C98 (1/2)
”Run in circles, you two little fellows.”
When the starlight dispersed, Taoist Master Xing Luo's figure appeared in front of the two of them again. However, all the incense on the ground had already burnt up.
”Tsk, that isn't the power of space. It seems to be some sort of 'Dao'.” Zhou Tong sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself in his heart.
In the battle just now, when Taoist Master Xing Luo used a move that was like a surging river of stars, Zhou Tong instantly lost all sense of direction. Under the encirclement of the vast sea of stars, Zhou Tong could not feel the slightest trace of Taoist Master Xing Luo's presence at all, to the point where he was wasting all his time doing this.
However, Zhou Tong was very clear that this move was not an advanced spatial energy, but rather a type of dao, or more accurately speaking, some kind of unknown pathway. However, that unremarkable pathway, had actually become the main reason for the two's failure to challenge it.
In reality, what surprised Zhou Tong the most was that he could not even replicate the [Mo Li Sword Art] 's' Mirror Flower Moon '. It was obvious that this was a very special type of path, similar to Yue Qingyao's attack, and completely did not belong to the category of spells.
With a bit of helplessness, Zhou Tong turned around and dragged the Yue Qingyao who still had not figured out the situation, and began the so-called punishment of running away. However, in his heart, he kept guessing and hypothetical, studying that strange small path.
Days passed, and Taoist Master Xing Luo's last round of teaching did not seem to be of much help to the Zhou Tong duo. They knew that on the last day of training, Zhou Tong was still unable to think of a way to break this technique.
In the blink of an eye, the four great competitions that were the talk of the Cloud Court Empire were right before their eyes.
He did not know if he should call Taoist Master Xing Luo's face black or pale. The lot drawing for the venue of the competition was actually for no apparent reason, it was drawn at the Star Gauze Sword Sect. In an instant, all the sects from all over Cloud Dynasty, as well as the bystanders, had filled up all of the guest shops and lodgings in the Star Gauze City.
Three days later, Star Gauze Sword Sect's Peak Plaza.
The opening ceremony of the Cultivator's Competition was held in the plaza at the peak of Star Gauze Sword Sect.
In order to open this opening ceremony, as well as to provide a good venue for the upcoming competition, in recent days, all the disciples of the sect who practiced the two types of earth and wood cultivation technique have been captured and used as laborers, rushing and rushing. Finally, on the day before the opening ceremony, they turned the Star Gauze Sword Sect's public square at the top of the mountain into a huge arena.
As the most magnificent competition in the world of cultivators, it attracted not only the attention of the cultivators, but also the citizens of every city, from the royal family to the nobles.
In the coming period of time, all the preliminary rounds will be held here.
Early in the morning, before the sun had even risen from the east, the transformed Star Gauze Sky Platform had already welcomed a huge audience.
Since they had arrived so early, the audience naturally wasn't here to fight for a seat. Every expensive ticket had its own seat number, and they were here to witness the young cultivators participating in the competition on the first day of the opening ceremony and witness the glory of the 'golden generation' with their own eyes.
Many of the nobles who bought tickets to the VIP area were gathered outside. The nobles were never tired of recruiting cultivators. A competition of this scale was the cradle of talent. Not to mention those who could achieve a certain number of results, even if it was just the disciples of the various sects participating in the competition, they would still be fought over by nobles and clans.
At this time, with the Star Gauze Sword Sect at the center, almost one third of the Star Gauze City looked empty. From this, it could be seen how attractive this competition was to the people. From the entrance of the Star Gauze Sword Sect to the end of the street, the entire city had to mobilize over ten thousand city guards to maintain order. Only then did riots occur.
”Wow, so many people!” Yue Qingyao could not help but exclaim. She looked left and right, at this kind of situation where people were crowding together. Normally, she would not even have the chance to see it.
Zhou Tong calmly followed beside her, acting as her bodyguard. She lowered her head as much as she could to prevent others from seeing her appearance.
It was not because Zhou Tong kept a low profile, it was because Taoist Master Xing Luo had designed this competition dress in order to showcase his vast and profound culture. It was simply too exaggerated.
