Chapter 577 The Battle for Rank
Bingyuan County is far away from Xuandu Temple. Even if Zhou Qing controls the Tianxing Shenzhou, it will take a long time to arrive.
"Junior brother, you are really profound, and you actually have a flying artifact."
Looking at the Tianxing Shenzhou, Jiang Mi's face was full of admiration.
Zhou Qing said modestly: "It's just a mid-grade artifact, it's nothing. Like me, Xuandu Guan, which venerable person doesn't have his own artifact."
Jiang Mi shook his head and said: "How can other artifacts and flying artifacts compare."
"Among the many types of artifacts, flying artifacts and palace artifacts far exceed other artifacts in terms of refining difficulty and value. , one piece can There are many artifacts that are worthy of attack and defense."
"Even in the Jiang family, there are very few flying artifacts. It is a family treasure."
A divine weapon, that sword. How much material did you use?
To be more simple, one or two main divine materials and three or five auxiliary materials can be refined.
But to refine a palace or flying boat, the quantity of materials required is at least ten times that of the Divine Sword, and the material grade is also higher than that of the Divine Sword.
The key is the difficulty of refining. Ordinary Yin Shen level weapon refiners are almost incapable of refining.
Jiang Mi was really envious of Zhou Qing for having such a flying artifact. In the Jiang family, this was not something that a disciple could have. He was the same, it was too valuable.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing smiled and said:
"I also have a high-grade artifact, the Qingxu Palace, on Kunlun Mountain. I will open the door to Senior Brother Jiang at any time and welcome Senior Brother to be a guest."
"..."
Jiang Mi was speechless, feeling his poverty. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said:
"Junior brother is really... rich."
Why? I feel that my Jiang family is the family of Wilderness Town, and this Junior Brother Zhou is the one who comes from a noble family with an astonishing background.
It's the other way around, it's really the other way around...
"It's just a foreign object, not worth mentioning."
Zhou Qing's face was calm, and his tone didn't really care.
No, I can’t talk about these things anymore, otherwise I won’t be able to bear it.
Jiang Mi immediately changed the subject and said:
"Junior brother, let me tell you what my sister and I are good at, as well as the situation of the Luoxia Icefield..."
In this way, it is necessary to have an understanding of the strength of your teammates in advance when traveling in a team.
In this way, we can make a more accurate judgment only when we encounter some special problems after entering the ice field.
Zhou Qing listened silently, and then had a clearer and more specific understanding of these things.
Jiang Mi was the last one before Zhou Qing came, but this was because he was only promoted to true successor last year. At that time, he was only in the bone refining realm, with the least strength and qualifications, so naturally he could only be ranked last. Bit.
The current third-to-last Wang Zai was only a little earlier than Jiang Mi, and that was last year.
After some hard training after being promoted to True Inheritance, Jiang Mi has now entered the realm of marrow cleansing for the first time, and his strength has greatly increased.
“If I can find a Tianxia Snow Spring this time, then when the next battle for the rank of true inheritance comes, I should be able to break through to the realm of marrow cleansing and small success.”
Jiang Mi looked full of ambition at this time.
"At that time, I also want to see how strong the senior brothers in front are."
Who can become the true successor of Xuandu, who will feel that he is weaker than others, is he stronger? Weak, you have to fight to find out.
It can't be determined by just looking at your cultivation level or comparing your realm.
Because there is no shortage of opportunities for people to transform in this world, every disciple who is promoted to the True Tradition and later in his practice will have many opportunities and experience countless transformations.
Just like this Tianxia Snow Spring, if any Xuandu True Successor gets an opportunity that is much better than his own, the gap between realms is not insurmountable.
It seems that the current top three true biography are all about the same level, but there are still differences between them.
But Yan Kuangtu and Qi Yunyuan will never give up on surpassing Dugu.
The so-called geniuses are probably people who do not believe that they are weaker than others. Whether they are at the same level or a slightly lower level, they all firmly believe that they are not weaker than others.
Such a belief cannot be missing.
And every countdown also has a heart that wants to make progress!
In the true legends of Xuandu in the past dynasties, even the innate supernatural beings have been defeated quite a lot.
Some people are not innately supernatural, and their souls and bodies are not as weird as Zhou Qing's, but their fighting power is still unimaginable.
