259: Chapter 139: A Spear Stirs the Wind and Clouds, A Knife Slices the Ends of the Earth_4 259: Chapter 139: A Spear Stirs the Wind and Clouds, A Knife Slices the Ends of the Earth_4 After some research, I discovered that it was a Divine Skill for healing injuries, so I didn’t cultivate it.
At that time, I even wondered why I would receive such a Divine Skill, but as it turns out, it was all predetermined.
“Junior Brother, you found it for me, and I have cultivated that Divine Skill.
I don’t even need to wait until the end of the Hundred Peaks competition, I’ll be able to recover.”
“What do you mean ‘found it’?
You just need to focus on your recovery, Little Beiyan.
Hand over that secret manual to me, I’m confiscating it.”
Cao Zhen was utterly helpless, was his disciple really so brainless?
Normally, when he wasn’t injured, he’d recklessly cultivate Divine Skills, and now, even in his current state, he still wanted to do the same.
Did he truly wish to ruin himself through cultivation?
Soon, Cao Zhen, holding the coverless secret manual that was missing who knows how many pages, left with several disciples.
Xiang Ziyu watched the closed door and muttered to himself, “Without the secret manual, I can’t cultivate anymore?
Who am I?
I am the protagonist!
“I’ve flipped through that manual before and still have an impression of it…”
On the third day of the magical combat competition, Cao Zhen only brought Yan Yourong and Ling Xi to the Gathering Immortals Platform.
Little Beiyan’s injuries, although not as serious as his junior sister and senior brother’s, were still significant, so he also left Little Beiyan at Four Treasures Peak.
Two days had passed since the start of the magical combat competition, and today, the number of disciples participating had noticeably decreased compared to the first two days.
It was only ten in the morning when it was Yan Yourong’s turn to challenge.
Given the performance of the disciples from Four Treasures Peak in the previous two days, Yan Yourong’s move immediately caught the attention of many.
In the direction of Little Zen Peak, Yuan Ci looked over with a vicious glare, and there was even a hint of panic on his face.
Were the disciples from Four Treasures Peak up for a challenge again?
They surely wouldn’t challenge his Little Zen Peak, would they?
Currently among the defending disciples of Little Zen Peak, the two stronger than Wu Ming were both at the Golden Core Stage; anyone from Four Treasures Peak with a working brain wouldn’t challenge them.
And yet, what if they were actually aiming at the weaker ranked disciples from his Little Zen Peak?
With the demonstrated strength of Bei Yan and Xiang Ziyu, except for Wu Xiang and Wu Que, there was definitely no disciple from Little Zen Peak who could stop the remaining two from Four Treasures Peak.
Under his gaze filled with both hatred and worry, as one side of the platform remained empty, the judge’s voice rang out.
“Yan Yourong from Four Treasures Peak challenges the one ranked four hundred and thirty-six, Zi Qianyu from Purple Feather Peak, who has achieved Inner Dan Complete.”
“Not someone from Little Zen Peak?”
The crowd was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized.
“It couldn’t possibly be someone from Little Zen Peak now.
Aside from Wu Wei, Wu Fa, and Wu Ming, who cannot challenge due to injuries, there are only five remaining defenders.
Among them, Wu Xiang and Wu Que are at the Golden Core Stage and naturally cannot be challenged.
The highest-ranked among the remaining three is only at a thousandth place.
The remaining two disciples of Little Zen Peak are the first and second senior sisters, reportedly stronger, and they would not challenge the lesser-ranked disciples of their own peak in order to secure more Peak Bamboo.”
“Now, the ones with a headache are not from Little Zen Peak, but from Purple Feather Peak.”
“Although all three disciples from Four Treasures Peak have failed in their challenges, none of their opponents was in a good condition afterward.
After yesterday’s battle, there was even a saying going around: ‘Better to face Flying Immortal than encounter Four Treasures.’ People would rather face Flying Immortal Peak, at most being defeated, but those from Four Treasures Peak are all like madmen.
Even in defeat, they’d land a vicious bite that you just can’t withstand.”
In the direction of Little Zen Peak, Yuan Ci’s worried expression had completely disappeared.
Thankfully, since those from Four Treasures Peak hadn’t secured any Peak Bamboo in the previous days, they seemed focused on getting Bamboo now and weren’t occupied with contending against his Little Zen Peak anymore.
Instead, it was Purple Feather Peak’s unlucky turn.
In the direction of Purple Feather Peak, the solemn-faced Purple Feather Peak Master called Zi Qianyu to his side, advising, “Do not take your opponent lightly just because she only has one inner core.
You’ve seen the battles fought by disciples from Four Treasures Peak these past days; you must not simply judge based on the Cultivation Realm.
We don’t want you to end up like those from Little Zen Peak, forced to unleash your strongest Divine Skills in the end.
Once the fight begins, don’t worry about anything else, and don’t hold back any trump cards.
Use your strongest Divine Skills straight away, the quicker you deal with your opponent the better.”
“Yes, Disciple understands.” Zi Qianyu nodded emphatically before flying down to the platform.
Above the platform, Yan Yourong had already released her ten Dao Platforms of extraordinary illusions, the Immortal Bridges of illusions, as well as an inner core of illusions.
Although Zi Qianyu was a female disciple, she was as cold and fierce as Yan Yourong.
After landing on the platform, she said nothing, and behind her, ten Dao Platforms, ten Immortal Bridges, and ten inner cores all appeared.
She, like Wu Ming, had ten of each—Dao Platforms, Immortal Bridges, and inner cores.
What’s more, her illusions were even more numerous than Wu Ming’s, with nine illusionary Dao Platforms, just one short of having illusions on all.
Her Immortal Bridges had eight with illusions, and her inner cores had five with illusions.
Feathers!
All her illusions were feathers.
Moreover, they were feathers of various colors, making it seem as if countless mythical and legendary Immortal Birds, now extinct, had perched on her Dao Platforms, Immortal Bridges, and inner cores.
