Anger rose in her heart, "Hmph! Then Senior Brother will watch with wide eyes! " With that, she no longer watched Shen Chang act, and turned to leave.
Shen Chang was startled, as though he was surprised by Gu Qing's sudden outburst. However, he didn't take it to heart. With a cold smile, he too turned around and left in the opposite direction.
After Gu Qing walked a distance, she calmed down and looked a little regretful. Why couldn't she hold back her temper and break her skills just now? If Shen Chang found out about this, then her identity would be exposed soon. After all, the two of them had known each other for ten years.
She immediately made up her mind that she must never get too close with Shen Chang in the future. Even if she had to get closer, she must reduce the chance to talk to him.
After eliminating all these distracting thoughts, Gu Qing returned to her cave and started to concentrate on cultivation.
With her current strength, even though she was just a step away from Later Period of Foundation Stage, using three months to break through this threshold was still too risky. After all, this threshold seemed to be easy, and it was not a good time to break through it.
Therefore, she quickly decided to give up on raising her cultivation in the next three months and focused on training the skills in the Seven Deaths of Soul. Her entire cultivation technique came from her Huaqing Palace. If she wanted to make a move in public and could not use the Withered Handprint as she wished, it would be difficult to guarantee that she would be able to use it. That way, her identity would be exposed.
But now that she had the Seven Deaths of Soul, listening to the meaning of Wang Lin's words, there were very few people who could obtain the light of the inheritance, and every cultivation technique was different, even if she used the Seven Deaths of Soul, no one would know that it was the light of the inheritance from the Xuanhua Sect.
When Gu Qing obtained the Seven Deaths of Soul, she knew that the technique was not inferior to the Withered Handprint in her hands. One was for one-on-one attacks, and the other was for group attacks. Furthermore, the safest thing was that the first few moves of the Seven Deaths of Soul were not as heaven-defying as the last ones, so even if she used them, no one would pay too much attention to them.
Although this technique was powerful, it was also extremely limited in terms of cultivation. With her current strength, she could only cultivate the first form of the technique, and after cultivating it successfully, she would be able to make all three of the opponents within ten meters of her faint for two breaths of time.
In the blink of an eye, it was already decided who would win and who lose. Although the first three moves of the Seven Deaths of Soul were supportive techniques, these two breaths of time was more than enough for her to turn the situation around.
Gu Qing immediately closed her eyes and started to circulate the spiritual energy in her body according to the technique she had learned. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, but Gu Qing had yet to even figure out how to enter the sect. Fortunately, she had mentally prepared herself in advance. At this moment, she didn't panic and continued to channel her spiritual energy to probe around.
When Gu Qing was doing her best to cultivate the first move of the Seven Deaths of Soul, all of the Foundation Period disciples present within the sect were trying their best to raise their cultivation.
One month later, Gu Qing breathed out a mouthful of impure Qi and slowly opened her eyes. She sighed to herself that the Seven Deaths of Soul was indeed not simple. It took her one month to learn it with just the method of luck.
After that, she would train the first move of the Seven Deaths of Soul nonstop, day and night, according to the method of luck described by the Seven Deaths of Soul. Unfortunately, the first style was only auxiliary. It couldn't be seen through like other offensive techniques unless someone tried it out.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Gu Qing felt that she could now freely release and retract the first form of the Seven Deaths of Soul.
Three months was already up. Even if Gu Qing wanted to practice more, she didn't dare delay any longer. If it was only an ordinary secret realm, perhaps she would not waste any time cultivating the Seven Deaths of Soul. After all, as long as she mastered the last two or three moves, she would not even fear the Qing Hee Immortal.
If she missed this opportunity, there definitely wouldn't be a next time. Moreover, Qing Hee Immortal was also a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, but his aptitude was not as good as Yun Tian's, so he was fundamentally unable to enter the Ancient Ruins. Furthermore, the people who were investigating the whereabouts of the spiritual wine would probably not enter the Ancient Ruins either. If that was the case, then even if she returned empty-handed, there would be more benefits than disadvantages.
After hearing the sect's bell, Gu Qing knew that the time for the competition had come to an end, and walked out of her cave. When she arrived at the plaza at the inner Xuanhua Sect area, the several hundred Foundation Period disciples had already gathered at almost the same time.
The Law Enforcing Elders and the few other management elders were all present. There were also Qing Xu and a few other people who had yet to go into seclusion.
The bell sounds continued to ring for nearly a quarter of an hour before it finally died down. Nearly ten elders and real people turned their heads to look at the Foundation Period disciples below.
"In order to be fair, the disciples of Initial Period of Foundation Stage, intermediate stage, and late stage draw lots to decide their opponents. When there are still twenty people left in each stage, they can then jump levels to challenge others. In the end, the disciples who win can draw lots to decide their opponents and choose the last twenty disciples."
