The sun rose from the east, and at the top of the stairs in front of the Taixuan Hall, there were eight seats in a row. Taoist Xuan Tian of the Taixuan Sect sat in the middle, and on both sides of the Taoist Xuan Tian sat the first seats of the seven meridians.


    At this time, under the Taixuan Sect, all nine bloodline disciples had gathered at the two sides of the plaza below the stairs.


    On the plaza, nine round arenas had been set up. Each arena was about ten meters high and fifteen meters wide. At this time, all the disciples were discussing in whispers about who would win the final victory of today''s competition, and who would be able to enter the top ten.


    The topics of the disciples all revolved around Lee Lingfeng, Dongfaang Chen and a person called Zi Yu. No one would discuss about Gu Fei, because, in the eyes of the young disciples, among the younger generation, Gu Fei''s cultivation was definitely at the bottom of the list.


    "Lee Lingfeng, Dongfaang Chen, Zi Yu?" Gu Fei sneered, his gaze sweeping across the crowd of disciples, paying attention to the young disciple who might become his opponent today. He saw Dongfaang Chen, and also saw the Wang Yuanzhi that he loathed the most, and among the outstanding disciples from Sect Master, the one standing in front of the group of young disciples was a young man who was around twenty years old.


    That person, Gu Fei knew, was the First Senior Brother of the Sect Master bloodline, Lee Lingfeng. From the moment he entered the sect until now, Gu Fei had not seen Lee Lingfeng many times. It was because the two of them were both cultivation maniacs, so they spent all their time on their cultivation, leaving their cultivation grounds very rarely.


    Lee Lingfeng, you can be considered a genius cultivator. After entering the Sect Master bloodline, he has already risen above the rest of the young disciples and awakened my peak level of Eighth Layer, allowing him to sit firmly on the seat of honor as the number one expert among the young disciples.


    He did not have an outstanding appearance nor a slender figure. Lee Lingfeng''s outer appearance was very ordinary, but this kind of person, actually displayed extraordinary talent in cultivation.


    It had to be said that within the Cultivation Realm, there were still some peerless geniuses. In every generation, there were many geniuses.


    "Lee Lingfeng is definitely a good opponent!" Gu Fei thought, as for Dongfaang Chen, although he was also a strong opponent, but ever since he started training in the Body Refinement Realm, Dongfaang Chen was no longer a threat to him.


    This was not because Gu Fei was arrogant, but because of an intuition from the Warrior. Although Dongfaang Chen was strong, Gu Fei did not think that Dongfaang Chen could stop him.


    Warrior of the same realm, in close combat, was better than cultivators. If cultivators were to get close to Warrior of the same realm, it would mean that the cultivator had already lost.


    In close combat, the Warrior held the absolute advantage. Martial skills were also a type of killing technique. Once it was in close range, it could either die or be injured. Even if it wasn''t in close range, its abilities and abilities were able to resist a cultivator''s technique.


    Therefore, it goes without saying that the Warrior who wakes up my Seventh Layer will end up facing another cultivator of the same level. Even if it was against cultivators with Eighth Layer, he would still be able to put up a fight.


    The person who stood behind Lee Lingfeng was a handsome youth who had a weak aura to him.


    "That person is Zi Yu! "She is indeed pretty, but it seems like she is too pretty. She looks a bit like a boy or a girl." Gu Fei realized that the young man''s skin was white and he was looking around brilliantly, causing people to suspect that he was a girl disguised as a man.


    At this time, the head of the Green Cloud Peak, the Daoist man Xuan Wu stood up and walked to the front. He looked around at the disciples on both sides of the plaza and then said loudly: "I announce that the Nine Branch Sect Competition has officially begun.


    Of the nine great profound veins, the other eight had sent ten disciples, and only one person,, was participating in the competition.


    As soon as Daoist Xuanfa finished his words, ten young disciples walked out from the crowd of disciples. also walked up, with Green Spirit Peak and only him as the disciple, he immediately obtained the qualifications to compete, and without thinking about the other branches, he had to first compete internally to determine who would come out.


    And so, eighty-one disciples gathered in front of the square and under the steps. The competition for the top ten among the younger generation began from these eighty-one disciples.


    As the group of disciples walked out, two Daoists and two other Daoists came down from the stairs at the same time. The middle-aged Daoist in front held a brush in his right hand and a book in his left. The two daoists behind him were all hugging a wooden case.


    The middle-aged Daoist went down the stairs and stood to the side, while the two daoists held their wooden boxes and walked to the front of the disciples.


    "Begin the drawing of lots!" Daoist Xuan Wu''s voice spread throughout the entire arena. By drawing lots, he would decide the opponents of each disciple. This was the most fair method.


    It was solely due to his luck that he had drawn the bad lots.


    First Senior Brother s of the Sect Master bloodline were the first to walk up to the wooden box. Reaching into the round hole on the wooden box, they took out a jade tablet, and handed it over to the middle-aged Daoist who was standing beside them.


    The middle-aged Daoist looked at the jade tablet in front of him and wrote down a name on the notebook in his hand.


    All around the plaza, the surrounding disciples were whispering to each other. They were all very curious as to who was the strongest opponent among the Taixuan Sect young generation, and who would be so unlucky to encounter an expert like Lee Lingfeng the moment they appeared.


    Inside the wooden box, there were no less than eighty-one jade tablets with the names of the eighty-one disciples written on them. Whoever drew them would be his opponent.


    If one''s luck was good enough to fall into pieces and draw their own name, then this disciple who had drawn his name would have to draw it again, until someone else''s name was drawn.


    After drawing lots, Lee Lingfeng retreated to the side. After that, the other disciples one after another walked forward, and drew their opponents from the wooden chest.


    Gu Fei was not in a hurry to go up and draw straws. Amongst the eight branch disciples, he discovered Zhao Zirou''s figure.


    At this time, Zhao Zirou also saw Gu Fei, so she walked towards him.


    "Senior brother Gu." Zhao Zirou called out to Gu Fei. She was not surprised to see Gu Fei here, because Gu Fei was the only one left in the Branch Vein of Green Spirit Peak.


    "Junior Sister Zhao, I didn''t think that you would also participate in the Nine Veins Trial." Half a year ago, Zhao Zirou''s cultivation seemed to be awakening my Fifth Layer, but today, looking at this Purple Bamboo Peak disciple, it seems that her profound strength has already broken through to the level of awakening my Sixth Layer.


    Under Gu Fei''s burning gaze, Zhao Zirou could not help but blush and said softly: "I hope that Senior Brother Gu will show mercy later in the competition."


    "There''s no mercy in attacking, and there''s no mercy in attacking. However, if the opponent is Junior Sister Zhao, I will make an exception." Gu Fei said with a serious face.


    "He is merciless and merciless!" Suddenly, a disdainful voice came from beside Gu Fei, and a handsome White-Clothed Early Youth walked past them with a proud face.


    "Dongfaang Chen?" Gu Fei stared at the youth who was walking over, and a light flashed in his eyes. I''ll make you suffer today, Gu Fei couldn''t help but feel a surge of fury in his heart.


    At this moment, while Gu Fei and he was conversing, a small half of the people had already walked forward and drawn their opponents from the wooden boxes held by the two daoists.


    "Senior Brother, let''s go draw lots too!" Seeing that a majority of the people had drawn their lots, Zhao Zirou said to Gu Fei.


    "En!" Gu Fei replied as he walked forward with Zhao Zirou.
