Half a day later, the elite exchange meeting officially ended.
The Natural Dao Palace won the championship in martial arts, as well as the first place in four items of formation, alchemy and puppetry.
The good results are the best in history, which made Zhongli Zhili smile from ear to ear.
He looked at Xu Jun with a look of satisfaction that could not be more satisfied. However, occasionally, he would still sigh and shake his head slightly.
Xu Jun was a little bit tired of him, so he asked: "Dean, are you dissatisfied with anything?"
Seven items of literary competition and one item of martial arts, half of the eight first places were taken, what else do you want?
Zhongli Zhili sighed: "I am very satisfied with the results, but our people did not break through."
"Breakthrough?"
"Yes, you helped Ni Lilan of Baibing Dao Palace and Peng Zhenlin of Qixing Dao Palace to break through, but you didn't help your own people, hey..."
Xu Jun's face was a little dark. Although he knew that Dean Zhongli's words were more of a joke, he felt a little ashamed in his heart.
Yes, his own people were not able to benefit from him, but outsiders broke through one after another. It was not good no matter how you looked at it.
"Student Xu Jun, it's your turn to go up and receive the award."
Xu Jun was startled, and then he remembered that his name seemed to have been called on the podium just now.
Zhongli Zhili hurriedly said: "Go, this time you are elected as the first in the three palaces, and you deserve it."
Everyone who wins the championship will receive a reward. In addition, one of the eight first places will be awarded the title of the first in the three palaces.
Normally, this title is generally awarded to the first in martial arts. But there are exceptions, such as Ni Lilan. If she won the first place in the formation and arranged a third-level formation, then she would be a strong contender for the first in the three palaces.
But unfortunately, she met Xu Jun, so there is no need to mention everything.
Xu Jun flashed and walked onto the podium.
The award was presented by Master Teng Keli. He held a stone in his hand and said, "Xu Jun, congratulations on winning the first place in the three palaces."
Xu Jun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master."
"This is the Gangfeng Stone from Fengshan Blessed Land, a second-level top-level treasure. It can be used to comprehend the power of the wind system or forge wind-based magic weapons." Teng Keli said slowly, "Moreover, this may be a rare treasure. You can take it as a souvenir."
Xu Jun thanked him and took it, and left the rostrum amid the applause of the crowd.
The Gangfeng Stone in his hand was just a piece of stone, but when he held it in his hand, Xu Jun could feel the surging wind energy contained in it.
Back to Zhongli Zhili, the old dean glanced at it and said, "The Gangfeng Stone from Fengshan Blessed Land... Oh, what a pity."
Xu Jun was startled and said, "What?"
"Fengshan Blessed Land is a second-level blessed land controlled by Baibing Dao Palace. The special Gangfeng Stone inside is one of the best second-level treasures of the wind system. But unfortunately, this blessed land will no longer belong to our human race."
"Why?"
"Because of the war between us and the demon race."
Xu Jun wanted to ask more, but Zhongli Zhili waved his hand and turned his attention back to the podium. He just said casually: "Xu Jun, after you go back, practice more with your seniors and let them break through."
Xu Jun's face darkened. This is... endless, right?
He glanced at the Gangfeng Stone in his hand.
Don't you want to break through? Then I'll show you.
Xu Jun held the Gangfeng Stone, sat cross-legged, and his mind sank into his body orifices.
In his 324 body orifices, there is actually an extremely powerful force hidden.
The true meaning of wind!
That day, in order not to shock the world, Xu Jun tried not to release it, but he succeeded.
Now, he was annoyed by the breakthrough of Dean Zhongli. Then he would use
it to break through!
Anyway, he had many trump cards. Even if he used up the wind, he still had the four true meanings of gold, wood, fire and earth waiting in line.
As his mind turned, wisps of unusual wind were released from his body little
by little. Zhongli Zhili, who was closest to Xu Jun, was the first to notice the abnormality.
He turned his head to look at Xu Jun, and saw Xu Jun holding the Gangfeng Stone in his hand, and then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
On Xu Jun's body, wisps of breeze rippled, as if circling around Xu Jun's body.
