Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 186
Chapter 186 Demon Subduing Array
The two of them did not stop for too long. It was almost time. They hurried to Xuan Wang Feng as soon as possible. Each time, the competition would last for three days. After three days, the championship would be decided.
During these three days, apart from resting, they spent most of their time at King Xuan Peak.
Ye Feng’s body suddenly lightened. He felt like he was flying in the air and was lifted up by Yang Hua. This was the first time Ye Feng did not use the Angel Wings to fly. He looked at the mountains beneath his feet and retreated one by one. It was completely different from the feeling of flying with the Angel Wings.
Soon, a huge mountain appeared in the distance. However, the peak was gone. It was as if it had been cut off by someone. Only half of the mountain was left. The place where it was cut off was as smooth as a mirror. It was ten thousand feet in size and could fuse with tens of thousands of people. At this moment, the heads of the people moved and a large number of figures appeared on it.
Various mountain peaks overlapped and surrounded King Xuan Peak, creating many wonders. This was the largest mountain peak that Ye Feng had seen since he entered the Divine Martial Continent.
This was not the final goal. Who exactly had the ability to cut the mountain peak to pieces and grind it into such a large square? This was simply a miracle. Ye Feng was stunned by the scene in front of him.
“Are you wondering why Wang Xuan Feng was cut off by someone!”
Seeing Ye Feng clicking his tongue, Yang Hua asked Ye Feng at this time.
“Yes!”
Ye Feng nodded. He was truly shocked. The scene in front of him gave Ye Feng too much visual impact.
“This is the masterpiece of the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy. He used one person’s strength to cut off King Xuan Peak. Do you see that mountain?”
With that, Yang Hua pointed his finger to the right. A mountain peak that looked like a fierce tiger was lying there. It was lifelike. From afar, it looked like a sleeping beast that could awaken at any time. Its eyes were right on Xuan Wang Feng.
“Is this the peak of Xuan Wang Feng that was cut off?”
Ye Feng asked doubtfully. This mountain peak that looked like a ferocious beast was several hundred zhang tall, even taller than the Himalayas in his previous life.
“That’s right, this is the peak of King Xuan Peak!”
Yang Hua said confidently.
“Take a closer look. What’s different about the surroundings?”
Yang Hua didn’t descend in a hurry and continued to ask.
Ye Feng could only look around. This time, he discovered that the surrounding mountains were scattered, as if they were intentionally planted here. Every mountain peak could correspond to King Xuan Peak. What was going on? Ye Feng looked towards Yang Hua.
“This is the Demon Subduing Array, passed down from ancient times, Using mountain peaks to set up formations, If the academy were to suffer a catastrophe, All disciples can take refuge on King Xuan Peak, As long as the Demon Subduing Array was activated, None of the demons could attack, “The peak of the Prince Xuan Peak that was cut off was the center. Once the formation was activated, it would transform into an ancient Qilin divine beast. Back then, the founding ancestor caught a Fire Qilin and sealed it here. Once the formation was activated, it would activate and protect the Heavenly Spiritual Academy. This was also the reason why the academy had stood in the Southern Divine Continent for tens of thousands of years and was still inherited endlessly.”
Yang Hua actually told Ye Feng about this. Although it wasn’t a secret, it was obvious that Yang Hua attached great importance to Ye Feng when a Hall Master personally told an inner disciple about this.
Ye Feng also felt that it was inconceivable. He was quite unfamiliar with formations. However, some simple formations still had some understanding. They were just using some terrain or spirit stones to set up some formations. However, moving mountains to set up formations was simply unheard of in such a large area. This was the first time he had seen them.
The two of them quickly landed on King Xuan Peak. The huge peak was divided into dozens of areas. There were viewing areas, entrances to various halls, and invited guests. Each area was several thousand square meters in size and was very spacious.
Previously, those people had already arrived. Ye Feng quickly landed in the crowd. The area of the courtyard of Xuan was at the edge of the right side, not very far ahead. Even if he was watching the duel, his line of sight was limited.
The best area was in the middle. One could clearly see the arena in the middle. More than a hundred arenas stood neatly in the middle. The viewing area was the best. It was basically in the middle. That was where the upper echelons of the academy landed.
‘”You all understand the rules of the duel. I’ll leave it to you. If you get injured in the duel, there will be a mentor to help you heal. If you get seriously injured, give up on your own initiative. Don’t try to be brave. Do you understand?”
Yang Hua looked at the two hundred people and instructed again.
“Understood!”
After saying that, Yang Hua led the five mentors to the middle area and became spectators. He left the five mentors to take care of the disciples. Once someone was injured, the mentors would be able to play a role.
In succession, a large number of people rushed over. It was only a cup of tea time. Ninety percent of the square was filled with people, and most of them were disciples who came to watch.
After waiting for another cup of tea, a large group of people suddenly appeared in the air. A dense and terrifying aura began to descend. These were the upper echelons of the academy, not some of the elders, the academy masters at the entrances, and the experts invited over.
Every time the academy compet. I.tion was held, it would invite some powerful experts from a radius of 10,000 kilometers. After these people landed, the terrifying aura slowly disappeared.
