#486 - Eighth Generation: Contemplation of Impurity, the competition begins!

Inside the inner gate residence.

Lu Yuan was sitting cross-legged, silently reviewing what he had gained from this retreat.

"The Pure Lotus Heart Sutra was originally a unique Zen Buddhist technique, but I don't know why it ended up in the Qingyun Sect."

"This method focuses on training the mind, which complements the Self-Severing Sword Art and can greatly speed up my training."

"But the speed at which this method consumes resources is too terrifying."

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly.

Although this world is dominated by idealistic martial arts, cultivation resources are also indispensable.

Moreover, the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra believes that all practitioners are just passers-by struggling to survive in the world of mortals.

You need to use the mind as a guide and the body as a boat.

If the physical body is not solid, how can it carry oneself across the sea and reach the legendary other shore?

That's why.

While mental will is important, the physical body must also be exercised diligently.

In this way.

Compared with other methods, this method naturally consumes more cultivation resources.

certainly.

If you lose something, you will definitely gain something.

Although the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra is like a bottomless pit that devours resources, it also has a very significant effect in improving combat power.

Just like Lu Yuan, after practicing this method, he became full of energy, his mind was strong, and his body was indestructible.

Although he has only the sixth level of Spirit Sea cultivation, he can easily defeat a Soul Palace realm expert!

"The inner sect competition is coming soon, and it's time for me to leave."

Lu Yuan stood up and stretched.

Then he simply took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went out.

When he left his residence and headed for the inner gate square, he found that Qingyun Sect was already bustling with people.

There were people coming and going along the way, and from time to time one could see powerful people and guests from various forces.

Even occasionally there were one or two rainbow lights flashing across the sky, which were clearly powerful Nirvana-level beings at the level of the Supreme Elders!

"If the three realms of body forging, sea of ​​spirit, and palace of soul can still be called the martial arts, then the realm of Nirvana is the path of entering the Tao through martial arts. It has transformed from a mortal body and officially embarked on the path of cultivation."

Looking at those rainbow lights, Lu Yuan thought to himself.

Compared with the monks in Nirvana realm.

Even warriors as strong as those at the Soul Palace realm are like lower species that have not yet fully evolved. The two are not at the same level at all.

So for a behemoth like the Qingyun Sect.

This is the bell from the main peak. Once it rings, it means something big is happening.

"Six bell sounds mean that distinguished guests have arrived. Even the master of the sect has to greet them personally. It seems that the identities of these people are very extraordinary."

Lu Yuan pondered.

He followed the crowd, climbed up the stairs, and soon reached the main peak.

The main peak, which is usually a bit deserted, is bustling at this moment, with at least tens of thousands of disciples gathered here.

Looking around, there are people everywhere.

As for the dozens of mountains near the main peak, their tops were cut off by people with great magical powers, and they were used as the arena for this competition.

"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, come here quickly."

Lu Yuan stood in the crowd, quietly waiting for the competition to begin, but suddenly heard a familiar female voice.

He looked up and found Luo Xin standing on a stone pavilion not far away, waving at him enthusiastically.

Beside her, there were several young disciples with extraordinary bearing.

These disciples were dressed in dark gold robes, and each of them looked dignified and majestic. They were all the sect’s true disciples!

"Meet Senior Sister Luo Xin."

Lu Yuan just greeted Luo Xin, but he himself remained standing where he was and did not move over.

Because from the words and deeds of those true disciples of the sect, they all carried a hint of arrogance.

Obviously, only geniuses with the same true teachings are qualified to be on par with him.

If Lu Yuan took the initiative to move forward, he would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

"Is this the inner sect genius that the sect master has high hopes for?"

Hearing Luo Xin's words, the true disciples glanced at Lu Yuan indifferently, but then their faces changed slightly, as if they had encountered something incredible.

Because these true disciples were surprised to find out.

With their Soul Palace realm cultivation level, they were unable to see through Lu Yuan's realm and strength.

And when they concentrated and tried to force a further espionage.

Suddenly, everything went dark in front of his eyes, and all the mental energy he had released was like being cut off by a sharp sword, and he lost all contact with them in an instant.

"How is this possible! How can his mind and will be so strong that even we can avoid him?"

The faces of those sect's true disciples were pale and their expressions were extremely horrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

You have to know that those who can become the true descendants of a sect are all people of outstanding talent.

