Floating Immortal Order

Chapter 86: Falling Snow Peak

Chapter 86: Falling Snow Peak

Lu Changge was someone who usually cared a lot about appearances. Shi Jiayu provoking him in a loud voice so that everyone nearby could hear him was making him lose a lot of face as a Peak Master. He wanted to open his mouth to retort, but he couldn’t come up with anything.

As a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse, his face began turning red with anger. But in the end he didn’t say anything and simply glared coldly at Shi Jiayu.

Shi Jiayu understood the concept that going too far was just as bad as not doing enough. After the peals of gossip and laughter beside him subsided, he turned away and never spared another glance in their direction.

It wasn’t that early Sea of Qi stage disciples wouldn’t participate in the tournament, but there were extremely few. Even if there were a few, the ones who participated were pretty much all talented geniuses who were ranked at the top of their Peaks or the descendents of Spirit Masters.

As such, it was normal for an ordinary early Sea of Qi stage disciple like Xu Disheng to be scorned and looked down upon. It was because of him that Shi Jiayu could find a sore spot to poke fun at Lu Changge. It wasn’t like he necessarily cared about Xu Disheng.

Lu Changge turned to the side and asked Bai Honghua, “Is this disciple under you? Why are you letting him participate in the tournament at the early Sea of Qi stage?”

Xu Disheng was only a disciple at the early Sea of Qi stage, so he couldn’t be held personally accountable for participating. Lu Changge only asked this because he had seen Bai Honghua, the young man in purple, speaking to Xu Disheng.

Bai Honghua turned his gaze towards Xu Disheng. After hesitating for a moment, he replied, “Respected Peak Master, this child’s strength and wisdom are indeed above average. It shouldn’t be too big of a problem for him to reach the top 10,000.”

In the end, he still chose to help Xu Disheng by bragging for him a little bit. After all, many people had seen him speaking to Xu Disheng earlier. If he chose to disparage Xu Disheng here, it would only make himself seem harsh and merciless.

As for Xu Disheng’s strength and wisdom, Bai Honghua only had a rough understanding. He had heard most of the information about him from Bai Zhehua. He loved to pamper his only son, so he handed down the Frozen Spirit Sword as a reward to make him happy. In this situation, it was better for him to respond to the Peak Master’s question by bragging a little bit about Xu Disheng. If Xu Disheng managed to get lucky and place in the top 10,000, he would be able to earn himself a bit of reputation as someone with good knowledge and insight. Even if he didn’t reach the top 10,000, it wouldn’t be that big of a loss to him either.

Plus, that old bastard Jia Shiyu was provoking Lu Changge over this matter in front of everybody else. If Bai Honghua had stopped Xu Disheng from participating, it would be an even bigger loss of face.

There were several hundred massive white circles of light on the Green Lotus Domain. Several tens of thousands of disciples were crowded within, making for a very bustling scene.

Suddenly, a deafening boom resounded in the clouds above Mingxin Peak, and a massive turtle emerged from amidst the fog and mist. On the back of the turtle, there were several luxurious chariots occupied by several Spirit Masters. The massive turtle stopped, hovering in the air above the Green Lotus Domain. Clouds and mist seemed to emerge from its body in a mystical manner.

“We pay our respects to the esteemed Spirit Masters.” Regardless of whether they were Peak Masters or Deacons, every person at the Dao Foundation stage rose to their feet and paid their respects in unison. The Sea of Qi stage disciples all bowed deeply, showing their utmost respects.

The Killing Heart Spirit Master, Yu Xingchao, was the Peak Master of the rank 17 Peak, Profound Heart Peak, but he also belonged to the few Spirit Masters who held true authority in the Mingxin Mountain Range.

On his impressive chariot, Yu Xingchao slowly got to his feet and spoke, his voice spreading out across the Green Lotus Domain. “The first match of the Internal Disciple Tournament of the Shangqing Sacred Sect’s Mingxin Mountain Range will take place in the Mirror Ocean.”

With a light flick of his sleeves, a stream of brilliant azure light swirled along with the wind and flew down from the body of the massive turtle down to the Green Lotus Domain, turning into a gigantic, luminous blue light gate that was over 300 meters tall.

Lu Changge turned and addressed everyone from Morning Dew Peak, “All disciples who are participating in the tournament, hurry and go in.”

The blue gate of light was over 300 meters tall. Countless disciples on all kinds of flying-type Spirit Tools began charging straight into the portal like a dense flock of birds.

Next to the massive gate of light, there were two light screens of equivalent height with words clearly visible upon them.

“Dao Foundation Division, First Match Ranking. First place… Second place…”

“Sea of Qi Division, First Match Ranking. First place… Second place…”

The light screens were a vertical display of the rankings, showing the top 100 for the Dao Foundation division and the top 10,000 for the Sea of Qi division.

The rest of the rankings were empty since the first match clearly hadn’t even started yet.

In the Mirror Ocean…

Xu Disheng slowly drifted down from the blue vortex in the middle of the air, landing on his feet upon the glossy surface of the mirror. All around him, there were Sea of Qi stage disciples. There weren’t any Dao Foundation stage disciples in sight, presumably because their first match was being held in a different area.

The mirror beneath his feet was clear, glossy, and reflective. There were several tens of thousands of small wooden boats not far away, floating about 10 meters above the surface of the mirror ocean.

After he entered the blue gate of light on his black Spirit Cloud, it disappeared before he knew it. He tried to open his storage pouch and take things out, but as expected, it was sealed shut by an invisible force and simply couldn’t be opened at all.

“After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, set out for the opposite shore of the Mirror Ocean,” an indifferent voice rang out from the sky.

A huge phantom image of an incense stick slowly appeared, towering in front of tens of thousands of boats.

The wave of countless disciples began to move towards the wooden boats.

Xu Disheng also picked out a wooden boat. When he tried pouring profound qi into it, he found that the wooden boat was both compact and agile. It was very dexterous and quick on both ascending and accelerating.

When he tried putting in a large amount of profound qi, the wooden boat shot forward like an arrow, making a swishing sound as it cut through the air.

With this long, long road ahead that stretched on for 10,000 li, it was clear that those who had plenty of medicinal pills would have an overwhelming advantage. Those that could afford to buy medicinal pills could naturally restore their profound qi quicker. Those that couldn’t afford to buy medicinal pills could only wait for their profound qi to slowly recover after it was exhausted. By that point, who knew how long it would take them to reach the other side of the shore.

The phantom image of the burning incense stick was gradually approaching its end.

There were disciples who found it beneath themselves to use the wooden boats. They just took out golden swords of light and got on top of them. The moment the incense stick finally burnt out, beams of golden light streaked across the sky as they shot off.

There were also disciples who took our withered old branches, which they would throw into the air. The withered branches would rise up with the wind and turn into massive tree trunks, carrying the disciples as they whizzed through the air.

In a similar manner, there were around 40 to 50 people who took out various Magical Treasures and shot off ahead, leaving everyone in the dust.

The Sea of Qi stage disciples who had Magic Treasures could directly store them in their sea of consciousness, so they wouldn’t be affected by the restriction on storage-type Spirit Tools.

Xu Disheng was like the overwhelming majority of people, who had to pour profound qi into the wooden boats. He rushed out alongside everyone else, much slower than those people who had Magic Treasures.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use his Magic Treasure, but the Glorious Sun Bow in his sea of consciousness was the most ordinary of Magic Treasures, valued at only a little over 1,000 spirit stones. Plus, the bow was mainly focused on slaughter. It was one of the very few Magic Treasures that didn’t have any flight capabilities, so he couldn’t use it to take a shortcut here.
