Xu Xiaochen and other sword immortals spent some immortal stones, took the teleportation immortal formation, and soon returned to the Baiyun Sword Sect. Only then did they know that there were only a dozen Taoist disciples who participated in the battle to protect the country, and the first-level true immortal who participated in the battle to protect the country The Supreme Elder also died on the battlefield eight years ago.
The Baiyun Sword Sect suffered such huge losses and only received a small amount of symbolic compensation.
"Okay, you boy is indeed our hope for the resurgence of the Baiyun Sword Sect."
Bai Yunzi led a group of elders and disciples to personally welcome the returning Sword Immortals, or in other words, personally welcomed Xu Xiaochen. They already knew about Xu Xiaochen's achievements. Seeing that Xu Xiaochen was still intact and had made great progress in cultivation, many Sword Immortals, They were still overjoyed, even in disbelief
But there is still a look of sadness on everyone¡¯s brows. After all, the competition for the city territory is about to begin in three months.
"Don't worry, Headmaster, within three months, the disciple will definitely be able to break through to the realm of true immortals. It's possible for Junior Brother to have extremely high qualifications." Senior Sister Qiong saw the worries of Bai Yunzi and others and said with a smile.
"Even if you break through to the realm of true immortals, you are only at the early stage of the first level and cannot be of much help. That's good. I have decided to participate in the fiefdom competition." Bai Yunzi pondered for a moment.
"No, Headmaster, you can't go. If something happens to you, what will our Baiyun Sword Sect do?" The elders' expressions changed greatly when they heard this.
"I will be fine. The fiefdom competition is not a life and death fight. Even if it is a life and death fight, I still have a clone. What's more, I have been the head teacher for many years, and it is time to abdicate and make way for others. Both of them are already Ninth Level Void Immortals are all good in character and can become the next headmaster. I have made up my mind, you don¡¯t need to persuade me any more," Bai Yunzi said with a slight smile, leaving no room for doubt.
"Okay. But one of them has unlimited potential and the other has deep qualifications. Who should I choose?" The elders nodded helplessly but then became embarrassed.
Logically speaking, Senior Sister Qiong is the best choice, but the sudden rise of Xu Xiaochen and the god of progress in cultivation are a great hope for the revival of Baiyun Sword Sect, and obviously cannot be ignored.
"That's good, whoever breaks through to the true immortal realm first can become the next headmaster," said a female elder.
"No, that's not fair," Su Ren shook his head.
As Xu Xiaochen¡¯s master, Su Ren naturally hopes that Xu Xiaochen will become the next head coach. As Su Ren spoke, he also communicated with Xu Xiaochen, hoping that Xu Xiaochen would speak up and support him.
"It should be fair. I have no objection. I don't know what Senior Sister Qiong thinks." Xu Xiaochen said with a smile as if he hadn't heard.
¡°I don¡¯t have any objection, everything depends on the master¡¯s arrangement,¡± Senior Sister Qiong nodded.
Although the Baiyun Sword Sect is a small sect with only two or three cities, it actually occupies a huge area, which is as vast as many star fields in the lower world. Senior Sister Qiong is naturally the leader of the position.
As for Xu Xiaochen, in order to improve himself quickly, he also determined to get the position of head teacher. However, he doesn't plan to do it for a long time, and becoming the head coach is just his temporary plan.
"Okay, it's up to you." The headmaster nodded slightly.
"Without further ado, this disciple is going to go into seclusion to practice. I'll say goodbye."
Xu Xiaochen gave a slight salute, and with a movement of his body, he turned into a sword light, disappeared in an instant, and appeared in the cave in the next moment.
"The disciples have also gone to practice."
Senior sister Qiong said goodbye and left immediately, not wanting to be left behind. Senior Sister Qiong was very confident that she would be able to break through within three months. She was very confident that she would be able to defeat Xu Xiaochen and get the position of head teacher. However, thinking about Xu Xiaochen's training speed and his previous confidence, she couldn't help but feel a little oppressive.
"Hey, we actually broke through, so fast"
Who knows, the sword immortals have not dispersed yet, and Senior Sister Qiong has just arrived outside her cave, and she finds that the entire Baiyun Sword Sect is suddenly covered by the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, and the immortal energy between heaven and earth is directed towards Xu Xiaochen's cave. In that direction, the Yangtze River rushed past violently.
The immortals were surprised and happy, and they all flew over, and found that it was indeed Xu Xiaochen who had broken through. Senior Sister Qiong also sighed quietly, knowing that the position of head teacher had nothing to do with her.
