Chapter 1387 Competition in the Classical Age
Li Yao was alone, and went deep into the Baibian Mountains, climbed up the steps, and enjoyed hundreds of steep peaks like swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, and a magnificent scenery.
During the Longquan Conference, most of the mountains of Ziji Sword Sect were open to all sects in the world. Sects of different levels carried the latest refined or discovered magical weapons and weapons, demonstrating the powerful power of magical weapons and weapons in "sword test fields" everywhere.
If there are cultivators in other sects who have taken a fancy to these magical weapons, they can further negotiate the purchase business with the Ziji Sword Sect.
Of course, flying swords and magic weapons are deadly things that are at stake. If you are worried about the demonstrations of the Ziji Sword Sect, you can come to the scene in person and verify the sharpness of this flying sword in actual combat.
Above hundreds of mountains, there are everywhere of cultivators of various sects of clothes and angry horses, and the flags are waving. The flying swords turn into rainbows, the battle swords break through waves, and the "ding ding dangdang" sounds of swords and swords fighting each other, like a song of golden swords and iron horses, and a magnificent ancient music.
This year's Longquan Conference is different from the past. To put it bluntly, it is the conference where the new emperor ascended the throne and the arbitrary eunuch Wang Xi fell, the entire political landscape changed drastically, and the great cultivator redistributed all interests in the world.
The amount of interests of each sect must be determined based on the strength displayed at the Longquan Conference.
Therefore, the music of Jin Zhan and Iron Horse is mixed with a bit of fierce and fierce bloody smell.
In the depths of many mountains, after a series of "ding-ding-dang" attacks, heart-wrenching screams often come, and even the screams come to an abrupt end halfway.
It is conceivable that the person who makes a scream is not holding back, but is completely unable to make a sound.
As an ordinary casual cultivator, Li Yao observed several "sword tests" and found that both sides were indeed fighting for life and death in the name of "sword tests and competitions". He tried every sword test, and killed every game, but in three cases, he was either dead or injured, and his injuries were quite serious.
What is more interesting is that in addition to the three sword tests, they were between the members of the Ziji Sword Sect and the monks of other sects, and there were two sword tests, which were actually between two monks of other sects.
Moreover, the ruthless fighting between the two sides is even more serious than the battle between the Ziji Sword Sect and the cultivators of other sects. It is like there is a grudge to kill my father, and I wish I could die with the other party.
In this case, if you were a visitor from another modern cultivation civilization, the monk might be confused. Didn’t you agree that everyone would come together to threaten the Ziji Sword Sect? Why did your own people start to have an internal strife first?
However, it is no wonder for Li Yao, an alien who has Ou Yezi's memory and is equivalent to the "Elder of the Hundred Refining Sect" in the ancient world.
The Bailian Sect mainly focuses on refining weapons, and of course the magic weapons refined must be sold to all sects in the world, and even other great worlds.
Therefore, Bailian Sect also has new product launches and annual sales similar to the "Longquan Conference", which are even several times larger in scale and can attract seven or eight cultivators from all over the world to participate.
At the "Magic Weapon Expo" of Bailian Sect, of course, other cultivators are allowed to try out the magic weapons refined by Bailian Sect and then discuss business after they are satisfied.
However, every "Magic Weapon Expo" of Bailian Sect will evolve into a "stadium competition" where cultivators of major sects fight. In the end, the agreement was made, Bailian Sect simply opened a special ring area to allow everyone to fight freely.
This was also welcomed by the major sects at that time. The scale of the arena competition became larger and larger, and the rules became more and more formal. In the end, it overwhelmed the original intention of the "Magic Weapon Expo".
This is because, in the context of shortage of resources and the number of cultivators, there are more or less sharp contradictions between various sects, and even dozens of lives are mixed in, which can be cut and resolved.
For example, if the small sects Li Yao saw in the Wujiang River Basin had conflicts and grudges, any Mars could ignite their fighting and fire.
However, the scale is so large that it has become a giant that is "too big to fall". Any movement will affect the whole body. Of course, it is impossible to come out like the small sects in the countryside, fight and fight, both sides will suffer, and make others lose money.
Therefore, after reaching a certain scale, there are often certain rules and regulations to resolve conflicts between cultivation sects, that is, they must "draw the way".
But there are two very headaches when you "draw down the road".
First, it is difficult to find legitimate reasons.
Most sects of cultivation always have to talk about their face, be a good person, and establish a archway. They are all pure and have no desires, and are dedicated to cultivating the truth without asking about the secular "immortal masters". They are always hard to go to war for the ownership of a dock and the monopoly power of a certain industry, right? Then, will they become a gangster?
Secondly, even if the two sides agree on the time, place and rules of the battle, it is difficult to ensure that the other party does not use conspiracy, and there is even the possibility of turning against each other afterwards.
Magic weapons exhibitions such as the "Longquan Conference" perfectly resolve these two concerns.
First of all, everyone comes here to purchase magic weapons. Magic weapons are used to save lives. It is normal to try more, right? How to try them out to be the safest, of course, it is to simulate actual combat as much as possible!
If you have no eyes on the sword, you will kill someone by mistake in actual combat. That is why the other party is in such a disaster. No wonder others will be there.
