272: Chapter 141 Discussing the Oncoming Path_5 272: Chapter 141 Discussing the Oncoming Path_5 Li Ke had cultivated the Gold Light Spell to level thirty, which meant my own Gold Light Spell had also reached level thirty.
Add to that my Dragon and Tiger Golden Body and the Record of Deities and Demons cultivated by Xiang Ziyu, my defensive power was unbeatable!
By the side, Deng Qixing looked at Cao Zhen, who had a smile on his face, and congratulated, “Congratulations to Peak Master Cao, Li Ke has won first place!”
Li Ke was Cao Zhen’s Taoist companion; naturally, Peak Master Cao would smile with her victory—nothing strange about it.
He was now more convinced than ever that his decision to have Chao Zi Zai form a sworn brotherhood with Cao Zhen was incredibly correct.
When the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth would arrive, and everyone else fell into slumber, Li Ke would become the strongest combatant, and her Taoist companion was the sworn brother of his own disciple!
From afar, at the locale of the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks, Beichen Ying slightly nodded his head; Little Sixth Son’s Four Treasures Peak had already secured the hundredth spot in advance, and they all were set to make a fortune, especially since Little Sixth Son’s Taoist companion had also secured first place—nothing could be better than this outcome.
Speaking of which, Little Sixth Son treated his Taoist companion quite well; he had seen Little Sixth Son use that golden light before.
It seemed Little Sixth Son had sneakily passed that divine skill to Li Ke, which led to her victory.
With his cultivation base, he could clearly judge that if not for that final golden light divine skill, the victor wouldn’t have been Li Ke.
In the direction of Vermilion Bird Peak, Tu Zhuque’s chest swelled with boundless pride, wanting to roar with joy; her disciple had obtained first place!
Within the past thousand years, Flying Immortal Peak had consistently occupied the first place in the Hundred Peaks Sect’s grand competition, both in the magic combat contests and the individual rankings!
Now, that record was finally broken, and by no other than her own disciple!
Vermilion Bird Peak would shine even brighter in her hands!
At that moment, she even forgot to gloat to Chen Qingluan next to her.
The first place in the individual magic combat contest had been decided, but the competition was not over yet.
In the following days, the magic combat contest continued, with the last two days being especially fierce.
Finally, after seven days, the grand competition of Hundred Peaks concluded.
With it, the rankings of Hundred Peaks were adjusted.
The first spot was still held by Flying Immortal Peak.
Although Nie Jie lost to Li Ke, once he had recovered from his injuries, he first challenged a disciple from Five Elements Peak, who was ranked second, and then challenged again immediately after and failed.
Still, he managed to retain the second spot.
The other disciples of Flying Immortal Peak were strong enough; the first place remained theirs.
Ranked second was Five Elements Peak.
In the magic combat contest, they had earned only slightly fewer Peak Bamboos than Flying Immortal Peak, and in the Six Arts contest, they even obtained more than Flying Immortal Peak.
Their second-place standing was unshakeable.
Even compared to the previous grand competition of Hundred Peaks, the gap between them and Flying Immortal Peak had narrowed.
Vermilion Bird Peak was placed fifth.
Even though Li Ke was strong, a single Li Ke could not propel Vermilion Bird Peak into the top three.
However, fifth place was the highest ranking for Vermilion Bird Peak in the last five hundred years.
Azure Pheasant Peak came in seventh!
In every grand competition of Hundred Peaks, either Vermilion Bird Peak or Azure Pheasant Peak would rank higher; their rankings and the number of Peak Bamboos earned were always close.
This time, however, Vermilion Bird Peak had widened the gap, with an additional rank separating them.
Seven Star Peak no longer was ninety-ninth, astonishingly leaping to the ninety-first place.
While still in the bottom ten, Deng Qixing was so joyful he couldn’t stop smiling.
Yuan Ci’s face, however, was black as the bottom of a pot, glaring fiercely at Cao Zhen.
Before, they exchanged a Spirit Field for the Four Agama Sutras from Cao Zhen, thinking that Little Zen Peak would be able to make a grand appearance.
But damned Four Treasures Peak kept challenging Little Zen Peak.
Even though Little Zen Peak’s disciples eventually won, they were injured, and one by one, they were knocked down.
Even Wu Que was affected due to the battle with Ling Xi.
In the end, rather than advancing, Little Zen Peak’s ranking dropped three spots to twenty-fifth place!
Damned Four Treasures Peak, damned Cao Zhen!
“Damned Four Treasures Peak!”
“Cao Zhen, that bastard!”
As the grand competition of Hundred Peaks concluded, on Immortal Gathering Peak, one could hear curses against Cao Zhen everywhere.
At the start of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s grand competition, the Peak Masters gathered with their disciples, but at the end, the Peak Masters of Hundred Peaks would assemble according to their rankings.
This way, the rankings of each peak became crystal clear, also acting as a motivational tactic for those peaks ranked at the bottom to advance.
Cao Zhen stood at the very end among the assembled Peak Masters and could hear the curse words of the Hundred Peaks disciples below him.
Curse all you want; it’s not like I’ll lose a Spirit Stone over it.
I bought three million two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and with a fifty-fold return, minus the gambling house’s cut, I still have over a hundred million Spirit Stones.
With these Spirit Stones, it’s time to prioritize pills.
Cao Zhen looked squarely at Bai Fengzi, just waiting for him to announce the end of the Hundred Peaks grand competition and hurry up to collect his money.
Bai Fengzi glanced down, just as he was about to declare the end of the grand competition, a figure suddenly flew down from the mountain.
“Elder Bai Xiaosi.”
Many recognized the visitor at a glance, an Elder of the Hundred Peaks Sect responsible for all intelligence—Bai Xiaosi.
Nearly everyone from the Hundred Peaks Sect participated in the competition this time, but Bai Xiaosi had not been seen until now.
