Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 169 - : 169: Path to Death

Translator: 549690339

As for the Outer Disciple Competition, He Song had no intention of participating.

Even if Ping’er constantly said that she wanted to see his heroic figure.

But He Song didn’t budge.

Participating in the Outer Disciple Competition had no benefits for He Song; on the contrary, the drawbacks were numerous.

Even if He Song could make it into the top ten, top three, or even take first place.

For He Song, it would only increase the attention others paid to him, expose him to the public, and reveal his secrets even faster.

It was simply a path to self-destruction.

As for the rewards for the top ten, top three, or even first place.

There was no attraction for He Song.

Foundation Establishment Elixirs? He Song didn’t lack any.

High -quality Artifacts? He Song didn’t lack any either.

The identity of a Golden Elixir Master’s disciple? What could be more terrifying than constantly being watched by a Golden Elixir elder?

As an everlasting being, He Song was not supposed to appear before others when his strength was low.

If he took first place in the competition.

A Golden Elixir Master would be right by his side, and every move he made would be exposed to the Golden Elixir Master.

He Song had many secrets, and if they were discovered.

He might not even have a chance to run.

Wasn’t that seeking death?

Therefore.

Regarding this Outer Disciple Competition.

He Song initially had no intention of participating or even going to watch.

However, many outer disciples chose to participate in the Outer Disciple Competition, and only a few did not participate. Although they did not participate, they still went to watch.

In this way, after learning about the movements of other disciples, He Song had to leave and go to watch the Outer Disciple Competition.

In order not to appear eccentric.

In order not to become the most eye-catching person in the crowd.

In order not to be incompatible with other disciples because of not participating in the Outer Disciple Competition or even watching it.

In order not to be remembered by those Foundation Establishment elders and Golden Elixir Masters.

In the end, He Song had no choice but to come to the scene of the Outer Disciple Competition.

He could choose not to participate.

But he had to come and watch.

By doing this, he wasn’t part of the majority that participated in the competition, but he wasn’t a complete anomaly, either.

There were also some outer disciples who didn’t participate in the Outer Disciple Competition but came to watch.

He Song blended in with these people and didn’t attract too much attention. f(r)eenovelkiss

On the huge square in the Thick Earth Sect’s outer disciple area.

Ten competition stages were neatly arranged.

He Song quickly glanced at the rules of the Outer Disciple Competition.

By the end of the competition, the ten people still standing on the stage would be the top ten of the Outer Disciple Competition.

After the stage competition was over, the ten people would then continue to decide the top three and the first place.

He Song had just arrived here and hadn’t had time to study the rules before looking for a stage to watch.

When he saw a petite figure appear in front of him.

“Junior Brother He, I knew you would come. Come with me quickly, Junior

Sister Ping’er’s match is about to start. Let’s hurry over.”

As the voice sounded, He Song looked up and saw Chu Shuangshuang had already taken a step forward and was leading the way in front of him.

Seeing this, He Song was speechless.

He just came to join in the fun.

Just to avoid appearing too eccentric.

How did it turn into he would definitely come when Chu Shuangshuang said it? He clearly refused Ping’er very decisively when she wanted him to participate before.

However, watching Chu Shuangshuang’s figure gradually move away, He Song thought about it and quickly followed her.

Since he was here anyway.

It didn’t matter who he watched.

Although Ping’er was only at the eighth-tier of Qi Refining, since she dared to participate, she must have had a trump card.

Thinking about this.

He Song quickly followed Chu Shuangshuang and arrived at a competition stage.

Standing side by side with Chu Shuangshuang below the stage, He Song looked up and immediately saw Ping’er’s figure.

At this time, Pinger looked different from the Ping’er He Song knew in his daily life.

Pinger loved to smile and was always warm and gentle with others.

But now, standing on the stage, her face was extremely serious.

She had surrounded herself with Artifact shields, and mana swords swam around her like a dragon.

Opposite Ping’er was also a female cultivator.

He Song didn’t recognize the woman, but as a cultivator, she was beautiful as well.

However, the Cultivation World was full of beauties, and He Song only glanced at her before focusing on Ping’er.

“An eighth-tier Qi Refining fighting against a ninth-tier? Does Ping’er have a trump card?”

As he murmured to himself, He Song was about to find out what Ping’er’s trump card was that could give her the confidence to win against a higher level.

When Chu Shuangshuang, who was standing beside him, suddenly showed a strange look on her face.

“Junior Sister Ping’er usually focuses on cultivating, and I haven’t seen her practice any skills. As for a trump card…l guess she doesn’t have any.”

As if explaining to He Song, and as if thinking that Ping’er was bound to lose, Chu Shuangshuang spoke with an increasingly strange look on her face.

Turning to look at He Song, Chu Shuangshuang saw the astonishment on his face as he looked at her and continued to speak.

“I tried to persuade her, but she insisted on seeing just how powerful our fellow sisters are. Besides, her cultivation is low, so losing wouldn’t be a disgrace.”

