Junior sister took first place again

The roar of three ancient bronze bells crushed the clouds, and the blood-red rays of light soaked the three thousand sword-testing platforms.

The Supervisory Elder's crane cloak fluttered, and the golden scroll in his hand unfolded a golden light three feet high in the wind. His deep voice rolled through everyone's ears like thunder: "The second test is over, and six teams have advanced."

"The Xuanling Sect has the highest total points from three rounds, followed by the Xingchen Sect and the Changxing Sect..."

Every time the elder called out a name, dragon-scale-like cracks would appear on the bluestone floor tiles in the corresponding direction.

"The Mengxi Liu family, the Tianhe Yun family, and the Hehuan Palace are the queens!"

The thousand-year-old peach forest in the southeast corner suddenly exploded into crimson mist and rain, and seven red silk ribbons broke through the air. The disciples of the Hehuan Palace dropped flying flowers with their bare feet, and the silver bells on their ankles resonated with the sword sounds of various sects, producing the sound of killing.

When the bronze star disk rose from the twenty-eight constellations, Mu Zhao's sword suddenly flew three inches out of its sheath.

He pressed the hilt of the sword with his backhand, but saw that the shadows of the six sects' disciples were being twisted into ink-colored silk ribbons by the star disk, outlining a blood-red Big Dipper on the disk.

"Form a formation and activate the Heavenly Plane!"

The six teams were assembled, and the Supervisory Elder Guangxiu waved out six jade beads.

The twins from the Tianhe Yun Clan were the first to crush the green bricks at the center of the formation. The silver halberds "Jinglan" and "Suiyue" crossed and pierced into the grooves of the star disk. Sparks from the halberd blades splashed on Mu Zhao's black clothes: "Power of Heaven belongs to the Yun Clan!"

The leaders of each faction turned their palms to receive the jades, and the moment the six jade beads were embedded in the center of the star disk, the Seven Killing Star Pattern suddenly grew three meters long.

The shadow of the blood-red battle flag unfolded in the bloody wind, and the gilded ancient seal character "夺" on the flag made the thousands of miles of sea of ​​clouds look like they were soaked in blood.

The Supervisory Elder brushed his finger across the flag and said, "Tomorrow at noon, the battle for the Seven Stars Flag will begin!"

The Seven Killing Blood Flags on the star map had not yet dissipated, and six bronze edicts had already broken through the air from the directions of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

Everyone looked up and saw the imperial edict hovering three feet above each team. The slowly unrolling scroll was filled with gilded rules:

Tianshu Law: Zhenyuan Locking Spirit

The blue bricks beneath Ning Jiasheng's feet suddenly transformed into a Bagua formation, and seventy-two bronze chains emerged from the earth and wrapped around her ankles. She tried to lift her foot, and the tadpole-shaped spells on the chains immediately flowed into her meridians.

The Supervisory Elder's voice came from the clouds: "The Zhenyuan Lock fluctuates according to the realm - if the leaders of the Xuanling Sect and the Changxing Sect use their Nascent Soul cultivation, the chain will wrap around their feet, and the length of time they are imprisoned is determined by the will of heaven."

Tianxuan Law: Lingshu Guiding the Way

The foundation-building disciples from Xingchen Sect and Hehuan Palace who were serving as auxiliary practitioners were surrounded by moonlight, and half of a Yin-Yang fish jade pendant appeared between their eyebrows.

The red-dressed girl from the Hehuan Palace lightly touched the jade pendant, and the poisonous swamp on a sword-testing platform in the southwest suddenly became clearly visible in everyone's consciousness.

"Foundation-building disciples holding the Lingshu pendant can see the flow of the five elements, but they will fall into a nightmare at the hour of Yin every day."

The golden characters on the edict transformed into flying birds, snatching away three strands of their hair. "If the pendant is broken, you will be eliminated, and your clan's points will be cut in half. Be careful."

Tianji Law·Potential Balance Method

The ground shook and six bronze tablets rose up, the inscriptions on the tablets changing with the number of people in each sect.

The Mengxi Liu Clan, the Tianhe Yun Clan, and the Hehuan Palace are all teams of seven people. When they trigger the Tiangang Formation, a ground-sinking thunderstorm will be randomly triggered when they move, but black iron will be dropped when killing monsters.

The Xuanling Sect is a team of six people. Every three hours, one person is randomly selected as the "eye of the formation". Elimination causes the spiritual power of the entire team to be disrupted.

Xingchen Sect and Changxing Sect are teams of five. Activate the Five Elements Escape: the chance of encountering monsters along the way is reduced by 30%.

Tianquan Law: Seven Star Tribulation

A bronze compass flew out of the elder's sleeve, and miasma surged where the needle pointed. "The competition begins. Poisonous miasma is engulfing the Forbidden Realm from the periphery, advancing thirty miles every hour. Bone-eating ghost soldiers roam within the miasma. Each sect must initially carry three poison-repelling pills—"

He paused deliberately, "Of course, the elixir's aura will attract a swarm of soul-devouring demonic bats."

Yuheng Law: Cause and Effect Chain

Ice suddenly formed on the wrists of the Yun twins. "The bond between brothers transformed into a heart lock. Each person's vitality was reduced by 30%, and it would immediately turn against the brother."

Kaiyang Law: Thousand Changes

An ancient bronze mirror flew out from the sleeve of the Supervisory Elder. Wherever the mirror's light passed, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers collapsed.

The earth veins twisted and reorganized like a living snake, eventually condensing into a circular desolate area - a solitary peak stood tall in the center, the Xuantian flag on the peak fluttered, and the nine golden patterns on the flag flowed like a lock.

"Tomorrow at noon, you will randomly fall into dangerous places such as poisonous swamps and sword tombs."

The star disk began to rotate in reverse, and the Seven Killing Blood Flags fluttered in the strong wind. "Anyone who fails to reach the central peak within thirty-six days will be deemed to have forfeited!"

Yaoguang Law: Asking the Heart

When the last golden light sank into the earth veins, glass lamps appeared on the hearts of all the contestants.

"If the life lamp goes out, you are out."

The elder's shadow flickered in the clouds, and a solemn warning echoed from the sky, "If you resort to evil ways such as killing, possessing bodies, etc., the Life Lamp will burn away your hundred years of cultivation."

The surroundings were completely silent. Ning Jiasheng and the other contestants all bowed in a solemn manner, "Disciple, please remember this."

Amidst the lingering echoes of everyone's unanimous response, the Supervisory Elder waved his sleeves to eliminate all the strange phenomena in the sky: "The competition ends when the flag is successfully pulled down. The team that finally pulls down the flag will be ranked first in this sect team competition. The rest will be ranked according to their points in this match."

As if to lighten the mood, a soft laugh echoed from the clouds. "A group battle is the best test of a sect's character and strength. I wish you all a successful start."
