Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 245: Zong Competition!

After the strange phenomenon of listening to the tide by the sea came to an end, Ding Chen clenched his fist lightly: "The third level of Xuanhai Realm? Not bad."

"With my current Xuan Cultivation Realm, anyone below the Earth Crystal Realm is not worth even a sneer at."

"Even if I encounter a cultivator in the Earth Crystal Realm, I will be able to fight him!"

Thinking of this, Ding Chen couldn't help but raise a calm smile at the corner of his mouth.

For Ding Chen, who practices "Taichuang Wuji Gong", the power and reserves of his own mysterious energy far exceed those of other practitioners at the same level.

When Ding Chen still possessed the "attributeless mysterious energy", this advantage had already been clearly revealed.

Now, after successfully swallowing and refining the [Soul Flame Ghost Fire], Ding Chen, who possesses the "Fire Attribute Mysterious Energy", has the power and reserves of mysterious energy, and can kill those of the same realm in seconds!

And corresponding to it is——

Ding Chen, who practices "Taihuang Wuji Gong", needs several times, or even dozens of times, more spiritual energy resources to advance to each level than ordinary practitioners!

If not for this, a top-grade Xuan-level mutant elemental spirit, plus all the belongings in the storage rings of Fang Jianfeng and others...

During this trip, Ding Chen will be able to push his Xuan cultivation realm to the peak of Xuanhai realm!

How could it be that he was only at the third level of Xuanhai Realm?

"Next, it's time to do some cleanup work."

Thinking of this, Ding Chen decisively summoned a wisp of the remaining energy of [Soul Flame Ghost Fire] from his body and threw it into the bottom of the cave.

Afterwards, the energy that blocked the "sealing formation" and the "monitoring formation" was removed, and the scene was restored to its appearance before the incident, creating the illusion that the [Willow Fire] had been sealed all along.

That bit of energy that was destined to be lost here was just a drop in the bucket compared to the entire [Soul Flame Ghost Fire].

By doing this, Ding Chen can buy most of the day and thus clear himself of the suspicion of stealing the [Ghost Fire]. Why not do it?

After all the deployments were completed, the waist badge sounded at this moment.

Afterwards, Ding Chen, who pretended to be unconscious, just like the other disciples, rubbed his head in a daze and walked out listlessly.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he was stopped by a core disciple passing by: "Hey, all of you, come and give me a hand!"

The errand disciples who had just walked out of the cave looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a team of more than ten disciples, struggling to carry a blue-black stone pillar that was three meters long and four people wide, and walking quickly forward.

There is a faint stream of light flowing on the stone pillars, which is very mysterious!

The other disciples were all stunned by the huge pillar and had no idea what it was.

Only Ding Chen understood this thing clearly after just one glance.

"This thing is called Thunder Rock Gold Iron. It is a relatively common material used to support and arrange formations."

"From the flickering light on the Thunder Rock Iron Pillar..."

"It must have been planted with the 'Power of the Array Spirit'. Before releasing the Array Spirit, it was inconvenient to store it in the storage ring, so it was given to these disciples to carry away, right?"

"The Thunder Rock Metal is extremely heavy to begin with, and with the power of the formation spirit embedded in it, it's no wonder that the more than ten Soul Gathering Realm cultivators, plus two Xuanhai Realm Level 2 cultivators, have a hard time carrying it."

Just as Ding Chen was looking at these disciples who were in a hurry.

The leading core disciple frowned in displeasure: "You bunch of stinky servants, are you deaf? Why don't you roll over and help us?!"

Upon hearing this, the errand disciples all looked bitter.

Someone pleaded softly, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that we just completed the task of guarding the [Willow Fire], and we are almost exhausted."

"So even if it is your order, Senior Brother, we are willing but unable to do it."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Please forgive me, fellow brothers..."

"What are you talking about? Come over here and help!"

The core disciple said without question: "Now is the critical moment for our sect to participate in the 'Ten Sects Competition'."

"If you losers delay the sect's victory over the enemy, you will be skinned alive!"

"what?"

"But, but I didn't..."

The errand disciple originally wanted to say that he did not accept the task.

Even if the sect were to hold someone responsible, it would not be on my head.

Before he could finish his words, the core disciple's storage ring suddenly lit up with a white light.

Immediately afterwards, several bottles of pills flew towards Ding Chen and others.

"These are all lower-grade spiritual pills. Any one of them can be worth five spiritual stones."

"Now, if you just help carry the things, you will all get two or three lower-grade spiritual pills."

"Besides that, you can also gain gratitude from me as a core disciple!"

"Whether you want help or not, it's up to you!"

I have to say that money is still what moves people.