Zhongli Zhili laughed in his heart.
Young people are impatient. They couldn't wait to start to comprehend after just getting the Gangfeng Stone.
Didn't you see that the big guys of Baibing Dao Palace were still speaking on the stage? You should give them some face.
Shaking his head, Zhongli Zhili did not interrupt Xu Jun's perception.
We are body cultivators, and we all have pure hearts, so it's understandable.
But I have to find a way to cover it up for him... Hey, what's going on?
Zhongli Zhili suddenly found that the wind around Xu Jun seemed to be a little stronger than before. Moreover, there seemed to be something unusual in this wind.
On the high platform, Teng Keli was speaking passionately. After explaining the ten thousand years of friendship between the three major Taoist palaces, his voice began to become stern.
He wanted to use the achievements of the Natural Taoist Palace and the Seven Star Taoist Palace on this occasion to suppress the arrogance of the Hundred Weapons Taoist Palace. He
wanted to let them know that there are people who are better than the heavens, and let these guys practice hard and strive to regain the lost glory in the next elite exchange meeting.
However, just when he was talking about it, he suddenly felt a mysterious power boiling up from somewhere.
Teng Keli stopped immediately and turned to look at that place.
Not only that, Shu Huijin of the Seven Star Taoist Palace was also like this.
The actions of the three Jindan Zhenren immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked towards that place at the same time.
Then, they saw that Zhongli Zhili had stood up and was standing beside Xu Jun who was sitting cross-legged. His expression was a little strange, a little surprised, a little happy, but also a little... accustomed.
Teng Keli didn't care about hosting the closing ceremony. He flashed and came to the side of his old rival.
"What's going on?"
Zhongli Zhili glanced at him and said, "Can't you feel it?"
Teng Keli said unhappily, "Xu Jun is... feeling the power of wind?"
"Yes, he took the Gangfeng Stone you gave him and sat down, not wanting to listen to your nagging, and it became like this."
Teng Keli frowned and said, "But, this perception... No, this is, this is..." A gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes, and even his voice was a little unstable.
"The true meaning of wind." A soft voice sounded beside him.
Master Shu Huijin's eyes flashed with a strange light, and said, "This child's talent is really terrible. How can he perceive the true meaning of wind by perceiving a Gangfeng Stone?"
Suddenly, Master Shu turned his head and said, "Master Teng, what exactly did you give him?"
Teng Keli's lips trembled slightly. He wanted to tell everyone that this was just an ordinary Gangfeng Stone. It was
exactly the same as the Gangfeng Stones produced from Fengshan Blessed Land in recent years, without any difference.
However, when he sensed the increasingly strong wind rising from Xu Jun and the increasingly obvious true meaning of wind, he couldn't say this sentence at all. Just
relying on a Gangfeng Stone, can you comprehend the true meaning of wind?
Who are you kidding!
Even if he saw it with his own eyes... No, it was because he saw it with his own eyes that he couldn't believe it.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Could it be that this was not an ordinary Gangfeng stone, but a treasure that hid some great secret of Fengshan Fudi?
"Huh..."
The wind around Xu Jun was no longer a small breeze, but gradually turned into a Gangfeng, a gust of wind, and a storm.
Moreover, the speed was extremely fast. Except for the three of them, the rest of the people seemed to be affected to a certain extent.
Zhongli Zhili immediately said: "Daoyou Teng, evacuate the people quickly, immediately, right away..."
Teng Keli's mouth twitched slightly. He certainly understood that the best way now was to interrupt Xu Jun's perception, so that the Gangfeng that suddenly appeared around him would completely disappear.
However, even if his head was really kicked by a donkey, he would not do such a thing.
Interrupt others when they are perceiving the true meaning of the Great Dao?
This kind of hatred that blocks the Dao, unless it is an irreconcilable mortal enemy, no one would do it.
In comparison, dismissing students and destroying some supplies are really just child's play.
"All students, listen to my orders and leave this peak immediately."
With Tenkeli's order, everyone immediately took action.
Although most students didn't know what happened, the inexplicable strong wind brought them great pressure.
