan of the Ye Family.

Among the three, Chen Yuan put the greatest pressure on Lin Shiming. He also relied on the golden-winged mantis and the red-haired demon monkey, and the latter probably had more spiritual beasts than him and was more powerful.

Next is Ye Changyuan. The monks of the Ye family are also very famous in Qingxuan Sect, and this one is the best among them.

"Okay, welcome everyone to Spirit Beast Sect Jiuye Mountain, I am Sanye, and my master Baishan Zhenren!" On the high platform, a monk wearing a Sanye Taoist robe walked out.

Sanye Sanren's words also made all the monks in the square listen.

"This Nine Leaves Conference is still managed by me. Anyone who is above the foundation level and under sixty years old can participate. In the end, two people will be selected to get the quota for enlightenment. This sect does not charge fees, but those who successfully achieve enlightenment need to be spiritual beasts. The sect should do what he can and participate in resisting the demon sect in Jiuye City for at least three years..." Sanye Sanren continued to introduce.

Since Xie An talked about it in advance, Lin Shiming was no stranger to these things. As for participating in the Demon Sect's resistance, he himself had to resist here because of his relationship with the Qingxuan Sect.

"Okay, without further ado, let's start drawing lots!" Sanye Sanren took the labels representing their respective lists from the deacon, and then waved his hand.

I saw those tags forming two by two high in the air, and then heading towards the vacant fighting stages.

These beast-fighting platforms are where Spiritual Beast Sect disciples usually fight. Each of these beast-fighting platforms has reinforced formations.

Thirty-two people's names also appeared on the sixteen beast-fighting stages.

Lin Shiming was on the fifth beast fighting platform, and his opponent was a peak mid-level foundation-building monk from the Spirit Talisman Sect.

After Lin Shiming came to power, a deacon from the Spiritual Beast Sect emerged as the referee.

With his wave of hands, the two began to fight.

I saw the young monk opposite, taking out three spiritual talismans and pressing them down. The first one was the third-grade high-grade spiritual talisman Earth Shield Talisman, the second one was the third-grade high-grade wood binding technique, and the third one was the third-order high-grade golden sword technique. .

As soon as the young monk finished releasing it, he was extremely proud. Once he released these three spiritual talismans, even the monks in the late stage of foundation building could fight.

What's more, he was facing a monk from a small family.

Moreover, Lin Shiming didn't take action yet!

The vines all over the sky began to twine towards Lin Shiming, and then the golden sword with great light came slashing towards him. The young monk was so proud that he took out a high-grade flying sword and slashed towards Lin Shiming.

However, at this time, Lin Shiming finally took action. First, he used the Purple Wood Xuantian Sword Formation. The nine swords turned into a sword curtain, completely cutting all the vines to form a sword formation, and instantly blocked the golden sword talisman.

The young monk was instantly horrified, but he soon sneered.

The cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building is almost the limit when it comes to controlling nine magical swords, and there is no chance of defense at all.

While sneering, the young monk raised his hand slightly, and the luxurious spiritual talismans belonging to the Spirit Talisman Sect appeared one by one, a total of ten, and they were all third-level high-grade spiritual talismans.

Fire Snake Technique, Golden Sword Technique, Wood Binding Technique, and Ice Arrow Technique attacked Lin Shiming from four directions, and countless thorns surged up from the ground.

In an instant, the aura exploded, and all kinds of spells filled the entire beast fighting arena, drowning Lin Shiming.

All the onlookers monks also sighed, especially those from the Foundation Establishment family, who felt it was a pity.

Lin Shiming's formation sword is indeed elegant, but it is also full of shortcomings. With his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, how can he control it, not to mention that sword cultivation requires thunder attacks.

Not only did the monks from the Spirit Talisman Sect steal the opportunity, but they also didn't release the spiritual shield!

However, to everyone's surprise, a huge shield suddenly appeared in front of Lin Shiming, and the surging starlight blocked all spells.

The sword formation cut off almost all the vines and headed towards the Spirit Talisman Sect monks.

"Impossible!" The Spirit Talisman Sect monk suddenly shouted in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Lin Shiming not only has the power to control the formation sword, but also has the power to control the top-grade spiritual shield. In his opinion, this is simply a fantasy.

This requires at least the spiritual consciousness in the late stage of foundation building, and Lin Shiming's cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
