Chapter 316: Chapter 20: The Seven Great Taoist Sects
The tower had ninety-nine levels, and each level had seven chains shining with dark light stretching out from the eaves, connecting it to the seven vast and majestic mountains nearby.
Nearly seven hundred chains clanged together in the air, creating a spectacular sight that shook the spirit of anyone who saw it.
At first glance, the tower seemed infinitely large, radiant with colorful treasure light, glittering brightly.
At the base of the tower was a massive deep pit in which the pagoda was deeply embedded.
Lu Qingshan, who had just arrived, looked around the sky around him.
At this moment, the sky was densely populated with countless cultivator shadows, all staring at the pagoda with surprised and fervent gazes, their breathing rapid.
They were all cultivators who had passed the preliminary selection and came to Debate Dao City for the re-examination.
And this place would be where they competed.
On the first level of the Bronze Pagoda, there were notably seven closed bronze doors, encircling the tower.
Carved on them were countless exotic flowers and herbs, primeval fierce beasts, exuding a sense of age and ruggedness.
The enormous body of the tower was startlingly impressive.
In front of this Bronze Pagoda, cultivators were like ants, and even the seven majestic mountains seemed like small hills in comparison.
On those seven majestic mountains, numerous sounds of breaking wind rose, with trails of escaping light falling one after another.
“Each mountain represents a domain, and the sects from that domain will watch over your performance in the re-examination from atop these mountains.
Moreover, even if you do not rank high in the end, if there are aspects of your performance during the re-examination that are valued by these sect cultivators, it is possible for them to extend an olive branch to you,” explained the cultivator who led them here.
This statement instantly ignited the cultivators’ emotions.
Being watched by people from the Seven Taoist Sects and a hundred top-tier sects, the thought alone was both nerve-wracking and exciting.
What’s more, for most people, achieving a high ranking in the re-examination was difficult.
But as the powerful cultivator had said, it wasn’t necessary to achieve a very high rank; as long as there were highlights in one’s performance, there was also a chance to be recruited by a top-tier sect.
This immediately sparked their wild ambitions.
Who here didn’t have some skills?
Who knew if they might catch the eye of a top-tier sect, or even a Taoist Sect?
Lu Qingshan’s gaze swept over the tops of the seven mountains, and in the next instant, his pupils constricted sharply.
For at that moment, seven figures rose into the air, their opening and closing eyes carrying an indescribable terrifying pressure, covering this piece of heaven and earth, looming over them like deities from high above.
Lu Qingshan’s lips pursed tightly as he stared intently at these seven people.
They were the leaders of the Seven Taoist Sects in this Seven Domains’ Debate Dao, the main officials.
Standing on the far-right mountain was a middle-aged male cultivator dressed in a purple gold robe with silvery hair, his lips as thin as knife blades, his skin as pale as a baby’s.
This male cultivator had never glanced at the competing cultivators, maintaining an aloof demeanor that quite fitted the status of his sect.
For, he was one of the three Sect Leaders of the Rinsing Spirit Sect from the Central Spirit Domain, the Chang Geng Sect Leader.
And the Rinsing Spirit Sect was subtly emerging as the first among the Seven Taoist Sects.
Lu Qingshan’s gaze lingered on the Chang Geng Sect Leader, then shifted to the mountain on the left.
There stood a woman who appeared quite amiable, dressed in a moon-white-colored Taoist robe. She looked to be around thirty years old, with divine light in her eyes, radiating brilliance.
She is the deputy Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Central Heavenly Realm, Shui Yue Pavilion Master.
Beyond her was a man wearing a gray robe, surrounded by Yin Qi, his face shrouded in black mist, his appearance unclear.
He was one of the four Hall Masters from the Martial Debate Hall in the Central Martial Domain, Yi River Hall Master.
As for the figure on the far left that resembled both thunder and flame, he was the deputy Palace Master of the Great Pure Palace, the dominant sect in the Southern Territory, Deputy Palace Master Ling Ye.
Next to Deputy Palace Master Ling Ye, on the summit of the mountain, stood a robust male cultivator.
The veins on his bare arms surged like Qiu dragons, and one could even faintly hear the deep roars of tigers and dragons emanating from his body.
Clearly, this was a Body Cultivation master who had trained his body to an incredibly powerful level.
He was the Flying Saint from the Dragon Elephant Temple in the Western Domain.
To the right, there was an elderly man with slightly gray hair, his face lined with wrinkles, yet every move he made radiated vitality.
He was one of the five Tower Masters from the Armor Pavilion in the Northern Domain, an expert in Artifact Refining, Grand Master Xuan Ji.
Finally, standing on the central peak, was a middle-aged cultivator in a blue robe, a gentle smile on his face, but with a movement that couldn’t conceal an odd quality.
This quality made Lu Qingshan feel very close to him.
Because it was the quality unique to Sword Cultivators.
It’s commonly accepted that, placing an outstanding Sword Cultivator among other types of cultivators, without deploying any skills and judging only by appearance, a Sword Cultivator would likely be identified at first glance.
Because the quality of Sword Cultivators is too unique and cannot be imitated by others.
It is an indelible mark of casual unrestraint and transcendence ingrained in their very bones.
This middle-aged cultivator was one of the seven Peak Masters of the Eastern Domain Sword Sect, the Taibai Sword Master of Vastness Peak.
…
Lu Qingshan’s gaze swept over these seven mighty cultivators and finally rested on Taibai Sword Master, his heart echoing with some indescribable emotions.
He was a legend in the minds of many players, still unattainable despite Lu Qingshan’s transference into this world.
Other than this Seven Domains Debate Dao, other players almost never had the chance to meet them directly.
….
“Everyone, it seems about time” said Chang Geng Sect Leader, his silvery hair shimmering, his gaze lightly sweeping over the solid mass of people below, and then looking towards the other six Taoist cultivators, he slowly began to speak.
The other six slowly nodded their heads.
Seeing this, Chang Geng Sect Leader clasped his hands behind his back, slowly stood up, and flew towards the Bronze Pagoda, the other six cultivators following suit.
As the seven powerful Taoist cultivators began to move, the murmurings among the competing cultivators quickly subsided, and all eyes watched them with reverence.
In response to this reverential gaze, Chang Geng Sect Leader’s lips twitched slightly, revealing a rather satisfied smile.
The seven great Taoist cultivators hovered in front of the Bronze Pagoda, each raising their right hand and forming a complex Dharma Seal, pointing towards the Bronze Pagoda.
The Dharma Seal immediately flew out and fused into the seven doors of the pagoda.
Underneath these seven Dharma Seals, the Bronze Pagoda immediately emitted rumbling noises.
The seven bronze doors, corresponding to the seven Dharma Seals, started to tremble at this moment and slowly revealed a crack!