It turned out that after Xu Xiaochen entered his cave, he immediately took out all the vitality of the Void Immortal, swallowed it in one gulp, and used all his strength to run the Heavenly Flying Immortal Sword Art and the Sword God Art, refining the energy in the blink of an eye, and his cultivation was also a matter of course. The power of blowing dust went a step further and broke through to the first level of true immortal.
In an instant, a large amount of immortal energy and laws of heaven and earth appeared, shrouding Xu Xiaochen. Xu Xiaochen's sword essence, body, divine soul, life span, etc. all experienced a fundamental leap.
"Compared with the realm of Xuxian, there is really a huge difference, just a thin line of difference"??One in the sky and one on the earth
It was not until dusk that Xu Xiaochen opened his eyes and ended his practice. As the vision of heaven and earth faded, Xu Xiaochen walked out of the cave with a smile on his face.
Looking around, the whole world becomes clearer. It seems the same as before, but it is very different.
"Okay, I announce that you are now the new headmaster. Now that the headmaster's immortal seal has been collected, I can finally participate in the fiefdom competition with confidence."
Bai Yunzi was overjoyed, took out a golden jade seal, and solemnly handed it to Xu Xiaochen. Then a series of succession matters were held, and Xu Xiaochen became the new headmaster of Baiyun Sword Sect. Bai Yunzi became the Supreme Elder of Baiyun Sword Sect, and Xu Xiaochen also had a new title, which is: Bai Yunzi
"Meet the headmaster and join the Supreme Elder"
Tens of thousands of disciples and elders from Baiyun Sword Sect paid their respects in unison.
"Well, everyone, please get up. I am the new head coach. Everything will remain as usual. If nothing happens, everyone can leave." Xu Xiaochen nodded slightly.
Although the scene was huge, it was not worth mentioning to Xu Xiaochen. As the leader of the monastic alliance in the lower realm, how big of a scene had he not seen?
The three Supreme Elders, including the predecessor Bai Yunzi, and many elders were slightly surprised when they saw Xu Xiaochen being calm and graceful, and he was doing everything with ease, but they all breathed a sigh of relief and were quite satisfied.
Xu Xiaochen no longer lives in the original cave, but moved to the cave dedicated to the headmaster. This cave has more immortal energy. It was actually the residence of Baiyun Sword Immortal in the past, which is enough for the cultivation of Golden Immortal, and even the legendary Xuan Xuan. Immortals can barely practice here.
For ordinary true immortals, practicing in this top-notch cave must be done step by step, otherwise they are likely to go crazy, but for Xu Xiaochen, there are no taboos.
"I didn't expect that the sect would really let me be the headmaster. It seems that they trust me in what I want to be. Although I am an ascended person, I can't let down the sect's trust." Xu Xiaochen thought.
At this time, Xu Xiaochen was carefully inspecting the Immortal Seal of the Master. He discovered that the Immortal Seal of the Master was actually an extremely rare and top-grade immortal weapon that could only be refined by masters of the Xuanxian level.
This Immortal Seal is not only associated with the Baiyun Sword Sect¡¯s Mountain Protection Formation, Baiyun Hall, Sword Tomb, etc., it also has the effect of killing enemies and helping cultivation.
"It turns out that the Sword Tomb is in the Immortal Seal." Xu Xiaochen suddenly realized. He was about to enter the Sword Tomb in the Immortal Seal to practice, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he became slightly excited.
It turns out that Xu Xiaochen, who is in the realm of true immortals, finally felt the lower world and felt the power of countless beliefs in the lower world.
"Okay, with the power of faith, Chi Lian can wake up. Now that I can feel the lower world, I can also send a message to the lower world and tell them about my situation." Xu Xiaochen was overjoyed.
It turns out that only when you reach the realm of true immortals can you feel the lower world. And countless monks in the lower world have been worshiping Xu Xiaochen. The power of faith has been gathered for many years, and it is naturally endless.
Under Xu Xiaochen¡¯s guidance, the power of faith poured into the fairy clothes. Moistened by the power of faith, the fairy clothes quickly recovered.
"This dragon finally woke up, haha"
Finally, Chi Lian's loud laughter came, and he woke up from his deep sleep.
At the same time, Xiaoqing, a colorful spirit dragon who has a master-servant relationship with Xu Xiaochen in the monastic world, also got in touch with Xu Xiaochen, and was extremely surprised and cheered.
Xu Xiaochen communicated with Xiaoqing and learned that the lower realm had not changed much and nothing major had happened. He also talked about the situation in the upper realm, gave Xiaoqing a few words, and then had no choice but to cut off contact.