The most intuitive example is those who have unpredictable attainments in Taoism and martial arts.
The same Tianwu and Tiandao techniques, but those people can cultivate flowers.
Logically speaking, practitioners of heaven-level Taoist and martial arts, and even peerless Taoist and magical arts, can only learn the realm of Xian Sheng Marrow and achieve some success, and cannot comprehend more profound things.
But the world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders. When others are still at the stage of getting started and have some success, there will still be amazing people who use their own talents and understanding to master the Dharma. Make up for the gaps in other aspects.
So realm does not represent everything, nor does innate magic represent everything. Life is the greatest miracle in the world, and they are also good at creating miracles.
In this aspect, Zhou Qing was undoubtedly lacking compared with those amazingly talented people.
There is no way. His training time was too short, and his breakthrough was too fast. After he learned a Taoist martial arts, he was eliminated again before he could study it deeply and refine it. He could not keep up with him. .
Just like Taibai's secret art, it was enough for Shen Long and the others to practice it for ten years, but what about Zhou Qing?
Long time behind the times.
As for things like Tianwu and Tiandao that can be used forever, he just got it this month, so naturally he didn’t have time to dig deeper.
This is his shortcoming, and there is nothing wrong with admitting it.
Because he started late and was a full ten years behind those who had been practicing since childhood, Zhou Qing could only choose to practice hard first and improve his realm. After all, this was the foundation.
If he had chosen to focus on studying Taoism and martial arts first, and spent more energy on this aspect than on improving his realm, then he would not be able to stand here and talk and laugh with Jiang Mi now.
Taoism and martial arts are all ways to protect the Tao, and the state of cultivation and one's own life are the "Tao" being protected.
Who is more important can be seen at a glance.
Comprehension of Taoism and martial arts can be made up for when the realm is high, but wasting the best time to practice in order to comprehend Taoism and martial arts is an irreparable loss.
As of today, he has almost made up for the ten years he was behind others. He has also mastered Tianwu and Tiandao. From now on, he can practice as usual, and his realm and techniques will go hand in hand.
What's more, it's not like Zhou Qing hasn't worked hard on Taoism and martial arts. After his practice of Earth Fire Seal, he is confident that his understanding of the peerless Taoism will never be worse than anyone in the same realm.
This kind of "krypton gold" Taoist practice is quite suitable for Zhou Qing, who lacks time and resources.
Zhou Qing has always had a plan in mind for her future.
The Taoist and martial arts below the heaven level that he had obtained before were not worth his time.
Now that the heavenly power is close to him and his realm has caught up, he can start to make up for the shortcomings in this area and slowly make up for the shortcomings.
Step by step, step by step, Zhou Qing is not in a hurry.
"Then junior brother is waiting for the moment when senior brother Jiang will show off his power in the battle for position."
"The one who will show off his power then may be junior brother Zhou. ”
Jiang Mi looked at Zhou Qing with a meaningful expression in his eyes.
“After all, with the speed of my junior disciple’s practice, I’m afraid you’ll have a completely new look in three months. When the next battle for ranking is over, I’m afraid I’ll have to call you senior brother.”
"Senior brother, I have been praised too much. I have become the true successor." The time is still short, and the practice of manifesting the Holy Realm is not comparable to that before. It is quite difficult. In the competition for ranking after three months, I will probably only be a spectator with my humble skills."
Zhou Qing said it very sincerely, and it seemed that this was exactly what he thought in his heart.
And according to common sense, it is indeed impossible for a manifest monk to make a further step in three months, nor can Xuandu True Transmission.
If you break through a small realm in three months, doesn't it take one year to reach perfection from the early stages of becoming a saint?
Today's No. 1 True Legend, Dugu, possesses the body of a god. Even the combination of a foreign soul and a foreign body cannot do such a thing.
Jiang Mi felt that what Zhou Qing said was very reasonable and consistent with the facts, but when he thought of this junior brother's past experience, he felt a little unsure.
After all, this is a peerless man who has cultivated to the realm of manifesting the Holy Spirit in less than a year.
Perhaps he can still maintain such miracles when he is in the Holy Realm?
Jiang Mi rationally felt that this was impossible and too outrageous, but he really didn't dare to vouch for it.
“I wonder if the top ten true legends will change in the next battle for ranking.”
