Ding Huan began his closed-door cultivation, but a sect of the Taoist realm ignited.
This sect, naturally, is the newbie in the Taoist realm. It's called Lan Xing Sect.
Lan Xing Sect's rise to fame is because the secret land of the Taoist realm, Lihuo Secret Land, has opened.
The Lihuo Secret Land, originally designed for entrance based on the strength of sects, with a very small portion of the slots reserved for scattered cultivators.
In theory, a newly emerged sect like Lan Xing should not have any slots. To secure a slot, they would have to compete with the scattered cultivators.
However, over the past few years, Lan Xing has recruited many disciples. The vice-head of Lan Xing, Li Yinzhu, has also become more decisive and concise in his actions.
Upon learning that Lan Xing sect had no slots, they immediately raised an objection at the sects' conference of the Taoist realm.
She believes that since it is a secret realm, anyone should be eligible to enter.
Therefore, the best way to enter the Lihuo Secret Land is to remove the previous allocation method and adopt a group dueling competition to select.
This proposal made many sects feel amusing, as the allocation scheme for secret realms had been in place for over a thousand years. Can you just change it because you're a new sect?
If the allocation of slots could be changed, it would have been done long ago, and we wouldn't be at this point today.
What surprised most sects was that the alliance president of the Taoist realm, Wu Xin Pot, agreed with Li Yinzhu's proposal and made a statement at the sect conference right away.
Sects that originally had fixed slots naturally opposed this allocation method.
However, even the city lord of the City of Zhen Yun Tao, Mo Zheng, supported the broadcasting contest. Moreover, sects such as Qixing Sect, Wudan Taoism, and Tianqi Sect, among the major sects, also agreed to this allocation method.
Particularly the Qixing Sect and Tianqi Sect. These two sects have been competing for hundreds of years, each unwilling to yield. They were even able to reach a consensus on this matter, which was quite amazing.
In theory, even with a few sects agreeing to modify the allocation scheme, this proposal would still fail due to the votes of many more sects.
As a result, Wu Xin Pot introduced a secret ballot system, where it was clear to everyone who agreed and who opposed.
As the alliance president, Wu Xin Pot still has some prestige. Although many people were not happy with his proposal, they had to follow it.
Under the secret ballot system, most sects actually voted to abstain.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the reason for the abstentions is because there's a Blue Star Sect master, Ding Huan, who is known to annihilate other sects at will.
In reality, Ding Huan had only destroyed one sect, but rumors have a way of amplifying events.
Ding Huan has never appeared in public, and after establishing the Blue Star Sect, he rarely attended the sect conferences of the Taoist realm. Later, he went to the Ascension Realm.
As a result, the rumors about Ding Huan have become increasingly sensational. Ding Huan has ultimately become a synonym for annihilating other sects.
Even a major sect like the Shuanghen Sect was destroyed. Who would dare to provoke the master of the Blue Star Sect, Ding Huan?
And so, the way to enter the Lihuo Secret Realm, which had been in place for thousands of years, was changed.
According to the agreement, the broadcasting contest was divided into the refining qi stage and the building foundation stage. True refining stage practitioners were not involved in the secret realm.
Everyone knew that Ding Huan, the master of the Blue Star Sect, was formidable and ruthless in his actions.
During the broadcasting contest, everyone realized that not only could the master and disciples of the Blue Star Sect easily dominate their peers at any stage of cultivation, but even the refining qi cultivators and building foundation cultivators were capable of doing so. In the end, out of the thousand available slots, the Blue Star Sect was awarded seventy-eight.
But the Blue Star Sect only had a total of 120 disciples participating in the contest. The dozens of disciples who were eliminated were mostly defeated by their own colleagues.
Or there were significant differences in their cultivation levels.
Once this result was announced, the Blue Star Sect became the destination of choice for cultivators throughout the Taoist realm who wanted to enter the secret realm.
Afterward, the realm of the Blue Star Sect was also revealed.