Unknowingly, Ye Feng felt a large chunk of his back wet. Looking at the others, his face was filled with shock. There were even people whose legs were still trembling. One could imagine how terrifying the momentum released by these experts just now was.
“Look, the Holy Virgin Red Moon from the Horizon Sea Pavilion is also here!”
Some of the disciples closest to the viewing area were able to see the figures on the high platform at a glance. Very quickly, someone cried out in alarm.
“That’s right, that’s right. If I can win Miss Hong Yue’s favor, I won’t live in vain in this lifetime!”
A disciple sighed with emotion. It seemed that their understanding of Red Moon was far better than Ye Feng’s. Although Ye Feng had seen Red Moon twice, he did not understand Red Moon at all. He only knew that he was the boss behind the scenes of Horizon Sea Pavilion. As for the rest, he really did not know.
“What a grand occasion. Sect Leader Bing of Mo Mountain Sect, Sect Leader Red of Blood Hand Sect, Fort Huo of Flag Cloud Fort, and Sect Leader Ximen of Deep Sea Pavilion have all come.”
Quite a few disciples began to discuss. The sudden arrival of these people seemed to have increased the spectacle of the duel. Many disciples would definitely have to show off fiercely to add luster and glory to the academy.
There were also many experts sitting behind. These disciples were unable to see their faces clearly and their divine sense could not penetrate. They could only guess that some powerful forces within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers were invited to participate in the inner sect competition of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy.
Although the academy had the largest number of inner disciples, they were also the batch that the academy valued the most. They were echelons, and only more inner disciples could continuously send talents to the core. As for direct disciples, none of them were one in ten thousand, and each of them was a dragon and phoenix amongst men.
Therefore, the academy attaches great importance to every inner sect competition. Select good elite disciples and cultivate them. In the future, there is a great chance of becoming core disciples. Even direct disciples can be considered as a test to see if the academy has deteriorated in the past two years.
Ye Feng’s divine sense was like mercury, slowly seeping into the middle region. Ordinary Xiantian divine sense could only release about a thousand meters.
However, Ye Feng’s divine sense could emit several thousand meters. Although it was several kilometers away from the middle region, Ye Feng still wanted to try.
After extracting the last bit of divine sense, Ye Feng finally approached the middle platform. However, when his divine sense was about to approach, an invisible restriction appeared, bouncing back Ye Feng’s divine sense and preventing him from entering.
“What a powerful restriction! My divine sense is actually unable to see through it!”
Ye Feng hurriedly withdrew his divine sense and said in a shocked tone.
When Ye Feng withdrew his divine sense, several gazes swept towards Ye Feng, as if he had noticed someone peeping at him just now.
The middle region could not be seen clearly. Ye Feng looked at the other regions. On his right was the Martial Arch Academy, on his left was the Arhat Hall, and the Heavenly Star Academy was in the middle. As for the Middle Heaven disciples, their positions were the best. In the middle, they could be seen clearly from all directions.
On the other hand, the other side was reserved for those who could not participate in the competition. They were also divided into several areas, namely, the inner disciple area, the core disciple area, and the direct disciple area.
Ye Feng looked towards the direct disciple area. There weren’t many people. There were about a hundred people, occupying such a large open space. They were basically all alone. There were also two or three people gathered together. They were very few.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the sun rose at three o’clock and everything was ready. The contest was just about to begin. Thirteen lot cages were sent over and placed in front of the thirteen entrances to the contest.
No one knew how many numbers were inside the lot cage. They were all random. There was even the possibility of drawing disciples from the entrance of their own hall. They could only admit that they were unlucky.
However, Ye Feng did not believe that there was definitely something fishy inside. If the eldest senior apprentice-brothers of the various hall entrances met in the first round, wouldn’t they be eliminated in the first round?
A figure slowly walked out from the high platform in the middle area. His footsteps were high in the air, and his body floated in the air. He swept his gaze, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, suppressing the noisy sounds in the surroundings.
Everyone shut their mouths. It was most likely the person in charge of the competition. The surroundings instantly quieted down, and the needles could almost be heard.
“The biennial inner sect competition is about to begin again. My name is Daoist Primordius, an elder of the academy. I will host this inner sect competition.”
This elder announced his identity first, but many people still cried out in alarm.
Within the academy, there were ten elders, second only to Grand Elders. The first ranked elder was Elder Kun Dong. Even the academy head was very polite when he saw him.
This Primordial Chaos Daoist was ranked second. Rumors had it that he had made his debut halfway through the road. In the past, he was a mountain bandit. A coincidental opportunity to enter the path of cultivation. From then on, he became uncontrollable. He never expected that his talent in cultivation would be extremely high. In the end, he joined the Heavenly Spiritual Academy and devoted himself to the Dao. Only then did he have the prestige of today.
Some disciples began to talk about Primordial Chaos Daoist’s past. Ye Feng also sighed endlessly. He was able to cultivate halfway. At this level, Primordial Chaos Daoist was truly formidable.
“You guys already understand the rules. I won’t explain them one by one. Now, the competition will begin. Those who draw number one will enter arena number one, while those who draw number two will enter arena number two. By analogy, only a hundred arenas can be opened at a time. Those ranked lower can only wait until the second round.”
Priest Primordius announced the start of the competition.
