Then he saw the girl's big, dark eyes staring at him without blinking.
The two stared at each other for a while, and the girl finally gave in first, her fair and pretty face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
"How is it? Did you successfully condense your primordial spirit?" Lin Yi casually put the girl down gently and then asked.
Ying Huanhuan nodded, then raised her slightly flushed cheeks, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy: "I did it!"
Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "It seems that we have all made good gains this time."
"What do you plan to do next?" Little Mink glanced at the two of them and then asked Lin Yi.
"I need to go back to the Dao Sect first, and then I'll go with my fellow disciples to participate in the Sect Competition," Lin Yi said.
Lin Yi brought Ying Huanhuan out, so naturally he had to send him back safely. Otherwise, it wouldn't hurt for him to train outside for a while.
"As far as I know, all the previous sect competitions have been held in the Otherworldly Demon Realm, right? Tsk, that's an extremely dangerous place," Little Marten clicked his tongue upon hearing this.
Lin Yi smiled faintly, "So what if it's dangerous? Are you going to back down? Are you coming back to the Dao Sect with me?"
“We won’t go there. I plan to take this guy to another place to see if I can help him break through to the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm. If he does, I will take him directly to the Otherworldly Demon Realm to find you,” Little Marten said after thinking for a moment.
Lin Yi nodded slightly. "In that case, let's part ways here after we get out. Be careful."
After saying that, Lin Yi had a slight thought and led Ying Huanhuan and the other two out of the ancestral palace into the valley outside.
Little Mink and Little Flame said goodbye to Lin Yi and then drifted away.
"Let's go too," Lin Yi said to Huanhuan after putting away the ancestral palace.
"I'll go back by myself."
Ying Huanhuan nodded, then gave Lin Yi a sly smile before her delicate body transformed into a streak of rainbow light and shot off, clearly embarrassed to be carried by Lin Yi any longer.
Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head, quickly chasing after the rainbow light...
Chapter 251 Fellow Senior Brothers, Strive for the Might of Our Dao Sect! [Please Read On]
Ying Huanhuan, being a young girl, rarely got to go out, and since the important matters had been resolved, she was much more relaxed on the way back. The two of them enjoyed themselves like tourists, and it wasn't until half a month later that they returned to the Dao Sect.
Not long after the two returned to the Dao Sect, a disciple from the Heavenly Palace arrived and informed them that Palace Master Qi Lei of the Heavenly Palace wanted Ying Huanhuan to return the Heavenly Phoenix Zither as soon as possible.
Lin Yi and Ying Huanhuan then parted ways, with Lin Yi returning to the desolate palace alone.
In the following period, Lin Yi returned to the Ancestral Palace to cultivate in peace, occasionally showing his face or visiting the Martial Arts Hall.
Seeing Lin Yi's diligent cultivation, both Hall Masters Chenzhen and Wudao were extremely satisfied.
As time passed day by day, the atmosphere within the Dao Sect quietly became tense once again, with many disciples looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The outstanding disciples in the four halls were cultivating desperately, trying to make their strength even greater.
The source of this scene is, of course, the upcoming sect competition.
In these sect competitions, the Dao Sect has been almost completely suppressed by the Yuan Sect through deliberate means. In the last competition, the Yuan Sect even forced the then-senior sister of the Heavenly Palace to her death, which thoroughly enraged all the disciples of the Dao Sect.
If it weren't for the Dao Sect's high-ranking officials' efforts to suppress it, a major battle would probably have already broken out between the two sides.
This resentment was clearly impossible to suppress. As time went by, it gradually deepened, waiting only for the moment it would explode.
Clearly, the breaking point was the sect competition, because there, no matter what methods you used, you would not be criticized.
Many Daoist disciples are waiting, waiting for that chance for revenge!
And now, that opportunity is finally here!
With the sect competition drawing ever closer, the atmosphere within the Dao Sect is even more suffocating than before the palace examination.
Everyone was holding their breath, just waiting to unleash it at the sect competition!
Time flies, and soon it was time for the sect competition.
