On this day, when Luo Xiu was cultivating in his cave, he received a message from the Sect Leader, asking him to go to the Ancestral Master's Hall to discuss something. Luo Xiu tidied up his appearance and quickly flew to the Ancestral Master's Hall.
But as soon as he flew into the air, he realized that something was wrong.
He saw cultivators flying out of the cave residences of the inner sect disciples.
Looking down, many outer sect disciples stuck their heads out and looked at the top of the main peak. They saw several sword lights rushing out of the mountain range and rushing towards the Ancestral Master's Hall.
"Senior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Brother Liao Jiali!
May I ask what is the matter? Why did the sect summon us in such a hurry? Could it be that the incident caused by Deputy Sect Leader Guan's death hasn't been settled yet? "
While Luo Xiu was in a daze, a figure appeared beside him. It was a young man about his age. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"I don't think so. Hasn't that matter been settled? Now that Ancestral Master Guo Yangming hasn't returned to the sect, why is everyone rushing to the Ancestral Master's Hall?"
Luo Xiu looked at the young man beside him. Seeing that he didn't know him, he pondered for a while and said, "Even if it's about Deputy Sect Leader Guan, it's not something that we Golden Core disciples can interfere with. Why did the sect summon us?"
"Senior Martial Brother, could it be that the Inner Sect Competition has been brought forward?
Or could it be that the sect has discovered some secret small world and wants us to explore it? "The young man, Liao Jiali, said with a smile. There was a hint of expectation in his voice.
"No, the time of the Inner Sect Competition has always been fixed.
As for the discovery of some secret small world, Junior Martial Brother, you're thinking too much. "Luo Xiu looked at the young man beside him as if he was an idiot.
"Forget it. Let's go to the Ancestral Master's Hall and see what's going on. It seems that all the inner sect disciples except for those who are still training outside are here."
Another young disciple joined in. Looking at his expression, it was clear that he had just entered the inner sect not long ago. Because this person's Golden Core aura leaked out, he couldn't perfectly control his own cultivation. In addition, Luo Xiu's current Golden Core Realm cultivation was at the peak stage, so he could see his cultivation clearly.
Somewhere on the peak of Heaven Mountain, in a small house.
After a period of recuperation, the young girl, the girl was no longer sad. Her exposed skin had a pearl luster, and she was wearing a bright yellow dress, which made her look even more graceful..
She looked at the communication jade slip in her hand, and her brows furrowed as she walked out of the room.
She casually stopped a servant disciple who was busy tidying up the stone houses and asked, "Did something happen in the sect? Why are so many inner disciples gathered?"
Guan Kexin had been in seclusion in the house because of her father's death. If she didn't receive the summoning talisman, she wouldn't have come out so quickly. After all, Luo Xiu's persuasion for so many days didn't make her come out of the grief of losing her father.
The servant disciple who was stopped by her looked embarrassed and couldn't speak.
The girl in front of him looked cold, but he didn't dare to offend her. After all, he was a servant disciple. For everyone living on this peak, his status was too humble.
Because in the days when Deputy Lord Guan died, the disciple who served her here had been scolded by her many times.
It was not Guan Kexin's fault. That day, Luo Xiu sent her up the mountain, and he personally came to comfort the girl who lost her father.
Although the grieving and indignant young girl had a weak complexion, her words were very sharp. After a few arguments, Luo Xiu immediately flew into a rage, and he could only avoid her after laughing dryly a few times.
The servant disciple was also to blame for seeing Luo Xiu's tribulation a few years ago. He saw Luo Xiu carefully standing in front of the girl. Because of his low cultivation, he didn't dare to speak carelessly and could only lower his head.
Guan Kexin saw the sweat on the servant disciple's nose and looked impatient. She waved her hand and said, "Go!" Then she flew toward the Ancestral Hall.
The girl who hadn't left her house for several days was in a good mood. She couldn't help but raise her head, close her eyes, and take a deep breath of the mountain wind.
.....
When Luo Xiu entered the Ancestral Hall, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Inside the Ancestral Hall, the main seat was empty. The Mi brothers had already sat in the area where the Taishang Elders were.
