Book Two: Loud Competition

CHAPTER 44 THIRTY-THREE Towns

With a flash of light, Su Jianming and Wang Zhong appeared outside the immortal estate. After three years of training, Su Jian Ming, who was already seventeen, had matured a lot. He was handsome and tall, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He could be considered a handsome man. As for Yan Qiu, who was a few months older than Su Jianming, he was even more well-rounded. Three years ago, she might have been a bit immature, but now, she was definitely a devastatingly beautiful woman. The two of them were a perfect match, and when Su Jianming came out, he grabbed Yan Qiu's hand. With a single glance, one could tell that they were indeed a pair.

Hearing that, Su Jianming fiddled with the Spirit Controlling Ring in his hand and said, "Looks like that old fellow is not too bad. Oh right, what's the situation on the continent now?" He was in a hurry to return to the Ming Sword Villa, so he wanted to know the situation first.

"Two words, 'Chaos'!" Ever since you entered, those immortals have been attacking everywhere like crazy. The sects in the central region are basically under their control. "It's a good thing that all the major figures of each sect managed to escape in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Heavencraft Zi said with a sigh.

"It used to be like this, but it hasn't been like this since three years ago. You know what? There were four immortals that first appeared on Forgotten Continent, but now there are only three left. Do you think they can still sit? Over the past three years, they had been slaughtering experts from all over the continent, and many Nascent Soul cultivators had been killed by them. Everyone on the continent is in danger! "

"You still want to go back to the Ming Sword Villa?" Heavencraft Zi cried out in shock, "The entire central region is now under the control of those three immortals, let alone the Ming Sword Villa? "If you go back now, you'll undoubtedly be courting death."

"But …" Su Jian Ming was about to argue, but Tian Ji continued: "You want to go back and see your master and the rest, right? Actually, you don't have to take the risk of returning to the Ming Sword Villa. On the sixteenth of next month, the competition for 100 different sects would be held every 10 years. At that time, all the sects under the heavens would attend the competition. When that time comes, your master and the others will definitely be there. Therefore, if you wish to see your master and the others, you should go to the East Sea rather than return to the Ming Sword Villa! "

"Loud competition?" Su Jianming had heard of this before. This was a competition for the rankings of the continent's rookies. It was mainly to see the strength of the various sects. What Su Jian Ming was curious about was that with the weather on the continent, would they still have the mood to host the Hundred Family Competition?

"That's right, it's the Hundred Family Competition. This time's competition is not only to assess the strength of the various sects, but also to discuss the grand plan to kill the immortals!" Tian Tizi said with an excited expression.

"Immortal Execution?" Hearing this word, Su Jianming was shocked. Could it be that the people on Forgotten Continent also had the strength to kill immortals?

"That's right!" Heavencraft Zi said firmly. After so many years of studying, many people had broken through to new realms. For example, Lady Yan's father, Sect Master Yan, as well as Senior Beast King and the Sect Leader of Mount Yao, Senior Xie, had all broken through the Nascent Soul Stage and entered a brand-new realm. That was the legendary Soul Transformation stage. After entering the Soul Transformation stage, the first thing Sect Head Yan said was, "What immortal? He's only a Soul Transformation cultivator." Presumably, Sect Head Yan meant that those immortals weren't real immortals, but only Soul Transformation cultivators. Right now we have three Soul Transformation cultivators, so the reason why the Hundred Clans are fighting among the various sects is because we are going to discuss how to get rid of the three immortals.

"In that case, shall I not return to the Ming Sword Villa?"

"Let's go straight to the East Sea!" Heavencraft Zi said again.

Seeing that Tian Ji Zi was insistent, Su Jian Ming considered it again and said, "Then let's go. "Oh right, Yan Qiu's identity …"

"You don't have to worry about that!" Heavencraft Zi chuckled. "Lady Yan has been sick since she was young and has rarely traveled the continent. Very few people in the Devil Dao know her, and even more so those on the righteous path don't. "At that time, if anyone asks, just say that he is a disciple of Tian Ji Sect and you don't have to worry about it at all."

"If that's the case, then let's go." With that, Su Jian Ming leaped into the air, he stepped on Ming Jian and with a release of his True Essence, he flew towards the East Sea with his sword!

… ….

The person with the lowest cultivation among the three was Su Jianming, who was about to break through to the later stage of the Aurous Core Stage. After flying at full speed for less than half a month, they had arrived at a small town beside the East Sea. This time around, with Tian Ji being together, it was not wise for Yan Qiu to linger around. Hence, it was not considered slow.

Yao Mountain was hidden within the islands. There were so many stars scattered all over the place that the fog was everywhere. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to find Yao Mountain's sect. Therefore, everyone who wanted to go to Mount Yao had to wait in this small town for Mount Yao to send a boat to receive them.

Normally, Yao Mountain would only send a ship to receive them once a month, but because the 16th of the next month was a day of war, and the number of cultivators preparing to go to Yao Mountain skyrocketed, Yao Mountain also increased its number of escorts, changing it to once every three days. Unfortunately, when Su Jian Ming and the rest arrived, the boat that came to escort them just happened to leave. That meant that they had no choice but to stay in this small town for three days.

This small town was called Three Yuan Town. It was said that it was built by three cultivation families that had the same name, and each of these three families had one Nascent Soul cultivator.

Three Elements Town wasn't a village that a mortal lived in. It was full of people from the cultivation world. Because this was a place where cultivators had to pass by to go to Yao Mountain, many cultivators had set up shops here. On one hand, they wanted to take some spiritual herbs and cores from cultivators, and on the other hand, they could sell some medicinal pills and magic treasures to cultivators who passed by.

This was the first time Su Jianming and Yan Qiu had seen a trade between these cultivators, so they naturally wanted to take a look as well. Moreover, they had over ten thousand Grade 3 to 5 inner cores with them, and they were able to sell some useful things here.

Thus, the three of them made up their minds and left the inn, preparing to go to the various shops.