It can be said that no matter they are in terms of cultivation, comprehension, physique or martial will, they are the best among their peers.

But now.

They used all their methods, but none of them could see through Lu Yuan's depth.

Doesn't this mean.

Lu Yuan’s real combat power is even higher than theirs?

"The strong men in the Soul Palace have strong wills, and their souls can temporarily leave their bodies, but he is only at the Soul Sea Realm, so why does he have such a strong mental power?"

Those true disciples looked grim and could not accept this fact for a long time.

"I've said before that Junior Brother Lu Yuan is extremely talented, and is no less gifted than many of the True Disciples."

"You guys just refused to believe it, and now you're finally suffering the consequences, right?"

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

Then she looked at Lu Yuan again, with a hint of apology in her tone: "Brother Lu Yuan, please don't bother with them."

"Although Ye Chuan and the others are arrogant, they are not bad people by nature. After this lesson, they will never dare to look down on you again."

"You're joking, Senior Sister. These are just trivial matters."

Lu Yuan said calmly, not taking the matter to heart.

"There are always people who are better than you. No wonder the Sect Master is so optimistic about Junior Brother Lu Yuan. Today, I finally understand the reason."

A handsome disciple sighed, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, my name is Ye Chuan. It was us who offended you just now. Please forgive me."

"Junior brother, please come up and have a chat. This is a small gift from me. I hope you won't despise it."

The true disciple bowed and apologized.

None of those who can become the sect's true disciple are fools.

Although they were quite arrogant in front of the inner disciples, they did not dare to be careless when facing those of the same level.

After all, one more enemy is worse than one more friend.

What's more, there was no grudge between them and Lu Yuan. If they were to develop a grudge over such a small matter, it would definitely be more trouble than it would cause in the future.

While talking.

Ye Chuan took out a jade bottle from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Lu Yuan solemnly.

"Is this a top-grade Soul-Nourishing Pill?"

Lu Yuan climbed up the stone pavilion and looked at the jade bottle in Ye Chuan's hand, his expression suddenly changed.

He had received hundreds of top-grade Soul-Nourishing Pills from Han Qingxuan before, so he was naturally familiar with the pattern on the jade bottle.

"These sect disciples are really rich. Every time they spend money, they can get a bottle of Soul-Enriching Pill, which is enough to equal the savings of an inner sect disciple for half a year."

Lu Yuan's mind was in turmoil, and he spoke immediately.

"No, no, Senior Brother Ye Chuan is too polite. This is the first time we meet, how can I accept such an expensive gift?"

However, having said that, Lu Yuan did not slow down at all and directly took the bottle of Soul-Enriching Pill.

As for the other true disciples, in order to resolve the unpleasantness just now, they could only look painful on their faces and take out many elixirs and precious medicines to apologize.

Lu Yuan was not polite about these gifts and accepted them all.

At the same time, he felt a little emotional in his heart. This is the benefit brought by powerful strength.

As long as he is strong enough, even if he is the true disciple of the sect, what does it matter? Isn't it still necessary to apologize to him?

Otherwise, if other inner disciples encountered such a thing, even if they were dissatisfied, they would not dare to show it.

Luo Xin, who was watching this scene from the side, was also amazed, and there was a gleam of something strange in his eyes when he looked at Lu Yuan.

You have to know that Ye Chuan and his companions have always been arrogant and proud, and they don't even give face to the inner sect elders.

Except for a few true disciples of the sect, most of the other disciples of the sect are not in their eyes.

But now, they were in public, rushing to apologize to Lu Yuan, fearing that they would cause Lu Yuan's dissatisfaction.

Looking at the entire Qingyun Sect, perhaps only the eldest brother can make them so in awe.

When the other disciples near the sect square saw this, their eyes widened and their jaws almost dropped. Some of them could not believe what they saw.

As a true disciple of the sect with a respected status, when would he bow down to a mere inner sect disciple?

This scene was so bizarre, it was as incredible as the sun rising from the west!

"It seems that these sects' true disciples are just in name only. They were actually frightened like this by a mere inner sect disciple."

Another high pavilion.

A gloomy young man exuding a murderous intent couldn't help but reveal a sneer on his face.