“So… ‘

As she looked at the two people on the stage who had already begun to bow to each other, seemingly preparing for the next moment to take action.

Chu Shuangshuang sighed.

She shook her head.

After shrugging her shoulders toward He Song, she didn’t say anything more about the matter.

Hearing Chu Shuangshuang’s words, He Song was at a loss for words.

He initially thought that Ping’er had some trump card up her sleeve, perhaps capable of defeating a stronger opponent despite her weaker cultivation.

Unexpectedly, Ping’er didn’t have any trump cards, and she only wanted to go on the stage to learn from the other sisters.

With her cultivation at the eighth-tier of Qi Refining, losing wasn’t a disgrace, as Chu Shuangshuang said.

At this moment, the majority of disciples on the stage were at the ninth-tier Qi Refining, and some even had reached the Qi Refining great perfection.

Under such circumstances,

It would be challenging for her, an eighth -tier Qi Refining cultivator without any trump cards, to win.

On the stage,

After Ping’er and the female cultivator opposite her exchanged greetings, they quickly started fighting.

On the stage, two mana swords clanged and rang, and under their mutual strikes, surges of spirit power overflowed.

However, standing below the stage, He Song could clearly perceive that Ping’er was running out of strength.

As expected.

After fighting for a few rounds, Ping’er straightforwardly conceded. Since Ping’er had admitted defeat,

The two on the stage exchanged greetings and farewells once more.

Pinger soon left the stage.

She came over to He Song and the others.

As soon as He Song and the others arrived, she had noticed their presence.

Unfortunately, she was busy on the stage at the time and had no time to greet them.

Now that she had conceded, Ping’er naturally came over immediately.

“Brother, Sister, I lost, ” Ping’er said in a low voice, but upon closer inspection, He Song noticed that despite her words, there wasn’t a trace of discouragement on her face.

It seemed that Chu Shuangshuang’s earlier statement that Ping’er only wanted to go on stage to learn from her fellow sisters was accurate.

From Ping’er’s unfazed expression, it was evident that she probably had never thought of winning in the first place.

In this case,

He Song simply nodded his head and didn’t say anything else.

Chu Shuangshuang on the side also didn’t say anything to comfort Ping’er, only nodding her head like He Song, before leading the two of them away from this stage.

The three of them only stopped after arriving underneath a new stage, and then began to chat casually.

He Song was unwilling to participate in the Outer Disciple Competition.

Chu Shuangshuang already had a Foundation Establishment Elixir and didn’t need to participate in the Outer Disciple Competition.

Since Ping’er had already participated, she naturally didn’t think about going on stage again.

Thus,

When the three gathered together, commenting on the fighting disciples on the stages became a good way to pass the time.

He Song had quite an extensive network among the outer disciples.

While chatting casually with the two beside him, other outer disciples that he knew would occasionally come to greet him.

He Song responded to each of them without appearing unsociable,

Just like an ordinary outer disciple, not drawing any attention.

The traditional Thick Earth Sect’s Outer Disciple Competition was held once every thirty years.

The once-in-thirty-years competition was quite a grand event, and its rewards were even more abundant.

At that time, Foundation Establishment elders from within the sect would come to seek disciples.

Unlike this Outer Disciple Competition, which was quite modest with only ten stages.

This Outer Disciple Competition was not a tradition of the Thick Earth Sect but the Outer Disciple Competition held by Master Fa Xuan in order to compensate the outer disciples.

Its purpose

Was actually to make it easier for the outer disciples to advance to Foundation Establishment and to have more Foundation Establishment Masters born within the sect.

That’s why ten Foundation Establishment Elixirs were awarded this time.

In the outside world, many outer disciples already have Foundation Establishment elders as their masters, and their Foundation Establishment Elixirs were basically taken care of by their masters.

Just like Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs for the two of them were taken care of by Master Qingyue, and they didn’t need to worry about it themselves.

This time, the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect went to war, requiring all disciples to return to the sect’s headquarters.

At the same time, their masters would also be requisitioned by the sect to fight against the Seven Star Sect.

In that case, some disciples who had reached the Qi Refining great perfection would be left without Foundation Establishment Elixirs for their breakthrough.

Also, their masters might not have time to find Foundation Establishment Elixirs for them anymore.

Under such circumstances,

Holding an impromptu Outer Disciple Competition and issuing Foundation Establishment Elixirs to outer disciples who had reached Qi Refining great perfection but couldn’t break through due to a lack of elixirs became an excellent solution.

Disciples at the Qi Refining great perfection were, of course, stronger than regular ninth-tier Qi Refining disciples.

Their chances of getting higher rankings were naturally greater.

As for other rewards, such as high-quality Artifacts and becoming a disciple of the Sect Leader,

They were all secondary.

If they already had a master, even if they won first place, they might not be able to enjoy the status as a disciple of the Sect Leader.

The hierarchy of respect for masters was quite strict in the Cultivation World..
