Chapter 81 Zhao Mingtong also came to apply.
This question was raised before returning to Hetian, but Qian Li flatly rejected it then, and now he is not so sure.
"Those three sects are preparing for the Literary Heart Conference. Although they have sent out invitations, not a single person with more than five petals has gone out... I suspect that perhaps they have found a secret realm in Flying Eagle Mountain and discovered an ancient hidden divine script formation."
"Although we fabricated information to deceive them before, there were indeed signs of a secret realm in that place, but we just couldn't find it."
"Shen Conghui has always had good luck. This time, he was just lucky to survive. Perhaps they really did find the secret realm, and the treasures inside protected their lives?"
"Otherwise, why would Qin Bilian, who usually doesn't get involved much, go to the trouble of using an inter-domain airship to fetch those seriously injured disciples from Flying Eagle Mountain? I suspect he was pretending to fetch people, but his real purpose was to retrieve treasures!"
Several dozen breaths later, Huihe Tian sent another anxious message: "Brother Qian, we must find a way to break through the Yunding Sect, otherwise, once the people from Flying Eagle Mountain return in two days, we will have even less of a chance!"
Jiang Mingkun's divine sense suddenly burst in excitedly: "Everyone, our sect just received news from the Golden Python Sect. They discovered Shen Conghui and his disciple Cao He at Flying Eagle Mountain, along with that medical cultivator Hua Xufang!"
"The Golden Python Sect has already followed. Once we capture them, we might be able to learn from them what kind of divine script combination that concealed formation is!"
Qian Li immediately perked up: "Great! Zheng Ye has finally done something this time!"
"Be careful, it might be a trap!" Huihe Tian hurriedly warned, "They were hiding so well, why did they suddenly reappear? Besides, you all know Hua Xufang's medical skills; he's only just reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm. How could he possibly cure Old Man Shen's deadly poison?"
A few breaths later, Jiang Mingkun impatiently sent out his divine sense again: "This is the only chance to find out about the hidden divine rune formation. Time can't be wasted! Even if it's a trap, I can't care anymore!"
"Gentlemen, in half an hour, when it's dawn, we'll board the airship and try our luck with the 'Breaking God' character!"
"Yes!" Huihe Tian immediately agreed with his divine sense: "Let's try to see if we can break through from the top of the mountain."
……
Wang Yan walked outside the main hall and looked around.
In the distant sky, a faint light suddenly appeared, revealing a pale, fish-belly white glow.
He stared intently, noticing the colorful stripes that were wide in the middle and narrow at both ends—these were the different intensities of light.
Wait a moment longer, and you'll see the dazzling sun leap out from the widest part of the ribbon.
I murmured to myself a line of modern poetry I had read in a past life.
"White clouds surge like the sea, crimson clouds spread across the sky like fire!"
This mysterious world, with its spectacular sunrise, is indeed slightly better than modern Earth.
"From now on, I want to choose a cave on Shenwen Peak that's convenient for watching the sunrise, and watch it every day!"
This also suggests that although the Cloud Cauldron Sect is currently surrounded by three sects and has few experts within its ranks, it will eventually emerge from the darkness and rise like the sun in the east.
……
After lunch, Wang Yan had just drawn a few sheets of Xuan Qi gold paper depicting the "Heavenly Net" when he was invited to the control room next door by Deacon Xiao Jin.
Qin Bilian looked at him gently: "Your suggestion regarding the return of reinforcements has been discussed by the peak masters and elders, and they have decided to adopt it. Two teams of disciples are already on their way back to the sect and will arrive in the next two days. We only need to hold out for two more days."
"Furthermore," Qin Bilian's handsome face showed a hint of helplessness, "we received a notice from the Bihua Sect, that three months from now, they are inviting all disciples of our sect with four petals of the Wenxin Flower or higher to their Bihua Sect territory for a Divine Inscription Gathering."
Wang Yan was slightly taken aback: "Bihua Sect... is it a top-tier sect?"