The law enforcement clan elder looked at everyone with a strict gaze, "But... I have to state one thing first. During the competition, you are not allowed to use any improper methods, as well as harm the lives of your opponents. Otherwise, you will all be reduced by five years. "
When the crowd heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air. The punishment was severe. Without the assistance of pills, their cultivation speed would be reduced by half. At this moment, the little thoughts that had been on his mind for a while had all been extinguished.
Very quickly, the first round of lots was drawn for each person. The Initial Period of Foundation Stage, mid stage, and late stage disciples were divided into different stages. Gu Qing's opponent was a female cultivator with Foundation Period.
Ten pairs of disciples will compete together. Only in the second round, Gu Qing saw her opponent.
"You are one of the three rogue cultivators who just entered the sect?" The purple-dressed woman had some looks on her face, but her eyes were filled with pride.
Gu Qing understood her opponent's thoughts, because it was a very normal thing for all the sects. All the disciples from the sects held high positions in front of rogue cultivators. Unfortunately, she was relatively lucky enough to enter the Xuanhua Sect, but these people wouldn't treat her in the same place just because she was of the same rank; they would only look down on her as a rogue cultivator from above.
Gu Qing's expression was very cold, as she faintly said "Yes."
"Hmph, you don't have the qualifications to compete for the right to enter the Ancient Ruins with me. If you know what's good for you, admit defeat yourself, so that you won't lose in an ugly way." The female cultivator still had a noble and noble appearance, she did not put Gu Qing in her eyes at all.
Gu Qing laughed coldly, "I advise you not to be too full of yourself, in case it's not good for you to get off the stage later."
"You're courting death!" The female cultivator's eyes flashed with a cold and sharp glint, she directly slashed towards Gu Qing.
Gu Qing could feel a wave of cold air that could freeze one's bones and tendons gushing over. She immediately took a few steps back, and swung out the whip she got from the loose cultivator previously, directly sweeping towards the female cultivator's face.
The female cultivator thought that she was taking out some powerful treasure, and upon seeing that Gu Qing was holding a normal whip shaped treasure, she laughed out loud: "You want to use this to prevent me from stepping down from the stage?"
Gu Qing did not utter a word, she kept on swinging the whip so tightly that the female cultivator was not able to get close to him.
In truth, from their first fight, Gu Qing had already guessed his opponent's strength, at least his opponent's Spiritual Qi was much richer than her own. If she were to use the first move of the Seven Deaths of Soul, she would be able to easily control her opponent.
However, she didn't want to stand out too much, so she used a whip magic tool to circle around him.
Originally, she thought that she could take care of Gu Qing in a short amount of time. She didn't expect him to be as slippery as a loach and only had a whip magic tool, but she couldn't do anything about it!
Gu Qing had been paying attention to the cultivators at the side the entire time, and seeing that more than half of them had already been decided, her gaze turned towards the lady cultivator at the opposite side.
The lady had veins popping out of her forehead as she stared at Gu Qing who was as slippery as a loach, "You forced me to do this!"
Suddenly, a light flashed in front of Gu Qing's eyes, she saw a mirror in the female cultivator's hands, and her heart trembled. She immediately thought of something: I must not let her take out her magical equipment.
She frowned, and immediately executed the first move of the Seven Deaths of Soul!
The spiritual energy in her body immediately started to circulate in a strange way, and the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to freeze in that instant. As for the female cultivator, her expression immediately became blank.
Gu Qing's eyes flashed, her fingers quickly pinched together, and countless wind blades flew out from her hands.
"Oh my god!" Come quickly! " Those who were paying attention to Gu Qing's situation immediately exclaimed.
As a result, even more people looked over.
"This is the first time I've seen someone display so many wind blades!"
Gu Qing had already removed all distracting thoughts from her mind, and was not worried that her own cultivation technique would attract the coveting of others, so several tens of wind blades landed on her opponent's path of retreat.
In the blink of an eye, the female cultivator regained her senses as she felt countless sharp glints rushing towards her. It was already too late for her to dodge.
"Pu, pu, pu …"
The female cultivator's sleeves had been cut open. She didn't even understand what had happened just now when she heard the Elder who presided over the battle announce the outcome of the battle.
"Did he use some trick?" Have you ever seen anyone who can use so many Wind Blade Techniques? " Whispers came from the crowd.
When these words reached the ears of the female cultivator opposite Gu Qing, she immediately opened her eyes wide and pointed at Gu Qing, "She is cheating, how can a normal person release so many Wind Blade Techniques?"
The host elder frowned, he felt that this made some sense, and turned his gaze towards Gu Qing, "Do you have anything to explain?"
Gu Qing appeared to be very calm, because the Wind Blade Technique was only the most basic of techniques. If they did not believe her, she could easily use it again to let them see if she had cheated or not.
"Elder, it's just that my spirit energy is a lot richer than most people and my Meditation Stage is also a bit more stable than most people. If the elders do not believe me, I can display it again for everyone to see."
