Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Time passed, as every disciple of the nine peaks was working hard to make use of every minute and second, refusing to rx or ck off. Every day when the sun went down, the air was always filled with unwilling sighs.
“Why does time pass so fast!”
“I haven’t made much progress with my mystical Qi…”
“I’ll have to work harder tonight…”
“Only four days left to decide my fate…”
“Three more days.”
“Only two days left!”
“Thest day is counting down…”
The night before thestpetition, Yun Yang appeared in the little fellows’ rooms.
“Now that everyone is here, I’ll count to ten and you will all go to sleep! Anyone who has not fallen asleep after a quarter of an hour, I’ll immediately expel him or her from the sect!”
Yun Xiuxin, who was intending to organize the final sprint for her junior brothers and sisters, pouted her lips andy helplessly in bed. A quarter of an hourter, Yun Yang floated in the air outside while listening to the smooth breathing in the rooms with a smile.
Early in the morning next day, thestpetition of the nine peaks before the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner finally arrived! This was thepetition that would determine the candidates for the battle. Under the attention of everyone, thepetition officially kicked off.
Everyone, including the more than ten thousand children who had not yet been taken in as disciples, sat quietly in the stands. Although these children had not been cultivating for a long time, the ones with the strongest cultivation base had reached the realm of Earth Mystic! However, as the Residence of Nine Supremes had no n of taking in new disciples now, they could only stay in the mansion for now even though they were gifted. They could only work hard, waiting for the next recruitment.
All the children knew that thispetition was the most important one for their senior brothers and sisters: winners would represent the sect in the battle and seize the Celestial Luck Banner that would keep them safe for the rest of their lives!
The palms of all the disciples were warm and sweaty, and their eyes were anxious.
Which senior brothers and sisters would win?
For a long time, the Celestial Luck Banner had always existed in the legends. Perhaps, it would appear in their sect in the near future!
“No matter who wins or who goes to battle, they will always be the heroes of the Residence of Nine Supremes!”
As this sentence spread, the arena, which was full of more than ten thousand people, immediately fell into awe.
Yes, no matter who went to battle, as long as they could win, they were the heroes of the Residence of Nine Supremes!
A war drum roared.
“The disciples of the nine peaks are here!”
In the sky, ten beams of light lit up from different directions and then flew over! The Demiurge-wed Ten quietly appeared in front of the grandstand and then sat on the ten seats, five on the left and five on the right, ording to their ranking order.
“Greetings, Masters!”
More than ten thousand children knelt and saluted them at the same time.
Meanwhile, the disciples of the nine peaks filed through the entrance. The first to enter were the disciples of Central Peak, all dressed in snow-white robes. Yun Xiuxin was at the forefront; one of her hands was on the hilt of her sword, and her little pretty face was cold and serious. Behind her were Cheng Jiajia, Hu Xiaofan, Lu Changman, and the other disciples.
After them, Sun Mingxiu came in with his junior brothers and sister, and then Bai Yexing…
The disciples of nine peaks lined up in nine directions, each on one side. The scene was like white snowkes suddenly falling onto the verdant scenery of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
All of a sudden, an auspicious cloud appeared in the sky, apanied by a bright light like the rising sun and a colorful glow. Dressed in his usual purple clothes, Yun Yang quietly appeared in mid-air and then flew leisurely to the seat ced in the middle.
“The Sect Leader is here!”
At the sight of him, all the disciples and children present got excited. Everyone was staring at him, their eyes filled with passion!
Without the Sect Leader, there would be no Residence of Nine Supremes right now!
This sentence had already taken root in the hearts of all disciples and children, and would never fade away.
Without the Residence of Nine Supremes, they would still be goods and beggars, and no one would respect them. However, the Sect Leader was willing to take them in, regardless of their origin and ranks.
Because of him, these children, who had gone through the life of discement, now had a paradise-like warm family, and they could once again have the feeling of home! It was he who founded the Residence of Nine Supremes from scratch; it was he who had gathered more than ten thousand poor children; it was he who had fought fornd when he was still weak; it was he who protected the children and allowed them to live a happy life!
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
Many disciples and children could not help bursting into tears. When they saw Yun Yang, they felt as if they had seen their parents, their hearts filled with warmth andfort.
“Don’t stand on ceremony.”
Yun Yang’s voice resounded through the audience and shook the void, “Today is the first big day since the Residence of Nine Supremes was founded, and it is also the first step in our journey to acquire the Celestial Luck Banner. The Masters are ready. Now is the time for you, young generations, to prove whether you can take the lead and amaze us.”
Hearing his words, the eyes of Sun Mingxiu, Bai Yexing, Yun Xiuxin and others standing at the front of the line immediately lit up as they squared their shoulders.
“No failures or idents are allowed in this battle of the Celestial Luck Banner.”
Yun Yang’s eyes swept the whole audience as he said lightly, “In the world of warriors, the strong are respected. It doesn’t matter when one starts learning, but the one who discovers the truth should be the teacher. This is not only the ironw, but also the basic rule since the ancient times. When most people are bullied because of their weakness, they justin about the unfairness, and only a few people will choose to make themselves stronger. Yet, it is this choice that opens the door to the path of the strong.
“I hope each of you can be stronger and keep moving forward on this road of the strong.
“I won’t say much. Now, thepetition officially begins! All those who intend topete for the top ten disciples, take a step forward!”
A rumble rang out.
Without exception, the seventy-five first-generation disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes took a step forward in unison. No one flinched before fighting.
Looking at the youngest of the Central Peak’s disciples, Mo Youyou, an eight-year-old girl, Shi Wuchenughed and said, “Youyou, although it ismendable that you have reached the realm of Immortal Mystic at the age of eight, it is a bit overreaching topete for the position of top ten disciples with your current cultivation base. I think you’d better give up!”
Mo Youyou pouted her lips and said loudly, “Master once said that no matter what level our cultivation base is, we must have a heart of the strong, and we must always forge ahead bravely and unswervingly!
“Although my cultivation base is weak and my age is young, so what? I want to fight, and I will never give up!”
The little girl’s thin body was like a mimosa in the wind, and her voice was young. But, when she used all her strength to shout, her imposing manner was not weaker than that of a man.
Shi Wuchen was taken aback and then said, “Well, don’t cry when you get hurtter!”
Mo Youyou said loudly, “Master once said that we will habitually choose to ept what is established most of the time. For example, Elder Brother Sun and Elder Sister Yun are the top seed in thispetition. However, once we choose to ept it, we have actually withdrawn ourselves from thepetition and lost the qualification topete!
“The road of the strong requires disagreement and never giving up! If you are stronger than me today and have defeated me, I will naturally call you Senior Brother and respect you. However, if I defeat you tomorrow, you will have to call me Senior Sister!
“In the Residence of Nine Supremes, senior brothers and senior sisters are never just a name or a position, but an honor!
The ringing voice of the little girl echoed across the arena. All the children present were lost in thought, and many had their eyes lit up.
It was not a position, but an honor!
After thinking it over, Shi Wuchen shook his head and sighed. Yun Yang’s ability to teach his disciples was really too good. He was thoroughly convinced.
In fact, not only was Shi Wuchen convinced, but also were Luo Dajiang and the others, even though they did not say it out. Even Dong Qitian, who had been hiding nearby, admired Yun Yang even more!
“The top ten disciples of thestpetition are on standby. We will first decide the ten challengers from the remaining sixty-five disciples,” Yun Yang said lightly.
Thestpetition before the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner was finally kicked off officially.