The Blue Star Sect had no cultivators in the refining qi stage or the building foundation stage.
In the Blue Star Sect, cultivators in the refining qi stage are known as Star Dust, those in the building foundation stage are known as Star Clouds, and true refining cultivators are known as Yun Xing.
The broadcasting contest in the Lihuo Secret Land had ended, and a widely recognized secret in the Taoist realm had emerged.
That is, refining qi cultivators should not provoke those in the Star Dust realm, and building foundation cultivators should not confront those in the Star Cloud realm.
Some people who couldn't join the Blue Star Sect simply changed their cultivation levels to Star Dust and Star Cloud realms.
However, a cultivator's realm is determined by their cultivation technique, and even has connections with the rules of the universe. Such changes not only fail to enhance their strength but may also weaken their Dao heart.
This makes the Blue Star Sect's recruitment of disciples the most bustling time in the entire Taoist realm.
With these rumors, the level of disciples being recruited by the Blue Star Sect has become increasingly high...
This is the third year that Ding Huan was in seclusion.
Ding Huan's understanding of each star system's star rings became increasingly clear, and the star ring of the main star was as solid as a physical object.
Ding Huan first felt what the next realm was, even before he had yet to reach the next level.
Star Realm.
When his main star and the twelve star systems condensed into a large star field, it was the time when Ding Huan stepped into the Star Domain realm.
Ding Huan stopped his cultivation. He felt the Star Domain realm, but he could not step into it for a short time.
It should be that his foundation is insufficient, so he needs to enter the Creation Battlefield.
With a stretch of his hand, the flame that grew on the earth-fire vein landed on Ding Huan's palm.
What started as a small flame, after three years, has now grown into a blazing, pale yellow flame.
This flame is even slightly stronger than his own true flame, and if it continues to grow, it will undoubtedly be able to stand on its own in the future.
However, the earth-fire vein is now depleted, and the flame cannot continue to grow.
Ding Huan didn't care. With a single thought, the flame fell deep into his memory sea.
This time, his going out is to once again head for the Creation Battlefield.
One is to search for starry spiritual veins, and the second is to search for earth-fire veins.
Ding Huan stopped his cultivation, and the Fubu Seven Swords sensed it,
"Hahaha..." the Fubu Seven Swords laughed heartily and at the same time, the Daxu Sword was summoned, a hundred-yard sword beam being split out. The sword aura gathered, almost tearing apart the space, forcibly carving out a long sword crevice. "Congratulations on achieving your cultivation mastery." Ding Huan knew that the Fubu Seven Swords' strength had increased several times compared to before. "Ding Huan, I've reached level nine of Renxian." The Fubu Seven Swords was so excited that he could hardly contain his voice. Even he himself couldn't believe it; previously, it took him several centuries to cultivate from level one of Renxian to level five. Now, in just a few years, he had leaped from level five to level nine. It was only today that he understood why Ding Huan had invited him to cultivate here together. If he had gone to the Creation Battlefield earlier, he would have missed this opportunity. "It's because your foundation is sufficient; only then can you accumulate strength and burst forth." Ding Huan said. The Fubu Seven Swords shook his head:
"No, without your help, I would have needed a long time to reach level nine of Renxian. My teacher once told me that the Fubu Seven Swords has some issues. Once it's cultivated, its power is immense. The most difficult step is the first one, reaching the cultivation level of a celestial being. Now, I have great confidence that as long as I follow you in cultivating to the level of a local celestial being, I will succeed." Ding Huan also felt that there were some issues with the Fubu Seven Swords in the way he was cultivating. His current strength is limited and he can't help Fubu Seven Swords. If one day he can cultivate the Great Universe Art to a level equivalent to a celestial being, perhaps he could help a bit.
"Let's go to the Creation Battlefield now, Ding Huan. I have confidence that I can deal with a celestial being practitioner." The Fubu Seven Swords was full of enthusiasm.