For these menial disciples struggling at the bottom of the sect, they can earn pills worth more than ten or twenty spirit stones just by helping to carry things.

Can he even gain the gratitude of a core disciple?

This is a good job that I would never dare to dream of in normal times!

Then, these disciples, who had already been exhausted, forced themselves to cheer up and went forward to help.

What's worse, some people even don't forget to use all their strength to flatter others.

In their opinion, how can this be considered helping to move things?

This is clearly a shortcut to get on top of the world...

Ding Chen, who had just refined the [Soul Flame Ghost Fire], naturally did not want to act too eccentric in order to avoid arousing suspicion.

So he followed the crowd and moved forward, acting together with other chores disciples.

With the addition of Ding Chen and others, the team did move faster.

Now, the dozen or so inner sect and core disciples were not as tired as before.

Simply activated [Spiritual Transmission] and started chatting with each other—

"Thanks to Senior Brother Zhuang, we can be so relaxed."

"Not bad!"

"But the elder who asked us to move the things specifically instructed that cultivators below the first level of Soul Gathering Realm must not touch the [Thunder Rock Gold Iron Pillar]."

"If we do this, will it be possible..."

"What are you afraid of? We can send them away when we are almost there. We won't let the elders see us."

"Let's take a step back and say, even if we are caught, so what? It would only be the loss of a few menial disciples."

"With our status and position, the most we'll get is a scolding."

"As for those stinky servants, whether they live or die has nothing to do with me."

"Weakness is the original sin!"

"That's right. Who told them they were unlucky? We caught them and captured them as soldiers?"

"Besides, I, Zhuang Youliang, was generous enough to pay them!"

"Right!"

As a result, these more than ten inner sect and core disciples all felt at ease.

These guys didn't know that every word they said while activating the [Telepathic Telepathy] was heard by Ding Chen without missing a word!

After reaching the "third level of Xuanhai Realm" in the realm of Xuanxiu, Ding Chen's gradually awakening soul realm even reached the astonishing fourth level of Dijing Realm!

Looking at these more than ten inner disciples and core disciples, the strongest in the Xuanxiu realm is only at the second level of the Xuanhai realm, and the soul realm is also equivalent to it.

When the difference between the two parties' spiritual realms exceeds a large "level";

Every word spoken by the weak party when they activate [Spiritual Transmission] will be intercepted and heard by the party with stronger soul!

After Ding Chen carefully sensed it for a moment, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the power of the formation spirit injected into this thunder rock gold iron is used to contain the breath of the mysterious spirit."

"In this case, anyone who comes into close contact with it will be affected to varying degrees."

"Those who are above the Soul Gathering Stage are fine. The impact is not that great. They can recover as before after a period of rest."

"But cultivators below the Soul Gathering Stage are in a miserable state. At best, their profound energy will stagnate, hindering their progress in cultivation."

"In the worst case, you will be stuck at your current level of Xuan Xiu for the rest of your life, with no hope of advancement!"

"These core and inner disciples, none of them can hold back their farts..."

Ding Chen was filled with anger, and quietly activated the power of the formation master. Without anyone noticing, he made slight changes to the formation pattern on the [Thunder Rock Gold and Iron Pillar].

He reduced the influence of [Thunder Rock Gold Iron Pillar] on the menial disciples to the lowest level.

Just keep your eyes on those dozen or so core and inner disciples!

In this situation, when everyone carried the [Thunder Rock Gold Iron Pillar] to the designated location, more than ten disciples headed by Zhuang Youliang all had black foreheads and white lips.

It was as if a piercing chill ran through my whole body!

"Strange, why do I feel like the power of the mysterious spirit is gradually moving away from me?"

"Also, my waist feels like it's going to break."

"Maybe you're too tired. Just take a good rest for two days."

Zhuang Youliang pounded his waist and urged, "Let's go, let's go watch the game!"

"Brother Zhuang is so impatient, he must want to see Sister Wei as soon as possible, right?"

"Nonsense, who wouldn't be confused by Wei Sanniang's stunning beauty?"

"According to the time, the Ten Sects Competition should have reached its final stage by now."

"If anything happens to Senior Sister Wei, if luck strikes, I might be able to play the hero and save the beauty, and win her heart..."

After hearing the telepathic communication from those guys, Ding Chen sneered in his heart, "Haha, you are being suppressed by the spirit of the [Thunder Rock Gold Iron Pillar], so there is no chance of you being a 'hero saving the beauty'."

"'Bear Bending Back' is destined to have a share for you!"

"But then again, my maids have gone to participate in the 'Ten Sects Competition';"

"As the owner, I should go to the scene and take a look..."
