Ball Ball Cultivation

Qiuqiu didn't really recognize the rest of them. The easiest one to spot was a young, handsome monk with a warm face. But the surrounding discussions drifted into Qiuqiu's ears from time to time. They were all discussing who was the head of the Nangong family, and how the wife of the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance had defeated a few concubines...

Listening to these gossips that can quickly increase knowledge, Qiuqiu looked for Bai Yi and the others in the viewing area. She went back and forth several times but found nothing. She couldn't help feeling disappointed. She just heard that the White Tiger Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan would participate in the Mount Everest Conference, so she thought the children would come. But she knew in her heart that when the cubs of the divine beasts returned to the tribe, it was an important stage to supplement their foundation and learn common knowledge about the divine beasts.

Besides, they were the most precious cubs in their tribe, so why would they show up at such a gathering? The children were truly training in secret, otherwise they wouldn't even communicate with me once every few months.

Qiuqiu didn't know whether it was just these monthly communications, or the opportunity to be rewarded after Xuanchen and Xuanshen trained for months and met the elders' requirements. These elders, who had lived for who knows how long, had noticed and capitalized on their cubs' longing for their mothers, intensifying their training and using the opportunity to talk to Qiuqiu as a reward. This was to improve the cubs' fighting power and endurance, maximizing their potential, with remarkable results. As for Baiyi and Baier, they were training in secrecy within their family's secret realm, completely isolated from the outside world.

At the central viewing platform, representatives of many forces finished their greetings. This time, the host was the president of the Mercenary Guild, a middle-aged male cultivator with a resolute face. He simply made an opening speech and announced the start of the competition. As for the rules of the competition, there were special personnel to explain them. In fact, it was very simple. It did not matter whether one lived or died. However, as long as one admitted defeat in time, the arena barrier would automatically eject the loser from the stage. Therefore, there were rarely major casualties unless they met a mortal enemy.

After the competition started, the first was the Qi training stage competition, with more than 100,000 participants. The rules of the competition were very simple, that is, all the arenas were opened, and these hundreds of thousands of people were divided into hundreds of fighting arenas according to random numbers for a melee. From Qiuqiu's current Yuanying stage perspective, it was just a fight between weaklings. Finally, there were only ten people left on each fighting arena, and the fighting arena formation was opened. This was also the preliminary selection round. The melee ended after half a day, and the ten people still standing on the fighting arena entered the next round. The arena competition would be held three days later.

What followed was a big melee among the foundation-building cultivators. This was quite interesting. Many cultivators who had reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage had developed their own combat skills, and the result was not determined until two days of melee.

Then the Qi-cultivating cultivators began to compete in pairs, and the winners advanced. At first, Qiuqiu took the two little ones to watch, but later he became more and more bored, so he and his grandfather went to discuss alchemy with the president of the Alchemy Guild, and they often got inspiration. As for Qingheng, he has always been a wet dad. If there is a discussion meeting that needs to be attended, he will leave the two little ones with the clan leader Qingling. Now the top leaders of the entire cultivation world have seen how the dragon clan pampers their cubs. They take them wherever they go and will never let them out of their sight.

Furthermore, they would seize any glittering treasures they saw; these dragons were truly greedy and overbearing by nature. As for the cubs' appearance and aura, none of them could discern them. This was a restriction placed by Qing Heng himself, and only those with a higher cultivation level than Qing Heng could discern the two cubs' condition.

A month later, the Qi training competition finally concluded. The top 100 all received prizes, but the top 10 received different prizes. The first-place prize was a low-grade flying sword imbued with spiritual energy, its attributes matching the winner's. Forty percent of the top 100 were independent cultivators, but the top 10 didn't have a single independent cultivator.

This shows that independent cultivators can hone their resilience and improve their combat effectiveness, and are generally stronger than those greenhouse flowers, but they lack a comprehensive and solid foundation and it is difficult for them to produce high-end combat power.

It's no surprise that the first place is a sword cultivator from Taixu Sect. He has already cultivated the sword intent at a young age and is one of the precious disciples protected by the sect this time.

Next up was the Foundation Establishment stage competition. After three days of careful observation, Qiuqiu learned a lot about combat techniques and precautions, and decided to return for the final three days to learn more. During this time, he discussed formations with his new friend, Gong Zhen, the president of the Formation Guild. They covered everything from the basics to advanced techniques, from simple spirit gathering formations to complex composite formations, and even various sets of formations and parent-child formations.

They debated, discussed, and practiced constantly. One was a seventh-level formation master with extensive experience and knowledge, while the other was a pseudo-seventh-level formation master with excellent talent and a broad mind, who had just mastered a seventh-level formation. This discussion lasted for more than a month. In the end, Qingheng came with two little kids looking for their mother. Seeing Qiuqiu, who looked slovenly but had a bright look in his eyes, he ignored the old man Gong Zhen's anger at being interrupted and asked, "The final Foundation Establishment competition is about to begin. Aren't you going to watch it?"

Qiuqiu also came back to his senses from this intense brain activity and felt a little dizzy. He said goodbye to Gong Zhen and his group of formation enthusiasts, went back to take the Soul-Nourishing Pill and the Heart-Clearing Pill, took a short rest, and then the family of four went to watch the game.

Qiuqiu has always stayed away from the mainstream cultivation world and has been a casual cultivator. Until now, he lacks a lot of common sense. He has to figure out the use of spiritual energy and the coordination and restraint of various spells by himself. He can't see much of those in the Qi training stage. Now he is watching the foundation building stage decisive battle, with Qingheng next to him to help explain, and he has gained a lot.

The earth thorns and water spells formed a swamp to trap the enemy, and there were vines growing downwards stimulated by the entanglement spell. Finally, a quicksand spell was used to easily send the enemy off the stage. This cultivator with many spiritual roots really taught Qiuqiu a lesson. She had been slashing with a sword all the time. Not to mention tactics, Qiuqiu relied on the massive accumulation of spiritual energy to fight hard in all battles. If she hadn't been lucky, she would have lost her life several times.

Next, let's look at the next more exciting match. The female cultivator is actually a dual practitioner of sword and formation. Every time she swings the sword to attack, a rhythm is formed. After a few sword strikes, a formation is formed. After the opponent is trapped, the sword energy approaches, and a new formation is formed while she is strolling in the garden. Although these formations are all low-level formations of the first and second levels, it can be seen that they have formed their own fighting style. These foundation-building cultivators who have reached the finals have formed their own fighting style, are powerful, have weapons that suit them, and most of them have their own natal magic weapons, so challenging opponents of higher levels is no problem.

Three days of watching the battle passed in the blink of an eye. Qiuqiu learned a lot and urgently needed a battle to put what he had learned into practice. Qingheng did not refuse and took Qiuqiu to a large open space on the hillside of Mount Everest. Qiuqiu lowered his cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment Stage and engaged in a fierce battle with Qingheng, who was also at the Foundation Establishment Stage. As for the two little guys, they set up a protective formation and put snacks in it to ensure that they would behave well during the whole day.