Among them, there were countless familiar faces. There was the cold-looking Xiao Qingyun and the white-haired Nine-fingered Old Mother. Beside her sat the grim-faced Qing Xuan. Behind them stood a middle-aged man with a sage-like demeanor. She was the last Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Qian Palace whom he had not seen before. She was Guan Kexin's mother, Qin Xuemei.
"Cough, cough."
Guo Xiaotian, who was already sitting on the Sect Lord's seat, looked at everyone present with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
He looked around at everyone, and his eyes fell on Luo Xiu's position. He immediately said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Luo Xiu, so many days have passed. Have you found out the whereabouts of your Master?"
Luo Xiu was stunned. After thinking for a while, he replied with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Senior Apprentice Brother. Because I can't sense the aura of my Master's soul, I can't find my Master's whereabouts for the time being. But I can be sure that my Master is still alive."
Although Luo Xiu said that, he was cursing in his heart. Of course he was still alive. He was in the Sect. But because of his Master's orders, Luo Xiu had to lie.
When Guo Xiaotian heard Luo Xiu's answer, he didn't say anything more. He just looked at the other Sect Elders.
Guo Xiaotian glanced at the Inner Sect Disciples below, sighed slightly, and said, "You are all the Inner Sect Elites of the Qiantian Temple. You are also the future hope of the Qiantian Temple. Some time ago, something big happened in the Sect. Patriarch Guo Yangming was killed when he went out. Deputy Sect Leader Guan and the others were also killed. The Sect has been investigating this matter, which delayed the Inner Sect Disciple Competition. In a month, the Sect will hold the Inner Sect Disciple Competition. At that time, I hope everyone will take it seriously. There will be a great prize waiting for you."
The Inner Sect Disciples in the Patriarch's Hall were all angry at first. But after hearing about the Inner Sect Disciple Competition, they looked at each other. They were also at a loss because of the Sect Leader's words. In their minds, since such a big thing had happened in the Sect, the most important thing now was to find Patriarch Guo Yangming. Everything else could be delayed.
Guo Xiaotian didn't wait for the disciples below to react. He continued, "The reward for the top ten in the Inner Sect Disciple Competition is a Nascent Spirit Pill, a top-grade Spiritual Weapon, magic weapon materials, and the top three can cultivate in the Enlightenment Pavilion for half a year."
"Enlightenment Pavilion?!"
Many disciples were excited because the Qiantian Temple's Enlightenment Pavilion was a good place to improve a cultivator's state of mind. It had to be known that the accumulation of cultivation alone was not enough to advance from the Gold Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. Cultivation experience was also a big obstacle. If a cultivator at the peak of the Gold Core stage could have a trace of enlightenment in the Enlightenment Pavilion, it would be greatly beneficial for him to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. It could be seen that the Sect had put in a lot of effort this time.
"System, do you have an introduction to the Enlightenment Pavilion? Is it really as magical as they say? Can it really let people advance to the Nascent Soul stage so easily?"
Luo Xiu couldn't help but ask the System when he heard the discussions around him and saw how excited they were.
"Hehe, the System doesn't know if the Enlightenment Pavilion of your Sect is very helpful to the Host.
Host, you have to work hard this time. This System does not have much information about that place, and is unable to understand what a state of mind is. Only after Host enters the Dao Comprehending Pavilion will this System be able to confirm whether the Dao Comprehending Pavilion is as miraculous as recorded. "
The System's answer also made Luo Xiu's heart somewhat excited. It had to be known that his cultivation had only reached the peak of the Gold Core stage with the help of the System. According to the System, it was almost impossible for him to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in a short time, unless Luo Xiu absorbed the Primordial Spirit of the White Bone Cultivator. However, the Primordial Spirit of a high-level cultivator was not so easy to obtain.
Looking at the numerous disciples below, Guo Xiaotian and the various Grand Elders sitting beside him were expressionless. Only Guan Kexin's mother, Qin Xuemei, kept staring at Luo Xiu. Her eyes carried a look of scrutiny as she sized him up.