Therefore, after receiving the order from Jindan Zhenren, everyone spontaneously retreated.
Countless people ran for their lives. In a blink of an eye, the closing ceremony square was empty except for the three Jindan and Xu Jun.
"Hu..."
The huge strong wind roared, forming a tornado that is extremely rare on land.
Trees several feet high were uprooted, and the magnificent buildings were under great pressure under the strong wind.
Suddenly, this place was a scene of flying sand and rocks, the end of the world.
The three Zhenren stood silently, and did not take action to control this strange weather.
In the distance, powerful divine senses explored over.
Even if Tenkeli was unwilling, he could only release his divine sense and deal with them one by one.
Soon, an incredible piece of news spread throughout the Baibing Dao Palace.
Xu Jun from the Natural Dao Palace was enlightened by the Gangfeng Stone awarded by the Baibing Dao Palace.
Therefore, Xu Jun had an epiphany, and he was now enlightened to the true meaning of wind.
Sensing the Gangfeng Stone and enlightening to the true meaning of wind?
Everyone who got this news felt that their three views seemed to be shattered by something.
Completely shattered, the kind that could not be repaired even by cultivation!
After a long time, Xu Jun let out a long breath, and the true meaning of wind and the raging wind that filled the air were finally exhausted.
He opened his eyes, looked around suspiciously, and asked curiously: "Dean, what's wrong?"
That expression, that look, was exactly the same as Xu Yi in the past. No
one could find any fault with him!
...
...
Baibing Dao Palace, in the most luxurious hotel.
The place where Xu Jun lives has been adjusted to the same level as Zhongli Zhili, with a loft room with a yard.
If you want to live in such a suite in Baibing Yingbin Peak, it is not a matter of money.
No matter how rich you are, you can't expect the owner here to nod his head.
Here, there is only one standard for which room you can live in, and that is the identity of a cultivator.
Xu Jun had previously visited with the team as an ordinary student of the Natural Dao Palace, so he lived in a small double villa.
Although everyone has an independent private space and can practice in the room. But after all, they share a living room, which is inconvenient for some things.
However, when Xu Jun won the first place in the Three Palaces Elite Exchange Conference, adjustments were made and he was arranged in a single villa.
This expresses the respect of Baibing Dao Palace for him, and once such treatment has been given for the first time, he will automatically get the same status when he comes again.
But now, at the closing ceremony yesterday, after Xu Jun suddenly realized the true meaning of wind, his treatment was upgraded again, and he became a loft of the same level as Zhongli Zhili, which only Jindan Zhenren were qualified to live in.
Previously, customers who lived in this kind of loft had to be at least at the foundation-building stage.
And the situation of providing a single Qi training period cultivator alone was indeed the first time in history.
However, this time, no one in Baibing Dao Palace objected.
All this is because of the true meaning of wind!
For a cultivator who has realized the true meaning of the Great Dao, no matter how high the courtesy is, it is not too much.
As for the Gangfeng Stone that Xu Jun used when he realized the true meaning of wind, it has been shamelessly asked for by Zhenren Teng.
Zhenren Teng vowed that he would package the Gangfeng Stone and put it in the auditorium for later visitors to admire, so that they would know that Xu Jun was here, using this Gangfeng Stone to realize the true meaning of wind.
Although Xu Jun knew that this was just an interface and wording, he still returned the Gangfeng Stone to him without hesitation.
At that moment, Xu Jun noticed the unwilling looks of Zhongli Zhili and Shu Huijin.
It is estimated that these three Jindan Zhenren all thought that there must be some secret hidden in this Gangfeng Stone.
If they study it thoroughly, they may be able to comprehend something from it.
However, Xu Jun is sure that even if they crush the Gangfeng Stone, they will not be able to find the so-called secret. After
calculating the time, Xu Jun felt a little strange.
Logically, they should set off to return after the exchange meeting.
Zhongli Zhili is the dean of the Physical Cultivation Branch. He has a lot of chores on weekdays and needs to be in charge on many occasions.