His aura was as deep as hell, like a killing god forged in a sea of ​​blood and corpses. Just a glance from him was enough to send shudders down the spines of many inner disciples.

Beside him, there were more than a dozen elite disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall, surrounding this gloomy young man like stars surrounding the moon.

"Junior Brother Zhao Xu is right. Lu Yuan thinks he is so great just because he killed Lin Hu. In fact, he is just trying to attract attention."

"When he meets Junior Brother Zhao Xu, he will understand what true despair is!"

The Law Enforcement Hall disciples who were usually cold and ruthless were now all smiling and flattering.

Because they knew very well what kind of amazing background and cultivation this gloomy young man in front of them had.

Before he turned thirty, he had already achieved the first level of Soul Palace cultivation.

Such talent is unprecedented in the entire Qingyun Sect.

Not to mention, behind Zhao Xu stood the head of the Law Enforcement Hall and a supreme elder.

With his status and strength, it is absolutely certain that he will win the top spot in the inner sect this time, and no one can shake it!

at the same time.

While several Nirvana Realm powerhouses sitting on the high platform were greeting each other, their attention was also attracted by what was happening on Lu Yuan's side.

"Oh? That's the guy who killed Lin Hu alone not long ago?"

A sloppy old man with messy hair looked at Lu Yuan and was immediately quite surprised.

The old man looked dirty and his clothes were tattered.

His body was smelly and covered with a thick layer of black dirt, as if he hadn't taken a bath in decades.

If you look closely.

You will find that among his beard and hair that grow like weeds, there are even fleas and fat maggots crawling in and out, which is simply shocking.

Ordinary people would have nightmares for several nights just by taking one look at it!

The other Nirvana Realm warriors all avoided him and kept a distance from him, unwilling to stay with the sloppy old man.

But the sloppy old man didn't care. Instead, he acted as he pleased and even tapped his toes with his hands in public.

"The mind is like a sword, cutting off all distracting thoughts. What a strong will of mind, even better than my disciples of Jinglingzhai. It's true that the young are to be feared."

"If I am not mistaken, he has a strong body and a solid soul. He should have also practiced the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra of your Qingyun Sect."

"This boy is so young and yet he has mastered this method to such an extent. Your Qingyun Sect has produced a good seedling."

As the sloppy old man spoke, his nostrils twitched twice, and he felt a little itchy. He then used the fingers that had just tickled his toes to poke them into his nostrils and tickled them a few times.

"Daoyou Weihe, you are joking. The impure view of your Jinglingzhai is the supreme path. Although this boy has some talent, how can he be compared with you?"

Han Qingxuan's eyelids twitched, but as the host, he took a deep breath, suppressed his inner discomfort, and forced a smile.

"Master Han is right. Jinglingzhai believes that the world is filthy and we are the only one who is pure. We only need to visualize all kinds of impurities to cut off all distracting thoughts and greed. It is similar to the Jinglian Heart Sutra that this young friend is practicing."

"I think this boy has a talent for practicing the Unclean View. If Sect Master Han is willing to give him up, how about letting him join our Jinglingzhai?"

The sloppy old man said it bluntly, not considering himself an outsider at all.

"Fellow Daoist Wei He is right, but the path of cultivation is all about fate. Every disciple has his own path to follow. How can we, the elders, rashly interfere?"

"How to practice is up to them to decide."

Han Qingxuan laughed it off and didn't say anything more to the old man.

In fact.

Although the sloppy old man looks dirty and messy, his cultivation is earth-shaking and he has already reached the late stage of Nirvana.

Looking at the entire Dali Dynasty, they are among the most powerful.

That's why.

Even though Han Qingxuan was the leader of a sect, he could only endure the old man's slovenly appearance silently and dared not show any dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the sloppy old man was still trying to hold on to the matter, Han Qingxuan immediately stood up and announced loudly.

"The time has come, the inner sect competition has officially begun!"

His voice was not loud, but when it reached everyone's ears, it was like rolling thunder, echoing in everyone's mind.

As soon as the words fell.

Immediately, hundreds of elders rushed into the air and began to preside over the drawing of lots for the competition.

According to the sect rules.

In each inner sect competition, opponents will be randomly assigned and then they will compete with each other. The winner will enter the next round.

This cycle repeats until the leader of this inner sect is selected! (End of this chapter)