"Communicating with the lower world is so demanding and consumes so much energy. No wonder it is difficult for monks in the lower world to know the situation in the upper world." Xu Xiaochen suddenly thought while having a splitting headache and being exhausted.
"Master, what state are you in now? Are we in the fairyland now?"
When Chi Lian saw Xu Xiaochen, he was overjoyed and excited. He turned into a dragon body and flew around Xu Xiaochen. At the same time, he couldn't wait to ask a series of questions.
¡¡¡¡
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. That morning, the fiefdom competition finally began. As expected, the one challenging the Baiyun Sword Sect was the nearby Qingniu Sect.
As the leader of the Baiyun Sword Sect, Xu Xiaochen has also become the person in charge of major events in the Baiyun Sword Sect.
At this time, in the main hall of Baiyun Sword Sect, Xu Xiaochen was sitting high up, with three supreme elders on his left and right, and several elders below him. In addition, Fan Qiong, who had successfully broken through to the first level of the True Immortal a few days ago, was also in the main hall.
Except for Xu Xiaochen, everyone¡¯s brows were filled with sadness, as if something bad had happened during the three months Xu Xiaochen had been practicing in seclusion.
"What happened?"?Senior sister, she has made a breakthrough, which should be something to be happy about. "Xu Xiaochen was a little confused, but still said calmly.
"Let me tell you, Headmaster, this is the case. The three of us were seriously injured by a mysterious master three days ago. The Qing Niu Sect originally only had five true immortals, but now, for some unknown reason, it suddenly turned into eight. names, and the extra ones are indeed from the Green Bull Sect. I¡¯m afraid we have no hope at all in this fiefdom competition,¡± said a Supreme Elder.
"The Qingniu Sect has always been eyeing our Baiyun Sword Sect. The challenge this time is the three cities of our Baiyun Sword Sect. If we lose, we won't even be able to protect the mountain gate. After all, although the mountain gate is not a city, it is also a fiefdom. "Su Ren sighed slightly.
"It turns out that the three of you were seriously injured. No wonder your auras are a little weak. The mysterious master who can seriously injure you three must be of high level. The Qing Niu Sect challenged our Baiyun Sword Sect, but you were seriously injured before the fiefdom competition and came to sneak attack. This mysterious master must be related to the Qingniu Sect, and he is most likely a member of the Qingniu Sect. Who among you knows what kind of cultivation the eight Void Immortal masters of the Qingniu Sect have?" Xu Xiaochen was slightly startled, and instantly He calmed down again and said.
The youngest of the three Supreme Elders of Baiyun Sword Sect is the former headmaster and is a first-level true immortal. The other two are both second-level true immortals. Moreover, all three of them have mid-grade immortal swords and are sword immortals. Their strength cannot be underestimated. There is actually someone Being able to seriously injure all three of them showed that that person must be extremely powerful.
Seeing that Xu Xiaochen, the new headmaster, was so calm and composed, the Sword Immortals felt much calmer for a while, and began to explore in detail with Xu Xiaochen.
"Basically, I estimate that the mysterious man is at least a mid-stage True Immortal. He wounded us effortlessly, and even killing us would not be difficult. However, he did not kill us, but only seriously injured us. It is really a bit strange. Weird." The former head coach Wei Yi said thoughtfully.
"I think that person didn't intend to hold back, but was worried about being discovered by our master and leading the mountain-protecting formation. Even if he is a ninth-level true immortal, he will not be able to escape death. After all, our sect's mountain-protecting formation is the first generation. The ancestor, Baiyun Sword Immortal, left it behind. It is extremely powerful," another Supreme Elder said.
"That makes sense. No matter what, the assassin was trying to help the Green Niu Sect. But he shouldn't be from the Green Niu Sect. The eight masters of the Green Niu Sect are, at most, three-level true immortals." The last Grand Supreme The elder said.
"Who will help the Qingniu Sect? Our enemy, or the Qingniu Sect's backer?" Xu Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the mysterious master is not from the Qingniu sect, otherwise the Baiyun Sword Sect will really have no hope at all.
"Our Baiyun Sword Sect doesn't have any enemies, and the Green Niu Sect can barely count as one. However, there are many sects and families who are jealous of our Baiyun Sword Sect's residence, and they may all be the forces that help the Green Niu Sect. As for the backers of the Green Niu Sect , we have never heard of it." said the elder of the execution hall.
