C242 Eight Major Sects

The ten days of competition for the "Rising Dragon Ranking" and one month of "Golden Dragon Secret Realm" finally came to an end.

On this day, tens of thousands of disciples of the "Golden Dragon Sect" gathered in the square outside the mountain gate, Sect Master Zhuge Wei's clear voice announced the results of this experiential learning. When the disciples of the Golden Dragon Sect learned that our sect had added a few new experts at the late Heaven stage as well as a few new experts at the middle stage of the middle stage of the Heaven stage, they were all very excited.

When the "Golden Dragon Sect" was established for thousands of years, it was once ranked first among the "Eight Great Sects". However, in the past thousand years, because of the appearance of the few genius disciples in the clan, their strength was gradually weakening. Not only was the "head of the eight great sects" snatched away by others, but their ranking in the "Eight Great Sects" was also falling.

In the past hundred years, the ranking of the "Golden Dragon Sect" in the "Eight Major Sects" had dropped to the very end, and there was almost the risk of it being pushed out of the "Eight Major Sects". Therefore, when Zhuge Wei announced the results of this experiential learning and learned that many disciples in the sect had advanced in the course of their experiential learning, the other disciples also felt proud and listless, as if they saw the hope of revitalizing the sect.

However, the positions of the "Eight Great Sects" would be changed every five years. Only sects with sufficient overall strength would be able to make it into the top eight, while the current "Golden Dragon Sect" was in a precarious situation, even reaching the eighth place. Behind them, there were numerous sects that were eyeing them with envy, waiting to replace them.

The main reason why the various sects of the Ao Yue Empire wanted to compete for the position of the "Eight Great Sects" was ultimately to obtain a primeval stone mine within the Ao Yue Empire.

It was said that it could produce a large amount of primeval stones every year, and within these primeval stones, there was dense primeval essence. A piece of primeval stone the size of a thumb was equivalent to the value of a high-quality elixir, and could be said to be a huge treasury.

It was said that the elemental ore mine was located in the "Qilin Mountain" in the middle of the Auland Dynasty. In the "Qilin Mountain", there were numerous Spiritual Beasts and they were extremely powerful.

Therefore, thousands of years ago, there was a fierce battle between the various sects in the Eternal Empire. They agreed that the top eight sects would each send a portion of their disciples to work together to fight against the spirit beasts and mine the primeval stone mines. They would split the primeval stones according to the rankings of the eight sects.

In the first thousand years, the "Gold Dragon Sect" remained firmly at the top of the "eight great sects", thus obtaining a large amount of primeval stones resources. However, after that, it fell all the way down, and today, the "Gold Dragon Sect" was at the bottom of the "eight great sects", and it could not even protect the eighth place. As a result, they were ridiculed by the other seven great sects, causing the morale of the sect disciples to become extremely low.

The reason why the Golden Dragon Sect had continuously held the "Rising Dragon Ranking" for the past thousand years, and why it had opened the "Golden Dragon Mystic Realm" to branch disciples of the Immortal Yuan Continent for the past hundred years, was to select talented disciples from all over the place to increase the sect's strength and boost their depressed morale.

Once they were excluded from the "Eight Great Sects", the "Golden Dragon Sect" would completely lose the qualifications to obtain primeval stones. At that time, without the aid of primeval stones, the "Golden Dragon Sect" would undoubtedly become weaker.

Currently, within the "Eight Major Sects" of the Ao Yue Empire, the Burning Moon Clan was ranked first in terms of overall strength, second in the royal family, third in the "Lingxiao Sect", fourth in the "Unparalleled Body", fifth in the "Flying Wolf Island", sixth in the "Dragon King Valley", seventh in the "Cold Moon Palace", and last in the "Golden Dragon Sect".

At the moment, the "Eight Great Sects" were about to reach the top five years in the Martial Competition. Fortunately, a few Late ZhongTian realm warriors had appeared in the "Golden Dragon Sect", which added a few more chips for the Martial Competition.

There was a long agreement between the "eight great sects" that only the disciples of the various sects could participate in the Martial Ranking Tournament, while the sect heads and elders of the various sects were not allowed to participate.

The competition of the "Eight Great Sects" would be held in one month. Zhuge Wei dismissed all the disciples from the other branches, leaving only the brother and sister Zeng Le Gang and Zeng Le Rou.

Among the "Golden Dragon Sect" disciples, the Stone Armour, Feng Xiao Han, and Dong Guo Ye were originally ranked in the top three, while the other seven core disciples were at the bottom. However, after this experiential learning, the top three had a change in rankings.

On the other hand, Zeng Le Gang and Zeng Le Rou had advanced to a small realm, obtained the inheritance of the stone pillar, and had strength that came later, actually defeating the other seven core disciples to become fourth and fifth.

Because of this, the Golden Dragon Sect chose Dongguo Ye, Feng Xiao Han, Shi Bing, Zeng Chenggang and Zeng Cheng Rou as the contestants. Each sect was required to send five disciples to participate in the Martial Competition of the Eight Great Sects.

"It's a pity that Junior Brother Ye is not around. Otherwise, with his strength, if he were to lead us into battle, we might be able to overpower him and take first place again!"

On this day, when Zhuge Wei decided to let the five people of Dongguo Ye's faction represent the Gold Dragon Sect in the competition, Dongguo Ye sighed and said.