Second, such conferences are often held by the most powerful sects in the local area, and they gather all the strong men from the sects to participate. In front of everyone, the two sects resolve conflicts in the name of "sword test", which is difficult to deal with instructive things in advance, and it is difficult to use conspiracies and tricks in the process. After deciding the outcome, it is also difficult to turn against each other.
This can also be regarded as the "unwritten rule" in the world of cultivation.
Anyone or force who violates the unspoken rules will end up miserably!
Once such a hidden rule is formed, the Longquan Conference is destined to be as simple as a mediocre magic weapon fair. Instead, it will become a conference once every five years, where the entire cultivation world resolves contradictions and re-divides the interest pattern so that it can continue to maintain harmony and stability in the next five years.
Newcomers from all walks of life will take advantage of this great opportunity to jump out to show off their power, attempt to become famous and rise in one battle!
Fame, profit, power, and desire are all intertwined. This is the world of cultivation and this is the world of martial arts!
"Good sword!"
Next to a sword test field in front, hundreds of cultivators were surrounded.
In the center of the sword test field, there is a Lingxiao swordsman from the Ziji Sword Sect. He sat cross-legged with his knees, his five hearts facing the sky, his eyes slightly closed, and his divine thoughts wrapped around a red flying sword, flying rapidly in the air, leaving flame tracks, which did not dissipate for a long time. In the end, the four big words "Ziji Sword Sect" were formed, which immediately attracted a burst of surprise.
"I am Jiang Junai, a disciple of the Wind Blade Alliance, with a mid-level cultivation level in the Foundation Establishment Period!"
A young man wearing light red armor with a tender face and arrogance suddenly jumped up and rushed to the sword test platform. He first glanced around with pride, and then gave a slight salute to the Lingxiao swordsman loosely and said loudly, "The newly refined 'Red Fire Cone Heart Sword' by the school is indeed extraordinary, but I don't know if it is equally sharp in actual combat? Jiang is daring to try this sword!"
"good!"
"It is Jiang Junai, a master who has recently risen in 'Bashanzhou' in recent years!"
"I heard that he has rarely seen his opponents among the younger generation in Bashan Prefecture!"
The monks around were cheering, and the surprised voices of several female cultivators were faintly mixed with. Jiang Junai's face was gloomy and his eyes became more and more radiant.
The swordsman Lingxiao, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the sword test platform, had no expression on his face, just like a piece of rotten wood, but his eyelids were slightly opened, he looked at Jiang Junai up and down, and said coldly: "Fellow Taoist cultivation is pure and his magic power is boundless. If you really want to fight, you will definitely do your best. This sword has been newly refined and has not been retracted yet. As the saying goes, the sword has no eyes. If you make a mistake in a moment and get hurt, the Feng Blade Alliance and your relatives blame us, but our Ziji Sword Sect cannot afford it!"
"It's okay!"
Jiang Junai blushed, took out a jade tablet from her waist and threw it over, "I have the 'life and death order' here, and the spiritual patterns of my master and our leader have been imprinted on it. I will try the sword with my life and kill you without any complaints!"
The Lingxiao Swordsman seized Jiang Junai's life and death order and took out a black iron token from his arms and threw it over. "This is the life and death order of the Ziji Sword Sect, and there is also a spiritual mark of the lower master and the sect leader! If his skills are not as good as others, unfortunately he was killed by a fellow Taoist, he will never be held accountable. Instead, he will give it to him with this "Red Fire Cone Heart Sword". In front of everyone, all fellow Taoists are witnesses!"
"good!"
Jiang Junai seized Ling Xiao’s swordsman’s life and death order, and even kept it in his arms. He laughed, and the long sword behind him faintly roared with a tiger roar, "Since the life and death order has been changed, then come--"
Before the word "bar" was released, the Lingxiao swordsman opposite him, who was like a rotten wood, suddenly turned into a flame storm!
"call out!"
In an instant, it was like a shiny firework, like a volcano erupting, and a red light enveloped the entire sword test field. When many onlookers saw two things made a "hissing" sound and flew into the air.
First, Lingxiao Swordsman's left arm.
Second, Jiang Junai’s head!
"Play!"
The arms and heads fell to the ground one after another.
Ling Xiao's swordsman blew blood on his left shoulder, his face pale and his expressionless face.
There was neither the heart-wrenching pain nor the joy of victory. I just silently picked up my broken arm, and then rushed to the opposite side and danced with my headless body, which was twitching violently, and gave a slight salute:
"Give up!"
Then, he stepped back step by step and returned to his rest area, which allowed the other disciples to step forward to stop the bleeding and heal him, and continued to break his arms.
It was not until this moment that the headless corpse fell to the ground with a "splash". The blood from the cavity left a new mark on the already blood-covered sword test field.
Two middle-aged monks wearing Wind Blade Alliance armor jumped onto the sword test field.
One of them had a pale face and had difficulty breathing. His hair turned gray in an instant. He looked at the Lingxiao swordsman opposite him deeply. His lips trembled for a long time and said hoarsely: "It's true that a good sword! How valuable is this sword? We bought it from the Wind Blade Alliance and paid three times the price to compensate fellow Taoist for the pain of the broken arm!"
