The ninth thunderbolt rumbled and struck Chu He, and the calamity clouds suddenly dispersed. A rosy cloud floated over, bringing a touch of rosy light.

Chu He only felt that his meridians and skin, which were damaged and cracked by the thunder, were suddenly filled with spiritual energy and gradually regained their elasticity.

The pressure of the early stage of foundation building was revealed, and everyone knew that Chu He Tiandao had successfully built his foundation!

The focus of the discussion within the sect suddenly shifted from Leng Zhuxin, who was in the "ordinary foundation-building" stage, to Chu He, who was in the Heavenly Dao foundation-building stage.

It seemed that everyone had forgotten that Leng Zhuxin was also a genius.

On Changheng Mountain, a man wearing a mask and wrapped tightly in white cloth from head to toe stood beside Shangguan Heng, but he did not ignore Leng Zhuxin because of Chu He's successful foundation building.

In a gloomy and hoarse voice, he asked Shangguan Heng: "Master, I can surpass Leng Zhuxin, right?"

"Yes, you are the darling of heaven, and your future achievements will definitely surpass hers."

Shangguan Heng said this in a decisive tone, but it inexplicably made people feel that it was not convincing. Perhaps this sentence was not only said to Leng Yueyao, but also to himself.

Although Leng Yueyao survived her last injury, the burns all over her body were irreversible, leaving scars all over her body. Even the burns on her head caused the cells to stick together and she could not grow hair.

As a result, Chang Hengshan collected all the mirrors and even filled up the small pond outside the temple that was so clear that it could reflect one's reflection.

Leng Yueyao couldn't accept it at first. She cried all day long looking at her exposed scars, which also affected the healing of her wounds.

Shangguan Heng and Yue Yang finally persuaded him after they were almost impatient.

A white dress that covers her entire body was specially made for her, and the gloves she wore were just enough to cover the scars on her body.

Because her entire face was burned and the veil could not cover it, she made a white jade mask with a lotus carved on it, which only revealed her eyes.

The murderer has never been caught, and Leng Yueyao has developed paranoia. She always feels that all the disciples in the sect might want to kill her, and she doesn't want to face the pointing and criticizing of others because of her damaged appearance.

Therefore, after being injured, he never left Changheng Mountain again, and his daily meals were delivered to him.

Day after day, her hatred for Leng Zhuxin grew stronger and stronger, and now it has become her inner demon.

In the past six months, she had tried several times to draw Qi into her body, and she just succeeded a few days ago.

Their talents were even worse than those of the outer disciples, and Shangguan Heng was constantly making deductions.

Yue Yang and Yang Jun left the sect again to look for rare treasures for Leng Yueyao.

Shangguan Heng stood on the top of Changheng Mountain and looked down the mountain. He just happened to see the rosy clouds floating on the sword peak, and regret welled up in his heart again.

He regretted not accepting Leng Zhuxin and Chu He into Changheng Mountain during the sect election, which gave them to Gu Yanhuai and Wu Xiang for nothing.

It would be a waste of talent for such a talented disciple to not become his disciple.

……

The sect's competition was held as scheduled, and was divided into competitions for disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, and Nascent Soul Stage according to their cultivation levels.

Because after reaching the Golden Core stage, almost all outer sect disciples will be promoted to the inner sect, so the outer sect only has a competition for the Foundation Establishment stage.

It is also called the Outer Sect Competition. Unlike the Inner Sect Competition which is held every three years, the Outer Sect Competition is held every ten years. This year, the Inner and Outer Sect Competitions happen to be held at the same time, so it is called the Sect Competition.

The first place in the outer sect competition will receive the Spirit Cleansing Grass, and the top ten will be able to enter the inner sect for training after the competition.

In addition, the top 50 in the outer sect competition can also participate in the inner sect foundation-building competition and compete for prizes with the inner sect disciples.

Because of this rule, the outer gate competition will start earlier, and the inner gate competition will only begin after the winner is determined.

Any outer disciple who is at the foundation-building stage or above can sign up to participate in the outer disciple competition. Since it is held every ten years, there are a large number of people who sign up for each competition. Among them, there are many disciples who have reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage through hard work or chance.

In every session, inner disciples have been defeated by outer disciples.

So on the day the competition started, Gu Wangchen brought Leng Zhuxin to the Qingxuan Sect Square early in the morning.

A fighting arena has been set up in the square, and tiers of seats have been arranged.

As the sect leader, Gu Yanhuai naturally sat on the high platform reserved for the sect leader and elders. Gu Wangchen and Leng Zhuxin sat in the area for direct disciples, and on their left were Chu He and Tang Xiuhe from Jianfeng.

Next to her on the right is Danfeng Chen Wei.

Chen Wei's cultivation level is still the initial stage of foundation building, just like half a year ago, but her spiritual power has become much more condensed. She only needs an opportunity to break through to the middle stage of foundation building. This time, she has also signed up for the competition and is cracking the spiritual sunflower seeds she bought from the market at the foot of the mountain.

He was also very generous and took out two large bags of spiritual sunflower seeds from the space and gave them to Leng Zhuxin and Chu He.

"This is a new product from the market down the mountain, stir-fried sunflower seeds. It has a snow tea flavor and is unique and won't cause a sore throat. You should all try it."

Gu Wangchen grabbed a handful of spiritual sunflower seeds from the bag held by Chen Wei, picked up one with his other hand and put it in his mouth. He cracked it open with his teeth with a crunch, and praised with a smile, "It tastes good. Junior Sister Chen really knows how to eat it."

"Of course. There's nothing delicious in our Qingxuan Sect's market that I don't know about. After the sect competition is over, Xinxin, I'll take you to the market to eat Lingru yogurt. It's icy cold and sprinkled with dried fruits, and it's very refreshing and delicious.

There are many people selling spiritual herbs and animals in the market, and you might be able to pick up something good.

"Hey? Who's that person next to Chang Heng Xian Zun? Why is he dressed so strangely? And why is he staring at us?"

As Chen Wei was speaking, she noticed a gloomy gaze falling on them. She frowned and looked over to meet the gaze, then asked in confusion.