"With Brother Ye's strength, he is quite confident!" Feng Xiao Han nodded.

Although the stone armor harbored hatred towards Ye Daoxuan, it had to admit that Ye Daoxuan was powerful. Although several days had passed since the closure of the "Golden Dragon Mystic Realm", the arrow that Ye Daoxuan shot with the "Bloodfire Dragon Roar Bow" that day still left a lingering fear in its heart.

One arrow had severely injured the stone armor, and Ye Daoxuan's strength had truly convinced the other two. Although the stone armor was not very happy with Ye Daoxuan, Dongguo Ye, and even Feng Xiao Han, but when it came to dealing with foreign enemies, he could still put aside his prejudice and wholeheartedly fight them.

However, they still firmly believed that Ye Daoxuan would not fall. Sooner or later, he would be able to break the 'Golden Dragon Secret Realm' seal with a completely new attitude and appear before everyone.

How could a warrior who received an inheritance in front of the inheritance pillar fall so easily?

There was only one month left until the competition between the 'Eight Major Sects'. Everyone in the Gold Dragon Sect paid high attention to this competition, and Zhuge Wei did not hesitate to use all the cultivation resources in the sect to nurture the five people: Dong Guo Ye, Feng Xiao Han, Shi Jia, Zeng Le Gang, and Zeng Le Rou.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed. On this morning, the Sovereign, Zhuge Ye, along with five of the Sect's elders, led Dongguo Ye, Feng Xiao Han, Stone Armour, Zeng Le Gang, and Zeng Le Rou to the "Skeleton Wasteland" in the middle of the Ao Yue Empire to participate in the "Eight Great Sects Competition".

The "Skeleton Wasteland" was located at the southern end of the "Qilin Mountain" with a circumference of eight hundred miles. It was said that it was filled with the bones of martial practitioners and spirit beasts, and it was an ancient battlefield during the Ancient Desolation.

The Martial Competition held by the "Eight Great Sects" every five years was held on the "Skeleton Wasteland". Moreover, it had already been going on for several thousand years.

The Golden Dragon Sect was about 40,000 miles away from the "Skeleton Wasteland". Although the distance was very far, it didn't matter to Zhuge Wei and the others who could control the rainbow to fly. Moreover, they had their own flying spirit beasts to ride.

On the evening of the tenth day, Zhuge Wei and the others rode on flying spirit beasts and arrived above the "Skeleton Wasteland". They descended on a short hill in the higher ground of the "Skeleton Wasteland".

Within a radius of several miles, under the setting sun, there were already hundreds of people standing on the hill. These people were from the other seven sects in the Ao Yue Empire, as well as the sects that had the qualifications to challenge the "Eight Great Sects".

Every five years, during the competition between the "Eight Major Sects", not only would there be a battle between the "Eight Major Sects", but there would also be some people who would challenge the "Eight Major Sects". These people who would challenge the "Eight Major Sects" would be selected by the "Eight Major Sects" in advance, and if they defeated their opponents, they could replace them and become one of the new "Eight Major Sects".

And one of the "eight great sects" that were defeated by Zhou would naturally be eliminated, as they would no longer be able to obtain a share of the primeval stones. They could only wait five years before battling.

After Zhuge Wei's group landed on the hill, a few sects that had good relations with the "Golden Dragon Sect" came over to greet them. The other sects that didn't get along with the "Golden Dragon Sect" looked at each other coldly.

The group of people from the "Burning Moon Church" with their grudges as their sect master stood at the highest point of the hill, coldly looking at the disciples of the "Golden Dragon Sect", and all had a mocking expression. The dark, cold eyes of the "Vengeance", even shined with a strange light, as if he was an experienced hunter, while the disciples of the "Golden Dragon Sect", were all prey.

Zhuge Wei and Chou Hen had been enemies with each other for over a hundred years, so they could be considered old enemies. Their gazes met and sparks suddenly splashed out, and Chou Hen suddenly grinned sinisterly like a wolf that was about to devour a person. Zhuge Wei's heart skipped a beat, he felt that this old enemy's smile was a bit strange.

The stone armor that followed behind Zhuge Wei scanned the crowd in front of him with its gaze. Suddenly, its body trembled and its gaze was fixed on a white clothed girl.

The woman in white was tall and slender, with slender waist and long legs. Her hair was like a waterfall fluttering in the evening wind. She was beautiful enough to topple nations and her temperament was peerless.

If Ye Daoxuan was here, he would immediately recognize that the woman in white was none other than the Palace Master of "Cold Moon Palace", Wenren Wu-shuang, who had just entered the early Greater celestial stage.

Five years ago, during the competition, when he saw Wenren Wu-Shuang's face, he was so shocked that he almost fell in love with her. However, he also knew that regardless of status or strength, the gap between the two sides was too big, so he could only keep this thought hidden in the depths of his heart.

"Cough!"

Seeing how the armor was blankly staring at Wenren Wu-Shuang, Zhuge Wei thought to himself that no matter what, the other party was still the head of the palace, and if he made her unhappy, the consequences would be unpredictable. He couldn't help but furrow his brows and cough loudly.

The stone armor was surprised. Its face turned red as it bowed its head.
