The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 499: Grand Entrance!

Chapter 499: Grand Entrance!

The next morning, Elder Yao delivered the list of the ten disciples participating in the triennial martial arts competition to the main hall of the main peak.

Accompanying him were the peak leaders from each peak and nine recommended disciples from the Wenxian Sect.

Naturally, the final spot belonged to Lin Xian'er.

Today, Lin Xian'er wore a martial outfit and exuded a spirited and heroic aura.

Ling Feng sat on the sect leader's throne, his gaze sweeping over the nine young disciples in the hall. Most of them were a few years older than him, but in the path of martial arts, the most accomplished are the foremost.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

All the disciples bowed and saluted Ling Feng in unison.

"Rise!"

Ling Feng nodded slightly. These disciples seemed to be in good condition, and with the teachings and martial arts he had brought back, their skills would improve rapidly in a few years.

They would become the pillars of the Wenxian Sect.

A sect with only a strong sect leader was not the right path.

"Sect Leader, all of the disciples are ready and we can proceed to Leiyun Peak for the triennial martial arts competition," Elder Yao said solemnly.

"Good, let's not delay any further. Let's depart now."

Ling Feng nodded, not wasting any time. He didn't take the Qiankun Sect and Liuyun Sword Sect seriously.

After today, these two sects would bow before the Wenxian Sect!

......

The Xianzong Mountains were endowed with spiritual energy.

Although the super sects looked down upon this mountain range, it remained a precious haven for second and third-rate sects.

Situated near the Luofeng Canyon to the west, the vast wilderness to the east, and the endless sea to the west...

The Xianzong Mountains were rich in resources, offering plenty of places to hunt low-tier demonic beasts and obtain demonic cores. This was highly beneficial for the development of any sect.

However, Hanwu County was considered a remote backwater place and was unappealing to the super sects, which left the top three sects to establish their sects here.

Every three years, the Wenxian Sect, Qiankun Sect, and Liuyun Sword Sect would hold the triennial martial arts competition at Leiyun Peak to determine the allocation of hunting and plant resources in the Xianzong Mountains.

Ling Feng had little interaction with the Qiankun Sect before, but he had slain many disciples of the Liuyun Sword Sect during his time as an inner sect disciple of the Wenxian Sect.

He recalled killing Di Jingtian, who had claimed he would sweep through the Wenxian Sect's inner sect, with a single punch.

It seemed just like yesterday.

Soon, the group spread their wings of true qi and soared into the sky, finally arriving at a verdant mountain.

"Sect Leader, this is Leiyun Mountain. The peak is Leiyun Peak. The top three sects established a rule that any sect arriving here must climb the mountain on foot. This is the agreement of the top three sects."

Elder Yao explained.

Ling Feng nodded. It was similar to the tradition of walking up to a sect's mountain gate rather than flying in to preserve the sect's dignity.

The treaty set by the top three sects was about maintaining their collective dignity.

However, from today onwards, there would be no more top three sects.

"Let's go," Ling Feng said with a faint smile as he began to walk towards the mountain peak.

Lin Xian'er, along with the other dozens of disciples and elders, followed closely behind.

At Leiyun Peak, a large arena had been erected, along with several high platforms designated for the sect leaders and elders of the top three sects to observe the competition.

Currently, one of the platforms was already occupied by about thirty to forty people. Judging by their robes, they were disciples of the Qiankun Sect.

Seated on the main throne was a middle-aged daoist with thick eyebrows and big eyes who exuded an imposing aura without anger.

His cultivation level was around the second level of the Transformation Realm.

This middle-aged Daoist was none other than Daoist Tian Yun of the Qiankun Sect.

The Qiankun Sect’s mountain gate was the closest to Leiyun Peak, so they arrived first.

Daoist Tian Yun lightly stroked his long beard as a faint smile appeared on his face. He had recently acquired an artifact, so he was confident that it would give him an edge in the upcoming sect leader battle.

"I've heard that the Liuyun Sword Sect recently accepted an extraordinary disciple. He might stand out in the disciples' competition."

A thin, goateed old daoist standing beside Daoist Tian Yun whispered.

"Junior Brother Cang Song, rest assured. The disciples' competition only accounts for thirty percent of the overall outcome. As for the sect leaders' battle, I am confident in my victory," Daoist Tian Yun replied with a faint smile. "The Liuyun Sword Sect's Cao Tailai might have decent swordsmanship, but he was already defeated by me three years ago. As for the Wenxian Sect, I've heard they've appointed a young man as their new sect leader."

Daoist Tian Yun laughed, shaking his head. "If Duanmu Qingshan were still the sect leader, I might have some reservations about the Wenxian Sect. But a greenhorn who assumed the position under emergency circumstances? What threat could he possibly pose to me?"

"Indeed." Daoist Cang Song nodded, his gaze suddenly fixated on the approaching path. "The Wenxian Sect is here!"

"Mhmm." Daoist Tian Yun's sharp eyes locked onto the group from the Wenxian Sect, focusing on the young man leading them.

Gasp! He was startled. "Strange, this young man is only at the Pulse Formation Realm, yet his gaze is so intimidating!"

Ling Feng had noticed the old daoist scrutinizing him. From the start, he had no intention of appearing weak. He wanted to fully display the Wenxian Sect's strength, so he directly unleashed his Slaughterous Sword Will.

Daoist Tian Yun, who had not encountered many real prodigies, could not fathom the extent of true talent's power.

"Hmph, no matter how strong his aura is, a Pulse Formation Realm cultivator is still just a Pulse Formation Realm cultivator. Besides, I have my treasure!"

Daoist Tian Yun took a deep breath, turning his gaze to another path.

The Liuyun Sword Sect should be arriving soon.

Whoosh!

As the Wenxian Sect members entered their viewing area, another group ascended from the opposite side of Leiyun Peak.

This group, upon reaching the summit, drew their swords simultaneously and pointed them skyward. Thirty-six strands of sword qi intertwined, and the group’s high-pitched shouts formed a massive wave of sound that swept through the clouds and created an imposing spectacle.

"Thirty-Six Heavenly Sword Array!"

Swish! Swoosh!

The sword qi crisscrossed as the disciples launched their flying swords, landing gracefully on the high platform before sheathing their swords.

One had to admit, it was a very flamboyant entrance!

Ling Feng touched his nose, secretly amused. Using such a flashy method, are they trying to intimidate the other two sects?

But in the end, strength speaks louder than words. Hopefully, they can maintain their swagger on the way back down the mountain!