Since entering the realm of Renxian, it was the first time he had ever felt this kind of confidence.
Even before he was a top ten Renxian cultivator in the Ascension Realm, he didn't have this kind of confidence.
The most feared thing for a cultivator practicing sword arts is the lack of confidence. As long as one has confidence, the sword arts will continue to improve.
Once confidence is lost, the cultivation of sword arts will decline increasingly.
The Fubu Seven Swords has been lingering at the level of Renxian Five for a long time, and his confidence is gradually lacking.
That's why he yearned to go to the Creation Battlefield as soon as possible to find his own confidence in sword arts.
Now, without going to the Creation Battlefield, Ding Huan has regained his confidence.
He believes that if he goes to kill Shi Qiqiu again, even if Shi Qiqiu has a breaking space token, he can still defeat him and regain his confidence. He still says he needs to go to the Creation Battlefield to save his teacher. "Okay, but I need to go back to the Blue Star Sect first." Ding Huan also plans to go to the Creation Battlefield.
In the Banquet Hall of the Blue Star Sect.
The Deputy Sect Master Liu Yinzhu is conversing with a green-robed woman.
The green-clad woman's face is filled with worry, while Liu Yinzhu's expression is filled with a hint of helplessness.
The green-robed woman is called Tang You, and her cultivation level is in the late stage of Xiushen Realm.
In terms of cultivation, Liu Yinzhu is a full grade lower than the other party.
Tang You came to seek the master, so Liu Yinzhu cannot help her.
Liu Yinzhu knows that the sect master is in seclusion at Cangjian Mountain. Since the sect master is at Cangjian Mountain, she does not go to Cangjian Mountain for cultivation either.
How could one let an outsider disturb the sect master's cultivation?
"Daughter Liu, please inform the master of the Blue Star Sect, if Master Ding truly does not wish to see me, I will leave immediately." Tang You anxiously stood up.
Although she is well aware that even if she sees Ding Huan at this moment, she may not be able to save Yan sister.
Deep down, she always holds a faint hope that she might still be able to save Yan sister in time.
Liu Yinzhu had a regretful expression on his face and was about to reject when he suddenly heard a voice saying, "What do you want to see me for?"
"Master?" Liu Yinzhu suddenly stood up, his excitement evident.
Ding Huan smiled at Liu Yinzhu:
"Your sect has been flourishing these years, you've done well. I'm leaving the Taoist realm now, and you can go to Cangjian Mountain to retreat and continue to improve your strength if you have time." Ding Huan smiled at Liu Yinzhu.
The spiritual veins under Cangjian Mountain, Ding Huan did not take them away.
"Yes, Master." Liu Yinzhu was overjoyed.
In the Taoist realm, her strength can be considered to be among the top echelon.
Even an Xuanhun Realm practitioner, she would not fear.
Even if a Xushen Realm cultivator wanted to kill her, it wouldn't be an easy task.
If she can continue to cultivate for a while longer at Cangjian Mountain, she might just be able to break through the Star Realm and enter the next level.
The vortex mouth at Cangjian Mountain is an ideal place to cultivate the Great Universe Art, where one can make great progress in just one day.
Moreover, she is well aware that every time the sect master returns from seclusion, there will be an additional portion of cultivation techniques and realms in the Blue Star Sect's sealing scriptures. "This is Fubu Seven Swords, my friend." Ding Huan introduced Fubu Seven Swords to Liu Yinzhu. He knew that Liu Yinzhu was receiving guests because he had arrived through a teleportation array. Before Liu Yinzhu could greet, Tang You rushed forward and bowed respectfully: "Tang You from the Double Swan Pavilion greets Master Ding and Master Fubu."
Liu Yinzhu does not recognize Fubu Seven Swords, but she is all too familiar with the person in front of her. The master of the Lei Yun Dan Workshop, one of the top three in the Ascension Realm's top ten Renxian cultivators. (This is where today's update ends, friends, good night!)