Zhou Qing had a look of anticipation on his face, as if he was looking forward to the scene of a fight. There was a kind of look. Lively mood.
Jiang Mi shook his head, "The top ten true disciples are all top masters. No one knows whether anyone can shake or take their place."
"But with the talent of Junior Brother You , there will definitely be a chance after the cultivation level goes up.”
"Haha, let me borrow the good words from Senior Brother Jiang."
The Tianxing Shenzhou went away. Zhou Qing and Jiang Mi talked about the battle for ranking, with thoughts in their minds.
Three months... The replacement of Xuandu True Successor's position cannot be carried out at any time.
If a new true successor like Zhou Qing feels that he is better than those senior brothers and is dissatisfied with his current position, he can only endure it for the time being.
You need to wait until the competition for ranking organized by Xuandu Temple begins, then you can challenge the senior brothers in an honest, reasonable and legal manner, and the winner will take the throne.
This kind of battle for the true inheritance position will be held every six months, that is, in June and December every year.
The last three days at the end of these two months are the time for direct competition between Xuandu True Successors.
That’s why Zhou Qing has been sitting peacefully in the last position without any movement during this period.
Because now he can't move his position even if he wants to. Even if he wins a duel with any senior brother and proves his strength, his position in the True Palace will not change.
This is a rule, and there is only one situation in which you can ignore this rule.
The competition for ranking twice a year can be said to have fully brought competitive pressure to the Xuandu True Successors, making all the True Successors dare not relax at all.
Half a year is not a short period of time for Xuandu Zhenzhuan who is in the realm of Xian Sheng and Baptism. No matter what he is practicing, he can basically see progress.
Take realm as an example. It may not be possible to break through a small realm, but it will definitely improve a lot.
And you don’t have to improve your ranking in this biannual ranking battle. After all, other Xuandu True Successors will not stand still. Everyone is making progress, and latecomers have not caught up. Forerunners, this is understandable.
But you must show the improvement in your current strength compared to the last time you competed.
This is Xuanduguan’s requirement for every true disciple.
As long as you have made progress compared to last time, even if your rank has not been improved, Xuandu Guan will give you some rewards to encourage your hard work in the past six months.
If you make no progress in half a year, your ranking will be lowered, and your resources will be reduced, you will also be interviewed by the supervisor.
It can be said that this is the real purpose of Xuanduguan’s two ranking competitions every year, to give you enough pressure to prevent you from slacking off.
The sect never hopes that you will give up on yourself and give up cultivation because of the strength of other sect members.
To practice Yiyi is not only to compete with others and surpass others, but more importantly, to constantly surpass yourself.
As long as you practice hard and make a little progress every day, if things continue like this, you will eventually achieve good results.
Sometimes you don’t have to compare with other people, just compare with your past self. As long as you can surpass your past self, that’s a good thing.
Xuan Du Guan’s training system for true disciples can be said to be quite complete and very attentive, and will never be left to chance.
However, although the biannual ranking competition will not change and will be held regularly, there will also be some special circumstances.
For example, some true disciples may have applied to join the world to experience and have not returned for several years. In this case, they do not need to rush back to participate in the battle for ranking.
Their rank will be sealed before the end of their entry into the world. Like a disciple ranked eleventh, during his entry into the world, other disciples can also compete for the eleventh position and can be He doesn't exist.
However, the resources Xuanduguan gives him will still be based on the rank he held when he entered the world, until he returns to the sect and re-engages in the battle for rank or is promoted to an elder.
But the top ten true disciples cannot be like this. Even if they enter the world to experience, they still need to come back to participate in the battle for ranking.
In addition to the experience of joining the world, if there is a true successor who is delayed due to some really special things and cannot return to Xuandu Temple, then he can miss the next ranking battle, but he cannot miss it twice.
As I just said, the only situation where you can improve your ranking without challenging your senior brother during the ranking battle is...
You want to challenge the number one true successor.
This is the only exception. The other nine of the top ten true legends cannot do it, only Dugu can.
Any true disciple under Dugu can challenge him at any time.
As long as you win, you don't have to wait for the ranking battle to start, you can directly reach the top and become the new Xuandu Senior Brother.
If Zhou Qing doesn't want to sit at the bottom position and doesn't want to wait for the ranking battle, then he can only get rid of the bottom place immediately by taking the position of Dugu.