Qin Shizu nodded slightly: "Their core script is also the white six-petaled script flower, which has been dedicated to creating new divine script combat techniques. Every five years, they convene some promising lower-level sect writers to hold a Divine Script Conference to discuss and exchange ideas. Many of the divine scripts of our Yunding Sect in the past were inspired by the Divine Script Conference."
"While everyone in our sect knows that you possess the Six-Petaled Flower of the Heart, those other sects probably don't. Otherwise, they would have secretly captured you first."
"If you don't want to attend the Divine Writing Society, I won't force you. Do you want to go, or don't you want to go?"
Wang Yan pondered for a few moments, then smiled with relief: "This disciple has already reached the Profound Breakthrough Realm and is willing to participate."
Master Qin's brows relaxed: "Alright! Jiang Linyue should return to the sect by then, and Xiao Deng will take you there together."
Wang Yan bowed respectfully: "Then this disciple will go and write the character 'divine' first."
After Master Qin nodded in approval, Wang Yan left the room.
But before he could return to his temporary room, he sensed the doors of the Temple of Divine Script being pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mingtong, who had not been seen for several days, walked in with red eyes and an excited flush on his face, accompanied by a middle-aged cultivator with abundant qi and blood. He proudly bowed to Qiu Xuankuang, who was on duty in front of the screen.
"Qiu Xuankuang, I would like to submit a set of inspiring articles."
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
This kid actually tried it!
Qiu Xuankuang quickly turned to look at him, then turned back to Zhao Mingtong and said in a gentle tone, "Young Master Zhao, Wang Yan submitted the morale-boosting inscription yesterday..."
Seeing Zhao Mingtong pause in surprise, then look up at him with a hint of envy, a touch of jealousy, and resentment in his eyes, Wang Yan slowly walked downstairs while waving casually at Zhao Mingtong.
Zhao Mingtong hesitated for a moment, then nodded awkwardly to Wang Yan before stubbornly turning to Qiu Xuankuang: "What I want to apply for is a character related to the 'life' element, similar to the inscription on the wall of the Xi Shen Temple. Of course, if Junior Brother Wang can come up with something similar, I'd be willing to compete."
Seeing the stubbornness in Zhao Mingtong's eyes, Wang Yan, who had already reached the first floor, turned his gaze and said, "Senior Brother Qiu, I'm also very curious to know what kind of divine script he came up with. Just let him apply for it!"
A moment later, Zhao Mingtong gave him a slightly provocative look, then arrogantly handed over ten taels of silver and entered the "Life" room. Qiu Xuankuang glanced helplessly at the middle-aged cultivator who remained silent, presumably a guard, before looking at Wang Yan: "This young master Zhao is determined to defeat you!"
"It's good to have some ambition, so I don't always live in Elder Zhao's shadow and feel too much pressure," Wang Yan said half-jokingly. "Besides, my divine script can't always be the best in the world. I'd be quite happy if he could come up with some good divine script."
Qiu Xuankuang's eyes showed a hint of approval: "Junior Brother Wang Yan, it seems you didn't feel any pressure when you first applied for the Divine Script Combination. Did you think you wouldn't fail?"
"I'm just an ordinary farmer from the countryside," Wang Yan said, half-jokingly. "I don't need to care too much about face. Zhao Mingtong is different. He started from a high point, so he gets more criticism. He cares about face, so naturally he feels pressured."
He relaxed and sat down on the chair next to Qiu Xuankuang: "I'm a little tired, so I'll play with him for a bit."
Half a cup of tea later, Wang Yan, who was fiddling with the character "神" (divine) in his sea of consciousness, heard an announcement from inside the hall: "Congratulations to Zhao Mingtong, a Level 3 Spirit Sprout, for creating a new, inspiring divine script. Late-stage Xuan Dong disciples can use it. It ranks third among 'Life' type divine scripts at or below the Ning Yuan realm, and is awarded 4000 points."
