Chapter 667
The Competition of the Four Paths is an important event for the Shang Qing Sect that happens once every decade .
Therefore, every time it is the time for the competition, the Shang Qing Sect's cultivators begin to get busy .
Setting up the battling stages, cleaning up the list of the competitors, or designing the tests – while all of these tasks sound very small, they go on continuously behind the stage .
After all, the Competition of the Four Paths was a tradition that's been going on for thousands of years . No matter how troublesome, they were experienced enough to not let any accidents happen .
As for the cultivators who were getting ready to participate in the competition, they were even busier .
The Shang Qing Sect's descendants cultivated tirelessly to improve their techniques, cultivation, and battling experiences . The descendants of the Paths of Arrays, Crafts, and Alchemy, did not even feel pitiful for wasting their materials as they again and again crafted their best product .
Under such an intense environment, the atmosphere of the Shang Qing Sect had gotten more and more tense .
Countless people raised their necks in anticipation of the Competition and in meeting the different Heaven's Favorites with their respective dazzling skills .
However, most people were certain that the winner of this year's competition will be those famously known Heaven's Favorites .
Leng Feng from cultivation, Ta Ba Feng from arrays, Hong Luo Zhuang from alchemy, and Xiang Ru Gu from crafts .
During the time Ling Xian was in isolation, these four's names became wildly known as the top talents of the Shang Qing Sect and the strongest descendants of the four paths .
Their capabilities made them deserving of this title .
Whether it was Feng Leng, who was known for his cultivation, or the three from the side paths, they were all insanely strong and to put it bluntly, nobody in the younger generation could be considered their opponent .
Therefore, everyone was certain that these four would win the competition of their respective paths!
However, before this result that everyone had agreed on, a very unharmonious voice chimed in . That voice was one who questioned whether or not Master Xian Ling would also be participating in this year's competition .
Sadly, the moment this guess was spoken out loud, the person was drowned by people's spit .
What a joke!
The Competition of the Four Paths was specifically designed for the younger generation . Master Xian was a multi-talent with extremely profound knowledge . At the very least, he had been alive for a century . Why would he be able to participate in such a competition?
Other than the few who knew what was going on, everyone else indicated that the speculation as impossible .
Because in their hearts, whether it was the Path of Array or the Path of Crafts, Ling Xian's level of knowledge was far too terrifying and he was at least a few hundred years old .
Therefore, everyone naturally saw him as a grandmaster . The kind who's been alive for at least a few hundred years . They never would've guessed that he was young .
There was a saying that the truth was always told by the minority . Ling Xian just turned out to be a young, one who was younger than most of the people who were participating in this competition .
What could they do? He was far too insane and he could not be measured by normal logic .
Just as everyone looked up to him with their heads held high, the competition finally opened its curtains under everyone's high expectant stares .
At the same time, Ling Xian, who was inside the stone room, opened his eyes .
Just then, a quick flash of white appeared in his eyes before disappearing without a trace .
Then, he lifted himself off the tatami . The spiritual energy that belonged to the peak of the foundational level rose with him and clashed against the stone walls around him .
It was obvious that he had used merely three days to reach the peak of the foundational level from the beginning stage of the foundational level .
One has to admit that this entire thing was unbelievable . If this news got passed around, everyone would be in extreme shock . But for it to have happened to him, it didn't sound so strange anymore .
"Not bad . My cultivation is of the peak of the foundational level . It is enough to go up against the genius named Leng Feng . "
Ling Xian revealed a satisfied smile as his eyes shone with hope . "I sure hope those rare geniuses have some real form of abilities . Or else I will not be interested in them . "
Luckily there was nobody else inside the stone room . Or else they wouldn't be thinking good things after hearing what he had said .
Those who are participating, are not even thinking about winning the entire competition . They were all going with the hope of winning second or third . This was because they all knew that there was far too big of a gap between them and those geniuses . Yet there he was, not only was he going for first place, he was also hoping that the geniuses are truly powerful . This alone would make everyone speechless .
But from this, it became obvious how aggressively confident he was!
"Alright, let's go . Since I am a pupil of the Path of Crafts, I will have to win on this path first . " Ling Xian grinned and headed towards the crafts palace .
The way he was walking wasn't like he was on his way to an intense competition . It was as if he was going to take something that was rightfully his .
He strolled on like that and by the time he reached the arena, the competition had started .
On top of the wide field, countless silhouettes sat with their legs crossed . Before them were their individual cauldrons . All of them had a serious expression as they focused on controlling the ingredients inside the cauldron .
Without a doubt, these people were making crafts .
Around them were a thin layer of barrier that separated them from the outside voices and energy, just in case anyone tries to sabotage them . Outside the barriers were seven elders wearing long robes . They were the judges of this competition .
Other than these people, there were many people who were there for the show . Looking over, one could see that the field was completely black . At the very least, there were thousands of people and most of them were people who couldn't participate in the test .
This was all there was .
Based on how simple this whole thing was, nobody would believe that this was the utmost important event for the Shang Qing Sect . But this was one of the things that made this competition so different .