However, Zhongli Zhili has never mentioned leaving in the past few days. Instead, when they met, his face was quite solemn, as if he was carefully considering something.
However, since Dean Zhongli was not in a hurry, he didn't care.
Anyway, no matter where he was, as long as he was given a place to practice, he could live safely.
Suddenly, the watch rang, and Xu Jun's consciousness moved slightly, and he immediately responded.
A moment later, the attic door opened, and Zhongli Zhili and Teng Keli walked in together.
Xu Jun was a little amused. Dean Zhongli had always hated this mortal enemy, but now they were together and seemed to be in harmony.
"Xu Jun, congratulations on understanding the true meaning of wind." Teng Keli said with a smile.
Xu Jun bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you, Immortal."
"Ahem." Zhongli Zhili said, "Fellow Daoist Teng, let's talk business."
"Okay." Teng Keli said solemnly, "Xu Jun, have you heard of the Fengshan Fudi small world?"
Xu Jun glanced at Dean Zhongli and said, "I heard the dean mention it. The dean said that there are a lot of Gangfeng stones there, but because of the war with the demon clan, it will no longer belong to us."
"Yes, that's it." Teng Keli sighed and said, "Three thousand years ago, the five true monarchs of our Baibingyi system went deep into the demon world, killed a demon monarch, and pulled the Fengshan Fudi small world out of the demon world."
There was a touch of pride on his face, and he said, "At that time, the Fengshan Fudi small world was unique to the Immortal Alliance, and the large amount of Gangfeng stones produced were used in all walks of life in the Immortal Alliance. It was an unprecedented event."
Xu Jun nodded repeatedly. Although he didn't know much about this history, it didn't prevent him from applauding for the human race predecessors of the Immortal Alliance.
However, he remembered some words in his heart.
Pulling the Fengshan Fudi small world out of the demon world!
What does this mean? Could this kind of small world sink into the demon world... and similar small worlds in the demon world can also be pulled out?
The Immortal Alliance's blockade of knowledge is not strict, but everything about the demons is vague.
Even though Xu Jun is now a cultivator, he rarely comes into contact with records about the demons. The
only thing he knows is that the Immortal Alliance has many places called extraterritorial battlefields.
Every year, countless cultivators go to the extraterritorial battlefields.
Xu Jun asked about it once, but was severely warned. Students are not allowed to inquire about any information about the extraterritorial battlefields, nor are they allowed to dream of entering them.
However, after graduation, if you are determined to follow the path of killing, you can sign up to go to the extraterritorial battlefields.
Could it be that these extraterritorial battlefields are the places where the demons are fought?
Teng Keli continued: "Unfortunately, thirty years ago, the demons discovered a space tunnel leading to Fengshan Fudi. They initially sent a small number of elite troops to infiltrate and slowly expand the passage. When we discovered it, they had already established a permanent and stable passage and sent in a large number of demons to compete with us for control of Fengshan Fudi."
Demons!
Xu Jun was much more familiar with this. In fact, for humans, there was no difference between demons and monsters.
In Xu Jun's understanding, one could be eaten with confidence, while the other... was more disgusting to eat.
Because even the mermaids were actually a type of demon.
The humans of the Immortal Alliance named all non-human intelligent creatures as demons.
Similarly, in the eyes of the mermaids, humans were also non-mermaid life forms, and were no different from other demons.
Xu Jun nodded slightly and said, "Master Teng, since the demons are here, let's just fight them. I remember that in the history of the Immortal Alliance, there have been many wars with the demons."
"Indeed, there have been many, and many of our blessed lands and small worlds were actually taken from the demons."
Xu Jun nodded slightly and said, "Then why did we fail in Fengshan Blessed Land?"
Tenkeli sighed and said, "It's very simple, because it is a second-level spiritual world. Whether it's us or the demon race, the highest level of cultivation that can enter is only the foundation-building stage."
Xu Jun was surprised and said, "The demon race's foundation-building stage is stronger than ours?"
Tenkeli's face flashed a trace of embarrassment, and said, "No, I can only say that the demon race's foundation-building stage is indeed stronger than our human race in the Fengshan Fudi small world."