At the central peak of the Dao Sect, on the giant plaza atop that massive and majestic mountain, hundreds of disciples stood in neat rows at the very center. Waves of extremely powerful Yuan energy emanated from their bodies like a tide, enveloping the entire plaza.
Each of these people has reached at least the sixth level of Nirvana. They are the most outstanding disciples among the four halls, and they will represent the Dao Sect in this year's sect competition!
At the forefront of these disciples stood several figures standing upright, and Lin Yi was among them. Behind him were Jiang Hao, Pang Tong, and other direct disciples of the Desolate Hall.
As they gazed at the tall figure ahead, their eyes held an undisguised reverence.
With his victory in the palace examination, Lin Yi's reputation in the Dao Sect undoubtedly reached its peak. Not only did the disciples of the Desolate Hall obey him, but even some of the top disciples of the other three halls held him in high esteem.
With the upcoming sect competition, the Dao Sect is naturally organizing its forces to prepare for the main force to depart for the Otherworldly Demon Realm.
Lin Yi stood at the head of the line, his gaze casually sweeping across the crowd, and then he saw Ying Huanhuan in front of the Heavenly Palace's line not far away.
Three or four months have passed since Lin Yi and Ying Huanhuan returned to the Dao Sect. Lin Yi has spent most of his time cultivating in the ancestral palace, while Ying Huanhuan has been symbolically confined. The two have hardly seen each other at all.
The girl clearly noticed his gaze, and immediately a bright and cheerful smile appeared on her pretty face. Her charming appearance caused many disciples around to cast envious glances at Lin Yi.
Although Ying Huanhuan usually gets along well with other disciples, discerning people can still see that the girl's attitude towards Lin Yi is slightly different.
Lin Yi smiled at Ying Huanhuan, then suddenly looked up and gazed ahead.
On the high platform ahead, the sound of wind breaking rang out, and then several figures landed. The one in the lead was none other than Ying Xuanzi, the sect leader of the Dao Sect. Behind him were the hall masters and deputy hall masters of the four halls.
Upon seeing Ying Xuanzi appear, the whispers that had been taking place in the square immediately ceased, and all eyes, filled with deep reverence, were fixed on Ying Xuanzi, who was dressed in white and appeared quite refined.
Ying Xuanzi stood on the high platform, looking down at the young disciples below with their fiery eyes. Then, his gentle voice, as warm as a spring breeze, rang in the ears of everyone present.
"As disciples of the Dao Sect, you are all familiar with the dangers and cruelty of the sect competition. This time, it's not a friendly sparring match. There, the only people you can trust are your fellow disciples..."
Ying Xuanzi gazed at his excited disciples with a complex expression, his voice low and deep. He knew that when they returned, their faces would be filled with a coldness.
But their companions become the price they pay for understanding this coldness.
"In this sect competition, Xiaoxiao will be in charge, with Lin Yi and Wang Yan assisting. I hope that the three of you can bring back all your fellow disciples without losing a single one!"
Finally, Ying Xuanzi looked sternly at the three people at the front of the group and shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes," Ying Xiaoxiao replied in a deep voice, her pretty face cold and stern.
Lin Yi and Wang Yan exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
Lin Yi had no worries about this sect competition. What was a little over three years in the stone statue space of the ancestral palace was nearly four months in the outside world!
Excluding the time spent outside, Lin Yi spent nearly three years cultivating in the ancestral palace!
Now, his Yuan Power cultivation has progressed from the Lesser Completion of the Death Profound Realm to the Greater Completion and Perfection, and has entered the Reincarnation Realm; while his Spiritual Power cultivation has also successfully advanced to the Lesser Talisman Master level.
He could wipe out those so-called elite disciples of the Yuan Sect with a flick of his wrist!
However, Lin Yi did not fully reveal his cultivation level. Under the system's effect, he only revealed the strength of the Lesser Completion of the Death Profound Realm.
Nevertheless, it still greatly surprised Ying Xuanzi and the others.
"The four palace masters will accompany you to the City of Otherworldly Demons this time. However, once you enter the Otherworldly Demon Realm, you will have to rely on yourselves. I wonder if you are ready?"