But isn't this a light in the toilet...
It was not until night that Zhou Qing and Jiang Mi arrived in Bingyuan County.
The Jiang family is just outside the Icefield County. There is a treasure land with a very superior environment. Although it cannot be called a paradise, it is the limit that a force of the Jiang family's size can occupy.
When we arrived outside the Jiang family, although it was night, the lights inside were brightly lit and the area was extremely vast. Zhou Qing could sense the extremely strong popularity inside.
The Jiang family has been inherited for hundreds of years and has a large population, so it can be called a large family.
In this magical world, there are Taoist techniques for assisting pregnancy, there are Taoist techniques for miscarriage, and there are also Taoist techniques for delivering babies.
After hundreds of years of inheritance from a cultivating family, the population has expanded at an incredible rate.
When the Tianxing Shenzhou landed, someone immediately came up to question him, but after seeing Jiang Mi, he immediately saluted.
"Fifth Young Master, you are back."
Jiang Mi is the son of the current head of the Jiang family. He is a legitimate direct descendant and a true descendant of Xuandu. He has a high status in the Jiang family.
So with Jiang Mi leading the way, the two of them entered Jiang's house unimpeded and went straight to the depths.
I have to say that a family of this level is really big.
It is conceivable that the Cui family, a top family like the Dong family, must be more impressive.
"Junior Brother Zhou, it's getting late now, and we've been on the road all day. How about we rest for the night and start again early tomorrow morning?"
Jiang Mi said: "You don't have to worry about Tianxia Snow Spring. Snow Spring has to wait until the end of the month He won't be born until a few days later."
"That's annoying."
Zhou Qing nodded. He was going to the snow spring. Since he wouldn't miss it, he would go there tonight. It won't make any difference if I go tomorrow.
Jiang Mi smiled and said: "Junior brother, you are too polite. I have told the people at home to prepare a banquet. Let's go and eat."
"By the way, my sister will also come when the time comes. Junior brother can get familiar with her first so that we can cooperate more easily after entering the ice field."
"..."
Eat again.
This meal will not be like Ye Chong’s meal, it will be the Hongmen Banquet.
Such a thought flashed through Zhou Qing's mind, naturally it was just a self-deprecating thought.
Zhou Qing followed Shan Ruliu, and when he arrived at the banquet place, he saw a beautiful woman in black clothes waiting here in advance.
Jiang Mi made an introduction and found out that this was his sister who would go into the ice field together.
Jiang Ling, who has perfected the cultivation of Xian Sheng, in order to seek an opportunity to break through the realm, after soaking in the Tianxia Snow Spring three times, he still chose to enter the Luoxia Icefield, hoping to sharpen himself in the turbulent icefield.
Zhou Qing said politely: "We will have to trouble Miss Jiang later."
"Everyone helps each other."
Jiang Ling smiled slightly. Although he was not very enthusiastic, his attitude was considered good.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Mi took Zhou Qing to the residence arranged for him, chatted for a while and then returned here.
Jiang Ling asked: "Do you think highly of your junior brother?"
"The clan should also know something about junior brother Zhou." Jiang Mi said:
“I think he has a bright future and is worthy of friendship.”
Jiang Ling nodded slightly, "Judging from this person's past, he is indeed a legend."
Xuandu has seen such a thing as a true disciple. As long as the big forces in Hanzhou are willing, they will definitely understand it. of.
"I believe that Junior Brother Zhou will also be a legend in the future." Jiang Mi said with great certainty:
"And with his current strength, even stronger than me, he will definitely be a threat to us entering the ice field. It’s helpful.”
“It is true that in the early stage of manifesting the saint, he still mastered peerless Taoism. Judging from his performance in the Ten Thousand Demons Tower, now even ordinary perfection will not be his opponent. He is indeed a very good helper. .”
Jiang Ling has never doubted the strength of Xuandu True Successor.
"Sister, which geniuses will enter the ice field this time, and has the family collected any information?"
"Some, like..."
On the other side, Zhou Qing checked some things on his body to make sure they were correct.
"Senior Brother Jiang helped me a lot this time..."
Zhou Qing muttered to himself, and he naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Mi's invitation.
I am looking for a helper, but I am also investing in making friends with him.
Sure enough, as long as people show value, a steady stream of good people will naturally appear around you.