Xu Jun looked at Zhongli Zhili, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Zhongli Zhili solved the mystery very straightforwardly: "The army of the Immortal Alliance and the demon race have been fighting in Fengshan Fudi for thirty years. Originally, they were evenly matched. However, since Pengxin of the Tianpeng Clan realized the true meaning of wind thirty years ago, he started a massacre in Fengshan Fudi. Our army has suffered heavy losses. The higher-ups are discussing whether to give up Fengshan Fudi."
Xu Jun was surprised and said, "The demon race also has a genius who can comprehend the true meaning of the avenue at the second level?"
Zhongli Zhili and Tenkeli were both stunned. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Xu Jun, the inheritance of the demon race is not inferior to that of our human race, and the time is even longer and cannot be traced. Moreover, if there is a demon race with ancestral blood, it must be a peerless genius. Peng Xin is one of them, and it is not surprising that he has comprehended the true meaning of wind."
Xu Jun nodded slightly and said, "Master Teng, you asked me to go to Fengshan Fudi to deal with Peng Xin?"
Everyone is a smart person, thinking of Zhongli Zhili's performance a few days ago. At this point, Xu Jun couldn't guess it, then there was something fishy.
Teng Keli said solemnly: "Yes, but even if you agree, we have to wait until you build your foundation before we can go."
Xu Jun's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately understood what he meant.
Peng Xin is a demon race after all, and the war with the demon race is a bloody fight of life and death. Therefore, even if Xu Jun is used, there can be no big difference in realm in cultivation.
On the contrary, it doesn't matter inside the Immortal Alliance Dao Palace.
It's like the fight between Xu Jun and the Seven Star Daozi Zhong Xinyue, when Xu Jun was fighting with all his strength and was about to hurt the other party.
Before Shu Huijin could make a move, Zhongli Zhili intercepted him first.
However, if we go to Fengshan Blessed Land, it will be a life-and-death fight. Everyone will accept their fate and die. No one will come to rescue us.
Xu Jun pondered and looked at Zhongli Zhili.
The latter said in a deep voice: "Xu Jun, make your own decision and don't let anyone interfere with your words. If you go, we will provide logistics for you. If you don't go, no one will blame you for it. Because you haven't graduated yet."
Xu Jun was stunned and asked, "What if I graduate?"
"If you graduate, the Immortal Alliance will issue a conscription order to the immortal cultivators according to demand. You have the right to refuse, but if you refuse, the treatment of the Immortal Alliance will be reduced. The consequence of repeated refusals is that it will be difficult to obtain advanced resources from the Immortal Alliance in the end."
Xu Jun nodded and said, "It's fair. "
The Immortal Alliance has worked hard to train immortal cultivators, not to let them be their masters.
If you desert when you are needed, we will naturally not be polite to you anymore.
However, it is never enforced...
Xu Jun feels that this is a bit too humane.
If it were him, as long as he refused twice, he would definitely not care about this ungrateful person anymore.
Zhongli Zhili gave Teng Keli a look.
Teng Keli stood up and said, "Student Xu Jun, we have said everything we should say. If you decide to go, please complete the foundation building and consolidate your realm within ten years."
"Ah, why?"
"Because according to our estimates, the Immortal Alliance can only hold on to Fengshan Blessed Land for ten years without suffering heavy casualties. Once the time limit is exceeded and the battle situation has not improved. The Immortal Alliance army must withdraw. "
After saying that, the two Jindan nodded and left together.
Xu Jun's eyebrows moved slightly.
Ten years?
He glanced at his palm, and then he felt a tremor in his Dantian, and the killing intent soared to the sky.
The sword energy was crisscrossed, the lightning flashed, and there was no peace for a moment.
Okay, okay, little ancestors, please rest assured, I will find a place as soon as possible, so that you can kill happily...
He looked up and let out a long breath.
This time, it seems that it is impossible not to go.
It's strange, the thunder hammer is fine, after all, it is an outsider, God knows what its temper was before.
But the Silver Moon Cold Light Sword, that is the cub I raised.
When did it become so murderous?