On the square, the disciples' eyes were resolute and fervent, and not one of them showed any sign of backing down.
Upon seeing this, Ying Xuanzi smiled and said softly, "If you are ready, then set off. We, the entire Dao Sect, will be here waiting for your triumphant return!"
As soon as Ying Xuanzi finished speaking, the young faces of the crowd couldn't help but show excitement.
Qi Lei, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, also stepped out at this moment, and with a wave of his hand, he and the other three Palace Masters soared into the air.
shhhhhh!
Seeing this, the Daoist disciples on the square also soared into the air, their formation quite orderly. Then, they all looked down at the people covering the mountains and fields, and bowed deeply in a gesture of respect.
Wow!
On the surrounding mountain peaks, countless Daoist disciples clasped their fists towards the sky, and then, a series of low roars resounded.
"Fellow disciples, let us strengthen our Dao Sect!"
The low growl rumbled and spread, causing the sky to tremble and the blood in people's bodies to suddenly boil.
"go!"
Qi Lei glanced around, then swung his hand down, his deep voice resounding. As soon as the voice fell, he took the lead and flashed out.
Swish!
As he moved, hundreds of figures behind him also rushed out, and in an instant, a sharp sound of wind breaking rang out. Then, a large group of people, like a dark cloud, swept away the Dao Sect and quickly left.
Chapter 252 Conflict in the Demon City! [Please continue reading]
The Otherworldly Demon Realm is located in the central part of the Eastern Xuan Domain. This area is considered one of the most famous places in the Eastern Xuan Domain.
Beyond the Otherworldly Realm, there are many cities, among which the Otherworldly City is the most magnificent and massive.
This is the entrance and exit of the Otherworldly Demon Realm. People from all sides are here, a mixed and noisy place.
Led by Qi Lei and his companions, the Dao Sect disciples arrived at the City of Otherworldly Demons without any trouble. They settled in the western part of the city and were then allowed to roam freely, with only instructions to be careful outside.
Just as everyone settled into their lodgings, Ying Huanhuan came to the door and dragged Lin Yi out to go shopping.
Not long after they left, they ran into Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan.
Upon bumping into Ying Xiaoxiao, Ying Huanhuan glanced away slightly, then gave her a half-smile before turning to Lin Yi: "We're going out anyway, so let's go together. Also, the treasure hunting area in the Otherworldly Demon City is quite interesting; I think Junior Brother Lin Yi will find it quite fascinating."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Lin Yi was naturally familiar with the treasure hunting area of the Otherworldly Demon City, and he remembered that there was a special item in the treasure hunting area that would be of great use after entering the Otherworldly Demon Realm.
When Lin Yi and his group of four entered the treasure hunting area, a cacophony of noise immediately surged forth like a flood, causing a slight stinging sensation in their eardrums.
"The ancient martial art, the Cloud-Piercing Great Thousand Palm, is absolutely comparable to a top-grade spiritual martial art, and it only costs eight million Nirvana Pills!"
"Resurrection Pill, a holy elixir of healing, just one breath is all it takes to bring you back to life! Seven million Nirvana Pills for a bargain!"
"..."
According to their descriptions, these items all seem to be extraordinary treasures, but in reality, most of them are exaggerated.
Ying Huanhuan, with her girlish heart, quite enjoyed such lively occasions. She moved among them like a butterfly, her black ponytail swaying with youthful vitality.
With the sect competition about to begin, there were too many people gathered in the Demon City, especially in the treasure hunting area, which was packed with people. In the blink of an eye, Ying Huanhuan's figure disappeared from Lin Yi and the other two's sight.
When Lin Yi and his two companions caught up with Ying Huanhuan again, they found that the girl was slightly angry. In front of her were three grinning young men, who were tossing a green hairpin in their hands. A powerful energy fluctuation emanated from it, clearly indicating that it was a good spiritual treasure.
"What happened?" Ying Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and looked at Ying Huanhuan.
"I had my eye on a magical treasure and had even negotiated a price with someone, but those three bastards suddenly interfered and snatched the hairpin away," Ying Huanhuan said aggrievedly.