"In this way, there are only two possibilities for the mysterious master. The first is a high-level casual cultivator invited by the Qingniu Sect. Because the casual cultivators themselves have no sect and cannot participate in the competition, everyone will choose to help the Qingniu Sect, and then Get benefits. Secondly, the mysterious master comes from a certain big sect family. Maybe that big sect family is jealous of our Baiyun Sword Sect's fiefdom, but feels that it has a stake in taking action directly, so it will use the Qingniu Sect." Xu Xiaochen said slightly. He groaned.
"Why can't it be a sect or aristocratic family similar to our Baiyun Sword Sect that is secretly taking action?" Senior Sister Qiong said.
"Because, if there is a sect similar to our Baiyun Sword Sect, if there are masters like this, they will definitely challenge directly instead of secretly attacking." Xu Xiaochen said with a slight smile.
"The leader is wise. But who is behind the Green Bull Sect? We are bound to lose in this fiefdom competition. The three of us are extremely seriously injured, and our vitality has been damaged. We will not be able to recover in the short term." The previous headmaster taught Tao.
"It's okay, leave this matter to me and Senior Sister Qiong. Both of us can be injured, and we are also true immortals. We should be able to handle three competitions." Xu Xiaochen said with a confident smile.
"No, how can you take action personally, Headmaster? I will pass on the position of Headmaster to you in order to participate in the fiefdom competition. You have a bright future. If you go to participate in the competition, the Green Bull Sect will definitely kill you at all costs. You, then our Baiyun Sword Sect will be completely doomed." The former headmaster's face changed drastically.
"Yes, you are the future and the hope of our Baiyun Sword Sect. Nothing will happen. Besides, the two of you are not enough for three competitions, unless one of you competes twice in a row. According to the fiefdom competition According to the rules, a person competes twice in a row, and the second time is one-on-two. Your cultivation level is not high to begin with. Let alone winning one-on-two, it will be difficult to even survive." Another Supreme Elder also shook his head. road.
"It's better for the three of us to go. Although we are injured, we can still fight hard.""We can't die together, but we have to keep our Baiyun Sword Sect's fiefdom," the last Supreme Elder said through gritted teeth.
"I think it's better not to compete. You are going to lose anyway, so why not just give up and preserve your strength. Then even though you lose your fiefdom, you can still make a comeback," Su Ren said with some anxiety.
"Nonsense, without the fiefdom, where is the chance to make a comeback?" a Supreme Elder said angrily.
"Okay, I have decided. Senior Sister Qiong and I will participate in the competition. Don't worry, nothing will happen to us. I haven't done enough for this sect leader. Besides, my Tianwai Feixian Sword Art has grown into a middle-grade Immortal Art. There are also high-grade immortal weapons, the Immortal Seal of the Master to protect the body, and the ability to use the art of combining human and sword, so there may not be no chance of winning." Xu Xiaochen said with a smile.
Although he was smiling, his tone was unquestionable and even full of confidence. The sword immortals were silent for a while after hearing this, and had no choice but to nod.
"You are the leader, we cannot disobey your orders, but don't force yourself too much. Safety is the top priority. Su Ren said it right before. We don't have a fiefdom, so we may not be able to make a comeback. You are with the Qian family. We have a good relationship with Qian Wuji, but if it doesn¡¯t work out, we can go to the Qian family.¡± The former head coach Wei Yi said thoughtfully.
"That's right, we have so many experts here. If you want to join the Qian family, your god brother will definitely be the one you want." Xu Xiaochen smiled and nodded.
In fact, Xu Xiaochen never thought that he would fail, because Chi Lian could absorb power from the chaotic void without consuming any vitality. With the passage of time, Xu Xiaochen practiced in Chi Lian and Immortal Seal for three months, which was actually a full After three thousand years, it has now reached the peak of the first-level true immortal. Not only has the Heavenly Flying Immortal Sword Art grown into a mid-level immortal art, but after absorbing a large number of flying swords, even the Sword God Art has reached the early stage of the third level.
Of course, the power of faith from countless monks in the lower world is also one of the important reasons for Xu Xiaochen¡¯s rapid promotion.
The first-level peak true immortal may not be able to withstand the third-level true immortal, but combined with the third-level early stage Sword God Art, it can make the strength further. This is Xu Xiaochen's biggest reliance.
In addition, the high-grade Immortal Artifact Palm Teaching Immortal Seal should not be underestimated, as it was enough to ensure that Xu Xiaochen would not be killed.
After all, the power of high-grade immortal weapons is beyond imagination, and only masters in the realm of Xuanxian can refine it. There may not be a second high-grade fairy weapon in the entire Yunzhou
